Li Yao's heart was beating faster and faster, as if a certain mysterious summon was up ahead.
On a large maintenance rack, the first thing that he saw was the remains of a crimson Colossus that had been dismembered into pieces.
The upper body of the Colossus was enormous, and the lower limbs were short. It was in the shape of an inverted triangle, and sharp tusks were embedded from the shoulders to the back of the hands, as if they were synonymous with "destruction" and "doom".
At this moment, the limbs of the Colossus had all been broken and placed on one side. The core units that made up the torso were on the brink of destruction. The mainframe crystal processor, which was the most critical part, had been riddled with holes and could not move at all.
However, it was still emitting overwhelming energy in silence, as if it were the eternal fire that was burning everyone in the deepest level of hell.
Li Yao had never seen such a brutal Colossus. Every stream of flames turned into a saber of fear that slashed into his brain deeply.
His rationality told him that the Colossus had been paralyzed and dissected thousands of years ago, and it was impossible for it to be reassembled.
However, his instincts and intuitions were sending out sharp alarms, as if the mental mark of the owner of the Colossus was so strong that his killing intent and brutality could not be extinguished even after ten thousand years.
Even "Blackhole's Heart", Blackstar the Great's personal vehicle, had never brought such immense pressure to Li Yao.
The enemy was clearly paralyzed in silence, but Li Yao's back was immediately soaked in sweat.
Li Yao thought quickly and searched for the few most famous Colossi in the history of mankind in his head.
Without thinking, a soul-stirring name jumped out of his head in one ten-thousandth of a second. It was raging and laughing hideously.
It was an out-and-out "destruction" and "doomsday". It was the vehicle of the Mad Armageddon that had brought great sufferings to the civilization of mankind, almost plunging the Pangu universe into eternal darkness, and completely wiping out the civilization of mankind!
Yes. Only "Armageddon Catastrophe", the legendary super Colossus with the highest attack ability in the universe of Pangu, could have given Li Yao so much pressure when faced with "Arsonist" that was a combination of the Tartarean Skeleton and Blackhole's Heart.
Only the Apocalyptic Cataclysm could remain as ferocious as ever after the world-shaking battle ten thousand years ago, even after ten thousand years of erosion!
According to the legends, the Mad Armageddon had gathered the forces of the rebels of the Imperium, the remnants of the demon race, and the extraterrestrial devils with the 'Apocalypse Catastrophe'. Then, he marched into the Empyrean Terminus Sector and spread the fire of destruction across the entire Pangu universe.
Even the Supreme Emperor, the greatest expert of the civilization of mankind since ancient times, had been heavily wounded by the apocalypse controlled by the Blood God. He had to escape into the primeval relics and keep himself in the mysterious state of neither life nor death with the help of the "Time Stop" technique there, hoping that a miracle similar to the "Light of Life" would happen one day, allowing him to be revived and return to the world.
However, Li Yao couldn't figure it out.
Wasn't it the Supreme Emperor who escaped into the primordial relics? Why was the Blood God's Colossus here, and why did it seem to have been chopped into pieces?
If the Blood God followed the Supreme Emperor into the primordial relics, it didn't make sense either. Then, how could Blackstar the Great encounter the space fortress that carried the remaining soul of the Blood God when he left his hometown and wandered into space?
There was no need for Wuying Qi to lie about that.
Also, not only did Li Yao hear it from Wuying Qi, but he also learned it by reading his memory pieces from Wuying Qi.
When Li Yao's self-awareness was melded with Wuying Qi's memory pieces, he could clearly sense the formidability and helplessness of "himself" when he encountered the remaining soul of the Blood God for the first time.
The feeling that had been poured into every nerve ending couldn't have been faked.
Li Yao was baffled, but he couldn't help but raise his wariness. It couldn't be a good thing that the Blood God's vehicle showed up here.
"This is … an apocalyptic catastrophe!"
Lu Qingchen exclaimed. He recognized it, too.
Then, Li Yao sensed subtle ripples from Lu Qingchen's soul. The hammers were humming, which was a sign that their computational ability was soaring.
"Hey, don't play with fire. Don't try to achieve your purpose with the strength of the Supreme Emperor or the Blood God!"
Li Yao saw through Lu Qingchen's motives after a quick glance. He warned in advance, "Whether the enemy is the Supreme Emperor, the Blood God, or anything else, they are not to be taken advantage of easily. Be careful not to get burned by the fire that you're playing with!"
Lu Qingchen snorted softly and did not comment.
If he still had eyes, his eyeballs must've been rolling crazily right now.
He had always been a person who did not believe in heresy. "My life is in my own hands and not in the hands of the heavens." This was his Dao heart.
However, Lu Qingchen was obviously as curious as Li Yao as he was about why the Blood God's Colossus was here and why it had been beaten so miserably. Who did it?
