Assassins have always been quite troubleso entities. They would resort to any ans to achieve their goals, and a powerful Assassin was enough to make many faction leaders feel threatened.
Not to ntion Siegel, this Legendary Assassin.
No one knew his origins, nor where he accepted commissions from. Many speculated that he was an Agent pushed out by so mysterious faction.
But he also occasionally accepted public Bounties, which didn't quite fit the characteristics of an Agent.
Overall, this Crazy Bastard was very mysterious.
Being targeted by this kind of person also gave Li Yu a sense of crisis, because the Combat Power Level Siegel presented on the surface even far exceeded Morgan's.
Moreover, this guy was an Assassin. As the saying goes, It's not the theft, but the constant worry.
Where would he have so much ti to guard against Siegel, who could appear at any ti?
However, fortunately, not long ago, the Second Clone had obtained the [Bounty Hunter's Mark], which could perfectly be used on Siegel.
Siegel's [Death Cross Mark] had already caused an Information State entanglent between him and Li Yu.
When Li Yu used the [Bounty Hunter's Mark], Siegel's avatar was impressively listed and could be locked onto directly.
[Siegel Yuri: A collaborator of the Black Net Organization. He is a powerful Esper. During his childhood, the Black Net Organization discovered the potential within him and killed his entire family for it, in order to stimulate his powerful Superpower...
From then on, he embarked on the path of seeking out his enemies...
Weapon — Gongol's Blade: A powerful Weapon left behind from the Titan era. Only specific individuals can use this powerful Weapon.
Superpower — Death Cells: His Cells are filled with the Power of Death. After undergoing several Evolutions, he possesses unfathomable abilities.
Battle Record: ...]
A large amount of text information popped up in front of Li Yu, generally covering Siegel's entire life, from his birth to his Ability Awakening, and then to his first mission execution.
It could be said that from now on, besides the Black Net Organization and Siegel himself, Li Yu was the person who understood Siegel best.
Another typical story of To mistake a thief for one's father, Li Yu muttered inwardly. Using Siegel's entire family to stimulate the potential in his body, what a "top-tier plan."
Were they really not afraid that this Legendary Assassin would turn his weapon against them after discovering the truth?
Li Yu pondered. Siegel debuted over three hundred years ago, and he was already an A-Tier Lifeform back then. He must have undergone a long period of cultivation before his debut battle.
At that ti, the Black Net Organization was very likely still at its peak and extrely arrogant, not afraid at all of Siegel discovering the truth.
Unfortunately, under the AI Catastrophe, the bubble factions relying on the Black Hole Network instantly fell apart.
Furthermore, Siegel had now beco a collaborator of the Black Net Organization rather than a subordinate, indicating that so sort of unforeseen event must have occurred during this period.
At the sa ti, the [Bounty Hunter's Mark] also provided him with a coordinate location, which was constantly changing.
After pinpointing it via the Star Map, Li Yu found that these coordinates were rapidly approaching the Stuart Civilization.
"Hmm... based on this speed, it will still take so ti for him to reach Stuart." After learning the other party's life history and coordinates, the slight sense of urgency that had risen in Li Yu's heart vanished instantly.
Only Assassins hidden in the dark were worth worrying about, and Siegel was now completely exposed in Li Yu's field of vision.
Putting Siegel's matter aside for now, Li Yu continued his previous work. The chanical Ring was operating.
However, to avoid being discovered by the Salvation Ark, he temporarily did not connect with The Overlord, rely providing Li Yu with a channel.
...
In the Salvation Ark, inside the Laboratory where The Overlord was located, nurous Researchers were working tensely.
Ever since The Overlord exhibited consciousness fluctuations last ti and then vanished, a strict order had been given to all the Researchers in the entire Laboratory—
If they couldn't restore The Overlord's conscious thought, they would all have to die!
"Preparing for the 14,567th ntal stimulation..."
"ntal Resonance Instrunt activating..."
"Thought Wave Injection In Progress..."
"The Overlord's consciousness is silent, no fluctuations..."
"Experintal data recording..."
It was another aningless attempt. The nurous experinters present were already accustod to this result.
Like zombies, they tapped on the operation consoles, repeatedly conducting the next experint with the assistance of Artificial Intelligence.
However, right at this mont, one of the Researchers, who hadn't rested for several months and felt dizzy, picked up an [Intense Awakening Potion] from a nearby Table and downed it in one gulp.
