This is really not mechanical ascension

Chapter 590: Chapter 309 Who Said I Was Leaving?

Central Battlefield, the energy tidal wave never ceases, seemingly anxious, yet progress remains elusive.

Reina and Albert have boasted significantly, claiming that even if they cannot break through the defense, they must continue fighting, otherwise it would be a major loss of face.

Li Ming, with his acute senses, recognized this fact. Although the opponent cannot breach the defense, he is constantly exhausting his strength. Even without moving and with all kinds of enhancements at play, including recovery buffs, it still does not stop.

If he were forced out of the possession state, he doesn’t know if he might be fatally shocked.

"Both of you, there really is no need to keep fighting."

An abrupt voice resonated in the minds of Reina and Albert, and the surging energy tide momentarily halted.

Almost without hesitation, Reina and Albert both stopped, as if they had been waiting for these words.

"It doesn’t seem to be purely spiritual power..." Albert realized, noting the peculiar way Azure Dragon delivered the message.

The entangled energy particles in the field gradually dissipated, revealing the mecha which was almost undamaged, hovering in the starfield.

Then, Azure Dragon continued, "None of us can overpower the other, continuing to fight is just a waste of time."

"Hmph, we can call for reinforcements, and if necessary, wait a month or two." Reina said resolutely, feeling numbness in both arms.

It’s estimated that development progress would need to reach at least 30% or even 50% to inflict damage on this shell.

As for his development potential, he was originally not meant to become an S-Level life form. Only with the vast resources provided by Duke Guya had he barely managed to become an S-Level life form.

But his potential is already exhausted, nearly impossible to make further progress, so in this lifetime, he wouldn’t be able to break through.

"Stop joking, both you and I know it’s impossible. How much longer until the Tidal Period of the Red River Star Stream?" Li Ming countered, to which Reina scoffed.

As they ceased their battle, the surrounding A-Level life forms also immediately stopped, looking towards the center.

Albert spoke with a cold expression, "You are right, we can’t break through your Defense Dark Night. Dark Night is ready to act, and it would only result in a stalemate, waiting for the Tidal Period to end, then we all are in big trouble."

"Then let’s end it. You and Dark Night can leave; we won’t stop you."

Many A-Level life forms who received this psychic wave were astonished; indeed, they couldn’t break through the defense, so the mecha was that invulnerable?

"Just let them go?" Reina was unwilling, "Who killed Gabriel hasn’t been decided yet; if we let them go, are you really sure it was me?"

"Who says we are leaving?" Before Albert could respond, Li Ming replied, "What I mean is we can cooperate, open up the Core Relics, share the contents inside, and then each go our separate ways."

Leaving now, when the Core Relics are opened and found empty, Reina would surely place the blame on him and further stir trouble.

Albert’s face grew pale, "You still want to share the Core Relics?"

Asimara looked over suddenly, and Feder was secretly startled; this was indeed a bold move, even thinking about sharing the Core Relics.

Reina, on the other hand, hesitated, feeling embarrassed to look at Albert, and tentatively said: "This proposal, not bad."

Albert coldly glanced at him, "There’s only one Ascension Source Crystal, how do you propose we share it?"

"I always considered you all as part of the Star Abyss Empire, whoever gets it, lending it to me for a while should be fine, right?" Li Ming expressed, "I heard there are some special materials inside, I am very interested."

"Let’s just open it, we can’t keep this standoff forever." Reina stated bluntly, as originally the United Fleet had the advantage.

They are the attackers, bearing the pressure of time, at a disadvantage, possibly not able to snag it, but now it’s uncertain.

At least they are on an equal starting line now.

Albert faced Reina’s sudden change of heart with frustration, but couldn’t refuse, at least in this matter, he was at a disadvantage.

Suddenly, everyone noticed the situation becoming more unpredictable; not only had they ceased fighting, Reina, Albert, and Azure Dragon all jointly landed on the floating platform in front of the Core Relics.

They activated the Ecological Shield, and air began to flow.

Asimara landed expressionlessly; the current situation was beyond her control.

Reina urged: "Hurry, open it, open it."

"It can’t be opened." Asimara shook her head, "The Quantum Shield on the surface of the core instrument is extremely difficult to decrypt, even with an Energy Hook, it would take at least five days to tear open an opening."

"Five days?" Reina frowned, "Everyone step back, watch me smash it open with one punch."

Asimara shook her head again: "If the Core Relics detect forced external entry, it will collapse immediately, which is an irreversible process."

Li Ming gestured towards the back.

Soon, Ulrich and others approached with various expressions; Li Ming temporarily ignored them, only pulling Benny forward.

Benny crouched on the ground, visibly frightened and anxious. Even when the Ascender Civilization was at its peak, S-Level life forms had the highest combat power and held a very high status.

"Open it." Li Ming spoke calmly, seeing the confusion of the others, he casually explained: "Ascender Remnant."

Asimara couldn’t help but look over; she had been searching for so long without any results.

"Ha..." Reina raised an eyebrow, "Impressive preparation."

Benny only trembled; Li Ming continued: "Using the Energy Hook, it would only take five days, but I don’t want to waste time. Considering everyone’s status present, if you don’t want to be wiped out, just open it."

Shaken, Benny’s face was filled with misery; he hesitated for a long time before slowly standing up, opened his mouth wide, and astonishingly, reached inside with an arm and pulled out a cone-shaped luminescent blue crystal.
