Chapter 377 Hunting Dimensional Lifeforms
"Fuck, you really thought I was running away? I'm looking for my big brother!" Robin finally jumped out and said angrily, "This guy has been scaring me for almost a month. It pissed me off."
"Why...why weren't you wiped out?" The scarred man struggled, staring at Robin.
"What was erased?" Robin frowned.
The scarred man gritted his teeth and said, "You... leaked the secret and hired someone to interfere with the hunting process. Why weren't you... wiped out by the Supervisor?"
"Because he was threatened." A purple skull slowly floated out of Robin's backpack.
"Me? Threatened?" Robin became increasingly confused.
Snap!
The energy fluctuations on the scarred man's surface dissipated, and a similar purple skull floated out from the bag on his waist.
"Anchoring failed, jump failed, the heir is on the verge of extinction, wipe out!" The purple skull said in a cold voice.
Li Ming grabbed it with his quick eyes and hands. This thing was like a bomb, jumping in his mechanical palm, and purple light overflowed from the gap in his palm.
A string of data emerged from Robin's purple skull and quickly immersed itself in it. The agitation gradually stopped and returned to calm.
Li Ming opened his palm and found that the skull in his hand had gone out.
[Manager--Special Type: Intelligent mechanical bodies left behind by the Titans, they have been looking for successors.
Control conditions: 70 million metal energy
Control Ability - Selection: Designate a certain life form to participate in the Titan Trial.
Seventy million? More than what the housekeeper needed? Li Ming was slightly surprised.
"On the verge of extinction? Erase... erase?" The scarred man was struck by lightning, then laughed miserably, tears streaming down his face. "Haha... I thought it was carefully selected after all..."
“I didn’t expect that after failure, the first choice would be to erase it.”
Robin's expression changed and he silently clenched his fists.
Li Ming threw the scarred man to the ground and released his king form. The man's face was dull and his heart was dead.
Li Ming weighed the silent skull and asked, "How long will it take for this thing to recover?"
"Three months." The butler replied.
Upon hearing this, Li Ming stuffed it away directly. This thing would be of great use in the future.
Robin seemed to be deeply shocked and said bitterly: "Butler, if one day I also face such a situation, will you also wipe me out?"
Li Ming glanced at him and squatted beside the scarred man. "I have some questions."
The scarred man forced himself to stay calm and said in a deep voice, "Tell him to tell me why he was allowed to intervene without being stopped by the Supervisor."
"Logically speaking, the Overseer shouldn't allow him to come to you."
Li Ming looked at the butler; he was also curious about this question.
"There is a paramount instruction in our program. Except when the hunting program is activated, we must do everything we can to protect the safety of the successor under any circumstances. If we are in a dead end, we must ensure that the secret is not leaked."
The butler floated over, his voice gentle, "Li Ming has discovered my identity and is under Qinglong's threat. We cannot leave him, otherwise we will be hunted down."
"Qinglong's threat has been identified as the highest level so far. If I don't let him intervene, the safety of the heir may be endangered."
Li Ming was slightly surprised. Has this artificial intelligence learned to find its own bugs?
No, are you hinting at me?
Robin was silent. As expected... Li Ming knew everything. He had anticipated this and didn't care at the moment.
The scarred man's face was dazed. It took him a while to react. He stared at the butler, "You...you are not the same as my supervisor."
The butler responded: "It's all the same."
Li Ming then continued to interrogate. The scarred man was already disheartened and did not want to be tortured, so he answered every question.
About ten minutes later, Li Ming sent him on his way. Just like Robin, his purple skull also came to him when he was very young.
This was not his first hunt, he had already killed an heir and received a reward.
The combat armor on his body, the knife on his back, and the super-compressed hand cannon are all A-level weapons.
At the same time, after successfully hunting, his own skull devoured the opponent's skull.
So, the cost of control has increased to 70 million?
"Are you really selecting Terrax's successor?" Li Ming stood up and looked at the butler. "This method is a bit too cruel."
He then added, "If you don't answer me directly, I'm going to kill Robin."
Robin's mouth twitched.
As expected, the butler responded: "According to the known information, we are indeed selecting a successor to the Terrax civilization, but there can only be one final successor, and the weak have no chance."
"Have you been doing this all along? Or did you just start recently?" Li Ming asked.
"Our group is a revival from 30 years ago."
"Your batch? Are there more?" Li Ming asked in surprise. The guys who were selected all have great potential for development and it is impossible for them to be unknown.
