Armor: After finding the Demon-Sealing Box, I won't eat beef.

"You arrested him, so why should we move aside?"

A simple sentence, falling lightly to the ground.

The foul water was instantly stunned.

Its mind suddenly went blank, its thoughts completely stuck, and it couldn't figure it out for a long time.

Evil Water stood there, stunned, a sense of absurdity churning wildly within him.

What kind of outrageous and inhumane words are these?

It couldn't help but roar in its heart.

Look carefully!

The ugly general I'm holding hostage!

That's one of your boss Lin Zhen's most trusted and trusted men, a long-time favorite!

I've got the lifeline of such an important person in my hands, and you guys don't even care?

"No...no!"

Evil Water was truly panicked now, his tone becoming increasingly disordered.

"What did you just say? Say it again!"

Bei Kai stepped forward slowly, his heavy black rhinoceros armor exuding an extremely oppressive aura.

His tone was flat, yet it was chillingly indifferent, utterly devoid of any humanity.

"You've captured the ugly general."

"He's not part of our system at all."

"His life or death has no impact on our mission, so why should we step aside?"

Upon hearing these words, Evil Water instantly and completely realized the truth.

A fine layer of cold sweat suddenly broke out on my back.

It finally understood.

No wonder Evil Gold ran away so decisively, without even looking back.

It turns out that guy understood it at first glance.

These new armor summoners have absolutely no martial ethics and no bottom line!

At this moment, not only the stagnant water panicked.

The ugly general, whose neck was being tightly gripped, was drenched in sweat and his face was as pale as paper.

He was both afraid and angry: "Look carefully, I am the ugly general."

"Ugly general."

Does Bing'er have a mental problem?

Is it because the members of the first generation of armored soldiers refused to obey completely and harbored rebellious intentions?

Why did they just replace everyone and bring in this bunch of ruthless lunatics?

At this moment, the ugly general actually missed the old Armor Team One.

At least those people are soft-hearted and considerate.

When faced with a situation where someone is being held hostage, one will more or less hesitate to act rashly and prioritize rescuing the person.

But what about these five?

They only care about the mission and don't care about anyone else's life or death!

"Look closely, he's an ugly general."

Fang Zhong spoke softly.

The five people then stood in a neat row again.

A chilling aura.

Wen Dong pointed to the chaotic and disorganized filth, his tone full of sarcasm.

"Do you think that just because you've captured that ugly fellow, you can control us and make us let you go?"

"Innocent."

Jersey picked up the conversation, his attitude arrogant and cold.

"Our second team's motto."

They only look at the results, not the process, and certainly not who lives or dies.

"Are you all crazy?!"

The ugly general was utterly enraged, terrified, and insane.

"If anything happens to me today, no one will be able to escape responsibility!"

He immediately increased the pressure on her hand and threatened her in a cold voice.

"I'm not kidding you!"

"If you don't get out of the way, I'll drill a hole in the ugly general's neck right now!"

Despite the blatant threat of death, the five armor summoners remained unmoved.

Dian Nan casually flicked his hand, looking completely nonchalant.

He twisted the ultimate skill wheel at his waist, a mocking smile on his lips.

"Since you like to use threats..."

"Then let's have a contest to see if your hands are faster, or our knives are faster."

The other four people moved in unison.

They all twisted their belts and spun the wheels, summoning their exclusive ultimate moves.

Five distinct beams of light and shadow energy instantly enveloped the entire basement.

"Demon-Sealing Slash!"

Dian Nan, holding the Flaming Blade, touched the deadly scroll floating in front of him.

He gripped the sword with both hands and pulled back to gather strength, his body tense, as the raging flames and energy gathered wildly.

Her aura is absolutely domineering.

"Piercing Wind!"

Wen Dong's Wind Eagle Sword ignited its deadly energy.

Twenty or thirty sharp energy swords instantly appeared behind him.

They are densely packed, ready to unleash a fatal blow at any moment.

"Earth-Splitting Strike!"

The Earth Tiger Armor followed closely behind, its thick earth-elemental energy surging and rolling.

"Raging Waterfall!"

The Black Rhino Armor's water system energy surged.

"Thunder Strike!!!"

Jersey, clad in snow mastiff armor, absorbs energy with his Thunder Axe.

In the blink of an eye, all five completed the pre-attack animation of their ultimate moves.

Five deadly moves were poised to be unleashed, causing the entire storage room to tremble.

At that moment, the ugly general's pupils shrank suddenly, and his eyes widened.

