Chapter 607: Ready to Harvest
"How dare you." Hermod's face darkened, his mind surging. "You two, are you planning to declare war on the three great civilizations?"
A mental wave responded: "Haha, Hermod, long time no see. I didn't expect that as soon as we met, you would put such a big hat on me."
It's Reynolds.
"Stop talking nonsense. Qinglong's methods are useless. I'm still here. I'll give you one more chance. Answer carefully." Hermod held the Kashmir Spear with a cold expression.
"Do you want to go to war with the Covenant, the Empire, and the Federation?"
"Yes, so what?" Mikhail responded indifferently.
Hermod couldn't help but pause, and was even a little puzzled. He didn't know where these two guys got the confidence from.
But then he sneered, "You don't know your own strength. Let alone a real war, even today, you may not be able to escape unscathed."
When Reynolds and Mikhail showed up, he was more surprised than frightened.
There is also a coalition force of three major civilizations outside the central node.
The mechanical legions of the two great master craftsmen could not rush in at the first time, and he was in the core area, holding the Kashmir Spear.
It won’t be too late to make Anduin and the others prisoners first, and then go out to fight.
The only one you need to be wary of is the Azure Dragon.
Um?
He seemed to sense the movement and turned around suddenly. Sure enough, Li Ming was wrapped in Qinglong's iconic mecha.
The X-level life forms around him retreated immediately and stared at him vigilantly.
"Qinglong?" It seemed to Hermode that external communications in this area had been blocked, but Qinglong could never be judged by common sense.
This mecha is quite good, but its combat power limit has long been estimated, and it will not exceed 500X. It is more for protecting Li Ming and acting as Qinglong's agent.
"Sir Hermode..." A voice with an electromagnetic hum came from the mecha.
"Are you surprised that I didn't leave?" Hermod couldn't help but say. He actually didn't know what happened up there, but he could guess that it must be Qinglong's doing.
"It's indeed unexpected, but it doesn't matter." Li Ming said lightly.
"Don't care?" Hemod sneered, thinking he was just trying to save face. Kashmir's gun tip drew an arc and pointed directly at the other party.
"Then why don't you dare to show your true self?"
Li Ming didn't respond to this, and a subtle mental wave surged out, "You two, have you brought enough of the things I asked you to bring?"
"Thirty, the two of us almost didn't get enough." Reynolds responded from a distance, seeming to be faintly excited.
Thirty what?
Hermod was subconsciously puzzled, and then he saw Qinglong raise his mecha arm, his metal thumb and middle finger overlapped, and his voice was still indifferent: "Then prepare to harvest."
As soon as the words fell, there was a "pop" sound and the crisp sound of metal collision was heard.
Qinglong snapped his fingers.
Strands of brilliant blue light intertwined, outlining an illusory crystal above its head, which then exploded with a bang, and the invisible force field suddenly spread out silently.
That crystal seems familiar...
Anduin was stunned, and then his face changed drastically. In his perception, the time parameters of the area in front of him suddenly stopped.
It's like a flowing river suddenly turning into a huge rock.
More importantly, it contains thirty X-level life forms from the three major civilizations.
It was like a mosquito trapped in amber, frozen in the void, with different expressions, some frowning, some uneasy, some sneering...
There was dead silence.
Time, at this moment, stands still!
"The Star of Eternal Silence!" Adam stood up in horror, his virtual projection dissipated, and his voice became distorted.
The remote virtual screen was locked by a special communication ship, and it could be seen clearly. The area seemed to have been paused and was frozen.
"The completely restored Eternal Star?" He was puzzled, his face stiff, "How...how is this possible!"
Although the crystal only appeared for a moment, Adam was certain that it was the complete form of the Eternal Star, without even a crack.
This sudden scene shattered all his expectations.
"The fully restored Eternal Star?"
Malcolm was also confused, and said in a difficult tone: "Adam, are you sure?"
Gutierrez was so shocked that he lost contact. He only reconnected after Malcolm said this, and he was also in disbelief.
How could Qinglong completely repair the Star of Eternal Silence?
…
Eyes were fixed on everything in the central node through various means. Time stood still and there were no energy fluctuations as surging as the sea.
Therefore, even the photography equipment of Interstellar Media can capture it clearly.
They didn't know what was happening, they could only see those high and mighty X-level life forms, seemingly at the mercy of others.
But the high-level commanders of the coalition forces of the three civilizations felt numb all over as if they had been electrocuted, and the blood almost drained from their faces.
"It's really horrifying." Mikhail's mechanical pupils also contracted.
Even though they had already known that the Star of Eternal Silence had been completely repaired.
But seeing this scene, my heart was still shocked.
