This is not mechanical ascension.

Abel was breathing heavily, his body was covered in blood and flesh, and the horror of facing death at close range was not so easy to erase.

This was the first time since his birth that he had experienced death at such a close distance, and he would naturally remember it forever.

Ryan's indifferent expression appeared in front of his eyes, and a seed of hatred began to sprout.

He will return it sooner or later!

Abel's body floated up uncontrollably, and was then taken away by Gaint who fell down. He glanced at Li Ming with lingering fear.

As Kostat walked over, blood-colored barriers rose on both sides, and then gradually enveloped the two of them.

In the sky, Dius and Crowe appeared, one on the left and one on the right, following Ryan into the imperial aircraft, seemingly acting as a check and balance.

Li Ming was wary. Although Costate didn't seem to have any ill intentions towards him, unexpected things happened many times and he didn't know what the prince's purpose was.

"Do you still keep in touch with Mr. Qinglong?" Costat asked calmly.

"Wait a moment." Li Ming's voice came out.

Kostat was surprised that Li Ming's voice didn't have any ripples at all, after such a fierce collision just now,

Not injured?

To what extent does this mecha's kinetic energy and energy barrier reach?

Then I heard Li Ming say: "Can you open a small crack in this barrier -"

"I'm sorry." Costa said slightly, and a small crack opened in the bloody barrier above his head. After waiting for a while, Qinglong's voice came: "Your Excellency Costate..."

"Your Excellency Qinglong, I'm so sorry." Costart looked sincere, "I didn't expect Ryan to take action suddenly. I apologize to you on his behalf."

The apology had to be covered with a curtain. Li Ming muttered something strange. He didn't expect Costate's attitude to be so low.

This is very wrong. Even if Costat doesn't want to intensify the conflict, he doesn't have to be so humble.

"Prince, don't worry, some things are bound to happen." Li Mingyi pointed out, and then said: "However, I really didn't expect that this Prince Ryan is so murderous that he even wants to kill Abel."

Qinglong's attitude was very gentle, and Costat had no choice but to smile bitterly.

Since Polk's words were lies to him, the first suspect in attacking the Imperial base to take away or kill Nicholas was Qinglong.

Over the past forty days, he had figured out the ins and outs. Probably figured it out.

The grudge between Qinglong and Nicholas is not complicated. It originated from the ruins of a certain civilization and involved the death of a certain descendant of Nicholas.

To be honest, he didn't think Nicholas did anything wrong.

It’s just that Qinglong is hidden too deeply. If he showed his current strength from the beginning, Nicholas would definitely not face him.

On the matter of Nicholas, both of them knew each other tacitly, and Costart did not delve into it, but just said:

"I hope Your Excellency Qinglong can work with me to clarify this misunderstanding to the outside world later. After all, it is Prince Ryan's relatives who disappeared. It is understandable that he acted impulsively."

"This is what it should be." Li Ming agreed decisively, but was also unwilling to continue to aggravate Yu Dun.

Costat's eyes flashed, and he hesitated for a moment when he lifted the blood barrier. He had experienced two betrayals on the spot, which had left a psychological shadow on him.

There is a large pit in the center of the battlefield, which is the center of collision between Li Ming and Rui En. The edges are smooth, with squirming black and white lines, shining with strange light, intertwining and changing in an elusive pattern.

Every squirming movement is accompanied by subtle energy fluctuations, creating some kind of communication with the surrounding space.

The World Tree is repairing the damage caused by the battle just now, and there is still a void crack in the center.

If Costat hadn't stopped it right away, the hole would have expanded hundreds of times.

The two of them landed on the edge, and Costart looked very unhappy. He could see many living beings dragging their broken limbs and mourning. This was still relatively far away, and only a trace of the aftermath was felt.

A considerable number of life forms were directly annihilated in the energy wave that exploded at the beginning.

"Your Excellency, Prince Costate, what do you think of the damage caused by Prince Ryan's sudden attack and refusal to fulfill your promise?"

A media reporter with blood on his face came forward. His face was pale, his legs were trembling, and one of his arms was gone. He still held on and asked.

"This is a misunderstanding." Kostat looked calm. He knew that someone was recording further away.

"In the attack not long ago, one of Prince Ryan's close relatives died without a burial place, so he had some misunderstandings about Lord Qinglong, but now it has been made clear."

