"Father, this is the new Armor that my own team has developed independently. I have named it—the Holy Angel Armor."

Denise said this with undisguised pride as she glanced at the Magic Energy Image of the Armor.

"Your team developed this independently?"

"Yes."

"Oh..." Tom was not too surprised by this news, knowing that as the future Sect Leader of Sigma Corporation, Denise had a strong interest in Armor development—a necessary one at that. Therefore, she always had her own development team, which Tom not only knew about but also greatly supported.

So after nodding his head, Tom asked, "Is this the Sixth-Generation Armor?"

Even though he knew it was unlikely, he still asked the question since everything Denise had said suggested she planned to use the Holy Angel Armor to restore customer confidence in the company. And in a situation where competitors had already developed the Sixth-Generation Prototype Armor, only another sixth-generation model could achieve this.

Unfortunately, the Holy Angel Armor was not of the sixth generation, as Denise shook her head right after.

Such a result was expected, yet Tom couldn't help but sigh. It was at this moment, however, that Denise spoke up.

"Father, while the Holy Angel is not a Sixth-Generation Armor, it is neither Fifth-Generation."

"Oh?"

"Father, this Armor employs a Magic Stone external system. Do you see the eight wings floating behind the Armor? Those are actually eight polished Magic Stones encased in Armor."

"A Magic Stone external system... Wasn't that plan a failure?"

A moment after Denise mentioned this, Tom looked at the Magic Energy Image of the Armor and then asked.

Tom had heard of the Magic Stone external system before, as it was a project of Sigma Corporation. The goal was to increase the amount of Magic Stones in an Armor using an external attachment, thereby bypassing the limitations on the use of Magic Stones. This would allow the Armor to harness more Mana through the attached Magic Stones, creating a breakthrough in total Mana capacity. Unfortunately, the project had later failed.

"It was a failure at first, but later I had the team improve on the original design. Although the effect was several times lower than initially intended, the system was indeed successful and significantly enhanced the Armor's Mana," Denise quickly explained in response to Tom's doubt.

"With the addition of the Magic Stone external system, the Mana peak value of the Holy Angel Armor has greatly increased. Just this system alone has enabled the Armor to reach a Mana peak value of 15,000 points. It's comparable to Special Armor that uses the Mana Matrix System and is powered by Super Crystals, and the external system doesn't reject the other two technologies. That means..."

At this point, Denise looked at her father, "That means, once the Holy Angel is fitted with the Mana Matrix System, and the Magic Stones inside are replaced by Super Crystals, then the Mana peak value of the Armor will easily exceed 20,000 points, completely breaking the standard limits of a Fifth-Generation Armor. If coupled with the most advanced technology, then this Armor will become the most sophisticated Fifth and a Half Generation Armor!"

After saying this, Denise paused as if giving Tom time to think, and after a short while, she continued:

"Uranus Corporation may have developed the Sixth-Generation Prototype Armor, but it's nothing more than an illusion. A true implementation would take several more years to complete, and we might not be able to compete with a Sixth-Generation Prototype Armor, but the Holy Angel Armor is already complete."

"Father, with the Holy Angel Armor, we can utterly defeat the illusions of Uranus Corporation. Not only can we provide our clients with immediately deployable Armor, but we can also restore their faith in the company. With this, we'll have more time to develop the Sixth-Generation Armor!"

"......"

When Denise finished her speech, she looked at her father, and Tom did not immediately respond. His eyes were still fixed on the Magic Energy Image of the Holy Angel Armor.

It wasn't until a good while later that Tom's gaze shifted to Denise and a smile finally appeared on his face.

With a smile, he patted Denise's hand and then let out a long, emotional sigh, "At a critical moment, I still need to rely on my little princess..."

"You tell me when you want the press conference, and I'll arrange it."

Looking at Denise, Tom immediately asked, clearly agreeing to her plan.

However, Denise shook her head in response, "Father, press conferences are too cliché."

