Chapter 589

"I still don't understand—although Nanook's madmen are indeed universally disliked, is it really necessary for you to go to such lengths to kill his messenger?"

Seeing Lin Yu's eagerness to try, Svarog shrugged helplessly.

"This is very dangerous. You're taking such a big risk. What benefits can you possibly gain?"

"What you're saying—if we could eliminate a Destruction Lord, many fewer people would die in the universe. Isn't that enough benefit for me to take action?"

After stomping hard on the ground, Lin Yu caught up with Phantylia's steps and said to Svarog behind him.

"Svarog Brother Sambo for his great help. Now, please enjoy the drama from the audience."

"Alright, alright, then I'll be the clown leaving the stage and applaud you from below."

Sensing that other powerful individuals had arrived, Svarog immediately chose to slip away from the area without saying a word.

Welt, upon arriving in the area, looked at Jing Yuan and Yanqing, who had also just arrived at the scene, and spoke to them.

"Please wait a moment, everyone."

"Mr. Welt."

After glancing at the Jianmu in the distance, which was beginning to show signs of life, Jing Yuan spoke with a serious expression.

"Time is of the essence, so please get to the point."

"Alright, then I'll get straight to the point— Lin Yu just handed me the battle plan."

At that moment, Welt showed the two Lin Yu's battle plan to them, and then, through his ability to simulate a Feathered Dust, revealed the real battle plan to them.

If you two trust us, please do as we say later.

Lin Yu told me that when he stomped his foot on the ground, he left behind a force that could teleport others to other areas. As long as we step into that area, we can catch up with him.

This...

Hearing Welt utter such mysterious words, Jing Yuan was glad that he didn't have to waste time getting close to Jianmu, but he still felt that Lin Yu hadn't finished talking about this matter.

[Furthermore, he mentioned that the star cores within the Xianzhou Alliance were planted in advance by Phantylia using the Medicine Master's Legacy, but he has already had someone switch them out.]

The other star core was obtained by the train crew on another planet a few days ago. In other words, the star core Phantylia is currently using is something Lin Yu had prepared.

[Please ask the General and the young man beside him to make the fight a little more difficult, so that Phantylia will think we are no match for her power.]

[The best time for us to counterattack will be after she exposes a weakness.]

PS: 4K, to be continued tomorrow.

Trailblaze Chapter 41. Hold Back, You Can't Laugh

After hearing Welt's words through Feathered Dust, Jing Yuan was not surprised at all that Lin Yu had a plan against Phantylia.

Even though he knew this wasn't the time to think about such trivial matters, Jing Yuan couldn't help but feel uneasy as he watched the figure chasing after Phantylia.

If Phantylia succeeds in causing trouble, the first to suffer will definitely be the Luofu Xianzhou, and then the civilians in other universes near where the Luofu Xianzhou is currently located will probably be next to suffer.

As people who originally had nothing to do with this major event, the Stellaron Hunters crew could have easily left at any time.

But judging from Lin Yu's actions all the way up, Jing Yuan really felt that this person cared more about the safety of Luofu Xianzhou Ship than the locals of Luofu Xianzhou.

If it weren't for the fact that after Lin Yu entered the Divine General's Manor and informed Jing Yuan of several important pieces of information, Jing Yuan immediately ordered his subordinates to investigate for a long time without finding anyone connected to Lin Yu, he would have even suspected that Lin Yu was a master who had left the Immortal Ship a long time ago and had now returned to help his hometown solve its predicament.

Now, Lin Yu's unusual behavior...

Jing Yuan could only think that the other party must be an exceptionally kind person, which is why they would choose to confront an envoy head-on without hesitation when it didn't concern them.

The Anti-Matter Legion is indeed a notorious and mad group in the universe, but most of the time, the best thing people can do is avoid them. A force that can confront them head-on is already considered a pretty good force.

As for someone like Lin Yu, who actively sought to confront the Destruction Lord head-on, in the eyes of most worldly people...

