This is not mechanical ascension...

Chapter 300 You guys take your time and have fun, I’m going in first!

"Grand Duke Thornblood will not let you go, and Xingyuan Empire will not let you go!"

Ronan looked at Li Ming who was approaching and roared at the top of his lungs.

Since the other party dared to kill Gabriel, he was just a bonus.

With one punch, Ronan's head exploded like a gourd, and blood gushed out. His physical strength was not as good as Gabriel's, and he lost his life after just a twitch.

When Ronan's chest was opened, he saw the unfolded base of the nano-mech as expected, and a hexagonal metal block was attached to his chest.

If you touch it a little, there will be no sign of damage at all, and it will be broken beyond recognition and can only be recycled as raw materials.

Then, Li Ming fiddled with Gabriel's body for a while, and found that the nano armor on his body was still intact.

[Shadow Guard Armor--Grade A]

The four million required for control is the ability [Quick Dressing]. For him, it is basically useless and is also used as raw materials.

"Hmm?" But soon, his eyes lit up and he found something good.

[Subspace Folding Pendant - Grade A]

It looks similar to the one on Ixus, and even its ability is [Space Flash], but this one requires nine million metal energies to control.

"It should be due to the size of the interior. The internal space of this thing should be much larger than that of Isius." Li Ming muttered. He didn't know what was inside. He didn't have time to study it carefully for the time being, so he simply put it in his arms.

After he stood up, his peripheral vision was bright, and he subconsciously glanced towards the porthole, his expression paused slightly.

The battle with Ronan only lasted ten minutes in total, but new changes occurred on the battlefield.

In the desolate starry sky, there appeared more streams of light crisscrossing across the battlefield. Each stream of light was an A-level life form.

The warships, temporarily without the protection of the energy barrier, were torn apart like tofu, and then exploded, with the entire battlefield filled with exploding fireworks.

Not only that, several energy torrents attacked from all directions and slammed into the camp of the joint fleet, and trident-like warships appeared at the edge of the battlefield.

"Judge?" Li Ming couldn't help but be surprised when he saw the fleets that suddenly appeared nearby.

Although he didn't know what had happened before, just looking at the situation in front of him, the general named Antonio was obviously well prepared and launched an attack at the first opportunity when the combined fleet was empty.

This indeed caused heavy losses to the Combined Fleet. Many warships that had not yet completed the restart exploded on the spot, and the flames of the explosion formed a line.

The Combined Fleet did not sit idly by, as the patrolling A-class life forms had already found their respective opponents.

But the other side obviously had no intention of continuing the fight and only wanted to cause sabotage. Even if they fought, they chose to fight near the warships of the Combined Fleet.

Even a slight dissipated energy fluctuation can cause great damage to a warship. Once the hull leaks in multiple places, the warship will basically lose its combat capability.

"Tsk, the Judge should not be underestimated." Li Ming couldn't help but sigh.

Last time we were caught off guard and ambushed by the Combined Fleet, but this time we made it back.

After taking a quick look, he took out an EMP bomb from the folding space and threw it on the spot. The light that had just lit up went out again.

After having a general understanding of the situation, Li Ming prepared to continue heading towards the location of the core ruins.

But just as he was about to leave, he saw a shadow quickly flying out from the upper right area.

"Asmara?" He paused, and couldn't help but become interested: "What does she want to do?"

Li Ming stared at the figure and saw that Asmara did not join the battlefield directly, but stopped not far in front of the Ring Star Crown Guard.

Immediately afterwards, a bright light appeared in her hands, and she actually picked up a metal cube and hung it above her head.

"That is, the Subspace Folding Fortress?" Li Ming stood in front of the porthole, squinting his eyes, looking at the cube above Asmara's head, and had already guessed it.

Unstable space ripples spread out in all directions with it as the center. The metal structure on the surface kept changing and then expanded rapidly.

Immediately afterwards, a ray of blazing energy light first streaked across the starry sky, straight across the camps of the Judge and the Combined Fleet, splitting the two sides in the firefight into two parts.

The actions of both sides slowed down at the same time. The Combined Fleet received the order, while the Judge Fleet was gradually losing control of the warships.

