This is not mechanical ascension...

Chapter 581: Shadow of Azure Dragon

Those were all vehicles for X-class life forms, with various logos on the metal shells proving their identities.

“…Black Hole Palace…”

"The Church of the Dusk Hermits..."

"Giant Shield Company...Giant Mercenary Group..."

People in the channel kept taking inventory, taking a deep breath, and becoming more and more excited.

It's not easy to meet so many big shots on ordinary days.

In Gustav's ship "Silent Night", most of the members came here in the form of virtual projections, gathering in groups of three or four.

"I estimate that more than 95% of the media in the entire galaxy are here." A virtual projection leaned against the string window and said meaningfully: "This time the commotion is quite big. What happened some time ago may have stimulated the three major civilizations."

"What happened some time ago", although it was not stated explicitly, everyone knew what it meant, which was nothing more than supporting Qinglong.

However, he didn't wear a mask this time and spoke in a veiled manner.

"Alas... the three major civilizations are clearly trying to step on us." Someone inevitably said in a deep voice, "If they hadn't mentioned it, I would have almost forgotten that our council is completely occupied by people from the three major civilizations."

"In the end, the three major civilizations have the final say."

"It's not the first day we've heard about this, why are you reacting so strongly?" Senier covered her mouth and chuckled, shaking the wine glass in her hand.

"Anyway, we're used to being oppressed. If the three great civilizations give us a slap, we have to take it obediently."

She looked around. "Or, who can take the lead and make a rule that the X-level life forms officially cultivated by each civilization are not allowed to join the Higher Life Forms United Organization, or at least prevent them from serving as members of the board of directors?"

Everyone who looked at her had a wandering look in their eyes. Senel couldn't help but sneer, "A bunch of rabble, what else is there to say?"

Senier's words were harsh, and someone couldn't help but ask, "Your Excellency seems to be a member of the organization, right?"

"Yeah, I'm also a mobster." Senier admitted frankly, choking the other party so much that he couldn't speak and could only snort coldly.

"I don't know whether Lord Qinglong will show up. After all, this incident was caused by him." A voice came from the corner of the room.

"Because of him?" Anduin, who had arrived a long time ago but had not spoken, sneered, "Some of us want to use the Azure Dragon as a banner and protest against the three major civilizations, but we are afraid to do so."

"It really caused a strong reaction from them, and they blamed it on Qinglong, tsk tsk..."

"This was decided a long time ago. It's just been hyped up a lot." Anatoly said in a flat tone.

The atmosphere feels a bit strange, and Seniel's style is not quite like before.

Anduin's attitude was also tough. Although Perkins remained silent, he was full of murderous intent.

He stressed that "nothing can be accomplished overnight. There will inevitably be various obstacles. We are not in a hurry."

"The dispute between Azure Dragon and the three major civilizations is limited to them, and our personal relationship with Azure Dragon is also limited to us."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a series of voices of agreement. Most people still subconsciously resisted and fought against the three major civilizations.

Anduin laughed out loud. This group of people were not in a hurry. Even if the three major civilizations were really angry, the worst that could happen was that they could just step aside and watch.

"People from the three major civilizations are here...tsk, they come together." Senil walked to the porthole with a smile on her face.

Everyone looked subconsciously and saw warships passing through the cleared channel, protecting the largest large armed flagship in the center.

The warships around were decorated with the logos of the Empire, the Federation and the Covenant, causing bursts of exclamations.

"Wow... whoever said it was right. The three civilizations really came together. The so-called struggle is not groundless..."

"After all the struggles, we are the ones who suffer. They formed a united organization of higher life forms for no apparent reason. Are they good people?"

"When it comes to the joint organization of higher life forms, the three major civilizations must have the same stance. Their presence together will be a deterrent."

As soon as this matter was announced, various experts jumped out to analyze it.

All the big names in the interstellar world have different opinions.

But the general speculation is that there must be conflicts between the three major civilizations and the joint organization of higher life forms.

Some well-informed people even learned about this matter and even found it related to Qinglong.

However, there is too little relevant information and it has not attracted more attention.

In the joint command ship, the advanced life forms of the three major civilizations who were designated to replace the challenge targets gathered here.

Because this matter also involves Qinglong to some extent.

Therefore, the three commanders, Kostat, Heins and Schmidt, are also here to provide strategic guidance.

