If I let you open a toy store, would you mass-produce Emperor Armor?

Three underground passages.

The surviving special operations team members slumped amidst the chaos, staring blankly ahead.

They were somewhat dazed, unable to process what was happening before their eyes.

"That's... over?" Zhou Lei clutched the bloody hole in his shoulder, his lips trembling, unable to believe his eyes.

Li Daoyuan gripped the cracked alloy floor with both hands, struggling to stand up.

These hands, which had once torn apart second-tier magical beasts, were now trembling uncontrollably.

Even a peak third-tier cultivator who had cultivated diligently for decades was nothing compared to that attack just now.

The red light flashed.

The red armor in front of her disintegrated, and Lin Wan'er gasped for breath. The moment the armor fell away, the red and black metal camera landed in her hand.

Lin Wan'er grabbed Xing Tian's summoning device with lightning speed, as if she were fighting for her life.

Without a second thought, she wiped away the nonexistent dust from her combat uniform, quickly stuffed it into the inner pocket of her chest, and then zipped the zipper all the way up.

After doing all this, she looked up and glanced around warily.

Li Daoyuan swallowed hard and walked over with faltering steps.

"Team Leader Lin..." Li Daoyuan stammered.

As the president of the Jiangcheng branch, he spoke to his subordinates with the same cautiousness he usually showed when addressing superior officers.

He stared intently at Lin Wan'er's hand, which was covering her chest.

"Is this rule-level weapon you're wearing the latest secret weapon developed by the Defense Force?" Li Daoyuan's voice was strained, wanting an answer that could piece together his shattered understanding a little.

Lin Wan'er took a deep breath, her expression complex.

"Not from headquarters." Lin Wan'er stared at Li Daoyuan, her tone stiff and resolute. "I bought it at a bankrupt toy store in the old street for 98,000."

Ninety-eight thousand?!

These three words, falling in the empty underground passage, dealt even more damage than the troll's roar just now!

Zhou Lei's eyes rolled back, and he almost fainted.

Li Daoyuan gasped, his chest heaving violently.

Ninety-eight thousand?

Something capable of instantly vaporizing a peak third-tier troll, or even severing the laws of space, costs only 98,000?!

The defense force spends tens of billions of dollars a year, yet it can't even produce a single piece of this armor!

At the same time.

The second floor of the Light and Shadow Toy Store on the old street.

Song Yang leaned comfortably back in his recliner, holding an enamel mug with the words "Serve the People" printed on it in both hands.

In his mind, system notifications were coming in rapid succession.

[Ding! Detected that Li Daoyuan's worldview has been shattered! Emotional value +1800!]

[Ding! Zhou Lei's cognitive dissonance detected! Emotional value +1200!]

[Ding! Detected a collective shock at the Defense Force's Abyss Energy Monitoring Station! Mood value +4500!]

The overflow of laws generated by Xing Tian's ultimate killing technique just now directly burned all the detection devices of the Jiangcheng Defense Force's high-ranking officers.

More than ten kilometers away in a research institute, a group of senior experts were pointing at the broken-down instruments and questioning their existence.

Song Yang blew on the goji berries on the water's surface and took a sip of hot tea.

Open the panel.

[Current total sentiment score: 648000.]

What a bumper harvest!

[Ding! Emotional value reached the target. Congratulations, host, for unlocking a new series of tokusatsu blueprints!]

[Unlock Core Weapon: Decade Driver Blueprint!]

Song Yang paused, his hand holding the teacup still.

On the virtual shelf next to the armor of light and shadow, light converged, and a magenta driver model slowly emerged.

The belt is engraved with an intricate knight's crest at its center; even a mere phantom exudes an oppressive aura that suggests the ability to trample the entire world underfoot.

"The Decade belt?"

Song Yang opened the attribute panel, skipping the basic introductions and focusing his attention on the core abilities.

