Chapter 488 My Teacher Will Be Invincible
The powerful aura surged, and immediately a large number of stable nodes exploded. In the turbulent area that was created with great difficulty, a violent torrent of energy was set off again.
Looking at the huge body hovering in the sky, everyone present was shocked and horrified.
"It's actually the Mechanical Holy Spirit..." Alvis's face was solemn, he had already seen the source of this method.
Dius couldn't help but look at it in astonishment, "Qinglong also knows the skills of the hammersmith?"
It turned out to be the Mechanical Holy Spirit. Kostat's face was gloomy. The power that Qinglong prepared for Li Ming was far stronger than they had imagined.
If they hadn't stopped earlier, they would probably have died without a burial place.
Qinglong lowered his head, and Li Ming felt that his whole body was filled with explosive power, and he had an unstoppable desire to vent.
If he had not been accustomed to mastering power far beyond his own ability for many years and was not familiar with this feeling, he would probably have lost control by now.
Even so, he felt an indescribable excitement. This Mechanical Holy Spirit did not disappoint him!
The current Mechanical Holy Spirit was created by integrating Tan Wei, Mikhail and Reynolds himself, the four X-class mechanical bodies under their command, and more than 400 million scattered mechanical bodies.
The ability of the [Holy Spirit Core] is to absorb mechanical bodies. Anyone who does not resist in the process will be absorbed.
It can even be said that in the later stages of fusion, as long as the mechanical body is within range and not too powerful, it will be forcibly accommodated into the body.
The reason why he did not fuse the mechanical guards later was because his mechanical guards were not x-class mechanical bodies, but only s-class mechanical bodies.
In this combat state, the Mechanical Holy Spirit does not enjoy any blessings, and it is useless to integrate the Mechanical Guards into it.
As for the appearance, it was just his bad taste, because during the fusion process, he found that the appearance could be manipulated at will, and was not fixed.
"This is... a mechanical... Holy Spirit!" Reynolds's voice trembled. "Qinglong actually possesses the technology of a mechanical Holy Spirit. Could Qinglong... be the forging hammer?"
"It's actually the Mechanical Holy Spirit..." Mikhail couldn't help but be stunned. He had discovered the clues during the fusion process, but he had always been suspicious. Only now could he be truly sure.
The two of them are also fusion materials and are currently inside the Mechanical Holy Spirit. Of course, they only have consciousness but no control.
Elsewhere, the flesh-and-blood spaceship was silent. Levenbeck, the Virgin Mary, and the Prophet all stared at the giant mechanical dragon on the screen in shock.
Even though the image was blurry, the enormous blue dragon was clearly visible.
"Mechanical Holy Spirit..." Levenback squeezed out a few words, all too familiar, his tone high and sharp, like anger, but also excitement: "I knew that the wreckage could not be him."
"Not only that, his technique seems to be even more advanced, and the integration process is very fast."
The prophet frowned: "Is this the Mechanical Holy Spirit?"
They had only heard that the Hammersmith had this method, but had never seen it. Even through the screen, they could feel a sense of oppression from the huge body.
Levenbeck's mood calmed down a bit, and he paced back and forth, his face flickering. "Reynolds and Mikhail's mechanical armies are quite impressive. They can easily defeat one of them together. It should be enough to get away."
"I just don't know whether I, as a teacher, should intervene."
However, Li Ming did not act rashly. After slightly adapting to the current power, his huge body that originally covered the sky and the sun quickly condensed, and in the blink of an eye it turned into a humanoid mechanical body about ten meters tall.
The surface still presents a cyan-gold color, bright and eye-catching, with smooth lines, smooth and rounded, without any edges or corners.
Although the Azure Dragon state is mighty and domineering, it is not really suitable for combat.
He moves his body, and his ability to control objects is driven by his physical strength, but the fused mechanical body itself has powerful energy support.
Now that he was moving, although the load was not small, by using the [Heart of Talos] and converting all of it into physical strength, he could sustain high-intensity combat for a long time.
"Qinglong?" Tandin stared at the mechanical holy spirit in front of him. He did not feel too much threat, but he did not act rashly again.
"I'm sorry, this is indeed an unexpected situation. I can't contact the teacher for the time being." Li Ming's mental fluctuations came, "But to some extent, I can fully represent him."
"It can also represent us." Mikhail and Reynolds' mental fluctuations almost overlapped.
