Opening his eyes, the scene in the spaceship room came into view.
Li Ming felt as if he’d been transported to another world, and upon glancing at the time, realized five days had passed.
His eyes felt sore, his forehead ached, and fatigue washed over him like a tidal wave.
His body tingled with a slight vibration, indicating the Titan Bloodline was upgrading, but at this stage, it was difficult to spur the progress of his inner development.
Streams of flowing light converged, forming two weapons, one large and one small; the large was an exaggerated mechanical longsword, the small resembled a gauntlet.
Upon a closer look at the relevant data, there was nothing special, the reinforced attributes and abilities were insufficient, destined for recycling.
However, the two items bined could potentially recover nearly a billion metal energy, bringing his remaining metal energy up to twenty-two billion.
Blood of the World was also abundant, just enough to upgrade two X Level Controlled Objects.
Li Ming couldn’t help rubbing his hands in anticipation, although he felt dizzy.
Exhausted to the extreme from the brink of torment and ecstasy, he decided to leave the Mechanical Guard to fend for him while he fell asleep.
......
Within the Mechanical Court, spaceships endlessly shuttled between locations, centering at the core base, the shipyard.
Two figures moved along the corridors, one leading confidently with a scar on his face, while the other, a burly blue-skinned troll, kept his head down.
"Old Beck, heading out on a mission?" Someone greeted, it’s Theo’s group, now mostly retired from hiring missions, stepping back from frontline duties.
Except for a small portion of life forms,"
Becker was among those who still maintained a high frequency of missions.
Becker nodded silently, the troll behind him served as an assistant, so no one paid attention.
His paperwork was plete, he proceeded to the spaceship base, submitted his administrative clearance.
Boarding his own spacecraft, he arranged everything, then followed the guided pathway, gradually leaving the core base through the Mechanical Court’s exclusive passage into the Star Gate.
Up until entering the Star Gate, Becker’s expression remained stern.
Once his vessel was engulfed by the Star Gate, his demeanor abruptly changed, swiftly extracting a disk from his cloak and inserting it into the data port.
Instantly, the spaceship sounded alarms, unexpectedly stalled, leaving only the basic thrusters operating.
Within the Star Gate, this was incredibly perilous, but soon it rebooted.
Only then did Becker breathe a sigh of relief, his lips curling before he quickly posed himself, finally bursting into laughter, "Mechanical Court, so this is all..."
As he spoke, his skin began to ripple, eventually transforming into another species, his cheeks protruding with fine scales, a Lizard Man variant.
Then he looked heatedly at the troll behind him, whose appearance was also changing, the dark blue skin fading, transforming from troll into a human.
It was Robbin.
However, he appeared bewildered, his eyes unfocused, as if under control.
"Haha, this time... it’s an immense achievement..." he couldn’t contain his excitement.
"...Why did he want to capture you?"
In front of the Crystal Ball, Anduin suddenly turned his head, looking at the trembling Robbin.
"Uh, I don’t know..." Robbin’s throat moved, in the Crystal Ball, the Lizard Man was laughing wildly.
Yet there’s a figure almost identical standing beside him.
"Illusion Scale Lizard, a race naturally adept at disguise, long extinct, and the remaining are under control of high-level civilizations, they are rare undercover and infiltrators." Anduin whispered, "To mobilize such a life form, is no ordinary feat."
"This guy has been hiding here over four months, all to capture you, do you really know nothing?"
Robbin’s face twitched, he could only shake his head resolutely: "I truly don’t know why this guy wants to capture me."
Under Anduin’s intensely oppressive gaze, an inappropriate voice sounded beside them: "Lord Anduin, we’re all counting on you to uncover this guy’s infiltration, Lord Azure Dragon will certainly thank you personally upon his return."
It was Ulrich speaking, bowing his head, feeling the pressure as expected like a mountain.
"Azure Dragon..." Anduin smiled, "He does have talented people under him."
With a wave of his hand, the scenes within the Crystal Ball vanished, but Ulrich hesitated: "This... Shouldn’t you see where he’s heading?"
"I only promised Azure Dragon to protect the Mechanical Court, not to find the culprit," Anduin shook his head, protect yes, but he didn’t want to dive into the other’s troubles.
"But if your methods are discovered, they may e again," Ulrich reminded.
"Discovering my methods would require an X Level Life Form," Anduin pondered, "And an X Level Life Form doesn’t act easily."
Upon hearing this, Robbin couldn’t help curling up.
Anduin sighed, he didn’t want to provoke those behind the scenes, thus sent a decoy for capturing rather than actually engaging.
If it was merely an A Level Life Form, it was almost impossible to detect his methods, even gene testing could be bypassed.
Due to avoiding provocation, he couldn’t leave his mark as a warning, so the forces behind might revisit upon discovering the unexpected.
And it es down to how important Robbin is in their eyes.
"Hopefully, you’re not that important."
