Chapter 434: Killing Horus
As agreed with Horus, Li Yu did not use any means to stimulate fighting power, but just responded in the most normal state.
In this state, Li Yu's combat energy level is less than one million.
Horus was naturally at ease. Facing the red laser shot out from Li Yu's eyes, he did not resist at all. The armor on the surface of his body was enough to block most of the attacks.
The cheers of the audience around rose and fell in a certain pattern, as if they were programmed.
Li Yu knew that this space was just a virtual arena, and he discovered this pattern at the first moment.
But Horus didn't think about it for the time being.
"What is this old guy doing? Why doesn't he just surrender?" Li Yu thought to himself. If he found out that the audience around him were virtual illusions, he wouldn't know what he would suspect.
Therefore, we need to resolve the issue quickly!
Thinking of this, he sped up his attack and reminded, "Sir Horus, there is no need for us to waste too much time here."
Horus was still observing the space around him. As a powerful figure in Guixing, he had an excellent eye and had already observed many cutting-edge technologies from this space.
The extensibility and stability of space are extremely strong, which is something that the current Guixing cannot achieve.
He deliberately stretched the battlefield, but could never find the limit of the ring.
Hearing Li Yu's urging, he frowned slightly. There were too many loopholes in Li Yu's words, but he couldn't pursue them one by one.
It should be no problem if you just let the water get defeated .
With this thought in mind, Horus took a deep breath, and the black armor covering his chest gradually disappeared.
Li Yu's eyes suddenly brightened up. Fortunately, the old man Horus did not go back on his word.
Then the two pretended to fight for a while, and Horus even felt a little suspicious that such a serious match could still make the audience cheer.
As soon as this thought came to his mind, he keenly noticed that the cheers from the audience around him seemed inexplicably familiar.
He had just been observing the space around him and had not paid attention to the sounds, but as soon as he paid attention, he felt something was wrong.
Bang!
Horus unconsciously raised his fist to block, lightning burst out, and his battle with Li Yu was completely stress-free, as he could observe his surroundings while fighting.
However, the next moment, his pupils suddenly contracted, and a majestic aura rose from Li Yu, which was completely different from before.
What is he going to do?
Horus subconsciously felt something was wrong, but this was just the beginning.
As the distance between the two was extremely close, Li Yu's right fist had already hit his chest, and then the [Symbiotic Reproductive Suit] covering the surface of his fist faded away.
The extremely dazzling [Infinity Gauntlet] was revealed, the purple gems were dazzling, and terrifying power was brewing and bursting out.
"I'm sorry, Lord Horus..." Li Yu said with a little apology.
Oh no, he's going to kill me! ?
Horus finally reacted, his heart filled with astonishment, and he couldn't help but think about why. Black mist condensed on the surface of his chest, trying to turn into armor.
But it's too late!
The extremely dazzling [Infinity Gauntlet] penetrated his chest directly through the black mist that was about to condense.
Phew!
A flash of blood appeared, and a still-throbbing unknown object popped out from behind him, fell to the ground, and rolled far away.
Horus' pupils dilated as powerful force burst out from his body. The surface of his body gradually cracked, and purple light shone through the cracks in his skin.
As he was seriously injured and his strength was only one hundredth of what it was, he had no chance of resisting the surprise attack launched by Li Yu.
"Why...why?" Horus looked down at the [Infinity Gauntlet] that had sunk into his chest.
Many suspicions had crossed his mind before, but he never thought that Li Yu wanted to kill him.
Because the other party has no motive at all, what can be done by killing him? What can be gained?
Gui Xing and Li Yu did not fall out, and there was still a little ambiguity between them, so there was no need to kill him.
So this is why even though he doubted Li Yu's purpose of asking him to let go, he still fulfilled his promise in the end.
I never thought of that!
"I'll explain it later..." Horus couldn't understand Li Yu's words, and he no longer had the chance to think.
Bang!
Horus' body exploded in front of Li Yu, turning into purple powder and drifting away in the wind.
"The battle is over in 261 seconds!"
"Assess the difference in rank between the two sides, the time taken... determine the duel level - S!"
"Please check the rewards..."
The pleasant voice rang in Li Yu's ears, making him smile involuntarily.
The bright blue light condensed into a virtual screen in front of Li Yu.
[S-level duel rewards——
Power Enhancement Potion S*1
Gene development drug S*1
Faith Reserve Crystal S*1】
Since Li Yu is a genetically evolved being with superpowers and is a god, three rewards were given out based on his own evolutionary path.
[Superpower Development Potion S: Greatly increases superpower strength . 】
[Gene Development Drug S: Greatly improves the progress of gene chain development. ]
[Faith Reserve Crystal S: Stores a large amount of pure faith]
When Li Yu saw these rewards, his eyes widened. His efforts to fool Horus were not in vain.
This result is definitely worth it!
And this is just the reward for the [Virtual Duel Arena].
There are also loot provided by [Bounty Hunter's Hunt].
[The target is dead, please choose the spoils——
Superpower - Black Knight: Covered in an indestructible ancient armor, with extremely strong elemental resistance.
Gene chain——A-level blood exquisite bird: has the ability to repair quickly.
Gene Chain - A-level Thunder Tyrannosaurus: Powerful thunder control ability and physical strength.
Gene chain - A-level Kuya mad lion: powerful physical strength.
Gene chain - A-level Void Star Tiger: powerful physical strength and short-distance shuttle ability.
……】
Although Horus is a mutant, it does not prevent him from strengthening his power again through genetic evolution.
What Li Yu didn't expect was that he was actually an A4-level gene evolver and had replaced four underlying gene chains.
This is not recorded in many materials, so it can be said that no one knows about this.
