Chapter 884: The Invention of the Cursed Children (Part II)

Watching Lingyun's surprised expression, the Cursed Child revealed a happy look on her face.

"This isn't just a Realizer! This is a Cursed Child Exclusive Armor we developed by integrating technologies from several worlds!"

"Cursed Child Exclusive Armor?"

"That's right, Brother, look!"

The eyes of the Cursed Child covered in armor suddenly turned a deep scarlet, and a powerful force began to dissipate from her body. The armor on her seemed to sense the Cursed Child's power, unexpectedly beginning to deform rapidly, ultimately turning into a suit of white armor.

Several armor plates detached from the suit, deforming at high speed in mid-air into Floating Cannons. At the same time, a shallow ripple appeared around the armor, enveloping the entire suit within it.

"I am not skilled at close-quarters combat myself; I am better suited for operating floating units to fight from a distance, so my armor looks like this. But if it were Tina..." the Cursed Child explained to Lingyun while pressing her arm armor.

All the Floating Cannons around her were retracted, and the armor on her body began to change rapidly, eventually transforming into a suit of black armor. In the armor's hands, it gripped a sniper rifle, and in front of its eyes was a Tactical Goggles specifically for sniping operations.

"Or for partners who like assault operations..."

The armor began to deform again; this time the armor was blue, and it held two beam guns in its hands.

"And there's the kind like Sister Xiaona."

This time, the final form of the armor was red, holding a beam sword in its hand, with a solid blade on its back.

In front of Lin Yan, the Cursed Child switched through several forms before stopping this operation.

"A single piece of arm armor houses all these states?" Lingyun muttered.

"Yes, this is just the first generation of armor; all of us can be equipped with it. Our next direction is to develop exclusive armor!" Following a flash of light, the armor on the Cursed Child turned back into the arm armor state once again.

"By the way, what was that barrier on the armor earlier?" Lingyun asked again.

"That is an energy shield similar to the one we researched after seeing data on the IS, a flight super-weapon unique to a world called Infinite Stratos. In a sense, it is an Absolute Defense that cannot harm the armor or the individual as long as the energy is not exhausted." The Cursed Child pushed up her glasses, a hint of pride in her tone.

"It really is a very impressive ability!" Lingyun's tone held a hint of admiration.

"No, no, no, actually there are still quite large flaws in this." The Cursed Child shook her head. "On one hand, this defense cannot defend against mental-type attacks; on the other hand, the energy consumption of this defense is very high, and it is not suitable for long-term combat."

"Regardless, this is already a remarkable invention. After all, the time you have had to both come into contact with these things and start researching them is truly too short." Lingyun smiled and comforted her.

"Yes, after all, it is just a product of a transitional period; our current research focus for defensive methods is not in this area!" The Cursed Child nodded solemnly, looking just like a little adult.

"Not in this area? Then what kind of defense are you researching now?" Lingyun asked casually.

"It's the Absolute Defense Circle and the AT Field!" A Cursed Child came bouncing over to Lingyun.

"Absolute Defense Circle? AT Field?" Hearing these two things, the corners of Lingyun's mouth couldn't help but twitch.

What are these two things? The Absolute Defense Circle is one of the signature skills of Ikaros, the Queen of the Sky from Heaven's Lost Property, a barrier claimed to be able to defend against all known attacks except for Astraea's laser blade. The other comes from the EVA world, known as the Wall of the Heart, the Absolute Domain, capable of blocking almost all conventional weapon attacks; under normal circumstances, only an AT Field can counter an AT Field.

"Is there no problem with research in this area?" Lingyun asked, somewhat stunned.

"The AT Field aspect isn't much of a problem; after all, we have Sister Alice's Xiao Lei here to help. As for the Absolute Defense Circle, we currently only have a portion of the data, so it is still somewhat difficult to research. If we could find Sister Ikaros, it would be much easier!" A Cursed Child said with a grin.

"You still want to go find Ikaros?" Lingyun said with a helpless expression.

"If possible, we definitely want to go!" One of the Cursed Children raised her hand.

"Sister Ikaros is very cute!"

"Sister Nymph's computing ability is very strong and can be of great help to our research!"

"..."

Watching the excitement of each Cursed Child, Lingyun's tone also carried a hint of helplessness: "Alright, if there is a chance, you can have Liuli take you there!"

"Sister Liuli?" Hearing Lingyun's words, the Cursed Children present nodded.

Although Liuli sometimes looks like she keeps strangers at a distance, after spending a long time together, one realizes she is actually a very easy person to get along with. If they were to make a request, there is a high probability that Liuli would not refuse.

"Alright, these things can be discussed later. Now, bring out our best equipment, prepare for battle!" Xiaona said with a serious face.

"Yes!" The big sister's order was given, and all the Cursed Children began to take action.

"Brother, how many people are we deploying this time?" Xiaona asked Lingyun.

"The current situation is not very clear. You, Tina, and Xia Shi should each lead a squad and set out with me. When the time comes and there is a need, we will mobilize more personnel!" Lingyun said.

"Yes!" Xiaona gave Lingyun a proper military salute, then trotted away.

Not long after, thirty Cursed Children had gathered. They were equipped with the best gear that the Cursed Children could currently develop. The group led by Xiaona was the Assault Team, mainly responsible for frontal combat. The team led by Tina was the Assassination Team, mainly responsible for stealth and sniping missions. The one led by Xia Shi was the Guerrilla Team, mainly responsible for guerrilla warfare, while also shouldering the responsibility of supporting the other two teams.

Looking at these Cursed Children in front of him, Lingyun also felt a sigh in his heart. He had not expected that these Cursed Children he brought out from the Black Bullet world would grow to such a degree within the Cloud Realm.

"Are you ready? If you are ready, we will set out!" Lingyun said to those around him.

"Ready!" the thirty Cursed Children said in unison, their tones carrying a hint of indescribable excitement.

After all, this time they were fighting alongside the Brother they respected most in their hearts; this qualification was not something others could compare to. In order to secure these thirty spots, they had competed in secret quite a few times.

Of course, besides the Cursed Children acting with Lingyun, the Cursed Children who liked medicine in the Cloud Realm also took action.

From Lingyun's own mouth, they already knew that the opponent they were to face this time was a group of skeletons without any mercy. In this situation, no one could guarantee they wouldn't get hurt. Under these circumstances, the Cursed Children responsible for medical care naturally had to ensure that their companions could receive the best treatment in the shortest amount of time after being injured.
