This is not mechanical ascension...

Chapter 260: Everyone's reaction Qinglong's apology

The blazing afterglow of the explosion was reflected on the tank's crystal mechanical outer pupils. Viewed from the distant orbit, the huge gully spreading out from the center of the explosion was clearly visible, like a spider web.

The combined bombardment of five main ship-class energy cannons unleashed a power beyond imagination.

If it happens a few more times, this asteroid might disintegrate.

"It is said that a powerful S-class life form can actually shatter a planet." Li Ming's thoughts were scattered.

Even if a Class A life form that has been developed to 100% is good at large-scale destruction, it is difficult for it to cause much damage to a conventional planet.

However, S-class life forms are different. They can truly influence the direction of a large-scale interstellar war. S-class life forms with high development progress can actually shatter a planet.

Of course, it is only a conventional planet. As for stars and even supergiant stars, it is still powerless.

The planet where the Torch Organization's base is located is just an asteroid, which is far from the conventional planet standards set by the Interstellar Alliance.

"The road of evolution is truly dazzling..." Li Ming couldn't help but imagine.

At the same time, the energy aftermath below gradually dissipated, leaving behind a large pit, surrounded by craters squeezed out by excessive energy.

The surface of the ground has crystallized, and hidden in the sand, various materials melted by energy are cooling from the high temperature to form dark-brown block-like condensates.

The Tank Guard landed on the ground, and the ground around it hissed. Intermittent sounds were transmitted in the thin air.

White flames rolled, creating a stench similar to sulfur. The basic combat intelligence of the tank mecha sounded an alarm, saying that the toxic air and high-temperature surface were not suitable for the activities of living things.

"It feels good to fire these shots, but it takes time and energy to charge them." Li Ming sighed inwardly. It took a lot of energy to charge the main guns in his hands.

Each gate needs to be drained three to five times, and the five gates combined need to be drained more than twenty times.

It doesn't feel good to have your strength drained away, but it feels really good when you ejaculate.

Li Ming thought aimlessly, gradually walking towards the center of the strike point, and then his footsteps suddenly stopped.

Not far away was the center of the explosion, where a dark figure was lying.

If it weren't for the faint red veins of flesh and blood beneath the carbonized skin, it would be difficult to distinguish it from the surrounding surface environment with the naked eye.

Brot lay on his back, the metal armor on the back of the mecha had completely melted, and the mixed molten iron of various materials flowed around, still showing a bright red and even dazzling gold color.

Some of them even seeped into his flesh from the surface of his skin, making a hissing sound.

"He's not dead yet." He raised his eyebrows slightly. The basic life detector that the tank guard carried with him had already scanned that the other party still had life activity, but it was very weak.

"The defensive power of this mecha cannot be underestimated."

This ape-bone heavy mecha belongs to Deyes himself, so naturally its first priority is defense.

It was also thanks to the cushioning of this mecha that Brot was able to survive.

Brot's face was deeply embedded in the almost half-melted metal helmet. His mind was in chaos, his eyeballs had long been shattered, his vision was dark, and he felt excruciating pain all over his body.

"What... is... going on..." He couldn't maintain his train of thought. The back of his head had already been carbonized and he could only remember a blank whiteness.

His body turned over uncontrollably, and the unknown black hard shell that almost blended in with the surrounding environment made a crackling sound.

"Life is painful..." Li Ming couldn't help but shake his head when he saw this.

Hearing these vaguely familiar words, Brot's mind suddenly exploded.

He remembered that he was following Deyes's idea and attacking the two mechanical bodies under Qinglong.

Those two mechanical bodies were no match for him at all and were beaten badly. He was just about to take revenge for the slap in the face.

But...how...

His thoughts stopped here and he fell into complete darkness. Li Ming cut off his last chance of survival.

Li Ming felt calm and lowered his head to touch the mecha.

[Ape Bone--Grade A (Damaged): A heavy defensive mecha made of porcelain crystal alloy as the main material.

Control conditions: 2 million metal energy
Control effect: 500% defense boost.

Control Ability - Defense Form: Activate the mecha's deep defense form and gain 1000% defense. 】

It's a standard A-class mecha, but due to the high degree of damage, it only requires 2 million metal energies to control, and its data enhancement is also severely attenuated.

