Chapter 636: Chapter 333 Hammer Divine Craftsman Infinite Hammer

Blackbeard... Since their parting at the Red River Star Stream, he had never seen the other party again, merely exchanging some information via the network occasionally.

As for the organization behind the other party, let alone their core plans, those were never mentioned again.

While contemplating, his figure began to transform and soon became Azure Dragon, initiating communication links.

A response came quickly, a virtual screen unfolded before him, Blackbeard still twirling his beard, smiling all the while.

"I didn’t expect you to still remember me," Li Ming said lightly, expressing his displeasure. The last time they met, the conversation started with splitting the Star Abyss Empire.

Then there was silence, without any introductions to others or even allowing him to join group chats.

"What do you mean by this, Lord Azure Dragon?" Blackbeard asked in surprise.

Li Ming replied indifferently: "Do I still need to undergo some test before being accepted?"

Blackbeard coughed, "Misunderstanding, our organization is inherently loose, which is also to retain more strength when discovered."

"Really? I’ve been waiting for your grand plan," Li Ming said noncommittally.

"Plans don’t move that quickly..." Blackbeard shook his head, explaining: "Personnel mobilization, arrangements, and various planning, previously at Red River Star Stream, it already alerted many people, Lord, be patient."

Li Ming was expressionless; he knew this rationale all too well, each of the past plans involved arrangements that spanned years.

The incident at the Red River Star Stream had only concluded after a large battle, it wasn’t quickly followed up by another step, but the right attitude was still necessary.

Blackbeard felt helpless, inside their organization there was indeed suspicion towards Azure Dragon, mainly because his origins were completely untraceable, and there were hardly a few places that could hide a mechanic of his level.

"Actually, I have my difficulties too," Blackbeard tried tentatively, smiling bitterly: "Your mysterious background makes some friends uneasy, if you could reveal a bit..."

"I remember, initially, it was you who invited me to join, how come you distrust now?" Li Ming retorted: "Besides, do you all know each other that well?"

Blackbeard was taken aback, then shook his head: "Forget it, you’re right, just some groundless talks."

After a few exchanges, he finally got to the point, Blackbeard said solemnly: "Do you know about Hammer Divine Craftsman?"

"Hel?" Li Ming’s eyes flashed, "Hammer Divine Craftsman Hel, one of the founding leaders of the Mechanic Association, but seems to have been missing for a long time."

"Exactly." Blackbeard nodded, "Hammer Divine Craftsman once ventured deep into the Dimension World seeking rare materials, but never returned, alongside his Infinite Hammer, causing many mechanics grief."

"Recently, we obtained some clues, his disappearance might be related to the Star Abyss Empire."

"Is that so..." Li Ming stroked his chin, the Hammer Divine Craftsman had an extraordinary reputation, highly esteemed within the Mechanic community.

Higher esteemed than the other two Divine Craftsmen, he committed much for the mechanics’ benefits.

He was the first to clearly define the levels of mechanics, benefiting many.

If it can be confirmed that his disappearance is related to the Star Abyss Empire, the fury of the mechanics community would be sufficient to further undermine its fate.

"Really or not?" Li Ming suddenly asked.

Blackbeard shook his head, "Real or fake, what does it matter?"

"This matter needs truly influential people to reveal, we have already contacted two Casting Star Mechanics, including you."

Li Ming pondered, "Three Casting Star Mechanics from within the Mechanic Association should be enough, but such a big matter without a Divine Craftsman’s support..."

"Divine Craftsman’s support is from top to bottom. But it can also start from the bottom up, compelling the Divine Craftsmen," Blackbeard shook his head, "Our aim is not to make the Mechanic Association outright hostile towards the Star Abyss Empire, even to attack, having this matter is enough."

All streams flow into the sea, accumulating events until the moment they erupt, devastating all.

"Specific plan..." Li Ming asked.

Blackbeard immediately said: "This matter is divided into three steps..."

"It’s natural, I will take care of the student Li Ming’s business," he replied.

Blackbeard ended the communication with a smile, pulling up a file, staring at it for a long time, "Such small business... What exactly does he want to accomplish?"

Blackbeard couldn’t understand, was Li Ming playing house? Was Azure Dragon still going along with it?

...

"Hammer Divine Craftsman, Infinite Hammer..." Li Ming looked at the photo on the screen, Hel was a giant, four meters tall, with reddish skin and white beard.

The hammer in his hand was purplish-black, like the starfield. If an S-level weapon, a Casting Star Device, can be called an interstellar treasure.

Then this hammer was a Cosmic Treasure, encompassing both destructive and assistive powers, said to change the nature of objects with a single strike, even breaking through space, providing interstellar travel.

Blackbeard’s plan was divided into three steps: rumor brewing, universe’s attention, and truth revelation; the first two steps did not require their intervention, only this last step required them to deeply enter the Dimension World to discover the "truth."

Of course, there were various details, which Blackbeard did not explain much.

Plans always encounter various emergencies in their implementation, necessitating constant adjustments and situational actions.

Li Ming took this opportunity to request the other party to take care of the student Li Ming’s business.

In this period, the news was already out, Azure Dragon was setting flags in the Chaotic Star Gap.

Though officially the owner of the base was Li Ming, no one would mind this little guy.

Especially arms dealers, they were even more alarmed, as a Casting Star Mechanic’s reputation and authority in relevant aspects were not comparable to ordinary people.
