"Beep, beep, beep..."

The Eternal King, wearing Special Armor, looked at the prompt sound popping up on the interface.

That secret base had been offline for half an hour. It had probably already been torn to shreds by the furious "Past" and "Future."

"Operation, begin!" His eyes flickered as he suddenly issued an order in the channel.

In the next moment, centering on the handover point, a resplendent ring suddenly exploded out to a radius of tens of thousands of kilometers. This was a Trap laid in ambush in advance.

Then, a peculiar fluctuation emanated, suddenly enveloping the entire region.

"Space-Time Locking Trap, mixed with Information State Solidification, and... Communication Blockade. The handiwork of the Eternal Civilization." General Assad didn't show any panic. He rubbed his fingers in the Void and had already perceived the origin of the Trap.

A Trap that could evade the perception of a Super Lifeform had to be appended with an Information State cover. Otherwise, in front of a Super Lifeform, it would be no different from swaggering around openly.

And things of this level were extremely expensive to manufacture, and only a few civilizations had the capability to produce them.

"Provided the enemies don't include us as attack targets."

"I understand." Present nodded, looking around, a strange luster in his eyes.

As soon as his voice fell, dense points of light surfaced in the surrounding Void, crisscrossing and shooting out a massive amount of dense light rays. This triggered a certain fluctuation within the Trap, forming a large-scale distortion storm.

Bang bang bang bang bang!!

In an instant, endless Energy instantly drowned Present's figure.

A dazzling sphere of light instantly expanded, occupying everyone's line of sight.

Immediately after, the Energy Sphere in the field suddenly exploded, bursting forth a terrifying Shockwave.

Boom!

The surrounding Three Kings Civilization Fleet was all blown away, instantly clearing out a large blank area.

And General Assad waved away the Residual Energy of the attack in front of his eyes. Although he was caught in the attack, he was not angry.

Because he hadn't been locked on as an attack target; this was merely the irregular spread of the attack's Residual Energy.

If this was also considered an attack, it would seem too far-fetched.

The Residual Energy dissipated. In the center of the explosion, Present's figure stood tall In Space, surrounded by a crystal-clear Prismatic Radiance that blocked all attacks, unharmed.

"Information-State Eradication. We haven't met in a long time, and you gave me such a great gift as soon as we met."

Present's gaze was fixed in a certain direction. There, the Eternal King, wearing black Armor, slowly emerged.

Behind the Armor visor, the Eternal King's face was gloomy, somewhat surprised.

Because in this attack, the other party actually didn't suffer the slightest damage.

This was a Weapon purchased from the Eternal Civilization. Although it was difficult to cause lethal damage to a Super Lifeform.

But under hasty circumstances, it could more or less cause some damage.

However, the other party could easily deal with it, which made him feel something was wrong.

It was just that The Arrow is on the Bowstring. Under these current circumstances, retreating was obviously impossible.

"Can I leave here?" General Assad asked in a flat tone.

"Suit yourself. As long as you don't help him, you are free to leave." The Eternal King naturally had no interest in Provoking Trouble with Assad.

"Truly Meticulously Planned..." Present stared at the Eternal King: "Heng, you and I haven't seen each other for hundreds of years, right?"

"The Variant Body fluctuation was also created by you, right? Luring the other two away from me, you wanted to ambush me. Aren't you thinking a bit too simply?"

"Tsk, it seems a little off..." Li Yu pondered secretly. Originally, his position was quite close to the battlefield, but now he began to retreat.

The other party had obviously seen through the Eternal King's plan, yet still chose to follow the other party's plan. This was clearly wrong.

Under these circumstances where he Can't Figure Out things temporarily, it was better to retreat a little.

"So what if I am?"

The Eternal King suddenly erupted with a powerful Aura, like a stellar explosion, blotting out the sky and covering the sun. Then, golden-red flames burst forth all over his body, turning him into a meteor charging forward to crash into Present.

Bang!

His fist hit squarely on the chest. Bright light flashed in the Eternal King's eyes; he hadn't expected "Present" to actually not dodge.

Majestic Energy was injected, pouring into "Present's" body along the fist, turning into a concussive force that explosively detonated.

The Eternal King's combat experience was extremely rich; he wouldn't let go of this fighting opportunity.

In an instant, he chose the attack method with the most powerful explosive force, preparing to deal the other party a ruthless blow.

