This is not mechanical ascension...

Chapter 365 Whoever dares to touch Li Ming, I, Qinglong, will retaliate at all costs!

"This is too cautious..." Li Ming was speechless.

Looking at the various protective measures, barriers, rune stones, crystal balls, etc. that Costat and others stuffed into Abel's hands, he had no idea what they were for.

Instead, he was all alone and no one cared about him.

"Do you want it?" Abel handed over a palm-sized barrier generator. The outer shell was made of a strange metal with flowing light, and the surface was covered with energy lines as fine as hair.

In the center there is a core as bright as a gem, surrounded by circles of tiny energy rings.

It looked like it was not an ordinary item. Li Ming was a little surprised. Abel was very gentle and even smiled.
[Quantum Defense Barrier--Special Type: An advanced product of the Imperial Academy of Sciences.

Control conditions: 50 million metal energy
Control ability - emergency barrier: Instantly activate the quantum barrier, which can resist the attack of S-level life forms. The duration depends on the intensity of the attack. 】

Li Ming was quite surprised. Being able to directly resist S-level attacks was indeed impressive.

"Forget it." Li Ming shook it and threw it back.

Abel raised his eyebrows slightly, but didn't say much. He took it away. There would be plenty of opportunities after winning people's hearts.

Li Ming was getting bored waiting, but these people would not let him go in early, so he could only wait here.

Costat's heart moved slightly, and he turned around suddenly. As expected, he saw Diaz appearing not far away, and Dius and others looked over at him.

"What are you doing here?" Costat frowned. This was not in the plan.

Li Ming noticed the movement and had a vague feeling that he was being watched. He turned around and found that Diaz's eyes were fixed on him.

Diaz… He had read the other party’s information. His resume was very impressive. He originally belonged to a certain advanced civilization. He fought his way up, joined the empire, and surrendered to Prince Ryan.

The people on Nicholas' side have a development progress of over 60%. They are powerful and loyal, and are nicknamed "Dragon Hunter General".

Li Ming felt heavy-hearted and alert.

Diaz looked solemn, and said to Prince Costat: "I just want to ask Li Ming a few questions."

Prince Costat naturally didn't want to do that, as he never liked unexpected things.

But Diaz's eyes were fixed on Li Ming, and he had already spoken in a cold tone: "Nicholas, life or death?"

"Diaz!" Costat shouted. He didn't know how many media outlets were broadcasting the show live right now. It would be hard to explain if he asked such a question later.

But he couldn't do anything, and Diaz knew this, so he jumped out at this time.

In the distance, two divine craftsmen were communicating. The Mechanical Soul Divine Craftsman frowned slightly, "Costat is getting worse and worse. He can't control his subordinates. If a fight breaks out, will you protect Li Ming?"

The God of Creation said calmly: "My friend only asked me to recommend him, but did not ask me to protect him."

The sudden change caused the onlookers to talk about what had happened.

"What do you mean?" Li Ming frowned slightly.

"Don't play dumb with me. I know it was Qinglong who did it." Diaz said calmly, staring at him coldly: "Where is your teacher?"

Li Ming shook his head and sighed, "To be honest with you, I don't know where the teacher is either."

"Don't know?" Diaz stood there with cold eyes, "Does your teacher think that he has appeased the empire's anger?"

Li Ming remained silent, and Costat shouted, "Enough!"

Diaz said in a deep voice: "According to the executive order of the Imperial Royal Council, you are now suspected of being involved in the attack on the central world and are under arrest."

This was really beyond Li Ming's expectations. He glanced at Prince Costat, who had a grim expression on his face, and roughly understood what was going on.

"Where is the imperial executive order?" Li Ming questioned.

"Are you going to resist arrest?" Diaz's eyes suddenly narrowed.

In an instant, he attacked without hesitation.

Even though Diaz came from a good family and had experienced many years on the battlefield, he knew very well that even a lion needs to use all its strength to fight a rabbit.

Even when facing Li Ming, an A-level life form, he did not hide anything and attacked with all his strength!
Diaz stretched out his arms, which were already covered with black scales. The black scales seemed to be dotted with bright stars. They seemed so huge that they could cut off the galaxy, yet they also seemed very small.

The Star Dragon, this is his gene seed, a cosmic creature that travels among the stars and is extremely powerful.

The moment he attacked, terrifying energy fluctuations exploded almost instantly, like the explosion of a supernova.

The black energy surged out like a gusher, like a violent beast that broke free from its restraints and roared wildly.

