I Am Super Rich

-Book XVIII-

Chapter 851

"Ah!"

Lufian held his head and cried out in pain.

His pursuit is very simple. He just wanted to stay in Leila, be with Elora, and have his own home and children.

However, the other voice in his head said, 'You have to go out. Leave Leila, conquer one civilization after another, step across the universe, and become the master of the universe.

'That is what you should do.'

The constant collision of the two ideas drove Lufian to the brink of insanity.

He did not know how he should choose, and for a moment, he did not even know who he was.

Woosh!

In the end, he could not bear it anymore, so he turned into a dazzling light and disappeared in an instant.

As Sylvio looked at Lufian leave, he felt relaxed and worried at the same time.

Although he was safe for now, the real danger lay ahead.

Lufian had achieved Heavenly Overlord Rank, so his strength was already invincible, and no one could suppress him.

With the fusion of dual souls, he could fly into a rage at any time, so there was not one place in Leila that was safe.

'What should I do now?' Sylvio thought for a moment. He planned to assess Elora's situation before making any plans.

Suppressing the discomfort in his body, he waved his hand and an intricate nebula map appeared in front of him.

He started to quickly stir the nebula, using Zwei Arithmetics to make predictions.

Suddenly, the nebula bounced back with such force that it knocked him back a few steps.

He had already been seriously injured by Lufian and when he was knocked back, he spat out a mouthful of blood.

"What's this?"

Sylvio looked at the nebula map in front of him with shock on his face.

He could no longer detect Elora now.

How was this possible?

It worked before, why not now?

There were only two possibilities for this.

One possibility was Elora herself.

Her strength might have surpassed Sylvio and she might have learned a secret technique that was on the same level as Zwei Arithmetics. Or she might have obtained an ancient artifact that could hide her. They were all possible reasons as to why she could not be detected.

The second possibility was interference from external factors.

This was much more complicated.

According to Sylvio's guess, the first possibility was unlikely, so it was mostly the second.

Perhaps the entanglement between Elora and David was too deep, causing her to be affected as well.

As for why Sylvio could not deduce David, Sylvio could not say for sure as he had never met him.

"Huff…"

He took a few deep breaths and tried to calm himself down.

So much had happened during this time.

The Robotias and the Soul Devourers had teamed up for a sneak attack. As a result, Elora was forced to self-detonate and her soul entered The Spirit Cage for recovery. After that, she met a mysterious man named David, someone that even Zwei Arithmetics could not identify.

After Elora's soul recovered, Stark disrupted her restoration, causing her soul to be seriously damaged yet again, so she had to enter The Spirit Cage for further recovery.

Since Lufian had recklessly and forcibly merged his dual souls to become a legendary Heavenly Overlord, he had lost his true self and become a source of danger that could go berserk at anytime.

Zwei Arithmetics was once considered invincible but it had failed on Stark and David, making Sylvio feel lost.

He greatly relied on Zwei Arithmetics and it had helped him avoid bad luck, and turn bad luck into good, many times in the past.

Once it lost its effect, Sylvio could only run around like a headless chicken.

Everything that happened indicated that Leila was about to usher in a catastrophe.

No one could say for sure if they could get through this safely.

Sylvio knew.

Judging from the current situation, the Robotias and the Soul Devourers were doomed.

They would surely not be able to stop Heavenly Overlord Lufian.

However, that did not mean that Leila would be safe.

If Elora rejected Lufian, Leila would fall into a bigger crisis, and might even be destroved.

'How can we save ourselves?' Sylvio did not have any good plans at that moment so he could not help but let out a sigh.

"Gosh!"

He could only take one step at a time.

He had to find a way to meet this mysterious David first, as he was the most uncertain factor.

Then, he would think about what to do next.

Only if that did not work, would he tell Elora the seriousness of the matter.

Even if she did not like Lufian, Sylvio hoped that she could make the most correct choice for the safety of countless living creatures in Leila.

After all, only she could keep Lufian from going berserk.

Yet, even so, they would only be treating the symptom, not the root cause.

Lufian was too dangerous.

There could not be the slightest error or the whole of Leila would suffer.

—

After Lufian left, he ran out of Leila immediately.

He urgently needed to vent his anger.

However, rationality told Lufian that he could not do it here and must do it elsewhere.

So his target was the Robotias' lair, their mother brain.

Not only did this race try to invade Leila many times to occupy Leila's resources, but they also seriously injured Elora, causing her to self-detonate to survive.

And Elora was Lufian's trigger.

If anyone dared to hurt Elora, they would have to bear Lufian's revenge.

Lufian despised the Robotias to the bone. He had wanted to get rid of them a long time ago.

However, he did not have the strength back then.

Now, it was different.

Lufian had achieved Heavenly Overlord Rank and was already stronger than most level 9 civilizations.

The Robotias obviously did not have a Heavenly Overlord.

Otherwise, they would not have failed in after many attempts to invade Leila.

How strong was a Heavenly Overlord?

They would easily destroy a level 9 civilization, but they just needed some time.

Of course, the premise is that there was no other Heavenly Overlord in this level 9 civilization.

At this very moment, countless robots were working in an orderly manner in the Robotias' lair.

From a distance, the Robotias' mother brain resembled a human brain.

It was suspended in the void and that was why it was called the mother brain.

It was just that the size of this mother brain was a bit scary.

It was bigger than Leila's biggest planet.

It had many tentacles around it, each one was thick and long.

In short, it was simply a huge alien monster.

The rest of the Robotias were not even a grain of sand compared to the mother brain.

Anyone who saw the Robotias' mother brain for the first time would be extremely astonished.

The way that this race survived and reproduced was completely different from the other living races that naturally bred in the universe.

The mother brain would devour all kinds of resources and energy in the universe, creating countless Robotias to fight for it.

They had no fixed residence.

