This is really not mechanical ascension

Chapter 869: Chapter 449: There’s Someone Inside!_2

Eternal Abyss!

A terrifying energy storm rushed forward.

Immediately, the metal shell of the Tank Guard began to dissolve. Li Ming had already fortified its defenses, combined with the inherent hardness of the Tank Guard, the defensive capabilities nearly doubled.

Adding in the Tank Guard’s own powers, this already reduced the energy intensity by 40%, but it could only slow down the process of collapse.

This was a most primal destruction, annihilating down to the particle level.

"How could it be this fierce..." Li Ming felt a tightness in his heart.

Even more outrageous was that this violent energy was actually tightly restrained within a ten-meter range by those black symbols.

The spatial lock was breached instantly, but the time lock still existed, apparently relying on the black symbols for its presence.

Beyond the range, those mechanical bodies floating in the universe hadn’t even been affected.

...

Almost simultaneously, standing in front of the core base, Anduin glanced back at Barbaro: "Did you feel it too?"

"I vaguely have a feeling, what’s going on?" Barbaro asked hesitantly.

"I’m not sure either..." Anduin frowned, his pupils filled with symbols rising and falling like the sea.

Barbaro was somewhat suspicious: "You’re not sure? Aren’t your eyes reputed to see into another star system?"

"I see a strange area, but can’t make out the specifics, and it’s not too far from here. Should we take a look?" Anduin suggested.

"You’re not stalling for time on purpose, are you?" Barbaro looked back at the core base.

Anduin replied wordlessly: "Azure Dragon and I don’t have any dealings. Would I go this far? The outbreak point is nearby, and it might be related to Azure Dragon."

"Then let’s go take a look." Barbaro muttered to himself, thinking there would be no harm in it.

Anduin raised his hand, weaving blue symbols, already constructing a teleportation channel.

The two stepped in one after the other, then stumbled as they were tossed out of another distorted portal.

"Anduin, you did that on purpose, right? How can you make a mistake constructing a teleportation channel?" Barbaro spoke with a darkened face, his hair curled, though he wasn’t hurt by the spatial storm, it still vexed him.

"It wasn’t me..." Anduin replied gravely, his gaze fixed on the black and red light sphere not far away.

"Hmm?" Barbaro noticed it too.

"It seems to be Azure Dragon’s base..." Anduin looked around, spotting shattered instruments and a number of wandering mechanical bodies.

"This appears to be a space-time lock?" Barbaro said apprehensively, sensing the almost stagnant space-time within the black light sphere.

"It’s more than just a space-time lock..." Barbaro’s expression grew increasingly grave, as he stretched his hands in front, a large number of purple lines danced, then outlined a six-pointed star which he pressed in front of his eyes.

"This is... a space-time isolation matrix!" Anduin’s spiritual fluctuation was unstable, seemingly extremely astonished.

"An area-type space-time lock won’t isolate the transmission medium. This is based on a space-time lock, with an additional special method, temporarily detaching this space from the physical universe."

"What does that mean?" Barbaro couldn’t understand the lengthy explanation.

"It means, although we see it here, in actuality, this space is not in the universe." Anduin replied with a grave expression, glancing sideways at Barbaro, emitting an exclamatory spiritual fluctuation: "The level of Azure Dragon’s time-space expertise can reach such heights..."

"What the hell?" Barbaro frowned at Anduin’s admiration for Azure Dragon, feeling somewhat disconcerted, "I can see it right here. How can you say it’s not in this universe?"

"This is all nonsense. I want to see what exactly is going on!"

Barbaro, with a sullen face, flew towards the black-red sphere, hesitated slightly, then reached out his palm to touch the edge of the sphere. The black symbols undulated like ripples, seeming to possess no destructive force.

This made Barbaro secretly relieved, knowing that the Divine Craftsman could devise many strange and peculiar methods.

Some might sound formidable but in actuality, didn’t enhance combat strength, just like those mechanical bodies under Azure Dragon, though unbreakable, but a single blow could shatter them, why bother to crack them?

