The underground laboratory trembled continuously with the roaring sounds.
Feder watched helplessly, seeing nothing but flames and ashes and the pungent smell of ammunition filled the air.
Besides that, he couldn’t hear Li Ming’s voice. He must have turned into a pulp by now.
Caroline’s eyes were cold, and the water in his hands shifted, continuously shooting into the room.
Just then, a beam of thunder light shot out, mixed with metal fragments at such speed that no one from Torch present, other than Caroline, could react in time.
Instantly, one person was penetrated, blood spurting out.
Most of the elites lurking in Jingnan had been charred by the fury of Thunder Hormuz; now only the low-level minions remained, with not high life form classifications.
What truly shocked Caroline, however, was Li Ming’s strength. How could a D-level life form have lasted until now?
Caroline raised his hand, stopping the attack. The people from Torch looked towards the smoke, restless.
A sound like heavy metal colliding rang out.
Another sound followed, then thuds grew closer, seemingly footsteps.
Everyone’s heartbeats matched the pace, and as the dust and debris rose and dissipated, all attention converged on it.
Suddenly, the footsteps stopped.
With every heart skipping a beat, a figure enveloped in flames and thunder burst out from the dust, charging towards Caroline with the speed of lightning!
Caroline started with a jolt, waves surging up before him, only to hear a crack as the barrier shattered, a plasma sword cleaving through it.
Caroline was blown away, and only then did everyone see clearly.
The person who had struck was a towering combat mecha, standing three meters tall with surfaces covered in brown, red, and blue patterns, its entire frame stirring with thunder and flame, holding a plasma sword in its hand.
Indistinctly, one could see silver gray particles flowing throughout its body like tides, and astonishingly, there were six silver metallic mechanical arms extending from its back.
The same question instinctively arose in everyone’s mind.
"This underground laboratory was actually hiding such a set of combat armor!?" Caroline’s expression was grim as he coldly looked at the others.
What were these people doing? How had they not found it.
The Torch members were confused; they had searched every inch of the room thoroughly and found no sign of this mecha.
Li Ming felt the surge of formidable power coursing through his body. The Nightwalker had been activated, and he was now in a C-level life form state.
The control objects within were [Philos Battle General Armor], [Justice Arm Armor], [Super Electromagnetic Sniper Gun], [Super Accelerated Magnetic Shoes], and [Taipo Mecha].
The external manifestation objects were [Tank Guard Armor], [Thunder Exoskeleton], [Constructed Crystal Shield], [Crystal Plasma Sword], [Silver Gray Particles].
It was his most powerful combat state to date.
And at the scene, there was no time for Torch members to think further as the energy confinement devices on the tips of those six metallic mechanical arms began to gather electromagnetic energy.
A concentrated beam of light shot out, piercing through one of the people.
Immediately afterward, the six mechanical arms extended, slicing the other Torch members in the room to pieces.
Feder lay on the ground, not daring to move for fear of being accidentally harmed, his throat moving with equal amounts of shock—Li Ming had more tricks up his sleeve than he expected.
Caroline’s expression darkened, and she immediately charged forward, now completely focused, not underestimating the opponent and going all out.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The suspended liquid coalesced into slender water arrows, targeting Li Ming and raining down like a torrential downpour from above.
Though formed from liquid, their killing power was tremendous, easily penetrating the alloy flooring.
And the coverage area was vast, blocking all his angles of evasion.
Clearly, Caroline came from poor origins. Even as a B-level life form, she focused only on one elemental ability, and with severe injuries binding most of her tactics.
Just as the water arrows were about to fall, an energy shield popped up on the surface of the armor, but its strength was shaky and seemed on the verge of collapse.
However, the most astonishing part was that the silver gray particles adhering to the armor suddenly covered the shield. The particles resonated, and virtual and actual combined to significantly strengthen the defense, managing to block them all.
"What kind of technique is this?" Caroline’s heart was restless, but Li Ming ignored it all as the energy shield vanished from the surface.
The silver gray particles reattached to the armor, and he charged forward, like a high-speed locomotive, with the tips of the six mechanical arms behind him morphing into electromagnetic weapons.
He dares to charge directly?
Caroline raised her hand, her arms turning liquid. The plasma sword tore through the air, lodging deep into the liquefied arms.
"You’ll never understand how terrifying a B-level life form can be..." Before Caroline could finish, she noticed the plasma sword embedded in her arm inexplicably vanished, and then Li Ming withdrew it from her back.
Her heart shook fiercely, more baffled and now driven by enormous curiosity.
She had been ready to kill Li Ming, but now she wanted to delve deeper.
The Yitelan Civilization had detected a level sixteen development potential in him; why couldn’t he be sacrificed?
Although they were enemies of the Yitelan Civilization, they believed in its strength since it was because of this, they couldn’t be wrong.
"Come with me, I’ll give you one last chance." Caroline suddenly said, "Didn’t you say you were willing to side with us?"