When it devoured everything in a civilization, the mother brain would move its huge body and continue in another place.

The location where the Robotias' mother brain was located was once a level 8 civilization.

However, it had almost been entirely devoured by the mother brain. All resources had been exhausted and it was no longer as glorious and flourishing as before.

The life that was once here had long since disappeared.

It was said that a very small part fled to Leila, struggling at death's door in some corner.

The five Overlords guarding Leila knew about those who fled here but tacitly allowed them to continue living in Leila.

—

After Lufian left, Sylvio contacted Valentin and Drogo immediately.

The two Overlords rushed over quickly.

They did not know anything about Lufian as yet.

So, they were a little curious about Sylvio's sudden call.

"Sylvio, why did you suddenly call us over?" Drogo asked aloud.

"Yeah! Sylvio, tell us what's going on. I'm still recovering," Valentin also asked.

His injuries were the most severe.

A Lv 6 Robotia's self-detonation was not something trivial.

Until now, he was not even 30% recovered.

It might take a long time for him to recover, even with the assistance of countless healing medicines.

By this time, Sylvio had calmed down. One could not tell that he had just experienced a big battle and that his body was seriously traumatized.

No, it was not a big battle.

It should be unilateral abuse.

Anyone who faced Heavenly Overlord Lufian going berserk would be abused by him.

Compared to a Heavenly Overlord, there was little difference between a Supreme Overlord and an Ancient Overlord.

They were all ants!

"I asked you to come here at this time because I have something very important to tell you. It is related to the life and death of the entire Leila. If you are not careful, you may lose everything," Sylvio said seriously.

Judging from Sylvio's expression, Valentin and Drogo understood the seriousness of the matter.

"Sylvio, are the Robotias and the Soul Devourers coming? Those bastards are really good at timing. They know that we are all injured, so they choose to attack at this time. Don't worry, Sylvio, although I am only less than 30% recovered, I can still fight. At worst, I will follow their example and blow myself up to die with these bastards." Valentin had a baleful look on his face.

"Valentin is right! There are no cowards in Leila. Even if we die, we will drag a few of them down with us." Drogo also gritted his teeth. He was extremely angry.

Both of them climbed the ranks of Leila step by step, so they had special feelings for Leila.

It was their hometown and no one was allowed to destroy it.

"It's not about the Robotias and the Soul Devourers. Those two races are no longer a threat to us, but there is a bigger crisis and it's much greater than the threat of the Soul Devourers and the Robotias joining forces. Even I can't do anything," Sylvio said, shaking his head.

Valentin and Drogo exchanged glances.

They could feel each other's doubts.

Had the threat of the Soul Devourers and the Robotias been resolved?

When did this happen?

How could they not know?

There was a greater crisis than the alliance between the two enemy races?

What was it?

It could even threaten Leila's life and death?

The two were confused.

They did not understand what Sylvio was saying at all.

"Sylvio, stop keeping us in suspense. What happened? Tell us! Do you want to wait for Lufian to arrive before you tell us? By the way, we are both here, but why hasn't Lufian arrived yet? It stands to reason that he should arrive before us," Valentin asked suspiciously.

"The crisis is related to Lufian. What I say next may challenge what you already know, but it's all true," Sylvio said in a deep voice.

Chapter 852

Valentin and Drogo did not speak. They waited for Sylvio to finish.

"Do you remember that when Lufian went mad, he caused the death of countless creatures?" Sylvio asked, looking at the two.

"Of course, I remember! That scene was like hell and I will never forget it." Valentin recalled.

At the same time, there was a trace of fear on his face.

It could be seen how he was traumatized by Lufian going mad the last time.

One must know that Valentin was an Overlord.

Anyone who reached this stage would have gone through a lot.

How gory and cruel would it have to be to traumatize him so much?

The same went for Drogo next to him.

He also recalled the scene at that time.

Immediately, the two of them suddenly thought of something. Their bodies shook as they asked in unison, " Sylvio, has Lufian gone mad again?"

After Lufian went crazy, Sylvio kept him under control. Both Valentin and Drogo suggested then that Lufian should be completely wiped out.

In the end, Sylvio promised that Lufian would not do this again, so they dismissed the idea and Lufian did not go crazy again.

Until now.

Was it happening again?

"It's more serious than going crazy," Sylvio replied.

Immediately, he began to explain.

Lufian had the extremely rare dual souls in the universe. One was his original normal personality, while the other was the violent personality that lost reason.

When Lufian was triggered, the berserk personality would emerge and take control of the body.

The body's strength would soar, but at the same time, he would also lose his mind. He would kill crazily and destroy everything in sight.

Originally, Lufian had managed to completely suppress the violent personality.

However, because Elora failed to restore her body and Lufian thought it was due to his lack of strength, he forced himself to achieve Heavenly Overlord Rank. He was about to fail at the end.

At this moment, Lufian's violent personality jumped out and merged with Lufian's normal personality. Then, they successfully broke through to Heavenly Overlord in one fell swoop.

As Sylvio described it, Valentin and Drogo's eyes were wide and their mouths gaped. Their eyes were also full of disbelief.

Both of them now realized that there was a more terrible crisis than the Robotias and the Soul Devourers joining forces.

"S-Sylvio! Y-You mean that Lufian's personalities were fused and he may go berserk at any time? Not only that, but he also attained Heavenly Overlord Rank?" asked a stammering Drogo.

"Exactly!"

"W-Well, Lufian has become a Heavenly Overlord now, so if he goes berserk, who can suppress him?" Valentin also asked aloud.

"No one. Not even me. It can even be said that we're just cannon fodder if we attack a Heavenly Overlord like him together." Sylvio shook his head.

"W-What should we do then? I said at the beginning that we should resolve

Lufian as the uncertain factor once and for all. You didn't listen, saying that Lufian is extremely talented and that he's useful to Leila if he's used well. Now look! The whole of Leila may be destroyed in his hands," Valentin could not stop himself from complaining.

