After Ye Yang spoke that incantation-like command,
the blood-red Demon Armor covering his body suddenly began to crack.
One crack, two cracks, three.
Golden light shone through the fissures.
The body held in the Demon's Claw also began to glow with golden light.
Dazzling golden rays shot through the gaps in the Demon's Claw.
On the throne,
Morgana furrowed her brow slightly.
What kind of ability was this?
It didn't seem to be Space-Time Power, nor the power of a beast body.
But that dazzling golden light was bursting out from inside him. Could it be an ability of the Lieyang Civilization?
Morgana swept one hand forward through the air.
The Demon's Claw holding Ye Yang released him.
She wanted a clearer view of the changes to his body.
At that moment,
Ye Yang, transformed into a little golden man, gleamed from head to toe.
The Demon Armor on his body turned into golden particles of light, quickly disappearing and gathering around his waist.
It was easy to see
that it was a brilliant golden Dragon Scale Belt.
Five crystals also protruded from it.
At that moment,
within Ye Yang's mind,
an ancient voice rang out from the void:
"Emperor Armor! Unite!"
The moment the voice finished speaking,
dazzling golden light erupted from the Five Elements Crystal on the belt, enveloping Ye Yang from head to toe.
Ye Yang felt an inexhaustible power welling up from deep within him.
Morgana's brow furrowed on the throne.
She stared at the golden light.
Ye Yang's transformation seemed to have gone beyond her understanding.
The next second,
the golden light abruptly drew back.
A suit of imposing white-and-gold Emperor Armor covered his entire body.
At each elbow was an armored tiger head.
Armored tiger claws, angled backward, adorned his shoulders.
By comparison,
the so-called Demon Armor gave off the impression of a nocturnal assassin or warrior.
But this Emperor Armor
was filled with matchless dominance, soaring battle spirit, and the majesty of a king!
"What material is this armor made of?
The technology of Earth's Super Seminary couldn't possibly make something like this, could it?"
Morgana asked, her voice tinged with surprise.
Though she still couldn't tell what extraordinary functions the armor had,
as one of the universe's great technological minds,
Morgana's keen instincts told her that this armor was exceptional.
"Aurora Shield."
Ye Yang ignored Morgana's question.
Instead, he pressed his right palm against the air in front of his chest.
A metal shield made of orange light energy appeared and took shape in the air by his right arm.
"Aurora Sword."
With another shout,
Ye Yang reached over and turned the knob on the side of the Emperor Belt around his waist.
Whoosh!
A golden streak of light shot out.
It formed a golden energy array in front of Ye Yang.
Ye Yang reached into the array and grabbed hold.
The golden streak of light gradually lengthened in his hand, taking the shape of a battle sword.
The Aurora Sword!
Without another word,
Ye Yang gripped the hilt with both hands and swung upward toward the palace ceiling.
Whoosh!
A golden energy slash shot from the tip of the sword,
blasting toward the ceiling.
Boom!!!
The impact made a tremendous noise.
But the sturdy Demon Palace remained completely undamaged.
Not even the slightest mark was left on the beams above.
"That tough?"
Ye Yang was a little surprised.
That had been a strike from the Aurora Sword in its ultimate form.
"My Demon Fortress is a Main God-class warship, built with the most advanced technology and the toughest materials among the many civilizations of the Known Universe. Don't waste your time."
Morgana said confidently, arms crossed over her chest.
"Why not just open the door and let me leave? It'd be a shame to break such a beautiful palace."
Ye Yang said.
His voice carried the regret of someone unwilling to destroy a rare treasure.
But to Morgana, it sounded ridiculous.
"Ha ha ha ha! The Queen will give you a chance. If you can really break it, I'll let you go."
"If you can't, you'll stay here and become one of my warriors."
Ye Yang shrugged.
"Fine. Since you don't want me to go back,"
"then let's try this move."
Ye Yang reached over and turned the knob on the right side of his belt.
Then,
the red crystal on his chest opened and changed shape.
The chest armor split into five pieces.
The five segments lined up vertically,
forming five golden rune shields in midair!
The Aurora Sword floated up on its own.
Ye Yang held both hands in a pose for channeling power.
"Five Saints Kill!"
As Ye Yang shouted,
a lifelike Golden Divine Dragon emerged from the air between his hands.
Its body swam and coiled around the sword, entering the Aurora Sword as if its soul had possessed it.
Clack! Clack! Clack! Clack!
The Aurora Sword, originally only a palm's width across,
automatically transformed, its metal blade growing wider.
A layer of faint golden, illusory sheen appeared over the blade.
The next second,
Ye Yang thrust both hands forward.
The Aurora Sword shot forward like a bolt of lightning, piercing through the five layers of golden rune shields.
The five golden shields were like five layers of buffs.
The instant the Aurora Sword passed through them, they infused it with terrifying energy.
Boom!!!
The strike hit its mark, blasting a hole through the ceiling of the palace hall.
In an instant,
all of Demon One began to shake violently.
Dust and chunks of stone flew and swirled everywhere beneath the shattered ceiling.
Ato, on duty in the command room, the many Demon warriors patrolling through the night, and even the large numbers of Demon warriors who had been resting—
at that moment, they were like a hive of bees whose nest had been disturbed.
They poured out in force.
They flew around the skies above all of Demon One, wings beating as they searched the area.
"What happened? Are we under attack?"
"An earthquake? No, that can't be right. Demon One is floating tens of thousands of meters in the air."
"The enemy must have infiltrated the ship and be trying to destroy it. Hurry, search the inside!"
"Look over by the palace hall! A golden creature appeared!"
"Damn!"
Inside the palace hall,
Morgana looked up through the enormous hole in the ceiling.
That strike had transformed into a gigantic Golden Divine Dragon, swimming through the night sky outside.
The sight stunned the many Demon warriors, leaving them rooted to the spot.
What kind of creature was that?
How could it be so powerful?
As Morgana stood there, stunned,
below the great hall,
Ye Yang, clad in the ultimate Emperor Armor, reached out with one hand. The Aurora Sword flew back into his grasp from the sky beyond the hole.
He sprang into the air and shouted:
"Emperor Steed!"
A golden figure shot out from the surging void.
Morgana took a closer look.
It was a single-seat flying craft, golden-red and similar to a Demon one-man airship.
The next moment,
Ye Yang climbed onto the Emperor Steed.
The Emperor Steed fired its thrusters, a string of high-energy blue flames and Mach rings streaming from its rear.
With a whoosh, it shot out through the hole and flew away from Demon One.
The countless Demon warriors in the sky outside were even more stunned by the sight.
"Golden armor?! Who is that?"
"H-How did he get out of the great hall?"
"Was he someone the Queen brought back?"
"His gear looks so cool! He must have caused that shaking just now."
"Hey, where'd that long golden thing go? Did it disappear?"
