Chapter 663 Everything is different
"There are also mechanical guards, which can also be upgraded..." Li Ming thought again.
"After evolution, the energy level is estimated to be around 100X. Sharing half of my blessing, with all abilities fully activated, it will be around 500 times. After the amplification, the energy level can reach 50J..."
After a rough calculation, Li Ming's throat rolled. The mechanical guard was really abnormal.
Every time at the early stage of evolution, it can provide him with extremely powerful combat assistance.
Even if the estimate of the ultimate life form is higher, an energy level of 50J definitely qualifies it as the ultimate life form.
"It only takes 10 billion metal energies for each one. It's really worth it..." Li Ming couldn't help but feel more emotional.
Being promoted to Level X is indeed a whole new realm, everything is different.
By the time he has completed his preparations and upgrades, even if peak-level Tanus comes, he will not be able to get away with it.
"There is also the production of mechanical bodies. Now we can mutate into X-level mechanical bodies, but we need to build an assembly line for A-level mechanical bodies..." Li Ming couldn't help but shake his head. The higher the level, the more difficult it is to build.
The difficulty of building a B-class mechanical body is not just ten times that of an A-class mechanical body, but dozens of times.
Even Reynolds and Mikhail each only have one Class A mechanical assembly line, the related materials are extremely expensive and the output is limited.
"Take it easy, there will always be something..." Li Ming outlined various plans in his mind, full of motivation.
However, he still had an important matter to attend to. Li Ming's eyes flickered slightly, "Go to the Holy Castle and get the Crown of Diglas..."
In fact, he had been confident some time ago that he could get the crown of Diglas by slowly grinding.
However, it takes a lot of time, and the metal energy is not accumulated enough.
Instead of suffering, it is better to save time and use it to develop gene seeds and reach level X as soon as possible.
Now, the metal energy was almost enough, and he estimated that he could get it easily.
With a slight movement of his mind, he began to communicate with the Holy Castle on the spot.
………
When Li Ming evolved into an X-level life form, he was in a desolate star field somewhere within the empire, within the sixteen star districts.
It seemed as if a brutal battle had just taken place here, and the metal debris and biological tissues were intertwined into a strange symbiotic structure in the weightless environment.
On the surface of a broken gun barrel, dark red flesh and blood tissue was still throbbing, entwining the titanium alloy skeleton like a parasitic vine.
On the inside of the half-broken porthole, a distress code written with bloody fingerprints was solidified and was now being slowly corroded by the bright green biomass droplets.
The floating armor plates reflected the afterglow of the stars, cutting the battlefield into a cage of alternating light and dark.
The central mothership was cut into several pieces by a terrifying force. On one of the wreckage, Abel knelt blankly on the metal floor, his hair disheveled, his eyes dazed, and blood flowing beneath him.
In front of him was half a limb, and the heavy armor on his body had been twisted beyond recognition due to the huge external force. His eyes were glaring as if he was unwilling to close his eyes in death.
It was his bodyguard, Leathers.
The energy pipes in the broken inner layer of the alloy armor emitted a flickering light.
And beside him, there was a life form shrouded in shadows.
The air bubble slowly expanded, gradually enveloping Abel. The crackling sound of electric arcs suddenly reached his ears, gradually bringing him back to his senses.
"Who sent you?" Abel said in a hoarse voice.
He knew that this matter would be very troublesome, but he didn't expect the water to be so deep and the other party to be so bold.
After being fooled in the Sixteen Star District, he left in anger, intending to mobilize more forces first and then look for the next breakthrough.
As a result, he was robbed and killed here just after leaving the sixteenth star zone.
"Your Highness..." His voice was so deep that it was hard to tell whether it was a man or a woman. "Why do you have to do this? Wouldn't it be better to just take the list and leave?"
“Even if you don’t tell me, I know that within the empire, the only people capable of commanding X-level life forms, besides the Holy Emperor, are the people in the House of Commons and the House of Lords…” Abel raised his head and stared straight at the figure in front of him.
All non-direct lineage, X-level life forms within the empire need to have a genetic lock engraved in their bodies.
Control is in the hands of the royal family. It is the cornerstone of rule and can be dealt a heavy blow at any time if something goes wrong.
However, this genetic lock cannot capture thoughts. As long as things are done in secret, the royal family will naturally be helpless if they cannot find out.
