Buzz, the Command Center Blast Door opened, and everyone gathered here, waiting for Li Yu's news.
Seeing him return safely, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. It wasn't that they were afraid sothing might happen to him.
Rather, they were afraid he might arouse the vigilance of the Abyss Institute, causing all their previous plans and preparations to go up in flas, wasting ti.
"Do you need our help?" Codri asked, subconsciously assuming that the Infiltration mission hadn't started yet.
Because the ti Li Yu spent was simply too short. From when he said he was preparing to infiltrate to his return now, only about twenty hours had passed.
This little bit of ti was not even enough for preliminary preparations, let alone infiltrating a highly guarded top-tier interstellar organization.
Was this because he found the defenses too strict and gave up?
However, this was also very normal. If it was a frontal assault, nobody was afraid.
But if you talked about infiltrating, it was quite outrageous. Various Detection radars erged endlessly, and even with great Strength, it was very difficult to fundantally alter one's Gene traits.
Yasini looked at Li Yu. This powerful lifeform was carrying a simple and unadorned Long Sword on his back, the handle wrapped in black bandages.
He looked like an ancient swordsman from so Interstellar Biographical Novels.
"How about we give up on this Infiltration plan? The risk is too high." He believed Li Yu must have discovered the defenses were too strict and had no chance, so he returned.
Therefore, he offered a proactive way out to avoid Li Yu losing too much face.
What are you guys thinking about?
Li Yu had an odd expression and shook his head: "The Infiltration is already over. The specific fusion ti is approximately in nine days..."
Huh?
Everyone had a bewildered expression. The Infiltration is over?
You were only gone for a day and you infiltrated it? And even scouted such highly classified information?
Are the Abyss Institute's defensive asures a sieve?
"How... how did you get this information?" Codri asked subconsciously.
Even with his experience, he hadn't expected Li Yu to be done already. This person was indeed wicked.
"Just infiltrated and heard Sagura say it herself." Li Yu shrugged, sat in the main seat, and continued:
"Due to our previous attack on Shadow Demon, the Shadow Dinsion's power was reduced, so during this ti they have also been weakening the Light Dinsion's power."
"According to Sagura's calculations, it will take about nine more days. The Abyss Institute's Leader believes that right now, the attention of most factions is focused on their open and secret struggles with Returning Star."
"No one would expect them to suddenly initiate the Dinsion Fusion at this ti. It's an excellent opportunity."
"Therefore, they will initiate the Dinsion Fusion Project right after the Energy reduction is completed."
Li Yu revealed the information he obtained, and the scene instantly plunged into silence. Everyone Looked at Each Other in Dismay.
The detail level of the information gave them an unreal sense of reality.
It was as if Li Yu had stood right in front of Sagura and listened to her.
This is what Li Yu called "Infiltration"?
Did you infiltrate Sagura's bed?
After everyone digested the information for a mont, Yasini probed: "Can you confirm the authenticity of this information?"
"It can be confird. Sagura shouldn't be spouting nonsense in the core Laboratory." Li Yu nodded.
Core Laboratory?
Confird, the Abyss Institute's defensive asures were indeed a sieve.
The enemy infiltrated your core Laboratory and you didn't even notice.
The only relatively calm one was Codri. Although it was sowhat unexpected at first, he was the fastest among this group to accept it.
What was this? The other party even knew about the Salvation Ark's core secret regarding The Overlord.
He shook his head: "It's this thod of attracting others' attention in the open while achieving goals in the dark again. The Abyss Institute is really addicted to using it."
"Since we know the exact ti, we don't need to fear them suddenly completing the fusion. We can absolutely set up more asures and catch them Caught off guard," Felon said in a deep voice.
"Mm," Li Yu agreed, but he didn't continue discussing detailed operation plans. Instead, he asked:
"Can your Ark System bypass transmission diums and directly infuse Life Energy?"
This question change was rather abrupt, and being quite sensitive, the three High Echelons present were montarily stunned.
Only Codri quickly reacted, "You an Hyperspace Transmission, without relying on transmission nodes constructed by Spaceships."
"Yes, that's what I an."
Last ti in the Mariano Sector, Shadow Demon wasn't familiar with the Flower of Devournt and didn't attack with full force.
