Chapter 788: One more person must die
The faith clones of congressmen are quite special. They can serve as temporary incarnations of power, but there is still a certain gap compared to real congressmen.
And the real power of the congressman lies in his control over the throne.
The twelve thrones are not only authority but also weapons.
Even though there is some gap compared to the pinnacle Titan artifact, it will not be too big.
Simply believing in the clones is completely incapable of unleashing their full strength.
If we have to make an analogy, it should be similar to the first forerunner of the fusion body, which can be regarded as a "weakened version" of a super life form.
The First Pioneer was killed in seconds by [Work Together] and [Eagle Eye Badge], not to mention the Faith Clone.
In the eyes of the Star Empire, the First Pioneer was obviously not a super life form, so it was naturally not considered as deceiving him.
Although such scenes are already commonplace to Li Yu.
But it was a shock to the God of Storm and Fire and Shane who were present.
"You are Dragon Lord! How dare you appear here!" The God of Storm and Flame finally recognized Li Yu's identity.
In the inherent thinking of these gods, the Gods' Council is their private territory and outsiders dare not enter or leave at will.
"The Sun and Nightmare hate you to the core. If the other council members knew about this, they would definitely hunt you down like crazy."
"There is no place for you in the Gods' Council!"
The God of Storm and Flame roared.
"But the problem is, how could the news of my being here be leaked out?" Li Yu narrowed his eyes, and in a flash, he appeared in front of the storm of flames.
The opponent's reaction speed was not slow either, but unfortunately he did not confront him head-on. Instead, he turned around and ran away, turning into a tornado surrounded by flames.
But he didn't get too far as he was stopped by an invisible barrier.
He knew that it would be difficult for him to escape today. He glanced at the Dragon God, whose body was covered with red cracks and seemed to be about to die, and shouted coldly:
"You underestimate the gods. Do you think that if you kill us all, no one will know what happened today?!"
"I told you, you can't hide it!"
Li Yu ignored him. The Titan's axe fell down, directly turning the storm flames in front of him into ashes.
At this point, all three of the old ones have fallen, and there is no commotion.
Although the code name sounds awesome, they are actually just a bunch of losers. Without the blessing of the throne, they are no match for Li Yu.
After dealing with these small fry, Li Yu turned his attention to Xia En. He still seemed unable to accept what had happened and stared at Li Yu intently.
"Your Highness Xia En, long time no see... I miss you so much. When I think back to everything that happened on Tianhuang Star, I still feel so much emotion." Li Yu's eyes seemed to be reminiscing, and he sighed:
"You are worthy of being an imperial noble. Even in the Gods' Council, you still caused a stir."
"I am now the God of Nightmares!" Shane gritted his teeth.
He didn't expect that the other party would actually come in person, and he didn't expect that the faith clone of Lady Night was not even a match for the other party.
"We are all old friends, so stop pretending." Li Yu glanced at the saints who were ready to make a move, and with a casual snap of his fingers, he sealed off Xia En's men.
"I know your purpose. Didn't the Star Empire send you here to lurk?" Li Yu couldn't help but shake his head, looking at Xia En who was still stubborn.
How did he know!
How did the Empire maintain its secrets?
It would have been fine if he had found out through clues in the past, but how come he knew it too?
Xia En looked uncertain, and said in a deep voice: "Since you knew I was sent by the Empire, why did you attack me?"
"Aren't you and the Empire cooperating? Why do you want to disrupt this cooperative relationship? Do you want to turn against the Empire?"
"No, no..." Li Yu shook his head and emphasized: "It's not me who wants to destroy this relationship, it's you."
"If you don't attack Mo Duo, I don't really want to attack you. To be honest, I admire you. It would be a good thing to turn your enemy into a friend..."
Xia En did not feel relieved by Li Yu's words. In fact, the word "appreciate" made his anger even more intense.
