This is not mechanical ascension...

Chapter 444 Upgrade [Heart of Talos] [Dimension Walker]

Blosser did not dare to delay and spoke:
"In the interstellar space, there is a terrorist organization that calls itself the Holy Revolutionary Army. Under the banner of revolution, it creates unrest in various civilizations, causing great harm to many civilizations." Blosser finished his introduction and then said:

"The second proposal is whether to conduct a large-scale crackdown on the Holy Revolutionary Army."

As Blosser finished speaking, a low noisy sound was heard, and the many supervisors sitting nearby all looked a little surprised, obviously they didn't know about this matter either.

The expressions of the ten people in the field, except for Gust, changed slightly.

Adam, you are amazing.

After the establishment of the United Organization of Higher Life Forms, the first thing it did was to eliminate the Holy Revolutionary Army, which was a thorn in its side.

Although Li Ming was surprised, he was not shocked. He decided not to recruit additional personnel in a short period of time and not to replace board members within five years.

During this period, even if the United Organization of Higher Life Forms has its own little tricks, Adam will definitely be able to reap the benefits that come with it.

"Everyone, you can start voting." Blosser said in a low voice.

The ten people were silent and did not make any move. He wanted to say something but did not dare to urge them.

Gustav said indifferently, "Does the meeting host also have the right to propose a motion?"

Blosser was stunned, his face suddenly turned pale, and his voice stammered: "This...this..."

Why is it different from what we agreed?
Li Ming's eyes moved slightly. This Lord Gustav is really interesting.

If the first proposal was to express an attitude, then the current one has a bit of a confrontational intent.

"Don't make this mistake again next time." Gust said calmly, as if just giving a slight warning, "We can vote now. I agree to wipe out the Holy Revolutionary Army."

"I refuse." Anatoly smiled and shook his head. "Whether or not it is a terrorist organization is not defined by the Empire."

"I agree." Perkins hummed, as if he had an old grudge against the Holy Revolutionary Army. "These guys should have been wiped out long ago."

This second proposal has already caused disagreements. The Holy Revolutionary Army has spread everywhere and has connections with many higher life forms in the interstellar space.

"I agree..."

"I agree..."

Voices were heard one after another, and of the seven people left, five voted in favor, making the total number of votes ten.

Only Li Ming and Anduin did not express their opinions. It didn't matter whether they expressed their opinions or not, as they already had enough votes.

This is the first thing that must be done after the establishment of the United Organization of Higher Life Forms, and it is also equivalent to a battle to establish prestige.

"If the votes exceed ten, we, the members who voted in favor, will take relevant actions. Those who have not expressed their opinions or refused, please cooperate and do not hinder us." Gust's tone remained calm.

"Among you, there are new friends and old friends. We will work together for a long time, and I hope we will always be together."

The other nine people were silent. Gust said to himself, "Do you have any new proposals? If not, we can end this now."

Brosser's throat rolled, and just as he was about to announce the end of the meeting, a calm voice sounded: "I have..."

Suddenly, everyone's eyes looked over.

I... Broser had a mouthful of blood in his mouth and his heart was in his throat.

What is Qinglong doing again?

No one told him that this was just a routine meeting. Are these guys really going to make decisions on interstellar affairs?

Li Ming looked calm, "It's about the Mechanics Association. The interstellar world is in turmoil because of this, and we should have the obligation to calm this matter down."

Everyone had different expressions. Everyone knew that Qinglong was a master craftsman, and they all understood the intention behind this proposal.

But they all seemed to be thinking, if Qinglong can fight for benefits for himself, then so can they.

Fuck, Brosser panicked and said, "Sir Qinglong, our proposals must be followed, and the premise is not to interfere with the internal affairs of other civilizations."

"The Machinists' Association's matter is a matter of civilized self-examination. We have no right to adjudicate."

"However, wiping out the Holy Revolutionary Army seems to be an internal affair of civilization, right?" Anatoly said slowly.

"This is different..." Blosser said with sweat on his forehead. "The Holy Revolutionary Army is a terrorist organization. Every civilization has the responsibility to eliminate it. The Interstellar Alliance is responsible for uniting all parties."

It was a clear double standard, but Anatoly didn't say anything, and no one else supported the idea.

When it comes to the Mechanics Association, it’s not just the major civilizations that can get a piece of the pie.

