Chapter 466: Ruins
The fortress where everyone was just now was destroyed. Mikhail just raised his hand, and a warship floated over silently.
Gonzalez, who was ignored by everyone, has adjusted himself, calmed down, and followed the three people.
As soon as they boarded the ship, Mikhail turned to Gonzales and said, "Notify the three major civilizations that everyone is here. We will go and meet them now."
Gonzales nodded expressionlessly. Reynolds glanced at him with a sly look, a glint in his eye, and sneered, "You guys are really moving fast. You're almost at the coordinates."
Mikhail shook his head, data streams flowing in his eyes.
Outside the porthole, ripples like water waves appeared in the void, as if a curtain was slowly being lifted, and large warships appeared in neat rows, like huge mountains of steel.
The metal shell of the ship reflected a dazzling light under the illumination of the light. The muzzle at the front was sinister, and energy light was faintly flowing through it.
The hull is covered with densely packed portholes and sensors, flashing with various colors of light.
The two men's mechanical army is hidden here, and the battleship is only a part of it, and a very small part at that.
Giant mechanical squids are interspersed among the ships, with thick mechanical tentacles spanning thousands of kilometers and covered with heavy metal armor.
There are also a large number of kilometer-sized giant structures, with different functions and carrying different instruments and equipment. Various types of combat mechanical bodies cover this star field, densely packed, with almost no end in sight, like a stretch of galaxy.
Li Ming stood in front of the porthole, and his heart was filled with waves.
With his current rate of development, it shouldn't be long before he has a mechanical army of this terrifying scale.
These two master craftsmen naturally also possessed a folding space specifically for storing mechanical bodies, but the space inside the Red River Star Stream was unstable and problems could easily arise, so they had no choice but to use this large-scale marching method.
Li Ming did not see the X-level mechanical body cast by the two men, and did not know where it was hidden.
"Let's go." Mikhail waved his hand, and the huge team entered the co-orbital navigation state, built a unified shield, turned into streams of light, and disappeared in this star field.
It is not safe to navigate inside the Red River Star Stream, but the two master craftsmen have been here many times and have various detection equipment.
The captured parameters can be used to predict void dark currents, electromagnetic anomaly areas, and even space collapse areas in advance...
The sailing speed was extremely fast. After just over ten days, they entered the violent current area.
At this point, even with the background of the two master craftsmen, they did not dare to perform jump navigation, but switched to propulsion navigation mode, and the trajectory of the tail flame was like a shooting star.
"Magnificent and beautiful..." Li Ming stood in front of the porthole. The advantage of the small vest was that he could express his feelings freely.
The interstellar wonders in the storm zone are far beyond the reach of the outer areas. They seem to be sailing in a strange stream of light.
You can see a huge interstellar crack that stretches for tens of millions of kilometers, like a hideous mouth of the universe, with bright light flashing on the edge. Those are the brilliant sparks produced by the crazy surge of energy and the fierce collision of matter.
The vortex-shaped cloud of high-energy particles, with light produced by its high-speed movement, is like a bright star, illuminating the surrounding dark void.
"Another space-time distortion domain..." An area at the very edge of the fleet suddenly exploded, causing the surrounding space to distort and deform, swallowing up thousands of warships.
It was a red, blue and yellow area that suddenly appeared, irregular. From a distance, it contrasted with the interstellar rift, forming a breathtaking picture.
This space-time distortion domain appeared extremely abruptly, and even the two master craftsmen could not completely avoid it.
"It is indeed magnificent, but unfortunately also full of dangers." Reynolds' voice sounded behind him.
"Sir..." Li Ming took a half step back and slightly turned sideways.
"Can you still contact your teacher?" Reynolds asked curiously.
"Sure." Li Ming nodded. "Do you need to talk to the teacher?"
"No need." Reynolds was quite surprised. "Qinglong's communication technology, this is a storm zone, we can only achieve regional control."
"You're being too modest." Li Ming said modestly, "Teacher is just using a special method, and can only maintain a line."
Reynolds shook his head and walked away staggeringly. It didn't matter whether Qinglong could be contacted or not. Anyway, Li Ming definitely had the control over the mechanical body.
Its own combat intelligence is already sufficient. If that doesn't work, it can be temporarily integrated into their control system. It doesn't necessarily have to be operated by Qinglong.
