"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."

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..."