Appreciation is the condescending look of the superior to the inferior. It is obvious that in Li Yu's heart, Xia En and he are no longer on the same level.
Although this is indeed the case, it is still somewhat difficult for Shane to accept.
Once upon a time, the person in front of him could only linger on and try every possible means to stay alive.
But now I can look down on him.
"What a pity, I find that you are quite vindictive..." Li Yu said indifferently. Xia En could notice that the invisible barrier around them was slowly shrinking.
Wherever they passed, the Dire Fleet was annihilated without leaving any trace.
"So, we can only nip the threat in the bud as soon as possible."
It would have been fine when we were weak before, but now that we have the strength, we will naturally not give the enemy time to develop.
"The Star Empire and the Council of Gods will not let you go. The alien camp... can you hold on?" Xia En said unwillingly.
"That's not something Your Highness needs to consider ." Li Yu said, and suddenly he said with a "tsk".
"This scene is quite familiar. It is just like that time and that moment. It is just like this due to fate."
It would have been fine if he hadn't said this. As soon as he said this, Xia En seemed to be stimulated by something and shouted angrily: "I want you to die!"
His pupils were filled with bloodshot, and he turned into a black shadow and rushed towards Li Yu.
Li Yu just waved his hand as if he was swatting a fly.
He came in fast and flew out even faster.
Shane was knocked flying directly, like a meteor, hitting the energy barrier and creating a large circular pit.
The shock wave burst out, and with Shane as the center, the void cracked into cracks, extending to the end of the sight.
puff!
Blood oozed from Shane's pores, instantly staining his clothes red.
Severe pain swept through every nerve and he didn't have time to catch his breath.
The next moment, a thick beam of light suddenly covered his entire body.
The space suddenly cracked, and then exploded with a loud bang, and a void storm raged out.
Boom! !
The surging aftermath spread rapidly. Xia En's strength was too low. Even though he had a bright future, it could not be converted into immediate combat power.
In front of Li Yu, he was as weak as an ant and had no power to fight back.
As long as Li Yu moved his fingers slightly, he would be crushed to death.
Li Yu raised his hand, and Xia En, who looked like a rotten corpse, was wrapped in an invisible force and flew in front of Li Yu.
There was not a single piece of healthy flesh on his body, and the blood oozing from his wounds floated in the starry sky like crystal clear blood diamonds.
Xia En raised his hand with difficulty and pointed at Li Yu. His arms were shaking. He slowly opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something.
“…Don’t bother.”
Li Yu shook his head and sighed, condensing an oxygen bubble around him.
Xia En was no longer able to struggle. He stared at Li Yu with a strong sense of unwillingness in his eyes.
He was originally the heir to the high and mighty empire.
Both the upper and lower limits are difficult for ordinary life forms, or even A-level life forms, to achieve in their lifetime.
But he was not satisfied, nor did he fight for the little piece of land of the Star Empire. Instead, he had greater ambitions and took action.
However, the originally good plan suddenly encountered a variable, which made him suffer humiliation on Tianhuang Star.
But for the sake of his own goal, he still endured it. He did not lose the big picture for the small, nor did he take the other party to heart.
He thought that as long as he informed the empire afterwards, the other party would naturally be dealt with, but subsequent developments were beyond his expectations.
After arriving at the Council of Gods, he endured humiliation and looked for opportunities.
As long as the plan goes smoothly and succeeds, he won't even need to care about super life forms.
But he didn't expect to encounter that variable again, which might even strangle him in the cradle.
His future, his determination, his ambitions, all collapsed at this moment.
"I... never took the initiative to provoke you..." Xia En spat out blood and squeezed out a few words: "Why do you treat me like this!?"
Li Yu was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "Indeed, it's a pity that some things cannot be changed by one's own will."
"On Tianhuang Star, due to your plan, I may be buried with you. I had no choice but to do so."
Shane grinned and smiled miserably.
Li Yu had a strange look on his face, wondering why he made himself look like a villain.
