Chapter 846: The Big One is Coming!

On the other side, the accompanying Mechanical Lords fell completely silent upon seeing this scene, their eyes flashing with shock and uncertainty.

As Mechanical Lords, they knew what information this seemingly suspense-less battle contained, and only felt a chill run down their spines.

The opponent's Strength tier had completely surpassed Kuzan; it was simply a crushing defeat!

"The gap is actually this huge?!"

A certain Mechanical Lord said in disbelief.

Theoretically, they had made ample preparations.

Restricting the [Eternal Core] and preventing the use of the Eternal Machine God had already crippled more than half of the opponent's Strength.

Whether it was the information Ultimate Intelligence obtained from Hashar, or the data acquired from the Three Kings Civilization.

This guy's Strength fundamentally shouldn't have been at this tier.

He didn't even break the defense!

Just how strong was this guy?

"This is going to be difficult to handle now." A certain Mechanical Lord had a stern expression, looking around at the Super Primal King Kongs.

They were Covetously Staring, yet hadn't truly entered the battlefield, not knowing what they were waiting for.

Just at this moment, Kuzan flew back. Because he was truly afraid the opponent would grind his Mechanical Body into dust, he directly ran away upon seeing the situation turn bad.

His injuries, however, were very light. Li Yu had been dragging out the time and hadn't counterattacked, merely defending.

The numerous Mechanical Lords scanned Kuzan, their emotions complex.

They clearly remembered how confident Kuzan looked when he arrived.

...

"...He wasn't this powerful before." Assad spoke solemnly. "But in this short period of time, how could his Strength have advanced by leaps and bounds so drastically!?"

Barossa's mood had improved quite a bit, even though he was defeated head-on.

But he felt that if he had gone all out and couldn't even break the defense, only to retreat dejectedly, that kind of scene would have caused him to break down even more.

"How about we take this opportunity to retreat first?" Barossa whispered.

Assad shot Barossa a surprised glance. Was this still that Reckless Brute?

Did he get beaten into changing his ways?

"It shouldn't end this simply." Assad shook his head. Since the Eternal Civilization placed so much importance on this matter, it was impossible for them not to have a backup plan.

Beep——

Taras's encrypted communication rang out secretly. The small face of the Head of State of the Iron-Blood Civilization, Drogheda, appeared on the screen.

His current location was far away from the main battlefield, so he wasn't affected by the communication jamming.

"What's going on? Why did the Farotte Starbase lose contact?" Drogheda inquired.

"The Eternal Civilization didn't wait at the designated location but appeared at the Farotte Starbase. They seemed somewhat Impatient," Taras reported.

"They crossed the border?" Drogheda asked in return, not showing anger at this, but pondering: "It seems they are far more anxious than I imagined, and attach unusual importance to this Dragon Sovereign."

"How is it? Did you see anything? Why do they value this guy?"

"Uh..." Taras paused and shook his head: "Not yet."

"Additionally, Your Excellency the Head of State, I suggest sending more people over. I'm afraid today's matter won't be easily concluded."

"Oh?" Drogheda frowned and asked: "What happened?"

Taras said: "This Dragon Sovereign's Strength exceeds the scope of the data. He crushed Barossa, and the Mechanical Lord Kuzan couldn't even break his defense."

"Oh?" Drogheda was stunned for a moment, not caring about why Barossa managed to fight the Dragon Sovereign, and merely asked: "Without relying on those Mechanical Lifeforms?"

"No, single-entity crushing. And looking at him, he seems to still have a lot of strength to spare," Taras nodded and said.

"He indeed hid himself very deeply..." Drogheda's eyes flickered. Not choosing to make a move in their own headquarters was indeed a rather wise decision.

"I'll send people over as soon as possible." Drogheda hung up the communication, accepting Taras's suggestion.

Taras's eyes were profound. This wasn't his first time dealing with the Eternal Civilization either.

He knew that big ball of light definitely wouldn't just send this few people over.

Or rather, these people were originally meant to deal with the Dragon Sovereign.

And the Mechanical Lords sent over to prevent the Iron-Blood Civilization from tearing up the agreement were still hidden in the dark.

But now, this group of Mechanical Lords under Kuzan obviously couldn't handle the Dragon Sovereign.

Then the Mechanical Lords hidden in the dark would be forced to reveal themselves early.

The Iron-Blood Civilization had the idea of letting The Old Fisherman Profits, but the current situation was somewhat confusing and complicated.

That was why he asked the Head of State to send more people over to deal with some unexpected situations.

Meanwhile, the Mechanical Lord—Levick was communicating with Ultimate Intelligence.

The communication jamming devices were set up by them, so they naturally had ways to communicate.

"...Yes, his Strength exceeds the estimation. Preliminary estimates indicate that his single-entity combat power has approached the Mid-Tier scale, and Kuzan couldn't even break his defense."

The miniature ball of light rippled and undulated: "An error occurred in the Strength estimation..."

"Activate the backup plan. Levick, you will directly capture him. With your combat power, there shouldn't be any problems."

"Yes, Ultimate Intelligence." Levick nodded, while also adding: "But once I make a move, then there will be no one to deal with anyone who might appear from the Iron-Blood Civilization."

"Retrieving the Eternal Core is the priority. I will mobilize nearby fleets to go over and provide support, but this will arouse the suspicion of other civilizations," Ultimate Intelligence said.

"Therefore, your speed must be fast."

"Understood." Levick nodded. His metallic cape fluttered without wind, and he had already locked onto Li Yu in the field.

...

Outside the Iron-Blood Civilization, a massive Eternal Fleet hovered In the starry expanse, containing not only countless conventional fleets.

There were also mechanical behemoths comparable to planets, each one a killing machine capable of sweeping the battlefield.

Not far away was the Iron-Blood Civilization's fleet. They were in the process of confronting each other, with some small Spaceships closely monitoring their movements from all around.

The Commander of the mechanical fleet stood in the Command Center and ordered: "Emergency transfer order, proceed to the new coordinate location!"

The command was quickly issued. The entire fleet set sail, like a metal azure dragon spanning across the Universe, rapidly entering a Jump State and advancing towards the coordinate location.

The Iron-Blood fleet confronting them was somewhat dumbfounded, not knowing why their opponent suddenly left here.

But looking at their direction of advancement, it didn't seem like a retreat either.

"Quick, follow them!"

Before long, orders from above were issued, and this fleet also quickly entered a Jump State and followed.

This left the probe Spaceships sent by the Major Civilizations puzzled.

Why aren't you guys confronting each other anymore?

Has the matter already been resolved?

Before the High Echelons of the Major Civilizations could delve into optimistic thoughts.

They suddenly discovered that this wasn't an isolated phenomenon.

Eternal Fleets at multiple standoff points had received unknown orders and began advancing toward new locations.

At the same time, the Iron-Blood fleets also made a series of mobilizations.

This phenomenon looked as if the two were engaged in an invisible, secret game of chess.

Such temporary, large-scale mobilizations were difficult to hide from the Major Civilizations.

...

At the Zero Civilization General Command, various high-ranking Commanders were looking at the differently colored streaks of Flowing Light on the holographic projection.

Through cross-comparing their navigation trajectories, they could roughly estimate an expected area.

"The Eternal Civilization and the Iron-Blood Civilization are simultaneously mobilizing large numbers of fleets toward this region. This place is located within Ironblood Civilization Territory; something unusual must have happened..."

"That's right. No matter what it is, we should send people to take a look."

"Perhaps it's related to the Dragon Sovereign that The Prophet was paying attention to before."

The numerous Commanders discussed for a moment, and then issued the order—

To dispatch a portion of the fleet to also head toward this region, find out exactly what happened, and report back to The Prophet at the same time.

The other two civilizations had similar reactions.

And the Major Civilizations, who had been constantly paying attention to the situation, were also somewhat puzzled.

They simultaneously issued orders to their frontline spies, telling those closest to arrive at the target location as quickly as possible to gather first-hand intelligence.

...

Tsk... It looks like this group of Mechanical Lords is already bewildered. Their estimation of my Strength seems to be very low.

Li Yu looked at the Mechanical Lords who were On high alert and guessed secretly.

However, he didn't think today's matter would end here.

That big ball of light, Ultimate Intelligence, couldn't be underestimated. Preparing several plans simultaneously at the start of an operation to deal with unexpected changes was definitely standard procedure.

He thought about it. Since he wasn't in a hurry anyway, [Sanguine Fight] had been continuously active, and his Strength was slowly increasing.

But there was one hidden danger that needed to be eliminated in advance.

His pupils turned scarlet, and several Light Beams shot out one after another, like streaks of red lightning tearing through the Universe.

Barossa couldn't help but shiver all over, as if he had thought of something bad.

Although the Mechanical Lords hadn't seen the scene where Li Yu glared Barossa "to death".

Their Combat Systems had already started blaring warning sirens, and they successively activated defensive equipment to cope with the Energy Impact.

And right at this moment, a dark golden figure abruptly intruded into the battlefield. His speed was incredibly fast, making consecutive jumps in several places, and wherever he passed, the Red Light Beams vanished.

Ultimately, he came to a standstill not far from Li Yu. This was a Mechanical Lord who looked very plain and elegant, with no exaggerated styling or decorations on the surface.

He was about two meters tall, with a humanoid structure, wearing a metal mask. On his face, there was only a black vortex, and a dark golden metallic cape enveloped more than half of his body.

He raised his black-gold arm. Condensed in his palm was a mass of red Energy, constantly jumping as if wanting to break free from his bindings, but it was powerless to do so.

These were basically all the Red Light Beams that Li Yu had shot out.

"Peculiar Energy, unable to be analyzed." Levick made a sound, and the black vortex on his face devoured the mass of red Energy entirely.

"This is a... big shot." Li Yu's eyes flickered, his expression solemn. He had already felt an unprecedented sense of oppression and threat from the other party.

Bang!

Not far away, the red Residual Energy exploded. A Mechanical Lord flew out of it miserably. The surface of his mechanical body was already covered with scorch marks, though he could generally still move.

"How can he endure better than me!?" Barossa's eyes bulged out, and he said in astonishment.

Just now, when he forcefully resisted this kind of red ray, he was almost killed.

Yet this Mechanical Lord actually looked like he had no major problems.

If the other party were Kuzan, he could still understand, but this Mechanical Lord's combat power obviously hadn't reached his level.

"The target wasn't him; it was that kind of machine." Assad discovered where the problem lay.

Li Yu's attack target wasn't this Mechanical Lord, but the Prismatic Metal Object in their hands.

That was why this Mechanical Lord didn't suffer too much damage.

"What is that thing?"

With Assad's experience, he had never seen the Eternal Civilization use a similar device before.

After all, that was used to counterbalance the [Eternal Core]. When the Eternal Civilization was fighting enemies normally, they naturally wouldn't have any use for this kind of equipment.

With one of the devices damaged, the [Core Magnetization] in Li Yu's status bar also gradually disappeared.

"To think one actually slipped through..." Levick withdrew his gaze.

What he cared about now was another matter: "You know what that device is used for?"

The Core Magnetization device was specifically used to deal with the Eternal Core.

Under normal circumstances, the Eternal Civilization fundamentally wouldn't use it, and there was no intelligence about it in the outside world either.

Even some Mechanical Lords didn't know their own faction had this kind of thing.

This was something Ultimate Intelligence tinkered out of boredom.

Yet the other party had highly targeted and destroyed the Core Magnetization device.

To say he didn't know what this was used for was obviously unlikely.

But where did the other party get the intelligence from?

Li Yu breathed a slight sigh of relief. Fortunately, his long-range attacks had tracking; otherwise, if he couldn't use the [Eternal Core], he really wouldn't be confident in dealing with the current situation.

"Forget it, capturing you and bringing you back will let us know what's going on." Levick didn't hesitate, and his figure directly vanished from where he stood.

Bang!

The Thunder barrier in front of Li Yu directly exploded, having barely resisted for a moment.

The surging Energy sent his entire person flying backward.

And right at this instant, the Primordial King Kongs not far away flocked toward Li Yu, quickly combining.

The Eternal Machine God descends once again!

Levick, who was preparing to pursue, paused. Although he had known this news for a long time, seeing this familiar scene before his eyes still made him somewhat surprised.

However, the Eternal Machine God combined from eight Normal Mechanical Lords wasn't enough to catch his eye in terms of combat power.

But this thought had barely flashed by.

When he saw streaks of Golden Radiance suddenly explode and rapidly spread across the surface of the Eternal Machine God, causing subtle changes to its outward appearance, making it seem even more exquisite and powerful.

Levick was stunned internally.The Eternal Machine God has this kind of transformation effect?

How did I not know?

(End of Chapter)

Chapter 847: Stalemate

In just the blink of an eye, the multi-colored Eternal Machine God completely transformed.

Because the Super Primal King Kongs came in all sorts of colors, the exterior colors of the fused Eternal Machine God were also very mixed.

But now it was entirely different. The overall color approached pure white, and even more faint golden patterns extended from the gaps in the mechanical structure, crawling all over its body like vines.

Moreover, inexplicable changes occurred in some minute details, making the entire mechanical body look more harmonious, as if it were a single entity.

And during this process of transformation, the Energy Fluctuation emitted by the Eternal Machine God was also continuously Embellishing, forcing the Mechanical Lords present to constantly monitor the detection results from their Combat Systems.

But this was only the beginning. Wisps of Aura, as bright as blood, subsequently surged out, coiling around the mechanical body.

The Eternal Machine God acted like an amplifier, instantly expanding these bloody Auras, as if a river of blood was lingering around him.

At the same time, Energy Electric Arcs constantly burst forth all around, and the overall fluctuation expanded unceasingly, seemingly without limit.

The Mechanical Lords looked at this scene in astonishment, only feeling a faint oppressive pressure sweeping over them.

"What's going on here? Why doesn't our Eternal Machine God have this kind of transformation?" Kuzan couldn't help but say.

The Eternal Core was undeniably a powerful Weapon. It could fuse multiple Mechanical Lords, thereby erupting with even more powerful combat power.

Even a Mechanical Lifeform of Levick's tier could serve as fusion material.

The Eternal Machine God born after the fusion integrated the combat power of all the Mechanical Lifeforms. Becoming one, its combat power would definitely soar.

But it couldn't possibly be like this, continuously rising as if it had no limit.

"I've never seen it either. Could it be an advanced variant ability of the Eternal God?" A certain Mechanical Lord was also dumbfounded. He searched his Database but found absolutely nothing.

