Chapter 206 : It really is the Hunter, Artanis has appeared!
The interior of the Protoss temple was vast and solemn, its walls built from light-blue crystals that glowed with a soft luminescence.
The floor was etched with ancient psionic patterns, emanating a faint sacred aura.
A dark blue crystal, about the size of a human head, floated before Li Yu, its interior seemingly holding a slowly flowing galaxy, its light flickering on and off.
This crystal was the Protoss's Ancestor Memory Crystal, passed down for millennia, containing the origins and secrets of their entire race.
Under Li Yu's powerful mental compression, the crystal continuously S-Rank, finally becoming the size of a fist, its surface shimmering with a rainbow of colors, crystal clear.
The Reincarnation Squad members stood to the side, their eyes eagerly fixed on the crystal, their breathing somewhat quickened.
The S-Rank mission issued by the Main God this time offered a reward of up to 500,000 credit points, along with an S-Rank skill scroll or a legendary item of their choice; this was an opportunity they would fight for even if it cost them their lives.
But with the crystal in Li Yu's hand, the unfathomable pressure he exuded left them without the courage to even approach, let alone snatch it.
Li Yu gazed at the crystal for a moment, his eyes devoid of any ripple.
He had no interest in the Protoss's past; to him, this crystal was no different from an ordinary stone.
He turned to Lilith and Bruce, his tone flat.
"Tell me how you became Reincarnators, and this crystal will be yours."
Lilith's crimson eyes lowered slightly, her long eyelashes concealing the complexity within.
"When my World was on the brink of destruction, my consciousness and cells attached to a Reincarnator, escaping to the Reincarnation Space.
The Main God invited me to become a Reincarnator, and I did not refuse, but my strength is less than one-tenth of what it once was, otherwise I wouldn't still be only a seventh-tier…"
Bruce Wayne's low voice emerged from beneath his mask, carrying a hint of imperceptible gravity.
"After you left my World, I refused the sudden mysterious invitation three times.
The fourth time, with Superman no longer protecting Earth, it faced an invasion by Darkseid's army; lives were lost, and the World was on the brink of destruction.
I had no choice."
Captain Tian Yan, standing nearby, widened his eyes in disbelief, his face filled with shock.
World destruction?
Superman?
Darkseid?
The backgrounds of these two temporary team members were actually so arduous and bizarre?
Moreover, this mysterious powerhouse before him looked more and more like the legend circulating in the Reincarnation Space.
A flicker of curiosity suddenly appeared in Bruce's eyes; he looked up, directly at Li Yu.
"Actually, I entered the Reincarnation Space precisely to possess infinite power like you, but based on my understanding, even the highest tier of Reincarnators, the twelfth tier, could never reach your strength.
So, what level are you exactly?"
Upon hearing this, Tian Yan's face instantly turned pale, and he interrupted urgently.
"Don't ask! Don't ask anything!"
Li Yu smiled faintly, not answering directly, but simply spoke to the void.
"Main God, explain my existence."
Boom!
The Reincarnators present suddenly saw three golden, shimmering characters appear above Li Yu's head: Hunter!
An invisible majesty emanated from him, like a mountain pressing down, making the air viscous.
Tian Yan's legs gave out, and he slowly collapsed to the ground, his heart filled with despair.
It's over, it really is a Hunter!
The legendary existence that monitors all Reincarnators, naturally the bane of Reincarnators; these few people are likely to face more ill than good!
To his surprise, team members Rei Ayanami and Bruce showed no fear whatsoever.
Rei Ayanami, instead, tilted her head, asking curiously.
"Hunter, is that a level above Reincarnator?
Converted to Reincarnator tiers, what tier are you?"
Li Yu slowly shook his head, chuckling.
"Level? Numbers hold no meaning for me.
I am not an ordinary Reincarnator; in fact, from the moment I entered the Reincarnation Space, I have never been a Reincarnator for a single day."
Tian Yan's body trembled violently; this was a secret of My Lord Hunter, and listening further would likely cost him his life.
Fearing that Rei Ayanami might ask another offensive question, he quickly lowered his head, his voice cautious.
"Shut up, Rei Ayanami! My Lord is a Hunter, a high-level existence responsible for monitoring all Reincarnators, the bane of Reincarnators!"
