Although this skin made Saster feel very familiar, he didn't relax his vigilance because of it. He even demanded that Li Yu couldn't be too far away from him, to make it easier to monitor him.
"This is my friend, Coulson. He heard that I am currently fighting the Purple Crystal Imperial Family and ca all the way specifically to help ."
Saster introduced Li Yu to everyone in the Command Center. A gentle smile hung on Li Yu's face, yet it didn't feel like a programmatic smile, looking incredibly sincere.
"Hello everyone..." He greeted.
Originally, the people from the Star Glory Empire lacked interest and couldn't be bothered to pay attention to this balding middle-aged man.
But whenever they looked at him, they always felt like they had seen him sowhere, a baffling sense of intimacy. It was like an old friend they hadn't seen for years.
It was exactly this baffling sense of intimacy that made them nod to Li Yu one after another and introduce themselves.
This group of foreign aid from the Star Glory Empire was extrely leisurely. They didn't make a move easily, staying here to watch the show most of the ti.
Even a certain big shot hiding in the corner like a stone nodded slightly to Li Yu.
He was the one with the strongest Strength among this group, nad—Capone. Li Yu could feel a strong sense of threat from him.
"Where is Your Excellency Coulson from? Why do I feel like we've t sowhere before?"
Ulul ca up and took the initiative to speak. He was an orc with exuberant body hair, carrying a strong odor of sweat on his body.
No one ca close within four or five ters around him.
"I like to travel Interstellar space, maybe we really have t sowhere." Li Yu nodded, his attitude peaceful.
"Perhaps there really is this possibility, let think." Ulul fell into deep thought, as if pondering where the two had t.
The crowd didn't doubt Coulson's origin, because they couldn't imagine any possibility of Saster betraying them.
Saster glanced at them and didn't pay attention to Li Yu, who had already mingled with the crowd, but instead opened the Star Map to arrange the next combat plan.
.........
In the bizarre and motley Warp channel, a black Spaceship resembling a water drop was navigating rapidly. On the Holographic Screen in front of Morgan, Marta was reporting:
"It looks like he seems to have stopped in that battlefield, determined to use the power of the battlefield to resist you. You better prepare early."
"If he exposes his Identity, it's also a dead end for him, while with my Identity and Strength, no matter which faction I join, I will be welcod." Morgan also seed to have his own plans:
"As long as I determine which faction he is in, I can forcefully demand the other party to hand him over, unless..."
Speaking of this, Morgan paused. He didn't underestimate Li Yu. The other party being able to think of using this chaotic battlefield to resist his pursuit proved that this guy had the courage to gamble his life.
And Li Yu arriving at that battlefield before him and taking the initiative advantage, it was inevitable that so variables wouldn't arise.
However, he ca from the Salvation Ark. Whether it was Saster or the Purple Crystal Imperial Family, it was impossible for them to deal a killing blow to him; this was also one of his reliances.
Just then, Marta saw the constantly flickering expression on Morgan's face, hesitated for a mont, and gritted his teeth saying:
"Lord Morgan, not long ago I secretly used The Overlord to search for the greatest possibility of your future, and didn't find any anomalies or traces of battle."
"Hmm?" Hearing this sentence, Morgan's face suddenly changed. It wasn't a sigh of relief, but rather displeasure, as he scolded:
"Who told you to take the liberty? Is The Overlord sothing you are qualified to use!?"
As the Salvation Ark's most important secret, using The Overlord required a series of declaration procedures.
Marta's behavior was equivalent to bypassing the chain of command. If exposed, even he would be blad.
"Please forgive , Lord. If the organization pursues accountability, I will bear it alone." Marta said in panic.
Morgan frowned and said coldly: "No need. Having worked for the Ark for so many years, protecting you is More Than Sufficient."
"If this mission succeeds, the High Echelon will also Turn a Blind Eye, you don't need to worry."
"Thank you, Lord..." Marta breathed a sigh of relief, the tension in his heart dissipating. A surge of excitent welled up in his heart; he had gambled correctly.
From today on, his Status in Morgan's heart would be completely different.
"Continue searching, don't let go of any clues, analyze which faction he is hiding in."
Morgan hung up the communication, unable to help shaking his head. It was like this in any organization; bottom-tier figures desperately climbed up, even not hesitating to use their own lives as a Gamble.
However, Marta had followed him for a long ti. Since the other party used his life as a Gamble this ti, he should also show so appreciation, otherwise who would follow him in the future.
There was also a most crucial point: Marta had eliminated the hidden worry in his heart. Since there was a high probability of no battle occurring in his future, it ant this mission was ten out of ten secure.