On the other side, Taras's eyes also widened, inwardly astonished.

"The Eternal Machine God! It turns out to be the Eternal Machine God! We thought this was his own ability, but to think it's actually the Eternal Civilization's Eternal Machine God."

"This means he has the Eternal Core on him!"

Taras's eyes lit up greatly. No wonder the Eternal Civilization cared so much about him; it turned out it was because of the Eternal Core.

But the Eternal Core was an absolute secret of the Eternal Civilization. How could this guy obtain it?

He temporarily couldn't get an answer to this question, but one thing had already been verified—Your Excellency the Head of State indeed guessed right!

As one of the supreme technological crystallizations of the Eternal Civilization, there was no civilization that didn't feel curious and covetous of the [Eternal Core].

If they could obtain the [Eternal Core] and thoroughly research it, it wouldn't just be a major blow to the Eternal Civilization, but an even more massive enhancement for themselves.

A scenario like this, where they could simultaneously strike their enemies and elevate themselves, was what these civilizations loved the most.

And Levick, being the most direct experiencer, was currently also very confused.

He was one of the most powerful surviving Mechanical Lords of the Eternal Civilization, and had served as the main fusion body for the [Eternal Core] multiple times, piloting the Eternal Machine God.

It could be said that he understood the Eternal Machine God extremely well.

The Eternal Machine God could mobilize all the Weapons and Energy of the fused bodies, but it couldn't create them out of thin air.

On the Eternal Machine God, one might achieve the result of 1+1 equaling 3, but absolutely never 1+1 equaling 10.

But now, this kind of situation had happened out of thin air.

Just as the numerous onlookers were shocked, they saw the space tremble.

A circle of Energy Rings suddenly exploded where the Eternal Machine God was standing.

The massive body shockingly vanished from its original spot. Trailing a string of distorted velocity channels, it had already charged right in front of Levick.

A gigantic axe had appeared in its hands at some unknown time. The entirety of it was wrapped in a mechanical structure, but the axe blade was the most primal metal.

The surface was shrouded in purple Energy, as if tearing through the pitch-black curtain of the Universe, instantly cleaving right before Levick's eyes!

In the nick of time, the black vortex on Levick's head abruptly shot out terrifying Energy, colliding with the attack.

Bang!!

In the next moment, a ring-shaped Shockwave abruptly burst outward from the point of collision!

Levick's figure was shot backward like a cannonball, like a fleeting beam of light, instantly tearing through large swathes of field waves, leaving behind a string of bizarre, distorted scenes.

Meeting face-to-face once again, the outcome was completely different; Levick was directly sent flying!

The numerous Mechanical Lords reacted in an instant. Not having time to be shocked, they immediately stepped forward, ready to provide support at any moment.

"I'm fine."

Levick's figure came to a halt. Although he didn't seem to have suffered any damage on the surface, his inner emotions were churning unceasingly.

This level of Strength was still very difficult to injure him, but the other party's leap in Strength shocked him greatly.

"How on earth did you do it!?" he couldn't help but ask.

"To actually be able to bring the Eternal Machine God to such a stage?"

"Tell me, and I can guarantee that Ultimate Intelligence will not treat you unfairly!"

Levick was moved. Eight Mechanical Lords... this was merely an Eternal Machine God fused from eight Mechanical Lords, yet it could erupt with this tier of combat power.

What if there were more!?

The Eternal Civilization's hope of conquering the Universe was right before their eyes!

Levick further added: "The Eternal Civilization never lies, nor do we tear up any promises. Return with us, and you will enjoy the same level of treatment as me!"

Kuzan and the other Mechanical Lords were stunned.

Wait... how did capture suddenly turn into recruitment?

However, Levick's Authority was higher than theirs, so they couldn't say anything.

"Did he just send Levick flying?" Barossa swallowed hard, looking at Assad, whose expression was solemn, beside him.

"You saw it yourself, so why ask?" Assad said grumpily, while feeling a sense of relief inwardly:

Fortunately, they didn't attack him in the civilization's core, otherwise, there was no telling how much loss they would have suffered.

The Strength Li Yu was displaying now completely exceeded their imagination; they couldn't help but be shocked.

Every Dominator-tier lifeform was not to be underestimated.

It was just that most lifeforms of this tier had a complete growth trajectory.

They rose to prominence within their own civilization's Territory, were then discovered by the High Echelon, and subsequently went through layers of selection while receiving massive amounts of resources.

Then, after experiencing a long period of growth, they finally evolved into a lifeform of this tier.

Throughout this series of processes, they would also engage in external combat and temper themselves.

Therefore, their growth experiences, personalities, areas of combat expertise, and even weaknesses would be collected and analyzed clearly.

Under this premise, the threat level of powerful, top-tier cosmic lifeforms was greatly weakened.

Just like Barossa. If he were sent to lead troops alone, without any supporting Think Tank, and encountered a civilization like the Eternal Civilization that excelled in data models, he would be played like a fiddle.

The reason the Iron-Blood Civilization was apprehensive of Li Yu was precisely because he was a completely unfamiliar individual, and no one knew what kind of trump cards he held.

Looking back now, Head of State Drogheda's cautious decision at the time was incredibly wise.

On the battlefield, hearing Levick's words, Li Yu couldn't help but sigh, saying: "Actually, I really don't want to make enemies of you guys. After all, you are so powerful."

Hearing these words, Levick couldn't help but express his agreement.

The Eternal Civilization's Illustrious reputation was no joke. But Li Yu hadn't finished speaking.

"But the problem is, I don't have a choice either," Li Yu said with some helplessness.

"Why?" Levick was somewhat puzzled: "Is someone forcing you to make enemies of us?"

Instantly, the suspicious targets of several Major Civilizations flashed through his mind.

"That's not it..." Li Yu shook his head and asked: "May I ask, after returning to the Eternal Civilization with you, what do I need to pay?"

"You only need to hand over the Eternal Core, and then provide the Technology you just used to enhance the Eternal Machine God," Levick said, then added:

"This is not without reward. As I just said, you can enjoy the same treatment as me, or even higher."

"It's always better than holding onto the Eternal Core now, only to be hunted down across the entire Universe."

Levick guided him patiently and systematically, genuinely wanting to obtain Li Yu's Technology for enhancing the Eternal Machine God.

"So, here lies the problem," Li Yu shook his head and said: "I can't possibly accomplish either of those two things."

Once the [Eternal Core] was taken out of the [Symbiotic Colonization Armor], it would directly disappear.

As for the "Technology" to enhance the Eternal Machine God, it was merely an ability attached to the [Symbiotic Colonization Armor], essentially linking his body with the [Symbiotic Colonization Armor].

It fundamentally couldn't be popularized.

But he had no way to explain these things to the Eternal Civilization.

Levick's cognitive processing paused for a moment.Since you don't want to go back with me, why waste so much time talking?

"Then we can only capture you and take you back, so you can slowly think about this matter." Levick charged at Li Yu once again, his entire body enveloped in a purple-black prismatic Protective Shield.

Although he was sent flying head-on just now, it didn't mean the other party's Strength had already surpassed his.

It was just that he had made an erroneous estimation of the Eternal Machine God's Strength.

"Come help me..." Levick issued an order for the other Mechanical Lords to assist. Their combat intelligence was linked together, their cooperation displaying incomparable Tacit Understanding.

The longer this dragged on now, the more troublesome it would be. He had to capture the opponent as quickly as possible and take him away from here.

In the next moment, the two sides clashed, and the scene instantly evolved into a massive melee.

The Life Energy of the Tree of Life was being extracted in an extremely brutal manner, continuously injected into the Eternal Machine God to support Li Yu's various Strengths.

The current Eternal Machine God was the product of Li Yu using [Legendary Quality] to specifically enhance the [Eternal Core], raising all of its performance specs by a large margin.

Coupled with the buffs of [100% Enhancement] and [Crimson Typhoon], its own combat capabilities had already been significantly elevated compared to before.

Moreover, with the Amplification of Li Yu's abilities like [Sanguine Fight], [Morphological Burst], [Heaven-Law-Earth-Form], as well as the exclusive group battle title [Lone Wolf], its combat power was surging boundlessly.

Previously, these abilities couldn't act on the Eternal Machine God, but now it was completely different!

The Eternal Machine God's combat power now definitely surpassed the Mid-Tier standard, and as time passed, it grew increasingly stronger.

Fortunately, because of [Increase Revenue, Reduce Outgoings] and the consumption reduction attached to [Crimson Typhoon], the speed at which it Devoured the Tree of Life had decreased significantly.

Otherwise, the Tree of Life, which had already been fed several Super Lifeforms, might not necessarily have been able to withstand it.

Levick was absolutely a Mechanical Lord of the High-Tier standard, his Strength belonging to the pinnacle of the Universe. Coupled with the assistance of the other Mechanical Lords, this battlefield was like a vortex, devouring Li Yu.

At the beginning, even though Li Yu's Eternal Machine God had been completely transformed, he still felt a lot of pressure.

But as time passed, he gradually adapted to this pressure. The two sides were fiercely entangled together, inextricably locked in combat.

Moreover, using the [Morphological Burst] ability, every single one of his attacks had varying degrees of Amplification.

For Normal Mechanical Lords, it was basically being injured from a scrape and dying from a bump; they had to deal with it carefully.

And sometimes when his luck exploded and the Amplification effect exceeded 250%, even Levick himself would suffer a hidden loss.

His long-range Weapons weren't idle either, constantly pouring out firepower and wildly shooting after the enemies.

Boom!

Dark matter Chains of astonishing size spanned across the Star Sector, crisscrossing to form a blockade zone. If the Eternal Machine God wanted to move freely in this area, it would need to pay an immense price.

A certain Mechanical Lord activated his own powerful ability, periodically raising his hand to fire densely packed Electromagnetic Cannons. They bombarded the Eternal Machine God's protective force field, exploding into scattered electric sparks.

Although it was difficult to pose a substantial threat, it could also provide some cover for Levick.

The intensity of their attacks didn't decrease at all, but the situation gradually shifted from their initial advantage toward a Stalemate. They fought with both offense and defense, not falling into a passive state.

Li Yu glanced at the battlefield, his thoughts spinning rapidly.

Although the scene was gradually moving in a direction favorable to him, it was primarily because of [Sanguine Fight], which caused his base combat power to grow increasingly stronger.

And after a series of Amplification and magnification effects, his base combat power could receive several times the Buff.

But he wouldn't be able to break this group's siege anytime soon either.

Even though Levick had been beaten into a restrained state by several of his attacks with Amplifications approaching 300%, his Strength was still there; he still wasn't a vase that could be easily shattered.

Although continuing like this is advantageous to me, that's only for this battlefield. Such a huge commotion is unlikely not to attract the attention of others.

Furthermore, there's a scheming bastard from the Iron-Blood Civilization watching secretly in the dark, and the Tree of Life isn't infinite either.

I'll clear out these annoying minor mobs first.

Li Yu decided on his strategic objective. Without another word, he changed his primary target, turning his axe and charging toward a weaker Mechanical Lord.

Seeing this, the other Mechanical Lords hurriedly stepped forward to attack, attempting to block his actions.

Li Yu ignored them, forcefully resisting the opponents' attacks. His mechanical body bathed in the Energy Cannon fire as his axe flipped up and down. Each heavy strike seemed capable of shattering the Star Sector.

Bang!

The massive axe smashed down once again. An attack Amplification of up to 195% abruptly exploded in mid-air like a firework.

A Mechanical Lord was smashed flying. His mechanical body was almost twisted into a pretzel, with sparks flying everywhere. He had obviously lost his combat capability and suffered severe trauma.

Just as Li Yu was about to rush up and deliver the finishing blow, Levick hurriedly stopped him, while the other Mechanical Lords quickly stepped forward to save their comrade.

(End of Chapter)

Chapter 848: Holy Spear of Alnania

Levick held a Mechanical Rotating Blade, which was obviously also specially forged, possessing a Source Matter Aura, and theoretically on the same level as a Titan Artifact.

But due to the gap in forging techniques and auxiliary materials, the disparity with a Titan Artifact was quite significant.

The Mechanical Rotating Blade spun rapidly, centralizing a massive burst of Strength, and instantly parrying Li Yu's axe blade.

Following a swift ripping sound, it tore through the Eternal Machine God's Energy Barrier, and compressed Energy waves shot out, sending metal splattering everywhere.

Just at this moment, Li Yu immediately counterattacked, the Titan Giant Axe chopping down with a backhand strike.

Seeing this, Levick blocked in an instant. A large patch of dazzling Electric Arcs exploded at the point of impact, and the surging force pushed both sides apart for some distance.

On Levick's combat interface, he saw an almost entirely penetrating incision left on the chest of the Eternal Machine God. It was extremely tragic, clearly revealing the mechanical structures within.

However, in the very next moment, the exposed machinery at the wound actually began to wriggle and grow, like flesh and blood, slowly recovering.

Li Yu was now the Eternal Machine God, and the value of [Super Fusion] was not small at all.

The Life Energy of the Tree of Life could now similarly repair mechanical damage, something completely impossible in the past.

"What on earth is going on with this guy's Eternal Machine God?" Levick became even more bewildered.Why does this thing look like a Normal biological lifeform?

Without time to think, he charged forward once again.

And this fight lasted for ten days!

...

The battlefield had relocated multiple times. The other Mechanical Lords present had vanished, leaving only Kuzan to maintain the Amplification of his title.

The surrounding Star Sector had been thoroughly distorted, and the accumulation of spatial fragments formed a Banishment Zone, a special phenomenon.

Power Overload raged. The Starbase had long been smashed to pieces. If Assad hadn't desperately protected the planet below, that planet would have also turned into fragments from the aftershocks long ago.

The Eternal Machine God transformed by Li Yu was still fiercely battling Levick.

The Aura he emitted had already cloaked this Star Sector. The scarlet blood flames swayed unyieldingly, even showing a trend of growing ever more intense.

Watching Li Yu remain as stalwart as ever, and even grow stronger and stronger, Assad and Barossa's initial shock gradually turned into despair, and finally settled into numbness.

What kind of monstrosity is this? The intensity of the Eternal Machine God can actually reach this degree?

Then why hasn't the Eternal Civilization dominated the Universe yet?

Taras had been observing from the shadows the whole time, looking for an opportune moment to strike.

