Chapter 565: Deterring the Unexpected Holy Castle?
"Qinglong... Master Li Ming, let me see what qualifications you have to be his teacher."
Klonoa's golden vertical pupils trembled. He didn't want Istanbul to hear the name Taros, so he just used Li Ming instead.
The almost liquid golden energy gathered almost instantly.
Li Ming felt that the space around him was almost solidified. Chlonoa's attack was not just simple energy, but also various phase blockades.
A lattice cage formed outside his body, and every hair on his body was vibrating at a high frequency.
Fine ripples of energy appeared on the exposed skin, as if the whole person was immersed in sticky liquid amber.
Strip it out of space, and there is no escape or avoidance.
boom!
The light column surged and boiled in the void, and tiny golden light particles collided with each other, then burst out with thunderous brilliance.
The intensity was unprecedented. Even Gustav felt a sense of fear, and it even burned scorch marks on his retina.
The golden beam of light has penetrated the void, and the space emits a wail of shattered glass in the golden torrent.
But Li Ming remained calm, and the taken [Heart of Talos] returned to its original place.
The next moment, a blazing beam of energy enveloped him, and he felt like he was soaking in a hot spring. The golden torrents that were powerful enough to melt space fragments into gas now turned into thousands of docile fish.
But Chlonoa was already horrified, his mental fluctuations were highly unstable——
"You, how could you possibly..."
"You are not Qinglong... So, so..."
He seemed to have discovered something, but he was extremely restrained, fearing that others would also discover the secret.
"What's going on?"
"Your Excellency Qinglong, you weren't killed by the explosion?"
"Didn't Klonoa say that he's not a Azure Dragon? He's probably just a mechanical body. Even if he gets blasted into pieces, it doesn't matter."
Other higher life forms had already gathered nearby and became spectators, analyzing with great interest.
However, as the discussion was going on, the mental fluctuations gradually subsided, accompanied by the dissipation of the energy aftermath.
The expressions on everyone's faces were stiff and they were dumbfounded.
The mecha still stood in the void. The energy attack that was just enough to annihilate everything did not cause any damage, and the shell still remained smooth.
This scene instantly brought back memories for some people. Gustav's pupils contracted. "Are you using this method again?"
Anatoly took a deep breath. "This attack strength is even higher than the last time we teamed up. What's the upper limit of his defense?"
At the same time, Li Ming had already taken half a step into the void, and the solidified void under his feet burst into ice-crack ripples. The entire space blockade system shattered like a glass lamp hit by a heavy hammer.
But Chlonoa was almost crazy, "Istanbul, kill him, kill him for me!"
A dull voice rang in everyone's ears, "Klonoa, you didn't pay me for my actions."
"As long as you kill him, you can quote any price you want!" Chlonoa seemed crazy.
"Okay, remember this."
As the words fell, the void began to tremble.
Black cracks appeared one after another, and some sticky darkness seeped out from the depths of the space cracks. The overwhelming feeling of suffocation gripped everyone's throat, and they felt cold all over.
This is already deep space, and the solidity of the barrier is beyond imagination.
"Istanbul... I remember that I had dealings with him a long time ago." Li Ming raised his head, his heart becoming more solemn.
Istanbul possesses various special abilities, which can even be called superpowers.
In terms of actual combat capability, it is even stronger than Chlonoa.
He had no intention of communicating. The silver light condensed into a giant fist and smashed down. The terrifying oppression seemed to have reached a certain limit. The energy particles solidified in the void suddenly began to rise in the opposite direction.
Like an inverted rainstorm, every energy particle is forced to continuously fission under pressure, and then burst out with even more powerful force and merge together.
"This is too perverted." Many people flew backwards in fear.
Although I have heard of the reputation of forbidden life forms, I rarely see them take direct action. Klonoa's power is already astonishing enough.
But unexpectedly, Istanbul is even more terrifying when it comes to fighting.
They all believed that this had reached the ultimate level.
Moreover, this is in the void realm, not in their dimensional world.
It’s totally unstoppable. Li Ming’s eyelids twitched, and various phase blockades formed around him again, even more solid than before.
His heart moved slightly, but he ignored it and directly activated the ability of [Dimension Walker].
In that huge golden vertical pupil, red bloodshot veins like mountains spread out, staring intently at the location of Qinglong.
Costat is also full of expectations.
boom!
