This is not mechanical ascension. - Chapter 301

“The Blood-piercing Grand Duke will not let you go, and the Xingyuan Empire will not let you go!”

Ronan looked at Li Ming who was approaching, and roared at the top of his lungs.

Since the other party dared to kill Gabriel, he was just a bonus.

With one punch, Ronan’s head was shattered like a gourd, and blood gushed out. His body strength was not as good as Gabriel’s. He lost his life after just a twitch.

After opening Ronan’s chest, he saw the unfolded base of the nano-mech as expected, and a hexagonal metal block was attached to his chest.

With a slight touch, there was no prompt, and it was already broken beyond recognition, and could only be recycled as raw materials.

In turn, Li Ming picked at Gabriel’s body for a while, and the nano-armor on the other party was still intact.

[Shadow Guard Flow Armor–A Level]

Control requires 4 million, and the ability is [Quick Dressing]. For him, it is basically useless and is also used as raw materials.

“Hmm?” But soon, his eyes lit up and he touched a good thing.

[Subspace Folding Pendant – Class A]

It looks similar to the one on Ixus, and even its ability is [Space Flash], but this one requires nine million metal energies to control.

“It should be caused by the internal size. The internal space of this thing should be much larger than that of Ixus.” Li Ming muttered. He didn’t know what was inside, and he didn’t have time to study it carefully for the time being, so he simply put it in his arms first.

After getting up, his peripheral vision was shining, and he subconsciously glanced at the porthole, and his expression couldn’t help but pause.

The battle with Ronan was delayed for only ten minutes in total, but new changes appeared on the battlefield.

In the desolate starry sky, there were more streams of light crisscrossing and shuttling through the battlefield. Each stream of light was an A-level life form.

The battleship, which was temporarily without the protection of the energy barrier, was torn apart like tofu, and then exploded, and the entire battlefield was full of exploding fireworks.

Not only that, several energy torrents attacked from all directions and blasted into the camp of the combined fleet, and a trident-like warship appeared at the border of the battlefield.

“Judgment?” Li Ming looked at the fleets that suddenly appeared nearby and couldn’t help but be surprised.

Although he didn’t know what happened before, just looking at the situation in front of him, the general named Antonio was obviously well prepared and launched an attack at the first time during the empty period of the combined fleet.

And this really caused heavy losses to the combined fleet. Many warships that had not yet completed the restart exploded on the spot, and the flames of the explosion formed a line.

And the combined fleet did not sit and wait for death. Those patrolling A-level life forms had found their respective opponents.

But the opponent obviously had no intention of continuing to fight, but just wanted to cause damage. Even if they fought, they chose to be near the warships of the combined fleet.

A slightly dissipated energy fluctuation can cause great damage to the warship. Once the cabin leaks in many places, the warship basically loses its combat capability.

“Tsk, the judge should not be underestimated.” Li Ming couldn’t help but sigh.

Last time, the combined fleet caught them by surprise in an ambush, but this time they recovered.

After a quick look, he took out another emp bomb from the folding space and threw it on the spot, and the light that had just been lit went out again.

With a general understanding of the situation, Li Ming prepared to continue to the location of the core ruins.

But just as he was about to leave, he saw a flowing shadow quickly flying out from the upper right area.

“Asmara?” He paused slightly, and couldn’t help but arouse some interest: “What does she want to do?”

Li Ming stared at the figure, only to see that Asmara did not directly join the battlefield, but stopped not far in front of the Ring Star Crown Guard.

Immediately afterwards, a bright light shone in her hand, and she actually held up a metal cube and hung it above her head.

“That is, the Subspace Folding Fortress?” Li Ming stood in front of the porthole, squinting his eyes, looking at the cube above Asmara’s head, and had already guessed it.

The unstable space ripples spread in all directions with it as the center, and the metal structure on the surface kept changing, and then expanded rapidly.

Then, a line of blazing energy light first broke through the starry sky, straight across the camps of the Judge and the Combined Fleet, and divided the two sides of the exchange of fire into two parts at once.

The actions of both sides slowed down at the same time. The Combined Fleet received the order, while the Judge Fleet was gradually losing control of the warships.

The invisible stance ripples were spreading and wandering. At first, they were like sporadic sound waves, and then they turned into a frenzied invisible tsunami. After just ten seconds, they covered the entire battlefield.

