Chapter 521: Erosion from the Eternal Abyss! Degeneration?
Li Ming couldn't help but sigh, the hope of leaving the body behind was getting smaller and smaller.
But he was cautious and didn't get close until then.
Until the star cluster further condensed to the size of an egg, like a purple stone suspended in mid-air, without any energy fluctuations.
After waiting for several more hours, there was no further change, so Li Ming approached cautiously.
"This thing..." Li Ming stared at the purple "stone" in front of him. It had condensed to a certain extent and formed a solid substance.
"Old Green?" Li Ming shouted.
Immediately afterwards, the broken metal wreckage in the distance cast a faint beam of light.
Green Ringgate condensed into shape, staring at him with his big eyes, and said with difficulty, "What the hell are you?"
What kind of nonsense is this? Li Ming paused and asked unkindly, "Where is my body?"
"Uh..." Green Ringert's face suddenly became awkward, his eyes erratic, "I also said at the time, this matter is difficult to guarantee, you can't blame me..."
Li Ming was speechless and could only look at the purple stone in front of him. "What is this thing?"
"I don't know. This is my first time using this method." Green Ringert hesitated. "How about you try to cut it open?"
Cut open? Li Ming was speechless. This guy was a virtual life. Death was no different from being turned off.
But he himself is alive, and if something really happens, he cannot guarantee that he can handle it.
However, he changed his mind and thought about the [Life Power Core]. With this thing as a backup, he became much bolder.
He stretched out his hand, and black energy like tar condensed into a small dagger in his hand.
He was just trying it out and didn't expect it to have any effect.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the small dagger touched the purple stone, he heard a clear click.
Immediately afterwards, the purple stone exploded with a bang, and the fragments turned into tassels, but the energy fluctuations were very weak, like splashing water.
Plop--
A black mass fell out from inside and landed on the cracked stone slabs under his feet.
"What the hell?" Li Ming subconsciously became alert, and with his tank guard on, mechanical guards emerged. When he finished speaking, he had already transformed into the form of a mechanical king.
"What the hell is this? Holy Spirit Civilization?" Green Ringert was increasingly stunned, looking up at the huge monster in front of him.
Li Ming ignored him and stared at the black thing in front of him, studying it carefully.
"Corpse?" His expression became extremely interesting, and in a blink of an eye, he released the Mechanical King.
This was indeed the body of Tygos, but it had been destroyed beyond recognition. Its head and four claws were gone, and its surface was pitch black.
"See, I told you there would probably be a body left behind." Green Ringert also came over and said proudly:
"Taegos grew stronger after being eroded by the Abyss, and the methods left by the master were less effective after the Colosseum was destroyed. The two canceled each other out, resulting in the current situation."
Li Ming squatted down and carefully removed the black substance on the surface of the corpse.
The surface skin has completely disappeared, and only atrophied muscle fibers and capillaries can be seen.
The corpse was still two colors, purple and white.
"I wonder if the part eroded by Yongyuan can still be used to mix gene seeds..." Li Ming muttered, studied it carefully, and then breathed a sigh of relief.
Even if the part eroded by the Eternal Abyss is not counted, the integrity of the corpse is more than 45%. If the part eroded by the Eternal Abyss is counted, it is more than 90%, and basically only the head has been wiped off.
"Tsk, I got a great bargain..." Li Ming grinned, in a good mood.
Overall, I got the body without paying much this time, which was a rare relief.
As he was thinking, Li Ming's expression suddenly changed. The seemingly lifeless corpse suddenly twitched, and wisps of gray-white mist rushed out of it, attached to Li Ming's left leg, and then spread.
Almost immediately, Li Ming felt that a disaster was about to happen, and he suddenly pulled away and retreated.
However, the gray-white mist followed closely behind like a chopping board, at a speed so fast that it was astonishing.
"This is, Deep Mist..." Green Ringert's face was grim. "Fuck, I've used up all my strength trying to wear down Tygos. I can't deal with this Deep Mist anymore."
"No wonder the corpse is still there. It's this abyssal mist that's holding it up."
Li Ming only felt half of his body numb, as if he was being clamped tightly by an invisible force. There was an icy and deep power that kept drilling into his body.
