Chapter 1165: Scheme (IV)
A piercing radiance erupted from the Gold Armor and Li Hao looked away for a split second. A ball of light materialized out of the armor, leaving the equipment hovering in the air. Director General Wang’s body filled with life as well.
It was no longer a silent husk; light shone out of its eyes.
Li Hao silently glanced at it and placed the orange armor inside the star. The dao star began devouring the armor.
Director General Wang, or rather, Commander Wu, frowned at the sight. “It won’t wash away my core origin mark, will it? If it does, the armor...”
“It will not. Even if it does, we can just imprint your mark on it again.” Li Hao switched the topic. “Does the commander have any weapons that you use regularly? If so, you can also throw them in to be baptized. Otherwise, the world will suppress your weapon in the outside world and make it difficult for you to bring its full power to bear.”
“A weapon?” Commander Wu shook his head. “Just this armor is enough. I focus on defense—the reserve defenders are not deployed to the front lines, therefore...”
“I understand!” Li Hao nodded.
The commander looked around during this lull of action. “This thunder and lightning continuously gathers without dispersing. Does the new dao heavily target core origin?”
“Not to a great degree. They’re of the same origin, after all, but the new dao does show a stronger reaction compared to others. At the same time, this is strange,” mused a perplexed Li Hao. “They only gathered for a bit on previous occasions before dispersing. It’s been quite a while this time, and they’re increasing!
“Logically speaking, they should fade away after a bit... It’s my first time encountering this kind of situation. That’s fine, I’ll go back and ask the Sea Pacification Envoy and others. They know more than I do. Silver Moon and New Martial are of the same breath and branches. For the dao universe to target us so fiercely... Can it be that it’s discovered an external power?
“So it turns out that a dao universe can be unreliable at times too!” Li Hao burst into laughter. “Only the commander and I are here. Unless there’s power from a third party, such as the so-called Red Moon major world, then this shouldn't be happening. How very strange.”
