Chapter 829: Another Clone Body
"Drop your Weapon, stop resisting!"
"...!!"
The surrounding soldiers one after another pulled out energy weapons and aimed them at the three people in the center, yet they hesitated to approach.
After all, their highest-ranking officer had just died before their eyes. With just their paltry sum of numbers, going up would definitely be throwing their lives away.
The other lifeforms around looked at the three people with terrified expressions. No one expected to find a super-major wanted criminal here.
A Bounty amount of two billion was already enough to rank in the top ten of the Three Kings Civilization's current wanted list!
"Let's go. Don't waste time," Li Yu looked around and frowned slightly.
"Yes, My Lord." Andrei said in a low voice. This caused Sinclair, who still hadn't reacted next to him, to swallow hard.
This Codename Z was actually so respectful to the interstellar human beside him. He himself was already so powerful, so to what extent must this guy have reached?
They Looked at Each Other in Dismay. Some lifeforms' whole bodies were still shaking, feeling a sense of rejoicing as Survivors Of The Catastrophe.
On a Spaceship outside the planet, this was transformed from a certain Transformer.
"My Lord, I'm sorry, I made you lose face." Andrei had a nervous expression.
Although there was indeed no pressure when interacting with Li Yu normally, one couldn't forget that the lifeforms who died directly or indirectly at the Dragon Sovereign's hands were already countless.
"What's wrong?" Bloodlust approached from the side. He was still sealed in a metallic body, although he had been granted the Authority to move freely.
However, his "Kowtow" speed was a step slower than Andrei's, so under normal circumstances, Li Yu wouldn't bring him along for operations.
"No matter, it's just a small issue. It takes a bit too long to contact the Three Kings through normal channels. This Anti-King Organization is a very good entry point."
Li Yu didn't really mind this, but instead turned his gaze to the somewhat nervous Sinclair.
As a qualified member of a Resistance Organization, extracting information from a few isolated words and phrases was a beginner's skill for Sinclair.
From this guy's tone, she could draw an astonishing speculation—he had no respect for the Three Kings.
This might be a bit hard to understand. The members of the organization she was in all didn't respect the Three Kings.
But their lack of respect was different from the person before her.
After all, those were the Three Kings who had ruled the entire civilization for an unknown amount of time. Even if they were hostile, when discussing them, they couldn't help but carry a bit of Apprehension and hidden fear.
However, the person before her didn't. It seemed that to him, the Three Kings were no different from a passerby.
Combined with the fact that this guy codenamed Z was so respectful to this person, this made her almost certain that in all likelihood, this was a "Three Kings-level" powerful lifeform.
"Miss Sinclair, could you resolve some of my doubts for me?" Li Yu looked at Sinclair with a warm smile.
"You... please speak..." She couldn't help but be startled, her tone subconsciously becoming uneasy.
"It's good that you agree." Li Yu smiled, and two tiny Magic Symbols surged into Sinclair's mind.
This caused her body to stiffen. Her pupils emitted an enchanting red light, and a massive amount of memory fragments were projected out.
Claptrap was responsible for recording on the side, and synthesized information data based on these memory fragments.
If he really had to ask sentence by sentence, who knew how much time would be wasted.
This was a kind of Black Magic called "Memory Scrutiny." It was incredibly suitable for dealing with weak lifeforms whose mental resistance wasn't high.
Even so, the high-speed projection of memory fragments took a full half a day or so before Claptrap finished integrating and processing them.
Sinclair fell to the floor, her eyes gradually regaining clarity, but she suddenly felt as if a large stone had been pressed onto her head.
That was an illusion born from excessive mental fatigue. She was somewhat bewildered, not knowing what had happened yet.
However, she saw the person at the head flipping through a Holographic Screen, muttering something occasionally.
A moment later, Li Yu obtained the information he wanted, and there was also some unexpected harvest.
According to the Anti-King Organization's intelligence, one of the three kings, "Present," had already accommodated two streaks of Source Matter and was about to accommodate a third.
If successful, a qualitative change would occur.
And the goal of the Anti-King Organization was to sabotage this Source Matter transportation plan.
There weren't many civilizations that possessed Source Matter extraction Technology. At the very least, the three kings didn't have it; they purchased the Source Matter from the Iron-Blood Civilization.
