This is not mechanical ascension.

"It's okay...Thank you, Your Excellency." Li Ming stabilized his body, breathed a long sigh of relief, and handed the gun to Barbarol, "The teacher said that the materials will arrive sooner or later, so you can familiarize yourself with them first."

Barbaro paused, didn't refuse, just passed by, and with a twist of his hand, the black gun body shrank inch by inch, became the length of a palm, and was hung casually on his waist.

"I won't disturb you two when the things are delivered. If you need anything, you can just call Suzaku." Li Ming nodded and exited the room.

After Li Ming left, Barbarol said angrily, "Anduin, you can't do that, I just throw it casually, he will definitely be able to catch it, why do you go out of your way to help him?"

"It seemed like I was targeting a little guy."

Anduin glanced at him, his face more solemn than ever before, a symbol popped up to wrap the two of them, and then he said solemnly: "Li Ming... is already an S-class life form."

Barbarol was stunned for a moment, then horrified. Unstable energy burst out from him. Anduin, with quick eyesight and quick hands, quickly held it down and scolded: "What are you doing!?"

"S-class life form? Did you read that correctly?" Barbarol couldn't believe it, his voice was hard. This was far more surprising than the fact that his arm had been wiped off just now.

"It's absolutely true. Although there is a special energy covering the surface of his body, I took the opportunity to test it." Anduin was also uneasy.

"But, is this possible?" Barbarol still couldn't believe it. "What is his biological age?"

"It can't all be reality, Qinglong..." Anduin sat down slowly, "It's really frightening. This Li Ming's development potential is definitely beyond level 60."

Barbarol's mouth was dry and he suddenly said: "This guy won't become the ultimate life form, will he?"

Anduin suddenly looked at it with a solemn expression, but said: "It's not impossible."

"How could there be such a life form?" Baba sat down. The shock he received this time was really great.

"It's hard to say. It might be an experiment of Qinglong. It's unfathomable." Anduin speculated, then looked at Barbarol meaningfully:

"We are old acquaintances. I don't know who you are contacting secretly, but those people you contact may not be as powerful as Qinglong."

"Of course, I'm not just talking about strength. Think about it for yourself. In the future, the interstellar structure will increasingly tend to be grouped together, and individual strength will be difficult to support alone."

Barbarol looked gloomy and remained silent.

………

"[Shadow Skin] hid it from Barbarol, but it didn't hide it from Anduin... Well, but he also used some means to see my life level..." Li Ming looked at the control page.

He recently upgraded [Shadow Human Skin] to S level, which greatly improved his concealment ability and effect.

Due to the particularity of this mimicry equipment, even if it is an X-level life form, its life level cannot be seen at a glance without special means or even contact inspection.

For now, it's barely enough.

Li Ming then thought: "Austin is a good friend, and he didn't tell his boss that I had become an S-class life form."

He deeply believed in what Anduin said about clinging together. The Chaos Star Gap was quite special and could accommodate several X-level life forms. They were natural allies with each other.

"Well, if we talk about forming a group, the Mechanics Association is also good. I have gained a lot of benefits through their channels during this period..." Li Ming thought about it, "This is a huge force, but it is a pity that it is too difficult to keep it." It’s too late, let’s find a way to delay time first…”

Back in the room, Li Ming had time to carefully study the object in his hand. The red fragment looked nothing special.

There is no way to tell that it can actually burst out that kind of terrifying energy, and the control conditions are as high as 20 billion.

Even for Li Ming now, it is an astronomical figure.

And this thing is just one piece. Controlling this piece alone is of no use; the other two pieces must be added.

The total amount is 60 billion metal energy. Just thinking about this number, Li Ming was secretly speechless.

If you look closely, you can see that its edges are uneven and irregular, with sharp bulges and depressions interlaced with each other.

It was torn off from a solid object with brutal force.

Every break looked so rough, and when Li Ming rubbed it, he could vaguely feel the powerful and irresistible external force at that time.

He recalled the scene he saw in a short period of time. Through the only piece of information, he could probably deduce that this should be a key item created by the so-called Time Zero Clan at the last moment.

"...Yongyuan will not let us go..."