And the various types of energy that escaped in the battlefield gradually stagnated under this stance ripple, turning into large halos of different sizes, the smallest of which was only a few stars.

The huge mountain continent that seemed to be whistling past was the main gun-level attack.

Then, as if it had suffered an invisible repulsion, the dissipated energy escaped from the battlefield at the same time, sweeping everything, magnificent and weird.

At the same time, the folding fortress was about to unfold, like a dazzling new star, emerging at a speed visible to the naked eye.

It was a square with sharp edges and corners, and the metal shell was full of dense grooves. From the perspective of the universe, it seemed that its size could not be felt.

But even the ring-shaped crown guard was only one-tenth of it.

Li Ming stared at this thing, and as the subspace folding fortress quickly took shape and covered the invisible field, the entire battlefield had fallen into a strange state of silence.

All ships in the Adjudicator fleet were shutting down rapidly, although their engines were still working hard to spew out flames and their main guns still flickered with intermittent charging light.

However, they were unable to take another step forward. Under the influence of the invisible force field, the shields of all battleships quickly dimmed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Just a few minutes later, except for the main ship, the shields of all the battleships in the Arbiter fleet were extinguished simultaneously.

Immediately afterwards, they all stopped helplessly, like a piece of ruins, no different from the combined fleet, and fell into silence.

“What kind of force field is this?” Li Ming’s breathing was slightly stagnant. This scene, which seemed to have pressed the pause button, made him think of time for the first time, but he later denied it.

This folding fortress may not have been built by the Etlan civilization itself. It cannot even deal with space, let alone time.

Moreover, he can still move independently now. He tried a little and didn’t feel any obstruction.

His heart moved slightly, and the red arc on his fingertips flashed away, emitting green smoke, but that was all.

“Energy is silent?” Li Ming figured it out. This was a strange scene, and the battlefield fell into silence again.

This energy silence force field obviously does not distinguish between friend and foe. The United Fleet was also affected, but it itself is still brilliant.

Moreover, on one of the metal surfaces, a golden arc appeared in the huge, black hole-like turbine muzzle.

Now it is the only one that can move. Even if the combined fleet cannot attack, it can definitely destroy it.

But then, even though they were in a state of suppression, the battleships of the Adjudicator fleet started up again. I don’t know what method was used.

Even the extinguished energy shields on the spaceships were reactivated. These battleships were recharged, their weapon systems surging with black-red energy, neatly changing direction, their engines blazing, and they quickly fled the battlefield.

But it was obviously overloaded, and bright sparks were bursting out from all the Arbiter battleships. The armor plates were twisted like burned plastic, exposing the smoke-emitting mechanical equipment underneath.

The more fragile warships suddenly exploded into large fireballs before they even took two steps, while the large warships swayed left and right amid the continuous explosions and reluctantly evacuated.

The giant cannon of the Folding Fortress took a terrifyingly long time to charge, only one-third of it until now. Facing the escaping Judge, it was quickly extinguished.

It actually directly determined the outcome of the battle.

Li Ming’s eyes flickered, this was the trump card of the Etlan civilization to suppress the Silver Star Cluster.

“If the judge’s civilization has no backup, it seems to have failed again.” Li Ming pondered, and did not continue to look, but decisively turned around and went deeper.

His movements were much faster, but after five or six minutes, he passed through the blocked metal gates and stopped in front of a thick metal wall.

The entrance is sealed, and two lines of soldiers are guarding it cautiously.

“The core ruins should be at the back.”

The surrounding lights flickered again, and Asmara should have closed the energy silence field of the Folding Fortress.

Li Ming took out another EMP bomb. After it took effect, the surroundings fell into darkness again. He put the bomb away again, and then his body suddenly shrank, his clothes fell to the ground, and quickly disappeared.

Bang!

Suddenly there was a loud noise from behind. Eight people in two rows turned around at the same time, looking shocked. They saw that the thick metal door opened a long and narrow gap.

Other than that, no abnormalities were found.

“This…” They looked tense, looked at each other, and checked carefully, but found no clues.

“Maybe it was an accident due to the battleship downtime, just a small gap.” Someone muttered.

