This is not mechanical ascension.

"Self-destruction?" Everyone frowned. It was just an accident and not a worry.

Prince Baijan whispered: "It should have been set up by Benny. He already knows that he has no value."

"If this place explodes, nothing can be found." Albert looked at Asmara: "Can you stop it?"

"It takes time to crack the control core." Asmara shook his head.

Albert was silent and looked at Qinglong again, and others also looked at Qinglong.

"Cracking is not as easy as you think." Li Ming also shook his head: "I'm not good at virtual data applications, unless you give me a certain amount of time."

Reina didn't believe it: "Aren't you a star-casting mechanic? You can repair that Starkiller in the blink of an eye, but you can't repair this core?"

"I'm a mechanic, not a god. Do you know how much preparation I made to repair that gun?" Li Ming patted his chest and made a thumping sound:

"You guys guessed right before. My mecha does not have corresponding attack methods. After all, it consumes a lot of energy and may not be able to hit you. It is better to focus on defense."

"At the same time, there are some special methods. Defense alone cannot be my star-casting weapon. It cost a lot of money to achieve the scene just now."

"Let me smash this place, just one punch. Let me crack it. That will have to wait."

Everyone had different expressions. They didn't pay much attention to what Qinglong was saying behind him. They only heard "Tou".

Reina's already dark face seemed to get darker, and he said angrily: "If it can't be broken, it can't be broken. Why talk so much."

Li Ming shook his head and was too lazy to talk to him. He revealed that the time was counting down and was almost reaching zero.

The group of them could only withdraw for the time being. They retreated a considerable distance and stood on the temporary platform. The surrounding battleships gathered layer by layer and looked at the core ruins that collapsed inward.

There were invisible ripples in the central area, silent and no big energy explosion, only the core remains that were constantly condensing, collapsing, and deforming.

A big explosion will leave behind debris and ruins, and this collapse will leave nothing behind.

"Who took the things inside?" Reina's tone was cold and no one spoke.

"Oh, I was full of expectations, but it's a pity..." Li Ming shook his head, turned around and said, "Everyone, I'm leaving first."

"Wait!" Reina said solemnly, then he felt his brows twitching, but still said forcefully: "Qinglong, you are a star-casting mechanic, and you have sneaked in secretly a long time ago. You are the most suspicious here."

"Then why should I advocate opening the core ruins?" Li Ming asked.

"I did it on purpose, and I'm afraid you killed Gabriel as well." Renato saw with a dagger.

"Funny, are the two related?" Li Ming sneered.

"Then why did you go to all the trouble to sneak into the United Fleet? Are you here to go shopping?" Reina continued to ask: "These two things must be related to you!"

After he finished speaking, he saw the mechanical head turn around and glance at him lightly. Even through his helmet, he seemed to be able to feel the contemptuous look in his eyes, which made him even more annoyed.

"If you want to deduce from the fact that I sneaked in here." Li Ming said calmly, "Your Excellency Asmara, what method did I use to sneak in?"

Asmara, who was suddenly named, hesitated and said: "You should have used the Torch Organization to leak Li Ming's traces first, so that we could capture him and send Li Ming in first."

"You know that his development potential is amazing. Even if he is discovered, we can't do anything to him."

"Then I used the method of sacrificing dimensional creatures to teleport you here remotely."

Well, as expected, the dimensional creature was contacted. Li Ming nodded. He didn't know how Asma guessed it, so he let the other party speak first.

"So what's interesting is that Li Ming has been under strict supervision. How did he do it?" Li Ming asked again.

Asmara didn't know why and continued: "Yes, Li Ming's development potential is indeed amazing. Although he was given certain preferential treatment, he was not underestimated."

"I also specially used an A-level gene suppressor to put it on him, and put it under round-the-clock monitoring. If there is any abnormality, I will be discovered as soon as possible."

Albert nodded secretly, there was nothing wrong with Asma's response.

"Until, the interference of the undercurrent of stars..." At this point, Asmara suddenly paused, a certain brilliance suddenly flashed in her eyes, and she looked at Reiner:

"This sudden undercurrent of stars changed everything and allowed Li Ming to complete the sacrifice. Sir Reina, this undercurrent of stars should not have occurred suddenly."

