Chapter 266 Blackmailer Li Yu
Chapter 266 Blackmailer Li Yu
The horrifying turn of events stunned both camps.
At the same time, they also realized that how this strange domain mission would develop next, and even their own life and death, would no longer depend on them.
"It is rumored that any mission involving the [Evil Star Lord] will eventually lead to the plot of the strange domain being derailed and the situation collapsing. I didn't expect that Shang Yang, who has repeatedly stepped in the way of the Evil Star Lord in the past, would also have this ability."
"It's more than just a collapse, it's a complete subversion. This iron beast not only killed all the demi-humans, leaving us with no missions to complete, but he's also going to kill all of us next. Is there anyone who would conquer a strange territory like this? He's really a madman."
"If you look closely, it was actually the Lord of Misfortune who caused the collapse. He interrupted Shang Yang's slow calculations and forced him to use the most brutal means."
"I guess Shang Yang has been deceived by the Master of Misfortune Star many times, so he is so decisive."
"So, is the Lord of the Star of Misfortune still alive?"
After being reminded, everyone looked at the terrifying mechanical giant.
The beginning of Shang Yang's massacre of the subhumans, his self-detonation and abandoning of everything, and his migration to the Mechanical Apostle clan, was when this giant suddenly came and ruthlessly attacked and killed without a word.
Although this goddess-like mechanical giant was apparently paralyzed and crashed by Shang Yang's attack.
But considering his bad reputation in the past, no one believed that the leader of the star of misfortune had died.
And Li Yu was indeed not dead.
Both he and Hongdou were safe and sound.
The mother nest machine blocked the disaster, and when the aftermath of the self-explosion ended, the master and servant woke up together.
Hongdou's consciousness began to cautiously explore the brain area, taking over the tangled nervous system again, and controlling the "Goddess Body" to slowly open its eyes.
After looking around, he raised his head again and looked at the pitch-black space.
The long distance could not block the sight of a high-level mechanical goddess body that already possessed a faint charm.
The extremely detailed battle report and deduction sounded in Li Yu's mind the next moment:
"The war has ended temporarily, and part of the plan has been achieved."
"Successfully forced the target to self-destruct all apostles and its own warships."
"The target has now lost its high-sequence combat capability and has fallen back to the [Sequence Five] level."
"But the target has also submitted 'self-destruction and killing all demihumans' as evidence that he has accepted the [rule of killing all demihumans] to the Mechanical Apostle Clan's mothership, and has been recognized by the mothership. He has been given the opportunity to immigrate to the Apostle Clan. The mothership's intelligent brain has begun to fulfill this promise, and the target's racial nature has changed again."
"He is transforming into a 'Mechanical Apostle' and possesses talents and potential that surpass almost all Mechanical Apostles."
"He is valued by the mothership's intelligent brain."
"Based on past assessments of the target, we can determine that the target's 'immigration' is a scam. There is an 80% chance that the target will hand over the core data and consciousness to the evil god [Ancient Saint] for safekeeping. Once entering the mothership area, a new round of contamination and possession operations may begin."
"The Apostle Clan's mothership has complete gravity control technology, solar black sail technology, and star navigation technology... It is the core creation of the Apostle Clan's advanced technology."
"Technically, the mothership is ahead of the target Necron warship."
"If the goal is successfully achieved, its combat power will surge again."
"According to current technology, the chance of success is estimated to be as high as 70 percent."
"But because of the huge size gap between the two sides, it will take at least several days to complete the plan."
"Hongdou only has a quarter of an hour left to operate the [Mechanical Goddess Shell]. She cannot continue to track or kill quickly."
"Begin to readjust the plan...!"
……
Hongdou's words soon let Li Yu know all the changes in the outside world.
In particular, he knew where Shang Yang was going.
The complaints and praises cannot be stopped at all.
"What a business disaster!"
"You really know how to play it. You're using the immigration trick in the Weird Territory conquest?"
"He also voluntarily accepted body modification and took the initiative to accept the inhumane rules of slaughter."
"The Apostle Mothership's intelligence probably thought that it was our noble belief that attracted a mechanical life with the same aspirations, so it chose to accept it."
"Who would have thought? This is like inviting a wolf into the house."
"The mechanical ascension was successful. Its intelligence and computing power are equivalent to a subsystem of the Holy Nest Intelligent Brain. It is also the choice of the Ancient Saints...Give him a few days to complete the contamination and possession of the mothership's intelligent brain. It is indeed very likely."
