173: Chapter 172 [Flame Dragon Armor]!

Chapter 172 [flame dragon armor]!!

However, at the same time, deep confusion and fear welled up in Sun Po's heart.

Yes, fear—a fear of unknown and powerful existences.

The multicolored giant hand that twice emerged from Sun Po's [mod loading system], along with that mysterious female voice,

[Remember our website domain, Taiwan Novel Network, for a great reading experience and easy reading]

all made Sun Po feel a vague sense of fear in his heart.

Could his relationship with that multicolored giant hand be similar to that of the [Son of the Red Emperor] to the Red Emperor? And what was the purpose of that mysterious existence?

With such unknown existences inside the [mod loading system], it was hard for Sun Po not to be afraid.

Yet, just as he was feeling anxious, a female voice as gentle as drizzle suddenly sounded in his ear—a voice that had appeared before when the multicolored giant hand manifested to support the [Fragment of Brahma's Navel Stone].

"Child, you are our last hope—"

Sun Po hurriedly shouted, "Who on earth are you?"

However, the multicolored hues in the sky slowly faded away, and Sun Po abruptly snapped out of his own hallucinatory scene,

before his eyes was still the room, and still the system panel of the [Five Elements Bloodline]. At this moment, the multicolored dragon-patterned crystal spar beneath the panel had vanished without a trace.

Among the five beads representing the five elements, a crimson bead radiating a multicolored halo had completely seized the initiative.

It was spinning far faster than before, and its rotation speed and brightness had already surpassed the dark black bead representing the power of the water element.

Sun Po even faintly saw a crimson long dragon with its body emitting a faint five-colored flame fighting with a dark black rhinoceros whose surface was covered with mysterious dark patterns.

The dragon's horns and the rhino's horn clashed and collided, and the dragon's tail lashed at the dark black rhino. The dark black rhino struggled to fight back, but was still beaten back step by step.

Seeing this, Sun Po's heart couldn't help tightening. Could it be that because the power of the five elements in his [Five Elements Bloodline] was uneven and of varying strengths, it caused water and fire to be incompatible within his body, leading to a disorder of the five elements?

But if that were the case, his body should have some abnormal symptoms, after all, it was his own bloodline,

if something went wrong, it should immediately reflect on his body, but at this moment Sun Po did not feel any abnormality.

Moreover, upon closer observation, Sun Po found that the crimson long dragon entirely wrapped in multicolored flame seemed to be fighting with the dark black rhino merely as if playing and frolicking,

locking horns with its dragon horns, slapping with its dragon tail, or provoking the phantom of the dark black rhino before quickly flying away itself, somewhat resembling a naughty child's mischief.

"Could it be that the [chaos fire seed] burrowed into the dragon-patterned crystal spar and actually gave birth to life?"

The more Sun Po thought about it, the more possible he felt it was. When he once again controlled his mind to enter the system's custom mod interface to craft the [flame dragon armor] mod,

he suddenly felt as though a small multicolored flame had appeared in his consciousness. It was precisely that [chaos fire seed] from before, which had now appeared within Sun Po's consciousness.

Sun Po felt that this little flame was like a part of his own consciousness, yet it also seemed to possess its own awareness within itself.

The feeling was very wondrous, as if he had gained an extra perspective, but that perspective seemed to have a weakly intelligent assistant with a certain degree of self-awareness,

as if it were a tentacle extended from Sun Po's consciousness, and this tentacle possessed a faint self-awareness of its own.

Sun Po had never experienced such a novel sensation. He tried continuously switching his mind between this chaotic little flame and his own main perspective,

while also feeling that faint consciousness's affection toward him as if toward a father or mother. He tried transmitting the thought to that consciousness not to fight with the bead representing the water element's power anymore.

Sure enough, the crimson long dragon phantom wrapped in multicolored flame immediately dived into the crimson bead.

The five beads returned to the five corners of a stable pentagonal position and began to rotate individually.

Sun Po found it quite interesting, and at the same time roughly guessed the reason why this conscious little flame appeared in his consciousness.

Through the previous event where the [chaos fire seed] burrowed into the dragon-patterned crystal spar, followed by the illusions of the Red Emperor, the crimson long dragon, and that huge multicolored finger, he vaguely felt in his heart

that the dragon blood crystal spar contained a strong fire element power, whereas the [chaos fire seed] seemed to be some kind of fire elemental embryo containing a weak consciousness.

Out of instinct, it was interested in things containing fire element power, and the [chaos fire seed], which smelted a hundred fires and carried a trace of chaotic aura, was far stronger in power than that drop of [Red Dragon Essence Blood].

Therefore, after it burrowed in, it easily devoured the power contained within that drop of [Red Dragon Essence Blood], and this power happened to allow the embryo to reach the extent of giving birth to consciousness.

