Chapter 1015: Chapter 522: Erosion from the Eternal Abyss! Corruption? (Part 2)

As they spoke, six Mechanical Guards had already appeared around him, surrounding him in the center, simultaneously raising various Energy Cannons aimed at him.

“What are you doing, so decisive?” Greenlight Gurt looked on in astonishment, admiringly: “Are you afraid that you’ll endanger the safety of the universe, so you’re going to commit suicide before the Eternal Abyss completely erodes you?”

Li Ming couldn’t be bothered to respond, the Mechanical Guards had already started charging. He was prepared to use the sixty seconds of immunity from the Life Power Core to free himself from this erosion.

“Don’t, let’s think of other ways. It doesn’t have to come to this…” Greenlight Gurt passionately tried to stop him.

“Impatient” Heavenly King had finished charging, but Li Ming’s expression suddenly turned peculiar.

“Wait a minute…” He noticed that most of his body was enveloped in gray-white mist, his skin turning gray-white, about to be eroded.

But in this moment, the Abyss Fog had already spread to his right index finger.

This finger was unusual, used for absorbing metal energy and various special energies.

And at the first contact, he felt the gray-white mist starting to uncontrollably surge into this finger.

Not surging in, but being absorbed!

This thing could be absorbed!

In an instant, Li Ming thought of many things.

…So this is the special energy I extracted from those Abyss Clan bodies?

Wait a minute… could those Abyss Clan have been…

Li Ming’s throat moved, feeling like he had uncovered a big secret.

“Why did you really stop?” Greenlight Gurt noticed the mechanical bodies had lowered their weapons and felt somewhat awkward, and a bit anxious:

“It wasn’t necessary, I was just saying something offhand, no need to take my word for it. You should continue with what you were doing.”

Greenlight Gurt felt some regret, “Listen to me, I was lying when I said let’s think of other ways, there’s no other way. After being eroded by the Abyss Clan, you’ll lose consciousness, which is no different from death, and it will endanger other creatures. It’s better to just end it.”

Li Ming couldn’t be bothered with this joker, using his finger to poke around various parts of his body’s surface, absorbing the Abyss Fog that had eroded into his body.

“It’s over, he’s truly gone mad…” Greenlight Gurt lamented, anxious, having killed a Taigos, and now releasing a super seed.

This guy, if he grows, won’t be less dangerous than Taigos.

However, as he watched, his eyes suddenly bulged, “No… is the Abyss Fog disappearing!?”

He was stunned, body frozen in place, truly entering a state of shock.

Encountering something completely unexplainable, it shocked his processing center.

After a long time, he seemed to resolve the internal logical conflict within his body, muttering: “How is it possible, what has the outside world developed into, that it actually has the ability to dissolve the Abyss Fog…”

“If there was such an ability back then, perhaps…”

His expression changed, and the gray-white mist surrounding Li Ming had dissipated by about seventy to eighty percent.

Exercising his body, various Elemental Powers once again soaked into his desiccated cells, the numb flesh gradually regained vitality.

Having absorbed about ninety percent of the incomplete Power of Eternal Abyss, he was mildly moved, opening the Control page.

The incomplete Power of Eternal Abyss had been filled to completeness–

[Power of Eternal Abyss: A special power from the Eternal Abyss, when used on Controlled Objects, it can degenerate them.]

Degenerate?

Li Ming carefully read the description, inevitably confused, not quite understanding the meaning of degeneration, and there was no further explanation.

“The Power of Eternal Abyss can make life forms lose control, so degeneration should stem from this…” Li Ming pondered.

He originally thought the complete Power of Eternal Abyss was of the Ultimate Life Form level.

Unexpectedly, it was completed this time, he calculated, having absorbed the Power of Eternal Abyss about three times, the first time was rather weak, from the tomb of a Lord Level Titan.

The second time was absorbed from an X Level Abyss Clan, and the third time, from Taigos, was the strongest.

Combining these three, he guessed it should be at the Subordinate Dominator energy level, and doesn’t promote the Controlled Objects, likely adding some Trait.

He couldn’t help but be curious, but now was clearly not the time for research, so he put it aside for now.

Coming back to his senses, Greenlight Gurt was squatting in front of him, a pair of large green eyes staring fixedly at him, eyes filled with fervor

Li Ming instinctively swung a fist, but it hit empty air, he then rubbed his nose, “What are you doing?”

Greenlight Gurt suspiciously stared at him, then eagerly asked, “How… how did you handle the Abyss Fog, has external civilization developed to such an extent?”

“Uh… this…” Li Ming vaguely replied, “Not quite, it’s just some personal talent of mine…”

“Personal talent? Such a talent exists?” Greenlight Gurt was amazed but very excited, “Regardless of everything, with such a talent, you’ll be tremendously important when Returning Void Stage arrives.”

But thinking this, his expression turned serious, “However, you must stay vigilant. The Eternal Abyss is highly intelligent; if it discovers this ability of yours, it certainly will not let you go easily.”

“Thank you for the warning…” Li Ming was mildly moved, couldn’t help but ask, “About the Eternal Abyss, I do have some questions…”

……

Outside the Arena, in the Desolate Channel, where Li Ming’s small spaceship was parked.

At present, it has been completely surrounded, inside and out, probably containing about twenty or thirty figures from various life forms.

In the outer circle, there were plenty of various types of warships, tier after tier.

Standing right in the center were Anatoli and Sener, among others.

“Why is there a spaceship here?” Sener frowned and asked, “Didn’t Lord Anatoli say this coordinate is extremely secretive?”

“Probably just an explorer; this ship’s specs are very low.” Anatoli appeared calm, but was also wondering inside.

After arriving in this area, they spread out, setting up defensive perimeters and various probes, also gambling on a chance to directly discover that hidden space.

Yet underlings of theirs discovered a lone small spaceship here.

“The inside of the spaceship is very clean, with no residual traces, no clues left in the navigation system, and the hard drives were removed.” A figure emerged from the spaceship, it was Gusta:

“The external armor and inside had no signs of collision damage, indicating he didn’t leave in a rush but intentionally left the spaceship here.”

Intentionally left the spaceship here… everyone’s gaze involuntarily turned to Anatoli.

Certainly, they didn’t believe in coincidence, the owner of this spaceship was likely here for that Star Beast as well.

“This spaceship was made by ‘Dumen Shipwright’, probably came from the Desolate Anchor Star Gate Node, there should be clues over there.” Someone recognized its origin and said.

“It takes more than half a year to travel back and forth; even if we trace it to the Desolate Anchor Star Gate Node, it’s useless.” Sener shook his head and asked: “Is anyone here proficient with time abilities?”

A brief silence, no one responded.

Gusta spoke, “I’ve already tried, the opponent is experienced, having accumulated highly intense energy, disrupting the area’s stability, making it difficult to trace back.”

“It seems like an old hand.” Sener implied something, “Lord Anatoli has been keeping it under wraps for so long, yet didn’t expect someone to get here first.”

“There’s no trace of the opponent in this area, presumably they’ve already entered that space, didn’t you say, entering requires resolving various difficulties?”

“But this guy arrived with such a simple spaceship and found a way to enter.”

Everyone had different expressions, while Anatoli’s expression remained calm, “No need to rush, since this ship is still here, it indicates the person hasn’t left.”
