Leaving

Noticing that the enemy troops had actually gathered together and were preparing to flee, Hongmeng’s calm voice rang out again. Old Li discovered that the armor was once more guiding his hands. His palms came together, aimed at the enemy’s main force, and began charging energy.

No one could interrupt or even disturb the energy gathering. In just a few seconds, the Kirin Armor’s magic energy cannon reached its peak output and fired an energy shell containing terrifying power straight at the enemy’s main force.

"Boom!"

A heaven-shaking explosion rang out. To Old Li’s astonishment, the hilltops on the ground seemed to have been flattened by several meters. Countless clods of earth and rocks were blasted into the sky, along with the enemy unit within the blast zone, which was blown to pieces without leaving even a trace behind.

"This is way more satisfying than my Italian cannon!"

Old Li’s mouth fell open, his eyes full of disbelief. At that moment, even the Italian cannon he had seized no longer seemed so appealing!

This magic energy cannon was far more satisfying than an Italian cannon!

When the Kirin Armor brought Old Li back before Chen Mu and the others, he still looked somewhat unable to believe it.

The Kirin Armor’s firepower made Old Li of this era deeply understand what true firepower suppression meant.

Old Li emerged from the armor looking rather dazed.

"Commander, how was it? Was that iron-armored man awesome or what?"

Seeing Old Li’s expression, the men from his regiment all rushed over and surrounded him with curious questions.

Watching the Kirin Armor soar into the sky, these soldiers had been green with envy and wanted to try it themselves.

In this era, let alone their regiment, even their division did not have a single decent aircraft, much less such an imposing-looking suit of armor.

To them, it was cool beyond measure!

"Brother Chen, what about the equipment for my battalion?"

The moment he saw Chen Mu, Old Li’s eyes lit up. Rubbing his hands together, he hurried over with a flattering smile.

Having witnessed the Kirin Armor’s power firsthand, Old Li was incredibly excited!

With a battalion of these armors, never mind sweeping across the world—wouldn’t reaching Japan’s capital be easy?

Old Li had not forgotten what Chen Mu had said before.

Chen Mu had promised to give him equipment for a battalion. If he had a battalion’s worth of these armors, he was confident he could drive every invader out of the Central Plains!

And not just that. With this equipment, couldn’t he, Old Li, lead his men all the way to Tokyo?

"Don’t worry, Old Li. I, Chen, keep my word. A man’s word is his bond. If I said I’d give you equipment for a battalion, then I absolutely will."

Chen Mu smiled and continued, "But it’ll probably take a day or two to gather everything. During that time, I hope you’ll help introduce me. I want to meet the division commander."

Chen Mu would not remain in this world for very long. If he wanted to help this nation, the best way was to find that person directly and have this "China" form an alliance with the "China" Chen Mu came from.

Only that would allow both sides to develop better.

Help was not simply help given without expecting anything in return. Mutual cooperation and shared benefits were the best path toward development.

"You want to see the division commander? That shouldn’t be a problem. After all, you can provide so many advanced weapons, and if you really are from the future, I definitely need to report this matter to my superiors. So your request shouldn’t be difficult to arrange."

Although Old Li was only a regimental commander, so many unbelievable things had happened that he would inevitably have to report them to his superiors.

"My relationship with the division commander is pretty good. I’ll go talk to him about it later."

Old Li patted his chest as he spoke, but his eyes remained fixed on the Kirin Armor without moving.

"I’ll leave this armor here. It can serve as proof that I exist, and it can also help you resist those enemies."

Chen Mu’s plan was to get in touch with the division commander of this world, then act as the intermediary who would allow the nations of these two worlds to negotiate directly.

As someone from the twenty-first century, he would naturally give his full support to the predecessors of this era. They had walked this very road and understood all too well the hardships those predecessors had endured.

No matter what, two nations bound by blood would never choose to stand idly by.

Since Chen Mu wanted to establish an organization connecting the multiverse, he had to take this step as well, allowing these member nations to communicate, exchange, and even trade without barriers.

"That’s great, then. I’ll take this Kirin Armor. With its help, we’ll definitely stuff all those Japanese bastards back into their mothers’ bellies."

Having gotten what he wanted, Old Li grinned from ear to ear.

Never mind a battalion’s worth of armor—even the combat power displayed by this single suit had already satisfied Old Li immensely.

"Since that’s settled, I’ll leave first. I’ll come back after a while. I need to prepare that battalion’s equipment for you."

Since Old Li had agreed to pass along the message, Chen Mu was naturally satisfied.

He planned to return to his own world first, then report his plan and assess its feasibility.

The emergence of the multiverse was undoubtedly an opportunity for both Chen Mu and his homeland.

After saying that, Chen Mu greeted Old Li, then shot into the sky and left the area.

Finding an open space, Chen Mu tried summoning the Multiversal Mirror Image. He had already analyzed the nature of this thing; like the Infinity Stones, it was—

a naturally formed strange substance containing a certain kind of magic, which could be summoned through a specific method.

Since he could see the Multiversal Mirror Image, he could naturally pass through it and leave this multiverse.

Thus, after Chen Mu summoned the Multiversal Mirror Image, he directly opened a portal, left that world, and appeared before Observer Uatu.

"?"

Even Uatu’s unchanging expression of countless years now looked rather strange. Looking at Chen Mu, who had left that multiversal world through his own power, Uatu was too shocked to speak.

I haven’t even given you the technology to cross the multiverse yet, and you’ve already figured it out yourself?

Although Chen Mu’s method of multiversal travel was somewhat unusual, that was not what astonished Uatu. What truly surprised him was that Chen Mu had accomplished this technology by himself in just a single day.

For any race, that was unimaginable.

"Uatu, I’ve already completed your task. By the way, shouldn’t you also make good on your promise to give me the technology to freely travel through the multiverse?"

Chen Mu looked at Uatu curiously and stated his purpose.

"…"

"No problem. I will give you Dimensional Gate technology. It can open a portal between two worlds. As long as it has a sufficient energy supply, the Dimensional Gate can remain open indefinitely."