Backed by the Salvation Ark and having given enough importance to dealing with Li Yu, he really couldn't figure out any possibility of failure.
The only thing to prevent now was the other party choosing Mutual Destruction, actively exposing his Identity to let multiple factions intervene.
He pondered over response thods, while also getting closer and closer to the battlefield.
As ti passed, two days quickly went by. During this period, the Purple Crystal Imperial Family and Saster had multiple small-scale frictions.
However, they didn't easily start a large-scale war, still in a rest and reorganization period.
"Heh... The Athyst Emperor has sent another communication request to The Emperor. Having reached this point, he's still thinking of letting him off."
Ulul chatted casually. Everyone had their own information channels and opened the chatterbox.
Saster's Heart Skipped a Beat, his heart almost jumping out of his throat. My stupid royal brother wouldn't have reached a deal with Li Yu, would he?
Another person spoke: "This Athyst Emperor has a lot of petty thoughts. Who knows how many petty actions he's taken in secret. The Empire's High Echelon has long been dissatisfied with him."
Soone else added: "It's said that the High Echelon directly rejected his communication request. Trying to make The Empire let him off with just one sentence, who does he think he is?"
"..."
Hearing this, Saster couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart. Good... Good, the Athyst Emperor didn't get the Heart of the Titan.
But this matter raised a sense of urgency in his heart. Ever since learning that the Purple Crystal Imperial Family attempted to trade with Li Yu, he felt very uneasy in his heart.
If the Star Glory Empire really let the Purple Crystal Imperial Family off, then his Status would beco very awkward.
Li Yu listened quietly from the side. Many people gathered around him to talk, and even considerately explained The Whole Story of the matter to him.
On the surface, the Star Glory Empire issued a statent that they wouldn't interfere in Athyst's internal affairs, but anyone with a little IQ could see that this was just an official perfunctory response.
Therefore, everyone didn't avoid "Coulson".
"This guy is quite popular. If this group of people from the Star Glory Empire knew that the other party was actually a mber of The Reforrs, I wonder how wonderful their expressions would be..."
Saster pondered in his heart, vaguely feeling a kind of anticipation.
Right at this mont, a subordinate communications soldier suddenly reported: "His Highness the Prince, a High-Energy Reaction has been detected, suspected to be an A-Tier Lifeform. The other party claims to be your friend—Marta."
"Oh?" Saster's eyes flashed slightly, looking at the black Spaceship resembling a water drop on the screen.
Sure enough, as Coulson said, the other party didn't state their origins, only contacted , not wanting the people from the Star Glory Empire to know.
Li Yu's gaze shifted slightly, but it wasn't noticed by anyone. The muscles all over his body tightened slightly, then relaxed again. Morgan—Blood Sea, has finally arrived...
"Everyone, I'll go receive him..." Saster said to the crowd with a normal expression.
The crowd from the Star Glory Empire didn't care too much. During the course of the war, there was no lack of A-Tier Lifeforms recruited by Saster coming early to participate in the battle.
Soone even spoke to Li Yu: "Coulson, this friend of Saster, haven't you seen him before? Not going to welco him?"
Li Yu shook his head, his voice gentle: "I seem to have heard Saster ntion him, but we are not acquainted. Better let them catch up first."
"..."
Morgan was waiting in the Spaceship. Massive battleships were all around, firmly locking onto him, but he wasn't worried.
"...According to Marta's information, there is a very high possibility that Li Yu is hiding in Saster's camp..."
This didn't exceed his expectations. Saster's power today far exceeded that of the Purple Crystal Imperial Family, and with the help of the Star Glory Empire, it was the best choice to resist him.
"Please follow the guidance, Your Excellency. His Highness the Prince is waiting to et you."
A voice ca through the regional broadcast, and several Flying Vehicles guided him toward a certain battleship.
Morgan was sowhat surprised. The other party actually didn't verify his Identity, but chose to et him directly. This gave him a vague sense of unease.
His Spaceship entered a certain battleship. Before he even disembarked, Saster himself ca forward, carrying a certain urgency.
Morgan keenly felt that there was no surprise or confusion in the look the other party gave him, as if he really knew him.
One must know he was posing as Saster's friend; the two didn't know each other at all.
But now Saster seed to know everything, revealing bizarreness everywhere, which made Morgan very uneasy.
"Soone from the Salvation Ark?" Saster got straight to the point right from the start. They were the only two people in the entire Spaceship.
He really knows!
