The Faith Avatars of Councilors are quite special. They can act as temporary incarnations carrying power, but compared to the true Councilors, there is still a certain gap.
Moreover, the true power of the Councilors lies in their control over the Divine Thrones.
The Twelve Divine Thrones are not just Authorities but also Weapons.
Even if there is so gap compared to peak Titan Artifacts, it wouldn't be too much.
rely a Faith Avatar is completely unable to exert their full Strength.
If one forced a comparison, they should be about the sa as the First Precursor after fusing with a Sub-Body, considered a "weakened version" Super Lifeform.
Even the First Precursor was insta-killed by [United Strength] plus the [Hawkeye Emblem], let alone a Faith Avatar.
And in the eyes of the Star Glory Empire, the First Precursor clearly wasn't considered a Super Lifeform, so naturally, they weren't deceiving him.
Although such a scene was already sothing Li Yu was accustod to.
To the God of Storms and Flas present, as well as Xia En, it was extrely shocking.
"You are the Dragon Sovereign! You actually dare to appear here!" This God of Storms and Flas finally also recognized Li Yu's Identity.
In the inherent mindset of these Divine Spirits, the God Council was their Reserved Territory. Outsiders simply didn't dare to enter and exit at will.
"The Sun and Nightmare hate you to the bone. If the other Councilors learn of this, they will definitely also chase you down crazily."
"The God Council has no place for you!"
The God of Storms and Flas roared.
"But the problem is, how would the news of being here leak out?" Li Yu narrowed his eyes. With a flash of his figure, he had already appeared in front of this mass of storm flas.
The other party's reaction speed wasn't slow either. Unfortunately, he didn't face him head-on, but instead turned his head and ran, transforming into a tornado wreathed in flas.
But he didn't manage to escape too far before being intercepted by an invisible barrier.
Knowing that it would probably be very difficult for him to escape today, he swept a glance at the Dragon God, who was already covered in red cracks all over and seed about to say GG, and shouted coldly:
"You underestimate the Gods too much. Do you think that by killing us all, no one will know what happened today!?"
"I'm telling you, you can't hide it!"
Li Yu ignored him. The Titan Giant Axe fell, directly reducing the storm flas before him to ashes.
At this point, all three Old Ones had fallen without causing any ripples.
Although their codenas sounded impressive, in reality, they were all a bunch of losers. Without the augntation of a Divine Throne, they weren't an Easily defeated foe for Li Yu at all.
After dealing with these small fries, Li Yu finally set his sights on Xia En. He seed still unable to accept everything that had happened, his eyes staring fixedly at Li Yu.
"Prince Sean, long ti no see... I've missed you very much. Whenever I recall everything that happened on Heavenly Desolation Star, I still feel deeply moved." Li Yu's eyes seed to hold so reminiscence as he sighed:
"As expected of an Imperial Noble. Even in the God Council, you still stirred up quite a storm."
"I am now, the Nightmare God!" Xia En gritted his teeth and said.
He didn't expect the other party to actually co personally, let alone that the Lady of the Night's Faith Avatar wouldn't even be an Easily defeated foe for the other party.
"We are all Old Friends, stop pretending." Li Yu swept a glance at the restless Holy Disciples. Casually snapping his fingers, he sealed Xia En's subordinates.
"I know your goal. Isn't it just that the Star Glory Empire sent you here to infiltrate?" Li Yu couldn't help but shake his head, looking at the still stubborn Xia En.
How did he know!
How exactly does the Empire handle its confidentiality work!?
It was one thing for the Old Ones to find out through clues, but how did he also know?
Xia En's expression was Moody as he said in a deep voice: "Since you know I was sent by the Empire, why did you still attack ."
"Aren't you and the Empire currently cooperating? Why affect and destroy this cooperative relationship? Do you want to fall out with the Empire?"
"No, no..." Li Yu shook his head, emphasizing: "I'm not the one who wants to destroy this relationship, you are."
"If you hadn't attacked Mo Duo, I actually didn't really want to attack you. I'll even be honest, I quite appreciate you. Turning enemies into Friends with you wouldn't necessarily be a bad story..."
Xia En didn't feel at ease because of Li Yu's words. In fact, because of the word "appreciate", the anger in his heart surged even more.
Appreciation was a superior looking down at an inferior. Clearly, in Li Yu's heart, Xia En was no longer soone on the sa level as him.
