Ironclad: How can hand-crafted knight belts not be considered genius?

As the cola can was opened and the bubbles bubbled, the driver interface at the bottom of the Rabbit Tank bubble can popped out, and the entire can burst into a dazzling light.

The Rabbit Tank bubble can was inserted into the driver, and the eyes of the Tron avatar tattoo on the can began to light up rhythmically.

Jiang Ning raised his hand, grasped the driver handle, and quickly rotated it clockwise.

A transparent energy pipe extends from above the BuildDriver, forming a cylindrical pipe that resembles an oversized soda can surrounding Jiang Ning.

"Henshin!!"

As the announcement of the transformation was made, the Build Armor fell and suddenly merged, enveloping Jiang Ning in the center.

An energy-like outer garment adhered to Jiang Ning's body, eventually condensing to its maximum, bursting open and churning into Kamen Rider Build - Rabbit Tank Bubble Can Armor.

"Sudden pop! Rabbit Tank Bubble Tea!"

"Yeah——～Yeah——～"

Unlike the streamlined design of the previous Rabbit Tank armor, the new Build Rider form is covered with spikes, making it look more dangerous.

The advancing phantom army could not possibly ignore such a commotion as the transformation, and three melee phantom soldiers who led the charge immediately appeared at the corner.

Laiira, who was originally immersed in the visual impact of Jiang Ning's transformation special effects, was suddenly startled.

"Jiang...Jiang Ning! They're here!"

Jiang Ning felt a powerful force subtly flowing throughout his body, and gently touched the rabbit-ear-shaped armor above his head.

"Perfect timing!"

A glint of light flashed in Build Rider's red and blue compound eyes as Jiang Ning raised his hand and summoned Drill Crusher.

Jiang Ning reacted quickly, immediately shielding Leira behind him. The high-speed spinning Drill Crusher was positioned in front of him, precisely shattering the first wave of attacks. The scattered energy fragments exploded into sparks on the bulkhead.

"Stay behind me and don't run around!"

Jiang Ning's calm voice came from behind the mask, as if there was a dark mass in front of him.

Groups of melee phantom soldiers swung their claws and rushed forward, while artillery phantom soldiers continuously built up their firepower.

Jiang Ning, wielding the Drill Crusher, charged and fought his way through the enemy ranks. The powerful buffs from the Rabbit Tank allowed him to remain in control of the massive army of flank soldiers.

"Antimatter Legion? 'Destruction'? That's all you're capable of!"

Jiang Ning looked down with disdain at the rout-stricken but still bloodthirsty troop of soldiers before him, and gestured to Leila. Leila immediately understood and threw out the tank energy bottle.

Jiang Ning took it casually and inserted it into the "Drill Crusher" in his hand. The energy in the energy bottle immediately poured into the weapon like a flood.

"Ready—Go!!!"

"Go back to the trash can!"

"Vortex Break——!!"

As the final blow was announced, Jiang Ning gripped the sword hilt with both hands and thrust it forward forcefully towards the densest point of the illusory army.

The powerful strike transformed into a surging energy impact that completely annihilated a large number of illusory soldiers in front, creating a "no man's land".

The remaining surviving soldiers clearly understood the vast difference in strength between themselves and the enemy, and immediately began to retreat.

Just then, hurried footsteps and gunshots suddenly came from afar.

Alan, along with several defense team members, rushed to provide support following the commotion, and their concentrated firepower quickly wiped out the remaining enemy troops.

"Mr. Jiang Ning!"

Alan spotted Jiang Ning and quickly ran to his side.

Jiang Ning raised his hand and pulled out the Rabbit Tank bubble canister from the driver, deactivating the transformation.

"Mr. Jiang Ning! Are you alright?"

Alan anxiously examined Jiang Ning's injuries.

Jiang Ning raised his hand and waved it gently, smiling calmly to indicate that he was fine.

"I'm fine, I was just caught off guard and ambushed by these guys."

Alan gritted his teeth, lowered his head, and looked dejected.

