This is not mechanical ascension...

Chapter 438 Cleaning up the mess
boom!
The moment the purple giant hammer collided with it, none of the surrounding life forms reacted. The strongest among them was an S-level life form, and fear appeared in his eyes.

The terrifying energy that exploded before their eyes almost swept away everything.

The infinite hammer seemed to smash out the energy contained in every cell of the oath-keeper, and the inky black waves boiled like the sea.

From the perspective of the starry sky, a corner of the dark mother nest suddenly collapsed, like a black hole collapsing. Shocking cracks began to appear on the metal frame, completely disintegrating into countless tiny fragments, which flew around in a crazy manner.

"so smart!"

At the energy center, the Oath Keeper was horrified. Although half of her head had been blown to pieces, as an X-level life form, she could still think.

"Qinglong...how did he get here?" The Oath Keeper was incredulous, but soon realized that this was a trap!
Thoughts raced through his mind. Li Ming was caught because Qinglong was fishing.

The original target was the radical group, but by some strange coincidence, she took the bait.

"green…"

Neural sparks flew through the remaining half of her head, and Oath Keeper realized this and attempted to communicate.

The ones who actually attacked Li Ming were the radicals, and her people were just going along with it.

However, the other party refused to give him any chance. As soon as his mental fluctuations dissipated, the second hammer came towards him, just as fiercely, heading straight for the remaining half of her head.

There was no fancy energy, it was simply an extreme explosion of power. Wherever it passed, the boiling energy particles were smashed to annihilation.

The space was extremely compressed, forming a tangible shock wave that came like the impact of a giant star.

There was no time to think too much. The Oath Keeper was frightened and dark energy suddenly burst out from his body, spreading rapidly like a tide. The surrounding space was frozen, presenting a honeycomb-like defense structure.

boom!
Infinite heavy hammers fell down fiercely, and this time the Oath Keeper made an effective defense, and the collision became even more shocking.

The second wave of energy ripples suddenly spread out, its force like a surging tide, spreading madly in all directions with endless aura of destruction.

The remaining part of the mother nest was instantly crushed into dust, and the already broken structure was completely turned into nothingness. The powerful force made the surrounding space emit a wail of unbearable pressure.

The violent energy aftermath was still raging. Wherever it went, the stars dimmed and the void trembled.

There were no living creatures left around, and those who did not have time to escape were all turned into powder by the previous energy explosion.

Farther away, a few S-level life forms that were barely surviving were trembling.

The lethality this time is not as great as last time. The key point is that [Super Charged Attack] cannot be activated continuously and can only be activated once every three seconds.

But the Oath Keeper was seriously injured in the first attack.

"Qinglong, you..." The mental fluctuations of the Oath Keeper came, containing incomparable anger. Special black symbols appeared on his body, and his aura burst out, as if he was undergoing some kind of liberation.

Click--
The honeycomb defense structure cracked, and Li Ming struck again. Even without the [Super Charged Strike], with the addition of various powers, the normal energy level was already close to 100X.

The Oath Keeper was terrified. Was Qinglong sick? She was not the one who started it, so why didn't he even listen to what she said?

She had no time to mobilize her body's energy. The hammer fell and tore apart most of her body. Flesh, blood, and bones splattered everywhere.

"You...we can talk! We can join forces to deal with those radicals, I can help you..." The Oath Keeper intended to ask the other party to stop. The other party had severely injured her at the beginning, and now he didn't give her any chance to react. She might be beaten to death.

Li Ming possessed the tank guard and didn't care about anything. All he had in his eyes was the broken body of the Oath Keeper, and he struck with one hammer after another.

This place has almost turned into a black ocean, and you can vaguely see the purple light exploding.

"Oh?" Suddenly, Li Ming paused, and the last hammer that was about to fall stopped abruptly in front of the mutilated head of the oath-keeper.

At this moment, only half of the opponent's body was left, and his breath was extremely weak.

“He withstood a full sixteen blows from me…” Li Ming guessed in his heart that this Oath Keeper probably hasn’t stepped into the ultimate path yet, but he’s probably close to it.

However, due to his sneak attack, he lost the initiative and was smashed into a meat paste.

"You..." The Oath Keeper's consciousness was almost dissipated. His spirit relied on his physical body to exist. Unless he was an evolved form with psychic powers, it would be difficult for him to exist outside his body.