But he has no shortage of A-class mechas now. Whether it is for control or material use, this mecha seems to be too redundant.

What's more, it would consume metal energy to repair it. After thinking about it, he decided to absorb it directly as metal material.

After all, it is an A-class mecha, and the materials used are also good, so a lot of it should be able to be recycled.

He touched the thick metal glove on Brot's arm again.

[Violent Tiger Fist--Grade A (Damaged): A carefully customized combat fist armor equipped with a miniature thermonuclear reaction engine.

Control conditions: 5 million metal energy
Control effect: Strength blessing--600%
Control ability - Power of the Violent Tiger: Activate the thermonuclear engine and gain 1200% power. 】

Although this thing was also damaged, due to its angle and the fact that it was sunk deep into the ground, it did not bear the direct energy of the explosion, so the degree of damage was not serious.

Once the repair is completed, the data support should be able to be further improved.

"This thing is good, but my main battle control has already become a system, it is not as good as my [Fist of Justice], um... maybe I can materialize it and use it..."

He looked at Tan Wei's hands. By expending some metal energy and making slight adjustments, he could fit the metal gloves onto Tan Wei.

It can be considered as a disguised enhancement. A-level control objects are still relatively rare for him at present and can only be obtained through upgrading.

[Ape Bone] is indeed not very useful, but this [Violent Tiger Fist] is still okay.

After touching the two trophies, Li Ming was in a good mood. He carefully separated Brot's body from the two things.

A lot of flesh and blood had dried up on the inner cabin of the mecha, causing Li Ming to shake his head again and again.

Theo and Ulrich stood at the edge of the crater.

Looking at the Azure Dragon reaping the spoils below, Ulrich's eyes were filled with horror, his voice trembling as he whispered:
"Did you see it just now? Eight guns. How did it become eight guns?!"

The trembling voice contained a shock that could hardly be concealed.

It was okay that one door turned into two, he just thought that Qinglong was gradually repairing his damaged weapons and equipment.

But now, the two doors have become eight doors. This is not a gradual repair, but a geometric jump.

The fully armed Brot was killed by random artillery fire.

He is a mutant, and his physical strength is not as good as that of a normal genetically evolved being.

Putting himself in his shoes, he felt that he might not even leave a corpse and would just evaporate.

"He couldn't have really been an S-level fighter at his peak, right?" Ulrich's voice was hoarse.

Theo said nothing, but clenched his fists tightly, and there was an unprecedented fear in his eyes when he looked at Qinglong.

This attack was enough to threaten him, even though he reacted quickly and retreated immediately.

But that's because Qinglong's main attack target is not him, but there is no guarantee that the opponent does not have the means to limit speed.

He's a great mechanic!

Even if I don't have a force field generator or a blockade device, wouldn't it be easy to make one?
Before this, although Qinglong's origin was mysterious and surprises often occurred, Theo asked himself whether he had the ability to deal with unexpected events at critical moments.

But now, he was shaken. This Qinglong was too unfathomable. He didn't think that Qinglong's strength was only what it seemed.

If Qinglong's performance was one, his estimation had always been three, but now it suddenly reached ten.

What’s more terrifying is, is this really his limit?

"What kind of attack method is that?" What Theo found even more difficult to understand was the speed of those energy attacks.

Such a powerful energy reaction should require an extremely long energy storage time.

But the time from the appearance of the muzzle to the firing is only a few seconds, which is totally unreasonable.

Unless he gets close to him immediately, it will be very troublesome, he subconsciously guessed.

Ulrich's eyes flickered, and he glanced at Theo cautiously, the question reappearing in his mind.

Grand Duke Guya or Qinglong?

……

In the core laboratory, many experimenters looked panicked and the alarm had been sounding continuously since the beginning.

The roar continued and the laboratory was shaking as if it was about to collapse.

"What on earth happened?" Luo Er and his colleagues huddled in a corner, their faces pale.

"You stepped on my tentacles!" Another colleague screamed, but no one paid any attention.

Benny frowned, Jesse looked solemn, and Deyes looked a little confused. Why was there such a big noise?

Didn't I warn Brot not to make any big noise?

Finally, the shaking in the laboratory stopped, but the alarm continued to sound.

Jessiah's mechanical pupils flickered slightly, and he walked straight towards the door. Benny was hesitant to speak.