That was why the transmission nodes constructed by those Spaceships could survive.
But that thod was too troubleso. In the upcoming battle, protecting the Spaceships would be a very difficult task.
Codri and the other two looked at each other, seeming to secretly discuss sothing, and didn't speak imdiately.
Li Yu didn't speak either, giving them ti to discuss.
After about two or three minutes, Yasini, who held the highest Status among the three, spoke: "To tell Your Excellency the truth, we indeed possess Hyperspace Transmission Technology."
"However, this thod is relatively cumberso and consus a massive amount of Energy during the transmission process. The transmission efficiency is only about 2:1."
"The Life Energy consumption last ti was not a small figure, but since we actively invited you to cooperate, it could be considered our resource support."
Hyperspace Transmission wasn't just casually opening a Spatial Rift and docking.
That was too susceptible to destruction by space Interference Devices.
Hyperspace Transmission was more stable and wouldn't be interfered with, but the cost was also extrely high.
Since Li Yu raised this question, he inevitably wanted to borrow their Hyperspace Transmission Technology.
And Yasini's aning was also very obvious: this Technology costs a lot, what are you prepared to pay?
The attack on Mariano last ti was the Salvation Ark inviting Li Yu, so they proactively provided help.
But this ti it was Li Yu inviting the Salvation Ark. Although both were collaborations, the organizer obviously had to provide more resources.
"I can give you priority in choosing spoils..." Li Yu said, then added: "As well as an advantageous distribution of the overall spoils."
Yasini frowned subconsciously. Priority in choosing spoils indeed sounded very good.
But there was a prerequisite: they had to be able to win.
What if they exerted effort and ended up not winning?
Then what the hell would be the use of this priority in choosing spoils.
But he didn't reply imdiately, remaining silent for a few minutes.
Codri and Felon's expressions began to undergo various changes, obviously discussing again.
Finally, when the brows of the three relaxed, Yasini nodded: "No problem. Whether the battle is successful or not, we can provide this support."
"I just hope Your Excellency understands that we are not doing this for the priority in choosing spoils, but rely hoping to get along with you more harmoniously."
In short, providing Hyperspace Transmission support was not a big problem. The main issue was the Energy consumption, which made the Salvation Ark's Flesh Hurts a bit.
Moreover, there was a risk of gaining nothing, but on the account of the Other-Dinsional Camp's face, they were willing to provide this support.
Li Yu was sowhat surprised. He hadn't expected these people to broaden their path, making him a bit embarrassed to scam them.
"Then thank you very much. You won't regret this support."
Yasini and the other two were Noncommittal. It was still too early to say such things; only ti would prove everything.
Next, everyone began to formulate a detailed operation plan.
The greatest difficulty was confronting the Abyss Institute's Leader.
But Li Yu had already patted his chest and guaranteed that this big guy would be handled by him.
With soone handling the biggest trouble, the whole matter beca much simpler.
They only needed to stall for enough ti and wait for Li Yu's Flower of Devournt to multiply.
There were four Tier A4 Lifeforms present. As long as they only needed to stall for ti without fighting head-on, they were enough to hold off six lifeforms of the sa tier.
Coupled with the Lure the Tiger Out of its Mountain tactic before the battle, the overall difficulty was not considered high.
It was just that outside of this plan, Li Yu still had his own Petty Sches, but he didn't explain them.
Because his ideas would seem too risky to the others.
"Why must we attack right when they are preparing to fuse?" Felon was sowhat puzzled. "We determined the fusion ti just to prevent them from fusing ahead of schedule."
"Since it's confird they haven't fused yet, we can absolutely attack in advance."
"Because this involves the arrangents of our Other-Dinsional Camp." Li Yu didn't want to explain too clearly and directly dragged the Other-Dinsional Camp out.
"This... alright." Seeing this, everyone couldn't continue questioning.
After the plan was finalized, he dragged Hunter into a small room.
A Flower of Devournt surfaced on his palm. He said to Hunter: "Try and see if you can destroy it."
"Isn't this that eerie flower of yours?" Hunter was sowhat surprised. "Just one flower, I can definitely destroy it."
