"This Old Fellow has finally moved?" On his way to the Space Base, Li Yu noticed that Siegel had also made his move.
Looking at the position, he should be silently approaching him.
"Did he notice sothing because of my abnormal behavior?" Li Yu guessed.
His previous behavior had been quite regular, visiting the Space Base every three days to check the progress of the Death Star.
However, it had only been a day since his last visit to the Space Base; Siegel must have guessed sothing.
If inferring according to normal circumstances, assuming Li Yu didn't know Siegel's location, the excitent generated by the completion of the Death Star's progress would indeed seem to make him lower his guard.
In the eyes of that legendary Assassin, this should be a perfect opportunity to strike.
"Based on Siegel's past battle records, this Old Fellow is extrely cautious. If his first strike is unsuccessful, he will definitely not linger."
As Li Yu rode in the Spaceship, he pondered in his mind. In other words, even if he didn't resist at all this ti, Siegel still couldn't kill him.
Because he had Near-Death Rebirth, he could completely withstand one blow from Siegel. Seeing that he didn't die, the other party should temporarily retreat according to his past habits.
However, he couldn't rule out the possibility of unexpected situations.
Li Yu had deduced the scenario of clashing with Siegel. He basically couldn't win against the other party because this guy was too slippery.
But Siegel shouldn't think about killing him either, because he had many trump cards.
As he got closer and closer to the Space Base, Siegel still showed no signs of taking action, like a Poisonous Viper lurking in the dark, quietly waiting for the best hunting opportunity.
Both of them clearly knew each other's positions, so neither was in a hurry, feeling victory was within their grasp.
Twelve massive Transforrs surrounded a Temporary tal Fortress in the center. They had stopped transporting alloy into it.
Seeing him arrive, all the Transforrs knelt on one knee in the Starry Sky to welco their great Creator.
"Hmm, twelve A-Tier chanical Bodies, not much of a threat..." Siegel silently assessed. He wasn't in a hurry and was very patient.
Once, in order to assassinate a Civilization Leader, he had lurked in a Palace restroom that was almost never used for three months.
Only then did he wait for the target who needed to excrete urgently due to the accumulation of a chronic poison.
Since Li Yu hurriedly arrived at this Space Base, sothing must have happened inside.
He believed that after Li Yu confird the authenticity of that matter, his emotional fluctuations would be even more severe. That would be the opportunity of opportunities.
"Still not making a move?" Li Yu muttered in his heart. The distance between the two of them was now less than a thousand kiloters.
For a powerful A-Tier Lifeform, this distance was not considered far.
Under the gazes of the 12 Transforrs, he walked deep into this Base. Everyone working here was a chanical Lifeform Enlightened by Li Yu.
They were absolutely loyal and highly efficient, not needing rest.
In the center of dozens of transport conveyor belts, a special blueprint flashing with golden light was placed. It was exactly as Li Yu had expected.
The progress bar on the Death Star blueprint had filled to 100%. The model originally constructed of virtual lines was now entirely filled with solid alloy.
When thoroughly magnified, the details inside were incredibly lifelike. chanical parts constructed of steel and iron flashed with tallic luster.
This massive Interstellar Fortress unabashedly emitted a ferocious Aura.
The super-large Ultra-Material Reaction Chamber it was equipped with provided unimaginably imnse energy support for it, with a diater exceeding 120km.
Its main weapon was the Laser Cannon in the giant recess, and it had over 700 Tractor Beams and more than 15,000 Turbo Laser Arrays. It was a genuine super weapon.
Looking at this Interstellar Fortress, a sense of security welled up spontaneously in Li Yu. Range and firepower were the true dicines for peace of mind.
And after the progress bar reached 100%, Li Yu could project it into reality.
His perspective was infinitely stretched. He could manipulate the massive virtual Death Star as he pleased, but it couldn't go too far from the blueprint itself.
Once confird, he could release it into the Universe. However, once released into the real Universe, this process was irreversible, and he could only pilot the Death Star forward.
For soone who was already highly conspicuous like him, this wasn't a good approach, but he could also store it in the System Space.
However, doing so would lose the Scroll's ability to be released at a long distance for the first ti, which might produce miraculous effects, so he didn't choose to release it now.
To make the entire Death Star fully operational would require at least tens of thousands of soldiers. But Li Yu directly utilized the electronic devices seen everywhere, such as refrigerators, physical TVs, and the like.
