Chapter 1132: Chapter 581: X Level Controlled Object Freedom
He is now quite wealthy, with seventy billion metal energy left, along with sixteen units of Blood of the World.
The five hundred billion metal energy needed to repair the Eternal Silence Star can’t be gathered in a short time, so it must be used wisely.
"Restraint-type Controlled Objects..."
He had always had the idea of crafting similar Controlled Objects; the [Magnetic Crystal Heavy Domain] currently under development was originally intended as a restraint-type Controlled Object.
However, the enemies he faces now are mainly X Level, where S Level Controlled Objects have almost no effect on higher-level Life Forms.
Previously, he was also strapped for Blood of the World, and lacked metal energy.
He held back this idea, but now he could give it some serious thought.
He estimated that over a long period ahead, he would always be dealing with enemies at the X Level Life Form stage, so it would be practical to craft such objects.
Buzz--
The pressure door of the casting room popped open to both sides as soon as the iris scan was verified. Li Ming’s shadow appeared at the entrance, and circular positioning lights lit up on the dome.
The mechanical processing units, previously in standby mode, extended their alloy forging arms from within the walls like a pack of sharks that smelled blood.
All the screens lit up simultaneously to welcome Li Ming’s arrival.
He walked straight to the main control panel, where blue light wove into a holographic projection. Li Ming opened the blueprint library, looking for various types of restraint-type special weapons.
"...Magnetic Flow Strangulation, iron magnetic fluid automatically wraps around the target, an entity-type, not very convenient to use..." he shook his head.
"...Stagnant Beehive, needs to be set up in advance, also not feasible..."
"...Sonic Howler, limitations are too strong..."
Li Ming’s requirement was stealth. Although these things would surely transform significantly after being upgraded to X Level,
it would be better to find the right type from the start to avoid wastage.
Each X Level Controlled Object requires no less than ten billion metal energy, plus one unit of Blood of the World.
If what’s upgraded is not needed, it can only be recycled.
Getting a seventy percent return on metal energy is one thing, but the Blood of the World would truly be gone.
"Hmm..." He rummaged through the blueprint library, mostly using the legacy from the Hammer Divine Craftsman, and there was no shortage of such items.
Soon he found the target he needed.
"Spirit Resonance Crystal, long-distance spiritual attack..."
Spiritual attacks are characterized by stealth, naturally meeting Li Ming’s needs.
The second item was much more interesting, "Metabolic Chains, engulfing the target with a special force field, increasing the physical cost of any action."
He believed that once these two items were upgraded to X Level, they would definitely undergo a qualitative change.
Li Ming brought up the blueprints and swiftly began crafting the prototypes—a process he was already skilled in. In just over half a day, he manufactured two X Level Controlled Objects.
In total, he consumed twenty-three billion metal energy and two units of Blood of the World.
Looking at his stock, Li Ming felt utterly calm; he had finally achieved X Level Controlled Objects freedom.
[Spirit Harmony Cube--X Level: An advanced weapon crafted by Divine Craftsman Li Ming.
...
Control Effect: Perception Boost--100 times.
Control Ability--Spirit Harmony: Launches spiritual interference on the target, causing a series of negative effects.]
[Reverse Life Body Restrainer--X Level: An advanced weapon crafted by Divine Craftsman Li Ming.
Control Effect: Recovery Blessing--100 times
Control Ability--Metabolic Acceleration: Any action of the selected target will consume ten to fifty times more.]
As Li Ming expected, the abilities evolved by these two controlled objects were very powerful. Seemingly simple, they would surely impact X Level Life Forms.
He could simply attach them to an ordinary mecha and perform remote interference, easily suppressing the enemy.
"These two, along with the Eternal Silence Star, make a total of three different methods; it should be hard to detect anything unusual." Li Ming left the casting room.
According to Anduin’s estimation, not all seven people were likely to cooperate with him, but rotating these three methods would suffice.
In the matter of the High-level Life Form Union, he had a natural advantage.
The Three Civilizations, considering their positions, couldn’t possibly give the Joint Organization any benefit and could only continue to suppress them.
After this, if not loyal, Anduin and others would essentially join his camp.
...
Meanwhile, on the front line of the Holy Castle, this place was not located within the real universe, but in the space between the Dimension World and real space.
The fleets gathered around weren’t just from the Empire.
On a certain Empire main ship, in a spacious room where the lights never went out, the metallic walls glowed with a cold white luster. Morris sat in a central metal chair.
He moved his neck, expressionless, as the metal spikes behind his neck dug deeper into his skin, causing blood pearls to roll down his spine.
The twelve holographic surveillance windows around the ceiling each displayed X-ray projections of his skeleton from different angles.
The mechanical arms hidden within the walls were injecting a certain silver liquid into the conduits connected to the back of his neck, suppressing his cellular activity.
"Lord Morris..."
On the table across from him sat Costa, whose face was dignified yet calm. "We want to help you. The Azure Dragon is our common enemy. Providing us with information about him would be beneficial to you as well."
"I don’t know," was Morris’s only reply.
"Sigh..." Costa sighed, "Your father called for attacking the Azure Dragon right from the start, clearly harboring a grudge."
"Strictly speaking, we are all descendants of the Titans, practically family. Your race has been away from the main interstellar community for too long, and we warmly welcome new friends arriving."
