This is not mechanical ascension.

"The Four-Armed Demon King?" Li Ming frowned slightly, then his expression changed because Ford sent him a photo.

He was a strong man, with skin as black as iron, with four arms wrapped around his chest and lower abdomen, and an arrogant look on his face.

Is this the guy who fought Star King Monroe?

Li Ming reacted instantly and couldn't help but asked: "What level of life form is he?"

Ford was still narrating: "The S-class life form, on the surface, he said it was to hunt down the guy who assassinated Grand Duke Guya, but Asmara secretly got the news that there is a secret line in the Torch Organization, and they will definitely meddle in the core ruins secretly. thing."

"Hunting for the person who assassinated Grand Duke Gu Ya?" Li Ming's heart moved slightly, and he came for An Ye.

Ford said: "Asmara has been very bad-tempered recently and has become a lot more irritable."

"Didn't the people behind Asmara send S-class life forms here?" Li Ming couldn't help but ask.

"Life forms of this level are not allowed to participate in the battles of regional civilizations. It will cause a lot of trouble and is very complicated." Ford explained,

"However, the Bloody Archduke has already let out the news that Gabriel, his son, has died in the explosion in Ulrich's castle, and is preparing to send people to arrest the murderer."

The card of the Bloody Archduke also came in handy.

"Two S-class life forms..." Li Ming couldn't help but frown. The situation was more complicated than he imagined.

"This is the top secret among top secrets, you can tell me." Ford emphasized.

"The current situation is that under the leadership of my teacher, several people have cooperated with the Torch Organization again." Li Ming replied.

"Ah?" Ford looked dull, almost thinking that Li Ming was lying to him.

"Your teacher killed two A-level life forms of the Torch Group, and then cooperated with the Torch Organization?" He couldn't help but repeat it, and it felt like a fantasy when he said it.

Li Ming shrugged: "Yes, you can understand that Konite still has some trump cards, and my teacher can't do it with him for the time being, so we decided to cooperate again."

"It's really..." Ford didn't know what words to use to describe it. If he hadn't traded information with Li Ming many times and had a strong reputation, he would have suspected that the other party was lying to him.

"Have you found out where the coordinates of the core ruins are?" Li Ming asked, "If you tell me, I can give you some amazing news."

"Is there any more shocking news than the previous ones?" Ford raised his head, feeling itchy in his heart, but said helplessly: "Only Asmara knows the specific coordinates of the core ruins, how could she tell me."

"Come on, think of a way." Li Ming encouraged.

The corners of Ford's mouth twitched. Could this be a problem that could be solved by just saying "Come on?"

"Asmara will not expose this matter so easily. This is her biggest trump card. Although the purpose of the entire grand plan is to open the core ruins, she still has a series of strategic plans before opening it." Ford couldn't help but said. :

"Because only she knows that everyone is watching her every move, but she is not impatient and takes her time to plan."

"Besides, the tidal period has not really arrived yet, and the combined fleet is still docked in the Land of the Stars."

"Aren't you impatient?" Li Ming frowned subconsciously.

If Asmara doesn't take action, Konite and Benny will have no sense of urgency. How long will this take?

No, I have to stimulate her a little. Li Ming pondered, and suddenly said: "I can't tell you this big news, but there is another news that is also very important. I tell you first, because you owe me once."

"Say it quickly." Ford couldn't wait.

"The Torch Organization has contacted the Ascended survivors and is cooperating with my teacher."

"Remnants of the Ascended?" Ford's breath froze and his eyes widened, "Where did they find them?"

"Great Mechanic, Benny." Li Ming spit out a name.

Later, Li Ming also asked some innocuous questions, including the current situation, how many people were gathered together, and so on.

After ending the communication, Li Ming breathed a sigh of relief, "That is to say, in addition to Asmara and the Judge Civilization, there are more than a dozen private armed forces ready to fish in troubled waters."

"Two S-class life forms, who can beat them..."

Li Ming frowned, thinking a lot in his mind, and then switched to the black hole network account whose external identity was Qinglong.

