After dealing with this small matter, Li Yu had just withdrawn his consciousness from the remote Force Body when he felt an itch in his body.
Deep within his Corporeal Form, there was an inexplicable palpitation. The Cells in his body seed to have split into countless parts, each with its own consciousness, trying to beco independent from the inside.
Obviously, this was due to the spoils of war from Horus, [Superpower - Cellular Activity Proliferation].
Horus definitely possessed this Superpower when he was weak, and as he grew, his body was already adapting to it.
But this was Li Yu's first ti obtaining this Superpower, and it was a spoil of war obtained from Horus. It was an A-rank Superpower, which was already very powerful itself.
His body hadn't adapted to this newly obtained Superpower yet, which was why this phenonon occurred.
If looking from the outside, his body was bulging, and his skin squird like water waves. There were many small bumps on the surface, occasionally protruding and then lting back into the body.
This itching and tearing sensation filling Li Yu's entire body made him exceptionally uncomfortable.
However, he could only forcefully suppress this feeling and continuously adapt.
At any rate, he wasn't a normal lifeform now. His own Corporeal Form was very tough, and his Gene Chains were stable.
After about five or six hours, the anomaly in his body gradually subsided, and he progressively adapted to this newly obtained Superpower.
At the sa ti, his eyes glowed with a Crimson Glow. He could clearly feel the Cells undergoing deep-level activities, even bringing his Gene Chains into activity.
More powerful Strength was being developed. The tal Seat beneath him had already cracked, and this was the result after he had tried his best to restrain himself.
He floated in mid-air, quietly enjoying this feeling.
A few more hours passed before this series of reactions completely ended. Opening the Genetic Detection Equipnt, his developnt progress jumped directly to 35%.
A full increase of 15%. This was a very terrifying number.
Thanks to Li Yu's Corporeal Form never having had this Superpower,
That was why such potential erupted, directly pushing the Gene Chain Developnt Progress forward by a large step.
Moreover, this Superpower was more like a passive skill, and would continuously play its role in the future.
Furthermore, this Superpower enhanced his Cells, taking his physical strength to the next level, and his self-repair speed also had a qualitative leap.
"Tsk tsk, I really made a profit." Li Yu's mouth was almost grinning to the roots of his ears.
Spoils of war were one aspect; the rewards brought by the [Virtual Duel Arena] were another.
The battle rating of the [Virtual Duel Arena] was calculated based on the duel ti and the Strength difference between the duelers.
This ant that the higher the difference and the shorter the battle ti, the higher the rating, and the richer the rewards.
Normally, if Li Yu asked soone more powerful than him, like Horus, to play a fake match with him, there wouldn't be much of a problem.
But wanting to finish off the other party during it, that was a big problem.
Even if he explained that the damage received in the [Virtual Duel Arena] wouldn't reflect in reality, probably not many people would believe it.
And when the other party was in peak condition, even if he launched a sneak attack, it would be hard to truly kill them.
And Horus happened to be heavily injured, yet the true Strength difference between the two was huge, so Li Yu decided to make him the target.
In a short ti, this was already the thod to maximize benefits that he could think of.
He didn't know if there were SS or SSS ratings, but getting an S-rank rating already satisfied him.
Two vials of Potion, one Crystal. These were the rewards tailor-made for Li Yu by the [Virtual Duel Arena].
[Superpower Enhancent Potion S * 1]. This Potion was blue-purple and emitted a dense glow. It was unknown what materials it was made from.
Should I let Peyton research it?
This thought flashed through his mind, and was subsequently denied.
From multiple experiences, it could be seen that items and rewards from the System had their own unique rules, and ordinary scientific Instrunts couldn't thoroughly research them at all.
"But I now possess two Superpowers. I don't know which one this thing will enhance, or if it will enhance both at the sa ti..." Li Yu muttered, pondered for a mont, and still raised his head and drank it in one gulp.
The cold liquid slid down his throat into his stomach, and then integrated into his body.
Vaguely, Li Yu could feel an inexplicable Strength spreading out in his body.
He narrowed his eyes, and a blue arc surged out. The Electricity in the surrounding electronic Instrunts was all torn out, like tiny Mana Dragons, coiling around him.
The lights in the room flickered, flashing unsteadily, emitting crackling popping sounds.
At the sa ti, Li Yu could also feel the Cells in his body wriggling madly.