Reiner's face froze, why did he drag it back and forth to the Judger Civilization?

He knew about the undercurrent of stars. It seemed that Antonio had found someone to form it through some method. He was quite surprised when he found out about it.

The undercurrent of the star stream caused the combined fleet to crash, allowing Li Ming to escape and teleport Qinglong.

Has the Judge become an accomplice?

No, these people suspect that I created the undercurrent of stars!

All of this fit perfectly, and he even suspected that Antonio had secretly reached an agreement with the Torch Organization.

"Fart, could it be said that without this undercurrent of stars, you wouldn't be able to enter the United Fleet?" Reina said coldly. Antonio will definitely report such a key plan to him.

"You must have a backup plan!"

"You two are not... deliberately acting for us, right?" Asmara said suddenly, glancing at Reina and Qinglong suspiciously.

Albert's face suddenly paused, yes.

Does the murderer have to be one of them? Isn't this something we do together?

"You are making trouble." Reina was even more annoyed. He really wanted to destroy everything. Unfortunately, he was not invincible yet. He stared at Asmara coldly:

"You entered the ruins many years ago. Maybe you took everything away at that time. You have been acting all these years."

He started to make random accusations. In this case, it is almost impossible to find out the truth.

Li Ming also looked over in cooperation, "That makes sense."

Asmara's expression was slightly tense. Seeing Qinglong agreeing with him, Reina felt sick as if he had eaten a fly. He said coldly: "Searching the memory can prove innocence."

His eyes fell on Wu Yanqing, "He should be useless."

"He can't do it. After all, he is another teacher of my student. Anyone who touches him needs to be careful." Li Ming reminded lightly.

Asmara also said immediately: "I still have people who went in at that time. I can hand them over."

Just kidding, Wu Yanqing knew the truth about Gabriel's death, how could his memory be searched

Reina snorted coldly, while Li Ming shook his head and said, "It's obviously meaningless to continue arguing. This matter is not simple. I have to go back and think about it carefully."

"As for other things, it has nothing to do with me. If someone wants to stop me from leaving, then do it." Li Ming's tone was very casual, and Reina was so angry that he was fuming.

Qinglong was not like him. He followed Grand Duke Gu Ya. After the other party left here, it would be difficult to find any trace.

In addition to the matter of the Star Stream Dark Tide, Gabriel's death must be involved in any way.

He felt cold all over, and An Ye was still watching in the dark. He couldn't break Qinglong's mecha and couldn't prevent An Ye's sneak attack. How could he stop it?

He could only watch the other party, calling his own people, and gradually leaving the central area.

During the time they were in this stalemate, the outer warships had already formed an array of the third layer outside the third layer, but now they had to open a hole.

Wherever they passed, the Itlans, the Golden Eyed People, and the plunderers all watched the group leave, their eyes filled with awe, envy, jealousy, resentment, and so on.

But until they returned to the broken and small warship, no energy flames lit up.

………

While the onlookers were excited or frightened, or yearning, or envious,

On the top of one of the warships, Blackbeard stroked his chin and also watched the group leave.

"Qinglong, he should be the one who has been secretly fueling the flames during this period. What a powerful mecha... What a thick shell..."

Before, in the eyes of others, the central area was just a field of energy fluctuations that kept exploding, but he could see it clearly.

"So, this guy has been planning this since he went to the Torch Organization, no, even before."

Blackbeard had known the name Qinglong for a long time, but he didn't take it seriously at first. He thought he was also a great mechanic driven by greed, until everything that happened just now also surprised him.

"He has been planning for so long, so his purpose is most likely to sublimate the source crystal." Blackbeard has been recalling various clues since the beginning, and now he has a preliminary context.

"Li Ming is his student, with a development potential as high as level 46, but he has been tossing around on that small planet for so long, and even became Wu Yanqing's student. He should be investigating..." Blackbeard always pays close attention to his chess pieces.

"Investigate whether there is any problem behind the whole thing of the core ruins."

Li Ming also didn't care too much, until not long ago, the news from the inside of the joint fleet surprised him, the development potential of this child was as high as level 46.

After Qinglong appeared, it was as if a lightning bolt connected all of this.

