Chapter 1358 - 1103 Tell Me Your Secret

Long Yi tore through space and arrived at the periphery of the Golden Battleship!

"Let’s go," Turun snorted coldly, and immediately activated the teleportation device. The Golden Battleship also tore through space and vanished. The battleships that had been orbiting around the Golden Battleship and Black Star were left without their biggest support and were destroyed by the Nightmare Knights in a blink, while some of the less powerful Divine Worms were brought directly before Long Yi.

Long Yi had already obtained information about the origins of these Divine Worms from Ika. He directly used the Divine Edict to make those worms start devouring each other, after which he used the Divine Edict to check the memories of the last remaining Divine Worm. Clearly, it didn’t contain much of value.

Therefore, those worms could only feed the snakes.

The Snakes were already impatient.

The previous interaction with Ika was undoubtedly a show arranged by Long Yi, aimed at solidifying Ika’s position among all the Divine Worms, while Long Yi further strengthened Ika’s power. Long Yi believed that after this incident, Ika would have a pivotal role within the Divine Worms.

With Ika by Simu’s side and Little Zi by Turun’s, there were now people of Long Yi’s inside the Divine Worms. Opening the star chart, Long Yi immediately found their new location. The distance between them was vast, but Long Yi did not believe that this was their final destination. They knew very well that Long Yi could track their teleportation, so they would surely teleport multiple times to disrupt Long Yi’s tracking. Pity that they didn’t realize there was no need for Long Yi to track them at all, since Long Yi had his people on both sides.

Whitestar then appeared, collecting and analyzing all the scattered wreckage, and Long Yi once again harvested a batch of Leviathan Worms. In fact, Long Yi had originally planned to enter Black Star and take out all the Leviathan Worms, but it was clear that even if Simu did not need them, he would not hand them over to Long Yi.

This prodigal woman.

Long Yi cursed inwardly, and then returned to Whitestar.

"Why did you leave them alive when you clearly had the chance to wipe them out?" Isrile asked Long Yi while watching the Nightmare Knights clean up the battlefield.

"Of course, the same as yours," Long Yi said.

"As stupid as her?" Ruosha asked offhandedly.

"Who are you calling stupid, you flat-chested little girl!" Isrile raised her fist, ready to strike.

"It’s like you, setting up a big net and waiting for all the Divine Worms to walk into the trap, then catching them all in one go," Ai Lin said.

"These Divine Worms are cunning, will they be fooled?" Silverlight asked Ai Lin.

"Think about it, under my threat, these worms were planning to devour each other deep down, and now they have been forced to unite. Just now, they found out that there seems to be a way to counteract me," Long Yi said with a smile.

"Then, they will naturally unite even more and seek shelter," Ruosha said.

"But how can we ensure that as many Divine Worms as possible are killed? After all, they won’t just wait to die," Isrile still couldn’t understand. This time, it wasn’t just Isrile; all the girls were looking at Long Yi.

"It all depends on how good Ika’s acting is," Long Yi said.

"I think I need an explanation, Ika."

Sitting there with dignity, Simu’s eyes were incredibly radiant with red light. In the secret chamber of Black Star, Ika was sitting there, but that was just armor. Its helmet had been removed and was entangled with mysterious runes. It was evident that Ika was in great pain at this moment.

"Heh, I really didn’t expect that this is how you would treat your savior," Ika said in pain.

"Don’t play pretend, Ika. If you hadn’t acted back then, you would have had no other way out but death, and what you did was just to save yourself. Moreover, you didn’t just save yourself, you have just forcefully taken nearly a thousand times more power from Long Yi. Now your strength is almost on par with mine," Simu said.

"But no matter what, I saved you! I saved all of us!" Ika shouted.

"Yes, I’ve noticed. You have a way to counteract Long Yi. That’s why I hope you can contribute this method, share it with all of us, so that I no longer fear Long Yi, wouldn’t that be better?" Simu said with a smile.

"Heh heh heh heh, hahaha, you foolish thing. If it were that easy, wouldn’t I have gone to deal with Long Yi a long time ago? Hahaha!" Ika laughed out loud.

"Whether it’s easy or not, you might as well tell me, and I’ll think of a way," Simu was patient now, since Long Yi’s threat was not present there.

"Or maybe I’ll hold out a little longer, waiting for the moment when Long Yi comes looking for me again, and you beg me to save you," Ika sneered dismissively before struggling again and saying, "By the way, I advise you to reinforce this torture Array because I’m about to break free."

Simu’s expression changed. In fact, the torture Array she had set up for Ika was already at its strongest power. Could he still free himself even so? Had Ika become more powerful than her?

"No, I don’t believe it!" Simu thought it was Ika bluffing her. She immediately upgraded the level of the Array again, and the red glow in Ika’s eyes suddenly flickered, indicating that he was suffering immense torment!