The door of the laboratory was completely locked under the emergency mechanism.

But Jesse didn't care. He put his hands on the gap and with an unpleasant creaking sound, he forcibly pried open a gap.

"this…"

His mechanical pupils were running at high speed, and the external environment shocked him. The intelligent system in his body was constantly collecting various types of information.

what happened?
Outside the purple energy barrier, the towering craters blocked all sight, and the energy reactions that had not yet completely dissipated continued to cause his combat system to sound alarms.

He turned sideways, passed through the gap in the metal door, gathered strength with his feet, and soared into the sky with a roar and flames.

After he left, Deyes came forward and took a look through the gap. His pupils suddenly contracted and his face changed drastically.

Is this something Brot could do?

He felt a little uneasy, could it be that Brot had gotten ahead of himself and was clashing with Connit?
He immediately passed through the crack in the door, eager to find out what was going on.

"You two..." Benny had no choice but to follow after hesitating for a moment.

Luo Er and others couldn't suppress their curiosity and approached the gate carefully from the corner.

Looking through the gap, the towering craters and energy streamers filling the air made them look dazed.

Jessiah's figure was just ahead, landing on the circular mountain peak. Looking down, he seemed to be standing there in a daze.

what happened?

Deyes saw it clearly and became more and more anxious. Fortunately, the distance was very close and he soon landed next to Jesiah.

Jessiah noticed something and turned around with a puzzled look on his face.

Deyes was no longer able to care about anything else. He just lowered his head and searched around. Then, as if struck by lightning, his face suddenly turned pale and all the blood color disappeared.

The core strike position was obvious. He was also a Class B life form, and there was no obstruction in the middle, so he could see it clearly.

The familiar light golden mecha was squatting on the ground, cleaning something. Beside it was a pair of familiar metal fists, which were the Violent Tiger Fists, with some dried blood on them.

On the other side, there were dried corpses whose specific appearance could not be seen, as well as scattered body parts.

Brot, dead!?
Boom!

There seemed to be a sound of thunder in his ears, and bloodshot appeared on Deyes's eyes. He lost his balance for a moment, staggered back, and fell to the ground.

Jessiah's mechanical eyes swept over, and then he shook his head.

"How could this happen... How could this happen..." Deyes murmured absentmindedly.

This was completely different from what he expected. This was Brot, who was fully armed. No one except Theo and Cornette should be able to kill him.

A feeling of despair and anxiety surged in his heart. His reaction was not only because of his relationship with Brot, but also because Brot was his only support within the Torch organization.

Without Brot, he would just be a B-level life form.

This is not a strictly ordered interstellar society. If you tell others about your identity as a great mechanic, you will be welcomed everywhere. Here, only the strong prey on the weak.

His status will drop rapidly, and he will even lose the qualifications to have an equal dialogue with others.

"Mr. Deyes, something unexpected seems to have happened. Let's go down and take a look." Jessia's voice came to my ears.

Then Deyes felt his shoulder being grabbed and the surrounding environment changed rapidly. When he came to his senses again, Deyes's body was already in front of him.

"Jessiah..." Li Ming noticed the movement and looked back. Theo and Ulrich were also approaching.

Everyone had complicated expressions.

"This is..." Jesseya couldn't help but ask.

"Mr. Deyes is here too." Li Ming looked at the dazed Deyes with a normal expression, "I wanted to look for you too. I don't know what has gone wrong with Mr. Brott to fight with my mechanical body."

"My mechanical body is no match for him. I have no choice but to try to stop him as much as possible."

Was he killed by Qinglong?

Deyes suddenly looked up, his expression out of control, and filled with extreme horror.

In his opinion, the only ones who could pose a threat to the fully armed Brot were Connit and Theo.

Such a big commotion was obviously not caused by the assassin Theo. He even thought it was Connit.

But unexpectedly, it was Qinglong.

At this time, Li Ming sighed, "It's a pity that I didn't estimate it well and failed. I'm sorry."

sorry! ?

Deyes's face was distorted, and he almost pounced on the other person and tore him into pieces.

But his remaining rationality restrained him tightly. He didn't even dare to speak, for fear that the other party would hear his resentment.

He just lowered his head, his pupils trembling.

Now, no one can support him, even if Qinglong slaps him to death, he will be dead.
