With the silver Hundred Flowers City as the background, the universe looked even deeper and darker. However, in the darkness that seemed to be swallowing everything, two intense ripples spread out after the momentary dazzle.
After the ripples passed, two colorful fountains of spiritual energy appeared abruptly, releasing their spiritual energy, waves, and radiation to the entire universe. Supported by the 'fountains', what slowly floated out of the gaps of the void were the Colossi, the ultimate weapons in the primeval war, the toughest single magical equipment in the history of mankind, and the Colossi that could even slay the god who created mankind!
The two Colossi stared at the intruders coldly, one on the left and the other on the right.
One of them was the Tartarean Skeleton, an undying warrior that crawled out of the deepest level of hell, surrounded by black flames and riddled with thorny thorns. An enormous cross had been carved on its head, and at the center of the cross was a single eye that looked like a blood red heart, as if it were made of the will of the deceased soldiers!
The other one was Yin Yang, a high-light Colossus that was covered in black and white mist and as unpredictable as a viper, with countless antennas that could enhance spiritual energy extending out of its head!
The two Colossi were no more than fifty meters tall when added together. They were nothing more than a grain of sand in the vast ocean in the scale of the universe.
However, the intimidating aura that they released incessantly froze the hundreds of Exos of the Federation, the moon white starship behind them, and the entire universe behind the moon white starship.
Colossi. Less than a hundred of them could be found in the entire Federation. They were the ultimate weapons of the primeval era!
More importantly, those who were capable of using the Colossi were at least Yuanying experts!
The Exos, on the other hand, were just the guards of the No. 3 space port. They were in the Building Foundation Stage and the Core Formation Stage at best. They had only launched an emergency attack after receiving the order from their superiors. There was no Yuanying to oversee the operation at all!
Two Yuanying experts who were equipped with Colossi were not something that they could resist.
The Exos' attack group was like a fly that had hit a glass. Tremendous flames of spiritual energy spurted out in front of their faces. With the counterforce, they managed to stop themselves despite their Crystal Suits and their flesh being torn apart.
A moment later, a thousand streaks of brilliance burst out of their bodies and darted at the two Colossi in complicated arcs!
The Exos of the Federation launched their most powerful remote attacks at the same time. All kinds of bullets of mystic rays, tiny flying swords, and self-locking thunders rushed out, almost wiping out all the magical equipment immediately.
They, on the other hand, retreated under the cover of the remote attacks and fled toward the two moon white starships in a hurry.
However …
As expected, the scene where two Colossi waved their hands and blocked the remote attacks before they charged into their battle formation like hungry tigers lunging at lambs did not happen.
On the contrary, the thousand remote attacks raised a series of surging tides of blasts and explosions, completely drowning, ripping, mincing, and swallowing the two Colossi!
The two Colossi were as vulnerable as paper. They did not even have the time to open their spiritual shields or dodge the attack before they were obliterated!
Behind the ocean of explosions and blasts, it could be clearly seen that two insignificant, disheveled, and even sleazy figures were spurting out flames of spiritual energy under the cover of the so-called 'Colossi', generating a powerful impetus as they fled to the periphery of the Hundred Flowers Space Zone.
"We've been fooled!"
"It's fake. There are no Colossi at all!"
"They are just two iron shells that look like the Colossi, plus a few vivid 3D light beams, and the sound and visual effects that are transformed by feeble spiritual energy!
"Their purpose is to cover the escape of the two guys!"
"What cunning spies of the Imperium. I knew it. How could spies of the Imperium be equipped with such unbelievable Colossi?"
The Exos of the Federation were greatly enlightened. Hundreds of people had been fooled by two spies of the Imperium. They were even more infuriated. All the probe magical equipment locked onto the two fleeing spiritual waves and chased after them together with the two moon white starships.
From the depths of the third space port of Hundred Flowers City and the fleets of the Federation cruising at the periphery of the Hundred Flowers Space Zone, a lot of forces were mobilized to chase and block the two mysterious spiritual waves together!
Three minutes after they caught up with the Colossi …
Not far away from the explosion site of the two 'fake Colossi' that were still spreading out ripples of spiritual energy like a pot of hot porridge, Li Yao and Long Yangjun slightly craned their heads to observe the whereabouts of their pursuers.
As they expected, they were getting further and further away from them.
"Hehe!"
Li Yao grinned in unspeakable satisfaction.
While the Colossi were fake, the two Crystal Suits that were fleeing far away under the cover of the Colossi were fake, too. The real Li Yao and Long Yangjun had already hidden inside the fake Colossi the moment they released the fake Colossi. With their magnificent strength at the peak of the Yuanying Stage, they resisted the enemy's bombardment and broke out of the siege without alarming anyone while the tides raised by the explosions were spreading out!