But this newborn consciousness did not expect that there was a wisp of the Red Emperor's consciousness or divine soul inside the crystal spar, and thus it fell into a trap.

Fortunately, the multicolored power within Sun Po's [mod loading system] had a greater origin than the Red Emperor, thus rescuing it without any mishap.

Furthermore, hearing the crimson phantom suspected to be a wisp of the Red Emperor's divine soul say after pinching the crimson long dragon that it seemed to be its own bloodline,

and connecting this with the relationship between the [chaos fire seed] and [Vermilion Bird] Jiang Yan, Sun Po had basically concluded in his heart that the so-called Red Emperor was likely the "Yan" of the Yanhuang Ancient Country—

namely the legendary ancestor of the Jiang Family—the [Flame Emperor], Shennong.

Only, why did this Red Emperor not seem to stand on the same side as humanity, but instead appeared to be a mighty figure among monsters?

Coupled with [Zhuang Zhou] from earlier, Sun Po truly could not figure out the relationship between extraterritorial monsters and humanity.

However, the [chaos fire seed] left behind by [Vermilion Bird] Jiang Yan for Sun Po seemed to have no hidden tricks. This female Titled Card Maker was rare in being consistent inside and out, straightforward and direct.

As for the Red Emperor's hidden trap, he was not surprised at all.

Back when [Liu Bang, Son of the Red Emperor] gave this thing to Sun Po, he had already faintly guessed that it might contain a mighty figure like the Red Emperor's hidden trap,

but at the time he chose to trust his own [mod loading system], and facts proved that his belief was not wrong.

The strength of the existence behind the [mod loading system] seemed to far surpass the Red Emperor,

with just a single finger, it directly crushed the Red Emperor's hidden trap into nothingness. It was just a pity that Sun Po still did not know the true identity of that gentle female voice.

However, those capable of suppressing the Red Emperor Shennong were truly few and far between. Sun Po already had a guess before, and after this incident, he was even more certain.

If it really was that person, then the origin of this [mod loading system] was truly astonishingly large. But that person said I am their last hope?

Who were they? Chaotic demon gods? Ancient gods? Or humanity? Why the last hope? What on earth were they facing?

Sun Po did not like this feeling of not being able to see anything clearly and not being able to control anything, but at this moment he profoundly realized that

if even these existences had things they were powerless to face, then his true understanding of this world probably didn't even count as the tip of the iceberg.

His curiosity grew even heavier. What on earth existed outside the territories? And what on earth was humanity facing?

Thinking for a moment, he suppressed the multitude of distracting thoughts in his heart.

No matter what, strive to become stronger first. Meals must be eaten bite by bite, and roads must be walked step by step.

At this moment, the fire element power in the [Five Elements Bloodline] was thriving, so he should strike while the iron is hot to craft the [flame dragon armor].

But when he opened the custom mod interface and looked at the [chaos fire seed] in his consciousness that had already learned to frolic, Sun Po was in a dilemma once again.

Previously, he always used spiritual guidance to mold various materials into different mod shapes, and then supplemented them with spiritual value to make them take shape.

If this [chaos fire seed] were an ordinary, unremarkable material, it would naturally be fine; but right now it seemed to already possess consciousness, faintly counting as life.

Moreover, this [chaos fire seed] had already melted into his own bloodline, and the born consciousness seemed quite affectionate toward him. To craft it into the [flame dragon armor] mod just like this? Would it directly kill this newborn consciousness?

However, the five-colored little flame seemed to have heard Sun Po's inner voice, leaping straight up and instantly appearing in the custom mod interface.

"How did this thing jump in? Could it be that my consciousness is connected to the [mod loading system] itself? So it can freely shuttle through it?"

Sun Po felt strange in his heart, but then saw that after the five-colored little flame leaped into the custom mod interface, it slowly approached the colorful jelly-like substance in the center of the group. Sun Po knew that this colorful jelly-like substance was the base that formed mods every time he customized one.

It was just like molten iron poured into a mold when forging ironware; it was the physical entity that ultimately formed the mod.

And the volume of the colorful jelly-like substance also looked far larger than the [chaos fire seed]. The two multicolored little things first tentatively extended their tentacles toward each other like two snails,

and before long they were bumping and cuddling against each other in a very affectionate manner, and then directly melted together.

That mass of colorful jelly-like substance unexpectedly seemed as if it had caught fire, turning into a "burning multicolored jelly"

and continuously bouncing up and down within the interface.

Sun Po couldn't help laughing dumbly. He actually felt that he understood the little thing's meaning: "Is it urging me not to dawdle and to be faster?"

