Chapter 588: Champagne at Halftime
In the Holy Castle, the Inspector stared at the mechanical body in front of him. Its facial features were extremely realistic, its shell looked like a blend of ceramic and liquid metal, and its shoulder armor had bone patterns emitting from it.
The hexagonal scales on the chest surface converge downward along the waistline, and the mechanical pupils are more like insect compound eyes rotating at a constant speed.
He could tell at a glance that the strength of this mechanical body was not very high, and could even be called... weak.
The flexible metal between his eyebrows was folded together. He didn't know what the purpose of "Qinglong" coming here was. Was it just to send such a mechanical body in?
He glanced at the outside world again, and in his mechanical pupils, he saw crisscrossing chains, completely cutting off the Holy Castle's external connection.
These civilizations are very familiar with the Holy Castle and use targeted methods.
"What instructions does Qinglong give you?" He turned his head again and looked at the mechanical body, thinking that the other party might be carrying some kind of instructions from Qinglong.
"The master told me not to do anything but stay here." The monitor was stunned by the machine's response.
After repeated questioning, he confirmed that the other party really did not seem to have any special instructions, which made him even more puzzled. Then he said helplessly: "Sorry for the trouble."
Although he had used the Titan's heart to forcibly adjust the core rules of the Holy Castle, making it impossible for the chosen ones to enter through the loophole of the King Trial.
However, based on some information he got from the chosen person in front of him, the other party's methods were far more than that.
Compared to Qinglong, the cheating guy, he could not accept these and intended to forcibly open the civilization of the Holy Castle.
Moreover, Qinglong now suspected to have the talent to fight against Yongyuan, and his value was far higher than that of the chosen one.
Thinking in his mind, the Inspector turned his gaze to the black metal box on the ground.
As soon as he picked it up, he felt a clear difference. It was quite heavy, and its material was far beyond the reach of the mechanical body.
Under top light, it reveals a contradictory feeling between liquid and solid, like an ink stick pressed from meteorite powder.
"This thing..." A bright blue light shone from his pupils as he scanned the entire thing. The internal structure was extremely delicate.
"Be sure to hold it well." A voice came from the side.
The Overseer responded instinctively, "Of course I..."
As a result, before he finished speaking, he suddenly understood.
He saw that the mechanical body was looking at him, with a very familiar expression on its extremely realistic face.
The Supervisor immediately had a guess in his mind and asked in surprise, "You... are... Qinglong?"
"Good eyesight." Li Ming responded.
The Supervisor was even more surprised. "How did you project your consciousness here?"
It was a little hard for him to understand. The Holy Castle itself was also an extremely powerful shielding device, and hyperdimensional communication was the only external link allowed.
This was created by the masters, and the signal blockade is far more powerful than the blockade methods outside.
Even he had no way.
"It's just a little trick, don't worry about it." Li Ming responded casually.
His eyes swept over the chosen one who was hiding on the side and trembling slightly. This kid was still alive.
The other party looked a little frightened and didn't dare to look him in the eye.
"A little trick..." The Inspector was speechless. It was the same answer again. He had heard it countless times.
But I didn’t think about going into it any further. As long as I could contact the other party, that would be the best.
Li Ming reached out and took the black metal box from the inspector's hand.
As he adjusted his grip, some dormant energy flow began to awaken within the box.
Countless purple light veins thinner than a hair spread outward from the contact point, forming patterns similar to a vascular network on the surface.
[Information state entanglement sub-device - special type: can be used as a sub-device for super-dimensional information state entanglement,
…
Control Ability - Information State Entanglement: Can be entangled with the mother body over a long distance, and can also be used in materialization.
This is part of the [Information State Entanglement Device], and the other part is still in his control column.
[Information state entanglement device--Level X: Communication matrix.
…
Control effect: Perception is enhanced a hundredfold.
Control ability - information entanglement: Select a sub-body and ignore the blockade to carry out information entanglement.
As the metal box rotates, the pupils of the mechanical body gradually change.
In front of the Holy Castle, a mimicking body took shape again.
The monitor was stunned, his eyes fixed on the metal box, and he roughly understood what it was used for.