"That's enough, Valentin, what's the point of talking about it now? The most important thing now is to find a solution to the problem," Drogo said. "Lufian has become a Heavenly Overlord. What else can we do aside from waiting for death? Should we kneel in front of him and pray that he won't go berserk?"

"Stop arguing. I didn't think carefully enough about this matter! I thought that with my strength and the blessing of Zwei Arithmetics, I could completely control Lufian, but I didn't expect this kid to grow up so fast that he has far surpassed me," Sylvio sighed.

If he knew this would happen, he would have dealt with Lufian immediately to avoid future trouble.

In the end, Sylvio was too confident in himself.

He did not think a kid would be able to achieve too much. As a result, he was almost killed by that kid just now.

In fact, Valentin did not want to complain about Sylvio.

After all, he knew Sylvio's identity and strength.

Besides, Sylvio was their guide.

Although the two sides did not call each other master and disciple, they already regarded Sylvio as their master in their hearts.

Everyone respected Sylvio very much.

However, they were still very shocked when they heard what Sylvio said just now.

Who could stop the rampage of Heavenly Overlord Lufian?

Wouldn't they be doomed?

There would be no safe place in the whole of Leila.

What else could they do apart from fleeing?

Overlords like them could escape. The Deities also had a chance to escape, but what about other ordinary people?

They could only wait for death.

Once they ran into Lufian, they would have no possibility of survival.

After Lufian went berserk that year, countless creatures became extinct.

It was simply unbearable.

Valentin still had a deep memory of that scene. He was in a state of confusion for a while before he suggested their next move.

It was true that both of them suggested to Sylvio to get rid of Lufian.

The other party refused to listen and this caused the current consequences.

So, they would be lying if they said they did not have any concerns in their hearts.

"Sylvio, what should we do now?" Drogo asked worriedly.

He knew very well what would happen if a Heavenly Overlord goes berserk.

Everyone could attempt to fight the Robotias and the Soul Devourers teaming up to invade Leila. It was just uncertain as to who would win the battle.

Leila might have a chance to win.

Not just a chance, but a high chance.

However, if Heavenly Overlord Lufian went berserk, they would have no possibility of winning at all.

No wonder Sylvio said it was more serious than the Robotias teaming up with the Soul Devourers.

"The only one who can appeal to Lufian's reason now is Elora. If she can stay by Lufian's side and watch over him all the time, Lufian will have a smaller chance of going berserk."

As soon as Sylvio said this, Valentin's and Drogo's eyes showed surprise at the same time.

They seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw and saw hope for life.

That was right!

Lufian cared so much about Elora that so as long as Elora was by his side, Lufian would always be able to keep his sanity.

"That's right! Sylvio, this is a good plan. Get Elora back quickly and let her keep an eye on Lufian. Although it's not a long-term solution, we can't consider so many things now. We can only use this method to buy time and then we'll think of other ways," Valentin urged.

"I'll go see Elora but she's not in a good condition right now, so it's hard to say if she will be willing to come back. I can't forcefully bring her back, right?" Sylvio said with uncertainty.

"Just look at the situation we're in now! Does she still want to wait for her chance encounter? If she doesn't come back, Leila will be gone if Lufian goes berserk." Valentin immediately increased his volume.

Was this a joke?

The lives and deaths of countless living creatures in Leila were at stake, so this was not a trivial matter.

And Elora might still not come back at this critical moment?

"That's right! Elora is the only one who can keep Lufian from going berserk. If she doesn't come back to keep an eye on him, Leila may be destroyed at anytime," Drogo also chimed in.

He and Valentin were on the same side on this matter. Elora had to come back.

"You don't have to worry too much now. According to my inference, even if Lufian goes berserk, he won't be as crazy as last time. His dual souls are fused, so even if he goes berserk, he will still have a trace of reason.

Moreover, Lufian attributed Elora's restoration failure to his lack of strength, so he should have gone to the Robotias and the Soul Devourers by now to avenge Elora," Sylvio explained.

"But even so, Elora must come back. Otherwise, after Lufian wipes out the Robotias and the Soul Devourers and doesn't see Elora, he will start attacking Leila. What will we do then?"

Sylvio's words did not make Valentin feel safe at all. He was still insisting on getting Elora back as it would give him a little peace of mind.

Drogo next to him nodded in agreement.

"Lufian will be able to vent the anger in his heart after he wipes out the Robotias and the Soul Devourers, and he should recover temporarily. Why don't you stop recuperating in seclusion? This is urgent so you should summon the people below and tell them to get ready! Although It may not be of any use, it's better than not doing anything. I'm going to see Elora."

"Okay! Sylvio, you must bring Elora back as this is related to the safety of the entire Leila," Valentin said.

"I know! I'll try my best."

Sylvio did not make any promises as there was another variable in this matter, and that was David.

Stark was so powerful and yet his unknown method could only just escape Zwei Arithmetics' calculations.

However, David could counteract the person analyzing him, and even when Sylvio was trying to do the same for Elora, he also suffered a backlash. Sylvio had to pay attention to such a person.

Ever since Sylvio obtained Zwei Arithmetics from ancient times, he had calculated countless people and events. He had even turned inauspicious starts to good accounts and averted disasters.

The only one who could make him suffer backlash was David.

He could only decide what to do after meeting Elora and David.

What if the variable David could suppress Lufian?

Who knew?

Everything in the universe engendered and restrained each other.

There was nothing absolute in this world and there would be a silver lining in every crisis.

Sylvio had mastered Zwei Arithmetics so he believed in these ancient maxims.

Sylvio had reason to believe that the variable David might be Leila's lifeline.

It would be best to completely get rid of Lufian.

Even if Elora stayed by his side all the time, it was not a long-term solution, and there was no guarantee that Lufian would not go berserk in the future.

