This is not mechanical ascension...

Chapter 521: Erosion from the Eternal Abyss! Degeneration?
Li Ming couldn't help but sigh, the hope of leaving the body behind was getting smaller and smaller.

But he was cautious and didn't come closer until then.

Until the star cluster further condensed to the size of an egg, like a purple stone suspended in mid-air, without any energy fluctuations.

After waiting for several more hours, there was no further change, so Li Ming approached cautiously.

"This thing..." Li Ming stared at the purple "stone" in front of him. It had condensed to a certain extent and formed a solid substance.

"Old Green?" Li Ming shouted.

Immediately afterwards, a faint beam of light was cast from the broken metal wreckage in the distance.

Green Ringgett condensed into shape, staring at him with big eyes, and said with difficulty, "What... are you?"

What kind of bullshit is this? Li Ming paused and asked unkindly, "Where is my body?"

"Uh..." Green Ringget's face suddenly became awkward, his eyes wandering, "I also said at the time, this matter is difficult to guarantee, you can't blame me..."

Li Ming was speechless and could only look at the purple stone in front of him. "What is this thing?"

"I don't know. This is the first time I use this method." Green Ringget hesitated: "How about you try to cut it open?"

Cut open? Li Ming was speechless. This guy was a virtual life. There was no difference between death and shutdown.

But he himself is a living being, and if something really happens, he cannot guarantee that he can handle it.

However, he changed his mind and thought about the [Life Power Core]. With this thing as a backup, he became much bolder.

He stretched out his hand, and black energy like tar condensed into a small dagger in his hand.

He was just trying it out and didn't expect it to have any effect.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the small dagger touched the purple stone, he heard a clear click.

Immediately afterwards, the purple stone exploded with a bang, and the fragments turned into tassels, but the energy fluctuations were very weak, like splashing water.

Plop--
A black mass fell out from inside and landed on the cracked stone slabs under his feet.

"What the hell?" Li Ming subconsciously became alert, and the tank guard appeared. When he finished speaking, he had already turned into the form of Mechanical King.

"What the hell is this? Holy Spirit Civilization?" Green Ringget became more and more stunned, looking up at the huge monster in front of him.

Li Ming ignored him and stared at the black thing in front of him, studying it carefully.

"Corpse?" His expression became extremely interesting, and in a blink of an eye, he released the Mechanical King.

This was indeed the body of Tygos, but it had been horribly mutilated. Its head and four claws were gone, and its surface was pitch black.

"See, I told you that there would most likely be corpses left behind." Green Ringget also came over and said proudly:

"After being corroded by the Abyss, Tygos became stronger. After the Colosseum was destroyed, the means left by the master were no longer as effective as before. The two offset each other and resulted in the current situation."

Li Ming squatted down and carefully removed the black substance on the surface of the corpse.

The surface skin has completely disappeared, and only atrophied muscle fibers and capillaries can be seen.

The corpse was still in two colors, purple and white.

"I wonder if the part eroded by Yongyuan can still be used to mix gene seeds..." Li Ming muttered, studied it carefully, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

Even if the part eroded by the Eternal Abyss is not counted, the integrity of the corpse is more than 45%. If the part eroded by the Eternal Abyss is counted, it is more than 90%. Basically, only the head has been wiped off.

"Tsk, I really got a great bargain..." Li Ming grinned, in a good mood.

All in all, I got the body without paying much this time, which was a rare relief.

As he was thinking, Li Ming's expression suddenly changed. The seemingly lifeless corpse twitched suddenly, and wisps of gray-white mist rushed out of it, attached to Li Ming's left leg, and then spread.

Almost immediately, Li Ming felt that a disaster was about to happen, and he suddenly withdrew.

However, the grayish-white mist followed closely behind like a chopping block, and its speed was so fast that it was astonishing.

"This is, Deep Mist..." Green Ringgett's face was grim. "Fuck, I've used up all my strength to grind Tygos to death. I can't deal with this Deep Mist anymore."

"No wonder the body is still there, it's the Abyss Mist that's holding it up."

Li Ming only felt half of his body numb, as if he was being clamped tightly by an invisible force. There was an icy and deep force that kept drilling into his body.