However, just as he prepared to start, a large slap smacked onto his outer Armor, directly breaking through all defenses and solidly colliding with his cheek.

Smack!!

This slap was heavy and powerful. The Eternal King's eyes bulged, his head buzzed from being smacked, and he seemed to hear the sound of his own facial bones cracking in his ears.

Before he could recover from the momentary dizziness, a storm-like barrage of close-combat strikes suddenly hit him.

Every second, countless heavy blows landed on his body, shattering layer after layer of protective Energy Barriers, causing his muscles to ripple in circles, continuously leaving depressions. Severe pain swept over every nerve again and again like a tide.

The Eternal King instinctively raised his hands to parry, protecting his vital points, his head still a bit dazed.

"Present's" Strength exceeded imagination, directly blasting him into a near-concussion.

After being chased and beaten by "Present" for several seconds, the Eternal King finally found a flaw.

"Don't think about running!"

The Eternal King spat out a mouthful of bloody saliva. His muscles suddenly bulged, his body size expanding by a circle, and his power surging. However, before he was ready to exert force, he was blasted away by a punch.

The Void behind him twisted as a result. The majestic power made it very difficult for him to resist.

"Is this all you have? Heng, you've disappointed me too much!"

"Present" shouted loudly, crossing his arms and looking down at the Eternal King.

The Eternal King was astonished inwardly, unable to help but say: "How could your Strength be this strong!?"

"Hehe... you looked down on us too much, Heng." His tone was cold: "Did you really think you could inquire about this kind of classified information?"

"Present" held the Safe Deposit Box and opened it directly in front of the Eternal King's face.

However, it was completely empty inside; there was nothing at all.

This was an Empty Shell!?

The Eternal King's pupils shrank. This was something he hadn't anticipated at all.

"The real Source Matter completed handover as early as three years ago. This time is nothing more than a Trap. It was just a play I had the Iron-Blood Civilization act out!"

"Present" looked down at the Eternal King.

The Eternal King said in a deep voice: "How could the Iron-Blood Civilization possibly agree to act in this play with you?"

"Nothing is impossible, as long as the corresponding appearance fee is paid."

"We have been looking for you for a long time, and several times you managed to escape. This time, I devoured three streaks of Source Matter, ensuring absolutely nothing can go wrong. It is truly an excellent opportunity."

Essentially, both sides could roughly guess each other's plans. After all, having been enemies for so long, they definitely had some understanding of each other.

Fighting to the end, it was nothing more than a comparison of whose Strength was stronger, who could decide the battle situation.

The Eternal King perhaps anticipated that the other party highly likely had a trump card left, but he completely didn't expect that this was an out-and-out scam.

"Did you think I didn't have a backup plan!?" The Eternal King's tone suddenly sank, his Mental Fluctuation sweeping across the field: "Dragon Sovereign!"

This made "Present's" eyes narrow slightly, vigilantly scanning his surroundings.

However, after the Eternal King's majestic shout, the entire Starry Sky seemed unusually silent. No enemies or Traps appeared.

"Dragon Sovereign?"

He repeated this name. There was absolutely no memory in his mind, and it didn't belong to any title of a lifeform at his level.

Including General Assad, who was also somewhat puzzled. He was sitting in the VIP spectator seats, just intending to watch the show. Why did this guy seem to have Fizzled Out?

The Eternal King was stunned, his expression changing. Only then did he understand: that guy named Dragon Sovereign had run away.

Motherfucker,as expected, I shouldn't have trusted him easily.

"If I go out to risk my life for you now, I'd have a screw loose. Don't tell me I'm your only backup plan."

Li Yu watched from afar, having absolutely no intention of making a move.

That "Present" had stayed ahead of the Eternal King in every aspect.

But the Eternal King probably wasn't Not to be Trifled With either; it was impossible for him not to have a backup plan.

"Heng, where's your backup plan? I'm waiting."

"Present" seemed to have also understood, staring at the Eternal King with interest.

"My backup plan?" The Eternal King's expression was gloomy. He was already angry due to the failure of the plan. Now realizing that the Dragon Sovereign had fled before the battle, his anger surged even more.

However, the appearance of the Dragon Sovereign was an accident to begin with. His backup plan for dealing with unexpected situations was naturally not limited to just the Dragon Sovereign.