Jing Yuan felt that, rather than praising Lin Yu's bold spirit and strong heart, most people would just think that this person was 100% crazy for thinking of going head-to-head with Nanook's direct subordinates.

"General, we..."

"Since our friends on the Stellaron Hunters have a plan, it's not a bad thing for us to wait a little while."

Looking at the plan document that Welt Imaginary Energy, Jing Yuan asked with a smile.

"But Mr. Welt... aren't you worried that Brother Lin Yu might get into trouble facing a strong enemy?"

"... Ah, it's perfectly normal for General Jing Yuan to have such doubts."

After adjusting his glasses, Welt gave a confident smile.

"It's just that the general doesn't know how capable Lin Yu is, which is why he has this concern."

"Oh, and what's Mr. Welt's opinion...?"

Looking into the distance, Welt gently shook his head.

"I am indeed a little worried, but I am more worried about something else than Lin Yu's safety."

"Please enlighten me, sir."

"I'm worried that the enemy this time is really tough to deal with, so Lin Yu might not be able to be forced to go all out and end up not being able to capture anyone alive."

In a one-on-one duel, capturing a Destruction Lord...

To be honest, Jing Yuan thought this was a bit too imaginative.

However, he could tell that Welt was absolutely not joking when he said that.

In other words, in Welt's eyes, Lin Yu had the opportunity to do this.

Jing Yuan is clearly a strategist, but now he feels that the intelligence he usually relies on is not keeping up with the times.

When Jing Yuan learned of the possible invasion by the envoy, he had already prepared for the worst.

But now, the visiting guest told him—Hey General, don't worry, maybe we can handle the messenger directly.

That's not it...

When exactly did the Stellaron Hunters organization become so powerful?

Almost at the same time, around Jianmu

Upon reaching the vicinity of Jianmu, Phantylia immediately harnessed the power of Jianmu and the star core, combining the power of the Abundance with the power of destruction to condense a gigantic physical body for himself.

But now, the moment Phantylia solidified his physical body, he still let out a helpless sigh.

"Alas, my Benefactor, I... it seems I have overestimated you."

Looking at Lin Yu, who was chasing after him, Phantylia, who had already condensed a physical body, showed a hint of disappointment in his eyes.

"I thought that although my Benefactor was outmaneuvered by me, he was at least a man of courage and wisdom."

"In my humble opinion, you should join forces with the general of the Luofu Xianzhou to discuss how to carry out a gang crime... oh no, perhaps I should say how to work together to defeat this villain."

"But now..."

Looking at Lin Yu standing in front of him, Phantylia suddenly felt that Jianmu and the star core... seemed a little bit off.

Phantylia, who had noticed this, did not take it to heart. Instead, she shook her head and continued to speak to Lin Yu in the gentlest tone, but her words were not so gentle.

"If you're willing to join forces with that general from the Luofu Xianzhou, you might be able to hold out a little longer during the battle."

"It's a pity that you've so recklessly chased after me now..."

Seeing Lin Yu radiating a surge of fighting spirit, Phantylia stretched out his enormous palm towards Lin Yu.

"Considering that we have known each other, I will kill my Benefactor and transform him into a slightly stronger Voidmote."

"Wow, you're so confident."

Faced with an opponent whose energy level was frighteningly high, Lin Yu stretched his limbs and took out a new lollipop. In a very rude manner, he tore off the plastic coating and threw it on the ground before popping it into his mouth.

"Relying on the Jianmu and the star core, he gained a powerful body... Heh, what a clever scheme, he even fooled me."

"But even using the power of the Jianmu and the star core, creating such a large body would still take time. If we extrapolate from that..."

Facing the formidable enemy before him, Lin Yu revealed a sneer.

"Hey, that huge body of yours might just be an empty shell now."

"Yes, I underestimated you, my Benefactor. Benefactor analysis is not without merit, but unfortunately..."

He flicked a Phantylia at Lin Yu and smiled as he spoke.