It roamed freely in his flesh and blood cells. With every advance, the numbness became more severe and his body lost control.

Li Ming tried to resist, but his own strength was no match for it.

This is a big trouble... Li Ming's face was solemn. Tan Wei appeared on the surface of his body and then possessed him immediately.

However, the gray-white mist did not lose its target. Instead, it continued to erode the interior of the tank, and electric sparks continued to burst.

"It corrodes everything...even mechanical bodies are not spared." Li Ming put away the tank again, and the mist condensed again, covering the surface around him.

"It's over!" A mournful voice sounded beside him, and Green Ringgett looked miserable. "I'm sorry for you. You beat the Super Seed who was in the King Trial at the same level."

"If you are eroded by the Eternal Abyss, I will die with regrets."

"You are artificial intelligence and have no eyes." Li Ming said calmly.

Green Ringget paused, his face becoming increasingly sad.

As he spoke, six mechanical guards appeared beside him, surrounding him and raising various energy cannons at him.

"What are you going to do? Why are you so decisive?" Green Ringget looked at him in amazement and said admiringly, "Are you afraid that you will endanger the safety of the universe, so you want to commit suicide before the Eternal Abyss is completely eroded?"

Li Ming was too lazy to pay attention to him. The mechanical guards had already started to accumulate energy. He planned to use the sixty seconds of immunity time of the [Life Power Core] to free himself from this erosion.

"No, let's think of other ways. We don't have to go to this point..." Green Ringget stopped him emotionally.

The "impatient" King Zhentian had already accumulated all his energy, but Li Ming's expression suddenly turned strange.

"Wait..." His eyes moved slightly, and most of his body was wrapped in grayish-white mist. His skin turned grayish-white and was about to be eroded.

But during this time, the deep fog had already spread to the index finger of his right hand.

This finger was different, it was used to absorb metal energy and various special energies. At the first moment of contact, he felt the gray-white mist begin to flow uncontrollably into this finger.

Not pouring in, but being absorbed!
This thing can be absorbed!
Li Ming thought of a lot of things in an instant.

...So this is the special energy that I absorbed from the bodies of those Abyss Clan members?
Wait... Could it be that those Yuan people were...

Li Ming's throat rolled, and he felt as if he had discovered some big secret.

"No, why did you really stop?" Green Ringget noticed that the mechanical bodies put down their weapons, and he felt embarrassed and anxious:
"Not really. I'm just saying it casually. You don't have to listen to me. Just continue as you are doing."

Green Ringget felt a little regretful. "Listen to me, I lied to you when I said I would think of other ways. There is no other way. After being eroded by the Abyss Clan, you will lose your autonomy, which is no different from death. It will also endanger other creatures. It is better to die."

Li Ming was too lazy to pay attention to this funny guy. He used his fingers to poke various parts of the surface of his body, absorbing the deep mist that was eroding his body.

"It's over, this is really crazy..." Green Ringget lamented, feeling anxious. He killed a Tygos and released another super seed.

When this guy grows up, he will be no less dangerous than Tygos.

However, as he watched, his eyes suddenly bulged, "No... Is this... the abyss fog disappearing!?"

He was stunned, his body stiffened in place, he was truly in a state of shutdown.

He encountered something that was completely inexplicable, and it impacted his processing center.

After a long time, he seemed to have finally dealt with the logical conflict within his body, and murmured, "How is it possible? What has the outside world become? It actually has the ability to directly dissolve the Abyss Mist..."

This is the Abyss Mist that is in a state of erosion, not the Abyss Mist that appears after the death of a normal member of the Abyss clan.

"If we had this ability at that time, perhaps..."

His expression changed, and the gray-white mist surrounding Li Ming had almost dissipated.

As he moved his body, all kinds of elemental forces re-infiltrated the dried-up cells, and his numb flesh and blood gradually regained activity.

After absorbing about 90% of the remaining Eternal Abyss power, his heart moved slightly and he opened the control page.

The incomplete power of the Eternal Abyss has been filled into a complete one--
[Power of the Eternal Abyss: A special power from the Eternal Abyss. After being used to control an object, it can cause it to degenerate.]

