This is not mechanical ascension...

Chapter 596: The Power of the Void Anchor

"Be steady..." Li Ming did not take it lightly.

At present, all these metal materials are under strict guard, and those storage devices are not only storage tables, but also defense locks.

Li Ming first carefully controlled them one by one, controlling them from the root, so that he could regulate them with Suzaku.

At the same time, he did not miss any visible defensive measures around him.

"Perhaps there is also a weight measuring device of an overall nature..." Li Ming tried his best to think if there was anything he had missed. The defense measures in the room had been mostly solved.

But there may be more outside the room. The mass of these metal materials is extremely heavy. If they suddenly disappear, they might be discovered.

However, these were all minor problems. He pulled out a mechanical body from the control system on the spot, and then smelted the materials, tracing them into metal blocks of similar size and weight.

Put one away and replace one.

"In this case, there should be no problem." Li Ming thought again and again, and came to a piece of "Void Forged Steel".

With a slight touch of his palm, he used the [Subspace Folding Ring] to take it in.

The X-level [Subspace Folding Ring] can be put away directly without touching it as long as it is within a certain range around him.

The touch method is only used to make the replacement more precise.

But at the moment when the piece of void forged steel in front of him was collected, the replacement metal block just fell.

Li Ming's expression suddenly changed drastically, and the originally calm air suddenly began to ripple like water waves.

Silver light as thin as hair formed a spider web in the void, and the nearby instruments and equipment were instantly crushed into powder, with the debris suspended in a spiral of gray mist.

Where does the spatial fluctuation come from?
Li Ming's heart was shocked. This was definitely not the spatial fluctuation left behind when he put away the metal material.

Is this... some kind of detection measure, space blockade?

No, I didn't sense any space blockade.

Li Ming's thoughts raced like lightning. Taking anything out of the control system would not cause any spatial fluctuations.

However, the control ability of the [Subspace Folding Ring] and the folding space that comes with it do not have this kind of power and will still produce space fluctuations.

But he had felt it in detail and found that there were no monitoring measures in the space, and this slight spatial fluctuation could not even spread outside the room. How could it be discovered so quickly?
The fluctuations before my eyes became more and more violent, as if transparent glass was cracked by invisible fingers.

Cold sweat broke out on the back of his neck. In the gap that gradually opened up in the center of the ripples, in the darkness that was not even the size of a fingernail, an extremely dangerous intuition came over him. This thing could really pose a threat to him.

And it is an extremely deadly threat.

The entire room seemed to have become the throat of some giant beast, and the increasingly widening space rift seemed to be ready to devour anyone.

It's the Anchor of the Void!
Li Ming's pupils contracted, and he instantly realized that the only thing with such terrifying power and extremely silent monitoring could be the Titan relic.

This thing's capabilities are far greater than I imagined.

He had never seen the power of the Titan Relic in its complete state, and this time it taught him a lesson.

However, the moment Li Ming realized something was wrong, he wanted to put all the metal materials in front of him into the folding space.

However, two different spatial fluctuations collided in the void before his eyes, and the sound of thousands of steel needles scraping against glass could be faintly heard. The air at the edge of the crack disappeared as if being gnawed, leaving absolute nothingness.

He felt a resistance.

The space blockade has arrived, and the specifications are higher than the X-level [Subspace Folding Ring].

But he reacted quickly, spreading out the time distortion force field to cover the entire room, and directly increasing the flow rate difference to the maximum.

As expected, the time distortion field of the Star of Eternal Silence was used to change the flow of time, causing the consistency of space and time to be destroyed.

The waves in the void began to tremble, the silver spider web collapsed, and shook the current space blockade.

As the spatial fluctuations swept through, he had already collected all the metal materials in front of him into the folded space.

The blazing energy aura was undisguised, and the moment the metal wall was torn apart, streams of black and red light rushed out like a ferocious beast breaking free of its chains.

Li Ming's afterimage still remained in the same place, but his real body had smashed the wall. The flying metal fragments melted into golden-red beads in mid-air, exploding with sparks.

boom!
The ground of the interstellar fortress suddenly exploded, and a red-black beam of light, like a sharp sword, headed towards the star gate passage not far away.

In this highly alert area, the sudden change immediately triggered the highest level of alarm.

Red warning lights were on in all warships, fortresses, and outposts.