Reynolds was speechless until Mikhail reminded him, "Bring the blocking equipment and get ready to act."
"That was the Star of Eternal Silence that just appeared, right? Sheffield and Barbaroer were speechless, feeling numb, as if they had been overwhelmed by the information.
Meanwhile, Sven in the corner was trembling all over, gritting his teeth, as if in a frenzy, "Why, why, why didn't you tell us earlier..."
Li Ming himself was also a little surprised. He didn't expect that this high-intensity use of the Star of Eternal Silence would result in strange phenomena.
But at this moment, he was more concerned about the rate of loss of metal energy and took a glance.
Even though he was mentally prepared, he couldn't help but twitch, and his heart was jumping at almost a nine-digit speed.
The cost of immobilizing thirty X-level life forms at once is unimaginably high.
Reynolds and Mikhail had already arrived and broke through the gap caused by the previous retreat of the Covenant fleet, and had a smooth journey.
The eight X-level mechanical bodies under his command did not move, and the large number of mechanical bodies they brought were strangely gathering towards the central area.
Li Ming's figure flashed and he was already in front of Hemod. He stretched out his hand and grabbed the Kashmir gun.
Huh? No control over the page?
Li Ming was stunned for a moment, and then he found that the surface of the Kashmir Spear was covered with a thin layer of energy, and the degree of damage was not too severe. The tip of the spear even remained intact and was trembling slightly at this moment.
The red symbols on the gun were like little snakes swimming around, struggling to cover the metal armor on Hermod's body, as if in some special combat state.
The armor was tailor-made for him, complementing this bloody symbol.
This thing was not frozen. Not only him, but also Hermod's eyes were trembling, as if they would tear the stagnant space apart at any time.
Li Ming's heart skipped a beat, purple light intertwined in his hands, and an infinite heavy hammer emerged.
[Giant God's Strike] was activated, and the surrounding void immediately shattered, and the terrifying force smashed directly towards Hermode's head.
boom!
It was a head-on collision, with swirling energy heading in all directions. The blood-colored symbol complemented the advanced armor on his body, allowing him to withstand the attack.
Hermod even managed to break free from control, and only a crisp click was heard.
Hemod was like a figure breaking free from the canvas. He didn't know that Li Ming no longer had the ability to attack again. He only felt his whole body shaking violently, and the Kashmir Spear had already been launched towards the giant hammer that was shaken away in front of him.
bite!
The spiral golden light of the Kashmir Spear collided with the purple hammer of the Infinite Hammer, and tens of millions of molten energy streams burst out in the first moment.
These streams of light did not propagate in a straight line, but rather entangled in mid-air like mating pythons, devouring each other and forming an ever-expanding incandescent white sphere.
Then it exploded with a loud bang, and a circular shock wave swept across the universe. Anduin's face was filled with horror, and he immediately pulled back.
The central node roared incessantly and began to collapse. All matter it came into contact with was annihilated to the particle level, and the aftermath of energy left an eternal scar in the vacuum.
However, those X-level life forms whose time and space were frozen had been wrapped up in it, and the violent power was wantonly ravaging their bodies.
A figure flew out backwards, Li Ming was frightened, and the purple light in his hand shattered.
The Kashmir Spear actually shattered his Infinite Hammer. Although it was imitated from the real Infinite Hammer, its hardness was almost the same.
Not only that, the Gun of Kashmir continued to grow larger in his pupils.
This thing's characteristics seem to be able to ignore obstacles.
If it were in its complete state, the Star of Eternal Silence would probably have difficulty affecting it, after all, it is not good at fighting.
Of course, there is another important factor. What [Damage] offsets is still the price he, an S-level life form, pays for using the Star of Eternal Silence.
If it is used by the Overlord, it may be different.
Li Ming did not resist. He had already used the [Giant God's Strike] and was equivalent to a disabled person. It was better for him to die.
Click--
The Kashmir spear pierced through his body. Hemod turned around indifferently, his pupils slightly constricted.
The shattered remains of the mecha rolled back like a countercurrent of time and space, and re-condensed.
"It's okay..." Reynolds, Mikhail breathed a sigh of relief.
In the core area of the energy explosion, the aftermath has not yet completely dissipated. Due to Li Ming's brief death, many X-level life forms that were trapped in a state of stagnant time and space have been freed.
He immediately fell into a daze, with severe pain sweeping through his nerves, and the surface of his body was destroyed beyond recognition.
Although the energy fluctuations generated by the collision between the Infinite Hammer and the Kashmir Spear were not directed at them, they had no defense measures at the time and were almost severely injured.
"What's going on? Why am I suddenly seriously injured?"
They didn't understand what was happening at all. Time was frozen, but it wasn't a space blockade.
Not only their bodies, but even their minds would come to a standstill.
