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

"stop!"

Just as the video was playing, the man sitting in the main seat suddenly raised his hand.

The image freezes on the moment Song Yang unleashes the Demon-Sealing Slash.

This person, codenamed "Bone Slayer," is the head of the Seventh Branch Hall.

He was wearing a large black hooded robe and a white bone mask that only revealed his eyes.

Tu Gu extended his withered fingers, pointing to the edge of the closing abyss rift in the image.

"Did you see it clearly?" His voice was hoarse, like sandpaper rubbing against glass.

The four priests of the religious order on either side of the stone table all looked at the screen.

"The energy anchor point of the abyss rift has been erased." Tu Gu clenched his fist tightly, his knuckles cracking like popping beans.

Upon hearing this, the four priests couldn't help but gasp.

The abyssal rift is a projection of a higher dimension. Only by neutralizing the anchor point with extremely strong spiritual energy can it be closed. This is an ironclad rule that all mankind has learned from fighting monsters for hundreds of years!

And how could something in the video be completely erased?

This violates the existing laws of physics and the laws of psionic energy!

"Master, I have repeatedly detected the residual energy frequency bands in this video." The technical priest on the left stood up and reported with his head bowed.

"There was no trace of abyssal psionic energy. That red light seemed to be a pure high-temperature particle, outside the range of any currently known energy!"

Upon hearing this, Tu Gu stood up, the hem of his black robe fluttering even without wind.

He stared intently at the crimson armored figure in the image, his eyes filled with both fanaticism and apprehension.

"This is some kind of independent law, existing outside the abyss system!"

Tu Gu walked around the stone table, stood in front of the projection screen, and touched the shoulder armor of the Flame Dragon Armor on the screen with his finger.

"Holy, domineering, and possesses a fatal restraint against the abyssal aura!"

The cult's faith runs deep, and this power will be their nemesis!

Once the cult is mass-produced and armed by the Spirit Martial Association or the Defense Force, it will be finished!

However, if this power could be stripped away and its underlying principles analyzed, the Seventh Division's status within the Order would soar to new heights!

"Have you found out anything about this person?" Tu Gu withdrew his hand.

The technology priest retrieved a file and projected it onto the side.

The document shows Song Yang's ID photo and the business license of Guangying Toy Store.

"Song Yang, twenty-two years old, hasn't awakened any spiritual abilities. He's the owner of a bankrupt toy store on Old Street. His background is clean; nothing can be found out about him," the priest reported. "The internet is in an uproar right now. Although the Spirit Martial Arts Association has tried to suppress the heat, they haven't sent anyone to blockade Old Street yet."

"No psionic energy?" Tu Gu sneered. "Of course, the Spirit Martial Association wouldn't care about an ordinary person; they'd just consider this a random abyssal anomaly!"

Tu Gu turned around and glanced at his four subordinates.

"So this is our opportunity!"

"Send men to the old street before sunrise tomorrow." Tu Gu's voice was calm, yet chillingly cold. "Find out exactly what that thing that can turn into armor is."

"Bring it back if it's an inanimate object; if it's an awakened ability of a living person..."

With that, Tu Gu sneered and then made a throat-slitting gesture.

"Drain his blood and bring the body back!"

The four priests rose at the same time, placed their right hands on their chests, and bowed slightly.

"Praise be to the abyss!"

The next morning.

The sky over Jiangcheng was hazy, and sunlight shone through the clouds onto the dilapidated pavement of the old street.

The traces of yesterday's battle are still visible; a scorched ditch more than ten meters long lies across the middle of the road, surrounded only by a simple cordon, with no one left to guard it.

Song Yang opened the roller shutter door on time.

After fermenting overnight, the emotion value on the system panel increased significantly, bringing us one step closer to exchanging for the next blueprint.

Song Yang was in a good mood. He turned around, went into the storage room, took a clean rag, and began to clean the shelves that had been knocked over by the blast wave last night.

After tidying up, he walked to the cashier and opened the glass cabinet displaying the rare figurines.

The Xingtian Armor Summoner was carefully placed inside. The red and black metal camera reflected a cold, hard luster in the sunlight, giving it an undeniable industrial feel.

Song Yang took a blank price tag card, pulled out a marker, and quickly wrote a few words.

Our prized possession: Xingtian Summoning Device (Limited Edition, Combat Model)

Price: 98000

Note: QR code payment is accepted. No credit available. No bargaining!

After affixing the price tag to the glass display case, Song Yang clapped his hands in satisfaction.

Ninety-eight thousand for a rule-based special effects weapon that can fight monsters of a higher level and ignore defenses? That's an absolute steal!

In response, Song Yang even felt that he had been too kind.

After doing all this, Song Yang sat back in the rattan chair and opened a can of iced cola.

呲!

The sound of carbonated bubbles rising and falling was exceptionally clear in the quiet shop.

Just as Song Yang took a sip of his cola, a deep engine sound suddenly came from the old street outside the door.

A black SUV bearing the insignia of the defense forces came to a steady stop in front of the toy store.

After the car door opened, Lin Wan'er stepped out with her long legs.

She was dressed in a black combat suit, with a specially made psionic short sword strapped to the outside of her thigh, looking as capable as ever.

However, this time she was not accompanied by special forces members, but by a middle-aged man wearing a gray research coat and carrying a briefcase.

The man, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, looked arrogant as he surveyed the dilapidated old street around him, subconsciously frowning and covering his mouth and nose.

The two entered the toy store one after the other.

As soon as Lin Wan'er stepped into the store, her eyes were immediately drawn to the glass display case at the cashier.

Lin Wan'er was taken aback when she saw the items displayed inside.

Xingtian Armor Summoning Device?!

And it's not like those cheap, plasticky products from yesterday!

This retro red and black camera lies quietly in a glass case. Its metal casing gleams with a cool luster under the dim light, and the red ring around the lens exudes ultimate industrial aesthetics.

As a hardcore fan whose basement is filled with rare tokusatsu figures, Lin Wan'er was instantly captivated.

"Team Leader Lin, good morning." Song Yang leaned back in his wicker chair, raised his iced cola, and smiled warmly.

"What, you brought a friend to patronize the business today?"

Lin Wan'er took a deep breath, forcibly shifting her gaze away from the Xing Tian summoner, and resumed her aloof and iron-blooded expression.

"Song Yang, this is Zhao Xu, a senior equipment evaluation expert from the Defense Force Procurement Department." Lin Wan'er spoke in a businesslike manner.

"As instructed by the association's senior management, we need to conduct a formal assessment and record of your armament."

"Evaluation?" Song Yang raised an eyebrow, then adopted an indifferent expression.

"The evaluation is fine, but my business is small, so I don't offer free trials."

Zhao Xu, who had just walked in, pushed up his glasses, sneered, and went straight to the counter.

He completely ignored Song Yang's words and took out a palm-sized precision instrument from the silver briefcase.

That's the Defense Force's latest psionic spectrum scanner, capable of detecting the path of psionic circuits even on Tier 1 enchanted items.

Zhao Xu took the scanner and scanned the Xingtian Summoner on the counter, then turned around and scanned all the Kamen Rider belts and Ultraman transformation devices on the shelf.
