Chapter 605: Preparing for Attack
The burden of using this gem directly is even greater.
Then he took out the [Infinity Gauntlet], the two gems on it emitted dazzling light, as if echoing with the Time Gem.
He held the Time Stone, and as soon as he approached the [Infinity Gauntlet], the stone began to tremble involuntarily, as if it was called by something, and automatically stuck to the thumb position of the glove, fitting perfectly.
Afterwards, the entire [Infinity Gauntlet] emitted a dazzling light, and various colors of light shuttled back and forth between the gaps in the glove, shining brightly.
Wearing the [Infinity Gloves], Li Yu felt the surging power in it, and his heart was a little excited. The time to snap his fingers was one step closer.
By using the [Infinity Gauntlet] to activate the Time Stone, the burden it carries will be greatly reduced.
He can affect the flow of time within his own range. The larger the range, the greater the burden.
The larger the time span of the pullback or acceleration, the greater the burden.
The results of this basic attempt were within his expectations.
He was wondering if he could travel through time.
But after many attempts, he still found it difficult to do it.
Even in this dimensional world, Li Yu can't do it, let alone in the main universe.
Although he cannot travel through time and space, the Time Stone is also a very powerful weapon, greatly increasing his combat effectiveness.
"In this way, the possibility of success of the plan increases again." Li Yu thought for a moment.
I glanced at the system again, but unfortunately, No. 2 didn't have any exciting gains for the time being.
Ever since he killed Scarlet Witch, Thor, Iron Man and others, everyone else has realized that this guy is not easy to mess with, and no one is willing to provoke him.
As for Odin, the god of gods, there was no movement for the time being, and No. 2 entered a brief and rare period of calm.
…
"Ah Jiong, what's the big news recently?"
At the headquarters of the Abyss Research Institute, all outside activities have basically stopped.
Most of the middle and senior level managers have returned to the headquarters, where they chat and gossip all day long and have nothing to do.
In the lounge, someone was holding a wine glass, the turbid liquid in it swaying from time to time , and then he drank it all in one gulp.
Someone was leaning against the wall, puffing smoke from his mouth, the fine tobacco flickering with his breathing.
There was someone sitting alone in a corner, covered in a black robe, seemingly out of place with the entire environment.
Everyone has a different posture, but everyone's eyes are focused on the virtual screen on the wall.
At this moment, a news talk show is being broadcast.
The picture shows a studio where several hosts are guiding several guests to talk.
In the quiet lounge, the only sounds were the excited conversations of the show's guests.
"Big news? What news could be bigger than Lord Longzun's battle in the Benfir civilization?"
"It's been several days since that battle. Is it still big news?"
"Ha, all the major interstellar media have been broadcasting this news in rotation recently. Everyone must be tired of it. But if you talk about other news, I'm afraid there won't even be an audience."
The hosts sang in unison, obviously trying to liven up the atmosphere.
Another host cleverly cut into the topic: "You're right. Although so many days have passed, mentioning that battle still makes people excited."
"Your Excellency Long Zun first fought a fierce battle with the leader of the Abyss Research Institute, then encountered an attack from the mechanical octopus Istria, and finally was almost seriously injured by a silver life form."
"In the end, he still managed to pull off a Jedi counterattack. How can we not admire him?"
"Yes, that's right..." A muscular guest interrupted, "This is the most advanced battle that has taken place on the interstellar level in recent years."
"The leader of the Abyss Research Institute and the mechanical octopus Istra are all well-known figures in the interstellar space, but they have all become stepping stones for Long Zun."
Another guest added: "In fact, the leader of the Abyss Research Institute and the mechanical octopus did not pose a substantial threat to Your Excellency Long Zun."
The muscular man agreed: "Yes, the two of them feel like background. The real threat is the silver life form that appeared at the end."
Hearing this conversation, everyone in the lounge looked unhappy.
Saying that their boss is just a bystander?
Damn, you guys are so arrogant and you dare to comment on our boss?
The host on the scene was not a fool either, although the leader of the Abyss Research Institute was defeated by Li Yu.
But it's not like I was defeated by them. Isn't it courting death to talk about such big shots recklessly?
If they can’t deal with Li Yu, can’t they deal with these people?
One of the hosts immediately changed the subject and said, "Let the big shots deal with their issues, and we little guys can just watch the fun."
"Not long ago, Your Excellency Long Zun was preparing to help the Benfeil civilization get rid of the virus. This is enough to show that he is a magnanimous person..."
The screen went black and the signal was completely lost. Someone in the lounge said angrily, "What a bunch of idiots! Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Li Yu has bad intentions towards Benfeil Civilization."
"These idiots are still praising him."
"That's right. Now the interstellar trend is pushing Li Yu to be the 'spokesman of justice'. His words 'putting strength into shackles' are praised by many people, who believe that he has a sense of social responsibility."
"That's really stupid."
The people present were all middle and senior level executives of the Abyss Research Institute, and they all had the same stance.
Such words naturally aroused cheers, but there were also different voices: "But I feel that it is even more pitiful for us to only be able to gain some sense of existence by insulting others."
Hearing these discordant words, everyone looked over and their eyes suddenly became extremely fearful.
They did not originally work at the headquarters of the Abyss Research Institute, but were basically agents of a certain dimension.
Later, after the Abyss Research Institute was put into hibernation, they returned to the headquarters.
The guy in front of me was a ruthless character with powerful strength.
After the dimensional world he controlled was destroyed, his strength did not decrease much, and his combat power was considered top-notch among many agents.
"Strength is what determines the right to speak. Your quarreling here will have no effect at all." He said in a cold voice and stood up and left.
Everyone looked unhappy, watching him leave. Someone couldn't help but say, "What kind of person is this? He helps others gain prestige but destroys his own ambition."
