This is really not mechanical ascension-Chapter 1372 - 699: Clash

The Abyss Lord was very calm, even such words that seemed almost contemptuous sounded perfectly natural.

I allow you to submit to me, which is already a great favor.

And upon hearing this, Li Ming’s hollow Mecha also emitted spiritual fluctuations, "Like Tanwus did before?"

"You are different from him." The Abyss Lord seemed very patient, with energy radiating around him, "I allow you to retain your self-awareness."

Tsk... this is the value of united front, Li Ming thought deeply, Tanwus is just a tool, suppressing self-will and following orders.

But he is already capable of threatening the Eternal Abyss, so the price paid is naturally different.

However, this guy is still quite cautious, and even now, he hasn’t chosen to act immediately.

"Sharing the Eternal Abyss together?" Li Ming asked tentatively.

This question directly silenced the Abyss Lord, and his wings fluttered like water ripples, only responding after a moment: "Are you serious?"

"Forget it if you’re unwilling." Li Ming said rather disappointed.

"You seem very confident. Did you learn something about me from Tanwus when you turned him? What did he tell you?" The Abyss Lord seemed unconcerned about Tanwus’s betrayal but was obviously quite interested.

In their short conversations, this matter has already been mentioned several times.

"Turn? You misunderstood, I didn’t turn him." Li Ming shook his head and answered honestly.

"There is no need to cover it up for him anymore." The Abyss Lord shook his head, seemingly certain about this, "If you didn’t turn him, why would he help you?"

"Hmm... maybe because he saw some hope in me?" Li Ming recalled past events.

Even though the Abyss Lord had no features, Li Ming could still feel the tangible gaze becoming more concentrated, and the word "hope" seemed to have stimulated him.

Consequently, the Abyss Lord’s wings trembled violently, terrifying energy boiled instantly, and Li Ming only saw a white light blade raining down, almost covering the entire view with no edge in sight.

The Abyss Lord abandoned the "reconciliation."

The attack came almost in an instant, and the Red Gauze Crown Wall of the Tank Guard had already formed. Though the light stream was vast, the drawback of a wide-range attack is severely insufficient power.

The light blades hit the red crown wall, sending dazzling sparks flying incessantly.

A broken planet in the distance was struck by a stray light blade, causing the surface of the star to explode with a flare, as a searing plasma flow cut the star like a reaper’s scythe.

And this wide-range attack was just the prelude, almost simultaneously, a figure rushed out of the blazing white light stream before him.

The Abyss Lord’s left wing swept down with a shattered void, smashing onto the Red Gauze Crown Wall, releasing an immediate burst of power, and causing cracks to appear on the red energy barrier.

Even with only 30% of the weakening power, it still carried formidable destructive force, forcibly blasting Li Ming away, crashing through layer after layer of void along the way.

Barely stabilizing himself, Li Ming couldn’t help but be surprised; the surface of the Tank Guard’s mech already had some dents.

Even with his own Defense Buff and the inherent strength of the Tank Guard, it still inflicted damage, causing cracks in the Red Gauze Crown Wall.

"Probably... the energy level must be over 500J, possibly 600J..." Li Ming could only roughly estimate, feeling quite startled.

It’s lucky he was well-prepared, and the development progress drastically surged on the way, otherwise he wouldn’t really be able to fight.

With a slight mental shift, the Mecha began to repair, thanks to the Possession ability, the two are one, and the power of the Eternal Holy Seat can affect the Tank Guard.

That bit of damage only wasted two billion metal energy, while the red energy barrier’s exterior continued to repair.

Indeed, the energy barrier on his body’s surface was capable of regenerating, requiring only three billion metal energy.

After all, this is merely the power of Diglas’s Crown, not Diglas itself.

"Not much damage?"

Even more astonished was the Abyss Lord, focusing on the seemingly unimpressive mech, as he evaluated, under such a hit, the opponent should at least be heavily injured if not finished.

Though some damage was indeed caused, it was quickly repaired entirely.

The Mecha he wears seems very special, flowing with an extremely vigorous life energy, healing scars, but how can life energy affect metal materials?

And the scarlet barrier, vaguely familiar, though he couldn’t identify the presence of the crown.

The Abyss Lord was puzzled; it’s not like he hadn’t seen the Evolution Era dominated by intelligent life forms and mechanical bodies, but compared to flesh-based life forms, this evolution civilization is far more challenging.

Life forms have unlimited potential, but metal materials can’t be synthesized from scratch, and such civilizations are supported by highly advanced technology trees.

Even those self-evolving mechanical bodies are the same; the mech strength on Li Ming’s body has even surpassed most Ultimate Mechanical Bodies he has seen, but this interstellar region doesn’t have an associated evolution civilization.

This guy has too many secrets; the Abyss Lord became more cautious.

But he still has strong confidence; the previous strike clearly caused damage, and the next is simply a repeat.

He doesn’t believe the opponent’s repairs don’t consume any energy.

"Resistance is meaningless; you are destined for defeat."

The Abyss Lord’s indifference reached an extreme, his right wing extended, the space swept by the wing tip rapidly wrinkling, forming a vortex of gravity that devours everything, squeezing towards Li Ming.

This time, Li Ming did not sit idly by, Kashmir’s Spear pierced with a violent thrust, Giant God Strike followed suit, and brutal force erupted forth.