If even Elora could not control Lufian, it would be a real disaster for Leila. It was still fine for now.

Lufian would snap back to his senses whenever Elora was mentioned. At least he could maintain some sanity and not do anything too crazy.

That showed that things were not at their worst yet.

Sylvio's ambiguous words did not satisfy Valentin.

How could he be so perfunctory when it was about his life and death?

"Sylvio, don't do your best, but…"

Before Valentin finished speaking, he was interrupted by Drogo, "Sylvio, we believe in you. Go see Elora without worries and leave the rest to us."

"Okay. Thank you. You should be recuperating, but there is no way. If Lufian's matter is not resolved, it will be useless even if you return to your peak unless you also get into Heavenly Overlord Rank." Sylvio nodded.

"We understand!"

Valentin and Drogo left, leaving Sylvio standing on his ground.

For now, he only knew that Elora was in The Spirit Cage, but because of David's existence, he could not use Zwei Arithmetics to find the specific location.

The Spirit Cage was neither big nor small, so it was not so easy to find someone.

No matter what, he had to go to The Spirit Cage first.

After that, Sylvio also left.

He wanted to find a safe place, set up a defensive formation, and then enter The Spirit Cage to find Elora!

Chapter 853

Amber City, The Spirit Cage.

As time went by, the city slowly returned to its usual calmness. The big war that everyone imagined did not happen. Jumbo Court was still operating as normal.

Only then did everyone react.

Since the boss behind Jumbo Court was David and he was the one who killed Perry and Fabiola, he must be very confident since Jumbo Court dared to acquire the properties in everyone's hands at the critical moment.

Otherwise, if a fight broke out, those properties would become worthless.

They could see that David's identity was not simple.

He remained unscathed even after the Marche and Campbell families worked together.

Even if he paid some price in secret, the power behind David was definitely at the same level as the two major families.

Otherwise, the two major families would not let this go so easily.

Sure enough, he was confident. No wonder he dared to kill Perry and Fabiola.

The expected war did not happen.

So the people who left The Spirit Cage to seek refuge began to come back one after another.

Naturally, they would want to buy back the properties they sold.

As a result, prices in Amber City skyrocketed again.

Jumbo Court could have cashed in on this opportunity.

However, when Thor asked David, the answer he got was different from what he expected.

David's answer was simple.

"Sell? You want to sell what I have? Continue to buy at a high price. I like the feeling of spending money."

Thor was not surprised at all.

In terms of spending money, his master had the temperament of a superpowerful hedonist.

He would only buy and not sell.

Even if his things were left untouched, he still would not sell them for money.

He had money, so he could afford to be so willful.

Now that David had spoken, Thor could only follow suit.

He continued to increase the purchase price, but unfortunately, business worsened day by day.

There were too few things on sale at this time.

Everyone was buying, not selling.

David idled his time away in The Spirit Cage.

After the little girl fell asleep in his arms, he turned on the system to see the changes in his lavish points.

Compared with previous days, the increase in his lavish points now was much slower.

After spending one million to upgrade Cloning to level 6, he had only accumulated hundreds of thousands of points until now.

The next breakthrough, whether it was Body, Mind, or Cloning, would require 10 million points.

The difference between hundreds of thousands and ten million was vast.

However, David was not in a hurry.

He felt that his strength was completely sufficient to deal with all crises and accidents.

His Mind was at Ancient level 10, he had the combat power of a partial Heavenly Overlord, and he had 81 clones.

No matter where he went, he would be a terrifying power that would frighten others.

He watched the little girl eat and sleep every day, and as she slept and ate, her body grew little by little.

She had to eat a lot of treasures of heaven and earth every day.

If it were not for his previous experience, David would have doubted whether the little girl's body could bear it.

When he first met Pebbles, the little girl was only five or six years old, but now she was almost ten.

This was such a terrifying speed.

One morning, after Pebbles woke up, her big brother David was gone.

She could not find him, so she went to the roof alone. Then, sitting on the highest point, she looked at the distant sky in a daze.

She recalled something from the past, but the fragments were too chaotic for her to piece together.

Just as the little girl was lost in her thoughts, a figure sat beside her to look into the distance with her.

When David returned to the room, he did not see Pebbles, and after a little sensing, he found the little girl on the roof.

So, he came after her.

Two figures, one big and one small, sat next to each other. No one said anything.

After ten minutes of silence, Pebbles finally said, "Davey, do you have a lot of questions in your heart?"

"Of course, but I won't ask. When you want to tell me, I can be a qualified listener and also give you advice," David replied while looking into the distance.

"Thank you, Davey!" Pebbles turned her head to look at David's profile and showed a lovely smile.

To be honest, the little girl looked like a porcelain doll even in her teens and was very attractive.

"Why are you thanking me? I'm your big brother that you can rely on. If anyone dares to bully you in the future, just tell me. No matter who it is, I will help you beat them until they give up," David also turned and said with a smile.

"Okay!" The little girl looked at David and nodded. The smile on her face became even wider.

There was an infinite supply of treasures of heaven and earth now that she followed David.

In addition, hanging on David's body all the time and inhaling David's scent helped her grow up a lot and remember things.

However, they were just bits and pieces of memory.

She could not piece them into a complete memory.

"Davey, I don't remember a lot of things and they are very scattered, so I don't know where to start. I'll tell you everything after I remember! I assure you that I will not leave without saying goodbye this time," the little girl said seriously.

As soon as she mentioned this, David instantly became displeased.

He thought to himself, 'Alright, since she remembers, I'll have to reprimand her.'

Then, the smile on his face disappeared, revealing a serious look. He glared at the little girl, and said angrily, "You remember that you left without saying goodbye last time, huh? I haven't dealt with you yet! You didn't say anything and only left a note before disappearing. I didn't even know where you went and you didn't even leave any contact information. What were you trying to do? Were you trying to cut ties with me? Cut all contact with me? So, was I spoiling you in vain?"