Although the facts were indeed so, to Xia En, it was sowhat difficult to accept.
Once upon a ti, this person before him could only Eking out a miserable existence, trying every ans just to survive.
Now, he could already look down on him.
"Unfortunately, I found out you're quite vindictive..." Li Yu's tone was indifferent. Xia En could notice that the invisible barriers all around were slowly contracting.
Wherever they passed, not even the slag of the Nightmare fleet was left from being annihilated.
"Therefore, I can only nip the threat in the bud as early as possible."
It was fine in the past when he was weak, but now that he had the capability, he naturally wouldn't give his enemies ti to develop.
"The Star Glory Empire, the God Council will not let you off. The Other-Dinsional Camp... can you withstand it?" Xia En said unwillingly.
"Then that is not a problem Your Royal Highness needs to consider." Li Yu said, suddenly clicking his tongue and saying:
"This current scene is still quite familiar. History repeats itself, Karma and circumstance dictate."
It would have been fine if he hadn't said this sentence. Once he said this, Xia En seed to have been stimulated by sothing and roared in anger: "I want you dead!"
His pupils were covered in bloodshot veins as he transford into a black shadow and fiercely charged towards Li Yu.
And Li Yu just waved his hand, like swatting a fly.
He ca fast, but flew backwards even faster.
Li Yu directly swatted Xia En flying. Like a shooting star, he crashed heavily onto the Energy Barrier, smashing out a massive ring-shaped crater.
Shockwaves burst forth. Centered on Xia En, the Void cracked open with fissure after fissure, extending all the way to the end of one's line of sight.
Pfft!
Blood seeped out from all the pores on Xia En's body, instantly dyeing his clothes red.
Severe pain swept through every nerve, and he didn't even have ti to catch his breath.
In the next mont, a massive Light Beam crashed down, enveloping his entire body.
The space instantly cracked, and imdiately after, shattered with a boom. A Void Storm directly raged out.
Rumble!!
The surging shockwaves spread rapidly. Xia En's Strength was too low. Even if his future was limitless, it couldn't be converted into imdiate combat power.
In front of Li Yu, he was as weak as an ant, without any ability to fight back.
As long as Li Yu slightly moved his finger, he would be crushed to death.
Li Yu raised his hand. Xia En, who looked like a rotting corpse, was wrapped by an invisible force and flew in front of Li Yu.
There wasn't a single piece of intact flesh on his entire body. The blood escaping from his wounds floated in the Starry Sky, like crystal-clear blood diamonds.
Xia En struggled to raise his hand, pointing at Li Yu. His arm was trembling. He slowly opened his mouth, seeming to want to say sothing.
"...Don't waste your energy."
Li Yu shook his head and sighed, condensing an oxygen bubble around him.
Xia En was already powerless to struggle. He stared fixedly at Li Yu, intense unwillingness revealing in his eyes.
He was originally a lofty Imperial Heir.
Both his upper limit and lower limit were sothing Ordinary Lifeforms, and even A-Tier Lifeforms, could hardly attain in their entire lives.
But he wasn't satisfied, nor did he fight over that Sphere of Responsibility of the Star Glory Empire. Instead, he had greater ambitions and put them into action.
However, a perfectly good plan had a variable pop out of thin air, making him suffer endless humiliation on Heavenly Desolation Star.
But for the sake of his goal, he still endured it. He didn't beco Penny wise, pound foolish, nor did he take the other party to heart.
Thinking that as long as he gave a notification afterwards, the Empire would naturally resolve the other party. But the subsequent developnts exceeded his expectations.
After coming to the God Council, he endured humiliation even more to seek opportunities.
As long as the plan went smoothly, after succeeding, he could even disregard Super Lifeforms.
But he didn't expect to encounter that variable again, who even wanted to nip him in the bud.
His future, his determination, his wild ambitions, all crumbled at this mont.
"I... have never proactively Provoke Trouble with you..." Xia En spat out fresh blood, squeezing out a few sentences: "Why do you have to treat like this!?"
Li Yu was montarily stunned, and nodded: "Indeed, unfortunately so things don't change according to one's own will."
"On Heavenly Desolation Star, because of your plan, it resulted in very likely being buried along with you. I also had no other choice."
Xia En opened his mouth and smiled miserably.
Li Yu's expression was strange. Why was he acting like he was the Villain?