He frowned slightly, Yongyuan was not a force or a living entity, so why would he not let them go? Could this group of people mean the Yuan clan?

Li Ming subconsciously speculated that depending on what was needed to control it, it was at least a top item at the level of the ultimate life form.

As he thought about it, his face darkened again, and he couldn't help but have the urge to curse, "...Only female life forms can inherit, it's really..."

It is estimated that if you can inherit it, you will be able to obtain the special ability of the Holy Mother Religion similar to reincarnation.

Although it didn't have much effect on him, it was really unpleasant to be bombed.

"But this thing can only explode once." Li Ming shook his head. This is probably why the Holy Mother Cult only absorbs female life forms.

And because it only absorbs female life forms, its development path has shifted to this weird form, where one drink and one peck have its own purpose.

"As for this trinity, could it be similar to a fusion?" Li Ming estimated,

In this interstellar era, we have stopped at X-level life forms and are exploring the path to evolve to the ultimate life form.

But the known Terrax civilization has the existence of the ultimate life form.

The ultimate life form is not completely unknown.

And the ultimate life form may also be exploring the path of evolution.

"...A civilization dominated by female life forms..." Li Ming looked through the interstellar network and the black hole network, searching for the keywords of the zero clan and the trinity.

As expected, nothing was found, basically some useless waste information.

He scanned the information of the Holy Mother Church again. He had basically read it all. No one knew the specific time of its appearance. The first time it was officially active in the public eye was nearly 20,000 years ago.

It is considered a relatively ancient force in the interstellar. Its existence span is almost comparable to civilization. It has risen and fallen several times.

Li Ming tried to magnify it with an optical microscope. Its surface structure is extremely smooth. No matter how many times it is magnified, it still does not seem to have any structure.

Even from the microscopic level, it is still smooth and does not react to any energy. It is also incredibly strong, and even the tank guards cannot stop it.

"I can only put it aside for the time being." Li Ming couldn't figure it out, so he simply put it away.

The introverted nature of this thing is very well done. If you throw it away casually, it will be an inconspicuous piece of iron. It can even be stored in the folded space, and it has almost no change to the nature of the space.

"I don't know how many secrets are hidden in this universe..." Li Ming muttered in his heart. Such a powerful civilization disappeared without a trace. It was really a bit too scary.

Anduin and Barbaro stayed here temporarily, but both of them were very sensible. They just stayed in their rooms and rarely went out.

A few days later, a high-standard giant shield escort fleet flew out of the star gate and contacted the Mechanical King Court as soon as possible.

The metal materials transported by Barbaro arrived.

In the Royal Court Star Port No. 16, the handover site was temporarily cleared, and the mechanical guards guarded everywhere.

The specially made anti-gravity transport box was hoisted down, and Barbaroer stood beside him, looking expressionless, but his heart was bleeding.

This time he really lost a lot of money.

Although he made this preparation, he originally thought that the worst case scenario was to use these materials to customize weapons.

At most, he would have to pay some extra labor fees, but now he really lost both the wife and the army. He took Ryan's weapons, and the empire might come to his door one day.

"Sir Barbaroer, please sign." The person in charge of transportation abided by the rules and took the order for handover. The sender was Barbaroer and the recipient was also him.

The Giant Shield Company should not be underestimated. It is the largest cross-civilization transportation company. The person standing behind it is Axel, the defender of one of the ten members of the Higher Alliance.

Barbaroer signed, and the other party nodded respectfully, and then he left.

"Happy cooperation." Li Ming, who had already changed into the Qinglong vest, stretched out his hand. Barbaroer forced a smile and shook hands with the metal hand.

"Your Excellency Qinglong, we won't bother you anymore and will leave first." Anduin said beside him. They didn't have much to do here, and they couldn't even see Qinglong.

"When you two come next time, remember to say hello."

A strange hollow echo came from the mecha. It was hard to tell the tone of the words, nor whether it was sarcastic or teasing.

Anduin smiled and nodded, "That's for sure."

The Mechanical King Court arranged two spaceships for them casually.

The two guys didn't go all the way back. After watching them connect to the stargate orbit, Li Ming took them back.