Anduin did not remind, just watched intently.

"This space-time matrix doesn’t seem to be anything..." Spiritual fluctuation was transmitted, as Barbaro tried to extend his hand in, still having no sensation, then extending further, he still couldn’t feel anything, nor did he touch anything.

"It can actually penetrate one way..." Anduin’s heart was amazed.

"What kind of space-time matrix is this, it seems just like this..." Barbaro’s spiritual fluctuation came, as he turned to look at Anduin,

"We are the Evolved Body, this kind of scientific technology should be handed over to specialists to do, no matter how advanced this technology is, it’s not as good as developing more..."

As Barbaro spoke, he finally withdrew his hand. Anduin, who initially didn’t want to care, suddenly narrowed his pupils, "Barbaro, your hand..."

"My hand?" Barbaro instinctively wanted to raise his hand, his heart suddenly skipped a beat, his face changed drastically. Only then did he realize, his arm is actually gone!

"This..." his eyes trembled, from shoulder to two-thirds above the elbow, it was completely cut off, with smooth cut, flesh, bones clearly visible.

It was precisely the part that just entered what was called the space-time matrix, yet he himself had no sensation, not even any blood flowed.

He abruptly turned around, flew back, looking at the black-red light sphere behind him with concealed fear in his eyes, all hairs stood on end, spiritual fluctuation was even more uneasy, "What on earth is this ghost gadget?"

Anduin looked serious, "This thing seems to isolate an energy explosion zone, what exactly is Azure Dragon doing?"

Witnessing what happened to Barbaro, he did not have any fear, instead flew up, the pendant hanging around his neck flew out, like a cross pendant, radiating golden light.

A large mass of symbols danced, six golden arms grew behind Anduin, the surrounding Starfield glittered, energy particles surged like tides.

Matrix patterns gradually manifested and formed in the void, initially, intertwining orderly, slowly building into a neat cube.

This cube emitted strange light, every edge, every face was precise and perfect.

Then it embedded accurately onto the cross shining with brilliant gold, the two perfectly fused, abruptly shooting out a beam that landed on the surface of the black light sphere.

Barbaro’s face twitched violently, instinctively wanted to move away, yet no unexpected collision occurred.

Instead with an extremely gentle power, it slowly integrated into the continuously surging black light shield, black symbols were mixed with golden symbols.

"Phew..." Anduin slowly exhaled, "Fortunately, this space-time matrix model isn’t too complex, I used the ’Holy Cross’ to feel the boundary."

What do you mean? Barbaro instinctively wanted to ask, but held back.

"Now we can see what Azure Dragon is really doing." Anduin raised his hand, runes intertwined, actually sketching out an unstable scene.

A scene of intertwining crimson and black, like the initial cosmic explosion, the scene of various substances intertwining.

"Can’t see anything clearly..." Barbaro came closer, feeling panicked, not daring to get too close.

Until this moment, he still felt faintly fearful, if he had put his whole self in, would he already be gone?

"Seems to have calmed?" Anduin quickly identified the anomaly, energy fluctuations settled at extremely rapid speeds, "The energy response should be at the final stage."

"Final stage?" Barbaro was stunned, "You mean, just now wasn’t the strongest?"

His face changed variedly, if this thing was indeed Azure Dragon’s doing, then what’s the point in fighting, the arm was gone, yet there’s no feeling of it.

"Wait... this..." As energy calmed, Anduin’s expression changed suddenly, full of astonishment, "There’s someone inside!"

"Someone?" The pondering Barbaro was startled, instinctively looked up.

In the boiling crimson light, a golden silhouette’s outline was faintly visible, with clear boundaries.

The terrifying energy that could annihilate his arm silently and invisibly, in front of it, couldn’t break through that layer of golden barrier.

"Really someone?" Barbaro was incredulous, greatly shocked.

To disintegrate his arm silently and invisibly, the upper limit of energy intensity, almost impossible to estimate.

And in the core area, this guy could actually not be affected in any way, to what level has his body strength reached?