Very soon, they saw the answer.
As if the clouds were dispelled, the mist dispersed, and ten thousand golden loudspeakers blew at the same time. The bright gold Colossus that seemed to be made of topaz appeared before the two of them.
Li Yao's and Lu Qingchen's soul waves were frozen at the same time. They were caught in indescribable shock.
It was not the tallest and most ferocious Colossus that they had ever seen. It lacked the everlasting brutality of the apocalyptic catastrophe, too.
There were no dazzling external units on the surface of the Colossus. There were no acceleration wings or spoilers on the back that matched the aerodynamic principles. Even the sophisticated, flamboyant runes that were usually found on the composite plate armor of most Colossi were barely seen. It was almost like a plain, basic Colossus.
However, the bright gold brilliance that was spreading out of every inch of its plate armor, every gap, and every mottled power nozzle gave the feeling of warmth and trust. It was like the trust that the carbon-based intelligent life had for the sun. It was a natural instinct that originated from the deepest part of their genes.
This Colossus would never be defeated, just like the sun would never be extinguished.
It was the sun. The Golden Sun, the vehicle of the Supreme Emperor, the legendary best expert of the civilization of mankind!
When they saw the debris of the apocalyptic catastrophe just now, Li Yao's and Lu Qingchen's soul waves were very intense. But right now, they did not know what to think except for shock and reverence.
In particular, the maintenance of the "Golden Sun" was much better than that of the "apocalyptic catastrophe". There was barely any damage on the surface, and the limbs and the power units were all intact. The abdomen where the user and the mainframe crystal processor were located was also highly organized.
In other words, the Colossus … could still move?
Li Yao was rather shocked by his own thought.
But the brilliance in his eyes that was as scorching as magma betrayed his thoughts.
The mysterious gold man finally stopped in the middle of the "Golden Sun" and the "apocalyptic catastrophe". He turned around and looked at Li Yao.
Li Yao's heart was beating so fast that it was about to explode.
"Chi —"
Vague mist leaked out of every gap on the Golden Crystal Suit and surrounded him, making him even more mysterious and unpredictable.
Then, the Crystal Suit blossomed like petals, revealing the user inside. It turned out to be …
"Huh?"
Li Yao was dumbfounded.
Lu Qingchen's soul waves missed half a beat, too.
There was no one inside the Golden Crystal Suit. What supported the armor was a cluster of fleshy, shivering black gel that looked like jelly. At first glance, it was exactly the same material that constituted "Little Black". It was some sort of liquid metal that boasted the ability of self-thinking.
The cluster of black gel flew out of the Crystal Suit and grew two short and small wings. It flapped clumsily in midair as if it were dancing some sort of "invitation". From that point of view, it looked more like "Little Black".
As it turned out, "Little Black" sensed the call of its former companions. It also moved anxiously and impatiently, leaving the spiritual residence that was opened by the Arsonist in a hurry. Turning back into the adorable ball form, it flew to the midair and danced together with the ball that crawled out of the Golden Crystal Suit.
Li Yao had never seen Little Black like this before. It seemed that the seal inside its body had been completely unlocked in the dance and resonance of the two balls.
Ripples spread out on the surface of the two balls at the same time. Attracted to each other, they drew closer and closer to each other and melted into a gigantic ball.
When they were split into two halves, both Little Black and the ball gave the feeling of cuteness and harmlessness, as if they were inconspicuous pets.
But once they were melted, they immediately unleashed such immense pressure that the pressure in the entire space was ten times higher than before!
"Little Black?"
Li Yao did not know whether Little Black had swallowed the ball, or the ball had swallowed Little Black, or if Little Black had finally completed its mission after ten thousand years and returned to its' complete form '. All in all, glamorous brilliance and glamorous stripes were beaming out of the surface of the gigantic black ball. It was exchanging and processing information a hundred times faster than the regular way, transmitting everything that Little Black had encountered in the outside world, from the Tian Yuan Realm to the Flying Star Sector, from the Federation to the Imperium, and all the information about Li Yao's growth and the reunification of the civilization of mankind.
The immaculate black ball floated in midair and revolved slowly, considering in silence.
Li Yao had a weird feeling. Maybe Little Black had secretly sent a message to him and told him that it was a test program set up by the Supreme Emperor ten thousand years ago. By scanning and analyzing all the information in the outside world, it would decide whether or not the person that Little Black brought here was qualified to receive something.
With crisp beeping sounds, a dominating emblem finally popped up on the surface of the black ball and revolved around it vaguely.
It was a picture of a red dragon baring its fangs and brandishing its claws, chasing after a glittering sun, as if it was going to open its bloody mouth and swallow the sun and even the stars in the sky.
