Chapter 605: Chapter 317: Azure Dragon’s Method is Time Reversal? _2

And on a deeper level, they will not cease their pursuit of the Azure Dragon.

But now, the Azure Dragon has vanished and will reappear as Li Ming, a seemingly elusive target.

With the Azure Dragon himself untraceable, everyone hesitates to take action.

However, one can only delay for so long and not for a lifetime; there is a need to enhance one’s strength promptly, Li Ming mused in secret.

After gaining a bit of insight into the current situation, he turned off the smart terminal and continued developing the Genetic Seed.

As the external situation fermented, it took them more than ten leisurely days to finally leave the Red River Star Stream.

Shortly after they left, in a desolate Star Domain within the Red River Star Stream adorned with starlight.

It seemed a fierce battle had taken place here; the area was in disarray, and energy particles had not yet completely dissipated. Under the special magnetic field of the Red River Star Stream, it formed various magnificent scenes.

Everywhere lay the wreckage and ruins of warships, while small salvage spacecraft roamed around, performing high compression and packaging.

Even the debris held value.

In the center of the battlefield, on a folded platform, the Double-tailed Scorpion Guard stood around, their energy rifles aimed at the center, with hands behind their back paced Asimara back and forth.

On the ground knelt a figure, hair dishevelled, combat armor all twisted; it was the Commander of the Judger Fleet — Antonio.

His complexion grim, he coldly watched Asimara: "Do you wish to ignite the war?"

"The war has already been ignited by you," Asimara scoffed, as Prince Bai Jiang stood on one side, and Feder was surprisingly holding a portable recording device.

"Creating the Star Stream Dark Tide, causing heavy casualties to the United Fleet, this account, I must certainly settle!" Asimara stretched out his hand, and a mechanical long sword was immediately handed to him by a Double-tailed Scorpion soldier.

Accompanied by a buzzing sound, the metal blade gradually turned crimson red.

"On behalf of the soldiers of the United Fleet who died or were injured, on behalf of the Yitelan Civilization, I will behead you!" Asimara took a determined step forward.

Swoosh! The blade fell, blood gushed out.

Antonio’s head rolled on the ground, the robust life force of a Level A life form kept him still conscious.

"Hehe..." he sneered coldly, showing no fear, only to say, "Asimara, you will reap what you sow, once the war starts, it’s not something that can be stopped by mere words."

Feder stepped forward, picked up Antonio’s head from the ground, placed it into a metal box, and cold air sprayed out, soon leading to complete death.

"Stop?" Asimara’s meaning was cryptic, and Prince Bai Jiang sighed.

Beheading a high-ranking general, the Judger Civilization would certainly not swallow this provocation; whether proactive or reactive, they would definitely retaliate.

Unfortunately, this does not align with the interests of the Yitelan Civilization, but in the war, Asimara might receive more support from Duke Bloodthorn.

Tied to Asimara, there was no helping it.

"What I want is war!" Asimara’s gaze was ice-cold, seemingly already envisioning the sweeping blaze of war across the starry sky.

...

In the pitch-black palace standing in the middle of the Starfield, near two rows of Iron Thrones, this time more beams of light rose, at least a third of the Iron Thrones displayed one after another ephemeral scenes.

"Blackbeard..." a voice came unsure from which Iron Throne, "How come this plan is entirely different from what we estimated?"

The answering voice also came from an indistinct location, carrying a bit of nonchalance, "Plans are just plans, reality is reality, the ultimate outcome is no different, and in fact, it has sped up quite a bit."

"Asimara no longer has a way back, according to the latest news, he has beheaded Antonio."

The voice fell, and the palace briefly fell silent; it was only after a moment that someone spoke again.

"Beheading...that leaves no room for compromise, she desires to cultivate a blood thorn from within the war."

A voice quite chilly said: "Though we end up at the same conclusion, this Azure Dragon’s emergence brought many more variables, and you did not get our approval before letting him join on his own."

This will make us be discovered quicker.

Blackbeard said in a heavy tone, "There’s no time for a meeting now, you’ve all seen the combat video, he definitely qualifies, and his methods aren’t bad. Don’t we need such a person?"

Some even sneered, "Being suppressed by Albert and Reina makes him qualified? He’s just a metal shell at most."

"There are a thousand ways to kill him before he can even suit up in his Mecha."

Blackbeard also laughed, "The thing is, he’s a Casting Star Mechanic. If you could withstand an attack by two S-level life forms while still a B-level life form without dying, I’d give you a thumbs up."

"Hmph..." Someone sneered, "Casting Star Mechanic, it’s not like we are short of them, are you dissatisfied with Sir Ulysses?"

"Beast Venerable," a new voice arose, seemingly Ulysses himself, who spoke evenly, "I have no objections to Azure Dragon joining."

"Really?" The tone of Beast Venerable was inexplicable, "I saw him repair that gun of Dark Night, his skill was indeed not bad, how does it compare to you?"

The dark palace was slightly silent, throughout the whole combat process, everything else was fine, the development progress of Albert and Reina wasn’t too high.

The Mecha could withstand the attack of both, which was not surprising to them.

What was most surprising to them was that Azure Dragon repaired the Star Slaying Gun of Dark Night on the spot.

They all understood how difficult that was.

"Only fools would continually make comparisons." Ulysses spoke coldly first, then admitted, "His methods are indeed not bad."

"What exactly are the methods, can you see?" Before Beast Venerable could speak, someone already asked.

"It’s hard to speculate through a screen, but, it seems like there’s only one method that could achieve such an effect," Ulysses hesitantly said, not keeping them in suspense, immediately revealing, "Time Reversal."

"Time!?"

In the dark palace, another long silence, truly shaking them.

After all, time is one of the ultimate mysteries of the universe, involving foundational rules, more dangerous than space itself.

"The raw material for making the Star Slaying Gun is quite robust, doesn’t this trigger a time distortion?" Someone who understood asked.

Attempting to change anything with time would be resisted by the universe. The higher the level, the stronger the resistance; the destructiveness of a time distortion, more terrifying than a black hole, erases everything within its range.

Ulysses responded, "I was pondering this problem too, but I couldn’t think of another explanation. Dark Night should be returning soon, I’ll go find him and inspect the gun under the pretext of repair, if no traces of manual repairs can be found, it could then be confirmed."

"But no matter what, he must have paid an extraordinary price; everything is conserved."

The palace did not respond, Beast Venerable also remained silent; even though some were dissatisfied with Blackbeard’s invitation, under the statement "Time Reversal," they couldn’t help but hesitate.

"If he really has such a skill, I have no objections," someone said.

"Be it time or space, isn’t he just a B-level life form?" Beast Venerable still stubbornly maintained his attitude, indifferently said:

"Blackbeard, isn’t he here to pick an A-level Genetic Seed from the Chaotic Star Gap? Remember to remind him, be careful of being beheaded."

"Don’t worry, he’s more careful than us; he won’t personally come to the Chaotic Star Gap; it will be his student, Li Ming, who will come instead."

"His student..."

The palace fell silent again, Blackbeard, seeing this, laughed: "Why the silence again, remembering this student with level forty-six development potential?"

"The reason I invited him also includes this Li Ming, tsk tsk... determined X-level, standing at the top of the interstellar... "

"He should be of great help to our plan."

Unable to hold back, Beast Venerable spoke again: "A true powerhouse is someone who grows into one, what does level forty-six development potential matter? It might take centuries to reach that stage, moreover, corresponding Genetic Seeds are required."

"This Li Ming, isn’t he afraid of being beheaded?"
