Chapter 884: Noble Young Lady and Ghost Fire Youth

The Tree of Kabbalah, a Special Item created using the Chaos Virus as its primary material.

It is a foundation-level Technology and item currently being developed by the Kabbalah Civilization.

Since the day of its development, the Tree of Kabbalah has gone through several stages, and currently, there are infant samples.

However, the entire Kabbalah Civilization only has four infant samples.

Li Yu originally hadn't expected that this guy would actually bring an infant sample of the Tree of Kabbalah.

Although this thing was in an infant state, the power it erupted with could not be underestimated in the slightest.

It was essentially composed of the Chaos Virus but was much more weaponized.

Just now, when he held it in his own hand, he felt a fatal threat.

However, he possessed the Symbiotic Colonization Armor and directly pressed it into an inlay slot. This way, there was no danger to him whatsoever.

Possession: The liquid nature of the Tree of Kabbalah allows it to attach to a Host Body.]

The description was very simple, roughly matching Li Yu's guesses.

However, this thing was only in an infant form, and he didn't know how to make it undergo Evolution.

The Kabbalah Civilization had been dedicating itself to this for many years recently without much good progress either.

And the one who found this most unbelievable was Arnel. This Tree of Kabbalah was the backup plan for dealing with the Five Great Civilizations.

Once the deployment of the Chaos Virus was blocked, or if the reaction time of the Five Great Civilizations exceeded their imagination.

Then Arnel would completely release this Tree of Kabbalah.

They hadn't found a way to let the Tree of Kabbalah grow healthily under controllable conditions.

But if the restraints on the Tree of Kabbalah were completely liberated, it would grow in a barbaric manner, which was a form even the Kabbalah Civilization couldn't control.

At the same time, the destructive power it would erupt with would be far stronger than the original Chaos Virus.

Arnel had thought for a long time about using this Tree of Kabbalah.

In the end, he believed that using this Tree of Kabbalah on the Dragon Sovereign would yield a value that was entirely acceptable.

That's why he designed this Trap, wanting to use the Tree of Kabbalah to make Li Yu Walk Into a Trap.

This way, he wouldn't have to engage in frontal combat with the other party.

It could even be said that if the Dragon Sovereign's vigilance was not high, perhaps the Tree of Kabbalah could even gain some growth instead of being completely destroyed.

The plan had proceeded quite normally, even advancing along the most perfect path he had envisioned.

Perhaps because the Dragon Sovereign was extremely confident in his own Strength, he touched the Tree of Kabbalah with his Physical body without any vigilance.

In this case, the Tree of Kabbalah could exert its most powerful effect, directly eroding his Physical body. As long as he contained the Tree of Kabbalah at the last moment, they could perfectly capture the Dragon Sovereign.

But the scene that happened next made it hard for him to understand.

The other party had clearly already been eroded by the Tree of Kabbalah, so why had he suddenly returned to normal now?

Even the Tree of Kabbalah itself had disappeared!?

The surrounding Kabbalah Tribesmen realized something was wrong and quickly stepped forward, surrounding Li Yu.

Including their leader, there were a total of three Super Lifeforms.

This number wasn't considered many, but it wasn't few either.

"The price you invested is not small. You actually took out the Tree of Kabbalah." Li Yu reached out his hand, and strands of black filaments extended from his arm.

This was exactly the characteristic brought about by [Possession], allowing him to use the Tree of Kabbalah more meticulously.

"The tentacles of the Tree of Kabbalah... You... You... How did you do that!?"

Arnel hadn't recovered from his previous shock before he witnessed a scene that shocked him even more.

What was coiling around the other party's arm was obviously the branches of the Tree of Kabbalah.

Bringing the Tree of Kabbalah under complete control was an insurmountable problem even within the Kabbalah Civilization.

The Tree of Kabbalah, with the Chaos Virus as its foundational material, inherently contained uncontrollable characteristics.

Just creating the infant Tree of Kabbalah had already cost the Kabbalah Civilization a tremendous price, let alone completely controlling it.

But this guy right in front of him had successfully controlled the Tree of Kabbalah upon his very first touch, and it was such meticulous control at that. It was truly unimaginable.

"Who exactly are you!? Why do you understand the Kabbalah Civilization so well?" Arnel couldn't help but ask.

