Star Ocean: Starting from the Abandoned Mining Space Station.

Chapter 326 Destruction
After bypassing the location where the phase beast was wreaking havoc.

Chen Ming quickly found the coordinates of the facility used by the Mechanical Clan to create mechanical psychic creatures, which he discovered in the database.

From a distance, Chen Ming could already see a number of mechanical psychic creatures surrounding the facility.

He didn't even know where so many mechanical psychic creatures of the Mechanical Clan came from.

These mechanical psychic creatures, together with some other ordinary mechanical species, were seen destroying the facilities that created the mechanical psychic creatures.

Some are even using various spiritual energies to cause destruction.

The meaning of such behavior is very clear. Things that the mechanical clan cannot protect or take away must not fall into Chen Ming's hands.

Chen Ming did not dare to delay any longer. The shuttle crashed directly without slowing down and landed hard in front of the mechanical biological manufacturing facility.

Like a flood, the liquid metal rushed towards the facilities ahead without reservation, covering the facilities and everything around them.

Chen Ming's psychic power was activated, and the single-molecule data line immediately controlled the mechanical race and buildings here, preventing the mechanical race from self-destructing.

However, Chen Ming's actions were still a little slow. Before the shuttle approached, a large part of the facilities had already been destroyed by the mechanical clan.

Fortunately, Chen Ming still has psychic powers.

After the tide of liquid metal used for control recedes.

Chen Ming activated the maintenance psychic power and tried to repair the mechanical psychic biological transformation facilities of the mechanical race.

However, he discovered something was wrong just as the maintenance began.

The repair progress of his psychic energy could not continue after reaching one third.

His spiritual power, which should have been used to completely repair the entire facility, automatically stopped. Even if Chen Ming wanted to activate the spiritual power again, it was unable to take effect.

It was as if the facilities in front of him had been completely repaired and could not be repaired further.

But what Chen Ming saw before him was a building standing in ruins, with only half of the exterior building and about one-third of the interior facilities remaining.

Only a cabin closer to the center and some nearby equipment were retained in the internal device, and most of the external equipment was still in a damaged state.

There was even a huge gap on the top side of the cabin, and it didn't look like it had been repaired at all.

Although there was so much damage, Chen Ming's spiritual power just couldn't work, and he couldn't repair the remaining damage in any way.

Even if something is destroyed under normal circumstances, as long as there is still a little bit of it that Chen Ming can collect, even if it is just a little dust, Chen Ming can restore the dust to its original appearance.

But now only about two-thirds of it was destroyed, and the remaining one-third remained, which he was unable to repair.

Why is that?
Chen Ming didn't understand and could only mobilize his mental energy to conduct an in-depth exploration of the damaged buildings and facilities.

As soon as his mental power touched the buildings and facilities, he immediately discovered the problem.

His mental power was counterattacked by a special energy fluctuation that remained in the place where the facility building was destroyed.

This was the first time that Chen Ming had seen such an extremely aggressive spiritual energy fluctuation. Even a little bit of it could cause harm to people.

Although it failed to cause any substantial harm to Chen Ming, it did wipe out some of Chen Ming's spiritual power.

It is this psychic energy fluctuation that is preventing his psychic energy fluctuation from continuing to expand.

And this special spiritual energy fluctuation...

Chen Ming immediately checked the mechanical psychic creatures of the mechanical race that he had just controlled.

Sure enough, a mechanical psychic creature with such psychic power was discovered among them.

The effect can probably be simply expressed in two words.

destroy.

Chen Ming immediately used his mental power to flush the entire building, clearing away all remaining spiritual energy fluctuations.

But then he discovered again that his spiritual power still could not work.

It was not that his psychic power had been wiped out again, but that the building and the equipment inside it were within the scope of his psychic power and had already been repaired to the extent that it could be used.

Chen Ming was a little confused for a moment, but after realizing the nature of destructive psychic energy, he understood.

All he could say was that after seeing so many psychics and creatures infected by various dimensions, he thought he wouldn't find any kind of psychic power strange anymore.

But this time, he still had a feeling that I had never seen this thing before.

Because the things that have been erased and destroyed by the destructive psionics have lost any trace of their existence in the concept of psionics.

The foundation of its reality had been destroyed. His psychic powers were unable to locate the destroyed objects at the point in time, and were unable to repair them to that moment, and of course were unable to repair them.

