This is really not mechanical ascension Chapter 995 - 512: If I Let You Go, Wouldn’t My Nurturing Be

Perhaps we can have a drink together later.

"...Your Excellency is wise," Beckett reluctantly said, "we wanted to know the hidden secrets of the Empire and the Federation, which is why we took this action."

"You want to know the hidden secrets of the Empire and the Federation?" Li Ming frowned, "Then why target ?"

After a mont’s thought, he guessed, "Because it’s difficult to target the Empire Federation?"

But then another question arose, "I’m not the only one who knows the insider information, right? Why haven’t you acted against Reynolds and Mikhail?"

It seed like a question, but Beckett didn’t answer, so Li Ming muttered to himself, "I see, you don’t know about that matter, so you think I’m easy to handle."

Beckett gave a helpless smile but paid attention, that matter? What matter?

Knowing that matter, one would think Azure Dragon isn’t easy to handle, perhaps even more troubleso than Reynolds and Mikhail?

After a mont’s thought, Li Ming placed his hand on Beckett, who didn’t know what he was doing and didn’t inquire.

"Was it a directive from Gutierrez?" Li Ming suddenly asked.

"This..." Speaking of the instigator, Beckett hesitated, cautiously said, "You’ve won this ga, and nothing similar will happen again, why must you..."

"Hmm?" Li Ming frowned, looking up at Beckett.

It wasn’t long before he realized, "Oh, you still think you can go back? No wonder you’re so forthcoming."

Lair knew about the Scarlet Wolves and understood that Azure Dragon had no scruples, but this group of people didn’t know.

At first, Li Ming found Beckett’s cooperation here quite odd.

Rupert, who had been silent, suddenly looked over, his body trembling but held firmly in place by the chanical Guard, grumbling, "Azure Dragon, what do you an?"

Before Beckett could finish speaking, he was stunned and imdiately had a bad premonition, murmuring, "Your Excellency... you shouldn’t joke."

"This isn’t a life-and-death ambush, just a small ga, why make such a scene for appearances? If we can’t go back, the Star Alliance won’t let it slide."

"Don’t worry, I’ll make them let it slide," Li Ming said calmly, having been attacked yet they still wanted to leave?

If he still needed to swallow this insult now, wouldn’t all his nurturing have been for nothing?

Beckett’s expression changed, questioning with so bluster but appearing a bit hollow, "Are you really planning to kill us?"

Li Ming didn’t respond, and during the idle conversation, both of their Genetic Essences were fully absorbed.

This attack directly granted him three pieces of X Level Genetic Essence, just enough to fill the remaining gap in his Evolution System.

"You can’t..." Beckett’s voice trailed off as a purple giant hamr smashed into him, his brains splattered, and his remaining body twitched incessantly.

Rupert stared at him, wanting to say sothing, Li Ming naturally hadn’t forgotten, facing him with another hamr strike.

"Clean it up." Li Ming left that one sentence and walked away.

All the Genetic Essence he had just absorbed was used for upgrading the Evolutionary Source.

At this point, his Evolution System was fully composed of X Level Evolutionary Source, combined with the [Ascension Source Crystal], which increased the Evolution Buff by 192 tis, totaling nearly a 900-fold developnt buff.

Estimating, the ti to increase the developnt progress by 1% had already entered within two months.

Looking at the Control page, Li Ming exhaled and couldn’t help but feel a sense of satisfaction.

Then he began to ponder, integrating various pieces of information, the situation was very clear – Heckler sent people to kidnap him, likely to exchange him for Robbin.

The Star Alliance acted against him to make him reveal what happened in the Red River Star Stream.

The only thing that puzzled him was the earlier inexplicable action of the S Level life form.

According to Lair and his own deductions, this X Level life form appeared abruptly, not fitting into Heckler’s plan.

Yet that guy was Heckler’s man.

"Hmm... if not for this Lair’s appearance," Li Ming pondered, starting to backtrack, "I had already noted this in Heckler’s account, assuming even if he sent an S Level life form, it would simply an he underestimated ."

"If this person truly wasn’t sent by Heckler, hmm... it seems like a fra-up," Li Ming pondered, "who could it be?"

The answer wasn’t hard to figure out; the na Adam ca to mind.

"What exactly does he want, to have and Heckler fight?" Li Ming frowned, suddenly stopped, pausing in front of the spaceship’s cargo hold.

Li Ming hadn’t figured out Adam’s sche yet, like looking through fog, seemingly more than just wanting to use him as a tool.

As he pondered, Li Ming already pushed the door into the storage room, which was packed full of various trap devices.

The Quantum Interference Core in the corner flickered with a ghostly blue light, enveloped in a transparent force field, with an unstable Energy Core pulsating within.

Mounted on the ceiling was a Space Stripping Device, shaped like a massive tal spider, with Miniature Black Hole Generators attached to the ends of its eight chanical arms.

The scale of the recent trap and its extensive coverage could affect even an X Level life form, with inherently excellent quality.

The auxiliary equipnt required was significant, but carrying them was challenging; these counted as core devices and were the most precious materials.

Li Ming touched them; they were mostly X Level Controlled Objects, with a few beyond control.

After spending so ti, he absorbed most of the tal energy from these instrunts and devices, leaving only so residue of unknown material, which certainly wasn’t tal.

"Hmm, eighteen billion tal energy, not bad..." Seeing the Control page, Li Ming couldn’t help but nod.

He originally carried five billion tal energy, accumulated from chanical Wang Ting in recent tis, left over after upgrading a chanical Guard.

And this ti, he recovered a total of twelve billion tal energy.

One attack was equivalent to more than two months of accumulation in the chanical Court.

"Just right, there’s still one last chanical Guard left to upgrade to S Level," Li Ming glanced at the Control page, identifying the last chanical Guard.

He imdiately infused ten billion energy, prompting a silent transformation in the chanical Guard on the Control page.

"Just a little bit more, and I can upgrade an X Level Controlled Object; I still have one piece of the Blood of the World," Li Ming mused, feeling a bit greedy.

"Too bad none of these people carried any weapons or the like."

While the chanical Guard upgraded, his thoughts didn’t stop.

This ambush caused him no waves, resolved effortlessly.

But the conflict it exposed was no trivial matter; in other words, this ambush was just the beginning.

If following his previous style, he would definitely choose to nonchalantly head to the Dinner at Dusk, shocking so of the people plotting in the shadows.

Let them be amazed in secret, guessing and elevating their fears of Azure Dragon.

But the situation now was different; the Star Alliance acted against him because, compared to other forces ddling in the Red River Star Stream, Azure Dragon seed the easiest to bully on the surface.

Li Ming didn’t wish for the intensity of conflict with the Star Alliance to gradually escalate in future pulls, ultimately creating an undying enemy.

But resolving this was complicated; he couldn’t simply charge into the Star Alliance and reveal his strength...

Uh... actually, he didn’t have much strength to reveal now; the chanical Holy Spirit still required the help of Reynolds and Mikhail.

These two definitely wouldn’t join him in charging the Star Alliance.

He couldn’t confront directly but needed to make them realize the danger, at least elevate Azure Dragon to a position that they’d need to pay a very high price to handle, deterring them.

Got to think of a plan... his mind mulled over, his eyes gradually lighting up, "Then let’s make a huge commotion, just right to test what exactly Adam is up to, and maybe I can gain so extra insight."

"Need to think it over...

He pondered, pulling up a virtual screen, circling various faction nas, gradually forming a clear outline.
