This is not mechanical ascension. - Chapter 298

But now, it seems that a third person has intervened. Although they don’t know what they are going to do, they should not deviate from their ultimate goal.

“On the contrary, it saved me a lot of energy.” His eyes flickered: “However, there is still an opportunity to detonate it.”

…………

“Why are the coordinates flying all over the sky?”

In the Coyle, Benny stared at the virtual screen in front of him, trembling all over, and his eyes were bloodshot: “There is also a detailed explanation of this core relic treasure. Who spread it out!?”

Ulrich glanced at him lightly, but no one paid him any attention.

“Qinglong, where is Your Excellency Qinglong? He hasn’t shown his face for more than ten days.” Benny looked around, as if he was crazy.

“Why did you call us here so urgently for this nonsense?” Sandro muttered dissatisfiedly: “If you want to know the answer, go find it yourself.”

“I…” Benny suppressed his face until his face flushed, and Monroe said calmly: “Your Excellency Qinglong will naturally show up when it’s time to show up, just wait patiently.”

“Wait…?” Benny’s heart twitched and he stared at Monroe, but he was helpless.

The origin of this guy who suddenly appeared is unknown. After Qinglong disappeared, this guy took charge of everything on the main ship.

As long as Cornette, the coward, has no objections, the three guys from Theo actually have no objections either.

He really couldn’t figure out what was going on and couldn’t leave. This feeling of depression almost drove him crazy.

“Old man, the core ruins are right in front of you. If there are any changes, we will know immediately. I see you are panicking.” Sandro sneered and was the first to leave.

Others also left one after another.

………

“Your Excellency, General, I have been in and out of the Red River Xingliu hundreds of times, and I am as familiar with this place as I am at home.”

On the deck of the dark golden Trident, a rickety old man with a beard got off the spaceship and stood shivering in front of Antonio.

Antonio, who looked majestic, looked at him, then looked at the men next to him, and said coldly: “Is this the way you said you can defeat the United Fleet?”

“Blackbeard!” his subordinates scolded hurriedly: “Stop being so pretentious and tell me your method quickly.”

Blackbeard nodded and said flatteringly: “Your Excellency, Admiral, since I was a child, I followed my father to make a living among the stars of the Red River. I have experienced no less than dozens of tidal periods…”

Just as he was talking, Blackbeard trembled and saw Antonio’s almost murderous gaze. He hurriedly stepped into the focus and said in a trembling voice: “I have a way to trigger the undercurrent of stars!”

“Huh?” Antonio looked slightly startled, looking Blackbeard up and down: “Star stream and undercurrent, just you?”

“Of course I don’t have this ability. I just need an extremely harsh environment to create an undercurrent of stars. If the environment allows, I can make it continue to expand and move in a specific direction.”

Antonio frowned slightly. The undertide of the star stream is an extremely dangerous disaster near the Red River star stream. It is a tide of dark energy flowing in the mezzanine space.

If the scale is large enough, it may indeed cause great damage to the immobile joint fleet, or at least create an opportunity for attack.

He still looked suspicious, but he might as well give it a try, “Okay, including me, the whole army will cooperate with you. If you succeed, you will gain tremendous wealth. If you fail, I will kill you.”

Blackbeard’s face turned pale, full of bitterness, “Yes…yes…”

…

“Yes, father…” Gabriel looked respectful and stood in front of the table. The smart terminal above reflected a black virtual screen. Only the white sound wave lines were undulating. His voice was low and mellow:

“For this kind of special talent, you must be tolerant and don’t care what he says. As long as the gene lock is engraved, it will be used by us. In order to take care of their self-esteem, it’s okay to say a few nice words.”

“You discovered him, and he will be used by you in the future…”

Gabriel’s expression was dark and unclear: “I will convey your intention to him. I believe he will be extremely honored to favor you.”

…

“drop–“

The blockade light changed from red to green. Li Ming unexpectedly raised his head and glanced at the virtual clock on the wall. It wasn’t time for free activities yet.

The cell door opened, and the soldier in charge of guarding looked in and said: “Your Excellency, His Highness Ford is here to visit the prison.”

“Fude?” Li Ming nodded thoughtfully.

When he went out, he saw Verdego standing not far away, wearing a decent military uniform, standing upright, with his hair slicked back.

There are seats in the common areas of this special confinement area.