This cost a massive price, causing the three kings to constantly oppress the citizens within their borders. This resulted in the citizens of the Three Kings Civilization constantly living in a state of Deep water and scorching fire.
The Anti-King Organization was also born because of this, wanting to rescue the entire civilization from this situation.
At least, that was what they believed.
However, with the three kings acting as Super Lifeforms, being both the highest rulers and the highest combat power, this situation made people despair.
Therefore, they absolutely could not be allowed to continue growing stronger.
The Anti-King Organization's plan was like this: they wanted to figure out the Iron-Blood Civilization's Source Matter transportation trajectory, and then lay an ambush in advance to intercept the Source Matter.
Of course, this plan was definitely exceptionally complicated and required a massive amount of manpower and material resources.
They had been busy with this plan for at least a year, and Sinclair was just a negligible link in this plan.
She didn't even know what kind of role her actions played in the overall plan.
What made Li Yu feel the strangest was that this Anti-King Organization actually had a Super Lifeform, which was the Leader of the organization—the Eternal King.
"Logically speaking, if it were a native Super Lifeform, they shouldn't be unable to see that if they created a division, the end result would very likely lead to the annihilation of the Three Kings Civilization." Li Yu rubbed his chin.
"If it were a foreign Super Lifeform, it's impossible that the three kings wouldn't use this as a target for a counterattack and heavily publicize it. Interesting."
"Intercepting Source Matter is quite an interesting plan, but I'm more curious about how the three kings actually Devour Source Matter."
Sinclair obviously didn't know this kind of information, so he could only look for that so-called "Eternal King."
"I want to meet the Leader of your organization. I have a deal to make with him."
Li Yu gazed at Sinclair. The downward gaze of this high-tier lifeform caused an inexplicable tremor in Sinclair's heart. She braced herself and said: "I don't have the Authority to contact the Leader directly. I can only report it layer by layer."
Li Yu's tone was indifferent: "Then go report."
"Then how should I address you?" Sinclair asked her final question.
"Dragon Sovereign."
Next, Sinclair contacted her superiors layer by layer from here, explaining the current situation and presenting a series of proofs. It was passed on layer by layer before finally contacting their ultimate boss.
However, the other party didn't want to talk too much on the network.
The Interstellar Network within the Three Kings Civilization was under real-time monitoring. Using their network to communicate was very prone to problems.
The other party sent coordinates, inviting Li Yu to head to their Headquarters.
Li Yu's Confidence comes from ability, so naturally, he didn't refuse, heading toward the coordinates the other party transmitted over.
That, of course, was not the coordinates of the Headquarters, but a certain transit planet.
If a middle-or-low-tier Member just saying a few words could expose the coordinates of their Headquarters, it would be impossible for them to remain active until now.
The other party was rather cautious. The rendezvous point was on an ordinary planet. It took nearly half a month to arrive at this planet's spaceport.
As soon as Li Yu stepped off the Spaceship, he looked back and saw a person among the crowd staring firmly at them with an inexplicable gaze. This was an A-Tier Lifeform.
Seeing Li Yu look toward him, the other party nodded, and then turned and left.
"It should be him. Let's follow. This kind of rendezvous method is truly..."
Li Yu couldn't help but shake his head and stepped forward to follow. Andrei and Sinclair followed behind him.
This person walked and stopped, occasionally looking back at the two, seemingly afraid that they would lose track.
The group walked through streets and alleys, and quickly arrived at a slightly aged Spaceport Terminal.
The guide opened a Hangar. Inside was an unremarkable, general-purpose Spaceship.
He then opened the Blast Door and looked back intently at the two, seemingly inviting them to board the ship.
Seeing this, Li Yu scanned the Spaceship and found no abnormalities. Thus, he stepped onto the gangway and walked into the Spaceship.
Quickly, the hull of the ship began to vibrate slightly, slid onto the launch track, and rapidly ascended and took off.
The planet outside the porthole also continuously shrank in their field of vision.
Li Yu withdrew his gaze and looked back at the silent guide beside him.
And the guide adjusted his clothes and slowly said:
"Your Excellency Dragon Sovereign, let me introduce myself. I am Giovanni of the Anti-King Organization. The Leader sent me to receive you."
Li Yu nodded, not surprised at all, and said: "You people are truly cautious, using such a roundabout method."