He had seen this method in the Titan era, and it was not considered a special method.
However, the most incredible thing is that the other party can shake these things out from the mimic body.
The most technologically advanced technology in the Holy Castle should be the hyperdimensional information state transmission technology.
A specific object can be completely broken down into its information state and then transferred to another place, but the conditions are very harsh.
The core device was built by the Lord himself and cannot be interfered with in any way.
But this guy obviously didn't use similar methods, and there were almost no abnormal fluctuations.
"Huh..." Li Ming stretched his limbs and couldn't help but sigh, "Flesh and blood are still comfortable to use."
The next moment, this mimic body suddenly disintegrated, and his consciousness once again descended upon the mechanical body beside him.
"What are you doing? Going back and forth." The Supervisor couldn't help but ask.
"I'm afraid this enhanced communication will be discovered, so I won't use it for the time being," Li Ming explained.
If he simply wanted to contact the Supervisor, he would just need to send the mechanical body over.
There is no need to consume metal energy or world blood to upgrade the [Information State Entanglement Device] to level x.
The problem is that the mechanical body can carry his consciousness, but it cannot carry his strength.
Only by mimicking the body can he fully unleash his strength to control the blessing.
When dealing with possible accidents, you have to use a mimic body to keep up appearances.
This mechanical body is only used for daily communication.
The Overseer nodded, then stared at him suspiciously, and abruptly asked, "Have you passed the Lesser Overlord Trial?"
"Huh?" Li Ming was a little confused and asked in surprise, "Where did you come to this conclusion?"
"I thought you went to such great lengths to contact the Saint Castle because you had made another major breakthrough in your own strength."
The Overseer looked disappointed.
Li Ming was speechless and could not help but ask: "Is the Secondary Domination Trial played by humans? It's extremely difficult. No matter how powerful I am, it's impossible for me to reach that level in such a short time."
"I misunderstood." The Supervisor shook his head and sighed: "After all, your previous progress was quite fast."
Why do I feel a little suffocated? Is this old guy teasing me?
Li Ming was unusually unsure and muffled his words, "I'm worried about any accidents happening here. After I've dealt with the issues in the main universe, I'll try to contact you again."
"Nothing has happened during this period, right?"
"No." The Supervisor shook his head. "The other party was very quiet and didn't make any meaningless attempts, but I don't think this silence will last long."
"I received news that the three major civilizations have found many chosen individuals and intend to squeeze in again using the same method as before."
Having said that, Li Ming looked at the chosen person who was sent in earlier, only to see that the boy had curled up in the shadows, trying hard to conceal his existence.
The Overseer spoke now, "I have adjusted the core rules."
Li Ming nodded: "I know. What I mean is, after the other party finds that this method doesn't work, will they force an attack? What is the probability of them breaking through here, and how long will it take?"
"The probability of a forced attack is low." The Supervisor said, but he didn't seem to have much confidence. He said, "But they do seem to have other means."
"Oh?" Li Ming became interested, but saw the Supervisor calling Leonidas over. "He knows a lot of information."
Li Ming's gaze shifted, even though it was just a mechanical body carrying consciousness.
But Leonidas still felt an extremely strong sense of oppression for no reason. This was caused by the word "Qinglong" and everything he had seen last time.
He said with a stiff upper lip, "Your Excellency Qinglong..."
"What's your name?" Li Ming asked calmly.
"Leonidas..." He responded in a low voice, but then heard His Excellency Qinglong say:
"Don't be so nervous. I have no ill will towards you. If you know any information, please tell me."
"If you and I are lucky enough to survive in the end, you still have a chance to go back."
A bitter smile appeared on Lai Onidak's face. Whether it was with Heckler or Qinglong, cooperation was his only choice.
He gathered his thoughts and explained, "I was only captured to be used as a tool. I only heard bits and pieces of their conversation."
"Heckler..." He paused before saying, "Heckler, he has a backup plan."
"Using me is just the preferred plan. From what I know, he seems to have some method that can dissipate the energy shield in a short period of time, but it comes at a huge cost."
