Chapter 449 Control Conditions: 20 Billion Metal Energy
"Could this guy be... Qinglong?" Barbaro felt sad and lost all desire to fight.
According to his original estimate, with the strength Qinglong showed last time, defeating the opponent should not be a big problem.
Even if he has hidden strength, even if he has Anduin's strength, he can still escape unscathed.
But now, the person hasn’t been seen yet, and the arm is gone. What’s the point of fighting?
"Qinglong's territory, Qinglong's base, who else could it be if not him?" Anduin had a complicated expression and was also frightened in his heart.
"He...could it be that he had discovered us a long time ago and was deliberately trying to intimidate us?" Barbarol couldn't help but say.
Anduin glanced at him and could see that Barbaroer had lost all desire to fight. In this mood, it was easy to overthink things.
"Not really..." Anduin shook his head. "Looking at the ruins around us, I suspect something has gone haywire. To prevent excessive damage, they've confined the energy to this area."
His speculation was reasonable. Barbaroel looked around and breathed a sigh of relief.
"However, it is precisely this kind of coincidence that allows us to glimpse the true nature of the Azure Dragon." Anduin said solemnly, "This guy is too secretive. He always reveals just enough strength to resolve the crisis at hand."
"He can create this kind of space-time matrix and withstand such energy fluctuations. No wonder the Empire invited him."
Although Anduin didn't say it, he was curious about the situation of the Azure Dragon, so he allowed Barbaro to provoke him.
His original intention was to play the role of a good guy. If the situation was not right, he would jump out and win Qinglong's favor. However, the current situation was beyond his expectations.
………
"Fortunately, there are more back-up plans..."
In the core area, Li Ming was still in shock. Tan Wei was as clean as new, and his whole body was wrapped in golden light.
Before, he could easily melt the energy of the metal shell that enhanced his own defense, but now he finds it difficult to break through the thin energy shield on his surface.
He was looking at an item in the control system [Life Power Core - S-Class (Severely Damaged)]
Its ability is - [Source of Immortality: After suffering fatal damage, the controlled object will suffer severe trauma, erasing the damage to the body, restoring all physical values to peak state, and gaining a three-second [Immune] state.]
【Immunity: No damage will be caused by any type of damage.】
This is a special item that he upgraded a long time ago. Its original form is the [Mechanical Sub-Heart], and it is also the control object in the main combat system that replenishes physical strength.
However, due to his style of doing things and various other reasons, this ability has never been stimulated until today.
Three seconds of [immunity] is equivalent to an invincible golden body, but three seconds cannot last long in this continuous explosion of terrifying energy.
However, the time and space lock in this area also affected the [Life Power Core], causing the [Immunity] that was originally only able to last for three seconds to be affected.
As the flow of time and space was slowed down, it surged to more than thirty or forty seconds, helping him survive the most terrifying period of the outbreak.
It can be regarded as a negative halo turned into a positive halo. If the level is too high, it may not be affected by the time lock.
What surprised him most was that [Source of Immortality] even reshaped the Tank Guard.
Maybe it's because of the influence of the possession ability, he is the tank guard, and the tank guard is him, which can be regarded as a linkage of abilities, saving a lot of metal energy.
After all, the explosion just now completely annihilated the tank. Not to mention repairing it, not even any wreckage was left.
"Repairing the [Life Power Core] is relatively cheap. Even if it is severely damaged, it will only cost 90 million to repair." Li Ming has already started thinking.
"What we are exposed to now are all very strange things, and I am afraid there will be more similar things."
"We can upgrade the [Life Power Core] to strengthen this ability, just in case. If it's upgraded to Level X, I wonder if [Immunity] will continue to last longer, or if there will be new changes."
He still had time to think about the future because he noticed that the energy intensity around him was gradually calming down and weakening quickly.
Unaffected by the time lock, this high-intensity burst will not last long.
He looked at the black barrier outside and couldn't help but sigh. This thing was indeed powerful. The explosion just now even penetrated multiple layers of space, but it was firmly confined to this area.
"Huh..." The crimson light around him gradually subsided, and he then realized that there was a faint golden light wandering in the black symbol shield that enveloped the surroundings.
"What is that thing?" He was confused and was about to take a look when he paused and the golden light shield on his body disappeared.
The duration of [Immunity] has expired, but the remaining energy intensity no longer poses a threat to him.
"Hmm?" Feeling something strange in his heart, Li Ming suddenly turned his head and saw a red object flashing with light in the dark realm not far away.