This is a destructive psychic wave that erases the very foundations of reality.

"It's a little scary."

Chen Ming muttered something subconsciously.

Because of the existence of this thing, it is much more deadly to any recovery-type psychic and any ordinary person.

After this kind of psychic energy fluctuations can no longer destroy buildings and facilities, they will remain on the objects affected by the destructive psychic energy. Any creature with individual consciousness, such as humans, that approaches will be attacked by the destructive energy.

This was the first time that Chen Ming had seen such purely offensive psychic power, and it was in the hands of the mechanical race.

If... the new type of ridge-crest cannon on the mechanical family's mothership is of this type... then it would be quite fatal.

Chen Ming immediately picked out the mechanical psychic creature that he had controlled and planned to take it directly to the research area at the highest point. Through his research, he would determine whether to tell the Legion about the news of this destructive psychic power.

However, when Chen Ming took this thing out, he suddenly found that it looked strange.

This mechanical psychic creature is in the shape of a beast, with a large amount of mechanical bristles on its neck.

The face has multiple visual sensors, that is, eyes, distributed randomly across the head.

If you don't look carefully, there seems to be nothing wrong at first glance, but if you look closely, the location of these visual sensors alone is strange enough.

Moreover, when Chen Ming was controlling the batch just now, he didn't notice another strange thing about it.

That was what he had previously thought was a mane. He had thought it was just some decoration formed after the psychic creatures were mechanized.

But in fact, these things are not bristles at all, but some kind of tentacle-like tissue transformed.

Excessive growth of organisms will be accompanied by a large amount of useless muscle tissue, and the most common form of useless muscle tissue that Chen Ming has seen is various tentacles.

This basically confirms that there must be something wrong with this mechanical psychic creature.

Chen Ming has fed the Queen Insect a huge amount of various creatures so far, but he has never seen any creature with tentacles growing on its neck and irregularly arranged eyeballs.

This mutation in the flesh must be related to psionic power or the Crimson Dimension.

It can't be that an entity created by dimensional infection was stuffed into the equipment for modification... It seems possible...

This idea suddenly popped into Chen Ming's mind.

After all, the psychic energy of this mechanical psychic creature is destruction, and it exudes a breath of complete destruction.

This kind of destructive psychic power is understandable if it is applied to humans or entities affected by dimensional infection.

But animals.

The instinct of any animal is to survive. Only humans have emotions that outweigh rationality or have mental problems and self-destructive tendencies, which is why they want to see "destruction".

In the end, it was the dimension infection that caused individuals with destructive psychic powers to be transformed by the mechanical race.

Or was it some kind of creature that was transformed into a mechanical creature and finally installed with a mechanical spiritual nerve with destructive psychic power?
Chen Ming even had some doubts that the mechanical race was also conducting cloning experiments and had created these abstract-looking creatures and transformed them into mechanical individuals.

However, these are just guesses, and he must put more effort into research to confirm what is going on.

Not yet.

After sending away this mechanical psychic creature that destroys psychic energy.

Chen Ming took one last look at the building and the equipment inside, which had only been restored by one-third, and shook his head regretfully, preparing to send this away as well.

But just before Chen Ming sent the equipment away, he suddenly discovered that the part of the facility he had repaired seemed to have triggered some automatic startup system and suddenly started to work.

"what?"

Chen Ming watched as the facility completed its startup self-check and reset itself to the point where it could start up normally at any time.

There was even a small hatch opened at the bottom of the cabin with a huge gap, which seemed to be big enough to stuff some creatures in.

Although he seemed to have repaired the building's reserve energy supply system when he was repairing the building, repairing the energy supply system does not mean that the others have been repaired. Why is it that the main facilities can still operate when only one-third of them have been repaired?

Just like an animal can survive even if it loses two-thirds of its limbs, is this...

Chen Ming hesitated for a moment, but decided not to try to stuff something in for the experiment.

Because from the moment he used his psychic power to control the entire facility and the entire device, he had been analyzing the technology inside the equipment and the principles of its implementation.

However, based on what he had seen in the past two minutes, the technological level of this facility, like many other facilities belonging to the Shining Civilization, had surpassed the technological level he currently possessed.

