Chapter 526 The Power of Fall
Opening the control page, he scanned his various controlled objects, preparing to select suitable experimental subjects from them.
Among the main combat system control items, [Infinite Hammer], [Heart of Talos], [Life Power Core], [Justice Gauntlets], and [Vortex Swift Shadow], these five items are already X-level control items.
There are still three [Earthshakers] left that are still at S level.
"Hmm... Let's go back and do some mental defense to avoid being tricked." Li Ming glanced around and suddenly thought of Senil.
If this woman hadn't been concerned about Qinglong, she would have attacked him long ago.
He couldn't help but sigh as he wrote it down in his little notebook.
Since he really didn't know the specific situation of "degeneration", he didn't know what kind of controlled object to choose as the experimental subject.
Choose the core control object. He is afraid of accidents, such as [Infinite Hammer], [Heart of Talos], etc. If any of them fails, his strength will drop drastically.
If he doesn't choose the core control object, he is afraid of suffering a huge loss. After all, he only has the power of the Eternal Abyss.
I don’t know when I’ll get the next one. If it really brings powerful abilities, it would be a pity to waste it.
Logically speaking, it is impossible for the control system to undergo negative optimization, but the power of the Eternal Abyss and the word "depravity" really made him feel unsure.
After thinking for a long time, Li Ming became more and more annoyed. He couldn't help scratching his head and said, "Forget it. There will definitely not be any big problems."
Out of trust in the control system, Li Ming was too lazy to think about it any further. His eyes narrowed slightly and his gaze was fixed on the [Heart of Talos].
It’s decided to be you!
[Do you want to use the power of the Eternal Abyss for the Heart of Talos? (Note: Corruption is irreversible, please choose carefully)]
A prompt popped up on the control page, and it was a grayish-white color that had never been seen before, which seemed to indicate something.
Li Ming's heart couldn't help but beat. [Heart of Talos] is not only the core, but also the core of the core.
The blessing conversion saved him the trouble of preparing multiple plans, and his [Dimension Walker] ability was the key to extracting the blood of the world later.
"Forget it, let's change it." Li Ming's heart sank, the gray-white prompt disappeared, his eyes wandered, and finally fell on the [Earth-Shaking Fist].
Although it is only S-level, even if something goes wrong, we can still create another one.
As for the waste problem, he had already figured it out. His current system was perfect, so it didn't matter even if there was no degeneration.
There is no need to forcibly destroy your core system.
I made up my mind and the prompt popped up again. This time I didn't hesitate and immediately selected OK.
Not sure if it was an illusion, but Li Ming seemed to see the [Earth-Shaking Fist] logo tremble, as if it was afraid?
In the upper left corner of the control page, the words "Power of Eternal Abyss" suddenly dissipated and gradually turned into a wisp of gray-white mist, which spread to the control column and then injected into the [Earth-Shaking Fist].
Completely different from previous transformations and strengthening, the khaki-colored earth-shaking fist trembled violently, as if it was extremely resistant, like the cry of a trapped beast.
Grayish-white mist seeped along the metal lines, condensing into flowers of decay at the joints, and the gold coating faded at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The hard, smooth surface gradually becomes rough, the textures constantly reorganizing and interweaving. The original metallic luster gradually dims, replaced by a deep paleness.
The overall material and properties undergo a fundamental transformation, and the whole process is strange and peculiar.
In the end, the Earth-Shaking Fist had changed its appearance. It was gray and white all over, and its color scheme was very similar to that of the Yuan Clan, gloomy and dangerous.
"This thing..." Li Ming was stunned and didn't react until it was over.
Suddenly he was startled and immediately checked the item description.
[Earth-shaking Fist--Degeneration: The power to shake everything?
………
Degeneration effect: cannot be upgraded.
Degenerate Ability - Death Fist: Release the power of the Eternal Abyss, gather it into one strike, and corrode the enemy. If the corrode succeeds, the enemy will be killed immediately.
Li Ming looked it over and over again before he finally understood that degeneration was indeed special. All of its abilities were erased and it could not be upgraded, turning it into an extremely powerful disposable consumable.
Its main ability is to release the power of the Eternal Abyss, and the objects it controls are essentially just carriers. In other words, there is not much difference between X-level and S-level influence.
Fortunately, I didn't choose the X-level control item, that would have been a huge loss.
"Death Punch...tsk tsk, I guess this punch is more terrifying than the Mechanical Holy Spirit. No one below the Ultimate Life Form should be able to withstand the erosion of the Power of the Abyss. Half of the Power of the Abyss is enough to torture Tygos beyond recognition." Li Ming muttered.
