CHAPTER 856: CHAPTER 443: WHIMSICAL IDEAS - LET AZURE DRAGON PRETEND TO BE A FORGING HAMMER?

Hearing Reynolds’ words, before Li Ming could speak, Mikhail glanced at him coldly and said in a deep voice, "You’re asking for death."

"Is our production capability comparable to those civilizations? Not to mention Empire Level Civilizations, we can’t even match those Star Cluster Level civilizations in the Sea of Stars."

He was very clear about his own understanding.

Their main combat method relies on massive mechanical body warfare.

The problem is, in terms of the number of mechanical bodies, they still can’t compare to those civilization groups.

Their shock power, a large part of it comes from the Mechanic Association, and then it’s them.

"Moreover, the current situation is different from that during the Forging Hammer era," Mikhail explained:

"Back then, the Mechanic Association wasn’t that powerful, and no one wanted to confront the Forging Hammer because it was uncertain when this organization, which might perish any time, would rise."

"And now, everyone knows it’s a big piece of cake. Even if the Forging Hammer resurrects, it may not settle everything, and in a fight, there would undoubtedly be a loss."

Li Ming remained silent, thinking again of the World Tree at the Dimensional Central, which in the mouth of the Holy Castle inspector had the potential of becoming a Dominator Level dimensional entity.

"The Forging Hammer can definitely handle it," Reynolds countered, adding, "We two might not make it, but what if we add the old dragon? And rally other mechanics to showcase our capabilities."

Reynolds grew increasingly excited, pacing back and forth, radiating vigor, "Let’s display a bright and clear world!"

Old dragon?

Li Ming stayed silent, then decisively shook his head, "It’s not worth it. Causing such turmoil over this matter, once we start, we’d be the target of everyone."

Also, to establish a bright and clear world?

He has only this bit of resources; a little shake-up and it’s all gone.

Mikhail took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "It’s not been long since Azure Dragon made an appearance in the Mechanic Association. For more mechanics, he is just a Divine Craftsman, but just a Divine Craftsman. Even if he speaks up, not many people would side with him."

"As for us..." Mikhail paused, "maybe some mechanics would follow, but at most, it would only be one-fifth, perhaps even less."

"Indeed..." Reynolds thought for a bit, lamenting, "What a pity the Forging Hammer isn’t around... hmm?"

Suddenly, his tone shifted slightly, his expression turned wonderfully colorful, "We can resurrect the Forging Hammer!"

Mikhail looked over in astonishment, as Reynolds excitedly spoke as if he had found a great idea, "Yes, why didn’t we think of it before, we can turn Azure Dragon into the Forging Hammer..."

"See, the old dragon only appeared recently, and even fought with the Infinite Hammer. We just need to shape it a bit, and it’s like the Forging Hammer had previously faked his death..."

Want me to impersonate the Forging Hammer?

Li Ming’s expression grew strange. This Reynolds, truly filled with fanciful ideas.

"Get out!" Mikhail couldn’t help it, his face turning unsightly, "Do you take everyone else for a fool? A hammer that just looks like the Infinite Hammer can prove Azure Dragon is the Forging Hammer?"

"Then if I change my ID to ’Adam’, does that prove I’ve become the Holy Emperor of the Empire?"

"In terms of public opinion, can we compete with Empire Level civilizations? Once this is uncovered, our reputations will be utterly ruined!"

Reynolds muttered, "It’s not like there aren’t other evidences, doesn’t Azure Dragon still have that technology similar to the Holy Spirit Core? People outside are already spreading that Azure Dragon is a student of the Forging Hammer..."

Speaking, he looked at Li Ming again, "Old dragon, give us some insight, is your technology from Azure Dragon? If you can truly come up with a Mechanical Holy Spirit, there might be a chance to impersonate."

Mikhail’s tone paused, and what appeared to be rage swiftly calmed down, casting a glance at Azure Dragon, slightly unsure.

Are you two brothers teaming up to put on a play?

Li Ming speculated in his mind, then shook his head coldly, "I can’t. I can only merge a few mechanical bodies at best; large-scale fusion, I’m not yet able to manage."

"It does indeed reference the Hammer Divine Craftsman’s combat style, as for being a student, it’s pure nonsense."

Although he had the Holy Spirit Core, once he controlled it, he could indeed perform similarly to the Forging Hammer.

But openly impersonating the Forging Hammer would be more harmful than beneficial.

No one yet knows Azure Dragon’s identity; secrecy is his greatest hallmark, and directly impersonating the Forging Hammer would dispel that mystery.

The amount of trouble that would arise is unknown, and crucially, he does not possess the peak strength of the Forging Hammer.

Just to buy the Mechanic Association more time, it’s not worth inviting such great repercussions.

Mikhail’s eyes shimmered slightly, with an inscrutable belief.

"Alright then..." Reynolds was somewhat disappointed, adding, "However, staying firm always helps, the three of us united can’t be ignored, can we?"

Li Ming’s eyes flickered slightly, "Hmm, it’s possible, but can the two of you reveal the scale of mechanical bodies under your command?"

"Uh..." Originally boisterous, Reynolds’ expression flickered at this question, and Mikhail shook his head, "Forget it, let’s stick to our predetermined plan."

No one was willing to disclose.

Li Ming was curious; last time in the Central World, Reynolds raised nearly ten million mechanical bodies.

These two old fellows, with their thousands of years of accumulation, could be terrifying.

However, this kind of power is different from conventional strength, because once a mechanical body is smashed, it can’t self-repair, and the loss is tangible. Anyone would feel the pain using it.

"Alright then..." Reynolds no longer talked about displaying power, "The Creator has already shown face, next it’s my turn."

Mikhail nodded, "This high pressure won’t last long, once you give your statement, I expect a few civilization groups will soon seek to negotiate with us."
