Chapter 353 [Energy Lord] Secret Confrontation
"There's no similar news spreading on the Internet?" Robin asked in surprise after turning back to the aircraft.
"It shouldn't have been implemented for too long. We can't log into the black hole network here, but the star network can block information. Several forces should have united together." Li Ming stood in front of the porthole.
"But people who go out will probably curse, right?" Robin muttered.
Li Ming was looking up through the porthole and saw a figure with silver hair and silver eyes hanging at the highest point, Albert.
Albert came, and Li Ming's heart moved slightly. What about Nicholas?
The dimensional world belongs to the back garden of the imperial royal family. There must be a reason why Albert can come here.
"It's not because of... you, is it?" Robin asked cautiously, his throat rolling.
"I don't know." Li Ming shook his head and added, "Maybe."
Robin paused, unable to help but ask, "The Xingyuan Empire, the Yongyao Federation, and the Star Cluster Republic Alliance have united to capture you?"
When these names were spoken, Robin felt a sense of suffocation and oppression.
Li Ming glanced at him and said speechlessly, "What are you thinking? They joined forces to find me, not to arrest me."
"Uh, is there any difference?" Robin's heart was beating fast. This matter was really too big for him to calm down.
"They may not be hostile. Perhaps they just don't want me to get close to the Sacred Elephant, or perhaps they want me to accomplish some of their goals..." Li Ming said, his vision clear. "They don't want to see someone take something away silently."
At present, only the Dominating Holy Elephant has appeared, and the Infinite Hammer has not appeared.
The so-called inheritance sounds tempting, but for those imperial-level forces, it should not be so desired.
Given Li Ming's status, it is not too much for him to obtain these things.
There is a teacher above him who can forge S-class mechanical bodies. He is also part of the Mechanics Association and is not a weed.
The problem is that the Hammersmith was involved in some secrets that led to this situation.
"That's right..." Robin figured it out. "Even if there's a fight, I think the master craftsmen in the Mechanics Association are more motivated. Why are these imperial civilizations making such a big fuss?"
"There's a secret..."
Li Ming's eyes flickered. He thought his guess was correct. This time the battle seemed big, but in fact it did not pose such a big threat to him.
But Albert's sudden appearance made him alert, fearing that someone might take advantage of the situation.
The aircraft moved away, and the mechanical pupils of the broadcaster that was broadcasting back and forth in a loop flashed, synchronizing the management system.
"The aircraft has been marked, the ID has been marked, it comes from the Bolivarian civilization..."
………
Iron sand was everywhere, and the ground was covered with gullies. A woman in black veil stood on the top of the mountain, and her skin was covered with purple symbols, as if they were integrated with her skin.
In front of her, the Virgin Mary with six arms crossed looked down at the earth expressionlessly.
"Holy Mother..." someone in the back reported, draped in black veil, "We have searched the entire dimensional world and have not found Lord Aidas or any of the other members. Nothing remains in the remaining base."
“No relevant traces were found.”
"It was handled very cleanly." The Reverend Mother said, "Prophet, who do you think did it?"
"The Xingyuan Empire is more likely." The prophet said calmly, "They have always been determined to kill us, the Holy Mother Church."
"Isn't it Qinglong?" the Virgin Mary asked.
"The probability is not high. Aidas is well prepared. Besides, Austin's transmission channel has collapsed, so Li Ming will not arrive here." The prophet shook his head.
“Perhaps it was because of the journey that we discovered something was wrong.” The Virgin Mary disagreed.
The prophet did not argue, but simply said, "Let me try and see..."
The Virgin Mary nodded and slowly retreated to the back. It could be clearly seen that the edges of her skin were a little blurry. It was not her real body that came, but just an illusion.
The prophet raised his hands, a faint chanting sound came from his throat, and some scattered energy glow dissipated in the void.
At the same time, the upper edge of her skin turned red, her face looked a little painful, and the symbols seemed to be burning her skin.
But the chanting became louder and louder until it covered the entire dimensional world, and some illusory scenes emerged beside her.
A large number of spaceships strangely rolled up from the ground. This was the scene when they arrived. Time and space seemed to be reversing and flowing backwards.
It was then quickly covered by a golden light, surging like the sea. At the same time, the scene began to become unstable, with cracks appearing.
