This is not mechanical ascension...

Chapter 603 Traitor
"It won't be long before we know whether it is true or not. You just need to be prepared." Malcolm said calmly.

"Give them some more time. If they still don't show up, we will directly destroy the Chaos Center and begin to indiscriminately clear out the Chaos Star Gap."

Several people nodded, and orders were issued one after another.

As the agreed time passed, Anduin and others still did not show up, which naturally caused speculation from the outside interstellar media.

Many people thought that Anduin and the others were probably scared.

Qinglong was unwilling to take action, and they had no capital to resist.

At the same time, on the other side of the interstellar space, in the desolate universe, a large number of life forms gathered here, all emitting high-energy radiation.

"The coalition forces of the three major civilizations have arrived, but Anduin and others seem to have not shown up yet."

Waves of spiritual fluctuations were echoing, and many people looked down at their smart terminals, paying close attention to the situation in the chaos center.

The interstellar media invited by the three major civilizations are unable to leak information for the time being, but there are still people who use beyond-visual-range means to spy from a very far distance and can always find some clues.

"Ha...it will definitely not appear. I'm afraid Qinglong is helpless this time." Someone gloated.

Gustav shouted, "Your Excellency Qinglong has his own ideas. What we need now is to find the four missing X-level life forms!"

Everyone looked puzzled. In fact, most people acknowledged Qinglong's strength and contribution to the United Organization of Higher Life Forms, and they also had a good impression of him.

But after all, it was a coalition of three major civilizations, and there was nothing we could do even if we wanted to help.

Gustav stood in the void, seemingly not paying attention to the chaotic star gap, and his mental fluctuations emanated away.

"Based on Clarkson's movement trajectory and the search trajectory of Borso and the other two, after cross-comparison, the area most likely to have an accident is this area."

"We have searched almost completely, and there is nothing in this area." Senil said, feeling disappointed. Could it be that she guessed wrong, and Qinglong was not doing anything secretly?
"Nico..." Gustav suddenly called someone.

"Sir Gustav..." A life form wearing armor flew over, obviously not an X-level life form.

"Are you sure Clarkson won't disappear somewhere else?" Gustave asked.

Nico said hurriedly, "Lord Clarkson has realized that there is something else behind his grandson's death, and he is searching one by one according to the four communication breakpoints. This is also where Lord Clarkson's communication disappeared."

On the other side, Anatoly had raised his hand, and a large number of distorted symbols poured into the void before his eyes, and then condensed into a virtual screen in front of everyone for replay.

"…There's nothing unusual." Anatoly frowned.

Simple time travel can be easily affected by various factors.

However, as long as it is found that there is a period of time where the scene cannot be retraced, it means that there is an abnormality here.

However, he looked back a year and found no surprises.

He said meaningfully: "Either nothing happened here, or someone more powerful than me wiped out everything."

Gustav frowned slightly. This matter seemed to be much more troublesome than he had imagined. Although this action was taken to take advantage of the situation, its main purpose was to target Qinglong.

But there was one thing he was right about, he was the one who assigned these three people.

If he fails to find an explanation, it will be troublesome if someone mentions it later. It will be difficult for him to assign someone else later.

Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. There were quite a few people present, nearly forty in total, all of them level X life forms. It was impossible that they couldn't find even the slightest clue, right?
"Maybe I can give it a try..." A mental wave came from behind.

Gustav looked at him and was surprised. "Sir Igor..."

This guy is an X-level life form active in the Star Alliance, running a not-so-big force. He usually keeps a low profile and rarely interacts with other people, so his presence is not very high.

Igor was naturally the navigator. He floated over calmly and said, "I have an ability that can track the target's activities based on the information state. Maybe I can find clues."

After hearing this, Gustav was not excited at all. Instead, he reminded: "These people are all x-level life forms. They should restrain themselves during their daily activities."

Igor smiled mysteriously: "Mr. President, haven't you heard that there is no living being that can truly converge its own information state? Wherever it passes, the universe will definitely remember it."

Anatoly looked surprised.

"Oh..." Gustav was also a little surprised, and called Nico over and asked him to find some things that Clarkson usually used.