"What do you want to do?" Tan Ding asked solemnly.
"It's not us who want to do something, it's you who want to do something." Li Ming responded, "There's no need to explain the current situation. You definitely won't let us leave easily. We're just trying to protect ourselves."
"For self-preservation." Alvis had already flown forward, his expression indifferent. "Even the Mechanical Holy Spirit can be mobilized. This is more than just self-preservation."
"My teacher likes to plan ahead, and it's all thanks to him." Li Ming said calmly, "Now, I think we can talk."
Tandin said in a cold tone: "Do you think that only 400 million mechanical bodies, plus a few mechanical holy spirits fused with X-level mechanical bodies, can compete with the two of us?"
These two guys know quite a lot about the Mechanical Holy Spirit.
Li Ming pondered inwardly. They were not wrong. The fusion requirements of the Holy Spirit Core were much simpler than those of the Guards.
This also resulted in its power conversion efficiency being far inferior to that of the [Guards Armed Forces]. A mechanical Holy Spirit of this size could barely contend with one of them.
If two of them join forces, they definitely can't win.
"Who says we have to fight?" Li Ming asked, his cyan-gold body standing tall in the void, his spiritual energy rippling like water. "Given the Red River Star Stream's environment, if we simply want to escape, it shouldn't be difficult."
"If the corpse of a Dominant-level Terrax were to get out, I wonder what kind of waves it would cause."
Tandin and Alvis looked solemn. Although they didn't want to admit it, what the other party said was right.
Now that the incident happened suddenly, they were not prepared at all.
This mechanical holy spirit has reached a certain level and is not completely powerless.
If the opponent is determined to escape, it will be difficult for the two of them to defeat him in a short time.
And because of the outbreak some time ago, the internal environment of the Red River Star Stream has become even more treacherous, making it extremely inconvenient to hunt down. If you are not careful, the opponent may disappear without a trace.
"And there doesn't seem to be anyone from the Star Alliance here..." Li Ming continued, "The United Organization of Higher Lifeforms also has the right to know about this. This concerns the future of evolution, and the general public should also have the right to know."
"Are you threatening us?" A cold light flashed in Tandin's eyes. If the entire galaxy knew that a dominant-level Terrax corpse had appeared, riots would break out in an instant.
"I'm not threatening you, I'm just stating the facts. I know what you're thinking. It's almost impossible for us to escape unscathed after seeing this kind of secret." Li Ming said in a deep voice.
"But I have to tell you, if I can't go back, my teacher will definitely do everything he can to find out what happened here."
Azure Dragon
Tandin and Alvis's expressions changed slightly. Before the Mechanical Holy Spirit appeared, the Azure Dragon was not very impressive, but now it cannot be taken lightly.
Even the former Forging Hammer had not reached the point where he could allow others to use the Mechanical Holy Spirit technology at will.
"And the most crucial point is that if the two master craftsmen, Reynolds and Mikhail, cannot return, then there is a high probability that the mechanical bodies under their control will be taken by my teacher." Li Ming continued.
Mikhail's heart twitched. Although he knew that Li Ming was most likely trying to intimidate the other party, he couldn't help but feel a little weak.
Qinglong's attainments in virtual data have reached the pinnacle, and it is hard to guarantee that he cannot achieve this.
"Yes, we have been an offensive and defensive alliance for a long time!" Reynolds shouted in cooperation.
Tandin and Alvis' expressions darkened. If the power of the three great masters were to be combined, coupled with the mechanical Holy Spirit technology, the power that would be unleashed would be immeasurable.
The people behind them who were listening to this couldn't help but feel terrified.
All in all, Qinglong is surprisingly strong to this extent.
Costat thought more. Even Adam probably couldn't have expected that Qinglong would possess the Mechanical Holy Spirit.
This made the opponent's threat very high. If Adam really wanted to use Qinglong as a chess piece, it might not be that easy.
And the strangest thing is, how could Qinglong possess the mechanical holy spirit technology of forging hammer?
"So, what exactly do you want to do?" Alves said in a deep voice. "Since you've explained it so clearly, you should also understand that no matter what, we can't let you leave so easily."
"We can join you and help you study the body of this Terrax, but we must do so in a cooperative manner." Li Ming responded immediately, having already made up his mind.
If you can't beat them, join them. If you can't crush them with force, you can only take the overall situation into consideration.
