Long Yangjun's words were like a thunderbolt that completely shattered the atmosphere between her and Li Yao.
Li Yao's "loyal, honorable, and unreserved" face was frozen on his face, and cold sweat was popping up on his forehead again.
Li Yao stared at Long Yangjun without saying anything, and he couldn't have been more frustrated.
Long Yangjun blinked her eyes quickly and said, "Huh?"
Li Yao also said, "Huh?"
Long Yangjun said, "What do you mean by 'huh'?"
Li Yao said, "What I'm saying is … You're too ruthless! Even if we really turned against each other and couldn't wait to mince each other into pieces, and we were both loyal to His Majesty without any trickery, the Colossi were our lifeblood. Was it necessary to go overboard with it? For example, of course, I'm loyal to His Majesty and even willing to sacrifice for the future of the civilization of mankind, but it doesn't mean that I have to cut my lifeblood to serve His Majesty! Would you do that if it were you? "
"I … would!"
Long Yangjun opened her hands and said, "I was once a eunuch for almost a hundred years. You know that!"
Li Yao took a deep breath and looked at the sky, lost for words, only to discover that there was nothing but dark rocks above his head.
"All in all, I have brought out the Colossi. I think it is the most direct and effective way to express my loyalty to His Majesty. Only in such a way can His Majesty completely trust us. Just tell me if you dare or not!"
Long Yangjun raised the Cosmos Ring and stared at Li Yao thoughtfully. "In case you accuse me of passing off the Cosmos Ring as a fake, I will summon the Heavenly Crystal right now. Please don't misunderstand me, Your Majesty. I am not preparing to attack. Even if I do attack, I will only stomp on Li Yao's head and blow it up!"
"Alright!"
Li Yao gnashed his teeth. "You were bold enough to summon the Colossus and check the authenticity of the Cosmos Ring as a loyal subject. Why can't I? I will also summon 'Arsonist', my Colossus, and show it to Your Majesty. Of course, if I have a chance to blow up your abdomen, I will not show any mercy. Remember, it's the abdomen! "
As he spoke, Li Yao also took out his Interspatial Ring and was about to activate it.
"Wait!"
Wuying Qi observed coldly and suddenly said, "Li Yao, step aside and let Long Yangjun do it first. You will do it one by one. Don't summon your Colossi at the same time."
Li Yao: "Huh?"
"Huh?"
The two of them looked at each other, wishing they could slap each other thirty-six thousand times in one breath. They said in unison, "What are you 'ah' for again?!"
"Let's not waste any more time. The Gold Crystal Pyramid has been activated. We must seize every second."
Wuying Qi narrowed his eyes and looked at the two of them. "If you really want to prove your loyalty, let's begin. Long Yangjun, you go first. I'd like to appreciate your Colossus' Heavenly Crystal 'again!"
"… Yes, Your Majesty."
Long Yangjun's eyes and lips shivered at the same time, with colors of unknown colors flashing in her eyes. In the end, she simply closed her eyes and took a deep breath. With space ripples spreading out from her fingers, she retrieved her Colossus "Heavenly Crystal"!
Sparkling and translucent brilliance instantly filled the entire cavern.
However, Wuying Qi's attention was not on Long Yangjun at all but locked onto Li Yao. To be more exact, it was on Li Yao's finger that was rubbing the Cosmos Ring nonstop.
It seemed that as long as Li Yao showed any sign that he was going to summon his Colossus at such a critical moment, Wuying Qi would launch the fiercest attack on him without any hesitation.
Li Yao could feel the bone-chilling coldness deep inside his body.
Therefore, he did not dare to act recklessly at all and could only watch Long Yangjun's Colossus taking shape.
But out of his expectation, when Long Yangjun's Colossus "Heavenly Crystal" was only half revealed from the void and hadn't completely revealed its hideous appearance, Wuying Qi said casually, "Enough. Take it back. I've realized your loyalty, Long Yangjun."
Before Long Yangjun sat in the cockpit of the "Heavenly Crystal", she opened her eyes abruptly, only to see that Wuying Qi was staring at her thoughtfully.
It was the most difficult phase for the Colossus. It would take at least a few seconds for it to be fully equipped and unleash the ultimate strength.
Wuying Qi, on the other hand, would certainly not give her a few seconds.
Long Yangjun could only interrupt the process of the Colossus obediently and press the "Heavenly Crystal" back.
"Now, it's your turn, Li Yao."
Wuying Qi turned around and looked at Li Yao with a smile. "Is there a problem?"
"Of course … not a problem!"
Li Yao raised his right arm and slowly raised his middle finger that was wearing a Cosmos Ring at Long Yangjun's direction.
The Colossus "Arsonist" had arrived from the void!
"Enough."
