This is not mechanical ascension...

Chapter 566: The Empire’s Heritage Squeezes into the Holy Castle!

The scene before him was incredible. The magnificent screen of time and space reflected a fortress that was almost compressed into substance and wrapped in a silver energy shield.

The entire body is flowing with the unique iridescence of a certain special alloy, and a prismatic array composed of quantum crystals supports the energy shield.

White energy pulses explode from time to time on the surface of the silver base energy flow, and the main building complex is composed of seven triangular cones suspended in opposite directions.

The surface of the cone is covered with complex energy patterns, and the common energy rings at the corners and between the cones are wrapped around the central dodecahedral spire like an Ouroboros.

The anchoring beam extending from the bottom of the fortress is not a straight line, but rather twisted, sinking into the depths of space.

Li Ming had never viewed the entire Holy Castle from such a perspective.

The reason why he was sure that this was the Holy Castle was that he was very familiar with the exterior of the building in the center. Although it was blurry, the twelve-sided prism top was clear.

He could even be sure that this was not any other holy castle, but the Digras Holy Castle that he had already opened.

According to the Supervisor, each holy castle was built by a different master, with different styles and appearances.

No two St. Forts are exactly alike.

His brows were furrowed, somewhat unable to understand why the Star of Eternal Silence would reflect the scene of the Holy Castle.

Moreover, looking at the flow of energy light film on its surface is not a picture, but a real-time scene.

It's not like he hadn't tried on the way here, but due to the influence of the deep dimension, he couldn't communicate with the Holy Castle.

It can't be said that after combining with the Star of Eternal Silence, we will be able to communicate?
Li Ming's heart moved slightly, or perhaps, these were some scenes that had happened in the past, and were displayed under the power of the Star of Eternal Silence.

Gustav stared at the scene, trying to analyze useful information, but everything he saw was something he had never seen before.

"I'm afraid this is not a simple place." Anatoly speculated. Almost everyone present was attracted by this sudden change and watched in confusion.

But Costat's body was shaking slightly, his eyeballs were trembling, his cheeks were twitching, and his heart was pounding, but he suppressed his body's reaction, fearing that others would notice the clues.

The Holy Castle! This is the Holy Castle!
He shouted in his heart. He had seen related pictures in the empire's top secrets. Although they were somewhat different from this holy castle, the overall structure was not much different.

Considering that this was due to the changes caused by the Star of Eternal Silence, he was almost certain that this was a holy castle that had never been discovered.

The Star of Eternal Silence actually has the ability to guide the Holy Castle. Why has it never been shown before? Is it because it was shattered?

Thinking of this, he stared straight at the fragment that fell into Qinglong's hand.

His heart was in turmoil. The Star of Eternal Silence was a sacred object of the Titans and the most advanced creation in the Titan era. But now it was broken.

What's more, more importantly, he could only barely suppress the Star of Eternal Silence with the highly purified Titan's blood.

But what did Qinglong do to make the Star of Eternal Silence throw itself into his arms?

Could he also be a Titan offshoot with extremely high blood concentration?

Costat felt his thoughts were in a mess. Too many things had happened in such a short period of time that he didn't even know where to start analyzing. His brain was almost shutting down.

"What is that place?" The Caster looked up.

Before he could recover from the shock of "the Star of Eternal Silence split into two pieces, and one of the pieces fell into Qinglong's hands", he saw this incomprehensible scene.

"It's better to break it." The navigator heaved a sigh of relief. No matter what, this was a heavy blow to the empire.

As for what the place above represented, he didn't care at all.

However, this thought did not last long. He saw the perspective of the sky gradually stretching, and the nerves on his face seemed to be pricked by needles. He suddenly sank, his expression became restrained, and his brows were furrowed.

The strange fortress gradually shrank in the perspective of the sky, and a wider view was included.

Many people's faces changed as they saw that in the distance the building was surrounded by a number of standard warships.

At first glance, they are densely packed, like a group of vicious wolves, staring at the "food" in the center.

"The Empire's fleet?" Li Ming's face suddenly darkened. "How could Heckler's actions be so fast?"

This is not a scene from the past, but a scene that is currently ongoing. The Saint Fort of Diglas has never been discovered.

The Empire actually found the Holy Castle of Digras.

Li Ming's expression was uncertain. This was indeed something he had not expected, and it was extremely unfortunate that it happened under the current circumstances.

He murmured in his heart, "Is this the Star of Eternal Silence, warning me?"

