Chapter 511 Hunter: I am the Chosen One?
"The old man is dead?" Li Yu was a little surprised. Although Horus and he didn't get along well , the two of them got along well over the past period of time.
The main reason was that he had taken advantage of Horus a lot, and Horus did his best to protect him, although it was because of his position.
But there is no need to mention the minor conflicts between the two.
Li Yu was quite moved when he suddenly received this news.
However, he still subconsciously used the ability of [Eye of Hydra], which was the eye he had inserted into Horus.
The perspective changes. This is a closed cabin, surrounded by soldiers with live ammunition.
Due to the perspective, Li Yu could only see some of Horus' limbs. His lower body had completely disappeared, and the broken parts were charred black. No signs of life could be seen, and there were no imprisonment measures.
Is this a corpse?
It seems that this old man is really dead?
Li Yu retracted his gaze and thought to himself that Horus was A4 after all, and his body had some value, so it was reasonable for the other party to recycle it.
But since those soldiers didn't have any insignia on them, it was hard to tell who did it.
"I just got the news that Guixing has issued an interstellar obituary. It should be true." The hunter was also a little disappointed.
He was just assigning some daily tasks to his soldiers, so he didn't follow for the time being.
After receiving the news, he hurried over to inform Li Yu.
Horus once confronted his old boss Augustus, and both of them expressed high praise for each other, with a feeling of mutual admiration.
The sudden death now really made him feel inexplicably sad.
"An obituary was released?" Li Yu was a little surprised. How could an obituary be released so quickly for such news that was seriously unfavorable to Guixing?
Horus is the top general of Guixing, with outstanding military achievements and extremely high prestige within the sect.
The news of his death will definitely cause turmoil within Guixing, which will be extremely unfavorable to Guixing which has just completed a regime change.
If it can be concealed, it will be impossible to announce it to the public, unless... Gui Xing himself does not announce the news, someone else will announce it.
"How did he die? Wasn't he suppressing ? Those crooked creatures could have hurt him."
Li Yu asked.
The hunter was not vague either. He turned on the smart terminal and projected a holographic screen with general information on it.
"...ambushed by an unknown enemy in the Azka system...the fleet suffered heavy losses..."
The content of this kind of information released to the public was very brief, but Li Yu still keenly felt that something was wrong. The location of the Az galaxy was not close to the border of Guixing.
How big would it have to be to be able to take out Horus' ambush team?
There are too many things wrong here, but he can't contact Klein here for the time being, otherwise he would have to ask him carefully.
However, he was not too anxious to know the details of the matter. After all, Horus was dead, and it would be useless even if he knew more.
"Once Horus died, the good situation that Klein had just created collapsed to some extent. His recognition will definitely drop. No matter how you look at it, it seems to be the work of Titus..." Li Yu thought to himself:
"...But this guy doesn't look like a fool. Killing Horus... would be a huge loss to Guixing, equivalent to his own loss. Will he do it?"
Li Yu couldn't be sure for a moment whether it was Titus. After all, based on his previous impression of him, this guy was quite smart.
Payton was indifferent to this. He scrolled on the holographic screen for a while and said, "By the way, the indigenous people of this world want to negotiate with you."
This sentence woke Li Yu up from his deep thoughts. He raised his head with a puzzled look: "Negotiation?"
"Yes, they know that there is a new owner here, and they hope you can let them leave." Payton said casually.
Ever since Li Yu took over this place, the indigenous residents have been extremely wary of the chaos in the core of the world and dared not provoke these outsiders.
Although some conflicts broke out, they were still within the controllable range and they could only pretend that they did not exist for the time being.
But this self-deceiving idea obviously could not last, and after more than a month, they finally wanted to negotiate.
"It seems that their heritage has not been completely cut off. They know some of the situation here." Li Yu thought thoughtfully: "They also know that there is a world outside."
This group of indigenous people are actually the descendants of the shipmen of this dimensional ship. After a long period of reproduction and development, they have become such an ethnic group.
