Star Ocean: Starting From the Abandoned Mining Space Station

Chapter 362 Power

The appearance of the Phase Behemoth Clan Leader was beyond Chen Ming's expectation.

But its appearance was indeed reasonable.

Originally, Chen Ming had an idea about the Clan Leader and wanted to use the Clan Leader to do something in the Mechanical Clan's territory.

So he tried to seduce the Clan Leader again a few days ago.

But after several attempts, he found that the Clan Leader who had been in the Scarlet Dimension for a long time had very terrifying power.

None of the warships that dared to try could come back intact, and even after provoking the Clan Leader, there was not a single warship that could successfully leave the galaxy before its own structure was destroyed.

This made Chen Ming temporarily put aside his thoughts on the Clan Leader.

It just so happened that he also found that the power of the Mechanical Clan had been almost exhausted in his many attacks using the Zerg, and it was no longer enough.

He could blow up the entire Mechanical Clan by himself without any other external force.

So Chen Ming's attitude towards the Phase Behemoth Clan Leader was to leave it there first, and deal with it if there was a chance, and if there was no chance, let the Empire worry about it.

That thing is too troublesome to deal with. It is as difficult as fighting a dozen mechanical motherships at the same time, or even more troublesome.

Anyway, the patriarch does not seem to have a strong desire for large-scale destruction. It has been staying in the galaxy where the mechanical race last contacted it and has not left at will.

As long as it does not affect him, he will not do anything to cause trouble.

But Chen Ming did not expect that he would not care about the patriarch later.

As a result, the patriarch came here by himself at this time.

What is it here for?

Chen Ming just thought of this question.

He looked at his right arm, where more and more wounds appeared on his consciousness, and the speed of recovery was getting faster and faster.

In the palm of his right hand is the destruction core, which is also the gap opened by the destruction core to the phase space and the scarlet dimension.

Although the patriarch has fallen into madness because of the scarlet dimension, its biological instinct is still prompting it to come here to fill this gap.

The phase beast exists to block the dimensional gap.

Even the patriarch who has fallen into madness can maintain the barrier between the phase space and the scarlet dimension under normal circumstances.

But if the patriarch comes at this time, it may be bad.

Because this may cause Chen Ming to face the influence of destruction, the pressure of the scarlet dimension, and the indiscriminate attack of the phase behemoth patriarch at the same time.

Although this gap leading to the three dimensions also allowed some phase forces to actively resist the influence of destruction and come to help Chen Ming.

But facing the real invasion of destruction and the scarlet dimension that also resisted destruction, these helps are still a bit too thin.

Just when Chen Ming was thinking about what to do.

The phase behemoth patriarch outside the planet did not come to the planet to trouble him immediately, but instead went to the mechanical motherships that were clearing the Zerg fleet.

From the beginning, the Zerg fleet has actually gradually fallen into a disadvantage.

Because the mechanical race has gathered all the main force in this galaxy, and Chen Ming's assembled force is not even one-eighth of the total force before.

Although the Zerg battleship relied on the cooperation of the normal universe and the phase space during the raid, it played a good effect and helped Chen Ming enter the planet.

But the subsequent Zerg power gradually became weak.

After they cleared out the mechanical auxiliary fleet and a considerable number of orbital defense facilities, they could no longer cause effective damage to the mechanical mothership cluster.

The Zerg fleet in the normal universe can only be easily destroyed by the mothership.

And the mechanical race at least has the means to enter the phase space.

Even if they force the unmodified mothership to enter the phase space, they must clear out the Zerg.

Therefore, when the Zerg in the normal universe are cleared, there are no spaceships in the galaxy.

All the motherships were sent into the phase space by the mechanical race.

An unobservable battle continued to break out in the phase space.

The effect that the Zerg power can exert has obviously stopped here.

However, since Chen Ming's target is underground, he does not care about the progress in space.

It is the behavior of the Phase Behemoth Patriarch at this time that allows the Zerg to breathe.

Even if the patriarch has fallen into madness, its first priority target is still the mechanical race.

When the body of a creature has grown to tens of thousands of meters, its physical strength will only be stronger than that of a warship of the same size.

Because creatures need to make more and more agile movements.

And it's not just the physical strength, the Phase Beast Patriarch is even more terrifying because of the phase and scarlet power it controls.

I saw purple and red light patterns in the phase space flowing on the Patriarch's body.