The most he could do now was to see from the remaining experimental logs in the device that this device used the mechanical family's nanorobot technology.

It is a technology that uses nanorobots to replace the body tissues of living organisms.

Don't know anything else.

He doesn't know the principles of operation or the functions of these structures.

He only knew that if the device could still operate with two-thirds of its components missing, it would be impossible to achieve the same good results as starting the device normally.

God knows what those devices that were dismantled by the mechanical clan were used for, and what will happen if this device is used after losing those devices.

Chen Ming didn't want to do something dangerous when he had a way out.

Although only one third of the facilities are obtained here.

But there is not only one colony on the entire planet. There may be such mechanical psychic-biological transformation equipment in two other colonies.

I just don't know if there are any facilities on those two sides, and whether the facilities can be preserved from the ravages of the phase beasts.

Since Chen Ming has already obtained one third of the facilities, he can use them at any time.

So before he uses this equipment, he should first check whether there are similar facilities on the other two sides.

at this time.

One of the other two large colonies is being ravaged by phase monsters.

After losing the battleship that could fire phase lasers, the Mechanoids did not continue to use phase weapons to fight back against the phase beast. It seemed that the Mechanoids had no means of countermeasures and were completely unable to stop it.

However, since the Phase Beast's combat power mainly comes from the melee ability of its body, and its strong physical fitness allows it to crush the mechanical clan's stronghold with exaggerated efficiency, the overall destruction is not actually thorough.

Just like the colony where Chen Ming is now, it was the first colony destroyed after the arrival of the phase behemoth.

There are still a large number of buildings that still have some remains that have not been completely destroyed.

Therefore, it is indeed possible that the mechanical psychic creature production facilities of the mechanical race still exist in that area.

Of course, now it would be better for Chen Ming to go to another colony that has not been taken as the second target by the phase beast.

Chen Ming didn't want to transfer the phase beast's hatred to himself.

Besides, it is much easier to search in an intact colony than in a ruin.

Without much hesitation.

Chen Ming's shuttle rushed at low altitude towards the last large colony that had not yet been affected by the phase beast.

Although this colony does not seem to have been destroyed by the Phase Beasts for the time being, the Phase Beasts have not come to visit here for the time being.

But in fact, as long as any mechanical spaceship dares to fly more than a certain distance into the air, the phase beasts in the nearby colony will instantly sense that the mechanical spaceship is about to leave the planet.

It will immediately put down the "work" at hand and come to destroy the mechanical fleet that has taken off.

The instantaneous destructive power of the Phase Beast is not great, because it relies on physical impact to attack. However, the speed of the Phase Beast is very terrifying, and it also has the ability to make short-distance jumps.

Any spaceship it targets will not be able to escape no matter what.

Even Chen Ming's shuttle only dared to fly at low altitude.

Unless all the spaceships on the entire planet of the Mechanical Clan take off at the same time, it is possible for some of the spaceships to escape the pursuit of the phase beasts.

But this was possible before.

just now……

Phase monsters have destroyed one colony and have been wreaking havoc on a second colony for some time, razing most of the area to the ground.

With only the third colony still having spaceships, it is impossible for the Mechanoids to escape the pursuit of the Phase Beasts.

As for the mechanical race, they still have to face Chen Ming's fleet in the galaxy, which has disappeared to who knows where.

Because of the Phase Beast, they lost air superiority and control of space, and had no idea where Chen Ming's fleet had gone.

With Chen Ming's fleet watching closely outside, even though the mechanical colony here looked intact, they seemed to have given up on escaping and were waiting to die.

However, Chen Ming didn't believe that the mechanical race would wait for death. They must be preparing some means.

Chen Ming had to be prepared in case the mechanical race used the same methods they intended to use on the phase beasts on him.

Or maybe the mechanical race guessed that he might come over and prepared measures to deal with him in advance.

Of course, no matter which one it is, it will not affect Chen Ming's next move.

He must go to the third colony and try to seize things that belong to the mechanical race.

Relying on the high speed amplified by Chen Ming's psychic energy, the shuttle arrived above the third colony in a blink of an eye.

This time, Chen Ming also became familiar with the combat style of the mechanical race in their own colonies.

Know how to do it most efficiently.

So, the moment the shuttle entered the range of the colony.

A large amount of liquid metal suddenly splashed out from both sides of the shuttle toward the outside world, and he began to use the liquid metal to cover a large area directly from the air.

