Lanto looked sowhat dumbfounded, mainly because he had no choice but to be dumbfounded by what Li Yu said.
He originally thought Li Yu was trying to hog everything, having discovered the specialness of this Black Mist and wanting to claim it for himself, which was why he drove the others away.
In the end, Li Yu directly blew up the Lesteron Star, and now he was acting like an envoy of justice, demanding that other factions also not spread this Black Mist, otherwise they would be making an enemy out of him.
He didn't feel that Li Yu was selfless at all; instead, he felt it was sowhat unwise.
Because although Li Yu had a great reputation out there, it was impossible for him to ban others' ideas with just a single sentence.
Even the Star Glory Empire didn't have this prestige. Instead, it might lead to larger-scale research to figure out the specific uses of the Black Mist.
Wait... Could this actually be the other party's goal?
Lanto's pupils shrank. Under normal circumstances, after so factions received Li Yu's statent.
Their first reaction would definitely be—
You tell not to research and I won't research? Wouldn't I lose a lot of face then?
Who do you think you are? I'm going to research it and see what exactly this thing is used for.
Under this kind of mindset, the Black Mist might actually spread completely.
Lanto's expression changed slightly, not daring to continue thinking about it. He nodded and said: "I understand, I will publish this statent imdiately."
Subsequently, he left in a hurry, probably to busy himself with this matter.
………
Just half a day later, a statent from Li Yu ignited the Interstellar Network—
"...... Regarding the virus incident that occurred in the Lesteron Star System, after in-depth research, I found that it possesses a powerful infectious ability. To prevent it from causing more damage to the Interstellar Society, I decided to..."
"... and I strictly warn other factions, if anyone wants to use this to destroy the stability of the Interstellar Society, they will be making an enemy out of . Please consider carefully, various factions."
Before this statent was published, Li Yu was inford in advance. Originally, the wording wasn't this intense, but after Li Yu's modifications, the entire text boiled down to one word—Arrogant!
Through the ferntation of various incidents, Li Yu's fa had long since ceased to be confined to Returning Star. He had many supporters throughout the entire Interstellar Society, instantly sparking widespread discussion.
It mainly felt outrageous because Li Yu was ostensibly still a person of Returning Star, yet he had traveled thousands of miles to the Athyst Civilization to destroy a virus-infected planet and issue such a statent.
No matter how one looked at this matter, it revealed an eerie weirdness.
However, so people also believed that regardless of Li Yu's purpose, he at least destroyed a virus-infected planet.
The Interstellar Virus Research Organization affird Li Yu's contribution and sternly questioned the Athyst Civilization as to why they hadn't strictly guarded against the virus leak.
Athyst had long been accustod to this kind of bullying the weak and fearing the strong, and couldn't be bothered to respond.
However, so factions slled sothing unusual.
……
The Forerunners convened an ergency eting for this. Of course, it wasn't just because of the incident itself; destroying a planet wouldn't catch their attention.
It was because of the information revealed behind this incident.
"It can basically be confird that this special infectious virus flowed out from the Titan Sanctuary. The Interstellar Virus Research Organization nad it the Black Exile." Soone spoke up:
"This virus possesses extraordinary infectious characteristics and speed, as well as so bizarre properties that haven't been clearly researched yet."
"The virus is just a minor matter. Li Yu destroyed that planet; did he discover so other information? Or is there so other reason?" Most of them didn't care about the Black Mist.
They also knew that the upcoming Titan Sanctuary ca from the Life Titan tribe. They were originally a group of research maniacs, so the appearance of a virus was very normal.
"Since we have already been exposed, we must inevitably intervene in this Titan Sanctuary."
"Before that, we have a problem that needs to be resolved," the projection at the head of the table spoke, attracting everyone's attention.
He turned on the projection, which was precisely the Recording of Li Yu destroying the Lesteron planet.
"The intelligence organization still cannot find any information about the Other-Dinsional Camp. There are only so materials of unknown authenticity. This gives a bad premonition..." His voice was indifferent, unable to discern any emotional fluctuations.
