Lord of the Sky City

The first match that Denise participated in with the Holy Angel Armor had just begun when it suddenly ended, as she eliminated her opponent instantly!

Although the match ended unusually quickly, taking only two minutes from start to finish, it caused a huge sensation, simply because the performance of the Holy Angel Armor was too impressive.

Wearing the Holy Angel Armor, Denise needed only one strike to instantly defeat the Mobile Fortress Type 2, whose defensive power was reputed to be the best among the fourth generation armors. This achievement could certainly be described as jaw-dropping.

Don't assume that the Mobile Fortress Type 2, as a fourth-generation armor, is weak. In fact, this is far from the case. The fourth-generation armors, especially the Special Armors, have not been phased out even today. Although they cannot compare with the fifth-generation of the same type, even the fifth-generation Special Armors would find it difficult to defeat them instantly. If there is any, it's because of the gap between the Void Magic Warriors, not the armors themselves.

It was because of this that, with just a two-minute match, Denise let the world see the terrifying power of the Holy Angel Armor—a single, ordinary strike was all it took to eliminate a top defensive fourth-generation Special Armor, the Mobile Fortress Type 2, proving just how formidable the new generation of armor was.

Thus, after the match ended, everyone's attention was focused on the brand-new Holy Angel Armor.

This outcome was precisely what Denise and Sigma Corporation wanted to see. However, they weren't in a rush to do anything because, in their view, the showcasing of the Holy Angel Armor was far from over. It was just the beginning. Denise planned through match after match to fully build up the momentum of the Holy Angel Armor, which was necessary to compete with Uranus Company.

To achieve this, Denise and Sigma Corporation had put in great effort. Not only did they invite numerous dignitaries before the match started, but they also hosted a grand ball on the evening of the first match, inviting all the eminent figures in Eternal City to further promote the Holy Angel Armor and to win people's hearts.

Eternal City always had balls; one could say they were ceaseless throughout the seasons. Yet, even so, the ball hosted by Sigma Corporation could be described as exceptional.

The caliber of the guests at this ball was indeed terrifying.

After Denise's match ended, Sigma Corporation sent invitations to every guest who watched the match in the VIP boxes. We've already mentioned who attended the match—these were all notable figures in the entire sky. Apart from them, some other prominent figures who didn't watch the match also received invitations.

"It seems... this time I'm benefiting from my teachers' prestige..."

When Sigma Corporation's representative delivered the invitation to Rocky, he was naturally surprised. After all, a ball of such scale and level would not normally extend an invitation to him, as he was just the lord of a small Sky City.

But as soon as he opened the invitation, he immediately understood what was going on. It was clear that the invitation wasn't just for him; it invited Orton, Aniye, Hammerfire, Pelaya, and himself to attend the ball together. Note, the names of the other four were listed before his.

With this, it was clear that inviting Rocky was just an afterthought by Sigma Corporation; their real aim was to invite Orton and the others.

Indeed, this was the case. Although Sigma Corporation invited many dignitaries to the ball, its ultimate purpose was business. As such, the affair inevitably seemed a bit mercenary. Therefore, balls of this kind always included some invitees unrelated to business but who possessed significant status and position, thereby enhancing the event's appearance and making it seem more tasteful.

So after receiving the invitation, Rocky headed to the research institute. Since Sigma Corporation truly intended to invite Orton and his team, and he was merely included by association, Rocky could not decide on his own whether to attend or not; he had to ask for Orton and the others' opinions.

When Rocky arrived at the research institute and met Orton and the others, the masters were deeply engrossed in a fierce discussion, which naturally centered on the Holy Angel Armor.

It cannot be denied, the Holy Angel Armor's debut was indeed stunning enough to astonish these masters, so after returning to Thunderhawk City, they began their research. On one hand, they studied the Holy Angel Armor; on the other, they were also looking into whether studying the Holy Angel could lead to enhancements to the White Demon Armor—could the stone from other hills be used to polish jade?

By the time Rocky handed the invitation to Orton, Orton accepted without a second thought.

"Go! Of course, we must go! I really want to ask those guys at Sigma Corporation what technology the Holy Angel Armor uses."

Given Orton's personality, he was usually quite averse to such balls, typically not even giving them a moment's consideration, but this time was different. The impression the Holy Angel Armor left on him was profound, prompting Orton to also want to inquire what technology the other party had employed. The others were thinking similarly.

Thus, the group made a decision to attend the ball hosted by Sigma Corporation together.

Before long, it turned to evening, and Rocky and his group arrived at the Eternal City. Sigma Corporation had arranged everything thoroughly, having dispatched people to wait at the Skyport already. Thus, as soon as Rocky and his company disembarked from the Skyship, they directly got into a carriage and headed straight for the ball venue.

The carriage ride was silent, and about half an hour later, they reached the venue.

When Rocky and his group arrived, the ball had just started, so there were many people entering, and they followed the crowd inside which was not unusual.

However, what Rocky failed to notice was that as he and the others were lining up ready to enter the venue, other carriages continued to arrive, and one of these carriages stopped, and after the passengers disembarked, someone immediately recognized him!

"Is this guy here too?"

After glancing at Rocky, who was lining up to enter, Xia Nai frowned and then waved over the servant following her.

"Find out who this guy is, why he is here, and what his story is."

"All right."

With that, the servant immediately left, soon disappearing from sight.

After the servant had left, Xia Nai looked coldly at Rocky from behind, especially glancing at Liliya who was beside him, then sneered and joined the queue to enter amidst a crowd of people.
