This is not mechanical ascension...

Chapter 561: Adam’s solution turned out to be me?

"Is it this thing?" Li Ming couldn't help but be stunned. He had seen this thing before. It was in the depths of the Red River Star Stream, and it was held by Prince Costat at that time.

It is a World Blood detection instrument from Chronoa used to lock Talos.

"…It's someone from the Empire, Chronoa…"

Li Ming was silent, feeling inexplicably amused and confused.

He already understood that Chronoa's betrayal was faster than he had imagined, and he had directly colluded with the Empire.

The Empire has captured him now, and it must be cooperating with Chronoa to fight against many X-level life forms.

Adam’s solution turned out to be me.

Li Ming realized that he had overlooked something. According to what he had previously speculated, it was not yet time for Adam to take action against him.

But the world is not static. Adam is already in a desperate situation. If he doesn't get through the current crisis, there will be no future.

So the choice was to attack him in order to win over Chlonoa.

At this time, he just announced that he would let Qinglong go to the deep dimensional world, which caused Adam to misunderstand. He mistakenly believed that the Mechanical Royal Court was hollow and decisively attacked him.

"There is actually such a hidden clue. Chronoa is indeed a chance to break the deadlock." Li Ming figured out the general idea from a clue and shook his head:

"Unfortunately, Azure Dragon doesn't exist at all. If you attack me, you are attacking Azure Dragon."

There is nothing wrong with Adam's idea. If the Azure Dragon really exists, I guess he will succeed this time.

As he figured out the current situation, the compass was flashing a scarlet glow, firmly locked on Li Ming.

Night Owl nodded, "We can contact the Holy Emperor now."

Hearing this, Li Ming's heart moved slightly, and the urge to kill someone that was originally in the works was suppressed again.

"Lock them both up first." Night Owl ordered, and the executor was Silver Fox.

Invisible energy lifted the two of them and brought them to a special imprisonment cage specially customized for Li Ming.

In the center of the room is a blockade device consisting of sixty-four cross-arranged light beams.

Li Ming was placed in the center, and twelve sets of annular restraint rings protruded from the inner wall and were put on Li Ming. These devices hovered a few millimeters away from the skin, emitting an invisible suppression field.

The high-intensity space blockade and electromagnetic field suppression prove that these people are well prepared.

Li Ming noticed the loosening of the mimic spirit body, and his heart moved slightly, so he simply took over.

"Awake?" Silver Fox noticed the subtle reaction of Li Ming's body and said indifferently: "Stop pretending."

Li Ming was silent and too lazy to act. His main goal now was to figure out the next target.

If he was sent to Adam first, he wouldn't mind pretending for a while and giving the Holy Emperor a big surprise.

Silver Fox was quite surprised. He glanced at Li Ming and said, "You are so calm. Do you think your teacher can come to save you?"

Li Ming remained silent. Silver Fox could not help but frowned. "It seems that you don't know who has you in the hands of."

Still no response, Silver Fox couldn't help but feel a little annoyed.

But then he sneered, wondering why he should get angry with a little guy.

He shook his head, told the guard in the corner to pay close attention, and then left.

After a while, Zorro woke up from his daze, and the first thing he saw was Li Ming who was tied up.

"Boss Li Ming..." He was startled.

Then, the memory before losing consciousness comes back.

"They really caught you..." Zorro smiled bitterly, "I'm sorry, I got you into trouble."

Li Ming was not going to pay attention to him at first, but after hearing these words, he couldn't help but cast an incredible and strange look at him.

"What do you mean, you've implicated me?" Li Ming didn't quite understand. "This group of people should be coming for me."

"I know." Zorro nodded and said sadly, "But if it weren't for me, they wouldn't have succeeded so easily. Damn my luck."

Li Ming's face changed and he didn't know how to answer for a moment. He didn't think Zorro was arrogant.

It's a stress response caused by being used to bad luck.

"Don't shout later..." Li Ming shook his head and warned.

Zoro was confused.

Li Ming's eyes were unfocused, but he had already opened up his control and started switching quickly.

The first is the [3D mimicry jammer], which forms a mimicry area covering the entire room to deceive monitoring measures.

Then, in Zorro's stunned eyes, metal spiders suddenly appeared from the surface of his body.

The moment it appears, it distorts its own outline into the surrounding scene.

This is a special mechanical body built by Li Ming for certain special scenarios. Don’t underestimate these things because they are small. Each one has the strength of an A-class mechanical body.

Under the interference of electromagnetic fields, the movement speed of these little guys is worrying.

