This is really not mechanical ascension Chapter 357: 192 Chapter The Combat Ability of the Guard [Re

This was Cassis in her Genetic Release form, her tentacles secreting a highly toxic and corrosive green sli that could be preserved for a long ti.

At that mont, Cassis swiped her tentacle, and a wave-like green sli struck, upon eting the edges of Thunderbolt's tallic shell, thick smoke imdiately started to billow.

It clearly had a devastating effect on tallic objects. However, a flash in Thunderbolt's chanical eye triggered the armguard to abruptly transform, revealing a row of tubes, and the tal fists clenched with force.

Imdiately after, high-pressure electromagnetic cannons blasted out of the armguard's tube, directly dispersing the green sli wave.

The corrosive sli splattered everywhere, instantly filling the surroundings with thick smoke.

Then, with the electromagnetic burst flickering, Thunderbolt accelerated like a teor, dragging a tail of lightning, and slamd fiercely into the green tentacle beside Cassis.

The green tentacle caved in, seeming to have elasticity, which catapulted Thunderbolt away.

Cassis wasn't injured, but the reactive force sent her flying a short distance, her several tentacles flailing quickly to regain her stance.

On the other hand, the hefty Guard, Taipo, seed motionless, his tallic body glossy, but his body exhibited high-frequency, minute vibrations.

The surrounding air vibrated, transferring the force into the ground beneath, rapidly expanding the area of the cracked surface.

Boom!

An invisible, massive shock wave surged directly toward Cassis, distorting the air as it passed, sketching an elliptical outline with an impressive force.

Furrowing her brow, Cassis had no choice but to leap into the air, swiftly dodging the shockwave.

anwhile, the Thunderbolt Guard had already flown towards the Taipo Guard, during which their entire tallic chanical structure transford, Taipo did likewise, significantly enlarging the tallic base.

Click, click!

The Thunderbolt Guard turned into a slender electromagnetic cannon, mounted atop the Taipo Guard, and together they erupted with powerful electrical arc energy that converged.

Imdiately following, a fierce column of light surged out, heading straight for Cassis.

"Enough!" Ulrich suddenly interrupted, an invisible force coming from all directions, the column of light dramatically exploded, and electrical arcs crackled everywhere.

Cassis gasped for air, she was a Grade B life form, with more than 30% developnt progress, and yet these two chanical beings had nearly beaten her with no chance to strike back.

Even though she had previously overpowered them.

"Sorry, there are still flaws in the underlying code of the chanical beings." Li Ming waved his hand, moving forward, his deanor apologetic.

Ulrich snorted coldly, both well aware of the situation at hand.

Cassis's face flushed with sha, knowing she had embarrassed her master, the Collector.

"Indeed, the great chanic, even your ordinary chanical beings possess such fierce combat abilities." Ulrich's tone was icy, yet he was genuinely astonished.

These chanical beings in themselves were not very strong, but they could enter a powerfully enhanced combat state. Their teamwork was seamless, capable of coordinated combat.

It was truly astonishing, and even with his rudintary understanding of chanics, he could recognize the startling array of technologies hidden within.

"Just so little gadgets, not presentable at all, it even malfunctioned. Embarrassing." Li Ming smiled.

The Guards themselves used the top-tier Class C Controlled Objects, currently powerful enough to confront a 100% developed Class C life form head-on.

And the chanical Guards could even share 50% of his enhancents; under a comprehensive combat system, their enhancents were well-balanced, which enabled them to defeat Cassis.

Ulrich felt the words chafe, frowning as he said, "I have other matters, I must be going."

Cassis gestured, and many soldiers with reverent expressions gathered back into formation.

"Collector, sir?" Li Ming suddenly called out. Ulrich paused but did not turn back, his eyes flashing a dangerous glint.

The ongoing troubles were already frustrating enough; if this man were to push his luck further, Ulrich's patience would be utterly exhausted.

"The items for repair are all fixed; might as well take them with you," Li Ming said. "Please wait here for a while; I'll go get them."

The fla in Ulrich's eyes gradually extinguished as he spoke indifferently, "No need, there's a banquet later. You can bring them then."

"A banquet?" Li Ming was sowhat surprised.

"Yes, a few friends are coming," Ulrich explained simply, then left.

Li Ming watched the large troop's back, manipulating everything with ease.

Glancing at the still screaming "Mad Lion," he shook his head, walked over, and pressed so button — in an instant, there was no expression left.

After he had killed that group of golden-eyed people, he had contacted Blake, threatened him a couple of tis, saying he was ready to submit to the majesty of the Judge Civilization.

Blake's efficiency greatly increased—perhaps he had been preparing beforehand; he delivered the gene seed Li Ming wanted the very next day.

As promised, he handed over Kay to him and even gave him a weapon.

The kid didn't quite understand why, but he was overwhelmingly grateful.

As for Ya Ro, he too was sent away soon after Kay left.

The death of the golden-eyed people involved Seraad; that thing being so precious, and perhaps having unforeseen uses, ant the Night Eye rcenary Group would certainly not rest easy.

The Land of Stars is not a realm of orderly civilization; these people do things without needing evidence. To avoid accidents, that's why he had Ya Ro leave.

Ulrich's testing and even offenses were all within his expectations. Without burdens, he had no concerns for the future.

Ya Ro had spent such a long ti in the Land of Stars, and was associated with the interstellar alliance. If he wanted to escape, it shouldn't be difficult. Li Ming advised him not to show himself for a while.

Back in his room, Li Ming waited an hour and then changed out the Controlled Object that had been enhanced for Guard combat.

After activating the Intelligent Assistance, he imdiately discovered that Ulrich had left more people to monitor him.

However, his room had been specially constructed with Hidden Star Alloy and other high-grade materials, capable of countering radar, thermal, sonic, and electromagnetic detection thods.

In his palm erged a tube, interwoven with blue, black, and crimson spiraled tal.

The Red Lotus Thunder Dragon Gene Seed, Class B, possessed molten lava, thunder, and a Special Energy called "Quantum Energy." The creature was enormous, with adults potentially exceeding a hundred ters.

Its hardened scales could withstand cosmic radiation and extre temperatures. Its body could generate and store scorching flas and thunderstorms. Its eyes adapted to darkness, capturing faint light, equipped with night vision or thermal imaging capabilities.

It was a strong life form active on so brutally harsh planets. With this thing, Li Ming felt much more at ease.

Even if confined by Ulrich, he could beco a Class B life form.

"However, my current developnt progress is only at 40%—a long way from becoming a Class B life form," Li Ming estimated, stowed away the gene seed, and took out a golden potion.

"Casablanca Flower, in the language of Star Abyss Empire, ans 'the ladder of Evolutionary paths,' also known as the 'Evolution Key.'"

He looked at the virtual screen; although the basic data for this thing in the Black Hole Network was as high as ten million Star Coins, he still bought it.

"...This is an extrely rare potion, mixed with Special Energy (click for more information), has an important function of enhancing innate gene potential, but works only for those with less than level ten developntal potential..."

"Even more significant, however, is its use in modifying Class S gene seeds, which can neutralize the violent genetic backlash, being one of the main ingredients."

Li Ming guessed it right, this thing's function wasn't just to enhance the gene potential.

Even to say, enhancing gene potential is just a trivial function; nobody uses the potion just to enhance gene potential.

Enhancing gene potential for anything less than level ten doesn't make much difference; it's unlikely to even beco a Class A life form.

Class S gene seeds, Li Ming mused, exceeds the tier of Class A life forms?

Class A life forms are too far for him, let alone surpassing a Class A life form.
