This is not mechanical ascension...

On the control page, the nine control objects of his main combat system are arranged in order, namely-
Guns of Kashmir

【Crown of Diglas】

【Eternal Holy Seat】

[Heart of Talos]

【Justice Gauntlets】

【Vortex Swift Shadow】

【Shadow Sky Combat Armor】

【Nightmare Wreath】

【Earth-shaking Fist】

There are three Titan relics among them, and the Void Anchor and the Star of Eternal Silence are mostly used as auxiliary and not in the main battle.

[Heart of Talos] was used as a core before the Titan relic was completely repaired, and it is now considered a secondary core.

After the appearance of [Infinite Hammer], [Justice Gauntlets] is not even a secondary core, not to mention in front of [Spear of Kashmir], it is more of a supplement to the power blessing.

[Whirlpool Swiftness] is used to make up for the speed bonus, which is barely better than making up the numbers. [Nightmare Wreath] is used to temporarily resist mental attacks.

However, even after having the [Crown of Digras], it is not very useful.

As for the remaining two, they were just there to make up the numbers, and there has been nothing to replace them with, which is why they have been left until now.

The analysis is very simple. Basically, only [Heart of Talos] is more versatile and has transformation blessing. He is still using it even now.

Although the physical strength bonus from [Eternal Throne] can be ignored, speed and defense are still very important.

After a little thought, Li Ming decided on the control objects that needed to be upgraded.

The palm was extended, and the black and gold Heart of Talos emerged. The golden pattern penetrated deep into the texture, and slowly expanded and contracted as it beat.

An upgrade material plus 50 billion metal energies poured into it, and the [Heart of Talos] immediately underwent a transformation, and the golden lines on the surface of the heart became more and more dazzling.

The metal energy is injected into the muscle fibers, making them tougher, while the blood vessels also expand suddenly, with the tube walls breaking down and then reorganizing.

The flesh and blood gradually faded into a special platinum-colored material, and the muscle bundles gradually showed the precise interlocking of mechanical watches.

The black and gold energy collapsed, coating the entire heart with flowing light.

The upgrade was completed quickly. At this moment, the [Heart of Talos] was like an extremely exquisite work of art. It was made of platinum in color, and had a gradient of black and gold iridescence. Every beat caused golden ripples in the vacuum.

[Heart of Talos - Ultimate: The ultimate creation after multiple upgrades, containing incredible power.

……

Control Effect: Star Breaking Power

Control ability - Transplant: can temporarily replace one's own heart, and can convert one's own strength into speed, defense, and physical strength at the right time, and obtain a doubling effect. 】

Li Ming checked carefully, his eyes flashing, and found that the ability of [Dimension Walker] had disappeared, probably because the dimensional world it was related to had completely disappeared.

There wasn't much change in his abilities, but he was now very experienced and could see the huge amount of information hidden in the instructions at a glance.

There is an additional "right time" before the conversion blessing, and the effect is doubled. Double the power blessing can be converted into double the speed blessing.

The price/performance ratio is extremely high.

“This explanation of the right time is definitely not directed at me. Could it be…” Li Ming guessed vaguely and immediately put the upgraded [Heart of Talos] into the control column for experiment.

First summon a mechanical guard and let the opponent attack you, while giving up any other means of defense.

At the moment when the energy beam was approaching him, he could clearly feel all the power added, all superimposed on his defense, and his body immediately became incredibly solid.

At the same time, when the thought of counterattack came into his mind, the power was switched back.

"Sure enough..." Li Ming couldn't help but grin. It was almost as he thought. This blessing conversion had become fully automatic and he didn't have to worry about it at all.

When defense is needed, it will automatically convert into defense blessing, and when attacking it will be switched back, and when moving it will become speed blessing again.

After experimenting for a while, he found that the transition was smooth and seamless without any stagnation.

"Tsk tsk, I don't have to spend extra time thinking about the conversion in the future." Li Ming was quite satisfied, not only because of the fully automatic conversion, but also because the blessing of the transformation was no longer limited to one kind of blessing.

It is already possible to evenly convert the power blessing into three kinds of blessings. This upgrade has greatly enhanced the blessing conversion ability of the Heart of Talos.

With the combined power of all his current abilities, he is already close to...

"I almost forgot to see through the power of the stars..." Li Ming then remembered to check the effect.

