Chapter 350 True Golden Crow Armor

Ximu Realm, on the open ground outside the command center.

The heroes of the League surrounded 100,000 tons of vibranium.

"My God—"

Barry Allen ran a lap around the mine, then suddenly stopped in front of everyone and said.

"I just ran around it three times, and he brought back a cube-shaped mountain?"

"Heavier than many mountains."

Thor weighed his Mjolnir in his hand, then looked at the mine before him.

"How did he manage to transport this thing here without causing a spatial collapse, given its density?"

No one could answer his question.

All eyes were focused on the figure standing atop the peak, receiving the admiring gazes of the crowd.

"How about that? I'm awesome, aren't I!"

Xiu En stood with his hands on his hips, head held high, his face beaming with smug satisfaction. He shone brightly in the eternal sunlight of the Xi Mu Realm, like a deity receiving the worship of his followers.

The sunflower on his shoulder, too, mimicked his posture, its two small leaves clasped on its hips, its flower head held high, exuding an air of pride and glory.

"Well done, Shuen!"

Johnny Storm was the first to cheer loudly as he flew around in the air.

"I knew you could do it! Now we have enough materials to turn Kang's fleet into scrap metal!"

"An incredible feat."

Diana also sincerely praised it.

"You bought us the most precious time."

"Well done, Xiu En!"

Tony Stark's projection flew in front of Shum and gave him a thumbs up.

"Later, I'll have Pepper Potts present you with a pure gold trophy for Supplier of the Year in the name of Stark Industries!"

Of course, the trophy is also made of vibranium!

Hearing the constant stream of praise, Xiu En felt a sense of comfort emanating from the inside out.

However, this harmonious praise session was soon interrupted by a discordant voice.

"The vibranium reserves already exceed the needs for manufacturing the existence-locked armor. I propose using the surplus to build an orbital defense weapon, the End Train Cannon!"

The one speaking was a Batman projection from a war-torn country whose technological development was heavily biased towards military industry.

"A train-mounted cannon?"

Tony raised an eyebrow.

"Dude, are you living in the 19th century? We're in interstellar warfare now, who still uses that stuff?"

The Batman completely ignored Tony's taunts, and an incredibly large and complex design instantly appeared on the main screen.

"The railway gun I designed uses vibranium as its core for the projectile, which is accelerated to near-light speed using electromagnetic force, and is equipped with a space collapse beacon before firing. It can detonate directly in the space where the target is located, causing absolute spatial annihilation within a radius of 500 kilometers."

The demonstration of the design drawings caused many people present to gasp in astonishment.

"This is an absolutely ingenious and insane design!"

Reed Richards exclaimed in amazement.

But his praise was immediately interrupted by the other dozen or so Batmen.

"turn down."

Bruce from the world of Xiuen refused, saying, "The cost-effectiveness is too low. The construction period exceeds forty-eight hours, which is not a solution for our immediate needs."

"turn down."

A more rugged Batman added.

"The target is too large and lacks concealment; in the face of Kang's causal weapon, the probability of it being deleted is one hundred percent."

O

"turn down."

Thomas Wayne's voice sounded very tired.

"Its hit rate against single, hypersonic targets is zero; it can only be used to clear out stationary starships or grunts. It's inefficient."

"Most importantly..."

Another Batman spoke, his voice laced with sarcasm.

"Didn't you build one before? And what happened? You wasted so many materials, and it was scrapped after only one shot."

We don't have that many resources for you to waste.

The train-gun Batman, attacked by a mob, flickered a few times before finally falling silent after being refuted by a dozen well-reasoned and relentless professionals.

"All right."

Tony watched this hilarious scene of "insiders criticizing each other" and almost burst out laughing.

"The Batman Board of Directors has rejected your budget request. Next."

At this moment, Xiu En's voice broke the flow of the meeting.

"Wait a moment."

Xiu En looked at the design drawings, which were full of violent aesthetics, with great interest, his golden eyes gleaming.

"The train cannon sounds interesting."

