"The Divine Child and an A-class Priest appearing at the sa ti, this is no longer an ordinary Evil God invasion incident." Hannes's expression was grave as he spoke slowly:
"We should report to the High Echelons and wait for reinforcents."
"Huh?" A question mark slowly popped up on Li Yu's head. Even now, this guy was still thinking about retreating?
"Waiting for reinforcents is entirely too late. I guess the Blood Sacrifice will begin soon." Li Yu shook his head. It wasn't a guess; he clearly knew the Blood Sacrifice ti––five days later.
Originally, the plan of those Believers was to thoroughly eliminate the two waves of reinforcents from Return Star, then rapidly establish enough Flesh and Blood Quagmires to construct Divine Statues.
However, due to the appearance of the Transforrs, the Flesh and Blood Quagmires everywhere were heavily destroyed. Those Blood Beasts were fundantally transford using the flesh and blood of ordinary people anyway.
They didn't have much powerful Strength to begin with, and were basically Six of One, Half a Dozen of the Other compared to the Transforrs. In fact, given that the Transforrs had independent consciousness, they were even inferior.
"What do you an?" Hannes frowned deeply and reminded: "Evil God invasions have clear classifications. The simultaneous appearance of a Divine Child and an A-class High Priest, plus the possible appearance of a Divine Spirit's Avatar, can already be classified as [High Risk]."
"Before a [High Risk] incident, we can choose to wait for reinforcents." Hannes continuously hinted.
If Hannes had fled previously, he would have been sent to a military tribunal.
But now, he wouldn't face any punishnt at all. In fact, it couldn't even be called fleeing anymore, but rather a strategic withdrawal to wait for reinforcents.
"But... if you leave, what about the Hengfeng System?" Gober Can't Sit Still anymore. He heard the explicit and implicit hints in Hannes's words.
"Archon Gober... no... Interim Governor..." Hannes's attitude towards Gober was extrely cold: "I think... you can leave now."
"The others too, you can all leave. Commander Li Yu and I have matters to discuss."
Gober stared at Hannes, a roaring sound faintly echoing in his head, as if a certain Faith he had held onto had collapsed.
Is this the Return Star he believed in, the Faith he held onto!?
The conviction that supported him in prison collapsed with a crash.
Hunter supported the trembling Gober, exchanged a glance with Li Yu, and then walked out. The other Adjutants also walked out of the Command Center.
After they left, Hannes's eyes suddenly changed. He gritted his teeth and said in a low voice: "What exactly are you trying to do!?"
"I don't want to do anything..." Li Yu shrugged: "Just completing my mission."
"Mission!?" Hannes sneered twice:
"I know you're powerful and confident, but you must also know your limits!"
"Rohan's Divine Spirit Avatar is not sothing you or I can deal with; it's too risky."
Subsequently, Hannes sighed sowhat despondently: "Yes... I admit I underestimated you before, thinking you were an abandoned piece sent by Return Star, sent deliberately to die."
Li Yu then suddenly understood. No wonder Hannes's attitude towards him was so hostile at the very beginning. Even with institutional conflicts, he couldn't have been so cold to a reinforcent team.
Now he understood. It turned out this guy thought he was simply here to die... or perhaps to take the bla; an abandoned piece either way.
Thinking of this... Li Yu thought for a mont and said: "Do you know who sent ?"
"Who?" Hannes was sowhat puzzled, not knowing why Li Yu would ask this.
According to normal procedures, his request for reinforcents should be accepted by the Military Center, which would then dispatch reinforcents based on distance, Strength, and other comprehensive factors.
That was why he initially guessed Li Yu was an abandoned piece, because normally, it shouldn't be a newly advanced A-Tier Lifeform leading a crippled titled fleet for reinforcent.
Unless the High Echelons specifically assigned the mission. This kind of assigned mission was either to gain rit or to take the bla.
"It's Majesty Digor..." Li Yu spat out a na that Hannes completely didn't expect.
"How... could..." Hannes's pupils earthquaked, completely not expecting this na.
In an instant, he thought of many things. As the most powerful person in Return Star, if he wanted to kill soone, he absolutely wouldn't need to go through so much trouble.
Unless... this is a test?
He not only guessed wrong before, but was ridiculously wrong. Not only was Li Yu not an abandoned piece, but a rising star of Return Star.
Valued by Digor, Li Yu's future was boundless. Hannes couldn't help but feel sowhat envious.
Although he was the commander of the Patrol Fleet, which was considered a high position with heavy authority,
There were still the joint commander-in-chief of the Patrol Fleet above him, as well as the bosses of various administrative departnts. So people had less Strength than him, but he couldn't act arrogantly when eting them.