"Qinglong, I...we can cooperate." The Oath Keeper's mental fluctuations were extremely weak, and it seemed that they would collapse in the next second.

Li Ming's body trembled, and six mechanical guards walked out of his body, "Watch them, don't let anyone leave here."

Then he threw out the [Folding Barracks], and a large number of mechanical bodies flew out of it and began to clean up the scene.

Most of the mother nest was reduced to dust under their attack, and only a small part remained because of its location.

Li Ming left the Oath Keeper behind simply because he wanted to extract the genetic essence and had already grabbed the other's broken head.

"Cooperation, do you know the coordinates of the other group's lair?" Li Ming asked, and suddenly realized that after upgrading to the [Ultimate Warrior], the speed of absorbing genetic essence has also increased significantly.

It might have taken more than an hour, but now it might only take half an hour.

"I..." The Oath Keeper tried hard to maintain his life. The buds on the wound squirmed and emitted a weak mental fluctuation. "I don't know, but we can find other ways..."

"Is there a secret that no one else knows but you know?" Li Ming continued to ask.

"As long as you let me go..." Oath Keeper responded with difficulty.

After hearing this, Li Ming lost all desire to communicate with the other party and just shook his head.

It's too stressful to deal with this kind of guy.

Seeing that he didn't speak, the Oath Keeper became more and more uneasy. She asked again and again, but Li Ming always ignored her.

It was not until she took the initiative to tell him some information that Li Ming showed interest. As a result, this guy stopped again. He wanted to know more and had to repair her body.

Li Ming completely lost interest. Half an hour passed quickly. After the gene essence was extracted, Li Ming couldn't help but mutter, "I don't know what the principle of extracting gene essence is. The body is so damaged, but it can still be extracted."

Ignoring the Oath Keeper's pleas, Li Ming crushed the last remaining piece of her body into dust.

This conservative leader has completely turned into cosmic dust.

Several S-class life forms that didn't have time to escape were caught by the mechanical guards, looking terrified and anxious.

The scene was still being cleaned up, with a large number of mechanical bodies shuttling through the ruins of the mother nest, sorting out useful things.

Li Ming was about to go over and interrogate those S-level life forms, but he turned his head suspiciously and his eyes fell on the place where the Oath Keeper had completely died. Strange ripples slowly appeared in the void, and strands of mysterious black energy intersected and entangled with each other, forming special symbols, and then gathered from all directions.

It flashed with strange light and carried unknown power, like a curtain covering the starry sky.

"What is this?" Li Ming looked around, vaguely surprised. Some black symbols even passed through his body.

Those black symbols gathered together continuously and finally formed a black sphere the size of a fist.

A dim light flickered on the surface, and the surrounding space was slightly distorted because of its existence, giving off a chilling aura.

Against the backdrop of the bright stars, it seems so out of place, yet it has a strange attraction.

"What is this thing?" Li Ming became excited and picked up a mechanical body and asked it to approach the black sphere first.

As a result, in Li Ming's eyes, as soon as the mechanical body approached within ten meters of the black sphere, black thunder burst out from all over its body.

The tadpole-like black symbols quickly spread all over its body, and then suddenly exploded, and the flames quickly disappeared.

Li Ming couldn't help but frown as he looked at the metal debris floating around him. "What is this thing? Does anyone know?"

He looked at the five S-class life forms that were being escorted here. The conservatives were indeed not doing very well. Any overlord in the Chaos Star Gap had more powerful forces under his command than this.

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

The five S-level life forms looked at each other, and after a moment they all shook their heads hesitantly.

"No one knows?" Li Ming frowned and waved his hand. A mechanical guard behind him walked up. It was King Zhentian.

Before he knew what this thing was used for, he would definitely not take the risk. Although the mechanical guards were precious, they were not as valuable as himself.

Soon, the mechanical guard broke through the distance of the previous mechanical body and came within ten meters, but no changes occurred.

"There is a special force that is eroding my body." King Zhen Tian reported in real time on the channel: "I can't tell the nature of the energy."

When King Zhentian approached three meters away from the black sphere, black symbols appeared on the surface of the metal shell.

Li Ming's heart moved slightly, and he immediately superimposed all the defenses. King Zhentian's defense strength doubled instantly, and those black symbols disappeared instantly.