"He went to the Land of Stars again, exposed the level of the Great Mechanic, and joined the Torch Organization. It should be to get close to Benny, the survivors of the Sublimator..."

"He even saved Monroe. I'm afraid he should have seen the secret behind the whole thing."

Blackbeard's face became more and more solemn. This Qinglong might have figured out all their plans in this area.

He didn't know Monroe was still alive before.

"He is already a Casting-level mechanic, but he still refuses to transform his body. But his development potential is probably seriously insufficient. Looking for the Sublimation Source Crystal should be to improve his development potential."

Thinking of this, Blackbeard couldn't help but "tsk", "How low is his development potential."

It's not that there are no ways to improve the root development potential in the interstellar, it's just that the cost is a bit high. With the capital of the Casting-level mechanic, he must have tried many methods.

But this Qinglong is still a B-level life form, which is enough to show that his foundation is terrible.

Due to the genetic adaptability of life forms, most of the methods to improve the root development potential can only be used once.

So Qinglong needs to constantly find new ways to improve development potential, so he aimed at the Sublimation Source Crystal.

But he did not act blindly, but carefully investigated and figured out the whole story before he acted.

Everything fits perfectly, and the motives and actions have reasonable explanations.

"He is indeed cautious enough. Even if he doesn't know our origins, he must know that there are many people behind this matter." Blackbeard's eyes are dim:

"However, he must know that the sublimation source crystal has been stolen, and the arrangements over the past few years have been wasted. The people behind the scenes will not let it go..."

His mind turned, and he was a little surprised: "So, use Gabriel to exchange?"

Their purpose was naturally to provoke a dispute. They used the sublimated source crystal because it was the smoothest. After setting it up for so long, everything happened naturally.

The death of Gabriel was the most explosive, like a thunder on the ground, hitting Reina.

"So, he has guessed our purpose."

He shook his head. The current situation had developed completely differently from what he expected. He was not angry, but felt a little subtle.

"But the sublimation source crystal is enough to be used once. He can cooperate with any party to borrow it. There is no need to use such a violent method, or even kill Gabriel directly."

"Then what exactly does he want to do?" Blackbeard speculated.

A star-casting mechanic who has been dormant for so long must have a big plan.

A series of information intertwined in his mind. Suddenly, his expression paused, an unspeakable expression suddenly appeared on his face, and thunder flashed across his mind:

"Is it... a certificate of submission?"

"Did he not only guess the purpose of this time, but even more, so...he wants to join!?"

The last fog suddenly dissipated, and the mecha seemed to be standing in front of him, staring at him silently.

Blackbeard's expression was uncertain. Qinglong heard about the sublimation source crystal, crossed the stars, and came to Beimian to sit in the star ring.

Then, he accidentally discovered Li Ming, an excellent young man, and took him as his student, and used him to get close to the original chess piece - Wu Yanqing.

Gradually, I figured out the ins and outs of the whole thing, and I was keenly aware that there was a pair of invisible hands pushing behind it.

But he was not sure how big these big hands were. Later, he came to the Land of Stars to contact Monro, repaired him, and learned more things.

After peeling off the cocoon, he realized that these big hands wanted something bigger and more than he imagined.

Ever since, an idea came up, and he wanted to get a share of it, but contacting him rashly would inevitably arouse the vigilance and disgust of the people behind the scenes.

Therefore, Qinglong remained calm, not only showing off his ability and strength while adding fuel to the flames, but also killed Gabriel as a pledge to prove that he was not from the Star Abyss Empire.

Blackbeard breathed a long sigh of relief and squinted his eyes, "This cake is too big and difficult to separate. It's okay to have one more for you, but there is still something that needs to be confirmed..."

These things are just his own unilateral speculations. Although he is 90% sure, there is still one most important link that has not been verified, and that is the ownership of the sublimation source crystal.

If Qinglong was caught while escaping after the operation was successful, it would be understandable. No one can say that there is no perfect plan.

Moreover, Qinglong's methods can guarantee the truth, and there is no danger to his life.

But if he was caught before the operation started, it would be completely different, and the method would be inferior after all.

As for what happened in the core ruins, he didn't know at the first time and needed to wait for news.