"Don't you already know who I am?" Li Yu's tone was indifferent. The black tentacles in his hands shot out fiercely, like black Long Spears, directly piercing through the surrounding Kabbalah soldiers.

Only those two Super Lifeforms still had the capital to resist.

But all the attacks they unleashed were silently eroded by the black tentacles, and their range of activity was constantly shrinking. They would be eroded very soon.

"A very good attack method..." Li Yu nodded slightly. Its lethality met the standard, and it possessed some unique properties.

"Originally, I really wanted to cooperate with you guys. After all, there isn't any concrete conflict between us." He shook his head and said, "Who knew you would pull this stunt on me."

Arnel's face was taut, and he didn't utter a word. If he could have foreseen the development of events, naturally, he wouldn't have done this.

But even their own civilization hadn't fully applied the Tree of Kabbalah.

How could he have ever imagined that someone who had never been in contact with the Kabbalah Civilization could directly control it.

"How are you planning to deal with me?" Arnel recognized the situation before him and forced himself to regain his calm.

"I want the Virus Core. Hmm... There should be relevant information in those Spaceships that can lead to your temporary Headquarters here." Li Yu pondered.

"In that case, you don't hold much value anymore. Be compost for my tree. Of course... I'm referring to another tree."

"Anyway, your civilization is far from here, so they probably won't come running over to avenge you."

"Are you planning to leak the coordinates of the Kabbalah Civilization to the Five Great Civilizations?" Arnel didn't care much about his own life or death; he just didn't want a wrong decision of his to bring the flames of war back to his own civilization.

Therefore, he said, "The decision to ambush you was made by me alone and has nothing to do with my civilization. I hope you won't misdirect your anger onto it and make it draw fire for you."

"Ha..." Li Yu couldn't help but be amused, saying, "Do I look like such an irrational person?"

"Even if I leak the coordinates to the Five Great Civilizations, it will take them at least a thousand years to go from prospecting, exploring, estimating your Strength, estimating the cost of war, to an actual expedition."

"It fundamentally wouldn't serve the purpose of diverting fire for me."

"A thousand years? Is that very long?" Arnel was somewhat puzzled, not understanding why Li Yu would use this Excuse to explain why he wouldn't leak the coordinates.

"..."

Li Yu waved his hand, saying, "I can't be bothered to explain it to you. Under normal circumstances, I wouldn't bother leaking your coordinates either."

"I trust that Your Excellency Dragon Lord's word is worth its weight in gold. Our Kabbalah Civilization loves peace..." Arnel breathed a sigh of relief, but his words were interrupted before he could finish.

"I didn't promise you anything. Besides, words like 'the Kabbalah Civilization loves peace' might trick those who don't know," Li Yu said with a hint of mockery.

"The Tanbut Civilization, that Ethnic Group that looks like crawfish, weren't they all used as experimental materials by you guys?"

"Things like mass genocide are rarely done even by the Five Great Civilizations. You call this loving peace?"

Arnel instantly shut his mouth, looking at Li Yu in bewildered shock.

He was still a bit confused when the other party mentioned the Tanbut Civilization, but when he said "looks like crawfish," he understood.

That was something that happened when the Kabbalah Civilization was conquering small civilizations in the surrounding areas.

This incident had been deliberately downplayed within the Kabbalah Civilization. Unless one was a specialized historian, they wouldn't know about this.

How did this guy know about it?

The Dragon Sovereign had too many secrets on him. Arnel now understood why those major civilizations cared so much about the Dragon Sovereign.

If it weren't for his insufficient Strength, he would really want to dissect the other party right now to see exactly how this guy knew all these things.

The Energy Fluctuations around them gradually subsided. Under the offensive of the Tree of Kabbalah, those two Super Lifeforms gradually lost their Vital Signs.

Li Yu immediately took out the Tree of Life, preparing to replenish some nutrients for the child.

Logically speaking, the Tree of Life had Devoured quite a few Super Lifeforms over this long period, so it should have reached the adult stage long ago.

As a result, it still looked sickly now, all because Li Yu had squeezed it too hard.

In several battles that exceeded normal specifications, the Tree of Life had played extremely important roles, being squeezed dry until not a drop was left every time.

