This is not mechanical ascension...

Chapter 663 Everything is different

"There are also mechanical guards, which can also be upgraded..." Li Ming thought of it again.

"After evolution, the energy level is estimated to be around 100X. Sharing half of my blessing, all abilities are fully activated, which is about 500 times. After the amplification, the energy level can reach 50J..."

After a rough calculation, Li Ming's throat rolled. The mechanical guard was really abnormal.

Every time at the early stage of evolution, it can provide him with extremely powerful combat assistance.

Even if the estimate of the ultimate life form is higher, with an energy level of 50J, it is definitely qualified as the ultimate life form.

"Each one only requires 10 billion metal energies. It's really worth it..." Li Ming couldn't help but feel more emotional.

Being promoted to level X is indeed a whole new realm, everything is different.

By the time he has completed all preparations and upgrades, even if Peak Tanus comes, he will not be able to get any good results.

"There is also the production of mechanical bodies. Now we can mutate into X-level mechanical bodies, but we need an assembly line to build A-level mechanical bodies..." Li Ming couldn't help but shake his head. The higher the level, the more difficult it is to build.

The difficulty of creating a B-class mechanical body is not just ten times that of an A-class mechanical body, but dozens of times.

Even Reynolds and Mikhail each only have one Class A mechanical assembly line, the related materials are extremely expensive and the output is limited.

"Take it slow, there will always be something..." Li Ming outlined various plans in his mind, full of motivation.

However, he still has an important matter to do. Li Ming's eyes flickered, "Go to the Holy Castle and get the Crown of Diglas..."

In fact, he had a certain degree of confidence some time ago, and he could get the crown of Diglas by slowly grinding.

However, it takes a lot of time, and the metal energy has not been accumulated enough.

Instead of suffering, it is better to save time and use it to develop gene seeds and reach level X as soon as possible.

Now, the metal energy was almost enough, and he estimated that he could get it at will.

With a slight movement of his mind, he began to communicate with the Holy Castle on the spot.

.........

When Li Ming evolved into an X-level life form, he was in a desolate star field somewhere within the empire, within the sixteen star districts.

It seemed as if a fierce battle had just taken place here. The metal debris and biological tissues were intertwined into a strange symbiotic structure in the weightless environment.

On the surface of a broken gun barrel, dark red flesh and blood tissue was still throbbing, entwining the titanium alloy skeleton like a parasitic vine.

On the inside of the half-broken porthole, there was a distress code written in blood, which was now being slowly corroded by the bright green biomass droplets.

The floating armor plates reflected the afterglow of the stars, cutting the battlefield into a cage of alternating light and darkness.

The central mothership was cut into several pieces by a terrifying force. On one of the wreckage, Abel was kneeling on the metal floor in a daze, his hair disheveled, his eyes dazed, and blood flowing under him.

In front of him was half a limb, and the heavy armor on his body had been twisted beyond recognition due to the huge external force, and his eyes were glaring as if he had died with his eyes open.

It was his bodyguard, Leathers.

The broken energy pipes in the inner layer of the alloy armor emitted a flickering light.

And beside him, there was a life form shrouded in shadow.

The air bubble slowly expanded, gradually enveloping Abel. The crackling sound of electric arcs suddenly came into his ears, gradually bringing him back to his senses.

"Who sent you?" Abel said in a hoarse voice.

He knew that this matter would be troublesome, but he didn't expect it to be so deep and the other party to be so bold.

After being fooled in the Sixteen Star District, he left in anger, intending to mobilize more forces first and then look for the next breakthrough.

As a result, he was robbed and killed here just after leaving the sixteenth star zone.

"Your Highness..." His voice was so deep that it was hard to tell whether it was a man or a woman. "Why is it so serious? Can't you just take the list and leave?"

“Even if you don’t tell me, I know that within the empire, the only people capable of commanding X-level life forms, besides the Holy Emperor, are the people in the House of Commons and the House of Lords…” Abel raised his head and stared straight at the figure in front of him.

All non-direct lineage, X-level life forms within the empire need to have a genetic lock engraved in their bodies.

Control is in the hands of the royal family. It is the cornerstone of rule and can be severely punished at any time if something goes wrong.

However, this genetic lock cannot capture thoughts. As long as things are done in secret, the royal family will naturally be helpless if they cannot find out.

