"Tiger Strike!"
"Earthquake Fist!"
"Flamenco Step!"
"Tyrannosaurus Wing Flight!"
"Electric Eyes—Burning, Electric Eyes!!"
Buzz!!
It was as if the blazing sun had been embedded into his pupils.
Searing flames poured from his eyes.
Two terrifying beams, each half a foot in diameter, immediately pierced the sky, tearing through the clouds and striking down one massive aerial shadow after another—wing spans of several meters, hulking forms!
The second-generation superhuman serum had granted A-Fu multiple abilities!Like a Kryptonian from another universe.
Of course, the attacks' power was somewhat diminished.
Not quite Clark Kent's level.
Yet, even in the Marvel world, he could be considered among the strongest beings on Earth—enough to face the original Avengers alone!
The original Avengers.
"Why would such a brave and battle-hardened warrior bow to the Holy Lord?"
The floating cat-faced monster said, face complex.
"Warrior?"
"He will soon become a corpse, buried here!"
The voice was eerie and magical.
The towering figure with blue face and fangs suddenly clenched the hilt of his ancestral demon blade—the Mogami family's millennia-old treasure, Tōjikiri Yasutsuna!
Shing!
A brilliant, icy-cold light flashed.
The blade, capable of countering Edman metal slashes, exorcising evil, breaking curses, and purifying all malign forces, suddenly swung toward Black Tiger A-Fu!Yashitada Shingen's face twisted into a horrifying grimace, irises radiating bloodlines, expression extremely contorted!
Clang!
A-Fu raised his arms to block.
The roar of metal and steel clashing exploded instantly!Tōjikiri Yasutsuna had cut through A-Fu's leopard-patterned fur straight to deep tissue, the wound nearly bone-deep!Tendons, fibers, capillaries—
None of them seemed to react!Not a single drop of blood!This showed just how incredibly sharp the Mogami family's treasured blade was!
"This…"
"Yashitada Shingen, once defenseless, has grown so powerful?"
"Because of that mask?!"
Lashua, Fenn, and Zhou exclaimed in astonishment.
Indeed.
The Ghost Shadow Mask.
It had incredible properties.
It could grant its wearer extraordinary, unimaginable physique and strength, boosting all attributes, inheriting all abilities of the deceased Ghost Shadow General.
For example, summoning a corresponding shadow army!And no matter how kind or strong-willed the wearer, they could not resist the mask's evil energy.
Gradually, morality would erode, reason lost, transforming them into a ruthless Mummy General!A complete fall into darkness!
Only the formula recorded on the Huazha card could remove the mask.
"Perfect timing for some combat training."
"And to fill Pogang's hungry stomach."
The upright Eastern youth smiled.
He had no plans to remove the mask—for now.
With the removal formula in hand, the world was his!
"Only two mummies appeared?"
"Where are the others?"
Electric arcs crackled across Su's body within the Thunder Devil. Sparks flew, eager to strike, ready to suppress the Mummy General!Yet, the other generals had not appeared at all!
They were following Tara's instructions, completing a crucial task!
If successful…
The Original Demon would return!
The "beast" that once rewarded him with the Ghost Shadow body could easily subdue all demons!
Imprison them in the depths of the Shadow Realm…
Never to be reborn!
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!!
One by one, shadow warriors rose from the ground, forming into solid shapes.
Strong, imposing bodies, blood-red terrifying faces, capable of executing all sorts of tasks, bringing endless fear and torment, appearing and disappearing at will!
Buzz!!
Aerial units with wing spans of several meters, like vampiric bats, raised their hands to unleash dazzling shockwaves.
Where their beams struck, even mountaintop snow instantly melted, vanishing completely.
Aerial shadows!
Led by the Mummy General, they launched a fierce, deadly counterattack!
"Angel!"
"Don't disappoint me!"
The Ghost Shadow Demon King's face twisted in a snarl.
"Tara!"
"How considerate of you—preparing such a lavish meal for me!"
The plump woman in a kimono spoke again.
Woo woo woo!!
A strong, powerful pull, like a whirling hurricane, drew the shadow warriors of Asama Shrine at Mount Futo toward her.They lost control, turning into streams of shadow flowing directly into her mouth!Glints of teeth, crystal clear.
A dazzlingly beautiful jewel.
Pure Ghost Shadow energy, melting on the tongue!
Cool, refreshing flavor spread across the palate!
Comparable to milk pudding!
Why "comparable"?Because Pogang had seen it, never tasted it!After breaking the seal, her only wish was to sample the world's cuisine—if it didn't taste good, the chef would be devoured!
"Pogang!"
"Silence!"
Tara's eyes flared in anger, mustache twitching as she glared!
Her own soldiers being devoured?!
Such a death could never be recreated—never reformed from the Dark Kingdom!
Buzz!!
Tara's gaze intensified.
An invisible psychic storm suddenly surged out.
It instantly enveloped the kimono-clad plump woman!
"…How dare you interrupt my mealtime?"
A deep, coarse roar rang out.
Whoosh!
Fiery magical smoke spread rapidly.
"Big Sister's angry!"
The demon's pupils constricted.
The smoke cleared.
Before them stood a towering green-skinned monster, over ten meters high, body mass rivaling a residential apartment, as hulking as a mountain.Coarse, tough skin, dark green, joints lined with rock.
Hair tied at the back, fiery red lips broad and full.
Short limbs.
But movement unaffected.
Tongue unusually flexible!
Pogang!
Wielding the power of the Gen hexagram!
Symbolizing majestic, towering mountains!Super strong defense, greatly reducing magical damage!
Even the Dragon Charm spell's fiery explosions were like scraping against the skin for Pogang.
Clang! Clang!
The psychic storm struck Pogang.
A piercing noise rang out.
Then…
Nothing!
"Is this the true form of the Mountain Demon?!"
"I'm heartbroken!"
"FFFFF!"
"Sorry, I vomited!"
A-Fu, Lashua, Fenn, and Zhou's faces twisted as they struggled to maintain composure.
Yet the sudden sensory assault was overwhelming!
Finally, unable to bear the plunge from heaven to hell…
They fell into madness, thoughts distorted, indescribable insanity!
They began pounding the incoming shadow warriors!Bang bang bang bang!
Brilliant fireballs flew from their hands.
Shendu never retracted the fire demon's energy!
Thus, the Four of the Black Hand could still wield it.
"Devouring Heaven and Earth!"
The mountain-like green demon roared.
Rolling sound waves spread outward.
The thick snow covering Mount Futo immediately cracked!
Massive avalanches erupted!
Yet, a terrifying suction force appeared, redirecting the avalanches, which transformed like ice cream into silver dragons, diving into Pogang's gaping maw!Even the overwhelming Night Bat Army suffered!Tossed by the storm, their forms dissolved; pure Ghost Shadow energy further filled Pogang's hungry stomach!His body grew even larger.
Even more colossal!
Massive!
Seeming to reach a state of being as mighty as the land itself!Flames of magic soared!
