Chapter 445: Chapter 226 The Truth Behind the Peculiar Aura, the Power of Betrayal, Galaxy Battle Group!_2
Even while deciphering, Su Yu felt as if his own eyes were about to betray him, growing limbs and escaping from his eye sockets, turning against him, their master.
However, Su Yu directly ignored these anomalies.
After all, as an Evil God with dual divine statuses, he’s seen his fair share of "great winds and waves." This level of pollution wouldn’t faze him; at most, it would cause some inconvenience.
After a long while, he finally deciphered all the information.
"Galaxy Battle Armor... Betrayal Battle Regiment!"
Su Yu murmured to himself.
By then, he already understood the origin of the mysterious aura.
That’s right, according to the information Su Yu deciphered, the eerie aura containing the "betrayal" power wasn’t some Evil God’s remnant, nor was it the power of that nemesis.
Instead, it originated from Tie Long himself, from his trump card—the Galaxy Battle Armor!
According to the information, the Galaxy Battle Armor is a high-tech armor combining mechanical and biological technologies.
Each piece of armor possesses at least Eight Star level power.
Furthermore, it has its own Subspace Domain, along with something akin to the Evil God Origin.
Its origin power is named [Betrayal].
According to the information, initially, the Galaxy Warriors of the Human Empire were divided into many regiments.
Each regiment possesses a different origin power.
If categorized according to the Empire’s division, Tie Long, this Galaxy Warrior, belongs to the [Betrayal Battle Regiment].
This regiment’s power is the Power of Betrayal.
This power, as Su Yu had witnessed earlier, can pollute various living and non-living things, making them betray and turn on their masters!
It is extremely sinister and dangerous.
Presumably, Tie Long’s Galaxy Battle Armor leaked the Power of Betrayal due to prolonged disrepair, nearing obsolescence, thus polluting Yue Cheng.
Su Yu even suspected that Tie Long himself might already be polluted.
And also...
Su Yu pondered whether the development team from War City also betrayed War City and became turncoats immediately upon arriving at Mechanical City.
Could they also have been polluted by this Power of Betrayal?
"The origin power of this Galaxy Warrior, Tie Long, is actually betrayal."
"What kind of Betrayal Battle Regiment, more like a turncoat regiment."
Su Yu couldn’t help but snark.
There’s no denying that the regiment Tie Long belongs to, whether by name or power, is somewhat strange.
Clearly a Galaxy Warrior, a close-combat assault profession, how could their origin power be this sinister?
The name Betrayal Battle Regiment just sounds improper.
When the Empire initially created such a turncoat regiment, weren’t they afraid that these guys would rebel?
What were they thinking?
This group’s power truly is the "Power of Betrayal," and rebellion would be the most normal thing.
"Cannot comprehend..."
Su Yu truly couldn’t understand the mental state of the Empire back then in creating such a regiment.
Unfortunately, the previously mentioned "Power of Betrayal" contained little information.
Thus, information regarding the Betrayal Battle Regiment is not complete.
These questions in his heart remain unanswered.
"It seems the truth needs to be found with Tie Long; obtaining his Battle Armor for thorough examination should clear everything up."
Su Yu thought to himself.
Then he moved towards the center of War City.
That is where Tie Long resides.
Su Yu had already investigated the source of the hidden dangers in War City, and the next step was to find Tie Long, resolve these hidden dangers, and clear up any doubts.
...
After Su Yu left, only Yue Cheng remained in the room.
His face was full of surprise and disbelief.
"It’s actually alright now?"
He looked around, discovering an unprecedented sense of security and familiarity.
No more of that previous feeling of lurking danger and imminent betrayal.
Without this interference, his thoughts became clear:
"Could it be that Lord Su Yu truly isn’t the one behind all this? He truly came to help me?"
At this moment, Yue Cheng finally believed Su Yu’s earlier words.
"However... Lord Su Yu’s methods seem even more terrifying than that mastermind..."
He recalled the intense feeling of fear from before.
This experience was enough to be a psychological shadow for his whole life.
However, he seemed to bear no resentment towards Su Yu, only deep reverence in his eyes.
...
