This Is Truly Not Mechanical Ascension

Upon opening his eyes, Li Ming found himself in a turbulent interstellar era. Countless civilizations wielded their hunting rifles, eyeing everything in the universe with predatory gazes, and his m...

The tightly fitted mecha was opened from the lower chest, and Li Ming fell out of it, lying on his back on the ground, gasping for breath.

The entire right arm seemed to have turned into charcoal, with cracks appearing one after another, revealing the scarlet flesh and blood inside.

The 42 times thunder element blessing was too strong, his body strength could not keep up, and he almost turned himself into charcoal.

The plasma swords were all damaged to some extent, and the ion generators in them were obviously overloaded and were still emitting sparks.

"Are you...are you...ok?" Ford dragged his body and came over carefully.

Li Ming, who was lying on the ground, glanced at him and said nothing.

"We are still alive..." Ford felt like he was falling into a virtual scene, and then stumbled and fell beside Li Ming.

"If you don't want to live, there's a gun over there." Li Ming took a breath and got up.

The noise he just made was quite loud, and he didn't know if anyone outside had noticed it. He had to take advantage of the chaos to catch some fish while no one was around.

There was less than 800,000 metal energy left in his body. He found the remaining piece of black metal from last time, but even after all the metal energy was extracted, there was less than 900,000.

At present, it is only enough to meet the needs of the [Tanlomon Biological Sublimator], so we can only keep the [Genetic Isomorphic Evolution Theory] for the time being.

It is normal to lose things during a torch attack. This is the best opportunity.

But no one escaped the torch after all... Well, I was the last eyewitness to experience it, so I can say whatever I want.

That Ford... Li Ming's eyes flickered.

Ford grimaced. The situation was critical before and he didn't pay much attention to the injuries on his body. Now that he realized it, severe pain swept from all over his body.

However, he still felt fortunate to have survived the disaster.

Li Ming… He muttered to himself, the scenes that just happened flashed through his mind, and he couldn't help but marvel at it.

This person is truly unfathomable, using all sorts of methods, and in the end he even killed a Fireworks Apostle.

However, he is only a D-level life form on the surface, and he probably has many secrets.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but have more thoughts in his mind. Just as he turned around and hadn't spoken yet, he felt a chill on his neck and his face stiffened.

At some point, Li Ming had already placed the plasma sword on his neck. Although there was no plasma, Ford had no doubt that the other party could kill him.

"You...what are you doing..." Ford was confused. He forced a smile and tried to move his butt back.

"Your Highness." Li Ming's eyes were dim. "Let's have a conversation."

"What do you mean?" Ford was puzzled and said carefully, "We are close friends who have experienced life and death crises. There is no need to treat me like this."

Li Ming said sadly, "Yes, but just now, when I was in a life-or-death crisis, I said something like joining the Torch Organization."

"A delaying tactic, that's a delaying tactic, I understand." Ford said loudly, "You can't possibly have such thoughts."

"You understand me." Li Ming smiled, but then said, "But, it is a hidden danger after all."

"Let's be frank. Your father might be interested in both me and my teacher. So, this small hidden danger has become a big one."

Li Ming took a step forward and said, "I like to plan ahead."

Ford's pupils contracted, and he said hurriedly: "You killed me, and the loss outweighs the gain. Only you survived, and this matter is even more inexplicable."

"If I die here, the consequences will be completely different. You can't just say a few words to get rid of it. The Itlan civilization will definitely investigate thoroughly, and my father will never let it go."

"There's really no need to do this!" He said earnestly. Torch had survived the life-and-death crisis, and he didn't want to die at Li Ming's hands.

"So what you mean is that there are dead ends both ahead and behind." Li Ming frowned.

"No, it's not a dead end." Ford racked his brains. He didn't dare to bet that Li Ming would not kill him.

He shouted, "Handle! You think I have your handle, so I'll take it out too and we can exchange it, isn't that all?"

"Good idea." Li Ming nodded thoughtfully, and then heard Ford say with difficulty: "I once accidentally killed a man. His name was Bellas, one of my men. That day..."

"Stop, stop, stop!" Li Ming interrupted with a frown, "Bellas... are you sure? What kind of handle is this?"

