Chapter 237
Yet, a strange point was that the shadows, shadow elves, and fierce beasts, once severed by the blade, did not fall to the ground. Instead, starting from the point of the cut, the flow of Finish Finish Time accelerated continuously. Eventually, under the erosion of Finish Finish Time, these enemies that had obstructed Lu Li's advance weathered away and vanished in an instant.
However, as these shadows, shadow elves, and fierce beasts disappeared, streams of energy transformed into flowing light and surged into Lu Li's body, causing his magic power to churn gradually.
It was not until a moment later that the churning magic power gradually calmed down.
"Although it's still quite a distance from advancing to the Emperor Realm, it can be considered a step closer." After paying slight attention to the changes within his body, Lu Li retracted the Ultimate Sword he had unleashed.
"All the enemies encountered on the ninety-ninth floor have reached the nine-star level, and none of them have any output restrictions. If this were an average Magic Card Master, they would never be able to clear this hurdle." The figure of Kamen Rider Zi-O flickered and changed back into his Decade form: "No wonder Teacher never reached the hundredth floor back then."
The Night Queen is very strong; there is no doubt about that. Especially since she is one of the extremely rare Immortal Realm big shots in the Ancient Kingdom and a regional lord in her own right.
But even for the Night Queen, it took Finish Finish Time to grow. And unlike Lu Li, she could not achieve a state similar to the Sovereign Realm while still in the King Realm, fully synchronizing to obtain the combat power of the corresponding Magic Card spirits, let alone possessing special equipment cards like the Driver.
Therefore, the difficulty for Lu Li to slaughter his way through the ninety-ninth floor of the Tower of Heaven was far lower than imagined—it just consumed a "few hundred million" more magic power than usual.
And with the Eternal Sun as a backup power source, this consumed magic power was restored in the blink of an eye.
So, strictly speaking, Lu Li had zero net consumption so far, and in terms of Finish Finish Time, he was even significantly faster than the others.
Although he had no way to summon Magic Card spirits, with the help of Kamen Rider Zi-O's abilities, Lu Li could similarly summon Legendary Riders, and the strength of these Legendary Riders was on par with Zi-O.
Therefore, in a sense, Lu Li had simply transformed from a Magic Card Master into a Summoner; there was no major difference in the battles between the two.
In a team battle scenario, although Lu Li had fought his way to the ninety-ninth floor, the Finish Finish Time spent was similar to the Finish Finish Time Ku Ku Zimo spent fighting his way to the ninetieth floor.
In other words, just as Ku Ku Zimo was eliminated by the fierce beasts on the ninetieth floor, Lu Li had just finished slaughtering his way through the ninety-ninth floor.
"The final floor—I wonder what kind of enemy I will encounter. And those memories from thirty million years ago, it is Finish Finish Time to lift the curtain behind them!"
Inserting the final authentication card into the newly appeared illusory gate, Lu Li did not delay further once the gate transformed into a portal, stepping into the hundredth floor of the Tower of Heaven.
"After so many years, someone has finally come to the hundredth floor again." Upon stepping onto the hundredth floor of the Tower of Heaven, Lu Li did not receive any attacks, nor did he see any shadows, shadow elves, or fierce beasts. Instead, he heard a strange voice, yet it was extremely pleasant to the ear.
Looking in the direction of the sound, a shadow gradually emerged and took shape in the center of the hundredth floor, eventually manifesting as a human figure before Lu Li.
Looking closely, the figure gave Lu Li the impression of a lithe, graceful posture slightly leaning toward the feminine.
Clearly, the voice that had just sounded in Lu Li's ear came from this female figure before him.
"Then, before me, how many people have come to the hundredth floor?" Feeling no malice from this figure for the Finish Finish Time being, Lu Li asked silently: "I heard that the memories of the super-ancient world from thirty million years ago are buried here. Now it seems that this memory refers to you, right?"
In his speech, Lu Li did not relax.
Even if Lu Li were thick-skinned, he understood that the figure before him was absolutely extraordinary. After all, this was the hundredth floor of the Tower of Heaven; the fact that the other party appeared here could not be viewed or understood with ordinary eyes.
"Although I would very much like to answer your question, let's go through the process first." The slender figure spread her hands, indicating that she could not give Lu Li any answers for now.
At the same Finish Finish Time, the slender figure also moved, and with a wave of her hand, a massive figure emerged before her.
"If you can defeat it and pass the trial of the hundredth floor, then you will be able to get the answer you want."
【Titan】
Race: Giant
Quality: Epic
Level: Ten Stars
Skills: Chaos Resistance, Lightning Summoning, Storm Caller, Domination
……
Unlike the shadow elves and fierce beasts, the Titan summoned by the slender figure reached the ten-star Epic level. Compared to the enemies encountered on the ninety-ninth floor, the difficulty of clearing this stage increased significantly.
(0 requests for flowers)
Even Lu Li did not know how to complain about this.
Damn it, asking a King Realm Magic Card Master to clear an enemy with super-tier sequence combat power—how is this supposed to be played!
At this moment, Lu Li was very certain that this hundredth floor of the Tower of Heaven was simply not meant for normal people to pass.
No wonder so few people had been able to clear the hundredth floor of the Tower of Heaven over the years. It was highly probable that even if the Night Queen had cleared the ninety-ninth floor back then, she would have fallen on this hundredth floor.
"Although I guessed that the enemy on this floor would be more outrageous than the previous ninety-nine, I didn't expect it to be this outrageous." After glancing at the Titan's information, Lu Li couldn't help but click his tongue.
In his speech, Lu Li had already switched his Origin Synchronization target to Lilithmon.
Origin Synchronization: Lilithmon!
