Chapter 599 Complete Repair [Time Master]
Li Ming naturally didn't care what the two of them were thinking and hurried back to the Heavenly Palace.
The two brought a wide variety of materials, but compared to the metal materials he looted from the holy fortress bases of the three major civilizations, they were overall of more than one level lower.
There are also quite a few metal materials that are quite large in size.
The technological premium of cutting-edge alloys is quite high. For the same price, the metal energy extracted is not as good as that of these slightly lower-level alloys.
Li Ming rubbed his hands and immediately began to absorb.
This time it took a little longer, nearly three days, to barely absorb it all.
It was about the same as he expected, providing him with approximately 24 billion metal energies.
When you open the control page, the most eye-catching thing is the number starting with "6".
That's right, his current metal energy balance has exceeded 60 billion, reaching an astonishing 63 billion.
Originally, he had 15 billion metal energies, but because of the series of preparations required for lurking, as well as the production and upgrading of various control objects, he consumed about 2 billion metal energies.
This means that he plundered 26 billion metal energies from the Holy Castle base.
It was more than what he had squeezed out of Reynolds and Mikhail.
"Repair, repair..." Li Ming breathed a sigh of relief, and the broken Star of Eternal Silence appeared in his hand. The bright blue light naturally caused the surrounding void to begin to distort.
As the metal energy surged into it, liquid spots of light suddenly precipitated from the cross-section of the prismatic crystal fracture, and those spots of light moved along the direction of the fragmentation like living mercury.
This is the materialization of highly compressed metal energy, which Li Ming can simply call "universal metal."
The moment each broken crack is filled with light, it will trigger a flash similar to a supernova explosion, accompanied by an unstable explosion of the time distortion force field.
The missing parts of the crystal are being filled, and this time the metal energy is not filling the gap directly, but creating a micro space-time closed loop at the edge of the gap.
Within these closed loops, the fusion process at the birth of the Eternal Star is repeated at a thousand times the speed.
Li Ming could only see that new structures were constantly growing on the damaged edge, just like other parts.
He didn't know how the Star of Eternal Silence was created, but it was definitely not in this way.
"It's really... unbelievable."
Li Ming couldn't help but sigh with emotion at such a magnificent and mysterious scene.
The time distortion caused by the repair caused the surrounding void to begin to crystallize. This was the self-reaction of the universe caused by the rapid change of time, an attempt to curb the disordered time parameters.
As time passed, the entire crystal suddenly began to spin on its own, and an invisible light wave suddenly spread out, reflecting some strange scenes around it -
A group of shirtless giants were forging in the void with huge hammers in their hands, and some kind of patterns were floating on the surface of their gnarled muscles.
The hammer head hit some kind of bright blue material, causing a flash of light, not a spark, but a group of micro black holes.
This seems to be the scene when the Eternal Star was born.
Fifty billion metal energies were lost. Li Ming couldn't help but stretch out his hand and hold the completely repaired Star of Eternal Silence in his hand again.
[Star of Eternal Silence - Ultimate: A super weapon forged by the Titan race with all its might, possessing the terrifying power to manipulate time.
…
Control Effect - Time Immunity: Immune to any time anomalies caused by anyone other than the host himself.
Ability to control - Time master: having the ability to regulate time.
Control Ability - Damage: can consume the integrity of the controlled object to offset the cost of use.
(Note: Some abilities are ineffective on the host due to special factors.)
There was a gleam in Li Ming's eyes, and the effect was upgraded from extremely high resistance to direct immunity.
All other complicated abilities are gone, integrated into [Time Master], simple and brutal.
The additional ability is also good. Although the cost of using it is offset by loss, he can completely accept it.
At least at certain critical moments, you won't have to watch helplessly while holding such a powerful weapon due to insufficient mana.
It is not difficult to collect metal energy now, it just takes time.
However, it is difficult to visually see how much it has been enhanced.
Li Ming was full of anticipation and put the Star of Eternal Silence back into the main control column. He immediately felt a clear difference.
With the previous fragments, he could only activate certain specific abilities, but this [Time Master] was different.
Time, which is so mysterious and can only be understood in the abstract, becomes concrete before his eyes.