[Star-breaking Power: Gain 500 times the power]

"Only five hundred times..." Li Ming was surprised and muttered to himself, "I thought it would be one thousand. In the past, the objects I controlled were all at the top of the same level of weapons. At this level, they are quite behind."

The upgrade only cost fifty billion, which was twenty billion less than the average cost of the weapons left behind by the Titans, but the overall upgrade effect was satisfactory.

Now, it has three hundred times the power of [Spear of Kashmir], one hundred times the power of [Gauntlets of Justice], one hundred times the power of [Earthshaking Fist], plus five hundred times the power of [Heart of Talos], and some scattered professional blessings.

Without using any abilities, the pure strength blessing has exceeded a thousand times. Due to the evolution to the X-level, the additional blessing of [Weapon Release] of [Ultimate Warrior] has also reached 40%.

The overall power blessing has reached 1500 times.

Moreover, the upgraded [Heart of Talos] is equivalent to directly increasing the speed, defense, and physical strength by three thousand times, which makes him happy just thinking about it.

Li Ming was quite emotional. Every time he upgraded the object he controlled, his strength would soar.

"The cost-effectiveness of the power blessing has increased, so we can rethink the new main battle system. Well, let's go check on the trident first."

Thinking about it in his mind, Li Ming was in a good mood. His figure flashed and he appeared in the void where the trident was stored.

He stretched out his hand and took the trident in his hand. After some operations, there were still 40 billion metal energies left. Li Ming didn't know if it was enough to expel the pollution.

Metal energy surged in, and the black lines attached to the surface of the trident began to wriggle violently and release black smoke as if stimulated by something.

The overall consumption was even less than Li Ming had imagined. It only consumed 10 billion metal energies to completely eliminate the pollution on the surface.

[Trident of the End - Ultimate (Damaged): The pinnacle super-object of a certain evolved civilization.

Control conditions: 65 billion metal energy
Control effect: [End Arms] Control ability - End Destruction: Your attack will be attached with the power of the end, and each layer can weaken the target's "recovery weakening", "speed weakening", "strength weakening", and "defense weakening" by 3%. It can be stacked up to 10 layers, and it carries the "annihilation" effect, and performs information-state strangulation. 】

"The attack comes with the power of the end?" Li Ming raised his eyebrows and looked at the instructions carefully.

These are multiple negative states that can completely suppress the enemy and also strangle the enemy in an information state.

This is a method of complete annihilation, and Li Ming has some understanding of it.

Take Levenback for example, he can transfer his thoughts to other places, but once he is touched by the power of the end, it will be like a calamity attached to his bones, no matter where his consciousness is transferred, it will be strangled.

As for the [End Armed Forces], although we cannot see them for the time being, they are probably similar to the [Kashmir Armed Forces].

"That's perfect. It can replace the [Shadow Sky Combat Mecha] later..." Li Ming's eyes flashed slightly.

With the [Heart of Talos], the cost-effectiveness of the power blessing becomes extremely high.

He planned to transform the remaining [Nightmare Wreath] and [Whirlpool Swift Shadow] into controlled objects that would increase his power.

He already had so much experience, and even had a lot of ready-made S-level [Earth-shaking Fists] in the control page, which were left over from the last time he focused on strengthening his strength.

Seeing that the remaining 30 billion metal energies were not enough to control the trident, he simply upgraded two X-level [Earth-shaking Fists] and replaced them immediately.

It is estimated that after mastering the trident, the pure power blessing will reach 1500 times, and after various blessings, it will exceed times.

"Wow..." Li Ming made a rough estimate and was secretly amazed. He sorted out his gains a little bit, and his strength doubled.

After calming down a little, I realized that I couldn't control the trident for the time being, so I could only leave it here.

First, he turned back to the Mechanical Royal Court and informed Ulrich to urgently allocate a batch of metal materials.

Then, he prepared to go to the Dominant Laboratory to see what effect the so-called strengthening of the alchemical puppet would have.

However, before that, there is one more thing that needs to be taken care of.

When he opened the smart terminal, Malcolm and Abel's communication requests and messages had filled his communication column.

After saying that he was ready to fight a war, he disappeared without a trace. The leaders of the three civilizations were almost going crazy.

He was absorbing metal energy some time ago and had no time to deal with them. After the absorption, he was busy repairing and upgrading, and it was time to deal with this matter.

The war with Yongyuan cannot be ignored either.

