Chapter 1123: Chapter 576: Azure Dragon Must Be Rescued
"We will request them to join the alliance against the Azure Dragon team."
"He understands, we understand, and you understand too. Revealing this secret benefits no one; it’s best to maintain the status quo."
Gutierrez was not angry about the failed plot, he simply remained expressionless, "It truly seems like a deadlock, so next we can discuss how to deal with the Azure Dragon."
Adam further stated, "Since the cooperation is reached, there is one more thing you both need to know."
Gutierrez and Malcolm couldn’t help but look over.
"Chrono’s Dimension World recently collapsed, and this Forbidden Life Form has perished," Adam said.
Gutierrez’s pupils suddenly contracted, and Marx’s face changed dramatically; this was indeed something they didn’t know.
"Can the Azure Dragon kill a Forbidden Life Form head-on?" Malcolm was uncertain.
In the very Dimension World where the Forbidden Life Form resides, it is almost invincible, and only an Ultimate Life Form can kill it.
Chrono’s death was extremely abrupt.
Gutierrez looked grim, "What other information are you hiding?"
The events in the Deep Dimension World weren’t only about the Holy Castle reflected in the time-space curtain but also the complex struggle over the Eternal Silence Star.
Including Chrono’s betrayal and fear, they were well aware of it all.
If the Azure Dragon could really kill a Forbidden Life Form head-on in the Dimension World, then they might as well give up.
"Of course..." Adam explained, "Do you know Talos?"
The name was unfamiliar, both Alcom and Gutierrez frowned in unison.
A moment later, it seemed that a report came in, and Malcolm hesitantly said, "Chrono’s former... master?"
Gutierrez completely hadn’t found this out, remaining silent.
"Correct," Adam nodded, "Chrono’s original Controller of that Dimension World was Talos, but for some reason, Talos seemed to have given up this identity and in a special way became a regular Life Form."
Facing their gaze, Adam said, "Li Ming is Talos."
Malcolm’s face showed surprise, "There’s such a thing."
"Li Ming, Talos..." Gutierrez frowned deeply, meaningfully, "The Empire knows quite a bit."
Adam then concluded, "We can confirm that Li Ming has some method to counterbalance Chrono, so Chrono’s death likely had Li Ming’s support from behind."
Upon hearing that it wasn’t the Azure Dragon that killed Chrono head-on, Malcolm and Gutierrez both breathed a sigh of relief.
But then, Gutierrez’s eyes flashed slightly, and he said, "Is that all? Has the Titan Branch revealed any news? His father seems to be after the Azure Dragon from the start, is there some grudge?"
"He hasn’t revealed much for now," Adam leisurely said, "but he mentioned something else, his clansmen recently came to this Star Domain, but were captured by the Star Alliance."
Malcolm suddenly looked at Gutierrez.
"So it was his clansmen..." Gutierrez seemed a bit startled.
Malcolm emphasized, "Right now, our common enemy is the Azure Dragon, I hope both of you don’t withhold any information."
"Of course," Adam nodded, "to deal with the Azure Dragon, we can only attack where he must defend."
"Currently, the Holy Castle is one, and Li Ming is another."
"But both are rather tricky," Adam had already made deductions, "The Holy Castle can’t be breached in a short time, and though the Mechanical Court is there, we can’t guarantee Li Ming is inside."
"Moreover, there’s one more thing," Malcolm quickly added, "the Azure Dragon’s counterattack."
"That black giant is on par with Tan Ding, yet was heavily hit by him in one blow. In a fight, none of our Life Forms can match him."
Even Adam felt apprehensive at this point.
"Yes, so once we act, it must be a lethal strike, otherwise it’s better not to move," Adam emphasized, "Next, we need to thoroughly investigate the Azure Dragon, find more of his critical points, and formulate a more comprehensive plan."
The three of them were well aware, the Azure Dragon was not an adversary they had faced before, and needed careful preparation.
Agreeing on the large framework, the brief Leader Level meeting concluded, and more people would discuss the details next.
The virtual projections around them gradually dissipated, Adam’s gaze fell on the table, where a shattered azure blue crystal was placed.
Fragment of the Eternal Silence Star.
However, looking at the fragment Costa had brought back, Adam’s face twitched harshly.
Because it was not half, but a third.
Costa hadn’t dealt with the Eternal Silence Star, but he had.
However, he hadn’t told anyone about this.
There’s another fragment scattered outside, which is bad news but also good news.
"We can only secretly send people to look for it..."
......
"... Then thank you both very much."
In the Divine Craftsman Laboratory, Li Ming’s vessel displayed a genuine smile.
Reynolds felt uninterested, "It’s nothing, we’re firmly tied together now, we share glory and loss."
Mikhail felt heartache, growing more pained as he listened to Reynolds.
The shared glory might not be visible, but the shared loss definitely is.
"Yes..." Li Ming couldn’t help but sigh, giving Mikhail a look which seemed as if he were constipated, in a particularly good mood.
Reynolds and Mikhail had hardly said a word of objection before they provided him with a combined trillion-worth of resource support.
Li Ming estimated that he could convert over ten billion metal energy; truly a large sum.
"By the way, there’s something I forgot to tell you both," Li Ming pondered, "Recently, when I had nothing to do, I was researching the mechanical Evolution Path..."
Before he could finish, Hayel abruptly looked over, astonished.
Li Ming continued, "I don’t know if it’s my good luck or what, but I’ve really made a breakthrough progress."
Azure Dragon, I knew it!
Mikhail’s mechanical pupils radiated light, though inwardly he ground his teeth, this bastard indeed hid something good.
What good luck, he clearly just didn’t want to share before.
"Is that so?" Reynolds was surprised, unable to stop his praise, "That’s amazing."
"I’ve been researching with Mikhail for so long without much progress, but you made a breakthrough on your own."
This idiot even praised him, I... Mikhail held back his frustration.
In a short span, he cursed both of them in his heart endlessly before suppressing his emotions to inquire, "How far did you get in your research?"
Li Ming replied, "I’ve already created an initial prototype."
Reynolds froze, his processor running at an intense speed, nearly smoking?
Is this called breakthrough progress? Done with the breakthrough already?
Creating a prototype already left Mikhail a bit dumbfounded, and he glanced at the cutting-edge laboratory built with massive resources.
Then he heard the Azure Dragon speak, "I originally planned to send it to you both after the Eternal Silence Star ended."
Mikhail turned his head, his tone difficult, "Lord Azure Dragon, truly selfless."
Seeing the resource support given, Li Ming overlooked the sarcasm in his tone, sincerely saying, "We already share glory and loss, it’s what should be done."
Mikhail was speechless, if it weren’t for them shedding blood this time, who knows how long this bastard Azure Dragon would have hidden it.
However, having developed a prototype, this guy is truly a monster...
He silently clicked his tongue, but his confidence in the Azure Dragon discreetly increased significantly.
Confirming the delivery time and coordinates for the resources, Li Ming logged off satisfied.
With this, the metal energy required to control the Eternal Silence Star is basically met.
"Next, it’s the Dominator Laboratory..." Li Ming pulled out the Star Map, looking at his marked coordinates.
"This area is too desolate, if someone inexplicably goes there, they must have a suitable reason and attract the Star Alliance’s attention to gradually get them involved..."
"Not only the Star Alliance... but others too..."
This matter is an excellent target for diverting attention, but it must be thoroughly considered, or it may have the opposite effect.
Li Ming stared at this coordinate, deep in thought,