"You launch a big thing at high speed with a 'biu' sound, and then blow the enemy to pieces with a 'B00M' sound. I like this idea; it's simple and efficient."

His evaluation, based purely on visual appeal and sound effects, left all the meticulous scientists and tacticians present with expressions that left them speechless.

The Batman projection on the train cannon, which had been disheartened, lit up slightly again, looking at Xiu En with the eyes of someone who had found a kindred spirit.

"Yes! This is precisely the design philosophy of the End Train Cannon: to bring about absolute destruction with absolute power!"

"Don't listen to him, Xiu En."

Bruce from the world of Shuen immediately interrupted.

"We have rejected this proposal. Its disadvantages far outweigh its advantages."

"I know it has drawbacks: it's too bulky, too energy-consuming, and easy to destroy."

Xiu En nodded, indicating that he was listening.

"but!"

"It's so cool!"

This reason made everyone on the technical team collectively facepalm.

"Being cool won't put food on the table, nor will it win a war."

Tony muttered helplessly.

"Even if we wanted to build it, we don't have the time to make this cool for you right now."

"Who said you were supposed to build it?"

A voice came from Xiu En's shoulder. The sunflower raised her small flower head, pointed with two leaves at the complicated design, and gave him a look that said, "You guys are so stupid."

"Using metals and electromagnetism is obviously slow and clumsy. But if we use plants to simulate it, wouldn't that work?"

"Use plants?"

Reed Richards suspected that his auditory system was also beginning to experience causal disorder.

"Miss, I must remind you that plant photosynthesis cannot generate the enormous energy required to power a sub-light speed projectile, nor can its fibrous structure withstand it."

"That's an ordinary plant."

Sunflower interrupted him without any politeness.

"The plants of the Ximu Realm bask in the true sun, drink the essence of life, and are rooted in the laws of nature. They can launch even faster-than-light projectiles, let alone sub-light speeds."

With a flick of her leaf, another sketch appeared next to the design, a sketch she had created with her imagination, full of the beauty of nature and life.

Like a little teacher, she began to explain her corn cannon super-evolution plan to this group of top scientists.

"First, the cannon barrel."

She pointed to a green plant on the sketch.

"We use the trunk of the World Tree as the cannon barrel. Its internal fibers have a natural superconducting structure, and it is wrapped with a layer of vibranium vines to confine energy and reinforce it."

"Secondly, artillery shells."

She then pointed to a plant next to her that was covered with huge golden corn.

"This is our Golden Crow Cannon. Every kernel of corn is a highly compressed crystallization of Xiu En's Golden Crow Divine Fire energy and the life force of the Xi Mu Realm. It is itself a miniature solar bomb."

"The most crucial aspect is the launch principle."

The sunflower proudly shook its flower head.

"We don't need cumbersome electromagnetic rails. Plant roots will penetrate directly into the earth's veins, drawing power from the entire world. And those vibranium vines will form a circular biomagnetic field. When the Golden Crow Corn is loaded into the cannon, the entire cannon will act like a giant slingshot, launching it with the will of the entire world!"

Sunflower cleared her throat and announced the official name of this groundbreaking weapon in an extremely proud tone.

"I call it the Will of the Dawnwood Realm: Super Electromagnetic Corn Train Cannon!"

'

,, "6

"You've been infected by Xiu En?"

Apart from Bruce from the world of Shuen, no one else knew what to say for a moment.

The Train Cannon Batman, looking at the sunflower design, exclaimed, "Yes! That's it! Using the will of the world as a slingshot! Miss Goddess, could you send me a complete copy of the design? I'm willing to give anything for it!"

Xiu En looked at the group of intelligent people who were now frozen in shock, and gave the approval with satisfaction.

"Problem solved. We'll provide the materials, we have the technology, all that's left is to build this thing, then find a spot and aim it at Kang's forehead, right?"

"But? This—"

Clark tried to raise some rational questions, but he didn't know where to begin.

"No buts needed."

Xiu En waved his hand.

"I think this plan is great. Xiaohua, Ivy, what do you think?"

A smiling thought came from the giant tree outside the command center.