But as the battle progressed, he found the scene gradually turning somewhat amiss.

The prolonged battle had already caused Levick's Energy Core to struggle with keeping up the supply.

But Li Yu's side showed no signs of flagging at all, becoming increasingly ferocious.

Moreover, the current combat power of the Eternal Machine God had reached a level that even made him quite apprehensive.

Even if he struck now, he wouldn't necessarily be able to defeat the Eternal Machine God.

Boom——

The Titan Giant Axe delivered a flurry of chops, shredding Levick's Shield and setting off a series of fireworks in mid-air.

At the same time, Li Yu followed up closely to deliver finishing blows, not giving his opponent the slightest room to relax.

Boom!

A blinding explosion erupted, and Levick was blasted backward from the blast, his injuries worsening once again.

And at the same time, his metallic cape shattered and disintegrated with a cracking sound, exploding into a sky full of fragments. This was his defensive Weapon, which finally couldn't bear the load anymore.

"It seems you won't last much longer."

Li Yu stared at Levick, his mood similarly unpleasant.

The main reason was that the Tree of Life was nearly sucked dry by him. Ten consecutive days of intense battle had drawn far too much Life Energy from it.

This battle was completely meaningless to him, yet he had no choice but to fight.

Levick remained silent, unable to retort.

Because the truth was exactly that. The wear and tear on his mechanical body couldn't be immediately repaired in battle at all. Accumulating over a long period, he was already nearly a Spent Force.

The task assigned by Ultimate Intelligence will probably be very difficult to complete.

Levick pondered secretly. This was an outcome he had hardly anticipated before coming here.

Most of the contingency plans they prepared were to deal with the Iron-Blood Civilization. They completely didn't expect the target to erupt with such powerful combat capabilities.

But having reached this point, there was even less need to dwell on meaningless things.

He said solemnly: "You're right, the direction of this operation completely exceeded our expectations, but I'm afraid it will be very difficult for you to leave here as well."

Around the battlefield, it had long ceased to be just Assad and Barossa.

Massive fleets surrounded the area. While encircling this battlefield, they also formed a standoff against each other.

The mechanical fleet of the Eternal Civilization, the radiant fleet of the Star Spirit Civilization, the fleet of the Iron-Blood Civilization, as well as those of the Pantheon and Civilization Zero, were all present, though their numbers weren't considered large.

Because these were civilization fleets relatively close to this location, and were the first to arrive.

Also arriving at the same time were the spies from the Major Civilizations, who had already been observing here for a while.

A portion of the battle footage had already been transmitted back to the High Echelon.

Those with the biggest reaction to this were the High Echelons of the Ordinary civilizations.

"Where did this fierce person pop out from, to actually be suppressing the 'Eye of Eternity'!?"

In a certain conference room, the High Echelon here all wore dumbfounded expressions.

Eye of Eternity—Levick, a Mechanical Lifeform standing at the pinnacle of the Universe, having trampled upon a massive number of renowned dry bones. His combat power was indisputable.

Yet now, he was being suppressed.

They arrived relatively late and didn't see the earlier scenes where Levick was evenly matched or even slightly held the upper hand.

They could only see the current situation where Levick was being suppressed.

"A guy who snatched the Eternal Core appearing within the Ironblood Civilization Territory, this is definitely not that simple," a portion of the civilization High Echelons speculated.

From some collected Mental Fluctuations and channel information, they had already learned that the gigantic mechanical body currently fighting Levick was the Eternal Machine God.

Originally, the changes in the cosmic situation had already made them very bewildered.

But following the Iron-Blood Civilization's unusual movements and arriving here, they became even more bewildered.

Some far-sighted civilization rulers acutely perceived it.

This powerhouse who suddenly jumped out definitely had an inseparable relationship with the current tense cosmic situation.

"No wonder the Eternal Civilization suddenly attacked the Iron-Blood Civilization. So it was because of the Eternal Core..."

They collected all kinds of information and built models, lest they wouldn't even be able to name the other party's origins if they encountered him in the future.

And the Star Spirits and the Pantheon, these two civilizations who knew almost nothing, only realized at this moment that such a secret was actually hidden beneath the surging cosmic situation.

"I am currently dispatching more personnel over. The Eternal Core... I am also very curious about it."

The High Priest of the Star Spirits held his scepter and ordered the Commander currently on the battlefield: "Keep a close watch on the war's movements!"

Every time the Eternal Civilization utilized the Eternal Core, they would be supported by a massive war fleet, and the level of warfare involved was also extremely high, making it very difficult to snatch it head-on.

But this guy who was Alone was a very good entry point.

If he hadn't been unable to extricate himself, he would have wanted to personally head to the battlefield.

Ten days was far from enough time for the main forces, as well as powerhouses further away, to arrive here.

And temporarily constructing a teleportation channel nearby was too easy to be destroyed. Therefore, for the time being, there were only some spies and small fry in the vicinity.

But hidden in the dark, Taras's eyes flashed with a sharp light at this moment.

Several streaks of Flowing Light tore through the Starry Universe, simultaneously carrying an unrivaled prestige as they descended upon this place.

The main forces of the Iron-Blood Civilization were the first to arrive here!

After all, this was their Civilization Territory, so they naturally held a certain advantage when it came to traveling.

"Kader, Hasa, Uyi... You're all here..."

Assad quickly converged with them, feeling somewhat astonished inwardly.

Including the two of them, the Iron-Blood Civilization had directly sent ten Dominator-Tier Beings this time.

Moreover, three of them were Dominator-Tier Beings on the same tier as Barossa.

"Mhm, we received an emergency transfer order from the Head of State to come and coordinate with the operation." Kader nodded.

"Coordinate with the two of us?" Barossa froze for a moment and subconsciously asked.

"Coordinate with me." A thick, resonant voice transmitted over, and Taras slowly emerged from the Void.

"Your Excellency Taras, it was you!" Barossa looked somewhat embarrassed.

Assad, however, felt somewhat shocked. It was very obvious that Taras had been secretly following them the whole time.

This indicated that the Head of State hadn't planned on honestly sending the Dragon Sovereign out in the first place.

"Mhm." Taras nodded, then followed up by saying: "The battle has continued for ten days. Levick is almost unable to hold on anymore."

"But the Eternal Machine God's combat power has been constantly increasing. I don't know what method he's using, but it's impossible for it to have no limit."

"It's just that more and more people are being attracted over. Who knows how long we'll have to wait before he reveals any signs of decline."

Taras acted with the speed and vigor of lightning and wind. "Therefore, our actions must be fast."

Assad frowned and said: "Your Excellency Taras, with the Eternal Machine God's combat power, I'm afraid it will be very difficult for us to end the battle in a short time."

"I know..." Taras's expression remained unchanged. He looked at one of them and asked: "Kader, did you bring the item?"

"I brought it." Kader reached out his hand, carrying a silver-white Metal Box.

Taras took it. After opening it, a Long Spear crafted from a resplendent, radiant Crystal appeared before everyone's eyes. The spear tip was shaped like a pyramid, making Assad feel a chill on his brow.

"The Ironblood Crystal Spear!" Assad couldn't help but exclaim in shock when he saw this item.

Your Excellency the Head of State had actually mobilized this thing. This was a Superweapon that their Iron-Blood Civilization had spent an enormous amount of resources and paid a huge price to forge.

The Ironblood Crystal Spear, also known as the Holy Spear of Alnania. In the native language of the Iron-Blood Civilization, it roughly meant "Invincible", "Legendary", and "Supreme".

Its position was similar to the [Eternal Core]; they were both bottom-of-the-box trump cards.

Its upper limit had a bit of a gap compared to the [Eternal Core]. After all, the more Mechanical Lifeforms fused, the more powerful the Eternal Machine God became. However, its lower limit was much higher.

"Your Excellency the Head of State is indeed far-sighted and deeply thoughtful," he couldn't help but sigh.

Mobilizing the Ironblood Crystal Spear required time. And in the very beginning, no one knew the Dragon Sovereign could display such a massive level of threat.

But their Head of State had already issued the order to mobilize the Ironblood Crystal Spear, which could be said to be deeply far-sighted.

Taras remained silent. Actually, the Ironblood Crystal Spear was meant to deal with Levick.

The [Eternal Core] was too enticing. Their Head of State was practically drooling over it and didn't want any accidents to occur, which was why he mobilized the Ironblood Crystal Spear.

He just didn't expect that now it would have to be used to deal with the Dragon Sovereign.

...

And Li Yu also discovered the sudden arrival of Kader's group.

"We cannot allow the Eternal Core to leak out, and the other civilizations covet it just as much. They have already learned of your ability to enhance the Eternal Machine God. They are even less likely to allow you to be taken away by me." Levick shook his head and sighed:

"You cannot leave here. It's just a matter of whose hands you fall into."

"What a pity..."

Taras had already led his people closer to the battlefield. All the observing detection equipment locked onto him and had already obtained the relevant data.

The Pillar of Ironblood—Taras!

Another major figure capable of piercing through the Universe.

All the lifeforms paying Attention to this place couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air.

"What a brilliant Drogheda, waiting until the very end to come out and clean up the mess." The High Priest of the Star Spirits frowned.

On the battlefield, neither Li Yu nor Levick felt surprised by Taras's appearance.

"Dragon Sovereign, come back with me." Taras looked at the Eternal Machine God, his tone flat.

"You were the ones who sent me out, and now you want me to go back with you. Isn't that a bit inappropriate?" Li Yu asked in return.

"Then I'm sorry, I don't have time to waste words with you." Taras didn't hesitate and directly attacked!

His entire person erupted with an Aura as blazing as a volcano, charging toward the Eternal Machine God.

"Are all of you from the Iron-Blood Civilization brutes?" Li Yu couldn't help but say, as the Titan Giant Axe had already chopped over.

But halfway there, Taras suddenly pulled out a Long Spear that was entirely resplendent and crystal clear. It bloomed with a terrifying power that even made Li Yu feel palpitating fear.

Bang!

The Titan Giant Axe was directly knocked away. The Ironblood Crystal Spear continuously magnified in Li Yu's eyes, forcefully piercing into the Eternal Machine God's Corporeal Form and continuously delving deeper.

Boom!!

The Ironblood Crystal Spear pushed the Eternal Machine God against the Cosmic Space wall, bursting open countless fissures, like cracked porcelain.

The might of a single strike transmitted to the nearby Star Sector, having already exceeded its tolerance limit.

The entire Star Sector could be seen exploding with a bang, and countless Void Storms poured backward.

However, the Eternal Machine God wasn't sent flying outward. A crack appeared where it was pierced by the Ironblood Crystal Spear, and then this crack rapidly spread across the Eternal Machine God's entire body.

Bang!

The entire Eternal Machine God exploded. Mechanical Parts flew all over the sky, and metal wreckage shot in all directions.

As expected of the Holy Spear of Alnania...

Levick watched this scene, feeling regretful inwardly.

It was a pity he didn't bring the [Eternal Core] over, otherwise, it might have been a different outcome.

Taras wasn't surprised by the scene before him, because this was the inevitable outcome under the attack of the Ironblood Crystal Spear.

If it couldn't achieve this effect, it would be doing a great disservice to the resources paid by the Iron-Blood Civilization.

His gaze locked onto this patch of metal ruins, wanting to find Li Yu's main body from within.

But right at this moment, a sudden change arose.

The Metal Parts that had scattered and flown away before his eyes seemed to be pulled by an invisible force, and quickly converged toward the center again. In the blink of an eye, the Eternal Machine God rapidly recovered to its original state.

[Near-Death Rebirth], an ability Li Yu hadn't triggered in a long time.

Now, due to ability sharing, it instead allowed the Eternal Machine God to revive once again.

Fuck, good thing I held back a trick!

Li Yu let out a long sigh of relief, and then without hesitation, utilized his currently most powerful "sneak attack" method.

Annihilation Device Shards + random Amplification from [Morphological Burst] + [Hawkeye Emblem].

A frontal Energy bombardment required time to charge up. Even with the assistance of the [Hawkeye Emblem], it wouldn't necessarily be able to break through the opponent's powerful Weapon.

Therefore, it was more suitable to launch a sneak attack now!

A thick gray mist instantly enveloped Taras's entire body.

His pupils constricted, and his consciousness began to fall endlessly. His vision was filled with grayish-black flames, and a single eye appeared before him.

This scene made him feel disbelief.

Annihilation Device!?

How is this possible!

And right when Taras was attacked by the Annihilation Device, Li Yu moved.

This guy's own Strength was too strong. He knew this method wouldn't be able to trap the opponent for too long, so he had to act as quickly as possible.

Because of the attack just now, the two of them were currently very close, almost within arm's reach.

Li Yu's large mechanical hand reached directly into the gray mist and forcibly pulled out a crystal clear and resplendent object.

Give it here!

(End of Chapter)

Chapter 849: Join Forces

"Your Excellency Levick, what should we do?"

Kuzan's mechanical body was constantly smoking and escaping sparks of Electric Arcs.

They had previously guessed that the Iron-Blood Civilization couldn't possibly let this guy off so easily.

After all, the Eternal Civilization's purpose towards Li Yu was simply too strong; there was obviously something fishy going on.

They had also prepared for the Iron-Blood Civilization to intervene at the last moment.

The original Levick played this role.

But they completely hadn't expected Li Yu's combat power to exceed estimations, causing the backup plan to become the primary plan.

Now that Taras had appeared with people from the Iron-Blood Civilization, and even carried the Holy Spear of Alnania, almost no one could stop him.

"We fought fiercely for so long, only to let them take advantage of it for nothing." Kuzan was somewhat indignant. "That guy must also be a Spent Force; there's no way he can withstand the siege of so many people."

In his view, even if the Eternal Machine God's performance remained strong, it was impossible for it to have no wear and tear after such a long battle.

Levick was almost Squeezed Dry, and the opponent was probably not much better off.

"Forget about a siege. Let's see if he can even withstand the attack of the Holy Spear of Alnania first," Levick shook his head.

The Holy Spear of Alnania was a single-target Weapon with unimaginable power in individual combat.

Moreover, it was in Taras's hands. Even if he were in his peak state, he fundamentally couldn't withstand the attack of the Holy Spear of Alnania.

"Prepare to deal with the Iron-Blood Civilization. The Eternal Core absolutely cannot be controlled by the opponent, even if it means starting a war!" Levick's tone was sonorous and powerful.

