Chapter 691 Blood Mist Crisis

“If that’s the case…” His heart moved slightly, “Then can I absorb the alchemical source created by Levenbeck?”

He had a vague idea, but absorbing the alchemical essence was probably not that simple.

This alchemical abyss produces blood mist, which is then converted into alchemical source material through some ability.

Although this Alchemy Abyss Seed has this ability, it is a consumable and disposable item.

He pondered in his heart, frowned slightly, and shook his head: “Let’s stop it first.”

The changes are too big and the uncertainty is too high, and he is not so cruel as to do that.

Zhang Hengyu and Anduin didn’t say anything, just looked at Li Ming who was in silence.

Soon, Li Ming came to his senses and found that the screening of Suzaku had produced preliminary results.

There are ten people on one page, and there are more than a hundred pages of target persons. All of them have changed their behavior habits drastically in recent months and have rarely gone out.

This is only part of the information collected. The more accurate number is probably even greater than this.

Li Ming looked at Anduin first, “I will send you a list later. Ask all members to come to the Star Alliance and remove this thing from the planet according to the coordinates on the list.”

“All members…” Anduin’s face changed slightly. He didn’t expect Li Ming to attach such importance to Levenback. He couldn’t help but remind him: “Should the Star Alliance prepare in advance…”

“I’ll say hello.” Li Ming nodded.

Anduin then hurried away, taking the Archon of Sanchez with him.

Zhang Hengyu’s emotions surged when he heard this, and he finally couldn’t help it and asked cautiously, “Sir, does this matter have to be so big?”

“If we’re lucky, the Star Alliance might not suffer too much damage.” Li Ming glanced at him, “If we’re unlucky, we’ll suffer heavy damage.”

Seriously injured? Zhang Hengyu was horrified. The serious injury he heard must be unusual.

He was shocked and angry at the same time. He had submitted his report more than a month ago, but no one cared.

“It would be better if we all died!” he cursed with gritted teeth.

………

In the void somewhere in the Sea of ​​Stars, there is a scarlet flesh ball as big as a planet, like the heart of a rotten god.

The surface is covered with tens of thousands of purple-black blood vessels as thick as mountains, and the surface of these pulsating blood vessels is covered with barbs.

Asphalt-like pus and blood continued to ooze out of the surface of the fleshy ball. These viscous liquids condensed into a scab the size of a continental plate in the vacuum, which was constantly broken by the newly grown fleshy tumors underneath.

Its body is still expanding, with giant tentacles made of debris extending from its surface, sinking into the depths of the void, absorbing energy from an unknown source.

In the core, deep where flesh and blood were surging, Levenback sat on the throne of flesh and blood, his lower body almost condensed into one with the throne, behind him were the rotten limbs of the dominant, surrounded by black silk-net-like energy, which gradually decomposed it.

At some point, Levenbeck slowly opened his eyes, “Someone has already discovered it.”

Beside him, Tanus was still standing there. His expression seemed to become more solemn, his facial features like weathered sculptures, and there was less emotional fluctuation in his eyes than before.

“Who needs my help?” The voice was equally cold.

Levenbeck shook his head: “Although they are just some small characters, once they are investigated, they will be captured by Li Ming’s intelligence system. He has come into contact with my blood seed and is not unfamiliar with this.”

“However, I didn’t expect that they were discovered until now. The coverage area is large enough, and the blood mist can be spread. Once it starts, no one can resist it.”

“The ultimate life form is right before our eyes.” Levenback’s eyes were blazing.

Tanus said in a cold tone, “Remember your mission.”

“I understand.” Levenbeck nodded. “The blood mist already has some of the characteristics of the Abyss Mist. It can spread in the void. Within the coverage area, the power of Lord Abyss can also more easily affect the main universe.”

“As for my promotion, I will only wait for the blood mist to expand to a certain extent, and then absorb a small amount. After all, if I become the Ultimate Life, I can also help Master Yuan to be active and provide some assistance.”

Seeing that Levenbeck’s thoughts were clear, Tanus nodded, “If Li Ming finds out and tries to stop you, how are you going to deal with it?”

“Stop it? He can’t stop it.” Levenback shook his head, with unimaginable madness in the depths of his eyes. “The blood mist can infect the void and spread at a terrifying speed. This is beyond all previous methods of viral transmission.”

It was not until the final product was produced under Yongyuan’s influence that he understood why the alchemical civilization regarded the Supreme Core as a powerful creation that could allow the alchemical source to transform again.

