Star Ocean: Starting from the Abandoned Mining Space Station.

Chapter 361 Destruction
The dark underground cavity cannot be directly observed with the eyes.

But the impact of the destruction is as blinding as a bright spotlight.

Chen Ming must first find a way to break through the destruction zone created by the destruction core before he can deal with the laboratory that is confined in this underground hollow area.

In order to pass through this circle of destruction, he could either use high-strength psychic special materials to resist the impact of the destructive waves like the mechanical clan did, or break through by force.

Or they could directly see through the essence of the mechanical race's actions and use pure psychic energy fluctuations to offset the destructive fluctuations.

The second method seems to be a solution that suits the psychic style.

But as far as Chen Ming could see, the mechanical race was definitely using some technical means to stimulate the effect of the destruction core and construct this circle of area.

It is definitely not a wise approach to use one's own strength to fight against the antimatter reactor and antimatter engine.

And the first method.

Although special-grade materials themselves are still quite rare.

However, ever since Chen Ming began to let the Zerg participate in the development of resources along the way, the development of special resources is no longer as difficult as before.

The Zerg he left behind on the different planets where resources were discovered could reproduce efficiently and, of course, could also mine the resources.

Therefore, Chen Ming's resource inventory has increased recently.

Moreover, the materials for the bio-powered armor that Chen Ming developed and manufactured some time ago and has been using are also changing with the changes in material inventory and the degree of evolution of the Zerg.

Bio-powered armor has always used top-notch special materials with psychic properties.

In other words, the method Chen Ming should choose now is actually the first one, which is to rush in directly.

Of course Chen Ming is not that reckless.

He continued to use his powerful perception ability to confirm the internal environment structure of the laboratory.

Soon, Chen Ming finished the investigation and consciously thought about the next steps to take after entering the laboratory.

He wrapped the psychic energy fluctuations around the inside of the armor to fill in any holes the armor itself might have, and the Queen of Insects' psychic energy also acted on him.

His body burst out with powerful strength and speed, breaking out of the ground, rushing into the area shrouded in destruction, and rushing towards the mechanical clan's laboratory.

The destructive psychic energy acted on the armor covering Chen Ming, neutralizing the psychic properties of the armor material and continuously destroying the armor's structure.

The destructive psychic power will make Chen Ming's repair psychic power ineffective, but Chen Ming can still manually control the materials to fill the damaged parts of the armor and offset the impact of the destruction.

The distance between the edge of the underground cavity and the outer layer of the inner laboratory, that is, the width of the destruction area, is not very long.

With sufficient protection, Chen Ming relied on the powerful bio-powered armor to break through the destruction zone in just a moment.

He broke the wall of the laboratory with one punch and entered the interior of the laboratory.

Although the process just now caused pits and bumps to be left on his biological armor, it also caused some of the armor structures that were not destroyed or damaged to have their psychic properties erased in various ways.

But all the damage was restored the moment Chen Ming left the destruction area.

In the laboratory, an alarm sounded.

However, there were no mechanical units on both sides of the pure white corridor where Chen Ming was at this time.

After all, the destruction zone is far more powerful than the mechanical units. If someone can break through the destruction zone, then there is no point in using ordinary mechanical units to stop them.

However, several simple defense systems inside the laboratory were automatically activated, but they were immediately shut down after Chen Ming reached out and took control of the laboratory.

However, he soon discovered that the laboratory belonged to the laboratory, and the room inside the laboratory where the destruction core was installed belonged to that device and was an independent structure.

He couldn't control it directly through the laboratory.

But it’s not a big problem. Since his real body has come here, he intends to take the risk.

Chen Ming stayed there for a while, wanting to see if the mechanical clan would make any further big moves.

But he didn't encounter anything, as if the mechanical clan really had no intention of stopping him and allowed Chen Ming to enter the laboratory and approach the device.

This situation made Chen Ming feel something was wrong, and it increased his vigilance and made him pay more attention to his ability to sense danger.

