This is not mechanical ascension...

Chapter 477 The Value of Using All Means

"A wall?" everyone thought.

"Invisible wall?" Li Ming was also wondering, isn't it a metal wall?
Everyone kept asking, wanting to know more. Mikhail paused and said helplessly: "Although I don't want to repeat this, I still have to say that we have exhausted all means."

Everyone looked at each other with strange expressions. It was the first time they saw these words, and they were indeed quite cautious and solemn.

Then we saw Li Ming's hard-won victory in the ring.

The second time I heard this sentence, I also saw an extremely hard block of metal, which was then opened inexplicably by Li Ming.

The previous laboratory was directly blown up by the Yuan clan.

When they heard it again this time, there was no ripple in their hearts.

This sentence no longer has any value.

Mikhail also knew this would be the result, so he simply kept silent and led the way. After flying for a while, he stopped and looked at the outer edge with a serious expression.

"The space-time molecular lock has collapsed, and the collapse is accelerating... We have less than a month left."

"Only one month left?" Cedric was surprised. It was three months just now, but now there is only one month left.

"The explosion just now caused a chain reaction..." Mikhail said in a deep voice: "The space-time molecular lock in this area and the space-time isolation state of the outside world formed a clever balance, which prevented this area from collapsing, but now this balance has been broken."

"As soon as possible." He frowned and continued to lead the way.

"It seems to be heading to the center of the ruins..." Li Ming estimated the direction. He also had a complete model of the ruins in his hand, so he could roughly guess the location.

While thinking about it, he opened the control page, found the remaining two mechanical guards, and secretly upgraded them.

More than three billion pieces of metal energy must be used when necessary.

The Yuan Clan is watching from the dark. When we get to the last place, we don't know if there will be any hidden dangers. We should upgrade first.

The remaining two mechanical guards were undergoing silent changes in the control bar, and the logo became more refined and complete.

With six S-class mechanical guards on his body and armed as guards, his overall energy level exceeds 600X, which is stronger than Lancaster.

As long as you are not facing siege from multiple people, you can basically handle it with ease.

While he was upgrading the Mechanical Guard, a small spaceship, the Red River Star Stream, had already crossed the storm zone and arrived at the core area.

There is turbulence of time and space almost everywhere here, interweaving and colliding with each other, and surging and twisting without any regularity.

Under the influence of these turbulent currents, the space became extremely unstable, sometimes expanding and sometimes contracting, as if it would collapse at any time.

The light is refracted and scattered, forming strange halos, as if it were a pool filled with colored inks, placing you in an illusory and blurry dream.

Every turbulence contains unpredictable forces. If you touch it carelessly, you may be sucked into an endless vortex of time and space and lost forever in an unknown dimension.

But this small spaceship is extremely strong. Not only is its material extremely hard, but its surface is also covered with layers of various symbols. It passes through various turbulences dangerously.

In the spaceship, the Virgin Mary looked at the chaotic data on the screen with lingering fear, "The time and space turbulence in this core area is far more terrible than we imagined. If it weren't for Mr. Levenbeck's spaceship, I'm afraid we wouldn't be able to move forward."

Levenbeck looked solemn, his flesh and blood connected to the port of the spacecraft, continuously providing alchemical substances to the spacecraft to support its operation.

"How far is it? If we go deeper, my spaceship won't be able to withstand it." Levenback said in a deep voice.

"It's almost there. I feel it's very close." The prophet stretched out his hand, as if sensing something.

Levenbeck had a blank expression on his face. The other party had been saying this since half a month ago.

"If Qinglong can establish his own base in a place like this, isn't it a little too scary?" The Virgin Mary said hesitantly.

"Now that we're here, you two can't back down, right?" Levenbaker glanced over.

"It's just surprising. The strength of Azure Dragon or Forging Hammer shouldn't be this high." The Virgin Mary shook her head. They had not thoroughly penetrated the Red River Star Stream.

The situation in the core area was even more terrifying than they had imagined. Just sailing here was extremely dangerous, not to mention establishing a base.

If Qinglong can really do it, his strength would be unimaginable.

Before Levenbeck could respond, the three of them felt the hull shake, and everything in front of them suddenly changed, as if they were leaping away.