But this didn't last too long this ti. As the surroundings gradually cald down,
He clenched his fist. Although the Gene Chain Developnt Progress didn't increase.
He could clearly feel that his physical strength had once again received a massive increase.
This should be the result of the [Superpower - Cellular Activity Proliferation] being enhanced.
And afterwards, he raised his hand, and strands of hair-thin Energy inexplicably appeared in the Void around him.
They ca in various colors. They were free Energy in the Universe, possessing various characteristics.
However, under normal circumstances, they were extrely difficult to extract. Only through various Equipnt and Instrunts could these Energies be extracted from the Void.
But, with the enhanced [Energy Manipulation], Li Yu could do it with just a wave of his hand.
Li Yu pondered: "I feel that the intensity of this Energy Manipulation can allow to bypass the defense chanisms of enemy Armor and directly control the Energy's trajectory, which can play an unexpected role."
Although the [Energy Manipulation] Superpower wasn't sothing you could find on every street corner, there were many Technological devices that could disrupt Armor operation.
The simplest and most brutal were EMP Bombs, but external Combat Armor had always been the main auxiliary combat ans for Interstellar lifeforms.
To guard against such ans, various anti-Disruption Equipnt were naturally equipped, making it hard to be affected by external thods.
But Li Yu felt that his current [Energy Manipulation] might be able to do it.
After thinking for a mont, Li Yu took out the [Gene Developnt Potion S * 1]. With his previous experience, he didn't think too much and drank it directly.
Compared to the mild Superpower enhancent before, advancing Gene Chain Developnt was much simpler and more brutal.
Violent Strength exploded in his body. Invisible Strength pierced through his whole body instantly like Thunder. The deepest Gene Chain structures of his body trembled, crying out that they were going to break, enduring the ruthless infusion.
The bone-deep pain made Li Yu clench his teeth. His pupils were covered in red bloodshot lines, but he didn't utter a single sound.
The duration of the Gene Chain developnt was far longer than Li Yu imagined. He could hardly perceive the passage of ti and could only endure it passively.
He didn't know how long had passed before this tamorphosis finally ended.
Li Yu panted heavily, slumping to the ground. His whole body was already soaked in sweat, which was enough to prove how much pain he had endured before.
However, no matter how heart-piercing and bone-deep the pain was, when Li Yu saw the glaring 60% on the Genetic Detection Equipnt, it dissipated without a trace.
He couldn't help but reveal a smile from the bottom of his heart.
Worth it, so totally worth it!
Feeling the surging Strength in his body, in a short period of ti, his Gene Chain Developnt Progress had advanced by 40%.
Saving the hard work of others for more than ten years. If this were the case, he wished this pain would co a few more tis.
And as his Gene Chain Developnt Progress increased, his Strength also rose accordingly.
Reflected in data, it ant his base Combat Power Level had doubled.
And most of his abilities relied on his base combat power, using it as a basis for improvent.
The improvent of his base combat power was the most valuable to him.
In short, just one sentence: Aweso beyond belief!
Next ti he t Rohan, he wouldn't be completely without the Strength to resist, only able to rely on the [Infinity Gauntlet] to resist.
Li Yu secretly pondered, data on paper was ultimately just theory; specific combat power still needed to be tested in actual combat.
But right now, the most suitable opponent for him in the entire fleet was only Horus.
Unfortunately, if he dared to challenge him again now, Horus would probably disregard any consequences and go all out against him.
After adapting to the skyrocketing Strength for a mont, Li Yu picked up the final milky-white Crystal - [Faith Reserve Crystal S].
It contained extrely pure Faith power, and Faith power was the key for Deities to unleash Divine Arts and enhance themselves.
And Li Yu could use it as the Energy source to Enlighten Transforrs.
His own bit of Faith was truly too little, Not Even Enough to Fill a Tooth Gap.
He roughly estimated the Power of Faith contained within it, and it was quite a bit more than the Artificial Gods he got from the ditation Research Institute last ti.
I wonder if it's enough to Enlighten the [Death Star], Li Yu secretly pondered.
If he only Enlightened Normal battleships, Enlightening tens of thousands of them shouldn't be a problem.
But the [Death Star] as an Interstellar Fortress had internal chanical structures tens of thousands of tis more complex than Normal battleships.
