Chapter 444 Upgrade [Heart of Talos] [Dimension Walker]
Blosser did not dare to delay and spoke:
"Interstellar, there exists a terrorist organization calling itself the Holy Revolutionary Army. Under the banner of revolution, they are causing unrest in various civilizations, causing great harm to many." Blosser finished his preface before continuing:
"The second proposal is whether to conduct a large-scale crackdown on the Holy Revolutionary Army."
As Blosser finished speaking, a low murmur arose, and the many supervisors sitting nearby all looked a little surprised, obviously they didn't know about this matter either.
The expressions of the ten people in the field, except for Gust, changed slightly.
Adam, you are amazing.
After the establishment of the United Organization of Higher Life Forms, the first thing it did was to eliminate the Holy Revolutionary Army, which was a thorn in its side.
Although Li Ming was surprised, he was not shocked. No additional personnel would be recruited in a short period of time, and the board members would not be replaced within five years.
During this period, even if the United Organization of Higher Life Forms has its own little tricks, Adam will definitely be able to reap the benefits that come with it.
"Everyone, you can start voting." Blosser said in a low voice.
The ten people were silent and did not move. He wanted to say something but hesitated, but did not dare to urge them.
Gustav said indifferently, "Does the meeting host also have the right to propose a motion?"
Blosser was stunned, his face suddenly turned pale, and his voice stammered: "This...this..."
Why is it different from what we agreed?
Li Ming's eyes moved slightly. This Lord Gustav is really interesting.
If the first proposal was to express an attitude, then the current one has a tendency to be confrontational.
"Don't make this mistake again next time," Gust said calmly, as if offering only a warning. "Now we can vote. I agree to wipe out the Holy Revolutionary Army."
"I refuse." Anatoly smiled and shook his head. "Whether or not it's a terrorist organization isn't defined by the Empire."
"I agree," Perkins hummed, as if he had an old grudge against the Holy Revolutionary Army. "These guys should have been wiped out long ago."
This second proposal has already caused disagreements. The Holy Revolutionary Army has spread everywhere and has connections with many higher life forms in the interstellar space.
"I agree..."
"I agree..."
Voices rang out one after another, and of the seven people left, five voted in favor, bringing the total to ten votes.
Only Li Ming and Anduin did not express their opinions. It didn't matter whether they expressed their opinions or not, as they had enough votes.
This is the first thing that must be promoted after the establishment of the United Organization of Higher Life Forms, and it is also equivalent to a battle to establish prestige.
"If the votes exceed ten, we, the members who voted in favor, will take relevant actions. Those who have not expressed their opinions or refused, please cooperate and do not hinder us." Gust's tone remained calm.
"Among you, there are new friends and old friends. We will work together for a long time, and I hope it will always be there."
The other nine people were silent. Gust said to himself, "Do you have any new proposals? If not, we can end this now."
Blosser's throat rolled over, and just as he was about to announce the end of the meeting, a calm voice sounded: "I have..."
Suddenly, everyone's eyes looked over.
I... Blosser had a mouthful of blood in his mouth and his heart was in his throat.
What is Qinglong doing again?
No one told him that this was just a routine meeting. Are these guys really going to make decisions on interstellar affairs?
Li Ming's expression was calm. "It's about the Mechanics Association. The interstellar world is in turmoil because of this, and we have an obligation to calm this matter down."
Everyone had different expressions. Everyone knew that Qinglong was a master craftsman, and they all understood the intention behind this proposal.
But they all seemed to be thinking that if Qinglong could gain benefits for himself, then so could they.
Fuck! Brosser panicked and said, "Sir Qinglong, all our proposals must be followed, and the premise is that we do not interfere with the internal affairs of other civilizations."
"The Machinists' Association's matter is a matter of civilized self-inspection. We have no right to adjudicate it."
"However, wiping out the Holy Revolutionary Army seems to be an internal affair of civilization, right?" Anatoly said slowly.
"This is different..." Blosser said, sweat dripping from his forehead. "The Holy Revolutionary Army is a terrorist organization. Every civilization has the responsibility to eliminate it, and the Interstellar Alliance is responsible for uniting all parties."
It was clearly a double standard, but Anatoly didn't say anything, and no one else had the idea of supporting it.
When it comes to the Mechanics Association, it's not just the major civilizations that can get a piece of the pie.
