Chapter 706: Shadow
This is a desolate planet. The violent atmosphere is filled with violent thunderclouds. Thick thunderbolts continuously fall on the surface of the planet, making the sky dark and the earth gloomy.
Thunderstorms that can easily shatter diamonds cover the surface of this desolate planet all year round, and the harsh planetary environment has not given rise to any life.
Suddenly, a black light flashed in the thunderstorm, and a figure appeared out of nowhere, fell from mid-air, and landed on the ground.
The man was wearing a damaged mecha and was covered in blood. He looked seriously injured and was struggling to stand up.
He raised his hand and a thin black energy shield popped out, blocking the continuous thunderstorm around him.
In the next second, several rays of light flashed behind him, the space shattered, and two terrifying life forms and an interstellar human descended.
There was constant roar all around, and the two sides were confronting each other.
The seriously injured man stared coldly at the interstellar human in the terrifying life form, his tone full of murderous intent:
"Louis, you betrayed us!"
The interstellar human named Louis shook his head and sneered: "Betrayal? Mountbatten, I have never joined you, how can I say betrayal?"
Mountbatten gritted his teeth and staggered to his feet. There were tricks left on his body by the other party, and he could not get rid of Louis and the others.
The communicator network was locked and could not be unlocked for the time being, leaving him with no way to escape.
Mountbatten's face turned cold, he clenched his fists and shouted in a low voice:
"Killing Class A life forms is the Alliance's order. If you kill me now, the Alliance will not let you go!"
He, Louis and another A-level life form are all members of the A-level alliance and have just joined.
The civilization of his hometown has been troubled by terrifying life forms in recent times, so he called on his friends in the A-level alliance to strangle the terrifying life forms here.
The three of them chatted privately for a while and all felt that they had met too late.
So Mountbatten invited Louis and another person to help him eliminate the terrifying life form.
Eradicating the terrifying life forms can not only help the hometown get rid of troubles, but also gain the protection of the alliance, killing two birds with one stone.
However, they did not expect that halfway through the journey, they were ambushed by terrifying life forms, and Louis attacked them brazenly.
Another companion was seriously injured and killed before he could react.
Even though he had escaped here with great difficulty, he was probably doomed to die.
Louis suddenly shouted: "Mountbatten! If I was worried about the A-level alliance, would I still attack you secretly!?"
"This damn A-level alliance is nothing but a bondage and a cage. We A-level life forms are high above and deserve to enjoy everything in the universe."
"It's fine that we were supervised by various civilizations before, but now the A-level alliance wants us to abide by their ridiculous rules and treat those ants as our own kind?"
Most A-level life forms are not too cruel, but they don't have much compassion either.
There are also some A-level life forms that truly regard themselves as gods.
The emergence of the A-level alliance is a constraint for them.
Mountbatten panted and said in a deep voice: "Everyone has evolved from ordinary life forms. Are you born as an A-level life form?"
"Long Zun is right. The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. We A-level life forms have the obligation and responsibility to maintain the stability of the economy and society!"
"Haha, the greater the power, the greater the responsibility? You believe this nonsense, what a bullshit Dragon Lord, it's nothing but luck. I tell you, Shadow is ready to hunt Dragon Lord, he won't live long!"
Louis laughed, his tone filled with jealousy and resentment towards Long Zun.
"You've talked too much, Louis. Don't waste time with a dead man. I want to devour him!" The horrible life form next to him laughed hideously.
Mountbatten's expression flickered, and he clenched his teeth: "Shadow? Is this the organization of that group of horrible life forms? Not only did you betray us, you also betrayed your own race."
"We are the same race!" Louis opened his arms arrogantly, "The entire galaxy should support us. It's their honor!"
"You don't know, and you won't understand, how powerful Shadow is!"
Upon hearing this, Mountbatten frowned. The establishment of the A-level alliance and the hunting of terrorist life forms also caused a backlash from the terrorist life forms.
They act tyrannically and think differently, but they also have a sense of crisis. They know it is difficult to survive if they fight alone, so they form an organization.
Mountbatten had also heard of this some time ago, but did not take it seriously.
Having lived in civilized society for a long time, he believed in his heart that the horrible life forms would be eliminated sooner or later. He did not expect that this shadow organization actually attracted a group of A-level life forms.
This is extremely crucial news, but unfortunately he has no way to spread the news now.
"We've talked enough. For the sake of our friendship, I'll let you die knowingly." Energy fluctuations burst out from Louis' body, and he said in a cold voice: "Then, I'll personally send you off."
"If you want to kill me, then come and try!"
Mountbatten shouted just as loudly, ignoring the consumption of vital energy and madly squeezing the extremely exhausted cells.
The next moment, several figures moved rapidly and collided with each other with a loud bang.
Bang!
A violent shock wave swept across the surface, shattering the planet into pieces!
…
The biweekly alliance meeting was held again. The memory hall was packed with A-level life forms, probably close to ten thousand.
To be precise, the number is – 9623.
With the initial surge in the number of members, the number of new members has gradually slowed down, but it still maintains a good growth trend.
No one knows how many Class A life forms exist in the entire interstellar space.
But just those that have joined now have exceeded the expectations of some large civilizations, and even made them gasp.
According to their speculation, only a small number of people are joining the A-level alliance now.
At least a considerable number of the direct descendants of the civilization did not join in.
There are also some complete loners who don't bother to care about anything happening in the outside world.
Even though most of them are low-level A-grade, such a large number is enough to bring an astonishing deterrent.
There was some noise in the field, and the projections of the A-level life forms were whispering to each other.
Every A-level life form is superior in its own civilization and enjoys extremely high treatment.
But here it is just a tiny part.
Every time they attend a regular meeting, they are reminded that the universe is vast and they are nothing.
