Chapter 1054: Chapter 542: A Video from the Red River Star Stream—Intimidation
"And you?" Reynolds looked at the others again.
Gusta’s eyes flickered slightly and he said, "The Mechanical Transformation is a highly standardized evolution path, and the life form itself has made great sacrifices, so it’s naturally qualified."
What exactly is this guy doing?
Mikhail didn’t know why Reynolds wanted this assurance, vaguely feeling something was amiss.
"Then I have no problem." Reynolds finally felt content.
Everyone just felt puzzled; the known limits of Mechanical Transformation are low, constrained by the technological limitations of various disciplines, making it impossible to tread the Ultimate Path.
Even if Azure Dragon’s technology is strong, it can’t be ridiculously strong. In the past, Azure Dragon’s combat style always relied on auxiliary combat from other mechanical bodies.
Without other mechanical bodies, his own strength should not be high.
Yalta frowned and continued, "When will Azure Dragon arrive, surely he wouldn’t use this method to dodge a challenge?"
"Arrogant..." Anduin felt dissatisfied.
Reynolds raised his eyebrows and then sneered a few times.
"What exactly are you up to?" Mikhail couldn’t shake his unease, and seeing Reynolds’ sneer made him increasingly anxious, communicating secretly.
"Nothing." Reynolds still denied, regardless of how much Mikhail asked, he no longer responded.
"Let’s stop here; there will be plenty of opportunities to meet Lord Azure Dragon later." Gusta interrupted, "Saint Emperor Adam, President Malcolm, and Chairman Gutierrez have sent congratulatory video messages, which we haven’t watched yet."
Upon hearing this, Yalta collected his expression, "That’s correct. There’ll be plenty of opportunities later, and Lord Azure Dragon can’t be ’busy’ forever."
Gusta stepped aside, the surrounding light dimmed, and on the giant screen behind him, light and shadow flickered. With a gentle smile, Saint Emperor Adam appeared first--
"Members of the High-level Life Form Union..."
"So, Lord Azure Dragon’s challenge hasn’t been scheduled?" Someone murmured below, "Then, I’ll try challenging him someday..."
"Fool..." Someone sneered, "Yalta has the backing of the Star Alliance to mock Azure Dragon; who do you think you are? Council Seat challenges don’t allow using mechanical bodies, but the rule doesn’t apply at your doorstep."
The opponent countered, "Who humiliated him? Just taking this opportunity to spar, it’s rare to encounter such a chance, and there’s no life-threatening risk."
"If you really win, you could even sit on the Council Seat for half a day as well."
These video messages are not very interesting, mostly just for show. Everyone was still discussing the events that just occurred, each with different thoughts.
At this moment, the screen suddenly blurred, and the gentle smile of Adam was gradually stretched and distorted, the sound also became strange.
Eventually, the entire screen went dark.
"What’s this?" Everyone was slightly stunned, realizing something had gone wrong.
Even such a big event can go wrong; the professional standards of the interstellar alliance employees are increasingly inadequate.
No one paid much attention, except for the staff nearby, sweating profusely, fiddling with the smart terminal in their hand, only to find it wouldn’t respond.
"...Trouble, we’re probably going to have a hard time leaving here..." A voice suddenly sounded within the pitch-black screen.
Mikhail’s face subtly changed, and then his mechanical pupils shrank sharply; the sound wave matched his own voice!
"...Who would have thought, this place actually..."
As another deep voice followed, the pitch-black screen gradually brightened.
The video’s owner seemed to be standing at a porthole, looking out through it, seeing an ocean resembling black oil.
The surrounding void was raging with boiling storms, various energy flows traversing through it.
"This voice sounds a bit familiar..." Anatoli frowned, his gaze landing on the changed expressions of Mikhail and the slightly proud Reynolds.
"This scene, why does it look like the depths of Red River Star Stream..." Anduin’s expression was incredulous, and then he realized, could it be...
He had once explored that area deeply, so naturally felt familiar.
Everyone was puzzled but kept their eyes fixed on the screen, which shifted perspectives, suddenly capturing a fleet maintaining stability in the void.
"The Empire and Federation emblems, could this be... that incident?" Nokes felt a shiver in his heart, instantly realizing something.
"This... could it be Red River Star Stream."
The hall was buzzing with discussion; everyone present was an X Level Life Form, slightly aware of the major events that occurred recently in Red River Star Stream.
Moreover, this major event had been influencing the interstellar situation in secrecy, its numerous battles and even the Star Alliance’s actions involving Azure Dragon’s students seemed related to it.
Some were curious, but all returned empty-handed.
"Who’s broadcasting!?"
A sudden angry shout erupted, coming from an Empire X Level Life Form, looking displeased, "Stop it!"
"Stop it!" The Federation members echoed, stepping forward.
But before their aura could burst forth, it was suppressed by an even deeper, terrifying energy.
"I dare anyone to act rashly." Gusta kept his eyes fixed on the screen, but the terrifying aura emanating from him was palpable, not something anyone dared to ignore.
The three members of the Star Alliance had already shielded the six from the Federation and Empire.
Though seemingly allied, their stances had clearly flipped.
The faces of the Empire and Federation members were extremely grim.
However, at this moment, Mikhail breathed a sigh of relief; the broadcast video was apparently edited, without showing the corpse.
Even so, the energy power within his body almost exceeded its load, and he immediately established a link with Reynolds, in a tone close to gnashing his teeth, he scolded, "Fool, what are you doing!"
