This is not mechanical ascension...

Chapter 487 Mechanical Holy Spirit——Qinglong!

"Completely dissipated?" Raphael was stunned. "The forging hammer has been there so many times and nothing happened. Why did it collapse the moment you went there?"

Everyone was speechless. Although what he said was true, it sounded so strange.

Then, Raphael murmured, "The harvest should be great."

The occurrence of such a major change must mean that something extraordinary has occurred.

"Harvest..." Everyone looked at each other with a strange look on their faces.

"Originally we could say that we didn't gain anything, but now it's hard to say." Costat looked towards the mechanical army in the distance.

Raphael was puzzled at once. Tandin descended from the sky and said indifferently, "Didn't the forging hammer hollow out that place?"

"Sir Tandin..." Costat nodded, "Most of the things have indeed been taken away by the Forging Hammer Master and the other two Masters after many explorations."

"However, there is actually a head of an ultimate mechanical body left there, which holds the secret to revive the Holy Spirit civilization."

"Huh?" Raphael immediately turned his attention, and Granger also turned to look.

"Secret? What secret?" Tandin couldn't help but be curious.

"Specifically... we don't know yet." Costat said helplessly.

"What do you mean? The thing is not in your hands?" Alves came from another direction and everyone made way for him.

Dius seemed a little ashamed and spoke stiffly: "It is indeed not in our hands. It is... in Li Ming's hands."

"Li Ming?" Alvis was slightly stunned, with a thoughtful look in his eyes. "This name is familiar. Is he the student of Qinglong, with the potential for development at level 60, and the best in interstellar history?"

"Qinglong..." Tandin frowned slightly. He was not unfamiliar with this name. He had heard it several times within the empire, with both praise and criticism.

But he had not paid much attention to it before. Every once in a while, a powerful life form would appear in the interstellar space and then lead the trend.

Some will die inexplicably, some will realize that keeping a low profile is the way to survive, and then disappear without a trace.

"Yes, it's him..." Dius nodded, then hesitated and said, "However, Li Ming's development potential is not level 60."

"Not level 60?" Alvis raised his eyebrows and said calmly, "It must be a rumor spread by StarCraft."

"It's not a rumor, it's actually higher than you imagined." Lancaster couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"Higher than I imagined?" Raphael was surprised.

"He is already an S-class life form," Costat added.

Several eyes looked at him in astonishment.

Granger's face turned pale with horror, and he couldn't help but ask, "His biological age seems to be only 25 years old, right?"

Tandin's eyes sparkled, "Interesting..."

Alves was silent for a moment, then asked in confusion: "With such high development potential, Qinglong actually sent him directly to explore the ruins with you? Isn't he afraid of danger?"

"This is a complicated matter..." Costat said, "Qinglong knows more about the ruins of the Holy Spirit Civilization than we thought..."

Then, he recounted everything that had happened in the ruins of the Holy Spirit Civilization in detail.

During this time, others made some additions, but Gonzalez seemed to want to say something several times but did not speak, trying hard to conceal his presence.

Listening to him speak, several people had different expressions.

"He is the biggest winner." Tandin couldn't help but be surprised and said with interest:

"This Qinglong really should not be underestimated. With several mechanical bodies working together, their strength can actually surpass Lancaster. His mechanical attainments are probably approaching that of a forging hammer."

"I'm curious about how terrifying the potential that even the Protoss admire is." Alvis said slowly.

"Your doubts will be answered soon." Granger looked at the mechanical army in the distance, his scarlet pupils burning with heat.

"Unfortunately, Qinglong is not here this time." Raphael sighed, "This is a rare opportunity."

The Red River Star Stream is completely closed, and the outside world has no idea what is happening.

It is also extremely unsuitable for large-scale mechanical combat, resulting in Mikhail and Reynolds not carrying many mechanical bodies.

If we were outside, it would not be so easy to capture these two master craftsmen.

Under normal circumstances, even their real bodies cannot be seen, let alone how many mechanical bodies they have accumulated.

Costat's eyes flickered slightly, and Qinglong seemed to be related to some of Adam's plans.

If it were really taken down, it would be hard to say whether it would be a good thing or a bad thing. The current situation is extremely appropriate.

