Chapter 1336: Chapter 1082: Monster and Monster
Long Yi had installed tracking devices on all the Battle Armor provided to Mahal and his crew. Of course, with the Plane being so vast, it was impossible for Long Yi to find them with his Magic alone. However, with the help of the magic radar on the Great Explorer, Long Yi finally located them in a very remote star sector.
When Long Yi saw the spaceship, even he was incredibly surprised, for he saw countless fist and palm marks on the spaceship’s armored surface! Long Yi had never heard of any Powerhouses in Yahola?
Entering the spaceship through a hole, bloodstains were visible everywhere, indicating those who had been injured had stayed here for a time, and several damaged pieces of Battle Armor were discarded around.
Just as Long Yi was about to inspect, a fragile pirate ran over to him. Seeing Long Yi, the pirate was first stunned, then burst into tears, "Lord Long Yi! You have finally come!"
Following the fragile pirate, Long Yi finally found Mahal. After some time of treatment, those with minor injuries had recovered, and those with severe injuries were out of danger. However, the psychological blow from their defeat was almost irreparable; their once high spirits were now completely demolished.
Mahal, nervous and ashamed upon seeing Long Yi, had been provided powerful weapons, yet they had ended up like this. If they had been able to defeat Yahola more quickly, maybe Long Yi wouldn’t have had the opportunity. Mahal now worried that Long Yi would blame them, or even take his anger out on them, so he dared not say a word.
"Alright, tell me what exactly happened," said Long Yi.
Hearing these words from Long Yi as his first statement somewhat settled Mahal’s heart since Long Yi was not Yahola, and he seemed to be more reasonable. Thus, Mahal started to recount the entire plan from beginning to end, including their escape to this location. The parts where he had lost consciousness were supplemented by his deputy.
"So, you’re saying that each of those ferocious humanoid monsters possessed the ability to easily destroy Battle Armor, right?" Long Yi asked with a heavy tone.
"Yes, that’s right," said Mahal, his anxiety growing as it was time to face judgment!
"I understand. It seems I underestimated the enemies you might face," Long Yi said.
With that one sentence, Mahal and his brothers were stunned. Clearly, Long Yi seemed to be placing the responsibility on himself!
He isn’t blaming us? The pirates exchanged looks of disbelief. They never expected Long Yi not only to not blame them but to take the responsibility upon himself!
This was unthinkable! Something they had never encountered before! Who were they? Pirates, who would rush forward for gain and retreat at the first sign of trouble; never had they encountered self-criticism!
"Now, the first thing I need to confirm is how is your supply situation here?" asked Long Yi.
"The supplies on the spaceship are enough to last us a month," said Mahal, suddenly feeling a spark of hope.
"It won’t take that long; I will be back soon. After I have confirmed this matter, I will return. And when I come back, I will let you have your revenge!"
Long Yi left, but his words still echoed in the cabin. Revenge? On whom? Yahola, or those monsters? Either way, those monsters were an obstacle that couldn’t be ignored. Without defeating them, there would be no thought of revenge. Could Long Yi really want them to overcome such adversaries? Was that possible? These were the opponents not even elite soldiers could match!
Despite their doubts, Long Yi’s promise had given them confidence, and for the moment, they no longer seemed as forlorn as before.
"What exactly are you going to do, Lord Long Yi?" Mahal wondered to himself.
By now, Long Yi had arrived within the territory of the Black Sea Demon Pirate Group, quietly waiting for any movement from Yahola. He had a suspicion that if it were correct, Yahola would certainly not be idle now, but rather eager to wage battles everywhere.
As expected! The fleet that had just returned yesterday set out once again, and this time their target was the silent flame territory. After several battles, Yahola had already snatched several warships from the hands of the Cosmic Undead Pirate Group, and those skilled pirates that came with the warships had naturally joined the Black Sea Demons. These pirates rarely had any sense of loyalty or honor, so joining the Black Sea Demon was not much of an issue for them.
However, Long Yi wasn’t concerned about these developments; what he really cared about was Yahola’s flagship.
He wanted to know what exactly was hidden there.
As the Black Sea Demon’s fleet set off, Long Yi used his Divine Power to conceal himself behind a section of the flagship’s armor. Accompanied by the flagship tearing through space on a long journey, the battle finally began. Right when the battle reached its climax, a secret hatch on the flagship suddenly opened, and dozens of incredibly strong figures surged out!