"How could this happen!" The prophet's face changed drastically, and he trembled all over. He tried hard to keep the picture stable. The golden waves gradually condensed into a nearly perfect human figure, half-kneeling in the void, holding a drop of blood-colored crystal in one hand and something in the other.
I don't know what language he was mumbling.
Then it turned around and stood up, returning to the ruins. As it gradually solidified, it turned out to be the remains of Terrax.
Then, he rushed back from the ruins, raising dust and sand.
"Srota!"
A roar suddenly sounded, and the rapidly flowing scene froze.
"Srota!" The voice resounded throughout the entire dimensional world. The figure seemed to be looking for something. In the reversed time scene, he was shown venting the energy in his body unscrupulously, destroying the entire dimensional world into pieces.
"Who is he?" The Virgin Mary frowned, quite surprised.
"I don't know..." The prophet shook his head, sweating profusely, and it was obvious that he had pushed himself to the limit.
"Who is Talos?" the Virgin Mary asked again.
Without waiting for an answer, the scene around him completely collapsed and the prophet flew backwards.
"I can't see it. What he did destroyed the stability of the dimensional world." The prophet flew back. "I can only barely trace back to this point. I can't see anything before."
The Virgin Mary's expression changed, and she frowned, "Is the Aidas matter being covered up like this?"
The prophet sighed and said helplessly, "I can't help it. I suggest you look up the name Talos. The person pursuing him is no ordinary person and extremely powerful. He wouldn't come here for no reason."
The Holy Mother took a deep breath, feeling a surge of irritation. "That's all we can do. Also, you're responsible for contacting Qinglong and testing his stance."
…
In the hotel room, Li Ming held the [Energy Controller] badge in his hand, controlled it and then consumed it, and the control page popped up.
[Gun Master] → [Energy Lord]
[Guns and Cannons Master: The master who controls guns and cannons, and possesses the abilities of [Strategic Support] and [Heart of Energy].
[Strategic Support: Special control objects can be placed in advance to provide support at critical moments without occupying the main control column.]
[Heart of Energy: Synchronizes your own blessings to bullets and controls their trajectory. It also protects you from energy attacks from yourself and the objects you control.]
[Heart of Guns] changes to [Heart of Energy], and energy cannot harm itself?
Li Ming's heart skipped a beat. This ability looked simple, but it was actually very powerful.
After all, energy does not distinguish between you and me. It is like a bullet fired from a gun barrel. It will cause damage to anyone it hits.
This is also an important point in limiting the individual's strength during large-scale interstellar wars. When the main guns fire at the same time, the energy is annihilated, regardless of whether you are the enemy or not.
But with this ability, Li Ming can use some tactics of Tiandi Tongshou when fighting with the opponent, such as "fire at me", and the scene should be very beautiful.
Li Ming was very satisfied with the five million metal energies, which were of good quality and low price. He then took out the smart terminal, switched to the [communicator], and started to build an external communication network.
It was quickly constructed and connected to the black hole network. It first scanned the relevant information of the central world and specifically searched for information on detecting mimicry masks.
It was indeed no different from my memory, and no one mentioned it.
"How could this happen? According to the nature of these people, they should have started cursing a long time ago." Li Ming pondered, his eyes suddenly became deep, and suddenly remembered that if he wanted to speak on the black hole network, he had to leave the central world.
Most people who are willing to be tested will not feel guilty, and such people will not necessarily publicize it.
Those who turn around and leave must have problems. They usually have interstellar wanted posters. Such people may not be able to leave the central world, or they may be marked in some way for tracking.
I should have been tagged too, Li Ming frowned, then logged into Qinglong's account and tried to contact Blackbeard.
There was no response at first, and I waited for two or three hours before the other party replied.
This time it's not video, just voice.
"You finally remembered to contact me." There was a lot of resentment in Blackbeard's words.
"How's the Reina incident going?" Li Ming asked directly without any idle chatter.
Blackbeard paused again, speechless. Last time he wanted to talk about Reina, but Qinglong asked him about the control of the Holy Elephant.
This time he wanted to talk about ruling the Holy Elephant, and Li Ming asked him about Reina again.
"…Everything is almost ready. In a little while, someone will attack him. With all the evidence, Tsathoggua will ask the Royal Council to revoke his title of Grand Duke." Blackbeard said helplessly.
"This is tantamount to tearing off his face, and he will never let it go."
Li Ming nodded and asked, "Where is Nicolael?"
