Chapter 582: Chapter 305: Baffled Reina, Li Ming Caught Red-Handed

"Folding fortress, tsk tsk..." Reina was still provoking, "With such a big cannon mouth, can it even hit a person?"

"You’re right, people can dodge, after all, not everyone is like Duke Guya, unable to move." Albert responded indifferently.

Reina’s complexion suddenly darkened, and he said coldly, "Hogging all the benefits isn’t a good habit, especially on someone else’s turf!"

Albert frowned, about to reply, but his expression suddenly changed, the custom communicator hanging from his ear seeming to transmit a voice.

Startled, he turned his head to look, only to see Asimara floating in front of a withered corpse, her expression one of panic.

"Is he really dead?" Albert’s heart shook, unbelieving, as intense silver radiance spread like a tidal wave in all directions, its dazzling brilliance clearly visible across the entire battlefield.

Reina, seeing the other’s reaction, looked puzzled and followed his gaze to a headless corpse?

He hadn’t had time to think any further, as the energy fluctuations before him suddenly intensified.

He stared in astonishment, only to see Albert’s body suddenly swell, silver energy exploding then contracting, transforming him into a special life form over five meters tall, his body streaming with liquid silver energy, and a pair of flowing light wings extending from his back.

"Arugite? Direct Genetic Release?" Reina’s eyelids twitched, and before he could speak, Albert charged at him.

Boom!

The two collided once more, bursting forth with an energy flare like a solar corona, this time Reina only felt an intense pain in his arm as he was sent flying backward, smashing through multiple warships.

"Have you lost your mind!?" Reina yelled in bewilderment as he continued to roar furiously.

But Albert, heedless of anything else, attacked like a man possessed once more, dragging behind him a vast ripple of energy that nearly obscured the starfield.

In his hands, he condensed a twisted silver spear, cutting through interstellar space like the arrow of a divine being passing judgment.

Reina’s pupils contracted, too preoccupied to speak, his body suddenly trembled, explosive black and red lightning arcs bursting out, his whole person also swelling to ten meters in size, his pitch-black skin covered with red cracks, his limbs robust.

His body shook violently, the wild black and red electric arcs like thick whips of lightning, dancing madly across the starfield, then dispersing, like a net of lightning arcs concealing the starfield.

The silver-white spear exploded at his chest, a surge of energy like a tidal wave bursting forth, but it failed to cause him any effective harm.

Reina’s expression was grim, like a wrathful Thunder God, a heavy psychic wave sweeping across the field, "Albert, have you gone mad!?"

"Reina, you’re courting death. What exactly does Duke Guya want to do? Are you really asking for war?" Albert’s psychic energy pulsed with rage.

Reina was silent, not knowing what had happened, but Duke Guya’s orders were to contain the conflict within a certain range.

However, faced with the other party’s furious questioning, he couldn’t just cave in, instead retorting, "What are your intentions now, declaring war directly?"

"You’re asking me what I mean?" Albert’s anger was unabated, his psychic wave sweeping across a large area: "You even killed Duke Bloodthorn’s son, what do you think I mean!?"

Reina first froze, then his face underwent drastic changes, bewildered, his eyes already turned crimson widened with thunder flashing within, his psychic energy boiling even more, "Me? I killed Duke Bloodthorn’s son?"

It was not just him; the many Level A life forms that had gathered around were also stunned, their hearts filled with waves like a tsunami.

This wasn’t like the last time, when Duke Bloodthorn had claimed Gabriel was missing in action.

That was merely an excuse to intervene in a regional event, everyone was clear about that, but this time it was obviously different.

Near the ruins of the Circular Crown Guard, Asimara, her expression one of sorrow and rage, took a huge sigh of relief.

Albert had already declared that Reina was the one who killed Gabriel, meaning this matter was already halfway finished.

"Impossible!" Reina said decisively, looking extremely displeased, as this trouble couldn’t be pinned on himself.

When he had taken action just now, he had been restraining himself, even against the Yitelan Civilization’s Level A life forms he hadn’t dealt a killing blow, just inflicted severe injuries.

During the clash with the Ring Star Crown Guard, he hadn’t laid a hand on anyone, with Gabriel’s protective measures, how could he have died in the aftermath of an explosion?

"Impossible?" Albert stared at him coldly, "Duke Guya specifically assigned Luo Nan to protect him, if not for your covert action just now, who could have killed him?"

"You..." Reina’s face turned ugly, about to explain, but then suddenly became alert, "Just because you say Gabriel is dead, he is?"

"You’re not trying to fool me, are you?"

Albert almost laughed in anger, the energy fluctuations at his side surging like a tide, "Reina, stop pretending, I know Duke Guya suspects the assassin was sent by us."

"But this time, you have crossed the line, and it’s going to be an endless feud with Duke Bloodthorn!"

"Stop!" Reina looked at the emotionally charged Albert, growing increasingly agitated himself.

He was naturally impulsive, but now he had to be patient, looking towards the body, and said in a deep voice, "Let’s first confirm the identity of the corpse now."

Albert, seeing him like this, became even more annoyed, but also somewhat suspicious.

Although he wasn’t directly protecting him, Gabriel’s death here would have ramifications on him, but his own status was high, Duke Bloodthorn wouldn’t go so far as to deal with him, rather, he would try to appease him.

But precisely because of this, he was embarrassed and angry.

Reina had already returned to his original form, arms crossed, his face dark.

Albert hesitated slightly, then also reverted to his true self, "Now I want to see how you’re going to squirm your way out of this."
