In a gloomy Basent, the lighting was dim, with only a small window letting in a few rays of light.
Little Demon Giant stood on Tu Rui's shoulders, peering curiously through the small window at everything outside.
Tu Rui's expression gradually relaxed. He was not overly surprised by Li Yu's actions; he was an adult Troll.
'I fra you, you fra —this is the norm in the Interstellar Society. How could there be a rule where only I am allowed to strike at you, but you cannot strike back?'
That was until... his Smart Terminal vibrated. Tu Rui glanced down, and veins imdiately bulged along his thick arms. He clenched his fists tight, harboring a terrifying strength capable of crushing anything to dust.
"Heh... heh..." A few indescribable guttural sounds escaped Tu Rui's throat.
"Papa... what's wrong?" Little Tu Rui leaned over, resting against the top of Tu Rui's head. His voice was soft and highly immature.
The muscles in Tu Rui's body suddenly relaxed, and his voice smoothed out. "It's nothing..."
He cast a glance at the adorable Little Demon Giant. When he chose to purchase the heart of his own Tribesn, he had already prepared himself for exile from his race.
However... Taotie had unexpectedly procured the hearts of Troll twins, making him realize that... things had spiraled completely out of control.
Taotie was likely trying to use this as leverage over him. The heart of one young Troll could barely be covered up...
But the deaths of two young Trolls and the disappearance of their hearts would undoubtedly trigger a thorough investigation by the Troll race.
Although he had managed to shake off Li Yu's grip on him at the ti, he paid a steep price. It was safe to say... the seeds of disaster had long been sown.
It would be incredibly difficult to keep it hidden, so he could only stall for ti as much as possible. He had long been prepared for the inevitable discovery.
Whether he was actively sold out or discovered through A Twist of Fate... it made no difference to him. It was rely a matter of how much ti he could buy.
The real problem was... with the deaths of the two young Trolls, the current wrath of his Tribesn would be nearly impossible for him to quell alone, even if he paid with his own life.
Tu Rui lowered his gaze, staring at a line of text on the smart screen, lost in unknown thoughts.
.........
Back in the Clinic, Li Yu was in a fantastic mood. The pain of his enemies was his own joy—he understood this logic perfectly.
The roaring of Dark Star Ships could be heard intermittently. They were being heavily bogged down by that Princess of the night.
Inside the Dark Star Main Ship...
"Commander, Dulang City... Saka City... Flying Vehicles are launching from both locations..."
"The Orbital Cannon is facing Disruption... it cannot be used temporarily..."
"Deploy the fleet to intercept... shoot them down imdiately..." The chanically processed voice was freezing cold. Even though those Spaceships might carry an Imperial Noble, she did not care.
The orders she had received... were rely to prevent other factions from obtaining the Imperial Noble.
Dozens of Ships seed like a lot, but scattered across the entirety of Heavenly Desolation Star, it was actually far from enough. Moreover, a portion had to be diverted to continue monitoring that deranged daughter of a Councilor.
"The Ghost Squad, the Mithril Church, and a few other factions have all suspended their pursuit of the killer..." soone reported.
Who could possibly endure that madwoman's wild goose chase? Only Dark Star possessed the sufficient manpower and resources to continue the surveillance.
As night fell, Crimson Tail Flas frequently streaked across the firmant.
At exactly midnight, the System Log refreshed, and Li Yu fell into a daze once again.
[Day Six - Transforrs World: Due to the death of his Girlfriend, Sam spiraled into madness. His recklessness triggered the final battle prematurely.
Because of the onset of the decisive battle, the Autobot forces surrounding him were also weakened. You got your wish and took him out.
Upon killing Sam, a shiver ran through you. An overwhelming emptiness set in, and you felt as though you had lost your purpose in Life.
During the final clash, gatron's constant barking of orders dissatisfied you. You backstabbed gatron in the middle of the battle, leading to his death.
gatron's dying counterattack also cost you your life.
Loss of Vital Signs: Avatar judged as dead...]
[Obtained Special Item - gatron's Command, extract?]
[Survival Milestone Reward - Six Days - Obtained Charging Barrier (D)]
[Avatar retrieved... Cooling down... Cooldown ti 24 hours...]
'Dead?' Li Yu was caught sowhat off guard. He had assud Clone One would manage to scrape by for at least a few more days. He never expected that after eliminating Tom, it would imdiately lose its life goal and start courting death.
Backstabbing gatron was quite the move, directly altering the Plot. Since the majority of the rewards had already been extracted early, all that remained was a so-called special gift package and a Survival Milestone Reward.
[Special Item - gatron's Command: The leader of the Decepticons, the immortal gatron—his orders should be un-defiable by anyone.
The target lifeform will absolutely never execute the command you issue (Note: Single-use consumable.)]
'What the hell is this?' Li Yu's expression turned peculiar. If it had been sothing like the Adamantine sword or the Allspark, he would not have complained.
This gatron's Command and Starscream's Heart were essentially the sa concept. To so extent, they were heaven-defyingly powerful, but their effectiveness entirely depended on the timing of their use.
The item took the form of a chibi portrait of gatron. It looked bizarre, yet sowhat cute.
As for the Charging Barrier, it was much simpler: a palm-sized, shield-shaped tal block capable of projecting a Protective Shield.
It was like an Energy Shield from Opto-Electric Technology, except it could automatically recharge itself, which was pretty good.
After all, the Avatar had only survived for six days. It was nice enough to get sothing like this.
[Day Five - Dune World: The Sand Worm's favor toward you completely changed the Fren's attitude, leading them to treat you as an honored guest.
Paul sought your guidance, harboring a deep yearning for your overwhelming Strength.
You guided Paul with utmost patience, causing him to view you as a Life ntor and treat you with imnse respect.]
[Obtained Blue Title - Life ntor - Gold, extract?]
'A Blue Title? Gold?' Li Yu's breathing hitched. He had tangibly experienced the practical benefits of the "Wanted Criminal" title.
He extracted it without hesitation...
[Blue Title - Life ntor - Gold: Your words are brimming with power, and your actions serve as a guiding light. When facing those who are lost, you can point them in the right direction, and they will see you as an esteed ntor (Note: Believers may beco extrely fanatical)]
Though the description seed quite ordinary, Li Yu felt a demonic power hidden between the lines. 'Why does this thing sound like... the ultimate pyramid sche tool?'
'Especially that note at the end... Believers? Fanatical?'
Equipping the title, Li Yu did not feel any different...
"Ahem..." Li Yu deliberately coughed twice, drawing the attention of the other three. He asked in a deep voice, "Do you have any thoughts... about your own futures?"
Mo Duo: "..."
Hunter: "..."
Xia En: "..."
The atmosphere fell deathly silent for a mont. Li Yu operated on the principle that as long as he wasn't embarrassed, the awkwardness belonged entirely to them.
Without a shift in his expression or wavering in his gaze, he bestowed a "benevolent" smile... upon the three of them.
"No thoughts at all..." Mo Duo replied helplessly.
"Just taking it one day at a ti..." Hunter shook his head.
Xia En furrowed his brows and said carefully, "Giving to her is not a very good choice..."
"Shut up!" Li Yu snapped, his face darkening.
"Alright."
