Chapter 288 Star Gate Opening
In the destroyed space of the Earth Core Furnace Power Tower.
After the glow of the plasma completely illuminated the surroundings, Chen Ming finally found Qianmian, who had been hiding with the black fog psychic energy.
At this time, Qianmian had completely entered the insect form by relying on the stolen psychic energy of An Wuping.
And from the appearance, there was almost no difference from An Wuping's insect form, and even in terms of body size, it was about half a meter taller.
The psychic energy stolen by Qianmian sometimes played a stronger role in his hands than the original owner.
But An Wuping's psychic energy was obviously an exception.
Chen Ming specifically reduced the size of An Wuping's insect form to this extent, but if the size was enlarged, it would not have an advantage in front of him.
But Qianmian's understanding of An Wuping was obviously not deep enough.
After absorbing a large amount of psychic energy fluctuations and completely entering the insect state, he directly imitated Chen Ming's usual fighting habits of controlling An Wuping, rushed to Chen Ming's front very arrogantly, and threw a punch.
Chen Ming certainly didn't want to give in, and he threw a punch in the face.
Neither side took any precautions, only a simple and rough punch went straight to the enemy's face.
Chen Ming's head shook slightly under Qianmian's punch.
Qianmian's carapace was shattered by the impact the moment Chen Ming's fist hit him, and he flew backwards and hit the wall of the Earth Core Furnace Energy Tower.
The terrifying impact of this punch also caused the surrounding walls to crack, and the walls of nearly ten floors collapsed under the impact of Qianmian being knocked away.
"Ah?"
This was the thought that appeared in the minds of Chen Ming and Qianmian at the same time.
Chen Ming had never expected that Qianmian's insect form looked comparable to An Wuping, but in fact it would be so weak.
This didn't seem to be because of Qianmian's use of psychic energy, but because there was something wrong with the psychic energy that Qianmian obtained.
Although Qianmian really got the spiritual energy of An Wuping, which he didn't know what it was, when he used it, he was obviously not up to the standard of the Queen's spiritual energy.
You should know that the main source of An Wuping's physical strength, in addition to the Zerg genes, is the Queen's spiritual energy.
Qianmian's current situation is obviously purely due to his appearance and some abilities, and the power from the Queen's spiritual energy is not high.
This eventually led to the current situation.
Chen Ming is now increasingly confused about whether it is Qianmian's problem or An Wuping's problem.
On the other side, Qianmian, who was knocked away by a punch, smashed the wall, and crashed into the industrial zone, was also stunned.
He couldn't understand why he clearly absorbed An Wuping's spiritual energy fluctuations, and when he replicated the spiritual energy, he also followed An Wuping's spiritual energy fluctuations completely, but in the end, when he fought with An Wuping, he couldn't get out of a round?
Why?
Qianmian's mind was full of doubts.
But he could feel that the injury caused by the punch just now was recovering rapidly under the effect of An Wuping's spiritual energy.
Obviously, the psychic energy he copied should be fine, why is this happening?
"An Wuping!"
Someone's voice suddenly sounded not far behind Qianmian.
He turned his head immediately after hearing this, and saw a psychic who heard the noise of their fight just now and came to pick up the leak. He was staring at Qianmian, whose carapace was broken and a lot of gray-green blood was flowing.
The name called out by this psychic immediately attracted all the psychics hiding in the industrial zone.
Although there are many psychics on this planet who are trying to take advantage of the situation, there are definitely psychics from the Fifth Legion, the local government, and even the Empire.
They are all scattered far away on the tops of various industrial buildings and did not approach rashly.
However, the psychic in front of him has obviously become greedy.
Seeing the seriously injured Qianmian and thinking of the high bounty hanging on An Wuping's head, he finally couldn't help it.
The psychic wave entangled his body and wanted to attack Qianmian.
Qianmian didn't give in. He climbed up despite the serious injuries on his body. Before the psychic who had no idea of his own strength could react, he tore his throat with one claw and smashed his head with one punch.
Feeling the power in his body, Qianmian moved a little, and the broken shell on his body quickly recovered with the blessing of psychic energy.
He could use An Wuping's power to easily kill other psychics, but this power seemed so pale and powerless when facing An Wuping.
Qianmian exhaled. He decided to give up An Wuping's seemingly good psychic power, leaving only the super-speed recovery ability he needed, and the rest.
After all, the battle still depends on oneself.
He turned around again and looked in the direction of the Earth Core Furnace Power Tower.
