This is not mechanical ascension...

Chapter 489 The reason why the corpse appeared is that Qinglong is the forging hammer!

Gonzalez is not a man who can face death calmly, otherwise he would not choose to surrender.

At this moment, with life and death imminent, he had almost no time to think and wanted to beg for mercy.

However, a terrifying force squeezed in from the outside, even though his physical strength had already surpassed ordinary people's imagination and had been tempered and strengthened countless times.

But in the face of this power, it also seems so fragile.

In the blink of an eye, his cheeks turned liver color and veins bulged on his forehead, as if trying to break free from the constraints of his skin.

Every blood vessel stood out under the tremendous pressure, as if it would burst at any time.

He struggled desperately, trying to mobilize all his strength to resist the horrific pressure from the outside, but everything seemed so futile.

Silently, a ball of blood spurted out from the metal palm, and Gonzalez's body was crushed to pieces. His head flew out due to the high congestion, but was immediately pierced by a beam of energy.

The death was extremely brutal.

Li Ming was thinking in his heart, and the hidden danger of Gonzalez was eliminated.

His death was almost tied to this corpse, and it was impossible for the people present to leak it. It was a perfect opportunity.

Kostat's throat rolled and he quickly retreated a long distance. The others followed suit, with only one thought in their minds.

Young people, you are really vindictive.

Gonzalez had targeted Li Ming many times, so it was not surprising that he was killed.

They were just afraid that this guy would kill them too when he got the chance.

"He is a member of the Star Alliance. Why do you keep him? What if he informs the public? Wouldn't that be disastrous?" Li Ming finally spoke, facing Tandin's unfriendly gaze, his tone even sounded a little innocent.

"Don't we know that he is from the Star Alliance?" Tan Ding said in a deep voice, "He has chosen to surrender."

"Submit?" Li Ming was stunned. "You dare to use such a person?"

"It doesn't matter." Alves shook his head. The person was dead and no one would take charge of Gonzalez.

It’s not that they don’t have time to stop it, but they also want to see the power of this Mechanical Holy Spirit.

At this moment, they were all a little surprised. The strength of this Mechanical Holy Spirit was vaguely higher than they had imagined.

"Now that the deal has been concluded, do you want to go take a look at the body below?" Alves took the initiative to invite: "We still have many questions about this body."

"Okay." Li Ming agreed immediately, and was very curious.

Unexpectedly, Alves said, "Where are the two master craftsmen? Do you want to come out and check it out together?"

"No need, this is fine." Li Ming refused.

"Don't worry, now that the deal has been made, we won't go back on our word," Alves said softly.

"Oh." Li Ming's reaction was indifferent. "Are you letting us see it or not? If not, we will leave now. Contact us again after the joint laboratory is established."

Alves smiled helplessly and said sideways: "Please."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Mechanical Holy Spirit appeared above the corpse, moving silently.

Li Ming looked down and saw that the various modules of the Mechanical Holy Spirit were playing a role, collecting environmental information, building corpse models, and conducting in-depth analysis.

There are only a limited number of Overlord-level Terraks, and they are at the level that can build the Holy Castle. They must have names. I should go back and ask the Supervisor, Li Ming thought to himself.

"Except for the broken arm, there is no wound on the skin surface?" Reynolds couldn't help but be surprised. "He wasn't injured, and he wasn't beaten to death. Could it be that his life span has come to an end?"

"It's unlikely. If their lifespan is over, the Terraxians will surely perish on their own. So far, no more than three Terraxian corpses have been found in the interstellar space, and they are all low-level."

Mikhail retorted, "It's just that the wound on the arm is a little weird."

Li Ming also noticed this and took a closer look. The wound on the broken arm was very irregular, with jagged marks, as if it was caused by some irregular object cutting for a long time.

The muscles were scarlet in color, with distinct and clear textures, without any blood spilling out, only the black marks on the wounds, which looked very familiar.

"Why does it feel like this wound was made recently?" Mikhail became more and more suspicious.

"As expected of a master craftsman..." Alvis said, "You have also discovered that this wound should have been caused after the corpse appeared."

"You mean, someone has visited this corpse before you?" Li Ming asked in amazement, "But you came fast enough."

"Yes, so we suspect that the person who cut off this arm triggered the catastrophe in advance." Alves nodded.