Just to be safe, it was better to wait until Siegel snatched a few Artificial Gods back from ditation before deciding.
This ti the harvest was abundant, and Li Yu was in an excellent mood. He had people co over and clean the room, while he humd an unknown tune leisurely and strolled away.
And because of the "challenging death" incident, Horus ignored him for the next few days.
Li Yu visited to communicate several tis, but this guy also had a cold face, reacting flatly, looking like he couldn't care less.
Horus's appointnt had co down, and the main force of the Expeditionary Force had already returned to the Central Star System.
Only Horus and Li Yu stayed behind, staying in a corner on the edge of the No Man's Land, carefully hiding their Identities.
"It's ti to change places. We've been here for five days, the risk of exposure is extrely high." Horus found Li Yu with a sour face.
In the military appointnt order, Horus was just a temporary military advisor to the Black Pupil Fleet, and the true Controller was still Li Yu himself.
Although Horus found this kid extrely unpleasant to look at recently, he still fulfilled his due responsibilities.
"Okay, no problem. Where do you suggest we move to?" Li Yu inquired.
Horus unfolded the Star Map and pointed to an area on it: "The Star Glory Empire has been active in this area recently. They should be conducting Star Sector-level sweeps."
"We can head near Batur Star. Strictly speaking, it no longer belongs to the No Man's Land, it's just under nobody's jurisdiction."
"No matter what accidents happen there, it will be more convenient whether we need to retreat or advance."
"Then I'll listen to you." Li Yu nodded. He never voiced opinions recklessly on areas he wasn't very good at.
Horus nodded, his expression finally easing a lot. At least this kid wasn't like other generals who acted all high and mighty just because they had so ability.
Thinking of this, he added a few more words.
"I personally suggest, it's best to let the Camp take back that [Death Star]. An Interstellar Fortress needs to cooperate with a massive battleship formation to exert its due power." Horus suggested:
"And the scale of the Black Pupil Fleet is far from enough, plus, without planetary-level concealnt thods, it's extrely easy to be exposed."
"This..." Li Yu lowered his head in thought. Horus's words made a lot of sense.
The reason he hadn't released the [Death Star] from the building Scroll before was partly for convenience.
And also because he wanted to use the ability to release it at will near the building Scroll.
Now that the building Scroll had been used, bringing the [Death Star] around was too inconvenient. It was better to store it in the System Space.
"Okay, I'll have the Camp take the [Death Star] back right away."
Horus narrowed his eyes slightly, clearly noticing the casualness in Li Yu's wording.
This was enough to prove that Li Yu's Status was even higher than imagined, able to even issue so less important orders casually.
Horus nodded quietly. In the Withered Starry Sky, the massive [Death Star] had no vitality at all.
Not only because of its unique architectural style, but also because the "soldiers" on it were all chanical Lifeforms.
Under Horus's puzzled gaze, Li Yu had those chanical Lifeforms fly out from the [Death Star].
Then he put on an act and picked up the Smart Terminal, tapping it casually a few tis in front of Horus, and sent a few strings of gibberish to an unknown communication link.
Horus's gaze was subtle, secretly morizing those gibberish codes. This might be the Dinsional Camp's communication cipher.
Li Yu then slowly landed on the [Death Star], looking up at the endless Starry Sky, as if waiting for sothing.
Horus did the sa, and was even more focused and vigilant in his heart. Perhaps... this ti he would catch a glimpse of the mysterious Dinsional Camp.
However, as ti passed, the Withered Starry Sky didn't change at all.
Just when Horus was puzzled, the massive Interstellar Fortress beneath Li Yu's feet abruptly vanished into the Starry Sky.
When!?
Horus was utterly astounded. Such a huge Interstellar Fortress?
Due to the disappearance of the [Death Star], the Gravity around them changed. The battleships of the Black Pupil Fleet imdiately swayed and sounded alarms.
"Alright, the fortress has been taken away..." Li Yu leisurely flew forward.
There were no anomalies, only the Gravity disorder caused by the disappearance of a high-mass object.
The doubts in Horus's heart remained unanswered. He connected to nearby battleships and found that no Spatial Fluctuations were detected.
If it wasn't a spatial teleportation thod, what else could it be?
Horus originally thought he could catch a glimpse of the Dinsional Camp's mysterious corner, but instead found that the other party was even more mysterious.
