This is not mechanical ascension.

"Everyone... I am the Apostle of Fireworks -- Sanna. We are here to greet you on the orders of the leader." The other party was on the phone, and his attitude was very polite.

Theo had verified the other party's identity, and there was no problem. The two sides quickly reunited through the battleship bridge.

Sanna was a thin human with a smile on his face. He greeted respectfully as soon as he came up, "Mr. Theo, Mr. Qinglong, Mr. Ulrich, Mr. Sandro..."

"Everyone has come all the way, it's hard work."

"Chijiwaiwai, where is your nest? Don't waste time, take us there quickly." Sandro urged.

"No hurry." Li Ming glanced at Sandro, "I still have some things to deal with, I need to wait here for a day or two."

"Mr. Sanna, it shouldn't delay things, right?"

"This..." Sanna looked a little embarrassed, "The order we received is to take you to the headquarters as soon as possible."

"It will only delay one or two days, don't worry, it's just that some transactions with the black hole network have not been completed." Li Ming took the initiative to explain.

"The transaction with the Black Hole Network..." Sanna thought.

Theo and the other two did not react in particular, but just glanced at Li Ming.

Although the conflicts between the four were complicated, the situation was very different after they came into contact with the Torch Organization. After all, they were a small group, and they would not drag their feet on such a small matter.

"This..." Sanna smiled bitterly, "Then wait a day or two."

These four have A-level combat strength, and he could not be tough and force them.

However, Li Ming said it would take one or two days, but in the end he waited for five days.

By the end, Sanna was already unconscious, and he urged Li Ming many times, but Li Ming's answer was no hurry, no hurry.

The leader was also urging him, and he comforted and explained on both sides, and was terrified.

"Finally here." On the deck, Sanna looked at the gradually approaching black spaceship, and even felt like tears welling up in his eyes.

"Sir Qinglong, you told me at the beginning that five days was nothing, and the leader almost thought I was going to rebel." Sanna said helplessly.

After these few days of contact, Li Ming found that Sanna was different from most of the Torch Organization members he had met.

Those people had a lot of hatred and bitterness due to their experiences, but Sanna was different and had a sense of humor.

"The estimated time they gave me before was one or two days." Li Ming spread his hands.

The small spaceship of the Black Hole Network landed on the deck of the warship, the hatch opened, and the familiar Black Hole Network staff were dressed.

"I want to ask you guys, why did you delay for so long? My friend has a lot of opinions about you." Li Ming pointed at Sanna and said.

Sanna's heart tightened and he waved his hands repeatedly, "No, no..."

"Because of the influence of the Red River Star Stream tide, it was delayed on the way." The leader explained dullly.

"Delayed arrival time? No compensation?" Li Ming further said.

The people of the Black Hole Network did not respond. Li Ming was speechless and watched them carry down a black metal box.

"The things are inside. Do you want to check?" The other party took out a tablet-type smart terminal and motioned Li Ming to sign.

"No need, I trust you." Li Ming smiled, and after signing, the other party left neatly.

Li Ming picked up the black metal box, which was quite heavy, and then said to Sanna, "We can set off."

Sanna was relieved, fearing that there would be another accident, and hurried back to the command room to inform the ships.

Sandro looked at the black metal box curiously, and asked suspiciously: "What did you buy? It's not metal materials or something like that?"

"You have cheap metal materials around you, why buy them on the black hole network."

Theo stared at the box, and Ulrich did the same.

Li Ming was too lazy to explain, and he carried the metal box back to his room.

He closed the door tightly, and he couldn't wait to open it. The metal box was quite heavy, and the base was an anti-gravity device. The "Norim Nuclear Gold" he bought was placed in it.

It doesn't look big, but this little bit is worth nearly 5 billion star coins on the black hole network.

The remaining 900 million star coins from the spoils, plus Tiago's ransom, totaled 5.6 billion. Excluding the nearly 600 million shipping fee, the rest was almost all here.

According to the information released to him, it is said that this thing came from the Itlan Advanced Combat Laboratory and is the core material of some cutting-edge weapons.

He looked at the gravity coefficient on the base--0.01, ten times the gravity adjustment?

Li Ming was surprised that the 10% transportation fee was not wasted. This anti-gravity device alone is worth a lot.

He tried to touch it--

[Z-3 Small Anti-Gravity Device--B-level: The essence is concentrated, and the technical content in it is difficult for ordinary civilizations to manufacture.

