This is not mechanical ascension.

"This guy, couldn't be - Qinglong, right?" Babalol felt sour in his heart and had no fighting spirit at all.

According to his original prediction, with the strength Qinglong showed last time, it would not be a big problem to defeat the opponent.

Even if he has a lot of hidden strength, even with Anduin's strength, he can escape unscathed.

But now, if no one can see it, the arm is gone. What a slap in the face.

"Qinglong's territory, Qinglong's base, if it's not him, who else could it be?" Anduin looked complicated.

I was equally frightened.

"He--couldn't he have discovered us a long time ago and deliberately gave us a blow." Barbarol couldn't help but said.

Anduin glanced at him and could see that Barbarol had no intention of fighting. In such a mood, it was easy to overthink.

"Not so much -" Anduin shook his head, "Looking at the ruins around me, I guess something is out of control. In order not to cause too much damage, I can only restrain the energy in this area."

His conjecture was reasonable. Barbarol looked around and breathed a sigh of relief.

"However, it is precisely this kind of coincidence that can give us a glimpse of the background of Qinglong." Anduin looked solemn: "

This guy hides too deeply, and every time he brings out the strength that is just right to solve the current crisis. "

"If he can create this kind of space-time matrix and resist this kind of energy fluctuation, no wonder the empire invites him."

Although Anduin didn't say anything, he was still curious about Qinglong's situation in his heart, so he allowed Barbarol to come and challenge him.

His original intention was to act like a good guy, and if the situation was not right, he would jump out and gain Qinglong's favor, but the current situation was beyond his expectation.

"Fortunately, I have more back-ups—""

In the core area, Li Ming was still frightened. The Tanwei was as clean as new and his whole body was wrapped in golden light.

In the past, he could easily melt the energy that superimposed the metal shell that protected him, but now it was difficult to break through the thin energy shield on his surface.

And he looked at one thing in the control system [Life Power Core--S Class (Seriously Damaged)]

And its ability is - [Source of Immortality: After suffering fatal damage, the controlled object will suffer severe trauma, erase the physical damage, restore the body's various values ​​to their peak state, and obtain a three-second [Immunity] state. 】

[Immunity: Any type of damage cannot cause any damage. 】

A special item he upgraded very early, the original body is the [Mechanical Secondary Heart], and it is also a control object in the main battle system that replenishes physical strength.

Due to his acting style and various reasons, this ability has never been activated. Until today, three seconds of [Immunity] is equivalent to an invincible golden body. However, three seconds cannot last long in this continuous explosion of terrifying energy. .

But the time and space lock in this area also affected the [Life Power Core], making [Immunity] originally only last for three seconds.

Under the slowdown of the flow of time and space, it surged to more than thirty or forty seconds, which helped him survive the most terrifying period of the outbreak.

It is considered that the negative halo has become a positive halo. If the level is too high, it may not be affected by the time lock.

What surprised him the most was that the [Source of Immortality] even reshaped Tanwei.

Maybe it's because of the influence of the possession ability. He is the Tanwei, and the Tanwei is him. It's considered a linkage of abilities.

Save a lot of metal energy.

After all, the explosion just now completely annihilated the Tanwei. Not to mention repairing it, not even the wreckage was left.

"The cost of repairing the [Life Power Core] is relatively small. Even if it is seriously damaged, it will only cost 90 million to repair." Li Ming had already begun to think.

"Now I'm exposed to some weird things, and I'm afraid there will be more similar things."

"It is possible to upgrade the [Life Power Core] to strengthen this ability in case of emergencies. If upgraded to level X, I don't know whether [Immunity] will continue to extend its duration or there will be new changes."

He still has time to think about the future because he is aware of the gradually calming energy intensity around him.

It weakens quickly.

Not affected by the time lock, this high-intensity burst will not last long.

He looked at the black barrier outside and couldn't help but sigh. This thing is indeed powerful. The explosion just broke through multiple layers of space, but it was tightly restricted in this area.

"--" The crimson light around him gradually subsided, and he realized that there was a faint golden light wandering in the black symbol mask surrounding him.

"What is that thing?" He was surprised and unsure. Just as he was about to find out, he made a sudden movement and the golden light shield on the surface of his body disappeared.

The [Immunity] duration has expired, but the remaining energy intensity no longer poses a threat to him.