"Who cares? You're the son of Prince Baijan, a member of the Itran royal family. Let alone accidentally killing someone, even if you did it on purpose, what's the big deal?"

Ford was choked and speechless, and then he heard Li Ming helplessly say, "Your Highness, I sincerely want to save your life, but you are playing tricks on me."

"Then what do you want?" Ford held his breath in his heart. He was completely an innocent person implicated in today's incident.

"How about this." Li Ming pondered for a moment and said, "How about this? Read the Torch Organization's declaration and say that you sincerely want to join the Torch Organization. I'll record a video for you."

"Impossible!" Ford said firmly.

"Okay then." Li Ming raised his hand.

"Wait, wait..." Ford cursed in his heart, "This request is too much. If it is accidentally leaked, I will be dead."

"No, no, you won't die." Li Ming shook his head and analyzed sincerely: "If this video is leaked, the Yitlan royal family will immediately declare it a forgery."

"With current technology, it's easy to tell if something is forged..."

"That's not important." Li Ming interrupted again: "At least in the Silver Star Cluster, if the Etruscan civilization says it's a forgery, then it's a forgery."

"Then, the Yitlan royal family will completely hide you and won't kill you. You can continue to wield your power in peace, but you will lose all your status and power."

Ford took a deep breath, looking surprised. He rehearsed Li Ming's statement and found that it was very likely to be the case.

The royal family will definitely block this news. After all, it is a scandal. They will not kill him. His father will protect him.

At the same time, the royal family would cut off his hopes of gaining any status and power.

But what's the difference between this and killing him?

"The risk is too great." Ford panted. "With your development potential, even if this matter gets leaked, it won't cost you your life..."

Having said that, he paused. Isn't this a confrontation? Each of them has a handle that will cause heavy losses to the other, but it won't be fatal.

grass!

"No, this matter has no impact on you. This is just a pretense. Someone will speak for you. Those upper-class people are not fools." Ford gradually realized, "You are not concerned about this matter, you want to control me!"

Li Ming's mouth curled up, a smile that was not a smile. "Tsk, I've been discovered. So, Your Highness, what is your choice?"

"If you kill me..." Ford also began to rehearse, "You are the only survivor at the scene. Even if you collude with other people in the lab to give your testimony, my father will never believe it."

"He will come to Jingnan Star in person and investigate this matter thoroughly at all costs, even using psychics."

"Your development potential is astonishing. Your memory will be resistant to direct searches. You won't be the first target, but the other staff members in the lab don't have much status."

"They will search your memory one by one to verify what you said, and eventually target you."

"That's right." Li Ming applauded him, and then continued, "But don't worry, I will completely stay away from Jingnan Star before that Prince Baijian comes."

"You..." Ford's face changed slightly, and he suddenly realized that he had overlooked one thing. Li Ming did not have too many ties. His parents were dead and he could leave at any time.

"If you leave, what will happen to the others? Wu Yanqing, Luo Chuan, your friends, and even your elders on Silver-Ash Star." Ford said in a deep voice.

Li Ming's eyes were dim, as if he was thinking.

Ford heaved a sigh of relief and was about to pursue the victory when he heard Li Ming's cold voice:

"If Prince Baijan really did that, then my only goal for the rest of my life would be to assassinate all related bloodlines of the Yitlan royal family."

"You also know that my development potential is enough to support me to become an A-level life form. I can use a few years to drift to another star cluster. Once I become an A-level life form, it will be the end of the Itlan royal family."

Ford felt a chill run down his spine, and a chill ran up his forehead. He roared and cursed in his heart.

Doesn’t this bastard have any weaknesses in his character?

"But... this is irreversible. Doesn't your conscience..." Ford didn't know what to say.

"Yes, it's irreversible, but to your disappointment, I won't suffer the condemnation of my conscience, because I will put all the blame on Prince Baijan and you!" Li Ming's eyes were dark, like a black hole: "I will hate you, why didn't you shoot this damn video!"

"You're f*cking sick!" Ford couldn't help himself. He had never seen such a shameless person before. He pointed at Li Ming and yelled, "What does this have to do with me? This is all because of your own selfishness!"

Li Ming smiled and said, "If this scenario continues, I will definitely feel pain. In order to prevent this pain from corroding my heart, I must divert the conflict."

