Chapter 309: Who said I was leaving? Divide the core ruins?
In the central battlefield, the energy tide never stops. It seems very tense, but it is difficult to make any progress.
Reina and Albert have already made a promise that they have to continue fighting even if they cannot break the defense, otherwise it would be too embarrassing.
Li Ming was keenly aware of this. Although the opponent could not break his defense, he was consuming physical strength every moment. Even if he did not move, with all kinds of blessings and recovery blessings, he still could not stop.
If he was forced to exit the possessed state, he didn't know whether he would be shocked to death.
"You two, there's actually no need for us to continue fighting."
A sudden voice rang out in Reiner and Albert's minds, and the surging tide of energy suddenly stopped.
Without any hesitation, Reina and Albert stopped at the same time, as if they had been waiting for these words.
"It doesn't seem to be just mental power..." Albert finally realized that the way Qinglong transmitted sound was very strange.
The entangled energy particles in the field gradually dissipated, revealing the almost undamaged body hanging in the starry sky.
Then, Qinglong continued, "Neither of us can do anything to the other. Continuing the fight is a waste of time."
"Hmph, we can ask for support. At worst, we can just wait a month or two." Reina said firmly, both pairs of arms numb.
It is estimated that the development progress must reach 30% or even more than 50% before it can cause damage to this turtle shell.
With his development potential, he could not become an S-class life form. It was only because Grand Duke Guya provided him with a lot of resources that he was able to barely become an S-class life form.
But his potential has been exhausted, and it is almost impossible for him to make any further progress, so he will never be able to break it in his lifetime.
"Stop joking. You and I both know it's impossible. How long will the tidal period of the Red River Star Stream last?" Li Ming asked back. Reina snorted coldly.
As they stopped fighting, the A-level life forms on the periphery also stopped immediately and looked at the center.
Albert's face was cold: "You are right. We can't break your defense, Dark Night. Dark Night is waiting for an opportunity to attack. In the end, it is just a stalemate. Waiting for the tidal period to end, all of us are in big trouble."
"Then let's end it. You and An Ye can leave. We won't stop you."
The many A-level life forms who received this mental fluctuation were surprised. They really couldn't break the defense. Was the mecha really that tough?
"We're just going to let them go now?" Reina was unwilling. "It's still unclear who killed Gabriel. If we let them go, are you really sure it was me?"
"Who said we're leaving?" Before Albert could respond, Li Ming replied, "I mean we can work together to open the core ruins, divide up the things inside, and then leave separately."
Now that he's gone, the core ruins are opened and there's nothing inside. This guy Reina will definitely throw dirty water on him and muddy the water even more.
Albert's face turned pale. "You still want to divide up the core ruins?"
Asmara looked over suddenly, and Ford was secretly surprised. This guy is really powerful. He even wants to divide the core ruins.
Instead, Reina hesitated, not wanting to look at Albert, and said hesitantly: "This suggestion is not bad."
Albert glanced at him coldly and said, "There is only one sublimation source crystal, how do you divide it?"
"I consider you all as one part of the Xingyuan Empire. Whoever gets it, please lend it to me." Li Ming said, "I heard there are some special materials inside. I'm very interested."
"Let's open it first. We can't keep staying in a stalemate." Reina said directly. Originally, the combined fleet had the advantage.
They were the attackers, under time pressure and at a disadvantage, so they might not have been able to grab the ball, but now that is no longer certain.
At least we are on the same starting line.
Albert felt depressed when faced with Reina's sudden betrayal, but he couldn't refuse. At least in this matter, he was at a disadvantage.
Afterwards, everyone found that the situation was becoming increasingly unpredictable. Not only did they stop fighting, but Reina, Albert, and Qinglong also landed together on the floating platform in front of the core ruins.
The ecological shield was opened and the air began to flow.
Asmara landed with an expressionless face. What was happening now was no longer something she could decide.
Reina urged: "Open it quickly, open it quickly."
"It can't be opened." Asmara shook her head. "The quantum shield on the surface of the core instrument is extremely difficult to crack. Even with an energy hook, it would take at least five days to tear a hole."
"Five days?" Reina frowned. "Get out of the way! I'm going to smash it open with one punch."
