Him and their stars.

Chapter 1674: Treating Leviathan as a Salted Fish

At this moment, the boundless universe turned into a sparkling deep pool. The light of the stars flickered in the deep space, just like occasional ripples on the surface of the lake.

As for the giant ship hovering in the void of the universe, perhaps it is just a lonely boat in the starry sky.

As the camera zoomed out, everyone could clearly see that the Supreme of the Galactic Empire, dressed like an old fisherman, was sitting in this lonely boat, twisting an ordinary fishing rod in his hand.

Of course, the fishing line is invisible, but it should have penetrated billions of kilometers into the starry sky.

At this moment, the universe is his country and the stars are his palace. As for the huge starship he is sitting on, it is just a stool that he occasionally visits, right?

It has to be said that the Empire, which was broadcasting this scene live, actually understood the language of the camera very well. At least it made the emperor's aura seem like that of a god... although his current state could indeed be described as that of a god.

Yu Lian wanted to ask the professionals nearby, but Feifei had already said in telepathy: "It's quite crafty, but it's more than enough for making commercial films and promotional documentaries."

Of course, Yu Lian still believed what Yagomi said was the best director.

In short, this scene was so beyond the imagination of normal people that the camera was so full that the headquarters was completely silent for a while. Yu Lian was sure that all the hundreds of millions of people watching this scene were also stunned.

"So he is really fishing?" Yu Lian heard a voice muttering.

Well, the scene was too shocking, so everyone had their own attitude.

Yu Lian was speechless for a moment, and he didn't even know what expression he should make. In fact, he always felt that his master's building a temple in the virtual world to raise turtles and birds and play the real-life version of Minecraft was the most stylish pretense he had ever seen.

However, in front of Emperor Elisel, there was a huge gap between them.

What is this setting? It turns out that the so-called nine-ring bosses, regardless of their strength, whether they are gods or not, and whether they are powerful or not are not the first consideration.

  The concept that everyone must first understand should be the level of pretending to be cool, right?

Although Yu Lian was shocked, he still couldn't help feeling fascinated, envious, and jealous.

"A real man should be like this!" Yu Lian couldn't help but sigh in a low voice.

"What is Dang Ru?" Feifei asked.

"Of course it's this kind of extraordinary pretense. I always feel that if I can pretend like this once in my life, my life will be really worth it." Yu Lian sat upright with a serious expression.

Feifei pursed her lips and smiled: "I'll just take it as it is."

Admiral Sylvester might have heard the conversation between the two, but he might not have heard anything and just understood something. He looked at the two thoughtfully, then turned his gaze away with a strange expression.

However, for the emperor, he was not done pretending yet.

Emperor Ilesel, who was known as the strongest in the galaxy and ruled half of the universe, had a lively smile on his face. He stared at the invisible fishing line, his eyes filled with joy, like a child who had picked up beautiful pebbles, and made a joyful sound, just like a child who had picked up colorful pebbles from the river.

"Oh! Great! I caught it!"

What happened to you? Yu Lian thought to himself, if it weren't for the fact that we were tens of thousands of light years apart and I couldn't beat him, I would have given him a slap in the face.

  Then again, he was clearly sitting in the void, so how did he get through? Was it really that psychic power swept away all the unscientific things around him?

The emperor, who was in the form of a fisherman, certainly couldn't hear Yu Lian's complaints, and he probably wouldn't care even if he heard them. At this moment, he was already holding the fishing rod and starting to pull it up. The ordinary fishing rod couldn't bear the force for a moment and suddenly bent. It was estimated that at the other end of the fishing line, there should be a large fish weighing dozens of kilograms. It was enough for the fisherman to brag about his harvest for a lifetime.

Of course...it's also possible that there was nothing, and he used his strength to deliberately bend the fishing rod. Anyway, Yu Lian had heard of this kind of mysterious play, and it was not new at all.