"It's a pity that the Heavenly Dao, which the people of Luofu Xianzhou often talk about, doesn't seem to be on the side of our Benefactor and Luofu Xianzhou."

It was just a seemingly simple action, yet it easily destroyed the surrounding space.

If Lin Yu hadn't dodged in time, Phantylia was confident that this attack would have rendered his opponent incapable of fighting.

"Our Benefactor only knows one side of the story, not the other."

Seeing Lin Yu's suddenly ugly expression, Phantylia smiled and said to Lin Yu.

"Logically speaking, my Benefactor's prediction is quite correct."

"But unfortunately, for some unknown reason, this star core seems to be generating power faster than I expected."

"Originally, having just obtained a physical body, I was indeed unable to use this level of power. However, due to this unexpected event, I now possess power that surpasses my peak."

At this point, a mocking look appeared on Phantylia's smiling face.

"Now, does my Benefactor still think that his reckless actions were not wrong?"

Revealing the reason for one's increased strength to the enemy—from an intelligence perspective, revealing the truth to the enemy is certainly not a smart move.

However, as the messenger of [Destruction], Phantylia was one of the Pathstrider who went the furthest on the path of destruction, besides Nanook.

She has her own understanding of the aesthetics of destruction.

She resorted to any means necessary before because she was driven to the brink, but now that the conditions are right, Phantylia will naturally choose to put her aesthetic of destruction into practice.

She revels in the destruction of "spirit," and now, what could be more likely to directly shatter Lin Yu's spirit than informing the enemy of a foolish mistake?

"... Tsk, you think I've completely lost?!"

Facing an enemy that was constantly growing stronger, Lin Yu spoke with a blustering but weak voice.

"I still have a backup plan and an ace up my sleeve—don't push me, or we'll all go our separate ways!"

Hold it in, hold it in, you can't laugh.

"Oh?"

Looking at this clearly desperate enemy, Phantylia of despair by Lin Yu earlier, felt incredibly satisfied.

Oh dear, the previous plan was completely ruined by this guy's arrival, and now he's broken through the defenses so easily.

Was I overestimating him, or...?

Enough, enough. He's not an envoy after all. No matter how hard a lowly soldier who isn't an envoy tries, he can't possibly cause any trouble in front of me, who has obtained the Jianmu and the star core.

Moreover, besides this guy, it will also take time for the Luofu Xianzhou's army to arrive—these currents have actually done me a great favor.

The power of the Star Core and Jianmu has increased too quickly. Although it is a good thing for me in the short term, it is likely to leave hidden dangers to my body in the long run.

Since he has already broken through my defenses, to avoid any unforeseen complications, I should kill him and transform him into Voidmote to stay by my side and protect me.

For the rest of the time, as long as I stay here and allow the ever-expanding power within me to settle down, even the Seven Arbiter-Generals of the Divine Bow, who are on par with the Destruction Lord, will not be able to threaten me in the slightest.

As Phantylia delivered a punch to his Benefactor, who was too tired to even speak, he felt that something was off about him.

She had truly been driven to the brink of despair before, but now that she had obtained the Star Core and the Jianmu, things were going too smoothly for her.

Neither Lin Yu nor Jing Yuan are pushovers—if these two were truly pushovers, then what about Phantylia, whose plan was almost ruined by them?

These two aren't pushovers, so things are going so smoothly right now... Should I suspect something's fishy?

No, Lin Yu's trembling body indicated that he was indeed emotionally unstable.

My current strength far surpasses the average level of a Commander, and Lin Yu's own destiny energy...

To be honest, it's ridiculously strong, but it's still far from the life force energy of an Envoy-level being.

He is absolutely no match for me, and even as one of the Seven Arbiter-Generals of the Divine Bow, Jing Yuan could not save Lin Yu from such a great distance.

Hey, he even charged at me with his fist raised—does this guy really think his fists can turn the tide of the battle?

"No, I can't hold it in anymore, so now..."

At this moment, Lin Yu, too lazy to keep up the act, revealed a violent smile.