There was just one small problem now. His consciousness had almost been completely overwhelmed by the sense of danger brought about by the destruction core.

There is no way around it. After all, the power of the destructive core is the most terrifying.

He could only pay more attention to other dangers that were obscured by the danger of destruction.

Under the dual effects of Chen Ming's perception and psychic power, Chen Ming opened a fast passage inside the laboratory between him and his target, the device equipped with the destructive core.

It allows him to reach the core area of ​​the laboratory as quickly as possible.

On the way, Chen Ming did not encounter any obstruction from the mechanical people.

Or it’s not that easy to have it.

Not only has Chen Ming already taken control of the laboratory, but also because the outside of the laboratory is all destruction zones, it takes a little effort for Chen Ming to get in. Unless the mechanical clan directly stops the operation of the destruction core, they will have to face the same problem as Chen Ming.

The mechanical race didn't seem to have such plans, so they had no way of interfering further.

Just let Chen Ming reach the center of the laboratory.

The core of destruction exuding a terrifying aura is right ahead.

Before Chen Ming faced the impact of the destruction core, a large amount of silent alloy liquid suddenly appeared in front of him out of thin air, blocking in front of him and forming two huge and heavy mechanical arms.

Without any hesitation, Chen Ming controlled one of the robotic arms to touch the device in the center, and the other one reached directly to the core of destruction.

His intentions were quite clear.

However, the mechanical clan, which had been silent, finally took action before Chen Ming was about to end it all.

The device on the surface that Chen Ming thought was just for camouflage was suddenly activated. A layer of psychic energy fluctuations that was visible to the naked eye and almost condensed into substance penetrated all substantial structures and formed a spherical barrier that was blocking everything around it.

In the blink of an eye, the entire underground destruction area, the laboratory inside, and Chen Ming in the laboratory were all covered.

But just when the spherical barrier was about to be completely blocked, the last gap on its surface could not be completely blocked. The efficiency of the psychic energy seemed to stagnate suddenly, but the equipment ran even more violently than before.

The device on the surface seemed to be on the verge of overload in just a few seconds, and was forced to open the casing of the device to dissipate heat.

The moment the device is opened, one can see from the gap between the outer shells that there is a spherical object emitting strong psychic energy fluctuations inside.

This is also a psychic core.

Chen Ming has already felt its specific effects.

Chen Ming, who was underground at this time, felt a tearing sensation that went straight to the essence of his consciousness the moment the device on the surface was activated.

He immediately understood that the capabilities of the device on the surface were exactly the same as those of the underground device, but it was camouflaged on the outside to lead Chen Ming to misjudge.

Chen Ming mistakenly believed that the mechanical race wanted to use the destruction core and jump device to achieve special effects.

The real function of the device on the surface is to activate the internal psychic core related to consciousness and block the consciousness of all beings around it.

It is precisely because of its function that it conflicts with Chen Ming's consciousness.

However, Chen Ming's consciousness in his original body is not complete and whole.

His consciousness also exists in other places at the same time.

This resulted in the device being unable to completely destroy Chen Ming's consciousness, so the operation of the device got stuck and overloaded.

But the equipment prepared by the mechanical race is still trying its best to cut off the connection between his original consciousness and other consciousnesses.

If his consciousness was really cut off, the impact would be extremely negative.

Although Chen Ming has been actively cutting his consciousness and throwing it into different bodies.

But these severed consciousnesses all maintain a connection with each other and are part of Chen Ming himself. Only in this way can each consciousness be able to call upon complete spiritual power at will.

If consciousness is cut, not only will the effect of psychic power be limited, but it will also affect the structure of Chen Ming's consciousness body. Given Chen Ming's current condition, the consequences will be disastrous.

Chen Ming really had no way to solve the problem of the equipment itself in a short period of time.

He went straight to the real target, the Destruction Core, and did not even touch the device on the surface that was obviously a trap.