"There are actually people of this level in the interstellar space who can even predict what the Red River Catastrophe will be?"

Li Ming became more and more suspicious. He stared at the wound. The black symbol imprinted on the muscle looked very familiar to him.

But for a moment, I couldn't think of where I had seen it.

"Yeah, we are also speculating." Raphael also flew over and landed on the temporary metal deck built around the corpse.

He asked, "There are definitely only a handful of people with this ability in the galaxy. The only clue is the black symbol left on the muscle. I wonder if there are similar records in the databases of the master craftsmen."

Li Ming didn't say anything, but recalled carefully. Reynolds and Mikhail scanned for a while and both gave negative answers.

Tandin said in a deep voice: "Not only did they foresee the appearance of Terrax's corpse, they also had the ability to cut it up. Their strength is quite impressive. If they really figure out what it is, it will probably be a serious threat."

"This seems to be..." Li Ming's heart moved, and he suddenly remembered where he had seen it.

I saw similar symbols when I was fiddling with the Oath-Keeping Stone.

Could it be the Virgin Mary and the prophet?

They actually have this ability? Li Ming thought he had to re-evaluate these two guys.

Silently, the metal on his arm moved, and he raised his metal arm to touch the wounded muscle.

Under the surface metal skin of the Mechanical Holy Spirit, the Oath-Keeping Stone has appeared at the end of the finger.

At the moment when the two came together, wisps of black smoke floated up from the wound, which was exactly the black symbol.

"what!"

"retreat!"

Everyone's faces changed drastically, and they retreated a long distance in an instant, fearing that it was something terrifying.

But after a moment, I found that the black mist formed a blurry scene, and there seemed to be a human figure.

"Record! Record!" Raphael looked anxious and shouted in the regional channel.

"What's going on? Something unexpected happened as soon as the Mechanical Holy Spirit touched it?" Tandin looked surprised.

"Not sure, it's too blurry, let's go and take a look." Alves approached cautiously, and everyone followed closely behind.

Li Ming was also stunned. Looking at the picture composed of black objects in front of him, it seemed like a record of what had happened.

The fog kept reorganizing as it surged, and finally gradually froze, revealing three vague figures, but they were all very blurry and could not be seen clearly.

The huge and blurry shadow next to it should be the corpse. "Is it a remnant of the past?" Alvis realized something and looked deeply at the Mechanical Holy Spirit.

Then he pinched out air bubbles to cover the area, and at the same time pulled out a series of symbols, attaching them to the surface of the black mist to form a transparent membrane.

What is amazing is that through this membrane, the scene above the black fog is actually clearer. Although the appearance and specific details are still unclear, it is not a blur of noise.

"Unfortunately, the space-time factor of the Red River Star Stream is too unstable, and it can only achieve this level." Alves was helpless.

"The three figures should be the three people who caused the disaster." Tandin couldn't help but speculate, his face solemn: "They are less than two meters tall. Judging from their general features, two of them should be human, and the last one has very broad shoulders, as if he has wings."

Li Ming was speechless upon hearing this, that should be the Virgin Mary, and the things that looked like wings should be her arms stacked together.

However, he had no intention of reminding her.

I was also very confused. There are only two people, the prophet and the Virgin Mary, so who is the other person?

Everyone had their own thoughts in their minds, but as the black fog surged, the scene above actually moved and vague sounds were heard.

“…I have tried every possible means. If you two have no other options, we will have no choice but to leave…” The voice was indistinguishable between a man and a woman, and it was filled with helplessness and reminder.

"Cooperative relationship. This person is in one camp, and the other two are in another camp." Tan Ding said with certainty.

"The situation is pretty much as we expected. There's nothing we can do with this corpse, except for some special means..."

Everyone watched intently, without waiting for the other two's response. After a brief blur, the scene turned into another one.

Two people were suspended above the corpse, cutting the corpse back and forth with two extremely small and blurry objects.

"Why did you suddenly jump to this place?" Tan Wei was puzzled.

"The space-time factor is unstable." Alves shook his head and pulled out a series of symbols, trying to see what that small and blurry thing was, but in the end he could only sigh helplessly.

"It's too small to see clearly."

It should be the Stone of the Virgin Mary and the Stone of the Prophet, Li Ming secretly estimated.