"We have no choice, we must be cautious." He shook his head.
The Spaceship sailed for about ten days and finally arrived at the Destination.
This was a giant Mothership with the volume of an asteroid, maintaining a state of concealment while wandering In Space.
Swish—
The Blast Door opened. The three stepped onto the Mothership and followed Giovanni forward.
Passing through various areas, the two saw a large number of Staff Members and guards. The entire Mothership was heavily guarded.
The group passed through multiple Authority authentications, going deeper and deeper into the Core Region of the Mothership, and quickly arrived in front of a giant metal door.
"The Leader is right inside. The ones he wants to see are the two of you, so I won't go in."
Giovanni stopped in his tracks and added: "Sinclair, please come with me."
Sinclair nodded. She couldn't help but glance at Li Yu a few times before slowly leaving with the other party.
Obviously, the other party wanted to inquire about some information regarding Li Yu from Sinclair's mouth.
Li Yu then stepped forward, with Andrei following closely behind. The metal door opened automatically, allowing the two to walk in.
As soon as they entered, the door closed behind them.
Li Yu glanced at the layout in the room. Tubes extended from the Ground and walls, connecting to a figure in the center of the room.
This guy was tall, but his figure was very hunched. Tubes were inserted all over his body. At the same time, there were some bulging pustules on the surface of his body, making him look somewhat disgusting.
Li Yu went straight to sit on a Seat, while Andrei calmly stood behind him.
Seeing the two, this person slowly spoke. His voice was heavy and sticky, sounding extremely hoarse: "Your Excellency Dragon Sovereign, I heard you have a deal to discuss with me."
The other party's attitude was very direct, getting straight to the point.
However, Li Yu looked the other party up and down, and suddenly realized: "So you are also a Clone Body of the Three Kings. No wonder you could become a Super Lifeform, and furthermore, haven't been targeted on a large scale by the Three Kings."
"You..." Hearing this, the tone of this "Eternal King" fluctuated slightly as he asked: "You've met the Three Kings?"
"Once, by chance." Li Yu said casually.
The Eternal King said in a deep voice: "I don't have any impression of you, and among the active Three Kings-level lifeforms in this Universe, there is no title of yours either."
Of course Li Yu had never met the Three Kings, but Hashar had.
Through Hashar's data, he found that the appearance characteristics of the person before him were extremely similar to the Three Kings, just relatively ugly.
The appearance of the Three Kings was flawless; based on the Aesthetics of their own civilization, it was close to perfection.
The Eternal King was also scrutinizing this so-called Dragon Sovereign. Existences at this level were limited in number; it was difficult for one to Suddenly Appear.
But from the moment they met, he had conducted various levels of analysis on this Dragon Sovereign, yet obtained no useful information.
The other party's designation of "Three Kings-level" was also very unique; it was known that no civilization used the title "Super Lifeform".
Li Yu didn't answer this question, but changed the subject: "No need to overly investigate my origins. Your target is the Three Kings, right? I'll help you deal with them."
"Why?" The Eternal King asked in return.
"They are devouring Source Matter, and I'm very curious about how they carry out the devouring."
"Is that all?" The other party didn't quite believe it. After all, just for such a small matter, he was going to go against three "Super Lifeforms"?
"Let's put it this way, I've tried devouring it myself, but the speed was too slow. So I want to know if they have any method to accelerate it." Li Yu added.
"A method to accelerate it..." The Eternal King pondered for a moment, and suddenly said: "You are also of the Source-Material Faction?"
This time, Li Yu was stunned. The so-called Source-Material Faction was the collective term for Super Lifeforms who believed that accommodating Source Matter was the correct Path of Evolution.
"You could say that." Li Yu nodded.
Only then did the Eternal King say: "You thought correctly, they indeed have a method to accelerate it. The Three-Element Fusion Device can substantially vitalize the Source Matter, thereby making it easier for lifeforms to Absorb."
"Three-Element Fusion." Li Yu was thoughtful.
Subsequently, the Eternal King added: "However, this instrument is specially built for the Three Kings. Because the Three Kings are essentially one entity, others would likely find it very difficult to use."
Very difficult to use?
Li Yu was Noncommittal. The inlay slots of the [Symbiotic Colonization Armor] could solve all problems.