Although the civilization paths of the two sides were not exactly the same, they had both reached this tier after all. Thoroughly researching the [Eternal Core] would only be a matter of time.

And as one of the Eternal Civilization's most powerful trump cards, if it were thoroughly researched by the Iron-Blood Civilization, it would be an extremely major blow.

Therefore, the Eternal Civilization couldn't possibly sit back and watch this happen.

Boom!

Right after Levick finished speaking, Taras pierced the Eternal Machine God with the Holy Spear of Alnania.

The subsequent scene completely didn't exceed his expectations.

The Eternal Machine God directly exploded, turning into Metal Parts.

"Prepare to leave here. Otherwise, once Taras frees up his hands, he won't mind keeping us here too," Levick ordered.

The other heavily damaged Mechanical Lords nodded in succession, preparing to evacuate.

However, right at this moment, the Eternal Machine God, which had been completely reduced to fragments, actually condensed and fused back together, restoring its normal form once again. The Energy Fluctuation it emitted didn't decline in the slightest.

It even launched a strange counterattack, instead plunging Taras into a bizarre state.

This sudden change startled even Levick. He watched helplessly as the Eternal Machine God pulled the Holy Spear of Alnania out from the gray mist.

The other lords were even more astonished, their mechanical pupils almost bursting.

The Eternal Machine God can even revive?

It was smashed into pieces, yet it can still recover to its original state?

Their mechanical civilization had its own advantages. Once they reached a certain tier and broke through some bottlenecks, they could carry out massive, batch production.

It was just a matter of whether the materials could keep up.

But the disadvantage was that wear and tear were permanent. They could only be repaired with new materials, and were almost impossible to repair through other means.

Perhaps they could use some time-type abilities to reverse it, but there were also huge limitations, and it could only be maintained for a short time.

And once the material strength of a certain mechanical part couldn't keep up, it would be disastrous in frontal combat.

But the Eternal Machine God before them had displayed various abilities they extremely desired during the battle.

And now, seeing it recover to its original state, this group of Mechanical Lords were almost leaking dark oily substances from their undersides.

Levick stared at that ball of gray mist. He had long known that the opponent possessed the ability to control the Annihilation Device, but seeing it now still left him somewhat shocked.

"It really is the Annihilation Device..."

"Hold on before evacuating!" Levick suddenly spoke, changing his decision.

As the Iron-Blood Civilization's bottom-of-the-box trump card, the Holy Spear of Alnania held the same Status as the Eternal Core.

Generally speaking, it only had value to be used in large-scale battlefields.

But to ensure absolutely nothing went wrong, Drogheda directly dispatched it over.

The advantage was that it would indeed form a localized crushing combat power and settle the battle in a short time.

But the disadvantage was also obvious. Due to insufficient protection, accidents could easily occur, such as it being snatched.

However, this kind of accident was a false proposition, because wanting to snatch it meant necessarily defeating the Controller. The difficulty was uncommonly high, and the likelihood of it happening was also miniscule.

However, it had actually happened now.

Because the revival of the Eternal Machine God and the power of the Annihilation Device were completely outside the Iron-Blood Civilization's expectations.

This led to the appearance of the scene before them—the Holy Spear of Alnania had been snatched!

Without a doubt, with the Holy Spear of Alnania snatched, the Iron-Blood Civilization would definitely go crazy, just like them.

And thus, the two sides now shared a common goal—the Dragon Sovereign before them!

...

At the same time, an endless distance away, The Prophet, who had also diverted a bit of his attention to observe this battle, suddenly erupted with a formidable Aura from his body.

"So it was you!"

His pupils gleamed with a bright light. Ever since the fluctuation of the Annihilation Device Shards appeared last time, there had been no more movements.

This made him very anxious. He carried out quite a few operations around The Ruins, but Gained Nothing.

He never expected that the Annihilation Device Shards would actually be in the hands of this lifeform.

He no longer had the time to care about exactly how the other party urged the power of the Annihilation Device.

He only had one thought now: snatch the Annihilation Device Shards back!

But soon after, his expression became Moody again. Because near that battlefield, there were no powerhouses from Civilization Zero, only a few sent over by him to "join the fun."

Because in his original estimations, the scale of this battle fundamentally wouldn't reach this extent.

It was completely too late to temporarily send people over now.

"Having snatched the Holy Spear of Alnania, Levick will definitely join forces with Taras next to forcefully keep this guy behind."

The Prophet's eyes flickered, feeling somewhat regretful inwardly. Why didn't he send a few more people over previously?

But... this kind of situation was also much easier than searching for a Needle in a Haystack before.

Once this guy was defeated later, the item would only fall into the hands of these two civilizations. At least he had a specific target now.

"If he hadn't snatched the Holy Spear of Alnania, he might still have a chance to leave. What a pity..." He secretly shook his head.

This tier of Weapon, even if snatched, couldn't be used directly; it had various Authority barriers.

A massive amount of time would be needed to crack these Authorities.

Since the other party could use the Eternal Core, he should have the experience and ability in this aspect.

But the problem was, this was a battle where every second counted. No one would give him the time; it was equivalent to him snatching a fire poker.

And this fire poker would connect the Eternal Civilization and the Iron-Blood Civilization together.

...

"This thing..." The Holy Spear of Alnania floated quietly in the large mechanical hand of the Eternal Machine God, looking like nothing special.

But only he himself knew that the Eternal Machine God had activated all kinds of resistance fields to offset the massive mass-energy Impact brought by the Holy Spear of Alnania.

This was because the Holy Spear of Alnania had fallen into an autonomous dormant state, and the spear body wasn't operating, which was why it brought such massive pressure.

He tried connecting to it, and without any surprise, six large words popped up on the Holy Spear of Alnania—

"No Usage Authority!"

At the same time, Assad and the others had hurriedly rushed up, their expressions mixed with anxiety and uneasiness.

Originally, their large mouths had already split open in a grin, but now their appearances had completely changed.

That was the Holy Spear of Alnania, yet now it had been snatched by the enemy.

Their division of labor was clear. Eight people blocked in front of Taras, while two people stood beside that ball of gray mist, one shooting a Light Beam from his forehead, and the other's hands radiating brilliant light.

These were likely methods that could act on Spiritual Bodies, and they were currently assisting Taras in breaking free from the influence.

Very quickly, the gray mist around Taras was forcibly torn apart. He emerged with a sunken face, subconsciously clenching his right hand, which was already empty.

Li Yu wasn't too surprised by this. The power of the Annihilation Device was limited. Even after undergoing a series of Amplifications, it was very difficult to cause damage to a powerful lifeform at Taras's tier.

Not to mention he also had people helping him, so it didn't take too long for him to break free from this influence.

"Give the item back to me!" Taras's expression was solemn. "Otherwise, you will face the Iron-Blood Civilization's Fight to the death pursuit!"

He suppressed his anger inwardly. The attack from the Annihilation Device was completely unexpected.

If it were any other frontal attack, holding the Holy Spear of Alnania, he would be unrivaled and completely unafraid.

But this kind of "sneak attack" completely exceeded his expectations.

Moreover, it was the Annihilation Device, the Progenitor of sneak attacks, with its unreasonable target locking.

Hearing this, Li Yu couldn't help but sneer and said: "Aren't your words a bit too domineering? You guys are the only ones allowed to attack me, but I'm not allowed to counterattack?"

"Hand over the Holy Spear of Alnania to me, and I can let you leave," Taras continued.

"The Iron-Blood Civilization no longer has any credibility with me." Li Yu shook his head, clearly refusing this demand.

"Taras, let's Join Forces." Levick also jumped out at a very suitable time. Although he was almost Squeezed Dry, he could still hold on for a period of time.

"Join forces..." Taras frowned deeply.

"That's right. After taking him down, the Eternal Core goes to me, and the Holy Spear of Alnania returns to you." Levick continued: "With the two of us joining forces, taking him down shouldn't be a problem."

"If we let him leave here, I'm afraid it will be troublesome to try and find him again."

"That's the only way then." Taras let out a long sigh.

Losing the Holy Spear of Alnania was a loss the Iron-Blood Civilization absolutely couldn't bear.

Under the current circumstances, only by joining forces with Levick could he ensure absolutely nothing went wrong.

Although this was completely different from their plan, but... since the battle started, whose plan had followed the established trajectory?

The situation Deteriorated rapidly, truly leaving everyone present somewhat confused.

They originally thought they were just here to watch the fun, but they never expected the matter to escalate more and more.

Not only the Eternal Core, but now the Iron-Blood Civilization's Holy Spear of Alnania had also been snatched.

If they didn't snatch it back today, tsk... it would be a huge joke.

However, these people also understood that in order to snatch the item back, Taras would definitely cooperate with Levick.

Being besieged by two major lifeforms standing at the pinnacle of the Universe, this powerful lifeform that suddenly popped out would probably also find it very difficult to withstand.

"Not necessarily. With the Holy Spear of Alnania in hand, judging from the power it just erupted with, even if Levick and Taras join forces, they probably won't be a match for this guy."

In a certain civilization's conference room, the High Echelon estimated.

Another person shook his head: "He has to be able to use it first. Even if he cracked the Usage Authority of the Eternal Core, it's very difficult to crack the Usage Authority of the Holy Spear of Alnania right away."

"A Weapon that can't be used, no matter how powerful it is, has nothing to do with him."

"That's true..."

Such discussions occurred in quite a few places, in stark contrast to the previous standoff between the Major Civilizations.

In the current scenario, whoever won or lost wouldn't have much impact on them; most of them held the mentality of watching a joke.

On the battlefield, frantic Energy shot out and went on a Power Overload, spiraling around Taras as his Aura was released without any scruples, continuously Embellishing!

His body suddenly expanded, rapidly growing gigantic until he became a colossal giant.

Earlier, comparing his size to the Eternal Machine God was like comparing an ant to a mountain peak, but now they had become evenly matched.

The skin on the surface was grayish-black, while possessing a metallic luster, looking extremely peculiar.

This change in body size wasn't empty bulk. Along with it, Taras's Aura, which had already reached its peak, experienced a slight increase once again.

It should be some kind of explosive method.

"Assist us. Take him down at all costs!" he coldly issued orders to the others.

Assad and the others nodded, their expressions solemn. They also knew the importance of this battle.

They were no longer the fishermen watching When the Snipe and the Clam Fight, the Fisherman Wins; their mentality also began to become anxious, similar to the Mechanical Lords from earlier.

On the other side, most of the Mechanical Lords had already lost their combat capabilities. Energy Channels extended from their bodies, connecting to Levick.

These were not ordinary Energies, but methods specifically used to support certain powerful attacks.

The Energy Pathways on Levick's body lit up densely.

At the same time, a portion of mechanical equipment detached from these Mechanical Lords and perfectly embedded itself onto Levick.

This could also be considered one of their advantages; they could enhance a certain individual to a certain extent.

(End of Chapter)

Chapter 850: Escape, the Soon-to-be Crazy Civilizations

The Titan Giant Axe changed direction, transforming into a thick bolt of lightning. It chopped out once again, striking towards Levick who was charging up once more.

Unable to dodge in time, Levick hurriedly assumed a defensive posture.

A shield, snatched from who knows which Mechanical Lord, immediately bloomed with light, popping out a shield phantom like a Protective Shield. Magnified tens of thousands of times and extremely thick, it blocked his front.

Crack!

The Giant Axe crashed into the shield with a boom. The seemingly indestructible shield shattered in an instant, utterly fragile.

The Shockwave instantly spread out, as if a glass-shattering explosion rang out out of thin air in everyone's minds.

The Mechanical Restraints on the Titan Giant Axe unfolded and even spewed out a Light Beam of Energy. Electricity sped past, and with one strike, Levick was directly cleaved flying.

Right at this moment, Taras rushed over from a distance. Concentrating his strength into a single point, he threw a punch that knocked the axe body askew, forcefully inserting himself into the battlefield.

The Eternal Machine God's body twisted, and its other mechanical arm rapidly transformed. A large number of propulsion structures formed, and with a sudden forward dash, it erupted with a sky full of Thunder, dazzling and eye-catching.

In this form, the speed and power of the mechanical arm experienced a massive increase.

This strike, with the speed of lightning, instantly bombarded Taras's waist, causing his figure to sway and nearly fly backward.

Bang!

A Shockwave burst forth with a boom!

The two giants began to wrestle. The Eternal Machine God's Thrusters operated at full power, and the two formed a stalemate.

At this time, a burst of scorching Energy attacked from behind. Forced by circumstances, Li Yu turned around and parried, blocking Levick's sneak attack.

But in the next moment, Taras's giant fist bombarded his back. A majestic and tremendous force transmitted over, and a large number of electric sparks shot out unceasingly.

Levick quickly followed up, drawing out a mechanical electromagnetic whip from his body. In the blink of an eye, he lashed out thousands of times, covering this area in an electromagnetic current.

Taras suddenly retracted his fist to gather momentum, and in the next moment, he threw out a sky full of fist phantoms.

Besieged, Li Yu spun the Titan Giant Axe like a flying wheel, engaging in a tangled fight with the two of them. A series of chain Shockwaves exploded in the air.

There were also many annoying guys all around conducting auxiliary attacks.

Having fought to this point, there was no room for trickery on either side; they were fighting head-on without end.

Li Yu's eyes narrowed. The Armor on his mechanical head closed up, and he fiercely smashed it against Taras's head.

Mechanical Restraints shot out from his waist one by one, rapidly covering Taras's body, and then exploded with a boom!

Taking advantage of Taras being pinned down, Li Yu fiercely twisted his body and threw an axe at Levick, preparing to first deal with this guy who was already on low health.

The black vortex on Levick's head spun at extreme speed, and his entire person's imposing manner suddenly soared. He crossed his mechanical arms, wrapped in dazzling Energy, in front of his body, neither dodging nor evading.

In the next moment, the Titan Giant Axe fell. With the massive disparity in their body sizes, it was as if a planet had swatted over.

Boom!!

A Shockwave burst forth!

A concentrated force field formed between Levick's hands, blocking the falling Giant Axe. His entire person stood as immovable as a mountain, not even retreating half a bit in the Starry Sky.

The heavy and powerful Titan Giant Axe was actually stopped, unable to advance even a fraction.

However, right at this time, Taras charged out from the Residual Energy, crashing over like a star, directly making intimate contact with the Eternal Machine God.

Bang!