Unless he broke away from Return Star and was free from constraints, he could only follow these rules.
And further up, there were figures of the level of General Aethel and Prince Connor.
Being valued by Digor, Li Yu was at least at the level of his boss, or even higher.
But then, Hannes couldn't help but feel a bit of schadenfreude, because this "test" mission was truly sowhat difficult.
In his view, the reason Li Yu was trying so hard to complete this mission was because he wanted to elevate his Status in Digor's heart.
"I understand your intention, but this matter is very regrettable..." Hannes paused and suddenly stared at Li Yu sowhat suspiciously: "You didn't record our conversation, did you?"
"Let tell you, this kind of recording without my consent, if spread, will infringe on my rights."
Li Yu was sowhat Speechless. He glanced at the running 【Titan Colonization Armor】 and said self-righteously: "I already hold your Handle, why would I do sothing so superfluous."
"That's true..." When Hannes thought about it, sorrow couldn't help but well up in his heart.
Sigh... in the future, when purchasing Illegal Slaves, I should still use more covert ciphers; I can't be so direct.
Adopting the mindset of "too many lice to itch," Hannes said with reckless abandon: "The survivors on these two planets number no more than a hundred million; there is no need to take risks. You still have a bright future, why persist."
"We can just bring in a few Ecological Regulation Devices afterwards, and then transfer a few hundred million Interstellar Immigrants, and in a hundred years, it will be a thriving Star System again."
"The mission is so difficult, Majesty Digor will understand. Put bluntly, this is just a job; it's not worth throwing your life away."
Li Yu's expression was odd. This guy was truly a Talented person. If these words spread, he'd likely have to "punish himself with three cups" and sit on the cold bench for a while.
However, compared to this guy buying Illegal Slaves, this matter really wasn't a big deal.
Illegal Slaves referred to people with normal Citizenship who were abducted by Space Marauders and turned into slaves.
.........
"Why... why..." Gober murmured: "It's a Star System after all, there are still nearly a hundred million survivors after all... why just abandon it like this..."
"You are an old politician, too. Don't you know the faces of these people yet?" Hunter leaned against the mottled corridor wall and said casually: "But you don't need to worry too much; Li Yu most likely won't abandon you."
"Really!?" The fire of hope reignited in Gober's old eyes.
"I'm about 80% sure, because that guy... is a 'good person'." Hunter sighed, feeling disgusted by his own face flattering Li Yu. He had ultimately beco what he hated––referring to Li Ping.
Of course, the truth wasn't like this. It was actually because he had never seen Li Yu make a losing deal.
Spending so much ti here for nothing, creating those chanical Lifeforms, and fighting a battle with the Divine Child... how could he leave without gaining so benefits.
He hadn't seen the benefits Li Yu gained yet, which ant Li Yu wouldn't leave.
"That's good... that's good..." Gober murmured softly, as if grasping the last straw to save his life.
"Grandpa Gober, where is Lord Primordial Heavenly Venerable..." A childish voice sounded by his ear. Gober slowly focused his mind and looked down at the boy who had co to his side at so point.
He held an exquisite Flower Wreath in his hands, seemingly freshly woven with fresh flowers. The hunched chanical Body sat on his shoulder, coughing continuously.
"Do you have business with him?" Gober forced a smile and said gently.
"Grandpa Radio told it was Primordial Heavenly Venerable who saved us, so we want to give this to him..." The boy lifted the Flower Wreath in his hands, looking forward to it.
"He... is in a eting. I will pass it on for you." Gober trembled as he took the Flower Wreath. A faint fragrance drifted; there were still traces of soil on a few petals.
"No need..." A clear voice ca. Without knowing when, Li Yu had already walked over. The Radio chanical Body struggled to stand up to show its respect.
Li Yu nodded and looked at the boy. The boy's large eyes were wide open, sparkling with light, as if he was sowhat excited. "Are you Lord Primordial Heavenly Venerable? Th... thank you..."
"This is... for you..."
Li Yu looked up at the group of children around the corner. They varied in size, boys and girls, all looking at him timidly, not daring to step forward.
"You can call Li Yu..." Li Yu smoothly took the Flower Wreath and rubbed his head. "The Flower Wreath is nice, thank you all very much."
The boy was so excited he couldn't speak, his face flushed red.
"Archon Gober, regarding the supply issue..." A soldier hurriedly walked over and said in a low voice.
Gober looked at Li Yu, his eyes filled with inquiry, but he didn't dare to ask, afraid of receiving bad news.
Just then, Hannes walked over with a gloomy face. As if he hadn't seen anyone, he left straight away.