Then, it seemed as if I had entered a desolate starry universe. It was pitch black and silent. The turbulence of time and space around me disappeared, and everything returned to silence.

"This is..." Levenbeck looked slightly stunned.

The three of them became alert and carefully observed their surroundings. It was as if they were in a black hole, with no visible edges and no concept of space.

The three of them left the spaceship carefully. Even though they were well-informed X-level life forms, they couldn't help feeling a little panic at this moment.

"What is this place? Is this Qinglong's base?" The Virgin Mary couldn't help but ask.

"Something's wrong..." Levenback frowned, and then his pupils suddenly contracted, "Here it comes!"

boom!
An invisible ripple came from nowhere and violently crushed the three people. Their faces turned pale in an instant, blood gushed out of their mouths, and the clothes on their bodies were torn to pieces by this force, revealing the scarred skin underneath.

Under this powerful impact, the bones made crisp breaking sounds, as if they were hit hard by a huge hammer.

Levenbaker only felt dizzy, cracks appeared on the surface of his body, and he seemed to be disintegrating.

"What is that? Where did the attack come from?" The Virgin Mary's eyes were filled with fear: "Is it the Azure Dragon?"

The prophet staggered and his spirit was severely damaged.

After a while, the three of them tidied themselves up and calmed their minds, but there was no follow-up.

After a brief discussion, the three decided to separate temporarily and explore the situation in this space first.

Unexpectedly, not long after, the second wave of attack came without warning.

But having had this experience once before, the three of them were well prepared this time and did not suffer too much trauma.

"It seems that no one is controlling this attack." Levenbeck vaguely realized.

"Found it." The prophet's mental fluctuations came, and the other two quickly flew over.

"The fluctuations are coming from here." The prophet pointed to the void in front of him.

There was nothing in front of him, so Levenback tried to fly forward.

Sure enough, he felt an invisible barrier, and with a touch, a piece of flesh and blood fell on it.

With the supply of alchemical substances, this piece of flesh and blood began to proliferate wildly, spreading in all directions.

The barrier in front of him seemed to have no boundaries, and the red flesh and blood seemed to expand to infinity.

Buzz--
Suddenly, the flesh on the surface began to tremble and ripples gathered.

The three people's faces changed and they made preparations, and as expected, it happened.

The next moment, the wave exploded again, and all the flesh and blood attached to the barrier were blown into powder.

"…There's something behind this…" Levenback frowned, "Could it be that Qinglong's base is behind this?"

"No..." He shook his head again, feeling that it was not that simple, but he could not explain why. The outside world had never recorded this area. Although they had penetrated deep into the core of the Red River Star Stream, they were definitely not the ones who had reached the deepest part.

"Try to open it..." Levenbaker said in a deep voice.

"Try to open it?" The prophet frowned. "I feel that this is not a good choice."

Levenbaker scoffed, "I know this isn't a good choice, but it seems to be our only option."

The Prophet and the Virgin Mary looked around and remained silent.

……

"right here?"

In the ruins of the Holy Spirit Civilization, everyone landed in front of an open space.

There was nothing around, except for a broken metal staircase a few hundred meters away, which extended into the air.

At the end was a portal with a shimmering blue vortex, which seemed to lead to somewhere.

"This should be the central part of the entire ruins. This staircase portal should lead to a very important place." Mikhail said, "But there is an invisible barrier around it, as if isolating the stairs from this area."

"No space folding phenomenon was found, nor any energy fluctuations." There was a gleam in Deus' pupils as he looked around.

"That invisible barrier cannot be detected by any means. As for the folded space, if it was so easy to detect, we wouldn't have to wait until now."

Mikhail shook his head and said the same thing, "Everyone, please feel free to do as you please."

Li Ming was looking around quietly, and then he felt that everyone's eyes were focused on him again.
"Again?" He was speechless and said helplessly: "My Lords, you think my teacher is too omnipotent."

"Is there really no way? There is only one month left, and there is no time to waste." Costat asked.

Li Ming sighed and said, "Then I'll go over and see what's going on. I can't guarantee that it can be opened."

"Are you sure it won't cause any explosion?" he asked Mikhail, and when he saw the other party nod, he moved over carefully.