There is very little information about this, there is only one piece of information, it comes from Star King Monroe.

Li Ming had informed him before joining the Torch Organization.

Therefore, the other party did not ask him what he was doing. He just told him that he had collected a large amount of metal materials and asked him to let him know when he came out of the Torch Organization.

Ten days ago, another message was sent, saying that the nano-curse had caused his body to deteriorate again. If it was delayed any longer, he would have to wait for him to find it.

Munro is not an S-class life form, but his strength is not comparable to that of an A-class life form. The criteria for judging the strength of mechanical transformations are very complicated and have too many components.

But Reina is definitely not S-class, otherwise it would be impossible to fight with Monroe. That battle was more than forty years ago, and Reina should have become an S-class life form in these forty years.

Li Ming thought about it. On Monroe's side, he could pump water, but not too much. The main reason was that the opponent's own combat power was also very impressive.

He started editing the message.

…

After putting down the smart terminal, Ford went out, walked through the metal corridor, boarded the elevator, and arrived at the strategy seminar room on the top floor.

In the strategic seminar room, the commanders of various fleets were projected around the silver-white metal round table.

Asmara's delicate face, like an ice crystal, was expressionless, and her lavender skin added a different meaning.

Gabriel sat in the back and listened, just lowered his head, not caring.

A virtual scene was outlined in the center of the metal round table, and various metal wreckage images kept flashing.

"Seventeen hours ago, we found this abandoned base. The analysis department speculated that there was a 98% probability that this base belonged to the Torch Organization." Prince Baijan paced around:

"Moreover, A-level energy fluctuations and extremely unstable spatial coefficients were detected there. It is reasonable to speculate that the Torch Organization has come to this area and has made some arrangements..."

"As for the energy attack that caused the alarm at the beginning, we did not find a matching attack scene at the scene."

Asmara had a blank expression on his face, "Is it worth holding a seminar for this matter?"

"This is the Torch Organization's reappearance after the last boiling blood alloy incident, so it is naturally worth paying attention to." Prince Baijan said solemnly.

"The most important thing now is not them, but a few A-level life forms." Asmara's face darkened.

"Not just a few, according to our known intelligence, there are no less than ten life forms with A-level combat power in the Torch Organization."

Prince Baijan frowned: "And Qinglong, the mysterious great mechanic."

"One hundred A-level life forms are not as good as one S-level life form." Asmara looked indifferent. She was not looking down on them, but Prince Baijan had a handle on her last time, and every time he discussed the Torch Organization, he would be pulled out and whipped, which made her extremely annoyed.

"As for Qinglong, to put it bluntly, it's just..."

Before she finished her words, she was interrupted. The door that should have been blocked was forcibly opened, and Ford walked in, flanked by two pale-faced soldiers.

Many commanders looked at each other, Asmara frowned and scolded: "Fred, this is a strategic seminar, only commanders are eligible to participate."

Prince Baijan's heart moved slightly, waved his hand to signal the two soldiers to go out, and said in a deep voice: "It's so hasty, is there any urgent news?"

Fred looked around at everyone and said: "The Torch Organization, internal strife!"

"Huh?" Asmara's eyes condensed slightly, and he hesitated: "What happened, tell me."

Fred's words were brief: "Qinglong and Theo killed two A-level life forms of the Torch Organization."

"It's the abandoned base we found before."

After the voice fell, there was silence in the seminar room, and then a low discussion sounded.

"Internal strife? That Qinglong actually killed..."

"Is it true?"

Prince Baijan's eyes flickered, Asmara frowned, and Gabriel raised his head, obviously paying special attention to Qinglong's news.

"Also, Deyes is dead too." Ford said again. Asmara snorted coldly, thinking that the other party was going to expose his scars again.

"In addition, Deyes was indeed turned against the party. It is true that the leader of the Torch Organization was seriously injured in the last ambush. There was no other deeper plan. It was just that Qinglong interfered and replaced that large batch of alloys."

Asmara was surprised, his eyes were full of brilliance, and Prince Baijan's expression changed slightly, looking at Ford coldly.