Degeneration?

Li Ming looked at the instructions carefully and couldn't help feeling confused. He didn't quite understand the meaning of this degeneration, and there was no further explanation.

"The power of the Eternal Abyss can make living things lose control. Degeneration should come from this..." Li Ming pondered.

He originally thought that the complete power of the Eternal Abyss was at the level of the ultimate life form.

However, he did not expect that it would be complete this time. He calculated that he had absorbed the power of the Eternal Abyss about three times. The first time was relatively weak and came from the tomb of a lord-level Titan.

The second time was absorbed from the X-level Abyss, and the third time, it came from Tygos, and it was also the strongest.

Combining these three, he estimated that it should be the energy of the secondary overlord level. It is not to promote the controlled object, but probably to add some characteristics.

He couldn't help but feel curious, but now was obviously not the time to research, so he put the matter aside for the time being.

When he came to his senses, Green Ringget was squatting in front of him, staring at him with a pair of big green eyes, his eyes filled with burning passion.
Li Ming threw a punch subconsciously, but missed. He touched his nose and asked, "What are you doing, sir?"

Green Ringget stared at him suspiciously, and asked impatiently: "How...how did you deal with the Abyss Mist? Has the civilization in the outside world developed to this extent?"

"Uh... this..." Li Ming was vague: "Not yet, this is just a certain talent of mine..."

"Personal talent? There is such a talent?" Lulingert was surprised, but very excited: "In any case, you have this talent. When the Guixu period comes, you will definitely be of great use."

But when he thought of this, his expression became more serious. "But you have to be vigilant. Yongyuan is very intelligent. If he finds out about your ability, he will not let you go easily."

"Thanks for the reminder..." Li Ming's heart moved slightly, and he couldn't help asking: "Regarding Yongyuan's matter, I am a little confused..."

.........

Outside the Colosseum, in the deserted waterway, is where Li Ming’s small spaceship was parked.

At this moment, they have been surrounded. There are probably more than 20 to 30 figures inside and outside, including all kinds of life forms.

Further outward are a large number of warships of various types, with three layers inside and three layers outside.

Standing in the center were Anatoly, Senil and others.

"Why is there a spaceship here?" Senier frowned and asked, "Didn't Lord Anatoly say that the coordinates of this place are extremely secret?"

"It may be just an explorer. This ship is of very low specifications." Anatoly looked calm, but he was also suspicious in his heart.

After arriving at this area, they dispersed and set up defensive circles and various probes, while also trying their luck to see if they could directly discover the secret space.

As a result, a group of people under his command discovered an isolated small spaceship here.

"The spaceship is very clean inside, there are no traces left, there are no clues left in the navigation system, and the hard drives have been removed." A figure walked out of the spaceship, it was Gustav:
"There are no signs of collision damage on the external armor or the interior, which means he did not leave in a hurry, but left the spacecraft here on purpose."

Leaving the spaceship here on purpose...Everyone's eyes couldn't help but focus on Anatoly.

They certainly don't believe in coincidences. The owner of this spaceship is most likely here for the star beast.

"This spaceship was built by the 'Dumen Shipbuilders' and should have come from the Desolate Anchor Stargate Node. There should be clues there." Someone identified the origin and couldn't help but say.

"It would take more than half a year to go back and forth. It would be useless even if we went to the Desolate Anchor Stargate Node to find it." Senel shook her head and asked, "Is there anyone who is good at time ability?"

There was silence and no one responded.

Gustav said: "I have tried it. The other party is very experienced and has accumulated extremely high-intensity energy, which has disrupted the stability of the area and is difficult to trace back."

"Looks like he's a veteran." Senel pointed out, "Sir Anatoly has been hiding this for so long, but he didn't expect someone to get there first."

"There are no traces of the enemy in this area. I'm afraid they have already entered that space. Didn't you say that if we want to get in, we have to find a way to solve various difficulties?"

“But this guy came here in such a simple spaceship and actually found a way to get in.”

Everyone had different looks, but Anatoly was calm: "Don't worry, since the spaceship is still here, it means the other party has not left."