"There's something else?" Li Ming's mind was slightly shaken. He tried to rush forward, and after slowly floating over, he grabbed it in his hand and was actually able to control it.
[Oath-Keeping Stone - Consumable Type: The ultimate creation of the Time Zero Clan.
Control conditions: 20 billion metal energy
Control Ability - Trinity: Control the other two fragments at the same time and perform [Trinity].
How much? Twenty billion metal energies!
Li Ming's throat rolled. It seemed that this thing was the core.
It was the [Trinity] again, but he had no control over it and couldn't see the specific instructions.
But he didn't need to guess what the other two things were. They must be the Virgin Mary and the Prophet.
"I guess there's also the Mother's Stone and the Prophet's Stone?"
But what exactly is the purpose of this trinity?
I've never heard of the Time Zero Clan...
Li Ming couldn't help but think about it, and even tried to absorb the metal material, but found that he couldn't absorb it.
This was the first time he had encountered such a situation. Logically speaking, anything that could be controlled could basically be recovered.
As he was thinking about it, he suddenly realized that the time lock nearby had disappeared.
Looking up, I saw that the black symbolic light shield collapsed and did not gather together again, but disintegrated in the universe. It had obviously reached its limit.
At the same time, a golden light shot into the distance and landed in the hands of a man.
"Anduin?"
The moment he saw the other person clearly, Li Ming's mind raced, and he silently grasped the oath-keeping stone in his hand.
The starry sky around him was boiling, and the area where Li Ming was located seemed to have been dug out from the universe with a big spoon, like a small black hole.
Quiet and profound.
Unlike in the past, the universe does not repair itself, or the rate of self-repair is very slow.
"It has penetrated the Eternal Abyss." Anduin was surprised and hesitated for a moment. Then he raised his hand and a large number of symbols emerged, covering the area. Like needle and thread, they outlined and intertwined, slowly repairing it.
After all, I came here uninvited, so I have to show my attitude.
"Your Excellency Qinglong..." He took the initiative to send out mental fluctuations, looking at him vaguely.
It’s this mecha again. How much does Qinglong like this type of mecha?
He saw at a glance that with the strength of this mecha, it was impossible to withstand the violent energy in the black light ball.
The golden barrier should be another means of defense.
"And Barbaroer?" Li Ming did not respond at first. His gaze slid from Anduin to Barbaroer behind him. His left arm was cut off, and granulation tissue had sprouted at this moment, repairing rapidly.
These two people came without notice and had no good intentions. He had no connection with these two people, so he immediately assumed something bad was going on.
Both of these guys are quite powerful. Barbaro has already embarked on the ultimate path. Conservative estimates show that his normal energy level must exceed 300X.
This was his strongest attack, and it was difficult to break through the defense.
Not to mention Anduin, one of the ten members of the United Organization of Higher Life Forms, whose strength is probably even stronger than Barbaroer.
He couldn't beat either of the two guys in front of him.
Li Ming was alert, but he also felt something was wrong, especially Barbaroer, who looked at him with a bit of evasion and guilt.
Anduin also looked very solemn. He took action to repair the void, which clearly showed his attitude and that he had no ill intentions.
"They seem to have misunderstood something. Did they see the black ball of light that just erupted?"
Li Ming roughly understood it in his mind, and he glanced at Barbaro's missing broken arm again, feeling a little relieved.
During the brief moment when both parties appeared, no one spoke. It was not until Li Ming figured out what was going on that he sent out a mental wave, indifferent and calm: "I didn't expect to see you two so unexpectedly."
"This..." Anduin said with a wry smile, then turned sideways and said, "It's mainly because Barbaroel strongly requested to come and meet with Your Excellency..."
Barbaroer looked at Anduin in astonishment, but felt an extremely strong sense of being watched.
The mecha stared at him, a wave of spiritual energy spreading through it. "Oh? It's Master Barbaroer. I wonder why you've come?"
"I..." Barbaro's expression quickly subsided, and he said in a deep voice, "I came here this time to ask Your Excellency Qinglong to help me forge a weapon."
Anduin looked at him in surprise.
"Forging weapons?" Li Ming remained indifferent. "Really? Why didn't you inform me in advance?"
Barbaroer said solemnly, "I don't really like using these kinds of technology. I think it's more sincere to talk face to face."
Anduin shook his head. Although it was unexpected, it was also expected.