"Forget it, I withdraw the proposal." Li Ming said suddenly again. He was just trying it out slightly, or just making a start, but he knew that the hope was slim.
Blosser spoke at the fastest speed: "Okay, okay, I declare that the first regular meeting of the Higher Life Forms United Organization has come to a successful conclusion. I hope everyone will not leak the content of the meeting!"
He had seen that Anatole was about to speak.
This dusk hermit, with a faint smile on his face, looked at Blosser and said lightly:
"Unfortunately, I was still thinking about establishing a general evolutionary organization to absorb life forms from all evolutionary levels..."
Blosser didn't dare to look up, shuddered, and made up his mind never to preside over this damn meeting again.
Many supervisors murmured in their hearts that this first regular meeting was not what they had imagined, and it seemed that it was not just a formality.
As the meeting ended, the virtual projections around gradually dissipated.
The lights in the room came on. Li Ming sat in his seat, and messages on his smart terminal kept ringing. He was pulled into various group chats.
The template for the plan to wipe out the Holy Revolutionary Army has been put into motion and has obviously been prepared long ago, with the call first being made at the official level.
Civilizations willing to conduct internal clearance operations will receive assistance from a coalition of higher life forms, similar to mercenaries.
This form relieves these civilizations of a major concern.
In the past, even if there were traces of the Holy Revolutionary Army's activities within the country, they would not dare to reach out to large civilizations unless they were in danger of overthrow.
It is easy to invite a god but difficult to send him away. After he comes, he insists on building a military base in your territory. Will you agree or not?
"This organization started out as a group of high-level thugs. The Holy Revolutionary Army might be in trouble..." Li Ming glanced at the action plan, but the Holy Revolutionary Army had nothing to do with him. Even if he wanted to gain benefits from it, it was not now.
This news cannot be concealed. I'm afraid someone has already informed the Holy Revolutionary Army. It depends on how they respond.
Interstellar transfers, even with star gates, are all measured in months. Although the plan has been preliminarily determined, it can only be implemented slowly, and this process will not be short.
After the regular meeting, the organization was successfully established. Everyone was very restrained during the first contact, and no conflicts of interest could be seen. But it is hard to say what will happen in the future.
He also felt that Adam could not control this organization at all. In three to five years, this organization would get out of control before he let go.
The three major civilizations combined can barely suppress it.
Of course, it is a united organization of higher life forms after it has been fully developed.
"After I die, I won't care about the flood." Li Ming sighed secretly.
This is probably what Adam was thinking. In order to completely control the entire empire, he would not hesitate to release this behemoth.
"I'd better just focus on my development..." Li Ming shook his head, returned to his room, switched to the development system, and equipped himself with various auxiliary equipment.
Gulp—after swallowing the S-level development potion, his body gradually boiled, and energy particles enveloped him.
…
At the same time, in another chaotic star gap.
On a certain planet, a huge palace was suspended in the sky, and the ground was covered with densely packed towers, with runes flashing and energy surging.
Anduin walked out of a room in the temple, his purple robe dragging on the ground, his face thoughtful.
Suddenly, my heart skipped a beat and I felt a darkness beneath my body. I looked up and found that Barbarole had stood in front of me without me noticing.
"How did the meeting go?" Barbarole clasped his fists, looking quite unhappy.
"Just a routine matter." Anduin shook his head.
Barbaroel pressed, "What did you discuss?"
Anduin didn't want to say more, "Nothing."
"Heh..." Barbaro sneered, "Is it so secretive?"
Anduin was speechless. "I can't tell you directly. You'll probably hear the news after a while."
Hearing this, Barbaroer became even more dissatisfied. "Just tell me when you can join."
"There's no definite timeline..." Anduin didn't hide it this time, "but I don't think it'll be long. You can just take a bath in a star and that'll be enough."
Barbaroer frowned, "What status do you ten people hold?"
Anduin hesitated and said, "The board of directors has a voting system. All matters must be decided by the board of directors."
"Ha... I knew it." Barbaroel said with a look of unsurprising composure, "The ten of you already have the upper hand."
Anduin just shook his head, and Barbaroer urged, "The meeting is over. Can we set off now?"
Anduin stared at him and explained, "You still want to go? The board of directors won't be replaced for five years. Even if you defeat the Azure Dragon, you won't be allowed to take the position."