His face was filled with disbelief.

He followed Lin Zhen for many years and held a high position.

I consider myself a rather important person.

But now, they've been abandoned without hesitation by the very helpers they've brought in.

The filthy water was equally stunned, its heart trembling.

It finally confirmed that these people were truly willing to take action.

They truly don't care about the lives of the hostages; they intend to kill them all.

It even couldn't help but regret it.

If I had known this would happen, why did I have to grab this useless, ugly fellow?

If they were to arrest any one of the five of them.

Will the ending be different?

With the five deadly attacks about to strike, death was imminent.

The ugly general could no longer hold back and struggled and roared frantically.

"What are you standing there for! Let go of me!!"

"I can mobilize the mutant beasts! Four high-level mutant beasts plus you all! Six against five, the advantage is in our hands!"

Upon hearing this, Evil Water hesitated slightly.

There is really no other way out right now; we can only fight to the death.

It slowly withdrew the weapon it had pressed against the ugly general's throat.

The chameleon beast beside it immediately released its grip on the scruff of Ugly General's neck.

The man and the beast assumed their stances, facing the five terrifying deadly attacks head-on, ready for battle.

Having regained his freedom, the ugly general had no regard for dignity; all he could think about was surviving.

He immediately turned around and started shouting frantically in all directions.

"Delphimon! Waspmon! Vipermon! Toadmon! All of you, come and protect me! Quickly!"

However, the four high-level mutant beasts around them only moved slightly.

A low growl came from deep within his throat.

His feet were firmly planted on the ground, and he made no move to offer assistance.

Dian Nan saw this and a cold, mocking smile curled at the corner of his mouth.

"Don't you understand yet?"

"From the moment you need the five of us to clean up your mess."

"In the big boss's eyes, you're already just a useless piece of trash, like a dog lying on the street."

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

The ugly general shook his head frantically, caught in an extreme internal contradiction.

He desperately tried to find reasons to prove that he still had value.

But the cruel reality was right in front of him; he didn't even have the slightest chance to turn things around.

The next second, the five deadly attacks were unleashed in full force.

Dragon's roar, tiger's howl...

Five earth-shattering roars erupted simultaneously.

The five deadly torrents, led by the Demon-Sealing Slash, surged like a mountain collapsing and a tsunami crashing.

In an instant, the treacherous waters, the chameleon-like dragon beast, and the ugly general at the center were all submerged.

"ah--!!!"

The piercing scream was fleeting.

The ugly general, made of flesh and blood, simply could not withstand the violent energy of the ultimate attack of light and shadow.

It was instantly pulverized by the violent energy and vaporized.

The Fiery Water and the Chameleon were no better off.

He was instantly reduced to a critically injured state, and his energy dissipated.

Five Tai Chi seal patterns appeared in mid-air, locking and imprisoning the two.

Dian Nan and Ze Xi flashed forward, taking the lead.

Flame Fist and Thunder Fist were unleashed in succession.

Completely eliminate the remaining fighting force and seal both of them into the armor belt.

"That was awesome!"

Jersey pulled back his fist, stood up, and let out a triumphant shout.

Wen Dong spoke casually, his tone carrying a hint of disdain: "I didn't expect our first battle to go so smoothly."

The Shadow Guardian, who was previously touted as a god by the Commander, is nothing special.

"By the way, what about the remaining four mutant beasts?"

The five of them turned their heads at the same time and looked at the wolf beast and other high-level mutant beasts on the sidelines.

The four mutant beasts exchanged a glance, showing great understanding.

They all took a step back, their bodies turning into wisps of black smoke.

It vanished in an instant, leaving the battlefield behind.

Dian Nan glanced around, then walked over and picked up the Heavenly Beetle Demon Scroll that was floating in mid-air, and began to examine it.

A hint of interest flashed in his eyes.

"Should I secretly absorb this stuff?"

"Anyway, no one saw it, and the commander couldn't possibly know."

"Don't do anything reckless."

Wen Dong immediately shook his head to stop him, showing he was perfectly sober.

"Liu Ruyan was eventually rescued by the Shadow Protector, so our mission is not yet complete."

"We must give an explanation to the higher-ups."

"This Heavenly Beetle Demonic Talisman is the best evidence."

"This proves that when we arrived, Liu Ruyan had already been taken into the Black Domain. We were a step too late."

Jersey reacted instantly.

"You mean to shift all the blame onto that ugly general?"

"Otherwise what?"

Wen Dong nodded, his tone frank.

That's the truth.

