Chapter 630 - 330 Guard Upgrade Initial Base Formation

Chapter 630: Chapter 330 Guard Upgrade Initial Base Formation

His main combat capability is currently based on a power system centered around [Talos’ Heart].

The empowerment from Controlled Objects is based on his own strength, but his current base level is not high, it’s merely gilding the lily.

In the current situation with scarce metal energy, upgrading the Mechanical Guard is a better choice.

Multiple times of empowerment is not as good as achieving an S-level combat force first, but the enhancement of Controlled Objects also comes with special abilities.

However, the Guard also has [Guardian Armament], which can assist in combat, indirectly improving frontal combat capabilities.

It offers a higher cost-performance ratio. When metal energy is plentiful, enhance the relevant Controlled Objects then.

Without hesitation, Li Ming dug out two Mechanical Guards, Thunder and Taipo, that he had previously put away.

"Taipo specializes in defense, since Tank Guard is inherently proficient in defense, and Thunder specializes in offensive, let’s upgrade Thunder for now." He temporarily put Taipo away.

Thunder is only half the height of a man, slender and slim, its streamlined alloy body exuding mechanical aesthetics, and the room’s lighting, falling on its mechanical body, reflects glints of light.

No one knows how strong a power can burst forth from that seemingly frail mechanical body.

Li Ming is well-practiced in this process. A vast amount of metal energy gushes out, enveloping Thunder, and amid the golden electromagnetic light, its mechanical structure begins to transform again, this time more intensely, turning into a mass of ion cloud, emitting severe clanging noises.

It wasn’t long before the noise completely subsided. Thunder had greatly changed; it finally grew taller, about eye level with Li Ming.

The limbs remained sleek, the surface structure armor more complex, turned into blue and gold color; apart from the color and facial features, there was virtually no difference from a normal human form, its mechanical electronic eyes displayed in dual ring serrated form, quite peculiar.

The energy engine in its chest accounted for a larger proportion, radiating splendid colors like a turbine.

A-level is a threshold, for normal life forms, it signifies initial contact with the mysteries of the universe.

For a Mechanical Body, however, it becomes even more intelligent, whether it’s energy application methods or combat methods also becoming more powerful.

"Master..." Thunder seemed to be adapting to its new body, and only after a long while did it speak.

An A-level Mechanical Body, and one of the top-tier ones, could burst with an energy level possibly comparable to peak Monroe, the sense of security was even greater.

Li Ming showed a relieved smile, seizing the moment, he then took out a pair of mechanical iron arms he had prepared beforehand.

Consuming ten million metal energy to upgrade it to A-level, still the handy and useful [Earth-shattering Giant Fist], with twenty-eight times power amplification.

Once again filling the main combat power system to the brim, the total has already exceeded one hundred and fifty times.

The power amplifications that could be utilized are close to ninety times, strength once again increased slightly.

Li Ning was immersed in it, each alteration bringing him some improvement, blissfully unaware, and thus seven or eight hours passed.

Ullrich and others had been waiting outside constantly, chatting sporadically, until the cabin door opened, they all looked over together.

In Li Ming’s hand hovered the intact Material Reorganization Machine, each side spinning.

"Fixed it?" Ulrich’s brow twitched, once upon a time, this was the scene he had longed for day and night.

To think he had prepared various precious raw materials initially, it turns out ordinary materials could fix it.

Remembering some unpleasant memories, Ulrich felt like his heart was bleeding, but then consoled himself by pretending to consider it as investing in stocks.

Then, his gaze suddenly hardened, spotting a Mechanical Body following behind Li Ming.

"That Mechanical Body feels so familiar..." Sandro observed.

More than familiar, Ulrich recalled more, about the first time he encountered Azure Dragon.

There were two Mechanical Bodies, one tall one short, next to him, the shorter one was also blue.

Initially, they were only C-level Mechanical Body in strength, but were able to burst forth the combat power of a B-level Mechanical Body.

Later on, in the Torch Organization, he saw again, one tall one short, two Mechanical Bodies of roughly the same color, but with much changed forms.

Similarly possessing the strength of B-level Mechanical Bodies, but they could burst forth the combat power of an A-level Mechanical Body, which had amazed them back then.

And now, this blue Mechanical Body had upgraded again?

This couldn’t be an A-level Mechanical Body, could it... Ulrich’s throat rolled, unable to restrain his curiosity.

"Sandro, go check it out, this isn’t the one you pinched last time," Ulrich said.

Sandro, also puzzled, meant to go forward on hearing this, but his steps faltered, his expression darkened, "Ulrich, every time you call me, it’s never good, if you want to check, go check yourself."

Ulrich looked surprised; did this fool finally catch on?

"This is for self-defense as provided by the teacher." Li Ming proactively explained, "It’s an A-level Mechanical Body."

An A-level Mechanical Body, everyone’s expressions turned solemn, the atmosphere quiet, they exchanged glances, eyes faintly shaking.

They all thought back to that battle in the Torch Organization.

An A-level Mechanical Body, could it possibly burst with the combat power of an S-level Mechanical Body?

Such conjecture would sound like a wild and fanciful tale to anyone, as life forms at lower life levels might possibly fight beyond their tier.

But the combat abilities of a Mechanical Body are designed at creation: the load efficiency of the energy pipelines, the strength of the metal armor, they all dictate that their combat power and their theoretical data will have no discrepancies.

But Azure Dragon was different; they had personally witnessed two Mechanical Bodies fighting beyond their energy level tiers.