It allows it to reach the other end of the galaxy from one end of the galaxy without any constraints in the phase space.

It only takes a short phase jump.

And it only takes a few tenths of a second to reach the back from the front of a mothership.

A behemoth that can move almost instantly at a distance measured in a galaxy can destroy the mothership of the mechanical family in a blink of an eye.

The mechanical family also used the Destroyer to calculate Chen Ming, resulting in them now not even having an effective means to counterattack the Phase Beast Patriarch.

The remaining motherships can only get together and shrink in a tight formation.

Under normal circumstances, if the mechanical tribe encounters the clan leader and cannot defeat him, the worst that can happen is that they will give up the star system and let the mothership and the mechanical tribe units that can be evacuated retreat.

Just like they did before.

But now this place is the capital of the mechanical tribe.

This time is also the key point for the mechanical tribe to target Chen Ming.

If the mothership chooses to escape, there is a certain probability that the clan leader will catch up.

It is better to stay. Even if the clan leader really dismantles all the mechanical tribe’s spaceships, he will definitely target Chen Ming later.

Therefore, the mechanical tribe cannot retreat, and the mothership can only hold on in this star system.

And taking advantage of the moment when the mothership was attacked by the clan leader.

Chen Ming can also quickly continue the process just now.

Continue to rely on the ship spirit and thoroughly master the complex and diverse external forces that Chen Ming himself possesses.

The ship spirit accompanying Chen Ming’s consciousness body quickly merged the power of the broken spirit stone together.

Like a dark ball of light, it floated next to the ship spirit.

The spirit stones that resonate with Chen Ming are all spirit stones with extremely strong negative effects.

The product of fusion is simply the ultimate collection of negative forces.

It would not be out of place to say that it was something taken out from the Scarlet Dimension.

But this power is extremely familiar to Chen Ming.

Even the familiar feeling that brought a violent impact to his consciousness made him feel that this was actually the strengthening of the Words of Madness Spiritual Stone.

Chen Ming relied on this power and the combination of Chen Ming's own power, and more external forces to merge together, and began to forcibly control the power of destruction.

Whether it was the shattered destruction core itself, or the power that burst out with the shattering of the destruction core, all were curled up because of the power of Chen Ming's Spiritual Stone.

The fused Spiritual Stone power is integrating the power of destruction into it, swallowing up the destruction together.

The knowledge that Chen Ming mastered through several times in the Scarlet Dimension played a role.

He could easily analyze the nature of this power and understand its essence.

Gradually, the ship spirit began to be somewhat powerless.

Crushing spirit stones, especially those with the strength of the Words of Madness and those with the word "spirit" in their names, such as Soul Eater, consumes a lot of energy.

It also needs to control these powers to control destruction.

Even Chen Ming can't control the core of destruction in his palm now, let alone the boat spirit.

Although Chen Ming's condition is getting worse, he can feel that his power is getting stronger.

So he took over the progress of the boat spirit.

Relying on the shared consciousness of the boat spirit and the experience of smoothing out the chaos core through An Wuping before, the power of destruction that has been integrated by the boat spirit and the power of the spirit stone are completely integrated together.

But Chen Ming made a little change at this time.

He knew that the idea of ​​the boat spirit was to transform the power of destruction into a new system of power that he could control after fusing the power of the spirit stone.

Become a fundamental ability of him.

But Chen Ming didn't think so.

He wanted to try a new approach.

He already had enough power, and what he needed was not a new power system, but to continue to better exert the power he had.

So

Under Chen Ming's control, this new power was drawn into his consciousness.

And gradually spread throughout the consciousness.

Chen Ming had corrected the appearance of his consciousness in front of his boss before, but he did not correct the power he had mastered.

His body was in chaos.

And when the power of the spirit stone and destruction penetrated into his body.

This power immediately stimulated his own power resistance reaction.

Of course, this reaction was immediately stopped by Chen Ming.

He continued to control this power to contact his condensed spiritual energy source.

Relying on the nature of the condensed spiritual energy source, it became a power close to Chen Ming himself, but different from his own complete control.

He relied on the repulsiveness of this extremely negative destructive power to gather the scattered power in the consciousness together.

Like the catalyst produced by the catalytic core that he had just used on himself, it catalyzed the process of Chen Ming gathering the power he already had.

All the complex powers that had been corrected by him in Chen Ming's own consciousness were integrated.

Based on Chen Ming's own cognition, the various organs that constitute his consciousness body.