But Li Ming has already converted all of his own blessings into speed, and his body is also shrouded in a time distortion force field, making him incredibly fast.

According to his estimation, he would be able to enter the star gate passage in less than a second.

However, an extremely strange phenomenon occurred before our eyes.

The space around seemed to be infinitely stretched, every inch of space was multiplying, and the scene of the warships in the distance was pulled into long strips, emitting dark golden streams of light.

He felt like he was on a runway with no end. No matter how fast he ran, the star gate in front of him was always far away from him.

"Endless Corridor..." Li Ming's heart sank involuntarily. This was an advanced application of space. A short distance was infinitely stretched.

An ordinary endless corridor would definitely not be able to trap him escaping at such a fast speed.

But the one taking action now is the Void Anchor, and no matter how fast he is, he cannot escape.

However, his time distortion force field cannot cover such a large area to provide resistance.

"Time distortion field, not many people have this ability..."

The mental fluctuations came from somewhere, carrying a sense of surprise and suppressed excitement.

"No matter who you are, since you offered to send yourself in, I won't be polite."

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Ming suddenly felt that he was trapped in some kind of gelatinous space structure. Every time he moved forward a little bit, he would leave a kilometer-long amber afterimage.

The surrounding space began to split into nested Möbius strips. All kinds of bizarre scenes emerged in it and began to collapse towards the center.

A feeling of being stuck in a swamp became increasingly stronger, and the spatial barrier reinforced by the Void Anchor took on an icy blue color.

"He wants to exile me..." Li Ming realized that he was about to face the Void Anchor's most powerful single-target attack.

Once it takes shape, he might really be in trouble.

But the Void Anchor in front of him should also be in a damaged state, so it cannot be condensed directly at the first time, and it takes time.

"There are two options. Either we break it before it forms, or we go to the Holy Castle and ask the Overseer for help..."

While Li Ming was thinking, a purple short-handled hammer appeared in his hand.

[Giant God's Strike] was launched fiercely, and a force that he should not be able to withstand flowed through Li Ming's fragile body.

The Infinite Hammer trembled slightly, and then emitted an increasingly dazzling light. Terrifying power gathered on it, and every tremor formed ripples like drum beats.

With Li Ming's current energy level and all the blessings, this attack has already reached a 4000X explosion, and the target is the void in front of him.

"Are you Qinglong?" The other party was extremely surprised. The moment the iconic hammer appeared, he understood the other party's identity.

They never expected that the guy they were planning to deal with would suddenly appear here.

"Give it to me, broken!"

The hammer light tore a broken grating and smashed down brazenly. Boom!
The whole world seemed to have pressed the mute button, and the spatial barriers that were gathering towards the center from all directions stagnated.

Then, there was a roar of shattering glass like a tsunami.

The ice-blue sky, which looked like it was made up of countless prisms, now had spider-web-like black marks on it.

The shock wave caused by the hammer strike materialized into a giant ring of purple light, and all the matter within the ring began to disintegrate in a reverse manner. The final collapse of the space blockade from the Void Anchor was like a glacier falling into a sea of ​​fire.

The aftermath was like a raging sea, sweeping across the entire area, shattering it. A void storm roared out, raging in all directions.

In the void, a burly middle-aged man had a look of horror in his eyes, holding a black anchor covered with cracks in his hand. "It was...destroyed?"

Even though the exile of the Void Anchor has not yet been fully formed, no one has ever escaped from this process.

The scene before his eyes really shook his cognition, and a few words emerged in his mind - worthy of being Qinglong.

However, after a brief shock, he quickly adjusted his mind and prepared to continue mobilizing the Void Anchor with the intention of blocking it again.

After all, this is just a blockade, and he wants to see how many times Qinglong can resist.

However, the scene that was happening right now made him somewhat confused and uncertain.

The figure in the void had an extremely weak aura, and it could even be said that he was barely breathing.

The next moment, cracks suddenly appeared on the surface of the body, and then it suddenly broke apart, light overflowed, and the breath of life completely dissipated.

"Dead, dead?"

He was stunned, his brain was slow to react, and he didn't react at all.

Qinglong, just died like that?

An incredible emotion surged in my heart.

But it was only a moment, the light from the body's explosion rolled back and gathered together again, the fiery breath surged...