Ford did not look at Prince Baijan, Asmara hesitated and said, "Sit down first."

Ford's mouth corners slightly grinned, and he found an empty seat at random and pulled open the chair.

A commander frowned and said, "Your Highness, where did you get this information? Can you guarantee that it is okay?"

"His source of information is a special channel, and the truth or falsehood is not considered for the time being." Asmara said indifferently.

Many commanders changed their faces and looked at Prince Baijan's gloomy face quietly. How did His Highness Ford switch to another faction?

Ford continued: "However, despite all the accidents, Qinglong and Torch Organization are still in a cooperative relationship."

After the words fell, many commanders looked strange, and Asmara looked over in surprise.

"You mean Qinglong killed the top forces of Torch Organization, but they are still in a cooperative state? You..." The commander closest to him hesitated, "Isn't this too..."

"For some reason, Qinglong can't kill Connit, and their goals are the same. Isn't it normal to cooperate?" Ford said as a matter of course:

"Besides, we have no way to deal with Torch Organization. If we are dealt with by Qinglong, won't it make us look too incompetent."

It seems to be the same reason, and many commanders have nothing to say.

Fred then said the most critical news: "In addition, I have news that they have mastered the key to opening the core ruins and found a group of sublimators, so I suggest getting ahead of them and opening the core ruins."

Smash!

Asmara stood up suddenly, his face uncertain.

This news was too abrupt, disrupting all her plans.

If the Torch Organization had really prepared everything, then she couldn't play slowly and had to speed up.

Everyone's eyes fell on the princess. Gabriel frowned and finally couldn't help but say: "Sublimator Survivor, are you sure?"

Ford looked indifferent. He couldn't verify other news, but he really had a way to verify this news.

"The great mechanic Benny, his student - A-level life form Huber, is the Sublimator Survivor."

Fed spoke clearly and neatly. Asmara looked at him deeply and turned to order: "Go and confirm this news!"

The seminar was forced to end, and everyone acted quickly.

Even in this increasingly restless environment, ten days passed in a flash.

On the Coyle, in Li Ming's room, the red arc light illuminated the entire room red, leaving a series of charred contact marks on the walls and the ground.

Crackling!

Finally, at a certain moment, Li Ming slowly exhaled, and his body gradually underwent some inexplicable changes, becoming a translucent state close to red, with red arcs flashing inside, which made people palpitate.

However, this state did not last too long, and Li Ming lifted it, with a hint of joy in his eyes, "Finally 60%."

The development progress climbed to a higher level again, reaching 60% within his estimated time, and the conventional combat capability level has reached the A-level standard.

Even if it is only the smallest 1A, it is not an exaggeration to call it a qualitative leap.

It also means that under his full burst, the strongest burst energy level has reached the S-level standard.

"It's really amazing..." Li Ming was secretly surprised, and felt more and more the horror of the controlled objects. Various blessings have made him almost able to crush the A-level life form at the B-level life form.

Now, I am afraid that only Theo at this level can compete with him.

However, the various controlled objects he has invested more than 100 million metal energy, which is nearly 10 billion star coins.

"After all, it's normal to work hard for so long." Li Ming grinned. Who said that working hard to collect metal energy is not hard work?

Although he still has 40% of the development progress to grow, the base number is here, and it is difficult to produce any major transformation unless he becomes an A-level life form.

After reaching 60%, the development rate decays again, and even if it is developed using gravity, it is not as good as before.

Li Ming thought that it would take at least two months to reach 90%. If it decays again after reaching 90%, it should take three to four months to develop to 100%.

"Even for me, it would take at least half a year to develop all kinds of control objects to 100%, not to mention others." Li Ming estimated and was more and more shocked.

After thinking for a moment, he opened the smart terminal again. Star King Monroe sent the latest news, about three days to reach the designated location.

The designated location he gave was also the place where the black hole network delivered the goods, and there were still five days before the arrival of the goods from the black hole network.

And it also took them five days to reach that place. This was certainly not a coincidence. Li Ming calculated it when he set the delivery address.

They were not too far away from the Land of Stars, but closer.