Control conditions: 600,000 metal energy

Control effect: Strength blessing-- 300%

Control ability-gravity field: Expand the gravity field with a range of ten meters, and adjust the gravity ten times up and down. 】

B-level items, he thought again, he still needs this thing.

Although the bombardment is fun, you have to make sure that the enemy will not run around at will.

He had discovered this problem in the past few battles. There was no similar means for the time being. This thing was quite effective and could be used.

"It was a pleasant surprise." Li Ming muttered, and did not remove the gravity device. He put his hand on the metal block and began to extract metal energy, while paying close attention to the control page.

At the beginning, the huge amount of metal energy that came in scared him, and the numbers on the control page jumped so fast that he could hardly see clearly.

"Tsk..." Li Ming watched quietly, and his mood became better and better.

It was only a small piece, and the absorption speed was very fast. In just about an hour, he had drained all the metal energy in it.

"Fifty-two million..." Li Ming breathed a sigh of relief, and the storage balance of metal energy reached a new high.

Originally, there were more than nine million left, and this time 43 million was extracted. According to the price comparison, it was a small loss.

However, saving time and energy, he was about to enter the lair of the Torch Organization, and he was relieved to get such a large amount of metal energy before.

"Well... It's just right to upgrade." Li Ming had been planning for many days, and without hesitation, two figures, one large and one small, walked out on both sides of his body, respectively, Guard Thunder and Tepper.

These two mechanical guards require 20 million metal energy for overall improvement, each of which is equivalent to a top-level A-level control object.

There was not enough accumulation before, and it had been shelved.

But he did not forget that the benefits obtained after the guards were upgraded were quite considerable.

Li Ming estimated that its combat effectiveness after the upgrade should be equivalent to a genetic evolution body with a development progress of more than 90% of the B-level.

The burst energy level can exceed 100B, and at the same time, these two mechanical guards can share 50% of his own blessing.

In other words, when [Thunder Frenzy] is activated, one of them can fight Sandro on equal terms, and two of them can hold Sandro down.

Not to mention the special ability [Guard Armament].

Thinking in his mind, Li Ming began to inject metal energy. The first to upgrade was Thunder, whose thin body was only 1.5 meters.

As the metal energy was injected, the golden arc spread and quickly covered it. The mechanical structure and metal components in the body began to transform.

This time the movement was obviously larger than the last time. The golden arc formed psychedelic colors around it, and the appearance changed further.

This change is a fundamental change from the inside to the outside. The underlying structure, logic code, alloy materials, and weapon devices have all undergone earth-shaking changes, which is really magical.

After the upgrade, the Thunder Guard has a brand new look, but the height has been further reduced to only 1.2 meters, and there is almost no obvious mechanical structure on the surface.

The whole body is covered with blue metal armor with complex patterns, which also plays the role of energy diversion.

Next is the guard Tepper. After the upgrade, his height and volume become thicker. One metal arm is longer than Lei Ting. The full metal armor makes him look like a wall, giving people a full sense of security.

Looking at the two mechanical guards, Li Ming nodded with satisfaction. After upgrading them, there are still more than 30 million metal energy left.

"Well, let's use it."

Li Ming stared at the control page, thinking for a long time, and finally decided to use the last alienated energy.

After using it, there are still 22 million metal energy left, enough to deal with emergencies.

As for where to use it, he did not hesitate too much. Naturally, it is [Justice Arm Armor], choose the control route, and the ultimate power data blessing.

[Justice Arm Armor--A level: Fist of Justice, only falls on sinners!

…

Control ability: Characteristics--[Armor Breaking True Damage]

Control effect--Justice Fighting: Additional 2000% strength, and gain the "Fire" ability. 】

[Armor Breaking True Damage: Gain 800% strength blessing, and ignore 25% of the target's defense. 】

Li Ming's eyes lit up. After upgrading to A-level, the effect is indeed very powerful, and the data blessing doubles.

The new characteristic [Armor Breaking True Damage] is extremely rough, directly ignoring 25% of the target's defense.

This made his eyes fall on those main control objects that have not been upgraded.

The [Tank Guard] that was upgraded before to obtain the maximum combat power in a short period of time, and the [Silver Gray Particles] that was upgraded to support the activities of the [Tank Guard], are not considered orthodox main combat attack control objects.

The powerful attack control object, the effect is really good, and there is also [Super Magnetic Electric Explosion Shoes]. After upgrading, I don’t know if the short-range burst speed can match Theo.