"Don't worry, you are different from Lyman, you are still useful. I won't kill you. Maybe one day when I am invincible, I will even release you." Li Yu painted a big pie for him.
Xia En naturally didn't believe him, wearing an expression of having already been broken.
After temporarily sealing him, Mo Duo ca closer and said: "The Lady of the Night's Faith Avatar was killed by you. She should be arriving very soon. We'd better leave as soon as possible."
"Mm... however, there is One More Person Must Die." Li Yu nodded, and then looked at Mo Duo.
"Who?" Mo Duo was sowhat puzzled.
"You."
Li Yu spat out a single word.
………
"Xia En has lost contact?!"
Not long after, in the central Office of the Star Glory Empire's — Interdinsional Joint Research Base.
Aenius, who had just received the ergency report, abruptly stood up, her expression changing drastically.
In front of her was the remote projection of a Middle-Aged Man. He belonged to a secret departnt specifically responsible for Xia En's affairs.
The other party's expression was extrely solemn as he said in a deep voice: "Yes. Not long ago, His Royal Highness Xia En set off for the Three Gods Church for a crusade."
"But subsequently, the entire Night Pantheon made abnormal movents. Over half of the Divine Spirits headed to the Three Gods Church. After our investigation, we have confird that His Royal Highness Xia En is missing."
"Who did it!?" Aenius's Aura burst forth, as if she was about to lose control and go berserk, her eyes full of chilling killing intent.
"There are insufficient clues, we cannot draw a conclusion for the ti being." The other party hesitated for a mont and shook his head.
"Has it been reported up?" Hearing this, Aenius's brows furrowed tightly.
"His Majesty The Emperor should be holding a eting right now." The other party responded.
………
The small eting table for eight was opened once again. Seven remote projections successively arrived at the eting room. They were sowhat puzzled, not knowing why The Emperor suddenly summoned them.
Soon, The Emperor appeared at the main seat, his face stern, and said directly:
"Ergency situation, Xia En encountered an attack in the God Council and is confird missing!"
Right as his voice fell, the expressions of the Seven Great Noble Controllers paused. They didn't expect to suddenly hear this kind of breaking news.
Then, their expressions beca exceptionally ugly.
They all clearly knew Xia En's value. To put it bluntly, Xia En concerned the future developnt of the Star Glory Empire.
At this ti, specific information projections appeared, summarizing the temporarily gathered clues in short sentences.
Understanding the current situation, the Seven Great Noble Controllers fell silent once again.
"No clues whatsoever..."
"Within the God Council, it's very difficult for our personnel to fully deploy..."
"Xia En has nominally been expelled by us. If we mobilize our people on a large scale, it's very easy for so organizations to discover clues..."
"..."
Several people spoke up one after another. Summarized into one word — Trouble!
"Are these your opinions?" The Emperor looked around at everyone, his voice betraying neither joy nor anger.
"This matter definitely must be investigated. Not only because Xia En concerns the Divine Throne Project, but also because the people who made a move probably harbor the sa goals as us..." Loren, who had been silent just now, said:
"If we don't find out any clues, it will be a massive hidden danger."
You sure are good at spouting bullshit, the other Noble Controllers cursed secretly.
They also knew it had to be investigated, but the problem was how to investigate?
"First lock onto a few general suspects and narrow down the scope." Loren finally added sothing useful.
"How to lock onto them? During the Divine War, the other eleven Councilors are all suspects."
"No..." Loren shook his head: "This Divine War is different from the previous ones. The appearance of the thirteen sub-Divine Thrones has made them all cultivate their own subordinates."
"Isn't that even more motive?"
"Only on the surface. Including Xia En, there are a total of five candidates under the Lady of the Night, and even more under other Councilors." Loren shook his head: "If others don't discover a sudden disappearance similar to Xia En's next."
"Then we can temporarily erase the Councilors from the suspect list, and we can also be sure that Xia En's disappearance wasn't caused by disputes in the Divine War."
"The Forerunners? Old Ones? Last ti they almost beat Xia En to death." Soone supplented.
"Very possible. Until now, we are still not sure if they know our plan. If they know, it's very possible they would make a move against Xia En." Loren nodded.
"Then we'll place the focus on investigating these two organizations."
"Wait, did you guys forget about a person." Sissoko interrupted, his gloomy, eagle-like eyes sweeping the surroundings as he said: "Dragon Sovereign -- Li Yu!"