Unconsciously, psychic energy had gathered and covered his eyes, turning into vision far beyond the upper limit of mammals. Yu Lian knew that whether he could see clearly depended on the clarity of the picture in front of him, not his own eyesight. However, he couldn't help but do it. He also believed that all the psychics in the universe who were watching this scene would do the same.

Not only that, he even opened the "Eye of the Stars", the advanced "Cosmic Perception". This was of course the ability that Yu Lian opened when he reached the seventh ring "Stargazer".

As the name implies, once this state is activated, all the stars will become the eyes of the universe, which is a large-scale wide-area detection skill. Of course, it still consumes a bit of mana. Even for the disciples of the Spiritual Research Association, who are famous for their long mana bars, even if Yu Lian himself is already a seven-ring boss, it is still quite strenuous to use it for a long time.

However, he couldn't help but open it.

Again, all psychics would do the same.

Feifei took out a tea tray and various tea sets like a magician, poured a cup of tea for Admiral Sylvester and Yu Lian respectively, and then gulped it down herself.

Yu Lian felt that he had indeed overreacted. He was clearly shocked by the emperor's aura. He smiled awkwardly, and the spiritual energy in his eyes did not dissipate, but the "Eye of the Stars" was still lifted.

At this time, on the screen, on the fishing rod in the emperor's hand, the fishing line made of light had already appeared, and it had indeed penetrated deep into the starry sky billions of kilometers away.

"Sir, can you see it?" Yu Lian asked.

Admiral Sylvester was startled: "What did you see?"

"Fishing line."

The senior student's expression became even more confused: "I only saw a fishing rod. Hmm, it should be the Xianshi 12 from Filev. This is a very popular fishing rod."

  So you are also an experienced fisherman!

"Uh, I mean, isn't Your Majesty pulling the empty lever?" Can't non-psychics see that light? This is more terrifying than everyone can see it! Yu Lian frowned.

Then, he clearly saw that the fishing line made of light was constantly being retracted and shortened, and at the other end of the fishing line, the first thing everyone saw was a blurry shadow, which seemed to have completely blocked out the faint starlight around it. However, as he approached, he gradually saw a huge, yet clear outline. At first glance, it looked like a flat, thick oval head, and a slender body and tail, vaguely presenting an irregular hammer shape.

However, just from the size it has shown so far, Yu Lian can be completely certain that the size of that thing is far larger than the warship the emperor is sitting on.

...No, it's much more than that.

If the giant object being dragged over was a large hammer that had to be swung with both hands, then the imperial ship next to it was just a piece of withered grass.

There was no way, because the battleship, which was full of royal style, also used a flashy golden paint. If her color was more normal, Yu Lian would have thought it was fresh grass clippings.

As for the emperor himself, he was probably just a paramecium on the grass that was invisible to the naked eye.

That black shadow was an interstellar Leviathan, a behemoth that could bring disaster to an entire galaxy.

However, under the control of the almost invisible emperor, the top Leviathan walking among the stars seemed to be taken advantage of by its true natural enemy.

The huge shadow that made up His body kept struggling hard and uttered silent wails, just like a big fish that was pulled out of the water.

This was probably because the emperor's entourage had turned on the lights. Anyway, when the beast's struggles began to slow down, its entire body gradually appeared in the camera's field of view.

The oval head was pulled by the light, and the rock-like armor wrapped around the body tissue twitched painfully like lips. The slender body under the head was also pulled open, revealing a large group of thick and powerful tentacles. Wrapped in this group of tentacles, there seemed to be a thin, sharp, conical body part, like a long needle.

It was a Void Star Widow, which always acted alone and had many fish characteristics in appearance, hence its name.

It is also an interstellar leviathan that feeds on the high-energy gases of gas giants, and occasionally hunts passing space crystals and amoeba swarms.

Generally speaking, carbon-based organisms and artificial creations are not on its food chain, but due to its violent temper and strong sense of territory, it will regard all fleets that arrive at its inhabited galaxy, or other Leviathans, as enemies that must be eliminated, and once a fight begins, it will be a fight to the death.