Knox was three meters tall, with cold air pouring out from his blue skin, causing the temperature control equipment in the command room to run at high speed. He looked at the top battleships through the porthole and said, "They arrived early."

"What difference does it make whether it's sooner or later? It's a defeat in the end." Someone laughed faintly behind him.

"Don't take it lightly." Knox turned around and asked, "What if Qinglong intervenes?"

The man who spoke suddenly froze.

After the incident at the Holy Castle, no one could face Azure Dragon without changing their color.

“Qinglong…” Costat’s expression slightly changed, and he couldn’t help but look over. “It’s highly unlikely that he will come, and there’s no point in him coming here.”

"He can't help those people defeat you. It would be too embarrassing and unconvincing."

"If he really comes, it will be a good thing. I'm worried that I can't find him." Hines said coldly, but did not continue.

The other people's faces changed slightly, and they looked at each other, as if they had figured out what was going on.

"Today, we have only one goal, and that is to severely humiliate this mob." Hines said in a deep voice, "Let them understand that the three great civilizations will always be above their heads."

Everyone nodded.

"It's almost time, who's going to start first?" Costat looked over.

"I'll go first..." Knox said calmly, "I remember that Anduin and Qinglong seemed to have a good personal relationship."

"Haha..." Hines laughed and said sternly, "That's right, we need to pick out a typical example."

When Knox's figure floated out of the cabin.

In the Silent Night, everyone's eyes were focused on Anduin.

There wasn't much surprise in his eyes, but rather a hint of pity.

The Lord of the Star Gate, these words are at least well-known, and he rarely has friction with others in normal times, but now he has to face a battle that he is bound to lose.

The few life forms that had conflicts and frictions with Anduin couldn't help but feel a bit gloating, after all, they did not think that they were a whole.

Noticing the surprised looks of the crowd, Anduin remained expressionless, his virtual projection disappeared, and he flew out of his vehicle.

In the center, a very vast area has been left, surrounded by meteorite rings and scattered with several barren planets, almost covering the entire galaxy, enough to support the fight between the two. The spacecraft that can arrive here in a short time are all very good, and they have set up various cutting-edge observation instruments, full of expectations.

"You should actually just admit defeat to avoid further humiliation." Knox's mental fluctuations surged, his face calm.

"Do you think you're sure to win?" Anduin sneered.

"What else?" Knox responded by clashing his fists, and a pair of ice-blue arm armor emerged, covering his arms.

At the same time, the ice crystal armor grew wildly from his pores, the white mist he exhaled spread wildly, and the scattered meteorite belts turned into countless suspended ice prisms.

When the right foot shattered the void, spider-web-like ice marks spread rapidly.

As soon as you say start doing it.

Anduin is considered a "mage", and if he is attacked by a "warrior", he will definitely not be able to fight.

This kind of battle in a limited area and limited time is a natural disadvantage for Anduin.

And by the porthole of an inconspicuous spaceship, a silver-white mecha stood there. It was the mecha that Li Ming was possessed by.

Using this method, almost no one could notice that he had a full view of the situation at the scene. "Let's take a look at the situation first..."

boom!
The distance between the two was not far to begin with, and Knox was already close, raising his hand and punching.

Anduin's heart skipped a beat, and a star-patterned staff appeared in his hand. Fluorescence appeared on the surface of his body, and his entire body was covered with a robe.

The energy shield that was barely held open was hit by the ice fist. The fragments that splashed out of the cracks condensed into a rain of ice spikes in the air and shot back, piercing Anduin's body, but only the shadows dissipated.

"You are just Qinglong's vanguard. Do you really think it is an honor to be associated with him?"

Knox was not surprised at the failed attack, and he did not hide his mental fluctuations.

Although he spoke arrogantly, there was no expression on his face, and he faithfully completed his task of "suppression".

Even the spectators further away could hear it and couldn't help but talk about it, wondering how this matter was related to Qinglong.

Then, Knox inserted his arms into the void and pulled out two ice dragons hundreds of thousands of meters long from the cracks. They swept across, and the extremely cold blue-white frost fog engulfed the area like a giant beast.

Knox's attack was quick and urgent.

Anduin responded hastily, and a large number of crisscrossing energy lines surged around him, but they were submerged and frozen by the ice fog.

But he wiped his left hand from his mouth, a flash of blood appeared, and then he pressed it on the rune array that was frozen around him. The spell under the ice layer suddenly reversed, transforming the absorbed extreme cold into a dark blue flame!