Seeing David so angry, the little girl also panicked.

It was the first time she had seen David angry. She pouted and almost burst into tears.

"Davey, I'm sorry! I was wrong. I shouldn't have left without saying goodbye and not leaving any contact information. I don't know what I was thinking at the time. I forgot and now I really hate myself for what I did back then." The little girl answered with an apologetic look on her face.

David originally wanted to criticize her so she would remember.

In the end, when he saw that the little girl was about to cry, his heart softened.

Gosh, she was not crying, and already, his heart was about to melt.

What would happen if she did cry?

Being soft was always his weakness and David knew this.

Especially when he was facing a woman. He could not bring himself to heartlessly hurt her, let alone a teenager so adorable.

David quickly reached out to pull Pebbles into his arms. Then, he comforted, "Alright, alright, I'm not blaming you. Just don't do this in the future. If not, I will be sad."

"Alright, Davey, I remember. I will not make the same mistake anymore. I will discuss everything with you in the future."

"That's more like it. Good girl!"

—

After Sylvio arranged a defensive formation, his soul immediately entered The Spirit Cage.

Once a soul reached Overlord Realm, it could enter and exit The Spirit Cage at will and without restrictions.

As Leila's longest-lived and most knowledgeable person, Sylvio knew The Spirit Cage very well.

In fact. The Spirit Cage was not a virtual world, but a weapon of primal chaos.

The inside of the weapon was a world of its own: where only the soul could enter to increase its soul power quickly.

The Spirit Cage was very useful for those who were not strong enough.

However, for creatures whose strength had reached a certain level, The Spirit Cage had very limited effect.

So, The Spirit Cage was a place for young people to practice and build their foundation.

By laying the foundation well, they would have smooth sailing on the road of cultivation in the future and avoid a lot of mistakes.

Other larger forces also had capabilities in The Spirit Cage.

They would send the direct descendants of their family to The Spirit Cage when they reached a certain age.

Firstly, it was to enhance their soul power and lay a solid foundation for them for the future.

Secondly, it was also to allow the youngsters to practice and accumulate some experience.

The Spirit Cage had been around for far too long.

According to the records of ancient books, someone who had achieved the realm beyond Overlord passed by Leila and saw that Leila's creatures only

practiced their bodies but not their souls. Therefore, they would hardly achieve success in the future.

So, they left behind the weapon of primal chaos in The Spirit Cage. They also brought in and scattered much equipment in every corner of Leila.

Initially, anyone could find them.

As time went by, everyone knew the benefits of entering The Spirit Cage, so these pieces of equipment were either robbed or bought. Gradually, they were all collected by major forces, leading to the current situation.

Most of the equipment that entered The Spirit Cage was controlled by powerful forces.

The result was that the strong would get stronger, and the weak would get weaker.

The direct descendants of major forces had unique resources and opportunities, so their strength was much higher than that of ordinary people.

These were unavoidable scenarios, and it would be the same no matter where one was.

Both resources and wealth were in the hands of the very few.

As for where the main form of The Spirit Cage was, no one knew.

Sylvio also tried to infer using Zwei Arithmetics.

Just when he was about to start, his body shuddered unconsciously.

Not only did his body shudder, but his soul also.

At that moment, Sylvio immediately stopped what he was doing.

He knew his body's reaction was not unfounded.

It was definitely an omen.

So, he stopped his inference.

Otherwise, there might be a disaster.

Since then, Sylvio never had any ideas about The Spirit Cage anymore.

After all, this was a weapon left by someone with the power beyond Overlord Realm.

He did not know if the records in ancient books were true or false but felt that it was better to believe that they were true, rather than not believe.

So, it would be better to be careful.

If he made the wrong move, the consequences would be very serious. He wouldn't know if he'd face death if he dared to look into something created by someone beyond the Overlord Realm.

Since Leila's countless eras, The Spirit Cage has helped Leila cultivate batch after batch of powerhouses.

Without any exaggeration, without The Spirit Cage, it would have been impossible for Leila to have Overlords.

Perhaps not even partial Overlords.

Therefore, it could be seen how important The Spirit Cage was to Leila's living creatures.

Chapter 854

Therefore, almost all forces would send their people into The Spirit Cage for development.

Those who served as the heads of the forces in The Spirit Cage had a very high status in their family. Some were second only to the head of the family.

The Spirit Cage had become the biggest world next to Leila.

Countless young people scrambled to enter. They wanted to gain experience, improve their soul and body, and lay the foundation for their future.

However, the equipment left by the great Almighty had been damaged for a long time, so the people who entered The Spirit Cage today were much worse than those who entered at the beginning.

Except for Overlords, no one could enter without the help of the equipment.

To put it bluntly, The Spirit Cage was something left by a great Almighty who pitied Leila.

After entering The Spirit Cage, Sylvio appeared in a dense forest. He was surrounded by trees hundreds of kilometers high, and this told Sylvio that he was in an old-growth forest with rare human presence.

Just as Sylvio was about to rise into the air to get his bearings, he felt something tightening around his body.

Then, his body left the ground and rose into the air quickly.

It stopped in the middle of the surrounding trees a few hundred meters away and changed direction towards an opening in a large tree.

As soon as he entered the tree hole, he found himself inside a spacious hall.

Sylvio felt the grip loosening around his body, and he was thrown into a corner.

He saw a few insects about the size of a man, all grinning at him with green saliva flowing from the corners of their mouths. They look like they regarded him as food.

These insects had four pairs of pincers and three pairs of wings on their backs.

Turning in the air, Sylvio landed steadily. Then, he turned and looked behind him. He saw an insect as big as a hill slowly appearing.

It looked exactly like the small insects.

'The big one can even turn invisible?' Sylvio wondered.