"Liu Ruyan had already been rescued by Evil Jin before we arrived."

"It was the incompetence of our general that caused the defeat; it has nothing to do with us."

Upon hearing this, Dian Nan completely abandoned his idea of ​​keeping the magic scroll for himself.

The five people raised their hands, simultaneously deactivating their armor combination.

Bei Kai turned his head and glimpsed that the group of low-level scoundrels recruited by the ugly general in the corner had not yet escaped.

He immediately frowned and roared angrily.

"What are you looking at? Get out of here!"

The loud, fierce roar, coupled with the five men's ruthless and decisive demeanor just moments before, was a stark contrast to the others' cold-blooded and ruthless actions.

This terrified the mob so much that they were scared out of their wits.

Everyone scrambled and stumbled as they rushed out of the basement.

In the blink of an eye, only the five members of the Armored Team Two remained in the huge basement.

Dian Nan had an arrogant and haughty expression.

He slowly began to set the rules for the team.

"Today marks the official opening match for our second team."

"I'm making this clear beforehand."

"Our team doesn't need a group of indecisive, soft-hearted, useless people."

"In future missions, if anyone ends up like this, being held hostage and dragging down their teammates, then..."

"I can tell you definitively that no one will come to your rescue."

The other four people had the same expression.

"agree."

"agree."

"I have no reason to refuse."

No objections.

The group agreed readily.

In their eyes, the strong will never be controlled by others.

It is only natural that the weak are abandoned.

"Alright."

Dian Nan elegantly put on sunglasses, put his hands in his pockets, and exuded a powerful aura.

"Report the battle situation. Go back to the ERP research lab and report to our armor liaison, Mijin."

"That will be our territory from now on."

After saying that, he turned and left gracefully.

The other four followed suit, putting their hands in their pockets and following closely behind.

The resounding victory in their first battle made the five players extremely arrogant.

In their eyes, the so-called troublesome Shadow Guardians were nothing but empty names.

Now only one scoundrel has managed to escape.

Once we catch this last one who slipped through the net, the mission will be a perfect success.

The commander will surely hold a celebration for them then.

Lin Zhen, this big boss, will certainly receive a generous reward as well.

The thought of gaining both fame and fortune filled the five men with pride and anticipation.

……

News from the battlefield quickly reached the Japanese Sound Group.

After reading the full report, Lin Zhen showed no emotion on his face.

Neither praise nor punish, remain silent.

He simply lowered his head in thought, considering the more hidden situation.

Time flies, and ten days have passed in the blink of an eye.

Outside the bustling commercial street, crowds surged.

A young man ran desperately out of the mall.

His face was deathly pale, he was covered in sweat, and he was panting heavily.

My physical strength was completely exhausted.

Behind him, five roguish yet handsome figures followed slowly.

All five men had their hands in their pockets, their posture relaxed and unhurried.

He exudes an arrogant aura and is inherently unruly.

It was completely like a cat playing with a mouse.

He hadn't run far when his legs gave way and he couldn't run anymore.

They simply stopped, gave up, and abandoned all struggle.

The five people who chased after them were the entire Armored Second Team.

They've been searching the entire city these past few days with extremely high efficiency.

They finally located the whereabouts of the evil metal protector.

The seemingly weak and ordinary man in front of me is the present-day incarnation of Evil Gold.

The boy was bent over, panting heavily, his face full of grievance and fear.

"What...what exactly do you want?"

"I've never done anything to you, so why are you chasing me?"

Dian Nan stepped forward, his eyes icy, and slapped the other person hard across the face.

"Stop pretending to be confused, tell the truth, and you'll suffer less."

The boy turned his head to the side after being hit, his eyes instantly reddening, both scared and angry.

"I don't know anything! If you keep hitting people, I'm calling the police!"

Jersey stepped forward, grabbed his collar tightly, and pulled him in front of her.

She glared at him fiercely, her tone full of sarcasm.

"How interesting. They're hiding a shadow protector, yet they dare to cry 'stop thief'?"

"Stop pretending, we've investigated thoroughly, you're the embodiment of evil metal!"

The boy was completely dumbfounded, his face full of confusion and innocence.

He truly knew nothing.

When a Shadow Guardian possesses a human body, it will completely suppress the host's consciousness.

During the possession period, the host's memories will be completely disrupted, blocked, or deleted.

So he wasn't lying; he really didn't know anything.

"We won't wait until you do something bad before we deal with you."

Wen Dong coldly rebuked him.