Just as Mahal had described, stronger and taller than Battle Armor, with skin ripped and muscles exposed, these humanoid creatures completely ignored that they were in the vacuum of space, roaring silently as they charged toward the opposing warships. Despite some being hit by ship cannons, which tore them open, they didn’t retreat at all; for the rate of their regeneration was faster than the bombardment!
Indeed, just as I had thought, Long Yi thought with a cold smile.
These pirates have been parasitized by the Leviathan Worms!
If Long Yi still didn’t understand what was going on by now, he really should just bash his head against the ground and be done with it.
This Yahola, even if he wasn’t the Divine Worm, definitely had an extremely intimate relationship with it!
No! He was the Divine Worm!
Long Yi made his final judgment.
Because of his appearance, the Divine Worms of this Plane had started to hide away. Whether it was Turun, the head of the Balance Church that had taken over the Golden Battleship, or Simu, who always enjoyed creating stars, their strength was not weak. But because they had no power to fight back under the absolute strength of his Trinity, they had no choice but to conceal themselves.
And now, Yahola suddenly came up with these Leviathan Worms, likely Simu’s masterpieces. Since she would go to such lengths to help him, this meant Yahola was definitely the Divine Worm!
Having made his judgment, Long Yi in turn left. Since Yahola had obtained the Leviathan Worms, it meant that he must know who Long Yi was. Knowing who Long Yi was, yet still insisting on going against him, what kind of confidence did he have?
What kind of confidence, only after fighting would one know.
To deal with the Leviathan Worms, the simplest method was still to use the Leviathan Worms.
In Long Yi’s private space, there were many, many Leviathan Worms. Long Yi didn’t quite know just how many there were of these creatures with their unfixed size; he only knew that, under the feeding of the Cosmic Stones, the lives of these Leviathan Worms couldn’t have been any better.
Long Yi summoned the Leviathan Worm swarm from his private space. Compared to before, the swarm had increased in size by several times, and its color had also turned to a jet black metallic hue. This was the result of consuming the black Cosmic Stones; the energy from the black Cosmic Stones made the Leviathan Worms extremely powerful.
Long Yi carefully described the entire situation to the Leviathan Worm swarm.
"So, that’s the situation, I hope you can help me, or rather, I hope you can help them," Long Yi said.
At this time, the Leviathan Worm swarm was in intelligence mode, with countless small worms forming a collective neural network. When Long Yi spoke, arcs of electricity cascaded among the swarm, signifying their contemplation.
"We were saved by you from the clutches of the pseudo-gods. The generous you then endowed us with precious Cosmic Stones as food, and this matter itself is also saving our kin. Thus, for this matter, we are morally obligated," said the Leviathan Worm swarm.
The technique used by Long Yi to parasitize human bodies with Leviathan Worms was completely different. Simu forced control over the Leviathan Worms through the suppression of Divine Status, but the Leviathan Worms themselves were not inclined to obey commands. Therefore, although those Leviathan Worms only had instinct, their instinct also made them serve the pseudo-gods half-heartedly. But now, these Leviathan Worms were different; after being disassembled, they too were left with only instincts, but their instincts were to obey Long Yi’s commands and to defeat the pseudo-gods.
But this was not the end.
If you’re going to play, play big!
Now, only thirty of Mahal’s subordinates were still fit for battle. To prevent any further mishaps, Long Yi decided to end things decisively in one fell swoop.
In his private space, there was no shortage of metal armor left behind by those dragon-shaped Giant Monsters, the durability of which was much stronger than ordinary metals. Using these metals as materials, Long Yi fashioned a batch of Rune Armor. He then returned to where Mahal was hiding. When Mahal saw Long Yi return, he felt revitalized.
"Firstly, I have a truth to tell you," Long Yi said.
"Please, my lord, speak," Mahal hastily responded.
"I’ve confirmed something, that Yahola has now obtained help from my archenemy. And the reason he has suddenly become so powerful is precisely because of my archenemy’s assistance. So in essence, this matter is no longer merely a conflict between you and Yahola, but a conflict between my archenemy and me," Long Yi said.
"And then?" Mahal nodded, waiting for Long Yi to continue.
"What I mean is, if you withdraw now, I will immediately find you a planet to settle down. You and your brothers will all be properly taken care of, and from this point on, the battle will have nothing to do with you. You will live out the rest of your lives as ordinary people," Long Yi said.
"My lord, are you looking down on us brothers?" Mahal laughed. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for it at qidian.com. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