There was a curious look in Sylvio's eyes.

With his strength, he could easily counterattack the moment he was caught.

However, Sylvio did not do that but followed along to see what this thing was.

He thought about all kinds of animals, but he never thought that it could be an insect.

"I was wondering what punk is so bold as to dare to abduct me. It turns out to be an insect," Sylvio shook his head and said.

"Hiss…"

The smaller insects behind Sylvio roared at him, their sound making anyone who heard it feel uneasy.

The big insect's huge eyes occupied half of its head and it stared at Sylvio. "Okay, I won't play with you anymore as I still have something to do. I won't kill you today because you are a mother just looking for food for your children."

Sylvio stepped forward as he spoke.

Immediately, a ball of energy locked onto the mountain-like insect.

The danger of death was approaching.

The big insect was flying in the air, but now, it lay on the ground in fright, trembling all over.

When Sylvio walked by it, a shaky voice said, "Thank you so much for not killing me, Milord."

Upon hearing this, Sylvio turned to look at the big insect.

"You even know how to speak the human language? It seems that you're an unusual beast that is about to evolve. I will come to you again when I have a chance and take you to see the outside world."

After speaking, Sylvio left without looking back.

An unusual beast that could turn invisible was worth cultivating.

Sylvio could take it with him, and after some training, it would definitely be useful in dealing with the Soul Devourers.

The Soul Devourers loved to devour souls, right?

This big insect was a soul and it could turn invisible.

Too bad the Soul Devourers were no longer a threat and the most dangerous one now was Lufian.

Sylvio came out of the tree hole and flew to the sky. After some sensing, he chose a direction and left quickly.

He disappeared in a blink of an eye.

—

The Robotias didn't possess a traditional lair; their lair was wherever the mother brain resided.

Wherever the mother brain went, that became their lair.

The mother brain was constantly on the move.

After consuming everything in its path, it would relocate to another area to continue its consumption.

When the Robotias' mother brain initially arrived in this location, it wasn't as large as it currently is.

As the countless planets and continents of level 8 civilization were swallowed up by it, its body also grew. Eventually, a huge body formed.

Whoever saw it would be horrified by such a big and terrifying alien monster.

At this time, a dark shadow stood in the center of the futuristic hall, located in the most central position of the Robotias' mother brain.

If Sylvio was here, he would recognize that the shadow was Stark from the Soul Devourers.

Stark was a powerhouse whose strength had also reached partial Heavenly Overlord Rank.

However, he only broke through to partial Heavenly Overlord Rank not long ago.

Compared to someone like Sylvio, who had been a partial Heavenly Overlord for hundreds of epochs, the gap between them was still quite large.

So much so that he was even more severely injured than Sylvio after he prevented Elora from restoring her body and had a fight with Sylvio.

"Are you sure you can destroy Leila? That guy Sylvio's strength is not a joke. Anyway, I can't beat him. I listened to you this time and prevented Elora from restoring her body. I fought with Sylvio and was seriously injured. Don't tell me to do such a thing next time. I desperately want revenge, but I don't want to die in Leila for it," Stark said.

Yet apart from him, there were no other living beings in the hall.

Suddenly a voice came from all directions.

"Don't worry! Those five are not even Heavenly Overlords, so they can't stop us. When we successfully invade Leila, you can take the souls of all creatures. I only want the planets and the continents. After I devour everything, I will be able to grow much more again."

"Not even Heavenly Overlords? You have the nerve to say that out loud. If Sylvio and the others really can't stop you, how did you fail in so many attempts to invade Leila and now even need to involve us?" Stark did not believe the other person's words.

This was not the first time that the Robotias had invaded Leila.

Leila had managed to block their attack a few times before, and Sylvio and others had counterattacked and invaded the Robotias' lair.

Later, for unknown reasons, they retreated.

Now, this guy was claiming so brazenly that the five Leila rulers were nothing to worry about and that they could not defeat the Robotias?

Wasn't that nonsense?

"Hehe! You underestimate me! The reason the previous few invasions were unsuccessful was not because of how strong the five Leila rulers were, but because I haven't devoured this place yet. I don't like waste, so no matter where I go, I have to finish eating before going to the next place. Now that I have devoured everything, my next target is Leila," The mother brain explained with a chuckle.

"To be honest, I don't believe you at all! But since we've come to this point, I can only try my best to help you. Plus, you do have some means and you can at least make Sylvio's Zwei Arithmetics useless. As long as you can block Sylvio, you can leave the others to us, how about that?" Stark suggested.

"It's so easy to block Sylvio. He's just a partial Heavenly Overlord! After I devour the last bit of stuff here, I'll go straight to Leila. The Soul Devourers don't need to deal with anyone. Instead, you can just watch from behind. At that time, you will know if I'm telling the truth or not." The mother brain's voice was relaxed.

It was as if the five Leila rulers were nothing to it.

"I'm very curious. Since you're so confident that you can destroy Leila and you're not even bothered by the five Leila rulers, why are you getting the Soul Devourers involved?" Stark asked curiously.

"It's simple! I don't like living creatures on the planets and continents when I devour them. After we take over Leila, I hope you can lead the Soul Devourers to clear all living creatures on Leila," the mother brain explained.

"Is that really the case? We only need to deal with the aftermath?" Stark could not believe his ears.

He was caught off guard by this sudden joyful news.

He thought to himself, 'We only need to get rid of all Leila's living creatures?

'Isn't that what the Soul Devourers love to do?

'There are countless living souls.

'Especially the five Leila rulers.

'If I could devour the souls of these five Overlords, maybe I can finally take that half step and become a real Heavenly Overlord.

'A Heavenly Overlord!

'The realm that all Overlords dream of.'

There were countless level 9 civilizations in the universe but there were very few Heavenly Overlords, not even 100.

So, it could be seen how high the status of a Heavenly Overlord was.