At the forefront of ordinary meetings are seats with more refined designs, which is just a parameter adjustment in the virtual conference room, just to distinguish the dignity of status.
Many A-level life forms cast longing glances at those seats.
With such a huge number of A-level life forms, there are not many seats like this, only less than twenty, which are the seats for directors.
This was the fifth regular meeting since Lloyd took over. Since it was the early days of the alliance, there were many trivial matters to attend to, so the meeting was held more frequently.
As the meeting time approached, projections gradually appeared on the board seats. Every time a projection appeared, the voices in the room would be weakened a bit.
By the end, there was no more noise in the entire conference hall, and everyone's eyes were focused on the people in the directors' seats.
One of them stood up slowly, wearing a white robe, and looked around with a calm look in his eyes.
"The Prayer" - Loic Perrin.
He is a special life form, not born naturally, but more like a virtual god born from the combination of the beliefs of all living beings, but he has his own consciousness.
"The fourth joint meeting of the A-level alliance has officially begun. According to convention, the president and the first vice president will not be present..."
He calmly narrated that the A-level alliance had one president and three vice presidents, which was the organizational structure set when it was founded.
Lloyd did not change, the president was occupied by Li Yu, Hasband occupied a vice president position, and the other two vice president positions were occupied by people from the Star Empire.
President Long Zun rarely attends meetings, and the members have become accustomed to it.
However, this time it was a little different, and Luwak had not yet finished speaking.
In the entire virtual conference room, in the very center, a light blue projection slowly condensed.
The movement here attracted the attention of the entire virtual conference room. The person praying paused, his tone slightly fluctuating: "Oh, this time, His Excellency the President seems to be in attendance."
Many A-level life forms looked at each other, and Li Yu's projection had solidified. He looked around and said calmly, "Hello, everyone."
After a moment of silence, many A-level life forms in the virtual conference room stood up and said respectfully, "Your Excellency, President!"
"Please take a seat, everyone. There's no need to be so polite." Li Yu's eyes flashed with surprise and some unexpectedness.
He also thought that his absence from previous meetings would reduce his reputation.
What he didn't know was that his influence was far more astonishing than he imagined, and part of it was brought about by his own strength.
The expressions of the people in the board seats varied, but the reactions were not too strong.
After everyone sat down, Li Yu asked again: "What big thing happened recently?"
He had no interest in this kind of meeting, but this time Lloyd strongly requested him to attend, saying that it was a major matter concerning the future of the A-level alliance.
"Recently, there have been a lot of casualties in hunting down terrifying life forms, so we are going to discuss what to do next ."
The prayer continued, "In the past half month, the number of casualties among members has reached 16."
"It has increased fourfold month-on-month. There must be something fishy going on."
When these words were spoken, many A-level life forms in the conference hall were somewhat surprised.
They had only heard that this incident was quite large, but they didn't expect so many people to die.
"Just..." Li Yu paused. He thought Lloyd was talking about something big. He held his chin with one hand and said casually:
"Please suspend the operation to eliminate the terrifying life forms."
"Stop exterminating these terrifying life forms?" The praying man frowned slightly.
Visa, who had a low presence in the seat, also looked at Li Yu with a puzzled look.
"Well, I will personally investigate the tricks. I will tell you after I find out the truth. During this period, the A-level alliance will stop hunting terrifying life forms." Li Yu emphasized again.
After he finished speaking, the noise in the venue increased again.
"Isn't this bad?" A director spoke up. He was from the Star Empire.
Now eradicating terrorist life forms is no longer just a slogan.
For Lloyd, this was a good excuse to openly interfere in the affairs of other civilizations.
It is also an important goal to guide the A-level alliance into a virtuous cycle.
It doesn’t mean that we don’t hunt.
"The life of an A-level lifeform is also a life. Don't take action until you find out what happened." Li Yu came up with a legitimate reason and didn't give them a chance to refute. He waved his hand and said:
"Okay, let's adjourn the meeting. If anyone has any comments, please come to me after the meeting."
After saying that, his projection disappeared directly here, leaving only the confused directors.
Shouldn't such an action, which concerns the purpose of the alliance, be put to a vote?
However, looking at the A-level life forms that have disappeared one after another, they also know that this meeting will have to end here.
The fluorescent light around him disappeared, and Li Yu muttered to himself: "I thought it was a big deal."
For him, terrifying life forms do not necessarily have to be eliminated.
He had supported Husband's decision just to gain reputation.
Now that Lloyd is here, his reputation will rise by simply manipulating some public opinions.
Since there are problems in eliminating the terrorist life forms, then don't do it. It's not a big deal, but it's a waste of time to have him attend.
However, now his transformed legions are also destroying some not-too-powerful terrifying life forms.
After this meeting, he remembered to look at the casualty report. After reading it carefully, he found that the casualties during this period had indeed increased.
According to some information, the intelligence that the Transfiguration Corps had originally come into contact with showed that there was only one active terrifying life form in a certain area.
But after arriving, they discovered that there was more than one terrifying life form, resulting in heavy casualties.
"Are they acting in conjunction?" Li Yu wondered to himself.
Are there connections between the terrifying life forms?
"Stop hunting down these terrifying life forms." He ordered the Transformers to stop their actions as well.
After this period of hunting, those extremely arrogant and brutal terrifying life forms have been almost all killed.
The rest are deeply hidden and difficult to deal with, and it is difficult to succeed without a detailed plan.
So he was not just talking nonsense when he temporarily stopped hunting down terrifying life forms.
In addition, there is another consideration, which is to avoid being ambushed.
If this matter is not resolved quickly, he may have to take action at some point, and it is inevitable that the Star Empire will be involved in it.
So just stop the action and put an end to it.