It must be Li Yu playing tricks in the dark!
I don't know what that guy is planning, trying to use Saster's power to deal with ?
Morgan didn't play dumb either, but nodded and said: "Correct."
"Ca looking for Li Yu?" Saster imdiately asked again.
Morgan was instantly sowhat dumbfounded. Hmm? That's not right... How does he know I ca looking for Li Yu?
It was impossible for Li Yu to actively expose his Identity and tell Saster that people from the Salvation Ark were pursuing him.
According to his expectations, Li Yu should have portrayed him as Saster's enemy, letting Saster actively attack him.
But now Saster actively calling out his purpose made him sowhat confused.
What exactly is Li Yu's plan?
"Who told you?" Saster couldn't help but ask: "Li Yu?"
"You don't need to care about this..." Saster shook his head, a trace of doubt surfacing in his heart. Why would this guy guess it was Li Yu?
Does he think Li Yu is trading with ?
He didn't talk about The Reforrs. It was the first ti both sides t; it was impossible to share all information with each other, as this involved issues of trust.
Morgan was instantly even more confused, and simply asked directly: "What is your purpose?"
"My purpose..." Saster's smile contained a deep aning: "Help eliminate the Purple Crystal Imperial Family, and Li Yu and the Heart of the Titan can both be given to you."
That's right, he didn't listen to "Coulson's" words to choose to cooperate with The Reforrs—jointly resisting the people from the Salvation Ark, and dividing the spoils afterwards.
The Reforrs were being secretive, definitely not purely for the sake of so two key organization mbers. Perhaps the other party wanted to take all.
Instead, even if the plan succeeded, and in the end he gained the upper hand in the ga with The Reforrs, snatching the Heart of the Titan and Li Yu, it wouldn't be of any use.
The Star Glory Empire needed the Heart of the Titan and Li Yu, and he himself didn't need them.
With the help of the Star Glory Empire, he was about to control Athyst. Even if he got the Heart of the Titan later and handed it over to the Star Glory Empire.
The Star Glory Empire wouldn't give him more rewards, but would think this was what he ought to do.
Therefore, cooperating with The Reforrs to resist the Salvation Ark wasn't his best choice.
On the contrary, if he cooperated with the Salvation Ark, he could get more.
Giving the Heart of the Titan and Li Yu to them would also allow him to connect with this premier large-scale Laboratory and establish a good relationship.
As for The Reforrs? Go play with eggs on the side, an unpresentable organization.
Listening to Saster's remarks, Morgan didn't have the excitent of a Pie in the sky. Instead, he frowned and said: "With the current situation, your victory is a certainty. Why go to the trouble of having help you."
"What I want is not an awful ss!" Saster said coldly: "The Star Glory Empire only wants to give an awful ss, using this to beat other affiliated civilizations."
Morgan didn't expect this to be the final result. However... in that case, the result seed pretty good too.
Not only could he get Li Yu and the Heart of the Titan, he could even plant a crucial Pawn in the Athyst Civilization, which might be of great use in the future.
"Cooperation reached..." Morgan was in a pleasant mood. This mission was far easier than he had imagined.
He vaguely perceived that Li Yu was indeed doing sothing in the dark, but the plan didn't develop as the other party expected.
Saster chose a path that was more beneficial to himself.
I overestimated him... Morgan shook his head secretly. Although he knew Li Yu definitely wouldn't surrender without a fight, but would choose to do sothing in the dark.
But people like Saster weren't Idiots; they wouldn't easily believe the things the other party ca up with.
The cooperation was initially reached, and the two could be considered to have established a foundation of trust. Morgan then opened his mouth to inquire: "What was your original plan?"
"Join hands to deal with you, but I felt that wouldn't be too beneficial to ." Saster said.
"You made a wise choice..." Morgan chuckled twice: "Li Yu thought too much as a matter of course. No one will act blindly; only by weighing the pros and cons can one make a better choice."
Listening to the goodwill in the other party's tone, Saster wasn't happy, but instead sowhat puzzled: "Why do you think it's Li Yu who is cooperating with ?"
"Isn't it?" Morgan was slightly stunned, asking back.
"Of course not..." Saster shook his head: "It's The Reforrs..."
"The Reforrs?" Morgan was sowhat bewildered. When did The Reforrs get involved?
Looking at the other party's bewildered eyes, Saster suddenly felt that sothing was wrong.
Right at this mont, both of their faces changed drastically at the sa ti. An unimaginable Gravity field suddenly generated here, and the surrounding tal structures twisted instantly, emitting sounds of being overwheld.
