Special effects: Simultaneous time travel, starting with the armor of light and shadow.

With Bei Miao and Dong Shan joining the fray, the outcome of the battle became a foregone conclusion.

[Lightning strike!]

As the silver-white battle axe lightly touched the white ultimate strike inscription, the energy of the golden shadow stone merged into the thunder axe.

[The Thunder Axe's Thunderous Slice of the Calligraphy, shattering evil and destroying all malevolent forces, slices through them like mud, scattering chaos completely!]

Synthesized mechanical sounds echoed through the forest.

Without any hesitation, west Zhao unleashed the Thunder Axe, imbued with the energy of the Golden Shadow Stone, and slammed it into the toad beast's body, which was covered in pustules.

"Croak!"

With a piercing scream, the toad beast's body exploded.

Two cards then appeared in mid-air.

Aside from the Toad Beast's own magic scroll, the remaining card is the Nine of Spades – the Jaguar Undead!

After sealing the magic scroll, west Zhao put away the other card and turned his gaze to the battlefield on the other side.

Bei Miao attacked in anger, and with Nan Yan supporting him from the side, Ying Ba couldn't hold out for long before dissolving the fusion.

boom!

"you?"

As Shadow Tyrant looked at the four armored warriors in front of him, he was about to speak when he suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.

"He's King Kai's lackey, and you're actually helping him?!"

With that, Shadow King closed his eyes with endless resentment, and the Earth Tiger Summoner in his hand fell to the side.

"Kaiou?"

Bei Miao frowned deeply.

For some reason, upon hearing this name, he felt a surge of disgust, which caused his attitude towards west Zhao to change accordingly.

"Trying to sow discord even on your deathbed? Do you think we're that stupid?"

Dongshan curled his lip in disdain, then nudged Xizhao with his shoulder.

"Brother, don't take what these people from the Shadow Realm say too seriously. We're all summoners of the Light and Shadow Armor; we definitely trust you more!"

(Shadow Master: Who isn't an armor summoner? Did I get this Earth Tiger Armor as a free gift with a phone top-up?)

west Zhao turned his head slightly, and the blue glasses reflected Dong Shan's figure.

"Our ERP research lab is specifically responsible for the battles between Armor Heroes and Alien Beasts..."

Dongshan began by describing the benefits of joining the ERP Research Lab, and concluded by extending a sincere invitation:

"Why don't you join us? We can fight together and support each other!"

Bei Miao watched coldly from the side, his eyes filled with scrutiny and vigilance.

The Shadow Master's words had just left a thorn in his heart.

Nan Yan didn't feel much about this, because he knew west Zhao's past experiences and personality.

Whether west Zhao agrees or not, he can accept it.

Join them?

Upon hearing this, west Zhao's heart skipped a beat, but was immediately overwhelmed by endless bitterness.

Can someone who grew up in darkness truly stand in the sunlight and fight alongside these people?

And what will happen to Bing'er if he joins?

In addition, the Golden Shadow Stone is still under King Kai's control.

Even if he joins, what's the point?

silence!

west Zhao silently turned around, took a step, and transformed into a silver-white afterimage, disappearing into the depths of the forest.

"Hmm, what's going on?"

Dongshan stared in astonishment at Xizhao's disappearing figure.

If you agree or disagree, then give me an answer!

What does it mean to turn around and leave without saying a word?

"What else could it mean? It's obviously a rejection!"

Bei Miao snorted coldly.

"I think the people in the Shadow Realm are right, he's King Realm's lackey!"

"Now they're probably feeling guilty!"

Dongshan frowned deeply: "Don't jump to conclusions before you've figured out the specifics!"

"He must have his own reasons, but I believe he will eventually join us!"

Nan Yan looked in the direction west Zhao had left and said.

-

Film industry base.

After the Shadow Lord was driven out, the place was occupied by the King of the Realm.

At this moment, west Zhao had already deactivated his transformation. He was wearing a white coat and stood quietly below the throne.

Directly in front of him, King Kai sat on his throne, his half-human, half-machine face appearing particularly ferocious in the dim light.

"You said you encountered an Armor Hero, tell us the details!"

King Kai was moving his mechanical prosthetic limbs.

Only in this way can he forget his physical defects.

west Zhao remained calm and recounted the entire battle in detail.

"...Finally, those armored warriors suddenly appeared and helped me defeat the Toad Beast and take down Shadow Lord."

Throughout, west Zhao's voice remained completely calm, as if he were talking about a trivial matter that had nothing to do with him.

"Oh?"

Upon hearing this, King Kai suddenly stopped what he was doing.

The protruding scarlet mechanical eyeball shifted slightly, staring down at west Zhao.

"You mean Armor Hero... helped you?"

King Kai slowly closed his only physical eye and fell into deep thought.

A moment later.

King Kai suddenly opened his eyes, a smile appearing on his face.

It only appeared particularly ferocious against the backdrop of that semi-mechanized environment.

"Xizhao, I need you to do something for me!" King Jie suddenly spoke.

"King of the Realm, please speak," west Zhao said calmly.

"I need you to accept their invitation and then infiltrate the interior of the Light and Shadow Armor!"

"Agreed to the invitation?!" west Zhao's eyes narrowed suddenly.

"That's right!"

King Kai bent down and patted west Zhao on the shoulder with his mechanical prosthetic arm:

"After you infiltrate, I want you to find a chance to steal all the Light and Shadow Stones!"

"Without those Light and Shadow Stones, what are those so-called Armor Warriors?"

"King of the Realm, that's unlikely, isn't it?" west Zhao frowned deeply, his words carrying a hint of resistance.

"They didn't accept their invitation before, but now they suddenly agree. There's clearly something fishy going on here."

"Those armored warriors will definitely be on high alert against me!"

"If I arouse their suspicion, it's a small matter if I'm exposed, but it's a big deal if it ruins your plans!"

"impossible?!"

King Kai threw his head back and laughed: "The word 'impossible' doesn't exist in my dictionary!"

"I'll arrange the process; you just need to follow my instructions."

"Those self-proclaimed righteous armored warriors are actually the easiest to fool!"

After saying that, King Kai raised his hand and drew electricity, summoning a new row of magic scrolls, a total of twenty!

Furthermore, the combat power of these mutated mutant beasts is incomparable to that of lower-level mutant beasts.

King Kai drew one card from the pile and tossed it into the cultivation machine next to him.

During the nurturing process, King Kai turned to look at Xi Zhao:

"Don't those armored warriors like to help each other? Then I'll give them another chance to help each other!"

"I'm going to send the jellyfish monster to wreak havoc in the city, and then I need you to go and stop it!"

"Me?" west Zhao was taken aback.

"Yes, it's you! You have to stop the alien beasts like a real armored warrior!"

The Realm King said coldly, "But remember this: in this battle, you are only allowed to lose, not win!"

"Not only must we lose, but we must lose as miserably as possible!"

"It would be best if, in order to protect the citizens, he were severely injured by the jellyfish beast, to the point that even his armor could not be maintained."

"That way, they'll definitely take you back to base to heal, and then you can naturally join them."

"I'll have Bing'er act in this scene with you."