Li Ming couldn't help but feel a little impatient. It was not a pleasant feeling to watch the Holy Castle being taken over by others.

But he is now in the deep dimension world, and can't even communicate with the Holy Castle... Wait...

His expression changed slightly, since the Star of Eternal Silence could reflect what was currently happening in the Holy Castle.

Then perhaps he could use the Star of Eternal Silence to try to communicate with the Holy Castle.

Thinking of this, Li Ming became excited. He tried to communicate with the Holy Castle's spiritual state and touch the Star of Eternal Silence in his hand.

As he had guessed, there was indeed an indescribable "tunnel" that was about to suck his consciousness in.

At the last moment, he stopped again, and his consciousness went to the Holy Castle, while his real body was a trouble.

There are wolves surrounding him, and there are many that can pose a threat to him.

However, the residual power of the shock just now is still there, and with his mechanical guards, he should be able to hold out for a while.

He didn't think for too long before giving orders to Suzaku.

Once someone intends to rush up, they will try to attack the Star of Eternal Silence and cut off the connection of this structure.

Although the Holy Castle is important, his true body is more important. After making all preparations, he took a deep breath and prepared to go to the Holy Castle with his consciousness.

"The Empire, it's actually the Empire's fleet?"

"This place is obviously unusual, isn't it?"

"Dighausen, Falcon Legion, one of the most elite legions in the empire..."

The spiritual fluctuations around were surging on a small scale. No one had expected that the Empire’s fleet could be seen in this place, but they were also more curious about what this place was.

"Heckler actually found it..." Costat's heart suddenly relaxed.

Faced with the strange scene of the Star of Eternal Silence collapsing and the oppressive feeling brought by the Azure Dragon, there is finally good news.

Even though this good news was brought by Heckler, it was good news nonetheless.

It was not until this moment that he realized the Saint Emperor's foresight and his failure to interfere with Heckler's plan.

We are guarding against today, against possible mistakes that may occur on the Star of Eternal Silence.

When the field of vision expands to a certain extent, the scene on the giant screen of time and space quickly comes into focus.

In front of the largest flagship, a figure flew out.

It was Tandin. He clasped his fists, still proud, but his eyes couldn't help but show some amazement. "Is this the Holy Castle?" A voice came from the giant screen. It was not a spiritual wave, but a similar way of transmission.

"Yes..." Heckler's figure appeared, with a fiery look in his eyes that could be seen with the naked eye: "The Holy Castle of Digras belongs to the Lord of Digras. The holy object stored in it should be called the Crown of Digras."

"Compared to the Star of Eternal Silence, the Crown of Diglas is a Titan holy relic that excels in defense. It once head-on withstood attacks from the Overlord-level Abyss Clan."

Just one or two sentences of dialogue contain an explosive amount of information.

Everyone under the giant screen of time and space was already stunned.

"Is this the Holy Castle?" Gustav's eyes lit up.

Anatoly's eyes were filled with greed, but he shook his head helplessly: "It seems that it is too late, Empire... Empire!"

Anduin was astonished. "There are still people in the Empire planning to take over the Holy Citadel?"

His face changed as he deeply experienced what the empire's heritage was.

Only a portion of the Empire's forces went out to search for the Star of Eternal Silence, and even so, they almost succeeded.

If Qinglong had not arrived, the two forbidden life forms would have helped the empire win the game.

The united organizations of higher life forms came out in full force, but ended up making two advances and two retreats, almost becoming a clown.

"No wonder we didn't see Tandin and the others. It turns out they were planning to take over the Holy Castle." Someone couldn't help but exclaimed

"An empire is still an empire after all. Although it has been in decline recently, it cannot be manipulated at will..."

"Holy Castle, what is the Holy Castle?"

There were also quite a few X-level life forms who knew little about the Holy Castle, and some even heard the term for the first time. After asking around, they were dumbfounded.

"That is to say, there is another weapon hidden inside here that is as powerful as the Star of Eternal Silence."

"Not the same..." Someone shook his head, "That person should be Prince Heckler. Didn't you hear him say that the Star of Eternal Silence can adjust time but is not good at fighting?"

"But... the so-called Crown of Digras is an extremely powerful defensive weapon. I'm afraid no one in the current interstellar space can break it head-on."

"Is the empire's luck so good?" The navigator gritted his teeth. Although he clenched his fists, he felt a sense of dejection for no reason.

Seeing the Star of Eternal Silence break into two halves for no reason is good news.