"I think he will betray the organization sooner or later." The person who spoke had a vicious mind.
"Don't say that. He is highly valued by the leader and has been on the front line of battle for many years. He has made much more contributions than you and me." The veteran guy whispered.
Upon hearing this, everyone shut up and continued their boring pastime.
"Alas, I don't know how long this slumber will last. It's too boring here. It's better to stay outside and be free."
"Don't think about it. News has come out from the top. The leader has already said that we will not show up until Li Yu is dead."
"Ah?" Someone wailed, "With Li Yu's current life level, it's not surprising that he can live for tens of thousands of years. By then, we will have died long ago."
"Just be happy secretly. It's because we have a strong foundation. If it were an ordinary organization, Li Yu would have come to our door long ago." Someone next to him shook his head and said:
"How could you possibly have the chance to be unhappy here."
However, just as he finished speaking, an alarm sounded -
"Warning, an unknown life form has been detected to have broken through the blockade of the snake-bone beast and is approaching the first line of defense. Please be prepared for battle!"
This sudden warning startled everyone and some even seemed a little confused.
They had never heard of the defense warning from headquarters, so they were inevitably hesitant when they heard it for the first time.
It was not until a moment later that someone reacted and said hesitantly: "Someone, is calling?"
…
A few minutes ago, Li Yu arrived at a place closest to this area.
There are violent void turbulence and meteorite belts everywhere.
This place is not close to the main civilization group and is considered the boundary area of the known universe. If you continue to go out, you will reach the endless desolate starry sky.
Following him came a giant mechanical octopus, which was Istria.
But he didn't turn the other party into a humanoid machine.
According to Mana Dragon's memory, the headquarters of the Abyss Research Institute should be at the deepest part of this interstellar turbulence.
On the surface, this meteorite turbulence seemed normal, but as soon as the mechanical octopus approached, it noticed something unusual.
From the large meteorite belt in front of them, huge, bright blue interstellar monsters suddenly emerged.
They have white bone horns that are hundreds of meters long, bodies as long as snakes, coiled on the meteorites, and their body surfaces are covered with dense scales.
"A group of snake-bone giant beasts?" Li Yu's expression moved slightly. This is a powerful interstellar giant beast that feeds on void turbulence and meteorites.
They are social animals with a strong sense of territory and will frantically attack any creature that enters their territory.
According to a rough estimate, the number of people in front of us is probably no less than hundreds of thousands.
Moreover, Li Yu also sensed a powerful aura of considerable scale from it, which was probably no less than that of an A-level life form.
"A group of snake-bone beasts of this size is really rare." Li Yu pondered that this group of snake-bone beasts might have been secretly cultivated by the Abyss Research Institute.
It is used as the first natural line of defense, and it can also prevent some interstellar wanderers who are unaware of the truth from entering.
If you want to step inside and find the headquarters of the Abyss Research Institute, it would be difficult to avoid this group of giant snake-bone beasts.
"That's great. Just consider it as a greeting."
Li Yu didn't think he could sneak in silently. With the blocking ability of the Abyss Research Institute, there was basically no possibility for him to sneak in.
Patting the mechanical octopus beside him, Istra's mechanical pupils contracted and rotated, instantly locking onto a large number of snake-bone beasts.
The mechanical tentacles rose, the metal suction cups turned into gun muzzles, and energy rays fell like meteor showers, shooting madly at the group of snake-bone monsters in front of them.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Silent fireworks exploded. Facing the first level of impact, the snake-bone beast had no ability to resist. Its body turned black and broke into several pieces, floating in the universe.
This seemed like an attack signal. The snake-bone beasts coiled on the meteorite let out a silent roar, shot out like an arrow, and disappeared into the void in an instant.
This is their innate ability, so feeding on the turbulence of the void is essentially devouring void energy.
At the same time, it can also perform short-distance space jumps and reach Istria in the blink of an eye.
The huge mechanical octopus is like a mountain to these snake-like beasts.
Their attacks couldn't even penetrate Istra's shield.
The bone-horn charge caused irreparable damage to itself, and a large number of snake-bone beasts attacked Istria at all costs.
Li Yu did not join the battle, but just watched from the side.
But as time passed, his brows gradually furrowed, and Istria's energy shield was about to be broken.
The surface of the azure energy shield was covered with cracks. The number of dead snake-bone beasts reached hundreds of thousands, but the remaining ones were relatively powerful.
Gradually, they were able to cause damage to the energy shield, and among them were some snake-bone monsters that were comparable to A-level life forms.
Their bodies are hundreds of kilometers long and they spew out void energy beams. They are the most threatening life forms to Istria.
The largest snake-bone monster had tentacles that were almost as long as Istra's.
There is no clear level of strength classification for this kind of star beast, and it can only be determined by the actual combat power burst out in battle.
But based on feeling alone, Li Yu estimated that the combat energy level of this snake-bone giant beast should be close to the 100 million level.
I don’t know what the Abyss Research Institute fed it.
According to common sense , the life level of a group like the snake-bone beast can only reach one million at most.
And this one has obviously exceeded the limit many times.
It allowed its own people to die without taking any action until Istra's energy shield was on the verge of collapse, then it took action.
When he was ejected, a large number of meteorites around him shattered, and his body became dazed for an instant.
When it appeared again, it was already in front of Estra. The bone horn smashed the energy shield and the fragments turned into fluorescent light and disappeared.
The bloody mouth opened wide, as if to tear the metal octopus in front of it apart.
However, at this moment, Istria's tentacles suddenly pulled out, and space distortion appeared around the thick mechanical tentacles.
The movement seemed slow, but it was actually very fast, hitting the snake-bone monster hard.
Bang!
A shock wave burst out from the dull impact point, directly blasting it away, killing many snake-bone beasts along the way.
