Chapter 85 The Professor's New Clothes

silence.

Silence hung around the table.

Several seconds passed before Yu Zhiwei finished the bunch of grapes. Only then did Luo Yinglong manage a weak smile.

"Miss Yu...Miss Yu's close combat mode is quite unique, isn't it?"

"Are you scared?" Yu Zhiwei tilted her head.

"Who's scared!" he shouted, then inhaled. "It's just that I was exaggerating a little and didn't react immediately."

He exclaimed that perhaps he rarely encountered such a situation. However, Jacob, who was on the other side, stroked his chin and pondered for a moment.

“It looks familiar.” He reached out and pulled down an image of a monster from the orb of the main god. “That posture... it looks like a black goat cub... Yu, is your power related to the Cthulhu Mythos? But I don’t seem to sense any mental pollution, which is different from the captain’s summons.”

"The answer is no," Yu Zhiwei replied slowly, resting her chin on her hand. "But you guessed right. I did refer to the pose of a black goat cub when I designed this stance. I think this look is actually quite intimidating in close combat. But I do have other fighting stances, although the styles are all pretty much the same... Vana, are you still not awake?"

“I’ve told you not to call me Valentina, I’ve said it so many times.” Valentina lightly leaped down from the crumbling Black Night Steed, her gaze towards Yu Zhiwei unchanged. “Your performance… hmph, it does look quite convincing. Looks like we don’t have to worry about anyone trying to flank us anymore. But given how things are, have you considered the possibility of us cooperating with the local forces?”

“Not at all!” Yu Zhiwei replied immediately. Then she waved her hand. “That’s why I never show this form in the story world. Whew, don’t worry. I’ll design a melee form that’s more visually appealing later. Don’t worry about it affecting your favorite ‘Talk to Someone’.

"That's more like it..." she muttered as she returned to her seat, casually helping the magical girl close her slightly dislocated jaw as she passed by.

'click--'

Almaria shuddered, her somewhat dazed eyes blinking slightly.

"Each of them has their own unique skills..." she murmured.

"What did you say?" Yu Zhiwei asked, looking at her.

"...I said the weather is really nice."

That would be wonderful.

The main square, with its eternally suspended orb of light, stands under a cloudless sky.

"Kala——"

A flash of lightning.

Some meddlesome fellow conjured up a large rain cloud on the spot and hung it above the square. The next moment, a torrential downpour began.

well.

The four who took the lead stepped forward and erected a mental barrier to withstand the torrential rain.

Si Ming gently shook his head and pulled down the item he wanted to exchange from the main god's light orb.

—【Celestial Demon Weapon Origin Pearl—Originating from 'Mysterious Divine Weapons,' it is a demon weapon origin pearl formed from a portion of the original Celestial Demon's body. It is already in a perfect state awaiting activation. As long as suitable weapon materials are added, a Celestial Demon Weapon can be formed immediately. Because it is a special product of the Main God Space, this Celestial Demon Weapon is composed of pure demonic energy, does not possess innate righteous or evil attributes, and is not affected by the original Celestial Demon or its derivatives—】

—As a trade-off, this demonic weapon no longer possesses the negative emotional corruption or liberation effect. Furthermore, if the user uses equipment of a lower grade than the original pearl as the weapon's material, the resulting demonic weapon will inherit a certain degree of that equipment's appearance and characteristics.

—【Purchasing this item requires completing one A-rank side quest and earning 12000 reward points.】

The Heavenly Demon Weapon Original Pearl—unfortunately, in the world of Divine Weapons and Mysteries, the corresponding Heavenly Divine Weapon doesn't possess a flipped original pearl form. However, considering that it absorbs existing equipment and inherits its characteristics, this exchange item does meet Si Ming's current needs.

A perfectly round, jet-black bead then flowed out of the main god's sphere of light and landed in Si Ming's hand. Without hesitation, he held the bead and pressed it directly onto the bio-nanosuit he was wearing.

The next moment, black gold flowed.

The already modified nanosuit, upon being infused with pure demonic energy, instantly transformed into a writhing mass of black-gold molten lava. A massive aura dissipated, churning, and then instantly converged and collapsed towards its center. A few seconds passed swiftly. When everything calmed down, a dark armor, similar in appearance to the previous fitted bio-nanosuit but unmistakably luxurious, covered Si Ming's body. The main body was a lightweight suit of armor, with a cloak and leg guards at the back. A night-like luster flowed within, tinged with subtle starlight—he raised his hand; his face, seemingly unobstructed, was enveloped by an invisible layer of energy, while the micro-electromagnetic capabilities connecting the network and the HUD panel were still reflected in his retina, displaying the general situation around him.

Pure demonic energy flowed within the armor. It was undoubtedly a different kind of power, distinct from the aura of the dead, the flames of calamity, and the battle aura of night. And it was sufficiently pure and powerful.