Invisible ripples of position were spreading and wandering. At first, they were like sporadic sound waves, and then they turned into a violent invisible tsunami. After just ten seconds, they covered the entire battlefield.

And all kinds of energy dissipated in the battlefield gradually stagnated under this position ripple, turning into large and small halos, the smallest of which was only a few stars.

The huge mountainous continent that seemed to be whizzing past was a main gun-level attack.

Then, as if struck by an invisible repulsive force, the dissipated energy simultaneously escaped from the battlefield, sweeping away everything, magnificent and weird.

At the same time, the unfolding of the Folding Fortress had reached the final moment, like a dazzling new star, emerging at a speed visible to the naked eye.

It is an angular cube with dense grooves all over its metal shell. From a cosmic scale, its size seems imperceptible.

But even the ring-shaped crown guard is only one-tenth of it.

Li Ming stared at this thing closely, and as the subspace folding fortress quickly took shape and covered the invisible field, the entire battlefield had fallen into a strange state of silence.

All the ships of the Judgement Fleet were shutting down rapidly, although their engines were still struggling to spew out flames and their main guns were still flashing intermittent charging lights.

However, they were unable to move forward. Under the influence of the invisible force field, the shields of all the warships dimmed rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Just a few minutes later, the shields of all the warships in the Judgement Fleet, except the main ship, were extinguished simultaneously.

Then, they all helplessly stopped moving, like piles of ruins, just like the Combined Fleet, and fell into silence.

"What kind of force field is this?" Li Ming's breathing stagnated slightly. This scene, as if the pause button had been pressed, made him think of time first, but he immediately denied it.

This folding fortress may not have been built by the Itlan civilization itself. They can’t even handle space, let alone time.

Besides, he could still move independently now, and he tried it a little and didn't feel any obstruction.

His heart moved slightly, and a red arc flashed on his fingertips, emitting green smoke, but that was all.

"Energy stagnation?" Li Ming figured it out. This was a strange scene, and the battlefield fell silent again.

This energy silencing force field obviously does not distinguish between friend and foe. The Combined Fleet was also affected, but it itself remained as glorious as ever.

Moreover, on one of the metal surfaces, a golden arc of electricity had already appeared in the huge, black hole-like muzzle of the turbine gun.

Now it is the only one that can move, and even if the combined fleet cannot attack, it can break through it at a targeted point.

But then, although they were clearly in a suppressed state, the warships of the Judge Fleet started up again. No one knew what method they used.

Even the extinguished energy shields on the spacecraft were restarted. These warships were recharged again, their weapon systems surged with black and red energy, they turned around neatly, their engines running blazingly, and quickly fled the battlefield.

But it was obviously overloaded. Bright sparks were bursting from all the Judge warships, and the armor plates twisted like soft plastic, exposing the mechanical equipment underneath that was emitting thick smoke. The weaker warships suddenly exploded into large balls of fire before they could take two steps, while the large warships swayed left and right in the continuous explosions and barely evacuated.

The huge cannon of the Folding Fortress took a terribly long time to charge, and it was only one-third of the charge now. Facing the fleeing Judge, it was quickly extinguished.

It actually directly determined the outcome of the battle.

Li Ming's eyes flickered. This was the trump card of the Itlan civilization to suppress the Silver Star Cluster.

"If the Judge Civilization has no back-up plan, it seems it has been defeated again." Li Ming pondered and did not continue reading. Instead, he decisively turned around and went deeper.

His movements were much faster, but after only five or six minutes, he passed through a series of blocked metal gates and stopped in front of a thick metal wall.

The entrance was closed and two rows of soldiers were guarding it cautiously.

"The core ruins should be behind."

The lights around flickered again. Asmara should have turned off the energy silencing field of the Folding Fortress.

Li Ming took out another EMP bomb, and after it took effect, the surroundings fell into darkness again. He put the bomb away, and then his body suddenly shrank, his clothes fell to the ground, and he quickly disappeared.

boom!
Suddenly, there was a loud noise behind them. The eight people in two rows turned around at the same time, looking shocked, only to see that the heavy metal door had opened a long and narrow gap.

Apart from this, no abnormalities were found.

"This..." They looked tense and looked at each other. They checked carefully but found no clues.

