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...
Chapter 629: Fleeing in all directions
The remaining three X-level life forms were also in very bad conditions. They were filled with awe and did not dare to make any sound.
This super boss, who had just killed a suspected ultimate life form, didn't seem to be in a very good mood.
Li Ming looked around and made sure that nothing was left out, and Morris's body had long since dissolved completely.
"Hmm..." Li Ming stared at the Holy Castle base in the distance. The tassel pulled out from Morris also made him vaguely guess.
This type of fusion may involve more than just two stones exerting force.
Li Ming estimated: "Morris's physical strength alone should not be able to withstand this level of fusion, and there is an external force helping him..."
………
"What now?"
Deep inside the Holy Castle base, Costat and his companions reluctantly accepted the reality that had already happened. Schmidt spoke first, saying that they couldn't just sit there in a daze.
"Do we need to continue to transfer people? According to our estimates, if Qinglong rushes here non-stop after the Battle of Chaos Star Gap, we will have less than two months at most." He emphasized.
"If you want to transfer people, do it quickly!"
"No... I suggest retreating." Kostart finally calmed down, but Qinglong made him stressed out.
"Just giving him the stuff for free?" Holmes said somewhat unwillingly. "The Holy Fortress was shattered, leaving only the core area. He probably wouldn't be able to launch a second attack like that."
Costat frowned. "Tandin and the others are in the Master Lab. The gene fusion hasn't been successful yet. By the time they're transferred here, Azure Dragon's true form should be here too."
"Besides, we don't know how many people he brought with him, and with the Star of Eternal Silence, it will be difficult for us to resist."
He no longer wanted to continue the fight, not knowing how many more people would be killed.
"We lost this battle." He pointed out this reality bluntly.
Everyone couldn't help but fall silent. The things were right in front of them, and with so many sunk costs, they couldn't just leave.
"If we don't retreat now, it will be too late." Levenbeck's face changed slightly, and he had already rolled up the Eternal Holy Throne and rushed towards the star gate as soon as possible, leaving as soon as he said he would.
The Prophet and the Virgin Mary followed subconsciously.
Kostart turned his head and saw that only the core area of the Holy Castle was left, and it was being pulled by mechanical bodies and flying towards here.
"withdraw!"
Costat ordered without hesitation, "The base fleet will break up into small groups and disperse in all directions."
"Mr. Holmes, go!"
If I don't go there, the Holy Castle will come to me instead.
Holmes stopped being stubborn and directly opened the space channel, arriving at the star gate faster than Levenbeck and the other two.
"Fuck!" Schmidt gritted his teeth and cursed. As an S-class life form, he was the slowest, so he rushed into the space passage that had not yet closed.
"Running so fast without even blocking the way?" Li Ming stood on the Holy Fortress, looking at the Holy Fortress array that was collapsing in front of him, and was speechless.
He could probably guess that there must be one or two good things hidden here.
Unfortunately, this group of people have become smarter and don't give him any chance at all.
Although the Holy Castle could move now, it was very slow. When he slowly arrived in front of the base, the area he was heading towards was almost left with only some metal frames, and the fleet array fled in all directions.
The star gate has been closed, and the core structure has been dismantled, leaving only a large frame.
Li Ming was not surprised either. He was not here just to hunt down the enemy. He held a smart terminal in his hand and projected a virtual star map.
Anduin's stargate construction team was heading in this direction.
Estimating that they would arrive in more than a month, in order to save time, he simply took the remaining Holy Castle with him and rushed in both directions.
Li Ming finished up at the Holy Castle. It was worth mentioning that the broken arm of the Overlord-level corpse could actually enter the lobby of the Holy Castle, which surprised Li Ming.
But on second thought, it's normal.
After pulling the half limb in with great difficulty, Li Ming breathed a sigh of relief. He felt really uneasy leaving it outside.
Staring at this arm that almost took up half of the hall, this thing was too abnormal, like a piece of stone that was extremely inert to any external influence.
The individual strength of this thing alone is enough to keep it safe from the attacks launched by the Supervisor.
Outside, Leonidas was still alive, his throat rolling, standing on the edge of the Holy Castle.