On the way, Ulrich had counted the materials and came to report: "Your Excellency, the total value of this batch of materials is estimated to be no less than 80 billion..."

At this point, his face was inevitably strange. Barbaroer took Ryan's weapon, which was clearly a huge loss.

He could only think of one possibility, which was to apologize.

It seems that in the confrontation with Your Excellency Qinglong, he not only fell into a disadvantage, but the gap was not small.

"Got it. Send it directly to the base's internal warehouse." Li Ming nodded.

………

At the same time, Barbaroer, who was nestling in the spaceship, had an ugly face. He stared at the [Gun of Annihilation] in his hand, gritted his teeth, and then sighed.

After hesitating for a moment, he took out a metal disc from the ring and threw it casually on the operating table. The metal line spread out from it, and then stretched into the gap of the operating table.

After a moment, the lights of the entire spaceship flashed, and a mechanical echo came out--"The highest authority has been obtained."

Hearing this, he opened the smart terminal, found a contact without a note, and dialed it.

It didn't take too long to get through, and the other party's voice was hoarse, "What's the matter, didn't you arrive at the Mechanical King's Court a long time ago, why are you leaving now?"

"Something unexpected happened." Barbaroer said in a muffled voice.

"You lost to Azure Dragon?" The other party was keenly aware of Barbaro's low mood, but was not surprised. "It seems that Azure Dragon is indeed not to be underestimated. Describe the specific process of the battle to me."

"..."

"Barbarol?" The other party called out. Barbaro, with a dry voice, hesitated and said: "No fight..."

"No fight?" The other party's voice suddenly rose, and he was doubtful. "Then what have you been doing in the Mechanical King's Court for so long?"

"I..." Barbaro hesitated and said helplessly: "This matter is difficult to describe."

"Then tell me slowly, I have plenty of time." The other party also realized that something was wrong and became more serious.

"It's like this..." Barbaro sighed and narrated what he saw that day.

"... Space-time isolation matrix?" The other party suddenly interrupted, his voice hurried, "Are you sure it's the space-time isolation matrix?"

"Anduin said so, I can't see it." Barbaro shook his head.

The other party's voice was low: "Space-time matrix blockade, he can do this?"

Barbaro had heard Anduin sigh once, so he simply continued: "Then, I put my arm in..."

"... When your arm was annihilated, you didn't feel anything?" The other party heard halfway and became more and more suspicious, "With your life level, the self-reaction of your body cells, don't you have any warning?"

"Isn't what I said clear enough?" Barbaro was a little dissatisfied.

Saying it again is equivalent to opening his scars. If he hadn't promised the other party, he wouldn't repeat it.

The other party was silent for a long time before saying: "... Continue..."

Barbarol said coldly: "... Later Anduin used some method to pry open a gap, and we can see that Qinglong is in it..."

After he said that, the other party's murmur came from the virtual screen: "Qinglong can be unharmed under that kind of energy intensity..."

Barbarol said helplessly: "I was also surprised at the time, so there was no need to fight."

The other party was silent for a long time before saying: "In other words, you just went to watch the fireworks? Regarding Qinglong's methods, you actually didn't try anything?"

Barbarol was unhappy and said with anger: "You can say that."

"You..." The other party hesitated, as if he wanted to say something, and then stopped, and said in a deep voice: "Then do you know what experiment Qinglong is conducting to burst out such a terrifying energy intensity."

"I don't know." Barbaro said simply.

"Then what do you know?" A dissatisfied voice came, as if igniting the anger in Barbaro's heart, "I know you are hiding behind like a mouse."

The voice on the screen was indifferent, "Don't forget, I have paid the reward, but you can only give me this little thing."

Barbarol paused and said in a deep voice: "There is one more thing."

"What is it?" The other party was waiting attentively.

Li Ming's figure flashed before his eyes. Barbaro was about to speak, but Anduin's words a few days ago rang in his ears again.

"...The person behind him may not be as powerful as Qinglong..."

With a gloomy look, Barbaro changed his tone, "...Ryan's gun is in my hand, you have to make sure that the Empire does not cause trouble for me."

Pop--a gap formed between the virtual screen pages, and the other party ended the communication.
