Chapter 645: The Trinity Concept
Metal energy slowly flowed into it. This time the repair was not to mend the cracks, but more like a reorganization.
The twelve crystal faces of the diamond-shaped core split open simultaneously, revealing a precise gear matrix inside each facet, engraved with extremely dense electronic patterns.
Wherever the metal energy spread, all the tiny parts began to glow again, and golden liquid alloy was pumped out from the core axis, condensing into a glowing network of nerve bundles.
The central energy hub was ignited, and a projection of a gear train similar to that of a mechanical clock appeared on the surface of the core. Each rotating gear shadow was lifelike.
As 15 billion metal energies were absorbed into it, the entire core finally burst out with a platinum halo similar to nuclear fusion ignition.
The cracked facets are reassembled, and every crystal edge on the surface reflects the flawless mechanical beauty.
The Holy Spirit core has been repaired.
[Holy Spirit Core--Special Type: Forged by the Hammersmith using the broken heart of the ultimate mechanical body.
…
Control Effect——Mechanical Holy Spirit: Absorbs mechanical bodies and forms a Mechanical Holy Spirit.】
The description changed drastically, revealing the raw material used for the forging hammer. It turned out to be the shattered heart of an Ultimate Machine.
"No wonder Mikhail hasn't been able to reproduce the Mechanical Holy Spirit after so many years of research..." Li Ming couldn't help but say, without such important materials, it would be impossible to reproduce it.
He stared at the core in his hand and couldn't help but feel a sense of extreme magnificence, the beauty of the machinery was presented to the fullest.
"If it is repaired to a complete state, as long as there are enough mechanical bodies, the ultimate mechanical body can probably be born..." Li Ming thought.
He calculated that the number and strength of the mechanical bodies required would be incredible. He estimated that the number of Reynolds and Mikhail combined might not be enough.
"Just build it slowly..." Li Ming was not in a hurry about it.
He played with it, unable to let it go, and then another thought occurred to him, "This thing shouldn't be something I have to control to use..."
The forging hammer definitely didn't have a control system at the time, so if this thing was taken out directly, it would definitely work.
He immediately tried it out and found more than ten mechanical bodies. Sure enough, they could all be integrated into the core, but they required unified intelligent management.
"I've developed a new way to play. Letting Suzaku take control will be helpful."
When using it before, it was necessary to protect his body to a certain extent, but now there is no such concern.
It can even be said that if he uses the body fusion, it will limit some of his strength and prevent him from exerting it.
Putting away the Holy Spirit Core for the time being, Li Ming glanced at the control page and saw that there were still 9 billion metal energies left, neither more nor less.
There are still ten copies of the World's Blood left, which is more than enough.
"...I still have some Trinity Stones left. Controlling them all will cost 60 billion. I guess I'll have enough by the time the third ransom arrives..."
"Trinity, Trinity..." He was really looking forward to this ability.
If the prediction is correct, this ability will become an important force for him to fight against Yongyuan.
"Wait..." Li Ming's mind flashed, and he suddenly took out the Holy Spirit Core again, his eyes gradually becoming fiery:
"The Holy Spirit Core can definitely fuse into an ultimate mechanical body. As long as I advance to Level X, it should be equivalent to advancing to the ultimate level, not to mention dominating flesh and blood."
"Isn't this just perfect..."
Through Levenback, he has basically figured out the power of the Trinity Stone, which is essentially fusion.
"Unconsciously, the things in my hands have become one."
Li Ming couldn't help but feel excited. In this way, whether it was his own evolution, the construction of the mechanical army under his command, or even the collected scattered flesh and blood, they would eventually become his own strength.
Thinking about it this way, I feel more motivated.
"Hey, when you enter the active period, I will give you a big surprise." Li Ming stroked his chin and slowly grinned.
Li Ming was in a good mood after coming up with this unexpected discovery. He wanted to continue developing genetic seeds, but he received an unexpected communication request.
"Costarte?" Li Ming couldn't help but be surprised, looking at the notes on the virtual screen.
They had just separated not long ago, why was this guy contacting him again?
After confirming the call, what popped up on the screen was not Kostarte's face that had been strange the moment he saw him, but...
"Adam?" Li Ming was even more surprised. The majestic face that appeared on the screen was none other than the Holy Emperor of the Empire - Adam.