“Holy Emperor, Holy Emperor…” The other party didn’t seem surprised. Abel could guess this and sighed even more deeply, “His tactics are indeed tough, but he shouldn’t kill everyone. Does he really think that using you princes as a vanguard will make people afraid to act rashly?”
"When it comes to life and death, even if you are a prince, I will kill you without mercy."
Abel remained silent, admitting that he had misunderstood some things.
It's not that he hadn't thought that the other party might take action, but he didn't expect that the other party would act so quickly, so urgently, and so cruelly.
In the face of absolute strength, all ideas are useless.
"So, are you going to kill me?" Abel's voice was hoarse.
"No, no..." The other party shook his head unexpectedly. "Although I said that just now, things haven't reached the point of no return. Killing you, I don't know what kind of trouble it will cause."
"This time, it's both a warning and an invitation."
"Hmm?" There was a moment of confusion in Abel's eyes.
The life form in the shadows sighed, "I have to say, you, the youngest prince, do have some skills."
"You've accumulated a large number of fans in just a few years. Although the process is a bit strange, we don't care. After all, it's part of your method."
"So, you are qualified to cooperate with us, just like Prince Ryan, Prince Heckler and many other princes..."
Abel was in a trance for a moment, turned around, and ended up in this situation.
Even in the face of life and death crisis, Abel still struggled. Adam's once domineering face and the scene of his near death not long ago kept switching before his eyes.
He still regarded Adam as a majestic father, a ruthless ruler, and a great man whom he admired.
But he thought again of the empire that was now in ruins. His father wanted to rebuild the empire, but he no longer had the time.
But once you board these people's pirate ship...
Although Abel was hesitant, he had already made up his mind.
The training that the imperial princes have received since childhood is that everything can be used.
It is not a bad idea to rely on the power of the House of Commons and the House of Lords.
As for whether you can keep a check and balance, it all depends on your future methods.
These people are still an extremely powerful force in the dark. If they help me, the throne of the Holy Emperor will be within my reach...
wrong!
At the critical moment, Abel's eyes narrowed slightly, and he asked in a deep voice, "I shouldn't be the first person you've contacted."
"Haha..." Laughter came from the shadows, "What do you guess?"
Abel's heart sank to the bottom. He was not the most powerful prince and had never even had contact with the House of Commons and the House of Lords before.
The other party’s first choice is unlikely to be him. He is likely to be a backup, a backup among backups.
In that case, the significance of cooperating with the other party would not be so great.
"Although the throne of the Holy Emperor is tempting, it does not mean that there is only one Holy Emperor throne in the entire empire to fight for." The other party noticed what Abel was thinking and hinted,
"I know that no matter who you princes are, as long as you ascend to the throne of the Holy Emperor, you will in turn settle accounts with us, so we need a check and balance..."
"Just like Ryan and Heckler..." Abel said with a hint of sarcasm, but then he was suddenly stunned and asked in surprise: "Do you know that father is choosing an heir?"
Laughter emanated from the shadows, "Our interactions with certain princes began long before now."
Abel's face changed. The news of selecting a successor had already been known to the House of Commons and the House of Lords.
Father...are you...are you really old?
The other party gave Abel enough time to digest the information before asking, "So, Your Highness, what is your choice?"
"I..." Abel lowered his head, his eyes dim and uncertain: "I promise you..."
"A wise choice..." The shadow said without surprise, then gradually dissipated, leaving only the voice echoing in Abel's ears: "A patrol fleet will arrive later. I have sent the attackers to Your Highness's smart terminal. Your Highness should know how to respond."
There is no need to give the other party any leverage, and there are no other guarantees. Just a verbal agreement and the other party will disappear.
Abel suddenly realized at this moment and relaxed his body. The other party had never intended to kill him from the beginning.
Adam's influence is still there. If he really kills someone, there might be a major purge.
Abel slowly stood up and looked at Leathers who was lying on the ground with his eyes open.
He didn't know how much the House of Commons and the House of Lords knew, only that Adam was choosing his successor.
Still knew that Adam was seriously injured and dying.
But now there are princes, or even more than one prince, who have reached cooperation with them.
This means that the next Holy Emperor is now in their hands.
He didn't want to be Ryan or Heckler, but he had no choice...
No, maybe there is still a chance.
An idea that he had been struggling with for a long time finally came to mind. He knew that there might be big trouble, but there were already a lot of troubles at the moment.
Moreover, the Empire's high-level X-level life forms have been strengthened again. Even if the other party is brought in, there may be means of checks and balances.
