Mecha Era, Punch the Stars

Li Yi laughed and said, "It's alright. My physical body and soul have both improved somewhat, but that's about it."

"Really?"

Tan Yaozu was suspicious.

Li Yi shrugged and said, "There's no need to fool you, Brother Tan."

In fact, he did hide some things.

The main concern was that Tan Yaozu might yell and scream again, causing a heart attack.

He hadn't calculated the pure physical strength in detail yet, but he estimated that it should be able to easily defeat Zhao He.

Li Yi had previously learned that Qin Longchuan, Lin Jianlong, and Duanmu Xiong, before advancing to demigod level, all possessed three supreme elemental cores and were very powerful.

In other words, it's equivalent to condensing nine ordinary divine elemental cores and then undergoing three powerful amplifications.

Those like Zhao He have condensed 2.2 supreme elemental cores, equivalent to 7 divine elemental cores, and have undergone two supreme amplifications.

Zhang Shengfeng's strength is also in this range, slightly stronger than Zhao He, equivalent to 8 divine elemental cores, having only undergone two supreme amplifications.

The difference in strength among the strongest individuals is mainly due to the difference in their power amplification.

Every three divine elemental cores combined into one supreme elemental core will generate a massive increase.

Judging from actual combat performance, Qin Longchuan before advancing to demigod level could easily defeat at least five Zhao Hes or three Zhang Shengfengs.

The increase in this is greater than simply accumulating three times the amount of divine genes.

Li Yi currently possesses roughly the same number of divine genes as 4.5 cores, with two Thor sequences, one Hades sequence, and one Longevity sequence at full capacity. However, the increase in the total amount of divine genes in his physical body is far less than the increase of the strongest individuals.

If it weren't for his various body-strengthening techniques and fighting skills that reached the divine realm, he wouldn't currently possess the strength to surpass Zhao He and his group.

At the very least, the total amount of divinity, after being amplified by the divinity of the Prison Suppression, exceeded the ninth level of the Heavenly Realm, reaching a level comparable to the strongest.

Fortunately, his playstyle has never required a large amount of divine power.

As a master of skill, he always uses the technique of using minimal force to achieve maximum effect.

Seeing Li Yi's appearance, Tan Yaozu guessed that Li Yi must be holding back.

But since it wasn't actually said, I don't plan to ask any further questions.

This way, I can save face for myself.

After thinking for a moment, he changed the subject:

"Speaking of which, Chief of Staff Lin's appearance this time was a bit strange."

"Moreover, he said he would bring 'Flame' back, but we haven't seen her yet. It's really strange."

Upon hearing this, Li Yi seemed to be deep in thought and said:

"This may also be related to his last-minute meeting with us. After all, according to the original plan, we should be heading to the border planet now."

As they spoke, the two accelerated, and divine flames erupted from their bodies.

call out! ! !
Three minutes later, the two appeared in the airspace above the helipad on the other side of the lunar fortress.

Lin Jianlong was seen with his back turned, gazing at the Earth, his figure perpendicular to the edge of the planet.

"Chief Lin, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."

The two landed quickly.

Besides Lin Jianlong, there was another extremely powerful person outside the helipad, none other than Lin Jianlong's deputy, Xiao Pingchuan.

Li Yi had assumed that Xiao Pingchuan had already set off for the border star, but he was surprised to find that Xiao Pingchuan was still there.

He noticed that Xiao Pingchuan's expression was somewhat solemn.

Lin Jianlong turned around and nodded slightly to Li Yi and Tan Yaozu.

"The Moon Fortress's supreme-level combat force is all here? Then I'll get straight to the point."

“Originally, the three of you each had your own plans, but due to the suddenness of the event, I need to allocate several top-tier combatants to assist you.”

"So your plans will be temporarily handled by others. The four of us will be carrying out another top-secret mission."

"Now, I'll give you ten minutes to settle your affairs. Once that's done, we'll set off immediately."

To make arrangements for his final affairs?

Li Yi and Tan Yaozu exchanged a glance, both somewhat surprised. Was this choice of words inappropriate?

Lin Jianlong laughed:
"Don't worry too much. Since our mission will take a long time, we may not be able to contact our family and friends for a considerable period of time. So you'd better make sure to explain this to them so they don't worry."

After thinking for a moment, Tan Yaozu spoke:

"Excuse me, what exactly is this mission? We're supposed to be in the decision-making level; surely we should be able to get some information at all?"

Lin Jianlong nodded:
"Of course, we'll explain the mission details to you later. But time is limited right now, and we need to set off as soon as possible, so it would be best if you finished explaining the mission to your friends and family within the next ten minutes."

"Don't worry, I have been in charge of the Federation's military affairs for many years, so I'm not lacking in credibility."

Li Yi quietly activated his micro-electric properties, carefully sensing Lin Jianlong's brainwave activity.

However, Lin Jianlong's strength was not weak after all, and his soul strength was very high. Unlike before when he faced the Pu Ying Supreme Avatar, he was not in a captured state.

Therefore, after a hasty assessment, Li Yi could only confirm that Lin Jianlong was not lying.

After a moment's thought, Li Yi spoke:

"I don't need to spend time explaining to some friends, Chief of Staff Lin, just say it directly."

Seeing this, Tam Yiu-cho also said:
"I don't need to go through all that trouble, just leaving a text message will do."

Lin Jianlong chuckled:
"Alright, let's talk as we walk. Follow me."

With that, he leaped into the air and flew towards the adjacent starship passageway.

"The task is simple, but the timeframe will indeed be a bit long."

"According to intelligence, three powerful members of the Stellar Clan at the level of Branch Secretary have found some clues to decipher the code and are preparing to go to the Ruins of Time at the end of the Stardust Corridor to find the code."

"Once they find the decipherable code, they can directly activate the Time Book's function, anchor the fate of our supreme-level combat force on the Time Book, and annihilate them directly."

"Even the high-level combatants they have on record cannot escape it."

"Now I will send you detailed information about these three branch-level powerhouses. We can conduct a combat simulation inside the starship later."

"Also, there's another secret. To prevent leaks, let's talk about it after we set off."

Xiao Pingchuan didn't say anything and followed them directly.

Li Yi and Tan Yaozu exchanged a glance.

The two exchanged a quick glance, and Li Yi gave Tan Yaozu a reassuring look, confirming that Lin Jianlong hadn't lied.

Since Lin Jianlong didn't lie, we can temporarily rule out the possibility that Lin Jianlong is the one with the problem.

In other words, the Stellar Clan's desperate attempt to undermine their operations was indeed dangerous and could very well lead to the failure of their long-planned blitzkrieg.

But this is not the greatest danger. The greatest danger lies in the fact that if the three powerful members of the Stellar Clan at the level of a branch official succeed in their plan, they may very well perish inexplicably.

Tan Yaozu immediately spoke up:

"I've already left my message, I can set off now."

With that, he leaped up and landed behind Xiao Pingchuan.

Li Yi followed nimbly.

"Commander Lin, will we miss the final battle on this mission?"

Li Yi asked.

"The final battle?"

Lin Jianlong smiled:

"I'm afraid our mission is the key to the final outcome of this battle."

"Three experts at the level of Time Book, plus the Time Book they each carry, their combined strength is probably not enough for us to win with our current lineup."

"Now we just have to hope that Lao Lu, Lao Zhang, and Yan will be able to wake up smoothly."

Tan Yaozu's heart skipped a beat, and he asked:

"Are Lao Lu, Lao Zhang, and Yan all inside this starship? And what's the situation regarding Yan's successful awakening?"

Lin Jianlong: "Yan's situation is a bit complicated." (End of Chapter)
