This is not mechanical ascension...

Chapter 587: Can’t even win once?
Somewhere in the desolate universe, the wreckage of a warship was scattered everywhere, fluorescent blood beads were still oozing from the metal sections, and purple arcs of electricity were jumping on the broken limbs.

It was obvious that a great battle had taken place here, and the boiling energy and the exaggerated void rifts had not yet completely subsided.

In the area where all the debris is most densely populated, the distortion caused by gravitational anomalies is condensing the floating metal dust into gray mist.

At the core position, Tandin, and Alves looked extremely ugly, and the evolved beings around them were silent.

Until the battlefield sweepers came and gathered all the bodies together,
Tandin and Alves landed on the platform battleship. In the middle lay a broken corpse. The other person's appearance could still be vaguely recognized. It was Clarkson.

The half-broken face showed obvious shock and astonishment.

"Who can explain to me why this X-level life form can find this place?" Tandin gritted his teeth and roared. No one around could answer his question.

"Who killed his descendants back then?" Tandin asked again.

The evolved beings gathered in a circle at No. 4 Middle School looked at each other, and finally a humanoid race walked out.

His skin was like charcoal black rock, with red glowing crack-like lines all over the surface, his eyes were dark without pupils, and his fingers were long and thin like blades.

The charcoal-black rock face was filled with anxiety and uneasiness.

"There's something strange about this."

When Alves discovered that they were from the Federation, he couldn't help but speak up, "We have already cleaned it up very thoroughly. Even if they were doing a routine inspection, they couldn't have done it so thoroughly."

"And during the fight just now, this guy clearly knew that Bertrand did not die in the interstellar volcano."

"Nonsense." Tandin stared at the stone man with a cold expression, exerting pressure on him, forcing the other party to retreat again and again.

He said in a deep voice: "The death of an X-level life form has completely different properties, and this guy has a complicated identity, which may cause a greater reaction."

"I suggest changing the location of the laboratory."

Alves couldn't help but frowned. "Although this matter is strange, it is not necessarily due to the laboratory, because I found that Clarkson is not only a genetically evolved being, but also a mutant."

"I don't know what his special ability is, but there is no relevant record in any information. This is his hidden secret."

"Perhaps, he was able to discover the strangeness of Bertrand's death because of this unknown supernatural power."

"But what if he was lured here on purpose?" Tandin asked.

"No matter who it is, it is impossible for them to know the coordinates here." Alvis knew what Tandin meant, but he still emphasized: "Besides, if we move the laboratory again at this critical moment, it will be easy to be exposed."

They had argued for months over the location and now they were going to rebuild it somewhere else. How would they calculate the resources and time required?
"How can you guarantee that?" Tandin asked.

Alvis said indifferently, "Tandin, are you scared? You are frightened by the Azure Dragon, and you are so nervous."

The atmosphere between the two of them suddenly became quiet, and in the central area, twisted energy arcs like thunder exploded.

"You two, please think about how to deal with this trouble first." Raphael stood up and read the information with his head down, not daring to look at anyone:

"Clarkson was born in the Osinwell civilization. Although he was brought up by the civilization, he became a dictator behind the scenes through various means. His reputation within the civilization is not good..."

As Rafael's voice sounded, the atmosphere on the scene gradually eased, and Alves said lightly: "His civilization is not worth mentioning..."

"But the problem now is that he is already dead. If we attract the attention of the Star Alliance and the United Organization of Higher Life Forms, there will be endless trouble."

"Isn't it normal for an X-level life form to disappear for more than ten or twenty years?" Tandin said calmly, "It would be strange if someone really came to look for it."

Alves shook his head. "It's hard to say. The relationship network of an X-level life form is very complicated, and he is also a member of the United Organization of Higher Life Forms."

"Qinglong has been holding meetings frequently recently. If he doesn't show up next time, it might attract attention."

"Qinglong...a united organization of higher life forms...a bunch of trash..." When this name was mentioned, Tandin's face became even uglier.

They both naturally knew about Qinglong’s outrageous actions some time ago, and they were a little depressed at the time.

Inexplicably, there is another organization in the interstellar space that needs to be taken into consideration.

Tandin was a little annoyed: "It would be better to reveal this secret directly to the Star Alliance to avoid any accidents."

