Chapter 571: Chapter 452 Future Enemy_2
The Overlord shook his head in helplessness and sighed.
Long Yi stared at the Overlord, his brows furrowed, and his mind was racing even faster. Had it been an hour ago, Long Yi would have had no choice but to watch helplessly, but now, it was different. Long Yi had just acquired some special knowledge, enough to help him save the Overlord!
"In fact, I do have a way to survive, if you want. The only problem is, I’m not sure if you would agree." Long Yi said.
"What method! Damn it! Who the hell wants to die!" Hearing Long Yi’s words, the Overlord was so excited that he sprung back to life.
Long Yi slowly explained his method, and the Overlord thought about it for three seconds.
"Let’s do it! I don’t want to die!"
Long Yi smiled, looked down at the sphere in his hand.
"Excellent, my friend, it’s time for you to shine. But, before you transform into a crazy demon, allow me to extract what remaining value you have."
The female demons circled around, their psychic powers undulating, extracting all the knowledge Long Yi needed.
"You can’t do this...you will perish! You will be annihilated by our great army!"
The crystal had completely spread to its brain.
"It starts now!"
According to the sequence of the Crystal Poison’s infection, at this stage, it should be a struggle between consciousness of the Crystal Poison and the host’s consciousness. In theory, the one-eyed monster’s own consciousness is very strong and should be able to fight off Crystal Poison’s intrusion, at least preserving the host’s consciousness. Unfortunately, Long Yi is present.
With the Giant’s scepter in hand, the Overlord directly dug out his shattered crystal core along with all surrounding crystals from his chest.
"Although you might look a bit uglier, at least you’re alive." Long Yi, smiling, gently tapped the sphere with the Giant’s scepter. Instantly, the two consciousnesses inside the sphere were completely annihilated. Then, raising the scepter, Long Yi tapped the Overlord’s crystal core, sending a ray of light into the sphere, and the Overlord’s crystal core, deprived of its last support, disintegrated into dust immediately.
Long Yi raised the sphere high, and the cut on the sphere’s outer shell slowly healed. And simultaneously, as the sphere flew into the air, shattered jelly and crystal cores began to fly towards it from all around. Even the exploded armors from all around were flying towards it.
In the roaring sound, a new scout was born, even the eye that was previously blown up by Long Yi was fully restored.
"How are you feeling?" Long Yi asked.
"Seeing things with seven eyes is genuinely awkward," the Overlord transformed into a scout said.
"Being alive is what matters, everything else is minor," Long Yi answered.
"No, there’s something major," the Overlord added.
"What is it?" Long Yi asked, puzzled.
"While obtaining this body, I also glimpsed its memories. The dimwit was right about some things, but he also hid some, their species is wandering within the multiverse. They aim to collect the relics left by the gods within various universes, acquire divine power from them, and therefore gain the ability to traverse barriers! I can’t let them succeed, just like it said, maybe we could enjoy a thousand years of peace, but after a thousand years, they would surely return! At that time, everyone in this world needs to know what their enemy really is!"
Long Yi remained silent for a while, then laughed.
"I understand what you imply, go ahead, I won’t stop you. Just don’t do anything foolish, although I don’t have many memories about the Giants. But I believe, we Giants, are not easily defeated," Long Yi spoke.
The Overlord shook his enormous head.
"I’m off, Pioneer. Before I leave, I have a word for you," the Overlord said.
"Go on, I’m all ears," Long Yi responded.
"The Dragon Clan is actually our friend."
A massive body soared into the sky, causing a spatial rupture, and the pretending scout flew towards a world that Long Yi could not understand. Yet Long Yi merely stared with puzzled eyes at the sky from where he stood.
Dragon Clan as friends?
Why would friends inexplicably betray the Giants?
This time, Long Yi was completely confused.
The war with the Crystal Demons finally came to its end, with the Overlord gone, and the last of the Crazy Demons collapsed where they stood. However, the once magnificent Imperial Palace was now only a pile of ruins.
But, that wasn’t important, as long as the land still existed, as long as the people survived, the architecture would inevitably rise again.
Belle looked at Long Yi who had returned to his original form and excitedly didn’t know what to say. She pulled at Long Yi’s hands, her eyes fixated on him, as though she had plenty to say but couldn’t form a single coherent sentence!
First, Long Yi gave Belle the Crazy Demon she needed for her trial, helping her to complete it. He then gave her a Catalyst Crystal Stone, transforming her into a valkyrie on the battlefield. After that, Long Yi helped her merge with the Catalyst Crystal Stone, turning her into the strongest warrior among the Crystal Demons.
And now, Long Yi, who was merely supposed to be a spectator, had helped the Crystal Demons completely retake their homeland! Moreover, he even helped the Crystal Demons defeat their powerful enemy - a fatal threat to them!
Belle had already said thank you so many times that it seemed too weak and pale to express her gratitude now.
"If there’s anything, anything you want, you can tell me. Whatever it is, even if you ask me to become your slave or to die immediately, I will agree with a smile!" After holding it in for a long time, Belle finally blurted out these words.
"Calm down...why would I want you to die? The slave thing can also be put aside... As long as you can help me make those cannons, that’ll be enough." Long Yi responded in a hurry.
"No, no, that’s not good enough! How about this, I’ll immediately gather an army when I get back and enter the Human Realm tomorrow to help you conquer your enemies!" Belle proposed.
Long Yi shook his head with a smile, "First of all, entering the Human Realm requires you to suppress your power below ten Dragon Marks. Secondly, the sunlight in our world can instantly kill the Crystal Poison, which is too dangerous for you..."
As Long Yi was saying this, he stopped himself.
He recalled that the dying creature once mentioned that the Crystal Poison was a perfect life created by God, capable of surviving in any environment and invading any world. However, the Crystal Poison will die instantly when exposed to the sunlight of the Human Realm for a few seconds. Both Crystal Demons and Crazy Demons feel discomfort in the sunlight. The planet of the Human Realm was created by the Giants. Could it be that they had prepared for dealing with the Crystal Poison long ago?
"Brother Long?" Belle looked oddly at Long Yi, who was suddenly lost in thought.
"Uh, it’s nothing, I was just thinking about some nonsense that idiot said before." Long Yi chuckled.
"What about the army..."
"No... or to put it better, not yet. Maybe in the future, if I’m unable to defeat my enemies, I may ask for your assistance. But for now, let’s keep our battles confined within our respective planes. I fear that it would lead to great issues if a stronger force were to get involved."
Even though Belle didn’t quite understand, she felt that Long Yi made sense and didn’t push for it anymore. However, she had already made up her mind to create more Light Cannons to aid Long Yi upon her return.
This was certainly something Long Yi would be happy to see.
After the battle ended, with the Crystal Demons cheering and rejoicing, Long Yi no longer needed to worry about them. On his return to the White Dragon Empire, Long Yi was dazed the entire way, still contemplating the shocking battle he had witnessed and remembering every single detail.
It had to be said, the opposing party was just a scout, but it possessed such formidable attacking power. If it hadn’t been for the two Giants present today, there would have only been two outcomes. Either everyone would have been killed by it, or it would have ruptured space to escape, and then subsequent forces would have arrived to kill everyone else.
No one would have liked either outcome.
This demonstrated an important lesson: There are always greater beings out there, other worlds beyond ours. (To be continued. If you like this work, please cast your recommendation votes and monthly votes on qidian.com. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users can read on m.qidian.com)
