In the endless Starry Sky, a massive number of warships were arrayed here, layer upon layer, seemingly endless, yet distinctly divided into two completely different camps.
It was exactly the Troll Legion and the Four-Ard Titan Legion of the Star Glory Empire. The warships ford a circular array, encircling a large Star Sector within it.
A massive number of chanical Arms were working in the center. Various precise Technology equipnt were deployed, and Scanners emitting a faint light were operating.
Psionic Chains forged from Half-Material Crystal flashed with silver-white light, pulled into the Void by Dark Matter Buoys.
Ted and Raymond were discussing their subsequent plans. Ted paced back and forth around the blue Star Map: "According to the Empire's recorded data, this Half-Dinsion World is almost impossible to open from the outside."
"Even if its exit appears, we can only temporarily trap it here and wait for the Empire's follow-up handling."
"Mm." Raymond nodded, his face as indifferent as ever: "Just act according to the original plan."
Ted said deeply: "But the original plan didn't have a backup plan for the Old Ones. For so reason, that bunch of undying Divine Spirits also got involved in this matter."
The appearance of the Old Ones and the Grand Duke of Blood was not within the Star Glory Empire's original estimates.
Although because of Della's appearance, the Star Glory Empire learned of this matter in advance.
However, because the ti was too rushed, they couldn't make any more changes to the original plan.
"The Empire has its own preparations. We just need to stay ahead of those factions and seize the initiative in the fight for Gensokyo," Raymond shook his head and said.
It was very hard to hide the large-scale activities of the two Legions from the enemy, and there were also Spies planted by the enemy among the Legions' High Echelons.
It was obviously impossible to hide it from those people for a long ti, but what they were fighting for was the first move. By occupying the initiative, it would be enough to resolve so of the crises.
Ted sneered: "The reconnaissance units have already discovered quite a few warships hiding in the dark. I don't know what factions those trash are from; they can't even avoid Normal reconnaissance Radars, yet they still dare to reach out their hands here."
"Don't relax your guard; those might just be bait," Raymond warned.
"I know, do I need you to teach ?" Ted was sowhat displeased with Raymond's tone of educating a child. He wasn't a raw recruit.
But imdiately after, Ted asked again: "My only concern is that bunch of Old geezers from the Old Ones. Do you have any good ideas?"
"Just trust the Empire." Raymond didn't want to say more and casually brushed him off.
Ted originally wanted to discuss the next action plan with Raymond, but seeing Raymond's attitude, he also lost the desire to discuss, snorted coldly, and left the area.
………
anwhile, in another Withered Starry Sky, a black vortex suddenly appeared and continuously expanded as if it had no limits, quickly surpassing the size of a regular Main Ship.
It only gradually stopped when this black vortex expanded to the size of a normal Interstellar Fortress.
Then, the Void of this interstellar space began to tremble irregularly. If there was an Energy Detector, one could clearly discover that the Energy Fluctuation here was sharply rising.
In the next mont, a corner of pitch-black stone steps erged from the vortex. Following that, an incredibly massive Palace slowly squeezed out from the vortex.
This Palace was enveloped in a black energy Shield. Its surface was covered with countless complex Runes. The Palace's main gate was incredibly thick, standing several thousand ters tall, and was currently wide open.
The complex Runes on the surface of the Palace flickered as if breathing.
The faint light that lit up from ti to ti illuminated the scene inside the Palace.
Inside the grand and towering Palace, one Artificial God Statue after another could be seen. This scene not only lacked the slightest sense of holiness, but instead had an inexplicable eeriness.
The Ground of the Palace was covered with black dots that looked like ants, but actually, this was a visual displacent caused by the Palace being too massive.
The black dots that looked like ants were actually lifeforms wearing black robes.
"Chief, the coordinate location is still one or two days' journey from here, but to avoid being discovered, we set the teleportation point here."
Hearing his subordinate's report, Reinhardt nodded, and then his eyes flickered.
In order to deal with this incident, he had even brought out the ditation Research Institute's trump cards.
The Artificial Gods in this Palace were the result of countless years of painstaking effort since the establishnt of the ditation Research Institute.
