Chapter 645: On the Eve of the Opening of the Temple
"Six days... This time is much shorter than I expected..." Li Yu estimated silently. In fact, he had already asked Codrey before.
But Kodri was not sure about the exact time, because this matter had been taken over by the Star Empire, and almost no one could participate except the Lord of the Ark.
Therefore, he could only start with Lloyd.
Although the remaining time was shorter than he expected, there was still time to prepare.
Then he smiled and said, "I told you that you won't regret the idea of cooperating with me."
Lloyd also chuckled, and then the two talked about some sensitive topics.
Li Yu was trying to find out about Shane's news, while Lloyd was asking about the alien camp and the two sides of the forerunners.
Both of them were moving forward step by step through trial and error, and it was obviously inappropriate to discuss such confidential information now.
So neither side got any useful information.
…
Two days later, in the Baffalol Galaxy, a relatively remote galaxy in the Star Empire.
On the surface, this place looks ordinary, but in fact, it is one of the few places in the Star Empire where large-scale black market transactions can be carried out.
Rumor has it that the person behind it is a high-ranking official in the Star Empire.
The sun gradually sets, and the blood-red sunset paints the sky, turning it into a dazzling red gem, which slowly retreats into the horizon as the sun shines.
The night slowly enveloped the sky, and the bright lights in the city gradually lit up.
Starfall City, the largest city in the Buffalo Galaxy.
It is almost quiet and deserted here during the day, with few people seen on the streets. But at night, Starfall City wakes up and shows another side of this interstellar city.
It's like a woman wearing glasses and wrapped tightly, who takes off all her disguises at night and becomes hot and sexy, which is a great contrast.
At night, there are black market merchants, gray goods, and desperadoes from various galaxies here.
They conducted secret transactions here and continued .
The crowds on the streets were denser and more surging, and a restless and eerie atmosphere was floating in the air.
Every black marketeer who goes here brings with him tall and burly bodyguards, exuding a fierce aura, ready to prey on anyone they choose.
They kept and no one crossed this safe boundary.
At this moment, everyone discovered that the ground beneath their feet seemed to be shaking slightly.
Boom! !
A blinding light came from a distance, and dazzling columns of explosion light rose up. The flames illuminated the night sky, which was extremely eye-catching.
Crash!
The shock wave swept over like a hurricane that rose out of nowhere.
Even though they were far away, they were still affected, with their hair flying in the strong wind.
Flames rose in the night sky. Countless black businessmen around were stunned. They stopped and turned to look at the place where the explosion occurred.
Someone is actually causing trouble here?
They had all come through mountains of swords and seas of fire, so naturally they would not panic because of this explosion, they just felt surprised.
The explosion site -
Bang!
The mechanical sword flashed with silver light, splitting a black market garrisoner in black armor in half. Then, with the back of the sword, it smashed another guy's head open, splattering blood all over the ground.
This was a group of guys whose origins were unknown, but they were well-equipped and were engaging in a fierce firefight with the garrisons here.
They fought each other, and the surrounding defense turrets and mechanical vehicles fired wildly at the group.
Energy beams bombarded their protective shields, and outsiders were constantly killed and annihilated, leaving not even a powder.
Their leader displayed A-level combat power, charging left and right, turning the world upside down with a wield of his sword.
Anything that stood in his way was smashed to pieces by him, and the high-level combat forces stationed here would not stay on guard at all times, and had not arrived yet, so reinforcements were still on the way.
"Please stop resisting and accept our investigation!" shouted the black market guards.
"Get lost! We are here because of the rules here. We didn't expect you garrisons to want to rob us!"
He shouted angrily, holding the knife in both hands and suddenly raised it to the sky.
Strange black symbols lit up on his sword and body, and then his body expanded rapidly, his aura increased, and violent energy surged out of his body.
He raised his sword and slashed out black beams of light, attacking indiscriminately on the battlefield.
Their own people who hit them turned black all over, and not only did their injuries gradually recover, but their fighting power was also significantly enhanced.
If it hits the enemy, the surface of the enemy's skin will rot, the blood in the body will flow backwards, and the enemy will suffer serious trauma.
"The person possessed by the dimension is indeed someone from the Abyss Research Institute. These are the people the higher-ups are looking for!" the young commander at the scene shouted sternly.
At the same time, in the night sky, a meteor tore through the night sky and fell towards the battle area.
Beams of blazing light suddenly dropped from the sky and attacked this place.
The man holding the sword sensed the danger and quickly scattered away.
Boom!
The light cannon bombarded in front of him, the ground shattered, and the soil instantly crystallized by the high temperature.
Along with the bombing, a figure descended, emitting powerful energy fluctuations all over his body, and stood in front of this man.
"Just surrender, you are no match for me." The man embraced his four strong arms, with his upper body naked, and his red skin was very conspicuous in the night.
“You…are you going to break the rules you set?” The leader of the team had a gloomy expression, and the black symbols on his skin were twisting.
"No, it's just that someone wants to ask you a few questions." The four-armed Titan shook his head, "You'd better cooperate. There's no harm in that."
The team leader looked around and saw that more and more black market garrisons were heading here.
Not to mention others, he couldn't even defeat the four-armed Titan in front of him.
He had come here on the orders of the leader to buy some special materials, but he didn't expect to be targeted as soon as he showed up, and the target was a garrison here.
"Why did they suddenly target the Abyss Research Institute?" He was restless. "And the boss just told me not long ago that he was a peripheral member of the Abyss Research Institute. How could he be found out so quickly?"
As soon as these thoughts came to his mind, he noticed that the four-armed Titan opposite was slowly approaching him.