In reality, he was exceptionally shocked by this. As The Forerunners, they were the Kings of laying low, yet they didn't expect there to be a faction even better at it than them.
Even with their tentacles, they couldn't find any useful clues.
"This person is the only clue. To find the Other-Dinsional Camp, we can only and must start with him!"
The Abyss Institute, Black Net, The Fallen City, and so other factions, due to various reasons, couldn't exert their full power and also lacked the ability to capture Li Yu.
But they were different. Even that "God of the Force" didn't make them fearful.
He knew better than anyone how destructive a hidden faction could be.
Without any clues, Alert The Enemy was also a good choice.
"The Titan Sanctuary has already entered a countdown. He should frequently appear near the Xisangke System. Formulate a plan for a one-strike kill!" He said in a deep voice.
"According to the Abyss Institute's data, he can summon an A5 Level chanical Lifeform at any ti, and possesses a Titan Artifact. He's very hard to deal with." Soone added.
He ordered: "Awaken Istrala. Machine against machine, just right."
A High Echelon mber couldn't help but stand up: "Istrala is a setup we've been arranging for a long ti. Are we activating it now?"
"We used a Titan chanical core as raw material, blended it with aberrant intelligence, to give it the potential for Evolution. And it took countless years to reach its current state."
"The outside world thinks Istrala was born accidentally, even Istrala itself thinks so. Are we really going to activate it?"
"No matter how long it's been arranged, it's just a Pawn. If not used, it will never have value." The projection at the head spoke with an iron-clad tone, clearly having made up his mind.
The others stopped trying to dissuade him, but he then added: "Wait, notify the Abyss Institute and have them contribute as well."
"If there is help, we shouldn't waste it."
Soone nodded, and the projections of those seated gradually disappeared as they went to busy themselves.
………
Not long after, in an unknown part of the Starry Sky, this was a planet that had already birthed lifeforms, its surface lush and densely forested.
However, a silver-white chanical tentacle tore through the Atmosphere and pierced straight into the crust. It was nearly a thousand kiloters in diater, and the surrounding Surface was densely packed with ravines.
Every piece of tal on the tentacle glead with a cold luster. Its surface was smooth, and chanical Suction Cups opened and closed from ti to ti. The terrifying suction force ford a compressed storm around it.
And deep within the chanical tentacle, Energy Conduits continuously extracted the Planetary Core's Magma; heat was one of its Energy sources.
Looking up along the chanical tentacle, after breaking through the Atmosphere, a mind-numbing scene presented itself.
A chanical Octopus far larger than the planet below floated In Space.
Its two glowing blue chanical pupils were each over a hundred kiloters in diater, flowing with a massive amount of data.
The rest of its tentacles danced irregularly around it, easily sweeping aside and shattering so small teorites.
The chanical Octopus——Istrala!
This was the terrifying creature Interstellar Nomads were least willing to encounter.
It was a chanical Lifeform with high intelligence, and at the sa ti, it had established its own affiliated forces.
It mainly collected various technologies to strengthen itself.
And the Artificial Intelligence's processing thod was simple and efficient. It would evaluate every lifeform it encountered.
If they were powerful and had backing, it would let them go.
If they were weak and had no backing, they would be directly Devoured by it and beco nutrients.
It was just that it had always wandered outside the main civilizations and basically wouldn't penetrate deep into civilization clusters, making it hard to pose a threat to large civilizations.
Because of its powerful Strength, no civilization or organization was willing to exterminate it.
And in the core part of the chanical Octopus, a black spherical object floated in silent space, with invisible transparent nano data cables crisscrossing.
"Enhancent Project T6677 - Missing incandescent alloy, dispatch Squad G3 to purchase..."
"Biological Project S5533 - Missing lifeform materials, dispatch Squad H4 to capture..."
"......"
This was its processing core. Every minute and every second, trillions of complex data passed through here, processed by it, and orders were issued.
However, today so subtle changes occurred here.
"Unknown code information invasion detected - Intercepting..."
"Interception failed... Core code disordered, underlying logic chaotic... Reconstructing... Reconstructing..."
