Chapter 350: 189 Chapter "Casablanca Flower" Scapegoat from Heaven

"You are indeed a great Mechanic, I underestimated you, to have seen through my disguise."

Seraad smiled miserably, "When I encountered these gold-eyed people, I thought I was lucky."

"As a result, if I hadn’t followed them to meet that great Mechanic, my identity wouldn’t have been exposed."

Sekard said sadly, "But it was worth it, an A-grade life form, a great Mechanic, all stirred into action because of me."

"Stirred into action because of you?" Li Ming’s tone was inscrutable, "You might be mistaken about something, I didn’t come for you."

Mogaro on the ground suddenly felt a chill throughout his body.

"Not because of me?" Seraad was puzzled, then turned to look at the gold-eyed people lying on the ground, especially Mogaro and the other four B-grade life forms, and suddenly understood something, feeling an urge to vomit blood.

His carefully prepared escape plan had inadvertently helped this guy. If Mogaro and the others hadn’t been lying on the ground, the man would probably not have dared to make a move.

"You’re an unexpected bonus." Li Ming asked curiously, "By the way, what did you steal?"

Seraad was on the verge of tears, stiffly said in a cold voice, "Even if I told you, you wouldn’t let me go; since that’s the case, I have no intention of making my enemies’ job easier."

"You..." Li Ming sized him up, "You really aren’t afraid of dying."

"Of course, I’m afraid." Seraad said in a deep voice, "But I know you won’t let me go, not just because of what I stole but also because I’ve guessed your identity."

"That makes me leverage for you, don’t even think about using threats or bribes, the best way to shut someone up is to kill them."

"You are indeed a notorious thief." Li Ming said admiringly.

"But you were just about to leave this place, so the thing must still be on this spaceship, right?" Li Ming smiled.

Seraad wasn’t surprised that the other could infer this, "Heh, this spaceship may not be huge, but trying to turn it upside down in search of something will undoubtedly take dozens of hours."

"The ruckus just now wasn’t small, the Night Eye Mercenary Group will surely come to investigate. Do you have time to search?"

Li Ming smiled without concern and quietly waited for an hour.

After the cooldown time for the Controlled Objects ended, he immediately switched to [Intelligent Assistance], quickly scanning the spaceship.

It took just over ten minutes.

"You...you...how is this possible!" Seraad was agape, as he saw the other holding a metallic case as thick as an arm.

"You’re really something, hiding it in the toilet’s water tank..." Li Ming said admiringly.

Seraad gave a tragic laugh, then became more desperate as the other had just gone out and returned, finding the item he had carefully concealed.

And inside the metallic case Li Ming opened was a "golden potion," shining like gold and flowing like a river of stars.

"What is this?" Li Ming murmured lowly, then glanced at Seraad and added, "Don’t speak. I didn’t ask you; I’m just talking to myself."

Seraad felt a blockage in his chest and a flicker in his eyes, as if glancing something off the ground, "I can tell you what this is, but you have to give me a swift end."

"Oh? Let’s hear it..." Li Ming indicated for Seraad to continue.

"[Casablanca Flower], this is an advanced reagent customized by Theo from the Advanced Biological Company of the Star Abyss Empire; it can enhance the potential of primordial genetic material."

Li Ming fell silent, then inhaled sharply, unable to restrain himself from taking a closer look, "This thing, to think that you managed to steal it?"

Seraad sighed, "Someone leaked the information, and I acted on the news..."

He was only halfway through speaking when Seraad, as if crippled, suddenly lunged forward, generating a tumult of green winds. His whirlwind blades tore through the metal floor as he charged at Li Ming.

At the same time, Mogaro, who was lying on the ground, and the other four sprang up, also summoning various Elemental Powers—fire, thunder, earth—and the floor was instantly shredded as they all attacked together.

Over an hour had passed, and the numbness from the nerve gas was mostly worn off, allowing them to barely launch an attack.

Li Ming was not surprised; with [Intelligent Assistance], he was fully aware of every slight movement in these people’s eyes.

In an instant, metallic luster twinkled, and blue electric arcs burst out like an ocean, leaving Mogaro stunned as he watched a golden cape being pulled out from behind the Mecha, feeling an inexplicable sense of déjà vu.

Ci!

Seraad’s pupils dilated, not knowing when, a super-ion sword appeared in the other’s right hand, sliding across his body, blood spurting out and covering everything around.

At the same time, an Ice Storm Spear materialized in his left hand, which he threw fiercely, piercing another attacker and pinning him to the wall, an icy chill spreading through their stiffening body.

During this process, massive metal structures crawled up his arm, quickly forming into a large cannon as blue plasma gathered.

Whirr—Boom!

A close-range shot passed through the slit pupils of one, blowing apart his head.

Czzt!

Another collided with the metal shield formed by Guard Taipo, only to be sliced in half by the incoming super-ion sword.

Bang! Only Mogaro managed to land a punch on the other’s body, with a dull and hollow sound, as if there was no one piloting inside,

Mogaro looked up to meet those mechanical eyes, and everything went black.

Bang!

The mechanical left fist hammered down, carrying immense power, and Mogaro was toppled to the ground again.

The effects of the nerve gas were still not completely worn off, and despite their best efforts to launch that one strike, the outcome was devastating.

"You... we are the Judger, if you kill me, there will be more coming, you can’t keep Kay safe." Mogaro struggled to his feet, panting heavily.

"You still think I’m here to protect him?" Li Ming shook his head in mild frustration.