He Enlightened them into Transforrs and had Claptrap load the relevant knowledge. Instantly, they beca Veterans of a hundred battles, with an extrely high cost-performance ratio.
Unfortunately, I'm severely lacking in Virtual Faith right now, otherwise, how cool would it be to directly Enlighten the Death Star into a Transforr...
Li Yu's thoughts wandered. His Virtual Faith was the energy source for the Allspark, and the Virtual Faith ca from the Transforrs.
In other words, the more Transforrs he Enlightened, the more Virtual Faith he would have, which would then allow him to Enlighten even more Transforrs.
Even though the number of Transforrs he had Enlightened was no longer small, and now he even had the "Twelve Golden Immortals" providing him with a massive amount of Virtual Faith...
He still lacked the power to Enlighten the Death Star, unless he went to find other Divine Spirits to forcefully borrow so Faith.
But besides the Radiant Council, where else were there wild Divine Spirits for him to rob?
Yet going to the Radiant Council just to rob Faith would simply be courting death.
Perhaps ditation was also a good choice; their Artificial Gods technology was quite mature. Many thoughts flashed through his mind.
Ultimately, he first put away the Death Star blueprint, and the entire temporarily constructed Space Base lost its value.
"Now that the progress for this thing is finished, I can leave Stuart. Does Hannibal really think I want to stay here..."
Stuart's defensive power was not strong. If powerful enemies attacked, they couldn't provide much help at all.
But that old geezer Hannibal actually thought Li Yu really wanted their protection. If he hadn't needed to keep an eye on the Death Star, he would have left long ago.
Just as he was pondering, the mont he stepped out of the Space Base, the slight coldness at the center of his brow suddenly surged. He sensed an unprecedented danger approaching.
His pupils rapidly shrank; it was Siegel!
This Old Six had finally made his move!
In a certain part of the Starry Sky not far from Li Yu, Siegel stared at Li Yu walking out of the Space Base.
Just as he had expected, the other party was clearly affected by whatever happened in the Space Base and looked a bit absent-minded.
Although he was relatively cautious beforehand, Proceeding Step by Step, when it was ti to strike, he wouldn't hesitate at all.
His eyes flickered, his arm swung, and a streak of Dark Radiance almost blended into the desolate cosmic background, shooting towards the target at a speed difficult to observe with the naked eye.
Black Blade, that was the na of his Dagger. This was sothing he had obtained in a certain cave on his ho planet when he was young.
That cave was full of complex high-tech Instrunts, and this Dagger was located among them.
It was precisely because of this Dagger that he was able to beco a terrifying legendary Assassin in a short period of ti.
And his Superpower seed to be naturally compatible with this Dagger, allowing him to develop many abilities using it.
[Death Cross Mark] was one of them, a thod of locking onto the target with the Power of Death and then killing them with the Black Blade.
This allowed him to complete missions while hiding in the dark, coming and going without a trace.
Sotis, he even felt that the Black Blade's power was far beyond what it appeared to be, and he hadn't truly unleashed its full might.
But there was no doubt that this Dagger was the call of death!
Every ti the Black Blade shot out, he felt a sense of confidence. Whenever this feeling appeared, his mission would be accomplished.
And this ti, this feeling was particularly strong!
"Welco death!"
Emotional fluctuations rarely seen appeared on his face, mixed with fanaticism and distortion.
"Enemy attack!"
The twelve Transforrs detected the abnormal Energy Fluctuation and reacted imdiately. The Red Dragon closest to Li Yu directly blocked in front of him.
Two grayish-black Giant Shields, resembling mountains, interlocked to form an indestructible barrier.
However, in front of that streak of flowing Dark Radiance, all of this was no different from paper.
The barrier was pierced through, and that streak of flowing Dark Radiance left a gaping hole right through the Red Dragon's body, with electromagnetic sparks bursting from it.
This should be the Blade of Gungnir ntioned in the data.
Li Yu's pupils dilated. The nano-flow on his arm receded, revealing the dazzling Infinity Gauntlet. The Infinity Gauntlet wasn't only ant for attacking.
However, right at this mont, his vision blurred, and a massive amount of golden symbols surged out. It was the Titan Inheritance again!
Why at this ti?
In a split second, due to the influence of the inheritance, Li Yu had already missed the optimal window for defense.
But fortunately, he had Near-Death Rebirth. Even if he failed to defend, he wasn't afraid.
