Chapter 637 Pushing the Laboratory
Especially the genetic material, I don’t know to what extent it can be strengthened.
Of course, the most crucial point is the dominant laboratory.
However, the Federation and the Empire had put in a lot of effort to build it, so he didn't want to destroy it if he could avoid it, as it would save a lot of time and resources.
"Then let's sneak in and take a look..." Li Ming pondered, his body moving slowly.
…………
At the same time, in the core area of the laboratory, various sophisticated instruments and equipment were placed on both sides, and the huge screen was divided into countless small pieces.
However, it seemed to be some critical moment now, as there were no experimenters near the instrument, but instead a large number of them gathered in the central area.
Although they were of different races, they all looked nervous and stared at the scene in the special glass cover.
Among them stood a special life form, naked, slender but muscular, covered with silver-gray scales, and nebula-like light patterns flowing on its surface.
The joints are inlaid with glowing crystal cores, and the back is filled with energy conduits.
Although he was wearing nothing, he looked calm and didn't seem to care.
In front of the operating table outside, there stood a figure, his figure as tall and straight as an ancient tree, his skin was a layer of translucent crystal, and a glowing root-like neural network could be seen inside.
His expression was solemn as he spoke, "...The gene source fusion experiment is about to begin. Sir Brad, are you ready?"
"Sir Edmund, please start as soon as possible..." Brad's voice was flat.
Edmund and several researchers beside him who looked equally prestigious looked at each other and nodded at the same time.
As he pressed the button on the operating table, a robotic arm slowly descended from the glass cover. It was a special syringe. Through the gap in the glass at the back, one could see the golden slurry inside it.
"The Blazing Rabbit gene substance..." Edmund explained.
Brad seemed impatient and pulled the syringe off the robotic arm before he could finish his words.
He stretched out his left arm, and a crack in the flesh automatically appeared. The syringe was inserted into it and slowly pushed in.
Edmund was about to say something, but he saw Brad throw the syringe aside.
As the crack on his arm healed, his body suddenly shook, and blazing energy gushed out from inside his body, slamming into the glass shield.
Cracks and gaps appeared one after another, startling the surrounding researchers and causing them to retreat.
Then I remembered that the glass cabin was not actually in this area, but was mapped there through special means.
Brad only reacted at this time. The surging energy quickly converged, and the muscles on his body continued to swell, and it took a long time to stop.
Brad slowly exhaled a mouthful of crimson flames, feeling the surge of strength within him. A fiery look flashed across his eyes, and he said in a deep voice, "Continue!"
Edmund glanced at the data on the screen, and then a robotic arm descended from the glass cabin, holding a special syringe.
Strengthen continuously, five times in a row.
The surging white flames gradually faded away. Brad gasped for breath and poured cans of nutritional potions into his body to replenish the energy needed for strengthening.
The silver scales on the surface of the body have almost turned golden.
He could experience a completely different feeling, his body cheering and jumping for joy.
Every cell is boiling. This means you are on the right path of evolution, and your body will respond naturally.
There was no resistance at all as there had been when he had forced himself to take in the second and third X-level gene seeds.
"Come again!" Brad said in a deep voice.
"No..." Edmund refused, "You have already strengthened to A-level Gold Seed, and the next step is S-level."
"According to research data from the Empire and the Alliance, if a life form containing multiple X gene seeds in its body strengthens all of the underlying gene seeds, unpredictable consequences will occur."
There is only one S-level gene seed left that cannot be strengthened. This is the flaw of taking the wrong path of evolution.
Edmund didn't know what this unpredictable consequence would be.
He took over relatively late, and only now has he managed to absorb most of the research data from the Empire and the Federation, and to formulate gene source enhanced seeds.
Brad seemed a little disappointed and clenched his arms helplessly.
He has three extra X-level gene seeds in his body. Before the experiment, his combat capability level was around 2000X. He was one of the top evolved beings of the Star Alliance and had always been stationed in the rear. Few people even knew of his existence.
After this enhancement, he felt that his strength had almost doubled.
However, he was not sure whether it was an illusion caused by the sudden increase in strength, and more detailed tests were needed.
"You should return first and conduct a detailed examination," Edmund said. "I will report to the Chairman. He is very concerned about this experiment."
