This is not mechanical ascension...

Chapter 522: Trapped Inside
"No matter who the other party is, I don't believe that they can leave safely with our joint efforts."

Anatoly's words were calm, yet contained solid confidence.

After hearing what he said, everyone's expressions gradually relaxed.

"Sir Anatoly is quite confident." Senel said with a smile, "But can you explain to us who can get ahead of us?"

"Not many people probably know the coordinates here. I believe that Sir Anatoly already has a suspected target in mind."

Anatoly frowned slightly, and the attention focused on him did not decrease at all. Many people present were puzzled by this matter.

I thought that this time the coordinates were known to Anatoly alone, but now it seems that there is a third party who knows the location of these coordinates.

"I don't know who it is yet." Anatoly shook his head, the first thing that came to his mind was the Covenant.

But he quickly ruled it out. It was not the first time that the Covenant had discovered this place.

If I could have gone in, I would have done it long ago. It's impossible for me to bump into them by such a coincidence.

There is no need to come here on such a small spaceship.

The Star Alliance traded this information to others...

Anatoly's answer obviously could not satisfy the vast majority of people.

But they didn't dare to question Anatoly directly and could only place their hopes on Senil.

But contrary to everyone's expectations, Senil did not continue to ask questions, but looked away.

Perkins said, "According to what Anatoly said before, the means to break through the frontal defense of that space must be extraordinary."

"Even if we join forces, we may not be able to keep him."

"Perhaps... the frontal defense of that space is not as strong as Lord Anatoly said." Senel added: "It is common for information to be wrong. There is no need to dwell on any difficulties."

Everyone had different expressions. Originally, they believed what Anatoly said, but now they couldn't help but feel suspicious.

Anatoly remained silent and did not explain anything.

"No matter who it is, no one can leave." Gustav spoke suddenly, his voice calm.

Everyone's expressions suddenly became stern, and Senil remained silent.

He continued, "Everyone, please disperse and see if there are any other clues nearby."

Anatoly lowered his head with a gloomy look. The situation on the field changed subtly, and Gustav took the initiative silently.

When everyone realized this, they felt different.

Everyone, including Anatoly, dispersed.

Not too long after, a mental wave came over.

"I found it..." This was the spiritual fluctuation from Moser.

A moment later, the X-level life forms scattered everywhere arrived one after another.

"Found it so quickly?" Anatoly looked at Moser in surprise.

The Covenant has known about this place for a long time, but has found it only a few times over the years.

Although he praised Moser highly when he came, he actually didn't have high expectations.

But I didn't expect that I would be found by this guy less than half a day after arriving here.

He had a vague feeling that something was not right.

"Mr. Moser is so efficient." Others did not hesitate to praise him.

But Moser seemed a little hesitant, with fireworks flashing in his half-energy body. After glancing at Anatoly, he smiled bitterly and said, "Actually, I don't think it took much effort. The presence of that space is very strong."

"Even if I'm not here, you can find it in a few days at most."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's expressions became somewhat different.

This was the second time Anatoly had made a mistake. The so-called extremely secret space was only short of placing the entrance in the main universe.

How could this be?
Anatoly was extremely puzzled. He got the coordinates from the Covenant, but after several attempts, he still had no clues.

"Excuse me, sir. Please continue." Gustav said, and Moser nodded hurriedly: "It's my honor."

Moser turned around and raised his hands, and ripple-like patterns appeared near his semi-energized palms.

His hands sank into the void, stirring the space.

The ripples gradually spread, like a surging wave.

The void before everyone's eyes was distorted, but it did not collapse. Instead, it was like a folded piece of paper.

Until one moment, it seemed as if something was squeezed out from the depths of the void and appeared before everyone's eyes.

"This is…"

Everyone couldn't help but look at him, and a look of astonishment appeared on Anatoly's face.

What appeared before them was a space portal with only the door frame left, and the space inside was gray.

"Where's the door?" Anatole couldn't help asking.

