Chapter 608 Gun in hand!
He managed to steady himself at a great distance, his face flushed red, and his arm holding the Kashmir Spear was shaking.
No, the current Mechanical Holy Spirit is too strong.
Hermod's cheeks twitched slightly, and the energy in his body was boiling.
Bright red blood flowed out from the cracks in the metal armor, but was swallowed up by the blood-colored symbols covering the surface.
Its body underwent a special change, and a blood crystal-like bone spur grew out from the inside of the metal armor.
His metal armor had been specially adapted, and the metal plates at the relevant positions had faded away. A pair of blood crystal wings stretched out from his back. He silently clenched the Kashmir Spear, and the tingling sensation in his palms became more and more intense.
The coalition fleet behind them had already dispersed, and the warships at the edge had even begun to jump away from the scene, with no intention of offering any more resistance.
The blood-colored lines originating from the Kashmir Spear gradually covered the blood crystal body. Two strange feelings of weakness and strength intertwined inside his body, and his vitality was overdrawn.
Even so, he didn't have much resistance. If it happened a few more times, he would definitely be defeated...
suspect?
Hermod's pupils contracted, and the scene before his eyes changed again, without him knowing when.
The molten golden hammer surface once again obscured the entire field of vision. The void even solidified under the hammer surface, condensing into tens of millions of transparent steel needles that pierced his pupils.
He could clearly see the boiling liquid energy on the surface of the hammer.
This is the body of the Infinite Hammer, driven by the energy of the Mechanical Holy Spirit. What it unleashes is not just power, but also various force fields that unfold.
This broken gun is indeed powerful, but Li Ming doesn't believe that there is no cost to use it.
The rumbling sound of metal collision seemed to resonate in everyone's soul, causing a shudder of terror.
A dazzling ball of light appeared at the point of collision, like a newborn star, with boiling prominences floating on its surface. It suddenly bloomed and turned into rings of red ripples, extending infinitely in all directions.
The combined shield could no longer withstand the attack and began to break apart piece by piece. The mothership's keel was annihilated in the strong light, and the commanders' alloy nameplates were melting into liquid.
Hermod's body tore through the coalition fleet, causing a series of explosions.
He was furious, spitting out blood, and his breath became increasingly weak. The blessing brought by the Kashmir Spear could not completely prevent the attack of the Mechanical Holy Spirit.
Moreover, the gun was still absorbing his vitality.
It would be fine if I died, but if the Kashmir Spear fell into Qinglong's hands, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Thinking of this, Hemod gritted his teeth, looked down at the Kashmir Spear in his hand, tensed his muscles, clenched his hand, and swung it in a semi-arc as if throwing it.
At the same time, the red lines covering his armor suddenly became brighter, and the metal armor underwent a strange change, turning into flowing liquid metal.
Blood-colored lines were engraved on his skin through the liquid, and the blood-colored lines on the bone spurs and the blood crystal wings behind him were all glowing.
"Qinglong, I must kill you with my life!" Hermod's mental fluctuations burst out.
Li Ming's mechanical pupils captured abnormal information. Various data flowed in his field of vision, which looked extremely complicated, but he could understand the meaning of these data in real time.
This seemed to be some kind of forbidden method, the moment the Kashmir Spear slipped out of his hand.
Hermod's body had been torn apart, with his spine collapsing first. Every drop of splattered blood turned into a burning star, his torso exploded into a blood-red galaxy, his broken bones solidified into a gun body support, and his flesh and blood mixed with the metal armor, turning into living solder to repair the cracks.
The Kashmir Spear greedily sucked every drop of energy, and bloody tentacles extended from the cracks and pierced into the remains. The cracks on the gun were filled with flesh and blood.
Huh? So evil?
Li Ming became alert, he didn't expect that the Kashmir Gun had such ability.
This attack must be very powerful, but he was not too worried.
The worst that could happen is that he would be shot and killed, and Hermod would most likely have been sacrificed. Without an operator, he could just play with the gun however he wanted.
But... he also felt something was wrong. Could it be that Hermod didn't realize this?
Using the gunman as fuel, the Kashmir Gun burst out at an unimaginable speed, and a blood-red energy ring exploded behind it.
The flesh and blood that filled the cracks began to burn slowly like an energy bar, tearing apart all the power that descended upon the universe.
But the target was not him. Instead, it tore through the void and headed in another direction.
