My Endless Life.

The Mechs that Begin to Gather in Chapter 623
Li Qi discovered that although Krend's presence was not very high in daily life, his shadow always seemed to be present in these major events.

From the initial attack on the Academy Star by the Martial Alliance, to the three-way alliance of the Martial Alliance, the Sages' Association, and the Revival Society during the assessment.

The Krend Empire has appeared in both.

Although it wasn't the people from the Klund Empire who appeared, but only their technology, the frequency of their appearances was still quite alarming.

What do they want to do?
And then again, their technology... is somewhat lacking.

Take the martial artist in front of us as an example. He seems to be still alive, but his appearance is very different from before.

He had grown a whole size taller, and his muscles were abnormally bulging all over his body.

The most unusual thing about this person was the long whip behind him that kept waving like tentacles!
The whip is blood red and made entirely of the flesh and blood of a martial artist. However, its texture does not look like flesh and blood. Instead, it looks more like a sharp, blood red blade!
To describe it more accurately, it looks more like something made of metal.

The blood-red whip reflected light under the lamp, and the cold glint it emitted when wielded was chilling.

The martial artist shakily stood up from the ground, covering his somewhat mutated face with one hand, his eyes peeking out from between his fingers, staring fiercely at Sophie and Li Qi in front of him.

"Damn it! You all deserve to die!! All...all the mechanics and mech pilots deserve to die!!!"

His mind went completely mad, and even though Sophie didn't use her emotional manipulation abilities to provoke his anger, the martial artist attacked the two of them like a madman.

The long whip moved nimbly, almost disappearing from sight.

Sophie managed to catch a glimpse of the whip with her own consciousness. She picked up Li Qi and moved around in the narrow space, her eyes fixed on the mutated martial artist.

"When did the technology of the Krend Empire... become... become so ugly?"

Sophie makes her judgment on the image of the martial artist at this moment.

She had never been to the Krend Empire, but as a princess, she had some general impressions of it.

Unlike the Empire and the Federation, the Krends have long revered flesh-and-blood technology.

They combine their consciousness with their flesh and blood, control various alien beasts created through gene editing, and fuse with these beasts to become beings similar to orcs.

This approach, though seemingly barbaric, did not initially become the mainstream method in the universe.

However, they actually managed to figure out a viable path!

Their 'mythical beasts' possess extraordinary talents, which will allow them to avoid many detours on the path to understanding the rules!
Furthermore, once the fusion is complete, they can traverse countless worlds with the fused beasts!

Many people still vividly remember the colossal star beasts on Academy Star, but those were merely the products of their failed fusion.

The true cosmic behemoth is based on human consciousness, allowing life, consciousness, and soul to merge with the cosmic behemoth.

Just like the relationship between mech pilots and mechs.

Despite the seemingly bloody descriptions, the combined appearance of these elements is actually not bloody or dirty at all.

As mentioned before, after merging, they are more like orcs.

They will exhibit characteristics of the fused alien beasts, which they can choose to display to the outside world or completely conceal and become indistinguishable from humans.

During battle, they can switch between human and beast forms, somewhat similar to druids in the magical world, although they only have one form.

Even the half-human, half-beast cultivators of the Krend Empire were admired by many nobles of the empire.

For some nobles, they had long since grown tired of ordinary humans and preferred those different races.

Half-human, half-beast, and even many hairy Krends, were the favorites of the nobles.

and so……

In any case, the members of the Martial Alliance should not have become like this after using Krend's technology.

However, the aura emanating from him clearly indicated that this was indeed a unique cultivation and fusion method of the Krend Empire.

In the midst of her quick movements, Sophie suddenly realized something: "...This operation against the Queen Mother shouldn't involve just one member of the Martial Alliance. What if everyone involved in this operation ended up like this..."

Hearing Sophie say this, Li Qi also felt that things might not be going well.

Everything that is happening now seems to be within the Queen's expectations.

But is the 'secret technique' that the Martial Alliance currently possesses also within the Empress's expectations?

What if the Martial Alliance possesses something that even the Empress doesn't know about...

His thoughts paused, and Li Qi immediately looked up at Sophie and asked:

"Sophie, can you handle him?"

"can."

"Okay, I'm going to the control room now to find a way to break the barrier sealing off the floating island and let the outside support in. You hold him off for me!"

"understand!"

Sophie gave a simple answer, then mobilized all the weapons she had and launched an attack on the martial artist.

Countless rays of light shot towards the martial artist, making the space even brighter with their colorful glow.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Li Qi ran towards the core of the main control room again.

Previously, Brina had secretly infiltrated this place and used her coordinate abilities to move all the staff here, along with the intruders, to another location.

Now Li Qi can only rely on himself to find a way to gain control of the floating city and open the outer protective barrier.

Scientific methods certainly cannot achieve this.

But from an alchemical perspective, perhaps another way can be found.

…… chaos.

Very messy.

too messy!
The area Zhao Dongxue could see was in complete chaos.