In the same way, Wuying Qi interrupted Li Yao's process of extraction when "Arsonist" had only revealed 30% of its form, not giving Li Yao any chance to completely extract the Colossus. "Is this the super weapon that defeated three experts in the Divinity Transformation Stage and three Colossi in a row? It's truly sharp, but I'll study it later when I have time. For now, I'll put it back. "
Having no other choice, Li Yao could only hold back "Arsonist".
"Right, there's something that I've been very curious about. Now that you are so frank, I don't think you will keep such trivial matters to yourself."
Wuying Qi looked at Li Yao and then at Li Yao. "I remember that during our battle at the bottom of the Silver Moon Ocean, I crushed your Colossi into smithereens and drained Li Yao's soul and body. Why are your Colossi renewed after only half a month? Also, Li Yao's capability has improved by quite a few levels, as if he had some new fortuitous incidents?
"As for your 'Heavenly Crystal', I can still tell what it used to look like. It's still within the reasonable range of maintenance and modification.
"But your 'Arsonist', on the other hand, has been reborn. It's almost like a technological explosion. What's going on exactly?"
Li Yao was completely stumped by the question.
It was like a huge hammer had smashed into the tip of his nose, smashing his nostrils to the back of his head.
"Well …"
Li Yao rolled his eyes quickly, not knowing how he should explain it.
"Huh?"
Killing intent appeared in Wuying Qi's eyes again, and his face was gloomy.
"Li Yao, with everything coming to this point, are you still unwilling to tell me about the 'wizardly civilization'?"
Long Yangjun glared at him. "How long are you going to keep it a secret from His Majesty?"
"Yes, the wizardly civilization!"
Bulging his eyes, Li Yao blurted out, "It was with the technology of the primeval civilization and the technological modification of the wizardly civilization that I transformed the 'Arsonist' into such a deformed state. In the meantime, my combat ability was slightly improved too!"
"The wizardly civilization?"
Wuying Qi was suspicious. "What's that?"
"It's the civilization form from the multiverse that Your Majesty mentioned to me just now. It's corresponding to the civilization of the Immortal Cultivators!"
Li Yao said quickly, "When I just jumped to the Imperium, I was forced to land in the Devilish Scorpion Nebula. As a result, I discovered the debris of a starship of the wizardly civilization at the edge of the chaotic nebula, which contained all kinds of bizarre items. I swallowed tremendous heritages without knowing it and did not know the mysteries of the grand universe.
"Those heritages were stuck deep inside my body and my soul. I tried everything to unlock them, but my efforts were in vain. But after Your Majesty's careful tutelage at the bottom of the Silver Moon Ocean, all the veins inside my body that were blocked were immediately opened, allowing me to perceive a lot of mysterious and indescribable heritages. Therefore, it's all thanks to Your Majesty. Of course, it's also safe to say that Your Majesty has brought the greatest wealth to the civilization of mankind before the plan is activated!"
"That explains a lot. The wizardly civilization?"
Wuying Qi had gotten in touch with some intelligence about the alien civilizations in the multiverse. What Li Yao said did more or less match it. He couldn't help but be more convinced. "How interesting …"
"If you don't believe me, Your Majesty, I can recite a few songs of the wizardly civilization right now to prove it."
Li Yao cleared his throat and sang, "ABCDEFG, HIJKLMN, OPQ …"
"Enough. Shut up."
Wuying Qi rubbed his temples softly. "Of course, I believe what you said. You don't have to prove it in such a … way."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Li Yao was relieved. Wiping his sweat, he said, "It's not that I want to keep the wizardly civilization a secret, but it has little to do with the final battle right now. That's why I didn't mention it and wasted your time. I would've told it to Your Majesty if I had the chance.
"Well, now that we're all loyal to Your Majesty and Your Majesty trusts us, it's fine. The sky is clear after the rain, and the dark clouds are gone. What should we do now? Your Majesty, as long as you say the word, we'll go through water and tread on fire, and even die for you!"
While interrupting, Li Yao moved his hand that was wearing the Cosmos Ring behind him.
But it was useless. Wuying Qi's eyes were still glued to the Cosmos Ring where the Colossus was stored. He did not stop for even half a second. It was impossible for him to play any tricks.
"Huh …"
Li Yao was lost for words as he talked.
"It seems that we should give the Colossus to Your Majesty now."
Long Yangjun reminded him.
"Of course. Am I not giving the Colossus to Your Majesty right now?"
Under Wuying Qi's half scorching and half cold eyes, Li Yao could only take out the Cosmos Ring that stored "Arsonist" and give it to Wuying Qi slowly, slowly, slowly.
"Let me tell you, you really think too little of His Majesty!"
Li Yao glared at Long Yangjun and said, one word after another, "Even if we are willing to give the Colossus to His Majesty, he certainly won't accept it with His Majesty's vision and breadth of mind.