The mechanical clan was very clever and placed another trap inside this obvious trap, causing Chen Ming to not pay any attention to it.

The equipment on the surface was powered by antimatter energy for half a day.

Using human consciousness to fight against antimatter reactors is obviously not a rational idea.

Although Chen Ming really wanted to do this, his current condition did not allow him to do so.

Because his state of consciousness is very special.

His consciousness is like a ball of yarn. It is difficult to cut it in half directly.

But when several threads of Chen Ming's consciousness, this ball of wool, extended out to different places and became a smaller ball of wool.

It is much easier to cut the threads connecting these small balls of yarn to the big ball of yarn.

What Chen Ming is now doing is equivalent to using the strings between the balls of wool to counteract the energy of the antimatter reactor.

There is nothing wrong with using a ball of yarn to make a reactor, but using a piece of string to make a reactor is just something you should just think about.

If Chen Ming doesn't want the connection between consciousness to be cut off.

Either he concentrates all his consciousness on his body, or he lets the consciousness on his body leave, or he lets the mechanical device directly cut off his consciousness.

The third option is simply ruled out.

Chen Ming probably still had a few seconds to consider what to do.

In just a few seconds.

A large robotic arm made of Silent Alloy by Chen Ming has reached the underground device.

However, this underground device also has problems.

Its outer shell and internal structure are separated, and controlling the outer shell alone cannot directly control the entire device.

Especially the energy progress bar that Chen Ming had seen on the outer shell before, it was also fake.

This progress bar is purely for deception. No matter when Chen Ming sees it, it will always be an approximate progress.

This is a trick that takes advantage of people's psychology and disguises itself as something that looks urgent and has a progress bar, making Chen Ming feel that he must stop it from working.

It was a trap used to lure Chen Ming underground so as to take advantage of this unprecedented opportunity to block Chen Ming's consciousness.

The mechanical clan really guessed that Chen Ming’s true form might not be his true form, so they made such an arrangement.

Even if Chen Ming may have other consciousnesses, at least the part of his consciousness that has run here must be destroyed here.

Of course Chen Ming was not surprised either.

He knew from the beginning that this was definitely a troublesome trap set by the Mechanical Clan.

But in order to destroy the core, he decided to step in.

Because he has truly witnessed the power of destruction.

The other robotic arm continued to struggle towards the core of destruction and was about to touch it.

But Chen Ming also realized at this time that his mechanical arm would definitely not have time to touch the core of destruction before the consciousness body was cut off.

Not to mention that he was only touching the Destruction Core instead of controlling it.

He had to make a decision.

Chen Ming did not hesitate any longer, and a flash of blue and red appeared in his consciousness space.

Then he suddenly gathered all the scattered consciousness and integrated them all into the body.

Right now.

The boss who was processing the latest documents suddenly stopped, looked at the robot next to him, and then looked at the terminal sent by Chen Ming in the drawer, frowning. The robot controlled by Chen Ming in the headquarters suddenly stopped working. The director of the Ship Research Institute and the director of the Psionic Research Institute, who were discussing the further development of phase ships and psychic energy at the meeting next to them, looked at it in confusion.

Chen Ming's prosthesis, who was in the front-line command room, suddenly lowered his head as if he had fallen asleep and remained silent.

Qiu Bowen seemed to sense something. He turned his head and looked at Chen Ming with confusion and surprise in his eyes.

He immediately came to Chen Ming, shook Chen Ming's shoulder, and released his mental power to test it.

He came to a conclusion that shocked him greatly.

Could it be that An Wuping and Chen Ming are half-brothers?

This special situation immediately made him think of a special situation, hive thinking.

Chen Ming certainly knew what problems would arise if he suddenly took all his consciousness back into his body.

But the groundwork he laid earlier using An Wuping's identity was enough.

Only people will know that he has a mechanical hive network similar to An Wuping's Zerg hive network.

Even the structure of this mechanical hive mind network seemed to outsiders to be something that was thought up by others rather than something he created himself.