However, an unexpected situation occurred. As the inheritance surfaced, that piercing sense of danger abruptly vanished.
When his vision beca clear again, Li Yu's pupils dilated slightly. A black Dagger was hovering right in front of him, as if having lost all its kinetic energy.
This Dagger was covered in mysterious pale-golden patterns and shrouded in a black, icy mist, emitting a chilling Aura.
What happened?
Li Yu was sowhat dumbfounded. How did this thing stop? Did Siegel suddenly grow a conscience and decide to Wash one's hands of the criminal life?
What he didn't know was that Siegel was just as dumbfounded as him.
He watched helplessly as the previously unstoppable Black Blade seemingly encountered so invisible obstruction and inexplicably stopped in front of the target.
"What kind of defensive thod is this?" He frowned tightly, completely unable to see any high-level Defense Force Field in front of the target.
"It actually failed..." Siegel hadn't expected his carefully chosen mont to strike to end in failure.
And the most critical part was that he hadn't even managed to probe out what kind of defensive thod the other party used, making it impossible for him to formulate a targeted plan next ti.
But he was highly experienced in killing and quickly adjusted his mindset.
It wasn't like he hadn't experienced a failed first strike before. He planned to retreat first and slowly plan later.
He raised his hand and, following a mysterious connection, attempted to recall the Black Blade.
However, what truly made him turn pale in shock happened. The Black Blade actually had no reaction whatsoever!?
How was this possible!?
Siegel was utterly astonished. Even the few experiences of failed assassinations hadn't caused him such violent emotional fluctuations.
The Black Blade had accompanied him for hundreds of years. After his parents and relatives all died, he treated the Black Blade as another form of spiritual sustenance for himself.
He and the Black Blade had a mysterious connection. This connection wasn't a digital intelligent connection, but a much deeper one.
Even if the other party used network isolation, this connection couldn't be severed.
But now, even though this connection still existed, the Black Blade turned a deaf ear to his summons.
"What exactly is going on!?"
Siegel fell into a state of mingled shock and rage, mixed with panic.
The Black Blade held extraordinary significance to him; it wasn't just a Weapon.
During the period when he was taken away by the Black Net Organization and underwent dark, sunless training, it was this cold Dagger that had given him warmth.
Unable to recall the Black Blade, he even abandoned his plan to retreat, although logic told him this was extrely disadvantageous.
He stared intently at Li Yu, covering his entire body in black Armor, and simultaneously turned on the Armor's Detection Device, attempting to scan for any abnormal force fields.
Yet the detection results told him there was no abnormal force field around Li Yu.
"Without a Defense Force Field, how could he control the Black Blade!?" Siegel couldn't figure it out. Then, his face was filled with astonishnt as he witnessed an unbelievable scene.
He saw Li Yu slowly stretch out his hand and grab the Black Blade hovering in mid-air.
This... this... this...
The Black Blade wasn't sothing just anyone could handle. The Aura of death contained within it was sothing even an ordinary A-Tier Lifeform couldn't withstand.
It was only because Siegel himself was special that he could master this Dagger at a young age.
But now, another person who could master this Dagger had appeared.
This scene gave Siegel an indescribable feeling, like having his lifeblood snatched away by soone else, or being unexpectedly cuckolded and watching helplessly as his beloved wife was played with by another man.
He even faintly felt in his heart that it was as if the Black Blade had actively thrown itself into another's embrace and ran off with soone else.
The rage in his heart erupted like a volcano, and calmness and rationality left Siegel. Right now, he only had one thought, and that was to snatch the Black Blade back!
However, what happened next was like a basin of ice water poured over Siegel's head, extinguishing all his anger.
He saw the Black Blade held in Li Yu's hand emit a deep Dark Radiance, and the pale-golden patterns on it lit up slightly.
Scale Armor-like patterns surfaced on the blade of the Dagger, undulating layer by layer like waves. Its internal chanical structure seed to be undergoing so kind of change.
Blood-red light intertwined with the Dark Radiance. The two entangled together, slowly forming a new form for the Black Blade—
The pale-golden patterns on the surface disappeared, replaced by red scale armor that undulated unsteadily like breathing.
Its overall Aura was even more chilling and eerie. This was the brand-new form of the Black Blade, a form Siegel had never seen before, yet it was showing itself off to its heart's content in Li Yu's hands.