It was a rather strange feeling, as if he had never learned piano, but the music scores of all the piano masters in the galaxy were in his mind.
Bang!
He snapped his fingers, and the whole room seemed to stagnate, with dust floating in the air and energy surging in the pipes.
With a thought, time begins to flow again.
He casually took out a piece of ordinary alloy, and it began to age rapidly in his hands until it crumbled into powder, but in an instant it reversed and returned to its original state.
"Controlling time at will, this is the peak state of the Titan's holy relic..." Li Ming was extremely satisfied. It was worth it for him to spend so much energy to collect this batch of metal energy.
He then tried regional time adjustments.
After careful reflection, his eyes gleamed with brilliance and his heart couldn't help but tremble.
1:10!
The speed of time flow can be as fast as 1:10.
The difference in flow rate was beyond his imagination.
Regional time regulation is completely different from the time regulation of objects.
He can also make himself age rapidly, but the development progress will not change at all. In essence, it is the regulation of single time information.
Only by adjusting the overall environment can he take advantage of this flow rate difference for development.
And this is a change to the universe, which is destined not to be too high.
He originally guessed that it might be 1:5, but he didn't expect it to be 1:10, which is more than a huge increase.
After calming down a little, he subconsciously estimated that the flow rate difference was as high as 1:10. Even if it was just to cover himself, the cost would increase a lot.
Even if you use various abilities and potions to recover, you will need to rest for one day after three days of continuous adjustment.
"Under these circumstances, it takes about thirteen days for my development progress to advance by 1%."
Li Ming couldn't help but grin, "That means, in just eleven months, my development progress will reach 90%."
It was worth his time and energy to prepare the metal energy.
At the same time, in the lounge, Mikhail looked at Reynolds hesitantly, "Did you feel it just now?"
Reynolds also muttered, "It seems a bit strange, as if time has fluctuated."
Mikhail nodded, "Yes, that's right, it is indeed a time fluctuation."
"Is Qinglong repairing the Star of Eternal Silence?" Reynolds asked uncertainly.
"Here?" Mikhail asked, "Qinglong is so cautious that he would try to repair the Star of Eternal Silence here. Maybe he is deliberately showing it to us... Someone is coming..."
Before Reynolds could retort, he looked at the metal door that had been pushed open.
"So fast?" Mikhail looked at him strangely, ready to respond to Qinglong's words.
It's only been two or three days, how can we possibly do anything?
He was basically certain that Qinglong could indeed make simple repairs, but that was all.
When he shows it later, we still have to act a little embarrassed, otherwise this guy might blackmail us.
He pondered in his heart, but saw Qinglong remained silent and just stretched out his hand.
The next moment, a crystal emitting a bright blue light appeared in his palm.
The two people's attention was drawn to it immediately.
"This is…"
Mikhail was stunned. The various mechanical components inside his body began to operate at high speed, but he could only detect a chaotic time parameter.
He immediately leaned forward, his cheeks changing dramatically, his mechanical pupils condensing and expanding, the internal structure of the crystal was so complicated that even if his vision was magnified a hundred thousand times, he could not see the specific details.
Mikhail felt a surge of fear in his heart.
"This...can't be..." His voice was hoarse and seemed unbelievable.
"Shit, the Star of Eternal Silence, in its complete state?" Reynolds next to him shouted in surprise.
In the deep dimensional world, when the giant screen of time and space was formed, Qinglong held it in his hand for a long time, and its appearance was no longer a secret.
But the crystal in front of me is intact.
"Is this really the Star of Eternal Silence?" Mikhail couldn't believe it.
He thought that this so-called restoration would at most involve witnessing the Azure Dragon filling in the cracks.
As a result, this guy actually brought out the one that was intact.
This shock made him subconsciously think that Qinglong was fooling him.
But precisely because this matter was too outrageous, he hesitated. Qinglong couldn't possibly treat them as fools, right?
Li Ming didn't explain too much. He put his palms together, the Star of Eternal Silence disappeared, and he snapped his fingers.
Before Mikhail could react, he was horrified to find that his body seemed to be stuck in a quagmire, and everything in the outside world was moving at an extremely high speed.
Amidst the drifting dust, numbers appeared on the holographic screen in front of Qinglong.
