Xiao Yu never thought that he would actually get hurt.
His mouth was full of blood, and he even spat out a few broken teeth. With the constitution of a Star Warrior Master, such a situation should not have occurred. What was more miraculous was that when he was struck by a blow almost more powerful than the kinetic force of an electromagnetic cannon and smashed into the ground, the ground did not show any noticeable damage, which obviously was not an ordinary material.
At this mont, Xiao Yu wasn't considering why the ground was unscathed. He raised his head and looked at Bai Zhongqi, his eyes full of ruthlessness.
However, this ruthless expression only lasted for a second before his face suddenly changed.
This was an expression all too familiar. More than twenty years ago, when Bai Zhongqi had first boarded the Sacred Falcon, and was provoked by Xiao Yu, and when all the ship's AIs had co out to salute Bai Zhongqi, Xiao Yu had the sa expression.
Subservient, humble, obsequious, and shaless.
"Chancellor, my Chancellor, please forgive . I, Xiao Yu, indeed am unworthy of my position, and it was rely a mont of bewildernt that led to such foolish actions. The true Chancellor of Iridium Star, the Chancellor of the Star Alliance is you, my master. Please accept my repentance. I am willing to serve you loyally for eternity, to be at your beck and call, to do the most nial tasks, and to brave life and death for you."
Changes sotis happen that quickly.
Or perhaps calling it a change of face seems more fitting.
The transformation in Xiao Yu even stunned the onlooking Zero and Xu Lanzhou. This man, who had sat on the throne of Star Alliance Chancellor for eighteen years and was known for his authority and malice, was now, in a position of absolute disadvantage, still shaless. When he realized that he couldn't shake Bai Zhongqi even with brute force, he imdiately shrank back and begged on his knees for rcy.
His cowering figure on the ground was particularly contemptible, his expression reminiscent of a beggar on the street, cautiously hoping for the great personages to leave him so food to eat.
Zero wanted to speak, but when she saw that Bai Zhongqi's expression was unchanged from beginning to end, with even his gaze remaining firm, she breathed a sigh of relief.
"After all, the Chancellor really has changed, or rather, has grown up."
Bai Zhongqi didn't speak and simply continued to watch Xiao Yu.
Xiao Yu looked particularly wretched, continuously oozing fresh blood from his mouth, groveling on the ground, knocking his head on the floor, and begging like a little dog.
Bai Zhongqi finally spoke, asking Xiao Yu, "Do you think you can live?"
Xiao Yu made an expression of extre fear and pleaded, "Your Majesty, have rcy, please have rcy. You have a broad and kind heart. I am but an insignificant bug, easily spared by the simple relaxation of your fingertips. And I am still a Star Warrior Master, my combat power is entirely at your disposal. Also, I have been safeguarding the Supre Command for you for a long ti; I will now hand it over to you."
Bai Zhongqi's expression was cold, and he shook his head, saying, "Why aren't you the sa boastful person from eighteen years ago who threw into the Void?"
Xiao Yu hastily said, "Your Majesty, you misunderstand. What you don't know is that at that ti, I was under the influence of a Controller, and my mind was clouded by confusion. Only upon seeing you now do I realize my mistake. All of this has been a sche of the Controllers."
Bai Zhongqi asked indifferently, "Am I to believe that?"
Just then, an unexpected event occurred.
A light shadow suddenly appeared out of nowhere on Xu Lanzhou, who stood to one side. This light shadow was a Light Sphere, but beneath the sphere dangled several flashing tendrils.
Zero's complexion changed drastically, "Controller?"
Bai Zhongqi glanced briefly at Xu Lanzhou and the Controller without saying a word, her deanor remaining exceptionally calm.
Just as she was about to act, Xu Lanzhou spoke, "Miss Zero, hold off on killing . Right now, our goals are the sa—to kill Xiao Yu in vengeance. I didn't want to join this commotion, but since Xiao Yu has shifted the bla onto , I might as well co out and clear my na."
Xiao Yu looked at the ball of light, his face having turned deathly pale, his mouth moving but unable to speak.
Xu Lanzhou's expression beca curious, and the Controller controlling her inquired through her voice, "Chancellor Bai Zhongqi of Iridium Star, you seem not at all surprised by my arrival. Have you discovered my presence already?"
Bai Zhongqi nodded slightly, "I was thinking if you were planning to stay in Lanzhou's body for a lifeti."
The Controller laughed, saying, "That ti you kissed Xu Lanzhou, you were actually confirming my presence inside her, right?"
"Lanzhou has twenty personalities, and I can sense that her soul suffers from fragntation. However, I perceived the existence of a twenty-first soul fragnt, identical in texture to Lanzhou's soul. I have been watching and waiting for your appearance. That kiss was simply a little trick to confirm your presence."
The Controller comnded, "You are indeed worthy of being from the Elder Race, existing before the birth of the universe, able to wield the mighty power of causality, the saints of the precursor civilization. In your presence, it seems I'm the one who's fallen behind. Yes, I have been lurking in Xu Lanzhou's body for the past eighteen years, and it was I who stimulated the ergence of her other personalities, and I supported Xu Shisan in becoming the controller of her body. However, Xu Lanzhou breaking free was sowhat unexpected for . Was that your doing?"