Just as Knox was about to deliver another blow, burning ice cracks suddenly appeared under his feet, and the reversed cold energy was flowing back along the veins of his ice armor.

Anduin shattered the frozen staff, and the red runes at the core merged into the icy flames.

The entire ice fog battlefield began to resonate, and Knox's ice crystal armor exploded uncontrollably, with each fragment turning into barbs and piercing back into the body.

When Anduin tore apart the last freezing seal, the accumulated extreme cold energy transformed into a giant frost sword, which was about to pierce Nox on the glacial throne that emerged behind him.

boom!
Knox's pupils shrank into needles, his body expanded rapidly, his muscles became more like lava, and fine red-gold lines cracked on the surface of his skin.

Red-gold flames gushed out of his pores, and he entered a liberated form.

"This..." Anduin was shocked, "How could it evolve to another extreme?"

Knox crushed the glacial throne, and the ice fragments exploding under his feet drew burning tracks in the vacuum.

The moment his right fist was swung out, the space in front cracked like glass, and the attacking giant frost sword shattered into pieces.

"Although Knox is a frost giant, his evolutionary path is not simply to strengthen the ice attribute. If you really think that he is only good at ice attribute... hehe..." Schmidt said with a faint smile.

The others were also surprised and felt a little apprehensive.

Hines cheered, "Let others see what happens if they get close to Qinglong!"

Costat frowned slightly, and then said, "Who's next? Get ready, it's about to end."

"Knox actually has this trick up his sleeve." Anatoly frowned. There was an obvious silence in the cabin. Everyone looked at each other in surprise. This is the foundation of the three major civilizations.

The onlookers were naturally extremely excited. This magnificent scene was dazzling and amazing.

"As I remember, Knox was born an ice giant, but he can actually evolve in reverse..." Li Ming was quite surprised.

It can be seen that Anduin has obviously made careful preparations and can even use the ice energy for his own benefit.

However, Knox's genetically liberated form was further expanded, no longer using ice attacks as its primary means, catching him off guard.

Knowing that it would be too late if he didn't take action now, he switched to [Star of Eternal Silence] with a slight movement of his mind.

In the field, Knox's energy radiation was comparable to that of a star in the radar spectrum, and his mental fluctuations were as surging as the sea.

"You work hard for Qinglong, but he doesn't do anything for you. Is it possible that he gives you some benefits to make you willing to give?"

However, the moment he raised his hand, his body suddenly stiffened, the red-gold flames surging around him stagnated, and he felt as if he was stuck in a quagmire.

Everything around me was speeding up, but my every move was suppressed by the overwhelming force, like a corpse worm solidified in amber.

How could this be?
Knox was shocked and realized instantly that this was a time suppression force field. He was stunned.

Anduin's attainment in time has reached this level. Can it have such a big impact on me?

Anduin noticed something was wrong at the first moment. He also sensed the change in time parameters and immediately thought of the Star of Eternal Silence.

When he recalled what Qinglong told him - "No matter what happens to the other party, you should take the responsibility yourself."

Qinglong is indeed reliable.

He was slightly excited and reacted quickly. His mental fluctuations were boiling and his expression was cold: "Too much nonsense. What do you think I have been waiting for so long for?"

Anduin tore the pendant on his chest into pieces. Twelve burning rune cores jumped in his palm. He used blood as ink to draw a spiral seal in the void.

At the same time, the melted ice water turned into red chains, crisscrossing and binding Knox.

He clenched his teeth, but due to the different speeds of time flowing in different parts of his body, the energy flows were not connected and were even rioting, making it difficult to put up any effective resistance.

The vast spiritual power surged like the waves, and Anduin looked indifferent.

"I am the Lord of the Star Gate and the Master of All Laws. I will not allow you or anyone else to tell me what to do!"

At this moment, the huge seal that Anduin drew in the void with blood finally took shape. The twelve dazzling rings and the nested rune formations fell, cutting the battlefield into independent areas.

Then, the entire rune array began to collapse towards where Knox was.

The gap between the two was not that big to begin with. Knox had more of an advantage in the evolutionary system. Now he has become a living target. It is difficult for him to withstand Anduin's ultimate move relying solely on his physical strength.

His body gradually stiffened, his knuckles twisted in the collapsing force field, and the red-gold lines on the surface of his skin flickered.

The whole body was like clay being kneaded by invisible giant hands, and finally it was twisted into a twist shape!