They have come out of the shallow void dimension and are sailing in the starry universe. The originally vast Holy Castle is now almost reduced to the area around the Holy Castle lobby, with only one tenth of it remaining.
His current task is simple, to guard the remaining three X-level life forms.
His eyes fell on a few guys lying naked on the ground not far away.
Although they seemed to have suffered extremely serious injuries, Leonidach still felt as if he was in a dream.
After all, these are X-level life forms that have great influence in interstellar immigration, and one day he will have to guard them.
"Once you open the stargate node, you can go home." A voice came from behind. Leonidas turned around hurriedly, his voice trembling slightly, "Your Excellency Qinglong..."
It's not just the awe that comes from Qinglong, but also the hope of "going home".
Thinking about myself, everything I have experienced since being captured by Prince Heckler seems like a lifetime ago.
But he still had a vague worry, not about Qinglong.
He could only bite the bullet and ask, "Are you really going to let me go?"
"What else?" Li Ming asked, "Do you want to stay?"
"I..." Leonidas hesitated, "I don't know what to say and what not to say. Can you teach me?"
Li Ming stared at him and couldn't help but chuckle, "Then join the Mechanical Royal Court."
Those who are chosen as the successors of the Holy Castle will have high development potential and will definitely become X-level life forms, which can be considered talents.
"Thank you..." Leonidas shuddered all over, and only then did he feel relieved.
He saw many secrets here, and Qinglong was able to let him go.
But what about the people from the three major civilizations? Will they let him go easily?
Therefore, he could only hold on to Qinglong's thigh tightly to keep a way out.
Li Ming then sent another mechanical body to investigate whether there were any spies following behind. He actually discovered several warships and cleared them all out.
“…Then let’s stay here for a month or two.” Li Ming was a little worried. In order to avoid any unexpected situations, he simply stayed offline and just watched here.
At the side of the hall door, a purple skull with interwoven light was suspended, which was the Supervisor who was being reorganized.
After waiting for half a day, the Supervisor finally recovered.
Li Ming looked up and down with a strange expression on his face, compared to his previous beautiful appearance.
The current Inspector is quite crude, with his limbs made of simple metal pieces and his head being purple, which doesn't match his entire body.
However, after all, others gave up their original bodies for him.
He didn't like to joke around, so he just pretended nothing happened and asked the other person how he was doing.
"It doesn't matter whether it's in good condition or not. When you have time, please build a body for me." The Supervisor glanced at his face and looked at the Holy Castle Hall.
"No problem." Li Ming agreed immediately.
The Inspector actually walked forward tentatively, even with a bit of caution, until his simple palm came close to the energy barrier of the Holy Castle gate and he found that it could still be immersed in it, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"This head is also considered an overseer and has the authority to enter the palace..."
This seemed to be extremely important to him, and he immersed himself in it completely.
Li Ming thought about it and followed suit.
As expected, as soon as he entered, he found the Supervisor standing there in a daze.
The already crude mechanical body was now trembling so much that it was about to fall apart.
He raised his arm tremblingly and pointed at the huge forearm in front of him, with a bit of disbelief and suppressed anger, "What...what is this..."
"You've guessed it, do I need to explain it?" Li Ming casually threw out a few mechanical bodies that had not been turned out for a long time and twisted them with his hands.
Bluish-white sparks suddenly burst out from the metal joints of these mechanical bodies, and the bolts began to rotate counterclockwise on their own. The hexagonal armor plates were like magnetized tinfoil, peeling off precisely along the preset structure.
The parts scattered and were pulled by an invisible force, flying towards the Supervisor. Each metal particle was polished at the nanometer level during flight.
The moment they touched the Supervisor's crude metal body, liquid metal joints suddenly grew out of the originally rough joints, connecting the new and old parts into a composite structure similar to biological joints.
The fist-sized energy core stretches into glowing threads when it disintegrates, and penetrates the energy ducts of the new body as precisely as surgical sutures.
The transmission gears change speed synchronously, and the cast iron shell of the simple mechanical body is being coated with a dark gold paint.
When the last sensor module was transplanted, all the parts suddenly vibrated collectively, stimulating luminous patterns similar to neural networks on the surface of the new body.
"That's more like it..." Li Ming looked at the Inspector's new vest and nodded with satisfaction.