He didn't mind and casually swung his chain. However, as the Silence Chains swept across, the Flower of Devournt remained alluring, without any damage.
"Eh?" Hunter was sowhat surprised and attempted to try again. He pulled an energy revolver from his waist and fired an Energy Projectile, but the result still had no damaging effect.
"Heh..." He was sowhat unbelieving and took out a large-yield Psionic Bomb from his Space Compression Device.
"Scram, do you want to blow up the Spaceship?" Li Yu's face darkened, and he directly blasted him out.
"You told to try, I still don't believe I am Powerless Against a little flower," Hunter said unwillingly.
Li Yu ignored him, retracted the Flower of Devournt, and pondered, "[Damage Nullification] indeed works on the Flower of Devournt too."
Intrinsically, the Flower of Devournt was also a part of his body.
Just now, he had set Hunter as the target of [Damage Nullification].
"Since this is confird, my idea should be realizable." Li Yu's expression flickered.
………
Boriel always felt that sothing wasn't quite right with him these past few days.
That day when he went out to relax, he didn't know what happened, but he inexplicably returned to his own room.
Originally, he wanted to ask his colleagues or have Dr. Sagura check the base's surveillance to see what exactly happened.
After all, this was a critical mont. He didn't want to cause the entire project to fail because of himself.
But the way every colleague looked at him was very strange. When he asked if they rembered what happened that day.
This group of people always advised him not to think too much.
And when he sought out Dr. Sagura, wanting her to check the base surveillance, he was directly t with a cold scolding, rejection, and a warning of dismissal, which left him very bewildered.
Bewildered, he couldn't find an answer and could only pay attention to himself during his daily work.
But he didn't know what was going on. He would always fall into occasional trances, and his concentration was hard to maintain, which greatly distressed him.
Yet the base's detection devices didn't detect any abnormalities on his body.
Today, he was observing the compatibility between the fluctuation peak spectrum of the Light Dinsion and the Shadow Dinsion.
Suddenly, the projection equipnt in the Laboratory lit up, and a figure abruptly surfaced.
Upon seeing this figure, the expressions of the Researchers present all changed slightly, and they involuntarily lowered their heads.
The Abyss Institute Leader!
Boriel did the sa. They were employed by the Abyss Institute, and basically hadn't been forcibly abducted; they all signed high-salary agreents.
They had an employnt relationship with the Abyss Institute. After all, the Abyss Institute was also an established faction. If they relied on kidnapping Researchers, their reputation would have been ruined long ago.
It would be fundantally difficult to attract Researchers of Sagura's caliber.
Furthermore, upon resigning, they had to undergo mory clearing, which would damage their Brain Cells. To these Researchers, the damage was relatively significant.
However, the Abyss Institute's high salaries were enough for them to ignore this risk.
Yet they were also filled with Apprehension towards this powerful lifeform.
"You've arrived..." Sagura walked over, her tone quite respectful; after all, he was the financial backer and Boss.
"Mm, how are the preparations going?" he asked, the projection walking around various parts of the Laboratory.
"It's almost ready. Once the overall Energy of the Light Dinsion is thoroughly reduced, the fusion can begin," Sagura said.
The projection was sowhat blurry, its features unclear. Only the voice could be heard: "Dr. Sagura, you carry the hope for the Abyss's advancent. Do not make any mistakes."
"Rest assured," Sagura replied, her expression looking rather indifferent.
The projection inspected for a mont, eventually fixing its gaze on the red flower in the cultivation tank.
"I thought you only liked green plants and didn't like flowers."
Li Yu's Flower of Devournt originated from his body. He could freely adjust its manifestation, color, appearance, etc., which wasn't difficult.
So, it was very hard to recognize just from its appearance that this was the eerie flower that made the Shadow Dinsion suffer a huge loss last ti.
Hearing this, Sagura's expression showed so hesitation, and she didn't answer the question.
However, Boriel eerily felt gazes being cast towards him obscurely from all directions.
What happened?
This thought once again appeared in his mind.
The Leader didn't mind Sagura's silence. He subsequently chatted casually for a few sentences before leaving.
Sagura was different from other Researchers; she was soone he spent a huge price to coax over. Occasional emotional bonding was necessary.