"My methods..." Ya murmured softly, but the second half of the sentence only echoed in his mind: "Beyond your imagination..."
…
In the Holy Castle, the Overseer stared at the Azure Dragon that was taking shape bit by bit.
"Why is it so slow this time..." Li Ming felt his body and didn't feel comfortable.
"Your life level has evolved?" the Overseer asked in surprise. "How could it be so fast?"
"The life level has been raised, so the formation of the mimicry body is so slow." Li Ming moved his body and roughly guessed it.
The Supervisor's mechanical pupils scanned the other party up and down, and then he suddenly remembered that the other party's life level was only lord level before.
He just keeps using that special ability to unleash combat power far beyond his current life level.
Lord level can kill transcendent level
Then, can the transcendent level compete with the dominant level?
The Inspector couldn't help but think about it, but it felt a bit far-fetched. He wanted to ask, but saw that Qinglong had already walked into the Holy Castle Hall.
"Trial to become a king!"
The inspector hurriedly followed, but without permission, he could only watch from the spot.
As soon as he entered the Holy Castle Hall, Li Ming was about to undergo the Secondary Overlord Trial.
This time he didn't need an inspector, he could trigger it himself. Gray mists that hadn't been seen for a long time swept in from all directions, and then formed a solid arena.
"Hey..." Li Ming couldn't help but grin. He hadn't seen those familiar old brothers for a long time. It was time to get closer to them.
In the gray mist, two secondary-level Yuan clan members emerged.
Li Ming stretched out his hand, and the flowing light in his hand intertwined, and the Kashmir Spear condensed in an instant.
“K, K, the Gun of Kashmir!?”
The Supervisor's two metal eyes almost popped out.
"Isn't it a hammer? How did it turn into a gun? And it's in its complete form?" The Inspector didn't know what Qinglong was doing. Did he just change the appearance of the mimic weapon?
He didn't understand the point of doing this.
Li Ming breathed a sigh of relief and shook the Kashmir Spear. With his current strength, he could easily crush these Yuan people.
Li Ming used conventional blessing and just stabbed casually.
As soon as he started to move, he had a completely different feeling. Everything in front of him was so fragile. The tip of the gun emitted fragments of light. Wherever it passed, the gray mist disappeared inch by inch, revealing the scene of the hall itself.
He even felt that his mimic body was beginning to crumble, completely unable to withstand such force.
Um?
The next moment, Li Ming raised his eyebrows.
The gray fog in front of him dissipated like a tide, and the Yuan clan that came to attack also disappeared halfway, and even the arena disappeared without a trace.
In the blink of an eye, he was standing in the Holy Castle Hall again, still a little dazed, with empty space all around him.
"The trial arena...why did it disappear?" Li Ming was puzzled and looked at the supervisor with a frown.
The Supervisor didn't speak, but his body kept humming and his mechanical pupils flickered.
"Overload?"
Li Ming narrowed his eyes and appeared in front of the Inspector in a flash. A flash of electric arc shot out and fell into the Inspector's body.
The machine twitched, and a fiery light shone from its pupils. The Overseer suddenly looked up, grabbed him with both arms, and said in an excited, almost distorted voice, "You just, just now..."
"What just happened..." Li Ming broke free and asked angrily, "Why did the arena disappear?"
The Overseer calmed down and spoke word by word, "The power you just unleashed has reached the level of a master."
"About the same." Li Ming said vaguely.
The Supervisor's body buzzed again, and he almost crashed again. His emotions surged, and after calming down for a while, he slowly said:
"That's right. A master-level power can exempt one from the secondary master trial..."
"Is that so..." Li Ming was somewhat disappointed. He wanted to get closer to those older brothers, but then he frowned again.
"That's not right. Why didn't I skip this process when I was trying it out before?"
The Overseer explained, "That's because the level is too low to consume much energy, but the current power is too strong. Continuing the battle will cause great damage to the Holy Castle..."
Li Ming nodded thoughtfully and asked, "How can one survive the trial of domination?"
The Overseer responded: "Due to energy storage issues, the Domination Trial only has one chance. If you fail, you will no longer be able to proceed from this Holy Castle..."
"There is only one chance, so we must seize it well." Li Ming nodded involuntarily, but his eyes were looking at the Crown of Digras hanging above.
At some unknown time, the indestructible energy barrier outside the Crown of Diglas had disappeared.
