This is not mechanical ascension...

Chapter 289 [Earth-shaking Fist] The system is initially formed!

Then, everyone's eyes moved back and fell on the seemingly ordinary figure.

It’s him…Theo’s heart moved slightly.

Seeing Qinglong coming, everyone stood up. Monroe, who was following behind, was even more surprised. Why were they so respectful to Qinglong?

Even if he returns as a king, he may not still have the same prestige as before to make these people treat him with respect.

Compared with more than 40 years ago, the strength of these people has improved significantly.

Basically, they are the leaders of a certain force, used to bullying others. How could they easily bow their heads to someone?

What exactly happened? He became more and more curious.

After closing the door, Li Ming opened the Distorted Perspective and enveloped everyone. "I'm sorry, everyone, for calling you here so hastily."

"It's okay. I'm just bored and have nothing to do." Sandro said immediately.

Li Ming smiled, without much greeting, and turned aside to let Monroe out: "Nothing else, it's just that my friend wants to get to know you all."

Everyone's eyes were focused on Monroe again, and they were sizing him up.

Sandro was the first to speak, looking very familiar, and stretched out his broad right hand: "Your friends are our friends."

"What is your name, Excellency?" he asked.

Monroe's mimic skin faded away, revealing his delicate metal body. His voice changed, and he said, "Sandro, don't you recognize me?"

When he finished speaking, he had turned into Monroe as he did before and looked around at the four people.

Suddenly, the whole conference room was filled with the sound of a pin drop. Sandro's outstretched right hand froze in place, as if it had suffered a great shock. "Door, door, door... Monroe..."

Theo's pupils shrank into needles. He's still alive! ?
Several people mentioned Monroe a few days ago, and they were absolutely certain that he had suffered a nano curse and could not survive.

Unexpectedly, today I stand in front of him intact.

Nano curse...Theo then looked at Qinglong again, and his heart was shaken again.

The question he had asked Ulrich at the beginning echoed in his ears -
Grand Duke Guya or Qinglong?

Ulrich took two steps back and even knocked over the chair behind him. His eyes were full of disbelief. Wasn't Monroe hit by the nano curse?
How could he be so sudden and stand right in front of them alive?

If he had seen a decayed and broken Monroe, he wouldn't be surprised, but this...

His throat rolled and his eyes fell on Qinglong. It was he who brought Monroe here, and it must be him who solved the nano curse.

Can it even solve the Nano Curse?
"Lord Monroe, you..." Jessiah was very excited and looked up and down, "You have completely recovered."

"You can say that." Monroe smiled, and then he said, "Long time no see, all of you."

“…You…” Ulrich hesitated to speak, feeling uneasy, and looked at Qinglong again.

When did Qinglong contact Monroe...

Saab? Land of the Stars!
He suddenly reacted and gritted his teeth secretly. It was happening right under his nose.

Jessiah has come so many times, but I never expected it!

“Let’s chat…” Li Ming took the initiative to say goodbye and left upon seeing this.

The room was silent, and the expressions of several people changed. Monroe was the first to break the silence: "Don't you have anything to say?"

"If you are here to call for punishment, then we have nothing to say." Ulrich spoke first, and said in a deep voice: "We do owe you, but if you want our lives, that is impossible."

Monroe said coldly: "If it weren't for Lord Qinglong, Ulrich, I would definitely take your life."

Ulrich's face tensed slightly, and he felt both frightened and afraid.

If Monroe really wanted to kill him, Qinglong might not necessarily speak for him, but Monroe didn't want to have even the slightest chance of having any rift with Qinglong.

"I'm sorry." Theo suddenly said, with a complicated expression: "I... was powerless at the time."

Sandro hesitated, "Boss, I asked them at the time, but no one told me what happened."

Ulrich said coldly: "I witnessed the battle. What do you want me to do? Go and fight them?"

Monroe restrained his expression, looked around at the few people coldly, and suddenly lost interest, "Forget it, it's all in the past, and I'm not here to pursue anyone."

Sandro couldn't help but let out a long sigh, but Ulrich remained expressionless.

Monroe asked, "I'm curious about another thing."

……

Standing at the door, Li Ming was bored, so he took out his smart terminal and started designing some kind of arm armor. He designed it based on the arm armor of justice, mainly for the purpose of enhancing strength.

It's almost there, just some details to be modified.

Ka!

His eyes flickered slightly, he put away the smart terminal, turned around, and saw Monroe walking out with a complicated expression.

