Chapter 558 The... fragments of the Eternal Silence Star?
Li Ming looked at the blue light ball floating in front of him in surprise.
Since Zoro just stepped into the palace, he had a strange feeling, he could vaguely feel something in the other person's body.
At first, he was not sure, but as the other party approached, the feeling became stronger and stronger.
So, he tried to pull the thing back, but he didn't expect that he just tried it a little.
Through the blue light, he could vaguely see the irregular fragmented crystal blocks in it, and every bulge on the fracture surface was spraying subtle blue pulses.
After a little movement, the air around the fragments solidifies into an amber-like substance, and the light presents a strange double-helix refraction path.
His eyes moved slightly, and the silver alloy structure rolled up from the back of his neck, covering his head like a metal waterfall, forming a high-level microscope made of a seven-section telescopic sleeve.
The eyepiece array is being automatically calibrated, making constant clicking sounds. Sixteen hexagonal lenses slide and reorganize like beetle compound eyes, and cold blue light flows between the lenses.
Enlarging almost tens of thousands of times, the subtle crystal fragments turned into a huge "planet". He could clearly see that the fragments were trembling constantly.
Every high-frequency vibration will create new fractal cracks on the surface. These cracks are filled with special silver-white symbols. Whenever they are about to overflow, they will converge in time and cycle continuously.
At the same time, the peeled space-time film is suspended on the surface of the fragments, and this layer of translucent substance is printed with constantly changing figures.
Li Ming observed carefully, but Zorro was stunned.
Of course he knew that the special changes in his body were caused by this thing.
You can even see future scenarios, many timelines, and things that will happen in the future.
This was an extremely terrible ability. At first, he was of course excited and thought that his good luck had finally come.
But not long after, he realized that this thing was not something he was qualified to own.
Being able to escape from the empire three times is because the other party has not paid much attention to him.
Even if he can escape, he cannot do more. At most, he can only send a message for help, so he revealed this to Robin, and he also wanted to attract the boss to come and save him.
He himself is too weak, for example, on the way back, he was personally guarded by several S-level mechanical bodies.
This thing in his body has been in a state of silence and has not helped him predict the route to escape.
He guessed that for him, escaping from the S-class mechanical body would be impossible in any case.
Although I knew that I could probably not be able to protect this thing and even made a deal with it, Zorro was still a little proud.
After all, it was this thing that he chose him on his own initiative. Even if he didn't know why he chose him, it was a kind of recognition.
But unexpectedly, Li Ming just stretched out his hand slightly, and the thing in his body abandoned him and ran over happily.
It’s like I’m experiencing a lot of torture, but I just want to send this thing to the other side.
Wait... Zoro couldn't help but smile bitterly, but suddenly reacted, his face changing constantly.
If this thing can predict the future, is it because I was chosen to predict whether I could contact Robin.
Robin then contacted Li Ming and sent it to Li Ming the last journey.
Fuck! Treat me as a human transport aircraft.
Realizing this, Zorro's face looked even more ugly.
Robin looked at the thing curiously. Seeing Li Ming so focused, it should not be a simple thing.
After a brief observation, Li Ming couldn't help but feel excited and breathed a sigh of relief.
He narrowed his eyes, and saw if it was something I guessed, and suddenly grabbed it.
The palms wrapped the broken crystals hanging a few centimeters above.
[Star of Eternal Silence - The Ultimate (Shatter): A Titan sacred relic cast by the Titan race with all its might, with a terrifying power to manipulate time.
Control conditions: 5 billion metal energy
Control ability—future prediction: predicts the timeline of the possibility of the target living organism, the accuracy decays with the increase in time intensity, and can be improved by collecting other fragments.
(Note: Due to special factors, this ability is useless to the host. The greater the influence of the host, the stronger the interference.)
Control ability - Regional time adjustment: It can adjust the time flow speed within a certain range, and the adjustment amplitude depends on the time intensity within the range. Taking the host as an example, the acceleration and attenuation are both 2:1. 】
Li Ming's breathing was slightly stagnant. When he saw the first four words, his heart calmed down. It was indeed what he guessed - the Star of Eternal Silence.
When he pulled this thing out from Zorro's body, he was almost sure that this thing was the Star of Eternal Silence.
