Chapter 489 The reason why the corpse appeared is that Qinglong is the forging hammer!

Gonzalez is not a man who can face death calmly, otherwise he would not choose to surrender.

At this moment, with the crisis of life and death imminent, he had almost no time to think and wanted to beg for mercy.

However, a terrifying force squeezed in from the outside, even though his physical strength had long surpassed ordinary people's imagination and had been tempered and strengthened countless times.

But in the face of this power, it also seems so fragile.

In the blink of an eye, his cheeks turned liver color and veins bulged on his forehead, as if trying to break free from the constraints of his skin.

Every blood vessel stood out under the tremendous pressure, as if it would burst at any time.

He struggled desperately, trying to mobilize all his strength to resist the terrifying pressure from the outside, but everything seemed so futile.

Silently, a ball of blood spurted out from the metal palm, crushing Gonzalez's body to pieces. His head flew out due to the high congestion of blood, but was immediately pierced by a beam of energy.

The death was extremely brutal.

Li Ming was thinking in his heart, and the hidden danger of Gonzalez was also eliminated.

His death was almost tied to this corpse, and it was impossible for the people present to leak it. It was a perfect opportunity.

Kostat's throat rolled and he quickly retreated a long distance. The others followed suit, with only one thought in their minds.

Young people, you are really vindictive.

Gonzalez had targeted Li Ming many times, so it was not surprising that he was killed.

They were just afraid that this guy would kill them too.

"He is a member of the Star Alliance. Why are you keeping him? What if he leaks the information? Wouldn't that be disastrous?" Li Ming finally spoke, facing Tandin's unfriendly gaze, his tone even sounded a little innocent.

"Don't we know he's from the Star Alliance?" Tandin said solemnly, "He has chosen to surrender."

"Submission?" Li Ming was stunned. "You dare to use such a person?"

"It doesn't matter." Alves shook his head. The person was dead and there was no one to make a decision for Gonzalez.

It’s not that they don’t have time to stop it, but they also want to see the power of this Mechanical Holy Spirit.

At this moment, they were all a little surprised. The strength of this Mechanical Holy Spirit was vaguely higher than they had imagined.

"Now that the deal is done, would you like to go take a look at the body below?" Alves offered. "We still have many questions about this body."

"Okay." Li Ming agreed immediately, and was very curious.

Unexpectedly, Alves said, "Where are the two master craftsmen? Do you want to come out and check it out together?"

"No, this is fine." Li Ming refused.

"Don't worry, now that the deal has been made, we won't go back on our word," Alves said softly.

"Oh." Li Ming's reaction was indifferent. "Are you going to let us see it or not? If not, we'll leave now. Contact us again after the joint laboratory is established."

Alves smiled helplessly and said sideways, "Please."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Mechanical Holy Spirit appeared above the corpse, moving silently.

Li Ming looked down and saw that the various modules of the Mechanical Holy Spirit were playing their roles, collecting environmental information, building corpse models, and conducting in-depth analysis.

There are only a limited number of Overlord-level Terrax people, and they belong to the level that can build the Holy Castle. They must have names and surnames. I will go back and ask the Supervisor, Li Ming thought to himself.

"Aside from the broken arm, there aren't any wounds on the skin?" Reynolds couldn't help but be surprised. "He's not injured, he wasn't beaten to death. Could it be that his life span has come to an end?"

"Unlikely. If their lifespan reaches its limit, the Terraxians will inevitably perish on their own. So far, no more than three Terraxian corpses have been discovered in the interstellar space, and they were all low-level."

Mikhail retorted, "It's just that the wound on the arm is a little strange."

Li Ming also noticed this and took a closer look. The wound on the broken arm was very irregular, with jagged marks, as if it was caused by some irregular object cutting for a long time.

The muscles were scarlet in color, with distinct and clear textures. There was no blood at all, only the black mark on the wound, which looked very familiar.

"Why does it feel like this wound was made recently?" Mikhail became more and more suspicious.

"As expected of a master craftsman..." Alves said, "You've also noticed that this wound should have been caused after the corpse appeared."

"You mean, someone visited this corpse before you?" Li Ming asked in surprise, "But you arrived quickly enough."

"Yes, so we suspect that the person who cut off this arm triggered the catastrophe in advance." Alves nodded.

