Chapter 416: Chapter 222: Unexpected Impact

Searching the smart terminal, Li Ming found the previously stored [Flame Thunder Emperor Evolution Theory] and exported the full version into his hands.

[Flame Thunder Emperor Evolution Theory--Level A: Records the necessary Evolution Theory for the Flame Thunder Emperor.

Control Conditions: Four million metal energy

Control Effect: Thunder Element boost--300%, Fire Element boost--300%

Control Ability--Flame Thunder Evolution: Mobilizes the internal Thunderfire Elements, deeply develops the Genetic Seed.]

Hmm? Only four million? Li Ming was quite surprised.

This thing at Level B required one million, belonging to the top tier of Level B Controlled Objects.

But at Level A, it only needed four million... regarded as a standard Level A Controlled Object.

Hmm, perhaps it was because he already controlled a portion of it.

"Also not right... the Subspace Folding Ring only costs three million; this thing has no lethality, purely auxiliary, if it’s too high, it’s actually not right," Li Ming muttered to himself.

According to Feder, at Level A, the [Flame Thunder Emperor Evolution Theory] can increase development speed up to sixteen times.

The evolution theory of the Judgement Holy Blade is also similar, not because of a pact between the two civilizations.

Rather, after years of continuous adjustment, the mobilizable cell activity has reached its limit, and that limit is sixteen times.

If he were to control both these A-level Evolution Theories, his metal energy would be left with only nine million, and he would need to leave aside four million for controlling the [Quantum Cluster Cannon].

That would leave only five million, which made him quite hesitant.

However, this thing is like an investment; all Controlled Objects depend on my own strength, no matter what, it won’t be a loss.

Not hesitating for too long, Li Ming steeled his heart, took control of both A-level Evolution Theories, and additionally obtained a sixteen times development speed boost, overall reaching fifty-eight times the development speed.

He tried briefly, and the cell activity was more intense, the improvement extremely apparent.

However, A-level Evolution Theories are not so easy to find, can I only upgrade through the Control System...

To promote these Evolution Theories to A-level, at least another thirty million metal energy is needed.

Li Ming estimated this and secretly clicked his tongue, if there was another Collector’s treasury, it would be almost enough.

But promoting to A-level also requires using Mutated Energy, this truly feels like a loss, as there are still many main and auxiliary Controlled Objects that haven’t been upgraded.

Spending Mutated Energy on these things, always feels somewhat reluctant.

He pondered, a knock came at the door, Cassis came to inform him that his goods had arrived and were placed in the castle’s warehouse.

"Got it," Li Ming replied, preparing to go to control.

...

A bit earlier, the United Fleet, secret interrogation room. Feder sat on the side, his hands tightly bound by a gene inhibitor, locked on the metal table, expression defeated.

In front of him, sitting to his left was Asimara, expression indifferent.

To his right was his father, Prince Bai Jiang, expression grim.

"Not bad..." Asimara was flipping through the materials, commended: "Fifteen days of interrogation, no food, no drink, and you haven’t said a single word."

"Your mental strength, among the young people of the Royal Family in the past decade or two, can be considered among the very top."

Feder remained silent, his tired gaze sweeping over Prince Bai Jiang.

"Do we really need to both of us to present ourselves? You are a member of the Royal Family, many punishments are not suitable for you." Asimara closed the materials, "But, do you think we’ve gained nothing?"

"Five months ago, you urgently sold the company under you to the Mozambique Consortium, and contacted several Interstellar Collectors, purchasing several Star Core Fragments from them."

"Ultimately sending them to Blue Star, must be for Li Ming, right? What did you trade from him?"

Asimara narrated calmly, "Or rather, what item was worth such a high price?"

"Who exactly killed the Firework Apostle on Blue Star? Have you already met the Mechanical Azure Dragon?"

Feder was startled, Asimara was so ruthless, directing straight at the core of the issue.

This was like skinning him alive.

"Does Isus’s death have anything to do with you!"

Damn! Feder couldn’t help it, why is every crap thrown at his head?

Harming a Royal Family member, if this was proven, even his dad couldn’t protect him.

"That’s an accusation without any evidence!" Feder glared fiercely, "I did indeed exchange intelligence with Li Ming, but so what!?"

"Accusing me of treason, where’s the evidence!? Harming Isus, where’s the evidence!?"

"I am the grandson of the Yitelan Emperor--Astaya, the son of Prince—Bai Jiang, the Earl—Feder, do you think you can convict me with just a word? You’re not the Yitelan Empress yet!"

Prince Bai Jiang’s frowning brows relaxed slightly, not bad, his son still had some backbone.

Because of the information asymmetry, he initially was at a disadvantage, making it very difficult to counter Asimara.

But as long as Feder could endure for long enough, he could gradually turn the tide back, the fear was that Feder couldn’t withstand the pressure.

Having been verbally assaulted by Feder, Asimara’s face remained expressionless, merely indifferently stating: "You want evidence, it will be here soon."

At that moment, a knock sounded, Intelligence Officer Alik entered with an uneasy expression: "Commander..."

Asimara frowned, Prince Bai Jiang sensed something, immediately said: "Come in, what’s happened?"

Alik hesitated, Prince Bai Jiang reprimanded: "What is it, is there any information I shouldn’t hear?"

Alik clenched his teeth, lowered his head, not daring to look at Asimara: "The ambush plan failed, Tiago was captured alive. The Mechanical Azure Dragon, unharmed..."
