Wakanda.
A secret underground Vibranium smeltery.
Looking at the freshly forged golden helmet, Bai Xiaofei's breathing quickened: "It's done! The Aries Gold Cloth, which I have longed for, is finally completed!"
The 108 pieces of the Gold Cloth were intricately assembled into a lifelike ram with its head held high:
Two enormous, curved horns, fierce and roaring, as if piercing the sky, a nimble body, strong limbs, magnificent and vast wings, and a radiant golden glow that elevated its class by several levels. Everything about it made the Aries Gold Cloth appear so high-end, grand, and luxurious!
The Aries Gold Cloth was finally completely finished!
Seeing the familiar shape and the dazzling golden color, Bai Xiaofei was extremely excited, almost eager to put it on immediately and experience it. However, despite his excitement, Bai Xiaofei knew that the current situation was not suitable for wearing the Gold Cloth, let alone testing its power.
Thus, Bai Xiaofei forcibly suppressed his inner anxiety and placed the ram-shaped Gold Cloth into a specially made Vibranium box. Then, Bai Xiaofei began to give orders to the smeltery workers, strictly demanding that the forging of the Gold Cloth be kept secret, and that they should lock it firmly in their minds. Otherwise, they would be charged with treason.
In recent days, Bai Xiaofei had almost visited the smeltery every day, and sometimes the old king would also come along. Therefore, these smeltery workers knew that Bai Xiaofei was a big shot, with a very close relationship to the old king and significant privileges. Thus, they all remembered Bai Xiaofei's orders and did not dare to disobey.
After threatening them, Bai Xiaofei also began to offer some benefits to the workers, such as money, status, and treatment. He only did the talking, while the old king was responsible for the actual implementation. Bai Xiaofei believed that to win him over, the old king would certainly fulfill the benefits he promised to the smeltery workers.
With both threats and incentives, Bai Xiaofei believed that as long as they were not fools or had no issues with their heads, the forging of the Gold Cloth should not be leaked under normal circumstances.
After completing all this, Bai Xiaofei left the smeltery with the Gold Cloth.
...
That night.
Bai Xiaofei left the Wakanda palace alone and traveled through the night to a secluded small valley.
After hastily setting up some traps and defenses around the area, Bai Xiaofei could not wait to begin putting on and testing the Aries Gold Cloth. He wanted to quickly familiarize himself with and master its performance.
Previously, at the palace, Bai Xiaofei had worn the Gold Cloth once at the old king's request, but due to many concerns, he did not fully utilize its capabilities, which left him quite frustrated. So, when it was deep into the night, Bai Xiaofei could no longer hold back and ran out.
Bai Xiaofei had already been wearing the Vibranium bodysuit for a long time.
Living in the dangerous world of Marvel, it was essential to be cautious. The fear of death made Bai Xiaofei wear the Vibranium bodysuit almost every day after it was completed. This thing was breathable, cool, and comfortable, even more so than some undergarments. Bai Xiaofei decided to wear it as an undergarment, which also provided protection, achieving two goals at once!
Bai Xiaofei even specially made seven different types of Vibranium bodysuits, claiming it was "to solve personal hygiene issues," and almost wore a different one every day, which left the old king quite shocked!
The box for the Gold Cloth was designed based on the original from "Saint Seiya," with a beautiful and high-end appearance that clearly stood out.
On the top of the box, there was a pattern of the sun's rays, with the sun in the center, shaped as a circular blank.
This was the main switch of the box, equipped with a magic rune system. Only those whose mental energy matched the preset could open it. In other words, only Bai Xiaofei could open it.
Click...
As Bai Xiaofei's hand covered the circular sun pattern, the mechanism of the Vibranium box was activated, and five panels carved with different patterns unfolded, revealing the ram-shaped Aries Gold Cloth inside.
Then, with a thought from Bai Xiaofei, the 108 magnetic rings on the Vibranium bodysuit activated...
Click!
A crisp sound echoed.
The ram-shaped Aries Gold Cloth, receiving the call, trembled slightly and began to disassemble.
The 108 pieces of the Gold Cloth, as if with eyes, quickly flew towards Bai Xiaofei's limbs and body, fitting into place one by one. In a few seconds, Bai Xiaofei was completely enveloped.
"Wow! Burn, my little cosmos!"
With the Aries Gold Cloth fully equipped, Bai Xiaofei, excited, roared and began to pose. In front of him was a large mirror, and with the bright moonlight, even without the light, he could clearly see himself in the Aries Gold Cloth, shining with golden light, looking incredibly silly and funny!
Even Bai Xiaofei himself felt very silly and funny at that moment!
But he didn't care at all!
The Gold Cloths of the Twelve Temples were a dream in Bai Xiaofei's heart, representing the most precious and beautiful memory of his childhood. No matter how many years passed, it could not stop his pursuit of his dream, even if it was very silly!
It must be said that the Aries Gold Cloth, especially the sacred cloth design improved by Bai Xiaofei, was incredibly handsome!
The exquisite and flawless design left nothing to be desired; the golden color was incredibly dazzling and eye-catching; the fierce horns were intimidating; the huge wings, extending like turbines, were magnificent, beautiful, and awe-inspiring; and the magic runes covering every part of the Gold Cloth added a touch of splendor and mystery, making it highly desirable!