Hearing this, many people present changed their expressions. Alves glanced at him and said, "It's just the death of an X-level life form. It's not worth it."

Tandin naturally understood, but he felt that the current situation was restrictive.

Being restrained by Qinglong everywhere, they could only stay here and could not leave, which was really frustrating.

"Then you handle it."

Leaving a word behind, Tandin disappeared here.
Raphael couldn't help but let out a bitter smile, and said apologetically, "Sir Alves, please forgive me, Sir Tandin..."

Before I finished speaking, Alves interrupted me and said indifferently, "I understand. You don't need to explain."

Raphael opened his mouth, but closed it helplessly.

Because of the announcement from the United Organization of Higher Life Forms and a series of previous events, the interstellar space is in turmoil and people's hearts are in turmoil.

But soon, the three major civilizations, the Interstellar Alliance, and the United Organization of Higher Life Forms issued a joint announcement.

It was specifically emphasized that the current interstellar environment is based on peace and stability, and no one will, and they will not allow anyone to, provoke disputes.

This somewhat calmed the turbulent interstellar world and stabilized the situation.

However, all kinds of rumors are spreading wildly.

In the blink of an eye, more than a month has passed.

In the Mechanical Royal Court, the main base of the star, in an open area somewhere, a huge metal base unfolded, and the folded dark golden frame was tearing the space.

The armor plates unfold in a counterclockwise spiral, and the energy patterns that emerge from the surface of each metal shell are pieced together to form the orbits of stars.

The central columnar core pierced the sky, and the bronze arc at the end pierced the sky.

The information state enhancer is a special instrument that Reynolds sent him. It is extremely complicated to operate and requires multiple structures to be activated at the same time.

Used to enhance the existence of its own information state in certain processes.

Generally speaking, higher life forms converge their own information states.

But at certain specific moments, such as when superpowers are activated and energy is mobilized, the higher the level of activity of the information state, the better.

Li Ming stood in the center of the instrument, feeling nervous and a little unsure.

However, although Reynolds seems reckless on weekdays, he has never made any mistakes.

Give an order.

The instrument started up and energy was poured into it. The silver-white tube became transparent, revealing the scarlet particle stream surging inside. These glowing substances were like liquid nebulae that were forced into blood vessels.

The moment it touched the core of the reactor, it burned the composite armor into cracks shaped like lychee shells.

When the last crystal lattice completed the energy infusion, the entire instrument emitted a low-frequency vibration, and the central columnar core emitted a hazy glow.

The beam of light enveloped Li Ming below. He followed the instructions and began to try to communicate with the Holy Castle.

Under the current circumstances, there should be no reaction, but this time, he felt his consciousness suddenly shaken.

The whole person seemed to have turned into a tangled data stream and entered an extremely vast ocean, with waves that did not exist in the real spectrum surging.

There was no color or direction around him, he could only feel emptiness. The nothingness was not darkness, it was just simple... nothingness.

This is the ocean of information states of the universe. Some interstellar philosophers believe that this is actually the universe itself. The universe seen by normal life forms is just a reflection of the fusion of their own information attitude and the information state of the universe.

Here, he felt as if there was some place attracting him.

He turned into an invisible data stream, moving towards that direction like an arrow shot from a bow.

The last moment, it was still unknown, but the next moment it seemed to be right in front of us.

The view suddenly opened up, and the first thing that caught my eye was a hazy mist, surrounded by eternally intertwined chains.

Is the fog the information state represented by the Holy Castle?
Li Ming subconsciously thought that in the distance, there were small dots that looked like ants.

That was an individual information state. It was the first time that Li Ming observed the universe from this perspective.

But the next moment, an invisible force pressed him, and he dived towards the Holy Castle, colliding head-on with the intertwined eternal chains.

……

In the joint command ship, the three commanders and deputy commanders who usually handle various matters gather here rarely.

"The three chosen ones have arrived... and are ready to explore the Holy Castle at any time." Heckler reported expressionlessly.

Costat nodded, "Thank you for your hard work."

"Your Highness is indeed very efficient," Schmidt exclaimed.

"As expected, you are the one who found the Holy Castle."

Hines's agreement made Heckler's face look ugly for a moment. It was obvious that these two people were teasing him.

