Present Invincible

Wu Pifu showed no reaction, because his senses had already confirmed that Xu Wanfang had activated Superbrain World. Just before the light sword struck him, he had used his floating devices to block it. Only the shuttle had been caught in the blast; the mech Xu Wanfang piloted was completely unharmed.

The floating devices were the tangible result of the Dragon Rider System. The system amplified the user's brainwaves and willpower, allowing them to manipulate objects with their thoughts.

These floating devices were not the telekinetic floating cannons or thought-controlled flying swords Wu Pifu had initially imagined. The floating devices best suited to the Dragon Rider System were nanometer-scale metallic hydrogen polymers. Each individual unit was only nanometers in size, but they could aggregate and transform through control nodes. First, they could alter their size and shape; second, they could alter their energy state. In a short period of time, the metallic hydrogen could undergo violent reactions and polymeric transformations.

Only floating nanodevices made from metallic hydrogen could, under the Dragon Rider System's control, reach near-light speed and generate incomparably immense explosive or penetrating force.

This was also why the Europa colony was so important. Although human technology could already produce metallic hydrogen on a small scale in laboratories, mass production remained impossible. Yet Europa's unique environment made it possible to obtain metallic hydrogen from Jupiter on an industrial scale. That was, in fact, why Xu Wanfang had sent Wu Pifu to Europa to build the Dragon Rider System in the first place.

The Dragon Rider System stored a sufficient quantity of metallic hydrogen. Once a Superbrain user activated the system, it could directly mass-produce enough floating nanodevices.

The instant the shuttle carrying Xu Wanfang exploded, a mech that looked hastily assembled burst from the fiery blast. Its speed suddenly