Directly activate the highest leader-level authority, send invitations to the three people, and hold a summit meeting.

The three guys had been waiting and established a connection as soon as possible, and the virtual projection was gradually outlined in the conference room.

"Finally I got in touch with you..." Malcolm's eyes were filled with resentment. God knows how depressed he has been these days.

"I'm sorry, everyone. I've been dealing with some things since I came back and couldn't get away from them." Li Ming said calmly.

Malcolm naturally couldn't accuse him further, so he could only calm down and ask solemnly: "Is the matter about the Yuan Clan War accurate?"

Alves would most likely not deceive him, but Malcolm still wanted to make sure, after all, it was a matter of concern to the entire interstellar space.

Li Ming nodded: "Well, I estimate that the infiltration of the Abyss Mist should have begun, and this matter will not go wrong."

"Is it inevitable?" Antigo couldn't help but ask.

"It is inevitable. We can unite the entire interstellar civilization. No one can escape this." Li Ming emphasized.

"But we have no experience in fighting against the Abyss." Malcolm sighed helplessly, "The Titans' civilization and evolutionary path are completely different from ours. We can't use the methods of fighting they left behind."

"I happen to have a few people here who can provide some theoretical help." Li Ming thought of the three recorders. They had been studying the Yuan clan. Perhaps they could combine the Titans' confrontation methods with the current era of evolution.

Li Ming still has such a talent? The three of them were surprised.

Li Ming looked around at the three people and further emphasized: "Eternal Abyss is active and will strike indiscriminately. Although the universe is vast, facing the Eternal Abyss, I'm afraid there is really no place to hide."

It is necessary to block the Abyss Mist, which can actually increase the activity of Yongyuan.

"We understand." The three looked solemn, and Abel asked, "Is there anything else you need our help with?"

"Hmm..." Li Ming thought for a moment, "How many planets in the universe are there without intelligent species?"

Malcolm was slightly stunned, not knowing why Li Ming suddenly asked this question. After thinking for a moment, he said, "The number should be quite large, especially in the Sea of ​​Stars. It is still too difficult for civilization to form there."

The definition of an intelligent race in the interstellar space is that it must have formed a civilization and have its own writing, language, culture, and heritage.

Even if it is just the most rudimentary hieroglyphics, it counts, but ordinary star beasts and the like are not attributed to intelligent races, otherwise there will be many legal problems.

There seem to be many civilizations in the interstellar space, but compared to the scale of the universe, there are no traces of civilization on many planets with life.

Li Ming said in a deep voice: "I will give the remaining blood species to you, and cultivate the blood mist on a planet without intelligent races, and carry out targeted diffusion."

"Without someone controlling it, the blood mist won't spread too quickly. We need to deploy it as soon as possible."

Blood species!
The three of them were startled, as they had received reports from their subordinates and knew that Li Ming had asked Levenbeck for the blood seed technology.

Now hearing him say this, a lot of things came to my mind at once.

Li Ming said frankly: "There are foreign enemies ahead, I hope everyone will cooperate sincerely. I will not hide it from you, I have a way to use blood mist to strengthen myself."

Can you also use blood mist?
The three of them were a little stunned. Malcolm was the first to react and said, "I understand. We will arrange it as soon as possible."

Extraordinary situations require extraordinary measures. If they can defeat Yongyuan, even if Li Ming uses the large-scale erosion method like Levenback, they will agree wholeheartedly.

Not to mention that now it is just eroding the planet where no intelligent species can survive.

The three of them were the ones who had seen the most darkness among the top leaders, and their own civilization had conducted many human experiments, so they didn't care too much about this matter.

"If it gets out of control, notify me in time..." Li Ming added, but sighed in his heart. The large-scale expansion of the blood mist in the later period must be related to Yongyuan's influence.

The blood species in his hands are far from being able to reach that expansion speed, at least it is impossible to absorb the energy of the planet for transformation, so he can only deploy it in advance.

The three of them nodded, and Li Ming immediately said, "There is one more thing. I need your cooperation. While preparing for the war, allocate some production lines to help me produce mechanical bodies and send them all to the Mechanical King's Court."

This... Malcolm was stunned. Is he taking advantage of the war to get something for free?
"No problem." Abel responded immediately, and Malcolm frowned slightly.

From the perspective of facing the enemy together, as long as they can win, it doesn't matter. He himself is not even opposed to this request.
