However, now he received a harsh blow; his father was always alive, just not regarding them at all.
If not, he wouldn’t have sought help from Azure Dragon, leading to an irreversible path.
In his heart was resentnt, anger, hatred; a low spiritual fluctuation mixed with roars, questioned from the soul: "Is it... really worth this!?"
Adam’s indifferent gaze fell on Abel, extrely calm, "Sacrifice is necessary."
Abel’s face changed, wanting to retort, but only felt a deep helplessness from within, various complex emotions intertwined, leaving only an almost naive response: "You have no son now."
A wave finally rippled across Adam’s eyes, but it quickly disappeared, and he made no response.
Alves, standing just behind him, felt his throat dry; the uncertainty of the world led to such an outco in the end.
He roughly understood what was happening, though many doubts remained, now was not the ti to ponder.
His fingers trembled slightly, and a barely noticeable Flowing Light flashed in his hand. Hols, eyes wide and unresponsive, looked towards Alves with a tremor in his gaze.
But then he reacted, the Void Anchor clenched in his hand trembled, highly compressed energy surged through the cracks, causing the space around him to shudder, his body turning blurry, seemingly about to disappear abruptly the next mont.
However, Adam, standing in front of him, only slightly turned his head.
Crack--
Hols’ face changed dramatically, the surrounding void instantly shattered, void storms burst forth violently, seeming to engulf the others around, his scattered body instantly solidified.
"Holy Emperor, what do you an by this?" Alves couldn’t help but ask.
"Don’t be so eager to leave," Adam said indifferently, without any visible movent, as the shattered void rapidly repaired itself, "You all ca specially to assist the Empire, and I have not properly thanked you."
Alves’ face turned ugly; they were truly trapped now, unable to take the Void Anchor, not knowing what the ultimate result would be for them.
"We ca specifically to support the Empire, what does this an now, not letting us leave?"
In the ruins of the Imperial Palace, the Federation’s representative roared repeatedly, fiddling incessantly with the nearly collapsed smart terminal in his hand, attempting to reconnect with Malcolm.
He clearly understood what leaving the Void Anchor represented.
"Arthur, what exactly do you an!" Finally, he turned to the dazed Arthur sitting there, questioning repeatedly.
In his mind, Arthur must also be a participant in this grand sche, luring the Federation and the Star Alliance into the ga.
However, he only received a vacant, dazed look from Arthur.
"Please don’t be anxious..." A cool voice ca from underground, as Prince Costat ascended slowly.
"Prince Costat?" The Federation representative’s heart jumped, disregarding other things, he repeatedly asked: "What do you an by blocking us, are you thinking of taking the Void Anchor too?"
"You can ask the Holy Emperor that yourself," Costat shook his head, looking at the collapsed Arthur, who also lifted his head to look at him, a hint of hope seeming to dawn in his once vacant eyes.
Costat sighed, a trace of reluctance swept across his face, but he shook his head at last.
Seeing this, Arthur seed bereft of his last bit of strength, his body convulsed, hair disheveled, with a ferocious face letting out an unpleasant laugh: "Great Holy Emperor, great father..."
Since he couldn’t find any trace of Adam, he had sensed sothing was amiss, but there was essentially no way back for him.
Costat turned his head, the most genuine part of this sche was actually in the performance of these princes.
Adam almost only exposed an injury, and everything else unfolded naturally.
It was to ensure the utmost authenticity, to make everyone believe that Adam had chosen no one to conspire with him.
If there were any slight inconsistency, the Upper and Lower Houses wouldn’t act, the Federation and Star Alliance wouldn’t support, and Azure Dragon wouldn’t back Abel.
Only the most genuine could succeed, and the price was these princes.
"To accomplish great things, even kindred can be sacrificed." Levinbeck leisurely approached, gazing at Arthur, whose heart was like dead ashes, seeming to recall his own past, he couldn’t help but look up to the Starfield.
Teacher, are you satisfied with the gift I prepared for you?
......
Watching Adam suppress Hols, who was holding the Void Anchor, with just a glance, the people behind Li Ming seed pricked by needles, standing uneasily.
Anatoli dared not make a rash move, his heart filled with terror; Adam was already the Ultimate Life Form, how could one compete.
These fellows who ca with such fanfare would inevitably be settled.
Many who held grudges against the Empire were all caught, indeed a reversal of fortune for the Empire.
He stared at Li Ming’s back, finally understanding,
The move to let Li Ming co instead of him by Azure Dragon was truly brilliant.
If Adam hadn’t appeared, just relying on the chanical Body strengthened through the Bone of Dominator was enough to suppress the scene, still showcasing Azure Dragon’s mysterious unpredictability.
If this was a grand sche, and Azure Dragon’s True Body never ca, then there was no danger, nothing to lose either way.
In his mind, Anatoli couldn’t stop complaining, "You really got us into a ss, if you were cautious, why make such a big commotion!"
"Li Ming..." Adam’s gaze shifted, truly landing on Li Ming, with a sort of reluctance, appreciation, curiosity...
"This should be our first eting." Adam spoke with composure, at ease, but then added: "Or perhaps the first."
Adam’s words were peculiar, but no one delved into them, all pondering how to extricate themselves from this grand sche.
"I suppose so," Li Ming responded, his deanor neither servile nor overbearing, even with a hint of casualness.
No one found it inappropriate, Anatoli felt all the more bitter, Azure Dragon was too cunning.
Li Ming was just his student, both important and not, Adam likely wouldn’t kill him, making this action essentially risk-free.
Instead, they found out the specific power of Adam, and subsequently just needed to lay low, wait quietly for his Ultimate Gene Evolution Seed to be developed, and then return, capable of rivaling him in every way.
"Such a young X Level Life Form, truly astonishing, you seem to be just in your early thirties." Adam also marveled, noticing Li Ming’s Information State skillfully concealed.
Others didn’t notice imdiately, but being the Ultimate Life Form, he saw through it at once.
What?
The many X Level Life Forms, pondering escape, couldn’t help but turn upon hearing this.
X Level Life Form?
Alves was astonished and uncertain, even with the first Ultimate Life Form in the interstellar right before him, Li Ming’s terrifying developnt pace still startled him.
Anduin was rattled; Li Ming was already an X Level Life Form? That was too monstrous.
"The Holy Emperor praised overly, you are the remarkable one, deceiving the entire interstellar, the first Ultimate Evolution Body, worthy of being enshrined in interstellar history." Li Ming sincerely admired.
"Deceive?" ntioning this word, Adam’s expression subtly changed, shaking his head, "Compared to you, I’m nothing."
After expressing this inexplicable statent, Adam then asked, "Why not let Azure Dragon communicate with ?"
The people, having regained their composure, also gradually sensed sothing amiss.
Adam’s attitude towards Li Ming was peculiar, since his appearance, he hadn’t spoken to anyone else, seeming to only have Li Ming in his eyes.
If it was because he valued Azure Dragon behind him, his words were hard to understand.
He wanted to communicate with Azure Dragon, but needed Li Ming to "allow" it?
Li Ming’s face subtly paused, Azure Dragon’s signature armor covering him, yet still no response.
Adam ticulously observed the cha from top to bottom, wearing a complex expression that no one else could comprehend, blending bemusent, understanding, and fervor, with a calm spiritual fluctuation spreading out,
"Wearing the armor, you are Azure Dragon, without it, you’re Li Ming, a vast interstellar realm manipulated at your fingertips, without anyone discovering a trace."
"In front of you, I don’t have the right to use the word ’deceive.’
