Chapter 585 Mechanical Octopus
Lanto looked a little confused, mainly because he couldn't help but be confused by what Li Yu said.
He originally thought that Li Yu wanted to have the whole thing to himself, and that he had discovered the special nature of the black fog and wanted to keep it for himself, so he expelled everyone else.
As a result, Li Yu directly blew up the Lester Anxing, and now he acts like a messenger , demanding that other forces not spread this black fog, otherwise they would be his enemies.
He did not feel that Li Yu was selfless, but rather felt that he was being unwise.
Because although Li Yu is famous, it is impossible for him to prohibit other people's ideas with just one sentence.
Even the Star Empire does not have such prestige. Instead, it may lead to larger-scale research to explore the specific role of the black fog.
Wait...is this the other party's purpose?
Lanto's pupils contracted. Under normal circumstances, some forces received Li Yu's statement.
The first reaction must be -
If you ask me not to study, I won't study. Wouldn't that make me lose face?
Who do you think you are? I want to study it and see what this thing actually does.
With this idea in mind, the black fog may spread completely.
Lanto's expression changed slightly. He didn't dare to think about it any further. He nodded and said, "I understand. I will release this statement right away."
Then he left in a hurry, probably to take care of this matter.
…
Just half a day later, a statement from Li Yu ignited the interstellar network——
"...After in-depth research on the virus incident in the Leiston galaxy, I found that it has a strong ability to infect. In order to prevent it from causing more damage to the interstellar society, I decided..."
"… and sternly warn other forces that whoever wants to destroy the stability of interstellar society is our enemy. Please consider carefully."
Before this statement was released, it was discussed with Li Yu in advance, and the wording was not so intense originally, but after Li Yu's revision, the whole thing was just one word - crazy!
After various events, Li Yu's fame was no longer limited to Guixing. He had many supporters throughout the galaxy, which immediately sparked widespread discussion.
The main reason is that it feels outrageous, because Li Yu is still a Guixing person on the surface, but he traveled thousands of miles to the Amethyst Civilization to destroy a virus-infected planet and issued such a statement.
No matter how you look at this matter, it seems weird.
However, some people believe that no matter what Li Yu’s purpose was, he at least destroyed a virus-infected planet.
The Interstellar Virus Research Organization affirmed Li Yu's contribution and severely questioned why the Amethyst Civilization did not strictly prevent the leakage of the virus.
Zijing had long been accustomed to this kind of bullying and fear of the strong, and was too lazy to pay attention to it.
However, some forces smelled something unusual.
…
The Forerunners held an emergency meeting for this matter. Of course, it was not just because of the incident itself. Destroying a planet was not something they took seriously.
But it is the information revealed behind this incident.
"It has been basically confirmed that this special infection virus came from the Titan Temple. The Interstellar Virus Research Organization named it the Black Exile." Someone said:
"This virus has extraordinary infection characteristics and speed, as well as some strange properties that have not yet been fully studied."
"The virus is just a small matter. Li Yu destroyed the planet. Did he discover some other information? Or is there any other reason?" Most of them didn't care about the black fog.
They also knew that the upcoming Titan Temple came from the Life Titan Tribe, which was a group of research maniacs, so it was normal for viruses to appear.
"Since we have been exposed, the Titan Temple will have to intervene this time."
"Before that, we have a problem that needs to be solved." The projection at the top spoke, attracting everyone's attention.
He turned on the projection, which showed the video of Li Yu destroying the planet Lesteon.
"The intelligence organization still can't find any information about the alien camp. There is only some data whose authenticity is unknown. This gives me a bad feeling..." His voice was indifferent, and no emotion could be heard.
In fact, he was extremely shocked by this. Their forerunners were the kings of the cowardly path, but he did not expect that there was a force even more cowardly than them.
Even with their tentacles, they couldn't find any useful clues.
"This person is the only clue. If we want to find the alien camp, we can only and must start with him!"
Due to various reasons, some forces such as the Abyss Research Institute, the Black Network, and the Fallen City were unable to use their full strength and did not have the ability to capture Li Yu.
But they are different. Even the "God of the Force" does not fear them.
He knew better than anyone how destructive a hidden force could be.
In the absence of any clues, alerting the enemy is also a good option.
"The Titan Temple has entered the countdown. He should often appear near the Hisank galaxy. Make a plan and kill him with one blow!" he said in a deep voice.
"According to the information from the Abyss Research Institute , he can summon an A5-level mechanical life form at any time and possesses Titan magic weapons, making him very difficult to deal with." someone added.
He ordered: "Wake up Istra, machine against machine, just right."
A senior executive couldn't help but stand up and said: "Istria is a plan we have been setting up for a long time. Are we going to start it now?"
"We used the Titan mechanical core as raw material and mixed it with distorted intelligence to give it the potential for evolution. It took countless years to reach its current state."
"The outside world thinks that Istra was born by chance, even Istra itself thinks so. Do we really want to start it?"
"No matter how long it takes to prepare, it is just a chess piece. If it is not used, it will never have any value." The projection at the top spoke in a firm tone, and it was obvious that he had made up his mind.
The others did not try to stop him, but he then said, "Wait, notify the Abyss Research Institute and ask them to contribute as well."
"This help should not be wasted."
Someone nodded, and the projections of the people present gradually disappeared, and everyone went about their business.
…
Not long after, somewhere in an unknown starry sky, there was a planet where life had already been born. Its surface was lush and green, with dense forests.
However, a silver-white mechanical tentacle tore through the atmosphere and penetrated straight into the earth's crust. It had a diameter of nearly a thousand kilometers and was surrounded by dense surface gullies.