"Qinglong..." Adam looked at the other party's mimicry face. When he thought that the other party was actually Li Ming, he had a strange feeling in his heart, but on the surface he looked normal.
"How does the Holy Emperor have time to chat with me?" Li Ming restrained his expression and asked directly.
"It's simple, because you stole the Covenant's laboratory and the Overlord's flesh and blood." Adam got straight to the point.
Li Ming raised his eyebrows slightly, "What do you mean?"
Adam frowned slightly, dissatisfied with Li Ming's evasiveness. "In the current interstellar space, almost no one can pose a threat to you. Why not admit it?"
"It's hard to say." Li Ming remained silent. The more straightforward Adam spoke, the more he didn't want to admit it.
This guy is very sinister. He is still on that unknown wandering imperial ship. He is extremely despicable, but the resources he can mobilize are beyond imagination. Who knows what evil he is plotting in his heart.
Adam didn't bother to argue and said bluntly, "Gutierrez has already gone all out. If you leave him no way out, he won't be able to explain himself to the others. He's going to flip the table."
"Turning over the table?" Li Ming stirred slightly, recalling something, and said suddenly, "So he's been picking on you guys lately. Turns out it was you who started it."
Adam's face froze, and he said in a deep voice, "You know exactly who it is, and so do we."
Li Ming pretended not to hear, then suddenly stared at Adam and said solemnly, "The death of the X-level lifeforms in the Sea of Stars was an act of revenge on your part?"
"No." Adam shook his head. "You should be able to tell that neither Malcolm nor I want to start a war. I even suspect that you are the one who is trying to start a war between us and the Covenant."
Faced with Adam's "false accusation", Li Ming did not say anything.
Another road is dead end. Who is behind this?
Seeing that Li Ming was silent, Adam had no choice but to change the subject. "My purpose for coming here is simple. You take out some of the flesh and blood in your hand, and we each take out some and give it to Gutierrez so that he can have an explanation."
He compromised and didn't want to continue to fight with Gutierrez. He just wanted to keep the situation stable before the ultimate gene seed was developed, and then blow everything up.
"Hmm?" Li Ming couldn't help but look up, and he finally understood why Gutierrez was so obsessed with the Empire and the Federation.
It turns out that he wanted to tie them up by force and demand their flesh and blood. Gutierrez really had a brilliant idea.
He was amused and grinned, "What does this have to do with me? If you want to fight, go ahead. Besides, it wasn't me who did it."
Adam said in a deep voice, "Do you think this incident has no impact on you? Once Gutierrez reveals the matter of the Lord of Flesh and Blood to the public, you will also become a target of public criticism."
"Intercepting the path of evolution is equivalent to becoming the public enemy of everyone in the galaxy. Naturally, our research must be spread to our own people, but are you willing to share your knowledge?"
"If you're unwilling to share, the higher life forms will find a way out. If they want to continue evolving, they'll have no choice but to join us."
Li Ming's eyes flickered, "The Holy Emperor is very thoughtful."
"However, you should also understand that the Higher Life Forms United Organization is just the icing on the cake for me, not a force that must be controlled."
"Of course I understand." Adam seemed to have anticipated Li Ming's response, and his voice was calm. "But you probably don't want to give up such a huge power so easily. You only need to pay a little bit of the Overlord's flesh and blood, and you have plenty of it."
"Comparing the two prices, it shouldn't be difficult to make a decision."
Li Ming pondered, Adam was right, he had plenty of flesh and blood of the Overlord in his hands now, even if he gave away some of it, it would not be a big deal.
"That's right..." Li Ming nodded slowly. Adam was not surprised at all. He had already made an estimate before contacting the other party, and he would definitely agree.
Just as he was about to speak, he heard Li Ming continue.
"But I refuse." Li Ming looked calm.
Adam's expression froze in shock, his brows furrowed. This deal was not a loss at all.
"Are you worried that we'll use this to hold you hostage in the future? Don't worry. If this news is made public, other X-level life forms won't immediately accede to our cause. They might even secretly cause trouble, which would be risky for us."
Li Ming shook his head and said, "Whether you are willing to compensate Gutierrez is your business and has nothing to do with me. If you don't mind, I have to get busy."
Without waiting for Adam's response, he ended the communication.