This Palace was also referred to internally by ditation as the Pantheon.
And with not much difference in ti, centered around the location of the Star Glory Empire's two Legions, ard forces from various factions descended one after another.
…………
At the location of a certain large fleet, the fleet's style was very clearly that of The Council. The sun Emblem on the surface of the ship hulls clearly marked their origin.
The white-gold Main Ship in the center folded its radiant wings, looking like a divine bird.
Inside the Ship Cabin, several Divine Spirits were gathered together. Havard
"Not long ago, Your Holiness the Sun delivered a divine edict, ntioning that Li Yu is still in No Man's Land and hasn't evacuated. In the last battle, we caused Your Holiness the Sun to suffer all kinds of mockery."
"Now is the ti for us to wash away our sha."
His face was solemn as he looked around.
Last ti it was clearly your fault, and we were all just Buying Soy Sauce without any chance to act. What does Your Holiness the Sun being humiliated have to do with us?
"The target of the other factions is Gensokyo, which is what we call the 'Lost God Kingdom', but our target is not him."
Havard turned his gaze to the corner. In the corner, several tightly bound chanical Lifeforms were continuously struggling.
The Council's Path of Divinity had long been opened for countless years. At the Divine Spirit level, they possessed countless thods.
Through Believers, reversely tracking their Chief God. Although this thod was relatively difficult, it wasn't impossible to do.
It was just that this thod required the target to be within a certain range to be locked onto.
But this couldn't stump Havard. Since Li Yu remained in No Man's Land and hadn't left, then their target could only be Gensokyo.
This also ant that they could definitely find Li Yu this ti.
"It's just that, didn't Your Holiness the Sun's revelation say that he has extrely powerful escort forces by his side?" A Divine Spirit asked with so worry: "With our Strength, can we fight the people beside him?"
"Of course, just the few of us are no match." Havard shook his head, but his tone sounded as if victory was in his grasp. "But I have already investigated carefully. This guy has many enemies. As long as we use helping them compete for Gensokyo as a trade condition, we can easily gain the help of other factions."
"As expected of Havard..." The other Divine Spirits praised upon hearing this, but what they were actually thinking in their hearts was unknown.
As ti passed, the situation beca increasingly severe, and the dark clouds of battle enveloped this Star Sector.
So factions didn't even bother hiding anymore, blatantly appearing within the warning periter of the two Legions.
………
And at the sa ti, the Reconnaissance Ships dispatched by Li Yu's Black Pupil Fleet also approached here.
Their main fleet was still quite far from the Star Glory Empire's two Legions; they only sent Reconnaissance Ships to scout for news.
"These people really don't know whether they're alive or dead. Where do they get the courage to approach those two Legions?" Li Yu saw clearly through the Reconnaissance Ship, his tone quite amazed.
"Aren't they afraid the Star Glory Empire will randomly select a few warships to make an example of?"
"Just Cannon Fodder, it's no big deal if they're lost." Horus shook his head. Moreover, whether there were actually people inside those warships was still debatable.
"Anyway, we're not in a hurry. Let's wait for them to fight until both sides suffer before doing anything." Li Yu said leisurely.
These words fit exactly into the plans of the other two Old Foxes, who both nodded in agreent.
However, at this mont, in the fleet where Havard was, several Divine Spirits were surrounding a chanical Lifeform. It looked like it had transford from so kind of household appliance and had its network module removed.
It could only loudly curse the surrounding Divine Spirits: "You shaless guys, the supre Primordial Heavenly Venerable will kill you all!"
"..."
The many Divine Spirits already knew that the so-called Primordial Heavenly Venerable was Li Yu.
One of the Divine Spirits sneered: "Your Divine Spirit can't even protect himself and will soon beco our spoils of war. At that ti, you will taste the feeling of your Faith collapsing."
He was tall, with skin like withered brown tree bark, and several erald green branched twigs on his head, resembling so kind of tree Divine Spirit.
"Why waste words with these chanical Believers? Hurry up and start the ritual," Havard frowned and urged.