He had seen this portal in the information provided by the Covenant, but at that time it was not hollow inside.

"Is this the high-level defense that Lord Anatoly mentioned?" Senil asked slowly.

This was already the third mistake in his news.

Anatoly's face was gloomy. He originally led everyone to hunt down X-level life forms, but the information he provided was full of loopholes. Where was his authority? His face was slapped.

But... he was sure that the Covenant had not deceived him. He had even been to this area many times and had never encountered such a situation.

Is it the man who went in earlier? Anatole thought of this.

"No wonder I can feel it so easily, it turns out that the closed nature of the space has been destroyed." Moser suddenly realized.

Is it so smooth? Everyone was a little hesitant at this moment.

When they came, Anatoly exaggerated how difficult it was, and they were mentally prepared to return empty-handed.

But I didn't expect it to be so simple, the space channel is right in front of me.

But it was this sense of gap that filled everyone's hearts with suspicion, and no one dared to step forward easily.

Ertas, a humanoid life form that surged like mercury, shot out a stream of silver liquid that landed on the door frame of the space passage.

After a moment, he couldn't help but exclaim in surprise: "This metal material is extremely strong. Just considering its hardness, it's probably more than 2000X. And it also has other properties. The comprehensive defense strength is probably more than 2500X."

"If it is a complete portal, there is almost no way to break into it."

So Anatoly was right?

Everyone thought subconsciously and stared at the space channel in front of them.

Perkins asked, "So, we're staying in there? Do you want to go in?"

No one paid any attention to her. No one knew what was going on inside, and they didn't want to be cannon fodder. Gustav's eyes moved, "Let's set up a blockade first to prevent the life forms inside from leaving easily."

Everyone nodded and began to act quickly. The evolutionary paths of the many X-level life forms present were different, and their blockade methods were also different.

As soon as he moved his hands, the void began to twist violently, like a huge canvas that was crumpled with great force.

Multiple energies intertwine and collide with each other, constantly expanding their own territory.

It spread rapidly and unstoppably, covering the entire void and forming a tight energy field, blocking it at all levels.

.........

At the same time, in the Colosseum, Li Ming stroked his chin.

"…This is the general situation I know…" said Green Ringgett.

Li Ming's eyes flickered. He learned more details about the Eternal Abyss Erosion from Greenlingert.

After a member of the Yuan clan dies, a special substance called Yuan fog will be released from his body.

This substance has strange properties and can infect all substances, with living things having the highest priority.

In the first moment before it merges deeply with the main universe, the Titans can collect it through special means and then throw it back into the Eternal Abyss.

That is the kind of stone that Li Ming had seen before.

After being eroded, Titans were divided into three stages: primary, intermediate, and advanced.

In the initial stage, the Abyss Mist has just corroded the body and the degree of impact on the body does not exceed 30%. At this stage, there is still hope, and special methods can be used to extract the Abyss Mist in the body.

The intermediate stage is the deterioration stage, where the body begins to transform into another level and is initially out of control, with the degree of impact not exceeding 60%.

At this stage, you need to decisively cut off the eroded limbs in order to have a chance of survival. The severed limbs will not have a chance to recover and will be eroded from the root level of existence.

Once it exceeds 60%, the abyss fog begins to initially erode the consciousness body, and it can only be humanely destroyed.

"As for the speculation you mentioned, the master seems to have mentioned that the Yuan people are actually the products of the erosion of past civilized life forms." Green Ringget added.

Li Ming's face changed. It turned out that the Yuan clan was not simply about destruction. Expansion was the instinct of a race.

"As for the rest, I don't know. I'm just the manager of the Colosseum." Green Ringget said finally.

"You have explained a lot of my doubts." Li Ming nodded and said, "Where is your data core? I can take you away."

"Take me away?" Green Ringert couldn't help laughing, and finally shook his head and said, "Thank you for your kindness, but unfortunately I can't leave, and I don't want to leave. My data core is actually the entire Colosseum."

