Chapter 878: What is the real Star Empire like?
"Ah, I'm really sorry, everyone. That trip to the deep dimensional world really caused me great losses. It took me such a long time to recover."
Li Yu sighed as he looked at the holographic projection in front of him. He paused for a moment and said, "What I didn't expect was that Mr. Alessandro is still alive."
Alessandro's face was dark. This guy had returned from the deep dimension world a long time ago, but he never showed up.
If they hadn't been so tough this time, they probably wouldn't have been able to contact this guy.
"I know you have obtained the Sanctuary of the Dead, so you don't have to pretend with me." Alessandro's patience had been exhausted in the past few years, so he got straight to the point:
"The Temple of Departure has permission detection, and only certain people are qualified to use it."
"Uh..." Li Yu was about to speak when he was interrupted by Alessandro: "That's right, I'm afraid I'm the only one who can use the entire universe right now."
"actually……"
"You must have discovered it. I'm not saying this to threaten you. After all, I can't threaten you." Alessandro said calmly.
"I can transfer the usage rights to you, but you need to pay some conditions."
"The Star Empire is my child. As long as there is a glimmer of hope, I will let it..."
"Wait!" Li Yu suddenly said loudly, which made Alessandro, who had been chattering, stop and look at him with some confusion.
"Well... there's something I haven't told you yet. I did get the Temple of Departure at the beginning, but it was snatched away by a guy who called himself Mosto or Devouring Demon."
Li Yu shrugged: "So that thing is not in my hand... "
"It's not in your hands?" Alessandro obviously didn't believe this and frowned, "Didn't you contact the protector behind you?"
"He is one of the most powerful dimensional demons. He is so powerful that no one can check and balance him." Li Yu lamented, "If I hadn't acted according to circumstances, I might not have been able to come back."
Alessandro said nothing. Due to some inherent impressions, he did not believe what Li Yu said.
However, the Temple of Departure would indeed be useless in the hands of outsiders. If it were really in Li Yu's hands, it would be completely a decoration. It is impossible that he would have no thoughts on the suggestions he put forward.
"Okay, I have something else to do here, let's talk later." Li Yu said a few perfunctorily and then hung up the phone.
"You keep whining. If you make me angry, I'll tear your head off..." Li Yu muttered. Payton, who was studying data nearby, heard this and couldn't help but cast a puzzled look at him. He asked, "Do you still need to care about the Star Empire now?"
"With your current strength, it shouldn't take too much effort to wipe out those old antiques, right?"
"What you said is true. The Xingyao Empire is our partner after all. How can you have such a vicious mind?" Li Yu said in surprise.
"Besides, do I look like a bloodthirsty person?"
Peyton was speechless, staring at him with dead fish eyes.
Li Yu felt uncomfortable being looked at, and immediately waved his hands and said, "Okay, okay, there is still a use for the Xingyao Empire, and it is not time to discipline them yet."
The current Star Empire does not pose much trouble to him.
Previously, he was probably concerned about the Star Empire. On the one hand, he was unable to deal with the lower-level problems after the upper-level officials were disturbed. On the other hand, Li Yu also had his own considerations.
But it's not time yet.
"By the way, I heard that a new batch of outside explorers have been captured. Is there any new news?" Li Yu asked.
Payton thought for a moment and said, "There is a piece of information."
"Two months ago, the chief research expert in charge of exploring this ruin was removed and replaced by a new person."
"The attitude this guy conveyed is very strong. If we continue to detain them like this, it will be regarded as a declaration of war against them."
"Damian was removed?" Li Yu was a little surprised, but when he thought about it, there had been no progress for such a long time, and those senior executives must be disappointed in him.
However, according to his understanding, this guy has always been unwilling to admit defeat since he was a child, and he will do anything to achieve his goals.
Maybe something strange will happen. After all, they have been covering it up for so long, even a fool would know that there is something wrong with the so-called Star Empire.
"Keep him under house arrest and don't care what they say." Li Yu ordered casually.
"If this continues, they will definitely open a second exploration point, and then we won't be able to capture them," Payton said.
Li Yu shook his head and said, "It doesn't matter. Being able to delay for this long is enough."
He hadn't intended to keep delaying it, but now that it has come to this, he might as well delay it for one more day.
I don't even bother to find excuses, I'll just imprison him.
…
At the same time, looking at the black screen, Alessandro couldn't help but clench his fists.
"The thing must be in his hands..." Alessandro's tone was terrifying.
"Why do you think so?" Alfred asked in confusion, "What he said is reasonable, and some of the information he gave me matches what you gave me."
"If he really meets Mosto, how can he come back alive!" Alessandro said coldly: "The power of the Devouring Demon God is already at the top of the universe. There is no way he can fight against it."
"Death on the spot is the fate you deserve!"
"Perhaps the dimensional demon is easing the situation?" Alfred offered an explanation.
"You don't understand the deep dimensional world. There are many conflicts between the four great demon gods. If there are demon gods from other dimensions backing him up, he will only die more miserably."
Alfred nodded thoughtfully, and then said: "If..."
He was interrupted before he could finish his words. Alessandro seemed to have seen what he was thinking and said directly: "It is even more impossible that the backer behind him is the Devouring Demon God."
"Mestuo has always known about this place. If the dimensional demon behind him is Mostuo, he would have been sent here to test it long ago."
"If, as you said, he can't use the Temple of Departure, why would he hide it like this?"
Alessandro couldn't explain this problem either, so he could only say unhappily: "That's the problem..."
Li Yu's strength was too strong, and he couldn't force the other party at all.
He originally wanted to use this method to trick the other party into handing over the Temple of Departure.
