Eagle Vulture left the area with a dark expression, but Li Yu did not pay him much attention, simply watching his Xenomorph swarm depart.
A khaki all-terrain armored vehicle led the way for the Xenomorphs. The soldier at the wheel was already prepared to die in the line of duty, having handed his suicide note to his best brother.
"If the Ship Breakers look for trouble with you, absolutely do not act on impulse," Mole warned. He was afraid that Li Yu, being young and hot-blooded, would fall for their trap, at which point even he would not be able to stop it.
Naturally, he could also see that Eagle Vulture's goal just now was to provoke Li Yu and force him into doing sothing irrational. However, Li Yu had defused the situation in a rather clever manner.
"Relax, they shouldn't be too blatant about it." Li Yu always viewed the problem from an objective third-party perspective, so he saw things quite clearly:
"If the other party represented the official Athyst Civilization, their fleet would be bearing down on our borders right now."
Mole was blinded by his own anxiety. He had been thrown into a panic by the sudden appearance of that Athyst Civilization mber, which was why he had not figured it out.
Now that Li Yu had pointed it out, his mind stirred. "So that ans they also don't want to blow this matter out of proportion. They want to swallow the Athyst Core all by themselves, aning they only ca looking for trouble with you to eliminate an uncertain variable."
"Not bad. You're quite smart." Li Yu nodded in praise.
Mole's face darkened. He then heard Li Yu continue, "In this day and age, it's not like people don't know how to use the internet. If you leak the news of the Athyst Core onto the Black Hole Network, everyone will go down together."
"That's why they are keeping such a low profile. They must be waiting for a foolproof plan."
Mole's expression did not improve. After listening to Li Yu's analysis, he felt that Molcasar's future was even bleaker.
What did a foolproof plan an? A foolproof plan ant leaving Molcasar absolutely zero chance to resist.
In other words, Molcasar was now just waiting to die.
"Don't be so depressed. We can totally look at the bright side," Li Yu consoled.
Mole's eyes brightened slightly. Did this guy actually have so way to save Molcasar from the depths of its suffering?
Li Yu chuckled and said, "At the very least, you guys get to live for a few more days."
Mole: "..."
You have no heart!
...
"That guy was incredibly arrogant! He didn't put our Ship Breakers in his eyes at all, and he even threatened to grind your bones to dust and scatter your ashes!" Eagle Vulture reported furiously.
Yu Jin was currently examining the topographical map of the Molcasar Star along with so other data. Hearing Eagle Vulture's words, he frowned slightly.
"Is this God Slayer really that stupid? He's nothing but a C-Tier Lifeform. Where does he get the capital to act so arrogantly?"
Eagle Vulture felt a guilty conscience, but he still ground his teeth and replied, "He isn't stupid, he's just incredibly conceited! I was cautiously and discreetly gathering information, but he subjected to all sorts of insults."
Eagle Vulture forced his words to sound confident. Otherwise, he couldn't exactly admit that his boss's foolish subordinate—naly, himself—had almost been tricked by the other party into revealing his Black Hole Bank password, could he?
He was a rcenary, not a soldier, so he lacked strict discipline. Anyway, that guy was going to die in the end no matter what, so slightly twisting the story shouldn't be a problem.
"Alright, I understand. If that's the case, then he is nothing to worry about." Yu Jin didn't take the matter to heart.
"Aren't you going to teach him a lesson?" Eagle Vulture asked cautiously.
"He is just a C-Tier Lifeform. I can kill him with a flip of my hand. There's no need to cause panic on Molcasar over this. We'll wait a bit longer."
Yu Jin truly didn't care much about Li Yu. It was just that Kansa was naturally cautious, which was why Yu Jin had sent his subordinates to gather intelligence.
After Eagle Vulture left, Kansa, who had been silent this whole ti, finally spoke up with a hint of dissatisfaction, "Keep your subordinates in check. That man's words were full of holes. The real situation is definitely not as he described."
"The mobilization of the Athyst Civilization's Patrol Fleet will still take so ti. I don't want any accidents to occur."
"Don't worry, I will definitely manage them well," Yu Jin replied respectfully, though his tone actually lacked sincerity.
This also showed the contradiction in his attitude toward Kansa. Although he was respectful on the surface, he didn't actually care all that much.
Kansa could see it too, but he couldn't do anything about this Yu Jin. He snorted coldly, closed his eyes, and went to sulk in silence.
Ten days passed in a flash. The Ship Breakers squad was indeed low-profile, rarely wandering around the Camp. But whenever the Star Beast Tide descended, The Ship Breakers would step in to help. This also won them so prestige among the Molcasar soldiers.
Rumble—
The sounds of footsteps and beastly hooves rged into a torrent. The swarms of Black Lizards were endless, even though they had been continuously attacking for nearly half a month.
The sheer number of these Black Lizards showed no signs of decreasing. It was as if there were an infinite amount of them pouring out from beneath the ground.
"Kemo, head to the North District!" Eagle Vulture piloted his chanical Giant Bull. Every ti the cannons on its shoulders fired, they wiped out entire clusters of Black Lizards.
He rampaged through the Black Lizard swarm, leading the charge. The massive chanical Giant Bull was shrouded in an electromagnetic field, preventing any Black Lizards from getting close.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Nearby soldiers raised their large-caliber armor-piercing machine guns and opened fire on the surrounding Black Lizards. A continuous chain of explosions erupted against the beasts' bodies.
Thick, grayish-black smoke billowed out. Amidst the relentless storm of steel, chunks of flesh and blood constantly burst forth from the Black Lizard swarm.
