Chapter 958: Chapter 722 Full Mobilization
Saint Danze was so delighted that he couldn’t close his mouth; the strength of this golem guardian was undeniably powerful. If Long Yi really could apply the technology used in the golems to the Divine Armor, wouldn’t the Sanctuary Empire be able to advance even further?
Actually, compared to the core clan’s golems, these golem guards were far inferior in both quality and technology. The core clan and the golems they controlled represented the pinnacle of the Giants’ technology before they left this multiverse, while these golem guardians were at best a group of iron shells with a tiny bit of mechanical judgment, which is why Long Yi could confidently hand them over to the Sanctuary Empire.
Of course, despite this, they were still beyond the reach of the Sanctuary Empire.
This giant golem was disassembled into countless parts, and the Sanctuary Empire began their tense research of the golems. The experts and scholars in the research institute were ecstatic, for this was an authentic Giant product! It was rare even just to see one, let alone touch it, and now they had taken one apart! How could they not be thrilled?
Another group of people who were extremely delighted were the old mages at the Magic Research Institute. When Long Yi gave them half of the Giant magic book, one of the old mages fainted on the spot, while more received it very cautiously with delicate boxes and soft cushions.
"This thing is made of fine gold alloy; it’s not that delicate, you don’t need to be too careful," Long Yi said nonchalantly.
"No! This is a precious heritage! We can’t afford the slightest carelessness!" an old mage immediately admonished.
Long Yi pursed his lips, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.
At that moment. On a mysterious planet, amidst vast plains, mushroom clouds occasionally rose into the air! A massive golden figure wielded a huge golden war hammer, relentlessly and wildly hammering the ground, leaving one crater after another. The pounding was accompanied by his frenzied roars.
This person was Adaman, and after resting for three days, he had fully recovered. During those three days when he was unable to freely use his power, the events of the past few days kept swirling in his head, tormenting him. He had thought that his greatest enemy for seizing the Giants’ mightiest legacy would be Lou Aran, but now he realized he was wrong; that enemy turned out to be Long Yi!
Along the way, Long Yi had been opposing him, and although he always prioritized the bigger picture and did not quibble with Long Yi, he had not expected Long Yi to be so relentless! Not only did he destroy the strongest legacy, but he even directly caused the destruction of the star that held the legacy! This meant that after a hundred years, there would no longer be a mightiest legacy!
All of this was thanks to Long Yi!
Adaman roared furiously, his body wreathed in mana, as he began sprinting towards a certain direction. No obstacle could stop him; with each step, he left massive footprints that instantly turned into deep pits.
Boom!
Adaman slammed forcefully into a small mountain.
"You want to stop me? No! Nobody can stop me! I’ll kill him! The Cosmic Stone Greatsword is mine! The Female Demon servant is also mine! The Giants’ legacy is even more mine!" Adaman raised his golden war hammer high, mana condensing within it. Then the massive war hammer came crashing down heavily, and the small mountain crumbled instantly!
The wind scattered the dust, and Landers slowly descended from the sky. Adaman had returned to his original form, gasping for breath and holding the war hammer in one hand.
"Teacher, as per your orders, I have informed all your students, and they have now received the commands you issued. However, as one of your students, I hope you will consider this matter seriously. The current Long Yi is extremely powerful, both in personal strength and his power. You insist on killing him; it may not be easy," Landers said.
Adaman slowly raised his head, his blood-red eyes staring at his student: "Are you questioning my orders?"
Landers immediately knelt to the ground: "Your student wouldn’t dare."
"If you wouldn’t dare, then shut your mouth! I want Long Yi dead! No matter what means you use, as long as you bring me Long Yi’s head, this war hammer is yours!" Adaman shouted.
Landers didn’t dare to say another word, only leaving silently, aware that his teacher Adaman had been driven to madness. During these three days, he had traveled through various corners of the planes, conveying Adaman’s orders to all his students: "Kill Long Yi at all costs. Whoever succeeds in killing Long Yi, Adaman will entrust to him his most precious Giant legacy, the golden Giant war hammer!"
Adaman had been an ancient powerhouse for over three hundred years, with over a thousand students in those years, and the students of his students were countless. Landers estimated roughly that there must be at least a hundred thousand people eager to kill Long Yi.
But killing Long Yi, how easy could that be!
Let alone others, who could withstand the Cosmic Stone Greatsword?
Landers felt like his teacher had truly gone mad.
But he also knew that there was no way he could change something his teacher had decided. All he could do was watch and wait!
