Diamond: "Lord Qlipoth, How Did You Get Out?!" [Second Update]
Only after doing all this did he finally breathe a sigh of relief.
Finally,
After all this turmoil, the war that first pitted them against the Anti-Matter Legion and then against the Interastral Peace Corporation is finally coming to an end.
Just as Ji Yuan thought he could wait for the system to calculate his achievement, the communicators on Topaz, Aventurine, and Ratio rang.
Then, a man's voice came through the communicator.
"I have observed what happened here clearly through the equipment on board the fleet. The company cannot tolerate this level of loss, and our Strategic Investment Department cannot tolerate it even more. Aventurine, we can deal with your matter later; I will be there soon."
Upon hearing this voice, Topaz and Aventurine's expressions changed drastically. Even Ratio's expression turned somewhat unpleasant.
Nguyen May said thoughtfully, "It looks like your boss is coming. Perfect, I want to know just how powerful Chadwick's Imaginary Collapse Pulse Technology really is."
"That's right, it's our boss, 'Diamond'."
Aventurine admitted.
The diamonds are coming.
A shadow fell over Ji Yuan and the others once again.
This is not Emanator like Aventurine or Topaz that borrows the power of others; it is a genuine and thorough Emanator, and a long-established Preservation Emanator at that.
Firefly's strength is much weaker.
Now that he's coming over, how will this battle unfold?
Just as Ji Yuan was anxiously pondering what other way to break the deadlock was, an explosion rang out in the communicator.
Um!?
Upon hearing the explosion, everyone present looked surprised.
The diamonds are under attack?
He is the Preservation Emanator; who else could possibly attack him?
Everyone else was filled with doubt.
However, at this moment, Ji Yuan's eyes lit up.
"Yes, how could I have forgotten about her?"
Just as he was saying this, a woman's voice came through the communicator.
"Is it you who wanted to harm Ji Yuan? Preservation Emanator? I'd like to see just how much power the Amber Lord has given you."
Upon hearing this voice, everyone exchanged bewildered glances.
Those who participated in the war, especially Dan Heng, Ruan Mei, and Firefly, were all stunned.
Firefly asked Ruan Mei, "This... it sounds like Tingyun, oh no, it's Phantylia's voice. How did she get here? Did she escape from prison?"
"No, it might not be a prison break." Ruan Mei glanced at Ji Yuan.
"I was really saved by the charm of my student."
The communicators on Aventurine, Topaz, and the others were disconnected again; it was clear that the communication had been cut off by Diamond.
"Will you continue to fight us?"
Ji Yuan asked Aventurine.
Topaz also came to the opposite side of Ji Yuan at this time, his expression also somewhat conflicted.
"The Diamond Boss didn't finish giving the orders just now. If he can't come over for the time being, then the command here is still in our hands. Therefore, I don't have the authority to cancel my surrender order."
Aventurine said with a grin.
Since we're already going to die anyway, it doesn't matter if we take on a couple more blames.
Meanwhile, on the diamond's ship, the battle had not yet begun.
Faced with the Phantylia power of both destruction and Abundance, even the veteran Preservation Emanator Diamond was not confident of victory.
Since neither side is confident of victory, they might as well sit down and have a proper talk.
"Tsk, the coffee on your ship is really bad, not as good as the tea on the Luofu Starfaring Vessel."
After taking a sip of coffee, Phantylia said with obvious disdain.
"When did you become a dog of the Celestial Ark Alliance?"
Diamond sneered and mocked Phantylia.
"I don't want to be a dog for the entire Celestial Ark Alliance; I'm only doing it for one person."
Phantylia said indifferently.
Diamond covered his forehead, looking somewhat troubled.
"With me here, you won't try to forcibly take the little guy's invention. His things are his things, and if he doesn't want to give them up, you can't just take them. The creation of the Emanator is a first in the entire world, and this technology certainly cannot be given to you."
As if remembering something, Phantylia smiled and said to Diamond:
"Oh, right, there's something else I want to tell you."
"What?"
"Isn't your company headquarters going to hold an expo soon? Marshal Hua of the Celestial Ark Alliance just wanted to relax, so he went there to visit."
Diamond's expression also looked rather unpleasant.
His chances of winning against Phantylia were still uncertain. But against Hua, Diamond was certain he would lose.
That terrifying woman went directly to the company headquarters, where she declared to the Interastral Peace Corporation that the Celestial Ark Alliance firmly supported Ji Yuan and his group.
It's no wonder, though. If the Celestial Ark Alliance didn't firmly support Ji Yuan, given their technology for creating Emanator and Imaginary Collapse Pulse Technology, it would be strange indeed.
Moreover, it's not just about technology. With Ji Yuan here, the Emanator of Destruction Phantylia, plus the newly appeared Emanator of Abundance, their Emanator combat power is something no one can ignore.
Seeing Diamond's expression, Phantylia continued with a smile:
"Don't worry, our Celestial Ark Alliance is still very reasonable. The Imaginary Collapse Pulse Technology is the basic version provided by your company. Ji Yuan had already agreed to share it with the company before we set off. Without the little guy, you could say you would have needed to consume countless Aeon Epochs and countless resources to develop this technology. We are willing to share it with you, and I feel that you have actually made a profit."