The Overseer, however, ignored the changes in his body and gnashed his teeth, saying, "How dare they cut up the Overlord's body? Damn it, damn it!"
"You're welcome..." Li Ming responded casually.
The Supervisor suddenly turned to look at Li Ming. The purple skull's pupils shone brightly, but after a moment, they went out again: "Forget it..."
"You want me to take revenge?" Li Ming sensed the other party's intention and thought for a moment before giving a warning. "I will also use this limb to research the Ultimate Gene Seed."
"I know." The Supervisor did not show the expected anger, but sighed, "So I say forget it."
"The appearance of this Overlord's corpse may be the will of the universe. Evolution must always have a path forward, and he is guiding you."
Li Ming's heart skipped a beat, as if he had grasped something, but it drifted away in his mind. Shaking his head, he brought up the business, "There's one more thing I want to ask you."
The Overseer, having only just now remembered to adjust to his body, was clacking around and responding, "Go ahead."
"During Yongyuan's inactive period, is there any way for it to influence the main universe?" Li Ming asked.
The Supervisor paused, thought for a moment, and then said, "The active period isn't a precise limit. It doesn't mean that upon reaching this limit, Yongyuan will immediately dispatch the Yuan Clan army. It's also a slow process, and the impact on the main universe gradually increases."
"What are you worried about?" The Overseer realized something.
Li Ming sighed and said helplessly: "I didn't have time to tell you before, but Yongyuan seems to have set his sights on me."
"What?" Flames erupted from the Overseer's purple head, and its body trembled. "Is it targeting you?"
"Is it that black figure from before?" He suddenly understood, connecting the dots between cause and effect, and angrily said with a hint of accusation, "You shouldn't have blocked it for me."
Li Ming was speechless. He wasn't just trying to save the Inspector. "If I hadn't stopped him then, Morris wouldn't have been able to handle it."
Besides, the incorruptible mechanical body has already attracted the guy's attention, and there is no way to escape.
"If you can't handle it, then give up!" The Overseer's reaction was even greater than he had imagined. "It's just a broken Digras Crown. Compared to being targeted by Yongyuan, the latter is even more unacceptable."
He was very anxious. "You don't understand how terrifying the Eternal Abyss is. It is the other side of the universe. It has never truly targeted a living being."
"Even those Titan masters in the past were just routine responses."
At this point, the Supervisor suddenly realized what was happening and asked in a deep voice, "How did you know it was targeting you?"
"Uh..." Li Ming's face was puzzled. "He told me directly."
The supervisor was struck by lightning, frozen in place, and almost unable to function.
Yongyuan direct dialogue?
There is no record of the Titans having any conversations with Yongyuan during the entire war phase in response to Yongyuan's invasion.
"It's over..." He murmured dejectedly, "Once it enters its active phase, it will find you first."
"You...are the hope against Yongyuan."
"It's not active yet." Li Ming frowned slightly and brought up the previous topic: "So, under normal circumstances, he shouldn't be able to affect the main universe. In the situation just now, he didn't take any further action."
After the Supervisor calmed down and his consciousness was transferred to the purple skull, his emotions became more and more likely to fluctuate.
"There's no such record in my database," the Supervisor recalled. "It even says that the Overlord-level Abyss Clan only appears in the middle to late stages of the war."
"Then it's not a big problem." Li Ming nodded. It was still unknown how long it would take for the active period to come.
I have the X-level gene seed in hand, and the ultimate gene seed is on the way. Once it evolves into the ultimate life form, I won’t care about the Eternal Abyss, I will just kill it.
The Supervisor stared at him in astonishment and asked, "Is it not a big problem?"
He emphasized, "Even the Titans couldn't stop the Eternal Abyss. Only those above the Overmind could defeat it completely. But... the Overminds have searched for countless years and still haven't found the direction of evolution."
"You don't have to worry about that." Li Ming waved his hand.
The Overseer couldn't figure out where his confidence came from. The light on the skull was dazzling and then dim.
No matter what the situation, there wasn't much he could do.
…
At the same time, in the deep dimension, there is no concept of time and space, only endless darkness.
And in this place where almost no living creature has ever set foot, a pair of eyes suddenly opened.