The energy exploded, and the silver energy ring erupted like a supernova, spreading out layer by layer.
Inside each ring, a bluish-white energy slurry is surging, and high-dimensional energy is boiling in the gaps between the rings. The splashing fragments of light are not pure light particles, but space ripples wrapped in energy.
The space showed gorgeous cracks like those in a glass kiln, and deep in those dark blue cracks was an extremely silent darkness.
Everyone's breathing was stagnant, their throats were rolling, and even Yongyuan was beaten out.
This time, no one present could withstand it.
However, before the energy ripples completely dissipated, intermittent mental fluctuations were transmitted.
"...Chlonoa...get back!"
"Not dead yet?" Gustav's eyebrows twitched violently. Regardless of other things, this level of defense was already amazing enough.
"Huh? How could this happen?" Istanbul in the shadows was also very surprised.
It was as if a hand was pinching, and the energy aftermath around it, like waves, turned into a countercurrent tornado and retreated.
Costat's heart shook violently, as if struck by lightning. All his expectations were shattered at this moment, and his whole body went numb. "How... is this possible!?"
Everyone was speechless, some were shocked, some were horrified.
I saw that the mecha in the center of the field was still intact, with a layer of light golden light film covering its surface. Just like before, there was still no trace left.
"This...this..." Chlonoa couldn't believe it, his golden vertical pupils trembled, and he seemed unable to accept this result.
He could ignore his attacks and use Taros to explain it, but how could he withstand Istanbul's attacks?
Without time to think, he suddenly wailed, "No, no, don't do this..."
"You can't do this!"
"It was the Empire that deceived me. Spare my life, spare my life!"
“…”
Everyone came back to their senses from their trance, still unable to figure out what had happened.
However, the huge golden vertical pupil above his head suddenly dissipated, and the golden energy turned into a waterspout that reached the sky, and actually left directly from the energy channel opened in Istanbul.
"Run, run away?" Everyone became more and more stunned.
The originally invincible Chronoa, the legendary forbidden life form.
He just ran away wailing and begging for mercy. What did Qinglong do?
He seemed to be doing nothing, just standing there.
"Klonoa...actually...is this what he calls ignoring?"
Kostat's face looked grim, and the X-level life forms gathered around him stared at the figure as if they were facing a great enemy.
Istanbul became more and more confused. The golden light film covering the mecha had disappeared, but he did not take action again.
Those who hired him ran away wailing, and even if they took action again, they might not be rewarded.
The void is silent. Although there is no direct sound transmitted by the air, there is high-dimensional audio caused by space vibrations.
Istanbul tried to close the spatial rift he had created, and hesitantly spoke, "Sir Qinglong, I just took action because I was hired, so..."
"I understand." After Li Ming came back to his senses, he heard Istanbul's voice.
But then he added: "However, it seems that you can leave now."
Istanbul didn't respond immediately. After a moment of silence, he said, "Okay."
The huge shadow hidden behind the space gradually disappeared, and the terrifying feeling of oppression also faded away.
Eyes from all directions converged, filled with awe, fear, and amazement.
They didn't even figure out what had happened, but after the arrival of Lord Qinglong, the rumored forbidden life form.
One fled in panic, the other left helplessly.
The navigator's expression changed. He didn't expect that the situation would develop in this way, and Qinglong actually reversed the situation.
He seemed to have anticipated everything.
Anduin sighed and sighed, "Even without a mechanical body, Azure Dragon is still Azure Dragon."
In fact, Li Ming also breathed a sigh of relief. He really had no way to deal with Istanbul.
But the idea was right. Through Klonoa, this guy was indirectly intimidated, making him confused about the situation. There was no benefit, so he could only leave in disappointment.
As for Klonoa's embarrassing escape just now, it was actually very simple.
When he was resisting Istanbul's attack, he used the [Dimension Walker] to descend into Chlonoa's dimensional world and then absorbed the blood of the world.
This naturally caused panic in Chronoa, who thought he was going to drain the world's blood, and returned in fear.
Thinking about it, he looked towards the center of the field.
Without Klonoa's suppression, the Star of Eternal Silence in the hands of the Empire was also vibrating at a high frequency.
He flew straight over, and many eyes followed him, but no living creature left its position.
"The deterrence plan seems good..." Li Ming pondered in his heart.
The reason why he didn't deal with Chlonoa on the way here was that he was planning to use the other party as a deterrent tool.