“I don’t know.”
Li Ming pondered, "What exactly does it mean to inherit the Terrax civilization? It can't just be a name."
The housekeeper responded: "Unknown at this time."
Li Ming asked many more questions and got some clear answers, but there were still many unknowns.
Li Ming specifically asked about the Holy Castle left by Terrax, and found out that only when the heir becomes an X-level life form, corresponding to the transcendent-level Terrax, can the information be unlocked.
The Lord level is an S-level life form, the Transcendence level corresponds to an X-level life form, and as for the Domination level, it should be the ultimate life form.
"Tsk..." Li Ming frowned slightly. He estimated that even if he controlled and transformed the skull in his hand, it would be difficult to obtain relevant information.
This information was obtained from the universe through information state substitution. It was hidden in the universe by the Terrans long ago. The bound heirs and special substitution codes were indispensable.
But at worst, you still have the right to nominate for the [Trial of the Titan].
Li Ming also asked the butler what this [Titan Trial] meant.
It turned out that the housekeeper didn't even know about it. It was obvious that only after the permissions were unlocked to a very high level could relevant information be obtained.
"Sigh..." Robin had been listening nearby, and finally looked at the scarred man who had turned into a pool of blood and mud, and sighed: "Although I don't say it on the surface, I have always believed that I am one in a million in the galaxy."
"The result..." He shook his head, feeling discouraged.
Li Ming naturally had no interest in relieving the depression of a grown man, so he packed up his things and prepared to leave.
"Boss, where are we going?" Robin gathered his emotions and asked, "Back to the main universe?"
"No." Li Ming shook his head. The answer surprised Robin.
"Gather some things before going back, otherwise... I'll feel uneasy."
Robin didn't quite understand what Li Ming said, but he didn't care. Whether actively or passively, he could only stay by Li Ming's side.
As for what to collect?
It is naturally [super divine energy].
Li Ming has already made plans, this thing is equivalent to his trump card.
Apart from Ryan, Qinglong has never offended anyone, so logically no one should provoke him.
But you never know, there might be some idiots popping up, so be prepared for emergencies.
Just kill an S-level dimensional life form and it will be given to him. With his current strength, it shouldn't be difficult to kill an S-level dimensional life form... right?
After boarding the scar-faced man's spaceship, the two quickly left.
He was busy accumulating trump cards, but the aftermath caused by the central world had not subsided.
After the Empire's three announcements, the interstellar situation became increasingly turbulent.
A large number of mechanics scoffed at the imperial announcement, and the Holy Elephant Commander died to prove his determination. How could that be false?
Many senior mechanics also came out to protest.
Ulysses, the star-casting mechanic, even published a long article demanding severe punishment for the murderer.
Amidst the increasingly tense situation, the Mechanics Association announced three days later that it would temporarily close all branches of the Mechanics Association within the empire and cease all related activities.
Five days later, someone suddenly broke the news on the interstellar network that the remains of Terrax, ancient weapons, and a large number of crystals from dimensional worlds, which were of extraordinary value, had indeed been unearthed within the empire.
Some people claim that the first outpost of the Terrax civilization that came into contact with the main universe was within the Empire, which is why the Empire was able to prosper.
Seven days later, attacks on the imperial bases in the Sea of Stars continued one after another, and the death toll of imperial soldiers was said to have reached hundreds of thousands.
It was not until ten days later that Prince Ryan returned and wiped out an attack organization with thunder and lightning, destroying several planets, that this trend was slightly curbed.
But anyone with a discerning eye knows that this is drinking poison to quench thirst, and the hole has already been torn.
The greatest storm, fifteen days after Prince Ryan returned to the Starry Sea.
The sixteen galaxies on the empire's borders suddenly issued a joint statement claiming independence.
For a moment, the interstellar space was in an uproar. There was actually a demand for independence within the empire?
Is the empire really failing?
The successive pieces of information were all unfavorable to the empire, and everyone was predicting its downfall.
However, any discerning person can see that this is a time difference. There is almost no delay in the transmission of information between the stars, but it takes time to make plans and organize soldiers.
These actions had obviously been planned long ago, but the Empire's response was still being organized, which was caused by the bloatedness of large civilizations.
It seems that these are all disadvantages of the empire, but the empire just hasn't had time to react.
But the atmosphere created is quite real, and the entire Internet is full of news that is unfavorable to the empire.
