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

"God knows how many times I've been so shocked I'm speechless today..."

March 7th, has your extraterrestrial technology advanced to this level...?

March 7th wiped the snow off his head, equally shocked, and stammered as he spoke.

"I said...I...I didn't expect it to be this outrageous...Do you believe me?"

"Jiang Ning's armor appearance has changed again, didn't you notice? When fighting the Doomsday Beast, he didn't have those dark blue extra armors on his body."

If I'm not mistaken, he must have upgraded his armor system again…

After a moment of contemplation, Danheng shared his guess.

"Upgraded again...? No way, it's only been a short time. Is it really that easy for Brother Jiang Ning to increase his combat power?"

"Hey...Danheng, do you think there might come a day when 'fate' really can't compete with technology?"

On March 7th, gazing at Jiang Ning as she gently landed, she unconsciously swallowed.

Dan Heng fell silent, finally managing to utter two words.

"Hard to say..."

Xing put away the defensive Flame Spear, her eyes shining with excitement, and waved her little fist, shouting loudly at Jiang Ning.

"That was awesome! Well done!"

Then, Xing excitedly turned around and winked at San Yueqi and Dan Heng.

"Hey, do you guys remember Brother Jiang Ning saying he'd make me a suit of armor...?"

March 7th scratched his cheek and looked at Danheng with a puzzled expression.

"Um, did he say that...?"

Dan Heng shrugged silently.

"Hey! What are you doing...?"

Just as Xing was about to ask more questions, Cocolia, who had been lying motionless in the pit, miraculously climbed back up.

The power of the "Star Core" gradually surged out, helping her repair the damage to her body caused by the heavy blow.

A mouthful of blood spurted from his mouth, splashing onto the ground and staining the pristine white snow red.

"How could this be... such a thing..."

Her pale lips continued to ooze blood, but the previous obsession and madness had faded from her eyes, replaced by an extreme fear and bewilderment.

"Foreign technology... has overwhelmed the power of the star core..."

Cocolia murmured softly, her voice hoarse and broken, her gaze fixed on Jiang Ning.

Having lived for so many years, she knew all too well the immense power of the star core.

It can easily freeze an entire planet, drive away the antimatter army, and change the ecology of a planet.

In her understanding, the star core is a power that is close to the star god and touches the origin of destiny; it is the highest-dimensional law standard of this frozen land.

But this outsider in front of her easily shattered the faith she had held for decades.

What she found even harder to accept was that the other party, without any destiny or blessing, and with only pure mechanical technology, was able to completely crush and shatter her confidence and destroy the absolute power of her faith.

She would rather be defeated by the gray-haired girl using the power of "preservation" than this ending.

"Have you given up, Ms. Cocolia?"

Jiang Ning stepped into the pit and quietly gazed at Cocolia, who was hanging her head and breathing heavily.

Upon hearing this, Cocolia gave a bitter laugh and clenched her fists tightly to support her body.

"After enduring decades of torment, I've finally waited for this day... How can you expect me to give up!"

After speaking, Cocolia seemed to have made up her mind, and a powerful energy exploded from her body, the aftershocks of which forced Jiang Ning back several steps.

Jiang Tou frowned, and the "Destruction" energy bottle hanging at his waist began to heat up uncontrollably.

He was all too familiar with this feeling, just like when Xing was on the space station, the power of the "Star Core" went berserk.

Cocolia, at the energy center, let out a mournful roar as her consciousness struggled with the "Star Core" for control of her body.

Seeing this, Bronya could no longer contain herself and rushed to the edge of the pit, shouting loudly at Cocolia:

"Mother! Don't use the power of the Star Core anymore! You will be completely devoured!"

Bronya couldn't help but speak, her voice filled with barely concealed anxiety.

Cocolia ignored him.

She slowly raised her trembling hand, and the entire sky over the eternal snowfield was shrouded in black mist, which condensed into a dark, shadowy shadow behind her that blotted out the sun.

The grotesque and twisted phantom faintly exuded an aura of destruction that did not belong to Beloberg—it was the echo from the depths of the star core, from the "destruction" star god Nanuk.