【I agree. Furthermore, I can equip the corn-based cannonballs with tracking and automatic splitting capabilities. One mother shell can split into ten thousand submunitions, and each submunition, upon landing, can grow into a new, smaller corn-based cannon.】

"Did you hear that? Buy one get 10,000 free, plus automatic multiplication and fully automated three-dimensional firepower coverage."

Xiuen proudly announced.

"Who's in favor? Who's opposed?"

Having reached a consensus on using botany to solve the problem of railguns, the technical geniuses on site unleashed an extraordinary level of efficiency, as if they had given up after a do-or-die attitude.

With the terrifying multi-threaded processing capabilities of more than a dozen Batmen, Clark's Eternal Armor became the perfect blueprint.

While all the heroes' armors were in the midst of a busy production queue, the technical team prioritized completing the first and most important custom armor.

Its owner was Xiu En.

"Existing Lock-On Armor - Prototype - Golden Crow Edition!"

-

Tony Stark stood beside the magnificent armor floating in mid-air, proclaiming its name like a proud designer, completely ignoring the glares from the Bruce brothers around him that told him not to give the weapon such a childish name.

This suit of armor was even thinner and more ornate than Clark's. Its main body was made of an alloy with a dark golden luster, and the breastplate was branded with a three-legged golden crow totem with outstretched wings. The edges of each armor plate were adorned with patterns of crimson-gold divine fire that seemed to never go out. The back hem, like a phoenix tail, cascaded to the ground, and was even decorated with a few gems generously provided by Stark.

Bruce began his introduction.

"Considering your energy characteristics, this armor is more like an amplifier and a stabilizing anchor. It is perfectly compatible with your Golden Crow Divine Fire, locks in your own concept of existence, and can store your overflowing energy for future use."

Simply put...

Tony concluded.

"Wearing this on you makes you look cool, you're good at fighting, and it can even double as a power bank. Perfect!"

"Looks good."

Xiu En nodded in satisfaction.

"It's just that wearing it feels a bit troublesome."

He snapped his fingers as soon as he finished speaking.

A beam of light distorted slightly beside him, and a projection of Xiu En emerged.

The clone walked towards the suit of armor.

As he approached, the armor disintegrated, transforming into countless streams of light that adhered to his body, perfectly merging with it. The golden divine fire and the patterns on the armor complemented each other, making him appear like a celestial war god who had stepped out of mythology.

"It feels alright."

The clone moved its limbs, feeling the power within its body that was firmly locked in place.

"The hem is a bit long, making it easy to step on yourself while walking. Thumbs down."

Both the main body and the clone looked at the sunflower at the same time.

"Little Flower, where's our big guy?"

"Ready."

As Ivy directed her thoughts, the ground beneath their feet began to rise violently!

A gigantic corn cob burst forth from the depths of the earth! Its muzzle pointed straight to the sky. Thick, vibranium vines, shimmering with a blue glow, reinforced the entire cannon on both sides.

The Will of the Dawnwood Realm - Super Electromagnetic - Corn Train Cannon, V1.0 Beta, is now deployed!

Wow!

All the heroes present, including the technical team, were once again awestruck by this creation, which was filled with the aura of life and destruction.

"Alright, we have the new clothes and the new cannon."

Xiu En stood up with satisfaction and looked at his clone.

"It's time for a real-world test. We need to see how big the difference is between the buyer's photos and the seller's photos, right?"

He beckoned to the projection of the train-cannon Batman: "Give me a copy of all the known world coordinates of your Kangzhi Council."

"OK."

Xiu En didn't even look at it, casually waving his fingers through the air a few times before selecting one of the industrial worlds codenamed Kronos.

"Target selected, Kronos timeline."

"very good."

Xiu En nodded, then looked at the huge corn cannon.

"Little Flower, load the shot!"

The corn fell to the ground and was lifted by several vines and fed into the green cannon barrel.

Loki.

Xiu En looked at the communication screen again.

"Come open the door."

""

"I'd be happy to help."

Loki bowed, and with a wave of his scepter, a portal to the world of Kronos unfolded steadily before the muzzle of the corn cannon.

