Chapter 1083: Chapter 556: Fortunately It’s Li Ming, Not the Azure Dragon

Abel couldn’t help but nod, “I understand.”

Ending the communication, Li Ming contemplated for a long ti, then glanced at the control page.

After nearly three months of accumulation, the tal energy had reached 1.5 billion, enough to sustain two rounds of repairs for the Life Power Core.

An attack stretched to its limits naturally has its flaws.

But Li Ming didn’t believe that anyone could withstand two rounds of his Giant God’s Strike of twenty-four hamrs, as long as he landed a hit.

His eyes were deep, “Holy Castle… whoever touches it, dies.”

He regarded the Holy Castle as sothing already in his grasp, not allowing anyone else to touch even a single brick.

Changing his mind, he thought for a mont and then called Robbin over. Since Heckler had already stepped back, there was no need for Robbin to remain bottled up in the chanical Court.

“Can I go to the Dinsion World?” Robbin was astonished, then faintly excited.

Of course, he wanted to rescue Zorro, though his strength was insignificant in front of eight S-level chanical bodies.

But he really wanted to see Zorro’s shocked eyes; that fool always thought the Azure Dragon harbored ill intentions towards him.

…

In the Empire Capital, the closed-door eting of the Royal Council just ended, and Adam, the Holy Emperor of the Empire, had an unusually gloomy expression.

From the council hall back to the palace, Adam’s expression didn’t ease at all.

As he passed through the palace doors, his imperial cloak imdiately quantumized, with twelve streams of light symbolizing imperial power winding around his ankle joints, leaving magma-like scorch marks on the ground.

When he stepped onto the anti-gravity corridor leading to his office, he seemingly couldn’t restrain himself anymore, suddenly stopping and shouting loudly, “They’re all looking for death!”

Energy ripples surged, and the chanical guards on both sides abruptly entered standby mode. These war machines, equipped with the highest loyalty protocol, trembled reflexively with the Holy Emperor’s emotional fluctuations.

The gravity paraters of the corridor began to fluctuate abnormally, and the nerve implant of the chief personal guard suddenly issued an alarm.

He saw the ring on the Holy Emperor’s left hand vibrating at high frequency, with the spiral arm star map carved on the ring face seeping out a dark matter glow similar to a blood scab.

“Holy Emperor!” He was shocked, hurriedly kneeling halfway to the ground.

“I’m fine.” Adam seed to calm down, waved his hand, and everything around returned to tranquility. He proceeded directly into his office.

Reaching his throne, Adam imdiately contacted soone.

The conversation was quickly connected, and it was Prince Costat, who was responsible for finding the Eternal Silence Star.

“How is it?” Adam went straight to the point without any pleasantries.

Costat’s face didn’t look good, “Chrono refuses to cooperate. I don’t know what the Azure Dragon did to him, but to make him work with us again, there’s only one way.”

“Hand over Talos to him.”

Adam’s palm suddenly clenched, expressionless.

Costat asked cautiously, “What about the council?”

“A bunch of fools, all complaining about why I advocated creating this organization in the first place.” Adam’s face contorted slightly, “A few old n in the Upper House have grasped a handle against and are chattering incessantly.”

“I really thought they would yield, but it seems that until I truly crush them, they will never submit.”

“They’re all short-sighted folks.” Costat was deeply alard. It was rare to see Adam this angry.

“Bla , bla for not foreseeing the Dominator’s corpse.” Adam gritted his teeth, even losing his composure, “If not for the discovery of that corpse, the Star Alliance wouldn’t have had to ddle.”

The most feared thing in internal reform is external influence.

The Empire still has its foundation, and the Alliance and Star Alliance wouldn’t dare act rashly. They have always turned a blind eye to the Empire’s search for the Eternal Silence Star.

He could have proceeded step by step leisurely.

But the ergence of the Dominator’s corpse disrupted this balance.

