This is really not mechanical ascension Chapter 1055 - 542: A Video from the Red River Star Stream—I

"What are you doing?" Reynolds’ smugness was not a disguise. "Naturally, it’s to make the Three Civilizations understand that we’re not to be trifled with. Of course, it also helps Azure Dragon, achieving multiple goals at once."

"Multiple goals at once?" Mikhail was so angry he nearly fainted.

This Reynolds really holds a grudge.

"Don’t worry, I’ve already edited it. The existence of that corpse has been completely erased; no one can recover it," Reynolds reassured Mikhail, seeing how furious he was.

"Such a big matter, why didn’t you discuss it with ?" Mikhail suppressed his inner anger.

"Why would I discuss it with you? Are we that close?" Reynolds questioned curiously.

"The Empire and the Federation have already taken hold of our handle. This is our way of showing an attitude without tearing the face. Surely, they’re not going to start a war over this video, right?"

For a mont, Mikhail was rendered speechless; Reynolds’ words indeed made sense.

The outside world’s speculation about what happened in the Red River Star Stream had long reached a certain level, and this information only served as verification.

But ultimately, it would bring considerable risk. Why do such a thing?

"Tan Ding!" A shocked shout ca from the crowd as everyone present looked solemnly at the person appearing on the screen.

Everyone was familiar with this Empire Sword.

Genuine top combat power, with the blood of many X Level Life Forms on his hands.

That oppressive aura almost seed to pass through the screen.

"I can tell; the party recording the video seems to be Reynolds and Mikhail. They probably encountered the Empire and Federation in the depths of the Red River Star Stream..."

"I estimate they stumbled upon so secret. The Empire and Federation wouldn’t let them leave easily."

Everyone present was keen-minded; with just a few scenes and known information, they deduced what the video was about.

The scene shifted, with Alves far in the distance also getting a close-up, looking serene as he observed.

"Not just Tan Ding, but also Alves. The two strongest forces of the Empire and Federation tead up. Sothing extraordinary indeed happened in the depths of the Red River Star Stream."

"With both Tan Ding and Alves joining forces, could they really allow these two to co out unhard?"

Obscure glances turned towards Reynolds and Mikhail, filled with an inexplicable surprise.

"...Hope he truly has a way..." Reynolds’ voice sounded from off-screen.

"Who?" The crowd was montarily puzzled, only the most perceptive intuiting sothing.

The video edited out many crucial details, leaving only scattered voices and scenes.

Then, Tan Ding violently struck out, his imposing presence trembling hearts.

But soon, under the audience’s watchful eyes, a golden light suddenly appeared, quickly covering the entire screen. In the blurred scene, they could only see Tan Ding’s look of surprise and doubt.

His figure grew smaller and smaller, further and further away. Alves’ face gradually turned heavy and wary.

What was happening?

The crowd’s minds were completely captivated by the scene on the screen.

Followed by an extrely high-pitched roar of an unknown creature.

Boom!

A massive azure tail swung from off-screen, forcibly swatting away Tan Ding’s attack.

"Is that..."

Everyone was stunned, seeing the scene on the screen seemingly extend infinitely, as if their perspective was being drawn away.

An azure tallic giant dragon of indeterminate length appeared on the screen, its head held high, pupils coldly staring at the enemy in front of it.

Azure Dragon!

The nurous X Level Life Forms present were wide-eyed, shocked and terrified.

The fear and caution on Tan Ding and Alves’ faces were evident, even to them.

Being able to counter Tan Ding’s attack with just a tail, such strength was utterly inconceivable.

Suddenly, the scene in the video abruptly stopped, plunging into darkness.

Everyone was taken aback, then quickly looked towards Reynolds and Mikhail in unison.

"The subsequent battle was too intense to record..." Reynolds stated ambiguously, calmly admitting.

The expressions of the crowd shifted, their imaginations running wild. Since Tan Ding imdiately struck, he surely intended to, leave Azure Dragon and the others behind.

But now, with all three Azure Dragon divine craftsn still active in the interstellar space, it signified the Empire and Federation’s plans had fallen through.

With Tan Ding and Alves present, the outco of this battle must at least have been a draw.

Realizing this, everyone couldn’t help but take a deep breath. Azure Dragon’s strength was indeed this formidable.

Gusta lowered his head, no wonder the Empire and Federation’s attitude towards Azure Dragon was so peculiar; it was all because of this.

Was that the true body of Azure Dragon?

Anatoli furrowed his brows; the video had cut out too much, providing little useful information.

No one knew exactly what they stumbled upon; most was about Azure Dragon’s power.

Nokes and Yalta exchanged glances, their expressions not looking too good. The good news was they finally knew sothing about what happened in the Red River Star Stream.

The bad news was, Azure Dragon had beco a troubleso ordeal.

No wonder neither the Empire nor the Federation wanted to choose Azure Dragon when dividing seats.

Only the Star Alliance, which knew nothing, accepted it.

The price was another vice-council seat, but now it seed the Azure Dragon seat would be unattainable.

Because of the abruptly appearing video, a dead silence fell over the scene, with no one doubting the video’s authenticity, let alone daring to randomly accuse Tan Ding and Alves.

"Does anyone still think Azure Dragon is hiding?" Reynolds said faintly, watching the group’s silent expressions, feeling elated inside.

Mikhail was helpless; using power to intimidate was indeed the simplest and most straightforward thod.

Reynolds had skipped the fusion process of the chanical Holy Spirit, directly showing the full form, playing a little trick.

But it didn’t matter; even if Azure Dragon fused in advance and then went to battle, who could say anything about it?

This intimidation wasn’t just about the council seat challenge, pure strength could shut everyone’s mouth.

Although the deeds of Azure Dragon were spoken of mysteriously, verified high-end achievents were lacking, this ti making up for it.

It’s just... Azure Dragon himself might not even know?

Thinking of this, Mikhail glanced at Reynolds again, this fool...

...

anwhile, in the chanical Court.

In the Heavenly Palace’s exclusive warehouse, Li Ming retracted his finger, having just absorbed all the accumulated tal materials not long ago.

The tal energy balance on the control interface had reached a terrifying 5.2 billion.

"Finally, I can repair the Infinite Hamr." He couldn’t help but rub his hands together.

Recent experints in creating various Controlled Objects had consud a lot of tal energy.

Logically, two months shouldn’t have been nearly long enough to accumulate this amount.

However, he had specifically adjusted the chanical court’s tal energy purchase share, reducing the chanical body’s production quantity, allowing for a monthly accumulation of six hundred million tal energy.

He was quite looking forward to it, even postponing the High-level Life Form Union’s mbership ceremony.

The timing of that ceremony was so convenient, right when he was preparing to repair the Infinite Hamr.

That wasn’t a big deal; after the repair, if it wasn’t over, he could go later.

With these thoughts, his hands materialized the Infinite Hamr, still incomprehensibly heavy.

Under multiple power amplifications, he could now only normally lift it; swinging still required so effort.

Without hesitation, fifty hundred million tal energy surged into it with great force.

In an instant, the cobweb-like cracks on the surface of the Infinite Hamr were filled with a golden substance, with its dazzling light covering the entire hamrhead, gradually being erased.

chanical reconfiguration sounds ca from within the hamr’s handle, repairing so internal cracks and damage.

Suddenly, a bright light shone in Li Ming’s eyes.