Others couldn’t help but nod. I don’t know what happened today. The system seemed to be extremely unstable and had to be restarted many times.

The shrunken Li Ming had already gotten in. In front of him was the silver-white, diamond-shaped core ruins.

There seemed to be a slit in the central part, which looked like a black wall with golden symbols all over it.

He is very familiar with this material, black gold source stone, which contains a large amount of metal materials.

In all directions of this core ruins, there are a total of sixteen strange-shaped instruments, extending out slender metal needles that are several meters long.

The direction they are looking at should be pointing towards the core ruins, but they are all extinguished now.

The core ruins are covered with a layer of silver-white ripples that are constantly surging, like water waves, and seem to be some kind of defense mechanism.

A large hole had originally been torn open, but now that the surrounding instruments have stopped functioning, it is gradually healing, and the speed is not slow, and it seems that it will be completely closed soon.

“Although I don’t know what it is, it’s best not to let it heal well.” Li Ming muttered, switching to the [Subspace Folding Ring], and in a few flashes, he had already rushed in.

Falling into the diamond-shaped gap, everything around him seemed so huge. Along the black wall, he found what looked like an entrance.

Behind a flashing crystal is a closed door. Then, in the control column, you find the [Tanlomon Sublimator] that has been repaired long ago, and consume it directly.

Suddenly, an indescribable feeling rose in his body, and his heart beat violently.

He adjusted slightly, breathed a long sigh of relief, and placed his palms against the crystal.

In an instant, the crystal lit up with a dazzling light, as if it was being verified, and soon a soft female voice sounded: “Verification passed, entry allowed.”

Then, the black wall behind the crystal opened silently.

Seeing this, Li Ming couldn’t help but pull open the corners of his mouth, and then it became bigger and bigger. He looked back and said, “You guys take your time, I’ll go in first.”

………

At the same time, in the Coyle, everyone looked at the folding fortress that had been fully unfolded on the screen, and the sense of oppression came through the screen.

Sandro’s throat rolled, and he trembled and said, “The timing that Qinglong mentioned, it won’t be this kind of timing.”

Ulrich clenched his fists, loosened them, and clenched them again.

Qinglong didn’t tell them too much when he left, except for those things they needed to cooperate with, just saying that when the time came, they needed to get close to the joint fleet.

He never thought that it would be this kind of timing.

The weird, inexplicable huge star stream dark tide coming towards the joint fleet was enough to surprise people.

What’s more shocking is that Qinglong seemed to have thought of such a scene a long time ago and told them more than ten days ago.

Monroe’s eyes were indifferent, “No matter if it’s the time he said, we have to go and take a look.”

“Are we really going?” Sandro couldn’t help but said, “I think the dogs over there are going to have their brains blown out, there are thirty A-level life forms in total.”

“You don’t want to go?” Monroe looked over, and Sandro immediately said embarrassedly, “It’s not that I don’t want to…”

“Even if we sail at full power, it will take at least more than thirty hours to reach the location of the joint fleet.” Cornett suddenly said, “If you want to go, decide as soon as possible.”

“Go and take a look…” A voice suddenly sounded in the corner, it was An Ye.

This big man had a blank expression on his face, and there were only two or three days left before the deadline given to him by Qinglong.

He also wanted to see what Qinglong was doing.

Everyone stopped talking, and cold sweat appeared on their palms unconsciously.

…

“Energy system activated, power supply rate 85%, 86%”

“Joint communication system online, channel allocation in progress…”

“System restart completed…Self-check completed, multiple cabin internal damage found, monitoring system damaged…”

The light finally lit up in the command room of the Ring Crown Guard, and Asmara walked back from the torn metal door with a gloomy look. When she left the command room before, she used violent methods.

“Damage assessment in progress…”

“23% of warships were damaged, 13% of warships were damaged, and the losses of various warships are being summarized…”

“Commander, the Judge Fleet ambushed in advance. Before the Star Stream Wave attacked, they had already estimated it and even completed the ambush.”

The commanders reported quickly, with a solemn look: “We suspect that the Star Stream Dark Tide was created by the Judge Fleet.”

“We’d better shrink the front again. In addition, many Predator warships are on the way, and they will arrive within one day at the fastest.”

Bad news, one after another, after this series of offensives, the good situation was lost.