"How could there be someone of this level in the interstellar universe who could even predict what the Red River Catastrophe would be?"

Li Ming became more and more suspicious. He stared at the wound. The black symbol imprinted on the muscle looked very familiar to him.

But for a moment, I couldn't think of where I had seen it.

"Yeah, we were speculating too." Raphael also flew over and landed on the temporary metal deck built around the corpse.

He asked, "There are definitely only a handful of people in the galaxy who possess this ability. The only clue is the black symbol left on the muscle. I wonder if there are any similar records in the databases of the Master Craftsmen."

Li Ming didn't say anything, but recalled carefully. Reynolds and Mikhail scanned for a while and both gave negative answers.

Tandin said solemnly, "Not only did they foresee the appearance of Terrax's corpse, they also had the ability to cut it up. Their strength is quite impressive. If they could truly figure out what it is, it would be a serious threat."

"This seems to be..." Li Ming's heart moved, and he suddenly remembered where he had seen it.

I saw similar symbols when I was fiddling with the Oath-Keeping Stone.

Could it be the Virgin Mary and the prophet?

They actually have this ability? Li Ming thought he had to re-evaluate these two guys.

Silently, the metal on his arm squirmed, and he raised his metal arm to touch the muscle where the wound was.

Beneath the surface metal skin of the Mechanical Holy Spirit, the Oath-Keeping Stone has appeared at the end of its finger.

At the moment when the two came together, wisps of black smoke floated up from the wound, which was exactly the black symbol.

"What the hell!"

"retreat!"

Everyone's faces changed drastically, and they retreated a long distance in an instant, fearing that it was something terrifying.

But a moment later, I found that the hazy black mist formed a blurry scene, and there seemed to be a human figure.

"Record! Record!" Raphael's face turned anxious and he shouted in the regional channel.

"What's going on? Something unexpected happened as soon as the Mechanical Holy Spirit touched it?" Tandin looked surprised and suspicious.

"Not sure, it's too blurry. Let's go and take a look." Alves approached cautiously, and everyone followed closely behind.

Li Ming was also stunned. Looking at the picture made up of black objects in front of him, it seemed like a record of what had happened.

The fog kept reorganizing as it surged, and finally gradually froze, revealing three vague figures, but they were all blurry and unclear.

The huge and blurry shadow next to it should be the corpse.

"Is it a picture from the past?" Alvis realized something and looked deeply at the Mechanical Holy Spirit.

Then he pinched out an air bubble to cover the area, and at the same time pulled out a series of symbols, attaching them to the surface of the black mist to form a transparent membrane.

What is surprising is that through this membrane, the scene above the black fog is actually clearer. Although the appearance and specific details are still unclear, it is not a blur of noise.

"Unfortunately, the space-time factor of the Red River Star Stream is too unstable, and it can only achieve this level." Alves was helpless.

"These three figures must be the ones who caused the catastrophe," Tandin speculated, his expression grave. "They're less than two meters tall. Judging by their features, two of them are likely human. The last one has very broad shoulders, like he has wings."

Li Ming was speechless upon hearing this. That should be the Virgin Mary, and the things that looked like wings should be her arms stacked together.

However, he had no intention of reminding her.

I was also very confused. There are only two people, the prophet and the Virgin Mary, so who is the other one?

Everyone had their own thoughts in their minds, but as the black fog surged, the scene above actually moved and a vague sound was heard.

“…I have tried every possible means. If you two can’t find any other way, we will have no choice but to leave…” The voice was indistinguishable between a man and a woman, and it was filled with helplessness and a reminder.

"Cooperative relationship. This person is in one camp, and the other two are in another camp." Tan Ding said with certainty.

"The situation is pretty much as we expected. There's nothing we can do with this corpse, except for some special methods..."

Everyone watched intently, without waiting for the other two's response. After a brief blur, the scene turned into another one.

Two people were suspended above the corpse, cutting the corpse back and forth with two extremely small and blurry objects.

"Why did you suddenly jump here?" Tan Wei was puzzled.

"The space-time factor is unstable." Alves shook his head and pulled out a series of symbols, trying to see what that small and blurry thing was, but in the end he could only sigh helplessly.

"It's too small to see clearly."

It should be the Stone of the Virgin Mary and the Stone of the Prophet, Li Ming secretly estimated.