"If it exists, I exist. If it doesn't exist, there is no need for me to exist."

To be buried again?

Li Ming was silent. The loyalty of these artificial intelligences was very high.

Green Ringget sighed with regret, turned around and looked at Li Ming, and couldn't help but said: "In fact, this is the first time I have seen someone who can win the King Trial, and can also resist the erosion of the Abyss Mist. I hope you can survive."

As Green Ringget spoke, green flames burned on his body, and the metal wreckage floating in the void began to roar violently.

"That..." Li Ming couldn't help but speak.

"Don't be sad for me." Greenlingert smiled.

"I mean..." Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Green Ringget: "The extinction program has been initiated. You don't need to persuade me anymore. It is my honor to be able to perish under the witness of the "Submarine King"."

Li Ming's face was dark: "Before you die, can you open the door for me?"

"Door?" Green Ringget was stunned, then suddenly realized, "Oh, sorry, there were so many things going on just now that I forgot..."

"I...I...I..." The flames had covered his entire body. The metal wreckage in the air completely disintegrated and parts scattered everywhere.

“I…this is it…this is it…this is me…” The illusory figure of Green Ringgett suddenly exploded and turned into a stream of light, without finishing the last sentence.

Li Ming looked expressionlessly at the place where the other party disappeared. He had the urge to pull the other party out of the grave and beat him up again.

Taking a deep breath, his heart moved slightly. He suddenly turned around and looked, only to see a space door standing not far away.

"Opened?" Li Ming was slightly stunned and couldn't help shaking his head, "This guy..."

He had already hidden the body of Taegos, and the silver chain seemed to have been worn away in the lair.

After looking around and figuring that there was nothing else, he prepared to walk towards the space portal.

However, after he had taken only a few steps, his expression changed slightly. He saw wisps of dandelion-like energy fluid floating in from the space channel not far away, with something like an eyeball hanging at the end.

There's someone outside!

Li Ming's heart instantly became alert, and his body took action before his thoughts. Black beams of light shot out, annihilating the energy fluids.

Then he carefully concealed his body and hid aside.

"Someone is coming..." His face was uncertain: "Who is it, the Star Alliance? Or Anatoly's group? What a coincidence that they bumped into me."

He did not act rashly, but simply observed the situation of the main universe outside the space portal from various angles.

However, no figure was seen and the other party was hiding very well.

"It's a bit troublesome. We are blocked here. The Green Guards died too quickly." Li Ming frowned.

Whether it was the Covenant or Anatoly's group, he found it difficult to confront them head-on.

"I have to figure it out..." He thought to himself. The strategies for dealing with the Covenant and others are completely different.

Outside, everyone was looking at a blurry virtual screen with confused expressions.

"My 'spherical plant' was wiped out as soon as it entered." Senier said coldly: "It looked calm, but there was indeed a murderous intention. I just don't know if it was the star beast or the person who got there first."

Perkins said: "If what Mr. Anatoly said is true, the strength of the star beast is very strong, even Mr. Gusta is no match for it. The person who went in before must have died long ago."

"Should we send someone in to take a look?"

She suggested, and everyone fell silent.

Senel looked at it and said, "Why don't you go?"

Perkins hesitated for a moment, but he was not afraid and walked straight forward.

Everyone held their breath, and many of them secretly admired in their hearts.

But Perkins, with a boiling energy, walked to the door, stood there for a moment, then turned back and said calmly, "I'm too big to get in."

"Heh..." Senil sneered, and everyone was speechless.

"We can't keep staying in this stalemate forever." Anatoly spoke, as if he wanted to set an example, and appeared next to the space portal in one step.

However, he did not step into it. The yellow robe he was wearing seemed to be blown by an invisible wind, surging violently and wrinkling.

Then, energy symbols continuously poured out from inside its body, flashing with strange light, quickly gathering and interweaving in the air, gradually condensing into a complete figure.

His face was expressionless, yet he exuded a majestic breath of life.
