Strip me of my armor? I'll summon the Emperor in a flash!

Chapter 1 Deprivation of Armor Qualification
"It's not the usual original work; the author made some adaptations and made some things special."

"Li Yan, headquarters has decided to revoke your armor summoning qualification."

"From now on, Dongshan will be in charge of summoning the Wind Eagle Armor."

Meizhen's voice exploded in Li Yan's mind like a thunderclap.

ERP Research Institute

Meizhen sat in front of the control panel, looking at the burly young man in front of her, and said...

A hint of disappointment and regret also appeared in her eyes.

Beside her stood a man in a leather jacket, arms crossed, wearing sunglasses that obscured his eyes.

"why?"

"And by what right do you deprive me of my qualification to wear the Wind Eagle Armor?!"

Li Yan slowly raised his head, his gaze shifting from Mei Zhen's slightly evasive eyes to the man in the leather jacket beside her.

Li Yan stood there, looking at Mei Zhen, and at Dong Shan, the new summoner of the Wind Eagle Armor!
There was no anger or sadness in his eyes, he just looked at them calmly.

Everything in the research institute felt both familiar and strange at that moment!

During this time, he worked diligently to fight against the alien beasts, but he never expected to get such an ending. It's really ironic!
He is Li Yan, a time traveler and the summoner of the Wind Eagle Armor.

When he first transmigrated to this world, he was excited, thinking he was about to reach the pinnacle of life, but reality gave him a harsh blow.

He didn't have the systems that transmigrators were required to have, or even any cheat codes!
This made him feel terrified, fearful, and even cautious about the world, afraid that a mutant beast might suddenly appear and kill him at any moment.

But later, people from the ERP Research Institute found him and said that he possessed the Wood Bloodline of the Wind Eagle Armor.

Upon receiving this news, Li Yan felt as if the sky had suddenly brightened. Moreover, with the help of the ERP Research Institute, he was not only able to summon the Wind Eagle Armor, but his strength was also growing stronger.

He was ruthless in dealing with the alien beasts, and his actions were swift and decisive, even more ferocious than Xin Nan, the Flame Dragon Armor!

He originally thought he could replace Dongshan in the original series and become the true Wind Eagle Armor, but he never expected that Meizhen's words today would make him understand everything in an instant.

"Based on your combat data analysis, headquarters believes your fighting style is too aggressive and brutal." Meizhen pulled up a set of data, and the line graph on the screen fluctuated wildly. "In headquarters' words, it's too unstable."

"I understand."

"Is this what you wanted too?" Li Yan took off the Wind Eagle Badge from his chest, the metal surface still warm from his body, and handed it to Mei Zhen along with the Wind Eagle Armor Summoner.

Meizhen took the Wind Eagle Armor summoner from Li Yan. She opened her mouth, as if to say something, but in the end only said softly, "The research institute will retain your basic privileges, and you can continue in the future."

"No need." Before Meizhen could finish speaking, Li Yan turned and walked towards the exit.

He had walked down the short corridor countless times, but this was the first time he felt it was so long.

Reaching the exit, Li Yan turned back unwillingly and happened to see Dong Shan eagerly picking up the Wind Eagle Armor Summoner, while Mei Zhen looked in his direction, her lips trembling slightly.

Ha! Hypocritical!

……

The rain fell in fine threads, like a layer of gray gauze, enveloping the entire street.

Li Yan stood downstairs, the drizzling rain sliding down his hair.

The dark clouds were thick and low, much like his mood at that moment—utterly terrible!

Li Yan clenched his fists, feeling resentful. All his past efforts had been completely wiped out by a single sentence.

He was not reconciled.

But how could an ordinary armor summoner like him change the headquarters' decision?

He forced a smile, but only tasted the bitterness of the rain.

Sudden--

"Ding! Immense hatred detected!"

A cold, electronic voice exploded in his mind, making him instantly raise his head, a light seemingly appearing in his eyes!

coming!

"Ding, the Dark Emperor System is binding..."

"Dark Emperor System, successfully bound."

Li Yan's body suddenly stiffened.

Then I instantly felt excited!
Here comes, finally here!
The long-awaited cheat code, the long-awaited system!

"Host detected to possess Wood-type bloodline..."

"Negative emotions have reached the threshold..."

"Begin the transformation—"

"The Darkwood bloodline transformation was successful."

"Derive the Dark Five Elements Bloodline—"

"Dark Emperor System...?"

Hearing the name of the system, Li Yu was somewhat puzzled.

wrong.

This isn't right.

Rain dripped down his chin, splashing tiny droplets on the ground.