He was also quite curious about Li Ming, and perhaps he would get unexpected gains.

Alves smiled and said, "It just so happens that because of the existence of this corpse, we are going to establish a joint research center. These two master craftsmen can come in handy. By the way, we can also study that Li Ming. Such high potential is a bit unusual."

Gonzalez's throat rolled. This group of people decided Li Ming's fate with just a few words.

But he did not feel any excitement, only endless fear.

Everyone's faces couldn't help but change, and they felt that the world is unpredictable. They didn't expect that their plan was completed in an unexpected way.

After that, Alves looked around at the crowd and said, "Oh, and Mr. Gonzalez."

Everyone looked at him in tacit understanding. Gonzalez faced the pressure and forced out an ugly smile, "That..."

.........

In an unknown land, amidst the violent star stream, the bloody little spaceship was still struggling to navigate, pulling on its giant arm of flesh and blood.

In the spaceship, Levenback looked at the virtual screen in front of him with a look of doubt and confusion, "Why are they here to join in the fun?"

"Who?"

The Prophet and the Virgin Mary looked at them suspiciously, took a quick glance, and asked in surprise, "Mechanical Legion?"

"Look at that mechanical squid, it's clearly Reynolds' style. The prismatic particle spire should have been built by Mikhail..." Levenback explained. His identity had been revealed long ago, and now he speaks very unscrupulously.

"There are also fleets from three major civilizations, and those people seem to be Costat..." Levenbeck was not sure either. The signal was too vague and could only be connected occasionally.

"He should be someone who explored the ruins of the Holy Spirit Civilization..." Levenbeck speculated. He naturally knew about the ruins of the Holy Spirit Civilization and had even been there.

Everything that could be taken from there had already been taken by his teacher.

"It's over so soon?" The Virgin Mary was surprised. She also knew about this and thought, "Maybe he noticed the changes in the Red River Star Stream, so he went there."

After saying that, he couldn't help but let out a cold smile, "It seems that these people have fallen into a trap. With such a big thing, the Empire and the Federation will never let them leave."

"I remember that Qinglong seemed to be one of the participants." The prophet suddenly said.

Levenbeck's eyes narrowed slightly, "That's interesting. Tandin and Alves have joined forces. It will be difficult to escape without paying a price."

"Even if you pay a price, you may not be able to escape." The Virgin Mary said lightly. After cutting off a piece of her arm, she became more calm.

"Perhaps, this great worry will disappear."

At this point, her face froze, and she thought of the Oath Keeper Stone. But as long as she made a breakthrough in this arm, she would be able to get the Oath Keeper Stone back sooner or later.

"Let's stop first." Levenback frowned and said in a deep voice, stopping sailing will help stabilize the signal.

The Prophet and the Virgin Mary had no objection, and they also wanted to know what the outcome would be.

.........

"Mr. Gonzalez is indeed sensible..." Alves smiled, "Once the shackle genes from the empire arrive, you can work for the research center we jointly founded."

Gonzalez nodded reluctantly. This meant he was being leashed and would never be free again.

But at least he saved his life, because he was considered a high-ranking member of the Star Alliance and knew a lot of secrets, so he was very valuable.

"Well, it's those guys next." Alvis turned around and looked at the mechanical army, smiling: "It seems that they are still not going to show up."

"The mechanical army is shrinking. Are they preparing to fight to the last?" Gonzalez whispered. He had been incorporated and was considered half of his own.

"It shouldn't be so unwise." Alves shook his head, "Although they have a backup consciousness, it is no longer their own."

He said with a hint of sarcasm: "Could it be that their bones are harder than Mr. Gonzalez's?"

Gonzalez was angry, but he didn't dare to say anything. He just reminded: "Li Ming has a lot of tricks, and he is young and energetic. I'm afraid he won't surrender easily."

"Gonzalez, you'd better take care of yourself. Li Ming's value is far above yours." Costat said with a slight warning.

Gonzalez lowered his head with a grim look on his face.

From the moment Gonzalez chose to surrender, everyone no longer regarded him as someone on the same level.

It’s not wrong to cherish life, but we must also be worthy of the huge resources provided by civilization.

"Let them surrender. There will inevitably be casualties if we fight..." Tan Ding said lightly.