The many Divine Spirits began to chant ancient Incantations. Accompanied by brilliantly glowing golden Runes spreading across the chanical Lifeform's entire body.
He let out a miserable wail, and dazzling light blossod from his pair of chanical pupils.
From his Corporeal Form, a milky white dotted line vaguely erged, passing through all sorts of barriers and extending into the endless Starry Sky.
"He really is nearby!"
Havard's expression showed a hint of joy, and he quickly ordered people to locate the final position of this milky white line.
………
"I wonder how many warships are hiding in the pitch-black Star Sector around here..." Li Yu said with emotion. The Holographic Screen listed all the factions that might appear.
Just a preliminary estimate put the scale of the warships that might appear at over ten million, not to ntion the various factions hiding in the dark.
To say this place was a Flesh and Blood Quagmire was not an exaggeration at all.
"Ah..."
As Li Yu was lanting, a miserable wail suddenly sounded in his ears.
Hm?
Li Yu frowned slightly. This wail only sounded for an instant before disappearing, but Li Yu could be certain he absolutely wasn't hearing things.
He looked up at Horus and Codri, only to see the two of them also looking at him simultaneously.
"You guys heard it too?" Li Yu asked.
"Heard what?" Codri asked back.
You didn't hear it? Li Yu was sowhat puzzled. Then why are you looking at with such grave expressions?
Horus pointed behind him and said: "What's with this milky white line behind you?"
Li Yu's pupils shrank, and he abruptly turned around. Only then did he realize that an illusory milky white line was locked onto him.
And all the alarm systems on the warship had no reaction to this line, as if it simply didn't exist.
Many soldiers had already begun to take action against this milky white line, bringing over testing devices.
However, Li Yu instantly understood what this thing was. It was a Line of Faith, which was inherently one of the most illusory things.
Yet now, soone had made it tangible.
This was to find his location!
Li Yu realized. In the very next second, a set of location coordinates suddenly ca over the originally dead-silent broadcast channel——
"These are Li Yu's location coordinates. I believe everyone here is no stranger to him. Before the great battle begins, how about an Appetizer?"
The other party actually directly exposed Li Yu's coordinates on the broadcast channel. Moreover, this broadcast's coverage range was extrely large, clearly showing the other party's Technology level wasn't low either.
This action was no different from soone suddenly calling out your location while everyone was playing hide-and-seek.
Who knew how many factions were hiding in the nearby Star Sectors, all Slack Off in the dark while staying vigilant of their surroundings.
And right at this mont, one guy's coordinates were suddenly exposed in front of everyone.
If that guy was just a nobody, it wouldn't matter.
But the problem was, over half of the many factions present were extrely familiar with this na.
You could even say, Gnashing Her Teeth!
Li Yu's face was solemn. Without thinking, using a Line of Faith to find soone, this thod definitely ca from The Council.
Horus's and Codri's expressions also changed slightly. Although the two of them were considered big shots, they didn't want to duo the entire field.
"Based on this line, quickly reverse-lock the other party's position," Li Yu quickly said.
"Who is ssing with you?" Horus asked while quickly issuing commands, wanting to Warp away from here.
However, Hunter brought bad news: "It's too late. Soone has already started deploying Space Blocking Devices. It's hard to guarantee that no one will interfere when we enter the Jump State."
"This fast?" Codri was sowhat Speechless and couldn't help but say: "You have too many enemies."
Li Yu shot him a glance and said testily: "They aren't necessarily enemies. With so many hiding, and only us exposed, there are definitely quite a few who want to watch the excitent."
"This is trouble..." Codri's heart sank slightly. The Star Glory Empire, ditation, Abyss, Black Net, The Council...
He could casually think of a large number of factions full of malice towards Li Yu. Under the current circumstances, it was very easy to be jointly besieged.
They had been placed under the spotlight. Even if he and Horus joined forces, they might not necessarily be able to withstand it.
Right now, if any randomly hidden Interstellar Fortress gave them a shot, they could only call GG.
Li Yu also understood this reasoning. Right now, anyone could shoot at them, but they didn't know where to defend against.
The Council really gave him a precious welco gift!