However, this time, when he took out the Tree of Life, he felt something different.

This feeling didn't come from the Tree of Kabbalah, but from the black tentacles in his hand.

"You want it?" Li Yu looked at the black tentacle in his hand in surprise. This thing was completely composed of liquid substance.

The black liquid substance coiled in his hand, eventually turning into a black tree-like object. It extended a black tentacle that actually headed straight towards the Tree of Life.

The moment the two touched, the Tree of Life looked as if it had been stimulated by something and hurriedly shrank back.

The Tree of Kabbalah twisted its branches, like a Male Organism in heat showing off its majestic body.

But the Tree of Life remained unmoved, continuing to Absorb nutrients from the corpses of the Super Lifeforms, with strands of golden substance flowing through its branches.

"With your dry-twig appearance, you're pretty much like a spirited Ghost Fire Youth, and you still want to chase after a Noble Young Lady?" Li Yu watched Speechlessly.

However, he also found it strange why the Tree of Kabbalah would undergo such a change.

So, he looked at Arnel and asked, "What's going on? Can this sapling also go into heat?"

"You don't know?" Arnel looked at the Dragon Sovereign in surprise.

"This is your thing, how could I know?" Li Yu said, looking as if it were a matter of course.

From what I can see, your level of understanding of the Tree of Kabbalah seems even higher than ours.

Arnel secretly shook his head and said, "I don't know what's going on either. It should be that the Tree of Kabbalah thinks this tree is beneficial to it."

"Even if it's beneficial, I can't let you eat it..." Li Yu looked at the black tree-like object with disgust. "The Tree of Life is my important logistics support."

The black tentacle swayed. It possessed no Self-awareness; everything was merely out of instinct.

However, after the Tree of Life finished eating, it seemed to react to the Tree of Kabbalah, extending a pale golden tentacle to tentatively make contact with it.

One black and one gold, the two tentacles slowly merged. They seemed to be undergoing some complex material exchange, with black and gold intertwining and gradually fusing.

"Damn, seeking lust when full and warm, huh? I provide you with good food and drink, and you can actually take a fancy to this dead tree branch?"

Watching the scene before him, an inexplicable emotion arose in Li Yu's heart, an emotion that even he himself felt Speechless about.

"What am I thinking..."

Neither of these two things had Self-awareness; they were just acting on instinct.

Since the Tree of Life also began to actively make contact, it meant that this was beneficial to it as well.

Shaking his head, Li Yu carefully pondered: "It doesn't seem to be a one-sided Devouring, but a fusion. If that's the case, it's not something I can't consider."

He originally thought the Tree of Kabbalah simply wanted to Devour the Tree of Life.

But now it seemed that wasn't the case. If the two were fusing, it would inevitably retain the characteristics of the Tree of Life. As long as it could supply Life Energy, it was acceptable to Li Yu.

"In that case, let's let you guys try." Li Yu thought for a moment. According to common sense, this fusion should develop in a positive direction.

He simply let go of his constraints on both, allowing them to develop freely.

Originally, under his control, these two trees were quite restrained. As soon as he released his control, he witnessed a crazy scene.

Countless black-gold tentacles extended from both of them and then intertwined together.

It was as if the contact between those two tentacles just now had let them taste the forbidden fruit.

So what was presented before Li Yu was a rather outrageous scene.

The black wave intertwined with the golden wave, constantly dissipating special Energy Fluctuations. The Tree of Life radiated a hazy golden light, its branches straight, looking as elegant and luxurious as ever.

Meanwhile, the Tree of Kabbalah was covered in surging black liquid, and its size was less than one percent of the Tree of Life. Its appearance was as ugly as could be.

However, under the pulling of countless intertwining tentacles, the two gradually converged towards the center, eventually being completely wrapped by the black-gold wave, forming a massive sphere.

Black and gold intertwined and surged, giving off a strong feeling of taking the earth as a bed and the sky as a blanket.

The one who was even more dumbfounded than Li Yu was definitely Arnel.

The Kabbalah Civilization hadn't been researching the Tree of Kabbalah for just a day or two.

It could even be said that the Tree of Kabbalah was created entirely by their hands.

Yet he had never seen a scene like this either.