Overall, this [Degeneration] is pretty good, it can be considered as an extra trump card.
After the experiment, Li Ming was in a good mood, and his eyes fell on the [Infinite Hammer] again while thinking.
His weapon was still damaged, and if he wanted to repair it completely, he would need 5 billion metal energies.
It sounds like a lot, but for him now, it is not out of reach.
It can even be said that the Mechanical Royal Court has almost accumulated enough money now.
They left the Mechanical Royal Court and headed for the Dusk Banquet, but were attacked by the Star Alliance in the middle, and then came to the Desolate Channel to look for ferocious beasts.
This trip back and forth has already delayed us for nearly half a year. We have to return. It will take more than three months to leave the Desolate Channel, and at least four months to return to the Mechanical Royal Court.
That adds up to nearly ten months.
Li Ming couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he estimated this.
"I can accumulate 500 million metal energies in a month. Hmm... I need to expand and rebuild during this period, so it might be less. But considering what I have left, I estimate it's about the same. I'll have to wait another month or two at most..."
Thinking of this, Li Ming couldn't help but grin and stared at the [Infinite Hammer] again.
The technical level of the forging hammer is very high, and the Infinite Hammer and the Holy Spirit Core are his top products.
Its level exceeds that of conventional x-level controlled objects, but it has not yet reached the level of ultimate controlled objects.
There is no rush for the World Blood. As long as the Star of Eternal Silence is not settled, Chlonoa still has value.
Moreover, he didn't really want to upgrade the [Earth-Shaking Fist], so he went back to think carefully about how to allocate the remaining three controlled objects more reasonably.
That little bit of power blessing is no longer very important.
He was thinking in his mind, deciding on his next plan, and thinking of Tygos's body. He knew that the preparation of X-level gene seeds had to be put on the agenda, which was incomparable to the difficulty of preparing S-level gene seeds.
Tygos himself is ridiculously powerful, so it will probably take more time to succeed.
Although his development progress is only 36% now, getting it sooner will make it easier if anything unexpected happens.
The task of mixing gene seeds seemed to fall only on Sheffield.
Li Ming's eyes flashed. Apart from the three major civilizations, there were only a few people who had the ability to mix genetic seeds at this level.
The last time he had dealt with Sheffield was when he was preparing S-level gene seeds. Although they had business dealings during that time, they had only purchased gene seeds sporadically.
All his subordinates are mechanical bodies, and the gene seeds he purchased are not big business because of the mercenaries under Theo.
Frankly speaking, he didn't trust Sheffield.
The x-gene seed is more important to him than anything else, and he must ensure that it is foolproof.
At this moment, he even wanted to arrest Sheffield, lock him up in a small dark room, and exploit him severely.
But he quickly dismissed the idea, not to mention how much commotion it would cause.
He was not good at mixing gene seeds, and if Sheffield was doing something secretly, he would not be able to figure it out.
Li Ming frowned and thought for a long time, then shook his head, "You're mistaken. My becoming an X-level life form is almost equivalent to evolving into an ultimate life form. This is something only I know, and no one else can possibly make the connection."
"Sheffield has blended X-level gene-seed for others more than once. Even if Tygos's gene-seed is a little special, there's no reason why it wouldn't go wrong with me."
"If you try too hard, it will seem abnormal."
After figuring it out, Li Ming felt much more at ease. The gap between X-level life forms and ultimate life forms is like an insurmountable chasm.
Although X-level gene seeds are precious, it depends on who holds them.
Of course Qinglong is qualified to own it. Even if the people on the boat know that the star beast has fallen into his hands, what does it matter?
Who dares to really take action?
This hunting operation is essentially just a team-building activity. It would be best if we could get some benefits, but it doesn’t matter if we don’t.
"I should spend some time looking for a profession that can prepare genetic seeds..." Li Ming pondered. He had looked for it before and had tried many related instruments and equipment, but he hadn't found any.
Li Ming did not stay in the room for long. After satisfying his curiosity, he went out again.
After asking the waiter about the rooms of each X-level life form, he visited them one by one.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Ertas is not in the room..."
A yellow shadow popped up in front of the door, like a Q version of Anatoly, bowing and nodding.
"My teacher has something for me to tell him in person," Li Ming emphasized with a smile, "Please be sure to tell him again."
After a moment, the door opened and Ertas was covered in silver-white, as if he was made of metal.