In the past, although his blood seeds could multiply rapidly inside the planet, they were far from being able to break through the boundaries of the atmosphere and spread to other places through the vacuum.

This means that no matter how powerful the Blood Seed is, it can only be confined to one planet.

The solution is very simple. Just seal off the planet and make sure no one is allowed to leave, and his blood seed will be powerless.

This is also the reason why many viruses in the past have always been unable to cause significant damage to the interstellar space.

The only medium of communication in the starry sky is living things. As long as the traffic is cut off, no matter what virus it is, it can only be confined to a planet.

But now the blood mist can permeate the void, what does this mean?
As long as one planet explodes, it can quickly ignite other nearby planets.

One civilization can infect other nearby civilizations and expand in all directions without any blind spots.

Moreover, he has completed a large-scale lurking. Once it breaks out at the same time, the blood mist crisis will engulf the entire Star Alliance like a tide.

Levenbeck said respectfully: “He can’t do anything alone, and can only watch the Abyss Lord descend.”

“That’s best.” Tanus nodded slowly and closed his eyes again.

………

“President!”

At the Star Alliance headquarters, Antigo’s personal secretary rushed in, looking terrified.

Antigo frowned slightly. He was looking through some documents, which turned out to be physical documents. Seeing this, he couldn’t help but close them and said in a deep voice: “What’s the matter? Why are you so panicked?”

As his personal secretary, he must have composure. Now he is so flustered, which makes him quite dissatisfied.

The secretary general’s face froze, he took a deep breath, tried to calm himself down, and then slowly said: “I just received news that Qinglong has mobilized all idle members of the Higher Life Forms United Organization to rush to the Star Alliance.”

“What!” Antigo’s heart skipped a beat. He stood up suddenly and asked repeatedly, “He’s coming to the Star Alliance? What’s going on? What does he want to do?!”

“talk!”

The secretary general’s face changed, and he said helplessly: “We don’t know why they came yet, but Li Ming seemed to have provided them with coordinates and asked them to go there.”

“Coordinates? Coordinates of what place?” Antigo asked repeatedly.

“I don’t know. The X-level lifeform that provided us with intelligence only dared to reveal this much.” The Secretary General shook his head. “We will have to wait until they arrive at the designated location to know the specific instructions.” “Qinglong…” Antigo’s face kept changing. For a moment, all kinds of speculations came to his mind. Decapitation tactics? Forced coercion?
After Qinglong took control of the empire, the Star Alliance and the Federation have been guarding against each other’s continued expansion and formed alliances in many places.

But he didn’t expect Qinglong to move so quickly.

Buzz–
The terminal device on the table suddenly vibrated. Antigo looked down and his face changed slightly. It was Qinglong.

“Get out.” Antigo said in a deep voice. The Secretary General subconsciously glanced at the terminal on the desk. He couldn’t see anything from his angle, so he turned around and left in a hurry.

Taking a deep breath, Antigo tried to calm himself before answering the call.

After pressing the button, a virtual screen popped up, and Li Ming’s overly young face appeared. His expression was solemn, and he said something shocking, “Chairman Antigo, the Star Alliance is going to be destroyed.”

Antigo, who had already prepared himself mentally, could not help but pause when he heard this, and said in a deep voice:
“Li Ming, don’t go too far. The Star Alliance is a complex structure of many civilizations. It is not like the Empire, which can be easily influenced by your words.”

“If you want to start a war, I believe that most civilizations will fight to the end!”

“Start a war?” Li Ming frowned, “Who said I want to start a war?”

Antigo frowned. “Then why do you claim that the Star Alliance is in danger of destruction? Besides you, who else in the interstellar space can pose a threat to the Star Alliance?”

It’s no wonder that Antigo thought this way. He had just heard that all the X-level life forms of the United Organization were rushing towards the Star Alliance, and then he received a communication from Li Ming, claiming that the Star Alliance was going to be destroyed. It seemed like a threat no matter how you looked at it.

Li Ming was speechless and shook his head, “Of course there is, right now. I have accurate intelligence to prove that there will be a major crisis within the Star Alliance.”

“A major crisis, how come I didn’t know about it?” Antigo looked suspicious.

“It’s normal that you don’t know.” Li Ming said as a matter of course, “There is a guy called Alchemy Baron who became a star traitor and surrendered to Yongyuan. He secretly created a large-scale pollution with the intention of accelerating the arrival of Yongyuan.”