Blackbeard was silent for a moment, his tone filled with doubt, "You knew he was in the Central World?"
After saying that, he added: "It can be considered as a meritorious service and seeking refuge."
It really came... Li Ming narrowed his eyes slightly, "Achieve merit?"
"Yes." Blackbeard hesitated. "Inside the Xingyuan Empire, he is one of the only two people you have dealt with. Tsathoggua is still recuperating, and he was transferred here to provide strategic advice."
"It's both to delay the disturbance in the main universe and to deal with you in a hurry.
Seeing Qinglong remained silent, Blackbeard asked tentatively, "Where are you now, sir?"
Li Ming uttered two words: "Guess."
Blackbeard was speechless and smiled bitterly, "Your Excellency is still in the mood to joke now."
Li Ming remained silent.
Blackbeard didn't continue to talk nonsense and simply said, "What are you going to do about the Ruler of the Holy Elephant? They will never let Li Ming touch the Ruler of the Holy Elephant."
Li Ming said in a cold tone: "I'm going to ask them."
Blackbeard was slightly stunned: "What do you want to ask?"
"My student, doesn't even have the qualifications to inherit? Or do I need to perform even better to protect him?"
Blackbeard's heart skipped a beat. He knew, of course, that the problem was not the so-called inheritance of the Hammersmith.
The Hammersmith has been gone for so many years, and his property has long been divided up. Now all that is left is an old elephant and a hammer, or perhaps a remnant of his reputation.
The old elephant is highly intelligent and no one can command it. The hammer is nowhere to be found. Now these unfounded things are not enough to cause an imperial civilization to go to war.
They were concerned about another point: why did the Hammersmith disappear? Did he find something before he disappeared?
Especially for the Xingyuan Empire.
If Qinglong takes the initiative to contact those people, there is no guarantee that they will not reach an agreement to allow Li Ming to participate in the review fairly.
If Li Ming is really recognized, the things can be taken away, but some information can be left behind.
But for people like them, it doesn't work.
"Mr. Qinglong..." Blackbeard suggested, "I suggest you don't get involved with them..."
Li Ming immediately interrupted: "If you have any ideas, just say it directly."
"Alas..." Blackbeard sighed. "Look, according to our original plan, you and the other two Forge-level Mechanics were to reveal the truth. But now the Sacred Elephant of Domination has appeared. Apart from its words, anyone else's testimony regarding the whereabouts of the Forge Master is untenable."
"So, if Li Ming can really gain the recognition of the Holy Elephant, can it..."
Blackbeard stopped talking at that point. Li Ming sneered inwardly. This group of people really took things for granted.
If he was really recognized, regardless of whether the mechanical elephant listened to him or not, even if it did, saying such words in public would be a great offense to the Xingyuan Empire.
Before, when the three star-casting mechanics pointed out the problem, at least there was someone to share the firepower. But this time, there was no one to share the firepower.
"Don't you think this is too much, sir?" Li Ming asked back.
Blackbeard smiled bitterly, who knew the plan would turn out like this.
In their plan, exposing this incident was an important turning point, and subsequent larger plans were led to it.
Of course, the subsequent plans are just taking advantage of this public opinion, and have no direct causal relationship with exposing the Xingyuan Empire. However, after all, it has been promoted for many years, and it would be a pity if there is no success.
Li Ming also felt something was wrong. Blackbeard had given him the impression that the pioneers had been planning this for years and were bound to severely damage the Xingyuan Empire in one fell swoop. This was an extremely important turning point.
But he now felt that even if this plan might fail, Blackbeard was only a little hasty, not to the point of hysteria.
Is it because my mentality is too stable, or is there some other reason?
"Do you have a way to let Li Ming come into contact with the Holy Elephant?" Thinking of this, Li Ming turned and asked again.
Blackbeard's tone was shocked. "If your Excellency is willing, we can ask a master craftsman to come forward and make this happen."
"Ask the master craftsman to come forward?" Li Ming was slightly shocked when he heard this.
But Blackbeard added, "The God of Creation has always been committed to discovering outstanding machinist talents and maintaining the overall honor of the Machinists' Association. He is willing to come forward, so there is at least a chance."
It is not clear whether his explanation was an excuse or the truth.
"In addition, regardless of success or failure, we will provide corresponding assistance and invite you to join the Pioneer Council."
Upon hearing this, Li Ming couldn't help but narrow his eyes.