Just kidding, this time I paid a little blood and flesh, and it seems that the disaster has been avoided.
But any of the three major civilizations can announce this news at any time.
Adam said he could guarantee it, but no one could predict the specific circumstances.
"However, he did remind me..." Li Ming thought, "Let's solve this hidden danger first."
Open the smart terminal and initiate a joint meeting. This time there is plenty of time, it will be in three days.
Response messages came one after another, and he murmured softly, "Adam, how did you know I didn't want to take it out?"
Three days passed quickly, and Suzaku reminded him half an hour before the meeting started.
Li Ming exited the development state, tidied up a bit, and went to the conference hall.
The truth behind the attack on multiple X-level life forms has not yet been revealed, and members of the organization are very concerned about this.
He suddenly called a meeting, and everyone thought that there was a result, so almost everyone participated.
Anatoly, Anduin and the other four people who were investigating outside also came through basic projection. What was surprising was that Gustav did not come this time.
"How is the investigation going?" Li Ming asked first.
"It's a bit troublesome..." Anatoly looked a little helpless. "We have already visited two of the attackers' lairs and tried every possible method, but we haven't found even the slightest clue."
"However, one thing is certain: the battle lasted a very short time and was almost over in one strike."
Hearing him say this, everyone present couldn't help but sit up straight.
"That's right..." Anduin agreed. "The main reason we came to this conclusion is that we could hardly sense any energy fluctuations when we arrived."
"According to the law of energy attenuation, if it's a prolonged battle, the aftermath will last at least one to six months."
The atmosphere was silent and the battle lasted a very short time, which indicated that the strength of the attacker might be even higher than they imagined.
Amidst the silence, light and shadow flickered on Gustav's seat beside Li Ming. The Vice Chairman arrived late, his expression grave. He immediately said, "The Evil Ancestor has also disappeared."
"Huh?" Everyone's eyes converged, some with a look of astonishment.
Anatoly's expression changed slightly, "Are you sure?"
"I was at the scene." Gustav said with a lingering fear. "It must have happened a few days ago. There is almost no energy fluctuation. Just like the previous scene, the evil ancestor has no power to resist."
"If I had come a few days earlier, I might have run into him."
"How is that possible!" Anduin immediately refuted. "The strength of the Evil Ancestor is close to 1500X. This was recorded ten years ago, and he had no power to resist?"
Li Ming frowned. The Evil Ancestor was a notorious higher life form in the interstellar space. He was mainly engaged in the trafficking of human beings and various contraband. He had caused more than one massacre and was not qualified to join the higher life forms.
They are considered the strongest among the super criminals, but they are actually the same as the previous X-level life forms.
"Are you investigating secretly?" Anatoly realized something else.
"Of course, I don't want to be suspected anymore, and I'm the vice president of the organization," Gustav responded.
"Even if it's Tandin and Alvis, they won't leave him without the ability to resist, unless he has the help of the Titan artifact." Anduin frowned, his eyes subconsciously sweeping over the Azure Dragon.
There was a constant low murmur in the members' seats, and everyone looked solemn and serious, with a hint of panic.
How could an evolved form of this strength suddenly appear and attack without any pattern?
Anatoly couldn't help but ask, "Based solely on individual strength, apart from Lord Qinglong, is there really an evolved being of this level in the galaxy right now? Or did they use some other means?"
Naturally, no one thought that it was Qinglong who did it.
Both the Holy Castle and the Chaos Star Gap battles have been over for a long time, and a large amount of relevant information has been released.
Most of Qinglong's strength comes from the "Star of Eternal Silence", the "Mechanical Holy Spirit", and some explosive means, but the evolutionary level of its body should not have reached an incredible level.
"Maybe, it really is." Li Ming suddenly spoke, immediately attracting everyone's attention.
"It may be related to what I am going to announce when I summoned you this time."
Announce?
Everyone sat upright, feeling curious about what Qinglong was going to announce.
Li Ming looked around at everyone and said calmly, "The path to the ultimate evolution has been found."
Everyone present was a little confused at first and seemed unable to react.
But then, pairs of eyes of different shapes expanded slightly and then contracted.
I felt like I was struck by thunder. The panic caused by the unknown attacker was shattered to pieces, leaving only an indescribable shock.
The path to evolution, found! ?