"Alright, everything is ready."

Wearing the technologically advanced Golden Crow armor, Xiu En's clone arrived in front of the train cannon. The train cannon automatically shrank, shrinking to about the same height as Xiu En. It vibrated for a while, seemingly wanting to shrink further, but it had already reached its limit.

Xiu En carried the corn-shaped railway gun, which was almost as tall as him, on his shoulder with one hand.

"I'm off, everyone. Stay tuned for my good news!"

He stepped through the portal to an unknown world.

Scene change.

The sky was a dim, brassy color, and the sun was nowhere to be seen.

"Wow, the air quality here is even worse than Gotham before I cleaned it up."

Xiu En wrinkled his nose and sighed sincerely.

He hovered above a pyramid-shaped factory. He could see two kinds of people walking densely packed together on the city streets.

One type is tall, uniformly designed combat robots that patrol while wielding energy weapons.

The other group consisted of civilians dressed in grey prison uniforms, their faces expressionless, being herded like livestock by robots into various factories to work. These people came from different races: humans, Asgardians, Skrulls, and even a few Kree with pointed ears. They all wore energy collars that crackled with electricity, their eyes vacant like those of walking corpses.

"It looks like one of Kang's large slave labor camps and arsenals."

Inside the Ximu Realm command center, Bruce calmly analyzed the images transmitted back by Xiu En.

"Those bastards!"

Steve Rogers clenched his fist.

Xiu En found the top of the tallest building, crouched down like a sniper, and steadily set up the corn-shaped train cannon on his shoulder. Ivy's consciousness connected across dimensions, and the vibranium vine patterns on the cannon began to glow faintly.

"Target locked, main gun charging at 30%."

The sunflower reported from his shoulder.

"It can be launched at any time."

He could see tens of thousands of ordinary people, like worker bees, working tirelessly in that central factory.

"Ivy, pause for now."

"What's wrong?"

"There are civilians in the shooting window, you silly little flower."

"You're the idiot. I just told you the charging is complete. Hmm, what do you want to do?"

"Of course, we should get rid of all the troublesome henchmen first."

Xiu En's clone stood up from the top of the tower. The golden patterns on the surface of the existence-locking armor he wore, crafted by the technical team, lit up!

At the same time, golden divine fire erupted from his body! That was the true Golden Crow Battle Armor belonging to his original form!

Two sets of armor with completely different styles resonated in a wonderful way at this moment!

Streams of divine power coiled around the technologically crafted metal armor plates. Before the astonished eyes of the onlookers, technology and mythology began to merge. The technological armor seemed to melt, seeping into every corner of the Golden Crow armor, providing it with a solid anchor point for its existence.

As the light faded, a brand-new, magnificent set of divine armor appeared before everyone. It possessed both the majesty and divinity of the Golden Crow, as well as the sharpness and streamlined design of futuristic technology. On the dark gold armor plates, golden flames burned as if they could purify everything.

"Wow!" Tony exclaimed, practically drooling as he looked at the armor, which was comparable to the ultimate evolution of the Mark armor. "I've decided! Our next generation of armor will be made like this!"

"True Golden Crow Divine Armor, activate."

Xiu En's clone clenched his fist, feeling the power within him, and nodded in satisfaction.

He put away the corn-shaped train cannon, moved swiftly, and plummeted from the sky, landing in the city center square.

"Intrusion alert! High-energy life form detected!"

All the patrol robots around him instantly pointed their guns at him.

But Xiu En's clone simply stood there with his arms outstretched.

He released a soft golden halo centered on himself.

The halo spread out.

The red lights representing slaughter on all the robots swept by the halo went out. Their energy weapons fell to the ground, their metal bodies collapsed to their knees, and they finally dissipated into the air.

As for the enslaved commoners, when they were touched by the halo, the energy collars around their necks shattered with a snap! Countless streams of life-giving energy surged into their numb and withered bodies, dispelling their long-standing fatigue.

They looked up at the golden figure floating in mid-air, radiating endless light and heat, and a flame of hope rekindled in their eyes.