[Type: Dimensional Destroyer, Rule-Level Borrowing Weapon]

[Core Ability: Mastery of all things; through intention and spatial laws, forcibly analyze and extract the core abilities of other spiritual warriors or abyssal beasts in the current plane, and imprint them as exclusive mastery cards.]

[Note: As a Kamen Rider passing by, there's no power you can't use. If there is, it's because the card hasn't been printed yet.]

Song Yang's lips slowly curled up.

The battle between Yanlong and Xingtian is about the summoner's willpower and bloodline, but the Imperial Knight Belt is about brute force.

Whether it's third-tier psionic energy or high-tier venom, as long as it's successfully analyzed, turned into a card, and inserted into the driver, it's all mine!

In this world where the laws of spiritual martial arts and the power of the abyss intertwine, this ability is far too domineering and unreasonable!

"Manifestation," Song Yang murmured to himself.

[Deducting 500,000 emotion points, realization complete!]

A magenta ripple appeared in the void, and a driver with a metallic texture fell out of thin air, which Song Yang caught steadily in his hand.

The touch was icy cold, and the pure white core ring at the center of the driver emitted a very faint glow. The matching card holder automatically hung on the side of the waist.

Song Yang casually pulled out a basic transformation card, which had a cool portrait of a barcode mask printed on it.

"It's a good item." Song Yang fiddled with the belt and smacked his lips. "I just wonder which sucker in Jiangcheng can afford this price."

now.

Lingwu Association.

The searchlights illuminated half the sky.

Seven heavy psionic transport planes hovered above the Jiangcheng Martial Arts Association building.

As the rope descended, Jiangcheng Town Garrison Commander Lei Lie leaped down, his fourth-tier spiritual warrior body smashing a half-meter-deep crater into the asphalt road.

"Seal off the building, activate the annihilation array!" Lei Lie shouted at the top of his lungs.

He received a plea for help from Li Daoyuan, who reported that a peak-level third-tier Soul Devouring Giant had appeared on the third underground level.

That thing is naturally able to suppress spiritual energy. Even someone as powerful as him at the fourth level risks being drained of his energy. If he's not careful, half of Jiangcheng could fall!

Lei Lie drew the heavy psionic battle axe from his back and led the guard company to smash through the gate and rush into the third underground level.

The first thing you see is the completely collapsed alloy wall and the ruined defensive arrays scattered all over the ground.

However, there was no sign of any magical beasts, and not even a trace of the abyss could be smelled in the air.

Lei Lie strode to the center of the ruins, where Li Daoyuan sat slumped, his hair disheveled and his clothes stained with blood, completely lacking the imposing presence of the Jiangcheng branch president.

Lin Wan'er stood to the side, her posture upright, her right hand tightly clutching the pocket of her tactical vest.

"Old Li!" Lei Lie grabbed Li Daoyuan by the collar. "Where are the magical beasts? Where are the cult members? The entire defense force was mobilized, and you've shown me this empty field?"

Li Daoyuan slapped Lei Lie's hand away and pointed to a puddle of white ash on the ground not far away.

"There."

Lei Lie followed the gaze and saw nothing but a pile of dust.

"Are you kidding me?" Lei Lie's gaze sharpened as he swept over the surroundings. "A peak third-tier Soul Devouring Troll, ten meters tall, with hide as thick as iron, and you're telling me it turned to ash?"

"Even if you, Li Daoyuan, burn your spiritual core dry and unleash your power, you still can't break its defenses!"

Upon hearing this, Li Daoyuan gave a wry smile, shook his head, and then looked at Lin Wan'er.

Lin Wan'er stepped forward and looked directly into Lei Lie's eyes.

"Thunder Guardian, the troll has been confirmed dead, and the Order's assassin Shadow Raven is dead."

Lei Lie glanced at Lin Wan'er's epaulettes; they were only at the second tier.

"Who made the move?" Lei Lie raised his voice, and the pressure of a fourth-level aura descended.

"Me," Lin Wan'er answered resolutely, not retreating an inch despite the oppressive aura.
