They traveled through time at the same time, but the villainous scientist

Chapter 114 The Wild Oukser Appears

Several days passed, but the atmosphere inside the Special Research Bureau was not as efficient and decisive as outsiders had imagined.

The upgrade of the ERP Institute signifies its transformation from a highly autonomous private institution into part of the state apparatus.

While this provides access to abundant resources, it also brings with it cumbersome processes and layers of approvals.

Starting a brand new project is far more complex than a matter of a single sentence from Ba Dou.

Moreover, Dr. Ke Guolong's concept of elemental armor was merely theoretical in the report, without any physical evidence, which is completely different from the armor project that has five light and shadow stones as irrefutable evidence.

Senior management had reservations about this, and the approval process was naturally put on hold.

Ba Dou ultimately funded Ke Guolong's research in his own name and brought him into the Ares Technology research group, which he was in charge of, to provide him with technical support, thus preventing the scientist's hard work from being abandoned halfway.

At the same time, he instructed Meizhen to utilize the intelligence resources of the new agency to begin an in-depth investigation of the company called "Tian Tian Hao Group".

His intuition told him that the eye of the storm was right there.

However, plans can never keep up with changes.

The piercing alarm suddenly shattered the tranquility of the research institute, and bright red warning lights flashed wildly in the corridor.

"This is... a new abnormal energy reaction?!"

Meizhen rushed to the control panel and frowned as she watched the energy index on the screen rise rapidly.

The scene shifts to a ferocious rhinoceros-like monster covered in a thick carapace rampaging through a city street, easily flipping a car over.

"Has the seal on the Demon-Sealing Box been broken again?"

She murmured to herself, her tone tinged with disbelief.

After the final battle, the Demon-Sealing Box, which was used to seal all fifty-four Demon Spirit Stones, was stolen by a monster that managed to escape at the last moment, and its whereabouts have been unknown ever since.

Unexpectedly, a new mutant beast appeared so quickly.

"uncertain."

Ba Dou stared intently at the monster's figure on the screen, his expression unusually grave.

"Let Ziyang go first."

He pondered for a moment, then spoke to Meizhen.

The essence of the Magic Stone is a channel connecting the other dimension and reality; it is a product formed by energy bodies from higher dimensions attaching to three-dimensional matter.

Since it is energy, its form is not static.

"understood."

Meizhen nodded immediately.

The Flame Dragon Warriors and the others have returned to their respective lives. Now, the only one who can immediately be deployed to carry out missions is the new Emperor Armor summoner, Li Ziyang.

……

On the other side of the city, inside a gym.

Sweat trickled down Li Ziyang's angular face, soaking the towel around his neck.

"Okay, I understand. Let's go right away!"

He hung up the call, his eyes instantly shifting from focused concentration during exercise to a sharp, eagle-like alertness.

His gaze fell on a specially made metal box in the wardrobe next to him.

Inside the box lay the imperial belt, engraved with the Tai Chi symbol.

The day has finally come.

He has been waiting for this moment for a long time.

On the streets, panicked crowds scattered like the receding tide, leaving behind a scene of devastation.

The rhinoceros monster wreaked havoc on everything, reveling in the thrill of spreading fear.

Just then, a dazzling golden beam of light descended from the sky and landed precisely in front of the monster.

As the light faded, Li Ziyang, dressed in casual clothes and now wearing the Emperor's Belt, appeared.

Upon seeing Li Ziyang's appearance, the rhinoceros monster stopped its destructive actions, its thick hind hooves pawing the ground as it let out a provocative growl.

"The time has come to end you."

Li Ziyang's voice was steady and powerful. He took a deep breath and reached down to remove the black and white yin-yang crystal from his neck.

The crystal was slowly embedded into the slot in the center of the belt.

"Emperor Armor, combine!" With a resounding shout, a beam of light shot into the sky.

Within the light, a suit of armor, flowing with golden radiance, majestic and sacred, covered his body.

The Imperial Armor has arrived.

With the unparalleled power of the Emperor Armor, Li Ziyang's battle was almost entirely dominated.

The rhinoceros monster's brute force appeared incredibly clumsy in the face of the Emperor's Armor.

Every heavy impact was easily neutralized by Li Ziyang, and the subsequent counterattacks precisely targeted the opponent's weak points.

In the command center, Meizhen looked at the Emperor Warrior, who was gaining the upper hand on the screen, and a relieved smile appeared on her face.

But Ba Dou, standing to the side, frowned more and more, feeling that something was wrong.

He remained silent, his fingers flying across the keyboard, activating all the sensors to conduct in-depth analysis of the battlefield data.

On the battlefield, the battle between the Emperor Armor and the rhinoceros monster continued to shift, and soon they arrived at an abandoned factory area.

Li Ziyang seized an opening and sent the monster flying with a powerful punch, deciding not to delay any longer.

With a flick of his wrist, the Aurora Sword was already in his grasp.

The golden blade was raised high, drawing upon intense energy.

"Emperor Sealing Demon Slash!"

A sword aura burning with raging flames shot out, like a roaring fire phoenix, instantly sweeping past the rhinoceros monster's body.

However, the anticipated scene of explosion and disintegration did not occur.

The fiery sword energy pierced through its body, and the rhinoceros monster only staggered back a few steps, leaving a charred slash mark on its body, before roaring again.

It actually withstood this fatal blow.

"what?!"

Li Ziyang's pupils contracted sharply, and he was momentarily unable to react.

"Oh no, Ziyang! That thing isn't a mutant beast!"

Just then, Ba Dou's roar exploded from the communicator.

"Impossible! Didn't we receive a clear signal of abnormal energy?"

Mei Zhen asked in bewilderment, as this completely overturned their previous understanding.

"No, I mean, that thing isn't just a mutant beast!"

Ba Dou took a deep breath and explained very quickly.

It does contain the strange energy of the magic stone, but it is mostly an unfamiliar bio-energy.

The two energies combine in a bizarre way, giving it both the characteristics of a mutant beast and a physical strength far exceeding that of other mutant beasts of the same level.

Just like those mutated creatures in the movie who were forcibly injected with energy by the Shadow Guardians, its essence has changed.

The sealing energy of the Emperor's Demon-Sealing Slash is much less effective against this hybrid.

On the other side, Li Ziyang wanted to ask for more details through communication, but a sharp gust of wind suddenly came from behind him.

His fighting instincts outpaced his thinking; he swung his Aurora Sword with a backhand, narrowly blocking the fatal blow.

With a clang, metal clashed.

However, before he could see the attacker clearly, another figure, as swift as lightning, darted out from the shadows on the other side like a ghost.

The shadowy figure unleashed a series of high-speed claw strikes, all of which landed on the chest and side of the Emperor Armor.

Bang bang bang!
The sudden, heavy blow caught the Emperor Armor off guard, causing it to lose its balance and fly sideways, rolling several times on the gravel ground before coming to a stop.

"hateful!"

Li Ziyang struggled to sit up and looked ahead.

Three figures, arranged in a triangle, were closing in on him step by step.

Leading the pack was that thick-skinned rhinoceros monster.

On either side of it stood a lithe, wolf-like monster exuding a cruel aura, and the last of the alien beasts they had been searching for, known as Demon Ten.

Is his first battle going to end in such a disgraceful manner?