It roamed freely in his flesh and blood cells. With every advance, the numbness became more severe and his body lost control.
Li Ming tried to resist, but his own strength was no match for it.
This is a big trouble... Li Ming's face was solemn. Tan Wei appeared on the surface of his body and then possessed him immediately.
However, the gray-white mist did not lose its target. Instead, it continued to erode the interior of the tank, and electric sparks continued to burst out.
"It corrodes everything...even mechanical bodies are not spared." Li Ming put away the tank guard again, and the mist condensed again, covering the surface around him.
"It's over!" A mournful voice sounded beside him. Green Ringet looked miserable. "I'm sorry for you. You defeated the Super Seed who was in the King Trial at the same level."
"If you are eroded by the Eternal Abyss, I will die with regrets."
"You are artificial intelligence and have no eyes." Li Ming said calmly.
Green Ringert paused, his face growing sadder.
As he spoke, six mechanical guards appeared beside him, surrounding him in the center and raising various energy cannons at him.
"What are you doing? So decisive?" Green Ringert looked at him in astonishment and said admiringly, "Are you afraid of endangering the safety of the universe, so you want to commit suicide before the Eternal Abyss is completely eroded?"
Li Ming was too lazy to pay attention to him. The mechanical guards had already started to accumulate energy. He planned to use the sixty seconds of immunity time of the [Life Power Core] to free himself from this erosion.
"No, let's think of other ways. It doesn't have to come to this..." Green Ringget stopped him emotionally.
The "impatient" King Zhentian had already accumulated enough energy, but Li Ming's expression suddenly became strange.
"Wait..." His eyes moved slightly, and most of his body was wrapped in gray-white mist. His skin turned gray-white and was about to be eroded.
But during this time, the deep fog had already spread to his right index finger.
This finger is a little different. It is used to absorb metal energy and various special energies.
It was at the first moment of contact that he felt the gray-white mist begin to flow uncontrollably into the finger.
Not pouring in, but being absorbed!
This thing can be absorbed!
Li Ming thought of a lot in an instant.
…So this is the special energy I absorbed from the bodies of those Yuan people?
Wait... Could it be that those Yuan people were...
Li Ming's throat rolled, and he felt as if he had discovered some big secret.
"No, why did you really stop?" Green Ringert noticed that the mechanical bodies had put down their weapons, and he felt a little embarrassed and anxious.
"Not really. I was just saying it casually. You don't have to listen to me. Just continue as you are doing."
Green Ringert felt a little regretful. "Listen to me, I lied to you when I said I'd think of other solutions. There's no other way. After being eroded by the Abyss Clan, you'll lose your consciousness, which is no different from death. It will also endanger other creatures. It's better to die."
Li Ming was too lazy to pay attention to this funny guy. He used his fingers to poke various parts of his body surface to absorb the deep mist that had eroded into his body.
"It's over, this is really crazy..." Green Ringgate lamented, feeling anxious. He killed a Tygos and released another super seed.
When this guy grows up, he will be no less dangerous than Tygos.
However, as he watched, his eyes suddenly bulged, "No... Is this... the Abyssal Mist disappearing!?"
He was stunned, his body stiff in place, and he was truly in a state of shutdown.
He encountered something completely inexplicable, which shocked his processing center.
After a long while, he seemed to have finally resolved the logical conflict within his body, and murmured, "How is this possible? What has the outside world become? It actually has the ability to directly dissolve the Abyss Mist..."
This is the Abyss Mist that is in a state of erosion, not the Abyss Mist that appears after the death of a normal Abyss member.
"If I had this ability then, perhaps..."
His expression changed, and the gray-white mist surrounding Li Ming had almost dissipated.
As he moved his body, various elemental forces re-infiltrated the dried-up cells, and the numb flesh and blood gradually regained their activity.
After absorbing about 90% of the remaining Eternal Abyss power, his heart moved slightly and he opened the control page.
The incomplete power of the Eternal Abyss has been filled into a complete one--
[Power of the Eternal Abyss: A special power from the Eternal Abyss. When used to control an object, it can cause it to degenerate.]
