Liu Yun was not worried about the imbalance of power for the time being; after all, he still had the old man inside the Crystal to help him manage things, and he could fully display his true strength when necessary.

As the newborn power within Liu Yun gradually stabilized, he suddenly opened his eyes, which shone with an unprecedented brilliance. An indescribable excitement and ecstasy surged in his chest, as if thousands of troops were galloping within, eager to be unleashed. He took a deep breath, trying to calm his inner agitation, but that power was like a wild horse without a bridle, difficult to restrain.

"Boom!" With a deafening roar, the evolution pod Liu Yun was in suddenly erupted with dazzling light, followed by metal fragments flying everywhere, as if a small bomb had detonated inside. The sturdy shell of the evolution pod, under the impact of Liu Yun's sudden surge of power, was as fragile as paper and disintegrated instantly.

Liu Yun's figure, accompanied by a gust of wind, shot out from the shattered evolution pod and hovered in mid-air. He was surrounded by faint blue light and tiny electric arcs, like a god descending from the sky, exuding a heart-stoppingly powerful aura from head to toe.

"Hahahaha!" Liu Yun laughed wildly inside the base, his laughter filled with both the ecstasy of his breakthrough in strength and the longing for infinite future possibilities. His laughter echoed through the empty mechanical base, as if even space itself were trembling because of it.

At this moment, the Machine Race Clone began to remind Liu Yun to stay calm and not let the power go to his head, as this was their own base.

The voice of the Machine Race Clone rang in Liu Yun's mind, carrying a hint of composure and calmness: "Main body, please be sure to stay calm. Although your power has broken through, do not let this power cloud your judgment. This is our base, and any unnecessary destruction could lead to unpredictable consequences."

Upon hearing this, Liu Yun's laughter stopped abruptly. He quickly reined in his outward-flowing aura, and his gaze became deep and restrained once again. He realized that his actions just now were indeed a bit out of control; as the master of the base, he had to take responsibility for protecting it.

"You're right, it was my oversight." Liu Yun responded in his mind, and at the same time, he felt a warm and familiar power surging from somewhere within his body; it was the support and help provided by the Machine Race Clone.

Just then, a ray of light shone from the Crystal on Liu Yun's chest, and subsequently, a tight-fitting combat suit with a metallic luster slowly appeared before him. The surface of this suit flowed with complex patterns, as if it contained endless technological mysteries; it was the Venom nano-suit created by the Machine Race Clone.

"This is the 'Venom' nano-suit, specially customized according to your body data. It uses the most advanced nanotechnology to perfectly fit your body, providing unparalleled protection and enhancement effects. More importantly, it possesses self-repair and stealth functions, making it an indispensable partner in battle." The voice of the Machine Race Clone sounded again, introducing the magical features of this suit to Liu Yun.

Liu Yun's eyes lit up. He reached out and gently touched the surface of the suit, feeling its delicate yet tough texture. He knew that the appearance of this suit would greatly enhance his combat power and survivability.

"What a magical suit!" Liu Yun exclaimed. Then, with a thought, the suit acted like a living thing, quickly covering his body and merging with him.

This thing could even exert reverse control over ordinary people, and to Liu Yun, it was also terrifyingly and tightly bonded to him like a parasite, allowing Liu Yun's combat power to receive a massive boost.

Venom Suit:

After putting on the "Venom" nano-suit, Liu Yun felt an unprecedented sense of power and comfort. He leaped lightly and easily hovered in the air, the blue light and electric arcs surrounding him appearing even more dazzling.

After Venom and its host combine, there are also obvious differences; if the host is a good person, it can make them braver in battle and become a superhero, while if the host is a bad person, it will turn them into an extremely evil supervillain.

Even for an average person, wearing the Venom suit can grant them the combat power of a powerful martial artist; other than demonstrating that Machine Race technology is invincible, this thing has no other use.

"This time, in addition to the 'Venom' nano-suit, I have also prepared a more convenient means of transportation for you—the Instant Teleportation Device. This will greatly facilitate your quick return to the base during future interstellar travels."

As the words of the Machine Race Clone fell, a complex and exquisite device appeared out of thin air in front of Liu Yun. This device was made of a special alloy, its surface flowing with faint energy light, and in the center was a circular teleportation gate flickering with a faint glow. It looked both ancient and advanced, as if it contained the deepest mysteries of the universe.

This type of micro-teleportation gate has a very short range and can only be used within a range of one light-second. If one were to force the use of the gate for longer distances, it would only result in the user being torn apart by a space storm, or if they were lucky, being dumped into a shattered subspace.

"As the base requires more and more energy and needs to expand its scale, I also suggest that you use the teleportation gate to relocate the base to another location!"

The Machine Race Clone gave a new suggestion, and Liu Yun expressed his full agreement. Staying on the edge of the Jiangnan base was simply too dangerous; they had to relocate!

"Good, activate space teleportation, target: Iron Armored Dragon Stadium!"

Liu Yun immediately gave the order to move the base to the stadium where the Iron Armored Dragon was located, which would also make it convenient for him to "restock."

With a flash of teleportation light, everything here was moved away, leaving only a few guard robots wandering about. They all now possessed the strength of mid-level War Generals, guarding the last traces of the base here.

The Iron Armored Dragon was also dumbfounded; it had completely become a dragon-tooth provider, and the new base site was underground, requiring the Iron Armored Dragon and its subordinates to help dig out a huge underground space.

However, Liu Yun would now inlay the Iron Armored Dragon with dentures, which were dragon teeth cast from high-strength alloy, even harder than the Iron Armored Dragon's original teeth!

With a mouthful of steel teeth, the Iron Armored Dragon worked very quickly, digging out a huge underground cavity. Inside the underground cavity, there was also a massive teleportation gate displaying the clear, blue sky. This was the skylight of the base, though this skylight was at the bottom of the base.

"Continue, continue, build the space battleship, let's call it Excalibur Brave! I will be a space marshal in the future."

Liu Yun's voice echoed in the empty base, carrying an indescribable excitement. Our book is about how to build a spaceship, and now that the goal has been achieved, how could one not be happy?

The Machine Race Clone did not let Liu Yun down. It quickly mobilized all available resources within the base, including rare metals, high-level energy crystals, and countless precision manufacturing equipment. The entire underground space seemed to be activated; countless mechanical arms, like nimble dancers, drew precise trajectories in the air, accurately splicing huge components together one by one.

As time passed, a massive space battleship gradually revealed its true form. This battleship, named "Excalibur Brave," had a design that fused the most cutting-edge technology with the most ancient mythological elements. The hull was streamlined yet majestic, its surface covered with a special coating capable of absorbing and converting cosmic rays, making it an almost invisible hunter in the deep universe.

Anti-gravity devices, subspace engines, inertial neutralization systems, biosphere simulators—numerous systems were quickly constructed under the dancing mechanical arms. The main cannon of this thing could unleash combat power at the peak of the Planetary level with a single shot!

As time passed, the Excalibur Brave would sooner or later turn from a blueprint concept into a reality before his eyes, and at that time, Liu Yun would be able to face his imaginary enemy, the Golden Horned Beast.
