Chapter 1674: Fishing Leviathan as a Salted Fish
At this moment, the boundless universe turned into a deep pool of sparkling light, and the light of the stars shone in the deep space, just like the occasional ripple on the surface of the lake.
As for the giant ship hovering in the void of the universe, it may be just a lone boat in the starry sky.
As the camera zoomed out, everyone could clearly see that the Supreme Emperor of the Galaxy Empire, who was dressed like an old fisherman, was sitting in this lonely boat, twisting a mediocre rod with his hand. Strange fishing rod.
Of course, the fishing line cannot be seen, but it should have penetrated hundreds of millions 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 sits on, it is just a piece of horse that he has been lucky enough to pass by occasionally, right?
It has to be said that the empire who is live broadcasting this scene actually understands the language of the camera very well. At least it makes the emperor's aura look like a god... Although his current state is indeed worthy of being called a god. .
Yu Lian wanted to ask the professionals next to him, but Feifei had already muttered: "It's full of craftsmanship, but it's completely enough for commercial films and promotional documentaries."
Of course Yu Lian still believed Yagomi's words about being the best director.
In short, because this scene was so subversive to normal people's imagination, the camera was so crowded that the headquarters was completely silent for a while. Yu Lian can be sure that all the hundreds of millions of people watching this scene should also be stunned.
"Is he really fishing?" Yu Lian heard a voice saying.
Well, this scene was too shocking, so everyone’s attitude came into being.
Yu Lian had nothing to say for a while, and he didn't even know what expression he should make. In fact, he has always felt that the master and his old man built a dojo in the virtual world to raise turtles and birds to play the real version of Minecraft, which was the most stylish pretense he had ever seen.
However, in front of Emperor Eliasel, he was suddenly several dimensions behind.
What setting is this? Let’s not talk about the strength of the so-called Nine Rings bosses, whether they are godly or not, and whether they are powerful or not are not among the first considerations.
The concept that everyone must understand first must be at a pretentious level, right?
Although Yu Lian's heart was full of shit, he still couldn't help but be fascinated and filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred.
"A true man should be like this!" Yu Lian couldn't help but sigh in a low voice.
"What is it?" Feifei asked.
"Of course it's this kind of otherworldly pretense. I always feel that as long as I can pretend like this once in my life, my whole life will be really worth it." Yu Lian looked like he was sitting upright.
Feifei pursed her lips and smiled: "I'll just treat it like this."
Admiral Sylvester may have heard the conversation between the two, but he may not have heard anything and only had some understanding. He glanced at the two of them thoughtfully, then looked away with a strange expression.
However, for the emperor, he was not done pretending yet.
Emperor Elithel, known as the strongest man in the galaxy and ruling half of the universe, had a vibrant smile on his lips. He stared at the invisible fishing line, his brows filled with joy, like a child who had picked up beautiful pebbles, and made a joyful sound, like a child who had picked up colorful pebbles from the river.
"Hey! Okay! I caught the fish!"
What did you hit? Yu Lianxin thought that if we were not separated by tens of thousands of light-years, and we really couldn't beat him, I would have to give him a slap in the face.
Then again, he was obviously sitting in the void, how did he get through these words? Is it really unscientific to have psychic powers to eliminate everything around you?
Of course His Majesty the Emperor, who turned into a fisherman, couldn't hear Yu Lian's slander, and he probably wouldn't care even if he heard it. At this time, he was already holding the fishing rod and starting to lift it. The ordinary fishing rod couldn't bear the strength for a while and suddenly bent. From a visual inspection, the other end of the fishing line should be pulling a large fish weighing several dozen kilograms. Enough for a fisherman to brag about his catch for a lifetime
Of course... it's also possible that there's nothing there, and that he bent the fishing rod deliberately with skill. Anyway, Yu Lian has heard of this kind of mysterious gameplay before, it is not new at all.