"Huh?" Feeling something strange in his heart, Li Ming suddenly turned his head and saw not far away, in the dark realm,

A red object shimmered.

"Is there anything else?" Li Ming was slightly shaken and tried to rush forward. After slowly floating over, he put it in his hand and was able to control it.

[Oath-Keeping Stone--consumable type: the ultimate creation of the Time Zero clan.

Control conditions: The ability to control 20 billion metal energy - Trinity: Control the other two fragments at the same time, and you can perform [Trinity]. 】

How many? Twenty billion metal energy!

Li Ming's throat rolled. It seemed that this thing was the core.

It's [Trinity] again, he has no control over it, and can't see the specific explanation.

But he didn't have to guess what the other two things were. He must have had the Virgin and the Prophet.

"I guess there are also the Holy Mother's Stone and the Prophet's Stone?"

But, what is the role of this trinity?

I’ve never heard of the Shi Ling Clan...

Li Ming couldn't help but think, and suddenly noticed that the nearby time lock disappeared.

When I looked up, I saw that the black symbol mask collapsed and did not gather together again. Instead, it collapsed in the universe. It had obviously reached its limit.

At the same time, a golden light shot into the distance and landed in someone's hand.

"Anduin?"

The moment he saw the other party clearly, Li Ming's mood changed rapidly. He quietly held the oath-keeping stone in his hand and the stars around him boiled. The area where Li Ming was standing felt as if someone had dug it out of the universe with a big spoon. It goes like a small black hole.

Silent and profound.

Different from the past, the universe has not repaired itself, or the rate of self-repair is very slow. "It has penetrated into the Eternal Abyss." Anduin was surprised, hesitated for a moment, then raised his hand, and a large number of symbols poured out, covering In this area, like needlework, the outlines are intertwined and slowly repaired.

After all, he came without warning, so he had to express his attitude.

"Your Excellency Qinglong——" He took the initiative to feel mental fluctuations and looked at him vaguely.

This mecha again. How much does Qinglong like this type of mecha?

He could tell at a glance that with the strength of this mecha, it was completely impossible to withstand the violent energy in the black ball of light.

The golden barrier should be another means of defense.

"And Barbarol?" Li Ming didn't respond for the first time. His eyes slid from Anduin to Barbarol behind him. His left arm was cut off, and now it had sprouts of flesh, and he was repairing it quickly.

These two people came without warning, and they were not evil. He had no contact with these two people, so he immediately speculated on the bad side.

The strength of these two guys is not bad. Babalol has entered the ultimate path. Conservatively estimated, the normal energy level must exceed 300X.

This is his peak strike, and it is also a very difficult target to break through.

Not to mention Anduin, one of the ten members of the United Organization of Advanced Lifeforms, probably even stronger than Barbarol.

He couldn't beat either of the two guys in front of him.

Li Ming was wary, but he felt something was wrong, especially when Barbarol looked at him with a hint of evasion and guilt.

Anduin also looked solemn. He took action to repair the void, which was obviously to show his attitude and had no ill intentions.

"They seem to have misunderstood something. Did they see the black ball of light that just erupted?"

Li Ming probably understood in his heart, and he glanced at Barbarol's missing broken arm again, feeling a little relieved.

During the moment when the two parties appeared, no one spoke. It wasn't until Li Ming figured it out that his spirit fluctuated, indifferently and calmly: "I didn't expect to see you two so unexpectedly."

"This" A wry smile flashed across Anduin's face, his voice changed, and he turned sideways: "The main reason is Barbarol's strong request to come and meet with you."

Barbaro looked at Anduin calmly, but felt an extremely strong sense of gaze.

The mecha stared at him, and a ray of mental fluctuations spread, "Oh? It turns out to be His Excellency Barbarol. I wonder why you are here?"

"I—" Barbarol's expression quickly calmed down and he said solemnly: "I came here this time to ask Your Excellency Qinglong to help me build a weapon."

Anduin looked at him in surprise.

"Building weapons?" Li Ming remained indifferent, "Really? Why didn't you notify me in advance?"

Barbarol said solemnly: "I don't like to use these technological things. I think it is more sincere to talk in person."

Anduin shook his head. Although it was unexpected, it was also expected.

He has been in contact with Barbarol for a long time. Although this guy is relatively reckless in daily life, he actually has a lot of cleverness.