The mechanical body underwent massive deformation, and the Eternal Machine God was directly sent flying backward, while being subjected to a flurry of explosive hammer blows from Taras.

Boom!

Li Yu swung the Titan Giant Axe, using Taras's Impact force to forcefully retreat.

His mechanical body was already scorched black and covered in all kinds of scars, and its repair speed had also slowed down considerably.

Obviously, with his current intensity, he was far from being able to resist the siege of the two.

Taras and Levick didn't pursue, adjusting their combat postures at the same time.

Not out of their expectations, this guy was fundamentally not a match for the two of them joining forces.

The only thing that surprised them was that the opponent's Strength was still slowly increasing by small margins.

But with this speed of improvement, he was still a long time away from being able to defeat the two of them.

"Let's end this," Taras said in a deep voice.

"Mhm." Levick nodded.

One large and one small figure charged forward simultaneously, preparing to completely end this battle that shouldn't have escalated to such a scale.

Li Yu's eyes narrowed slightly, and the large mechanical hand of the Eternal Machine God suddenly clenched.

In the next moment, an incomparably gigantic Crystal Long Spear appeared in his palm.

Mid-charge, Taras's pupils violently constricted.

The Holy Spear of Alnania!?

How can he use the Holy Spear of Alnania!?

How long has it been!?

He cracked the Usage Authority?

Levick was also very bewildered. He stared in astonishment at the Holy Spear of Alnania, and three words surfaced in his mind—

We're doomed!

The Eternal Machine God's metallic corners of the mouth slightly turned up in an inexplicable arc.

"You guys can also taste what it feels like to be pierced by this thing!"

Holding the Holy Spear of Alnania, Li Yu fiercely thrust forward!

Buzz!

In the next moment, a light capable of blinding people's eyes gushed out from the gigantic Holy Spear of Alnania, instantly filling this area and submerging the figures of Taras and Levick.

[Holy Spear of Alnania: The supreme Weapon forged by the Iron-Blood Civilization. It possesses the might to crush and obliterate everything, and can even cause permanent damage to Cosmic Rules.

Requires sufficient Energy support when used!]

Without needing too much description, the might to crush and obliterate everything was enough to prove the Holy Spear of Alnania's power.

Li Yu had absolutely no relevant experience when it came to things like cracking Authorities.

But he was incomparably familiar with another kind of operation, and that was inlaying.

The inlay slots of the [Symbiotic Colonization Armor] were enough to solve the problem of not being able to use it for him.

In his hands, there were no Weapons that couldn't be used.

The dazzling Energy Orb thoroughly covered this area, forming a collapsing zone in an instant. The moment a Black Hole formed, it was destroyed, and then continued to collapse towards the center.

The surrounding time and space nearly stagnated, unable to flow any longer.

The surrounding observing fleets continuously repelled each other, only barely managing to break free from the influence of this super-strong gravitational pull.

They stared at the center of the battlefield in disbelief. The continuously expanding Energy Orb had long surpassed a star's Energy Level Reaction.

At the same time, it continuously cycled between collapsing and expanding, making it impossible to predict whether it would explode and destroy everything in the next second, or condense into a point and Vanished Completely.

"H-H-How can he use the Holy Spear of Alnania!?" Assad was completely bewildered, a long-lost panic filling his heart.

Because at this moment, he already foresaw the defeat of this battle.

At the same time, it also meant that the Holy Spear of Alnania was about to drift away from the Iron-Blood Civilization.

Everyone's thoughts were different, but the fluctuation of the Energy Orb clearly hadn't reached its limit yet.

Bang, bang, bang!

A large number of mechanical structures popped out, drilling a passage within the Energy Orb. It seemed something wanted to scurry out from inside.

Bang!

A pitch-black figure tumbled and charged out. The surface of his mechanical body had completely deformed, almost impossible to recognize its original features.

It was Levick!

This guy actually didn't die...Li Yu's eyebrows raised slightly.

Perhaps it was due to Levick forcefully charging out that the structure of the Energy Orb was disrupted.

The Energy Orb exploded in an instant, and a Shockwave swept across this Star Sector. Even though the surrounding observing fleets had retreated to a considerable distance, they were still affected to a certain extent and shook unceasingly.

Li Yu himself was also blasted very far away. The power of this strike truly somewhat exceeded his imagination.

Right after he landed, a cracking sound came from inside the Eternal Machine God.

"Can't hold on..." Li Yu glanced at the internal Body structure and found that it was about to disintegrate.

This strike from the Holy Spear of Alnania almost completely drained the Eternal Machine God's Energy. Coupled with the previous siege, it was practically at the point of exhaustion.

Extracting Energy from the Space Stone to replenish it also required time, and the efficiency couldn't keep up.

It seems this thing is still mainly used for close-combat assaults...

Li Yu pondered inwardly and scanned the battlefield. The surviving Mechanical Lords were holding a tattered piece of Body structure in their hands.

It seemed to be what was left of Levick.

Mechanical Lifeforms were very difficult to kill. As long as they had backup data and the relevant materials, they could be revived.

However, to forge a Mechanical Lifeform at Levick's tier, the Eternal Civilization would probably also need to pay a massive amount of resources.

This was also the reason why the Eternal Civilization was so enthusiastic about expansion and conquest.

For other civilizations, converting resources into combat power still required a certain amount of time.

But for them, resources equaled combat power.

And Assad and the others could only stare blankly at the battlefield, which had already been filled with Void Storms.

An almost irreparably desolate land was formed here, and occasionally, some collapsing points would abruptly pop out, devouring everything around them.

Even ordinary A-Tier Lifeforms couldn't withstand this kind of collapsing point.

Taras's figure had already Vanished Completely.

Although his massive size brought him an Amplification in combat power, during the Impact just now, he also bore the vast majority of its power and completely died.

It's time to retreat; I can't stay any longer...

This battle had continued for too long and had also attracted the gazes of too many civilizations.

Although they didn't know exactly what was happening here at the beginning.

But now, his situation was probably already known to everyone.

Bearing the Annihilation Device, the Eternal Core, and now even having snatched the Holy Spear of Alnania.

Of the five top civilizations, he had directly offended three. Without needing to think, they were definitely frantically dispatching more personnel over here now.

If he didn't retreat now, when would he?

Without hesitation, Li Yu transformed into a streak of Flowing Light and dashed towards the distant, Withered Universe.

Among some of the observing fleets, the Super Lifeforms of Civilization Zero gathered together. Their numbers were few, only about four.

They were merely a casual move by The Prophet and fundamentally didn't have the qualifications to join the battle.

At this moment, they stared in the direction Li Yu had left, somewhat hesitant.

"Should we chase after him? I feel like he should be a Spent Force right now," one of them spoke.

"We can't chase him. The probability of him being a Spent Force isn't high; dealing with a few of us shouldn't be a problem." Another person shook his head and said:

"Moreover, The Prophet didn't issue an order to pursue."

That person immediately sighed: "Sigh... To think the Annihilation Device Shards would actually be on such a troublesome figure."

Hearing this, someone else's tone grew deep: "Indeed troublesome..."

"Next, the Iron-Blood Civilization will definitely go completely crazy, and the Eternal Civilization won't let him off either, plus us."

"Even if he flees to the Edge of the Universe, they will still find him. When the time comes to fight over his ownership, I'm afraid it will be another huge battle."

Meanwhile, within the other civilizations paying Attention to this place, the Holographic Screens of their meetings blurred, displaying a loss of signal and temporarily unable to connect, clearly affected by the Energy Fluctuation.

But they had already seen what they needed to see earlier: that guy holding the Holy Spear of Alnania, launching a Jedi counterattack.

Even without seeing it, they could predict the outcome.

"The Holy Spear of Alnania... was cracked?" The throats of some civilization High Echelons bobbed.

"Haha, this is a huge joke now!" Some civilization rulers also burst into loud laughter.

A portion of the High Echelons were confused. With a major event of this scale happening, it was still unknown what kind of impact it would have on the already tense cosmic situation, yet their Boss was still so amused.

"Don't worry, there won't be a large-scale war sweeping across the Universe, at least not in the short term," this ruler explained.

He stood higher up, so he could roughly guess the thoughts of the Eternal Civilization and the others.

"During this battle, that guy displayed multifaceted uses of the Eternal Core, which is something the Eternal Civilization has never shown before."

"At the same time, he snatched away the Holy Spear of Alnania and bears the Annihilation Device Shards."

"These three civilizations cannot possibly let him off, and the Pantheon and Star Spirits will also get involved."

"It's no exaggeration to say that whoever finds him and successfully captures or invites him to join will gain a massive boost to their own civilization."

"But for a lifeform at this tier, since he dared to do such a thing, he definitely has his own confidence and certainty."

"Therefore, wanting to find him is an extremely difficult matter in itself. Before this matter is settled, the five top civilizations will no longer have the thought of starting a war."

Following their Boss's explanation, the rest of the High Echelons finally saw the light.

Damn, the originally tense situation completely disappeared, all because of this single guy?

But immediately after, this civilization ruler restrained his expression and sighed: "However, it's also precisely because of his importance that if he is found by multiple civilizations at the same time, it will mean the start of a war."

"Therefore, gentlemen, let us pray that this powerful lifeform won't be found so quickly."

The numerous High Echelons, whose moods had just relaxed, became tense once again, Look at Each Other in Dismay.

It turned out there was still a hidden danger of war, and it was even more naked and direct than before.

Their safety was entirely tied to this guy.

The surging emotions in their hearts made their moods complex.

At the same time, a question surfaced in the minds of everyone who watched this battle.

Where on earth did such a fierce lifeform pop out from?

(End of Chapter)

Chapter 851: The Great Universe Alliance is Established, Preparing to Explore "The Ruins"

In the joint conference room, the rulers of the Five Great Civilizations gathered once again.

However, the atmosphere this time seemed much stranger.

The Holographic Screen in the center was playing the footage of the battle that just occurred.

Drogheda's face was gloomy, the veins on his forehead throbbing. The Prophet's expression was solemn. Ultimate Intelligence was a large sphere of light, so its specific emotional reactions couldn't be seen.

The High Priest of the Star Spirits, however, had his large mouth split open in a grin, seeming to be very happy.

He really couldn't help but be happy. The Iron-Blood Civilization suffered a massive loss this wave; not only did they lose the Holy Spear of Alnania, but Taras was also killed on the spot.

Moreover, this battle was witnessed by many civilizations, which was enough to cause a huge impact on the Iron-Blood Civilization.

And he also learned from this battle that the Eternal Civilization also lost an Eternal Core, and Levick's body was completely destroyed, resulting in a considerable loss.

Then there was Civilization Zero. Their Annihilation Device was actually controlled by a lifeform from outside their civilization, which surely hid many secrets.

He didn't know that Li Yu's Eternal Core was actually supplied to the Titan Civilization by the Eternal Civilization an unknown number of years ago.

He also didn't know that Civilization Zero's Annihilation Device had already shattered.

However, just the information he currently grasped was already enough for him to laugh heartily.

After all, in this battle, the only ones who didn't suffer any losses were the Star Spirits and the Pantheon.

Moreover, the more crucial point was that these things were all concentrated on one lifeform.

To them, Li Yu was now a treasure trove. Whoever found him first would strike it rich.

Seeing the High Priest of the Star Spirits' almost undisguised smile, Drogheda's mood worsened even more.

He also hadn't expected that the Holy Spear of Alnania would actually be lost, much less that Taras would die in this battle.

That was a foundation-level combat power of the Iron-Blood Civilization. Right now, his heart was bleeding, but he had to maintain his composure.

"Gentlemen, keep calm. We should now exchange information with each other. This guy who suddenly popped out has made us all feel very surprised." The High Priest of the Star Spirits spoke first:

"It's just that we know absolutely nothing about him."

"Exchange information?" Drogheda said grumpily. "The Star Spirits didn't suffer any losses, so why do you need his information?"

"I personally believe it's enough for me to exchange information with The Prophet and Ultimate Intelligence."

"You can't say it like that..." The High Priest of the Star Spirits grinned, shaking his head and saying: "Who knows, we might become his enemies at some point."

"Moreover, understanding enough information can also allow us to help you all search for his traces."

"I see you just want to snatch the prize from under our noses." Drogheda coldly snorted, directly exposing the High Priest of the Star Spirits' intentions.

"How is that possible," the High Priest of the Star Spirits denied.

"I believe information should indeed be shared." Ultimate Intelligence suddenly spoke up: "Let us go first. According to the intelligence we have gathered, he comes from the Titan Civilization Ruins. He should be a civilization Citizen who grew anew after the Civilization's Demise of the Titans."

"Oh?" The High Priest of the Star Spirits was quite surprised, and then thoughtfully said: "No wonder your movements around The Ruins have been so frequent lately. So it was also because of him..."

Drogheda frowned deeply, not understanding why Ultimate Intelligence wanted to share this information.

"The reason why he controls the power of the Annihilation Device should be because of some things we left behind in The Ruins." The Prophet spoke nonsense with a straight face, his expression flat.

Following that, everyone turned their gazes toward Drogheda again.

Yielding to the general trend, Drogheda could only snort coldly and say: "We don't have much information. We only know that he is fond of the Origin Essence Evolution Path, and simultaneously destroyed that Failed Evolution Body."

"A good foundation for information sharing..." Ultimate Intelligence agreed.

As for that Failed Evolution Body, no one brought it up anymore.

Judging from the current situation, what Drogheda said was highly likely true; they really didn't possess that Failed Evolution Body.

More importantly, the Iron-Blood Civilization was already on the verge of going berserk. If pressed too hard, these madmen might actually start a war.

"Since we're sharing information, I'd like to ask, what exactly is going on with his Eternal Machine God? How could it erupt with such powerful combat power?" the High Priest of the Star Spirits immediately pressed.

Anyway, they didn't have to give up anything and were currently completely To freeload off the relevant intelligence.

"I'm not clear on this either. Our application of the Eternal Core hasn't reached this level." Ultimate Intelligence was very candid:

"That Eternal Core was actually supplied to the Titan Civilization by us back then."

"It was only due to some unexpected circumstances that this Eternal Core was lost on that battlefield."

"Under normal circumstances, that is an Eternal Core that is many generations behind. Its energy utilization efficiency and body fusion speed cannot compare to our current ones."

"But the reality is that the power it unleashed far exceeded my expectations."

Hearing this, the High Priest of the Star Spirits said with a solemn expression: "Could it be that the civilization born in The Ruins has already surpassed yours?"