"He is really going to run away." Li Ming sneered in his heart. He had already expected that the time force field would cover the Mechanical Holy Spirit.
At the same time, he quickly mobilized the Star of Eternal Silence, and metal energy gushed out like a flood, and the body of the Mechanical Holy Spirit suddenly disappeared on the spot.
When he reappeared, he was already near the Kashmir Gun.
Time cut shadow, he erased the brief time required for the Mechanical Holy Spirit to move and descended directly.
At the same time, a giant metal palm had already fallen, grabbing the broken gun that was trying to escape in its hand, and a pulling force was about to pull him into the void.
But after a brief strengthening, the infinite heavy hammer fell and hit the gun hard, and the boiling energy burst out, covering the area again.
………
! !
Gutierrez, with a tense expression, seemed to have punched the desk, and the virtual projection became unfocused and seemed to be roaring continuously.
It took a while before he connected, with a dejected look on his face.
It’s over…
The massive joint operation of the three civilizations is over.
More importantly, his position as chairman of the Star Alliance is probably over.
The Spear of Kashmir, once out of control, will most likely be suppressed by Azure Dragon.
If he loses this gun, he will be impeached by everyone.
Adam's expression was even more complicated, as if it contained a lot of meanings: disappointment, helplessness, and pity...
After thirty level X life forms were frozen in time.
Adam knew that the outcome was set and there were only two possible outcomes for Hermod: he could leave or he couldn't leave.
Bad and worse.
But it is almost impossible for them to make a comeback.
However, although I had foreseen this, I still felt unwilling to accept the fact that things had finally come to an end.
Malcolm slowly let out a long sigh. Everyone else was in a different mood, but in comparison, he felt more relaxed.
Fortunately, as soon as he saw that the situation was not good, he ordered the Allied warships on the scene to evacuate, and now more than half of them have been evacuated.
After all, he is an elected president and is very sensitive to such matters. There are so many soldiers, and countless families are involved behind them. If they are all left behind, it will be a big trouble.
After all, he is not like Adam who has a hereditary succession, nor is he like Gutierrez who mainly serves in the Star Alliance as a representative of civilization and does not have to face the citizens of various civilizations directly.
He needs to be directly responsible to the citizens. The impact of the capture of high-level life forms may not be as great as that of so many low-level soldiers.
However, the current situation is quite serious, and his political opponents will definitely not give up this opportunity to attack him.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a headache.
"It's over..." Adam sighed deeply, "Qinglong's fate is decided."
It’s not just because of those people who were captured, the more important thing is that Qinglong is suspected of repairing the Star of Eternal Silence.
The one with the highest energy level among the X-level life forms living in the area frozen in time should be Gaius, with a combat capability exceeding 1200X, but even so he is still unable to move.
This kind of large-scale, high-level, and unpredictable time manipulation has never been achieved even when the Empire controlled the Star of Eternal Silence.
Malcolm also saw the future and said helplessly: "The Spear of Kashmir has fallen into his hands. In the main universe, we no longer have a chance to deal with him."
"After this incident, those fence-sitters in the United Organization of Higher Life Forms will surely strongly support Azure Dragon and prepare to coexist harmoniously."
No... there's still a chance.
Adam's eyes were serious. As the ultimate life form, this was his only chance to deal with Qinglong or Li Ming. He still had hope.
He was not targeting Li Ming specifically. If Qinglong was a veteran X-level life form like Reynolds or Mikhail, he would have a clear growth trajectory.
Then the next step must be to prepare to get along with it for a long time, and there may be cooperation in the future.
But Adam was already 99% sure that Qinglong was Li Ming.
Even with such a big thing happening, his real body still did not show up and he was still using that mecha.
The mechanical body used to synthesize the Mechanical Holy Spirit is also the mechanical body under Reynolds and Mikhail's command.
He has no power of his own, and the scale of the mechanical bodies under his command is not enough to support his fusion of the mechanical body Holy Spirit.
What is the concept?
It has grown to this level in just a few years and is suspected to be able to repair broken Titan relics.
The secret hidden in Li Ming is even greater than that of all the holy castles combined.
How could he let go of the greed in his heart?
At his point, there isn't much left for him to pursue. As long as there is hope for his goal of Li Ming, he will not give up.
"Do we have to stop at the Holy Castle as well?" Gutierrez said with some effort.