Brad nodded and walked out of the glass cabin. The outside world was an endless starry sky, and the Dominant Laboratory was in the distance.
…
…
"The body has been dismembered, and all the people from the Empire and the Federation have left." Li Ming walked around the lower space of the Dominant Laboratory and gradually discovered that something was wrong.
They are all from the Covenant, there are no people from the Empire or the Alliance at all.
In some laboratories, he saw from afar the body tissue that had been cut into pieces.
Even in the [Invisible] state, he felt that if he got close to the corpses and debris, he would most likely be forced to show up.
"This is unexpected..." Li Ming muttered to himself. He thought that the three major civilizations were probably afraid that he would come to them for no apparent reason, so they split into three.
However, this Dominion laboratory was jointly built by the Empire and the Federation, but unexpectedly it was left to the Covenant.
"Gutierrez, you can only blame yourself for your bad luck." Li Ming shook his head. Since only the Star Alliance people were left, it would be more relaxing and comfortable.
With a quick glance, he locked onto the road leading to the core laboratory.
…
And Brad flew all the way back.
When he returned to the laboratory, three or four people immediately gathered around with envy on their faces. They were all X-level life forms.
"Brad, how do you feel?" one of them asked, feeling the clear sense of oppression from Brad.
"It's better than ever..." Brad walked straight past the crowd, came to the core area, and began to conduct various tests.
Soon, approximate data came out. Since there were no testing tools that met this intensity, they could only be estimated based on the energy characteristics.
"...The energy intensity is more than three times stronger than before. Based on the coefficient, the combat power level should be around 4000X."
“4000X!”
Upon hearing this terrifying number, many people present were stunned and their throats were pounding.
"It's so terrifying..." The X-level life forms present looked at each other, their hearts burning with anxiety.
They all began to calculate where they would end up.
"Can you fight against Azure Dragon?"
Suddenly, someone asked, and the lively atmosphere suddenly stagnated.
"Uh..." An X-level lifeform laughed bitterly. "Hermod, wielding the Kashmir Spear, probably has a combat energy level of no less than 4000X."
Another person said, "But we have mastered the method of continued evolution. With the addition of the Empire and the Alliance, as long as we continue to strengthen it, we can give birth to many 4000Xs, or even 5000Xs."
"The problem is not the energy level..." An experienced researcher nearby spoke up. He seemed to be of high status and was neither humble nor overbearing in the face of these X-level life forms.
"Qinglong has a method of freezing time. It comes from the Star of Eternal Silence. Even X-level life forms are not immune to it. Moreover, it can be applied on a large scale. That is the key."
"What about that thing?" Brad turned his head and looked at the corner of the laboratory.
On the metal frame there, there was a seemingly unfinished metal armor, inlaid with scattered fragments of something.
"It's hard to say..." The researcher still shook his head and sighed. "Don't even think about it on your own. Qinglong still has the Kashmir Spear in his hands."
"Don't even think about settling accounts with Qinglong. No one can do that anymore. The purpose of these measures is only to check and balance him, not to kill him."
"The true reckoning will probably have to wait until the birth of the ultimate life form."
Everyone fell silent.
"There might be a chance," Brad suddenly said. "As one advances, the other declines. Qinglong doesn't have this kind of strengthening method. If he keeps advancing, he will eventually be surpassed."
"Even without the Ultimate Life Form, perhaps we can still settle the matter."
The expressions of the other X-level life forms were inevitably a little strange.
Brad is not a person who likes to speak arrogantly, and I didn't expect him to say such arrogant words this time.
Brad's face flickered. The surge of strength in his body gave him extraordinary confidence. When he was about to say something else, he was suddenly stunned.
For some reason, he suddenly had a strange feeling, as if he was being watched by something.
This feeling came so suddenly that it made him uneasy.
His eyes narrowed slightly as he suddenly turned his head to look at the laboratory door. His expression changed as he suddenly shouted, "Who!"
The deafening roar was like thunder, and many glass tubes in the laboratory shattered immediately.
The other X-level life forms standing beside him were even more confused, but Brad moved without hesitation, energy surging through his body and a fierce look in his eyes.
He didn't know how the other party sneaked in, but he was sure...
Before he could form a thought, the entire area suddenly fell into a state of stagnation.