Gober instantly understood everything. He looked at Li Yu gratefully, then quickly walked away, simultaneously having the soldiers escort the children back.
"This Flower Wreath is nice..." Li Yu picked up the Flower Wreath with his finger, twirled it in his hand, and put it into the Compressed Space.
"Oh ho... the tough guy is showing tenderness?" Hunter teased.
"Just feeling sowhat emotional..." Li Yu shook his head: "I rember this Shelter was built Underground, right? Fresh flowers must be quite hard to find."
Hunter froze slightly, looking at Li Yu's retreating back. For so reason, he felt a bit of jealousy in his heart. Why didn't anyone give him a Flower Wreath...

Gurgle gurgle~~
The viscous blood pool continuously bubbled, bursting on the surface of the blood pool. Various indescribable objects floated up and down in the blood pool, mixed with black and yellow colors.
Crimson flesh and blood continuously writhed, muscle fibers pulled into threads, while stained with foul-slling blood, slowly rising from the viscous blood pool.
The flesh and blood ford a twisted ring. The blood mbrane within began to ripple, and the High Priest's gloomy dark face appeared in it. He imdiately asked loudly:
"Priest Otis, what happened to the Divine Child? How was it defeated!?"
Otis kept his head bowed: "Respected High Priest Yuno, the enemy's Strength exceeded imagination; this is an unexpected failure."
Yuno was the High Priest in charge of this operation, very powerful, and could even speak directly with Rohan.
While he was just a normal Priest. Although he was in charge of Planet Abundant Star, he also had to follow Yuno's orders.
"Otis, the day of Sacrifice is approaching, yet the Rations on Planet Abundant Star are continuously decreasing. Having only Believers is not enough." Yuno's face was filled with fanaticism:
"Sufficient food is also required to please my God!"
These Sacrifices were all one-ti deals, because it was very difficult for Rohan to develop his Believers in foreign civilizations.
Therefore, sweeping up the flesh and blood and the souls of Believers and leaving directly was the excellent choice.
However, due to the appearance of Transforrs, the Blood Beasts everywhere were continuously shrinking.
"This is my mistake..." Otis kept his head down the whole ti, restraining his emotions to avoid the other party seeing his disgusted expression.
Loyally completing the mission Li Yu assigned him.
"Respected High Priest, I have an idea..." After admitting his mistake, Otis continued: "It is very difficult to eliminate those remaining... ra... tions... in a short ti."
Otis clenched his hands tightly to force himself to say the word "Rations," while trying hard to hint to himself that Li Yu was not included in the "Rations" to avoid exposing any flaws.
"...How about you co to Planet Abundant Star to take charge of the overall situation? Initiate the Sacrifice on Planet Abundant Star and let the God descend... devouring everything. Those remaining... people, will likely be completely unable to resist."
", go to Planet Abundant Star?" Yuno's expression flickered.
"Yes..." Otis continued to add: "I don't have the ability to communicate directly with... God. The Sacrifice must be initiated by you..."
Originally, his plan was to Sacrifice both planets simultaneously, but now, because of Li Yu's existence, Planet Abundant Star had never fallen.
And Otis's Strength was insufficient, not enough to resist them.
Yuno considered carefully. He only considered feasibility, not whether letting Otis go to Planet Eternal Distance would snatch his rit.
There was no such thing as rit in the Divine Church. The great Divine Spirit would watch everything; only devotion could earn favor.
Otis said in a deep voice: "If we continue to delay, who knows if additional unexpected events will occur. We need to complete this Sacrifice as soon as possible..."
"Alright..." Yuno finally agreed. The Divine Child and the High Priest were already forces that couldn't be ignored; the other party might continue to seek reinforcents.
The Divine Statues on Planet Abundant Star had always been difficult to establish because the entire planet hadn't been completely eroded, and there weren't enough Flesh and Blood Quagmires.
Without Divine Statues, it would be very difficult for the Divine Spirit's power to descend directly, making a simultaneous Sacrifice impossible.
"I will forcibly initiate the Sacrifice ritual on Planet Abundant Star. You co to Planet Eternal Distance to coordinate with . The Rations have already been reduced significantly; we cannot let the other party continue."
Yuno manipulated the blood pool in front of him, chanting obscure Incantations in a low voice. As the flesh and blood writhed, they gradually solidified into a stepped shape.
At the sa ti, the blood pool in front of Otis also continuously boiled, slowly revealing deep flesh and blood steps.
Yuno slowly walked out from within. Otis stepped back a few paces, respectfully prostrating on the ground until Yuno completely walked out.
Only then did he get up and step onto the blood-colored steps.
