"Ultimate Salvation!"
The four members of the Yaksha Squad looked at each other. None of them had expected that they, who had special origins, strange experiences, were deeply feared and vigilant by others, and might even be infected by the Puppet King, would actually have the qualifications to go to such a … sacred and core place!
According to the legends, each of the five Ultimate Benevolence Masters had an enormous, spectacular space fortress as their vehicles and palaces.
Ultimate Salvation, on the other hand, was the communication center of the five space fortresses. It was the main computation and storage center of the Fuxi system that maintained the entire Holy League in the form of a bee civilization.
Most of the data of the Fuxi system was stored on "Ultimate Salvation". The information of every "soldier bee" and "worker bee" in the entire civilization was communicated through the Spiritual Nexus that spread across hundreds of Sectors. Then, it was analyzed, integrated, and calculated by "Ultimate Salvation" before it was relayed to new nerve endings.
Ultimate Salvation was the 'brain' of the Holy League and the Fuxi system.
Therefore, some people called Ultimate Salvation 'Fuxi', and the five space fortresses and the enormous main force fleet of the Holy League centered around Ultimate Salvation were called the 'Fuxi Fleet'!
But right now, the petty sinners were qualified to enter the brain of the Fuxi Fleet?
What was the fate that awaited them there?
The four members of the yaksha squad were silent. Their eyes were shaking.
Perhaps seeing their uneasiness, the 'photon' continued, "You've been hunting the Puppet King for a long time. Your souls are already exhausted. During the battle in the City of Light, it is possible that the Puppet King snuck in and heavily wounded your brains with secret techniques. You must receive the best treatment.
"After you arrive on Ultimate Salvation, the five Ultimate Benevolence Masters will work together to drive all the viruses in your brains and the … evil, filthy, and unpleasant things.
"By then, you will be able to evolve to a new height in the state of holiness, brightness, and tranquility. You will enjoy the glory that belongs to you forever.
"This way, please."
He bowed at Chu Zhixiao and the rest of them and gestured for them to walk out.
The front door of the inpatient building opened, and they could vaguely see the heavily guarded Halberd Forest outside. Countless Blessed Army, Cleaners, Purifiers, and 'Photons' were vigilantly staring at the medical cabin in the middle of them.
Perhaps, he was also watching their every move, including every strand of hair on their bodies.
Chu Zhixiao and Yun Haixin exchanged an indescribably complicated look.
They didn't seem to have a second choice other than to carry out their orders. There was no second path to take.
"Let's go, everyone."
Chu Zhixiao took a step forward and patted Li Yao's head. "And you, Red Pig."
Li Yao's Spirit was in turmoil.
Just now, this "photon" had revealed countless "heavenly secrets" in just a few short sentences.
First of all, the Fuxi fleet, including the five space fortresses of the Holy League and "Ultimate Salvation", had been secretly mobilized to the periphery of the Empyreal Terminus Sector without alarming anyone?
The sky was vast, and the sea of stars was unpredictable. The diameter of any random Sector could be calculated in billions of kilometers. On such a scale, the traces of human beings, whether they were the Federation, the Imperium, or the Holy League, were like drifting dust and needles in a haystack. It was extremely difficult to search and lock onto them.
Besides, most of the elites of the Imperium had been mobilized to the rear to deal with the remnants of the four Kurfürst families. Only the information lives such as Xiaoming and Wenwen were controlling the highly-automatic defense system. Also, part of the Imperial Guards were still able to maintain the defense line of the capital.
Therefore, the main force of the Holy League had indeed snuck to the periphery of the Empyreal Terminus Sector. For example, in a desolate space zone tens of billions of kilometers away from the Empyreal Terminus, they could cover their existence with the cosmic storms or the turbulence of stellar radiation. It was indeed possible for them to gather and regroup in secret.
Of course, the distance of tens of billions of kilometers was still an insurmountable chasm for regular navigation with the fuel of crystals and the power system of the working medium.
Even if the entire Fuxi fleet could maintain the regular cruising speed of one tenth the speed of light, it was only a theoretical possibility. In reality, it would be an all-out assault of the fleet, which could not be maintained for long at all. It would still take a couple of years for them to reach the resourceful area of the Empyreal Terminus Sector.
That was under the premise that the Imperium was too stupid to notice the existence of the fleet and did not harass them at all.
Once the Imperium began to harass and block them, and they were waiting for the Fuxi fleet to be exhausted, the advantage of the "surprise attack" would be completely lost, and they would be committing suicide after a long journey.
Therefore, when the distance between the two parties was extended to more than one lightyear, the length of the distance in the three-dimensional space would lose its significance. After all, no matter how far the distance was, the problem would have to be solved through the four-dimensional space jump.