The scene of the opponent's sudden attack on Blelim is still vivid in Li Ming’s mind.

However, he no longer had the alienation energy in his hand, so if he wanted to upgrade other things, he had to make some plans.

"Huh..." After thinking for a while, Li Ming didn't know how long it would take to reach the headquarters of the Torch Organization. He wanted to develop gene seeds, but after his eyes swept through the porthole, he couldn't help but let out a light "Huh".

He flashed in front of the porthole, and the scene outside was not the interstellar streamer he was used to seeing during the jump in the past.

Instead, it was a milky white color. Looking closely, it looked like the internal tissue skin of some creature, and the wrinkles were clearly visible.

"This is..." Li Ming was surprised, and he no longer had the idea of ​​developing gene seeds. He went out and went straight to the upper command room.

Theo and the other two were all here, and Sandro looked even more puzzled. Seeing Li Ming coming, he couldn't help but say, "Qinglong, do you know what just happened?"

Before Li Ming could speak, Sandro couldn't wait to say, "This guy just jumped for a while, and then opened his bloody mouth and swallowed us all in. We are actually in the stomach of some creature."

"It's not a creature, it's a space worm-Bolikuter." Sanna's cheek twitched and emphasized.

Space worm? Li Ming's heart moved slightly. He really heard of this name.

When on Blue Star, the Torch Organization seemed to use this dimensional creature to let several flame apostles cross space.

"Don't worry about what creature it is, this is too weird." Sandro muttered, obviously he had not had much contact with dimensional creatures.

Ulrich and Theo looked relatively normal.

"Your Excellency Qinglong, are you here?" Sanna looked over.

"Let me ask how long it will take?" Li Ming looked as usual.

"Three days at most, please don't worry." Sanna smiled.

Several people left here. Sandro still didn't react. Ulrich said, "No wonder the headquarters of the Torch Organization is so mysterious. Space worms can span several galaxies in a short time. I don't know if it takes three days." We'll go somewhere."

"This Torch Organization is quite skilled in the application of dimensional creatures. This actually surprised me." Li Ming said proactively, arousing Ulrich's desire to elaborate in a surprising way.

"Is there something in a small place that can surprise you?"

"There are many things that surprise me." Li Ming said calmly: "I have occasionally come into contact with the life forms and organizations of dimensional creatures. I have seen a lot, but there are not many applications that are as proficient as theirs."

"That's right." Ulrich nodded, with a serious look on his face, "Contacting dimensional creatures and exploring deep dimensional worlds are generally exclusive to star cluster-level civilizations and empire-level civilizations."

"Star cluster-level civilization?" Sandro looked over, "Where did the star cluster-level civilization come from?"

Ulrich explained: "A civilization that radiates several star clusters within its territory but does not reach the empire-level standard is called a star cluster-level civilization."

"How come I haven't heard of it?" Sandro was puzzled. "The Interstellar Alliance hasn't divided it yet, has it?"

Ulrich sneered: "This is the way for empire-level civilization to maintain hegemony. It gives people the feeling that there is only one step between the two sides, but in fact, the gap between advanced civilization and empire-level civilization is astonishingly large,"

"It is impossible for a cluster-level civilization to be born near an empire-level civilization." Theo said, "We are near the Star Abyss Empire, so of course you have never heard of it."

"No, you have actually heard of it." Ulrich added: "The sublimator civilization is actually a star cluster-level civilization."

"Huh? Could it be that they were destroyed by the Star Abyss Empire?" Sandro was surprised.

Li Ming mused to himself that the expansion of civilization is as instinctive as the evolution of genes.

When it reaches a certain point, it can no longer be stopped by a certain person or a certain will.

Naturally, an imperial-level civilization cannot just sit back and watch this civilization grow slowly, and must definitely strangle it in the cradle.

Being near an empire-level civilization is also a kind of tragedy. It will be affected unconsciously, and all aspects will move closer to it. It cannot be too strong yet.

"I don't know." Ulrich did not respond accurately, and Theo had no desire to discuss these things, so he brought up another matter:

"As far as I know, the Torch Organization came into contact with an extremely powerful dimensional creature in the deep dimensional world some time ago."

Li Ming's eyelids twitched, and Ulrich added rather solemnly: "Yes, the Torch Organization calls it the Dimension God, or the God of Dimension, the Master of Dimension..."

No, where did the last two titles come from?

Li Ming was confused.