The Armor on the surface of his body disintegrated, revealing a hideous Corporeal Form. Those pustules all over his body made it very difficult for people to believe this was a Super Lifeform.

However, those pustules were fluctuating at different frequencies and quickly burst. A pale yellow liquid flowed along the Eternal King's body, and accompanying it was his continuously climbing Aura.

The Eternal King's Aura could almost Shake the Universe, and various bizarre and motley scenes emerged around him:

"You all think I am a failed product, but in essence, we are the most successful Clone Body. It's just that the frail body couldn't withstand that kind of power!"

Boom!

He charged up once again, and this time, "Present" didn't dare to take him lightly.

His expression was solemn as resplendent crystals surfaced around his body, refracting light, but even they found it difficult to resist the Eternal King's Impact.

The Eternal King simultaneously emitted a Mental Fluctuation: "General Assad, are you interested in helping me? If we kill him, then you can recover three streaks of Source Matter."

"Interesting." General Assad watched the scene unfold before him.

Under normal circumstances, he wouldn't intervene unless an abnormal situation occurred.

But now was not the time, so facing the Eternal King's invitation, he still chose to Stand Idly By.

However, someone muttered secretly in the dark: "It can actually be recovered? You should't have said so earlier!"

Bang!

A majestic Shockwave burst forth, and this time it was "Present" who flew backward.

But he didn't show much surprise, saying: "I guessed correctly. As expected, you are the one closest to the Variant Body."

"What a pity. This state probably won't last long, will it?"

He understood the Eternal King very well. Up until now, apart from that "Dragon Sovereign," everything was still within his control.

Until the next moment...

His expression suddenly changed drastically, and he abruptly looked in another direction. He saw a sharp radiance suddenly appear and chop towards him. The power contained within it made it difficult for even him to ignore.

"Another Three Kings-level!?"

Crystal barriers surfaced in front of him one after another, but they shattered layer by layer. The other party had already arrived right before his eyes.

"Freeze!"

He brought his hands together, and the surrounding space-time began to rapidly congeal and compress at an extremely fast speed, forming a Space-Time Shield.

It could be clearly seen that the sharp light gradually stagnated. It was actually an axe that looked very ancient, its surface covered in many tiny fissures, seemingly severely damaged, but its might was still not to be underestimated.

More importantly, he felt a familiar Aura from it. It was Source Matter!

"This kind of Weapon..." He was slightly stunned inwardly, and then he saw a fist striking from the side.

Bang!

The fist solidly smashed into his face. The terrifying power it carried made it almost impossible for him to resist. His skin and flesh suddenly burst open, leaving only a skeletal frame.

"You have such bad luck, the Amplification almost reached 300%."

While Li Yu spoke, his movements didn't stop, launching attacks one after another.

He directly activated the [Bloodsoaked War] state, and even used the newly obtained [Morphological Burst]. Every strike would receive a random Amplification.

However, "Present" had already noticed a bizarre phenomenon.

The other party's attack intensity was sometimes very strong, and sometimes it dropped quite a bit.

When it was strong, it made him feel threatened as well, which was very strange, but when it was weak, it was just so-so.

"Dragon Sovereign..." The Eternal King was somewhat astonished. He hadn't expected the Dragon Sovereign to suddenly charge out midway and catch the other party Caught off guard.

He had thought the other party had feared "Present's" Strength just now and had already left this place.

"You are the Dragon Sovereign?"

"Present" could still afford to be distracted during the battle, which was enough to prove that the threat Li Yu posed to him was essentially limited.

"You seem to be very proficient in devouring Source Matter?" Li Yu asked likewise.

Energy intertwined, causing this Star Sector to present a peculiar fractured state, with colors and heat constantly flashing.

"This Weapon..." General Assad seemed to have discovered something, staring intently at this suddenly appearing "Dragon Sovereign."

The Eternal King didn't just watch either, directly charging up while secretly communicating with Li Yu, saying:

"End the battle quickly, I cannot sustain this form for long."

Li Yu: "..."

End the battle quickly my ass."Present's" Strength had probably already surpassed the Initial Tier standard established by the Eternal Civilization.

Although the two of them joined forces, coupled with Li Yu's auxiliary methods, trying to take down "Present" in a short period of time was obviously unrealistic.

He could only use some other methods.