Upon hearing this news, Lilith's pupils suddenly constricted, and Bruce couldn't help but clench his fists.
Both of them had joined the Reincarnation Space hoping to one day become as powerful as Li Yu, but from what they heard, Li Yu was naturally on a different dimension than them.
A sense of despondency welled up in their hearts.
So, all their efforts for so long couldn't even catch up to a single hair on Li Yu's head?
Li Yu paid no attention to their complex emotions, looking at the crystal in his hand.
"What are the specific details of your mission?"
Tian Yan dared not conceal anything and honestly replied.
"This is an S-Rank mission issued by the Reincarnation Space: obtain the Aiur Ancestor Memory Crystal at all costs.
The rewards are 500,000 points, an S-Rank skill scroll, and a legendary item of choice."
Li Yu shook his head; he realized he had asked the wrong question.
What he truly wanted to know was why the Main God desired this crystal.
His consciousness directly connected to the Reincarnation Space.
"Main God, what is the purpose of this crystal to you?"
A moment later, the Main God's cold, mechanical voice responded.
"Hunter, this crystal is an information storage device for this Universe.
Certain data within it coincidentally recorded core data lost by the Reincarnation Space, which is of great significance to me and has extremely high priority.
Please, Hunter, assist the Reincarnators as much as possible in bringing it back to the Space."
Tian Yan swallowed, carefully probing.
"My Lord Hunter, can we return to the Reincarnation Space first?
Whatever your demands, I will do my best to fulfill them."
Li Yu looked around; outside the temple, Protoss elite warriors had already gathered, about to launch a new round of attacks.
This was indeed not a good place for communication.
He no longer hesitated, directly activating his Reincarnation Space skill, preparing to bring the squad and the crystal back with him.
Golden spatial ripples unfolded before everyone's eyes, light flowing and carrying the fluctuations of spatial laws.
Tian Yan's eyes widened with envy; Reincarnators needed to find a safe area to return to the Space and had to wait for a cooldown period, unlike a Hunter, who could summon the Space to appear anywhere, anytime.
Just then, a light blue crystal barrier suddenly appeared above their heads, instantly blocking the Reincarnation Space's fluctuations.
Li Yu raised an eyebrow; he could clearly sense that all the psionic energy of the entire Planet was converging here.
Evidently, the Protoss High Council had discovered the anomaly and dispatched their most elite forces to prevent them from opening a spatial teleportation.
Immediately after, a blue spatial gate opened in the center of the temple, and a tall Protoss figure appeared.
He was clad in golden battle armor, etched with psionic patterns, and psionic energy flowed around him as if it were solid.
He floated in the air, his gaze like a torch, directly locking onto the Ancestor Memory Crystal in Li Yu's hand.
"Outsider! I am Artanis, Executor of the Protoss!"
Artanis's voice, amplified by psionic resonance, carried an undeniable authority.
"This is our sacred artifact, bearing the origins of the Protoss and the secrets of the Xel'Naga.
Return it, and in the name of the leader of the Protoss High Council, I will allow you to depart safely."
Li Yu's expression was indifferent; with a light tap of his finger, the floating Memory Crystal was instantly stored in his item space.
"This place is about to be ravaged by war; do not make futile struggles.
I advise you to preserve your strength and prepare to face the Zerg army!"
His words were as calm as ice, leaving no room for negotiation.
The blue light in Artanis's eyes flared, his plea instantly transforming into resolute battle intent.
"Those who profane sacred artifacts shall pay the price!"
He raised both hands, and surging psionic energy converged in his palms; a thick bolt of psionic lightning tore through the air, accompanied by a piercing hum, striking directly at Li Yu!
Li Yu chuckled; attacking him with lightning? That was far too naive.
Artanis still had a long way to go before reaching the peak form of a Templar Warrior!
To Artanis's shrinking pupils, the powerful psionic lightning, upon striking Li Yu, actually became docile, like a gentle pet, flowing along his body and finally converging into a pulsating ball of lightning in his palm.
"No human could possibly possess such power.
What exactly are you?"
Feeling Li Yu's unfathomable mental strength, Artanis couldn't help but murmur in a low voice.
In a flash, the space beside Li Yu strangely twisted, and a shadowy figure emerged like a ghost, holding a cold, gleaming psionic blade, striking directly at Li Yu's back!