It doesn’t matter if these metal liquids cannot connect to the afterglow core inside the robot he controls, just cover it with the metal liquid.

As long as the mechanical race cannot clean up the metal liquid, then when Chen Ming releases enough metal liquid and activates psychic power, that will be the end of the mechanical race.

Of course, releasing liquid metal over a large area will definitely cause problems.

For example, the Mechanical Clan would definitely protect places like the Mechanical Clan's control center most closely.

It is even possible to find a way to destroy it yourself in order to avoid being controlled by Chen Ming when necessary, just like what happened just now.

Therefore, Chen Ming has already graded each place in the colony in his mind and determined the importance of control.

While releasing a large amount of liquid metal, his shuttle was also approaching the important location he had divided, the control center of the colony, at a very fast speed.

It’s a pity that Chen Ming didn’t see the mechanical psychic creature transformation device of the mechanical clan here, he only saw some mechanical psychic creatures nearby.

However, he unexpectedly saw another mechanical psychic creature emitting destructive psychic energy fluctuations, which had the same destructive psychic energy fluctuations as the previous mechanical psychic creature.

And this time, the mechanical psychic creature attacked him directly.

The method of attack cannot be observed by the naked eye.

He can only sense through psychic power that a destructive psychic energy wave is about to act on the robot he controls, and it can directly destroy the robot's body at the moment of activation.

This situation made Chen Ming frown subconsciously.

Not because of this attack.

But it was because as far as he knew, all psykers and psionic creatures, although they might possess psionic powers with similar effects, only looked similar.

The capabilities and ultimate effects of each person's psychic powers are definitely different.

For example, there are two psychics who can create fire. One can control something like fire, which is a plasma state, while the other can use entropy to create fire like Hu Yi.

The essence is different.

But in front of Chen Ming, two mechanical psychic creatures with completely identical psychic energy fluctuations appeared. This was not right.

He couldn't say whether the Mechanical Clan had successfully replicated something like the Purgatory Core.

Or is it that dimensional infection is really used to create these things by transforming multiple dimensional infected entities.

After all, the entities that appear due to the dimensional infection basically have similar properties, so creating multiple mechanical psychic creatures should not be a problem.

But Chen Ming didn't know what to say. Anyway, he decided to capture this mechanical psychic creature first. He would have plenty of time to study it slowly later.

At this moment, Chen Ming didn't care at all about the destructive psychic energy fluctuations that were about to affect his robot.

The effectiveness of psychic powers always depends on the psychic user himself.

The mechanical psychic creatures of the mechanical race are not as good at using psychic energy as those psychics that Chen Ming has seen who can compete with him.

Even if the destructive psionic energy has locked onto him.

But when Chen Ming's psychic energy fluctuations swept out from the robot he controlled, this locked psychic energy fluctuation was instantly wiped out.

As long as there is no opportunity for destruction to be stimulated, destructive psychic power is meaningless.

Chen Ming's shuttle once again crashed into the control center of the colony.

The mechanical race's reaction can be said to be quite fast.

Before Chen Ming's shuttle crashed again.

Even when Chen Ming's shuttle just appeared in the reconnaissance range of this colony, the mechanical race here had already begun to self-destruct.

The mechanical race knew that they would have no ability to resist if Chen Ming got close to them, so they attacked Chen Ming if they could, and killed each other if they could not, constantly destroying their own individuals, including the control center.

He would rather destroy it himself than leave it to Chen Ming.

However, in the fire of the shuttle crash and explosion, Chen Ming's robot jumped out.

After using the metal liquid created by psychic energy and the psychic energy fluctuations to hedge against the mechanical psychic creature of the mechanical clan, the use of destructive psychic energy was once again blocked.

The liquid metal gushed out as if it was ignited by explosives, forming an area around Chen Ming that looked like an iron curtain. All the liquid metal was connected to each other at this moment.

Chen Ming's psychic power was activated again, and countless single-molecule data lines became a network covering the mechanical colony.

All the colonies in the area covered by the shuttle's splashed metal liquid fell into Chen Ming's hands.

And this range is expanding rapidly.

Chen Ming was able to repair and renovate an entire human colony in the past, so there is no reason why he cannot do the same when facing the mechanical colony now.