"Forget it, I withdraw the proposal." Li Ming said suddenly again. He was just trying it out slightly, or just making a start, but he knew that the hope was slim.

Blosser spoke at the fastest speed: "Okay, okay, I declare that the first regular meeting of the Higher Life Forms United Organization has come to a successful conclusion. I hope you will not leak the content of the meeting!"

He had seen that Anatole was about to speak.

This dusk hermit, with a faint smile on his face, looked at Blosser and said lightly:
"What a pity! I was thinking about establishing a general evolutionary organization to absorb life forms from all evolutionary levels..."

Brosser didn't dare to look up, shuddered, and made up his mind never to preside over this damn meeting again.

Many supervisors murmured in their hearts that this first regular meeting was not what they had imagined, and it seemed that it was not just a formality.

As the meeting came to an end, the virtual projections around gradually dissipated.

The lights in the room came on. Li Ming sat in his seat, messages on his smart terminal kept ringing, and he was pulled into various group chats.

The template for the plan to wipe out the Holy Revolutionary Army has been put on the table and has obviously been prepared long ago, with the call first being made at the official level.

Civilizations willing to conduct internal cleanup will receive assistance from a coalition of higher life forms, similar to mercenaries.

This form relieves these civilizations of a major concern.

In the past, even if there were traces of the Holy Revolutionary Army's activities within the country, they would not dare to reach out to large civilizations unless they were in danger of overthrow.

It is easy to invite a god but difficult to send him away. After he comes, he insists on building a military base in your territory. Will you agree or not?

"This organization started out as a group of high-level thugs. The Holy Revolutionary Army might be in trouble..." Li Ming glanced at the action plan, but the Holy Revolutionary Army had nothing to do with him. Even if he wanted to gain benefits from it, it was not now.

This news cannot be concealed. I'm afraid someone has already informed the Holy Revolutionary Army. It depends on how they respond.

Interstellar transfers, even with star gates, are all measured in months. Although the plan has been preliminarily finalized, it can only be implemented slowly, and this process will not be short.

After the regular meeting, the organization was successfully established. During the first contact, everyone was very restrained and no one could tell what their positions or conflicts of interest were. But it is hard to say what will happen in the future.

He also felt that Adam could not suppress this organization at all. In three to five years, before he let go, this organization would get out of control.

The three major civilizations combined can barely suppress it.

Of course, it is a united organization of higher life forms after it has been fully developed.

"After I die, I won't care about the flood." Li Ming sighed secretly.

This is probably what Adam was thinking. In order to completely control the entire empire, he would not hesitate to release this behemoth.

"I'd better just focus on my development..." Li Ming shook his head, returned to his room, switched to the development system, and equipped himself with various auxiliary equipment.

Gulp - after swallowing the S-level development potion, his body gradually boiled, and energy particles enveloped him. ...

At the same time, in another chaotic star gap.

On a certain planet, a huge palace was suspended in the sky, and the ground was covered with densely packed high towers, runes flashing, and energy surging.

Anduin walked out of a room in the temple, his purple robe dragging on the ground, his face thoughtful.

Suddenly, my heart skipped a beat and I felt a darkness beneath my body. I looked up and found that Barbaro had stood in front of me without me noticing.

"How did the meeting go?" Barbaro clasped his fists, looking quite unhappy.

"Just a routine matter." Anduin shook his head.

Barbaroel asked, "What did you discuss?"

Anduin didn't want to say more, "Nothing."

"Heh..." Barbaro sneered, "Is it so secretive?"

Anduin was speechless. "I can't tell you directly. You will probably hear the news after a while."

Hearing this, Barbaroel became even more dissatisfied, "Just tell me when you can join."

"There's no definite time..." Anduin didn't hide it this time, "but I don't think it will take long. You can take a bath in a star and that will be enough."

Barbaro frowned: "What status do you ten people have?"

Anduin hesitated and said, "The board of directors has a voting system. All matters must be decided by the board of directors."

"Ha... I knew it." Barbaro said with a look of expectedness, "You ten people have already taken the lead."

Anduin just shook his head, and Barbaroer urged, "The meeting is over, can we set off now?"

Anduin stared at him and explained, "You still want to go? The board of directors will not be replaced within five years. Even if you defeat the Azure Dragon, you will not be allowed to take the position."