Mikhail and Reynolds didn't say anything. They didn't object to what Li Ming said. The most important thing now was to get out of this situation.
"Cooperation..." Alves frowned slightly, but then shook his head: "You are machines, Reynolds and Mikhail are, and your teacher is probably too."
"Even if we can discover something from this corpse, it will be of no value to you. Since there's no benefit, I can't restrict you."
They originally wanted to use these two master craftsmen to work for them, but that was when they controlled their life and death and forced them to work, which was completely different from the other party's active cooperation.
They will never willingly do something that has no benefit. After getting away with it, they may bring it up again and threaten others in all aspects, causing endless troubles.
"Of course, we have conditions." Li Ming then said: "Stop attacking the Machinists Association."
Mikhail was shocked. He didn't expect there was such a trick.
Li Ming has the demeanor of his teacher. He remains calm in the face of adversity and is able to seek maximum benefits.
Reynolds was also surprised that he jumped onto this.
"The Mechanics Association..." Tandin was slightly stunned and didn't pay much attention to this matter. However, Alves' eyes narrowed slightly and he couldn't help but admire: "What a great Li Ming."
Li Ming further asked, "Have you two agreed?"
"We can agree to this, but the Mechanics Association must be incorporated into the Interstellar Alliance and autonomously supervised by major civilizations," Alves emphasized.
Mikhail had the urge to agree, but he restrained himself and secretly reminded him, "We should quit while we are ahead. We are not in an advantageous position."
He was afraid that Li Ming would be dissatisfied and unwilling to back down.
"Okay." Li Ming responded quickly. He also knew that this was not actually taking advantage.
The current situation is a bit complicated. They saw the corpse and the other party was unwilling to let them go easily.
But they are mechanical bodies, and even if they join, they will not get any benefit from this corpse.
If the other party cannot see their purpose, they will not feel at ease, so there must be a way to restrain them.
This is an advantage, but also a handle.
In this way, they invited the three master craftsmen to join the research in exchange for the Mechanics Association's reward.
The Mechanics Association is under the supervision of the Interstellar Alliance, which is like a sword of Damocles that may be struck again at any time.
It wasn't the best deal given the current situation, but it was something both sides could reluctantly agree to.
Costat and others looked at each other in bewilderment. They didn't expect it to turn out like this.
Li Ming and his team not only turned danger into safety, but also gave the Mechanics Association, which was almost buried, a breath of fresh air.
Looking at the mechanical holy spirit in front of them, they did not see the controller Li Ming, and no one cared about Reynolds and Mikhail.
What they saw was - the Azure Dragon!
The situation was reversed without even the person actually arriving, and Li Ming was just the tentacle of the Azure Dragon.
Gonzalez gritted his teeth secretly. He didn't expect that Li Ming could survive in such a desperate situation, while he himself was about to fall into the point where everyone looked down on him.
He couldn't help but ask, "Should we inform the Star Alliance about the matter of the Mechanics Association?"
The division was decided jointly by the three major civilizations, but now the Empire and the Federation seem to completely ignore the Star Alliance.
Tandin looked unhappy. Even though he was very unhappy about being coerced, it was not for Gonzalez, the prisoner, to point fingers at him.
But before he could shout, someone acted faster than him.
His expression changed slightly. The Mechanical Holy Spirit in front of him had disappeared without a trace. It moved silently, passing through the chaotic energy flow around it without causing any ripples.
When it appeared again, it was already in front of Gonzalez. It was not until the moment of attack that its huge metal body emitted a terrifying aura.
Tandin and Alvis followed closely with frowns on their faces, but only to protect their own people.
Gonzalez's face was filled with fear, and he subconsciously wanted to retreat, but he was pinned to the spot by an irresistible force.
Everything went dark before his eyes, and a cyan-gold metal palm pressed down. The golden lines on it shone brightly, and an invisible force field instantly erupted, imprisoning all matter and energy around it.
The high-speed moving particles stopped instantly, the surging energy flow seemed to be frozen, and even the light was bound at this moment, unable to escape this powerful confining force.
Space was frozen, time seemed to have stagnated, and the place was in a state of absolute stillness.
Gonzalez's face was frozen with fear. When he came to his senses again, he had been grasped by a huge mechanical hand, with only his head exposed. The long-lost breath of death exploded in his heart.
The others only reacted at this moment, and looked at the Mechanical Holy Spirit so close to them with an indescribable fear.
