Chapter 298: Su Yu's "Diplomatic Strategy"_2
The skull was even more horrifying, almost reduced to just a skull.
A few scraps of flesh hung on it, and through its eyeless sockets, you could vaguely see the brain inside.
The terrifying appearance alone was bad enough.
The key was this monstrous being's body exuded an aura that was terrifying, deep, brutal, majestic... and so on, all mixed together.
Zhou Qing felt like she had encountered her destined nemesis, unable to muster any thought of resistance, filled only with boundless fear that overwhelmed her soul.
Upon hearing Zhou Qing's scream, the others were startled and quickly turned to look.
And so, they too saw the eerie, terrifying humanoid!
And behind the humanoid, that space black hole!
Suddenly, everyone was stunned.
The next moment, the scream of that Seven-Star Elder echoed throughout the space:
"There's a traitor summoning Mechanical Beasts to attack! It's Seven-Star... no! Eight-Star! Maybe even Nine-Star!"
"Awaken all the Elders, fight to the death!"
"Kill!"
With a mighty roar, a powerful spiritual energy burst from this Elder's body, enveloping the entire hall space.
Everyone around the Elder felt their own power inexplicably enhance by a whole star level under this energy.
War Mechanic! Power of Dominator!
This Elder turned out to be a War Mechanic!
He's now using the Power of Dominator, to dominate this war, enhancing allies and weakening enemies!
Those Extraordinary Mechanics, boosted by the Power of Dominator, immediately released spiritual energy, merging everyone's spiritual energy together!
The combined energy of so many people, with special techniques, was potent enough to rival a Seven-Star, even Eight-Star Transcendent!
Meanwhile, those elders in the ten-plus slumber pods suddenly opened their eyes, pushed open the lids of their pods, pulled out the tubes on their bodies, and sat up!
Each of these elders was at least Seven-Star! Their combined aura was earth-shattering!
The entire hall space shook as if about to collapse!
"Kill!"
In a short time, these people were ready for battle, brewing a formidable attack.
The next moment, they were about to launch at the terrifying monstrous being!
Even Zhou Qing was within the attack range!
They didn't know how Zhou Qing was connected to this terrifying monster, but there was no time for questioning, only to kill!
"This is going to cause big trouble..."
Su Yu muttered to himself.
Indeed, the terrifying monster was Su Yu.
Earlier, when traversing the data turbulence, the streams of data, with their extreme corrosiveness, had eroded him into such a horrifying monster.
At first, he wasn't even aware of it, as all his senses were intensely distorted in the data turbulence.
Even his own state was difficult to grasp.
Only after seeing everyone's reaction did he use spiritual power to take a look at himself, and was taken aback.
"I didn't expect the data turbulence to erode me so severely and terrify everyone."
In fact, it was only superficial damage, not affecting his essence.
It was like playing a virtual game where the game character's model texture didn't load properly, making it look ghostly, but not impacting the character's abilities.
But the look was too frightening.
Mostly because Su Yu's armor and body were damaged, causing his aura to leak.
The auras of Brutal Evil God, Fear Intelligence, Ghost Hidden Blade, Power of Heavenly Punishment... all sorts of terrifying auras were pouring out.
Even with a slight leak, it almost scared Zhou Qing into passing out.
The others were so terrified they wanted to fight desperately.
"Originally, I intended to infiltrate as an undercover agent, but I got discovered from the start, such bad luck."
"In theory, I'm here representing the Mechanical City for diplomatic alliance, but with a brawl right on the first meeting, it's all messed up."
"I need to come up with an idea..."
Su Yu quickly thought.
Once the fight breaks out, and causes a commotion, if the location is truly exposed, the enmity will become enormous.
Seeing the next moment, everyone's attack was about to arrive, and the situation was on the verge of an irreversible state.
Su Yu suddenly thought of an idea.
"Hold on! I mean no harm!"
Su Yu shouted loudly, then swiftly took action, utilizing supersonic speed, and suddenly pulled out a pile of things from Nihility Space!
"So fast! Watch out for attacks!"
Seeing this, the elders thought Su Yu was striking first to launch an attack.
They were extremely terrified in their hearts, Su Yu's speed was incredibly fast, evidently reaching the Nine-Star level!
They were utterly in despair, whether they could defeat this monster or not, this Elder Council space was doomed to be destroyed.
Not to mention, there might still be an army of Mechanical Beasts to follow.
Was the human resistance about to be extinguished today?
However, the next moment, these elders widened their eyes.
Because they saw something...
"Is that... Imperial currency! My God, so much Imperial currency!"
"What is this monster trying to do?"
They recognized that what Su Yu brought out was tens of thousands of "Imperial Currency"!
These people, being descendants of the Giant God Soldiers' stationed Mechanic from ten thousand years ago, naturally knew about the human empire's currency from back then.
This energy currency minted by the Empire has a magical trait of trinity transformation, also contains potent pure spiritual energy, making it the best supplement for a Spiritual User.
Especially in this Manifestation Space, where energy and matter are extremely scarce, Imperial Currency is incredibly valuable.
These descendants of Mechanics have treasured a few Imperial Currencies as valuable items, not daring to use them easily.
Now seeing Su Yu suddenly take out so many, how could they not be shocked?
For a moment, everyone was highly perplexed, not knowing what Su Yu was up to, fighting's a fight, why pull out money? Showing off wealth?
Of course, they didn't know, what Su Yu pulled out was not Imperial Currency, but energy coins he had created himself.
But there's little difference, these people didn't recognize it.
At this time, the pure spiritual energy from the energy coins spread throughout the Elder Council space.
Everyone, sensing this pure energy, couldn't help but shudder, their attacking movements paused for a moment.
They were inwardly exclaiming, was the terrifying monster using money to distract them?
Su Yu then lightly lifted his hands, tossing the pile of over thirty thousand Imperial Currency towards everyone:
"I was reckless, this is a small token, please don't mind."
Su Yu smiled.
Meanwhile, he activated his abilities to repair his flesh, and the Brutal Battle Armor was also being repaired.
In such a short time, Su Yu had recovered seventy to eighty percent, with various terrifying auras retracted, looking no longer so scary.
And by now, the pile of Imperial Currency had already flown in front of everyone.
The Mechanics exchanged glances, what was this?
In previous Mechanical Beast attacks, they always fought directly, never heard of throwing money!
However, they finally calmed down, suppressing their impulse to attack.
Because so much money placed before them, with the "scent" of pure spiritual energy, deeply impacted them.
It made their killing intent significantly wane.
"Haha, paying to pave the way really works, turns out I'm still quite a diplomatic expert..."
Su Yu chuckled to himself.
The tense situation earlier was quelled by him with a heap of money.
This was his "diplomatic strategy".
Anyway, these energy coins were nothing to him.
His Brutal Battle Armor could produce a huge amount of energy coins every day.
Previously, when propagating these energy coins, Su Yu distributed at least one energy coin per person to hundreds of thousands of people in the Mechanical City.
Compared to that, this mere tens of thousands of energy coins were nothing.
If it weren't for the energy scarcity here among the Transcendents, he really wouldn't have brought out these tens of thousands of energy coins.
These energy coins, for Su Yu, were just change, casually tossed into Nihility Space to gather dust, in case of an energy shortfall someday for use.
Never imagined they'd come in handy one day.
"Who are you? What do you want?"
"Whatever you intend to do! Humanity will never surrender!"
Finally, after a while, an Elder spoke up.