Degenerate?
Li Ming looked at the instructions carefully and couldn't help feeling confused. He didn't quite understand the meaning of "degeneration", and there was no further explanation.
"The power of the Eternal Abyss can make living things lose control, and degeneration should come from this..." Li Ming pondered.
He originally thought that the complete power of the Eternal Abyss was at the level of the ultimate life form.
However, he didn't expect that it would be complete this time. He calculated that he had absorbed the power of the Eternal Abyss about three times. The first time was relatively weak and came from the tomb of a lord-level Titan.
The second time was absorbed from the X-level Abyss, and the third time, from Tygos, was also the strongest.
Combining these three, he estimated that it should be the energy of the secondary overlord level. It is not to promote the controlled object, but probably to add some characteristics.
He couldn't help but feel curious, but now was obviously not the time to research, so he put the matter aside for the time being.
When he came to his senses, Green Ringgate was squatting in front of him, staring at him with a pair of big green eyes, his eyes filled with burning passion.
Li Ming subconsciously threw a punch, but missed. He touched his nose and asked, "What are you doing, sir?"
Green Ringert stared at him suspiciously, then asked impatiently, "How...how did you deal with the Abyssal Mist? Has the outside world's civilization developed to this level?"
"Uh... this..." Li Ming said vaguely: "Not yet, it's just a personal talent of mine..."
"Personal talent? There's such a talent?" Green Ringert was surprised, but excited. "In any case, you have this talent. When the Guixu period arrives, you will definitely be of great use."
But thinking of this, his expression became more serious. "But you must also be vigilant. Yongyuan is extremely intelligent. If he discovers this ability of yours, he will definitely not let you go easily."
"Thanks for the reminder..." Li Ming's heart moved slightly, and he couldn't help but ask: "Regarding Yongyuan's matter, I have some doubts..."
………
Outside the Colosseum, in the deserted waterway, is where Li Ming’s small spaceship is parked.
At this moment, they were surrounded. There were probably more than 20 to 30 figures inside and outside, including all kinds of life forms.
Further outwards are a large number of warships of various types, with three layers inside and three layers outside.
Standing in the center were Anatoly, Senil and others.
"Why is there a spaceship here?" Senel asked with a frown. "Didn't Lord Anatoly say that these coordinates are extremely secret?"
"Maybe it's just an explorer. This ship has very low specifications." Anatoly looked calm, but he was also suspicious in his heart.
After arriving at this area, they dispersed and set up defensive circles and various probes, while also trying their luck to see if they could directly discover the secret space.
As a result, a group of people under his command discovered a lonely small spaceship here.
"The spaceship is very clean inside. There are no traces left. There are no clues left in the navigation system. The hard drives have been removed." A figure walked out of the spaceship. It was Gustav.
"There are no signs of collision damage on the exterior armor or the interior, indicating he didn't leave in a hurry, but rather left the spacecraft here intentionally."
Leaving the spaceship here on purpose... Everyone's eyes couldn't help but focus on Anatoly.
They certainly don't believe in coincidences. The owner of this spaceship is most likely here for the star beast.
"This spaceship was built by the 'Dumen Shipbuilders' and should have come from the Desolate Anchor Stargate Node. There should be clues there." Someone identified the origin and couldn't help but say.
"It would take more than half a year to go back and forth. Even if we go to the Desolate Anchor Stargate Node to find it, it would be useless." Senel shook her head and asked, "Is there anyone who is good at time-based abilities?"
There was silence and no one responded.
Gustav said, "I've tried it. The other party is very experienced and has accumulated extremely high-intensity energy, disrupting the stability of the area and making it difficult to reverse."
"Looks like he's a veteran," said Senel, hinting, "Master Anatoly has been hiding this for so long, but I didn't expect someone to get there first."
"There's no trace of them in this area. I'm afraid they've already entered that space. Didn't you say that if we want to get in, we have to find a way to resolve various difficulties?"
"But this guy came here in such a simple spaceship and actually found a way to get in."
Everyone had different expressions, but Anatoly remained calm. "Don't worry. Since the spaceship is still here, it means they haven't left."