Soon, Nico collected a lot of things. Many people gathered around Igor, and they all frowned as they looked at the miscellaneous items in front of them.

They didn't find any information from it.

However, Igor picked and chose, and finally took out a metal ring.

“There’s still some left on it.”

Many eyes gathered around him, staring at each other with suspicion. Is there really any information on it?
Igor asked Nico: "Is this something Clarkson often touches?"

Nico was immediately surprised and asked, "How do you know? This is a gift from Mr. Clarkson's first wife. She always carries it with her. It was only because he left in a hurry this time that he didn't carry it with him."

Everyone's expression changed involuntarily, it seemed like this guy really had something.

Then, Igor held the ring, the breath of life surged, and liquid silver energy flowed out from the surface of his skin and then poured into the void.

Not long after, Igor gathered his breath, took a long breath, and faced everyone's gaze, saying, "I have fulfilled my mission and found some traces. Everyone, follow me."

Really discovered it?

Gustav was surprised and looked Igor up and down, then he praised gently: "Thanks to the United Organization, otherwise it would be difficult to see the methods of Sir Igor."

He was in a good mood, and with everyone's efforts together, it was indeed very convenient to get things done.

Others also praised him. Igor waved his hands and pretended to be polite for a while before everyone boarded the spaceship and followed his instructions.

……

Another half month passed, on Lanka.

"…The coalition has issued an ultimatum." Anduin frowned. "If we don't show up, they will blow up the Chaos Core and start an indiscriminate crackdown."

Everyone had different thoughts and felt a little anxious. Their eyes fell on Li Ming, who was resting with his eyes closed, but they saw that he had no reaction.

This kid really has Qinglong's style, so steady.

Sheffield couldn't help but think of it.

Since he didn't react, everyone looked away again.

After waiting for another two days, the bracelet-type smart terminal Li Ming was wearing vibrated with a "buzz".

It immediately attracted everyone's attention, but the next moment everyone looked away, pretending to be nonchalant.

Li Ming opened his eyes and glanced down. The message was from an anonymous account with only three dots.

He smiled slightly, and everyone seemed to notice something and looked over. He said, "Everyone, you can set off now."

For some reason, looking at the smile on his face, Anduin felt a little more confident. The curiosity of several people reached its peak, but they also knew that Li Ming would definitely not tell them, so they could only board Anduin's spaceship and set off with this feeling.

The voyage was calculated precisely, and it only took ten days to reach the outskirts of the Chaos Star Gap.

The United Nations had already laid down layers of iron curtains here, and before it got close, the spaceship was forced to fall from the jump channel.

The first thing that caught the eye was the majestic fleet array of the Allied Forces.

The dense, endless torrent of steel made even Anduin and his companions hold their breathing, as if a pair of huge hands were gripping their hearts.

Their purple shuttle-shaped spaceship was as insignificant as an ant.

A large number of media spaceships have already noticed the movement here and are gathering towards them. The high-precision cameras on the outer shells are aimed at this group of high-end spaceships and are taking continuous pictures.

I was afraid that there would not be enough material to publish the news.

At the same time, streams of energy flew out from the coalition forces' array, no more, no less, exactly thirty.

Standing in the forefront was Hemod holding the Gun of Kashmir.

As if it was a signal, after these thirty people settled down, the surging breath of life came like a huge wave.

Some media spaceships that were relatively close to them shook and quickly fled away.

It was a show of force right from the start.

Inside the spacecraft, various instruments were vibrating and humming, and sparks were flying on the operating tables.

This kind of life breath is more like radiation, and rarely has direct killing power, but when the number is stacked, the power is also considerable.

"Let's go." Anduin's face changed slightly. After straightening his clothes, his expression returned to being serious. He was the first to walk out of the cabin.

A large number of cameras instantly focused on Sheffield, Barbaro, Carter, Sven and Li Ming.

Ok?
who! ?

Reporters from all major interstellar media who were excitedly taking photos and videos were stunned and looked at the young man who appeared in the camera in disbelief.

Why is he here? Isn’t he here to send me off?