Li Yao and Long Yangjun were both experts of stealth. They had the best control over their breathing, heartbeat, body temperature, and spiritual waves. With a telepathic thought, they could turn their fleshly bodies into cold meteoroids and completely melt into the background of the universe.
Just now, the hundreds of Exos on the opposite side opened fire in a hurry and turned the place where the 'fake Colossi' were into a raging pool of magma. Even the most advanced scanning mystic rays would not be able to find the traces of the two of them in the boiling ripples of radiation!
It was exactly the cooperative escape technique that Li Yao and Long Yangjun had practiced countless times in private!
"How about it? Not bad, right?"
Li Yao narrowed his eyes and said, "I told you that the tactical arrangement would certainly be of great use. Isn't it the key point right now?"
Long Yangjun stared at him for a long time, before she sighed gloomily and said, "I admit defeat. I really don't understand what was on your mind at all. You are one of the best experts in the Nascent Soul Stage, and you have an authentic Colossus in your hands. You could've finished all those people just now by waving your hands, but you still had to run away in such a shameless manner. Why are you so complacent after you run away and proud of yourself instead of feeling ashamed?"
"It can't be helped. They are all loyal soldiers of the Union Army who carry out my orders. They are my comrades!"
Li Yao opened his hands and said unconcernedly, "I can't expose my trump cards, and I can't yell at them to kill them. What else can I do except to run away?
"Besides, tactics mean that we should take advantage of our strengths and avoid our weaknesses. What I'm best at is running away and cracking the enemy's schemes while I'm running away! Therefore, I have to run away first so that I can find the rhythm to defeat the enemy! "
Taking a deep breath, Long Yangjun said, one word after another, "Then, may I ask, honorable Monster Li, have you found the rhythm after taking more than a thousand shots for no reason? It must be noted that Professor Mo Xuan and the Union Army are not idiots. It won't be long before they catch up with our bait and discover that it is fake!
"The universe is a vast place, but we cannot run to the outside world aimlessly. We have to return to Hundred Flowers City sooner or later.
"How are we going to sneak into Hundred Flowers City in less than twenty minutes, or at most half an hour? Not to mention sneaking in through the spaceports, I guarantee that the sixteen spaceports of Hundred Flowers City must have been locked down. All the starships in and out of Hundred Flowers City will be scanned carefully. Even a flea will be discovered! "
Li Yao smiled. Looking at the glittering silver metropolis not far away, like a fly staring at an egg that had cracks and was emitting alluring aroma, he said confidently, "Don't be hasty. I've completely found the rhythm!"
Five minutes later …
The two of them adjusted their trajectories in space with their feeble spiritual energy and slowly reached the other side of Hundred Flowers City.
From their perspective, they could see that an enormous silver ball-shaped town outside of Hundred Flowers City had a crack that was as thin as a thread on the shell that was as smooth as a mirror.
A series of dark cubes that looked like compressed garbage spurted out of the crack. Pushed by the inertia, they rushed toward the star far away.
If they observed more carefully, they would discover that there were countless such cubes between Hundred Flowers City and the star, which constituted a thin and long chain.
One end of the chain was the crack, and the other end seemed to extend all the way to the depths of the star, but it was too blurred to be seen clearly.
"This is the garbage processing center of Hundred Flowers City."
Li Yao explained to Long Yangjun through telepathic thoughts. "Hundred Flowers City has a population of almost a hundred million. It is one of the largest cities on the surface of a planet. The garbage that is generated every day is astronomical.
"Also, this place is a fully-enclosed structure in space. There is no space to burn or fill with garbage.
"If it were a normal space town, they might've packed the garbage and launched it into space. After all, the universe is too vast to be filled.
"However, as it happens, Hundred Flowers City is the transportation hub of the seven Sectors of the Federation. There are dense sailing routes around it. Too many starships have jumped to this place for transit. If the garbage is allowed to drift freely, accidents may easily happen.
"Therefore, the garbage processing center of Hundred Flowers City compresses the garbage that cannot be recycled by ninety-nine percent. After it is compressed into cubes that look like metal, it is shot into the star with a special 'cannon' so that the star will burn it up!
"Hundred Flowers City is too large, and there are too many people. The garbage processing center is running day and night. It is rarely closed!
"Let's go!"
Li Yao dragged Long Yangjun. Pushed by the invisible flames of spiritual energy, the two of them darted toward the ejectors of the garbage processing center like two tiny scraps of stars.
When the Union Army, who thought that they were hunting the spies of the Imperium, chased them all the way to the edge of the Hundred Flowers Space Zone, only to discover that the two wretched 'Crystal Suit' had been obliterated instantly, and even the magical equipment that created the illusions had exploded without leaving anything behind.