"Where did you learn such a shameless and cruel move?"
Li Yugang asked the question.
Hongdou immediately answered:
"Master, according to logical deduction, the target Shang Yang's current behavior style is mostly imitated from you."
"So his chances of success are very high, as long as there is no interference from the master."
This answer, unsurprisingly, made Li Yu fall silent.
It turns out that he was imitating his style of causing trouble.
But he soon reacted, frowned and looked embarrassed.
A strong sense of crisis lingered in his mind.
This time, there was no need for him or Hongdou to even make a deduction, as the catastrophic outcome that was visible to the naked eye was already brewing.
"The progress of this expedition to the strange domain has completely gone haywire, and only half of the seven days have passed."
"If Shang Yang takes over the mothership, everyone on the battlefield, including me, will be in danger."
"I, Li Yu, am even the one who has the best chance of survival. After all, I own a mechanical divine entity... The Seed Nest Machine Mother uses the biological energy of an entire planet, plus the technology of the Transformers, and is forged with the virus of the Nest Mother. It is evil, terrifying, and powerful."
"The only pity is that Red Bean's level is not high enough, so she can't exert half the power of the [Mechanical Goddess]."
"That's it. There's a time limit for use."
"How can we play with this?"
"How about running away? This divine body must have the ability to cross the sea of stars, escape from the Desperate Death Star, and go to the depths of the sea of stars... I don't need to really find another safe planet. I just need to hold on for a few days and wait for the Demon Star Order to send me back to the world."
"The reincarnationists have the most advantage. They can directly pay the price and return early."
"The worst off are the Demon Star Lords, who have nowhere to escape."
As soon as Li Yu had these ideas, they were immediately rejected by Hongdou.
The projection in front of him changed to the picture of the reincarnationists. The few surviving reincarnationists surrounded the strongest one, "General Thunder God Yang Tiangang", and each of them had a look of fear on their face.
"Owner!"
"After this evolution and upgrade, the Samsara Skynet and the Demon Star Order have developed a synergy, learning from each other, and some rules on both sides have changed."
"The Samsara Skynet has cancelled the rule that [you can leave the strange domain early by paying a price]."
"Whenever a survival mission appears, there is no other way to escape except to survive the time limit."
"Also, the master's method of escape is unlikely to succeed. At this stage, the area outside the Death Star is controlled by the Apostle Mothership. Hongdou cannot exert the true power of the goddess' body. If she rashly enters space, she will most likely be quickly eliminated and captured by the mothership."
When Li Yu heard these voices, he was worried that his method had failed, but he also completely understood the reason for the frightened expressions on the faces of those reincarnations.
A turtle in a jar!
These four words are the best footnote to the current situation of everyone on this desperate death star.
Although we say all of them, in reality there are only a dozen people in total.
That’s right, there are only a dozen people left on a planet that is even more vast and huge than the Earth in the previous life.
The tens of millions of indigenous people were all exterminated. The person who did all this was Shang Yang.
Even Li Yu, who had repeatedly harmed the other party, felt a little dazed when he realized the "evil deeds" that Shang Yang had done.
He couldn't help but think of the first time the two of them came into contact in the Strange Territory a long time ago, when Shang Yang's ruthlessness had already been revealed.
It is true that such people are inhumane, but it is also true that they are capable of performing great and evil deeds that are beyond the reach of ordinary people. They are truly terrifying.
He is somewhat similar to Li Yu!
In terms of the level sequence, both of them are still Sequence Five, no different from the two frightened people in the field.
But both of them can cleverly "master" or "leverage" forces far beyond their own.
Therefore, being in the same strange realm with the two of them, it is inevitable that the plot will be ruined.
"It won't be so unlucky, right?"
"The business disaster in the past was not so terrible. I asked you to imitate me, but I didn't ask you to surpass me."
As Li Yu complained in his heart, the dangerous omen became stronger and stronger.
He had even foreseen a terrifying scene in the future: Shang Yang, who controlled the Apostle Mothership, would directly drag an asteroid and crash into the Death Star in a few days to fulfill his promise.
The way he died was spectacular, but Li Yu didn't want to die.
Just when he was about to use the "22nd Bubble of Truth" he had just obtained not long ago to find a chance of survival.
Hongdou's beautiful mechanical voice finally sounded again:
"We have received all the data left by the [Seed Nest Mother]."
"The exploration of the divine body has been increased to 50%, and the safe control time limit has been reduced to 10 minutes."
"Discover the hidden permissions and the machine mother's secret key. After using it, you can activate the machine's special function [Star Devouring Ray]."