Costat took over the conversation: "Then let's get ready to start. The exploration members have been selected. This time, we will only use ordinary X-level life forms."

"Even if Qinglong is inside, the loss won't be too great."

"I hope he's not in there. If so, things will be much easier." Schmidt couldn't help but say.

This was something that had been discussed long ago, and after chatting for a while, they prepared to go out for a tour.

As a result, before leaving the command room, a shrill alarm sounded throughout the room and red lights flickered.

"This is a level one alarm." Costat's face changed slightly.

The four of them took out their smart terminals at the same time, and someone reported immediately--
"...Commander (Your Highness), the hyperdimensional information state blockade has issued an alarm, and someone is trying to break through the blockade..."

Schmidt's pupils shrank slightly, "Is it Qinglong?"

Hines then asked, "If it is Qinglong, does that mean he is really not in there?"

Only Costat immediately gave the order, saying in a deep voice: "Follow the plan and record the interception."

After this incident, the four returned to the command room.

The holographic image in front of us simulates the blockade at the information level to intuitively present the entire process.

On the layers of chains, there was an imperceptible tiny edge that was moving towards them and was almost sinking into them.

"Since he really wasn't in there, it took him so long to react. His reaction was a bit slow." Hines stared at the screen and couldn't help but sneer, "I thought he would just charge in and kill his way in."

"He's not a fool." Schmidt shook his head. "He probably thought of a way to deal with it, so he decided to enter the Saint Castle again."

“Heh…” Hines sneered, “It’s just an information state that carries the projection of a consciousness body. It can’t do anything. Even if you enter it and generate a mimic body, you can’t kill it.”

"But..." Costat said, "It's better than him staying still. As long as the record is successful this time, he will no longer be able to communicate with the Saint Castle."

"But I'm afraid he has a backup plan." He looked quite solemn, Qinglong's methods were obvious to all.

Hines didn't think so, and said coldly: "Could it be that our three civilizations combined can't even win once?"

.........

In the holy castle, the Overseer walked out of the door, looked outside the energy shield, and vaguely sensed something.

Leonidachus couldn't help but feel that he was not dead, but was abandoned here by everyone, and no one cared about a small person like him.

"Your Excellency the Overseer..." He hesitated, not knowing what was going on.

"Shut up." The Supervisor raised his hand and felt carefully.

Then, his expression suddenly changed and he turned around and looked behind him.

Sure enough, a mimicry body is gradually taking shape.

"This is... Lord Qinglong?" Leonidak was stunned and quickly guessed it.

The Azure Dragon actually descended in this way.

The Supervisor frowned slightly. This guy shouldn't have come.

He had a preliminary understanding of the external information blocking equipment, which had a recording function.

The first breakthrough can catch the opponent off guard, but the information state is recorded.

The second time it was like an iron wall that was impossible to break through.

Before its camouflaged body was fully formed, a mechanical body suddenly walked out and threw out an object like a black box.

The Supervisor's mouth twitched. If this isn't a mimic body, then where did these things come from?

Before the mimic body in front of him was fully formed, Li Ming's voice came out intermittently: "Look... well, this..."

boom!
Before he could finish his words, his entire body exploded and communications were cut off again.

……

"Warning, an unknown information state has broken into it..."

A few large characters appeared on the holographic image, but the expressions of Costat and the others did not change, they were solemn and serious.

"Information state recording, recording successful..."

"The blockade line was reorganized, the blockade line was reorganized successfully..."

The alarm gradually faded away, and a few large words appeared on the screen: "Transdimensional communication has been cut off."

Costat's solemn expression finally relaxed, as if nothing unexpected had happened, and this time things finally went as planned.

"Ha..." Hines laughed loudly, "This Lord Qinglong has solved a hidden danger for us, but he wasted the only chance to contact us. Now, he will never be able to communicate with the Saint Castle again."

Schmidt also breathed a sigh of relief, as if a huge rock had fallen from his chest. "Next, we can slowly explore the Saint Castle."

Why was Qinglong so careless this time?

Heckler, on the other hand, did not look very happy. He was in a very conflicted mood. He did not want Qinglong to succeed, nor did he want the three major civilizations to succeed.

It would be best if both sides suffered losses in the fight, but Qinglong rashly broke through and directly lost his admission ticket to the Holy Castle.