They only saw Qinglong raise his arm, and then they realized it was now.
As a result, before they could scatter and escape, the whole thing froze again.
The consumption was actually reduced a lot. Li Ming couldn't help but be surprised, because these people were seriously injured?
"Star of Eternal Silence..." Hemod felt a chill down his spine as he looked at the crystal shadow that was disintegrating above his head.
It's so horrible, life and death are in the hands of others. If I didn't have the Kashmir gun, my fate would probably not be much better.
His eyes fell on the "Qinglong" in front of him, and what was even more wrong was that he found that the power just unleashed by this armor was completely beyond his imagination.
What is going on?
Whoosh--
Li Ming did not hesitate at all and headed towards the outside world along the passage that Reynolds and Mikhail had created.
As he had expected, the Star of Eternal Silence would hardly have any effect on the Spear of Kashmir, but he was not without countermeasures.
Catch the leader first!
Hermod's eyes narrowed slightly. Although he had many doubts in his mind, it was obvious that the other party could not beat him.
The gun turned into a stream of light and chased towards Li Ming.
Li Ming's speed is naturally not as fast as the Kashmir Gun, but he can use time freeze to delay time.
But after Kashmir entered the current combat state, the speed of the time condensation barrier became shorter, and Hemode seemed to break through one invisible obstacle after another and came towards Li Ming.
But Li Ming's hundreds of millions of metal energies were not wasted, and they obviously slowed down his speed.
Behind them, Hermod discovered that the mechanical army brought by Reynolds and Mikhail had almost gathered together instead of spreading out to form a battle formation.
"This... Mechanical Holy Spirit!"
Hermod's expression changed slightly. A slightly unfamiliar name emerged in his mind. He had almost forgotten about it.
And Li Ming has already loaded the [Holy Spirit Core].
The blazing light suddenly spread out from the moment he touched the first mechanical body of the mechanical legion, covering all the mechanical legions at present, like a golden sun.
"Hurry, hurry!" Hermod gritted his teeth, but the "walls" in front of him seemed to have no end, and each one would delay him for a moment.
Finally, he got close, but in the golden light, a pair of pale golden mechanical pupils seemed to open slightly, condensing and rotating.
In the blurry gap, you can vaguely see the light in the mechanical pupils becoming brighter and brighter.
boom!
Two beams of energy shot out from the mechanical pupils, breaking through the starry sky and heading towards Hermod.
The sound was terrifying, and it blasted out directly with endless fragments of the void, seemingly unmatched.
boom!
Hemod held the Kashmir Spear in front of him, and flew backwards as the energy collided.
After stabilizing himself, he looked carefully.
The golden light in front of him gradually faded, and a humanoid mechanical body more than ten meters tall emerged. Its entire body was smooth as if cast in one piece, and its overwhelming pressure burst out like a wave.
Eight X-level mechanical bodies, plus 600 million mechanical bodies of various types, have made the current Mechanical Holy Spirit reach an incredible level.
It can be said that it has reached the limit of the X-level limit. Li Ming only felt that a force that was enough to tear the universe apart was surging inside his body. He estimated that the combat energy level was close to 5000X.
This is a level he couldn't achieve even with [Giant God's Strike].
Countless eyes were focused on this scene, the warship's alarms were blaring, and all interstellar media were almost pressing the camera buttons to pieces.
The giant mechanical arm stretched out, and the energy gushing from the gaps in the arm armor condensed into a galaxy-shaped vortex. When the five fingers were clenched, a huge purple warhammer emerged and was tightly grasped in its hand.
None of his controlled objects can affect the Mechanical Holy Spirit, so this is the true form of the Infinite Hammer.
However, Li Ming used his professional ability for the first time in a long time, consuming 1 billion metal energies to carry out a specific strengthening of the Infinite Hammer.
Billions of molten gold lines cracked across the surface of the hammer, and streams of purple-gold light intertwined, accompanied by the almost endless energy of the Mechanical Holy Spirit pouring into it.
It even drew an arc, and with the void torn like silk cloth, it fell down fiercely.
Hermod's pupils contracted, and he attacked subconsciously, but he suddenly became dazed. He had always been on the alert for time interference, so the impact was naturally not as severe as before.
But even so, when he broke free from the interference, the giant hammer was already right in front of him.
Hermod was startled and acted hastily.
The hammer and the gun collided again, and the boiling ocean of energy exploded. Wherever the aftermath swept, the void collapsed inch by inch.
The warships that broke away from the joint shield had no time to dodge and could only be annihilated into ashes. Even the joint shield was struggling to hold on, and its surface kept flickering.
However, this time it was Hemod who flew backwards, his figure leaving a trail of shattered void.