"Impossible!" The Prophet immediately shook his head. "Everyone should clearly know how much time we've spent and what price we've paid to develop to our current stage."

"How long has it been since the Titan Civilization's Demise? There's no way a civilization born afterwards could surpass us!"

"Are you certain that the Titans have completely perished?" the High Priest asked with a hint of probing.

"We are certain!" The Prophet was resolute and decisive.F, the Annihilation Device has shattered into who knows what state; the Titan Civilization has definitely perished.*

"Regardless, we must find his traces and the Holy Spear of Alnania must be recovered. Anyone who stands in the way of the Iron-Blood Civilization will be made to pay the price!" Drogheda's tone was sonorous and powerful.

This sentence wasn't meant for Li Yu, who couldn't hear it, but rather for the civilizations present.

The High Priest of the Star Spirits' eyes flickered, Noncommittal.

Drogheda looked at Ultimate Intelligence and said in a deep voice: "I know you can use a Probability Storm to lock onto his position. Don't think your Eternal Civilization can hog this for yourselves."

The Prophet instantly shifted his gaze to Ultimate Intelligence as well.

"Not currently. He must use the Eternal Machine God again and generate an information intersection with me before I can use a Probability Storm to converge the possibilities," Ultimate Intelligence denied.

"Everyone should know that a lifeform at this tier almost no longer intersects with the Main Universe. It's very difficult for me to lock onto him out of thin air."

"Indeed, for the Star Spirit Compass to lock onto a lifeform at this tier, it also requires sufficient relevant Information State support." The High Priest of the Star Spirits agreed with Ultimate Intelligence's statement.

"He definitely knows he Poked a Hole in the Sky this time, so he certainly won't appear again in the short term." Drogheda felt depressed inwardly.

Generally speaking, finding a lifeform at this tier wasn't this difficult.

Lifeforms that reached the Dominator-tier were all cultivated by various civilizations.

If they couldn't be found, the civilization behind them could be found, and a civilization couldn't run away.

Therefore, a large amount of relevant Information State could be collected, and then special methods could be used to lock on.

But this guy had run out from the Titan Civilization Ruins, and no one could enter that Ruin.

"There is one more plan..." Ultimate Intelligence wasn't used to keeping people in suspense and said directly:

"Enter The Ruins. Since he grew up from that civilization, we can definitely obtain more intelligence from it and collect Information States related to him."

"Enter The Ruins..." Drogheda considered this plan and said: "The Rule Entanglement Area of The Ruins isn't so easy to break through. How much time will it take?"

He didn't want to wait a single moment longer right now. He just wanted to find that guy's location and then snatch the item back Like a Thunderbolt.

Right now, it felt like his own wife had been snatched by someone else. With every passing second, he would start Overthinking various scenes of her being toyed with in his mind, making him extremely uncomfortable.

"That's because we've always fought our own battles in the past and have never explored it jointly," Ultimate Intelligence said. "I believe we can use this as an opportunity to carry out preliminary joint efforts between civilizations, eliminate the tense atmosphere among civilizations in the Universe, and prepare to establish the Great Universe Alliance."

This Great Universe Alliance again...

The expressions of the others were strange. After going in a huge circle, Ultimate Intelligence had turned back to this issue.

This time, it wasn't using the suppression of the Iron-Blood Civilization as an opportunity, but rather the search for the Dragon Sovereign.

They could only say that Ultimate Intelligence's brain was truly sharp.

"I agree with this proposal." Drogheda was the first to speak up. "As long as we retrieve the Holy Spear of Alnania as soon as possible, I don't mind trying whatever Great Universe Alliance."

"I also agree." The Prophet nodded. He also wanted to enter The Ruins and obtain the portion of the spoils that belonged to them.

"I agree." The Genesis God, who hadn't spoken the entire time, opened its mouth:

"The Titan Civilization once plundered us, and I need to take back the Twelve Divine Thrones."

The High Priest of the Star Spirits had even less reason to refute. They hadn't suffered any losses in this incident; whatever they did was To freeload.

He nodded and said: "We have walked the path of confrontation. There is no harm in trying peaceful development..."

Ultimate Intelligence had always wanted to unite the Major Civilizations, establish the Great Universe Alliance, and stabilize the cosmic situation. This was precisely a good opportunity.

They certainly knew that given Ultimate Intelligence's characteristics, being so enthusiastic about this matter definitely meant it had its own goals.

However, establishing the Great Universe Alliance wouldn't be a bad thing for them either. After all, they would definitely be among the decision-makers as well.

"Everyone will not regret this decision today." The data ripples on the surface of Ultimate Intelligence clearly rose a bit.

"However..." The Prophet suddenly spoke up: "When it comes to the research of The Ruins, no one should be able to compare to us."

"We are willing to share this information, but we have some demands."

Theoretically, they had defeated the Titan Civilization head-on, so the entire Titan Civilization was their spoils of war.

But saying such things now definitely wouldn't gain the recognition of the others.

Therefore, he could only use this information in exchange for some rights, such as priority in selecting the spoils of war.

These were all details of the cooperation that needed to be carefully discussed, but the general framework had already been established.

"Let's issue an investigation notice to the other civilizations first. Perhaps we can find some clues." Drogheda was unwilling to let go of any possible clues.

"Mhm, after negotiating the general framework, we can announce it to the public. Since we've decided on peaceful development, large-scale wars will not be allowed to appear in this Universe." Ultimate Intelligence expressed agreement.

War had its harvesting methods, and peace had its harvesting methods.

The benefits of a peaceful harvest were not necessarily less than those of a war harvest, and they were more enduring.

...

On the other side, Li Yu, who was already completely far away from the battlefield, deactivated the Eternal Machine God, and the overwhelmed Primal Transformers appeared in the Starry Sky once again.

Their mechanical bodies all had severe damage, some even emitting green smoke and shooting out electric sparks.

This fierce battle indeed placed no small burden on them.

"I really played all my trump cards this time." Li Yu himself also let out a long sigh of relief. Even he hadn't expected this battle to last so long and involve such a high tier of combat power.

Fortunately, the [Symbiotic Colonization Armor] had undergone a major upgrade previously, and he himself had also evolved to a higher tier, otherwise he really might have met his end here.

"But it's not like I Gained Nothing..." Li Yu tossed out three already twisted Weapons from his hand, basically all forged from Source Matter.

Two came from the Eternal Civilization, and one from the Iron-Blood Civilization.

Because the Origin Essence Evolution Path was publicly recognized as impassable, the various top civilizations basically used it to forge Weapons.

There was also the most crucial Holy Spear of Alnania. According to Li Yu's estimation, this thing had to have fused with at least twenty streaks of Source Matter to possess such powerful might.

However, according to his estimation, although the Titan Civilization hadn't gone too far on the path of Source Matter Fusion.

Their technology for forging single-Source Matter Weapons was very formidable.

The utilization rate of Titan Artifacts was at least three times higher than these conventional Source Matter Weapons.

"Once I go back and extract the Source Matter, should I evolve the remaining Primal Transformers first, or enhance myself first..." Li Yu pondered.

"Right, there are still some Titan Artifacts in the Titan Civilization Ruins..."

"Hmm, I wonder how the situation with Andrei and the Link Channel is going..."

(End of Chapter)

Chapter 852: Return

Near a certain hidden Star Sector, this place was covered by an asteroid belt spanning tens of millions of kilometers in diameter.

At the same time, some metal wreckage was scattered about. Occasionally, distorted Spatial Fluctuations would burst forth, making it a dangerous area.

This scene was obviously left behind after a certain large-scale war.

And to avoid risks, almost no navigation routes passed through here.

However, deep within this area, there was a temporary Base, set up with various Instruments to shield against detection. Four Primal Transformers patrolled around the Base, remaining vigilant at all times.

In the center of the Base, a large-scale structure was operating constantly. At its end was a teleportation portal, continuously flashing with Spatial Fluctuations, yet it never formed a substantial channel.

Andrei and Bloodlust were both here. They stared at the teleportation portal, paying attention to any data fluctuations.

"Why is there still no news from Lord Dragon Sovereign?" Bloodlust couldn't help but ask.

They had Divide Forces into Two with Li Yu a long time ago. Carrying the connection equipment, they found such a safe place and attempted to carry out the channel connection.

This was not a task that could be completed in a short time. They had already been working hard for a long time, but they still didn't know how far away they were from success.

"We just need to wait here and follow orders." Andrei glanced at him, then sighed: "I didn't expect the outside world to have developed to this extent."

"The Eternal Civilization from back then has now even surpassed the Titan Civilization, while Zero has instead declined, no longer at its peak."

"So much time has passed since that war, and these civilizations wouldn't just stagnate." Bloodlust shook his head and said:

"However, Your Excellency Dragon Lord has now been targeted by the Eternal Civilization; I'm afraid it's very dangerous."

"Super Lifeforms were rare in the Titan Civilization Ruins, but in this Universe, there are many."

Andrei glanced around and whispered: "Speak and act cautiously. Be careful, or those Mechanical Lifeforms will teach you a lesson."

"I wasn't being disrespectful to him; I was just stating facts." Bloodlust sneered. "As for you, you really consider yourself a dog."

Andrei shrugged. "That also depends on whose dog you are. Your Excellency Dragon Lord is not an ordinary Super Lifeform."

"His age is simply too young."

Andrei sighed.

Bloodlust also deeply agreed: "For ordinary lifeforms, this age is indeed beyond imagination, but continuing to grow requires time."

The two of them were bored and chatted here for a while.

Not long after, another Primal Transformer flew in from the outside. After landing, it emitted a mechanical hum: "There is information about the Heavenly Venerable..."

Although they had separated from Li Yu, they would communicate every once in a while to ensure each other's safety.

But not long ago, this communication suddenly broke off. This made the Primal Transformers very anxious, fearing something had happened to their Heavenly Venerable.

So they sent a Primal Transformer out to gather information, and today there was finally a reply.

"I headed to a nearby civilization, wanting to use their information network to learn some clues, but I found that they are currently undergoing combat readiness mobilization..."

The emotional module of the Thirteenth Heavenly Origin was very excited as he projected an image.

"Five days ago... I intercepted this battle Recording..."

The numerous Primal Transformers gathered around one after another, and Andrei and Bloodlust also came closer, somewhat astonished as they said: "Isn't that the Eternal Machine God?"

"Correct. The Heavenly Venerable was besieged in the Iron-Blood Civilization, but he counter-killed two powerful lifeforms and has currently escaped..."

The Thirteenth Heavenly Origin projected more information.

Andrei revealed a look of disbelief as he looked at the relevant information on Taras and Levick.

Based on this intelligence, he could roughly guess that in the past Titan Civilization, these two powerful lifeforms could almost be compared to the patriarchs of the top three Titan ethnic groups!

Such figures were actually killed by the Dragon Sovereign?

And two at once!?

This is fing too fierce, isn't it?*

He calmed his emotions, glanced at Bloodlust, and said: "Who was it just now who said that growth requires time?"

Bloodlust glanced at him and said: "Growth requires time, but our great Dragon Sovereign naturally doesn't need it."

Andrei couldn't help but shake his head, suddenly noticing another piece of information.

"A joint statement issued by the five top civilizations: Eternal, Zero, Star Spirits, Iron-Blood, and the Pantheon. For the development of the universe, they will put aside confrontation and prejudice, and prepare to establish the Great Universe Alliance..."

"Any civilization with the intention of peaceful development can join..."

"At the same time, they demand that no more large-scale wars occur within the universe. They hope that friction between the Major Civilizations can be resolved within a certain scope..."

Andrei's eyes went blank.What does this mean? These Five Great Civilizations suddenly decided to unite?

This is too sudden...

The Primal Transformers didn't care much about this information; in their eyes, there was only the great Heavenly Venerable.

But Andrei knew that this matter had a far more profound impact on the universe.

Moreover, right after the Dragon Sovereign's great battle in the Iron-Blood Civilization ended, these Five Great Civilizations united, giving off a Baffling sense of connection.

Could it be that these five guys are uniting to deal with the Dragon Sovereign?

This thought suddenly surfaced in his mind, startling even Andrei himself.

Impossible, impossible...

He hurriedly shook his head, denying this guess.

Back then, the two-sided war between the Titan Civilization and Civilization Zero was so massive in scale that it almost Shake the Universe.

And that was just two top civilizations.

If the five civilizations united, who could escape?

...

About another half a month passed. Several Spaceships Warped here, opening a path through the asteroid belt. The Primal Transformers flew out from within to welcome their Heavenly Venerable.

The newcomer was precisely Li Yu, who had been cautious all the way and concealed his tracks to arrive here.

"Heavenly Venerable..." The Primal Transformers spoke respectfully. Li Yu casually nodded and asked: "How is the Link Channel?"

Andrei, following behind, hurriedly spoke up: "The progress has already reached about eighty percent. It should be able to connect very soon."

"This long?" Li Yu frowned slightly. He had thought the Link Channel would already be open.

"It's mainly because this place is relatively far from the Titan Civilization Ruins, so it took some extra time," Andrei explained.

Li Yu didn't blame him and said: "Then let's wait a little longer."

Everyone arrived at this temporary Base. The Primal Transformers had already gathered together, and their relationship with each other was still very good.

Their mechanical bodies rubbed against each other, radiating passion.

Don't misunderstand, this was merely because they were too close, and the electric sparks generated when their metal outer Armor accidentally bumped into each other.

Andrei's expression had been somewhat hesitant along the way, and he couldn't help but ask: "Dragon Sovereign, do you know that the Five Great Civilizations have already united?"

"I know." Li Yu nodded and said: "I learned of this news on my way here."

"Oh..." Andrei looked thoughtful, and seeing Li Yu's indifferent expression, he also let out a sigh of relief.

Since Lord Dragon Sovereign was so calm, it shouldn't be that they united to deal with him.

"What's wrong?" Li Yu noticed Andrei's strange expression and asked.

"Nothing, it's just that earlier I thought these Five Great Civilizations uniting was to deal with you." Andrei laughed.

"Huh, how did you guess that?" Li Yu asked, somewhat amazed.

Andrei's smile instantly froze on his face, and he asked cautiously: "You're not joking, are you?"

"Haha..." Li Yu chuckled and shook his head, saying: "Of course... I'm not."

"I also learned more information. The united Five Great Civilizations are now preparing to make a move on the Titan Civilization Ruins."

