Chapter 271 Big Gains and Big Costs

Without waiting for Li Yu to ask what the function of "Starburst" is.

Hongdou had directly executed the instruction, which made Li Yu instantly understand why Hongdou felt that this was the only chance of survival.

Without even a countdown, the entire [Death Star of Despair] began to explode.

The scene before their eyes could no longer be described as an earth-shattering collapse. Everyone could clearly see that the planet beneath their feet was disintegrating and exploding.

Unimaginable energy waves gushed out from the depths of the earth's core, dazzling light shone at the two poles, countless dust was raised, the earth cracked, and hot magma burst out... Although everyone began to try to escape the moment they sensed the arrival of the "Ancient Saint's Will".

But when these scenes appeared, everyone's faces showed despair.

The difficulty of conquering the strange domain seems to be impossible to be solved by shortcuts.

Or rather, fate is so unpredictable.

The nightmare level of difficulty should have created an extremely high mortality rate.

Previously, because of the "intervention" of the master and servant pair Li Yu and Hongdou, more than half of the participants on both camps had the possibility of survival.

Now, this ending has been corrected.

When the will of the ancient saints comes, the end result will be that no one will survive, and everyone will die.

The planet's self-destruction looked even more serious, and everyone on the planet would be killed.

However, in Hongdou's "calculation", this is not the case.

"When the Starburst function is activated, a vortex of extremely high energy intensity will be formed, which will delay the arrival of the Ancient Saint's will for at least five seconds."

"These five seconds are the master's only chance of survival."

"Inside the body of the Star Devouring Goddess, more than 90% of the energy radiation can be offset. The remaining radiation can be endured by the immortal body of the master for only about one second before returning with the power of the Demon Star Order."

"What about the rest?"

After listening to Hongdou's explanation, Li Yu subconsciously had a question in his heart.

And in the next moment, I saw the answer.

The self-destruction of a planet obviously shouldn't be so quick.

But the Death Star explosion was started under control.

It was Red Bean who pressed the starburst button.

When the spider web covering the Death Star was cracked to its limit, the core of the star collapsed violently, and a shocking explosion was released.

The entire planet was torn apart, and countless fragments rushed out with high-temperature plasma and energy waves, making the sea of stars as bright as day.

In the center of the explosion, a giant fiery red vortex was born, constantly devouring all matter and energy, and unimaginable radiation waves began to be released endlessly.

The rest?
There was no time to even wail or struggle. They didn't even have time to complain or curse Li Yu for collecting protection fees but not being able to provide shelter. They were then directly engulfed in the explosion.

Next came the five flesh and blood planets that dismembered Shang Yang. They were alive.

In a sense, it is the incarnation of the Nest Mother.

When they detect starburst radiation, they also want to escape.

As a "nest mother body" transformed from an entire planet, their speed is extraordinary, after all, they are driven by the star core.

Unfortunately, they all still had something in their mouths.

He ate one head, two legs, two hands and torso of the Six-Gem Divine Equipment Merchant Yang... He ate too much and was still digesting it, so naturally he couldn't run fast.

As a result, all of them were hit hard by the star explosion, their flesh and blood melted, and the nest mother wailed.

……

Li Yu himself had no time to pay attention to anyone at this moment.

Under Hongdou's control, the Star-Swallowing Goddess avoided the core explosion and took a defensive posture, but her body was on the planet after all, and the first wave of power still descended upon her.

In an instant, the Star-Swallowing Goddess, who had been so majestic not long ago, was disabled.

With his back burned and his limbs broken, Li Yu seemed to feel the "nuclear explosion" again in his most heavily defended brain area.

And the power is much stronger?
While immersed in the confrontation, he belatedly heard Hongdou's answer to that question.

He then heard the countdown and instructions from Anko.

Even at this moment, the two of them still maintained the unity of body and soul.

Therefore, the return also takes place at the same time.

"Participants from both camps!"

"Except for the [Forbidden Son], the chances of the others surviving are zero."

"Starburst radiation field is formed!"

"The will of the ancient saints is delayed!"

"Countdown five, four, three, two..."

"return!"

……

In the space of the Demon Star Order, a ball of charcoal only the size of a palm appeared without any warning.

Before long, the charred shell cracked, revealing the pink flesh inside.

And begin to grow, as if a "new life" is being nurtured in the mother's body. The blood vessels, internal organs, bones, skin... grow out little by little, visibly to the naked eye.