He gasped and thought for a while, but in the end he didn't muster up the courage to resist and could only grit his teeth and surrender .
"Catch them all, they are our distinguished guests." shouted the Four-Armed Titan.
Mechanical shackles were put on them and they were taken to prison, where severe torture awaited them.
The news of the destruction of the Abyss Research Institute cannot possibly remain secret forever.
Li Yu learned about the so-called Fire Plan from Lloyd.
Almost all large forces or civilizations have such a plan.
Even if Li Yu did not leak the news, as time went by, those "sparks" would leak the news.
…
"So, you gave the cloak to Li Yu without considering us?"
Gosling was sweating profusely, and standing in front of him was a figure covered in a white robe.
He didn't dare to look up, and said tremblingly: "I can't do anything. Morton civilization has declined to this point. We have no room for bargaining."
The third pioneer remained silent. Of course he knew this truth, he was just angry that he was one step late again.
Unexpectedly, Li Yu had already reached an agreement with Gosling and obtained the cloak component.
In the previous battle, the so-called losses suffered by the alien camp, the cost of resurrecting those A-level life forms, and the death of the dimensional army were all completely within an acceptable range.
In the end, the only ones who get hurt are the pioneers.
"Anything else to say?" the third pioneer said indifferently.
Gosling had already sensed the hostility in the other party's tone and said hurriedly, "We still have clues about the helmet. It was lost to the parliament and was obtained by the God of Thunder."
"This news... is far from enough." The third pioneer raised his hand, and a translucent crystal ball appeared in his hand.
Along with the hazy golden light, a galaxy appeared in the crystal ball.
"The Pal Galaxy..." Gosling exclaimed.
It’s not over yet. More and more galaxies appear in the crystal ball, all of which are galaxies of the Morton civilization.
Although Gosling didn't know what methods the other party had, he knew that the galaxies that appeared in the crystal ball were definitely not just for him to see.
"I... this..." Gosling's throat moved and he gritted his teeth and said, "We have another piece of news!"
"It's about the Parliament..."
The third pioneer paused slightly. Parliament is a rather special system.
Even they cannot extend their hands into the parliament.
To be honest, they are not very interested in the parliament because of its special system and they cannot allocate more manpower to systematically study the system of gods.
And a brief understanding will not help them at all.
However, the news that Gosling said at this time should not be unimportant.
"Tell me about it."
"There are not only twelve thrones of the Twelve Gods, but thirteen." Goslin said. This was the news he had just learned.
The "Spark" organization from the Morton civilization preserves the Morton civilization's once confidential database.
"Thirteen?" The third advance officer frowned.
"Yes, and the last one is in..." Gosling hesitated for a moment and said, "Guixing."
"This is probably the reason why the Council besieged Guixing some time ago."
"It is said that once the thirteen thrones of the gods are gathered, it will bring about a qualitative change in the parliament."
"How did you learn this news?" The third pioneer was a little surprised. This information was indeed unheard of.
"Before the decline of Morton civilization, the First Born Thunder, who was one of the twelve main gods at the time, visited us because of the Thunder Armor."
In order to increase the credibility of this news, Gosling even retrieved the historical records of the time.
It was not just a record within the Morton civilization, it also caused quite a stir at the interstellar level at the time.
"In exchange for this information, he borrowed the Thunder Armor once."
The third pioneer remained silent. According to the trend that the parliament had reconciled with Guixing at that time, it was probably that the parliament had already obtained the so-called thirteenth throne.
At that time, they did not pay too much attention to the attack, and they did not expect that there was such a hidden secret.
Gosling was a little anxious and said, "Sir, we are not a threat to you. We just want to survive."
The third pioneer also knew that the Morton civilization was of little value, and the cloak had been handed over to Li Yu.
Even if he destroyed the Morton civilization, he would not get anything. He was just venting his anger.
The scene in the crystal ball slowly dissipated. Gosling breathed a sigh of relief, and the voice of the Third Forerunner reached his ears:
"I'll let you go for now, but there may be some actions later that require your cooperation."
Gosling felt bitter inside. If possible, he really didn't want to have anything to do with the other party.
But he could only nod and say, "No problem."
…
"Your people found the fire of the Abyss Research Institute?" Li Yu looked at Lloyd in surprise. "It's only been four days. You acted very quickly."
"It should be just one of the Fire Starters, and a stupid one at that. His hidden identity is a plunderer."
"He sent people to the Xingyao Empire to purchase some contraband items. His men didn't know that the Abyss Research Institute had been destroyed, and they thought they had a big tree to lean on."
Lloyd has been communicating with Li Yu frequently these days, and the two have exchanged a lot of information.
"But the leader is very tight-lipped. It will take some time before we can get the news from him that the Abyss Research Institute has been destroyed."
Li Yu thought thoughtfully: "Information obtained in this way can be obtained through official channels, right?"
"That's right. Words alone are not enough. We need evidence to support our claims." Lloyd nodded, and then added, "Yesterday I reported the last battle to the top management. They are very satisfied with the progress."
"Let me continue teasing you so that you can continue fighting, but they are still upset about you getting the cloak component."
Li Yu chuckled twice and said nothing.
Lloyd added: "The reason why I revealed that you got the cloak is because the Morton civilization is peaceful. The president must have used some method to avoid this crisis. His tactics are quite powerful."
"If they are not destroyed, the Empire may learn about the cloak. Hiding this news now may have a great impact on me in the future."
Li Yu glanced at him and did not delve into the question. He just sighed and said, "After all, Morton civilization is one of the founding civilizations of the Civilization Alliance. It is not so easy to be destroyed."