As they were talking, they suddenly saw a faint light in the center of the mechanical army, and then it quickly spread.

"What is that?" Costat discovered it immediately.

The bright light spread into a golden sphere in the blink of an eye, encompassing a large number of mechanical bodies surrounding it, and more mechanical bodies shrank inward.

"Are you really prepared to fight to the end?" A cold light flashed in Tandin's eyes.

Although I don't know what that thing is, I haven't thought about it fully and successfully.

He leaped into a stream of light, tearing out a torrent of energy that shot straight forward.

He has evolved to an incredible level. The moment he stretched out his hand, the seemingly ordinary arm suddenly underwent a drastic change. In the blink of an eye, it turned into a hideous giant hairy hand covered with black flames.

The blazing black flames on it jumped and raged wildly on every hair, exuding a violent aura.

The high temperature emitted was so powerful that even in this space, the black material below began to boil.

The giant hand pressed down, and the void was distorted wherever it passed.

"You're still so violent." Alves couldn't help but frown.

Costat's face changed slightly. He was really afraid that Li Ming would be beaten to death.

Tandin had an indifferent expression. He fought with all his strength like a lion fighting a rabbit. With many years of combat experience, he had never known what mercy was.

Since the other party has chosen to resist, we can only say anything after he survives.

"That is…!"

However, the next moment, everyone's faces changed drastically.

The originally bright golden ball of light began to tremble violently at this moment, and the light flickered, as if it was under tremendous pressure.

In the midst of this violent tremor, an object emitting dazzling golden light suddenly swung out, like an arm or a whip.

The golden arm grasped the timing perfectly, saw through the attack trajectory of the black giant hand, and collided with it head-on.

boom!
Time and space stopped, and everything around became silent.

Immediately afterwards, an extremely brilliant light suddenly burst out, and the golden and black lights intertwined and collided with each other, forming a huge energy vortex.

Powerful energy fluctuations spread wildly in all directions, tearing everything to pieces wherever they went.

A strong aura came towards them, and a large number of spaceships and warships flew around.

"This is..." Alves pointed the scepter in his hand, and ripples appeared at the end, which instantly turned into a sky-rolling curtain, protecting the surrounding spaceships.

His expression was restrained and even a little solemn.

The people around him stared at the center of the field, trying to see clearly what was happening.

Tandin frowned, and saw the light on the golden arm gradually fade away.

Only then did I realize that it was not actually an arm, but more like the tail of some creature.

It is thick and solid, with a light blue surface covered with golden lines. There are vertical ridges on the back that extend into the ball of light.

And that golden ball of light, at the moment of collision, had expanded again, merging all the mechanical legions around it.

Just as Tandin was about to make his move again, the golden ball of light suddenly exploded in front of him. In the shattered light, he paused for a moment, and then his pupils suddenly condensed into needles, "This is..."

"Yan!"

A high-pitched roar, suspected to be a mental fluctuation, rang in everyone's ears.

"This is…"

Amid the shocked, horrified or puzzled gazes of the crowd, a gigantic creature with no end in sight suddenly rushed out from the shattered golden ball of light.

The whole body was covered in golden light, but it faded away in an instant. Each piece of metal dragon scale seemed to be carefully crafted, with breathtaking craftsmanship. They were closely arranged and fit perfectly with each other.

It is filled with intricate energy pathways, with light flowing rapidly like electric current, forming substantial patterns.

Its head is held high, looking majestic and awe-inspiring, and it has a pair of forked mechanical horns.

Its mechanical pupils are in a multi-ring concentric shape, layered upon layer, complex and mysterious.

There are even flexible metal whiskers floating on both sides of the nose.

Its body stretched out in a winding manner, hovering in the void. Its thick metal claws were like pillars supporting the sky. Its tail swung at will, causing ripples in the surrounding void.

Everyone's heart seemed to be gripped, unspeakable emotions exploded in their hearts, and they were shocked and speechless.

This is actually a giant blue mechanical dragon - Qinglong!

A strong sense of oppression came over them, and the radars of all the spacecraft present made harsh beeping sounds.

The winding metal dragon body seemed to have no end, filling everyone's vision and impacting their hearts.