Because it is not wrapped in amniotic fluid in the uterus, it looks a little scary to be so long out of thin air.

That's right!

It's Li Yu.

The char was the result of him being exposed to about three seconds of starburst radiation.

Moreover, more than 90% of its power was filtered out by the Star-Swallowing Goddess.

Li Yu was very satisfied with this, it was a starburst.

Compared to this, a nuclear explosion is nothing.

Just one second, or two seconds, and he would have died.

The "Immortal Taoist" of Sequence Five is said to be immortal and can be reborn with a drop of blood.

But that was when he was facing ordinary opponents or attacks. In that situation, he could hold on for a second. In fact, it was because Li Yu was promoted to the top level and his body had mutated many times. To some extent, it was also the result of the protection of the true God.

The rest of the people were not so lucky.

Li Yu, who had just been resurrected, seemed to have thought of something, and a sigh appeared on his pink face.

"It's really a nightmare level difficulty. There's no loophole at all."

"There are too many factors that can lead to the destruction of the group. If we eliminate one, countless more will emerge."

"If Hongdou and I hadn't intervened, the fate of the others would probably be: Shang Yang successfully killed everyone and took possession of the Apostle Mothership, returning to the world with a horrific harvest."

"Because of me and my servant, Shang Yang died, but the changes and secrets in his soul led to the ancient saints silencing him."

“The process is different, but the outcome is the same.”

"Except for me and Hongdou, we're all wiped out?"

After Li Yu regained consciousness, his many thoughts and doubts were soon answered by the notification sound of the Demon Star Order.

"This [Desperate Death Star] strange territory expedition mission has ended... under evaluation!"

“Evaluation Complete!”

"There are three people alive in total, two from our camp and one from the Reincarnation camp."

"The Master of the Star of Misfortune has completed all the main quests [Exploration], [Collection], and [Survival], and has been awarded Merit Points respectively... Now he has 300,000 Merit Points."

"Once again, I won the first place in contribution!" "Unlock new privileges: You can choose the strange domain you want to enter next time within a limited range."

"Due to the emergence of many unknown factors in this expedition, the predetermined results have been changed... causing many unknown disturbances to appear in the super-large strange domain [sub-human star domain]. As the survivor and the first contributor, once a large-scale expedition is launched against this super-large strange domain, the main general of the Star of Misfortune will be 100% summoned."

"And as a survivor, the leader of the Star of Misfortune will definitely be dropped to the original site of the Star of Despair."

"And you will directly gain the hostility and hatred of the three major danger sources: the Transformers, the Mechanical Apostles, and the Nest Mothers... At the same time, you will also gain the favor of another danger source, the Super Stars."

……

The notification is not very complicated, but it contains a lot of information.

"Anko and I take up two of the three. The third one is probably the forbidden child."

"After all, he is the favorite male lover of Slaanesh. It is normal for him to come out to save the situation when life and death come to an end."

"Three hundred thousand merit points! That's a big harvest."

"This new permission will be very useful."

"It is equivalent to being locked in a super-large strange domain of higher difficulty in advance, and entering it will attract three kinds of hatred."

"Only one Super Star would be interested in it, and it's a life-threatening mission."

"The original site of the Death Star?"

"Given the style of the Demon Star Order, it should not be dropped into the void of the starry sea or into a cloud of planetary dust. This means that there really is an original site there."

"Star Devouring Goddess?"

As the thought flashed through his mind, Li Yu felt that he had seen through the truth.

Although the Death Star exploded, the [divine body] of the Star-Eating Goddess may not be completely destroyed.

Maybe there will be some remains left.

"If there is still a little bit of the Star Devouring Goddess left, then next time Hongdou and I are called in again, wouldn't we be able to take advantage of it?"

"I don't own that thing, but Hongdou owns a part of it."

"As for Anko not being able to bring it back, that makes sense."

"If you want to take something away from the strange domain, you must first possess it completely."

"Red Bean's control authority was already incomplete, and it was all used up later to trigger the starburst. Naturally, it cannot be recognized by the Samsara Skynet."

"But even if I bring Hongdou back, I can't use him. The goddess's body is full of the Hive Mother's radiation virus. Once used, Hongdou will be transformed and degenerated into a new Hive Mother."

When he reached this thought, Li Yu's body had recovered halfway, with his brain being the first to recover.

A clear perception emerged, and there was no doubt that he was seriously injured.

The long lifespan was cut in half.

