357: Mech Race Ascends to Heaven V

For the powerful, the hardest thing to grasp is when someone refuses to follow the rules; it's quite irritating.

Because if they don't follow the rules, it's impossible to think or communicate on the same wavelength.

And now.

Ye Su was experiencing the logic of the powerful for the first time.

Equivalent exchange.

I'll be the chess piece, I'll do the work.

No problem.

But what about the compensation?

You can't just say that because I'm awesome, you should get me to work for free.

The universe doesn't operate like that.

Otherwise, wouldn't everything fall into chaos?

And so.

Equivalent exchange.

Became the only true criterion.

Ye Su's current promotion was being safeguarded by the big shots behind the Zerg Swarm.

timing, geographical advantage, and human harmony power.

All were perfect and peerless.

As long as Ye Su didn't have any issues, then—but of course, Ye Su had an issue.

He couldn't promote yet.

The Transcendence stacks hadn't been built up yet.

So.

After the pillar of light extinguished, Ye Su looked exactly as if his promotion had failed.

"Wow, no way. With these conditions, anyone you called over could have promoted."

Burning Star was stunned.

As an Ascension Six, he could naturally see certain things.

For instance, there were big shots manipulating timing to feed Ye Su.

With this kind of force-feeding, the possibility of failure was almost non-existent.

But Ye Su, of all people, had actually failed.

"Eh, you actually didn't die?"

Burning Star looked at the perfectly fine Ye Su, even more astonished.

Looking closer, the guy seemed to have become a tiny bit stronger.

A bold guess formed in Burning Star's heart.

"Could you be one of those Timing Devourers?"

Burning Star didn't say it out loud.

Once this thought emerged, the more he felt it made sense.

Timing Devourer, an extremely special talent.

For such beings, promotion was extremely difficult.

However, they wouldn't die every time a promotion failed; instead, it was like a progress bar, they would gain some progress.

This would guarantee the success rate of the next attempt.

Generally, after three to five attempts at a single Realm, they would succeed.

The promotion and the resources consumed were both incredibly massive.

But the combat power of such people was also extremely strong.

They belonged to the high-investment, high-reward category.

The reason Burning Star didn't make a scene was because this idea was just too damn reasonable.

One had to realize that not just anyone could catch the eye of the big shots; you either needed extraordinary talent or an extraordinary background.

For an ordinary person, no matter how much was invested, they had no value if the output wasn't high.

Only when there was sufficient output would people invest.

"No wonder the Star Spirit Clan invested in him, and now the Zerg Swarm has taken an interest too."

"So it turns out there's this layer of connection."

"A Timing Devourer, if nurtured to the level of Ascension Nine, would indeed be terrifyingly formidable."

"Perhaps the Golden Crow already saw through this, which is why they had us contact Ye Su."

"If that's the case, then all the logic becomes smooth."

Burning Star was engaging in some terrifying mental gymnastics.

In fact, it could only be so.

After all, something like Transcendence had never appeared in the universe.

In the history of the universe, Timing Devourers had appeared, so everyone was forced to think from this angle.

Currently, almost everyone investing in Ye Su shared this thought.

In the universe, there is no love without a reason.

"Failed again."

After returning, Ye Su spread his hands.

In Burning Star's eyes, this act was nothing more than putting on a show.

One just had to get used to it.

"Ye Su, the problem now is that the Mechanical Race is attacking."

Burning Star said.

This Broodmother was defined as doing business.

But the Mechanical Race didn't care about that.

They charged into the Zerg Swarm's Star Domain, and as long as it was Zerg, they killed on sight.

"Are there any of those very strong, big-shot level existences?"

Ye Su asked seriously.

"No."

Burning Star said;

"It should be an Ascension Five level fleet, just right for dealing with a Broodmother."

"Of course, if I were to step in, then naturally there would be no problem."

Ye Su stared at Burning Star.

Something's not right with you.

You Golden Crow Clan basically don't look for trouble, so why would you say something like stepping in yourself?

Ye Su didn't know that Burning Star had over-interpreted things himself and wanted to increase his investment.

To the Golden Crow Clan, this kind of matter was naturally not a big deal in the face of the struggles between Great Clans.

It was better to mix into the investment in Ye Su.

Perhaps there would be a chance to get in touch with the big shots of the Great Clans.

As long as they got in touch, many things could be negotiated.

"Don't panic, I'll take a look first."

Ye Su said.

He randomly transformed into a Zerg form and took the newly born elite Zerg Swarm to check the situation.

This Hive wasn't original, and there weren't that many elite Zerg.

He didn't know if they could match an Ascension Five combat power.

A Broodmother's combat power came from the swarm.

A Broodmother who completely lost her swarm was basically very weak in combat power.

Soon.

A massive fleet appeared in the distance.

That was the combat formation of the Mechanical Race.

"Ye Su, the long-range attacks of the Mechanical Race are very fierce."

Burning Star said;

"Ask the Broodmother if she has constructed a defense system; if not, then we need to run!"

Great Clans have no shortfalls; even the Zerg Swarm has large-scale defense mechanisms.

It just depended on whether this new Hive had established one.

Ye Su nodded;

"It's already established."

"The deciding factor should be in the individual clashes."

"The Mechanical Race will scatter small combat units."

Besides that.

The Broodmother also revealed a piece of information.

That was, the fight with the Mechanical Race had to be fought to the end; only in this way could she condense the timing she needed for promotion.

In other words.

The Broodmother wanted to promote to Ascension Six during this battle.

This information made Ye Su very awkward.

After the Broodmother promoted to Ascension Six, her intelligence would soar.

At that time, her relationship with Ye Su would be hard to define.

Help her, or sabotage her?

What a huge dilemma.

"Actually, I can take a gamble."

Ye Su thought to himself.

The letter from the future only contained one piece of information, and that was the North Star Sector.

And all these current events were sequels extending from the North Star Sector.

In other words, if Ye Su didn't have any problems in the North Star Sector, then these sequels wouldn't have any major problems either.

The Broodmother was the only second generation of Flesh and Blood Power in the Zerg Swarm.

And he himself, along with Great Xia, could also be considered a second generation of Flesh and Blood Power.

Maybe everyone could find common ground.

Take a gamble.

Ye Su also needed to start looking for some allies for himself.

Lu Yiyi alone wasn't enough.

An Ascension Six Broodmother, plus her status as the core of the pheromone network, had some weight.

Boom—the Mechanical Race's warships.

They started firing from a distance.

Beams of light crashed directly toward them.

The power of these light beams could easily crush a planet.

In fact.

When they fired in unison, they could make an entire star system shake.

If this was the standard combat power of Ascension Five, then Ye Su had to admit it.

Ascension Five was the beginning of a qualitative change in an Ascender's combat power.

Buzz—a huge red energy shield appeared.

This was the ability the Broodmother possessed after having a Hive.

Countless light beams bombarded the shield, causing it to vibrate continuously.

But fortunately.

It was blocked.

Then.

A sheet of silver appeared in the Void Realm ahead.

Those were the individual units of the Mechanical Race.

In that case—what remained was the slaughter between the Zerg Swarm and the mechanical swarm.

This was also the special combat mode of these two races.

If it were any other Ascension Five—they would probably be worn down to death!

"Let's go, let's see what the Mechanical Race's combat power is like."

Ye Su gave a low shout.

With his bodyguard in tow and leading the elite Zerg Swarm, he charged directly forward to meet them.