"I'm sorry... Mr. Jiang Ning, I failed to defend Zone B, allowing the flanks to break through the blockade. As for everyone in Zone A... I'm unable to rescue them..."

Jiang Ning looked at Alan, who was lost in self-blame, and gently patted him on the shoulder.

"No wonder. The Defense Department was only recently established, and there is bound to be a significant gap between it and the well-trained 'Destruction' Legion."

Moreover, the number of dummy soldiers this time far exceeded my expectations... This number is probably more than three times that of last time, right?

Not only that, their combat intelligence and physical strength have also improved significantly, making them completely different from the previous grunts; they are clearly elite soldiers.

Jiang Ning recalled the antimatter army that was like a black tide, repeatedly repelled but always able to fill the gaps, and couldn't help but complain about how disgusting the antimatter legion was.

They really are a bunch of cosmic cockroaches.

Alan felt increasingly powerless as he listened, his hands clenching into fists, only to helplessly relax them again.

"Is the Black Tower Space Station going to be destroyed by these guys... Damn it!"

Alan gritted his teeth and slammed his fist into the ground, venting his sense of powerlessness.

"It's all my fault for being useless! If I were just a little bit stronger, even just a tiny bit, things wouldn't have turned out this way..."

Jiang Ning raised his hand and gently tapped Alan's head, forcefully interrupting the other's self-pity.

"Don't be so pessimistic. I didn't say I had no way out."

Upon hearing this, Alan looked up at Jiang Ning with some confusion. The despair in his eyes gradually faded, and a glimmer of light reappeared in his pupils.

Jiang Ning smiled confidently, dusted himself off, and stood up.

Why do you think I don't have a backup plan?

As soon as he finished speaking, a tin box about half the size of a palm was pulled out of Jiang Ning's coat pocket.

The metal box is small, with six different colored faces, making it look like a miniature version of a Rubik's Cube.

Leira glanced at the dark, tin box in Jiang Ning's hand, her brows furrowing involuntarily, and she couldn't help but complain.

"Why do you have so many strange and unusual things?"

The previous soda can was a transformation device, so what's this metal box? A bomb?

Jiang Ning glanced at Laira, his eyebrows involuntarily twitching.

"Stupid woman, if you don't appreciate it, just shut up! No one will think you're mute if you don't speak!"

Alan stared at the oddly shaped tin box, lost in thought.

"Although Mr. Jiang Ning's inventions are a bit strange in shape, they are not useless junk."

Mr. Jiang Ning must have his reasons for doing this…

"Heh, Alan is the best at it."

"Watch closely... my magnificent invention!"

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Jiang Ning gently pressed his hand on the indentation in the center of the tin box. The tin box slowly cracked open, exposing the pale blue crystal inside to the air.

"Communication crystal? What do you need that for? To contact Lady Black Tower?"

The sharp-eyed Leila immediately recognized the type of the pale blue crystal.

Jiang Ning shook his head mysteriously.

"No, no. If a security captain causes his superiors a lot of trouble, then he is not fit to be a security captain."

Hey Er! Have you finished cleaning Area A? Bring back all the survivors from Area A on your way back.

The communication crystal flashed twice quickly, as if responding to Jiang Ning's words.

"Mr. Jiang Ning... what does this mean...?"

Alan stared at the scene before him, somewhat bewildered.

Jiang Ning didn't rush to respond directly. Instead, he silently put the crystal back into the mechanical box and looked with interest at the gate where Area A and Area B intersected not far away.

"Just wait and see, he'll be here soon."

Listening to Jiang Ning's riddle-like speech, everyone in the cangduan was completely baffled.

Leila couldn't help but speak up first:

"What are you talking about! You're still pretending at a time like this?! I..."

The next instant, the entire alloy floor of the warehouse section suddenly began to tremble violently without warning.

"Watch out, everyone! Something's coming!"

Alan keenly sensed something was wrong, his sharp eyes fixed on the iron gate, his broadsword held horizontally across his chest, and he was the first to go into a state of alert.