"Of course we can't stop." Adam shook his head. "Living in harmony with him in the universe doesn't mean we have to give him the Holy Castle for free."
"But he has our people in his hands." Malcolm said worriedly.
Adam glanced over indifferently. Both of these guys were troubled by the area under their butts, afraid that something might go wrong.
If anything happens to these people, Malcolm will have to resign.
"Let's see what he's going to do," Adam said. "If Qinglong believes the Holy Castle is already in his hands, he won't use these people to force us to back down. Instead, he'll propose a different price."
"Based on my understanding of him, it will probably be the second one."
"That's right." Malcolm said, looking slightly more excited. "This time, they caught us off guard. As for the Saint Castle, we have to catch him off guard as well. We have to act quickly before he can react."
"But..." He hesitated, "This time, Azure Dragon's true form didn't show up?"
"He should be at the scene, probably busy controlling the Star of Eternal Silence and can't spare any time." Adam responded casually.
Malcolm nodded in realization. He knew very well how high the cost of using the Titan artifact was. It was obviously impossible to control time at will by just snapping his fingers as the "Blue Dragon" showed.
"If he threatens the lives of the captives, the Federation will withdraw from the battle for the Holy Fortress." Gutierrez gave a warning first.
"There is another question. How much does it cost to use the Kashmir Gun?" Malcolm asked.
Gutierrez hesitated and said, "The Kashmir Spear must be fueled by vitality. With the intensity of the battle just now, the vitality has been greatly damaged. Even if Hermod survives, he will have to choose a new wielder after returning."
"That's good news. He obviously won't bear such a price, and there are currently no other X-level flesh and blood people under his command." Malcolm breathed a sigh of relief.
Qinglong alone controls two Titan creatures, and his deterrent power is too great. Now that he knows that one of them has great limitations, it will be much easier to deal with.
"The matter of the corpse." Gutierrez said in a deep voice. This was the only bargaining chip he could use to explain to the insiders.
Adam glanced at him calmly and said, "Wait until you have dealt with the current situation, then we can talk. I won't break my promise."
"I also have to go discuss the contingency plan." Malcolm also logged off.
Gutierrez's face was grim. From the attitudes of the two men, he sensed a sentiment: "If you can keep your position this time, then talk to us two again."
………
The central node of the chaos has collapsed beyond all possibility of collapse. Scattered debris is floating around, gradually forming a meteorite belt, and the coalition fleet is becoming scattered and sparse.
As early as the first moment, some warships had already retreated, and the retreat is still ongoing.
However, the raging energy aftermath prevented some of the core warships from entering the jump state, leaving only a small part.
The channel was filled with the voices of commanders panicking, yet trying hard to calm down, adjust their formations, and return to normal.
However, the current situation has exceeded most people's imagination. Some warships have already fled in all directions, disrupting the formation of other fleets.
Under normal circumstances, all warships will be managed uniformly by the central system, and such out-of-control situations will not occur.
However, the aftermath of the collision just now interfered with some communications, leading to the current situation.
The aftermath dissipated, and terrifying void cracks spread out from behind the Mechanical Holy Spirit, and he stood in the starry universe.
Several mechanical arms extended from the back, tightly clamping the trembling Kashmir Spear in front of him.
The gap filled with Hermod's flesh and blood is now only about one-third left, and is still burning rapidly, trying to break free from his control.
Unfortunately, no one is in control, and all that is left is burning flesh and blood, with no place to use the power.
Hermod's ending was doomed. Even if he didn't use this method, he would still be beaten to death in the end.
Li Ming has not yet completely suppressed this thing, and for the time being he can only control it with the body of the Mechanical Holy Spirit, waiting for the flesh and blood fuel to burn out.
At the same time, his gaze turned to the Allied Fleet that had not yet had time to escape.
The mechanical pupils turned, and the body of the Mechanical Holy Spirit began to swell rapidly.
Soon, a huge giant that spanned the universe appeared in the horrified eyes of many coalition commanders.
Compared to the sense of shock brought by the illusory life radiation, the giant in front of them makes people feel a terrifying oppression from the bottom of their hearts.
Li Ming can freely adjust the appearance of the Mechanical Holy Spirit, but when fighting alone, the smaller the size, the more convenient it is. But now he needs to intimidate the entire coalition fleet.
Many soldiers slumped down in front of the portholes, staring blankly. The changes were not yet completely over.