Every piece of metal on the tentacle gleams with a cold color and has a smooth surface. The mechanical suction cup opens and closes from time to time, and the terrifying suction force forms a compression storm around it.
Deep within the mechanical tentacles, energy pipes continuously draw magma from the earth's core, and heat is one of its energy sources.
Looking upward along the mechanical tentacles, after breaking through the atmosphere, what appeared before one's eyes was a dull picture.
A mechanical octopus, much larger than the planet below, floats in space.
Each of the two bright blue mechanical pupils is over a hundred kilometers in diameter, and a large amount of data flows through them.
The rest of the tentacles danced irregularly around it, easily sweeping up some small meteorites.
Mechanical octopus - Istria!
This is the horrific creature that interstellar wanderers least want to encounter.
It is a mechanical life form with high intelligence and has established its own affiliated forces.
The main thing is to collect various technologies to strengthen itself.
The AI approach is simple and efficient: it evaluates every living being it encounters.
It will let go of those who are powerful and have supporters.
Those who are weak and have no one to support them will be directly devoured by it and become nutrients.
It's just that it has been wandering outside the main civilization and basically does not go deep into the civilization group, so it is difficult to pose a threat to large civilizations.
Because of its powerful strength, no civilization or organization is willing to destroy it.
At the core of the mechanical octopus, a black round object is suspended in the silent space, with invisible transparent nano data lines crisscrossing.
"T6677 Enhancement Project - Lack of Incandescent Alloy, sending Team G3 to purchase..."
"Biological Project S5533 - Lack of living organism materials, sending Team H4 to capture..."
“…”
This is its processing core. Trillions of complex data pass through here every minute and every second, and it is processed and issues commands.
However, there were some subtle changes here today.
"Unknown code information intrusion detected - intercepting..."
"Interception failed... The core code is disordered, the underlying logic is chaotic... Refactor... Refactor..."
"Test failed...test...test..."
The core seemed to be stuck, repeating this sentence over and over, with red data arcs appearing on the surface and shaking continuously.
And the red data arc began to extend outward along the nano data line, infecting every data node it touched.
In the end, the entire giant mechanical octopus emitted red arcs, which looked particularly terrifying in the silent starry sky, and its mechanical pupils were also covered in scarlet.
The mechanical tentacles inserted into the planet suddenly retracted, and the entire planet was torn into pieces, with flames gushing out.
"Target locked - Li Yu!"
The space around the mechanical octopus began to distort, and it disappeared directly on the spot and started moving towards the target direction!
…
"No reaction yet?" Li Yu came to a research base somewhere in Yuxu Palace.
In the huge observation room, there are already a large number of Khorne mutants, all of which are predators captured by the Transformers.
And on the wall was written in the interstellar universal language:
I am Nurgle, let's talk.
However, they are obviously not connected to the main consciousness now and are still wandering around.
"No..." Payton shook his head, a little puzzled, "Are you sure they are under the control of a unified consciousness?"
"Of course." Li Yu nodded: "When the main body arrives, notify me."
He was doing well, but suddenly someone came out and destroyed his lair.
I believe Khorne must be confused and angry now, and in order to find a new nest, he will definitely shuttle back and forth among the remaining mutants.
"Got it." Payton was also studying these Khorne mutants, but he had not gained anything for the time being.
Li Yu was thinking about how to lock this Khorne brother by his side.
The opponent can move back and forth among all the mutants with impunity.
This ability is similar to his Force Advent.
However, the other party obviously does not have a system, so he should have relied on some kind of information state capability.
There was actually a very simple method, which was to gather all the mutants together, so that Khorne would naturally have nowhere to escape.
But now, that black fog has been taken away by dozens of forces, and no one knows how many mutants it has spawned.
It is basically impossible to use that method again.
However, there must be other ways, otherwise the Life Titan would not have been able to lock it up.
Otherwise, Khorne only needs to hide a mutant in some remote corner to make himself invincible.
"Lock it up..." Li Yu's eyes moved slightly. As long as he found out how Khorne escaped, he could find the materials to seal it.
"Nurgle!"
An angry roar came from the observation room, and Li Yu's mouth corners slightly raised. Here it comes.
"My brother, you are finally here." Li Yu said with a smile.
"I knew it was you who did it. Why did you do this?" Many mutants spoke at the same time, scaring the researchers.
"Of course it's for your own good..." Li Yu said with a smile.
"You have wiped out hundreds of millions of mutants, greatly weakened my power, and you said it was for my own good!?" Khorne roared.
"I'm going to swallow you!"
Only when more people are infected, more black fog will be produced, and it will be able to infect higher-level life forms, becoming a virtuous circle.
"Look..." Li Yu was not angry and tuned up a news channel -
"...Recently, a statement released by Duke Li Yu of Guixing has sparked widespread discussion. Many people believe that while powerful interstellar life forms enjoy privileges, they should also benefit interstellar society..."
"And this Duke has set a good example for us. He clearly stated that anyone who secretly studies this virus and destroys interstellar peace is his enemy..."
"What do you mean?" Khorne still didn't understand.
"Li Yu is me..." He pointed at himself and said shyly, "To be honest, I have a bit of a bad reputation in this era, so... if I don't let them do something, they will probably increase their efforts."
Khorne was slightly stunned. Is there such a thing?
"If you don't believe it, you can wait a few days, and then you will understand." Li Yu said sincerely:
"You and I are brothers. In the entire universe, you and I are the only ones who exist in the same form. How could I harm you?"
