[Quest Item: Horrock's Armguards]
[Damaged Horrock's Armguards: A pinnacle creation of stellar power and Hextech, with an internal dimensional cage]

[Mission Rewards: 2000 Hextech Crystals, Protocol Level Upgrade, Shop Function Unlocked]
This world is so crazy!
Deyan spoke with emotion as he emerged from the tent.
Understood.
If it's a fragment of a star god, then everything makes sense.
Pete's headache is caused by the Star God fragments.
There's a certain saying about someone being a simpleton.
Allergic to Star God Fragments.
Elijah, from a distinguished family, arrived in Gondor, the galactic countryside, with a massive fleet, after the fragments of the Star God.
The Emperor is above, that old Deng has gone mad!
They actually dared to attempt to steal the authority of the Star God.
The Star God is the embodiment of the physical laws of the universe.
Elijah wouldn't be trying to pay homage to the Silent King by capturing Star God fragments and using them as power banks on the Vision flagship, would he?
Deyang thought about it more and more and felt that this was possible.
That old man has wolfish ambitions; what will he do once he has a world-class energy core?
Conquer Terra and seize the Golden Throne!!!
Elijah should not be allowed to take advantage of such an opportunity.
Using the excuse of needing to urinate, Deyang found a secluded corner and retrieved the prop.
Hollock's arm guards appeared on his left arm.
Unlike Heartsteel, which is represented by attributes, Horlock's gauntlets are physical objects.
It is cast entirely in brass and has a simple and ancient design.
The arm protector fits the arm and fingers seamlessly.
The empty spaces in the inlay are a minor flaw.
As a former League of Legends player, Dejan is very familiar with this item.
The signature weapon of Ezreal, the first blond orphan in Runeterra.
It was with this weapon that Ezreal, a mere mortal, rose to the top of Piltover's fighting force.
Dimensional Cage...
With the Hextech Protocol seemingly added, this item is even more overpowered.
It can imprison fragments of the Star God.
With the Star God fragments replenishing the energy core, who knows what kind of magical chemical reaction will occur.
Putting everything else aside, let's just talk about Arcane Shift.
That's teleportation!
Amazing skill!!!
It can run fast and fight, and it appears and disappears like a ghost.
The Terminator still needs a teleportation beacon for teleportation, but Arcane Leap allows it to go wherever it wants.
With Star God fragments providing unlimited energy, one could probably roam the entire galaxy.
A street urchin on Yinhe Street.
Take a walk in the woods.
The Lion King exclaimed that he was an expert.
Looking at the slot where the energy core should have been embedded, Dejan became extremely interested in the fragment of Azagorod the Nightbringer.
We must get our hands on it.
But how did we get our hands on it?
After the war in Heaven, the Star God was backstabbed by the Space Death and shattered into hundreds of fragments by a god-killing energy cannon, but even one percent of a god is still a god.
Not to mention that Azagorod the Nightbringer was once the most powerful Star God.
They are in charge of death, darkness, and destruction.
It is easy to imagine how dangerous His fragments were.
More importantly, the vast majority of Star God fragments are sealed in the Necropolis.
Containing the fragments of the Star God will inevitably awaken the slumbering undead.
It's yet another major battle between unequal forces.
"Riki-Oh, do you have a prostate problem?"
Parker sent someone over to urge them on.
Dejan pulled down his sleeve to cover Hollock's arm guards and silently returned to the group.
Pike tried to boost morale, using pre-battle psychological tactics.
"Brothers, cheer up! After we finish this job, we'll upgrade our weapons and live the life of the wealthy."
The crowd laughed and joked incessantly.
Deyang watched coldly, thinking to himself that it would be good to be forced to walk through a minefield at gunpoint; he'd be lucky to even get back alive.
The expedition team was forced into the mine by the guards of the Koren family.
As visibility darkened, everyone turned on their searchlights.
With the help of a large number of engineering mechs, the excavation work is progressing steadily.
The underground was pitch black, as if time had been lost.
Deyang was also confused.
Until an ominous tremor came from the ground beneath my feet.
He stopped abruptly, and Pete, looking down in confusion at his dusty boots, shouted, "Boss, my legs are numb!"
It was caused by an earthquake!
Deyan's body tensed, gripping the explosive gun tightly.