"You..." Ford's body trembled, and then he retreated dejectedly. The game with Li Ming ended with his complete defeat.

There's absolutely no way to break through the defense.

He didn't know whether what Li Ming acted like was true or not, if it was false then so be it.

But if it is true, this perverted mentality, coupled with its own development potential, will create a terrible enemy for the Itlan civilization.

It's just a video. What if he really caused countless casualties among the Yitlan royal family in the later period?

Thinking of this, he was suddenly stunned and laughed at himself, "You are afraid of death, how can you come up with so many excuses? They are so high-sounding, but they are not even as good as this bastard."

"Okay, I'll take the picture." Ford's voice was hoarse.

Li Ming nodded with satisfaction, "I know you will figure it out, Your Highness."

Afterwards, Ford knelt on the ground with a solemn expression and read out the declaration of joining the Torch Organization.

After finishing, he looked exhausted, as if his body was drained of energy. "You must keep it safe. If it leaks, I will fight you to the death."

"Also, don't try to control me with this. The worst that can happen is that both of us will be destroyed," Ford emphasized.

"Don't worry." Li Ming nodded, entered the data into his smart terminal, and put it into his arms, which was already in the control bar. He smiled and said, "We are cooperating. There is no threat or no threat."

"By the way, I will upload this thing. If I die suddenly one day, it will definitely spread."

Ford's face turned pale and he snorted coldly, "Wait a minute, what will you say? You killed a Firework Apostle, a B-level life form. Your reputation is going to rise dramatically."

Li Ming was rummaging on the ground, not even turning his head. "Caroline has been seriously injured one after another. I'm afraid her strength is only at C-level."

"That's the truth, but they won't tell the truth when promoting it." Ford said calmly, "Your strength is amazing. Since we're collaborating, can you tell me what your methods are?"

"The method my teacher taught me will severely deplete my vitality and can only be used three times in a lifetime." Li Ming chatted casually.

Ford said nothing, but looked thoughtful, as if he believed it a little.

At this moment, Li Ming suddenly paused and said, "Finally found it."

He found a thumb-sized bright crystal in Caroline's half-liberated genetic true form corpse.

He pinched it between his fingers and looked up. He could not draw any metal energy from it, but something was indeed being devoured.

"Mother ore? Such a small mother ore?" Li Ming asked in surprise.

"That's a dimensional crystal." Ford looked over. "It's equivalent to the vitality of dimensional creatures."

"The super-powered Istanbul she sacrificed must be in a very deep secondary dimension, making it difficult to connect with the real universe. This dimensional crystal can only be used as an intermediary."

When mentioning this superpower Istanbul, Ford recalled everything that had just happened. He couldn't help but ask, "What happened during the sacrifice? How could it fail?"

"You seem very disappointed?" Li Ming calmly held the dimensional crystal in his palm.

"I'm not disappointed." Ford glanced at him. "You don't know the importance of Caroline. Their race is very special. If they were to integrate the gene seeds of mimicry, their abilities would reach a terrifying level."

"Except for brainwave detection and behavioral habit analysis, normal data detection is simply unable to identify the problem."

"The plan for her to take action must be extremely important. Knowing that her goal is to tear this planet apart, it seems very reasonable."

"But she failed, not only this time but also the last time."

Ford learned a lot from the conversation among the Torch people. Caroline was not defeated by Chen Jinglong at all, but was retaliated against because of the failed sacrifice.

The Torch is the enemy of the Itlan civilization after all. After being hunted for so many years, Ford will not underestimate them.

That's exactly what's strange. How could the torch become so useless?

Without interference, the sacrifice would fail.

Li Ming glanced at him and asked him how to answer. He had stolen and eaten most of the food offered as sacrifice to Thunder Hormuz?

As for this super Istanbul, it was completely fooled.

As soon as Li Ming took off the blessing control object, he found out that there was no such person.

"How should I know? Why don't you ask those two dimensional creatures?" Li Ming was impatient. His expression suddenly paused, and a prompt popped up in the control bar--

[Obtain incomplete divine energy]

Isn't it special energy?

Li Ming was very curious and couldn't wait to investigate, and then he was even more surprised.