"This is my secret. You will never, never know it!" Ika was even starting to lose his clarity of mind. Then, he lost consciousness.

Damn it!

Simu cursed silently, she really wanted to know Ika’s secret, but the Mental Impact she had unleashed was too severe.

After Ika had successfully repelled Long Yi, he immediately fell into a coma, which allowed Simu to take the opportunity to trap him. If it had been just Ika’s former strength, he probably would have inadvertently spilled all his secrets, but now his power was too great. Even though she controlled him while he was unconscious, taking hold of his consciousness proved difficult!

This won’t do, it won’t do at all!

While Simu racked her brain trying to extract Ika’s secret, a golden battleship silently appeared next to Black Star.

"Simu, do you have any good news to share with me?" Turun’s voice came through, and Simu’s brow furrowed even tighter. Turun had already seen what had happened, and he would certainly not let this opportunity slip by.

Run away now? Obviously, it wouldn’t be that easy on her own to extract information from Ika’s mouth.

After pondering for a moment, Simu said, "Ika has mastered a method that can affect Long Yi. It can even steal away the Divine Worms from Long Yi that he had swallowed! But I can’t get any useful information out of him. Your timing is perfect, we need to join forces to extract the useful information from him!"

Turun was taken aback at Simu’s response, and then he instantly understood. Simu clearly had no other options left. If she had even a glimmer of hope, she would never have asked him for help!

"In that case, I shall graciously comply with your request!"

Turun immediately teleported himself onto Black Star, and one of Little Zi’s Avatars, also tracking Turun’s movements, had to respond in kind here. Knowing that Ika was one of Long Yi’s, Little Zi had to make a move. The Avatar concealed its presence and tracked Turun to the chamber where Ika was imprisoned.

By the time Simu and Turun had met, and upon seeing Ika, Turun’s red glow began to tremble. Because that not only meant they could challenge Long Yi, but it also implied they could become even stronger!

"He has absorbed too many Worms, and his power is strong. I can’t pry open his thoughts alone, but if we join forces, it should be no problem," Simu said.

"Hahaha, then what are we waiting for!" Turun was already eager to start.

When two Divine Worms with immense strength joined forces, their power was undeniably massive. The current Ika had already lost consciousness, presenting no resistance, and their combined efforts easily broke through Ika’s defenses. As soon as the defenses were breached, Turun instinctively began to devour Ika’s power but was blocked by the force from Simu.

"Getting the information on how to confront Long Yi is the priority. Don’t complicate things!" Simu said in a low voice.

Turun sneered and ceased devouring the power, instead beginning to examine Ika’s memory. Being Divine Worms themselves, they were inherently capable of diving deep into consciousness, so parsing through memories was naturally straightforward. Soon, they found the memory of the first time Ika had successfully drawn power from Long Yi.

It was in the cosmos, where before Long Yi, there was a huge aggregation of the Eternal substance. Then, he opened those Eternals, allowing God Eaters to devour the Divine Worms emerging from them. However, God Eaters had a limited rate of devouring, and were not very effective. Soon, Long Yi started feeling the influence of those Divine Worms, despite the God Eaters’ relentless protection, but Long Yi’s thoughts seemed to slowly turn chaotic. Seeing Long Yi’s confusion, the Divine Worms launched an even more desperate attack. After all, in this lifeless cosmos, they had no choice but to parasitize Long Yi.

Nevertheless, a God Eater is a God Eater, and ultimately Long Yi wasn’t parasitized by any of the Divine Worms. Yet, the influential forces released by the Divine Worms induced a dazed state in Long Yi, during which even the God Eaters lost their urge to attack.

At that moment, Ika mustered up the courage to approach Long Yi secretly, and came very close without Long Yi reacting, the God Eaters seemingly oblivious to it.

Ika discovered loopholes in Long Yi’s train of thought and, capitalizing on the sensitivity of a Divine Worm, he immediately implanted a special trigger suggestion in Long Yi. Subsequently, Ika tried to extract the power of the Divine Worms from Long Yi’s body, and to his surprise, he succeeded! The power of the Divine Worms previously devoured by the God Eaters transferred to Ika!

But just then, Long Yi suddenly woke up, and Ika released a massive Mental Impact. Having already placed a triggering mechanism within Long Yi’s mind, Long Yi was immediately affected, while Ika turned and fled. He continued to teleport until he returned to his own ship, and then the ship teleported away.

Lastly, the memory about Ika was a summary of this event.

To bring Long Yi into that state, the best course would be to make Long Yi’s God Eaters devour as many Divine Worms as possible in a short period. Such that when Long Yi, filled with the power of the Divine Worms, would be extremely sensitive to the pre-set triggers, allowing the effects to last for an extended duration. When Ika encountered Long Yi for the second time, the effect of the trigger mechanism was less pronounced than the first time, because Ika had already absorbed much of the Divine Worms’ strength within Long Yi, thus weakening the effect.