The smoke and dust from the collapsed building over there was rapidly dissipating in the rain.
The gap more than ten stories high soon appeared clearly in front of everyone.
Although the Earth Core Furnace Power Tower lost these structures, it did not shake at all, and there was no sign of collapse at all, which was enough to show how strong this building was.
The psychic inside was definitely not easy to deal with, as it could destroy such a building so seriously.
Who was that psychic?
Such questions did frighten some psychics who wanted to fish in troubled waters.
But there was no way to completely stop the greed in everyone's heart. The psychics who were already occupied by greed would at most hesitate because of this situation.
Soon.
A black shadow walked from the shadow inside the power tower to the edge of the collapsed wall.
A psychic who was hiding somewhere suddenly made a sound that everyone present could hear: "That person is also An Wuping!"
"Also An Wuping? Then the one below?"
"One of the An Wupings is fake!"
"That means..."
No one else knew what the psychic outside was thinking.
Anyway, Qianmian and Chen Ming, who were the focus of the psychics on Yunluo Star at this time, didn't care about the outside eyes.
The fact that the people around didn't come over immediately proved that they were not capable enough to participate in this battle.
The two of them were the strongest on the battlefield.
Qianmian waited until his injuries were completely healed, and then he turned into black mist again and disappeared near the ground where he fell, and entered the energy supply tower.
And his action also confirmed one thing for the people around him, that is, the An Wuping who was knocked out was fake, and was a disguised existence of Zuo Jing's psychic.
The news that two An Wupings, one real and one fake, appeared at the same time quickly spread through the psychics who were watching.
And then inside the energy supply tower, the sound of fighting broke out again.
Qianmian had recovered from the insect form to a normal human form.
He relied on the changeable psychic energy to constantly test Chen Ming, trying to find out the foundation of Chen Ming's combat ability.
As the psychic energy fluctuations with various effects were constantly used on Chen Ming.
He also gradually found the most appropriate means to deal with An Wuping.
As a psychic who can copy the psychic effects of other psychics, Qianmian can naturally use multiple psychic effects at the same time.
The upper limit of the number of psychic powers that he can use without restriction and without becoming a psychotic entity is four.
And he gradually found the four most suitable psychics to deal with An Wuping.
Qianmian's most commonly used black fog.
Clear ice that is enough to withstand the power of Chen Ming's punch.
The virtual psychic that became a psychotic entity before.
And the high-speed recovery psychic effect in human form obtained from An Wuping.
Four psychics gathered in one person.
Even if Chen Ming's power is enough to destroy the cruiser, there is no way to immediately solve Qianmian who has the triple life-saving skills of black fog, virtualization and high-speed recovery.
In addition, Qianmian has been relying on the complex environment inside the Earth Core Furnace Energy Tower to pull with Chen Ming.
He absolutely did not fight head-on, but relied on the sharpness of the ice to occasionally rush out from the dark to attack Chen Ming.
Although he would not care if he pierced An Wuping's fatal parts directly, or even cut off his fatal organs such as the brain and heart.
But he had no way to deal with Qianmian, and could not catch him at all.
Even if Chen Ming could occasionally react and barely touch Qianmian with his fist wind, Qianmian's injuries would soon recover, and then he would continue to look for opportunities to stab Chen Ming.
Like a fly, disgusting, but unable to be killed.
Chen Ming frowned and relied on the biomass jet to float in the center of a huge space that he had destroyed under the power tower of the earth's core furnace.
The glow of plasma appeared on his fist again.
He actually didn't want to release the plasma directly now, because if the power tower on the surface collapsed, it would be more troublesome for him to go deep underground later.
But Qianmian's current movement really made him quite uncomfortable, and he could only try another ancient method while taking out the plasma.
Chen Ming suddenly said to the people around him: "I heard that at the beginning, it seemed that your psychic with brainwashing ability killed a person affected by his psychic power."
"What a coincidence, the person you killed just died in front of one of your mortal enemies. I remember his name was Chen Ming, right? He died in front of him."
"Then your existence was exposed. Your plan of dimensional infection and trying every means to hide yourself in the Caimo Star Region was directly ruined, and you were forced to become what you are now."
Qianmian, who was hiding in the dark corner, had a dark face and did not reply.
"I am very curious about one thing. Are you mocking Chen Ming? Are you afraid that he will forget you?"
Chen Ming's eyes swept around, but Qianmian was still very calm and was not affected by An Wuping's words. He continued to lurk in the shadows, ready to rely on the combination of virtualization and black fog psychic energy to give Chen Ming a hard blow.