Antigo blinked, a chill suddenly rushed to the top of his head, and his cheeks twitched.

Alchemy Baron? Eternal Abyss?
What the hell is going on? Such a big thing happened, but he didn’t receive any news at all, while Li Ming actually figured out the whole story. Whose territory is this Star Alliance?

Wait…Alchemist Baron?
Antigo suddenly realized something, and hurriedly spread out the physical information on the table and found the name of Alchemist Baron.

“…Using the Eternal Holy Throne, integrating the Overlord’s flesh and blood, artificially creating the Ultimate Life…”

“…The real identity is Levenbeck, the student who was killed by the forge hammer…”

This guy is really not a simple character.

Antigo’s expression changed, but he didn’t know whether he should believe what Qinglong said.

What if this guy is fooling me? When the time comes, people will come to kill me and I will still be stupid enough to have no reaction.

“That’s the thing. I know you might be a little stressed, but don’t do anything you shouldn’t do.” Li Ming said simply and straightforwardly, his tone very calm, “Otherwise, I will kill someone.”

“Of course, it would be best if I could provide some help.”

Antigo’s face was tense, but the other party ended the call without giving him a chance to respond.

Antigo opened and closed his clenched hands, weighing the pros and cons in his mind, frowning, not knowing whether he should believe it or not.

Buzz–
Suddenly, the desktop terminal vibrated again. He subconsciously looked at it and quickly answered it.

Malcolm’s face popped up, his expression solemn, “Qinglong has contacted you.”

“He told you too?” Antigo was surprised.

“Yeah.” Malcolm sighed, “It hasn’t been a few years since I last took a break, and this kind of thing happened again.”

“Do you believe him?” Antigo understood Malcolm’s underlying meaning.

“How can you not believe it?” Malcolm asked back, “I know what you are thinking. Don’t worry about whether it is true or not. Just declare the Star Alliance to be in a state of emergency, remove all X-level life forms, and go to the target of the Higher Life Forms United Organization.”

“I will send someone there too.”

Antigo was stunned for a moment, then he realized that he had been stuck in a dead end and actually didn’t need to care whether what Qinglong said was true or not.

If it is true, they will help; if it is false, they will fight back.

“I understand.” Antigo suddenly understood and nodded heavily.

Seeing his reaction, Malcolm couldn’t help but sigh, “I hope this is false.”

“Hmm?” Antigo was confused again.

Malcolm said sadly, “Even if Qinglong attacks, at least he won’t kill us all, and we are not without the ability to resist. But if it is really Yongyuan… Qinglong can’t resist, let alone us.”

Antigo froze again. After thinking about it carefully, it was indeed true. This matter might as well be Qinglong’s conspiracy.

It was not until Malcolm finished communicating that he gradually came back to his senses, with a mixture of fatigue, helplessness and anger on his face, and he was ready to issue a warning order.

……

Only Anduin, Anatoly and a few others did not cause any noise when they followed Li Ming.

But when further orders were issued, most of the X-level life forms went to the Star Alliance. This sudden action attracted the attention of many people.

Since the Battle of Empires, many people have speculated that once Qing Long has control over the Empire, he will turn his attention to the Covenant or the Federation.

Many people speculated about the Federation. After all, the Star Alliance was too complicated, and it was difficult to support a puppet that could control the overall situation.

Unexpectedly, the first to take action would be the Star Alliance.

At the same time, the Star Alliance also issued a warning order to mobilize all X-level life forms.

For a time, the atmosphere of war was like a rainstorm, and people were in panic.

It was also during this process that on a certain planet in the sea of ​​stars, the scenery became beautiful and the atmosphere was peaceful and stable.

Today seemed to be some kind of holiday, the entire planet was celebrating, and the streets were crowded with cheering beings.

But suddenly, the ground shook violently. Just as the earthquake warning was issued, scarlet mist spewed out of the fissure, like billions of angry pythons, smashing the crystalline rock layer and breaking out of the ground.

The surface that first came into contact with the fog boiled instantly, the city fell quickly, and the buildings oozed pus and blood like skinned beasts. The skin of living things instantly carbonized into ash, and the exposed muscle fibers gradually melted away.

The sea water boiled into gelatinous plasma, and in less than ten minutes, the entire planet was as if it was covered by a scarlet filter and fell into deathly silence.

The strangest thing was that the blood-colored fog actually broke through the boundaries of the atmosphere, dyed the starry sky blood-colored, and gradually spread to the surroundings.