No, why does it feel so weak?

The series of strange things happening right now were beyond his comprehension, and it was even more difficult for him to react in the first place.

In this moment of distraction, the red-black light was not idle, and had already been drawn into the star gate passage that was about to be closed.

"Not good!" His face changed drastically, and his figure flashed in front of the star gate, but he stopped abruptly and did not chase in.

Qinglong escaped into the star gate channel, and every tiny movement in it corresponded to an incalculable distance in the main universe.

The other party can break through the star gate channel at any time and fall into the main universe, making it impossible to track them.

Chasing after him blindly would do him no good.

As the holder of the Federation's Titan relic, his primary goal is to protect the Void Anchor in his hand and there cannot be any accidents.

The confrontation between the two did not even last more than five seconds.

The energy aftermath generated had just reached the surrounding battleships and fortresses at this moment, setting off a chain explosion of unknown extent, and flames formed a huge curtain all around.

His expression was grim, but he just stretched out his hand lightly, the Void Anchor vibrated, and the spatial fluctuations swept away, repairing the damage just caused and sweeping away the energy aftermath.

At this moment, the alarm in the entire area had only sounded for the third time.

Large groups of evolved forms flew out from outposts in all directions, looking around vigilantly, confused and at a loss.

"Is there an attack?"

Costat and others arrived just late, their faces solemn and brows furrowed as they looked at the wreckage of the warships around them.

Although the energy aftermath only raged for a moment, the damage it caused was difficult to estimate. At least hundreds of thousands of warships were destroyed.

"Mr. Holmes..." Hines came up and greeted him. Given his personality, he didn't dare to act arrogantly in front of this man.

The opponent is not only the user of the Void Anchor, but his strength is second only to Alves, and he has a special status.

He asked cautiously: "What happened? Was there an attack?"

Holmes' cheeks were like weathered rocks, firm and hard, with messy white stubble on his chin.

His expression was still very ugly, and he uttered two words: "Qinglong."

"Is it Qinglong?" Schmidt was distracted, and Kostat's face changed slightly.

Hines' pupils shrank, and he said angrily, "He actually came here to attack? Why didn't you stop him from staying?"

He questioned subconsciously, and then said to himself that something was wrong. He felt cold all over and Holmes looked at him coldly.

His face changed and he hurriedly explained, "Don't get me wrong, I just..."

"It's good that we can repel him." Costat couldn't help but smooth things over. "He would test this place, which was also within our expectations. Thanks to Mr. Holmes."

"The current losses are not that great, just a few warships."

When this matter was mentioned, Holmes' face darkened. He did not respond and looked in another direction.

Seeing Holmes' reaction, Costat felt uneasy. He subconsciously followed the other person's gaze and his breathing couldn't help but stagnate.

In that area, there was an interstellar fortress under heavy defense, but a hole was blown in its surface.

"That's... the central warehouse. All the materials are stored in it." Schmidt almost lost his composure and said in disbelief: "He... he... he didn't come from outside to kill me?"

What just happened was short and rapid, and no one knew what was going on.

"He broke out from the inside." Holmes finally spoke in a dull voice: "I also discovered strange spatial fluctuations inside through the Void Anchor."

"Hurry, hurry, contact Knox and ask him to block the star gate!" Hines breathed rapidly, and seemed to have guessed what had happened.

"Too late." Holmes shook his head, but did not stop Hines.

Several people came to the warehouse with uneasy mood. When they went in, their hearts, which were already half disappointed, were completely chilled.

They were standing in the metal material storage room. Schmidt's face was pale, as if he had fallen into an ice cellar. "It's empty. This... this is the material that cost so much to transport, and he cleared it out just like that!"

The value of these materials themselves is one thing, and the other is the need to transport these materials in a short period of time.

The human and material resources they mobilized are all intangible costs.

Hines' pupils were bloodshot, he gritted his teeth, and let out a low roar from his throat: "How on earth did he sneak in!"

Costat remained silent, and his reaction was not as dramatic as the other two.

After all, these materials did not come from the empire.

He walked out of the room silently, looked around, and came back to comfort them, "Please stay calm, there is no loss of other materials."

This news did not appease the two.

"Keep calm?" Hines looked at him coldly.

In his opinion, Costat is now talking without any pain in his waist.