"What's this?" Yu Zhiwei examined Si Ming's new equipment. "You really bought Ignis's NESTS battle suit... So are you going to use a whip to beat people up next?"

"It's not the NESTS battle suit, it just looks similar." Siming shook his head and gave his new armor a new name. "I call it the 'Nightmare Armor' to commemorate the short time I spent in the 'I Am Legend' world. And currently, it has several functions."

"First is...flight."

Subtle electromagnetic disturbances were generated, perhaps due to the absorption of the bio-nanosuit. This A-grade unofficial demon soldier possessed a special power primarily based on electromagnetic interference. The disturbed magnetic field lines thus constructed an anti-gravity field around Si Ming, perfectly enveloping him. The next moment, he was lifted into the air by the Night Demon Armor, reaching a high altitude.

The function of taking the first four was liberated.

He no longer needed to rely on their telekinetic abilities to move through the air. Instead, he could do it easily on his own. And unlike the composite telekinetic field, which, no matter how aerodynamically designed, could never reach the highway's lower speed limit of sixty kilometers per hour, he was able to quickly achieve subsonic flight maneuvers and supersonic long-distance cruising thanks to the Night Demon Armor.

'Boom—' A sonic boom.

The Millennium Falcon took flight. The onlookers stood atop the disc-shaped spaceship, watching as Siming maneuvered his new equipment, weaving and maneuvering through the sky, creating trails of air in the air. Some thoughts began to form in their minds.

Humans have always longed for the sky, because it is so clear and vast.

When you stand above the sky, the world seems, or rather, is indeed, beneath your feet.

"High-flying attacks, attacks on idiots," Luo Yinglong muttered, then slapped his forehead. "Luckily, I can fly too, it's just a pity I can't bring my body with me."

His soul then detached, and after a hundred days of cultivation, having surpassed the Great Perfection of Manifestation, he was now practically on the verge of possession. With the blessing of the Shu Mountain Sword Control Technique, the limitation that his soul could only exert half the power of his physical body in the Astral State was easily eliminated.

He soared into the air atop his Zhanlu sword, the almost weightless flying sword quickly catching up to Si Ming. However, just as he casually materialized, reaching out to greet Si Ming, who was testing the limits of his equipment's performance, a sudden burst of intense blood energy sent him and his flying sword lurching off course, crashing headlong into the ground not far away!

"Song Tian, ​​you bastard—"

Boom! A huge crater.

Standing atop the Millennium Falcon, Song Tian innocently tilted his head slightly. Luo Yinglong, along with his Zhanlu sword, plunged into the ground. By the time Luo Yinglong shakily rose and his soul and flying sword returned to their original forms, Si Ming's flight training had temporarily come to an end.

"Your maneuverability and cruising speed are both excellent. Congratulations, Captain, your air combat performance has now surpassed the standard values ​​of third-generation fighters. With just a suitable long-range weapon, you can try dogfighting with fourth-generation fighters at high altitudes."

Valentina glanced at the monitoring and assessment system on the Millennium Falcon. She gave a rather astonishing answer. "This data is already significantly higher than when you unleashed your full power on the ground… and Captain, you don't seem to have expended any energy?"

Regardless of cruising speed, his combat mobility has already reached subsonic speeds. Clearly, this is far beyond the combat power of a typical Tier 2, or even a weaker Tier 3. This means that he can unleash massive storms simply by casually swinging his fists and feet.

Si Ming landed on the Millennium Falcon.

His second-tier gene lock was not fully activated, and his body did not expand significantly. But the moment he stepped firmly onto solid ground, he exhaled softly, and his state rapidly transformed towards perfection.

"The Night Demon Armor amplifies all my attributes and consumes very little energy while flying. It allows me to focus on sensing the battlefield rather than being distracted by controlling my flight direction. It has some intelligent features, and in addition, it has some special functions."

Si Ming explained—A-grade equipment has always possessed abilities similar to 'True Name Release'. And the armor he was wearing was no exception. Now that the mobility enhancements had been clearly demonstrated, what remained to be tested were the increases in defense and destructive power.

but……

"That's enough for now," he said. The release of electromagnetic power might damage Valentina's Millennium Falcon and the prosthetics within her. They could test those powers at a suitable location later. Right now, he had some other matters to attend to.

There are still plenty of reward points. You could use them all to add more points, but the wishing process in the ingredient area is ultimately indispensable.

after all……

"I have something here that might require your help in analyzing."

He reached out and took out a small clay figure made of yellow earth from his dimensional ring. It had been inside his ring for ninety-nine days. And as soon as it broke free from the barrier of the spatial rift, it immediately emitted a radiant glow carrying a faint sense of oppressive power!