"Really?" Barbaroel said calmly, "Did they agree in the meeting what to do if a board member voluntarily withdraws during this period?"
Anduin suddenly became confused and surprised. This was indeed a loophole.
The Empire would not have failed to realize that it could take advantage of this loophole to replace the board members in advance, probably because it had failed to reach an agreement with other civilizations.
"If you don't go, I'll go by myself," Barbaroel urged.
"Why do you have to target Azure Dragon?" Anduin said helplessly, "He's a master craftsman after all. It's good to have a good relationship with him."
Barbaroer was honest: "Among the ten people, in terms of apparent strength, the only one I can beat is Qinglong."
"You said it was just the surface. Do you think Qinglong only has that mecha?" Anduin shook his head.
"What if?" Barbarole said, adding, "Only by defeating him can I guarantee a seat on the board."
"Who gave you that promise?" Anduin frowned. "Who told you to test the Azure Dragon?"
"Don't worry about it. If you don't want to go, I'll go by myself." Barbaroer was too lazy to talk any more nonsense and turned around and left.
Anduin thought for a moment and could only follow.
…
"The stuff finally arrived."
After receiving the news from Suzaku, Li Ming hurried out of the room and came to the warehouse.
Ulrich was here, and the hover transport aircraft was putting several metal boxes into storage.
"No need to put it into storage, just send it directly to my room." Li Ming rubbed his hands. It was the materials sent to him by the Holy Mother Church. They finally arrived.
"Yes." Ulrich nodded and quickly made arrangements. Li Ming casually asked, "How did this thing get here?"
"Giant Shield..." Ulrich looked up and said, "However, the shipping numbers on them are all forged, and the personnel sent here are just peripheral members, and their origins are unknown."
As expected, Li Ming nodded and watched the boxes being placed on the small anti-gravity transport vehicle, and then returned to the room.
After closing the door, Li Ming opened the box, which contained neatly arranged star marrow alloys. They had a deep and mysterious color, and the overall tone tended to be dark blue.
Occasionally, streaks of purple light would wander across its surface, as if absorbing all the bright light of the stars.
The texture is delicate and uniform, the surface is as smooth as a mirror, and it faintly reflects a dreamy glimmer, without a trace of flaws or lines.
When light from the room falls, it does not produce strong reflections like ordinary metals, but instead cleverly absorbs the light, making it more restrained.
High-grade alloys, each with its own unique properties, appear to be exquisite works of art and are the pinnacle of technological achievement.
Li Ming admired it for a while, then began to absorb the metal energy.
Soon, 300 million metal energies were absorbed, and the remaining metal energy exceeded 1 billion, reaching 1.2 billion.
“Upgrade, upgrade!”
Li Ming couldn't wait any longer and opened the control page. There was a piece of World Blood, so naturally he needed to upgrade the control object.
As for what to upgrade, he had already decided in his mind, naturally it was the core of his main combat system, the [Heart of Talos].
It only costs 60 million to control the [Heart of Talos], but with the upgrade of the World Blood, the demand has reached 1 billion metal energy.
A billion metal energies surged out, along with a portion of the world's blood, and poured into the Heart of Talos.
On the control page, the scarlet-yellow heart with black markings on its surface was gradually enveloped by the brilliant light and gradually became brighter. The markings on it also underwent subtle changes under the infiltration of the light.
As if endowed with new vitality and strength, the light continuously penetrates into every inch of the heart's texture, causing its internal structure to silently reshape and evolve, and then feed back to the surface.
The scarlet color gradually turns into golden yellow, and the black texture becomes more uniform, deeper, and more refined.
[Heart of Talos - X-level: The heart of a powerful life form from the deep dimensional world, possessing various strange abilities.
Control Effect: Star-Breaking Power
Control ability - Transplant: Can temporarily replace one's own heart, and convert the power blessing into one of speed, defense, and physical strength at will.
Control Ability - Dimension Walker: You can control part of the power of a certain dimensional world.
[Star-Breaking Power: Gain a hundred times the power]
The power blessing became a hundred times greater.
It is estimated that the infinite hammer is this blessing.
"It's this new ability, the ability to control dimensional power, that will allow me to find Chronoa..." Li Ming muttered. He was quite curious about what it would actually do.
But it was obviously impossible for him to go and play with Klonoa now.
As he thought about it, his heart suddenly moved and he directly activated his [Transplant] ability.