After another two or three days, after passing through a cloud of particles, the scene before my eyes suddenly became clear.
This is an area that looks like an ordinary starry sky. It is pitch black, with no visible boundaries, and only dots of light flashing from time to time.
Not far away are the fleets of the three major civilizations. Compared with the two master craftsmen, they are much smaller in scale and obviously do not have the ability to undertake frontal combat. They should only be assisting in exploration.
A little further away, there is a hazy area.
It was difficult for Li Ming to describe the feeling. It was like seeing a block of pixels, which looked particularly abrupt in the space area, as if it did not exist in the universe.
The mechanical legions of the two master craftsmen dispersed, and a large number of mechanical bodies flew out of the warship, stacked layer upon layer, surrounding the surroundings.
Li Ming saw the so-called Giant God Soldier, which was indeed eye-catching. The giant was nearly ten thousand meters tall, with a rough and bold mechanical structure. The huge metal components were spliced together. There was no sense of delicate decoration, but it was full of primitive and wild beauty of power.
Its appearance is out of tune with the other mechanical bodies under Reynolds' command, and it can also be miniaturized.
Each side sent out a warship to dock in the central area, and a total of nearly ten X-level life forms gathered together.
"Li Ming?"
The two sides had not yet had any form of communication about the ruins of the Holy Spirit Civilization. Costat looked at Li Ming who was following behind Reynolds, and a look of astonishment appeared on his face.
X-level life forms of various expressions and races also cast their gazes over, expressing scrutiny and surprise.
Except for Claude, he looked indifferent, having anticipated Li Ming's appearance.
Obviously, Gonzalez did not tell anyone else about Li Ming's situation.
Li Ming remained silent. Except for the three Kostats, the remaining few had strength comparable to or even greater than Barbaro's.
"Why is it you? Where is your teacher?" Costat asked with a restrained expression.
"He came on behalf of Qinglong." Reynolds said lightly.
"He represents Qinglong?" Dius's eyes swept over Li Ming, and his soft voice was filled with confusion. "Has Qinglong lost his mind? Why did he send him here?"
Costat frowned slightly. They only knew from Gonzalez that everyone had gathered, and subconsciously thought that Qinglong had arrived with his men.
Turns out it was Li Ming who came on his behalf?
The atmosphere was subtle, and everyone present was more or less confused. They looked at Gonzalez who was walking straight towards Claude with questioning eyes.
This is a super seed with a development potential of level 60. At such a young age, it is already an A-level life form. Its future is immeasurable.
He sent him to take risks like this. How confident was Qinglong? Did he really think that no one would dare to attack his students?
Kramer said nothing, but kept looking at Li Ming, his eyes filled with inexplicable meaning.
This is a rare opportunity, perhaps I can get some experimental materials from Li Ming.
"This Lord Qinglong is really unexpected..." Someone suddenly spoke up. He was a man from the empire named Cedric.
"It's a pity that I didn't get a chance to see if he really lived up to his reputation this time."
"You guys aren't here to discuss this, are you?" Mikhail said calmly. "Let's get down to business."
Everyone restrained their expressions and looked away from Li Ming. They were a little surprised that Qinglong didn't come, but for them, it was even a good thing, as the opponent's strength was further weakened.
There was only a figure standing behind Deus, with a suspicious look on his face, his eyes wandering over Li Ming, "Why do I feel like this guy's life breath is a little strange..."
"I know you've explored the ruins of the Holy Spirit Civilization more than once, so most places are probably no longer of any value." Costat got straight to the point. "So, I hope you can take us directly to those unexplored areas."
Mikhail's face darkened slightly, but he had guessed almost the same thing when he came.
This group of people definitely don't want to waste time. Ordinary areas are of no value to them, so the best option is to stick to them.
Of course, they could just ignore everything and let the three major civilizations fight with their lives.
But by the time I come here again, the Machinists Association will probably have been dismantled.
This time it happened to be a good opportunity, and perhaps they could get something out of it. Next time, the three major civilizations would definitely not take them seriously.
"How are things distributed?" Mikhail's question went straight to the point.
"It should be divided equally into four parts, depending on its value," Dius added. "Also, what you have earned alone does not need to be distributed."
"The remaining areas should be the forging hammers, as well as the places you've been unable to handle many times. If we work together, we'll have more control."