Quietly, she had already included herself in the Celestial Ark Alliance.
Upon hearing Phantylia's words, Diamond showed a thoughtful expression.
From the perspective of resource consumption and manpower loss, sharing the Imaginary Collapse Pulse Technology with others is indeed profitable.
However, this incident has caused the company to lose face considerably.
Image issues also need to be considered.
Diamond began to ponder.
Chapter 204 Diamond: Amber Lord, what brings you out here!? [Second Update]
"What? Are you worried about the company's image? Or are you saying that your Strategic Investment Department will be influenced by others?"
With a smile on his lips Phantylia said, "Which do you think is more important, the value of the Imaginary Collapse Pulse Technology or the loss of image for the company's Strategic Investment Department? Besides, it's only your subordinates who are embarrassed, not you."
"And you, as the mediator who eases the conflict between the two sides, and the excellent Strategic Investment Department manager who secures sufficient benefits for the company. Why not do it?"
Diamond looked thoughtful.
Phantylia's words weren't very convincing, but he was now very clear that, given the strength both sides were displaying, this was the best solution.
The defeats of Aventurine and Topaz were inevitable, and I had no confidence in defeating Phantylia.
If the conflict were to escalate into a full-blown war between the Interastral Peace Corporation and the Celestial Ark Alliance, things would become even worse.
In that case, the Strategic Investment Department would become the culprit for the entire company's problems.
Diamond pondered for a moment, then said to Phantylia, "Besides the Imaginary Collapse Pulse Technology, I also want to spend money and resources to request the sharing of the Emanator Creation Technology on Ji Yuan."
"That's impossible." Phantylia refused outright. "This was developed by Ji Yuan and his teacher Ruan Mei. If you want it, then you're not just considering the Celestial Ark Alliance, but also the Genius Society, the Herta Space Station, Screwllum's Planet, and all inorganic life."
Imaginary Collapse Pulse can be provided, because even if they aren't, the company can develop them given enough time. However, the Emanator Creation Technology is different; it's an exclusive ability possessed only by the Star God. If a human could exercise this ability in place of the Star God, the significance would be entirely different.
Phantylia and Diamond faced each other in silence, neither willing to yield their imposing presence.
Finally, Diamond slowly spoke, "We still need to discuss this matter further, but I can promise to go there first and stop the fighting between the two sides."
The enormous profits were not something he could easily give up.
"That would be great."
Phantylia laughed.
However, his gaze began to turn somewhat hostile, his lips curled up but his molars were clenched tightly.
She comes here to do only three things.
Protect Ji Yuan, protect Ji Yuan, and protect Ji Yuan again.
It's not just about protecting Ji Yuan's safety, but also his interests.
She picked up her coffee and slowly sipped it. Meanwhile, Diamond, sitting opposite her, coldly ordered the spaceship's pilot to take over.
However, he maintained an elegant expression when facing Phantylia.
"It was my fault for not preparing tea this time. Miss Phantylia, what kind of tea do you like? I will send you some as an apology after this matter is over."
"What kind of tea? I have no idea. Hmm, wait a moment, I'll tell you later."
Phantylia waved his hand and said.
Upon hearing her say that, Diamond couldn't help but facepalm.
Phantylia's meaning was quite clear: she wanted to see Ji Yuan and hear his opinion.
What kind of charm does that little guy on the Xianzhou possess that has transformed a once terrifying Lord of Destruction into this love-struck fool?
He simply couldn't imagine just how strong that person was.
Diamond and Phantylia stared at each other as the spaceship rapidly advanced towards Ji Yuan.
Outer space of Jarilo -VI.
With Aventurine and Topaz surrendering, all the ships simultaneously shut down their firepower systems and disengaged from the encirclement, lining up neatly in the star system, ready to return to the company with Topaz and the others after Ji Yuan and Aventurine finished their discussion.
Ji Yuan and the others planned to return to Belobog first.
As a prisoner of war, Aventurine was tied up and held captive by Sushang.
A bitter smile involuntarily appeared on his lips.
He said to Sushang, "Um, could you relax me a little?"
Are you trying to run away?
Sushang looked at him with a suspicious gaze.
"No, it's just that I feel like my internal organs are about to be squeezed out." Aventurine's bitter smile deepened.
This girl looked like an ordinary young woman, but her strength was astonishing. She was also angry earlier, so she tightened her grip on the Aventurine. It was only because Sha Jin had some strength that Sushang was able to break the rope.
She must be Ji Yuan's sister; her methods of torture are no less severe than her brother's.
"Oh oh..."
Sushang realized she had gone too far and quickly eased the pressure on the Aventurine.
Those watching from the sidelines couldn't help but smile.
The war was won, so the atmosphere was very relaxed.
However, Ratio and Topaz, who were following along, couldn't help but smile.
"So, what will happen to you when you get back?"
As they returned, Ji Yuan asked Topaz.
Ji Yuan didn't harbor much hatred towards her.