At this moment, he was not even able to activate the [Eternal Life Sword Formation] again. If he did not take some "immortality pills" to make up for his severely depleted lifespan, he would most likely die of old age.

However, at this time, Li Yu was not in the mood to think about making up for the deficit.

In his mind, he completed a review of the expedition to the strange territory in the blink of an eye.

His brows furrowed tightly, and he came to a conclusion: "There are great gains! But the losses and costs are also heavy."

The harvest is easy to understand!

Hundreds of thousands of merit points, a large amount of secrets and knowledge, a complete 22nd bubble of truth, a treasure bag of food energy that can hold more than a mountain, and some exotic inheritances, such as the [race transformation technology] of the transformer clan, etc.

Not to mention the mission coming.

Although added together, they seem to be not as good as the [Immortal Qin Jade Seal] obtained in the previous Strange Domain.

But that kind of blessing and good fortune can only be encountered by chance.

This time, I have gained the above, which is enough to make others envious.

Most importantly, he survived.

This is the biggest gain.

After all, both camps participating in this expedition were almost wiped out, and there was even a Sequence Four warrior among them.

General Lei Gong Yang Tiangang!
Elsewhere, he is a strong man who can kill his way through the strange realm.

But his bad luck was that he entered a technological weird domain that was incompatible with him and he couldn't make use of his advantages. He died in a starburst before he could show off his power. It was really frustrating.

However, the first alien demon star commander [Forbidden Son], whose strength was not as strong as his, survived by chance.

But what Li Yu didn't know yet was:

After the Forbidden Son returned to his own world, he originally thought that he was the only one who survived because he was specially protected by the God Slaanesh.

But the notification from the Demon Star Order left him stunned.

He didn't take the surviving reincarnation person seriously.

What really made him fearful from then on was the "Lord of the Star of Disaster" who controlled the Star-Devouring Goddess in his eyes.

Li Yu’s honorific title!
Therefore, it spread to foreign countries.

Even further, he was once again remembered by the evil god, Slaanesh, and became sexually interested in him.

……

Li Yu didn't know this, but he knew the other costs.

"This time, we have caused a real big mess."

"Shang Yang is dead!"

"The will of the ancient saints will stop at nothing to kill anyone who knows the secret."

"Although I only know two key words and no details, the Ancient Sage will obviously not listen to my explanation."

"The only hope now is that the Ancient Sage mistakenly believes that there is no need to silence the witnesses. After all, under the [Starburst], let alone a group of Sequence Fives and Fours, even a Sequence Three might not be able to survive the power of the Starburst."

"The power and closedness of the Demon Star Order and the Samsara Skynet are definitely beyond the reach of the Ancient Sages."

"So, he will most likely mistakenly believe that all the participants are dead, and will no longer think about silencing them."

"Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of what happens."

"After all, everyone knows about the provocative bet I made with Shang Yang before entering the Weird Domain."

"If I reappear, everyone will know that I killed a merchant alive, and my reputation will explode again... If Hallownest only comes to retaliate against me alone and does not report to the Ancient One, I will be in life-threatening danger, but I can still keep it a secret and have a good chance of survival..."

"I'm just afraid that if the people in Hallownest mention it during their daily prayers, I'll be completely finished and hunted by the Ancient Saints all over the world."

"No, this is a piece of shit. The more you don't want something to happen, the more it will happen. There is no such thing as a peaceful moment."

"I had already caused a big incident in Wanfu City... I went to provoke Shang Yang for an alibi... and ended up causing a new disaster... Why is it that the troubles I have are getting bigger and bigger like a snowball?"

"If I wasn't sure that the Lord of Change was still being deceived by me, I would have started to suspect that all this was the work of the old sinister Wanbian, whose purpose was to take me in."

"How do we resolve this dilemma?"

The more Li Yu thought about it, the tighter his brows furrowed.

It is also because of his current heart and soul that he has actually been influenced by the "truth and authority."

The whole person has also integrated into the atmosphere of Wanfu City.

No matter how great the disaster, it could not make him tremble with fear.

Li Yu, who had not yet figured out a solution, did not have time to enjoy the abundant merit points he had obtained for the first time the moment his body fully recovered.

He was eager to go home and was eager to reunite with Hongdou.

In my heart, I thought:
"I have gained so many benefits. Hongdou briefly controlled the [Star Devouring Goddess] and obtained the inheritance of the Transformer and the Nest Mother. The gains should be great."

"Return to the real world!"