"That's right." Li Ming spoke at the right time, and the burly mechanical body buzzed: "This is indeed a misunderstanding.

I can also empathize with Prince Ryan's grief at losing a loved one. "

Costant breathed a sigh of relief. Finally, there was someone who did not betray him. Then he took over the words: "Due to the consequences of Prince Ryan's grief, we are willing to bear all the compensation."

"Then, what do you think about the accusation of dominating the Holy Elephant and the declaration of the leader - Polk?" Seeing that Costant had a mild attitude, more media reporters came forward.

I have to say that these people are very dedicated. At this level, they dare to ask.

Prince Costate frowned slightly, Diaz had already left, and several external spokespersons, gathered by soldiers, took over the place.

The two were surrounded and left.

Then, Li Ming also released the mechanical body on his body, and the four kings fell down, with obvious signs of damage on their bodies.

The metal shell was pitted and even broken in some places, and the jagged fractures flashed with electric sparks and made a sizzling sound.

The energy transmission pipeline is also damaged in many places. The leaked energy light appears and disappears intermittently, appearing extremely unstable. The armor at the mechanical joints is shattered, making a heavy friction sound when rotating, and may fall apart at any time.

Normal repair may cost a lot of metal energy, but the kings of heaven can share his blessing and use the restoration blessing to repair it automatically.

As the strength of the material increases, although the recovery speed is a bit slower, at least no metal energy is used.

But this time, directly bringing the possibility level of Qinglong to the divine craftsman, the benefits will be immeasurable, but it will take time to be realized.

The most important thing right now is to get out of here, including the tank guards, which have been seriously damaged, and whether they are worn or not, they can't resist Ryan's attack again.

But with the [Life Power Core], this thing can withstand a fatal attack and still leaves room for maneuver. "Oh, your teacher is laughing." Costart's eyes swept over him and looked at the mechanical bodies. She was submerged in his body. While she was puzzled, she was also more and more surprised.

Li Ming actually had only a few injuries.

Qinglong·——Qinglong·——·

"I hope he doesn't have any grudges," Costart continued.

"You're too polite." Li Ming muttered in his heart. Costart's attitude was a little too gentle.

Don’t you doubt that Qinglong was behind this series of events?

Or is this old boy planning something?

"Teacher admires the Empire very much and thinks it is the leader of interstellar civilization." Li Ming echoed, wondering about the other party's intentions.

Costart smiled and was about to speak when his expression changed slightly.

Li Ming also noticed something. He raised his head late and saw another crack appeared in the sky, and a silver river poured in.

If you look closely, you will see that it is a densely packed mechanical body, like a raging torrent of metal. Each mechanical body shines with a cold luster, and the complex lines and components on the body are dazzling.

They were so numerous and boundless that they soon covered half of the sky. Among them were thousands of huge mechanical bodies with a height of one kilometer, which were extremely eye-catching. They were not human-shaped, but resembled octopuses.

The huge body is like suspended metal mountains, full of a sense of oppression. The thick mechanical tentacles stretch out wantonly. Each tentacle is inlaid with dense energy crystals, shining with a breathtaking light.

The huge head is a sphere composed of complex metal structures and light patterns. Countless sensors and scanning devices are distributed on the sphere.

The surface of the body is covered with thick armor, with mysterious patterns or energy transmission lines etched on the armor.

"The Mechanical Soul Master!" Costart's face was gloomy.

The remaining media reporters are almost desperate. Isn’t this over yet?

boom!

A tall humanoid mechanical body landed like a meteor, with a compelling power, its eyes swept over Li Ming.

Not dead?

The master craftsman was a little surprised. The previous carrying body was not very powerful and was directly annihilated in the aftermath. He did not see what happened next.

Did Costat step in to stop it?

The master craftsman of Mechanical Soul was thinking in his heart, and the shock and anger in his heart subsided a little.

Costate asked head-on: "Your Excellency, Master Craftsman, have you forgotten the agreement we signed at the beginning? Without permission, your private armed forces are not allowed to enter the central world."

"I have not forgotten, but Prince Ryan killed our carrier, which is equivalent to a slap in the face." The Mechanical Soul Master's attitude was very strong, "And regarding the death of the Hammer Forger, you have to give me an explanation!"