"It's over so soon?" Li Ming thought Monroe wanted to settle old scores.

Monroe's nerve fibers transmitted various information at high speed. He already knew why everyone respected and even feared Qinglong so much.

This guy almost destroyed the Torch Organization. He is so scheming.

There is also a huge cannon that tears the dimensional world apart. Just by looking at the virtual image projected by Jessia, one can feel the terrible sense of oppression.

And An Ye. It turns out that he was looking for An Ye to repair something. This almost confirms that Qing Long is a star-casting-level mechanic.

At the same level, a star-casting mechanic has a higher status than an S-level life form.

If it were him, he would also be very frightened of Qinglong after seeing these.

"There's nothing to say." Monroe shook his head. Li Ming was too lazy to ask more questions and left with Monroe, leaving everyone looking at each other in bewilderment.

……

Somewhere in an unknown place, in the black universe dotted with stars, two mechanical sky islands that look like planets are slowly rotating, one is as red as blood, and the other is as brilliant as gold.

In the center of them was a black palace made of metal, silent and hushed. On both sides stood tall iron chairs, each with a black vertical pupil on the back.

Suddenly, from under a seat on the left, a shuttle-shaped device made of metal and crystals emerged, eventually forming a meter-long crystal hexagonal prism.

These crystal prisms emit a soft blue halo and hover on both sides of the seat, without any unnecessary movement.

"The Red River Star Stream has entered its tidal period, and the plan is about to end." A voice suddenly sounded, obviously processed and with mechanized characteristics.

Another voice responded: "Many parties have already taken their positions and are waiting for the final battle."

"The other two lines are running smoothly, and we can't have any problems here."

"Don't worry, everything is going according to plan. No matter who gets it, it will definitely cause a big war."

"Well, that's good, but unfortunately things still have to be given away."

"We can't leave any traces of our actions. This is the only way. No one in that area dares to compete with the two Grand Dukes of the Empire for things."

"Dark Night seems to be trapped in that area."

"He has already fulfilled his value. Whether he can survive depends on himself."

There was no more sound in the empty hall. The hexagonal crystal prism disintegrated and returned to where it had just emerged.

………In the room, Li Ming let out a long sigh, holding a pair of silver-white mechanical arm armor in his hand, with the thick metal structure exposed.

[Giant Auxiliary Arm--Class C: Solid mechanical structure, bringing powerful force.

Control conditions: 8,000 metal energy points
...]

The thing has been made, and all the data are almost the same as he expected.

What he needs to do now is to upgrade it directly to Class A. He still has 30 million metal energies left, which seems like a lot, but he can only upgrade three at most.

He also wants to keep 10 million for future use, and at most two can be promoted.

After making all the calculations, they immediately took action to strengthen the mother ore, upgrade the metal, and consume the alienated energy, all of which were controlled and used internally.

The originally simple silver-white arm armor has turned into thick khaki-colored fist armor that almost completely covers both arms. The precise mechanical structure is extremely beautiful.

【Earth-shaking Fist--Level A: Smash the earth!
...

Control Effect: Feature - [Earth Shattering]

Control ability - Earthshaking: Gain 2000% strength. 】

[Earth Shattering: Gain 800% strength and apply the "Earth Shattering" mark to the target. Every ten layers of the mark will explode and cause additional damage.]

Two pairs of A-level [Earth-shaking Fists] are released, with a total of fifty-six times the power, and the special feature of [Earth-shattering].

Li Ming looked at it for a long time and was quite surprised. It was the first time he saw such a feature.

Unfortunately, however, the characteristics cannot be stacked.

He immediately switched the objects he controlled, replacing the two elemental-grade buckled arm armors with the two pairs of [Earth-shaking Fists].

In an instant, a feeling of power expanding from the inside out filled the whole body, but it was followed by the tension of muscle fibers and the excruciating pain of being torn apart.

Currently, he has six A-level controlled objects on his body, namely [Feros Mecha], [Life Power Core], [Vortex Shadow], [Justice Gauntlets] and two pairs of [Earth Shaking Fists], as well as an S-level controlled object [Heart of Talos], which is full.

In terms of strength blessing alone, it seems to be more than one hundred and twenty times as high as overall, but the data blessing brought by the ability is not superimposed.

Therefore, the force acting on his body was only more than eighty times. With his current physical body, it had already reached its limit and he could not even make any unnecessary movements.

But [Heart of Talos] was activated, and the strong pumping of the heart dissipated the bloated feeling in his body.

Conversion defense blessing!