Once he became a Heavenly Overlord, Stark could go anywhere in the universe.

"Of course, it is true! My original idea was to let the kids below me try to see if they could take Leila down and slowly clear those creatures. After I finish my meal here, I can move to Leila to continue. In the end, you also saw what happened. It didn't work! A level 9 civilization is still very powerful and it's not as weak as a level 8 civilization. It just so happens that you guys like to devour souls the most. Since our interests do not conflict, I decided to work with you." Stark thought about it and felt that this was possible.

The Robotias' mother brain only devoured the resources of each civilization and that was a certainty.

There was no need for the other party to deceive them.

The Soul Devourers roamed the cosmic void so they had nothing worthwhile for the Robotias to deceive.

As they helped the Robotias clear up the living creatures, they could devour their souls while they were at it.

It would be killing two birds with one stone.

How perfect!

If they succeeded this time, the Soul Devourers would follow the Robotias closely to become their cleaners.

After devouring a few level 9 civilizations, the Soul Devourers might grow to become the top race in the universe.

"If this is the case, then let's have a happy cooperation. Don't worry, the Soul Devourers will clear all the living creatures in Leila for you and we will never miss a single one," Stark promised loudly.

He was quite excited now.

Not only could he avenge the great revenge back then, but he could also greatly increase the strength of the Soul Devourers.

It was like a free lunch.

"Happy cooperation! You can go and gather all of the Soul Devourers now. I will set off and go to Leila in a while. However, if you can't clear as quickly as I eat, I can always kick you out."

"You don't have to worry about that. The Soul Devourers love clearing up living creatures."

Stark left excitedly.

He was going to summon all the Soul Devourers to get ready for this big fight.

Chapter 855

One had to admit that Stark was very lucky.

Shortly after he left, a ball of light approached the Robotias' lair.

It was Lufian who stepped into Heavenly Overlord after fusing his dual souls. This time, Lufian arrived full of anger and vowing to avenge Elora.

How could he not be angry after his beloved woman was seriously injured by the Soul Devourers and the Robotias twice? Now, her whereabouts were still unknown.

If his violent personality took control of the body, Lufian would tear everything in front of him, regardless of whether enemy or a friend.

To him, there were only two kinds of people.

Himself and enemies, no friends.

However, after the fusion of the dual souls, Lufian's original personality still dominated the body. Although he was still greatly affected, he did not completely lose his mind.

Lufian knew that the Robotias and the Soul Devourers were to blame for Elora's serious injury.

So, his goal was to destroy these two races to vent his anger.

Originally, he wanted to find Elora first so that he could bring Elora with him and let her witness it with her own eyes.

However, Sylvio would rather die than tell Elora's whereabouts, so Lufian has no choice.

He still maintained a semblance of reason, so he could not bring himself to kill Sylvio.

Not to mention how much Sylvio helped him along the way.

Once Elora found out that he killed Sylvio, she would never forgive him.

That was one of the reasons Lufian did not kill Sylvio.

After Lufian achieved Heavenly Overlord Rank, it would be very easy for him to forcibly take down Sylvio, and no one could stop him.

However, he did not want to do that.

He wanted Elora's heart, not just her body.

Elora had become Lufian's obsession and inner demon, and it could not be eradicated without him obtaining Elora's body and mind at the same time.

Even his future achievements would be limited.

Lufian's other violent personality also knew this.

So he dared not intervene too much in Elora's matter and would let the original personality handle it.

If this became a sore spot, the idea of conquering the universe and all realms would fail.

As soon as Stark left, Lufian arrived.

Fortunately, they did not run into each other halfway.

Otherwise, with Lufian's current strength and hatred for Stark, Stark would not even have a chance to escape.

If Stark died, the Soul Devourers would be pretty much gone.

He was the stabilizing force of the Soul Devourers.

Without Stark, the Soul Devourers would become a mess, with everyone fighting for their own interest.

Some wanted revenge while others thought that it was meaningless to do so, and the most important thing was to find a low civilization so that the Soul Devourers could continue to survive.

In the end, they might split into several weak fractions.

As Lufian looked at the huge and terrifying monster in front of him from a distance, there was no fear in his eyes, only hatred.

The last time he saw the Robotias' mother brain, it was not this big.

It had grown up a lot.

It had almost devoured an entire level 8 civilization, so it was no wonder they teamed up with the Soul Devourers to attack Leila. There was nothing left for it to eat.

Clenching his fists tightly, the energy in Lufian's body leaked uncontrollably. It was obvious that he was about to lose control.

Lufian muttered to himself while trying to stay calm, "Elora, I will avenge you first. I will destroy the Robotias' lair and then annihilate the Soul Devourers. In the future, I will tell the whole universe that no one can hurt Lufian's woman. Whoever dares to touch you will bear my boundless wrath!"

Immediately, he stopped suppressing himself and completely released his violent side.

As long as the Soul Devourers and the Robotias didn't harm Elora, Lufian wouldn't lose control, even if they managed to conquer the Star Kingdom.

In his heart, Elora was number one.

Everything else was not important, including the whole of Leila.

Boom!

A devastating energy erupted from Lufian's body.

The surrounding void made a groaning sound.

"Robotias, you bastards, come out and accept your death! Today is the day you will be wiped out!" Lufian yelled.

His sound pierced the void and reached the Robotias' lair.

The mother brain responded immediately.

"Attack with all your strength and kill this person!"

Then, densely packed Robotias charged at Lufian.

The Robotias' tiny bodies began to assemble.

They formed into more than a dozen super huge mechanical monsters of different shapes and encircled Lufian.

These mechanical behemoths were flawlessly assembled to form a whole unit.

Although not as big as the mother brain, they were nevertheless extremely huge.

Especially five of them.

The main bodies were made from the Lv 6 Robotias that were equivalent to Overlords, so they were much larger than the others.

