A whole row of crystals, differing in form and color, appeared before Cheng Tian.
These were the various Tekkaman transformation crystals developed from Iron Man Blade—
Iron Man Rebia (short sword), Iron Man Daga (dagger), Iron Man Sudu (long blade), Iron Man Axe (axe), Iron Man Lance (spear), and Iron Man Ibill (demon).
Yes, that was right. Cheng Tian had gotten a little carried away and used the massive stockpile of Red Souls he had accumulated to collect every standard Tekkaman transformation crystal in one go!
It felt as though the Iron Man Blade in Cheng Tian's hand had become Eevee, with all sorts of possibilities.
Furthermore, much like the White Base that had made its fiery debut, these transformation crystals were no longer connected to the Radam they had originally belonged to. Instead, they had been tightly bound to the Scorching Sun Legion—or rather, to Cheng Tian himself.
In the original work, these Tekkamen had been brainwashed and cognitively altered by the Radam. Here, it was equivalent to replacing the Radam with the Scorching Sun Legion.
How far that went depended entirely on Cheng Tian's initial intentions.
However, one "Iron Man Omega" was still missing.
It was not that Cheng Tian was reluctant to invest the resources; he simply did not have enough resources at present.
Iron Man Omega was positioned somewhere close to things like the Macross or Great Guren. It could serve both as a main ship's carrier unit and as a primary combat weapon. Therefore, aside from requiring an enormous amount of Red Souls, Omega also needed a warship of considerable specifications as its modification and development base. That would save a certain amount of Chosen Coins.
This was no small investment. At least for Cheng Tian, who had only recently built the Ptolemaios 2, it