Payton briefly introduced: "Their population exceeds 10 billion, divided into three factions, and they have been fighting each other for years. According to social model analysis, it should be to consume the excess population. After all, the world can only carry a limited number of people."
"The most powerful life form has a combat energy level of only 8 million, so there is no need to worry."
Li Yu nodded. The little noise had become dimensional consciousness, and it would only take a few minutes to deal with them. However, Li Yu had not had the time to pay attention to this matter.
"It's time to deal with them. These leeks are still trying to escape..."
Li Yu muttered a few words. He still valued this group of high-quality races. They were perfect candidates for believers, and with a little training, they could become elite warriors.
Li Yu and Payton walked out of the experimental base, but when they reached the door, Li Yu suddenly stopped and turned his head to look behind him, quite puzzled: "Hunter, what are you doing?"
At this moment, the hunter was lying on the thick glass partition, his eyes focused on the two black chains inside.
He didn't even hear Li Yu's question.
"Augustus is back!"
Li Yu raised his voice, and the hunter suddenly shuddered, then turned his head with resentment and said unhappily: "The general has resurrected and will take you away first."
"This is just a good wish of mine..." Li Yu looked at the hunter: "What happened to you just now? Even if you have been lonely for too long, you can't have any thoughts about the two chains."
"Although there are a lot of holes on it, dry holes hurt your gun."
Hearing this, the hunter's face darkened, but now was not the time to retort. He hesitated for a moment and said, "I seem to feel that these two chains are calling me..."
"Huh?" Li Yu was a little confused, then he realized: "Is this the reason why you have been absent-minded recently?"
"Yes, I had this feeling when I first saw it in your hand, but I thought it was an illusion at the time." The hunter nodded and frowned slightly.
"It's just that during this period of time, there are occasional inexplicable voices ringing in my ears."
"It has taken a fancy to you?" Li Yu made some guesses, then turned back and looked at the two chains.
"That should be the case, but when you say it, I always feel something is wrong." The hunter couldn't help but complain.
"Peyton, you said before that this thing can pick people, right?" Li Yu turned his head and asked.
And Payton had already come over and immediately answered: "Yes, most dimensional creations will choose their own users."
“Although there seems to be no pattern, they have their own selection criteria.”
"Then this thing has really bad taste." Li Yu folded his arms and complained mercilessly, still remembering the resistance of the two chains to him.
"Indeed, Mr. Hunter himself is worthless." Payton agreed, but then explained: "I am talking about your body, not your self-conscious body, please don't misunderstand."
Although your body is waste, you are not... Hunter understood what Peyton meant, but he always felt that it would be better for the other party not to explain.
In this way, he can be regarded as a scientific researcher with no emotional intelligence.
Instead, after deep thought, I suddenly realized that even my own self-awareness seemed to have little value.
The hunter looked resentful and treated all remarks that were unfavorable to him as jealousy.
Thinking this way makes me feel much more comfortable.
"Since they like you, then go ahead and give it a try..." Li Yu said to the hunter. It would be a waste to leave the chain alone if he didn't want him to use it.
If hunters can use it, it's still worth it.
"Is there any danger?"
The hunter himself was cautious, asking Peyton questions, but he did not have the excitement of being the chosen one.
"Not sure..." Payton shook his head: "We have too little information on it. Normally, most dimensional creations are harmless to the user, but there are exceptions."
The hunter looked uncertain. These two black chains were very powerful. He also saw the battle between Tou Nan and Li Yu.
He was lying when he said he didn't want to, but there might be unknown dangers...
After thinking for a moment, he suddenly smiled and said lightly: "You think too much. I have a rotten life anyway, so I'll just die!"
"I've been struggling to survive in the first place. It's worth it to be able to follow you and see the scenery from a high place."
This guy sounded like he was saying his last words. Li Yu raised his eyebrows and chuckled, "Don't worry, even if you die, I can bring you back."
"Then you must be careful." The hunter also smiled, then his face became serious and he said to Payton: "Open the observation room, I want to go in."
