Chapter 268: Instant Kill!
"Ladies and gentlemen...audience!"
"Ladies and gentlemen! What now appears before your eyes is the latest generation of Armor developed by the Sigma Corporation! The Holy Angel Armor!"
"So beautiful! It's absolutely gorgeous! This Armor is just like a real Angel!"
As everyone stared at Denise's arrival in the ring with stunned expressions, the announcer was the first to snap back to reality and then began to shout hoarsely.
And with his shouting, the audience too came to their senses, soon followed by a tsunami of cheers.
Having the chance to witness the debut of a new generation of Armor firsthand, all the spectators were extremely excited, and so they erupted into the most enthusiastic shouting and cheering as they recovered from their initial shock.
Meanwhile, in the VIP box, the important figures present showed various reactions, some with looks of surprise, while others furrowed their brows, everyone deep in thought.
"What technology is this?"
After Holy Angel made such a conspicuous entrance, people like Aniye and the others in the VIP box naturally focused all their attention on this model of Armor. Unlike most of the others who were just there for the spectacle, they, being experts, were looking at the details and immediately saw the key point—the Magic Conduction Machine floating behind the Holy Angel Armor.
With the eyesight of these masters, it was clear that this unknown device was the core of the Armor, but even they had no idea what the device actually was.
This was not surprising; although the Holy Angel Armor was developed by Denise's own team, she and her group were part of the Sigma Corporation after all, so of course, the secrecy was very tight. It was impossible for outsiders to know any technical details regarding the Holy Angel Armor.
So when Aniye, Orton, Hammerfire, and Pelaya saw the Holy Angel Armor, they looked at each other in bewilderment.
In fact, like them, there were many who, although they knew the Holy Angel was a new generation of Armor, didn't know much about the specific configurations and actual combat power of this Armor. Given this situation, everyone became even more attentive, all wanting to see what was so special about this Armor touted as the latest generation?
Without a doubt, Holy Angel's entrance was extremely successful because it sparked everyone's curiosity and anticipation, which is precisely what Denise wanted.
So when she landed in the ring, she turned to look at the announcer with a clear message in her eyes, which was basically to cut the chatter and start the match!
In fact, not just her, after Holy Angel's appearance, everyone present, from every ordinary spectator in the bleachers to every VIP in the boxes, didn't want to hear any more idle talk. They all just wanted to see the match, to witness firsthand how formidable the Holy Angel Armor truly was.
The announcer clearly felt everyone's ardent gaze, so he stopped beating around the bush and directly announced the start of the match!
"The competition—begins!!"
With the announcer's drawn-out voice, this highly anticipated match finally got underway.
As the match started, Mishael, who had been waiting by the ring for some time, rose slowly and then descended gradually onto the platform.
During the process of stepping onto the ring, Mishael's movements were unusually clumsy and slow, because that's just how the Moving Fortress Type 2 Armor was designed. From the outset, this model of Armor sacrificed agility focusing entirely on heavy armor and formidable firepower. Still, don't underestimate this Armor just because of its lack of nimbleness; despite its poor maneuverability, its defensive power and offensive capability were extremely strong, just like its namesake—a Moving Fortress!
Upon reaching the ring, Mishael was the first to take action!
Wearing the heavy Armor, as soon as he stepped onto the platform, he activated his Defensive Net.
An observable magic energy defense net was deployed in an instant, and not just one, but three in succession!
"Oh...!!"
Even though everyone's focus was on Denise and the Holy Angel Armor, the sight of Mishael deploying three Defensive Nets in a row still drew a gasp from the audience.
The Mobile Fortress Type 2 Armor, which stands out the most for its defensive power, was designed from the outset to combat Demons. Therefore, it made significant strides in defense capabilities, not only equipped with armor several times thicker than the standard Armor but also installed with several Defensive Nets. Once all the Defensive Nets were deployed, it was virtually impossible for the Armor to take any damage.
Clearly, Mishael came prepared this time. Facing Denise and the latest generation of Holy Angel Armor, he evidently planned to adopt a defensive stance and rely on the formidable defensive power of the Mobile Fortress Type 2 to battle with Denise.
Of course, he never really thought he could actually defeat Denise. What Mishael truly wanted was to hold her off. To put it more bluntly, if he could just make Denise feel embarrassed, then he would achieve his goal.
Why?
Why did Mishael want to embarrass Denise?
It's simple, because that's what Uranus Corporation wanted him to do!
Denise's intent to showcase the new generation of Armor to the world in the Arena and thereby restore faith in Sigma Corporation was no secret. As Sigma's biggest competitor, Uranus Corporation naturally wouldn't let things go her way. They sent their own warriors to intercept her and planned to thwart Denise's plans from every angle.
So, when Denise's first opponent was confirmed, Uranus Corporation approached Mishael, offering tempting terms and providing him with the Mobile Fortress Type 2 Armor.
Yes, the Mobile Fortress Type 2 Armor that Mishael was wearing was supplied by Uranus Corporation, and before handing it over, they further modified and strengthened the Armor's defensive capabilities to an extent that made it even more formidable than the original.
Thus, do not underestimate the Mobile Fortress Type 2 Armor simply because it's only a fourth-generation Special Armor. That would be a huge mistake. After further modifications and enhancements, its defensive power, without discussing any other aspects, has far exceeded that of fourth-generation standards, and is not inferior even when compared to the fifth-generation Special Armors!
In such circumstances, if Denise was even slightly careless, the debut of the Holy Angel Armor would be ruined!
Having already calculated his strategy, Mishael ceased to act after deploying his Defensive Net. He knew that launching an attack was futile and that he couldn't defeat his opponent. His job was to wait for Denise to attack, and as long as she couldn't breach his defense, the Holy Angel's first match would be a flop, and his mission would be complete.
Similarly, the audience at the scene also turned their eyes to Denise and her Holy Angel Armor, waiting for her to make a move.
"Come on..."
"Hurry up and come at me..."
Enclosed within the Armor, Mishael muttered softly to himself while nervously sweating.
As if heeding his murmurs, Denise indeed made her move shortly after.
However, Denise herself did not move; she remained as gracefully poised in the ring as ever, but the eight conical Magic Conduction Machines hovering behind her Armor suddenly sprang into action!
The eight conical Magic Conduction Machines all unfolded and then aimed at Mishael like eight spikes.
What was she planning to do?
Seeing this, everyone in the audience was stunned. No one knew what Magic Conduction Machines were, so they had no idea what Denise was up to.
But at that moment, when everyone was looking at each other in confusion, eight beams of Magic Energy shot out without warning from the tips of the Magic Conduction Machines. Then, with a massive blast, Mishael, who had made all the preparations, was blown out of the ring!
With a thunderous crash, Mishael, who had been flung away, smashed into the wall of the Arena. The three Defensive Nets he had deployed were all shattered through, and his thick armor was pulverized!
