This is really not mechanical ascension

Chapter 846: Chapter 438: Unrestrained Grace of This Hammer

A methodical voice sounded, the probe at the end of the mechanical arm approached Li Ming’s body, while Celia, dressed in Combat Mecha, stood silently not far away.

Her duty was to prevent any potential destruction caused by Li Ming awakening from the stimulation.

"Prepare for stimulation awakening..." The chief researcher took a deep breath, unable to resist stepping back.

For them, even with the gene inhibitor installed, the physical enhancement brought by the Life Level was still terrifying.

They were merely researchers, the strongest among them being A Level life form, utterly incapable of withstanding it.

Celia moved forward, with a faint sense of anticipation, pondering to herself, "With such high Development Potential, I wonder what it means for actual combat ability..."

"Hmm?"

Just as she was contemplating, her eyes suddenly squinted, and her heart skipped a beat, almost without warning, Li Ming’s body disappeared from the experiment table.

"This..."

The next moment, her heart contracted, as if suddenly gripped by someone’s hand, causing all her hairs to stand on end, like being watched by a Life Form at the top of the food chain, an unprecedented sense of dread engulfing her.

There was hardly time for any reaction, her vision going dark, no... more accurately purple, a deep purple... so dark it was almost black.

It vaguely resembled a hammer, approaching head-on, with an imposing force capable of easily smashing a planet, such a violent power, yet contained within a small hammer.

"This is... the weapon of the Azure Dragon?"

This was Celia’s last thought, feeling no pain, just darkness before her eyes.

Boom!

Her entire head exploded without warning, along with half of her body and the Combat Armor on her body.

In the process of battling those abnormal Abyss Clan, Li Ming’s control over power had reached its peak, difficult to control when possessing the Tank Guard, but now fighting in his true form.

All the power was unleashed upon Celia, almost without any spillage.

Yet the splintered armor fragments still penetrated through several researchers’ bodies and embedded deeply into the metal walls, with the materials used being extremely sturdy.

It wasn’t until this moment that the surrounding experimental personnel were awakened with a roar, their eyes filled with fear, bodies trembling, instinctively about to scream.

However, they found that their bodies seemed nailed to the spot, incapable of any movement.

[Power Locking Field—A Level

Control Ability—Power Locking: Restrains all life forms below A Level, and greatly restricts A Level life form.]

The chief researcher’s expression was of fear as he looked at Li Ming, being the only A Level life form, he was already being choked by Li Ming at this moment.

Boom!

The dangling lower half of Celia’s body smashed onto the floor, making a dull thud.

The chief researcher was incredulous, unable to understand how Celia, who had over 60% Development Progress, could be instantly killed by Li Ming?

Li Ming’s eyes were cold, with a slight movement of his fingers, the chief researcher exploded into fragments.

He glanced at the cameras in the corner, the entire nest remained calm, without any alarms.

[Three-dimensional Mimicry Interferer—A Level

Control Ability—Three-dimensional Mimicry: Mimics the surrounding scene and inputs it into detection and surveillance devices.]

With a shiver, a large number of Mechanical Bodies walked out, each approaching the researchers present, and then Li Ming took out the Vermilion Bird Split Body.

Under the control of the Vermilion Bird, all the pupils of the Mechanical Bodies emitted blue light, scanning the researchers from head to toe and began recording their external features.

Soon, the experimental personnel were horrified to see the Mechanical Bodies before them change rapidly, turning into almost identical appearances to theirs, like looking into a mirror.

Their hearts burst with fear, their eyes trembled, and then they lost consciousness.

Only two or three experimental personnel were left, and Li Ming took out the [Memory Search Device], placing it on their heads to gather general information.

The mimicked Mechanical Bodies quickly cleaned up the scene, using experimental solvents on site to quickly dissolve everything, returning to its original state, both Li Ming and Celia on the experiment table were intact.

At least nothing seemed out of place when viewed through the screen.

"It should be able to fool for a while." Li Ming mumbled, his body noiselessly disappearing from the laboratory.

Outside the laboratory was very spacious, he had already mimicked into an experimental personnel, holding a light blue card, passing through several closed doors.

[Advanced Authority Magnetic Lock Card—A Level

Control Ability—Universal Authority: Materialize magnetic lock card that can pass most authority verifications.]

He was contemplating the memories he had just searched, "This nest is nearly isolated from the outside, with a long interval between external material exchanges, the Conservatives are not faring well."

Following the information, he turned left and right in the nest, without any alarms, he could come and go freely with his Controlled Objects.

"The core of the nest should be up ahead..." Li Ming stopped at a corner, looking at the dark metal door not far away, engraved with strange patterns.

A black horned humanoid Life Form, naked upper body, with a lush tree behind it.

"I don’t know the exact strength of that Swearer, but this is the new heir, and they’ve inherited the power for less than five hundred years, shouldn’t be too strong, attacking first is definitely the safest..." Li Ming contemplated.

Behind the black door, the Swearer looked pleased, having removed the black veil, their slender limbs only wrapped with a few pieces of black cloth, making their skin appear even more delicate, sitting on a tree-shaped throne, overlooking below.