Bei Kai raised his hand and slapped the boy on the back of the head with great force.

"Show yourself! Evil Metal!"

"Is it fun to hide inside a human body like a coward?"

"Get out here! Get out here right now!"

At the bustling intersection of the commercial street, passersby turned their heads to watch.

The scene looked extremely absurd.

Five tall, handsome, and charismatic young people.

They took turns pushing and scolding a thin, timid, ordinary poor boy.

To outsiders, this is blatant street bullying.

After a long struggle, the group fought until their hands and feet ached.

The boy had already been beaten black and blue.

But the evil metal within him remained unresponsive.

"Well, this guy really knows how to hold on."

Dian Nan was the first to stop, his palms aching from hitting him.

Finally, Jersey kicked the boy impatiently and asked with a frown.

"So what do we do now? Just let it go?"

They were all exhausted from fighting and stood around catching their breath.

Wen Dong calmly analyzed, "Continuing like this is pointless."

"Even if we kill someone, if the Dharma protector doesn't show up, we'll still gain nothing."

"The Shadow Guardian can change bodies at any time; killing the host will only alert the enemy."

"I didn't expect Evil Gold to be such a coward, refusing to come out no matter what."

Dian Nan waved his hand, losing patience.

"Never mind, let's just follow him for now."

"If the big boss isn't in a hurry, there's no need for us to make a fuss over nothing."

"Keep a close eye on it; it will eventually be unable to resist showing itself one day."

After he finished speaking, the five of them completely lost interest.

He still had his hands in his pockets, and turned away with a flourish.

Only the boy was left standing there, utterly devastated.

He felt deeply wronged.

He was beaten up for no reason and didn't even know why.

These five men were arrogant and domineering, even more so than thugs.

……

In the pitch-black and tranquil Black Domain space.

The hapless Jin, who had miraculously survived, witnessed the entire scene unfolding outside.

It coldly watched as its possessed body was wantonly bullied, always enduring in silence.

More than the conflicts in the outside world, it cares about the people around it at this moment.

In the dark realm shrouded in black mist, Liu Ruyan sat quietly on a soft, fog-covered armchair.

With gentle eyes and a doting expression, she lowered her head and softly stroked her round belly.

She was completely indifferent to the fighting, chasing, and conflicts in the outside world.

Since entering this dark realm.

The fetus in her womb became unusually stable.

It was dark and quiet here, undisturbed.

It is safer than anywhere else in the world.

For her, that alone was enough.

……

Headquarters of the Riyin Group.

With the Armored Second Team taking over all combat missions.

The entire city of D gradually fell into a strange and bizarre cycle.

The former Armor Warriors acted discreetly, hiding in the shadows.

Silently protecting the city.

Never flaunt it.

But after the second team took over, everything changed completely.

They are extremely high-profile, arrogant, and frantically vie for media attention.

Each time they repelled a monster, they faced reporters who rushed to the scene to take pictures.

They never dodge the camera; on the contrary, they actively cooperate with it.

He calmly removed his armor and transformed into his new form in front of everyone, facing all the media directly.

Dian Nan even made a high-profile declaration in front of the camera.

"I am Dian Nan, the new generation summoner of the Flame Dragon Armor."

"Remember my name."

From this day forward, this name will surely become famous throughout the country.

The second team members are all highly skilled, but they are also extremely concerned with their image and love to show off.

They might even proactively approach others for interviews, revealing various inside stories to the public.

Netizens gradually figured out the situation completely.

Only then did everyone realize that the Flame Dragon Armor actually had a first generation and a second generation.

The first generation of armored squad members, due to their rebellious nature, refused to fully obey orders.

The official authority has completely stripped them of their armor summoning privileges.

Instead.

They are a new generation of summoners who are domineering and ruthless.

In no time, all the major armor-themed forums and online communities became incredibly popular.

Countless netizens surf the internet daily, eagerly awaiting the latest battlefield news.

But over time, everyone discovered a strange and bizarre thing.

Since the Armored Second Team took over the battle.

The supernatural beasts in the city have never been sealed away again.

Every battle was deafening, with dazzling moves and explosive scenes.

But in the end...

They only ever managed to drive away the alien beasts.

They never go to extremes, nor do they completely eliminate hidden dangers.

The more netizens watched, the more suspicious they became, and their doubts deepened.

Everyone had a vague sense of it.

The battle between Team Two and the alien beasts didn't seem like a fight to the death at all.

It's more like both sides had tacitly agreed beforehand and were seriously putting on a show together.