"In other words, they can't find me for the time being, so they decided to make a move on my lair."

"Of course, what they think is my 'lair'."

This was the information Li Yu intercepted while passing by some civilizations on his way here.

At first, he was also quite surprised, but then he thought about it: since these civilizations couldn't find him, it seemed they could only target the Titan Civilization Ruins.

Andrei was dumbfounded.

He hadn't been in this universe for just a day or two, so he had some understanding of the relevant information.

The Five Great Civilizations confronted each other, all afraid of the other stabbing them in the back.

Let alone jointly exploring the Titan Civilization Ruins.

But now, because of the Dragon Sovereign, this kind of thing actually happened!?

"I don't really have that much power," Li Yu saw through what he was thinking at a glance and said:

"The bottom-feeding shrimp of this universe have already been eaten, and what's left are all slightly bigger fish."

"The Five Great Civilizations confront each other, and no one dares to lightly start a large-scale war. Under these circumstances, they can only use a soft knife for Harvesting leeks."

"But this tense civilization situation is clearly not suitable for Harvesting leeks, so uniting is also a matter of course."

"It's just that there was no suitable opportunity before."

After digesting this information, Andrei's expression was complex, always feeling that the future before him was pitch-black.

Just imagining it, facing this kind of situation felt terrifyingly stressful.

But seeing Li Yu's Light as Wind and Cloud expression, he couldn't help but ask again: "Are you not worried?"

"I'm used to it..." Li Yu said nonchalantly: "Now, as a Super Lifeform facing the Five Great Civilizations, is there an essential difference from when I was an A-Tier Lifeform facing the Star Glory Empire?"

"If there's no room for easing tensions, then fight. If you can't win, then run. If you can't run, then fight again, until one side falls... What a simple logic."

Andrei seemed to want to say something, but stopped himself. His expression shifted for a long time before he sighed: "As expected of... you."

It wasn't until this moment that he felt a sense of admiration for Li Yu in his heart.

"Don't worry, if I really am going to die when the time comes, I'll drag you guys along to accompany me," Li Yu suddenly patted Andrei's shoulder and said.

Andrei: "..."

...

In the former territory of the Titan Civilization, within a very massive Base.

A Link Channel was also displayed here. The busy Staff Members stared nervously at the Holographic Screen; the progress bar had almost reached the very end.

The teleportation portal had already formed a translucent blue vortex.

In front of the Instruments, Hunter, wearing a denim outfit, walked over and stood side-by-side with Peyton.

He had grown a Big Beard at some unknown time. He pulled out a thick black cigar from his top pocket.

Rubbing his fingers, he lit the tip of the cigar, took a deep drag, and then exhaled a puff of gray smoke. Smacking his lips, he looked at Peyton and said, "Good stuff Loyd gave me a while ago. Want a taste?"

"I don't smoke this stuff; it affects my brain's thinking." Peyton's expression was indifferent.

"Relaxing appropriately isn't bad either..." Hunter shook his head. "You don't have any entertainment hobbies either. In private, quite a few people say you are a research-type Robot created by the Dragon Sovereign."

"Is there something you need?" Peyton frowned and asked.

"Loyd has already come to me for the third time. The Star Glory Empire is under quite a bit of pressure lately and wants the A-Tier Alliance to help share some of the burden." Hunter sighed and said:

"The problem is I'm not the Dragon Sovereign. If I issue some excessive orders, the A-Tier Alliance fundamentally won't pay attention. If there's no forceful reaction, it will instead make them suspicious."

"I came over to see when he can return."

"The Link Channel will be able to open very soon, but whether he will return is hard to say." Peyton shook his head, then asked again: "Has the Star Glory Empire's pressure already reached such an extent?"

"Mhm, some civilizations have already unequivocally resisted the Star Glory Empire's hegemonic rule. After Holivias inexplicably gained a Super Lifeform, they've been even more blatant." Hunter nodded.

"The Star Glory Empire suspects that there are people from the outside backing them."

"Moreover, there's a large amount of personnel gathering information on the Dragon Sovereign, as well as our whereabouts. It seems they want to make a move on us; the Star Glory Empire has already helped us cover up a lot."

"I suspect that Li Yu did something outside. Otherwise, why would that group of outsiders inexplicably search for our whereabouts?"

Hearing this, Peyton's eyes flickered, but he didn't speak. Instead, he looked towards the large screen and said: "The Link Channel... has opened."

In the next moment, the surrounding Instruments all began to sound with crackling Electric Arcs. The high load of electrical charges made it so these Instruments could also no longer bear it, as if they were about to disintegrate.

However, as the spatial vortex flowed faster and faster, a blurry figure slowly emerged from within.

Hunter couldn't help but take a fierce drag on the cigar in his hand, before throwing it on the ground. Through the hazy smoke he exhaled, he fixed his gaze on the figure stepping out.

(End of Chapter)

Chapter 853: The Predicament of the Star Glory Empire

However, when Hunter clearly saw the person who walked out of the teleportation portal, his expression tightened: "Andrei? How could it be you?"

Andrei glanced at Hunter but didn't speak. After looking around, he returned into the traditional channel.

Not long after, Li Yu finally walked out from it. After seeing the surrounding scene, he couldn't help but say: "Oh, you're all here..."

Hunter's expression then relaxed, and he simultaneously understood that the Andrei from just now was actually here to scout the way.

Li Yu only walked out from inside after ensuring there was no danger.

"You've finally returned..." The large stone in Hunter's heart finally fell to the ground, and he let out a long sigh of relief.

"What's wrong?" Hearing Hunter's tone, Li Yu keenly perceived that during the time he had been away, something had probably happened in this Interstellar space.

"It's hard to explain in a single sentence. Let's return to the Jade Void Palace first." Hunter opened his mouth, seeming not to know where to begin either, and so he said.

Li Yu nodded, then saw Peyton come closer and ask: "What is the situation in the outside Universe? Have you gathered clear information?"

"I've pretty much figured it out..." Li Yu casually took out a USB Drive and handed it to Peyton: "I knew you would be curious. Inside is the basic information of the outside Universe. Take a look."

Peyton treated it as if he had obtained a precious treasure and hurriedly accepted it, running to the side to inspect it. The group of researchers next to him also craned their necks, wanting to take a look.

That was all basic information and didn't contain any deeper secrets.

Hunter was also somewhat curious about this, but he didn't go over to join the fun.

The Dimensional Rift rapidly opened, and everyone returned to the Jade Void Palace.

His return naturally caused a sensation. Due to the special situation in this Interstellar space, his subordinates basically no longer operated outside and had all returned to the Jade Void Palace to stand by.

So, this time it was a rare sight for everyone to be gathered together, a massive, dense crowd.

Li Yu was somewhat surprised, and then became thoughtful.

"To think you all returned here. It looks like the situation in this Interstellar space is even worse than I imagined."

"It's good that you're back..." Sinai's temperament became increasingly elegant and poised. Having held a high position for a long time naturally cultivated a corresponding temperament.

It was just that the current Interstellar situation wasn't something she could influence either. Fortunately, Li Yu had returned.

After exchanging pleasantries with everyone for a while, Li Yu brought a few core members to the Main Hall.

The layout here was no different from when he left; it had been managed very well.

He casually sat in the main seat, looked around, and said: "Speak. What is the recent situation?"

Everyone fell silent for a moment, seeming to organize their words. Hunter was the first to speak: "Several large civilizations led by Holivias have been frequently generating friction with the Star Glory Empire."

"Recently, there is even a trend of it developing towards a war."

"Oh?" Li Yu was quite astonished. "Did they take the wrong medicine? Why did they suddenly fall out with the Star Glory Empire?"

"It's like this..." Sinai took over the conversation and said: "About half a year ago, the Star Glory Empire suddenly discovered that Holivias and the Spirit User civilization were secretly collecting some special materials."

"According to their intelligence, the materials collected by these two civilizations overlap with the materials previously collected by the Forerunners by more than eighty percent."

"The Star Glory Empire issued an inquiry regarding this, but these two civilizations didn't give any reply."

"The overlap with the materials collected by the Forerunners is more than eighty percent?" Li Yu pondered this sentence.

The Forerunners' purpose in collecting materials was to build a Link Channel device.

Could it be that these two civilizations also had a similar plan?

Hearing this, he suddenly said: "Did people from the outside arrive in this Interstellar space?"

"Yes..." Hunter nodded. "That's also what the Star Glory Empire speculates."

"Not long after the Star Glory Empire issued the inquiry, Holivias and the Star Glory Empire engaged in a battle in a certain Star Sector."

"During that battle, a Super Lifeform suddenly Suddenly Appear from Holivias, making the Star Glory Empire quite apprehensive."

"Subsequently, they began to act without any scruples, as if putting the matter out in the open."

"With the Star Glory Empire's strength, can't they handle a Super Lifeform?" Li Yu was somewhat confused.

Hunter sighed: "Holivias has one, and the Spirit Users had two Suddenly Appear. The two sides also seem to be somewhat at odds with each other, but currently, they have temporarily united to oppose the Star Glory Empire."

"Three Super Lifeforms; they should be from the Eternal Civilization and Civilization Zero respectively..." Li Yu estimated the time and found that only these two civilizations were suspects.

"Moreover, they are also very interested in you, using various methods to collect your information. Returning Star..." Speaking up to here, Hunter hesitated for a moment.

"Returning Star? What happened to Klein?" Li Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, his voice turning several degrees colder.

Seeing this expression on Li Yu, Hunter hurriedly said: "Klein is actually fine. Returning Star's Capital was attacked by an unknown Super Lifeform. The High Echelon used the Veil of Death to escort Klein away from the Capital."

"She is currently hiding in a certain secret Base."

Li Yu's eyes flickered, and he slowly nodded: "I already know the general situation. I will resolve them as soon as possible."

Whether it was the Titan Artifacts or news about himself, both would make Klein a target for attack.

Hearing this, Hunter hesitated a bit and said: "Holivias has the support of Outside Civilizations behind them. Sooner or later, they will fight the Star Glory Empire."

"We have no need to help the Star Glory Empire. Perhaps we can temporarily leave here and use the Link Channel to head to the outside."

"Leave here? Head to the outside..." Li Yu's expression became strange. Andrei couldn't help but touch his nose and sigh.

The reason he returned to this Interstellar space was precisely to evade pursuit and then maximize the improvement of his Strength.

If he were to drag his whole family to the outside world now, wouldn't that be Walk Into a Trap?

"What's wrong?"

Hunter also keenly noticed that the atmosphere was a bit off.

"I stirred up a bit of trouble outside. The outside world is far more dangerous than this Interstellar space," Li Yu said lightly. "Here there are just a few Super Lifeforms, which is very easy to handle."

"Stirred up a bit of trouble?" Hunter had a somewhat bad premonition. His lips trembled, but he still asked: "With your current life tier, what kind of trouble is it?"

A few Super Lifeforms weren't considered anything in Li Yu's eyes, yet he called the matters outside "trouble," which showed it wasn't ordinary.

Li Yu thought for a moment and said: "To summarize roughly, the outside world has five ruling civilizations. The kind that stands above all other civilizations, each one at a similar tier to the Titan Civilization."

Hunter nodded, waiting for the rest.

"I provoked three of them..."

Hunter subconsciously nodded, then suddenly widened his eyes, astonished inwardly.

What the hell?

Provoked three?

How long have you even been out?

This efficiency is too high!

"Which three?" Peyton, who had been studying the outside information next to them, suddenly asked.

"Eternal, Zero, Iron-Blood..." Li Yu said, then added: "And due to some special reasons, the remaining two are also Covetously Staring at me."

"As expected of you..." Hunter squeezed out a few words through gritted teeth, then inexplicably started laughing again.

"Scared crazy?" Li Yu looked suspiciously at the laughing Hunter.

"Get out of here..." Hunter said grumpily. "I just feel a Strange Déjà Vu with all these scenes."

"I always feel like I've experienced this kind of scene at some point."

"Sigh, I can't help it either. Many things are leftover problems, impossible to change." Li Yu also sighed.

Hearing this, the others didn't have much of a reaction.

This was mainly because this tier was too far removed from them, making it difficult to truly experience the pressure.

"Do you have a plan?" Hunter asked. Although they were quite shocked at first, they had actually faced this kind of situation many times.

"Let's develop first."

Hunter echoed: "Mhm, this Interstellar space is also quite safe. There's plenty of time to develop."

"Forgot to tell you, they formed some Great Universe Alliance and are going to unite to explore this area. It won't be safe here for much longer," Li Yu thoughtfully informed Hunter.

Hunter: "..."

Wouldn't it be better to just let me die in ignorance!?

"Haha..." Seeing Hunter's Utterly Dejected expression, Li Yu couldn't help but laugh loudly: "Actually, it's not that desperate."

"Wait for me to clean up this Interstellar space first."

For the first step, he planned to find all the Titan Artifacts and let all the Primal Transformers evolve into Super Lifeforms.

To see if there were any more fancy tricks with the [Covenant of Primus].

However, the Super Lifeforms of the Eternal Civilization and Civilization Zero were a hidden danger if left alone, and must be eliminated as soon as possible.

...

In a Secret Conference Room of the Star Glory Empire, the Emperor sat upright in the main seat, but the Aura on his body was somewhat turbulent.

There was also a new face in the eight-person small group—the newly appointed Sissoko.

"The third negotiation is about to begin. The resistance alliance gathered by Holivias has already set off and is preparing to head towards our borders. A war could break out at any time."

Loren stated the general situation. The atmosphere was completely silent, Gloomy and dismal.

"They demand that we hand over a series of relevant materials, otherwise they will start a war."

"What on earth do they want those materials for!?" the newly appointed Sissoko couldn't help but say.

Loren shook his head: "We don't know. The Forerunners collected a large portion of those materials, and later the Transformation Legion also collected a portion, and another portion was intercepted by us..."

"Rare materials like 'Void Energy Particles' and 'Kannar Crystal Cores' are no longer in circulation on the market. Currently, they are only stored in our Warehouses."

"Why don't we just give it to them," someone said abruptly.

"No!" The Emperor refused resolutely. "Although we don't know what they are collecting the materials for, it must be very important to those outsiders."

"To hand over those materials just to fight for a breathing space is unwise."

Mozambique frowned and said: "But once a war starts, we will be dragged into this quagmire. Those outsiders only treat Holivias and the others as consumables and don't care at all."