For Long Yi, there weren’t many useful items among these Giant legacies. He wasn’t fighting for them to gain any powers, but simply didn’t want them to fall into others’ hands.
So, after the struggle had ended, Long Yi’s life returned to normal. Apart from occasionally pretending to research the new type of Divine Armor, he spent most of his time on that large transfer station. Long Yi hoped to use the station to enter the mid-level planes, thus bypassing The Divine Auffa Empire. Meanwhile, in The Divine Auffa Empire, Ai Lin had also restarted her research on the Teleportation Gates, but this time the focus was on how to apply this knowledge to transfer stations.
The research life of the two was tense and busy, and Long Yi didn’t sense at all that an undercurrent was forming around him.
Here was a dimly lit room, crowded with people around a small table.
These people wore various kinds of clothing, but all wore masks to cover their faces.
"Long Yi’s residence is a standalone three-story villa, located in the highest residential area of the Imperial City within the Sanctuary Empire, surrounded by high-ranking officials and nobility. Yet, Long Yi’s villa is one of the top residences here. Every day, Little Zi and her Female Demon avatars keep the place in perfect order. Long Yi wakes up at six o’clock, while Little Zi wakes up at five to prepare food for Long Yi, and Little Zi’s Female Demon avatars begin cleaning as soon as Long Yi wakes up."
A man spoke out in the darkness.
"According to our tracking, Long Yi has been very regular in his activities recently. He leaves the house at seven sharp every morning with Little Zi to go to the military factory. He arrives at the barracks around eight o’clock, and after ten o’clock, he usually returns to the villa alone while Little Zi goes to purchase food for the next day."
Another person said.
"Our chance to strike is only during the time Long Yi is returning to the villa."
"Perhaps we could disguise ourselves as vendors and poison the food she’s going to buy!"
"Isn’t poisoning risky? Long Yi is even immune to Crystal Poison."
"Moreover, Little Zi is a Female Demon, her mental magic is very powerful! We could easily be discovered if we’re not careful!"
"It’s impossible to be discovered, we can first sell the poisoned food to the real vendors."
"Also, just because he can resist Crystal Poison doesn’t mean he can resist my toxin. I have poison here refined from the knowledge of the Giant legacies, and so far, no one has been able to detoxify it."
"As a backup plan, that’s good. Then let’s split up. You handle the food, and we’ll set traps on the route Long Yi takes back to the villa."
Today, as usual, Little Zi had prepared breakfast early for Long Yi. After eating, Long Yi immediately went to the factory, then to the barracks. Around ten o’clock, as per routine, he returned to the villa on his own, while Little Zi went to the market.
As a major nation, the Imperial City’s market of the Sanctuary Empire boasted an incredibly wide variety of food. Originating from different planets, the items offered a myriad of flavors, and Little Zi always liked to buy a variety of fresh and novel foods for Long Yi that he had never tasted before.
Today, as soon as Little Zi arrived, she saw a stall that had several types of inviting fruits she had never seen before. After asking, she learned that these were specialty products from a certain planet, available only at this time of year. Since Long Yi and his company hadn’t been in the Sanctuary Empire for long, of course, they had never tried them.
The fruits were pricey, but to the wealthy Long Yi, this was nothing. Little Zi paid, and amid the warm smiles of several vendors, she stuffed the fruits into her personal space.
From a distant rooftop at the market, a few people saw Little Zi buy the fruits without any suspicion and immediately smiled. This toxin had no taste at all, yet once ingested, it was potent enough to paralyze someone within minutes! If successful, Long Yi’s demise was certain!
At that moment, Long Yi was still on his way back to the villa. As he passed an intersection, a drunken man carrying a bottle of booze stumbled towards him. The drunkard was dressed extravagantly and seemed to be a person of high status, but the strong smell of alcohol still made Long Yi step aside to give way.
But this step was ill-fated, as Long Yi suddenly felt like one of his legs had sunk into something! Looking down, he discovered a metal plate with runes all over it placed on the roadside, and his foot had completely sunk into it!
Long Yi tried to pull out his foot but ended up lifting the metal plate instead of freeing his leg.
Meanwhile, the drunkard who had passed by suddenly turned around, his eyes devoid of any drunken stupor. He violently smashed the bottle in his hand, and a black mist enveloped Long Yi, making him feel like his mana was rapidly draining away!
"Hahaha! To think it would be this easy to succeed!"
Laughter rang out, and several people wearing masks jumped out from around, their real faces hidden. (To be continued.