He has considered the consequences, and now he should do what he wants to do if he is willing to bear the consequences.

Give it a try.

See what kind of trap the mechanical tribe has prepared for him.

Chen Ming completely gathered his consciousness, and at the moment when the consciousness blockade area was formed, he smashed the outer shell of the underground device with one fist and reached out to control the more core structure.

But just as he smashed the shell, a sudden sense of danger hit him.

His arm simply sublimated and disappeared into the air.

A ball of dazzling matter made Chen Ming immediately retreat dozens of meters.

He also built a steel wall in front of him that completely blocked the laboratory structure, and the thickness of the wall was also tens of meters.

He covered the charred gap of his broken arm and wiped off the armor material that had melted into molten iron due to the terrifying high temperature.

Continue to look towards the laboratory through perception.

The other end of the laboratory had completely lost its basic structure, leaving only heat and destruction.

The matter that suddenly appeared just now is the core material of the stars in this galaxy.

The devices deployed by the mechanical race on the surface are not just disguises, they really have their functions and are truly connected to the interior of the star.

The mechanical race is not just planning to send destruction to the stars, their idea is to send the matter inside the stars here.

They use the power of the star to destroy the Destruction Core, causing the Destruction Core to explode with all the power contained within it when it is destroyed.

Destruction will destroy everything.

The Destruction Core has been damaged by the power of the star.

An unsuppressible, unrestricted wave of destruction has begun to dissipate from within.

The power of the star is also destroyed by the destruction while activating the destruction.

Chen Ming didn't think much about it and rebuilt his body and armor.

He continued to build a larger layer of silent alloy armor on the outer layer of the biological armor. He was like a solid block of iron, penetrating the iron wall he created and approaching the location of the core of destruction.

The Silent Alloy can temporarily resist the effects of destruction, but the structure of the alloy is constantly being destroyed as Chen Ming approaches the core of destruction.

He has called up all the stocks of Silent Alloy and used them all at the moment to completely wrap up the Destruction Core.

The core of destruction was like a source that continuously spread radiation, and Chen Ming was about to use thick lead to confine it before proceeding with the subsequent processing.

However, just as his Silent Alloy was about to wrap around the Destruction Core.

The core of destruction once again erupted with terrifying power, tearing apart the surrounding silent alloy and destroying everything around it.

Chen Ming reacted extremely quickly and retreated again, once again creating a solid wall that was enough to make Destruction sigh.

After this wave of destructive power ended, he quickly approached again and wrapped the destructive core once again with the remaining silent alloy material.

This time, Chen Ming deliberately left a hole in one direction to allow the destructive power to overflow.

And the core of destruction burst out with power again as before.

This force went towards the ground in the direction arranged by Chen Ming, completely destroying the devices left by the mechanical clan on the surface.

The barrier that blocked Chen Ming's consciousness disappeared immediately.

If Chen Ming wants to leave, he can leave at any time.

But he didn't want to.

He had experience in controlling the black fog core and knew that this psychic core was very similar to the spirit stone in nature.

He can try to use his own power to limit the core of destruction and restrain the energy of destruction that is escaping.

Even though the effects of the destruction were terrible, while Chen Ming was suppressing it with his mental power it was also causing damage to Chen Ming's own mental power.

Even some scars appeared on Chen Ming's consciousness.

But Chen Ming still didn't give up.

While he was suppressing the destructive core that had not yet fully released its power, he also allowed part of his consciousness to dissipate and go to other places to get help.

He used all the means he knew to increase his mental strength and psychic effects.

Whether it is the fairy tree, spirit stone, ship spirit, condensed spiritual energy source, or drugs and devices that stimulate mental power, all that can be used will be used.

But the core of destruction was becoming increasingly difficult to suppress. The power of the star destroyed the structure of the core of destruction. Even part of the destructive waves had spread to the surrounding areas of Chen Ming's scattered consciousness with the help of his consciousness.

