When 'God' Decides To Start Over-Chapter 995 - 383: The Strongest Demon Armor
"What the heck is this thing!" Li Xiu exclaimed, looking down at the Demon Armor he was wearing, his eyes twitching.
He wouldn’t be considered a true OCD patient, nor did he have particularly high aesthetic standards. He could accept ordinary designs, even those ragged clothes with ease.
But now, this set of Demon Armor made Li Xiu feel like his spirit was covered with a layer of embarrassing grime.
This Demon Armor wasn’t the traditional armor style; it looked more like a set of clothing, except everything was connected, including the shoes, hat, and goggles.
Li Xiu could accept these; even if you handed him a set of props from a masked knight, he’d take it calmly.
But no matter how you design it, it should look like a male style, right? What’s the deal with it being similar to a Pretty Soldier or Balala the Fairies style?
Admittedly, the Demon Armor didn’t expose the thighs; the whole body was covered, but it clearly featured over-knee boots and long gloves—what’s that about?
To say it’s similar to a Pretty Soldier is a bit much; at least it doesn’t have a skirt. The lower part is boots and a tight-fitting suit, with an outer protective skirt that’s indistinguishable from a real skirt, and the tight-fitting suit between the skirt and boots—looks exactly like that thing, and there’s even a scarf-like thing around the neck.
The only solace for Li Xiu was that the hat style somewhat resembled a motorcycle helmet. Overall, this Demon Armor looked like a female version of a masked superhero outfit.
Pure white Demon Armor appeared in different shades of white from various angles, giving a very peculiar feeling.
Li Xiu looked in the mirror, immediately dismantled the Demon Armor, allowing it to revert to bracelet form.
"Why’d you take it off so fast? We haven’t even started testing yet?" The old man hurriedly stepped forward and said.
"Old man, I’ve already verified for you that the Demon Armor can be used. The rest is for you to figure out." Li Xiu simply couldn’t go out wearing such a feminine Demon Armor.
"How the heck am I supposed to study it if no one but you can activate it?" The old man was quite frustrated.
"There’s nothing I can do about it; you made me swear never to touch this Demon Armor." Li Xiu quickly responded.
The old man knew Li Xiu didn’t take that oath seriously; otherwise, he wouldn’t have been so willing to test the Demon Armor initially.
"Li Xiu, let’s have a private chat." The old man knew where the issue lay, patiently pulled Li Xiu into his office, closed the door, and pulled down the blinds.
"Old man, I really can’t help you..." Li Xiu wanted to say more but was interrupted by a gesture from the old man.
The old man looked at Li Xiu seriously and said, "Do you know why this Demon Armor ended up looking like this?"
"How would I know? I remember before it was a half-finished product that looked like a more masculine formal outfit. How did it turn into this?" Li Xiu responded.
"When we completed this Demon Armor, it was extremely dangerous..." The old man slowly recounted the situation at the time.
Li Xiu, hearing how both the Demon Armor and the Light Energy Furnace almost exploded, could imagine how bad things were. If light energy of that magnitude exploded, the whole research institute would be destroyed instantly, and even Longevity City would be affected.
"I’m already at this age; if I die, I die. After all, this is my creation. Dying for my own creation, I have no regrets. But if something had indeed gone wrong, everyone at the institute would have gone down with me, a result I couldn’t accept. I didn’t want everyone dead and owe so many unpayable debts... Fortunately, someone stepped up at that time..." The old man’s expression became very heavy as he spoke.
"Even you couldn’t handle it; who had such ability?" Li Xiu was curious.
"With the situation almost out of control, and the Light Energy Furnace about to collapse, Hua Mei stepped in, using her Demon Armor and body to support the collapsing Light Energy Furnace, forcing it to hold until the Demon Armor took shape and all light energy was infused..."
The old man sighed, "In the end, the Demon Armor was completed, but Hua Mei lost her life."
"Hua Mei?" Li Xiu was stunned.
He remembered Hua Mei; she was a Magic Armor Master who came from Wansheng Town and was one of the few with special Spiritual Sense.
Li Xiu had previously approached her, hoping she would stand by his side and help consolidate the Technician Team.
But Hua Mei had refused then, leaving Li Xiu with a mediocre impression of her, thinking she was just another Ordinary Magic Armor Master without too much distinction.
Unexpectedly, Hua Mei sacrificed herself to help the old man complete the Demon Armor, so different from the Hua Mei he remembered.
"Thanks to Hua Mei’s sacrifice, we were able to complete this Demon Armor; otherwise, when the Light Energy Furnace collapsed, everything would have ended. We could never gather so many materials to try again. To be honest, some of the materials you previously gave me, I secretly kept for the Demon Armor’s creation, and those materials are almost impossible to find replacements for..."