“Holy Emperor, Holy Emperor…” The other party didn’t seem surprised. Abel could guess it and sighed more: “His tactics are indeed tough, but he shouldn’t kill everyone. Does he really think that using you princes as the vanguard will make people afraid to act rashly?”

"In the face of life and death, even if you are a prince, I will kill you without mercy."

Abel remained silent, and he admitted that he had thought some things wrong.

It's not that he hadn't thought that the other party might take action, but he didn't expect that the other party would act so quickly, so urgently, and so cruelly.

In the face of absolute strength, all ideas are useless.

"So, are you going to kill me?" Abel's voice was hoarse.

"No, no..." The other party shook his head unexpectedly, "Although I said so just now, things have not reached the point of no return. Killing you, I don't know what kind of storm it will cause."

"This time, it is both a warning and an invitation."

"Hmm?" There was a moment of confusion in Abel's eyes.

The life form in the shadow sighed: "I have to say that you, the youngest prince, do have some skills."

"You have accumulated a large number of fans in just a few years. Although the process is a bit strange, we don't care. After all, it is part of your method."

"So, you are qualified to cooperate with us, just like Prince Ryan, Prince Heckler and many other princes..."

Abel was in a trance for a moment, and after turning around, he ended up in this situation.

Even in the face of a life-and-death crisis, Abel still struggled. Adam's once domineering face and the scene of his near-death experience not long ago kept switching before his eyes.

He still regarded Adam as a majestic father, a ruthless ruler, and a great man whom he admired.

But he thought again of the empire now in ruins. His father wanted to rebuild the empire, but he no longer had the time.

But once you board these people's pirate ship...

Although Abel was hesitant, he had already made up his mind.

The training that the imperial princes have received since childhood is that everything is useful.

It is not a bad idea to rely on the power of the House of Commons and the House of Lords.

As for whether you can balance it or not, it all depends on your future methods.

These people are still an extremely powerful force in the dark. If they help me, the throne of the Holy Emperor will be within my reach...

wrong!

At the critical moment, Abel's eyes narrowed slightly, and he asked in a deep voice: "I should not be the first person you have contacted."

"Haha..." A laugh came from the shadows, "What do you guess?"

Abel's heart sank to the bottom. He was not the most powerful prince and he had never even had contact with the House of Commons and the House of Lords before.

The other party’s first choice is unlikely to be him. He is likely to be a backup, a backup among backups.

In that case, the significance of cooperating with the other party would not be so great. "Although the position of the Holy Emperor is tempting, it does not mean that there is only one Holy Emperor position in the entire empire to compete for." The other party sensed what Abel was thinking and hinted,

"I know that no matter who you princes are, as long as you ascend to the throne of the Holy Emperor, you will settle accounts with us in return, so we need a check and balance..."

"Just like Ryan and Heckler..." Abel showed a hint of sarcasm, but was suddenly stunned and asked in surprise: "Do you know that father is choosing an heir?"

A laugh came from the shadows, "We have been in contact with certain princes long before now."

Abel's face changed. The news of selecting a successor had already been known by the House of Commons and the House of Lords.

Father…are you…are you…really old?
The other party gave Abel enough time to digest the matter before asking, "So, Your Highness, what is your choice?"

"I..." Abel lowered his head, his eyes dim and uncertain: "I promise you..."

"A wise choice..." The shadow was not surprised, and then gradually dissipated, leaving only the voice echoing in Abel's ears: "A patrol fleet will arrive later. I have sent the attackers to your highness's smart terminal. Your highness should know how to answer."

There is no need to give the other party any leverage, and no other guarantees. The other party disappears after just a verbal agreement.

Abel suddenly realized at this moment and relaxed. The other party had never intended to kill him from the beginning.

Adam's influence is still there. If he really kills someone, there might be some major purge.

Abel slowly stood up and looked at Leathers who was lying on the ground with his eyes open.

He didn't know how much the House of Commons and the House of Lords knew, only that Adam was choosing his successor.

Still know that Adam is seriously injured and dying.

But now there are princes, or even more than one prince, who have reached cooperation with them.

This means that the next Holy Emperor is actually in their hands.

He didn't want to be Ryan or Heckler, but he didn't have a choice...

No, maybe there is still a chance.

An idea that he had been struggling with for a long time finally came to mind. He knew that there might be big troubles, but there were also many troubles at the moment.

Moreover, the Empire's high-level X-level life forms have been strengthened again. Even if the other party is brought in, there may be means of checks and balances.