If Chen Ming had not taken back all the consciousnesses before and only allocated the consciousnesses to his own territory.

At this time, there are probably many places in the empire that would like to experience with Chen Ming what he is experiencing now.

The biological and Silent Alloy composite armor on Chen Ming's body were about to be completely destroyed and stripped off.

Even the concept of vacuum is being destroyed in the surrounding environment.

The area around Chen Ming had been destroyed and turned into an area of ​​"nothingness".

Only Chen Ming and the Core of Destruction were left.

Gradually, Chen Ming discovered that the power spread by the core of destruction was gradually weakening.

But this is not a good sign.

Because he discovered that the destruction was destroying the barrier between the normal universe and other dimensions.

Destruction is erasing the barrier between the Crimson Dimension and the normal universe.

It's not just the scarlet dimension and the normal universe, the destruction even created a rift between the phase space and the normal universe.

The power of destruction is acting on space.

Even though the gap between the normal universe and the scarlet dimension is only less than one millimeter in diameter, the negative impact it brings is immeasurable.

The previous dimensional infection was essentially a projection of the scarlet dimensional power into the normal universe.

And if we continue to allow destruction to destroy the barriers between dimensions, this may be the final result.

It's a dimensional invasion.

Chen Ming knew that he must not let this happen.

The moment his armor completely collapsed, he reached forward and grasped the core of destruction in his hand.

His body turned to ashes in an instant.

But his consciousness still held the core of destruction firmly in his hand, and held the location where the core of destruction was collapsed in his hand.

Horrible scars appeared on Chen Ming's consciousness.

But he still did not let go, instead he continued to hold the core of destruction tightly.

The injuries on his consciousness body were not only constantly appearing, but were also constantly repairing themselves.

This is not only the result of Chen Ming's mental strength, but also the ship spirit constantly helping him.

at this time.

The ship spirit appeared beside him.

Along with it, various auras filled with power also appeared on his body.

It was the phantom of the ship spirit that appeared here with all the resonating spirit stones belonging to Chen Ming.

Frantic words, fear and resentment, and a soul-eating object sent by Bian Gaoxuan.

Just as Chen Ming was wondering what the boat spirit was going to do, he saw cracks appearing on these spiritual stones that were extremely important to him.

The power of the spiritual stone is flowing out and gathering into Chen Ming's body.

Chen Ming looked down and saw that his third condensed spiritual energy source had appeared in the center of his consciousness body.

This was definitely something brought by the ship spirit.

Chuan Ling and Chen Ming would rise and fall together, so he did not have any doubts about Chuan Ling.

Just like that, with a trace of heartache, he completely absorbed the power of the Words of Madness Spirit Stone that had been with him since three years ago, and also absorbed the power of several other resonating spirit stones.

For a moment, Chen Ming saw a thousand-faced phantom. His resentful power existed in the resentful spirit stone.

He should have helped Chen Ming to completely master the power of the Resentment Spirit Stone when he completely killed Zuo Jing's brainwashed psychic.

But at this moment, the last bit of power remaining in the Resentful Spirit Stone appeared here.

"Just die quietly. I will go and kill the real brainwashed psychic."

As Chen Ming finished his words, the thousand-faced phantom disappeared completely.

The power was concentrated in Chen Ming's body.

As long as Chen Ming is given a little more time, he will be able to completely master the power brought by these resonating spirit stones with the help of the ship spirit, and rely on this power that belongs completely to him to control destruction.

however.

Accidents always come faster than tomorrow.

At this moment, a surge of jump waves suddenly appeared in the sky above the mechanical planet where Chen Ming was.

Something is coming.

It was coming with a sense of danger.

Although this sense of danger is not so obvious among the sense of danger that has destroyed the barriers between spaces.

But the portion is generous.

The transition wave ended in an instant.

Chen Ming didn't see anything from the position where the jump ended.

He could only sense a force that was intertwined with scarlet and phase.

He knew what was coming.