Even if the main force of the Holy League did gather at the periphery of the Empyreal Terminus Sector in secret, they would still need to perform another space jump in order to appear in the sky of the capital. It was just a psychological deterrence.
However, for Li Yao, the intelligence still meant two things.
Firstly, the strategic final battle of the Holy League was about to break out. Even if it was not three days, they would certainly hit the capital in a week or a month at most.
Secondly, if they jumped in from the periphery of the Empyreal Terminus Sector, it would be a "midrange jump". The precision of the jump would be relatively high, and it would only take them a short time to get rid of the chaos caused by the space ripples after the jump.
For the Imperium and the Federation, it was not good news at all.
Thankfully, Li Yao had a rarely-seen opportunity to stab into the heart and the "mastermind" of the Holy League, Ultimate Salvation.
It was even possible that he could find the five Ultimate Benevolence Masters there and kill them all together!
However, the whole 'ghost catching operation', including the escort mission for the yakshas, was full of the smell of weirdness and schemes. Li Yao did not know what kind of secrets were hidden on Ultimate Salvation.
Was it a trap?
If it was a trap, who set it up for whom?
After only a moment, Li Yao's computational ability soared to the maximum, so much so that the mainframe crystal processor of the Spider tank was almost humming.
After thinking for a long time, he felt that he had not been exposed. Even if there was a trap, it could not have been prepared for him.
The most important thing was that his decision to stay in the Covenant Alliance was a temporary one. It was even an unexpected change that nobody had foreseen.
Half a month ago, even he could not have foreseen that he would turn into such a weird life form and be trapped in the Spiritual Nexus of the Holy League.
If there was truly an enormous, well-structured, and well-connected trap, it could not have been made up in a couple of days, could it? A couple of days ago, even he did not know what he was going to do. How could the enemy have predicted his actions?
Therefore, the trap could not have been designed for him.
Then, wouldn't sneaking into Ultimate Salvation and finding out what was going on and even sabotaging it at the critical moment be his specialty?
"Very good. Right now, the five Ultimate Benevolence Masters must've focused their attention on the Puppet King. Never in their dreams would they have imagined that not one but two 'fatal viruses' have been sent into the mainframe of the Fuxi system. Other than the Puppet King, there is also 'Vulture Li Yao'!
"This is the rear of the Holy League. If I stay here, it will be difficult for me to reach out to my hometown. But if I go to the frontline near the Empyreal Terminus Sector, I may have a chance to reach out to Xiaoming, Wenwen, and A Boxing Champion!
"Even if the Holy League does launch an assault at the heart of the Imperium so soon, I can cooperate with Xiaoming and Wenwen and wreak havoc in the brain of the Holy League!
"Is Lu Qingchen, the Puppet King, really doomed just like that? He felt that it was too simple and too easy. Also, the mysterious existence behind Lu Qingchen who turned him into the Puppet King hadn't shown up yet. Was it possible that the mysterious existence was planning to do something to Ultimate Salvation, too?
"When the mantis hunts the cicada, the sparrow is behind it. When the sandpiper and the clam fight, the fisherman benefits. But who is the mantis and who is the sparrow? Who is the sandpiper and who is the fisherman? I believe that we will find out the answer very soon.
"Then, come on. Let's see what the mainframe of the so-called Holy League looks like exactly!"
Thinking in silence, Li Yao followed the yaksha squad back to the dock at the periphery of Eternal Light through a secret teleportation array.
A small, streamlined shuttle that was entirely transparent was waiting for them there.
There were still few soldiers around. The few soldiers of the Blessed Army and the 'Photon Warriors' were all fully armed in the Mirror Crystal Suit without leaving any gap, as if they were faced with a great enemy and wary of the source of fatal infection.
Even the battle puppets for ancillary purposes were of the simplest models, as if they were afraid that the Puppet King would suddenly wake up and invade and control those puppets.
Through the observation hole the size of a fist on the top of the medical cabin, it could be seen that the Puppet King was still asleep.
He seemed to have been sealed in a piece of jade. He was sleeping peacefully and peacefully.
The light beam of the crystal processor nearby displayed his brainwaves all the time. He was as tranquil as a sleeping baby.
Of course, the crystal processor installed in the medical cabin was completely blocked from the wireless network. Even the possibility of the network had been eliminated from its structure.
But they did not deprive Li Yao of his ability to surf the net.
It was impossible to deprive him of it.
That was enough.
Like a needle made of crystal, the shuttle slid out of Eternal Light without a sound and sailed to the edge of the 'Well in the Sector'. The brilliance around the starship grew brighter and brighter, as if it were piercing a tiny hole where the darkness was thinnest.
Bright blue gel filled the entire cabin and fixed everybody to their seats, including the medical cabin where the Puppet King was sealed.
