Me and My Cold CEO Wife

Chapter 2063 - 2052: Formidable Battle Armor

But then, Vivian thought of a question.If this holy artifact can recognize its master, why did it choose Ning Fan?

After all, this battle armor has always been displayed in the Pope's master bedroom.

"Could it be that the core component is the holy sword!"

Vivian's gaze turned to the holy sword flickering with holy flame.

At that moment, Vivian's pupils contracted, instinctively assuming a defensive posture.

She didn't know when Ning Fan had disappeared from her line of sight.

His speed was so fast that she couldn't even trace Ning Fan's movement.

"Haha..."

Listening to the laughter coming from above, Vivian raised her head in shock.

A dazzling white line came into view, at least ten meters long, seeming to split the void in two.

It's not just a mere perception...

Seeing the mirror-like cracks forming in the void, Vivian's heart shook.

Ning Fan's casual sword strike had the effect of cutting through space.

In the face of such an attack, Vivian could only manage a wry smile, knowing full well that her proud scales would be as fragile as paper.

With the swiftness of the sword light, she simply couldn't dodge.

The previously balanced situation had instantly reversed at this moment.

Vivian had to admit that she truly felt the shadow of death.

...

"This feeling is truly magnificent."

Ning Fan, standing proudly in the air, simply couldn't find the words to describe himself, resorting to the word "magnificent".

Originally, he thought it wouldn't fit, but when the battle armor adhered to his body, Ning Fan realized how perfect the fit was.

Not only was there no cumbersome heaviness of armor, but it felt so light it became part of his body, easily forgotten if not for attention.

Furthermore, the power of this battle armor wasn't simply "strong", but rather a smooth sensation of control and instantaneous response to his thoughts.

Previously, Ning Fan disdained using external objects, believing they would diminish a martial artist's fighting spirit.

But now, Ning Fan truly felt like he was floating. With this battle armor, ascending to the heavens, slaying gods and demons seemed just a whim away.

This armor didn't just bring extraordinary confidence, it also had a visible dominance.

Unparalleled speed.

Ning Fan hardly needed to exert much strength—just a light step could easily break through the sound barrier.

If he increased the sprint, he might even achieve instantaneous movement.

This armor seemed to ignore spatial barriers, moving at high speed with a lightness devoid of any smoke or fire, and lacking any phenomena like breaking through the sound barrier or sonic booms.

"Too powerful!"

Ning Fan, his heart thrilled at the sight, gripped the holy sword and swung it forward heavily, causing a sword light more than ten meters long to disappear in an instant.

This was the armor's second capability: casually unleashing sword qi without using the Light of Life.

If augmented by the Light of Life, even a trace of sword qi could cut through space.

Although it couldn't completely shatter space, the instantaneous force of extinction produced by the spatial rupture was enough to destroy anything claimed to be indestructible.

"It's certainly not just a physical attack."

As Ning Fan watched the holy flame flickering on the holy sword, he believed that the holy flame, activated along with the sword light, had the same lethal effect on spiritual bodies and non-material life.

Besides this, the battle armor had another major advantage: it required no energy consumption.

Except when activating the armor or triggering the holy flame attack.

Otherwise, functions like sword qi, flying, and remaining airborne needed no support from the Light of Life.

This means that even a mere believer, once gaining this battle armor, could leap to become a top expert.

Ning Fan believed this armor's functions extended far beyond what he'd experienced, especially concerning its defense attribute.

This battle armor included components such as helmet, gauntlets, boots, heart guard, etc.

It's conceivable that when forging this armor, the focus was heavily on defense, otherwise it wouldn't be so comprehensive.

Actually, Ning Fan really wanted to unlock Vivian's sealed Divine Power and engage in a battle with her in her dragon form.

But thinking of Vivian's earlier defensiveness, Ning Fan had to abandon this plan, as otherwise their relationship could develop an irreparable rift.

"Such a fine battle armor, yet the Pope treated it as a mere decoration. What a waste of a treasure!"

Ning Fan shook his head in disbelief, though his eyes showed a moment of gratitude.

If the Pope knew the extraordinary nature of this bedtime artifact, he would certainly take the armor to New York, and then proceed to Middle Earth.

Which wouldn't leave Ning Fan to enjoy the benefit now.

"The Pope can't be so blind, right? Didn't he test it out?"

Ning Fan found it hard to believe.

This battle armor, it's said, is a relic passed down through generations in the Church of Light.

There's no reason the Pope wouldn't use Holy Power to test it.

"Who knows what the past generations of Popes were thinking?"

Facing the Cross Sword in his hand, Ning Fan's thoughts shifted, the sword hilt began to shrink and vanish, and simultaneously, the armor he wore disappeared.

Through internal vision, in his mind's eye, he could visualize a miniature holy sword submerged in the center of his Sea of Consciousness.

"Only the holy sword, where's the armor?"

With tight nerves, Ning Fan suddenly relaxed. He'd already sensed the armor covering him.

"It seems like the Cross Sword is the true essence."

Ning Fan chuckled lightly, seeming to grasp why the Pope would allow such a treasure to gather dust.

If the armor could be compared to a machine, then the Cross Sword was the key to powering it up.

Back then, the Cross Sword was kept in the treasury, not alongside the armor.

"Only by first activating the Cross Sword can the armor be activated."

Upon realizing this, Ning Fan's expression shifted oddly, thinking of a particular incident.

"If Vivian knew that the addition she gave turned out to be the core of the armor, I wonder what she would think."

In fact, Vivian had long realized this point, but aside from regret now, what else could she do?

Upon encountering the armor initially, she thought it was just a heap of scrap metal, not caring at all.

Yet she hadn't anticipated the elegant transformation when the holy sword combined with the armor, turning it into a demi-god artifact.

Seeing Ning Fan descend from the air, Vivian's expression changed several times, lowering her head instinctively.

"Vivian, thank you. If not for you, I might have missed this treasure."

As soon as he spoke, fifty sets of "scrap metal" flew towards Ning Fan and disappeared.

Witnessing this, Vivian exclaimed, "The armor has its own space?"

"Not the armor. Strictly speaking, it should be the holy sword."

Upon discovering only the holy sword in his Sea of Consciousness, Ning Fan considered whether the holy sword possessed storage capabilities and whether the disappeared armor had entered its internal space.

Utilizing spiritual power to transport those fifty sets of armor and then communicating with the holy sword.

This experiment led to the scene just now.

"Vivian, my harvest this time far exceeds yours."

Heaven can attest that when Ning Fan said this, he was merely flaunting, without any other intention.