Sun Po was also somewhat amused. Turns out this little thing was quite impatient. However, fire among the five elements inherently gave people the impression of being active or even irritable, so being impatient was normal.

But looking at this posture, this little thing not only wasn't afraid of being crafted into a mod, but even seemed quite enthusiastic.

Could it be that after crafting it into the [flame dragon armor], the consciousness of this [chaos fire seed] could continue to exist?

Forget it, thinking too much is useless; trying it out firsthand will reveal the answer.

Thinking this, Sun Po directly hooked his spirituality onto that multicolored "burning jelly".

The multicolored burning jelly was kneaded into round or flat shapes at will according to Sun Po's thoughts, and that "burning jelly" also transmitted a wave of playful and joyful emotion to Sun Po.

With single-minded devotion, Sun Po began to recall various information in his mind regarding the appearance, settings, combat scenes, and other aspects of the [flame dragon armor].

In 《Armor Hero - Legend of Light and Shadow》, the [flame dragon armor] could be said to be the most overpowered armor. As a regular armor, Flame Dragon could even exchange a couple of moves with the ultimate [emperor armor],

um, although it was just two moves. But whether it was the performance when fighting against energy beasts in the show, or the proud record of once repelling the [emperor armor] back two steps,

the [flame dragon armor] in the original show looked half a tier stronger than the other four armors. Of course, it was also possible that it was caused by the team leader Xinnan being far stronger in strength than the summoners of the other four armors.

According to the settings in the original show, the [flame dragon armor] was the most balanced set among the five sets of armor.

In terms of defense, it fell short of the [Black Rhino Armor]; in terms of strength, it fell short of the Snow Mastiff Armor; in terms of speed, it fell short of the Wind Hawk Armor; in terms of explosive power and endurance in combat, it fell short of the Earth Tiger Armor.

But if one were to say that the [flame dragon armor] was weak because of this, that would be a huge mistake. One must know that balance on one hand meant having no particularly prominent points, but on the other hand it also meant having no shortcomings.

Although the [flame dragon armor] was slightly weaker than the other four armors in their respective areas of expertise, in other attributes, the [flame dragon armor] was uniformly stronger than the remaining four armors.

The reason why the [flame dragon armor] could become the captain's mecha in the original show was, besides having no shortcomings, also because its own potential was the strongest among the five armors,

and its energy consumption was also the slowest among the five armors. In the original show, there even appeared the famous scene where two summoners summoned the [flame dragon armor] at the same time to carry out a "Double Dragon Battle".

Besides this, in the official settings, the power source of the [emperor armor] was the sun and the Heavenly Way, whereas the power source of the [flame dragon armor] was also the sun, but it did not mention the so-called Heavenly Way.

Yet its strongest potential and performance far surpassing the other four armors made it hard for people not to associate this with whether there were any unknown secrets hidden within.

Aside from the settings, there was the aspect of styling. The design inspiration for the [flame dragon armor] came from the dragons of ancient Huaxia,

and its image was identical to the [Red Dragon], which could be said to be extremely fitting.

The armor's design was basically based on a crimson red tone, interspersed with colors such as yellow and silver. Compared to the heavy armor of the [Black Rhino Armor], the overall styling leaned more toward a comprehensive type of armor.

During combat, it mainly used fist techniques and held three types of weapons: the Flame Saber, Flame Bow, and [Flame Dart].

In addition, it also possessed a mount capable of traversing heaven and earth like the Flame Dragon Steed, which could be called a luxurious configuration.

It was capable of both ranged and close combat, and its mobility was also extremely strong.

To try his best to ensure the success rate, Sun Po had always adhered to staying as close to the original show as possible when making custom mods.

But the [flame dragon armor] crafted by Sun Po using the [chaos fire seed] plus the [Red Dragon Essence Blood] as a foundation had a foundation that was simply far stronger than the original show's version.

Therefore, Sun Po planned to make the appearance according to the original show, but his conception of its performance, skills, and armor characteristics could no longer stick to the original show—at least he had to try his best to make changes and attempts.

Otherwise, when crafting the [Earth Tiger Armor] in the future, Sun Po could hardly imagine whether he would also have to make a "Tigger" according to the original show.

Since this wasn't his first time crafting an armor mod, Sun Po was not unfamiliar with shaping its appearance, adjusting forms, and giving the armor positioning.

Within an hour, a red-and-silver humanoid armor featuring red dragon elements, with a styling that combined rigidity with certain soft lines, appeared in the center of the custom mod interface.

Aside from its details looking more exquisite and magnificent, and its material having more of a metallic feel, its originally dark blue goggles body also turned into pure black, making the armor body look even more mysterious.

After adjusting some details, Sun Po nodded in satisfaction.

[flame dragon armor]!! It's done!!