Li Ming listened quietly while they were working together to push the map. In this way, the probability of any tricks would be greatly reduced.
But it is also quite reasonable. This place is not a virgin land. It has been visited more than ten or twenty times. A little bit of exploration is not very meaningful.
Mikhail's expression softened slightly, and he nodded, "In that case, we have no objection."
"Let's go." Crow couldn't wait any longer.
The parties reached an agreement and then began to prepare. The large-scale mechanical combat group brought by the two master craftsmen was naturally not intended to explore the ruins of the Holy Spirit civilization, but to intimidate the three major civilizations.
The force displayed is not for the purpose of taking action, but for the purpose of refraining from taking action.
Only a part of the mechanical bodies were dispatched, and the most critical X-level mechanical bodies followed, and the same.
The three major civilizations only brought part of their teams, and then they boarded spaceships and carefully approached the blurred area.
As it approached, the normal interstellar magnification phenomenon did not occur. Until it got close, it seemed that the size did not change much.
"…The outermost part of the ruins is a space-time defense barrier. This is a space-time isolation defense system, but it has been damaged due to the long distance. We have only found one accessible area."
Mikhail briefly introduced himself and said in a deep voice, "We are about to begin the journey. No matter what happens, I hope everyone will not take any action."
His tone was solemn as he controlled the warship and found an almost imperceptible gap on the side.
Sail in at an extremely slow speed.
There was hazy fog on both sides, and it didn't look lethal.
But Mikhail and Reynolds were both extremely nervous. "...Once the speed exceeds 300km/h, space-time distortion will occur..."
If I smash my hammer into this area, will I be able to kill everyone on this boat?
Li Ming looked at the hazy fog outside the porthole and thought subconsciously in his heart.
Everyone was also extremely alert, staring closely at Reynolds and Mikhail.
As x-level life forms at the top of the food chain, they rarely put their lives in the hands of others.
"bite--"
An imperceptible sound was heard, and Claude's face changed slightly.
Li Ming turned around expressionlessly. He felt a slight sting in his neck, but it didn't break his defense. "What are you doing, sir?"
"Crow!" Reynolds shouted in a deep voice, "Don't seek death!"
Qinglong was quite well prepared. Claude calmed down and said indifferently, "Nothing."
Li Ming frowned slightly. When had he ever offended the Star Alliance?
The main combat system has not been taken down, but it has been replaced with a [Ghost Human Skin]. This kind of defensive posture is not afraid of anyone.
It took them three full days to cross this area, and everything before them suddenly opened up.
They came to a gray space filled with a strange black gas that flowed slowly like a ghost, sometimes gathering into clumps, sometimes dispersing into threads.
Below was an endless expanse of steel ruins, shrouded in black fog in the distance, making it difficult to see clearly.
Those once majestic buildings are now in ruins, with huge steel beams twisted and deformed, and broken metal plates scattered everywhere, like a doomsday scene.
The ground was littered with traces of brutal battle. Huge craters, charred black at the edges, were scattered across the area. Energy beams left crisscrossing the ground, shattering it into fragments.
The huge mechanical wreckage stood tall, and various unknown parts were scattered on the ground, reflecting a dim luster in the weak light.
Crackling——
Sparks flew from the spacecraft's control panel, and the various display screens were blurry. Mikhail said indifferently, "The metal elements in the air account for over 40%. Your lifeforms, please wear breathing apparatus."
Everyone was attracted by this doomsday-like scene. After stepping out of the spaceship, they were overwhelmed by the desolate and dilapidated atmosphere, and there was also an inexplicable sense of oppression.
"The energy inertia in this place is very strong..." Cedric said, as various elemental powers surged in his hands. "It will more or less affect your strength."
"Strange, the time remaining on these materials is very short, no more than a thousand years." Dius casually scattered a few symbols and frowned after receiving feedback.
"The time molecules in this area are locked." Mikhail said.
Time molecules... Li Ming pondered in his heart. This is a higher-level application of the time zone. The primary time application can only stagnate or reverse the entire time within a certain range.
A more advanced level is the ability to specify certain items that are completely unaffected by the flow of time in regular area time.
As he was thinking about it, Li Ming raised his finger with a strange look on his face, which was almost what he expected.
For him, this area was a huge treasure trove of metal energy. Just by moving his fingers around, he absorbed a lot of metal energy.
