Once again walking alone, Lu Ping’an breathed a sigh of relief.
"Why do I feel like I’m becoming more and more of a large-scale destructive weapon...."
At this point, looking back, Lu Ping’an realized that his professional path seemed to have gone wrong.
Ordinary professionals often don’t have means of large-scale damage, they try every possible way to acquire, having one or two types for necessary use is enough, most of them are used as the final means to perish together.
But on Lu Ping’an’s hands...
"From ’Redemption’ to the Storm Lance, the Little Flame, the Tree-man Army, Zhi Xi...now adding the Holy Fire and my Symbiotic Demon Plant, none of them are not large-scale destructive weapons."
If it were only one or two deviations, it could be said to be coincidence and luck, but every one of them has taken the path of "large-scale destructive weapons", even if Lu Ping’an doesn’t want to admit it, he must recognize that this might be his own problem.
Every professional has their own path, perhaps, from the very beginning, Lu Ping’an’s "preferences" were somewhat different from ordinary people.
When he stepped into the 18th layer again, it was completely different from before.
Silver armor wrapped around him, the silver patterns on the more than three meters tall heavy armor were faintly burning with holy fire, and Lu Ping’an, walking alone again, had chosen to be fully armed.
And under the giant armor, an adult evil beast was slowly moving forward.
Its saliva dripped onto the ground, immediately melting a large area, its path leaving high-temperature steam and a burning sensation.
Lu Ping’an sat on the Little Flame as if he was a giant riding his pony.
The gigantic armor held an equally gigantic lance, but considering the proportion of the body, it seemed excessively normal now.
In the underground palace full of beasts, being alone is itself a lure and provocation, a kind of arrogance that shouts "if you have the ability, come eat me" from miles away.
"Tsk, that’s interesting."
And the welcome swarm of beasts for Lu Ping’an came quickly, unusually fast.
"...Let’s have some fun."
Once Lu Ping’an confirmed that there were only Magic Monsters around him, the next moment, the surrounding air temperature rose by several tens of degrees directly.
Black silver armor once again spewed flames, the gaps of black smoke and blaze were full of ominous signs.
Black flame covered the silver armor, and the "Black Flame Generator" fully activated after being repaired, signifying that Lu Ping’an’s war-platform was officially online.
The Black Knight took a step forward, and the scorching breath gushed out, making the beasts instinctively retreat.
At this moment, Lu Ping’an accomplished the integration of all his abilities for the first time.
As the retreating beasts hesitated, the one who acted first was the side with seemingly "insignificant strength."
The black flame bloomed directly, turning the whole world into a sea of fire. The black blaze of annihilation activated by the "Black Flame Generator" was the land of life in the first place.
But what’s more dangerous is the gushing golden blaze.
It’s faster than light, covering the Magic Monsters’ bodies in an instant, tearing apart their defenses, making them only able to collide with the black blaze of annihilation.
As the flame-covered knight slowly moved forward, he had no intention of wielding his weapon, his mere presence was enough to make everything before him die a natural death.
Where the knight set foot, only dry corpses and wreckage remained. He was like an Apocalypse Knight who brought doomsday; his existence was a disaster in itself.
"...The consumption is much lower than expected."
At this moment, Lu Ping’an put on Zhi Xi’s heavy armor, but most importantly, he activated this whole battle system.
In the seemingly massive armor, there are actually many hollow parts...under normal circumstances, if Lu Ping’an dared to try any random fire protection here, the one who would die first would definitely be himself.
But now, these hollow areas are filled with orange vines.
Those are Sun Vines, part of Lu Ping’an’s body, but also an insulation layer for absorbing and drawing in heat.
"The annihilation flame’s destructive power against life is good, Purifying Fire turns to break the magic defense, once the flame takes hold, it cannot be extinguished; the cooperation between the two can be expected."
Zhi Xi’s "Black Flame Generator" ornament was constantly spewing black enemy fire, and the two flames didn’t merge...they simply piled up together and radiated out, causing disaster for everything around them.
At this time, Little Flame joined in the fun.
It created a no-go-zone with a scorching heatwave mixed with high-temperature flames, purifying flames, and a scorching fire ring.
Zhi Xi’s black flames, Lu Ping’an’s Purifying Holy Fire, and Little Flame’s blood-boiling blaze - once this combat platform was fully deployed, the three constantly maintained supernatural flames burned everything around them.
If it weren’t for the "Parasitic Tree" constitution, perhaps the first person who couldn’t bear it would be Lu Ping’an himself.
Now, he is constantly using the symbiotic body to absorb the heat and adjust his condition.
And those Sun Vines, heated to a perfect state by the flames, were quickly moving and wriggling inside the armor, becoming the "muscles" of the giant God.
Lu Ping’an recalled the "mount," but each step was actually the control and balance of this "new body."
Previously, this massive armor relied entirely on Zhi Xi’s own operation, perhaps delicate and sharp, but always lacking the most important "sense of power" of the armor.
Now that the Sun Vines have been filled in, this armor truly has a "giant" inside.
However, the occasional "tentacles" appearing from the joints and gaps make one feel subtle.
When he got rid of Little Flame’s support, walking itself became a job, and the difficulty of maintaining balance made Lu Ping’an feel that his reflex was more insufficient.
But at this moment, the Heavenly Boots were steadily playing their role, the steel feet stabilizing and supporting the giant God-like combat unit. And the gigantic lance in the knight’s hand was just an ordinary lethal weapon.
After completing the third-tier advancement, Lu Ping’an, for the first time, could fully integrate the chips in his hand.
1-tier Heavy Armor Warrior, 2-tier soldier, 3-tier Gardener, 2-tier Runner, 1-tier Holy Fire Prayer, 1-tier Tamer...all his abilities are at work within this platform.
The already advanced "Active Weapon Specialization" allows him to control the Sun Vines as if operating his own limbs and indirectly control the armor.
Lu Ping’an’s spirit was all focused on the subtle "puppet lines," and with each step, he felt more and more fused with the armor.
For the local Magic Monsters, this was undoubtedly a disaster.
The spewed flames made approaching a disaster in itself; many beasts rushed up, then either fled desperately or were directly turned into ashes by the triple flames.
The air was heated to the point of optical distortion, and this huge heat source was unintentionally announcing its existence to the entire underground palace.