But a few seconds after breaking through the electromagnetic interference with difficulty, the soldiers standing at the four corners of the room in charge of guarding let out a low roar at the same time, fell back, and collapsed against the wall, but they did not really die, avoiding the presence of life detection devices on their bodies.

Immediately afterwards, sparks suddenly exploded from the ceiling.

A metal spider pried open the gap, pulled out a data cable, bit it off with its metal jaws, and suddenly inserted it into itself.

Soon, a soft voice sounded in the room, "Master, I have taken over this spaceship, you can act with confidence."

When Li Ming heard this, the blocking device on his body suddenly disappeared, and he casually broke the confinement measures beside him. This should have caused the highest warning, but at this moment there was no reaction.

"This...this..." Zoro was dumbfounded and speechless.

Li Ming took out a smart terminal from somewhere, connected to Suzaku's network, and began to check the specific situation of this group of people.

Maybe it was for hiding, and there is only this one spaceship.

“…show me what they are saying to Adam.” Li Ming gave the order.

"Understood. Retrieving external communication signals..."

……

In the main command room, Night Owl, Silver Fox, and Chi Lian gathered together, looking at the virtual screen in awe.

“…So smooth?” Adam couldn’t help but feel a little dazed after listening to the report.

He was extremely wary of Qinglong, and even though he had made a very detailed plan, he couldn't help feeling a little uneasy.

However, they did not expect it to be so smooth. The whole operation took less than ten minutes, and Li Ming was brought out of the Mechanical Royal Court.

"The plan you made was perfect, and the things you used were all the Empire's cutting-edge technology. Silver Fox is good at disguise, and Chi Lian is good at mental control. Li Ming... doesn't stand a chance."

Night Owl lowered his head and said, "The only threat to Qinglong is not in the Mechanical King's Court, so everything will go smoothly."

"No, you don't understand." Adam shook his head. But since it was successful, it was the best news. "Have you verified your identity?"

"It has been verified and a video has been taken." Night Owl nodded.

Adam glanced to the side, as if he was watching a video. His expression became more relaxed, and he nodded, "Well done. You succeeded in a mission that even the Star Alliance could not complete."

"We are just following orders." Night Owl whispered.

Adam did not comment. "Next, you do not need to return to the empire. Go directly to the deep dimension world and hand the person over to Prince Costat."

"Go directly to the deep dimensional world?" Silver Fox couldn't help but hesitate.

They knew that the deep dimensional world had become a chaotic battlefield and was extremely dangerous. They were barely X-level life forms, with little progress in development and at the bottom of the strength, and if they went there rashly, they would be sending themselves to death.

"Is there a problem?" Adam said calmly. Silver Fox felt a chill in his heart and shook his head quickly: "No problem."

"Very good." Adam nodded, "Hand him over to Prince Costa, and you can come back."

The three of them looked at each other and then breathed a sigh of relief.

"Send me directly to the deep dimensional world and not let me return to the empire..." Li Ming couldn't help feeling a little regretful as the virtual projection in front of him collapsed.

If we can make it all the way to the core of the empire, we might gain something else.

"In that case, there's no need to play with them." Li Ming murmured in a low voice, and mechanical bodies walked out of his body.

Eight mechanical guards of different shapes, which had not been active for a long time, gradually filled up half of the room.

Zorro's throat rolled.

Li Ming then said, "Suzaku, block the external communication signals of the entire spacecraft. You can mobilize four of the mechanical guards at will to kill those who attempt to manually connect to the outside world."

Suzaku said in a calm voice, "Don't worry, no one will be able to connect to the outside world."

Seven mechanical guards disappeared, leaving only one following Li Ming.

Li Ming pushed open the door and saw a group of people lying outside the corridor.

He identified the direction and walked slowly without being impatient. Zorro followed behind him, as if in a dream.

……

In the main command room, Ye Xiao and Chi Lian sat separately. Yin Hu poured three glasses of wine and seemed to be in a good mood. He raised his hand and said, "Celebrate?"

Chi Lian took the glass of wine, but Ye Xiao shook his head, "The mission has not been accomplished yet, it's not worth celebrating."

"How can it not be worth it?" Silver Fox sat on the sofa and said with emotion: "That's Qinglong's student."

"Who is Qinglong? He is the vice-chairman of the Higher Life Forms United Organization, a person who can compete with Mr. Tandin, and is suspected to be the secondary consciousness of the Hammer Forger."

"Which name is not famous? The last time the Star Alliance attacked Li Ming, they were embarrassed. This time we rescued him. Isn't it worth celebrating?"

"It's not like I really snatched it from Qinglong." Ye Xiao reacted calmly, stood up and walked to the porthole.