"Detection failed... Detecting... Detecting..."
The core seed to be stuttering, constantly repeating this sentence. Its surface even rippled with red data Electric Arcs, trembling non-stop.
And the red data Electric Arcs began to extend outward along the nano data cables, infecting every data node they touched.
Eventually, the entire massive chanical Octopus emitted red Electric Arcs, looking especially terrifying in the silent Starry Sky, and its chanical pupils were also covered in scarlet.
The chanical tentacle inserted into the planet was violently retracted, causing the entire planet to break apart and spew flas.
"Target Locked - Li Yu!"
The space around the chanical Octopus began to distort. It directly vanished from the spot, heading towards the target's direction!
………
"Still no reaction?" Li Yu arrived at a certain Research Base in the Jade Void Palace.
In the massive Observation Room, there were already a large number of Bloodlust Mutants; they were all Marauders captured by the Transforrs.
And on the wall, written in the Interstellar common language, was—
I am Nurgle, let's talk
It was just that they clearly hadn't connected to the main consciousness entity yet, and were still wandering around.
"No..." Peyton shook his head and asked sowhat doubtfully: "Are you really sure they are controlled by a Unified Consciousness Entity?"
"Of course." Li Yu nodded: "When that main consciousness entity descends, notify ."
He had been developing stealthily just fine, but suddenly soone popped out and took out his lair.
He believed Bloodlust must be very confused and angry right now. At the sa ti, in order to find a new lair, he would definitely shuttle back and forth among the remaining mutants.
"Understood." Peyton was also researching these Bloodlust Mutants, but hadn't gained anything for the ti being.
And Li Yu was pondering how he could lock this Brother Bloodlust by his side.
The other party could unscrupulously shuttle back and forth among all the mutants.
This ability shared similarities with his Force Descent.
It was just that the other party clearly didn't have a System, so he must have relied on so kind of Information State ability.
Originally, there was a very simple thod, which was to gather all the mutants together, then Bloodlust naturally would have nowhere to run.
But now, that Black Mist had already been taken away by dozens of factions, and who knew how many mutants had been spawned by now.
Wanting to use that thod again was basically impossible.
However, there must be other thods, otherwise the Life Titans couldn't have locked him up.
Otherwise, Bloodlust would only need to hide a mutant in so remote corner to make himself invincible.
"Lock him up..." Li Yu's eyes flickered. As long as he found out how Bloodlust escaped, he could find the materials to lock him up.
"Nurgle!"
An angry roar ca from the Observation Room. The corners of Li Yu's mouth curled up slightly; he was here.
"My brother, you've finally co." Li Yu laughed.
"I knew you must be the one who did it! Why did you do this!" Many mutants spoke at the sa ti, giving the researchers a big fright.
"Of course it was for your own good..." Li Yu said with a smile.
"You annihilated hundreds of millions of mutants, vastly weakening my power, and you say it's for my own good!?" Bloodlust roared non-stop.
"I'm going to swallow you!"
Only by infecting more people would more Black Mist be produced, which could then infect higher-level lifeforms, forming a virtuous cycle.
"Look..." Li Yu wasn't angry, and pulled up a news channel—
"... Recently, a statent issued by Returning Star's Duke Li Yu has caused a widespread discussion. Many people believe that while powerful Interstellar lifeforms enjoy privileges, they should also benefit the Interstellar Society..."
"And this Lord Duke has set a very good example for us. He explicitly stated that if anyone secretly researches this virus and destroys Interstellar peace, they are making an enemy out of him..."
"What do you an?" Bloodlust still didn't quite understand.
"Li Yu is ..." He pointed at himself, sowhat shyly: "To tell you the truth, brother, I have sowhat of an evil reputation in this era. So... the things I forbid them from doing, they will most likely double down on."
Bloodlust was slightly stunned. There was such an operation?
"If you don't believe it, you can wait a few days, and then you'll understand." Li Yu said sincerely:
"You and I are brothers. In the entire Universe, only you and I share the sa existence form. Why would I harm you."
