Chapter 504: Light Demon

Half a day later, in Li Mochen's suite at the Hilton Hotel in Los Angeles, the television was broadcasting a program on the American Current Affairs TV Station.

"Dear viewers, at three o'clock this afternoon, law enforcement agencies in Chicago, including the FBI and local police, simultaneously launched a cleanup operation, sweeping all entertainment venues in every red-light district and arresting a large number of criminals. Please look at the screen; from here down, you can see hundreds of police cars and armored vehicles. All officers are fully armed—"

"This is undoubtedly a major operation. According to the information we have now, a total of 23,000 police officers and 3,000 field agents were deployed across Chicago, along with over 8,000 police cars and 200 police armored vehicles. The goal is to eradicate the gang forces led by 'Lame' Delaro and 'Gold Mask' Terry. The government has accurate intelligence that both of these gangs, rampant in Chicago, are connected to the Dragon Witch Cult. They are involved in drug trafficking and have a long list of crimes."

"Now let's switch our画面 to Los Angeles. Wow, the scene looks similar, doesn't it? Lots of police cars, fully armed officers, Mr. Fred?"

"Yes, host! The situation here is probably similar to Chicago's. The mobilized police force has reached 18,000. As you can see now, at three o'clock this afternoon, the Los Angeles Police Department and the FBI suddenly launched an operation, and so far, nearly 2,000 criminals have been arrested."

"This is clearly a nationally coordinated operation organized by the government. The aim is to strike at the Dragon Witch Cult—without the public's knowledge, this dangerous cult, responsible for thousands of terrorist cases and the slaughter of tens of millions over centuries, with a notorious record, has infiltrated every corner of our society."

"Undoubtedly, this will be a heavy blow by the current administration against gang forces and the Dragon Witch Cult. It is also our President's response to some recent criticisms in the media."

Just as Li Mochen was listlessly watching TV, Anthony's figure suddenly emerged from the twisted void beside him.

"Watching the news? Ha, thanks to you, the Dragon Witch Cult's losses this time might exceed those during the Civil War. EMM~ You've got that thing, right?"

His first glance fell on the briefcase placed on the coffee table in front of Li Mochen. Inside the case, there was nothing else but a piece of something resembling a honeycomb briquette, along with layers of sealing arrays outside.

"A Moshlar ship energy core, truly beautiful! You actually found this thing."

"It was sent over by Ms. Christie Blade, said to be a gift from Professor Einstein."

Li Mochen said with a strange expression: "You didn't have to come in person. I could have had the Void Night Lord deliver it to you."

"No need. I have a permanent magic gate over here, so I can come over in less than a minute. I was just busy handling official matters. And—"

Anthony Braden snapped his fingers as he spoke. Several mechanical arms also emerged from the void, placing a large alloy box in the living room.

"I actually came here this time to deliver the goods."

"Deliver the goods?"

Li Mochen watched as the alloy box opened automatically, revealing a set of magical battle armor about 2.3 meters tall. It was painted in gold and red, not his favorite style, but it looked quite imposing.

"Light Demon Eight? You've already finished it?"

"Finished long ago, just lacking the energy core, so I couldn't deliver. I'm more anxious about this than you, OK? I can't wait to see you become a Legend, a Demigod. If possible, who wants to stay at level sixteen forever? I don't expect anything else from you—just help me hold off Professor Einstein in his Apostle form. Of course, if your two Demigod subordinates are willing to help, that would be best."

Anthony let out a snicker, then carefully took the 'honeycomb briquette' out of the box: "I should have thought of this earlier. Instead of searching the whole world, it's better to just ask Professor Einstein directly. When the Moshlar civilization ruins appeared, he must have explored them immediately."

After a series of complex operations, the 'honeycomb briquette' was finally installed inside the Light Demon Eight. Then the magical energy patterns on the armor's surface were activated one by one, and golden light shone from its eyes.

Then Anthony, full of pride, patted the chest of the armor: "You can try it on now! As per your request, it's slightly different from my version. When the energy output reaches 80%, it can activate two divine authorities. One is the minor divine authority 'Ice,' and the other is the minor divine authority 'Molten.' You're more confident with these two, right? Besides that, there are four weapons with power equal to or even greater than the Magical Energy Annihilation Cannon. Much stronger than my Light Demon Five."

Li Mochen couldn't help but stare at this man, inwardly shocked.

He knew that Anthony relied on three types of divine authority, and neither 'Ice' nor 'Molten' was among them; they seemed to be related to craftsmanship, machinery, and magical energy arrays.

So this guy could master other divine powers whenever he wanted?

Li Mochen shook his head and stepped into the Light Demon Eight. The front chest armor immediately contracted and covered him, wrapping him tightly. Then Li Mochen felt as if his finger was pricked by a needle.

"DNA test complete, brainwave frequency test complete, entering core database, analyzing soul essence—Hello, my master, I is Andrei Two, the intelligent program of this Light Demon Eight battle armor. Glad to serve you—"

Li Mochen raised an eyebrow. Then the next moment, he traversed the void and stepped into the Dark World.

With a thought from Li Mochen, the place was covered in ice; with another thought, it turned into a world of flames.

He stayed there for a full three minutes before returning to his suite, invigorated.

At this time, Anthony was sitting on the sofa like the master of the place, sipping red wine.

"How is it? Feels great, right? For this, I used a full ten 'Elemental Molten Hearts' and another ten 'Elemental Crystal Ice Cores,' worth hundreds of billions of gold shields. From now on, you've reached the Demigod level, boy."

But when Anthony said this, he paused and his expression turned serious: "Learn to control it as soon as possible, A Mo. I watched today's war; it was spectacular, stunning. The Dragon Witch Cult had no room to resist before you. But that will also bring you new enemies. Those vampires and liches will not sit idly by as you control their life and death in the future."