Only the heart is not a normal organ, but a black and empty sphere that emits the fluctuating power of Chen Ming's own power, which is born from his condensed spiritual energy source after being affected by his own power and external forces.

This is the final product of Chen Ming's power fusion, which is purer than the chaotic core of An Wuping's heart.

Because only three kinds of power constitute it.

Mechanical power, biological power, and dimensional power.

Others, whether it is the power overflowing from the destruction or broken spiritual stone, or the ship spirit that controls these powers to gather together, are only auxiliary to this core.

The name of the product after fusion is [Natural Disaster Core].

Chen Ming doesn't know why it is called this name, but it does not affect him relying on the power of destruction to destroy the redundant parts of his own power system, purify the nature of his own power, and integrate all the power.

Although this was an idea that he came up with through the scarlet knowledge, the final result was better than he expected.

He had never felt that his power was so simple and powerful.

However, a problem still troubled Chen Ming.

That is, he was still restricted by that bottleneck. Obviously, he had to control a main battleship to completely break through the limitation of the power level.

However, although his power level did not change, the strength of his power at this time was already a world of difference compared to before.

Even if the destruction core in front of him had been used by Chen Ming and the destructive psychic energy had not been completely dissipated, he could...

Chen Ming was just about to suppress the destruction core with the strength of his own power.

Suddenly, a huge mouth of the abyss swallowed him and the destruction core in his hand into its belly.

It was the leader of the phase behemoth. It had destroyed all the motherships of the mechanical race in the galaxy, so it turned around and swallowed Chen Ming in one gulp.

The phase power and the scarlet power were constantly squeezing Chen Ming's consciousness, trying to smash and digest Chen Ming's consciousness.

Chen Ming was no longer accommodating the Phase Beast Clan Leader, and simply used the last resort of the psychic.

Consciousness collision.

Chen Ming's consciousness directly dragged the Clan Leader's consciousness into the consciousness space in the Clan Leader's body.

In the competition of controlling the power of the dimension, Chen Ming might still be a little worried about whether he could not beat the Clan Leader, but when the Clan Leader's consciousness was dragged into his consciousness space.

Chen Ming knew that he had won.

The Phase Beast Clan Leader was not a psychic creature, nor a psychic. Its consciousness space was empty, with only a lonely consciousness.

The Clan Leader's consciousness was indeed very powerful, but that was against the power of the Phase Beast.

For Chen Ming, the consciousness of non-psychic creatures was still too weak.

And the more important reason was that the appearance of its consciousness was very different from itself, and it was full of injuries and rotten flesh that could never be recovered.

The Clan Leader had been destroyed to this extent by Scarlet, and his consciousness had long been close to the edge of collapse, and was just hanging on by a breath.

It has lost its original gentle personality and has become a complete monster affected by scarlet.

Chen Ming no longer needs to hold back.

There is no need for the collision of consciousness in the consciousness space.

Chen Ming can easily suppress such a broken consciousness.

But just when Chen Ming came into contact with the consciousness.

A part of the phase power he controlled was suddenly triggered.

He suddenly felt something in his heart and pulled the patriarch's consciousness out of the consciousness space and its body.

The patriarch's consciousness was gradually breaking apart, and these broken forces were filling the space barrier destroyed by destruction.

This is the power that the phase beast has possessed since its birth.

Chen Ming immediately continued its previous action, completely controlling the destruction core whose power had dissipated a lot in his hands, and stimulated the maintenance ability to completely repair the destruction core damaged by the stellar power.

At the same time, continue to let the patriarch's consciousness fill the space barrier.

When the patriarch's consciousness was completely broken, the barrier destroyed by destruction was finally repaired.

But Chen Ming frowned again.

Because he found that the repair of the gap by the patriarch's consciousness was not a complete repair, but a layer of isolation membrane was created between the three spaces.

In other words, the repair is only temporary, and this isolation membrane will be damaged sooner or later.

And when the isolation membrane is damaged, the power of the scarlet dimension will spread out from here again.

The mechanical race really put "destruction" in front of everyone in the empire.

Chen Ming thought about it and tried to release some dimensional power to reinforce it, but his power was just a drop in the bucket compared to the gap.

Construction is much more difficult than destruction. His power cannot completely block the gap, and can only temporarily block it like the patriarch's consciousness.

If you want to completely repair the crack, the difficulty...

However, this kind of thing is not a problem for Chen Ming alone, so he didn't worry after recording the situation here, anyway, it's useless to worry.