The colony he was controlling now was more complete than the one that had been destroyed by the Phase Beast, and did not require a large amount of materials and mental energy to repair.
So he simply expanded the area covered by the liquid metal until it reached the size of the entire colony.

During the entire process, the mechanical race did not come up with any effective countermeasures, so the destructive psychic power was a slight threat, but it was meaningless.

It seems that most of the mechanical race's defensive means were lost in the conflict they just had with the phase beasts.

Chen Ming was worried that the Mechanical Clan might have some backup plan, but he was just scaring himself.

There is nothing to worry about.

There are not so many in the world...

Chen Ming had just finished thinking halfway when he stopped himself.

After all, he is good at predicting the future, and even if he just thinks about it casually, the mechanical clan may be able to come up with a backup plan.

Fortunately, Chen Ming stopped thinking in time, and the mechanical race still had no backup hidden energy under the successive attacks of the phase beast and Chen Ming.

Only an entire colony controlled by Chen Ming was left.

Although many buildings and mechanical individuals within the colony were demolished by the mechanical people's infighting.

But these demolished things were not demolished by destructive psychic energy, so Chen Ming could still repair them.

And sent this destructive mechanical psychic creature to the highest point

In other words, a part of the control center in front of Chen Ming was destroyed by the destructive psionic power.

But the technology of the mechanical clan's control center has not reached a level that Chen Ming cannot understand, so he can just build a new one to fill it.

Destruction only destroys the past of a thing, it just cannot be repaired, but a new one can still be built.

As the colony was completely occupied by Chen Ming.

Chen Ming's mental power began to be consumed in large quantities, and his psychic power acted on the entire colony.

He wanted to transport everything that could be transported away before the Phase Beast came to destroy it.

An entire mechanical colony disappeared out of thin air in just a few seconds and was moved to the planet where Chen Ming's mechanical colony was originally stationed.

Although the planet where Chen Ming's own mechanical race is located and the mechanical race's colony planet cannot completely match in terms of terrain, the site of the mechanical race colony itself is a plain, and Chen Ming also chose a plain, so there won't be too many problems.

At most, some buildings will collapse, and Chen Ming can just use his spiritual power to repair them.

If there is really no other solution, Chen Ming still has a mechanical personality core "Mechanical Queen" on hand. Although it has no independent consciousness, it has the ability to manage and plan the mechanical colony.

With the cooperation of Chen Ming's psychic power, it will not be a problem to manage the entire colony.

All I can say is that Chen Ming had already been thinking about how to make his own mechanical clan develop faster.

However, if he wanted to develop quickly on the basis of a weak foundation, the best way he could think of was to rob.

This planet of the Mechanical Clan is used for development. It not only stores a lot of development materials, but also has a large number of Mechanical Clan buildings used for development, and buildings for manufacturing Mechanical Clan individuals.

Exactly the same as Chen Ming’s needs.

Although Chen Ming only took away one third of the total colonies on the entire planet, this one third is enough for Chen Ming now.

The only regret is that the colony where Chen Ming moved to did not have the mechanical psychic biological transformation facilities of the mechanical race.

I wonder if the place that was just ravaged by the phase beast has any...

Chen Minggang had a greedy idea.

He suddenly discovered that the phase beast that was supposed to be wreaking havoc in the second mechanical colony was missing.

Suddenly, in his ears, there sounded that was getting closer and closer, as if coming from the deep sea.

That is what Chen Ming thought was the sound made by the phase beast.

The sound was getting closer, and the emotion in it that people could feel personally was becoming clearer and clearer.

An emotion that is a mixture of vigilance, desire, curiosity, anger, fear, and more.

If there were only the first three emotions, Chen Ming might have thought that the phase beasts should be able to live in peace.

But with the following words added to the picture, it’s hard to say what Chen Ming would say.

But at this time Chen Ming's robot had completed its work.

After sending away the Afterglow Core, Chen Ming controlled the robot to wait in place, waiting to see what the Phase Beast would do.

Chen Ming listened to the sound which was gradually becoming deafening in his ears, as if there really was a giant beast that was thousands of meters long roaring, and waited silently.

However, just a few seconds later.

When the sound no longer gets louder.

Chen Ming's robot was suddenly smashed to pieces by a phase monster that could not be observed but did exist in the phase space.