"Is there still no news from the Dragon Sovereign? Right now, I just want to know what exactly those materials are used for?" The Emperor then asked.

"No, they are being vague about this." Loren shook his head.

"The Other-Dimensional Camp is not a civilization. They don't need to hold out like we do, nor will they stand on our side. Don't count on them." Mozambique shook his head and sighed:

"In this Interstellar space, we have no Allies; we can only rely on ourselves."

Loren's eyes flickered, and he didn't say anything about this either.

"Hmph, if it weren't for us, his Concubine Klein would have died long ago. We've also helped his people many times, yet now he won't even give us a single piece of news!" Morgan also voiced his dissatisfaction.

"Enough, go prepare. If they want to fight, then we fight!" The Emperor said in a deep voice.

The several Noble Controllers looked at each other. They seemed to want to say something, but ultimately none did, and they logged off one after another.

Only Loren was left facing the Emperor.

"Some people's wills are wavering." The Emperor's expression was cold.

"As expected." Loren spoke calmly.

The Emperor's eyes were indifferent: "If I were willing to compromise, it wouldn't even be their turn."

"Can a civilization that has lost its independence still be called a civilization?"

Actually, it wasn't that no one had contacted the Emperor. After all, as the most powerful civilization in this Interstellar space, they were the best cooperation partners.

However, they were all directly rejected by him.

"That is a despair-inducing power." Loren spoke again, a complex look also revealing itself in his eyes.

The lifeforms from the outside world had been in this civilization for some time now, and they had more or less leaked some information.

Including when they tried to win over the Emperor, they had also leaked some.

Just from a few fragments of words, one could deduce their formidable strength.

Facing such power, the Star Glory Empire had almost no room to resist.

"The Barren Universe Zone is not that easy to break through. We still have time to make up the gap." The Emperor's tone was faint, and the Energy Fluctuation in his body was once again turbulent.

"Has the wound left behind from last time still not been dealt with?" Loren inquired.

"The nature of that Mechanical Lifeform's Energy is very strange. It possesses strong corrosive and parasitic properties, continuously neutralizing the Cells in my body and infecting them." After being silent for a moment, the Emperor said:

"It's equivalent to him developing his Base inside my body."

"His Strength far exceeds ours. He must have gone very far on the evolutionary path following the Super Lifeform stage."

Loren Hesitated to Speak, and inwardly sighed.

From this point alone, one could tell that many gaps could not be made up simply by time.

It was just that he didn't say this sentence out loud.

(End of Chapter)

Chapter 854: Wishing to "Eternity"!

In this Interstellar space, the Quantum Network was interconnected, making the spread of information faster and more convenient.

And the sudden changes in the Interstellar situation were also known and discussed by more of the lower-class Citizens.

They didn't know what kind of stimulation the originally Simple-minded Holy Vias Civilization had received to suddenly declare war on the Star Glory Empire so unequivocally.

This wasn't deterrence and confrontation; their fleet had already set off, and a fight could break out at any time.

An Interstellar War was arriving in the blink of an eye. This kind of change made it difficult for many ordinary Citizens to accept.

The vast majority of Citizens hadn't encountered the concept of war in their entire lives, living in an atmosphere of peace.

This unforeseen event made the entire Interstellar populace panic-stricken, and all eyes converged on the so-called Combined Expeditionary Fleet.

Outside the borders of the Star Glory Empire, a boundless fleet hovered in an array formation in the Interstellar space.

Within an Interstellar Fortress, several lifeforms were gathered together. In front of them was a holographic projection displaying the troop deployment of the Star Glory Empire.

"The Star Glory Empire has already given a clear reply. They will not accept any conditions. Either retreat or go to war."

The Commander of the Combined Expeditionary Fleet was a Big Beard from the Holy Vias Civilization, and also a High Echelon general.

"Then let's fight." Another figure at the Table spoke. Its surface was covered with Metal Armor, except the color was somewhat layered.

It seemed to be pieced together using two different materials.

"It's just that..." The Big Beard said, somewhat troubled: "Our head-on Strength cannot possibly be a match for the Star Glory Empire."

"Although the United Fleet has a large number, the quality is a tier below the main battle fleets of the Star Glory Empire."

"There's also us." On the other side, two figures were also sitting, their voices muffled.

"Since this Star Glory Empire refuses to realize their errors, we will naturally make them understand what a true gap is."

The Mechanical Lifeform scanned the two of them. On what should have been a stiff mechanical face, a tone of ridicule could actually be seen: "A true gap?"

"I heard that you two attacked that Returning Star but Gained Nothing."

"That's because someone helped them!" one of them shouted. "Willard, don't think that just because we're temporarily cooperating now, we won't make a move against you."

"Make a move against me? Then who will check and balance the Lord-tier Lifeforms of the Star Glory Empire?" Willard wasn't nervous and said: "Although the Strength of their Lord-tier Lifeforms is only about the same as yours, they have the advantage in numbers."

"Without me, relying only on you two, are you a match?"

Willard's words made the two of them To turn pale in shock, staring fixedly at him. The Big Beard next to them was Silent as a Winter Cicada, his head covered in cold sweat.

He was deeply afraid that these ancestors would start fighting on the spot.

"Hmph, if it weren't for us, wouldn't you also only be able to Flee in disarray?" one of them coldly snorted and retorted.

Facing the Star Glory Empire alone, neither of their factions had the confidence to win.

So they had to unite together to be able to apply pressure on this Star Glory Empire.

But the other person suddenly laughed again: "Willard, I heard you've been searching for traces of that Dragon Sovereign all along. It's a pity you've always Gained Nothing."

Willard's mechanical pupils slowly rotated, but he didn't take the bait.

"I'm very curious, why are you searching for a person you've never been in contact with in this Interstellar space?"

They had entered this Interstellar space a long time ago and fundamentally didn't know about the matters Li Yu had Stir up trouble in the outside world.

"This has nothing to do with you."

"How does it have nothing to do with us?" One of them pulled up a portion of the information and data and said: "To have evolved to this extent at less than a hundred years of age, we are also very curious."

"Moreover, the Transformation Legion he commands seems somewhat similar to you guys."

"Could it be that there's some connection between you?"

In this Interstellar space, the highest record regarding Li Yu's Strength was only reaching the A5 Peak.

However, given his age, it was already shocking enough.

Willard didn't say a word. He was also very puzzled by this Transformation Legion.

That was clearly not ordinary mechanical technology.

He indeed wanted to carefully study it, but unfortunately, the other party simply didn't give him this opportunity.

After discovering that someone was investigating them, they decisively restrained their traces of activity and hid inside the Dimensional Ship.

In his Database, there were related records about the Dimensional Ship, which was a special world forged by the Void Realm Titan.

It possessed extremely high concealment properties and was very difficult to find under normal circumstances.

At least by himself, without any clues, it would be very difficult to find their specific location. He could only give up on this and think of a way to search again after the Eternal army entered this Interstellar space.

"It has nothing to do with you." Willard still maintained this sentence.

"Heh, don't worry, we will definitely find him before you. After we study him clearly, we will give you the relevant intelligence." The two from Civilization Zero contained hidden mockery.

Willard was equally full of anger: "Then just wait and see."

They didn't converse on the topic of "Dragon Sovereign" for too long; it was just a topic to attack each other.

Perhaps... in the outside world, that guy has already been captured.

Willard pondered inwardly. Him collecting relevant information was just taking precautions.

He believed that with Ultimate Intelligence's abilities, this Dragon Sovereign definitely wouldn't be able to escape for long in the outside world before being captured.

And these two Idiots in front of him fundamentally knew nothing.

This Dragon Sovereign is definitely not simple. We can't let the Eternal Civilization Get a Head Start.

The two from Civilization Zero were also pondering inwardly. They were very curious as to why Willard paid so much attention to this Dragon Sovereign.

Unfortunately, relying merely on a portion of the information from this Interstellar space, it was very difficult for them to find out anything.

They were both very dissatisfied with each other, but they restrained themselves and hadn't completely fallen out.

If they couldn't collect enough materials to forge the relevant equipment to connect with the outside world.

No matter how powerful their civilizations were in the outside world, if they couldn't enter, it would be useless.

...

At the same time, Loyd, as the general commander of the Star Glory Empire, also personally oversaw the frontlines to respond to any unforeseen events.

"Your Royal Highness, the current location of the United Fleet is near the Baroque Star Ring. They haven't made any further moves..." In front of the Holographic Screen, a member of the Think Tank pointed at the barrier and said:

"If we want to launch a surprise attack, it's best to assault from here, here... and here."

"However, we must guard against the Super Lifeforms that might appear. We don't understand their Strength very well."

"Mhm." Loyd nodded, frowning tightly as he carefully looked at the Star Map.

This was a large-scale war, and it was also his first time controlling a war of this tier, making him somewhat nervous.

For some unknown reason, Li Yu's figure flashed through his mind.

I wonder if that guy actually became a Super Lifeform, or if he turned into cosmic ashes.

There's been no news for so long; he probably turned into cosmic ashes.

Why did I suddenly think of him?Loyd shook his head and refocused his attention on the war before him.

Actually, he had always considered Li Yu his competitor; he just had never shown it.

Right at this moment, his Smart Terminal vibrated slightly. He casually glanced at it, but it was as if he were struck by lightning. He abruptly stood up, startling the generals and Think Tank Members around him.

"Your Royal Highness, what's wrong?" they asked.

Loyd looked at his Smart Terminal. There was a message on it, and it was precisely from Li Yu—

"Are those few Super Lifeforms in this fleet?"

This guy successfully evolved?

"You successfully evolved?" he couldn't help but ask.

"Pretty much. Stop with the nonsense. Are you certain those guys are in the fleet?" Li Yu quickly replied.

Success is success, and failure is failure. What do you mean 'pretty much'?

Loyd frowned slightly, then looked up and asked: "What is the probability of confirming that those Super Lifeforms are in this fleet?"

Everyone froze for a moment, and someone quickly answered: "According to our information and intelligence analysis, there is a probability of over eighty percent."

"Because comparing the armed forces of both sides, the United Fleet's probability of defeating us is no more than thirty percent."

"If they didn't have something to rely on, it would be impossible for them to launch this war."

"Moreover, according to the reports from our scouts..."

Loyd didn't finish listening and directly replied: "80%"

He waited for a while, but there was no response.

He couldn't help but send another message: "They are all veteran Super Lifeforms. Especially that Mechanical Lifeform behind Holivias; he seems to have entered another tier."

"Last time, we besieged him, and The Emperor was seriously injured. If not for the other party's Corporeal Form being incomplete, I'm afraid..."

There was still no response. Loyd's expression was Moody.

This guy wouldn't be this impulsive, right? He just became a Super Lifeform and he wants to take on three at once?

And one of them is extremely powerful.

He abruptly raised his head and shouted a question: "Do we have detection Spaceships around the United Fleet?"

"Yes, but a few were discovered previously, so we didn't dare get too close."

"Quickly, have them approach the United Fleet. I want to know anything that happens later!" he ordered.

"Anything that happens later?"

A question mark slowly popped up over everyone's heads, but they didn't dare neglect his orders and quickly passed them down.

...

And at this moment, Li Yu transformed into a streak of Flowing Light, streaking across the Starry Universe at extreme speed, heading towards his target.

He needed to resolve the targets in one go; otherwise, once these Super Lifeforms hid, it would be very difficult for him to find their traces.

That was why he asked Loyd, wanting to use the Star Glory Empire's channels to confirm this matter.

Dealing with three small fry didn't bring much pressure. Li Yu even had the mind to think about other things.

"I wonder if that idea will actually work or not..."

Shortly after he returned to this Interstellar space, the Avatar Number One, staggered with Number Three and Number Two, also finished its cooldown and was deployed.

And among the three worlds searched this time, there was [Thor's World], which was a fairly decent world.

He was only missing the last of the Infinity Stones. However, there were no signs of the Soul Gem appearing in this [Thor's World] either.

But he remembered that there was a relatively special existence in this world, a wishing machine—Eternity.

So, a magical idea popped into his head—

[Make a wish to Eternity to make the main body invincible]

This was the task he gave Number One. It was quite opportunistic, and Li Yu didn't know if it was feasible.

After all, up to now, he still didn't know if these so-called "worlds" truly existed.

He could now shatter the cosmic Void at will, but after shattering the cosmic Void, there were only endless Void Storms; he couldn't traverse worlds at all.

Moreover, the one making the wish was an Avatar. Whether Eternity could understand the concept of a "main body" was a problem in itself.

Not to mention the concept of "invincible," which had almost no upper limit.

It was hard to say whether Eternity itself was invincible or not.

However, there was no loss in trying.

Finding Eternity wasn't a simple matter either. Coupled with Number One's habit of acting up, it should take some time.

Just as these thoughts arose in his mind, his body had actually charged into the United Fleet's encampment.

All the battleships discovered this uninvited guest at the same time.

But they could only perceive that this was a high-energy mass; they couldn't even perform a conventional lock-on.

Not only was it because the energy mass was moving fast, but also because the other party's surface was shrouded in a formless force field, causing all Radars to fail.

And the three people, including Willard, inside the Interstellar Fortress simultaneously looked in a certain direction through the bulkhead.

They also discovered this Aura, a lifeform belonging to their tier.

"A Lord-tier Lifeform? A very unfamiliar Aura..." The image on Willard's Tactical Display continuously magnified, and various Information-State Lock technologies came into play.

Ordinary lock-ons were fundamentally ineffective against Super Lifeforms.

Soon, he saw the figure inside through that Energy Field, but it almost made his intelligent System crash.

"How could it be him!?"

"How could he possibly appear here!?"

This person who had already charged into this fleet was impressively the Dragon Sovereign he had been searching for all along.

But, shouldn't he be in the outside world?

He had deeply experienced the terror of the Rule Entanglement Area. If he hadn't been quite lucky, he wouldn't have had the chance to break in at all.

But how could this guy return in such a short time?

Could they be twins?

The incomprehensible current situation made a ridiculous thought pop into Willard's mind.

Boom!

While he was pondering, Li Yu had already charged into the core of the fleet, heading towards this iconic command ship.

The other party showed absolutely no intention of slowing down, the energy Flowing Light trailing far behind him.

Like a Divine Arrow piercing the sun, he directly smashed his way in, penetrating the entire Interstellar Fortress. The core Energy Reaction furnace directly exploded.

The fiery light of the explosion filled the pupils of every soldier.