"The technical reserve for this function comes from the experience of the Transformers and the Hive Mother in transforming planets... After it is activated, it can absorb the energy essence of the entire planet and release it in a concentrated manner, with the power to destroy at least one asteroid."
"The power of this function varies depending on the time of absorption."
“According to the assessment!”
"If we turn on this function now, there is a high probability that the owner's life will be saved when the survival limit is reached."
……
Along with the mechanical sound, Li Yu also saw a detailed description of this terrifying magical power.
The technological reserves, or inheritance, come from the "Transformers" and "Nest Mothers" respectively, both of which are terrifying existences that dominate the starry sky today.
It is also very reasonable that the magical power released by extracting the essence of the planet can be used to fight against the apostle mothership.
As for whether to enable it?
with no doubt.
Now, all the people in the Desperate Death Star have died.
It doesn't matter if you squeeze it for a few days.
After receiving Li Yu's decision, Hongdou immediately continued:
"Turn on the [Swallow Star] function and let the program run automatically!"
"Synchronize and temporarily release control of the machine, retaining a ten-minute safe operation time limit."
When the dawn of life emerges like this.
It also completely verified Li Yu's previous premonition that once Hongdou could accompany him into the strange domain to conquer, the pass rate would skyrocket again.
Now it seems that this is the case.
The Desperate Death Star, which seemed to have not been much of a hassle, actually showed a difficulty far beyond any strange realm that Li Yu had experienced. It was truly a nightmare level.
If it was Li Yu alone, he would surely die without a doubt, without even a chance of survival.
Of course, the same goes for others, including General Thunder God Yang Tiangang.
The originally destined ending: all were killed by Shang Yan.
Now there seems to be a turnaround?
Ok?
Suddenly, Li Yu, who had already made up his mind, suddenly had a new idea in his mind.
He slowly turned his head and looked at the two parties who had not yet found a way out and were quite hesitant.
"If nothing unexpected happens, Shang Yang will control the [Apostle Mothership] in a few days to directly destroy the Death Star instead of killing everyone one by one."
"So, my self-preservation and my saving everyone's lives are actually the same."
"But this way, I will seem to be at a disadvantage."
"How about collecting some protection money?"
This thought will never be suppressed again.
Li Yu was not a kind person who was always willing to help others, so he took action immediately.
Ever since!
The next moment, the giant mechanical object that had left a psychological trauma on everyone present suddenly spewed out scarlet steam, attracting everyone's attention.
Li Yu's voice also penetrated the mechanical brain and rang in everyone's ears:
"Everyone!"
"If nothing unexpected happens, Shang Yang will completely contaminate and control the [Apostle Mothership] within a few days. At that time, he will fulfill his promise and kill all life forms."
"Don't think that you are all at the same level as him. Even the Taoist friend 'General Lei Gong' from Haotian Sect is at a higher level than him."
"If it were in the present world, I believe you could kill him with millions of thunderbolts."
"But unfortunately, this is a strange domain where anything is possible. What he is about to get is an Apostle mothership that has the power to destroy an entire planet. Even a Sequence Four cannot withstand the baptism of orbital cannons from that huge mothership, not to mention other terrifying means."
"He has no humanity now, and he doesn't care about friendship. In his eyes, the Demon Star Lord and the Reincarnator have the same status."
"Fortunately, there is a chance for a turnaround."
"The mechanical body I control comes from the Transformer Clan. It was even on the Apostle Mothership and is capable of saving your lives."
"Once the survival time is over, you can leave on your own."
"Although this means that there is nothing to gain from this expedition to the strange territory, being able to save one's life is already a great blessing, isn't it?"
"But everything has a price."
"My protection is not free."
"Please give me some benefits to reward my kindness."
"Whether it's the Demon Star Commander or the fellow Taoists in the Reincarnation camp, the standards are the same and there is no deception for everyone."
This speech is eloquent, well-documented, and logically consistent.
No one can refute it.
Even though the "Thunder General Yang Tiangang" who was named had an unpleasant look on his face, he had to nod and admit that what Li Yu said was completely correct.
Yang Tiangang had a great time in the exploration mission in the past few days.
After all, he was the only one in both camps who could fight against those mechanical apostles without losing the upper hand, and he could even destroy lone apostles.
However, the situation suddenly became so bad.
Even a powerful general like Lei Gong faces death.
Of course, no one expected that at this moment, they would be blackmailed and asked to pay protection fees.