Anyway, the gap is there, and the repaired isolation membrane will not be damaged in a short time.

Chen Ming walked back in the direction that was just swallowed by the patriarch.

He walked out of the patriarch's mouth and stood in the ruins of a mechanical building.

The body of the clan leader was lying quietly beside him.

He looked up.

The phase force allowed him to see through the space barrier and see that the several mechanical motherships in the orbit of the planet had all been destroyed.

Of course, all his Zergs died here.

The living forces of the mechanical race have really been completely destroyed.

Even if the military forces fighting the front line and the empire were called back, it would no longer make any sense.

It's over.

The war between Chen Ming and the mechanical race was completely over in less than a month.

The war between the empire and the mechanical race had only lasted for a few months and the victory of the empire could be declared.

Of course, it would take several years for the empire to really occupy an entire mechanical star field.

After all, the difficulty of occupying a colony is not the same as the difficulty of destroying a colony.

Chen Ming breathed a sigh of relief with some emotion.

It's finally over.

But what he had to do was not over yet.

Since we are here, let's take some things away.

This is the capital planet of the mechanical race after all.

Although the mechanical race guided the stellar matter to the planet just now, causing destruction and causing large areas to be damaged.

But there are still intact areas on the planet at this time.

Chen Ming's consciousness body leisurely came to another colony on the mechanical race's capital planet.

He invaded the mechanical race database here and obtained all the data of the mechanical race.

After picking up the colony and putting it in the one controlled by Chen Ming's mechanical race near the border of the empire.

Chen Ming took a quick look at the information he got from the mechanical race database.

The database contains blueprints of all mechanical race units and blueprints of various mechanical race warships.

From motherships to carrier-based aircraft, no matter what blueprints are there.

And there is also a defense force control map of the mechanical race star field in the database.

This control map is different from the previous one. When the previous control map was leaked, the mechanical race still had the energy to modify it.

But now, let alone modifying it, it is a question whether the mechanical race can survive for a few weeks.

It can only be said that as long as this thing is mastered, even if Chen Ming has lost all his combat power at this time, he can still control the mechanical race in this star field.

Chen Ming also found the mechanical race's action plan against the empire in the database.

Originally, the mechanical race planned to use all production lines in the war, and then maintain a shrinking attitude towards the empire on the surface.

When the resources are exhausted and the warships can no longer be produced, all the remaining forces will be dispersed and transferred to the empire, killing as many as possible.

Not for victory, but only for creating killing.

However, Chen Ming jumped behind the mechanical race, causing the mechanical race to change their minds and concentrate their forces on Chen Ming.

Even in the end, even destruction itself was used as part of the trap.

It's a pity that the mechanical race's action still failed.

After all, he is still a step ahead.

Chen Ming continued to search in the database and found the log of the mechanical race's expansion of the entire star field.

It can help him avoid problems on the road of colonization and development.

In addition, there are many valuable documents.

But when he was casually looking through the records of the mechanical race, he found that there was something missing, something that was very important to humans.

History.

Chen Ming could understand the operating principles of the entire mechanical race through the data in the database.

But he could not understand the history of the mechanical race, and he could not find any records related to the mechanical race and history.

He had no idea how the mechanical race was born and how it survived after the destruction of the Shining Civilization.

Chen Ming was still very curious about the past of the mechanical race.

After all, the mechanical race was a relic of the Shining Civilization anyway, and it was part of the scope that his power could cover, and it was also something that Chen Ming still couldn't understand why it seemed to have a deep hatred with the Zerg.

Chen Ming also went to the Shining Civilization Research Institute, and it seemed that their exploration of history was only in progress.

I don't understand.

Chen Ming always felt that there might be something hidden in the history of the mechanical race, but now it seemed that there was no chance to figure it out.

He had nothing to say, and after taking a final look at the file, he was ready to continue doing what he should do.

But in the end, he suddenly found a huge file.

This file looks like a star map file.

And the size of this file is much larger than the star map files Chen Ming usually sees.

It is not a difference of several times or dozens of times, but thousands of times... or even more than that.

Chen Ming immediately took some time to open this star map file.

When this star map was opened, Chen Ming didn't even understand the contents of the file at first.

But after he looked at it carefully for a while, he suddenly realized the problem. .

He saved this star map with a serious expression, and specially copied several storage units as copies.

He felt a little pressure in his heart.