Dark Emperor System
This name doesn't seem like that of a normal system at all.

No matter how you look at it, it's definitely a villain's style!

"Ding! The host has been detected to possess the Dark Five Elements Bloodline. Congratulations, host, on obtaining the qualification to summon the Dark Emperor Armor!"

Note: No summoning device is needed; it can be summoned simply by thought!

"Dark Emperor Armor?" Li Yu was not only stunned by the name of the system, but he was also taken aback by the Dark Emperor Armor Summoner.

He was filled with doubt.

"Dark Emperor Armor, combine!"

Following the system's prompts, Li Yan silently recited a sentence in his mind.

Next second

Li Yu transformed into imperial armor, his body radiating light, with dragon heads, tiger shoulders, eagle wings, mastiff backs, and rhinoceros legs.

The king's majesty emanated from him, and this inexplicable aura instantly silenced the surrounding area.

However, unlike the Emperor Armor in his memory, the Emperor Armor that Li Yan summoned was entirely dark and filled with an evil aura!
There was not a trace of justice or light in it.

"Power, I can feel it, immense power!"

"Several times more powerful than the Wind Eagle Armor!"

Having personally experienced the power of the Wind Eagle Armor, Li Yan could now feel the difference even more when wearing the Dark Emperor Armor!
"This is just the normal form of the Emperor Armor. How strong would it be in its complete form?"

Li Yan looked at his Dark Emperor Armor and became increasingly satisfied!
Especially when you think about the power of its fully evolved form in the future, it's simply unimaginable!
Mission issued: Punish injustice.

Objective: Defeat the Windhawk Armor

Reward: Dark Wind Eagle Armor Summoner (can be given to others)

The system's voice sounded, piquing Li Yan's interest.

"Defeating the Windhawk Armor, interesting!"

"Meizhen, Dongshan, since you are heartless, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Li Yan, who already had grievances, instantly felt better upon hearing about this system task.

The Dark Emperor Armor is still an Emperor Armor!

Moreover, turning evil makes you three times stronger!
Moreover, the Wind Eagle Armor that Dongshan summoned was no match for his Dark Emperor Armor!

He's not even worthy of carrying my shoes!
As for the reward, it's the Dark Shadow Armor Summoner.

The fact that it could be given to others reminded him of someone.

Moreover, he doesn't mind taking on a few underlings.

Dark Emperor Armor Disintegrates
The aura emanating from Li Yan also underwent some changes.

He was already a towering 1.9 meters tall, but now he exuded a sinister aura, making him appear even more domineering, like a mafia boss.

"Dongshan, I look forward to seeing you again next time." Li Yan turned his gaze toward the burger shop, as if he could already see the smug Dongshan there.

……

影界
In the dim cave, glowing moss covered the damp rock walls, and the purplish-green light cast two distorted shadows.

"Hahaha—Finally! Finally!"

"I finally got it! I finally got it!"

"Ugly general, well done!"

Shadow Tyrant's maniacal laughter echoed in the stone chamber. His withered fingers gripped a stone that shimmered with a yellow light so tightly that his knuckles turned white from the excessive force.

Each flash of light revealed his hideous face.

"Ugly General, you did well this time!" Shadow Tyrant barely suppressed his smile, looked down at the figure kneeling on one knee below, his voice still filled with barely suppressed excitement.

The ugly general lowered his head, his voice respectful and humble: "It is my honor to serve Your Majesty."

Shadow Tyrant narrowed his eyes, his fingertips tracing the smooth surface of the stone, his tone suddenly turning gloomy: "Remember, nothing about this stone must be revealed."

"It's the same up there!"

"Understood, Your Majesty." The Ugly General lowered his head even further, his face shrouded in shadow, making it impossible to see his expression. "Even if Lord King of the Realm asks, Your Majesty will not reveal a single word."

Shadow Master nodded in satisfaction.

The ugly general slowly retreated, and only after Shadow Master's figure was completely out of sight did he slowly straighten up.

He raised his face, a cold smile curving his lips, his eyes flashing with mockery and contempt.

"Ha, fool..." he muttered to himself, his voice so soft it was almost inaudible, "You really thought I'd keep your secret?"

"I'll go report to Lord Kai immediately!"

After the ugly general left

Shadow King stood before the throne, holding the shimmering Earth Shadow Stone, a ferocious tiger head tattoo visible on his left wrist.

It was now sparkling, becoming even more noticeable.

"The Earth Shadow Stone is finally back in my hands!"

"I have everything I need now!"