The void shattered bit by bit around him. The structure of space was like fragile glass, vulnerable to this force, and fragments flew everywhere.

Prince Costa had a gloomy face, as if he had expected this. When Diaz took action, he also took action, but not to rescue Li Ming.

At this moment, he and Diaz are both people of the empire.

The blood-red cage rose from all directions, with thick blood light flowing on its surface. Each railing was thick and twisted, deeply rooted in the void, emitting a powerful forbidden force that solidified the void.

The energy fluctuations that were originally venting wantonly, the moment they touched the cage, were like surging waves hitting a solid seawall and were ruthlessly blocked back.

If he ignored it, more than 80% of the life forms present would die without a burial place, and he didn't want to get involved in such a big pile of shit.

Strands of silver light lit up, interweaving in a mysterious and graceful manner, instantly enveloping Estelle and the others, while Deus had a blank expression on his face.

Li Ming's position was too close to Abel and others. If he was not careful, he might bring disaster to others.

Diaz took action with real recklessness, his eyes were cold, he just wanted to make a big noise so that Costat could not suppress it.

Anyway, Costat couldn't kill him.

Li Ming also did not wait, his heart beating rapidly. When Diaz appeared, he switched to [Heart of Talos] and converted all of it into defensive blessings.

And at the first moment of his attack, thanks to the special nature of the control system, the Tank Guard had already emerged, and the cold metal mecha enveloped his entire body.

boom!
The arm covered with black scales has fallen down, and the palm has turned into a ferocious beast head. Its eyes are flashing with bloodthirsty red light, and scorching red flames are spewing from its nostrils.

The moment the sharp fangs touched the metal armor, a series of dazzling sparks burst out and the harsh friction sound rang out sharply, as if to tear a person's eardrum.

A low roar emanated from the throat of the beast head, each roar was filled with endless ferocity and violence. It twisted its body madly, trying to bite the metal armor into pieces with all its strength.

The black energy suddenly exploded, Diaz's expression was slightly shocked, and he felt a strange recoil force surging along his arm.

How can this mecha be dressed so quickly?

He was also very surprised, but he was not Reina and was much stronger than Reina.

"It's just a mecha!"

The next attack followed immediately, and the other arm was quickly released and attacked in an instant. But along with the tank guard, there also appeared the King of Thunder and the King of Imperial Sky.

[Guards Armament] was activated, and the two guards attached themselves to the tank guard as fast as two lightning bolts.

Blessing transformation, strength and defense!

The mechanical structure began to run frantically, making sharp noises. The various parts quickly deformed, intertwined and merged with each other, overlapping and clamped together, like a precise puzzle that fits perfectly.

As the clamping progressed, the size of the tank expanded to five meters in height at an astonishing speed. The mechanical body became more sturdy and powerful, and the blue and gold colors flashed a cold light.

When the giant fist that tore through the void came with the power to destroy the world, the guard transformation was completed.

[Mechanical Weapon Release] was activated at the same time, and a blazing energy glow surged from the surface of the tank. In Diaz's incredulous eyes, the huge mechanical iron fist shone with bright light, as dazzling as a newborn star.

On the surface of the iron fist, complex energy patterns flow like water waves, and the powerful energy field distorts the surrounding space into a blurred state.

At the moment of the collision, a force powerful enough to shake the stars erupted, and light and shock waves spread wildly in all directions.

However, the huge mechanical iron fist resisted and did not move at all.

"It's your turn!" Li Ming's voice was low and his mechanical pupils were cold.

boom!
There was a deafening sound, and due to the presence of Prince Costat, a closed area has been formed here. The violent energy fluctuations collided with each other like a surging tide, and each impact caused a space tremor.

……

"Who, who shows up?"

Further out, many life forms could not see clearly what was happening in the central area and could only hear other people's discussions.

"Someone from the Empire?"

"That guy seems to be questioning Li Ming? I wonder what the grudge is."

Amidst the hustle and bustle, these secrets between the big guys made everyone curious and they couldn't help but ask about it.

But at this moment, a violent roar made everyone stand still, staring blankly at the expanding blood-red barrier in the central area, which was constantly expanding like a balloon.

"Fuck, who did it?" After a brief silence, there was a sound of people gasping for air.

He stretched his head, touched the people around him, took out his smart terminal, and wanted to see what was happening in the central area.