"My methods..." Ya murmured in a low voice, but the second half of the sentence only echoed in his heart: "Beyond your imagination..."

……

In the holy castle, the supervisor stared at the blue dragon that was taking shape bit by bit.

"Why is it so slow this time..." Li Ming felt his body and didn't feel very comfortable.

"Your life level has evolved?" The Supervisor asked in surprise, "How could it be so fast?"

"The life level has been raised, so the formation of the mimicry body is so slow." Li Ming moved his body and roughly guessed it.

The Supervisor's mechanical pupils scanned the other party up and down, and then he suddenly remembered that the other party's life level was only lord level before.

He just keeps using that special ability to unleash combat power that far exceeds his current life level.

Lord level can kill transcendent level

Then, can the transcendent level compete with the dominant level?
The Supervisor couldn't help but think about it, and it seemed a bit far-fetched. He wanted to ask, but saw Qinglong had already walked into the Holy Castle Hall.

"Trial to become a king!"

The inspector hurriedly followed, but without permission, he could only watch from the spot.

As he entered the Holy Castle Hall, Li Ming immediately undertook the secondary overlord trial.

This time he didn't need an inspector, he could trigger it himself. Gray mist that hadn't been seen for a long time swept in from all directions and formed a solid arena.

"Hey..." Li Ming couldn't help but grin. He hadn't seen those familiar old brothers for a long time. It was time to get closer to them.

In the gray mist, two secondary overlord-level members of the Yuan clan emerged.

Li Ming stretched out his hand, and flowing lights intertwined in his hands, and the Kashmir Spear solidified in an instant.

“K, K, the Gun of Kashmir!?”

The Supervisor's two metal eyes almost popped out.

"Isn't it a hammer? How did it turn into a gun? And it's in a complete form?" The Supervisor didn't know what Qinglong was doing. Did he just change the appearance of the mimic weapon?

He didn't understand the point of doing this.

Li Ming let out a long sigh and shook the Kashmir Spear. With his current strength, he could crush these Yuan people.

Li Ming used conventional power and just stabbed casually.

As soon as he started to move, he had a completely different feeling. Everything in front of him was so fragile. The tip of the gun emitted fragments of light. Wherever it passed, the gray mist disappeared inch by inch, revealing the scene of the hall itself.

He even felt that his mimic body was beginning to fall apart and was totally unable to withstand such force.

Ok?
The next moment, Li Ming raised his eyebrows.

The gray fog in front of them dissipated like a tide, the Yuan clan that came to attack also dissipated halfway, and even the arena disappeared without a trace.

In a blink of an eye, he was standing in the Holy Castle Hall again, still a little dazed, with nothing all around him.

"The trial arena...why did it disappear?" Li Ming was puzzled and looked at the supervisor with a frown.

The Supervisor did not speak, but his body kept humming and his mechanical pupils flickered.

"Overloaded?"

Li Ming narrowed his eyes and appeared in front of the Inspector in a flash. An arc of electricity popped out and fell into the Inspector's body.

The machine twitched, and a blazing light shone from its pupils. The Supervisor suddenly looked up, grabbed him with both arms, and said in an excited voice that was almost distorted, "You just, just now..."

"What just happened..." Li Ming broke free and asked unhappily, "Why did the ring disappear?"

The Supervisor calmed down and said word by word: "The power you just burst out, has it reached the level of a master?"

"About that." Li Ming said vaguely.

The Supervisor's body buzzed again, and he almost crashed again. His emotions surged in his heart, and after calming down for a while, he slowly said:

"That's right. A master-level power can exempt one from the secondary master trial..."

"Is that so..." Li Ming was somewhat disappointed. He still wanted to get closer to those old brothers, but then he frowned again:

"That's not right. Why didn't I skip this process when I was trying it out before?"

The Supervisor explained: "That's because the level is too low and the energy consumed is not much, but the current power is too strong. Continuing to fight will cause great damage to the Holy Castle..."

Li Ming nodded thoughtfully, and then asked, "How can you survive the trial of the master?"

The Supervisor responded: "Due to energy storage reasons, there is only one chance to do the trial of domination. If you fail, you can no longer do it from this holy castle..."

"There is only one chance, so we must seize it." Li Ming nodded, but his eyes were looking at the Crown of Digras hanging above.

At some unknown time, the indestructible energy barrier outside the Crown of Digras had disappeared.