"It may be because of the battleship's failure and an accident, just a small gap." Someone muttered.

The others couldn't help but nod their heads. They didn't know what happened today. The system seemed extremely unstable and had to restart many times.

The shrunken Li Ming had already crawled in. In front of him was the silver-white, diamond-shaped core ruins.

The central part seemed to have a slit cut in it, and it was a black wall with golden symbols all over it.

He was very familiar with this material, black gold source stone, which contained a large amount of metal material.

And on all sides of this core relic, there are a total of sixteen peculiarly shaped instruments, with thin metal needles extending several meters long.

Judging from the direction, they should be facing the core ruins, but now they are all extinguished.

The core ruins are covered with a layer of constantly surging silver-white ripples, like water waves, which seems to be some kind of defense mechanism.

There was originally a big hole that had been torn open, but now as the surrounding instruments stopped working, it was gradually healing at a fairly fast speed and it seemed that it would be completely closed soon.

“Although I don’t know what it is, it’s better not to let it heal well.” Li Ming muttered, switched to the [Subspace Folding Ring], and rushed in in a few flashes.

Falling into the diamond-shaped gap, everything around him seemed so huge. He followed the black wall and found a place that looked like an entrance.

Behind a flickering crystal was a closed door, and then he found the [Tanlomon Sublimator] that had been repaired long ago in the control bar and used it directly.

Suddenly, an indescribable feeling rose in my body and my heart skipped a beat.

He adjusted himself slightly, took a long breath, and placed his palm on the crystal.

Instantly, the crystal lit up with a dazzling light, as if verifying something. Soon, a soft female voice sounded: "Verification passed, entry allowed."

Then, the black wall behind the crystal opened silently.

Seeing this, Li Ming couldn't help but pull open the corners of his mouth, and then it got bigger and bigger. He looked back and said: "You guys can play slowly, I'll go in first."

.........

At the same time, on the Coyle, everyone was looking at the folding fortress that had been completely unfolded on the screen, and a sense of oppression came through the screen.

Sandro's throat rolled and he said in a trembling voice: "The timing that Qinglong mentioned can't be this kind of timing."

Ulrich clenched his fists, unclenched them, and clenched them again.

Qinglong didn't tell them much when he left, except that they needed to cooperate, and just said that when the time came, they needed to get close to the joint fleet.

He never thought that it would be this kind of timing.

The strange, huge star stream that came towards the combined fleet for no apparent reason was already surprising enough.

What was even more shocking was that Qinglong seemed to have anticipated such a scenario and had told them about it more than ten days ago.

Monroe's eyes were indifferent. "No matter whether it is the time he mentioned, we have to go and take a look."

"Are we really going over there?" Sandro couldn't help but say, "I think the dogs' brains are about to be beaten out over there. There must be thirty A-level life forms in total."

"You don't want to go?" Monroe looked over, and Sandro immediately said embarrassedly: "It's not that I don't want to go..."

"Even if we sail at full power, it will take at least thirty hours to reach the location of the combined fleet." Cornett suddenly said, "If you want to go, make a decision as soon as possible."

"Go and take a look..." A voice suddenly sounded from the corner. It was An Ye.

The boss had a blank expression on his face, as there were only two or three days left before the deadline Qinglong gave him.

He also wanted to see what Qinglong was doing.

Everyone fell silent, and cold sweat broke out on their palms.

……

"Energy system activated, energy supply rate 85%, 86%"

"The joint communication system is online, allocating channels..."

"System restart completed...Self-check completed, multiple internal damages found, monitoring system damaged..."

The light finally came on in the command room of the Ring Crown Guard. Asmara walked back from the torn metal door with a gloomy look. When she left the command room before, she used violent methods.

"Damage assessment in progress..."

"23% of the warships were destroyed, 13% were damaged, and the losses of various warships are being summarized..."

"Commander, the Arbiter Fleet ambushed in advance. They had anticipated and even completed the ambush before the star stream attacked."

The commanders reported quickly with serious expressions: "We suspect that the Star Stream Dark Tide was created by the Judgement Fleet."

"We'd better shrink the battle line again. In addition, there are many predator warships on the way. They will arrive within a day at the earliest."

Bad news came one after another. After this series of attacks, the good situation was lost.