The Martial Alliance, the Revival Society, the Imperial Knights, the Floating City Guards, and the private guards of various nobles were all locked in a fierce battle in the sky above the Floating City!
Various kinds of light, energy, and attacks fly around in the sky, and people fall to their deaths from above at any time, but people are always there to fill the vacancies.

Zhao Dongxue didn't understand why things had suddenly turned out this way. She was currently just retreating to a safe place with the Federation ambassador who had come to visit the wedding.

"It's alright, this is just internal strife within the empire! As long as we evacuate to the embassy, ​​they won't do anything to us!"

The federal ambassador leading the group, who appeared to be around thirty years old, comforted the federal people behind him.

She was right.

The Revival Society is not attacking the floating islands under the banner of 'reviving the ancient empire' this time; they are now an ally of the empire's second prince.

In order to prevent the Second Prince from losing the support of his ally, the Federation, as long as the Federation does not take sides or participate in the battle, these Federation members will not be attacked by either side.

There's no need for the Federation to use internal strife against the Empire. If something happens to these people, even if they are ordinary individuals, the Federation will find an excuse to put pressure on the Empire.

This is probably something neither the Empress nor the Second Prince wanted to see.

But... not attacking them doesn't mean the aftermath of their fight won't affect them.

"Lady, watch out!!! Something has fallen!!"

During the evacuation, one of the mech pilots guarding the federal ambassador suddenly issued a warning.

Then a huge shadow covered everyone's heads. When they looked up, they saw an enormous warship, burning with flames, falling from the sky!
It is the flagship of a fleet owned by a mechanic!
The main ship was completely destroyed and fell downwards, signifying the demise of this mechanic!
The main ship falling from the sky attracted the attention of everyone on the ground.

The sky is the domain of those at the fifth rank and above, while on the ground, ordinary soldiers at the fourth rank are attacking or dodging each other.

Now that the main ship has fallen, almost everyone stopped what they were doing and looked up at the sky.

"Destroy it!! Otherwise, if it falls, we'll all die!!"

Someone shouted.

However, very few people chose to attack the crashed flagship.

Both sides had too many enemies here, and they dared not really deploy their full strength to destroy the falling giant warship.

They were worried about being attacked during this time.

But this hesitation brought the warship even closer to the ground.

The mech pilot responsible for protecting the ambassador finally couldn't help but try to make a move, but someone was faster than him!

Two beams of light, one black and one white, suddenly flew in from a distance.

The two beams of light were like sharp swords. As they crossed, they cut the falling warship in the sky into several pieces!

Moreover, at the point of impact, black and white flames instantly ignited. The speed at which the flames burned was unusual; they had only been there for a short while when they had already burned most of the unclaimed warship!

(They're Gemini!)
As Zhao Dongxue gazed at the sky, Qingxue, who saw the scene in the sky through her eyes, immediately spoke up.

"Twins?"

(One of the Legacy Mechs! Winter Snow, try to get close to them. I used to be closest to the Twins; perhaps you can seek their protection!)

"Are you sure? Can't we just stay here?"

Zhao Dongxue questioned Qingxue's choice.

Although this place is not safe, with her federal citizenship as a protective shield, at least Zhao Dongxue's life can be guaranteed.

But if she leaves from here and breaks away from the Federation forces, who knows if the Empress and the Second Prince's people will take action against her!

Now, after she and Qingxue merge, she has a decent level of seventh-tier strength.

But what does a seventh rank mean on today's battlefield!
Didn't you see that the eighth-tier beings are going on a killing spree at the top of the sky?
(I can sense the presence of Coordinates and Heart's Love! In such a short time, four Legacy Mechs have appeared, including mine. This is definitely not normal! If I'm not mistaken... you're more likely to get into trouble if you stay here!)

"My heart's desire..."

Zhao Dongxue didn't recognize the others, but the word "heart's desire" caught her attention.

Qingxue: ...

(...You really only listen to what you want to hear. Oh well, after all, he's the inheritor of Xinlian... Perhaps you have a heart full of love, so it's normal for you to be infatuated with him.)
"Anyway, if I run into the Gemini, I might also see Richie?"

(Maybe.)
The phrase "晴雪" is ambiguous.

She was also undecided, after all, the twins were actually not very compatible with Xinlian, or rather, Xinlian did not have a good relationship with most of the inherited mechs.

However, Qingxue did not tell Zhao Dongxue this.

At present, contacting other inherited mechs is the most important thing Zhao Dongxue needs to do. If Zhao Dongxue finds out about the 'grudge' between the twins and Xinlian and doesn't meet with Xinlian, then Qingxue will be the one who suffers.

Therefore, Qingxue ultimately chose to keep it a secret.

As for what will happen if it's exposed later...

Anyway, Zhao Dongxue is exceptionally easy to coax because she's love-struck; a few words of coaxing and she'll forget about it.

Even so, Qingxue felt somewhat sad when she thought about it.

How could my successor be such a person...?