If he wore the Aries Gold Cloth on the street, he would definitely be loved by everyone, flowers would bloom, and cars would blow their tires... It would be so cool and handsome!
In short, Bai Xiaofei was extremely satisfied with the Aries Gold Cloth!
Bai Xiaofei played around happily for a long time, even taking several videos of himself, thoroughly satisfying his desire.
After having his fun, Bai Xiaofei began to test the power of the Aries Gold Cloth.
Defensive capabilities, well... this didn't need to be tested. Made of Vibranium, it was guaranteed to be of the highest quality, with excellent effects!
The first test was the flight ability. Despite the lack of Tony's designed skeletal parts and high-tech equipment, the Aries Gold Cloth still had levitation and weight reduction runes. With the help of Bai Xiaofei's psychokinesis, using the balance and acceleration provided by the two golden wings on his back, Bai Xiaofei could fly at will, although... the flight speed was quite pitiful.
After testing, Bai Xiaofei found that the maximum flight speed of the Aries Gold Cloth was only 60 kilometers per hour, far inferior to Tony's Mark armor!
Of course, this was also related to Bai Xiaofei's strength and the magic rune system of the Aries Gold Cloth.
It was not a speed-type Gold Cloth after all.
Bai Xiaofei wasn't too concerned about this. Once the skeletal parts and high-tech equipment designed by Tony were installed, Bai Xiaofei believed that the flight speed of the Aries Gold Cloth would have a qualitative leap, reaching supersonic speeds, which would be no problem at all! It would definitely surpass Tony's Mark armor!
Next, Bai Xiaofei tested the signature skill of the Aries Gold Cloth—Star Dust Revolution.
As Bai Xiaofei's mental energy and psychokinesis activated, the matter in the surrounding space began to rapidly condense. In a few seconds, dozens of fist-sized, rapidly spinning white spherical light masses formed. Under Bai Xiaofei's control, they hit the opposite mountain wall like comets.
Boom...
A loud explosion echoed, and countless boulders and dust rolled and spread.
Bai Xiaofei stood at the foot of the mountain, unmoved. As countless boulders were about to hit him, he suddenly roared, "Crystal Wall!"
Buzz!
A vibration echoed in the air.
A crystal-clear, glass-like wall suddenly appeared above Bai Xiaofei. The boulders hit it and immediately lost their momentum, like bulls sinking into a swamp. Not only that, but the boulders, having lost their kinetic energy, paused for a moment and then shot upwards like baseballs hit by a bat, flying into the sky with immense force.
Bang, bang, bang...
The boulders rolling down and the boulders flying up collided like enemies meeting on a narrow path, producing loud explosions and booms, creating a massive scene in the quiet night, startling countless birds and insects.
Fortunately, the valley Bai Xiaofei chose was quite secluded, with no human presence for miles around, otherwise, it would have caused a great commotion.
Crack...
The boulders shattered into countless small pieces, raining down like a shower.
Bai Xiaofei remained unmoved, and with a thought, his psychokinesis activated. Under the mental enhancement of the Aries Gold Cloth, it transformed into a pair of nearly 20-meter-long hands, gathering the countless boulders. Then, with a grip, a "crack, crack" sound echoed, and when the hands opened again, the countless small stones had been compressed into a spherical boulder about 8 meters in diameter.
Bang!
After placing the spherical boulder down, the dust around had mostly dissipated, revealing the mountain wall that had been hit.
The rocky mountain wall, originally rugged and jagged, exuding a sense of hardness, was now completely unrecognizable, with a large area deeply indented, forming a significant mountain pit!
If Bai Xiaofei hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed that this was once a rugged and jagged mountain wall!
Bai Xiaofei roughly estimated that the Star Dust Revolution, using only 60% of his psychokinesis, had shattered the mountain wall to a depth of nearly 7 meters, with considerable power, comparable to some small missiles. As his mental energy and psychokinesis improved, and as he delved deeper into the magic runes, the power of this ultimate skill would become even stronger!
The Crystal Wall was also incredibly powerful, not only providing invincible defense but also reflecting damage, almost like a cheat tool!
With the Crystal Wall, Bai Xiaofei would no longer fear bullets, snipers, small bombs, or missiles. If they dared to attack, he would make them suffer the consequences!
What excited Bai Xiaofei the most was the mental enhancement of the Aries Gold Cloth. Based on its performance, it at least doubled his psychokinesis power. If he activated the blood control ability, the enhancement would be at least four times! At that point, whether in attack or defense, it would unleash immense power, making Bai Xiaofei very satisfied!
In short, after a series of tests, Bai Xiaofei was extremely pleased.
"Just an incomplete version can enhance my strength to such a terrifying degree. If I add Tony's designed skeletal parts and high-tech equipment, how powerful will the complete Aries Gold Cloth be? It's truly something to look forward to!"
Bai Xiaofei looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle, his eyes gleaming, and muttered to himself.
"The Aries Gold Cloth is initially completed, and it's time to start my plundering plan. After dawn, I'll bid farewell to the old king and head to South Korea, hoping to find my target. If I can't find it, I'll go to San Francisco. In any case, before completing the time-space mission, I must plunder as much as possible to maximize my benefits, even if it means going against S.H.I.E.L.D.!"