In history, there have been cases where an adult Void Star Widow wiped out an entire immigrant fleet. Of course, there have also been cases where a major country used a well-armed fleet to encircle and suppress this Leviathan, and although it was ultimately successful, it also suffered heavy losses.

In his previous life, when Yu Lian was a mercenary in the Alliance, he also participated in the extermination of the Void Star Widow. That behemoth was entrenched in a galaxy outside the main channel on the edge of the Femo Nebula, and had lived peacefully for thousands of years.

However, as the strategic buffer zone between the two overlords became smaller and smaller, the number of lawless galaxies in the Fermo Nebula that hid outside the main channel also became smaller and smaller. In order to ensure the stability of the development project and the safety of the channel, the fate of this giant beast was doomed.

In Yu Lian's opinion, the real combat capability of this behemoth is at least comparable to that of a large alert fleet with battlecruisers and aircraft carriers as the core. It can even be said that if the commander fails to command effectively and is not fully prepared, it may even fail.

Anyway, in that encirclement and suppression battle, the Alliance Fleet was almost overturned. The flagship aircraft carrier was completely ripped clean by the Star Widowers with hundreds of huge tentacles, and a very tragic extreme deep cold was played on the battleship.

It was such a tough battle! Yu Lian still felt a little scared when he recalled it now, but his blood was boiling. After all, in that timeline, he became a fifth-ringed psychic only after defeating the Leviathan, which was considered the threshold for entering a high-level psychic.

However, in that timeline, his teammates included an aircraft carrier, a battlecruiser, and 42 warships of various types, more than 100,000 elite crew members and assault troopers armed to the teeth, as well as four guerrillas and three other wild psychics. Even so, more than 30% of them were killed in the battle.

Even if it was due to the commander's incompetence, the ferocity of the Void Star Widow was still evident.

In comparison, both the dome whale and the Ti Yangkai are clearly herbivores that are harmless to humans and animals - of course, this is indeed the case.

  However, this space predator living at the top of the food chain is like a salted fish pulled ashore in front of the emperor?

The scene fell into silence once again.

Most people don’t know the origin of the space monster, but at least they can feel the pressure from a higher level in the food chain from its size.

Yu Lian watched the camera zoom in from afar, and the panoramic view of the still struggling beast fell on the emperor's face again. He felt numb all over and a chill ran down his back.

The power of the Nine Rings and the ability of the true god are indeed so terrifying!

Yu Lian subconsciously looked at Feifei, only to see the girl bringing the tea to him again.

She used telepathy to comfort him, "Don't underestimate yourself. With Yu'er's current strength, if we work together, we can kill an adult star widower of this size. Although this adult Leviathan can roam the sea of ​​stars, it has obvious weaknesses and is not stronger than most virtual realm lords."

"I agree. In fact, He should be much easier to deal with than most virtual lords. But... can we pull it over with a fishing line?"

"This... shouldn't be possible. Even if they reach the ninth ring, it won't work. After all, the Star Ring is not for brute force."

Come to think of it, Yu Lian actually forgot to ask Feifei which model of star ring she had, to see if his rich experience in his previous life could be of some help, but this was not the time to think about such things.

Face to face with the painting, the giant beast that served as the background had completely stopped struggling. Even though it was tens of thousands of light years away, Yu Lian could see that the vitality of this space Leviathan, which had existed for who knows how many tens of thousands of years, was being lost.

The emperor, however, just clapped his hands naturally as if he had caught a big fish, with a childlike innocent smile on his face. He turned around and said, "This big fish has been hovering in this star system for a hundred years. This place was not under the control of the empire, and I was too lazy to clean it up. But since it has other uses, I have no choice but to leave it alone."

Yu Lian felt that it was a bit harsh. Looking at the lifeless giant, not only did he feel a chill down his spine, but even his heart felt a little cold.