It was not until King Zhentian completely held the black sphere in his hand that the black symbols slowly spread across the metal shell.

"In other words, as long as the strength is higher, it can withstand this kind of erosion?" Li Ming hesitated slightly, using the tank guard as a carrier, and let King Zhentian carefully place the black sphere in the palm of his hand.

The first moment it fell, Li Ming felt a strange itching sensation spreading from the ball.

He looked carefully for a long time. The black symbols spread on Tanwei's body extremely slowly, and it was difficult to distinguish them with the naked eye.

There is no prompt to control the page, this thing cannot be controlled.

Li Ming looked at it carefully. This black sphere was extremely delicate, with countless symbols densely covered on its surface, like tiny and mysterious tattoos, closely connected to each other, yet independent of each other.

There was no testing equipment at the moment, so he couldn't conduct a thorough test. He could only let the tank guard take it temporarily, and then asked those S-level life forms again: "Are you sure no one has seen this thing?"

Several people were very hesitant. Just when someone was about to speak, Li Ming added slowly, "If I find out that someone is lying to me, I will make you live a life worse than death."

After receiving the mental fluctuations, the life form that was about to speak turned pale.

"It's a secret that only the Oath Keeper knows. However, the Prophet and the Virgin Mary should also know it..." Li Ming pondered. Looking at the way this thing appeared, it seemed that it would only appear after the Oath Keeper died.

"Let's study it carefully when we get back. For now, let's clean up the scene first."

Li Ming raised his head and looked at the S-level life forms in front of him. "By the way, I have a few more questions to ask. I think you will cooperate, right?"

……

When Li Ming suddenly got angry, the Virgin Mary looked at the screen that suddenly went dark, her face gloomy, "The Oath Keeper has become so arrogant."

"The previous generation of Oath Keepers were no match for us. She was just lucky to have encountered this incident. She is so rampant."

The prophet was silent, and said helplessly: "Who let Li Ming fall into his hands?"

"My spiritual clone shouldn't have changed the plan without permission. Even if I found out that Li Ming is already an S-level life form, I should have followed the established plan to get the seeds first and then discuss it after returning."

"The two plans are at different levels. If we were planning to bring Li Ming back from the beginning, the plan executors would have been more rigorous in their review."

The Virgin Mary's expression eased and she shook her head, saying, "This is something no one could have imagined. Li Ming is an S-class life form. With all the facilities we have prepared, it would be difficult to just take the seeds."

"Your spiritual clone just doesn't want to return empty-handed. The three-digit development potential is really..." The Virgin Mary's eyes were full of greed.

The prophet glanced at the Virgin Mary's face and said solemnly, "If she is given time as the Oath Keeper said, she might be able to cultivate a large number of X-level life forms."

"I will try to contact her once more, hoping that she can understand that we are one after all. Otherwise, we will have no choice but to risk everything." The Virgin Mary returned her gaze to the virtual screen in front of her and tried to contact the Oath Keeper again, but this time she received no response.

"Very good." The Virgin Mary's eyes turned cold. Just as she was about to speak, someone came hurriedly and reported in a deep voice: "Virgin Mary, Prophet, we just received a special signal from our undercover agent in the conservative nest."

"The Conservative Nest?" The prophet's eyes narrowed slightly. "When?"

"Just now, the timestamp is - 24:76." The subordinate responded quickly.

The prophet looked at the Virgin Mary, who looked at the virtual screen and saw the call was hung for a while. She looked suspicious and said, "It was no more than a minute after it was hung up."

"Could it be that they have discovered our people and are passing information in secret?"

The prophet frowned, his spirit body still in great pain, unable to calm down and think: "I don't know, maybe this is also a trap."

"No matter what, let's send someone to check out the coordinates first. We must get Li Ming back at any cost." The Virgin Mary's voice was firm. This was no longer a matter of face, but a matter of life and death!

.........

"Although I'm not doing very well, there are still quite a lot of things."

On the suspended platform, Li Ming looked at the various items and materials that his mechanical bodies had sorted out from the ruins.

In the metal box on the left, there are irregular objects placed there. They are the Terrax Stones. There are quite a few of them, a total of twenty-four.

It filled his gap at once and could be used for a long time, much faster than trading them one by one.