"Sir Ertas, you are here..." Li Ming was not surprised at all.
There was a hint of embarrassment on Ertas's silver metallic face, but he quickly calmed down and said sideways, "I was just taking a break and set it to do not disturb. Excuse me, please come in and chat."
Li Ming followed Ertas in, sat casually on the sofa, and crossed his legs.
"Lord Qinglong, is there anything you need to convey?" Ertas looked at Li Ming's casual look, feeling slightly dissatisfied, but he didn't say much.
Li Ming did not respond, but instead said, "The Silver Light Smelting Company under His Excellency Ertas seems to be a giant in the Seranir Star Region."
"Not bad." Ertas frowned.
"This is what happened. The Mechanical Royal Court under my command wants to purchase some raw materials from your company." Li Ming explained.
"Buy raw materials?" Ertas thought for a moment and quickly responded, "It's a small matter. I'll give you a discount."
"Thank you very much." Li Ming smiled and then said, "However, the Seranir star region is too far away from the Chaos Star Gap, and the shipping costs will be quite high. Therefore, we plan to open a factory there to produce and sell our products locally. I hope you can provide some help."
"Open a factory?" Ertas was stunned for a moment, then he realized that this guy wanted to interfere in his territory and forcibly bite off a piece of meat.
His face changed slightly. This guy is too bold.
Before he could say anything, Li Ming spoke again, "By the way, my teacher asked me to convey a question. He wants to ask, you didn't attack him willingly at that time, did you?"
Ertas's face froze and he felt angry. Anyone could hear the threat in Li Ming's words.
These ordinary X-level life forms were tricked by Gustav and Anatoly, and were forced to join forces to attack Qinglong.
And now, Qinglong is obviously ready to ask for some benefits.
Although he was dissatisfied, Ertas also breathed a sigh of relief. He had received the benefits and could not retaliate secretly.
His expression changed several times, and he forced a smile: "We just misunderstood at the time, and we definitely didn't intend to attack on purpose."
He then added, "I'll help you with purchasing materials and setting up the factory, don't worry."
"Thank you very much, sir." Li Ming stood up, nodded slightly, and then walked straight away from Ertas.
After going out, Li Ming looked back. This was the first one.
…
"How do you say that?"
In the top-floor room, Gustav sat behind the table, looking at Anatoly who suddenly appeared in front of the table, without any surprise.
"What do you mean?" Anatole asked in confusion.
"His development potential, cell samples..." Gustav frowned.
Anatoly frowned: "When did you ask me this?"
"Don't tell me you were there just to cook for him." Gustav said coldly.
Anatoly took it for granted: "Of course, when preparing ingredients and tasting delicious food, it is a pious process. How can I have other thoughts?"
Gustav stared at Anatoly, a rare expression of annoyance on his face. "Then why did you come to see me?"
"What does the Black Hole Network say about this whole thing?" Anatoly asked, then added, "It's about the Red River Star Stream incident. With Azure Dragon's piece of the puzzle, we should be able to deduce a lot of information."
Gustav narrowed his eyes slightly. The black hole network almost controlled the flow of dark information in the entire interstellar space, all of which were invisible light data.
It can be said that except for those messages that are truly secretive to a certain extent, the answers can be found on the black hole network.
However, as a true intelligent life, the black hole network always abides by the rules it sets, unless something happens that endangers its own existence.
The recent Red River Star Stream incident has already prompted the Black Hole Network to issue an early warning. Using ultra-large-scale data screening and simulations of related events, it has come to an extremely dangerous assessment that may affect its own existence.
Only then did he start looking for relevant clues. Anatoly was a smart man, so it was normal for him to guess this.
Gustav's expression subsided. He stood up and walked to the wine cabinet in the room. He casually took out a bottle of wine and two wine glasses and placed them in front of Anatoly. "But why should I tell you?"
The purple wine fell into the glass, creating foam, and Anatoly had already prepared a plan, "Because we need cooperation."
"Oh?" Gustav remained silent and motioned for Anatoly to continue.
"Qinglong..." Anatoly smiled. "Honestly, in my eyes, apart from the three major civilizations, you are my only rival. Perkins is an idiot and not worth worrying about at all."
"I originally thought that the fight between you and me would last for a long time, but I didn't expect..."
Anatoly paused, raised his glass from the table in front of him, and shook it: "The Azure Dragon suddenly jumped out of nowhere. This is a very..."
He didn't know how to describe it, so he could only use the word "strange person".