Although he had [Giant God's Strike], there were too many X-level life forms involved in this matter, and he could not handle it with his individual strength alone.
Chlonoa is an important chess piece, and Li Ming already had two predictions.
If he doesn't turn against you, use his power to fight against others.
If the other party turns against us, we can use him to intimidate others, and we won’t lose either way.
The only uncertainty was Istanbul. In order to avoid accidents, he specially triggered the X-level [Life Power Core], with a [immunity] time of up to sixty seconds to complete his deterrence of Chronoa.
Li Ming felt it was worth it to spend 600 million metal energies to repair the [Life Power Core].
With the coordination of various capabilities, this deterrence plan was completed without any danger.
Of course, all of this is still passive defense. The most perfect situation is that a top-level X-level life form jumps out now, preferably at the level of Anatoly, and attacks him.
Then use [Giant God's Strike] to beat the opponent to death with a tough attitude.
Complete the double closed loop of defense and attack.
However, this group of people were too cautious and no one dared to move.
He was getting closer and closer to the core area, and the people of the empire were becoming more and more nervous.
Li Ming got rid of the "possession" and his actual body filled the inside of the tank guard, intending to seduce him using the identity of "Submariner".
As a result, it didn't work this time. The Star of Eternal Silence was still shaking violently, trying to fly out of the blockade of the imperial group.
Not only that, the part in his body reacted faintly, intending to break away.
"This piece is bigger, so it's stronger and not so easy to fool?" Li Ming guessed secretly.
Kostart gritted his teeth, holding a blood-red crystal in his hand, unable to move forward or backward. Without Klonoa's suppression, the Star of Eternal Silence almost flew away.
Qinglong is getting closer and closer, who knows what tricks he has.
Suddenly, the blood-colored crystal in his hand trembled violently, and the Star of Eternal Silence trembled violently, and then suddenly turned into a stream of bright blue light, as if it was about to leave here again.
"No, this is the last chance. Without Chlonoa, we won't even be qualified to enter next time." A fierce look flashed across Costat's eyes.
He suddenly crushed the blood-colored crystal in his hand, and a hazy blood mist enveloped it. It then turned into a big hand, grabbing the Eternal Silence Star that was about to escape.
This blood mist was unusual, and the trembling and resistance of the Eternal Star gradually subsided.
Are you going to succeed?
Li Ming frowned upon seeing this, but did not rush in recklessly.
[Giant Strike] is more useful in one-on-one situations. However, if you are facing a group attack, you will be in an awkward situation. You can't just hit once, get hit for three seconds, and then hit again. Even a fool can see that something is wrong.
Damage the "deterrent effect" he just created.
Another fragment emerged in the hand of the main body in the tank guard.
Suddenly, the Eternal Silence Star, which had been gradually calming down, was embraced by the blood-red giant hand.
He trembled again, as if hesitating and hesitating.
"What's going on?"
The others looked on in confusion and bewilderment. The Azure Dragon was not far from the core area, but it had stopped. The people of the Empire were facing a powerful enemy and did not dare to take the initiative to attack.
The Star of Eternal Silence is about to fall into the hands of the empire. Why doesn’t Qinglong take action?
"The Star of Eternal Silence has cracked?" someone exclaimed.
The Eternal Silence Star that was trembling in the blood mist suddenly split apart and turned into two streams of light, one of which sank into the blood mist.
Kostat's face changed drastically as he watched another arrow fall into Qinglong's raised metal palm at an extremely fast speed.
"this…?"
The higher life form of the empire that had been chasing him stopped abruptly in the distance. Through the eyes of the mecha, he felt a vague sense of fear and did not dare to move forward.
"Turns out there are two pieces..." Li Ming was quite surprised. The empire was quite impressive, and it actually managed to keep one piece. It was worthy of having controlled the Star of Eternal Silence for such a long time.
Tanwei held a fragment in his hand, the inner body also held a fragment in his hand, and Kostat, with an incredible look on his face, also held a fragment.
And between these three fragments, there was a special reaction. The bright blue light intertwined, the distorted boundary of time and space exploded, and then merged into one, like a countercurrent, rushing up into the sky.
Then, as everyone stared in astonishment, a scene like a virtual projection gradually emerged in the blue light like waves.
"This..." Li Ming was stunned, not knowing why this sudden change happened.
However, when he looked at the scene carefully, he became more and more surprised. "Is this... the Holy Castle?"