The stinging sensation made his mind instantly clear. When he looked up at the Holographic Screen, the originally steady ntal Wave Flatline had actually begun to fluctuate rhythmically.
He was stunned and rubbed his eyes vigorously, seemingly unsure of what he was seeing.
Only after opening his eyes again did his inner astonishnt turn into wild joy. Before he could even speak, the Artificial Intelligence issued an alert—
"Consciousness fluctuations detected from The Overlord. Please activate the ntal Maintenance Device in a tily manner..."
Hearing these words, the Researchers working in the Laboratory all froze in place until the supervisor roared at them to hurry up and move.
They suddenly realized and began activating various Instrunts. The supervisor even directly called the Navigator. If they didn't show the Navigator their working ability now, this batch of people would probably all have to be replaced.
Familiar scenes appeared before his eyes. It was that Laboratory again, except the previously empty spaces nearby were now filled with more precision Instrunts.
Several silver-white chanical devices that looked like large pot lids emitted formless fluctuations, making his mind feel as if it were soaking in a hot spring, so comfortable he wanted to sleep.
In the next mont, that Navigator appeared here again, staring dead at The Overlord. That look was exactly like an old bachelor who hadn't been able to vent for years.
"Navigator, according to the Psychic Map, the consciousness fluctuations generated by The Overlord this ti are not much different from last ti. It's highly likely to be the sa consciousness." The supervisor hurriedly walked over, swiping on the Holographic Screen.
"The Overlord's consciousness last ti was highly likely not dissipated, but rather fell into so state we cannot observe."
This rather elderly supervisor explained excitedly. If The Overlord could give birth to a stable consciousness under his guidance, his Status would rise greatly.
"My Lord, The Overlord seems to be communicating with us..." A Researcher suddenly looked up from the operation console and said in an excited tone.
"What!?" The Navigator's figure flashed, and he had already appeared in front of the operation console.
"The Overlord's ntal Fluctuation is breaking through the surrounding blockade... and emitting rhythmic..."
Before this Researcher could finish explaining, he was interrupted by the Navigator.
"I know what the data above represents!"
The Navigator said in a deep voice, "Open the ntal Containnt Device!"
As soon as these words ca out, the minds of the nurous Researchers around shook. That supervisor even quickly stepped forward and said in a low voice:
"Your Excellency Navigator, The Overlord's Spiritual Body is simply too massive. If we open the ntal Containnt Device, we will have absolutely no ability to restrict The Overlord's actions."
"If it goes berserk, the consequences will be unimaginable!"
"Open the ntal Containnt Device!" The Navigator's mind was made up.
The supervisor had no choice but to honestly open the ntal Containnt Device.
And as the formless blockade imprisoning The Overlord vanished, an ancient and solemn voice also surfaced in everyone's minds.
"...Gen... so... kyo..."
"Gensokyo!?" The Navigator's mind shook slightly. The first sentence emitted by The Overlord's consciousness was actually "Gensokyo"?
"The Overlord?" The Navigator attempted to touch The Overlord with his own mind, but there was no reaction.
"...Gen... so... kyo..."
The Overlord was still repeating those three Interstellar common words.
The Navigator frowned tightly. The amount of information revealed by these three words was substantial.
For instance, how could The Overlord use Interstellar common language, and how did it know about "Gensokyo"? After all, from the mont The Overlord was born, it had been stored here, making it impossible to co into contact with the outside world.
Li Yu stayed inside The Overlord's consciousness. Every thought that surfaced brought imnse pressure to his Spiritual Body.
He was like a child sitting inside an Armor without intelligent assistance.
Fortunately, those "large pot lids" around him alleviated the pressure; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to hold on long ago.
The Navigator's questions were hard to answer. The supervisor's answer was that The Overlord was very special, perhaps having contacted this information from a higher Information State dinsion.
The Navigator could only reluctantly accept this explanation.
Regarding Gensokyo, this Half-Dinsional World, the Salvation Ark also stored quite a bit of data. However, after submitting that data to The Overlord, they didn't receive any response.
Motherf*er, what are you giving these common-as-cabbage materials for?
Li Yu was Muttering Curses.
"My Lord, The Overlord's consciousness fluctuations have strengthened. It perhaps needs more relevant information," a Researcher stared at the intensifying "Thought Line" and hurriedly reported.
The Navigator frowned. Their work focus was not on so Gensokyo.
So, he could only find the High Echelon in charge of intelligence to ask for information in this regard.
