This is really not mechanical ascension

Chapter 703: Chapter 366: Whoever dares to touch Li Ming, I, Azure Dragon, will retaliate at all costs!_2

Strands of silver radiance lit up, intertwining with a mysterious and graceful form, instantly enveloping Aistelle and the others. Diwusi’s expression remained stoic.

Li Ming’s position was dangerously close to Abel and the others—too close for comfort. Any misstep could likely involve the others.

Diaz moved decisively, completely disregarding consequences. His eyes were cold; he simply wanted to make a huge commotion, one that Prince Costat couldn’t suppress.

After all, Costat wouldn’t dare kill him.

Li Ming wasn’t idly waiting either. His heart was beating faster as he swiftly switched to [Talos’ Heart] upon Diaz’s appearance, converting all its functions into a defense buff.

As soon as the attack launched, thanks to the unique properties of the Control System, Tank Guard emerged, its icy metallic mecha enveloping Li Ming’s entire body.

Boom!

The black-scaled arm descended, its hand morphing into a ferocious beast head with bloodthirsty red eyes glimmering and fiery scarlet flames spewing from its nostrils.

The beast’s sharp fangs exploded into dazzling sparks at the instant they came into contact with the Metal Armor, a grating friction screech piercing loudly as though trying to tear through the human eardrum.

The beast head’s throat let out a deep, guttural roar. Each note it emitted was brimming with endless ferocity and rage. It twisted and writhed madly, pouring every ounce of its power into trying to crush the Metal Armor to bits.

Suddenly, black energy exploded outwards. Diaz’s expression faltered slightly as he felt a peculiar counterforce surge back through his arm.

How did that mecha deploy so quickly?
