Chapter 619: Chapter 324 Professional Promotion [Mechanical Sovereign] It’s not about time? But even more terrifying!_2

"Bring it here, let me have a look." He reached out his hand, looking somewhat impatient on his calm face.

"You wasted so much time coming here. Just to take one look at this gun?" Dark Night seemed somewhat speechless, taking the gun case from his back and handing it over.

Ulysses’ eyes twinkled, having waited for a long time. He opened the case immediately, and the Star Slaying Gun was lying there calmly.

Where there was once a fracture, now lay smoothness, while his fingertips split open, extending a metallic device resembling a scanner.

It was evident that he too was a Mechanical Transformation.

The scanning device, glowing with fluorescents, swept across from where the fracture had been.

"Molecular scale normal, no cracks on the molecular layer..." as he spoke, Ulysses’ emotions became more excited, trembling even, "Material coefficients all normal, there’s not a tad difference from when it was intact."

Looking at Ulysses’ reaction, Dark Night was somewhat baffled, "Isn’t it good if it’s just like when it was intact?"

"No, no, no, you don’t understand," Ulysses waved his hand, vehemently excited,

"To repair an object that has been damaged, even with the most exquisite repair technology, it may look indistinguishable, but it will never truly be restored to its original state."

"Molecular scale, which is formed when the same material is cast as one, if you repair the damaged area, the molecular scale will inevitably..."

Mid-sentence, he noticed the blank look on Dark Night’s face, and Ulysses stopped, shaking his head: "You just need to know that it’s impossible for repairs to restore something to its original state, but Azure Dragon did it."

"Oh..." Dark Night still didn’t quite understand, explained: "I think I heard that Ulrich guy say, Azure Dragon focuses on restoring old things as they were."

"What a load of crap, restoring old things as they were!" Ulysses felt like he was talking to a wall, annoyed: "Azure Dragon has pulled back the temporal scale of the damaged area to before it was damaged, and mended the time discrepancy!"

Dark Night stared blankly for a moment, finally reacting with a sharp intake of breath: "Time Reversal within a small area?"

Only then did Ulysses snort coldly, picking up the Star Slaying Gun, and walking over to the console.

"Is it possible?" Dark Night couldn’t help asking: "Small-scale time reversal, isn’t that something that only a Divine Craftsman Level Mechanic can do?"

Ulysses scoffed, "That’s the Mechanic Association’s categorization. You really take it for a strict hierarchy?"

"I don’t believe the Star Abyss Empire doesn’t have mechanics of that level. Have you seen if they are certified?

Dark Night frowned, pondering, "But Azure Dragon doesn’t quite seem like a Divine Craftsman Level Mechanic..."

"I guess, that Ulrich initially didn’t think he was a Casting Star Mechanic either." Ulysses was fiddling with something, his hands empty, fingers facing each other.

A blue circle of Runes, intertwined with the glow, nested together, ultimately forming a flat rune mirror.

"You seem well-informed, are you suggesting Azure Dragon is still hiding something?" Dark Night mused.

"What is he like as a person?" Ulysses’ pupils dilated, lighting up with a purple flame like a turbine, looking through the rune-etched observation mirror for a deeper level of Detection.

"Very humble, and very polite, whether it was towards me or those Level E, Level F Life Forms, he made no distinction." Dark Night recalled:

"It doesn’t seem to be a deliberate act, but rather from the heart, he truly believes there’s no difference."

"He’s quite different from other Casting Star Mechanics I’ve come into contact with."

Ulysses wordlessly replied: "Aside from me, you haven’t met many others."

Dark Night still found it hard to believe: "If he is a Divine Craftsman Level Mechanic, that’s too bizarre. How could such a high-level mechanic just pop out of nowhere?"

"Casting Star Mechanics shouldn’t just appear out of thin air either, but he just did." Ulysses shook his head; if it were merely a Casting Star Level, it might not have attracted so much attention.

But a Casting Star Mechanic with an unknown background is provoking some deep reflection.

Dark Night wanted to speak again, but realized Ulysses had a look of drastic shock on his face, incredulously saying: "Huh, how is this possible?"