He knew some of the functions of that thing, which was enough to help him escape Li Yu's tracking and disappear completely.
As for whether the furious Li Yu would tear down the Star Empire, that was not a problem for him to consider .
Even if Li Yu doesn't demolish it now, he will still demolish it when outside civilization comes in.
…
Near the desolate universe belt, a huge interstellar fortress is surrounded by a large number of warships, but compared with a complete fortress-class formation, there is still a considerable lack of warships.
In the interstellar fortress, Ted held up special dumbbells made from the collapsed core of a neutron star with both arms, while his other arm was swiping the holographic screen, as if he was checking some news.
As the commander of the Four-Armed Titan Legion, his days seemed quite leisurely.
"Hey, the internal network intelligence said that your daughter Xia and the little troll next to Long Zun are in love, and they have been listed as key surveillance targets."
He grinned and said to a projection standing not far away: "Many people say that you are preparing on both ends. The top management is quite dissatisfied with this matter."
"That's a matter between children. It has nothing to do with them." Raymond looked deep in the eyes and shook his head.
"So, is it true that the higher-ups secretly instructed your daughter to go undercover?" Ted asked tentatively.
"Going undercover beside Long Zun, do I think she has lived too long?" Raymond said calmly: "Tu Ying's life experience is special. A few years ago, he went to the troll home planet to commemorate his father and happened to meet Xia. It was a pure coincidence."
"Tsk, it's quite a coincidence. You said Long Zun is quite strange. He actually helps his former enemy raise a child." Ted muttered as if he had thought of something.
"This shows that the man named Tu Rui knows Dragon Lord better than anyone else." Raymond sighed, "If I died suddenly now, I wouldn't even be able to think of a friend I could trust."
"I can't do that either?" Ted was a little dissatisfied. "We have been friends for many years. We even hunted down Long Zun together. Now we haven't been held accountable. We have a life-long friendship."
"Get lost." Raymond said bluntly.
Ted didn't care and said, "That's why you were transferred here. Join me in searching for visitors from outside civilizations, right?"
Raymond nodded: "Combined factors, I haven't paid much attention to the Empire's affairs over the years. The Empire has long been dissatisfied with me. This is just a fuse."
"The empire is getting worse and worse..." Ted said without hesitation: "The tough Xingyao Empire is now relying on Dragon Lord to support it, but the attitude of the top leaders towards Dragon Lord is very ambiguous. How do you say it? It's both a presumptuous and a mediocre person."
"This is not something we can discuss." Raymond shook his head.
"Oh, I still remember that we chased and killed Long Zun before. The world is so unpredictable..." Ted's tone was complicated, as if he was recalling the past.
That was a nostalgic past, but as Dragon Lord grew stronger, those things became taboos that the Star Empire was reluctant to mention.
At this moment, a holographic projection suddenly appeared beside him. It was his adjutant, who hurriedly reported: "Captain, an abnormal spatial fluctuation point was found, suspected to be an outside visitor."
"Are you sure? It's not some space garbage?" Ted's expression suddenly changed and asked.
"There should be a high probability." The adjutant was not sure either.
"What are the coordinates? Go there immediately and inform the empire to send support as soon as possible." Ted stood up and was about to leave.
"Wait, according to the information from the empire, those outside visitors are all very powerful, at least they are super life forms." Raymond suddenly said.
Ted also said: "The Empire also said that crossing the desolate space belt would cause them to suffer very serious injuries. This is the best opportunity to escape."
"Synchronize the coordinates for me." Raymond hesitated for a moment and said.
"I knew you wouldn't want me to die!" Ted grinned, put on heavy armor, and strode out of the cabin.
…
"Warning, the aircraft has lost 67% of its body weight and is about to disintegrate. Please sit down and prepare for the impact!"
Warnings continued to sound in the cabin. Many staff members inside looked pale and kept changing various configurations.
A ripple appeared in the void
“Sizzle, sizzle… I can… hear it…”
The screen was blurry and the signal was intermittent. The captain came to a life form that always looked relatively calm and reported:
"Sir Steve, we have successfully passed through the rule entanglement area and arrived inside the ruins."
"Yes." Steve nodded and said, "Contact the headquarters as soon as possible. I need..."
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly heard a warning from the radio channel: "Spacecraft ahead, please turn off the engine immediately and wait for us to board and inspect."
This finally made Steve's expression change slightly, and he looked up at the surveillance screen.
In the starry sky, a large number of warships leapt here and surrounded them.
"Ask them if they are from the Star Empire?" Steve frowned.
On the other side, Ted, who was about to continue shouting, heard the other party's response and was suddenly confused: "Fuck, how do they know we are from the Star Empire?"
"He's really someone from the Star Empire." Steve saw that the other party was slow to respond and already had a rough estimate in his mind.
"I didn't expect they would be ambushing here..."
The reason for changing the exploration point was to avoid the group of ambushers, but I didn't expect to meet them here.
Although he was quite powerful, he was still a little scared when facing the Xingyao Empire, which was suspected to be very powerful.
"There seems to be no super life forms in the enemy's fleet. I should take this opportunity to find a way to break out..." he thought to himself.
Finally, there was a response on the radio channel: "Are you from an outside civilization?"
"Huh?" Steve was stunned. These people are not sure about our origins?
Not from the Star Empire?
Then why didn't you respond just now?
If they were from the Star Empire, they would definitely understand their origins based on the experience of the previous exploration team being captured.
This group of people would not waste any time talking to them. They would just arrest them and put them under house arrest.
But this time, it's a little different.
The unexpected situation gave him some other ideas.
The current situation may be a little different from what he imagined.