But on the other side, something called the Crown of Digras appeared, which was even more powerful and stronger.

He couldn't help but look at Qinglong, but unexpectedly found that his figure had been surrounded by eight mechanical bodies of different shapes, and he still maintained the posture of holding the Star of Eternal Silence.

Regardless of what everyone thinks, the scenes on the giant screen of time and space are still flowing.

Tandin had already flown straight to the front of the Holy Castle, with blazing black and red flames surging and gathering on his fists, then falling fiercely.

The moment it hit the energy barrier, the giant screen of time and space became vaguely blurred.

The intertwined black and red flames turned into tens of millions of roaring evil dragons, surging with violence like boiling lava, and even burned the void into red.

On the surface of the barrier, a sea of ​​silver light rippled, as if thousands of glass eyes suddenly opened. Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that it was a diamond-shaped defense array.

Each "pupil" ejected an energy chain, strangled the fire dragon, and then pulled it into it.

Tandin's face couldn't help but become solemn. He just made a slight test and it was normal that he couldn't break through it, but he didn't expect that this holy castle would use his energy for its own benefit.

Heckler was not surprised to see this scene. Tandin did not have the authority to obtain past data on the Holy Castle, and he had already checked all the information.

From the warship at the rear, several soldiers in combat uniforms escorted a figure with dejected looks on their faces.

The skin was light golden, and there were fine scales on both sides of the cheeks. He was the chosen one captured by Heckler - Leonidas.

"Little boy, it's time for you to play your role." Heckler smiled and put a purple skull into his hand.

Leonidachus' throat rolled, and he already knew into whose hands he had fallen.

Looking at the huge and magnificent fortress in front of me, I know that I have no choice but to accept my fate.

The restraints had been removed, he gritted his teeth, carefully flew to the front of the Holy Castle, and then followed Heckler's instructions.

He said to the purple skull in his hand: "I request to undergo the trial to become a king."

In an instant, the purple skull in his hand burst into a dazzling light, and the beam of light shot out from his pupils pierced straight into the fortress in front of him.

Immediately afterwards, a barely perceptible beam of light shot out from it, enveloping Leonidach.

Heckler, who was standing behind him, grinned and laughed silently, and then conveyed a message to Tandin: "Sir, it's now."

Tandin had been preparing for a long time. He had a pair of black metal gloves embedded in his arms, and the metal scales were folding continuously as he accumulated strength.

When the scales of the pair of pitch-black gloves began to bite, each piece of dragon-scale metal peeled off the body in high-frequency vibrations and floated in a 360-degree dark star ring.

Earthworm-like energy veins protruded from the surface of Tandin's knotted muscles. The wandering dark red light was following the rhythm of the opening and closing of the scales, forging the entire arm into a crater that was about to erupt.

"Open it for me!" As Tandin roared, he fell like a meteor, and space cracks spread along the way.

And as he crashed into the energy shield that enveloped Leonidak, the terrifying power that had been accumulating for a long time suddenly erupted.

The dark star rings formed by metal scales turned into tens of millions of rotating reverse blades that pierced through the barrier. The silver-blue defensive energies actually emitted a sharp hissing sound like a living creature, blasting out star-like energy fragments.

But under Tandin's amazing control, not much energy was leaked.

The metal scales split into 120,000 Ouroboros darts, which combined into spiral cones that pierced through the void and tore the wounds on Leonidak's shield even more hideously.

"Come!" Tandin's roar was heard amid the violent energy fluctuations.

Hux suppressed his excitement, turned into a stream of light, and headed straight for the energy collision core.

In the violent energy collision, nothing could be seen clearly. When the giant screen of time and space became clear again, it was already inside the energy shield.

Leonidas was crawling on the ground, his skin as charred as charcoal, but he was not dead.

Beside him, Tandin stood with his arms folded, his face cold and his black hair fluttering.

Heckler looked up, breathing rapidly.

"They really squeezed in!" Costat felt like laughing out loud.

The energy shield has always been strong in external defense, and it is very easy to destroy it from the inside.

The prismatic pillars that supported the shield didn't seem to have many defensive measures.

"Although I only have half of the Star of Eternal Silence, it is not completely fruitless. Even if Heckler finds the Crown of Digras, he can only be on par with the Holy Emperor at most." His mind became active again.

"It's not the best situation for the Holy Emperor, but it is the best situation for the Empire. We can slowly plan for another one later..."

His gaze fell on Qinglong not far away.