"Let this force... wash everything away!"

Meteorites, constructed from the energy of "destruction," fell one after another from the sky.

This attack, in terms of both range and power, far surpassed the previous ones, engulfing the entire snowfield and even including Cocolia herself.

This was a completely suicidal attack, regardless of the cost or consequences.

Cocolia was determined, relying on the powerful life force granted to her by the "Star Core" and exchanging injuries with Jiang Ning and the others.

"If you can't beat me head-on, are you planning to just blast me to smithereens?"

Jiang Ning looked at Cocolia, who was being tortured horribly by the "Star Core," his eyes filled with complex emotions.

"At your speed, you can certainly escape this 'catastrophe' of the Star Core... but your friends can't..."

Whether to run away alone or face the challenge head-on... the choice is yours...

After saying that, Cocolia seemed to have used up the last of her strength, and knelt down on the snow with her head down.

"Tsk, you're the second woman I've met who's given me a headache..."

Jiang Ning silently rubbed his forehead and spoke, then turned to look at Xing in the crowd.

Hey! Star!

If I'm not mistaken, you should be able to mobilize some of Belloberg's "preservation" authority, right?

Try to make that big metal lump move; it looks pretty sturdy and should protect you from harm.

Xing hesitated for a moment after hearing this, then closed his eyes and tried to comprehend it.

A burst of intense firelight shone on the flame spear, and the "Creation Engine," which had been lying on the ground, seemed to sense some kind of summons and stood up again.

Under Xing's control, the "Creation Engine" came behind everyone, stretched out its hands to envelop everyone, and then bent down to completely isolate the meteorite in the sky.

Xing opened her eyes again and shouted excitedly at Jiang Ning outside.

"It really works!"

"Wait... Brother Jiang Ning, aren't you coming in?"

Jiang Ning smiled and waved his hand.

"You can see for yourselves that Zeya's predictions have already thoroughly revealed the course of the battle."

The probability of me emerging unscathed is a whopping 1000%!

As he spoke, Jiang Ning looked down at Cocolia, who was lying motionless on the ground.

"Besides... I can't just watch this troublesome guy really mess things up and get himself killed."

After saying that, Jiang Ning looked up at the sky, took out the "Gaoyue Locust" key from his side, and swiped it repeatedly in the authorized area of ​​the Zero One Driver.

"BITRISE. (Bit upgrade.)"

"BYTERISE."

"KILORISE. (Kilogram upgrade.)"

"MEGARISE. (Megabyte upgrade.)"

A series of red lights flashed on the Zero One Driver, and a vast amount of energy was mobilized, filling the Shining Assault Shining Armor.

Jiang Ning bent down slightly, then transformed into a golden bolt of lightning and shot into the sky.

In his view, countless data streams coalesced into individual "zeros and ones," rushing towards each meteorite and then precisely locking onto their vulnerabilities.

"Prediction complete!"

Without further hesitation, Jiang Ning decisively pressed the Flash Assault Key, which had been inserted into the driver, inward forcefully.

In an instant, in everyone's eyes, Jiang Ning transformed into dozens of clones and flew towards all the meteorites.

The shock of witnessing this unbelievable scene was beyond words.

Combating natural disasters with human strength is no longer just a fantasy.

"SHINING MEGA IMPACT!"

A dazzling flash of lightning appeared on Jiang Ning's legs, shining brightly in the dark sky like the dawn of apocalypse.

The lightning collided with the meteorite, and a series of violent explosions rang out, instantly dissipating the attack that had blotted out the sky.

The meteorite broke into pieces and fell from mid-air, losing its original kinetic energy. It could only land on the "Creation Engine" and make a series of "clanging" metallic collision sounds.

Once the noise outside subsided, Xing controlled the "Creation Engine" to deactivate the defense.

As everyone walked out, the outside scenery came into view again.

Cocolia had somehow broken free from her assimilation with the "Star Core" and was now kneeling quietly on the ground.

Jiang Ning squatted down in front of Cocolia and calmly watched her.

Upon seeing this, March 7th could no longer contain his excitement and gave Xing a big hug.

In other words... this battle was meaningless; Jiangning won!