Asmara shook her head again. "Once this core ruins is detected by external forces forcibly breaking in, it will collapse directly and irreversibly."
Li Ming's heart moved slightly and he waved to the back.
Soon, Ulrich and others approached with different looks in their eyes. Li Ming ignored them for the time being and just brought Benny in.
Benny crawled on the ground, feeling terrified. Even when the Ascender civilization was at its peak, S-class life forms had the highest combat power and an extremely high status.
"Open it." Li Ming said calmly. Seeing that everyone was puzzled, he casually explained: "The remnants of the Ascended."
Asmara couldn't help but look at herself; she had been searching for so long but to no avail.
"Ha..." Reina raised an eyebrow, "Impressive, you're so well prepared."
Benny just trembled. Li Ming continued, "It only takes five days to open it with the energy crochet. I just don't want to waste time. You know the status of the people present. If you don't want to be killed, then open it."
Benny shuddered, his face full of misery. After hesitating for a long time, he slowly stood up, opened his mouth wide, stretched an arm in, and then took out a cone-shaped bright blue crystal.
Everyone looked disgusted. Benny slowly walked to the barrier on the surface of the core ruins and actually cut a hole in it.
Asmara hesitated and asked someone to bring Wu Yanqing over, along with two metal boxes.
Li Ming nodded slightly, and Wu Yanqing was surprised and nodded in response.
Albert and others didn't care. They knew that the two had the same student, but they also understood that it was impossible to threaten Qinglong with this person.
The group passed through the energy rift, and Li Ming carried Benny all the way to the gate.
Asmara first opened a metal box, which contained a tube of silver-white reagent. With a serious face, she injected it directly into Wu Yanqing's arm artery.
Soon, veins on Old Wu's neck bulged and he gasped for breath, but he quickly adapted.
Then, Asmara opened another box, which contained a sublimator.
Wu Yanqing placed his hands on it, and the football-sized sublimator opened from the center, and the bright light shone on Wu Yanqing.
Wu Yanqing's subcutaneous blood vessels swelled rapidly, like flowing silver snakes. His eyes widened and his pupils were bloodshot, but it soon ended.
After some operations, Old Wu finally placed his hand on the crystal.
"Verification passed, entry allowed," a soft female voice sounded, and then the door opened.
Asmara felt a slight pang in her heart, but she forced out an ugly smile. She had been busy for this for many years, but the final result was completely different from what she expected.
She glanced at Qinglong, and a feeling of powerlessness arose spontaneously.
In the face of absolute power, any plan is futile.
But he looked behind the door again. After so many years, he came here again. This time he could finally see the beauty of the sublimated source crystal. After all, he felt like his long-cherished wish had come true.
The trembling Benny couldn't help but look over.
Everyone stepped in. As usual, they first saw the desolate universe, and then the history of the Ascendants. Asmara obviously knew the process, and she skipped it directly after speaking a non-common language.
Then, a gentle voice sounded, "Greetings, respected successor. Particle concentration is 50%... You are allowed to take away one primary resource."
"Primary resources?"
Everyone's expressions were the same as Li Ming's before, especially those who came closer to take a look at the materials, with different expressions.
Li Ming just wanted to laugh when he saw it.
Asmara frowned. This was her first time coming in through formal channels, and she really didn't know about these conditions.
"What are the requirements to inherit this core relic and obtain the Sublimation Source Crystal?"
“needs to… and through…”
When everyone learned about the series of prerequisites needed to completely inherit this core relic, their expressions became even more strange.
There weren't many people at the scene who had come into contact with the "relics" left behind by this destroyed advanced civilization.
Asmara couldn't help but look at Benny, then glanced at Qinglong, and simply asked directly: "Sir Benny, since you are a descendant of the Ascended, you must know who meets this requirement?"
Everyone's eyes were on him, but Benny remained silent.
Opening the core ruins was a last resort, there was no choice, but now...
Reina seemed increasingly impatient: "It's so complicated, no wonder it's destroyed."
He took a sudden step forward, and terrifying energy exploded under his feet. The metal floor around him cracked, and black and red cracks gradually spread.
"Don't..." Benny shouted hurriedly with a horrified look on his face, but it was too late.
boom!