He had been in contact with Barbarole for a long time. Although this guy was rather reckless in daily life, he was actually quite clever.
Otherwise, he would not have been involved with certain people and come to test Qinglong.
"It's really rare to see someone like you." Li Ming didn't comment, but raised his head slightly. The metal debris and ruins around him were absorbed to form a temporary platform.
The three of them landed on it, Anduin opened the air shield, and the atmosphere was subtle.
"Since you asked me to make weapons, I wonder if you brought the materials?" A slightly indifferent voice came from the mecha.
"Of course I did." Barbaroel was calm, his left arm already growing tender limbs. He twisted the ring on his right finger, and the space became chaotic.
Crash--a large number of metal chunks fell out and scattered all over the ground, in different colors and sizes.
They really did bring it... Li Ming was surprised. He lowered his head and took a look. It really wasn't an ordinary material. It was a Stygian Iron alloy, a Dragon Blood alloy, and a quantum crystal...
These are all extremely precious metal materials, enough to make X-level weapons.
"There is still a part that cannot be placed in the folding space and is on the way." Barbarol picked up the smart terminal from a pile of things on the ground, shook it, connected to the unstable interstellar network, and retrieved the order.
Is it true?
Anduin scanned the screen and was shocked. It was an order from Giant Shield Company. The insurance premium alone was more than 800 million star coins. The total value was estimated to be no less than 80 billion star coins.
This guy said that he was challenging Qinglong, but he also made two preparations in secret. If he couldn't beat him, he would say that he was here to make custom weapons for him?
Li Ming was silent for a moment before he said meaningfully, "Your Excellency is quite well prepared."
Barbaroer's expression was calm. "I have conflicts with the other two Godsmiths and I dislike them, but I do admire you. So after preparing the materials, I dragged Anduin over here."
Anduin twitched the corner of his mouth and remained silent.
"I won't be taking on weapons manufacturing for now." Li Ming shook his head. Barbaroel looked regretful. "What a pity..."
Just as he opened his mouth to say two words, he was interrupted by Li Ming. "But since you have come all this way, I can't let you go back empty-handed. I have a metal spear in my hand, the one Ryan used. I think you won't refuse it, right?"
Ryan's gun?
Barbarole thought that he had never used a gun, and the gun was tailor-made for Ryan by the Empire. The materials used were incompatible with his own energy properties, so it could not exert its maximum power.
Moreover, it is Ryan's weapon, belonging to the Empire, so there might be trouble.
Barbaroer subconsciously wanted to refuse, but when he sensed some energy fluctuations, he fell silent again.
Qinglong is trying to force a sale.
Anduin also realized this, and no one would believe what Barbaroer said.
The total value of these materials of Barbarole is no less than 100 billion star coins, and this is the theoretical market price.
There are many materials that cannot be obtained through regular channels and require a lot of favors.
Barbaro had accumulated these materials for a long time. If he hadn't had a bad relationship with the two master craftsmen, he would have been able to forge them long ago.
If Barbaroer refused, Qinglong might break up with him, but Anduin thought it was normal. Barbaroer had impure motives and would naturally have to pay the price.
"That gun seems pretty good..." Barbaroer was silent for a long time before he spoke reluctantly.
Although I have never used this kind of weapon, it would be okay to practice it when I get back. As for the incompatibility of energy properties, there is nothing I can do about it. After all, it is an X-level weapon and its hardness is quite good.
Barbarole also knew that he was in the wrong. It was obvious that he was no match for Qinglong. The energy intensity just now could directly annihilate him.
"You have good eyes." Li Ming then smiled and said, "Come on, both of you, go down and sit down and take a look at the Spear of Annihilation."
Barbarole looked constipated. He really shouldn't have agreed to that guy.
Anduin then spoke, tentatively, "I didn't expect that Your Excellency Qinglong's mastery of spacetime is so profound, and that he can even arrange the spacetime isolation matrix at will."
The space-time isolation matrix? So the blockade has reached that level.
Li Ming was more and more surprised. He was in the core and had no idea about the situation outside.
Sensing Anduin's probing, he said frankly, "I'm sorry. I was conducting an experiment, but I couldn't control it properly. There was a minor accident. I can only do my best to limit the damage to a small area."
As expected, it was out of control. Anduin was not surprised and felt that Barbarol's trip was not in vain. By accident, he actually found out the clue of the Azure Dragon.
Only in such unexpected circumstances can Qinglong's true strength be revealed.
