Chapter 466: Chapter 247: Li Ming’s Ingenious Ideas - A Method to Get Through the Barrier

Des paused to gather his emotions, temporarily pushing aside the incidents that had occurred earlier, and responded solemnly, "Lord Asimara."

"I knew there would come a day like this," Asimara’s voice was calm, as if he had anticipated Des’s call.

Des was in a bad mood and did not say much, directly stating, "You won’t go back on the treaty you proposed, will you?"

"Of course, you should know what I desire most. Apart from the Ascension Source Crystal, I can give you anything else."

Des held back the words he wanted to say, knowing that the offer might just be an illusion, yet his heart couldn’t help but skip a few beats.

The Ascender’s Core Relics held vast resources, and for the Yitelan Civilization, the most crucial was the Ascension Source Crystal.

But the other items were also valuable, and the Dark Matter Stardust that he coveted was just one of them.

However, he soon calmed down and said gravely, "You don’t need to tempt me so greatly, I’m afraid I can’t handle it. I can tell you clearly, I only want the Dark Matter Stardust and one-fifth of the resources. That is enough."

"Give me too much, and I’m afraid you’ll regret it later..." Des gritted his teeth, if not for the sudden appearance of the Azure Dragon, he wouldn’t have attempted to cooperate with Asimara.

A subtle gleam flashed in Asimara’s eyes, as the crystal communicator hanging by his ear had already relayed multiple analytical results from the intelligence department.

"The target’s tone contains intense reluctance, based on the event model, it matches the most probable reality condition—"

"That is, within the Torch Organization, serious disagreements have already arisen, and Des, finding himself in a desperate situation, has no choice but to cooperate with us."

"No problem, you surely have heard of my reputation, Lord Des. Although cunning and merciless, reneging on my word is certainly not among my many criticisms."

Based on the intelligence department’s analysis, she emphasized, "Whatever is promised to you will not change due to any accident."

Des’s expression slightly cleared, his voice also softened considerably, "In that case, let’s consider this a cooperation."

"I know you want the coordinates of the Torch Organization and even now you’re checking the source of the signal, but I can tell you clearly that I cannot do it."

Without any pretense, Des explained, "The coordinates you’re tracking now are from a signal transponder I had set up beforehand."

"I used the data stream of the Torch Organization’s external communications, then recompiled it using a special format, splitting it into many segments, which only specific transducers can decode and convey."

"The Torch Organization uses a Dark Domain IP, and all signals are relayed through the Black Hole Network, making them untraceable."

Asimara was not surprised; the intelligence department had already made an analysis.

One could notice a significant delay in Des’s response, a rarity in today’s Interstellar Network.

"I now need to know the specific internal situation of the Torch Organization."

Des anticipated this and immediately said, "We are confined to a particular area and are not allowed to contact other places."

"As for the Tanluo Biological Biochemical Agent, about one-third has been manufactured."

"One-third..." Asimara’s voice was cold, "I have information that the Mechanical Azure Dragon has absolute confidence in producing the Tanluo Biological Biochemical Agent. Can you confirm this?"

Des fell silent, "Your source is impressive. Upon meeting, the Azure Dragon immediately recognized the origin of this item."

"Over time, I’ve noticed that he’s very familiar with it, providing not only data but also many details, as familiar as if he not only had seen it but had also dismantled it."

Asimara’s gaze deepened.

"Do you have any trace of where this guy came from?" Des couldn’t help asking.

Asimara shook her head, "No clues whatsoever."

"No clues at all?" Des’s voice rose noticeably, "Since it’s a cooperation, there must be sincerity."

He had joined the Torch Organization long ago, unaware of external information and unable to investigate.

Yet the Yitelan Civilization, being an advanced civilization of the Silver Star Cluster.

And Asimara had connections with the big figures of the Star Abyss Empire. How could they not find any trace of a person?

"I’m not lying to you," Asimara said sincerely, shaking her head, "Indeed, there are no clues. He seemed to have appeared out of nowhere, and among the known Mechanical Masters and Casting Star Mechanics, no one matches him."

"He is definitely not from the Star Abyss Empire, and no one knows why he appeared here."

"How could this be..." The mystique shrouding the Azure Dragon intensified Des’s fear.

"The target’s tone is anxious, uneasy, highly hostile towards the Azure Dragon, likely due to a direct confrontation..."

The intelligence department already deduced from the way Des mentioned the name Azure Dragon, a certain peculiarity in his tone.

"Did you confront him? What did he do within the Torch Organization?" she pressed.

"Nothing much, only that his capabilities are too strong..." Des said wistfully, "He controls two Mechanical Bodies..."

He recounted the incidents that had happened before.

Asimara listened, and when she heard that two Mechanical Bodies had jointly suppressed Brother, her expression turned dubious.

Adding to the bewilderment, these two Mechanical Bodies were also capable of self-repair.