In other words, the Robotias' mother brain created five Overlords.

No, it should be six.

The first one had a flaw, so it blew up after it destroyed Elora's body during her restoration.

The remaining five had perfect Overlord Realm combat power.

The strength of the Lv 6's had reached Overlord Realm. After the assembly, their strength would skyrocket again.

Of course, no matter how much their strength rose, they still could not reach Heavenly Overlord Rank.

Those were the weapons of war created by the Robotias' mother brain after devouring the entire level 8 civilization.

They were its masterpieces.

If it devoured the entire Leila, it could make even more.

Lufian seemed pitifully small in front of those super behemoths.

"Human, do you know where you are?" A mechanical monster asked.

"Of course, I know! This is the Robotias' cemetery and all of the Robotias will be buried in this void." Lufian showed a chilling smile.

"What a shameless boast! We haven't gone to Leila to cause trouble for you and yet you've come to us. In this case, I will kill you first today and then invade Leila so that Mother can feast and create more of us. It won't be long before the Robotias spread to all realms of the universe and become the true master of the universe."

The 'Mother' that the mechanical behemoths spoke about was naturally the mother brain of the Robotias.

It was also the capital for the Robotias to move unhindered across the universe since it could continuously devour resources and create countless Robotias.

"With that measly strength of yours? Come here and accept your death!"

"Go! Kill that human and open up a new territory for Mother!" A mechanical behemoth shouted.

Then, more than a dozen huge monsters tightened their encirclement and quickly approached Lufian.

Lufian's small body was trapped in the middle. He was like a leaf in the ocean that was constantly thrown by the waves and in danger of sinking at any time.

Facing the attack of dozens of the Robotias' strongest mechanical behemoths, Lufian did not show any panic as he should.

Just as a dozen mechanical behemoths got close to him, Lufian said calmly, "Today, I will use the moves that Elora used against you to eliminate you. So, it can be regarded as getting some justice for her."

When he finished speaking, he suddenly shouted, "Overlord Inferno!"

A ray of flame, with Lufian as the center, spread rapidly. Almost instantly, it enveloped the mechanical behemoths.

The power of Lufian's Overlord Inferno was not comparable to that of Elora.

Their strengths were not at the same level, so their power was naturally very different.

The dozen or so mechanical behemoths enveloped in the flames did not notice the crisis as they had absolute confidence in their bodies.

They figured that since they were made by Mother, could Lufian destroy them with just a few flames?

What nonsense!

"Haha! Human, you underestimate the Robotias too much. Do you know how high a temperature our bodies can withstand? Flames have no effect on us." A mechanical behemoth laughed loudly.

"Really? I hope you can still laugh after this!" Lufian gave them a demonic grin.

The color of the flame began to change slowly and it gradually turned golden.

Gold also represented supremacy.

The behemoths sensed that something was wrong.

The surface of their bodies began to show signs of melting.

And it was melting faster and faster.

Before they could even attack Lufian, under the golden Overlord Inferno flames, the mechanical behemoths disintegrated into separate entities smaller than human beings.

And that was not all.

After the disintegration, they still could not escape the attack of Overlord Inferno.

These golden flames were like maggots attached to bones, tightly wrapping over them.

No matter how hard they tried, they still could not get rid of it.

Those below Lv 5 level were directly reduced to ashes. On the other hand, the Lv 5's were still barely holding on.

Judging from their situation, they might not be able to last long.

The Robotias' Lv 5 was equivalent to Deities.

In other words, anyone below Divine Realm would die immediately upon touching Lufian's golden Overlord Inferno.

That was how horrifying the golden flame was.

There were only five Lv 6, equivalent to Overlords. They looked more relaxed but it was still not so easy for them to escape the Overlord Inferno.

"Impossible! This is absolutely impossible! How could a mere flame melt our bodies?"

"Mother! Save us!"

Feeling the horror of these golden flames attached to their bodies, the Robotias began to cry out to the mother brain for help.

There were thunderous wails at the scene.

Even though the Robotias were mechanical and their way of reproduction was far from that of naturally formed life, each of them had a mind of its own.

They knew what the individuality meant.

"You want to call for help now? Will it help? Go to hell!" Lufian roared angrily.

As his energy surged, his body also disappeared.

He reappeared in front of one of the Lv 6s.

With a casual punch, the Lv 6 trying to put out the golden flame was smashed into countless pieces.

A red crystal floated where the Lv 6 was smashed, trying to escape.

Yet, how would Lufian allow it?

Stretching out his hand, he grabbed the red crystal and squeezed it lightly.

Smash!

The red crystal shattered.

One should not underestimate this: it was the hub that controlled the Robotia.

After Lufian crushed it, the Robotias, whose strength had reached Overlord Realm, died.

A Heavenly Overlord fighting a Supreme Overlord or an Ancient Overlord was like an adult fighting a child of three or five years old.

A partial Heavenly Overlord could be regarded as an eight-year-old who could never match an adult opponent.

However, if dozens of seven or eight-year-olds had weapons, the adult might suffer a disadvantage.

Lufian killed a Lv 6 in just a split second.

He was so fast that the Robotias around did not have time to react.

"Next!"

As soon as he said that, Lufian disappeared again.

Chapter 856

Immediately afterwards…

Boom!

Snap!

Another Robotia Lv 6 died on the spot.

The rest only came to their senses after Lufian killed two Lv 6s one after another.

"This human is a Heavenly Overlord! We are no match! Run! Mother, save us!"

The three Robotia Overlords ignored the golden flames on their bodies and turned into three rays of light before fleeing in the direction of their Mother.

The rest of Lv 5s, who were still struggling to survive, also started to flee in a panic.

Lufian chased after the three Lv 6s.

As for the rest of the Lv 5s, he did not care about them at all as the Divine Realm Robotias would be reduced to ashes by the Overlord Inferno in a short time.