This initially stimulated some brainless lower-level plunderers to actually rush into the empire.
For a time, the interstellar world was in turmoil.
…
"Why are all these dimensional beings so disgusting?"
This is a hazy and fuzzy illusory space, Li Ming was complaining in his heart.
Suddenly, the void began to ripple, like a ball of constantly flickering and changing light and shadow, with a vague and unstable shape, sometimes showing sharp edges and sometimes turning into soft curves.
sonorous——
Sparks appeared on the surface of the Mechanical King, and a brilliant light suddenly burst out.
Everything here is quantized and has extremely high uncertainty.
Its main organism can switch instantly between different quantum states, thereby achieving the ability to move instantly or travel through matter.
It may even cause quantum fluctuations in the surrounding matter, leading to temporary abnormalities in the physical properties of the object.
"I got you!"
Li Ming waited quietly. At a certain moment, the Mechanical King's huge hand grabbed out fiercely. The giant metal hand could shake the stars, and the powerful force caused the surrounding space to produce visibly distorted power.
Accompanied by a sharp cry, the big hand directly tore the quantum space apart, and brilliant energy light gushed out from the broken space cracks, like a doomsday picture.
The five fingers of the giant mechanical hand spread out, forming a vast cage that tightly enveloped the blurry light and shadow. The light and shadow struggled left and right within this cage, but could never break free from the irresistible power of the Mechanical King.
Li Ming tore it apart without any hesitation. If he had been a moment later, the other party would have disappeared.
The dimensional world roared, the quantum fluctuations became more and more violent, and several crystal clear crystals fell into Li Ming's hands.
"Seven... not bad..." Li Ming breathed a sigh of relief, switched the controlled object, broke through the dimensional barrier, and left here.
In the blink of an eye, they arrived at a calm and peaceful cloud. Entering the spaceship hidden in the cloud, Robin glanced at him and asked, "How is it this time?"
"It was barely successful." Li Ming was helpless. To be honest, he underestimated these dimensional life forms.
He wandered in the dimensional world for nearly two months and only found three S-level dimensional life forms.
In fact, two of the coordinates were provided by a mysterious friend, and he only found one himself.
And every battle required him to put in a lot of effort, and he had to fight many times to find the opponent's weaknesses.
Its own combat capability is okay, but as the main creature in the dimensional world, it is equivalent to the son of the world and enjoys the support of the entire dimensional world. Its standard configuration is infinite energy and an extremely terrifying recovery speed.
Coupled with the unique environment of each dimension, it is really difficult to deal with.
Especially the electromagnetic life form we encountered before, which was a natural nemesis of the Mechanical King. It took us nearly ten days to defeat it.
These three S-level dimensional life forms provided him with a total of twenty-three divine crystals, and he obtained two portions of [Super Divine Energy].
While absorbing divine energy, he habitually opened the smart terminal and quickly established a connection. Glancing at today's news, Li Ming raised his eyebrows: "The Federation has finally taken action, trade sanctions...tsk tsk..."
Robin didn't know why the internet was only available after Li Ming came back. He was too lazy to think about it and was a little surprised at the moment.
But after taking a look, he lost interest: "I thought they were going to just do it. What's this trade sanction?"
"Don't underestimate these actions." Li Ming shook his head. "This is a signal."
After routinely checking the news, I found that the major event in recent times was that over 1,300 civilizations in the Sea of Stars demanded that the Empire withdraw its troops and declared that Prince Ryan was a butcher demon.
The reason is that among the planets that Prince Ryan destroyed, one was a life planet with hundreds of millions of living things on it.
"When do we leave?" Robin asked casually. "We're running low on fuel. Do you want to find a temporary base?"
"It's time to go back to the main universe." Li Ming said abruptly. It had been more than half a year since he left the main universe.
Not long ago, Ulrich sent him a message saying that the first dividend from Trevor was currently being prepared and would arrive soon.
It was not supposed to happen so quickly, but news came from Qinglong's master craftsman that Trevor forced early dividends on the grounds of the end of the fiscal year, and took the initiative to increase the profit dividend by 5%.
Ulrich estimated that the amount of money was about 60 billion star coins. Li Ming had already instructed that after the money arrived, he would buy precious metals.
Robin was slightly surprised and said thoughtfully, "Then we need to find a larger dimension to station."
Li Ming nodded and opened the black hole network. Someone sent him a message with two words in the note - Abel.