Payton immediately operated on the holographic screen, and the heavy metal hatch opened with a mechanical hum.
The hunter took a deep breath and walked straight in, and soon the hatch closed again.
Li Yu and Payton stood outside the observation room.
"Turn on all observation devices in all living things and pay close attention to his physical condition." Li Yu said.
Peyton nodded: "We are ready. Once we are close to the critical point, we will activate the freezing device to lower the temperature to absolute zero and seal everything."
Li Yu did not comment. The [Symbiotic Reproduction Suit] on his arm fell off, and the [Infinity Gloves] appeared.
He didn't lie just now. Even if something really went wrong, he could use the [Reality Stone] to forcibly pull the hunter out of the life-and-death crisis.
In the observation room, the hunter approached the black chain cautiously. He could feel an inexplicable throbbing and a strange whispering sound in his ears.
As he approached, the Chains of Silence began to vibrate regularly and emit a special force field.
Both seemed to be looking forward to meeting each other.
The hunter's eyes were serious. He had already made up his mind. Without any hesitation, he grasped the chain with both hands.
In an instant, a purple light bloomed and covered the entire observation room.
The Silent Chain vibrated excitedly, and the end of the chain began to penetrate into the hunter's skin, wriggling in his flesh and blood. Purple lines began to spread from the arm to the hunter's entire body.
The pain was so severe that the hunter could not help but arch his body, raise his head, and let out a miserable howl.
At the same time, his pupils were also covered with purple light, and his vision changed rapidly. When he came to his senses again
The hunter found himself suspended in the outer space of a huge planet, overlooking the planet below.
Looking down from the starry sky, the planet is vast and appears lush green overall.
Patches of brightly lit urban areas are scattered across the surface of the planet, making it look like a fairly prosperous planet.
Then, the lights on the surface flickered, as if the fast-forward button was pressed, and everything in front of me passed by quickly.
In the distant orbit, a large fleet appeared at some point. The hunter looked slightly dazed, it turned out to be [Aug].
The Cang Yue, which he himself commanded, was also among them.
"This is... the Battle of Tartaglia!?" The hunter quickly recalled the battle.
This was a battle that took place sixteen years ago, when the Empire's vassal civilization Tartaglia was invaded by an evil god.
It was the AEUG fleet that went to provide support.
This war was not difficult, and the AEUG fleet easily wiped out the enemy.
However, according to subsequent analysis, this was not an invasion by an evil body.
It was just because a latitudinal crack accidentally appeared on this planet that some special dimensional creatures came to the main universe.
The scene quickly advances as the hunter recalls his past. As a new captain, he led his soldiers to charge and fight on the front line.
He even personally beheaded the enemy's leader, a creature that looked like a werewolf.
However, its fur is covered with purple stripes and there is a chain pattern on its back. It is five meters tall and very powerful.
He beheaded the enemy, held up the enemy's head, and bathed in blood amid the cheers of the soldiers. Those were his youthful years.
But as the blood seeped into the cracks in the armor, an unnatural purple light also merged into his body.
"So, that's how it is..." The hunter realized that the reason why he was chosen seemed to be because of those dimensional creatures.
The scene in front of him collapsed, and the hunter's perspective returned to reality. He once again felt the pain that penetrated his bones.
However, the two people outside couldn't hear it. They were closely monitoring the hunter's vital signs through sophisticated instruments.
Although the overall data has been fluctuating, it remains in a healthy state.
It didn't take long. As the purple light gradually died down, the hunter knelt on the ground, panting. The black chains seemed to have merged into his arms and were dragged on the ground.
"The life level has not been improved at all..." Peyton scanned the hunter, who was still a half-dead E-level genetic evolutionary body.
"The application of this chain is not to improve the life level itself." Li Yu was not surprised at all.
After all, the previous thief was also very ordinary.
The hunter stood up slowly, seeming a little confused. He shook the chains on his arms, which made a rattling sound, and he was not used to it.