Fallen Fallen Mode Fallen Mode Change Adjustment: Lilithmon!
As Lu Li's synchronized Magic Card spirit changed from Kisara to Lilithmon, the aura of the Decade form he had transformed into rose sharply, and his power changed accordingly. Even without switching to his final form, his level rose to the nine-star level, reaching the pinnacle of the high-tier Magic Card sequence.
If Lu Li were to transform into Faiz or Zi-O at this Finish Finish Time, even without switching to their final forms, his strength would be synchronized to the nine-star level.
After all, the characteristic of the Driver is that it changes according to the user's own strength, and the Magic Card Master's own strength changes according to the origin of the synchronized Magic Card spirit.
"Your power seems to have increased?" Lu Li's increase in strength did not escape the eyes of the shadow, which further indicated that the shadow's identity and strength were not ordinary: "However, even after the increase, your current strength will not be a match for the Titan."
Saying this, the shadow couldn't help but shake her head: "It seems that my meeting with you this Finish Finish Time will end very soon."
Even if Decade's strength increased to the nine-star Epic level, there was still a major gap between him and the Titan.
Especially since the Titan's quality was not low, also reaching the Epic level.
With a full major gap, the shadow did not believe that Decade would be a match for the Titan.
"That's not necessarily true." Saying this, Lu Li pulled a new card from his Ride Booker, a hint of excitement flashing in his eyes.
446. Heavenly Dao: Emperor Armor!
"It seems that is indeed the case. I don't feel any fear in you." Hearing Lu Li's words, the shadow tilted her head, her tone revealing a trace of doubt: "In other words, you think you can take care of the Titan?"
Saying this, the shadow's interest was piqued.
The Magic Card Master before her was very special. She could feel the Magic Card aura emanating from Decade, but he had not been excluded by the rules of the Titan Sanctuary, which meant that everything he did was within the rules.
Coupled with Lu Li's current confident appearance, the shadow became even more curious about what actions Lu Li would take next.
"In fact, you will know very soon." Like friends chatting, the ten-star Epic-level Titan did not bring any pressure to Lu Li at all. Lu Li glanced at the card in his hand again.
"Inside the Driver, one can insert cards generated by skill-generating cards, and these generated cards are not just Kamen Riders."
"Among these cards, besides Kamen Riders, I actually quite like Armor Heroes as well." Saying this, Lu Li inserted the card in his hand into the Driver: "It just so happens that I will use this card to end this trial."
"Although limited by the Magic Card Master's strength, it is not yet in its peak state, but with this person's strength, it is enough to end everything that follows."
Card Ride: Emperor Armor!
A very pure golden radiance mapped outward from Lu Li's position at this moment, illuminating the hundredth floor of the Tower of Heaven.
"This power!" Feeling the special charm emanating from the golden radiance, the shadow's body couldn't help but sway; clearly, she was surprised by the power within the golden glow.
It was not just the special charm, but the quality of the power within the golden glow was extremely high. Even for the shadow, in these long years, the number of times she had encountered power of this quality was very few.
"No wonder you are so confident." Looking at Lu Li's figure covered in golden light, the shadow murmured: "But I didn't expect that power of this level would appear on a King Realm Magic Card Master."
"It seems that this Finish Finish Time, perhaps I can relieve some of my loneliness."
After the golden radiance illuminating the hundredth floor of the Tower of Heaven lasted for quite a while, it gradually disappeared.
Or rather, it was all retracted back into Lu Li's body.
At this moment, the originally magenta Decade armor on Lu Li's body changed drastically once again.
Dragon body, eagle arms, tiger shoulders, mastiff back, rhino legs—like an existence acting on behalf of Heaven, the reappearing Lu Li transformed into the Emperor Armor. Like an ancient emperor, just standing there, he possessed a massive threat.
The upper body armor of the Emperor Armor and the two horns on the shoulders resembled dragon horns, representing the Flame Dragon; the hand decorations represented the Wind Eagle; the shoulder armor represented the Earth Tiger; the legs represented the Black Rhino; and the layered heavy armor on the back resembled the Snow Mastiff.
The main color of the armor parts was the gold representing the emperor's supremacy, accented with silver, and the bodysuit was black and purple.
Just like the transformation into Faiz and Zi-O, the original position of the Driver had now been directly replaced by the belt of the Emperor Armor from Lu Li's memory.
The belt and knee parts had a black and white Yin-Yang Taiji diagram. The eight yellow dots around the Taiji diagram on the belt had the symbols of the Flame Dragon, Wind Eagle, Black Rhino, Earth Tiger, and Snow Mastiff, symbolizing the Eight Trigrams and Five Elements.
【Emperor Armor】

Aurora Sword and Shield: Dedicated weapon of the Emperor Armor, which can be disassembled into the Aurora Sword and Aurora Shield. The Aurora Sword can cooperate with the five crystals on the belt to unleash different skills. The Aurora Shield cannot be used in the normal form; it can only be used in the ultimate form.
Emperor Horse: The dedicated Light-Shadow Horse of the Emperor Armor, which can freely switch between flight Fallen Fallen Mode and land Fallen Fallen Mode according to the Emperor Armor's commands. Through the effect of the Light-Shadow Card, it can transform into the Light Emperor War Dragon.
Fierce Battle Upgrade: Rotate the Emperor Belt to further unleash the power of the Emperor Armor, upgrade the Emperor Armor to the Ultimate Emperor Armor, and gain new dedicated skills.
……
With this transformation, the Emperor Armor directly rose to the level, surpassing the original nine-star power and reaching the ten-star level of the super-tier sequence.
Looking only at the level, the Emperor Armor was now consistent with the Titan, with no difference.