Unknowingly, spiritual energy had condensed and covered his eyes, turning into vision that far exceeded the upper limit of mammals. Of course 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 believes that all the psychics in the universe who are watching this will definitely do the same.
Not only that, he even opened the "Eye of the Stars" which is an advanced level of "Cosmic Perception". This is of course the ability Yu Lian unleashed when he reached the seventh ring of "Stargazer".
As the name suggests, once this state is activated, the stars will become eyes, which is a large-scale wide-area detection skill. Of course, it still consumes a bit of mana. Even if he is a member of the Spiritual Research Society, which is famous for its extremely long blue bars, and even if Yu Lian himself is already a master of the Seventh Ring, it is still quite difficult to use it for a long time.
However, he couldn't help but open it.
Again, all psykers will definitely do this.
Feifei magically took out the tea tray and various tea sets, first poured a cup of tea for Admiral Sylvester and Yu Lian, and then started to taste it herself.
Yu Lian felt that he had indeed overreacted, as he was clearly intimidated by the emperor's aura. He smiled sarcastically, and the psychic energy in his eyes did not dissipate, but the "Eye of the Stars" was still released.
At this time, on the screen, on the fishing rod in the emperor's hand, the fishing line made of light had appeared. As expected, it had penetrated into the starry sky countless billions of kilometers away.
"Sir, can you see it?" Yu Lian asked.
Admiral Sylvester was startled: "What did you see?"
"Fishing line."
The old senior's expression became even more puzzled: "I only saw the fishing rod. Well, it should be the Xianshi 12 of Feifei Company. This is a very popular fishing rod."
You are also an experienced fisherman!
"Uh, I mean, isn't your Majesty pulling the empty rod?" Can't non-psionic people see that light? This is scarier than anyone can see! Yu Lian frowned.
Immediately afterwards, he clearly saw that the fishing line made of light was constantly being retracted and shortened. At the other end of the fishing line, the first thing everyone saw was a blurry shadow that seemed to have completely obscured the surrounding area. Faint starlight. However, as He gets closer, you can gradually see the majestic but clear outline. At first glance, it looks like a flat and thick oval-shaped head, as well as a slender body and tail, which vaguely appear to be an irregular hammer shape.
However, just from the current size, Yu Lian could be absolutely sure that the size of that thing was far larger than the battleship the emperor was sitting on.
...No, it's much more than that.
If the giant thing being dragged over is a large hammer that can only be used by swinging it with both hands, the imperial ship next to it is just a withered yellow grass clipping.
There is no way, who told the battleship full of royal models to be painted in a cool golden yellow? If her color were normal, Yu Lian would think it was fresh grass clippings.
As for the emperor himself, he was probably just a paramecium invisible to the naked eye on the grass clippings.
That black shadow is an interstellar Leviathan, the kind of giant beast that can bring havoc to an entire galaxy.
However, under the control of the almost invisible emperor, the top-level Leviathan walking among the stars seemed to have been captured by a real natural enemy.
The huge shadow that formed his body continued to struggle hard and let out a silent wail, really like a big fish being pulled out of the water.
This is probably because the emperor's entourage used lighting. In short, when the giant beast's struggle began to slow down, its entire body gradually became visible to the camera.
The oval-shaped head was pulled by the light, and the rock-like armor wrapping the body tissue twitched painfully like lips. The long body under the head was also pulled open, revealing a large group of thick and powerful tentacles. Wrapped in this mass of tentacles, it looks like a slender and sharp cone-shaped body part, like a long needle.
It was a Void Star Widow. It was thought that it always moved alone, and its appearance had many characteristics of a fish, so it got its name.
It is also an interstellar Leviathan that feeds on the energetic gases of the gas giants, and occasionally hunts passing space crystals and amoeba swarms.
Generally speaking, carbon-based organisms and artificial creations are not on his food chain, but due to his violent temper and strong sense of territoriality, he will attack all fleets that arrive in the galaxy where he lives. Or maybe other Leviathans are regarded as enemies that must be eliminated, and once the fight begins, they will never stop.