In an instant, he felt his muscles and skin tightened countless times, giving him a solid feeling. Even without wearing a mecha, it would be difficult for ordinary A-level life forms to cause harm to him.

Then, he converted it into physical strength. The feeling of fullness from the inside out and the almost explosive energy made him very uncomfortable.

It soon transformed into speed, which was the most obvious. With light footsteps, a terrifying air wave exploded on the spot, and the tables, chairs and benches fell to the ground.

With a speed boost of over a hundred times, this could probably compete head-on with Theo in terms of speed.

Li Ming breathed a sigh of relief. Moreover, this blessing was not stacked at once, he could adjust the value at will.

For example, the ability to control objects brings about a redundant and non-superimposable forty times the power.

Switch to defense, so that the body can withstand it and become stronger.

The defense does not only work on the skin, but on every aspect of his body, just like a recovery blessing.

Unfortunately, only one blessing can be converted at a time and it cannot be distributed evenly.

Li Ming pondered, looked at the control bar, and took another solid step forward.

"I just don't know what kind of energy is needed to upgrade the control object to S-level."

He has no idea yet, but he doesn't have the metal energy to support his upgrade at the moment, so there is no rush.

"And divine energy cannot work on S-level controlled objects." Li Ming muttered, "The level is not enough. Do I need ten more divine energies to upgrade again?"

Right now, all the major controls in his hands are still at level A, so there is no rush to figure this matter out.

There were many questions, and he wrote them down one by one and always figured them out.

After packing up, he walked out of the studio door and went straight to the main ship laboratory.

It's very lively here today, with many people here, including Cornette, Benny, Jessia, and even Theo and a few others, including Monroe.

"Qinglong Pavilion is coming." Benny saw it at the first moment, and everyone made way for him, and the voices gradually calmed down.

"Not packaged yet?" Li Ming raised his eyebrows, looking at the completed sublimator on the operating table.

"I'm waiting for you." Benny smiled.

"What's the need?" Li Ming shook his head and didn't care: "Let's get started."

"Okay." Benny nodded and clapped his hands, and an experimenter came over pushing a huge translucent metal cabin.

Benny glanced at Li Ming, his voice became cautious, and explained:

"This is a package that was created based on opinions from many parties. It is transparent and visible and is equipped with a variety of testing facilities, including material detectors..."

Material detector? Everyone had different looks. It was obviously a measure to prevent Qinglong from secretly replacing it.

It is really scary that three thousand pieces of Boiling Blood Alloy can be replaced right under the nose of the Torch Organization.

"Is there any need?" Sandro snorted.

"Since it's a cooperation, such precautions are justified." Li Ming didn't care.

After packaging, this thing will not be stored secretly, but will be placed in the most conspicuous position on the main ship.

The Torch Organization's bitter experience has taught them that it is useless to keep it secret.

"You two, I have fulfilled my promise, and it's your turn." Li Ming's eyes fell on Benny and Cornette. These were the purpose of his visit.

He took out the technology for making the sublimator, and the other two should also exchange it with some phased information.

Benny took a deep breath, knowing that this was a slow death, and also knowing that Qinglong was just playing house with them.

But the illusory word "cooperation" still gave them a little hope, the hope of turning the tide.

"Using the sublimator, we can increase the concentration of sublimated particles in Huber's body to 50%, meeting the requirements for entering the core ruins." Benny explained:

"But the civilization levels of the Ascendants are extremely strict. 50% can only obtain a small part of the technology and resources, and can't even see the Ascendant Source Crystal."

Li Ming's eyes moved slightly. This Sublimator civilization looks at particle concentration for everything.

"So complicated?" Ulrich frowned. "What methods do you have?"

Benny kept silent and looked at Cornett. The leader just uttered a few words, "I will have the fleet sail in the general direction next."

"You're so hesitant." Sandro curled his lips, but Li Ming said, "Mr. Cornett, it's not that I don't trust you, I'm just curious about where you got the coordinates from."

Cornette frowned, obviously not wanting to explain, but after Qinglong asked, Theo and the others looked at him, and a sense of oppression came over them.

"…our people paid a great price to obtain it." He said vaguely.

This answer was unsatisfactory. Sandro raised his eyebrows and was about to start scolding.

At this moment, a figure suddenly ran over in a panic. It was Pierre. He was sweating profusely and swallowing his saliva. He said:

"I just learned from the Black Hole Network that the joint fleet has left the Land of Stars and is heading towards the core area of ​​the Red River Star Stream!"