This thing is indeed unusually hard. It can actually be used to cut the corpse of a Dominant-class Titan, although it looks very difficult.

You know, Tandin and Alvis have been here for a long time, but they are still helpless with this corpse.

"Who is it?" Tandin frowned, and others were also thinking, trying to find clues from those insignificant features.

We really can't underestimate these two guys. They were able to predict the appearance of Terrax's body. Although Li Ming knew this, he was also shocked.

The Virgin Mary Church has a profound foundation.

In a blink of an eye, the scene above the black fog jumped again. After an unknown amount of time, they had successfully cut off the arm and tied it to the spaceship.

"The spacecraft seems to be very simple, and there are no corresponding transportation facilities...the preparations seem to be insufficient." Granger analyzed the few pieces of information above.

The three people in the picture looked at the remaining corpses unwillingly. One of them said, "It's a pity that they can only let others get away with it..."

"…We are lucky to be fine. Although we didn't find the forge, we did find the body of the Terraxian…"

"Looking for a forging hammer?"

Everyone was stunned. Weren’t they here for the corpse?

Costat blurted out: "Is Forge Hammer still alive? Impossible!"

He spoke in a decisive tone, ruling the Holy Elephant at the cost of his own annihilation, and explained to the interstellar world that the Empire had killed the Master Forgeman.

Moreover, there is relevant information within the empire to prove that there is no way Forging Hammer is still alive.

"How is it impossible?" Reynolds was very excited, "There are endless ways to forge a hammer."

Mikhail made no comment.

"Looking for a forging hammer?" Li Ming was also quite surprised, and he felt relieved. He really thought that the Holy Mother Church was so powerful that it could defy the heavens to a certain extent.

Now it seems that it was just a coincidence.

However, he suddenly became suspicious. Why did the Virgin Mary Church want to find Duan Chui? Did they have a grudge against Duan Chui? He had never heard of it.

And how did you find this place?

"He came here to find a forging hammer?" Alvis was also surprised. "Is he really not dead?"

Raphael thought for a moment, "But in this case, the scope can be narrowed down to the enemies of the Forge Hammer."

The reason why they are called enemies is that Forge Hammer’s friends are basically Reynolds and Mikhail, and both of them are here now.

While everyone was thinking, a voice came from the screen again: "...Qinglong hid too deep. If the wreckage was his body, he should have known about the existence of this body long ago..."

"Qinglong?"

Everyone was confused again and subconsciously looked at the Mechanical Holy Spirit in front of them. What does this have to do with Qinglong?
Aren’t you looking for a forging hammer? Why are you bringing Qinglong into this again?

Moreover, Qinglong already knew about the existence of this corpse?
Only Costat's heart trembled, as if he had realized something.

While the others were at a loss, a voice came from the screen: "...The exact situation of the wreckage is still unknown. It is also possible that due to some mistake, the forging hammer may not know the existence of this body..."

With this added sentence, everyone understood and froze in place, as if they had suffered a huge shock.

One of them called him Forging Hammer and the other called him Azure Dragon, but in essence, they were discussing one person.

Qinglong is the forging hammer!
There was a blazing light in Tandin's eyes, while Alvis looked restrained and expressionless.

Dius looked at the Mechanical Holy Spirit with difficulty, and Costat's face was tense.

Reynolds shouted in a high and excited voice: "The Azure Dragon is the forging hammer, and the forging hammer is the Azure Dragon!"

"Mikhail, I told you this a long time ago, but you didn't believe me."

Mikhail's heart was shaken. How...how could this be possible? It didn't make sense in theory.

What's the point of the forging hammer changing its appearance? To avoid enemies? He didn't.

Li Ming sighed sadly, he finally understood.

No wonder the Prophet and the Virgin Mary came to find Forging Hammer, it turned out that they thought Forging Hammer was him.

As a result, through some unknown means, they accidentally found the body of a Dominant-level Terrax.

It was really weird. Li Ming didn't know why the Virgin Mary and the Prophet thought he was the Forge Hammer.

Apart from the current mechanical holy spirit and the hammer, there was no connection between them before.

He guessed that the reason must be the third person.

Who on earth is this guy, and how could he be involved with Qinglong and Duanchui at the same time?

Could it be... His heart skipped a beat and a name popped up, Levin Baker?