Shaking her head, Denise smiled, clearly having her own ideas.

Sure enough, she then said, "Father, I plan to participate in the Arena with the Holy Angel Armor."

"Why?"

"Because if I can rely on the Holy Angel Armor to win a quarterly championship, I believe customers will have absolute confidence in this armor!"

One must admit, Denise was indeed clever, not just clever, but her thinking was more acute, even more fashionable than that of the older generation like Tom.

The purpose of releasing the Holy Angel Armor was to counter Uranus Corporation's Sixth-Generation Prototype Armor. Even though the Holy Angel's capabilities surpassed the existing Fifth Generation Armor, reaching the standard of the Fifth and a Half Generation, it still wasn't as attractive as the Sixth-Generation Armor, which was its inherent disadvantage.

However, this armor also had advantages that the Sixth-Generation could not compare with, such as the fact that this armor had already been developed! Discover exclusive tales on empire

Even if the Sixth-Generation Armor was stronger, more powerful, and more formidable, after all, it remained at the theoretical stage. Yet the Holy Angel Armor was different; it could be put into production right now and could be directly issued to the troops.

Therefore, as long as the formidable combat power of the Holy Angel Armor could be demonstrated at a suitable event, it would undoubtedly receive a great welcome. After all, before the true development success of the Sixth-Generation Armor, this Fifth and a Half Generation armor would be the strongest!

That was why Denise planned to participate in the arena; she intended to treat the arena as the launch event for the Holy Angel Armor, using concrete combat achievements to safeguard the release of the Holy Angel Armor!

......

......

"Denise... she plans to participate in the arena?"

When Denise decided to use the arena as her launch event, almost the next day, this news was passed to Uranus Corporation, reaching the ears of the fourth-generation Sect Leader.

Unlike Tom, the current Sect Leader of Uranus Corporation was a young man about Denise's age, named Kashu Uranus. If one were to consider seniority, Kashu and Denise would be of the same generation, so their ages were similar.

In the boardroom, Kashu slightly frowned when he learned of Denise's plans to participate in the arena.

"Your Excellency, is this some sort of strategy from Sigma Corporation?"

"Of course, it certainly is."

Looking at the puzzled company executives, Kashu smiled and nodded his head, then closed his eyes.

As he closed his eyes, the entire boardroom fell into utter silence because everyone knew this signaled Kashu thinking. If anyone dared to speak or even cough at this moment, it was certain they would never enter this boardroom again. So, during this time of contemplation, no one even dared breathe loudly. A few executives with naturally heavy breathing simply held their breath.

Fortunately, Kashu didn't take long to think; within minutes, he reopened his eyes and said with a smile:

"Gentlemen, it seems Sigma Corporation is preparing to fight a turning battle."

"Denise participating personally in the arena clearly aims to use the opportunity to launch a new style of armor to block us."

"A new style of armor? Your Excellency, have they made a breakthrough in the development of the Sixth-Generation Armor?"

Upon hearing this, someone immediately asked with disbelief.

However, Kashu shook his head in response: "No, that's not possible. If I'm not mistaken, Denise must be preparing to launch a new type of Fifth Generation Armor. No, it should be an armor that surpasses the Fifth Generation—it's the Fifth and a Half Generation Armor."

One has to say, Kashu was simply too clever! With just the fact of Denise's participation in the arena, he almost completely guessed the entire situation!

"This…"

But after he finished speaking, the others in the boardroom all frowned, for everyone present was clever, at least shrewd enough to understand what kind of impact it would have on them if Denise released a Fifth and a Half Generation Armor.

Comparison to these people, Kashu was not worried at all, his smile undiminished as he looked towards the research and development director not far away.

"Sahir, I remember before the Sixth-Generation Prototype Armor was manufactured, you created several experimental armors, right?"

"Oh, yes, we made five of them."

"Good, take one of those, send someone to join the arena, and as long as we can defeat Denise in the arena, the issue will be resolved."