Otherwise, he would not be involved with some people and come to test Qinglong.

"People like you are really rare." Li Ming was noncommittal and raised his head slightly, absorbing the surrounding metal debris and ruins to form a temporary platform.

The three of them landed on it, Anduin opened the air mask, and the atmosphere was subtle.

"Since you asked me to build a weapon, I wonder if you have brought the materials?" A slightly cold voice came from the mecha.

"Of course I brought it." Babalol looked calm. His left arm had grown immature limbs. He twisted the ring he wore on his right finger, and the space was chaotic.

Crash-a large number of metal pieces fell out and scattered on the ground, with different colors and sizes.

I really brought it with me - Li Ming was surprised. He lowered his head and glanced at it. It was really not an ordinary material, Plutonium alloy, dragon blood alloy, quantum crystal -

They are all extremely precious metal materials, which are enough to make X-level weapons.

"There is still a part that cannot be placed in the folding space, and it is on the way." Barbarol picked out the smart terminal from a pile of things on the ground, shook it, connected to the unstable interstellar network, and called up the order.

Really?

Anduin scanned the screen and was shocked. It was an order from Giant Shield Company. The insurance fee alone exceeded 800 million star coins, and the total value was estimated to be no less than 80 billion star coins.

This guy talks about challenging Qinglong, but he also makes preparations behind his back. If he can't beat him, does he say that he has custom-made weapons for him?

Li Ming was silent for a moment and then said meaningfully: "Your Excellency is well prepared."

Barbarol's face was calm, "I have conflicts with the other two god craftsmen, and I don't like them, but I do admire you, so after preparing the materials, I dragged Anduin over.

2

Anduin's mouth twitched, and he remained silent.

"I will not undertake the manufacture of weapons for the time being." Li Ming shook his head, and Barbaro's face showed regret, "What a pity-

As soon as he opened his mouth, he was interrupted by Li Ming, "But you have come all the way here, and I can't let you go empty-handed. I still have a metal spear in my hand, Ryan's, you shouldn't refuse it, right?"

Ryan's gun?

Barbaro thought, he had never used a gun, and the gun was tailor-made for Ryan by the Empire. The materials used were incompatible with his own energy properties and could not exert the maximum power.

And it was Ryan's weapon, belonging to the Empire, and there might be trouble.

Barbaro subconsciously wanted to refuse, but he sensed some energy fluctuations and fell silent again.

Qinglong was forcing a sale.

Anduin also realized this. No one would believe what Barbaro said.

The total value of these materials of Barbaro is not less than 100 billion star coins, and this is the theoretical market price.

Many materials cannot be obtained through conventional channels, and a lot of favors are needed.

Barbaro has accumulated these materials for a long time. If he had not had a bad relationship with the two god craftsmen, he would have been able to make them long ago.

If Barbaro refused, Qinglong might tear his face, but Anduin felt normal. Barbaro's purpose was not pure, so he would naturally pay the price.

"That gun seems to be pretty good--" Barbaro was silent for a long time before he reluctantly said.

Although he had never used this kind of weapon, it would be okay to practice it when he returned. As for the incompatibility of energy properties, there was nothing he could do. After all, it was an x-level weapon, and its hardness was not bad.

Barbaro also knew that he was in the wrong. Now it was clear that he was not Qinglong's opponent. The energy intensity just now could directly annihilate him.

"You have good eyes." Li Ming smiled and said, "Come on, both of you, go down and sit down and take a look at the Gun of Annihilation.

2

Barbarol looked like he was constipated. He really shouldn't have agreed to that guy.

Anduin spoke up and tested: "I didn't expect that Lord Qinglong's attainments in time and space are so exquisite that he can arrange the time and space isolation matrix at will."

Time and space isolation matrix? It turns out that the blockade has reached that level.

Li Ming was more and more surprised. He was in the core and didn't know the situation outside.

At this moment, he noticed Anduin's test and said frankly: "I made a fool of myself. I was doing an experiment here, but I couldn't control it well. There was a small accident. I can only try my best to limit the damage to a small part."

It was out of control. Anduin was not surprised. He felt that Barbaro's trip was not in vain. By mistake, he really tested the clues of Qinglong.

Only in such an unexpected situation can the true background of Qinglong be seen.