I only thought that Horus' strength came from that armor, but in fact, that armor was not very powerful according to the system description.
Li Yu's eyes flickered. No wonder he could withstand the golden crown head-on without dying.
Developing gene chains is not an easy task. A person’s energy is limited and it is difficult to do both at the same time.
But Horus was able to keep pace.
[Battle experience: Contains Horus's thousands of years of battle experience. ]
[Private property: Contains the wealth accumulated by Horus over a long period of time. ]
【……】
This loot does contain a lot of things, but most of them are of no value to Li Yu.
What attracted him most was not [Superpower - Black Knight], but another thing -
[Superpower - Cellular Activity Proliferation: The activity of cells in the body increases significantly, and the gene chain can be developed slowly and autonomously. ]
Li Yu did not expect that Horus actually had two superpowers. This [superpower - cell activity proliferation] was also the reason why he could make rapid progress on the road of genetic evolution.
However, there is no similar record in all the available information, even in the information within Guixing.
This shows how deeply Horus is hiding.
[ Superpower - Cell Activity Proliferation] Compared with [Superpower - Black Knight], Li Yu chose the former without hesitation.
After all, [Superpower - Black Knight], to some extent, overlaps with the ability of his [Symbiotic Suit].
As he finished processing and received all the rewards, the environment in front of him gradually dissipated and turned into the cabin environment again.
Horus was still standing in front of Li Yu, but his eyes moved slightly, and the terrifying wind pressure spread out, and the metal around him made a twisting sound under the heavy weight.
The black armor instantly covered his entire body. His eyes were fierce and he exuded the aura of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.
Without hesitation, he attacked Li Yu in front of him.
Bang!
Li Yu had anticipated this scene a long time ago. Horus inexplicably resurrected from death, and there would definitely be an extremely intense reaction.
Therefore, he also activated his full strength. He held the black fist with both hands. The terrifying force made him retreat uncontrollably, and the metal ground under his feet was constantly squeezed.
A shrill alarm sounded.
Li Yu felt his blood boiling, but it was much better than before. It seemed that all the good things he had just used had taken effect.
"Lord Horus, calm down, calm down, you are not dead, you are still alive and well." Li Yu hurriedly explained.
Horus now reacted, the heart-piercing pain disappeared, and his chest was intact.
But he could be absolutely sure that the feeling of death just now was definitely not an illusion!
“What the hell is going on!?” he asked harshly.
"It's just a misunderstanding." Li Yu waved away his subordinates who had rushed over to warn him.
"Everything that just happened was just an illusion. What that dimensional world requires is not a duel, but an extremely brutal fight. One side must die."
"But the camp has developed a way to deceive them, which is the virtual duel just now." Li Yu changed his rhetoric. Since no one could verify it, he just made up nonsense.
"It's just that even if I tell you in advance, you probably won't believe it, so I can only keep it from you for now."
Li Yu's explanation was still the same as before, full of loopholes, and avoided the most critical question, why he chose Horus as his opponent.
But... Horus is now intact. He has carefully checked his body and found no hidden dangers.
In other words, he had nothing to lose, and under this premise, it was not easy for him to attack Li Yu.
After staring at Li Yu with cold eyes for a long time, the aura of Horus slowly faded away, and he said coldly: "If this happens again next time, don't look for me."
"Don't worry, it's enough for you to help us this time." Li Yu had a good attitude. Horus turned away with a cold face.
This time, Horus was very happy and Li Yu sent him away with a smile.
Horus frowned in the metal corridor. The feeling of being on the verge of death was still echoing in his mind. The feeling was too real and did not seem like an illusion at all.
He raised his hand to cover his chest. He didn't know if it was a psychological effect, but he vaguely felt some pain in his chest.
…
"Horus is a little vindictive..." Li Yu muttered as he was about to check his reward.
But the smart terminal rang, and a virtual projection popped up on it, and the attitude towards Li Yu was very respectful: "Sir, we have arrived at the coordinates you gave us, and our target is a barren planet."
"Exploration equipment has been deployed and is currently exploring the planet in depth. Some data shows that there is a cavity in the center of the planet."
"The detection model shows that it is not naturally formed, but should be excavated later."
This person is Fair, because Li Yu killed the A-level life form that Lawrence came to him for help.
He also brought Li Yu another hard drive containing the coordinates of Gensokyo.
Li Yu sent him to investigate the coordinates of the location.
He unfolded the projection and showed Li Yu the general situation of the scene.
Li Yu used [Force Projection] to go directly to the scene. He had transformed one of Feld's men into a Force body just for this moment.
Fair looked at his "subordinate" in surprise, and found that the other party had become Li Yu's body.
He didn't know what kind of method this was, and he looked at Li Yu with even more awe.
There is nothing worth exploring in the surrounding environment. The only peculiar thing is the mechanical altar.
"This altar..." Li Yu looked at the mechanical altar, and the Force surged out, almost tearing the altar apart.
"Nothing special." Li Yu withdrew the Force. There was nothing special about the materials of this altar and the symbols on its surface.
The only place worth exploring is the crystal above.
He asked Fair's men to charge energy inside, and the beam of light shot into the starry sky and then bounced back. Under Li Yu's protection, there was naturally no danger.
"Interesting..." Li Yu rubbed his chin.
Since the coordinates in the hard drive ended up being here, it meant that the person behind it definitely didn't mind it being discovered.
Even their purpose is to have this thing discovered.
"Pack up everything and take it away. Don't leave even a single stone behind in this cave." Li Yu didn't think too long. He didn't care about anything else and just took everything away first.
"Yes..." Feier immediately ordered his men to act.
"If the next coordinate location is also this thing, handle it the same way."
"I understand." Feil nodded.