"If we can really snatch it from Qinglong, will we still be controlled by the Empire?" Silver Fox couldn't help but sneer and shook his head, "Isn't it okay to make yourself comfortable?"

Chi Lian also nodded and shook his wine glass, "Yes, for people like us, it is an amazing record."

After that, she smiled self-deprecatingly, "Although I can't tell anyone."

"who!?"

Before he finished speaking, Night Owl suddenly turned his head and looked outside the command room.

A chill went straight to my forehead.

boom--
The door split radially and exploded, and three blurry figures wrapped in a terrifying aura rushed over.

"What is that?" Night Owl didn't even have time to react. His eyes blurred and the huge metal fist enlarged infinitely.

We can only mobilize energy to form a defensive barrier.

boom!
The defense barrier collapsed, light fragments scattered, and Night Owl's face changed drastically, and he felt an unparalleled gravity hitting him. The entire command room exploded immediately.

The figure wrapped him up and fell out of the spacecraft, falling into the jump orbit of the outside world.

The same thing happened to Chi Lian and Yin Hu, they rolled over and were smashed away.

The spaceship was in motion and suddenly shook violently. The front half of the spaceship exploded, and it dropped out of the jump orbit and fell into a desolate starry sky.

"Where did this mechanical body come from!?"

Silver Fox stared at the metal mechanical body in front of him. It had a slender body and arcs of electricity all over its body. The energy intensity was not high, but the power it burst out was far beyond his.

As soon as this thought came to his mind, his face turned pale at a speed visible to the naked eye, and a name popped up - Qinglong!

“How…how…”

For a moment, he was in a panic, the name of the man was like the shadow of the tree.

They are X-level life forms at the bottom of the contempt chain, and even the higher-level life forms in the empire do not take them seriously.

How can one not be terrified when facing a big boss among higher life forms like Qinglong?

King Zhentian's mechanical pupils contracted. He had no intention of talking nonsense with him and only wanted to complete the Creator's order as soon as possible.

With the blessing of the great power from the Creator, the life form in front of him could not pose any threat to him.

The thunder that enveloped him suddenly exploded and rushed towards him again.

"Tsk... This spaceship is quite good... Only half of it is broken."

Li Ming noticed the movement outside, but did not take action himself. These three guys were X-level goalkeepers.

After barely being promoted to level x life form, there is no potential for further development, and the combat capability level does not exceed 10X.

Although his mechanical guards do not have infinite hammers, with his blessing, they also have nearly 300X, which is enough to defeat them easily.

As for himself, he was looking at the special device in front of him.

[Space Drill - Special Type: The Empire's cutting-edge technological instrument.

Control conditions: 1.2 billion metal energies
Control ability - Space drilling: can forcibly open a space rift through the target area. 】

Li Ming raised his eyebrows. 1.2 billion, far exceeding the conventional X-level controlled objects.

This thing is a good one. There are similar things in the drawings left by the hammer master.

But it was expensive, he couldn't find many of the parts, and it would be too costly to set up his own production line.

"Not bad..." Of course he would keep it. He was a man who held grudges, and this thing might be of great use in the future.

The defense measures of the imperial capital, the result of years of accumulation, are truly terrifying.

In just over ten minutes, the external energy fluctuations began to stop.

Night Owl, Chi Lian and Silver Fox were escorted here by his mechanical guards, with varying degrees of injuries on their bodies.

Night Owl was breathing heavily, his armor was in tatters. He no longer wanted to think about why a mechanical body suddenly appeared. He only knew that he and his companions were doomed.

"You..." Silver Fox looked at Li Ming in front of him and the five mechanical bodies behind him, and his heart trembled.

Including the three people dealing with them, there are eight X-level mechanical bodies protecting him. No wonder this guy was silent in the face of him and didn't take him seriously at all.

The one who was beaten the worst was Chi Lian, whose body was covered in blood and whose breath was barely surviving.

This guy can launch mental attacks. Although he can resist with the Nightmare Wreath, it will consume his full strength every time, so he might as well beat him half to death.

The purpose of leaving them alive is naturally to absorb the genetic essence.

Although his development system has been supplemented, it doesn't hurt to accumulate more of this kind of things, as they will be useful in repairing low-level gene seeds in the future.

Li Ming looked at them and said with a smile, "Hello, everyone. I didn't have time to say hello just now."

……

Meanwhile, Adam has already contacted Costat.

Facing the other party's slightly uneasy eyes, he said in a deep voice: "Li Ming has already obtained it and has been sent to the deep dimensional world. Tell Klonoa that at some point in the future, I hope he can act as promised."

It worked!
Costat let out a long sigh and nodded heavily, "I understand."