“I didn’t expect that when you and I meet again, it will be like this.” Ford sighed after sitting down.

“How about it? How do you feel when you see me become a prisoner?” Li Ming smiled.

“I don’t have any thoughts.” Ford smiled bitterly, scratched his hair, and couldn’t help but ask: “How did you get caught, so carelessly.”

“I’m not omnipotent. Isn’t it normal to be caught?” Li Ming shrugged.

Ford was speechless and sighed: “Actually, it doesn’t matter. With your terrifying development potential, even if you are caught, no one will do anything to you.”

“What do you think? The Bloody Duke is very interested in you. I heard that if he wasn’t afraid that you would be kidnapped by Qinglong, he would send you out immediately.”

Li Ming was slightly surprised, and he really underestimated the impact of this development potential.

Level forty-six was a level he specifically chose to meet his own development progress.

Fortunately it wasn’t higher, otherwise instead of sending the combined fleet, he would have been sent directly to the Star Abyss Empire.

“But Gabriel has a lot of resentment towards you, or more precisely, towards your teacher. He has been holding a grudge against you since he was fooled by your teacher last time.” Ford carefully reminded:

“It is said that Gabriel was going to search your memory directly, but your development potential was too scary, and Ronan stopped him, so he had to give up.”

“Earlier, Asmara specially opened a communication line for Gabriel. It was probably because his father had an order. I guess it has something to do with you.”

“He might come to you and tell you the price, and he might also squeeze you. Don’t pay attention to him. Be patient and wait until you see the Bloodthirsty Duke.”

Li Ming looked Ford up and down and shook his head and said, “If you are too attentive, you are either a traitor or a thief.”

Ford’s face suddenly became embarrassed, and he said embarrassedly, “We are old friends too. I am just caring about you.”

“Of course, if you have a chance in the future, Take care of me, that would be great.”

Li Ming laughed, meaning inexplicably: “Are you so sure that I will submit to the Bloodthirsty Duke?”

“Do you… have any other choice?” Ford was shocked and couldn’t help but advised: “Brother, don’t be stupid, don’t waste such a high development potential.”

“Haha…” Li Ming shook his head and asked: “How is the core ruins?”

“You still care about this?” Ford looked surprised and said speechlessly: “It has been initially materialized and is in the process of finishing work. It should be a few days.”

Li Ming thought for a while, then stood up and said: “Okay, thank you for your reminder.”

Ford hesitated to speak, looking at Li Ming’s back, and added: “That’s the Bloodthirsty Duke, it’s not shameful.”

No response was received, because Li Ming had turned around and walked into the prison cabin, and Ford shook his head helplessly.

He knew Li Ming a little bit. He seemed to be careless, but he had a strong sense of pride, but he didn’t show it very much.

I came here specially because I was afraid that he would be provoked by Gabriel who was venting his grievances and suffer in vain.

Sure enough, Gabriel came less than two hours later.

This time, Li Ming did not go out, but just sat on the bed casually.

In the narrow cell, Gabriel stood expressionlessly in the open space, followed by his personal bodyguard Ronan.

“How do you feel?” His voice was flat.

“It’s okay, but the suppressor on my body is not very comfortable.” Li Ming said casually.

Seeing the other party like this, Gabriel didn’t know why he thought of Qinglong again, and suddenly a nameless anger rose. He didn’t want to pretend to be flattering, and said coldly:

“My father asked me to tell you that as long as you are willing to engrave the gene lock and work for him, he can give you everything you want.”

“Everything you want?” Li Ming couldn’t help grinning, “Tsk tsk…”

Seeing his nonchalant look, Gabriel became more and more dissatisfied. His father was the Grand Duke of the Empire, a big man that countless people wanted to see but couldn’t.

He said coldly: “Isn’t this your purpose? You are fearless when you are caught. You also know how valuable you are.”

“Why pretend to be reserved now? I might as well tell you that your whereabouts were leaked by Connit. The consequences of your teacher’s mess fell on you.”

Gabriel’s eyes were cold: “Whether you agree or not, you will eventually be engraved with a gene lock, which is jokingly called a “dog chain”. You have no choice.”

Li Ming stared at him and suddenly asked: “How old are you?”

Gabriel frowned, his eyes became colder, and Ronan whispered: “Your Highness”.

Gabriel snorted coldly, “I don’t know what it means.”

