Chapter 863: Chapter 658: Reunion at the Appointment
Deep within the arena, there was a small door with four keyholes. Long Yi removed a weapon from his belt, infused it with the power of the Giants, and the surface of the weapon immediately melted away to reveal a hidden dark-gold key.
Inserting the key into the lock, a mechanical clicking sound came from inside the door.
Then, Long Yi transformed the rest of the weapons into keys, one by one, and inserted them into the keyholes.
The nearly three-meter-thick metal door slowly slid aside, and Long Yi finally saw that it was a vast control room!
"This is one of the Giants’ space vessels left behind! In the old days, Giants navigated through space in vessels like this," Lagala said.
Inside, Long Yi saw an enormous control panel with familiar Giant symbols on it.
"Where is the maintenance golem?"
Long Yi asked.
"It was damaged in the battle against the Dragon Clan and taken by the Giants, so there is no maintenance golem here. In fact, I was the one doing maintenance here before the Giants withdrew," Lagala said.
Long Yi took out a Giant tablet, and the rules and details of the place immediately appeared on it.
It turned out this was a Giant’s patrol vessel, specifically in charge of monitoring the progress of all Giant undertakings in this plane. There were no weapons on board, but it had a device called ’The Sweeper,’ which could instantly obliterate all life on a planet. This was an insurance device tested by the Giants in the past.
However, during the fight with the Dragon Clan, the Giants did not use The Sweeper. Instead, they abandoned this colossal vessel here. Lagala said that the Giants had received an emergency withdrawal order and were teleported away the moment the order was received. After their departure, Lagala, who was working on the outside, immediately lost access to the vessel’s interior.
Of course, the external facilities alone were enough for Lagala to survive. Even if Lagala went inside, he had no authority to use any of the equipment there.
But fortunately, Lagala was wise enough to, through various coincidences and perseverance, turn this place into the most impressive arena of the entire plane. Meanwhile, he patiently waited for the Giants’ return. And now, Long Yi had finally arrived.
All the privileges Long Yi could use were clearly laid out before him here.
Except for plane teleportation.
This vessel wasn’t designed for plane teleportation at all—it didn’t even have a plane teleportation module.
Long Yi had thought he would be able to avoid a lot of trouble, but it seemed now that a visit to The Divine Auffa Empire was indeed unavoidable.
In fact, although the interior of the vessel was spacious, there were very few useful facilities. The largest space was taken up by various automatic devices, which were still operating. And as the structure for the four major arenas, it turned out to be the vessel’s propulsion system!
Well, although he had considered this possibility, Long Yi still could not help but marvel at Lagala’s imagination when he remembered the cheering crowd standing inside the propulsor.
Lagala was very excited about Long Yi’s arrival because it signified the return of the Giants who had been missing for ten thousand years. However, Lagala was not much of a talker; he mostly followed Long Yi in silence, only offering explanations when needed by Long Yi.
It took Long Yi three days to thoroughly check the place and confirm that there was nothing he needed. Then, he immediately bade Lagala farewell, preparing to set off for The Divine Auffa Empire.
"But Master Long Yi, what should I do? What do you want me to do?" Lagala asked, puzzled. During these three days, Long Yi asked many questions and visited many places, but he never gave any direct orders to Lagala.
"I don’t have anything specific I want you to do, or rather, you should just do whatever you want to do. It’s your freedom," Long Yi said.
As a created being, Lagala always harbored two conflicting emotions. On the one hand, he looked forward to the return of the Giants, but on the other hand, he was somewhat afraid of their return, not knowing whether his actions would anger the Giants.
But clearly, Long Yi was indifferent to Lagala turning the space vessel into the Stellar Realm’s arena.
Yes, these were the Giants, the beings with hearts of boundless tolerance.
Long Yi left the Stellar Realm arena, for it was time to honor an appointment.
In recent times, the well-known King of the Stellar Realm arena, Long Yi, set off for The Divine Auffa Empire, reportedly to respond to a challenge from a girl. The circumstances had been recounted by many, spreading the knowledge widely: three Crown Princes of The Divine Auffa Empire personally appeared before Long Yi, conveying Ai Lin’s challenge. The girl named Ai Lin’s greatest claim to fame was merely being the object of pursuit by all three Crown Princes simultaneously.
This left everyone following Long Yi’s movements utterly bewildered, as a warrior of Long Yi’s caliber should not bother with such trivial challenges. But Long Yi not only responded but also set off in person. Perhaps, did this girl indeed possess some special abilities?
Long Yi had many Halos above his head, and the discussions about him were fervent. Not to mention other things, just recently, he had forcefully killed two Sanctuary Mages, making him a desirable asset for all factions. In this plane, Mages were highly valued, and Long Yi, having killed two Sanctuary Mages in succession, had become the ultimate adversary for all mages.