……

remote coast
Dongshan walked to the shore, his boots crunching over the gravel. He stopped, his eyes behind his sunglasses slowly scanning his surroundings.

This place is so remote it's unsettling.

Apart from the roar of the waves crashing against the rocks, there was no other sound.

The salty sea breeze, carrying spray and the unique fishy smell of the deep sea, hit my face.

"who is it?"

Dongshan looked around.

The anonymous message from yesterday is still flashing on my phone—[Want to know how to get stronger? Meet me at the dock at sunset.]

"Come out." Seeing that no one was there, and even feeling like he had been tricked, Dongshan's voice grew colder. "Since you invited me, don't hide."

The rocky area was unusually quiet.

Suddenly, a giant wave crashed against the rock wall, splashing water that soaked his trouser legs. A faint, metallic smell mingled with the salty sea breeze.

—It's blood.

Dongshan's pupils suddenly contracted.

He turned sharply towards the rocky outcrops, where a pale leg could be vaguely seen between the jagged crevices.

"Damn it!"

Dongshan rushed forward in a few strides, sending pebbles flying at his feet.

A corpse was curled up in a crevice in the rocks, its pale face still frozen with terror, and dark red bloodstains stained the rocks around it.

But what's most striking is the layer of green slime on the corpse that glows with an eerie light.

"Alien Beast"

Dongshan knelt on the ground and touched the slime a few times with a handkerchief.

This familiar feeling is very similar to what I experienced some time ago.

His breathing quickened involuntarily—as the new summoner of the Windhawk Armor, this might be his first real battle.

Just thinking about it makes me excited!
"Are you excited, Dongshan?"

The sudden sound from behind made him freeze.

Dongshan turned around abruptly, the gravel scraping against the soles of his boots with a screeching sound.

In the afterglow of the setting sun, Li Yan's tall figure stood like an iron tower on the shore.

"Li Yan?! What are you doing here?!" Dong Shan's Adam's apple bobbed.

Li Yan did not answer immediately.

The sea breeze lifted the corner of his clothes, and the corners of his mouth slowly turned up. That smile sent a chill down Dongshan's spine.

“Of course!” Li Yan took a step forward, his boot crushing a seashell. “I’ll teach you how to become stronger!”

Upon seeing Li Yan appear before him, Dong Shan's expression turned serious.

Li Yan's burly figure, just standing there, gave him an invisible sense of pressure.

Especially now that Li Yan has a touch of evil in his temperament, Dong Shan feels inexplicably uneasy.

Dongshan was startled. After realizing what was happening, he stared at Li Yan warily. "Did you ask me to come?"

An ominous premonition arose in his heart.

Especially after he replaced Li Yan as the Wind Eagle Armor, he became increasingly hostile towards Li Yan!
"I was the one who asked you out."

Li Yan looked at Dong Shan, who looked nervous, and chuckled softly, "Why are you so nervous, Dong Shan?"

"You are the renowned Wind Eagle Armor, while I am just an ordinary person now."

Li Yan took two steps forward.

Dongshan involuntarily took two steps back.

However, when he heard Li Yan mention the Wind Eagle Armor, it calmed him down and he stopped retreating.

That's right, I'm wearing the Wind Eagle Armor, and he's just an ordinary person right now. Why would I be afraid of him?!

"Li Yan, what exactly do you want from me?" With a renewed sense of confidence, Dong Shan's expression softened, no longer showing the same tense demeanor as before.

"And what exactly is going on here?!" Dongshan demanded.

The sea breeze made Li Yan's short-sleeved shirt flutter, and he narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at Dong Shan with a hint of amusement.

"What else could it be? It's just what you see."

"Moreover, I summoned you here to see if you are truly qualified to summon the Wind Eagle Armor!"

Li Yan continued to approach Dong Shan, and his words made Dong Shan's expression even more unpleasant.

Dongshan's fists clenched so tightly they cracked, and his face was extremely pale.

Li Yan was clearly questioning his abilities!

He said he was completely unworthy to be the Wind Eagle Armor summoner!
"Li Yan, let me tell you, you're just an ordinary person now, you have no right to be arrogant..."

"And today I'll tell you whether I'm worthy to be the summoner of the Windhawk Armor!" Dongshan suddenly took off the Windhawk Badge and shouted.

"Wind Eagle Armor, combined!"

Blue and white armor instantly covered his entire body, and Dongshan radiated a dazzling silver-white light.

The patterns on the armor seemed to come alive, swimming within Dongshan's body and radiating a terrifying aura.

Dongshan stomped his foot, stomping hard on the reef.

"boom!"