He didn’t wait for Li Ming’s answer, and left after saying these words. After the cell door was closed, Ronan said hesitantly:

“Your Highness, your attitude is too intense.”

“I have read his information and psychological profile. He has arrogance in his heart and needs to be polished away.” Gabriel was expressionless.

Ronan sighed helplessly.

………

Just five days later, countless warships of various types gathered outside the reconnaissance area of ​​the joint fleet. They all looked very old and uneven, and some of the warships even had traces of repairs on their hulls.

“It’s true what you said. It takes a lot of energy to kill all these guys.” Several commanders in the Ring Star Crown Guard chatted casually.

This situation has lasted for several days, and in the next period of time, it can be foreseen that more fleets will gather.

“I heard that the core ruins are almost ready. If it’s delayed, some big guys may come from far away.”

“Not sure, we just follow orders…Huh?” A human commander was suddenly surprised, and he pointed to the fleet that suddenly scattered on the screen.

“What’s wrong with them?” He asked subconsciously, and before he finished speaking, a shrill alarm suddenly sounded in the entire command room.

“Warning, detected super-large-scale energy tidal fluctuations, and interlayer energy convergence, the model is consistent, suspected to be a stellar dark tide, please avoid it as soon as possible!”

The commanders looked at each other, their faces suddenly became extremely horrified, stellar dark tide! ?

After receiving the news, Asmara had already rushed over urgently, and all the senior executives gathered in the command room. Now they had no time to care about why there was such a large stellar dark tide rushing towards them.

The virtual screens went out one by one, and various reports continued: “The outer probe has been destroyed, and the estimated collision time is thirty-four minutes.”

As soon as the voice fell, there was a sound of gasps, and their probes had spread to three days outside the range.

Even if the jump voyage takes three days, this star stream dark tide can roll in in thirty minutes, which is really terrible.

Asmara looked solemn and responded quickly, saying in a deep voice: “In the next thirty minutes, shrink the formation with all your strength, and all the joint shield generators will operate at full power.”

“All bombers and main ship gun turrets are fully charged, aiming at the direction of the star stream dark tide to carry out the first wave of reduction,”

“In addition, with the ring star guard as the center, carry out multi-layer superposition protection!”

No one dared to neglect it, sweating profusely, and the order was passed down layer by layer, and the loose joint fleet formation began to shrink rapidly.

Time passed by minute by minute, and Asmara stood at the porthole with a gloomy face, but she was in doubt.

She was worried not only about the star stream dark tide, but also about what might happen next.

The dark starry sky was filled with amazing energy reactions, like a bugged area, flickering non-stop.

In the visualized energy spectrum, it was like an overwhelming wave, surging at a seemingly slow but actually extremely fast speed.

The dilapidated warships along the way were trying their best to avoid it, but in the face of this interstellar natural disaster, everything seemed so powerless, and they were quietly involved in it without even a spark.

In the command room, everyone held their breath and waited attentively.

“It has entered the scheduled range, ready to bomb!”

“3, 2, 1!”

Boom!

The fully charged turrets gushed out blazing beams of light, and the colorful energy torrent roared out. The dazzling light illuminated the entire area, and under the attention of everyone, it rushed into the dark wave.

Boom!

Everyone was imagining the sound, and the space was rippling with water-like patterns, the void was distorted, and within the coverage area, even the stars in the distance disappeared in an instant.

This is the closed state formed after the space was distorted to the limit, the inside and the outside were isolated, and even the light was no exception. Continuous explosions can be seen in extremely far places.

Immediately afterwards, as if ignited, the blue fire line spread from the impact point in all directions, as if lifting an endless and magnificent sky, and the entire joint fleet seemed insignificant in front of it.

The interlayer energy was detonated and turned into a substantial torrent, which seemed terrible, but its power was reduced.

“Impact is coming!”

The blue sky, like a flame, collided with the heavy energy barrier, and instantly aroused a violent chain reaction, with continuous ripples.

All the shield nodes were running at full power, humming non-stop.

“Drip–“

The lights flickered, the hull was shaking violently, and the command room was silent. The energy magnetic field attached to the star stream dark tide made all the detection equipment ineffective, and everyone’s palms were sweating.

In the special detention area, Li Ming looked up, looking at the flashing lights, and his heart was surging, “Is it finally starting?”