"What’s wrong?"

Ulysses murmured to himself: "Didn’t find any distortion in time scale, he can heal the time discrepancy, but it’s impossible to make the flow of time completely consistent..."

"This sort of discrepancy in the flow of time should gradually mend as overall time continues, this scale should be calculated in tens of years."

"Unless, what he used wasn’t time." Dark Night spread his hands, "Divine Craftsman Level Mechanic, you’re speaking too frighteningly."

"Hah..." Ulysses glanced at him, sneered, and said, "I’m holding this weapon that was broken just over a month ago, yet I can’t find any trace or means of repair on it."

"Do you know how terrifying that is for a Casting Star Mechanic?"

Dark Night blinked, pretending not to be so clueless.

"I’d rather he used time technology," Ulysses took a deep breath, his eyes flickering, "What on earth is he trying to do?"

Finally catching the keyword, Dark Night cleared his throat and said, "It seems he wants to create a force and deal in arms and such."

"Creating a force?" Ulysses was not surprised, seemingly already aware of this news. He looked at Dark Night like he was an idiot: "You believe that?"

"Do you think that Azure Dragon, being a loner, would suddenly decide to create a force?"

"Uh..." Dark Night hesitated, also feeling that it was far-fetched: "Actually, I think he’s fishing. He let that student, the guy with Level Forty-Six development potential, swagger around here."

"It all feels rather unusual."

"Fishing?" Ulysses tossed the Star Slaying Gun back, pondering, "Who does he want to fish for, or rather, how big of a fish is he aiming for?"

Both men fell into deep thought. It wasn’t strange for them to overthink; with Azure Dragon’s current display of cunning, he surely calculated three moves ahead.

And Ulysses knew more and was more wary.

Unable to figure it out, Dark Night shook his head, "However, he’s a bit too confident. With Li Ming’s high development potential, if something really goes wrong, it’ll be a huge loss."

Ulysses neither agreed nor disagreed, "You still have the mood to worry about others. Gabriel’s death has not been blamed on Azure Dragon, but you can’t escape responsibility for the assassination of Duke Guya."

Upon hearing this, Dark Night smiled faintly, "I’m alone; let them come. But what about you? What are you trying to do?"

"Sending me to assassinate Satoru isn’t just about revenge, right?"

Ulysses remained silent.

...

"Hiss--" Sandro clutched his stomach and lay on the chair, grimacing in pain: "Why does it feel so painful? That kid’s punch was too ruthless."

He had been out for quite a while, but the pain in his abdomen hadn’t lessened and seemed even more intense, suggesting that some organs might have been damaged, judging by his recovery speed.

"You’re lucky you weren’t beaten to death," Monroe said indifferently.

"Beaten to death? Surely not," Sandro couldn’t help but retort, "It’s already unimaginable that he could send me flying."

"He held back at the last moment," Monroe said thoughtfully.

The others fell silent and looked over.

"He, he held back?" Sandro almost bit his own tongue.

Ulrich’s eyes narrowed slightly, and he gave a faint smile. The gamble of a desperate bid was still on the rise.

"Such a monster..." Sandro was astonished, "He’s stronger than me just after becoming an A-level life form."

"But even holding back, he wouldn’t have killed me, right? There’s a difference between being painful and being dead," he argued.

Unable to hold back, Ulrich blurted out, "Idiot, that’s just a figure of speech. Why are you obsessing over this?"

Just as Sandro was about to retort, everyone heard the door open, and Li Ming walked out from the room.

"Gentlemen, so soon?" He raised an eyebrow, looking at the others who were ready to go.

Ulrich smiled, "There wasn’t much to prepare."

Their attitudes had slightly changed after witnessing the scene of Sandro being sent flying, and after Monroe’s comment, they became more polite.

Li Ming shrugged, "Then let’s go."

Their spaceship had been refueled some time ago. The planet they were to visit was located in a rather remote area of the Chaotic Star Gap, far from the main transit nodes.

But within the Chaotic Star Gap, there were countless small-scale Star Gate Hubs as well as large transit nodes.