They are really both enemies and friends, Li Ming secretly sighed, and the Mechanical Soul Master jumped out and fired the first shot.

Costart looked ugly and shouted: "This matter still needs to be investigated."

He wanted to deny it, but he couldn't deny it. Countless living beings saw the self-destruction of the ruling icon.

That is the most loyal servant of the hammersmith.

"Is there anything else to investigate? The empire must give us an explanation." The Mechanical Soul Master's attitude was strong, and his eyes fell on Li Ming again, "Also, a prince, shameless, sneak attack on an A-level life form."

Are you supporting yourself?

Li Mingyi quickly thought that this was solicitation, so he remained silent.

"Do you want to go to war with the empire?" Prince Costart stared at him coldly.

The Mechanical Soul Master snorted coldly, "Threatening people with war is indeed the end of the road.'

He did not press further, but turned around and left. The mechanical legion covering the sky quickly submerged into the crack.

Li Ming looked at it with envy in his heart. Wherever he went, there were thousands of mechanical bodies accompanying him. This was the master craftsman.

"I'm sorry, Mechanical Soul's attitude is a bit worse." The creator of the craftsman appeared out of nowhere, changed into a similar carrier, and spoke in a very gentle tone.

Costart's expression softened, and the creator looked at Li Ming, "Tell your teacher that we look forward to meeting him."

"In addition, Your Majesty the Prince, I would like to inform you in advance that the association is already drafting a statement of inquiry. Perhaps, we will evacuate the empire."

Kostat's calmed expression turned stiff again. Compared to the tough attitude of the Mechanical Soul Master, this soft knife made him feel more uncomfortable.

He hesitated to speak, but at this point, his gentle attitude was of no use, and he ended up expressionless.

"My teacher also admires these two master craftsmen very much and often mentions them in front of me." Li Ming said immediately.

Respect? The creative craftsman nodded with satisfaction.

It can be seen from the side that Qinglong should be a rising star. Qinglong is very mysterious. The only external contact point is Li Ming. Any words can give some clues.

However, it seems now that he has become a master craftsman not long ago, and his accumulation and foundation are still lacking.

The two talked for a few more words, and Li Ming's humble attitude won a lot of favor. The creative craftsman also said to Costat: "He is a good prospect for mechanics. I hope there will be no more accidents."

Costart just snorted.

Li Ming carefully considered his words. It was enough to make Qinglong become a master craftsman. He didn't want to make him too strong. After today's end, the interstellar will inevitably undergo a wave of big changes. If he is too strong, he may be paid special attention to.

It’s better to fill in the bragging slowly first.

After the divine craftsman left, Li Ming chatted with Costart before preparing to leave.

If you don't leave here, you will still feel uneasy after all. You always feel like that old brat Ryan is watching you secretly, ready to strike a fatal blow at any time.

Costat insisted on sending someone to the docking station of the spaceship, but Li Ming refused because he did not want to attract too much attention. He just changed his mimicry appearance and disappeared into the crowd.

After finding a secluded place, Li Ming directly started the [Dimension Shuttle Engine] and ran first as a courtesy.

Before leaving, he didn't forget to send a message to Robin, agreeing to meet up.

In the imperial aircraft, Prince Ryan looked at Dius and Crowe in front of him with an indifferent expression, "You also have friendship with Qinglong?"

"To be honest, I've never seen it before." Dius sat in mid-air with a lazy posture, his left leg resting on his right leg.

"Then why are you stopping me?" Ryan said coldly.

Dius smiled: "First, it's because of Costart's request. We are all old acquaintances, so we can't just ignore it. Second, selling the magic craftsman who has never met before is just a small favor. fine."

The sides of Ryan's cheeks twitched, and there was a third reason why they would love to see the Empire embarrassed.

He suddenly turned his head, looked at Costate who was walking in, and said sarcastically: "How about it, what benefits did Lord Qinglong grant you?"

Kostat ignored him, looked at Dius and Crowe, and said in a deep voice: "You two, I will suggest that the Empire applies for an emergency blocking order from the Interstellar Alliance and bans relevant information on the Interstellar Network."

"Otherwise, allowing these things to circulate on the interstellar network today will lead to unpredictable consequences."

"I hope you two can clarify the interests and risks to the higher-ups. You are all witnesses. You should be able to see that there are extraordinary forces behind today's incident."