Then, these features move at an extremely slow speed.
When he reacted again, Qinglong's finger was already against his forehead.
when?
Mikhail was confused and suddenly fell into a trance.
He seemed to see himself returning to the Godcrafter's laboratory, working on the experiments that had not been completed before.
In the blink of an eye, the experimental process was repeated dozens of times.
He became more and more horrified. Is this... the future?
He could naturally see that every method and process used by himself in the scene was flawless, and his subtle behavioral habits were no different from his own.
It’s just that the parameters called each time are different, and the possibilities in the future are endless.
boom!
Everything in front of him exploded, but he still didn't come back to his senses.
He is an X-class mechanical body, and the time strength of its base components is even stronger than that of ordinary X-class life forms. He cannot be easily affected.
And this influence is not a random distortion, but is under Qinglong's conscious control, going in a certain direction and at will.
This kind of ability...if it weren't for the Star of Eternal Silence, he really couldn't think of any other situation in which it could be achieved.
Reynolds looked at him in confusion. Mikhail raised his head with difficulty, his expression changing. "Your Excellency's methods are truly... unbelievable."
"Is that really the Star of Eternal Silence?" Reynolds couldn't help but shout and question Mikhail's reaction:
"Qinglong, you pervert, how did you do that? You only have half a piece in your hand. Tell me the truth, are you an ultimate life form?"
"I now seriously suspect that you are already the Ultimate Life Form."
The two of them completely lost their composure, one screaming and the other remaining silent.
The look he gave Li Ming was not only of shock, but also of... awe?
But Li Ming was thinking that when he influenced Mikhail, he used [Damage]. In this short period of time, it would take about 12 million metal energies to repair it.
Hmm... that's acceptable. However, if it affects X-level life forms on a larger scale, even a brief pause would cost hundreds of millions.
He was also helpless. The impact on the X-level life form consumed too much energy, and his current small body could not bear it at all.
"The three great civilizations are really asking for trouble by choosing you as their opponent." Mikhail couldn't help but sigh.
It is meaningless to think about how Qinglong was repaired now.
He even believed that the Star of Eternal Silence had actually been repaired long ago.
When Qinglong asked for resources before, it was not blackmail, but a test to see how much confidence the two had in him.
With the fully restored Star of Eternal Silence, the three major civilizations will certainly be unable to do anything to Azure Dragon, and the fourth pole of the universe is already rising.
Then he became energetic again, fortunately he had been cautious before and did not become a mortal enemy with Qinglong.
Reynolds couldn't help but say excitedly, "Haha, that's right, we're definitely going to teach them a lesson this time."
"But..." Mikhail, after all, was cunning and sly, and reminded: "I suggest you not to confront it head-on..."
But halfway through, he shook his head and said, "Your Excellency should have your own ideas. Just ignore what I said."
Li Ming said calmly, "I understand. I only revealed this thing because I promised you two before. I will not look down on the three major civilizations because of this."
"Do you need our help this time?" Mikhail asked proactively.
Tsk… Li Ming couldn’t help but sigh.
This thing is really powerful. Even an old fox like Mikhail volunteered to do it.
Reynolds had mentioned it several times before, but Mi always pretended to be deaf and dumb and never offered to help.
Li Ming naturally wouldn't refuse, and said thoughtfully, "If it's possible, you two can make some preparations."
Reynolds laughed out loud and rubbed his hands together, "Okay, okay, I'll go back and get some help. I'm still pissed off about the last time I was threatened by those two old guys, Tandin and Alves."
"This time, I have to give them a big surprise."
Mikhail also nodded. If he didn't make some effort in this easy-to-win game, he would be a real fool.
It seemed like he hadn't taken action for a long time. Thinking of this, the speed of energy flow inside his body increased dramatically.
After some discussion, the two hurried back.
The coalition forces of the three major civilizations will soon arrive at the chaotic star gap, and they don’t have much time left.
Not long after seeing the two off, Li Ming received the news.
The three major civilizations have sent notifications to the six X-level life forms in the Chaos Star Gap, including Anduin.
They were ordered to arrive at the central node of chaos within one month, wait for their arrival, and cooperate in various matters.