There was a tragedy in history where an entire immigrant fleet was wiped out by an adult Void Star widower. Of course, there have been cases where great powers used well-armed fleets to encircle and suppress this Leviathan. Although they were ultimately successful, they also suffered heavy losses.
When Yu Lian was working as a mercenary in the Alliance in his previous life, he also participated in the annihilation of the Void Star Widows. That behemoth is entrenched in a galaxy outside the main channel on the edge of the Fermor Nebula, and has lived there peacefully for thousands of years.
However, as the strategic buffer areas of the two overlords become less and less, there are also fewer and fewer third-party galaxies in the Fermor Nebula hiding outside the main channel. For the sake of the stability of the development project and the safety of the waterway, the fate of this giant beast was thus doomed.
In Yu Lian's opinion, the true combat effectiveness of this behemoth is at least comparable to that of a large guard fleet with a battle cruiser and an aircraft carrier as its core. It is even said that if the commander does not command well and is not prepared for combat, it may even overturn.
Anyway, in the "original" encirclement and suppression battle, the Alliance fleet really almost overturned. Even the aircraft carrier that served as the flagship was completely taken out by the Star Widow with hundreds or thousands of huge tentacles, and a very tragic and extreme cold was played on the battleship.
What a hard fight! Yu Lian still has some lingering fears when he recalls it now, but his blood is also aroused. After all, in that timeline, I only became a fifth-level psyker after defeating the Leviathan beast, which was considered the threshold for entering a high-level psyker.
However, in that timeline, my teammates included an aircraft carrier, a battle cruiser, and forty-two battleships of various types, more than 100,000 elite sailors and stormtroopers armed to the teeth, and four guerrillas. Warrior plus three other wild psykers. Even so, more than 30% of the people died in the battle.
Even if it is due to the incompetence of the commander, the ferocity of the Void Star Widow can still be seen.
In comparison, both Dome Whale and Tiyan Kai are clearly herbivores harmless to humans and animals - of course this is indeed the case.
However, does a space predator living at the top of the food chain look like a salted fish pulled ashore in front of the emperor?
There was silence once again.
Most people don't know the origin of that space beast, but at least they can feel the pressure from a higher level in the food chain from its size.
Yu Lian watched as the camera zoomed in from a distance, and the panoramic view of the struggling giant beast once again fell on the emperor's face. He felt numb all over his body, and there was a chill running down his back.
The power of the Nine Rings, the power of the True God, is truly terrifying!
Yu Lian subconsciously looked at Feifei, but saw the girl bringing tea to him again.
She comforted her with words, "Don't underestimate yourself. With Yu'er's current strength, we can kill an adult star widower of this size if we stand shoulder to shoulder. This kind of adult Leviathan, although it gallops across the star sea, has obvious weaknesses. Not more powerful than most virtual realm lords.”
"I agree. In fact, he should be much easier to deal with than most virtual lords. But...can we use a fishing line to pull it over?"
"This...should not be possible. Even if it reaches the ninth ring, it won't work. After all, the star ring is not for brute force."
Speaking of which, Yu Lian really forgot to ask Feifei which type of star ring it was, to see if his rich experience in his previous life could be of some help, but this was not the time to consider such a thing.
Facing the painting, the giant beast as the background has completely stopped struggling. Even from tens of thousands of light years away, Yu Lian could see that the space Leviathan, which had existed for countless thousands of years, was losing its vitality.
The emperor really just seemed to have caught a big fish. He clapped his hands naturally and still had an innocent smile like a child on his face. He turned around and said: "This big fish has been lingering in this galaxy for hundreds of years." . This place was not under the control of the empire, and I didn’t bother to clean it, but now that it has other uses, I have no choice but to deal with it.”
Yu Lian heard it a bit harsh. Looking at the lifeless giant, not only did my spine feel chilly, but even my little heart felt a little chilly.