Until I reached the stairs, I didn't see any invisible barrier.

Carefully step up one step at a time until you are standing still on the stairs.

He was slightly stunned: "Not yet? That invisible barrier shouldn't be in front of the vortex portal, right?"

He turned his head, trying to determine where the so-called invisible energy barrier was.

However, he discovered that a dazzling light was blooming in Mikhail's mechanical pupils. Reynolds looked at him in astonishment, "Just walked over like that? Where's the barrier?"

"What do you mean?" Costat looked over.

"The barrier is just a hundred meters outside the stairs. How did he just walk over there?" Reynolds said in a shaky voice.

"This kid is really hiding." Crow couldn't help but say coldly.

"No..." Mikhail suddenly shot out and landed beside Li Ming, looking dazed, "Is it really gone?"

Does he mean that I have already passed the barrier?
Li Ming was speechless, but then his eyes rolled and he wanted to take credit.

Unexpectedly, Mikhail suddenly spoke, his mechanical pupils moving at high speed, and his voice was high-pitched, "So that's how it is. The invisible barrier is not a defense facility, but a paradoxical membrane produced by the space-time molecular lock and isolation state. Now that the balance is broken, everything is fading, and the membrane will naturally disappear."

Li Ming opened his mouth and closed it again. You are really amazing, old man. How do you know everything?

"So that's how it is..." Reynolds couldn't help but sigh, "Ah, who knows what Forging Hammer's expression would be if he saw that we opened all three places this time."

"What's there to be sad about? Just hurry in." Gonzalez shook his head, walked past a few people, and appeared in front of the metal door in one step.

Everyone's expressions tensed and they followed closely, then they discovered that Gonzalez, who intended to step into the metal door, was blocked outside.

"What's going on? Is there still any obstruction?" Gonzalez became more and more impatient.

"Some kind of membrane?" Dius tried to reach out, and Gonzalez's face suddenly changed, "How is this possible!"

I saw Dius's slender arm sinking directly into the energy vortex, and he could even pull it back.

"Why am I blocked?" Gonzalez looked grim and tried again, but the result was the same.

"Let me try..." Costat walked forward without any obstruction.

"What kind of crazy mechanism is this?" Gonzalez was extremely angry.

"Let me try." Claude walked forward and stretched out his hand, but it was as if he hit a wall. Even though he secretly increased his strength, it was of no use.

"I can't get in either?" Claude was stunned, and the others were also a little surprised.

Both people from the Covenant can’t get in?

Then, others tried one after another, including Li Ming, and all of them were able to enter.

Except for the mechanical body that follows.

"Are you treated the same as the mechanical bodies?" Reynolds grinned, gloating.

Claude and Gonzalez both had gloomy faces and glanced at everyone present, anger rising in their hearts.

Is it because of the genetic source?
Li Ming had some vague guesses in his mind that the development potential of these two guys was almost zero, so they sat at the same table with the mechanical bodies.

"It seems that I'll have to trouble you two to wait outside for a while." Cedric said with a smile.

Everyone is in a good mood. It is human nature to hate others for what they have and to be happy for others for what they don't.

"You guys..." Gonzalez's emotions were boiling. This was a blatant targeting. Only the two of them from the Covenant couldn't get in.

"What the hell is going on, Mikhail!" Klaue asked angrily.

"I don't know." Mikhail shook his head. The two X-class mechanical bodies that had been following him began to shrink, and then his chest opened and shrank inside.

Reynolds also has a similar method to put away the mechanical body.

Their mechanical bodies are no match for Gonzalez in terms of strength.

If the other party is angry and takes the opportunity to cause sabotage, the losses will probably be quite heavy.

"Leave a mechanical body outside to stand guard..." Li Ming's eyes moved slightly, and he casually threw out a low-level mechanical body and placed it next to the door.

"You can't go in."

Seeing that several people were ready, Claude's heart was boiling with resentment and he couldn't help but say.

"Ha..." Cedric sneered, "Are you trying to boss us around?"

Gonzalez said in a deep voice, "There may be danger here. It's better to find out what's going on."

"This is a ruin. What remains cannot be considered as intentionally designed danger." Mikhail shook his head.

Others looked on indifferently and no one spoke up for them.