This thing is indeed unusually hard and can actually be used to cut the corpse of a Dominant-class Titan, although it seems very difficult.

You know, Tandin and Alvis have been here for a long time, but they are still helpless with this corpse.

"Who is it?" Tandin frowned, and the others were also thinking, trying to find clues from those insignificant features.

We really can't underestimate these two guys. They were able to predict the appearance of Terrax's body. Although Li Ming knew it, he was also shocked.

The Holy Mother Church has a great foundation.

In a blink of an eye, the scene above the black fog jumped again. After an unknown amount of time, they had successfully cut off the arm and tied it to the spaceship.

"The spacecraft seems to be very simple, and there are no corresponding transportation facilities... The preparations seem to be insufficient." Granger analyzed the few pieces of information above.

The three people in the picture looked at the remaining corpses with reluctance. One of them said, "It's a pity that others will have to take advantage of it..."

"...We're lucky to be alright. Although we didn't find the forge hammer, we did find the body of the Terraxian..."

"Looking for a forging hammer?"

Everyone was stunned. Didn’t they come here for the corpse?

Costat blurted out, "Is Forge Hammer still alive? Impossible!"

He spoke with absolute certainty, ruling the Holy Elephant at the cost of his own annihilation, and explaining to the stars that the Empire had killed the Master Hammersmith.

Moreover, there is relevant information within the empire to prove that there is no way Forging Hammer is still alive.

"Why not?" Reynolds was very excited. "There are endless ways to forge a hammer."

Mikhail made no comment.

"Looking for a forging hammer?" Li Ming was also quite surprised, and he felt relieved. He really thought that the Holy Mother Church had gone against the will of heaven to a certain extent.

Now it seems that it was just a coincidence.

However, he then became suspicious. Why did the Holy Mother Church want to find Duan Chui? Did they have a grudge against Duan Chui? He had never heard of it.

And how did you find yourself here?

"He actually came here to find the forging hammer?" Alvis was also surprised. "Is he really not dead?"

Raphael thought thoughtfully, "But in this way, the scope can be narrowed down to the enemies of the Hammer Forge."

The reason why they are called enemies is that Forge Hammer’s friends are basically Reynolds and Mikhail, and both of them are here now.

As everyone pondered, a voice came from the screen again: "...Qinglong is hiding too deep. If the wreckage is his carrier, he should have known about the existence of this body long ago..."

"Qinglong?"

Everyone was confused again and subconsciously looked at the Mechanical Holy Spirit in front of them. What does this have to do with Qinglong?

Aren’t you looking for a forging hammer? Why is Qinglong involved again?

Moreover, Qinglong already knew about the existence of this corpse?

Only Costat's heart trembled, as if he had realized something.

While the others were in a daze, a voice came from the screen: "...The exact situation of the wreckage is still unknown. It is also possible that due to some unforeseen circumstances, the Hammer may not be aware of the existence of this body..."

With this added sentence, everyone understood and froze in place, as if they had suffered a huge shock.

One of them called him Forging Hammer, while the other called him Azure Dragon, but in essence, they were discussing one person.

Qinglong is the forging hammer!

There was a fiery light in Tandin's eyes, while Alvis's expression was restrained and expressionless.

Dius looked at the Mechanical Holy Spirit with difficulty, and Costat's face was tense.

Reynolds shouted in a high-pitched and excited voice: "The Azure Dragon is the forging hammer, and the forging hammer is the Azure Dragon!"

"Mikhail, I told you a long time ago, but you still didn't believe me."

Mikhail's heart was shaken. How...how is this possible? It doesn't make sense in theory.

What was the point of the forging hammer changing its appearance? To avoid enemies? He didn't.

Li Ming sighed sadly, he finally understood.

No wonder the Prophet and the Virgin Mary came to find Forging Hammer. It turned out that they thought Forging Hammer was him.

As a result, through some unknown means, they accidentally found the body of a Overlord-level Terrax.

It's really weird. Li Ming doesn't know why the Holy Mother Church and the Prophet think he is the Forging Hammer.

Apart from the current Mechanical Holy Spirit and the hammer, there was no connection before.

He guessed that the reason must be the third person.

Who is this guy, and how can he be involved with Qinglong and Duanchui at the same time?

Could it be... His heart skipped a beat, and a name popped up, Levenbaker?