"Diaz actually took action." The Mechanical Soul Master was surprised, looking at the blood-colored energy barrier, "No matter what, Li Ming is just Qinglong's student. It's fine to arrest him, but take action..."

The God of Creation frowned slightly, "What a pity."

The Soul Mechanical Master sighed.

Soon, the blood-colored energy barrier in the field gradually dissipated, and everything within the covered area was empty, including the underground.

“Hmm?” The God of Creation’s nonchalant expression suddenly froze, and he stood up abruptly, his face in astonishment: “This… this is…?”

The reaction of the Mechanical Soul Master was no less impressive. The mechanical pupils rotated at an extremely high speed, quickly enlarging to capture all information.

In the middle of the field, a tall mechanical body was half-kneeling on the ground. The mechanical structure on its body was made up of multiple colors, and each metal plate was shining with a cold luster. In front of it stood a heavy mechanical giant shield.

The surface is covered with densely packed metal scales, each of which flashes with a cold light, interlaced with thick energy pipes, through which flows a dazzling blue light, which is a sign of powerful energy surging.

At this moment, the center of the giant mechanical shield was deeply dented, as if it had suffered an extremely strong bombardment. There were obvious wounds all over the huge mechanical body, and it was obvious that it had experienced a fierce battle.

But what was even more miserable was Diaz, who was pressed tightly in the air by a huge mechanical hand. He was covered in blood, but he seemed unaware. He just stared at the mechanical body in front of him in disbelief.

He knew Li Ming's information very well, and the mecha was of utmost importance. He would attack suddenly, and it would be best if the opponent did not have time to put on the mecha. Even if he did, he was sure he could break it.

His development progress is far beyond Reina's reach. As for the possible S-class mechanical body that may appear, it is estimated that it will not be able to deal with him. He can ignore the interference and just capture Li Ming.

However, the reality was completely different from what he expected, not only was there an additional S-class mechanical body, but when combined together, it even burst out with power beyond his own, and he was caught off guard.

"This is..." Prince Costat, who was standing nearby, also felt a wave of emotion in his heart and looked at the tall mechanical body with a complicated expression.

"Qinglong...interesting..." A hint of curiosity appeared in Dius' beautiful eyes.

Behind her, Abel and others stared blankly. Naturally, they did not think that Li Ming himself could defeat Diaz, but the mechanical body in him.

And those strange mechanical bodies came from Qinglong...

The onlookers fell silent. After two or three seconds, the reporters and self-media workers finally reacted. Their faces flushed and they operated the cameras frantically.

"What's wrong? What's wrong?" someone else asked.

"Li Ming... Li Ming defeated the Dragon Hunter General..." someone said with difficulty.

After a brief silence, there was a roar of sound. Everyone was excited, feeling as if they were witnessing something big happening.

The Holy Elephant of Domination was also paying attention, looking at the mechanical body. The combat method of this assembled mechanical body was really similar to that of the "Mechanical Holy Spirit" of the Forging Hammer God, but it seemed to be more advanced.

He could see that these machines were assembled together in a special way, enhancing each other's performance, which was not simple.

It felt like its processor was about to burn out. How could there be anyone with better skills than the Hammer Forger?

"...Diaz..." The burly mechanical body made a sound, pulled back the giant mechanical shield, and slowly stood up.

"Qinglong?" Prince Costat guessed when he noticed that the other party's tone was not right.

"You can call me that." There was silence all around, and Costat's eyes became much deeper.

Everyone's eyes were filled with scrutiny. A magnetized voice came from the burly mechanical body, "Isn't it a bit too low-class to attack my student?"

Diaz stared at him, not at all timid: "You hid in the dark, you should have expected him to be at great risk."

"I don't understand what you mean." Qinglong said calmly: "If you break the bottom line, don't blame me."

"I only have one student. How many descendants do you...or you all have?"

Costat frowned. This kind of expansion was not what he wanted to see.

Who is this guy?
Costat was suspicious, thinking that a life form of this level could not suddenly appear. He even suspected that he knew the person who was speaking.

But the technical means used by the other party were all unheard of, and it was impossible to find the corresponding person.

"You threaten the empire?" Diaz was held tightly, still staring at Li Ming coldly.

"It's not a threat to the Empire, it's a threat to all interstellar forces." Qinglong emphasized, not falling into his trap, "I need to make sure nothing happens to my students. Whoever touches him, I will kill, kill them all, until I die, or the enemy dies."

The calm tone revealed a desire for revenge that frightened everyone.

　A little late, sorry.