The surroundings were dazed, the experimenters startled by Brad's shout, and the three X-level lifeforms standing beside Brad, their faces somewhat bewildered, all frozen in place. It was like a three-dimensional painting.
"Interesting... You actually managed to find me?" Li Ming emerged from the void and exited the [Invisibility] state.
He was really surprised to be called out so suddenly.
He looked at Brad. This guy was the most bizarre. His whole body was surging with terrifying golden-red energy, which made Li Ming feel vaguely frightened. The intensity of this energy was even far greater than that of Tandin Alvis.
"How come I haven't seen such a powerful guy before?"
Although Li Ming was puzzled, he did not waste time because this guy was ready to move after being suddenly called out.
In order to prevent the energy fluctuations from damaging the precision instruments in the laboratory, he froze the entire area.
These seemingly insignificant things may each be worth hundreds of millions or even billions of star coins. The materials used are all top-notch and the time strength is not low.
The metal energy was dropping at a rate of almost 400 to 500 million per second, which was even more terrifying than the previous one that had frozen a large number of X-level life forms, and he couldn't sustain it.
He raised his hand and the Kashmir Spear appeared. He moved quickly, holding the gun and stabbing the heart of each X-level life form.
The other three X-level life forms were almost as easy to deal with as tofu, with no obstruction at all.
He felt the obstruction from the X-level life form that exposed his identity, but since he couldn't resist, it didn't make much difference.
After poking a hole in its heart, he thought for a moment, stirred it a bit, and poked a few more times in other parts of its body.
Under the effect of time stagnation, the edges of the dark flesh wounds became smooth and round.
Then, he took out several sets of blockade equipment that he had previously taken from Mikhail and Reynolds from the folding space, and put them directly on these four X-level life forms.
After confirming that there was no problem, four seconds had passed and 1.7 billion metal energies had been consumed.
Li Ming's eyelids twitched, and he hurriedly released the time freeze.
…There must be someone there!
Brad's face was solemn. He was surprised, but also eager to try. He had just completed a huge transformation and it was a good opportunity to try out some tricks.
It is most likely someone from the Empire or the Federation, as they are the only ones who know the Overlord Laboratory well. Even if the Covenant is careful and does a comprehensive cleanup, there is no guarantee that something will be missed.
Terrifying energy surged in Brad's body, and his eyes were sharp. He could cross the distance in the blink of an eye in almost an instant, and his powerful strength could be released in an instant.
No matter who it is, it may be easy to get in, but it is definitely not that easy to get out!
However, just when he was at his most energetic and about to charge, his vision suddenly went dark and he fell uncontrollably to the ground.
This... Brad was stunned, and then he felt unbearable pain all over his body, especially his heart, which was beating violently.
At his level of life, although it was not fatal, he felt unbearable pain, as if someone was using something and stirring it inside.
Hot blood gushed out, and the energy that had just been mobilized quickly dissipated. Not only the heart, but also the limbs were covered with wounds, which affected the bones, and the breath could not stop declining.
Not only that, Brad discovered the next moment that he had been put on a strict but extreme sealing device without knowing when.
The metal armor was pressed tightly against his skin, and he felt a sharp tingling pain in his back. The sharp metal spikes penetrated into his spine, brain, heart and other parts of his body, and injected special medicine that made him dizzy.
If he was in his peak state after just transforming, he might still be able to resist, but at this moment he couldn't even mobilize a little bit of energy.
What the hell is going on?!
Brad was horrified. He was clearly still thinking about how to take action the previous moment, but the next moment he suddenly fell into this state of serious injury and confinement.
"How did my body become so seriously injured?"
"Who put the confinement device on me?"
“…”
I heard an uncontrollable cry of fear from behind. Are other people experiencing the same thing as me?
Brad thought subconsciously, and at the same time, he felt the ambient light around him suddenly dim.
Because he was lying face down on the floor, he could only turn his head and look around. There was a pair of metal boots in front of him, and he could only see the knees.
But it made his heart tremble, his pupils contracted, and his mind was filled with turbulent waves. The incredible emotions filled him with trembling all over.
Because of its coordination and details, it all belongs to the figure that has been deeply engraved in the minds of all X-level life forms - Qinglong!