Bai Zhongqi smiled and said, "All of that is no longer worth discussing. The at is already on the cutting board, and since you say you have the sa goal as , you're an ally. But right now, you're hijacking my knight, which is a rather unfriendly move."
The Controller replied, "Don't worry. Having coexisted with Xu Lanzhou for so many years, harming her is out of the question. In fact, to so extent, I have also beco one of her split personalities."
Bai Zhongqi nodded, "First, let thank you. If it weren't for you, Lanzhou and Jiaxue might have been in danger back then."
The Controller laughed, "You and I were once enemies, but you're a respectable one. Losing to you is no sha. But Xiao Yu, that's a different story."
Her gaze turned coldly towards Xiao Yu, "Pretending to be close to , deceiving into thinking we could collaborate from within and without to eliminate Chancellor Bai, only to set up later and even eventually cut down all the Controllers. The collective consciousness of the Controllers eventually beca a solitary consciousness, for I am now the only Controller left in this world. I transford into Shenaita, and taking Xu Lanzhou and Han Jiaxue with , I fled to prevent you from succeeding, but Chancellor Bai's return seems to have given an opportunity for revenge."
At that mont, Xiao Yu had already stood up from the ground because he knew that no longer how he pretended, it would make no difference. Even if Bai Zhongqi didn't kill him, Shenaita would.
The Controller turned to Bai Zhongqi and asked, "This request may be a bit excessive, but may I ask, Your Excellency Chancellor, to let fight Xiao Yu?"
Bai Zhongqi shook his head, "That's not possible. Your soul has now homogenized with Xu Lanzhou's. If you are injured, she will be as well. That's probably your self-preservation tactic, isn't it? Very effective. It may not guarantee freedom, but at least it ensures you can live on."
It was then that Xiao Yu suddenly used Instant Flash, striking at Bai Zhongqi with the ferocity of a venomous snake.
How could Bai Zhongqi truly ignore a Star Warrior master at his side? His mouth curved slightly and a black wall rose in front of him. The attacking Xiao Yu almost had a heart attack and forcefully stopped his own punch in mid-strike.
This was a miniature Void Gate.
If Xiao Yu's hand had gone through it, he would have lost his hand.
But Bai Zhongqi, as if nothing had happened, passed through the Void Gate and again stood in front of Xiao Yu, his fist thundering out. The force, magnified countless tis, punched a hole right through Xiao Yu's stomach.
Even as a Star Warrior master, Xiao Yu's heart was never in comprehending the laws of the universe and its principles through Star Energy, which is why he might be the weakest Star Warrior master in combat.
Xiao Yu, severely injured, convulsed on the ground. He quickly directed his organs to act and stopped the bleeding. He accelerated his body's healing process.
The Controller, with Xu Lanzhou in tow, approached Bai Zhongqi and said, "At least let consu his soul. Otherwise, this revenge is no fun at all. I promise you, once this is done, I will leave Xu Lanzhou's body and help her separate all the other personalities within."
Bai Zhongqi nodded and looked down at Xiao Yu, saying, "Go ahead, let throw a few more punches to vent. The body of a Star Warrior master is remarkable. Even if the brain is smashed to pieces, as long as the cells are largely intact, the person isn't dead."
At last, Xiao Yu exploded in anger, "Bai Zhongqi, you treacherous bastard, if you want to kill , just do it. Don't think you can humiliate !"
Bai Zhongqi looked at him and asked, "Is it because I killed Gang Naj?"
Xiao Yu suddenly froze, staring at him in disbelief, "You... it was really you?"
Bai Zhongqi indifferently said, "Who do you think established the United Empire of Iridium Star? Who do you think created the Supre Command?"
Xiao Yu had never truly considered Bai Zhongqi to be the killer of his Xiao Family's ancestor, but when Bai Zhongqi admitted it, Xiao Yu was engulfed in fear. Just like the earliest Bai Zhongqi, he was undefeatable on Iridium Star. To be slain by him, there was simply no chance of resistance.
Gang Naj had no power, and Xiao Yu was no different now.
Xiao Yu tried one last act of defiance, "You can't kill . If you do, I'll imdiately command all the machinery and equipnt of the Star Alliance to self-destruct. Every extant planet of the Star Alliance will be destroyed!"
Bai Zhongqi let out a small derisive laugh, his movents so blur that his hand pierced Xiao Yu's skull with two fingers, pulling out sothing small and indistinct.
And crushed it.
Bai Zhongqi couldn't use two Supre Commands at the sa ti. He was going to reboot the First Universe and naturally would use the "old ga save." Hence, the "new ga save" was no longer of any value. He could cast Earth and other planets into the First Universe, then connect the original second Supre Command with the first one.
Xiao Yu's head felt icy cold as he looked at Bai Zhongqi's bloody hand, unable to even perceive despair.
Shenaita's tentacles quickly plunged into Xiao Yu's body, pulling out his soul. Having not savored a soul for over a decade, Shenaita found the soul of Xiao Yu delicious beyond compare and consud it with a sense of imnse relief.