"Really?" Barbaro said calmly, "Did they agree in the meeting what to do if a member of the board of directors voluntarily withdraws during this period?"

Anduin suddenly became confused and uncertain. This was indeed a loophole.

The Empire would not have failed to realize that it could take advantage of this loophole and replace the board members in advance, probably because it had failed to reach an agreement with other civilizations.

"If you don't go, I'll go by myself," Barbaro urged.

"Why do you have to target Azure Dragon?" Anduin said helplessly, "He is a master craftsman after all, it's good to have a good relationship with him."

Barbaro was honest: "Among the ten people, the only one I can beat in terms of apparent strength is Qinglong."

"You said it was just the surface. Do you think Qinglong only has that mecha?" Anduin shook his head.

"What if?" Barbaro said, and added, "Only if I defeat him can I guarantee a seat on the board."

"Who gave you the promise?" Anduin frowned, "Who asked you to test the Azure Dragon?"

"Don't worry about it. If you don't want to go, I'll go by myself." Barbaro was too lazy to talk any more nonsense and turned away.

Anduin thought for a moment and could only follow.

……

“The stuff finally arrived.”

After receiving the news from Suzaku, Li Ming hurried out of the room and came to the warehouse.

Ulrich was here, and the hovercraft was putting several metal boxes into storage.

"No need to put it into storage, just send it directly to my room." Li Ming rubbed his hands. It was the materials sent to him by the Holy Mother Church. They had finally arrived.

"Yes." Ulrich nodded and quickly arranged it. Li Ming casually asked, "How did this thing get here?"

"Giant Shield Company..." Ulrich looked up and said, "However, the waybill numbers on them are all forged, and the personnel sent here are just peripheral members, and we don't know where they came from."

As expected, Li Ming nodded and watched the boxes being placed on the small anti-gravity transport vehicle, and then returned to the room.

After closing the door, Li Ming opened the box, which contained neatly arranged star marrow alloys. They had a deep and mysterious color, and the overall tone tended to be dark blue.

Occasionally, there would be streaks of purple light wandering across its surface, as if absorbing all the bright light of the stars.

The texture is delicate and uniform, the surface is as smooth as a mirror, and it faintly reflects a dreamy glimmer, without a trace of flaws or lines.

When the light in the room falls, it does not produce strong reflections like ordinary metals, but instead cleverly absorbs the light, making it more restrained.

High-grade alloys, each with their own properties, look like beautiful works of art and are the pinnacle of technology.

Li Ming admired it for a while, then began to absorb the metal energy.

Soon, 300 million metal energies were absorbed, and the remaining metal energy exceeded 1 billion, reaching 1.2 billion.

"Upgrade, upgrade!"

Li Ming couldn't wait any longer and opened the control page. There was a portion of World Blood, so naturally he would upgrade the controlled object.

As for what to upgrade, he had already decided in his mind, naturally it was the core of his main combat system, [Heart of Talos].

It only costs 60 million to control the [Heart of Talos], but when combined with the upgrade of the World Blood, the requirement has reached 1 billion metal energy.

A billion metal energies surged out, along with a portion of the world's blood, and poured into the Heart of Talos.

On the control page, the scarlet yellow heart with black stripes on the surface was gradually enveloped by the bright light and gradually became brighter. The stripes on it also underwent subtle changes under the infiltration of the light.

As if endowed with new vitality and strength, the light continues to penetrate into every inch of the heart's texture, causing its internal structure to be silently reshaped and evolved, and then fed back to the surface.

The scarlet color gradually turns into golden yellow, and the black texture becomes more uniform, deeper, and more refined.

[Heart of Talos - Level X: The heart of a powerful life form from the deep dimensional world, possessing various strange abilities.

Control Effect: Star Breaking Power

Control ability - Transplant: Can temporarily replace one's own heart, and convert the power blessing into one of speed, defense, and physical strength at will.

Control Ability——Dimension Walker: You can control part of the power of a certain dimensional world. 】

[Star-breaking Power: Gain a hundred times the power]

The power blessing became a hundred times greater.

It is estimated that the infinite hammer is this blessing.

"It's this new ability, the ability to control dimensional power, that will allow me to find Chronoa..." Li Ming muttered. He was quite curious about what it would specifically manifest.

But it was obviously impossible for him to go and play with Klonoa now.

As he thought about it, his heart suddenly moved and he directly activated his [Transplant] ability.