At this moment, Chen Ming suddenly heard noisy and dense movements coming from the outside of the power supply tower, and the psychics outside seemed to have a conflict.
Chen Ming frowned slightly, because at present, the situation outside will only become more and more chaotic.
The time he solved Zuo Jing was the time when the chaos ended.
It would be better for Qianmian to die here quickly.
Chen Ming didn't think about it anymore and patted his chest with his hand.
In addition to An Wuping's heart, there is another thing here.
The source of chaos.
Qianmian's psychic energy is weird and diverse.
Then Chen Ming can also use the effects brought by the source of chaos to counter Qianmian.
Infatuation, ruthlessness, electromagnetic force, virtualization, and the psychic energy of the queen of insects are all stored in this source of chaos.
Infatuation, ruthlessness and the psychic power of the Queen of Insects are of no use to Chen Ming, but electromagnetic force and virtualization are not among them.
As the chaos core is stimulated.
Relying on the effect of previous training, Chen Ming has penetrated the electromagnetic force into his own biological magnetic field.
A force from the magnetic field constantly stimulates An Wuping's body, constantly expanding the power from the organism itself.
And the ability to sense the magnetic field brought by this psychic power also allows Chen Ming to directly lock Qianmian, who is in a virtual state in the black fog.
Just wait for Qianmian to leave the virtual state.
No matter how Qianmian uses the black fog to transfer, he can't get rid of Chen Ming's tracking.
Qianmian's sixth sense of psychic is stimulating him, allowing him to feel the fear from the origin of psychic power, and the fear of the unknown situation that Chen Ming can use a new power.
He can see a lot of puzzles from An Wuping.
Including what An Wuping's identity is, why psychic power can't be completely replicated, and now this electromagnetic force of unknown origin.
Electromagnetic power...
Qianmian's mind suddenly recalled what An Wuping had said.
It was the words that appeared in their underground laboratory in Zuojing.
If he remembered correctly, there should be an electromagnetic psychic in the composition of the psychotic entity.
Although he remembered that the electromagnetic psychic was not strong, and the psychic power was not in this form, and it was different from the psychic effect that An Wuping was using now.
But since the nature is the same, the source of the electromagnetic psychic power on An Wuping is probably that psychic.
Since that person has become part of the psychotic entity.
If you want to continue to obtain this power...
The origin of chaos...
Qianmian speculated on the most likely situation now.
He immediately amplified his perception of Chen Ming.
In the surging and chaotic psychic fluctuations, he detected the slight fluctuations of the infatuated spirit stone in the underground research institute.
His guess was correct.
An Wuping is a lunatic!
He stuffed the source of chaos into his body to control it and use the spiritual energy in it for his own use.
Qianmian felt a little nervous at this time.
Because even a psychic like him who had rich experience in using multiple spiritual powers at the same time did not dare to do this.
If An Wuping could not control it, he might be involved.
As soon as this idea came into his mind, he was immediately forcibly erased.
Thinking about something in a life-and-death battle will only make people closer to death.
And his mental power was consumed crazily.
Voiding is not a completely unlimited spiritual power. The high mental power consumption of using it means that Qianmian cannot hide in Voiding for a lifetime.
When Qianmian finally couldn't help but stop Voiding, several suspended ice spears appeared behind him.
The terrifying power of the magnetic field dragged Chen Ming away from the spot.
When he appeared again.
Qianmian really felt the threat of death.
But just before Chen Ming's fist hit.
His body suddenly changed.
His body gradually became transparent, becoming a half-real and half-virtual nature.
It was this sudden change that allowed him to avoid the plasma and Chen Ming's violent punch under the power of the magnetic field.
This is not virtualization, virtualization does not have such external manifestations, but a nature that makes Chen Ming feel more familiar.
It's like... a ship spirit.
His body has properties similar to a ship spirit.
Under normal circumstances, only pure mental power can affect the existence of a ship spirit.
Therefore, in Qianmian's current state, only pure mental power can hurt him, and if Chen Ming guessed correctly, the current mental power should cause fatal damage to Qianmian.
But just when Chen Ming wanted to change the means of attack, his mental power had just gathered.
Qianmian used the virtual spiritual energy again, and with the black fog and spiritualization, he completely disappeared from his perception.
Even the biomagnetic field could not locate his existence.
After entering the spiritualization, he seemed to have really disappeared.
But Chen Ming knew that Qianmian must still be somewhere, near him.