Su Yu left Yue Cheng’s residence, flying swiftly towards the center of War City, into the tallest and most solid steel structure.
He unhesitatingly flew in, for there he sensed Tie Long’s presence.
Upon entering, indeed, Tie Long’s large figure was seated on a steel throne, eyes closed, seemingly in deep thought.
"Tie Long!"
Su Yu appeared, speaking.
"Hmm?"
Upon hearing, Tie Long opened his eyes, saw Su Yu, and was slightly surprised, quickly saying: "Mr. Su Yu, you’ve come?! Please, have a seat..."
His demeanor was warm and friendly.
Su Yu looked at Tie Long, frowning.
Tie Long’s character seemed a bit off.
This guy was not usually warm and friendly; he was rather rough around the edges, also sly, and liked to joke around.
"There really is a problem."
Su Yu thought to himself.
However, except for the slight change in character, there was no outward sign of the Power of Betrayal in Tie Long.
It seemed the pollution was deeply hidden, embedded in the bone, so on the surface, it was invisible.
"Stop pretending, I already know about the Power of Betrayal."
Su Yu said coldly.
Indeed, upon hearing Su Yu’s words, Tie Long’s expression changed, then returned to normal.
"Haha, I couldn’t hide from Mr. Su Yu after all."
Tie Long openly admitted.
Su Yu looked at him and suddenly asked, "You are not Tie Long. Who are you? Or rather, what are you?"
Tie Long smiled slightly: "Mr. Su Yu is indeed sharp. Yes, I am not Tie Long."
"I am... the Galaxy Battle Armor!"
He had just finished speaking when his skin suddenly hardened and grew, transforming in a short time into a formidable mechanical battle armor.
This armor was very thick, encasing Tie Long like a large iron can without a trace of skin showing.
The material of the armor seemed metallic but also had the texture of blood and flesh.
There was a large hole in the armor’s chest.
Through this hole, one could see extremely complex circuits, mechanical structures, and blood vessel nerves inside...
As soon as the armor appeared, Su Yu immediately felt a strong aura.
This aura seemed nearly as comparable to that of the Brutal Battle Armor.
This armor was truly a product of combined mechanical and biological technology, very advanced, though heavily damaged, appearing in poor condition.
"It really is an Eight Star level armor."
Su Yu nodded secretly in his heart.
Now it seemed that this armor had "betrayed" its master Tie Long, taking over completely.
"You betrayed your master?"
Su Yu asked in a deep voice.
Seeing that this armor was intelligent and able to communicate, he didn’t start a fight immediately but wanted to inquire and gather some information first.
"Betrayal? No, I did not betray. My greatest strength is loyalty."
The Galaxy Battle Armor shook its head in denial.
"Loyalty..."
Su Yu was speechless.
Its origin power was the Power of Betrayal, and now it’s talking about loyalty; isn’t that a joke?
"Mr. Su Yu doesn’t believe?"
The Galaxy Battle Armor said in a gentle tone.
"I don’t believe it."
Su Yu admitted directly.
The Galaxy Battle Armor chuckled lightly, "It seems Mr. Su Yu has quite a misunderstanding about me."
After exchanging a few words with it, Su Yu found it wasn’t as sinister as imagined.
So Su Yu thought for a moment, then earnestly said, "I’d love to hear more."
Seeing Su Yu’s attitude, the Galaxy Battle Armor seemed somewhat pleased and slowly began to speak:
"I am the standard armor of the Human Empire, the seventh regiment of Galaxy Warriors, [Betrayal Battle Regiment]."
"Our regiment is named [Betrayal]. The reason for this name is that when our regiment was established, the Empire dispatched powerful Spiritual Users to capture a powerful Subspace entity deep within the Subspace, a concept called [Betrayal], into the Material Universe."
"Then, the Empire used this powerful Subspace entity to forge our regiment’s power origin."
"The power of this Subspace entity is the Power of Betrayal, and this power is extremely sinister."
"However, researchers of the Empire discovered that the power of this Subspace entity is inherently two-faced."
"It can be the sinister Power of Betrayal, but it can also be reversed to become an open and forthright... Power of Loyalty!"
