This is really not mechanical ascension-Chapter 905 - 467: Ruins Sightseeing_2

The external features are completely out of place with the other mechanical bodies under Reynolds.

Both sides dispatched a warship each to connect in the central area, making a total of nearly ten X-level life forms gathered together.

"Li Ming?"

There had been no formal communication regarding the Holy Spirit Civilization ruins between the two parties yet. Costa looked at Li Ming, who followed behind Reynolds, with an unexpected expression on his face.

Life forms of various X-levels, with different expressions and races, also cast their gaze, secretly observing and being surprised.

Except for Crow, whose expression was indifferent, as he had already anticipated Li Ming’s appearance.

Clearly, Gonzalez had not informed the others about Li Ming’s situation.

Li Ming remained silent. Besides Costa and the other two, the others there nearly all had power comparable to, if not surpassing, Barbaro.

"Why is it you? Where is your teacher?" Costa restrained his expression and couldn’t help but ask.

"He represents the Azure Dragon," Reynolds said casually.

"He represents the Azure Dragon?" Diwusi’s gaze swept over Li Ming with a gentle yet perplexed voice, "Has Azure Dragon lost his mind sending him here?" ƒгeewebnovёl_com

Costa frowned slightly; from Gonzalez, they only knew people were assembled, instinctively assuming Azure Dragon had arrived with his people.

But it turned out Li Ming came on his behalf?

The atmosphere was subtle, those present felt confused to various degrees, also watching Gonzalez head straight to Crow with inquisitive eyes.

This was a super seed, Level Sixty development potential, achieving A-level life form at such a young age, boundless potential in future.

Just sending him here for adventure, how confident is Azure Dragon, really thinking no one dares harm his student?

Crow remained silent, yet kept his gaze on Li Ming, filled with inexplicable meaning.

This was a rare chance, maybe he could obtain some experimental materials from Li Ming.

"This Lord Azure Dragon is really unexpected..." someone spoke abruptly, from the Empire named Cedric.

"It’s just a pity, there’s no chance to see if he is truly capable this time."

"None of you are here to discuss this matter." Mikhail stated flatly, "Let’s get to the main topic."

Everyone adjusted their expressions and shifted their focus from Li Ming. Azure Dragon not coming was bizarre to them, but it was good news – the opposing force was further weakened.

Only the figure standing behind Diwusi’s expression seemed confused, with a gaze lingering on Li Ming, "Why does it seem this guy’s life aura is somewhat odd..."

"I know you have explored the Holy Spirit Civilization ruins more than once, so most areas likely hold no value." Costa went straight to the point: "Therefore, we hope all of you will take us directly to unexplored zones."

Mikhail’s expression darkened slightly, though he had made similar predictions before coming.

This group undoubtedly wouldn’t want to waste time; ordinary zones hold no value for them. The best choice would be to stick close to them.

Of course, they could carelessly let the Three Civilizations spend lives piling up.

But by the next visit, the Mechanic Association might have already disbanded.

This time is opportune, perhaps they might extract something, next time the Three Civilizations surely won’t regard them.

"How will things be divided?" Mikhail hit directly at the core.

"Based on value, it should be evenly divided in four parts." Diwusi supplemented, "Additionally, what one gets independently need not be shared."

"What remains is the area that neither the Forging Hammer nor your multiple attempts could conquer. Together we may have better grasp."

Collaborative exploration, Li Ming listened silently, realizing that this would greatly reduce the chances of underhanded actions.

But it was also quite sensible; this place was not untouched and had been visited many times, with little new exploration holding significance.

Mikhail’s expression relaxed slightly, nodding: "Since that’s the case, we have no objections."

"Then let’s set off." Crow was already eager to proceed.

The parties reached an agreement and then began preparations; the large mechanical body combat groups brought by the two Divine Craftsmen were naturally not for exploring the Holy Spirit Civilization ruins, rather to intimidate the Three Civilizations.

The demonstrated force was not for combat but for not engaging.

Only a portion of the mechanical bodies were dispatched, and the most critical X-Level mechanical body followed, likewise.

The Three Civilizations also brought only a part of their teams, then boarded the spaceship, cautiously approaching the blurred area.

As they approached, there was none of the usual interstellar magnifying effects, until close by, seeming unchanged in size.

"...The outermost edge of the ruins is a time-space defense barrier, a state of time-space isolation defense, but due to excessive time, it’s damaged, and we found only one entry point."

Mikhail introduced briefly, his voice serious: "We are about to penetrate; hope everyone refrains from any actions regardless of what happens."

His tone was grave, guiding the warship, finding an almost imperceptible seam at the side.

Proceeding very slowly, navigating inside.

Both sides were enshrouded in dim mist, seemingly lacking any lethal quality.

But Mikhail and Reynolds were extremely tense, "...Once speed exceeds 300KM/H, space-time deformation will occur..."

If I hammer this area in, could I wipe out all these onboard?

Li Ming gazed out at the mist through the porthole, subconsciously thinking.

Everyone was equally on high alert, focusing intensely on Reynolds and Mikhail.

As X-level life forms at the top of the food chain, rarely did they entrust life to others.

"Ding--"

An almost inaudible sound was heard, Crow’s expression shifted mildly.

Li Ming turned around expressionless, feeling a faint prick on the neck, but it didn’t breach his defense: "What are you doing, sir?"

"Crow!" Reynolds shouted sternly, "Don’t seek death!"

Azure Dragon was quite prepared; Crow retracted his expression, indifferently responding: "Nothing."

Li Ming did not elaborate further, merely glanced at him before turning back around.

For three entire days, they traversed this area, revealing everything before their eyes.

They had arrived in a gray haze-filled space, shadowed by peculiar black gases, slowly flowing like ghosts, sometimes congregating, sometimes dispersing.

Below lay a vast expanse of steel ruins, obscured in distant black fog, unclear to sight.

Those once grand buildings were now dilapidated, massive steel beams contorted and deformed, fractured metal plates scattered, like scenes of an apocalypse.

The ground was riddled with signs of fierce battles. Huge craters from explosions covered the area, edges scorched black, energy beam scorch marks crisscrossed, cutting the surface into fragments.

Enormous mechanical debris stood tall, all sorts of unfamiliar parts scattered on the ground, reflecting dim gleams in the faint light.

Crackle--

Sparks flew from the spaceship’s control panel, all displays were vaguely blurred, Mikhail’s voice indifferent: "Metal element percentage in air exceeds 40%; your life form minions should wear respirators."

The scene like an apocalypse had already captivated everyone; stepping off the spaceship, the bleak and ruined atmosphere hit them, bringing an inexplicable oppression.

"Energy inertia is very strong in this place..." Lancaster spoke, with various elemental powers swirling in his hands, "Affects strength to some extent."

"Fascinating, the residual time on these materials is very close, within a thousand years." Diwusi scattered symbols at random, frowning on receiving feedback.

"The time molecules in this area are locked." Mikhail said.

Time molecules... Li Ming pondered, this was an upper-layer application of time regions, with basic time applications only able to achieve generalized stagnation or reversal within a certain scope.

Whereas more advanced ones could specify certain objects to be entirely free of time flow impacts within normal region time.

Contemplating, Li Ming raised a finger, showing a slightly bizarre expression, just as he anticipated.

For him, this area was a colossal metal energy reservoir, with a casual motion of fingers absorbing quite a bit of metal energy.