"Your Excellency Navigator, regarding news about Gensokyo, there have indeed been a few pieces recently..." The other party's answer exceeded the Navigator's expectations.
"According to the data we've collected, many top-tier civilizations or large factions have inexplicably intercepted Hard Drives claiming to have circulated from a secret Research Institute."
"Sealed inside are the coordinates and ti of the next appearance of the Gensokyo entrance."
"Oh?" The Navigator frowned slightly. "Such a big matter, why didn't you report it?"
Although their work focus was not Gensokyo, there was no reason not to snatch such a treasure.
This High Echelon shook his head: "Because there's a very high probability that it's fake. According to our informant's news, the Star Glory Empire found three Hard Drives, and the coordinates decrypted from each Hard Drive were different."
"Moreover, we investigated and found that there seems to be the handiwork of the Abyss involved, and it's only one of their tentacles. There's a deeper plan behind it."
To him, this kind of hard-to-verify information data was completely unnecessary to report to the Navigator; otherwise, it would only expose his incompetence in handling matters, unable to even verify the authenticity of the news.
"Abyss..." The Navigator's eyes flickered. The Abyss Laboratory, this powerful Research Institute that was on par with them in fa.
They had deep research into the sub-dinsional worlds of the Universe, having explored multiple abandoned "Divine Realms" and interstitial Dinsions.
"Your Excellency Navigator, how did you know about this news?" he asked sowhat curiously.
The Navigator glanced at him. The other party was a High Echelon of the Salvation Ark and was qualified to know this news.
Imdiately, he told the other party about The Overlord.
"What, The Overlord has consciousness fluctuations!?" The other party was very excited and imdiately said, "Then we should go open the Titan Sanctuary."
"The Overlord's consciousness is unstable. If we conduct a blind transfer, it's very likely to cause it to dissipate. We must wait until it stabilizes," the Navigator shook his head.
"Indeed..." The other party pondered for a mont. His eyes suddenly flashed violently, and he said, "Navigator, could this be The Overlord's prediction?"
"The Tiline prediction System we developed can only perform information deductions while The Overlord is passive, and there are too many possibilities..."
"But now that The Overlord possesses consciousness, it can completely actively make predictions. Perhaps... Gensokyo is the first thing it predicted..."
"This matter is highly likely to be deeply connected with The Overlord!"
Listening to this explanation, Li Yu was very satisfied. Not bad, very not bad, keep Overthinking, you're about to approach the truth.
"You an, this ergence of Gensokyo is not fake news?" the Navigator asked back.
The other party pondered for a mont, then suddenly said, "It's hard to say, but since The Overlord revealed this matter, then it's necessary to investigate it thoroughly."
"Right, Codri should be arriving near No Man's Land soon. How about telling him not to attack Li Yu for now? The Overlord revealed Gensokyo, maybe there's so deeper secret contained within..."
Hearing this suggestion, the Navigator looked clearly sowhat hesitant.
The Salvation Ark sure didn't give up. They sent soone to deal with again. Motherf*er, if I don't Con you until you're crippled, my surna isn't Li!
"The Overlord's consciousness is fluctuating violently again!"
"...Gensokyo, Titan..."
His ntal Fluctuation emitted a few more words, looking as if he had just been born and wasn't used to it yet.
Although Li Yu was relatively important, comparatively speaking, The Overlord and the Titan Sanctuary were even more important.
If what The Overlord revealed this ti was true, then it perhaps might not rely be used to open the Titan Sanctuary.
"Alright, I'll tell Codri not to make a move on Li Yu for the ti being, to hide and investigate the news about Gensokyo..."
The Navigator finally made up his mind. He looked at The Overlord with passionate eyes and murmured softly:
"You must grow up healthily..."
F*!
This sentence truly disgusted Li Yu. Plus, his own Spiritual Body had reached its limit, so he instantly withdrew from The Overlord's Spiritual Body.
And with his withdrawal, the previously occasionally jumping "Thought Line" once again fell into stillness.
However, this ti, the nurous Researchers didn't panic like last ti. The research supervisor even explained unhurriedly, "This is very likely because The Overlord's newly born consciousness cannot yet control its own massive and bloated ntal physical strength."
"Therefore, it fell into an unobservable deep sleep state. Your Excellency Navigator need not worry."
The Navigator glanced at him, but since this Old geezer spoke with reason and evidence, he didn't say much more.
