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

Space folded and twisted violently, and thick, annihilating black mist poured down from the void.

With a booming sound of its wings, the Doomsday Beast descended from the sky and crashed heavily into the center of the platform.

boom--!

The heavy impact caused cracks to spread across the alloy ground, and the tiny metal fragments were directly corroded into ashes by the destructive energy.

The oppressive force of the "destruction" destiny energy was like a mountain pressing down, locking the entire area in place.

This is far beyond what those pawns and tramplers could ever compare to.

The Doomsday Beast is the Antimatter Legion's true stellar-level killing weapon.

"All personnel on high alert."

Himeko's expression lost its usual gentleness, and her gaze became serious.

She raised her hand, igniting a raging inferno. The warm red flames barely held back the surrounding corrosive black mist, and she softly reminded everyone:

"Its outer armor is extremely strong, and it is difficult to penetrate its defenses with conventional attacks. Prioritize avoiding damage and kiting it around."

Before the words were finished, the core in the chest of the Doomsday Beast suddenly burst into light, and imaginary energy was compressed into countless points of light, which were scattered in all directions.

There was no probing, no pause.

A barrage of black annihilation bullets rained down, covering the entire platform and instantly sealing off all evasive angles.

March 7th gritted his teeth and conjured a layer of ice crystal shields on everyone, barely managing to withstand the attacks.

But the next second, the moment the pure white ice crystals came into contact with the destructive black mist, they emitted a sizzling corrosive sound, disintegrating layer by layer and melting away completely.

The shockwave swept in, and March 7th staggered back half a step, her skirt slightly scorched by the aftershocks.

"It's completely unstoppable!"

Danheng! Besides Uncle Yang, you're the smartest person on the entire train!

Quickly use your unparalleled knowledge to think of a solution!

Dan Heng charged forward on the wind, his spear, which was wrapped in a green wind, precisely shattered several black energy bullets coming towards him, his expression extremely solemn.

"The Doomsday Beast's attacks cannot be seamlessly intersected! Withstand this wave!"

He will then enter a brief state of 'imaginary energy overload'! The reactor in his chest will overheat, at which point you should attack its core with an ice arrow!

On March 7th, he raised his bow and fired rapidly, shattering a series of energy missiles in mid-air.

Upon hearing Danheng's plan, March 7th frowned deeply.

"Doesn't that help cool it down?"

"Danheng, are you even capable? Can't you be a little more reliable in a situation like this?"

Dan Heng held the "Cloud Strike" and swept it forcefully in front of him, briefly clearing a blank safe area.

Don't question me!

Rapid temperature changes will make its exoskeleton brittle, creating the best opportunity for a fatal blow!

March 7th only vaguely understood what Danheng said, but still chose to do as he instructed.

Just as she raised her bow and arrow to aim at the core of the Doomsday Beast, a question involuntarily popped into her head.

"Wait, we've found a way to weaken the Doomsday Beast, but who will deliver the final blow...?"

While pondering, the Doomsday Beast slapped Himeko's drone to pieces, then raised its right claw and slammed it toward March 7's location with a whooshing sound.

"March! Be careful!"

Dan Heng swung his spear and rushed towards the direction of March 7th.

"Damn it...faster!"

Dan Heng gritted his teeth and sped up, desperately squeezing energy from every cell in his body.

Unnoticed, a stream of blue water shot out from beneath Dan Heng's feet, instantly increasing his speed.

"Shooting—Blast!"

A rousing electronic sound exploded, and a wolf howl accompanied by an energy roar slammed into the side of the giant claw that the Doomsday Beast swung out.

The violent impact force deflected the beast's fatal strike, and its heavy claws slammed into the alloy platform beside it, causing the entire platform to cave in and cracks to spread wildly outward like a spider web.

The sudden turn of events caused Dan Heng to stumble, nearly losing his balance and falling.

Everyone turned around and looked toward the source of the attack.

Alan, now transformed into Balkan, maintained his previous posture, wisps of smoke rising from the overheated muzzle of the firing sublimation device.

Jiang Ning stood sideways next to Alan, the 01 Driver already worn on his waist.

"Hey everyone, we're not late, are we?"

Jiang Ning greeted the train crew with a smile, seemingly unaffected by the somber and oppressive atmosphere.

"Brother Jiangning!?"

Xing and March 7's eyes shone as if they had seen a savior.

Dan Heng unconsciously tightened his grip on the "Cloud-Striking" spear, glanced at March 7 with lingering fear, and then looked at Jiang Ning with a hint of gratitude in his eyes.

If Jiang Ning hadn't brought Alan to the rescue in time, March 7 would likely have been seriously injured by that attack.

"Brother Jiang Ning! Cooperate with me! Dan Heng said to attack the core of that giant thing!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ning turned around and looked into the distance behind him, his voice calm and composed.

"No rush, what I'm waiting for has arrived..."

The next moment, a pale blue figure appeared from a distance, jogging towards Jiangning.

"President Jiang Ning! Please use this!"

Izzy raised her right hand and waved it, then threw it forcefully towards Jiang Ning.

The new key, a blend of gold and fluorescent green, spun a few times in mid-air before being caught steadily by Jiang Ning.

"Thanks, Iz, you've come at the perfect time!"

Jiang Ning waved to Iz in thanks, and Iz returned Jiang Ning's gesture with an elegant smile.

Then, Jiang Ning turned around and faced the enormous doomsday beast.

"Alright, you persistent moth, let me see how you differ from the previous one."

Jiang Ning held the new key in his hand and pressed the activation button on the key with his fingertip.

"Shining Jump!"

Golden light flowed along the key's pattern, and the key's surface burst forth with dazzling golden light.

As the key approaches the driver's sensing area, a bright red light begins to flash.

"Authorize!"

Jiang Ning raised his hand and held up the key, and golden light shot straight into the sky, connecting with "Zeya" in space through layers of metal barriers.

A golden data ring appeared above the key. Jiang Ning flicked his wrist, and the key unlocked the ring like a key.

A giant golden locust leaped out of the halo, its body bounding back and forth on the empty floor, causing violent tremors.

Alan lost her footing and fell to the ground, staring in disbelief at the locust leaping around Jiang Ning.

"Wow, that's amazing!!"

The key traced a golden curve across his chest, and Jiang Ning's arm jerked suddenly, causing the key to slide into the driver.

"Progrise! (Program upgrade!)"

A golden web of data enveloped the leaping locusts, which then pounced on Jiang Ning.

"The rider kick increases the power by adding brightness! (Radiant light, a sweeping flying kick!)"

"Shining Hopper!"

As the golden light faded, a black undergarment clung to his body, while a fluorescent green outer armor seemed to grow from within him, enveloping Jiang Ning like claws closing in.

"When I shine, darkness fades!

(A flash of light, and the darkness vanishes!)

Jiang Ning's red compound eyes were gradually filled with light, and a terrifying aura burst forth from his body, which was in no way weaker than that of the Doomsday Beast.

"So cool!!"

On March 7th, Xing and her partner embraced excitedly.

Dan Heng stared at this scene that shattered his worldview. Although he had expected it, seeing it with his own eyes was still shocking.

Himeko's lips curled into a smile, her gaze towards Jiang Ning filled with curiosity. Then, looking at the extremely excited San Yueqi and Xing, her eyes were full of doting affection.

"This is... incredible technology."

If Walter were here… he'd probably faint from excitement, wouldn't he?

Jiang Ning took a step forward and slowly raised his hand to point at the Doomsday Beast.

"When I shine, the darkness will vanish."