Being excluded, the Star Alliance would certainly find a way to interfere, and the Empire, amidst its turmoil, presented the perfect target.

If he were Gutierrez, he wouldn’t hesitate either.

After saying this, Adam realized his loss of composure, took a deep breath, and cald his expression.

Costat tactfully shifted the topic, “What about the Federation?”

“They promptly conveyed their willingness to lend a hand.” Adam sneered.

The Three Civilizations have an unspoken understanding not to interfere with the search for the Eternal Silence Star, but if the Empire actively seeks assistance, then whoever gets the reward keeps it.

The Federation naturally wouldn’t miss this opportunity.

Adam continued, “Bringing them into the ga won’t deter that group of greedy X Level Life Forms.”

For now, as long as the Three Civilizations aren’t united, this organization can’t be suppressed.

“The simplest solution is still Chrono. This fellow wields unparalleled power in the Deep Dinsion World, which isn’t solvable through simple manpower tactics,” Adam said solemnly:

“With his few friends, even more X Level Life Forms are useless.”

“But…” Costat hesitated,

Adam knew what he wanted to say, that Chrono inexplicably backstabbed them.

Originally, this backstab didn’t have such a big impact. Without Chrono’s help, they could still continue the search, just with lower efficiency.

But now the situation was different.

After thinking it over, Adam’s mind fixated on one na — Azure Dragon.

He still couldn’t figure out how this guy managed to intimidate Chrono, making him so fearful.

Thinking of this, Adam’s face contorted slightly again, and he said in a deep voice, “The only good news now is that the Azure Dragon isn’t Talos, Li Ming is.”

Costat was startled, “You… are you planning to target Li Ming?”

Adam looked grim, “This is almost the only option left.”

Costat opened his mouth, but no words ca out.

The Deep Dinsion World is highly unique, with many combat thods unable to be deployed, instead relying more on individual strength.

With so many X Level Life Forms, and a few like Gusta, just their group, or sending over a few more X Level Life Forms, would be futile.

There must be overwhelming, even crushing thods to intimidate.

“Targeting Li Ming ans going to death with the Azure Dragon.” Costat reminded.

Adam was also aware of this issue and felt helpless.

This enemy, originally chosen for Heckler, now he himself had to face.

But losing the Eternal Silence Star would be even more unacceptable to him.

On Heckler’s side, the Holy Castle was almost in hand. Without ans to resist, he might as well give up the throne.

“In that case, I suggest we revive the plan to deal with the Hamr Divine Craftsman, the chanical Holy Spirit isn’t invincible…” Costat proposed.

Currently, for each strong X Level Life Form, they have specially designed counter plans for their Evolution Systems.

When the Hamr Divine Craftsman was alive, they had already developed a highly detailed contingency plan.

To deal with the Azure Dragon, they don’t need to make new plans, just bring the existing ones back into play.

“It’s already been reinstated.” Adam’s answer surprised Costat slightly.

“However, for now, I’m not planning to confront the Azure Dragon head-on.” Adam shook his head, “I just want his student.”

Costat’s expression remained unchanged; targeting Li Ming or targeting the Azure Dragon made little difference.

No one knows how the Azure Dragon will protect Li Ming.

But Adam seed to have a plan in mind, and he didn’t say much more.

Even if it really ca to dealing with the Azure Dragon, he didn’t think the Empire would fail; the issue was how much it would cost.

…

The restless atmosphere across the interstellar community was faintly palpable even to Li Ming, residing in the chanical Court.

After finishing the conversation with Abel, Anduin, Perkins, Gusta, and even Anatoli contacted him one by one.

Probingly asking if he had any thoughts on the Eternal Silence Star.

Moreover, they set a small online gathering for five days later, inviting him to participate.

“…It’s because no one dares to take the lead that there’s this gathering. Ambiguously decided, no one is the leader, so everyone is at ease…”

Anduin said this at the ti.