"You idiot, stick close to me!"
Deep within the mine, the rock walls violently drilled open by the engineering mechs suddenly glowed with eerie green light, like living circuits rapidly spreading along the geometric patterns that appeared out of thin air on the walls.
'Buzz—'
A deep, humming sound, exceeding the limits of human hearing, rang out.
The air became thick and cold.
The engineering mech's headlights began flashing wildly.
Immediately afterwards…
Click... Click...
For the first time in millions of years, countless precision mechanical components snapped together and reset, the clattering of the mechanical skeletons converging into a prelude to despair.
The anger that had been dormant for 6000 million years has been rekindled.
Parker and his gang had never seen anything like this before. They were all terrified, their faces ashen, and they let out screams like sick chickens.
"Earthquake!!!"
"Damn it!"
"Those walls... are opening!"
"Mom, I want to go home!"
……
The rock wall is dissolving.
To carry out subatomic-level recombination.
The rock layers receded like flowing water, revealing an exceptionally smooth, silvery-gray wall.
Countless honeycomb-shaped hexagonal grids are neatly arranged, each grid sliding inward to reveal a bottomless darkness.
The next second, light shone from the darkness.
Two o'clock, four o'clock, ten o'clock, one hundred o'clock, one thousand o'clock...
The cold, eerie green lights all turned to look at them.
It is devoid of any emotion, retaining only the most primal hatred for organic life.
"roar--!!!"
A roaring explosion, accompanied by a metallic, trembling sound.
A towering, imposing figure emerged from the darkness, its nearly three-meter-tall body constructed of smooth, seamless, silver-gray living metal, with precise spherical joints.
It has no head; above its torso is a slowly rotating core. A streamlined Gaussian decomposer is integrated with its right arm, with green energy swirling around the muzzle. Its left arm is a three-fingered claw that gleams with a cold light.
Behind the Necromancer, countless necromancers wielding Gaussian tearing spears surged forth with precise steps.
They silently form an ever-advancing metal wall.
The moment the multi-legged scarabs transformed into a metallic tide, Dejan was horrified and turned to run, not forgetting to throw a big punch at Pete in his haste.
"Run! Throw away that damn shield!"
Pete's eyes cleared instantly. He dropped his shield and ran after Dejan.
"Ouch..." Just as Pike was about to curse, he was instantly cut in half by the Ghost Swordsman.
Other gang members also died from being riddled with Gauss tear gun bullets.
It's not painful at all.
It is directly broken down into atomic form.
True damage, annihilating everything.
Let everything be reduced to atomization.
The foundation of a long-established galactic overlord.
The technological gap makes all of this seem like magic.
"Fire!" the guard officer shouted hoarsely.
"Bang bang bang...!"
"Da da..."
Bombs, lasers, and live ammunition rained down on the vanguard of the undead.
The damage it can cause is limited.
In contrast, the necromancer's green Gaussian beam silently swept across the crowd. The soldiers hit, along with their armor, were wiped away as if by an invisible eraser, disintegrating into a cloud of atomic dust that drifted away in the wind.
The battle was swift and decisive.
It will end in three minutes.
The necromancer pursued Dejan in the direction he had fled.
Noticing the sudden cessation of gunfire behind him, a sense of crisis gripped him like a thorn in his side. Dejan gritted his teeth, trying to squeeze out every last bit of strength from his body.
He caught a glimpse of the Netherworld Swordsman teleporting over, and his heart leaped into his throat. He dodged the Phase Sword attack and immediately drew his gun to retaliate.
Bang bang bang!
His marksmanship is still as bad as ever.
None of the three shots hit the energy reactor.
【clang!】
[Heart Steel Layers +1]
Fortunately, it hit the torso, touching a layer of steel, and caused a brief stun.
Pete immediately grabbed a crane gun and opened fire.
Heavy firepower shattered the energy reactor, eliminating the Netherworld Swordsman.
Dejan remained vigilant, knowing that the other party was not truly dead and that the resurrection protocol would repair and reshape their physical body and consciousness.
"Well done, let's get out of here!"
Pete chuckled sheepishly, grabbed the crane gun, and ran off with abandon.
There are only two things in the world that can make him this happy.
"Military rations," the boss praised.