"Don't worry, you are different from Lehman. You are still useful. I won't kill you. Maybe one day when I become invincible, I will let you out ." Li Yu painted a big picture for him.
Shane naturally didn't believe it, and had an expression that showed he had been teased.
After temporarily imprisoning him, Mo Duo came up and said, "You killed the faith clone of Lady Night. She should be here soon. Let's leave as soon as possible."
"Well...but one more person has to die." Li Yu nodded, then looked at Mo Duo.
"Who?" Mo Duo was a little confused.
"you."
Li Yu uttered a word.
…
"Shayne is missing?!"
Not long after, in the central office of the Star Empire——[Joint Research Base with Other Dimensions].
Ennius, who had just received an emergency report, stood up suddenly and his face changed drastically.
In front of her was a remote projection of a middle-aged man who belonged to a secret department that was responsible for Shane's affairs.
The other party looked extremely serious and said in a deep voice: "Yes, not long ago, His Highness Xia En went to the Three Gods Church to fight a war of conquest."
"But then, the entire Night God system moved abnormally, and more than half of the gods went to the Three Gods Church. After our investigation, we confirmed that His Highness Shane was missing."
"Who did it!?" Ennius's breath burst out, as if he was about to lose control and his eyes were full of murderous intent.
"There are not enough clues, so we can't draw any conclusions for now." The other party hesitated and shook his head.
"Have you reported it?" Hearing this, Ennius frowned.
"His Majesty the Emperor should be holding a meeting." the other party responded.
…
The eight-person conference table was opened again, and seven remote projections came to the conference room one after another. They were a little confused, wondering why the emperor suddenly summoned them.
Soon, the emperor appeared in the main seat with a stern look on his face, and said directly:
"Emergency situation, Shane was attacked in the Gods' Council and is confirmed missing!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the expressions of the seven noble leaders paused. They did not expect to hear such breaking news suddenly.
Then, their expressions became extremely ugly.
They all clearly knew the value of Shane. To be frank, Shane was related to the future development of the Star Empire.
At this time, specific information projection appears, summarizing the clues collected temporarily in brief words.
After understanding the current situation, the seven noble leaders fell silent again.
"No clue..."
"It's difficult for us to fully deploy our manpower in the Gods' Council..."
"Xia En has been expelled by us on the surface. If we use our people on a large scale, it will be easy for some organizations to find out..."
“…”
Several people spoke up, and it could be summed up in two words - trouble!
"Is this your opinion?" The emperor looked around at everyone, his voice expressing no emotion.
"We must investigate this matter. It's not just because Shane is related to the Throne Plan, but because the person who did it might have the same purpose as us..." Loren, who had been silent just now, said:
"If we don't find out the clues, it will be a huge hidden danger."
You're really good at farting, the other noble rulers secretly complained.
They also know that they need to check, but the question is how?
"First, identify a few possible suspects and narrow down the scope." Loren at least added a useful sentence.
"How can we lock them down? During the war between gods, all the other eleven councillors are suspects."
“No…” Loren shook his head: “This God War is different from the previous ones. The appearance of the thirteen God Thrones has made them train their own subordinates.”
"Isn't that more motivational?"
"On the surface, there are five candidates under the command of the Goddess of Night, including Shane, and there are even more candidates under the command of other councillors." Loren shook his head: "If others don't find out about Shane's sudden disappearance next time."
"Then we can temporarily remove the congressman from the list of suspects, and we can also confirm that the conflict in the God War did not lead to Shane's disappearance."
"The forerunners? The Old Ones? They were the ones who almost beat Shane to death last time." Someone added.
"It's very likely. We are still not sure whether they know our plan. If they know, they will most likely take action against Shane." Loren nodded.
"Then focus on investigating these two organizations."
"Wait, have you forgotten someone?" Sissoko interrupted, Yin Jiu looked around and said, "Dragon Lord - Li Yu!"