The ground completely crumbled, and a warning sounded: "Destruction of the core ruins detected, the tight blockade mechanism activated, entering the collapse countdown."
Albert frowned, raised his hand, and with a wave of his hand, he swept away the broken metal floor, revealing the deep pit behind it.
When everyone looked over, they saw only a huge hole, empty and with nothing in it.
Most people's expressions did not change. They had never been here and had no idea what the scene would be like after it was opened. They just looked around.
“This…this…this…”
Only Benny's face was filled with disbelief. He struggled, stumbled, and looked at the huge pit in front of him. "How could this happen? How could this happen?"
"It shouldn't be like this. Where are the things? Where are the things?"
Benny stroked the wall with trembling arms, like a madman.
Everyone was confused and looked at each other. Only Asmara pulled him up and asked in a deep voice, "What shouldn't be done like this? Explain clearly!"
"Where are the things? There should be a lot of things behind here, sublimation source crystals, remaining resources..." Benny pointed around with his four skinny arms and muttered to himself.
"What do you mean?" Asmara suddenly had a bad feeling in her heart and questioned him.
"Warning, collapse countdown three minutes."
The alarm was still ringing. Benny suddenly shuddered and struggled, "Let me go, let me go, I want to find out what's going on!"
Asmara hesitated for a moment, but finally let go of Benny. He rolled and crawled to the central control column.
Everyone was not quite sure what was going on and they all stared at him. They saw Benny groping around the control column tremblingly. He didn't know where he touched, but a small interface popped up.
He hurriedly stuffed the crystal in his hand in, and the shrill alarm sound suddenly stopped, and a melodious sound was heard.
"Key detection passed, highest authority unlocked... collapse paused..."
"Greetings, Your Excellency the Overseer."
Benny didn't bother to say anything more and asked quickly, "Has anyone been here before we came?"
"And nothing was detected..." the control core responded.
"Has anyone inherited the things stored here?"
"No, still... beep... warning, core equipment severely damaged, resources lost, testing in progress..." The control core hummed for a moment, and finally just a few simple words: "No system abnormalities..."
"Nothing unusual?" Benny's eyes were bloodshot, and he gritted his teeth. "Everything has been taken away. There's only a layer of wall plaster left. And you tell me there's nothing unusual?"
"Asmara and the others clearly came in, but you couldn't detect them?"
"Sorry, I can't help you." The control core's voice was flat.
"What do you mean, the things are gone?" Reina asked in a deep voice.
"Hahaha...hahaha..." Benny seemed to have lost his mind, laughing so hard that tears were about to come out. He looked around at everyone, "A bunch of losers, you don't even know you're being played with, idiots, losers!"
"Someone has already taken over this place. Everything is gone. I'm just leaving this empty shell here to amuse you!"
Asmara's pupils narrowed slightly and her whole body shook. Although in the current situation, she was basically unable to get her hands on the core ruins.
But after all, this was the goal she had been working for for so long, and now it was just an empty shell. This blow even made her a little discouraged.
Albert frowned and scolded: “What the hell is going on!”
Gabriel's death is already a great loss, and these core relics cannot be left in vain.
"What Itlan civilization, Asmara, S-class life forms, they are all a bunch of garbage, garbage!" Benny was still cursing, gritting his teeth, venting the anger that had been suppressed for a long time.
Albert had no expression on his face. He raised his hand and an invisible force held Benny in his hand. His forehead cracked and a purple crack projected a beam of light, enveloping Benny.
Li Ming couldn't help but say, "Alas..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Albert's face changed slightly, and mercury-like energy directly enveloped Benny. Following a muffled sound, the silver energy quickly grew like a burst balloon.
But in the end, it only expanded to a size of two or three meters and then stopped. Albert looked grim and threw it out of the core ruins, and it exploded like a firework in space.
"He has a nuclear bomb in his head." Li Ming sighed and then finished: "Why are you in such a hurry? He is a great mechanic after all."
Albert took a deep breath. The only Benny who knew this place well was gone.
No one knows what the situation is now.
Everyone fell silent, and suddenly a cold female voice rang out: "Warning... collapse restart, countdown, one minute!"