Eagle Vulture looked like a God of War. The Molcasar soldiers all gazed at him with admiration and reverence, and they directed the sa awe toward the other mbers of the Ship Breakers squad.
After ten days of fighting side-by-side, the Ship Breakers had earned an extrely high reputation among the Molcasar troops.
Compared to Li Yu, whose single battle was as dazzling and brief as a shooting star, these Ship Breakers who constantly helped the Molcasar soldiers on a daily basis were clearly much more popular.
"Eagle Vulture, is there sothing wrong with your head? It's been ten consecutive days. It's one thing if you want to fight by yourself, but why drag us into this?"
In another direction, Kemo was completely enveloped in freezing air. Every Black Lizard that got close to him was frozen into a block of ice and then shattered.
He spoke with displeasure over the comms channel. The reverence of these Natives was utterly useless to them.
"I'm just eliminating a potential threat for the Boss," Eagle Vulture replied nonchalantly. A thick cannon barrel protruded from the chanical Giant Bull's chest, and a blinding beam of light carved a bloody path right through the Black Lizard swarm.
"Didn't the Boss say that suddenly eliminating that guy might provoke Molcasar into hostility?" Eagle Vulture piloted the chanical Giant Bull while effortlessly continuing his response.
"So tell , who do you think is more popular in Molcasar right now? Us, or that so-called God Slayer?"
...
Inside the spaceship, even though artillery fire raged outside, it didn't delay Li Yu from browsing the Black Hole Network. It seed the Zombie Crisis in No Man's Land had already been resolved.
This speed genuinely surprised Li Yu. There was news on the Black Hole Network stating that the Star Glory Empire had taken over the situation.
"They wouldn't be researching the virus, would they?" Li Yu muttered, rubbing his chin as he rembered the Virus Antidote sitting in his System Space.
"Aren't you going out to help? Those Ship Breakers have been fighting continuously for the past few days. I'm afraid they might be scheming sothing," the Hunter said, glancing at Li Yu, who was clearly brewing so kind of wicked idea.
"How is Mole's contact with your old buddies going?" Li Yu brushed off the concern and asked a question of his own.
He had already guessed about eighty percent of the Ship Breakers' motives, but neither side had openly torn off all pretenses yet.
Spreading the news of the Athyst Core was not sothing anyone wanted to use as a threat until the very last mont.
Once the news leaked, nobody would benefit. Therefore, right now, it simply ca down to whose thods were superior.
"The help they can provide is limited." The Hunter sighed, feeling sowhat lancholy. They weren't so Galactic Magnates, after all; they were just a bunch of Veterans.
"Since we're already retired, why bother taking on such a heavy burden again..." The Hunter continued to ramble. Although he hadn't gone out these past few days, he had been constantly communicating with Mole.
He spoke at length, but there was no response from Li Yu. He looked up, only to see that Li Yu's eyes had glazed over again, lost in thought over who-knew-what.
He instantly felt even more ntally exhausted. 'Sigh, why is my life so miserable? Why did I listen to Third Fatty's nonsense and go looking for trouble with this kid back then?'
Li Yu was currently flipping through his Task Log. Clone One had successfully completed the mission in The Boys world.
[The Boys World - Mission Completed: You arrived in this world. Supers were everywhere, and advertisents for The Seven covered the streets and sky.
An idea struck you. For the sake of your mission objective, you imdiately went to apply for a position. Relying on your formidable strength, you successfully joined their ranks.
The chaos within The Seven was despicable, but you felt as if you had returned ho. You and A-Train shared similar bad tastes, and Aquaman regretted not eting you sooner.
On the night Starlight joined, you stopped her from being victimized by Aquaman, but instead, forced her into your bed...
...]
Li Yu's face darkened as he flipped through the multi-page mission report. It really proved the old saying: 'If I had superpowers, I'd be worse than Holander.'
Most of the report detailed Clone One using his abilities and status to commit various acts of scamming, bluffing, and cheating. The tragic Starlight had avoided her nauseating fate, only to fall into the clutches of another scumbag.
Whatever The Boys or Hughie were, they were wiped out by Clone One the mont they appeared. Moreover, Clone One hit it off with Holander so well that they tead up to do plenty of dirty deeds.
Li Yu cursed inwardly. It took him a long ti to finally reach the end of the report, harshly criticizing Clone One's various actions in his head.
Only at the very end did he understand how Clone One, who was having the ti of his life, could bear to actually finish the mission.
[...Holander, with his twisted fetishes, beca deeply dissatisfied with you over a matter concerning his mother. A rift ford between you two, and he began to hunt you down.
Left with no choice, you infiltrated the Company Headquarters and obtained a large amount of Compound V.
Mission complete. Clone successfully recovered. Cooldown ti: 72 hours.]
This mission had taken quite a while, spanning ten full days, which also resulted in a relatively long cooldown ti for the Clone.
That was simply how two perverts interacted with each other. They could easily turn into bitter enemies over the most trivial matter. If not for that falling out, who knew how much longer Clone One would have dragged things out.
"So this is Compound V?" Li Yu cupped a handful of Blue Little Pills in his palms. This substance could awaken Esper Abilities in ordinary people, and if soone already had an Esper Ability, it could grant them a temporary Amplification.
Interstellar civilizations had never stopped their research on Superpowers, but the awakening of these abilities remained far too uncontrollable. If the effects of this drug were to spread, it would likely set off yet another storm of blood and slaughter.