Before Chen Ming had time to find Qianmian's trace.
He suddenly received a message from his subordinate Yuhui.
The star gate located in Caimo-1 has just been successfully activated.
According to the space fluctuation data released when the star gate was activated, and Chen Ming's several external brains far outside the empire instantly calculated the results.
The other side of the star gate is connected to the Beinu star field.
Chen Ming immediately divided some of his attention to the fleet of Caimo-1.
At this time, inside the galaxy, in the center of the giant stargate device, in the illusory film. A huge fleet appeared.
The leading flagship has reached the 10,000-meter level.
It is a main battleship.
If Chen Ming remembers correctly, the model of the main battleship that is passing through the stargate.
It is a fuel transport ship called Prometheus-class jointly developed by multiple governments.
However, the appearance of this Prometheus is slightly different from what Chen Ming knows, and it seems to have undergone a lot of modifications.
A large number of fuel storage tanks have been removed, and a considerable number of weapons of different models have been installed in these vacant gaps.
And the most conspicuous thing on this Prometheus-class is the giant cannon that is almost one-third of the length of the ship.
If Chen Ming remembers correctly, the main weapon of Prometheus should be the Vulcan-class positron cannon, which belongs to energy weapons.
But this cannon is obviously not an energy weapon. It should be a new cannon that fires live ammunition during the modification.
No matter what it is.
Since this battleship comes from the Beinu star field, then this battleship and the fleet it leads cannot be heading towards the empire, but belong to the fleet of Zuojing.
If such a battleship is only active in the Beinu star field, which should be completely controlled by Zuojing, there will be no problem.
But since it came to the focus of the entire empire, Caimo star field, through the star gate, the news that the battleship was used was naturally spread immediately by the spacecraft that were hurriedly fleeing around the galaxy.
Chen Ming soon got the news from his boss again, which he learned at the first time.
The appearance of this battleship gave all those who were still in Caimo, Luxi and other galaxies who were taking action against Zuojing a choice.
Either leave or face the threat brought by the battleship.
At this time, Chen Ming could see through the external monitoring of the psychic-controlled Earth Core Furnace Power Tower that some psychics who were not too deeply affected by the greedy psychic fluctuations had retreated.
They left the industrial zone, boarded the shuttle, and prepared to run away.
But some people still chose to continue to come to him. It was not known whether they had not received the news or their greed had overcome their reason.
These people could not put pressure on Chen Ming, but the upcoming situation of the main battleship did make him feel a sense of urgency.
As long as the main battleship came out of the star gate, it could jump immediately.
And its first target for jumping was definitely here, the Luxi galaxy, and the orbit above the Yunluo star.
And the main battleship, even if it was just a main battleship that was supposed to belong to logistics, at least at present, it seemed to have the ability to destroy stars.
Although it might not be able to directly blow up the planet, it would definitely be no problem to wash the entire surface of the planet.
If this Prometheus came, the recipient underground might not be in trouble.
But An Wuping, who was still on the surface, would definitely be in trouble.
Can't delay any longer.
Chen Ming knew that he had to speed up and deal with Qianmian.
But there was another question in his mind.
Since Zuo Jing had taken out the battleship, what about the Fifth Legion? What about the Empire? What about the battleships on their side?
He could only ask this question in his mind. After the president went to work on something, he couldn't ask anyone about this question.
But there was good news.
At least for now, it seemed that Qianmian, who was blocking his actions, couldn't beat him.
Since Qianmian was hiding now, Chen Ming didn't need to keep entangled with Qianmian.
His target was not Qianmian. It was the recipient underground.
He was the attacker.
It was just that Chen Ming was worried that if he went underground against Qianmian's attack, he might be attacked by two psychics at the same time.
But since Qianmian has used such psychic power, in terms of combat power, apart from his overly strong survivability and slightly more variable psychic power, there is no ability that can kill him.
Then Chen Ming has nothing to worry about, and he goes down directly to find the recipient.
It forced Qianmian to fight him head-on and not give him a chance to delay.
Chen Ming adjusted his posture in the air.
Both fists were covered with a plasma glow, and rushed directly to the underground of the power supply tower that had collapsed a lot.
The ground collapsed, the building collapsed, and Chen Ming instantly connected to the underground and penetrated dozens of floors.
The psychic fluctuations from the recipient have become more and more obvious.
And the psychic fluctuations of Qianmian that had just disappeared also appeared in his perception again.
Qianmian was indeed anxious.
