Chapter 1170: Chapter 600: Fully Repaired [Time Dominator]
Li Ming naturally didn’t care what the two of them were thinking, and had already rushed back to the Heavenly Palace.
The materials brought by the two were a dazzling array, but compared to the metal materials he plundered from the Holy Castle Base of the Three Great Civilizations, the overall grade was more than a notch lower.
There were also quite a number of rather large metal materials.
The technical premium of advanced alloys is quite high. For the same price, the metal energy extracted from these slightly lower-grade alloys was better.
Li Ming rubbed his hands and immediately began to absorb,
This time it took slightly longer, nearly three full days, to barely finish absorbing.
It was more or less as he estimated, providing him with about 24 billion metal energy.
Opening the control page, the most striking thing was the number beginning with “6”.
That’s right, his current metal energy balance had already surpassed the 60 billion mark, reaching an astonishing 63 billion.
Originally, he had 15 billion metal energy, and due to various preparations needed for lurking and upgrading various Controlled Objects, he had consumed about 2 billion metal energy in total.
This meant he had plundered 26 billion metal energy from the Holy Castle Base.
More than what he painstakingly extracted from Reynolds and Mikhail combined.
“Repair, repair…” Li Ming exhaled long, the damaged Eternal Silence Star emerged in his hand, the luminous blue light naturally causing the surrounding void to begin distorting.
As metal energy poured into it, a liquid glow suddenly exuded from the cross-section of the prismatic crystal’s break, and those droplets advanced along the fractures like living mercury.
This was a demonstration of the high-compression solidification of metal energy, which Li Ming could simply refer to as “universal metal.”
Every moment a fracture was filled with the light stream, it would trigger a scintillation similar to a nova explosion, accompanied by an unstable eruption of the Time Distortion Force Field.
The crystal’s missing parts were being filled, yet this time the metal energy wasn’t directly filling the void but creating miniature space-time closed loops on the edges of the defects.
Within these loops, the fusion process during the birth of the Eternal Silence Star was being re-enacted at a thousandfold speed.
Li Ming could only see the broken edge constantly proliferating new structures, indistinguishable from other parts.
He didn’t know how this Eternal Silence Star was actually made but certainly not in this manner.
“Truly… inconceivable.”
Such a magnificent and mysterious spectacle, even Li Ming couldn’t help but sigh with emotion.
The time distortion triggered by the repair caused the surrounding void to begin crystallizing. This was the universe’s self-reaction to rapid time changes, attempting to suppress the chaotic time parameters.
As time passed, the entire crystal suddenly began to rotate on its own, an invisible light wave abruptly spreading out, reflecting some peculiar scenes around—
A group of shirtless giants, wielding giant hammers, were forging in the void, their muscular surfaces rippling with some kind of pattern.
The hammer heads struck a certain luminous blue material, sparking flashes, not of sparks, but of micro black hole clusters.
This seemed to be the scene during the birth of the Eternal Silence Star.
With 50 billion metal energy thus flowing away, Li Ming couldn’t help but reach out and grasp the now completely repaired Eternal Silence Star in his hand once more.
[Eternal Silence Star—Ultimate: A super weapon forged with all their might by the Titan Race, possessing terrifying powers to manipulate time.
…
Control Effect—Time Immunity: Immune to any time anomalies caused by non-host entities.
Control Ability—Time Dominator: Possesses the ability to regulate time.
Control Ability—Damaged: Can consume the integrity of Controlled Objects to offset usage costs.
(Note: Some abilities are ineffective on the host’s true body due to special influencing factors.)]
Li Ming’s eyes flashed with brilliance, the effect upgraded from very high resistance to direct immunity.
All the other complex abilities were gone, consolidated into [Time Dominator], simple yet brutal.
The additional ability was also good, although it offset the usage cost by consumption, he could completely accept it.
At least at critical moments, he wouldn’t have to just watch helplessly because of insufficient energy while holding such a great weapon.
Now, gathering metal energy wasn’t difficult, just needed time to wait.
However, it was still hard to visualize how much it was actually enhanced.
Li Ming, filled with anticipation, placed the Eternal Silence Star back into the main Control Bar, and instantly sensed an obvious difference.
With the previous fragments, he could only activate certain specific abilities, but this [Time Dominator] was different.
Profound and mysterious, what could only be abstractly understood as time was now visualized before him.
This feeling was quite strange, as if he had never learned the piano, yet all the sheet music of the interstellar piano masters was in his mind.
Snap!
He snapped his fingers, and the whole room seemed to halt, the dust floating in the air, the energy surging through the pipes.
With a thought, time began to flow again.
He casually took out an ordinary alloy block, which in his hand began to age rapidly until it crumbled to dust, but at the very instant, it flowed back in reverse, returning to its original state.
“Manipulating time at will, this is truly a Titan Holy Artifact in its peak state…” Li Ming was extremely satisfied, it was worth all the effort he expended gathering this batch of metal energy.
Afterward, he tried regional time regulation.
After careful contemplation, brilliance erupted in his eyes, and he couldn’t help but tremble with excitement.