The reason why he was able to pull this thing out was probably because of his so-called "hidden king".
The value of the trial of becoming a king is still increasing.
However, when he looked back, his brows frowned slightly.
"Fragments?"
This was the first time he had seen such a description. The most severely damaged one he had ever seen before was a "breaking" sign.
It is the first time I can see it if I collapse into pieces.
The Stone of the Oath is not counted. After checking the information of the Glorious Dynasty, he speculated that the three stones should be independent individuals, but they can be combined together.
It is really worthy of being a sacred titan, Li Ming muttered in his heart, but it was not too surprising.
In the deep-dimensional world, there are more people competing for the "Star of Eternal Silence".
The empire is all in it, and the related traces and the previous time and space storms will definitely not be faked.
There can't be two stars of eternal silence, fragmentation is the only explanation.
Because it is in a fragmented state, the control needs are greatly reduced, only 5 billion, which is lower than the complete infinite heavy hammer.
There are two abilities, no other data support.
[Future Prediction] means easy to understand, which means time deduction.
But this last comment really made him speechless. "Special factors" meant to control the system.
Because of the existence of the control system, he cannot predict any of his timelines, and any timeline prediction involving him will also be seriously disturbed.
It means that if you use the people around you to predict time and want to see some of his future indirectly, you cannot do it.
This made him speechless, but the timeline is more like a possibility screening, and it is not that powerful in nature.
Otherwise, Zorro would not have been caught three times in a row.
But it is still good that the second ability - [Regional Time Regulation] does not have such annotation, which can affect it, which means that genetic seeds can be developed in this way.
Although the time ratio is only two to one, it is equivalent to directly reducing the time by half.
It may be difficult to affect the x-level living organisms when used against enemies, but it is a powerful tool for developing genetic progress.
Li Ming scanned it again and made sure that he had not missed any explanation.
In this fragment, time intensity and integrity are important indicators.
As the time of the affected object increases significantly, it is becoming more and more difficult to adjust its time.
When the fragment integrity is improved, all abilities will increase. "I just don't know, this thing is broken into several pieces." Li Ming pondered, "I don't have any other abilities yet." He guessed that there should be regional time adjustment and countercurrent and acceleration for a single individual, not one ability.
In regional time adjustment, it can develop with the help of time differential, but individual acceleration only acts on the physical state.
Under normal circumstances, if his control object wants to upgrade from x-level to ultimate, it will cost 10 billion metal energy and upgraded materials.
According to this speculation, the Eternal Silence Star will be broken into two at most.
But the ultimate level of water is too deep, and one hundred billion controls are not necessarily the upper limit.
Like an infinite heavy hammer, complete control is required, at eight billion, and unconventional X-level billion.
Various thoughts were intertwined in my mind, but no matter how it was said, Li Ming was in a good mood to get the fragments of the Eternal Silence Star so easily.
But Zorro and Robin were a little nervous.
From their perspective, they could only see Li Ming's face changing after he grabbed the thing.
From excitement, frowning, sighing, and feeling relieved to smiling, his emotions kept changing in a short period of time.
Looking at the last smile of Li Ming, Robin breathed a sigh of relief.
The newest ⊥Xiao⊥Speak⊥Send⊥Six⊥9⊥Book⊥⊥⊥⊥Back⊥⊥⊥⊥!
I guess there should be no problem.
The light glanced at me, but was startled.
Zoro's face was pale, his pupils were covered with blood, his head stretched forward, cold sweat continued to slide from both sides of his temples, his whole body was swaying, his breath was listless, like a candle in the wind. "What's wrong with you?" Robin was stunned. He was still fine when he came in.
"No...it's okay..." Zorro didn't know what was going on, it seemed that he was aging a lot.
An irrepressible weakness arose in the body. This weakness is not like the weakness that used to fight in bed until dawn with implanted sponge bodies, but a root cause of inability to do so.
After the words, he felt his eyes spinning and he was lying on the floor.
Robin's face twitched, he squatted down and checked carefully.
Li Ming came back to his senses and walked closer.
"He was fine just now, why..." Robin was puzzled.
"Time disguise..." Li Ming suddenly said a noun that Robin didn't understand. "How many times have you predicted?" Li Ming asked inexplicably.