Many people's throats rolled, their hearts were filled with emotions, they held down the shooting button, and they had already thought of a string of shocking titles in their minds -
[The sorrow of the stars, the lament of the man with the highest development potential in history! ]

With the media reporters' intuition as keen as that of sharks to the smell of blood, they have already smelled different information.

Now that Li Ming is here, where is his teacher?
Is it true, as the interstellar rumors say, that Qinglong is going to fight against the entire coalition of the three major civilizations?
“He actually came.”

In the virtual conference room, the heads of the three civilizations were looking at the central screen, which was now fixed on Li Ming, and they were also quite surprised.

"Qinglong is really confident to let Li Ming come." Malcolm's meaning was unclear.

"We have prepared everything that needs to be prepared. Unless Qinglong is the ultimate life form, I don't believe he can break through. In addition, we want this person." Gutierrez said, "We used the Kashmir Spear and need compensation."

"Haven't you let your people be the commander-in-chief this time?" Malcolm frowned. Li Ming was different from Qinglong. There was no need to eliminate him, and there was great value in training him.

"That's not compensation."

"It won't be too late to fight after we get it." Adam stared at Li Ming on the screen with flickering eyes.

If this time is the same as before and Qinglong still uses Li Ming's body to attack, then it will be a foregone conclusion.

Malcolm and Gutierrez each snorted coldly and said nothing.

As soon as Li Ming stepped out, he realized something was wrong.

Because the thirty people in front of him didn't seem surprised by his appearance and looked very calm.

There was one person who acted very calmly, and you could say he was pretending well, but these thirty people were exactly the same, and that was not right.

Who is so impatient? Li Ming's eyes swept over several people including Anduin.

Anduin also realized this and frowned.

Who is so stupid as to choose sides so early?

"Where's Benito?" Hermod's mental fluctuations came, and he looked down at Anduin and the other six with cold eyes.

"He can't come," Anduin responded.

"It seems that he doesn't take us seriously." Hemod shook his head and said lightly, "We will strangle all the forces under him and leave no one alive. Of course...he is also included."

Naturally, the crowd would not be frightened so easily and remain expressionless.

"Everyone, please come in. We need to discuss how to deal with the chaotic star gap." Hemod swung his hand, and the Spear of Kashmir drew an arc and pointed to the center of chaos.

Thirty people lined up in two rows, from all races, seeming to be welcoming but also intimidating.

Li Ming's gaze fell on the spear covered with cracks, and greed flashed in his eyes.

Led by Anduin, several people slowly floated towards the center of chaos. Their backs seemed very lonely, forming a sharp contrast with the higher life forms on both sides.

The interstellar media in the rear seized the opportunity, adjusted various angles, and took photos crazily, trying to find a picture with the most perfect composition and win a big prize.

Naturally, they could not enter the center of chaos and could only watch as the streaks of light disappeared before them.

Anduin led the way, and the group moved forward, with the thirty X-level lifeforms following closely behind them, like an escort.
The streets of the central node were empty. Although there were no directions, Anduin seemed to know where to go and headed straight for the central area.

Here lies his palace, which is magnificent and has a gate nearly ten meters high, carved with intricate patterns. It doesn't seem to have been forced to break in.

Anduin was silent for a moment, then he reached out and pushed the door, and it opened.

The group arrived at the conference center, where there was a large wooden table with seats on both sides that could accommodate nearly a hundred people.

Anduin sat down directly, followed by Sheffield. Li Ming found his seat, and Barbarol and others sat down next to each other.

Hemod sat opposite, holding the Kashmir Spear in his hand all the time, and the other X-level life forms took their seats one by one.

No one spoke at first, and the two sides seemed to be in a state of confrontation, but in fact they were not on the same level at all. The atmosphere became increasingly tense, and although there were many people, it was as silent as death.

Until a voice broke the silence, "How many..."

Everyone's eyes were focused on him, and they were all quite surprised to see the student of Qinglong in front of them.

I didn't expect that he would be the first to speak.

The gazes of more than 30 X-level life forms were no less than a huge mountain of pressure, but Li Ming remained calm and even a little curious:

"Can I ask, between us, who chose to join you?"