Li Ming couldn't help but be surprised. The energy shield of the Holy Castle was extremely strong, which also exceeded the upper limit of X-level life forms and must have reached the ultimate level.
Heckler actually has a way to solve it in a short time?
"What were his exact words?" Li Ming asked.
"...It means to dissolve..." Leonidas understood what he meant and said carefully:
"Using this method seems to require the consent of certain people, which is also an important reason why Heckler is reluctant to use this method."
Probably Adam's consent was needed, and Heckler was unwilling to let Adam interfere.
Even if the price is extremely high... Li Ming's face was solemn. Extremely high divided by three should not be too high.
However, now is the good news.
The three major civilizations don’t know that I have come here again. No matter what means I use, I can catch them off guard.
"Um?"
The Overseer suddenly looked outside the barrier in confusion.
With a raise of the hand, virtual projections interweave, revealing the outside world.
"Are these... the chosen ones?" Li Ming came back to his senses and looked at the screen.
………
Several figures flew out from the joint flagship, and in the front were the detained chosen ones, looking uneasy.
Those responsible for escorting them were all X-level life forms, holding a purple skull in their hands.
Not far behind him, Kostart and his four companions followed closely behind. Except for Heckler, the other three looked very happy.
"The Chosen..." Schmidt sighed, "Why would those Overlord-class Titans go to such great lengths? These Chosen Ones aren't that great, actually."
Hines casually responded, "Perhaps it's because all the Titans are dead, and the Overlords are reluctant to give them to other races for no reason."
"Alas..." Schmidt sighed, seeming to feel some pity for the world. "This has caused quite a bit of trouble. Once we resolve the problem of the Holy Castle, we'll be able to free up our hands to deal with Azure Dragon."
When the name Qinglong was mentioned again, the atmosphere was no longer as quiet as before.
This time they achieved a small victory, isolating Qinglong from the Holy Castle and restoring a lot of confidence.
"Things are almost ready over at Chaos Star Gap. In order to prevent Azure Dragon from disrupting the situation, we've decided to mobilize..." Schmidt spoke vaguely, but Heckler looked over.
"I don't think he'll show up." Costat shook his head. "He's not stupid. He's been hiding and hasn't shown up yet because he's worried about our methods."
"It doesn't matter whether he shows up or not," Hines said indifferently. "Without the Titan Relic, he poses no threat."
"That's not right. He still has half of the Star of Eternal Silence in his hand."
Kostat's expression was indifferent. "The Star of Eternal Silence has been shattered. Even we have difficulty in mobilizing it. Even if he were a master craftsman, he couldn't repair it. It's like waste."
A few people talk to each other,
And one of the chosen ones has been detained and sent to the front.
In the distance, two X-level life forms were already in position. Although their strength was weaker than Tandin's, their combined lethality was enough to squeeze in.
No one cared. Heckler had succeeded once before, and he would definitely succeed this time.
They are more concerned about future plans.
"The Crown of Diglas, with its unrivaled defense..." Hines said, hinting, "Once we obtain it, who will keep it? Will the three major civilizations keep it together?"
When this was mentioned, the originally lively atmosphere immediately cooled down.
Kostadt's eyes flickered, and Schmidt remained silent.
Heckler glanced over with something like resentment, this should have been his alone.
Although the three major civilizations have united, they have tacitly kept silent about how to divide the spoils.
There is only one Titan relic, but they have three.
It is definitely impossible to divide it evenly.
However, thinking about dividing the spoils before getting the things will only lead to internal strife.
The three major civilizations are accustomed to this kind of thing, so it is natural that they would not make such a mistake.
But right now, the plan is progressing steadily, and getting the things is just around the corner.
Hines could no longer suppress his inner thoughts.
"Taking turns to keep them isn't safe. What if some lunatic, relying on the possession of two Titan relics, rashly starts a war?" Schmidt said calmly, "It's better to have joint custody."
"Qinglong still has one last chance: to disappear. After this incident, I estimate that the United Organization of Higher Life Forms will become our next big problem."
"This thing is specifically used to deal with the advanced alliance, how about it?"
Costat, however, did not participate in the discussion and shook his head, saying, "Isn't it too early to consider this now?"