Robin was even more confused, but Zorro on the ground was swallowing his saliva, "I can't count it. Every time I escape, I seem to have predicted many times?"
"Ha..." Li Ming couldn't help but grin, "You are so brave. Even if most of the backlash is borne by that thing, you can't stand the remaining small part."
"Before, that thing should have been hiding you."
"Fuck..." Zoro gritted his teeth, "Sure enough, I can't encounter a pie falling from the sky."
Robin heard the smell that Zoro's state should have been made by the blue object.
That kind of object will bring an extremely powerful ability, but the backlash is also very powerful, and Zorro can't withstand it.
Li Ming waved his hand and a mechanical body came from the shadow, spreading eight groups of detection arms, two of which fixed Zorro's head, four groups stripped off the damaged clothes, and the remaining two groups continued to spray disinfectant gas mist.
A sampling probe ejaculated in the chest compartment, accurately piercing into the Zorro lock's body. The light yellow display screen lit up on the back of the mechanical body, refreshing physiological parameters in real time.
Li Ming waited patiently, and he also wanted to see what kind of damage would cause when using the Star of Eternal Silence at will.
Soon, a streamlined test report was presented to Li Ming. The most intuitive sentence was - "The target's cell activity was severely damaged, and its lifespan was greatly weakened, and its estimated value was about 80%..."
"My lifespan was weakened by 80%?" Zoro's eyes widened, making a "ho ho" sound, and felt as if his heart was dead. "It's okay, you can make up for it." Li Ming looked carefully, responded casually, pondered in his heart, and used the cost of cell activity?
Perhaps it is because Zorro cannot support the operation of the Eternal Silence Star, so he uses cell activity as the price.
If it were me... Li Ming pondered, it might be fine for a short period of use, but if you use it for a long time, you may not be able to hold on.
The development of gene progress is a long and lasting process.
Then he is not very acceptable, it is more appropriate to consume physical strength.
Although he didn't know how to abstract physical strength into blue bars by the control system, he was increasingly able to appreciate this benefit.
"Boss, can you really make it up?" Zorro rekindled hope.
Li Ming put away the test report and glanced at him: "It is difficult to increase cell activity out of thin air, but it is not difficult to make up for the missing ones."
At least, it is not difficult for him now.
"Let Robin take you to find Ulrich, he will make arrangements for you."
Zoro was grateful and was helped by Robin to leave here.
Li Ming turned around and headed straight to the development room, preparing to study the fragment carefully.
As soon as he entered the development room, Zhuque received a summary of the information about the mechanical body under his hands.
They seized the Empire's fleet, collected relevant information, and interrogated some people.
What Li Ming is most concerned about is why the empire wanted to capture people like Zorro.
Click on the virtual screen and he carefully checked the relevant report.
"...It's just a routine inspection..." Li Ming couldn't help but be surprised after reading it.
The reason why the Empire captured people like Zorro did not discover that the Eternal Silence Star had turned into pieces.
More precisely, this wandering legion has no contact with those who are looking for the Star of Eternal Silence at all.
It was just that people from the Imperial Academy of Sciences discovered that some recent changes in the shallow dimension world were asked to find samples and conduct investigations.
It can be directly summarized as simply unlucky.
"...so pure..." Li Ming couldn't help but shake his head, thinking that something was wrong.
Although it is certain that the fleet did not understand the Eternal Star, Li Ming was not ready to let them go for the time being.
Once they go back, they will inevitably report this matter. Even if it has nothing to do with Eternal Silence Star, it will attract a lot of attention and maybe they will find out the relationship.
"Let's talk about it after this matter is over..." Li Ming put this matter behind his mind and looked at the fragments in his hand carefully.
He tried to inject energy, and the fragments suddenly emitted a strong tremor, and the pulses surging in the cracks on the surface became even more intense.
But there was no reaction for the time being. Li Ming frowned slightly, and the surging energy breath gushed, trying to inject more energy.
Finally, he could clearly feel an invisible force field gradually opening up, extremely slowly, and finally covering about three meters around him, then stagnating.
It is not that it has expanded to the limit, but that the energy efficiency it can provide can only end here.
