Chapter 1190: Chapter 610: Walking Metal Energies In front of us, the gigantic entity unfurled a pair of steel wings large enough to eclipse a star. The surface metal particles swirled like nano-particles, and one by one, deep black gun barrels gradually emerged, then charged with searing energy that flowed almost like liquid. The remaining members of the United Fleet included not only regular soldiers but also various level evolved beings, including several S-class evolved beings. The oppressive force was palpable, gripping everyone’s hearts. “Everyone, I don’t want to harm you, so you had better cooperate with me. I will deploy mechanical bodies, and if anyone resists…” The communication channel was forcibly accessed, and a cold voice was heard. Under the shadow, the commanders of the United Fleet felt a chill run down their spines as a beam of light tore through the stars, violently enveloping a certain area. There, a scattered fleet attempting to flee suddenly vanished without a trace. Every living fleet, every intact warship, was a bargaining chip for his demanded ransom. After all, this battle had cost him fifty-two billion metal energy. Before the battle, he had one hundred and thirty-six billion, and now he only had eighty-four billion left. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭⟡𝘧𝘪𝘳𝘦⟡𝘯𝘦𝘵 More than thirty billion of it was used to control that group of X-level life forms. Another ten billion was used to enhance the Infinite Hammer, helping him suppress Hemod. Even so, under the ongoing collisions, several cracks appeared on its surface, costing him an additional one billion metal energy for repairs. An estimated five billion more was spent on Hemod, or more accurately, on Kashmir’s Spear. Finally, the Time Fragment consumed four to five billion metal energy. However, these fleets before him, and those X-level life forms, together, even if it’s not just fifty billion metal energy, but five hundred billion or a trillion, the Three Great Civilizations must pay! Possibly more than twenty times the returns, plus Kashmir’s Spear. This battle, the rewards far exceeded the expectations. As he contemplated, his colossal mechanical left arm suddenly disintegrated, then decomposed into various bizarre mechanical bodies. Reynolds and Mikhail’s subordinates were mixed among them, proceeding towards the fleet ahead according to Li Ming’s instructions. With him as a deterrent, the remaining warships and commanders dared not make any moves and were obediently seized. Having confirmed that everything here was under control, his gaze shifted to another location. The remaining twenty-nine X-level life forms, with assistance from Reynolds, Mikhail, and Anduin, had all been fitted with special suppression devices. It was thanks to the solid foundations of Reynolds and Mikhail that they could find so many suppression devices for X-level life forms. Originally, there weren’t so many, and many were hastily crafted. For some high-life-level beings, the strength might still be insufficient. However, Anduin played a supporting role by engraving an energy symbol on them. Coupled with the heavy injuries the X-level life forms had sustained, they were effectively suppressed. As long as they couldn’t heal their injuries, freeing themselves from suppression would be difficult. “This… how could this happen? How could we be subdued?” “Reynolds, Mikhail, when did you come?” “What exactly happened?” These people remained bewildered, remembering only their confusion as to why they were so gravely wounded. The next moment, in a daze, they found themselves captured, and everyone was captured. They had never encountered such an incomprehensible situation, and it sent chills down their spines. “Ha ha…” Reynolds laughed, staring at one of them, “Ronaya, did you ever think you’d fall into my hands?” Only the Empire’s representative, Gaius, turned pale, seemingly guessing something, repeatedly muttering in a low voice, “How is this possible, how is this possible…” “Nothing is impossible. You’ll have to accept a lot more things in the future,” Reynolds grinned, patting Gaius’s shoulder. In the past, while dealing with these people, he had endured much resentment. Today he could vent his frustration properly. Mikhail’s expression changed slightly. Looking up, he saw a purple streak of light cutting through the starfield, falling in the distance. There was a figure attempting to flee—Sven—trying to escape amidst the chaos, but was discovered. He hadn’t even set foot on the Ultimate Path. How could he escape the lock of the Infinite Hammer? Sven’s spiritual fluctuations reached out, pleading without cease: “Lord Azure Dragon, I was wrong, spare my life, spare my life!” A silent explosion of a purple sun, and the spiritual fluctuations abruptly ceased. The purple streak of light returned, heading straight here. Azure Dragon’s manipulated Mechanical Holy Spirit had already descended, contracting to a size of three meters, reaching out its arm to steadily catch the streak of light, disinclined even to absorb this fellow’s Genetic Essence. He could deeply understand Sven’s choice. However, understanding did not prevent him from taking action. This is the Infinite Hammer, isn’t it… Mikhail scrutinized it. Unlike the Mimic Energy Weapon Azure Dragon used before, this was a tangible entity. Examining the detailed craftsmanship, it seemed almost identical to the Forging Hammer’s Infinite Hammer. His heart skipped a beat. What on earth was happening? “I say, old dragon…” Reynolds glanced over, also sweeping his gaze over the Infinite Hammer. It wasn’t surprising, as he had long assumed a certain answer, expressing dissatisfaction instead: “You’re too stingy. In this situation, you didn’t even send your own people. What’s the harm if a few die?”
