American comics: Something is wrong with this superhero world

Chapter 197: Support the bold to death, starve the timid to death

When Erica came back in the evening, Xiao Xian had just signed a contract with Jordan, officially announcing that Jordan could enter paradise after his death.

To be honest, Xiao Xian compared the value of Jigsaw's soul and found that even if the value of Jordan's soul itself is not considered, the origin of the world transformed from the sinful power generated by Jordan's fall is far greater than that of Jigsaw.

Although he hasn't tried it yet, Xiao Xian estimates that the power of sin generated by Jordan's fall should exceed the value of Jordan's soul itself.

It seems that as the lord of the Hell of Slaanesh, the corresponding sinful power of Slaanesh will bring higher benefits.

"Okay, you guys go down." After sending Jordan and Naomi away, Xiao Xian looked at Erica's soul and asked, "How is it going? Have you got any news about Jenny and Anmanette?"

"Found it, Master." Erica said respectfully, "The Bojian Department has found Anmanet's information in the tomb of a Crusader Knight, and is planning to send Miss Jenny to Egypt to explore Anmanet's tomb. Miss Jenny is expected to leave in three days."

"It seems that I came at a good time. Have you found out the whereabouts of the gem that contains the ritual dagger?"

Xiao Xian touched his chin when he heard this, and then asked, the whereabouts of the ritual dagger gem is the key to Set's arrival.

According to the performance in the movie, at least some of Set's powers are hidden in it. After undergoing the ceremony, Tom Cruise at least possessed skills including life absorption and resurrection.

The former is fine, but the latter was clearly performed by utilizing Set's power over life, death, and the underworld. Not only did he resurrect the heroine, but he also resurrected her friends. Xiao Xian would never believe such a move unless he was an authority-hungry person.

Even for Xiao Xian, unless he is in his own hell space, if he wants to resurrect a person, he must have that person's soul and pay a huge amount of the world's origin. It also depends on whether the world will open up this part of the authority and agree to the deal.

With Xiao Xian's current wealth, it is possible for him to resurrect an ordinary person by gritting his teeth and spending a lot of money. But if he wants to resurrect someone of the heroine's level like Tom Cruise did, even if he sells all his souls to the will of the world, it will not be enough.

"I've found it. Do you want me to take you there?" Erica said with her head down. She had worked hard to complete the tasks assigned by Xiao Xian.

"Just tell me the address. There's no rush to take it out." Xiao Xian shook his head. Once the gem was taken out of the coffin, Anmanet would be able to sense the whereabouts of the gem.

Although Xiao Xian has ten thousand ways to stop Jenny and Nick from going to the ancient tomb, fate is not something that can be stopped just because you want to.

What's more crucial is that this world is Set's home ground. Without the help of the holy relics of Christianity to block Set's perception, Xiao Xian would not be able to take out the gem without letting Set sense it.

As for destroying the gem, that would be a bit of a waste. As a dimensional demon who steals souls in various worlds, Xiao Xian is very interested in Set's power over life, death, and soul.

To call that gem a divine artifact would be an understatement; in the dnd world, it is at least a treasure that contains a part of Set's godhood and divinity; it can even be called the incarnation of Set.

In fact, Set's purpose of throwing this ritual dagger into the material world was also to descend into the real world. If the material world had not rejected the arrival of a god like Set, the dagger would have most likely automatically turned into Set's incarnation after entering the material world. "Give me the scene around the Golden Scripture of the Sun." Xiao Xian said to Erica. One of the main tasks of Xiao Xian sending Erica to the Bojian Department was to obtain information about the Golden Scripture of the Sun.

"Yes, sir~" Erica transmitted a memory to Xiao Xian after hearing this. She was just a mortal before her death, but after her death, especially after Xiao Xian asked her to gather intelligence, he gave Erica a certain degree of spellcasting ability.

"Hmm~" After receiving the message, Xiao Xian drew a circle in front of him and opened a small portal. This was the same book-stealing skill that Doctor Strange used.

After reaching out to take the Golden Sun Sutra, Xiao Xian closed the portal and looked at the Golden Sun Sutra in front of him. He was very sure that this was the authentic Golden Sun Sutra.

From a mortal's perspective, this is just an antique book, but from Xiao Xian's dimensional demon's perspective, this thing is just a small sun. The power and divine force contained in it even moved Xiao Xian.

"It seems to be locked, and I am incompetent and cannot find its key. It seems that there is no information about the key in the Department of Information Science." Erica did not see how special the Golden Scripture of the Sun in front of her was, but she vaguely felt that this Scripture was not ordinary.

"The key is not the key. The mechanism made in ancient Egypt is not a problem for me. The trouble is the power attached to it. I don't think it will be open to me."

After getting the scripture, Xiao Xian realized that his plan to steal the skills might not be realistic. This Golden Scripture of the Sun carries authority and divine power, and most likely contains the will of God. It would be better if Xiao Xian, the dimensional demon from outside the domain, does not open it. Once he opens it, it will definitely awaken the will of God contained in the book and he will be discovered by the god behind the book.

Considering that the name of this book is the Golden Sutra of the Sun and the power it contains is like the sun, Xiao Xian felt that it would be better for him not to disturb the will of God contained in it.

And even if it was opened forcibly, with Xiao Xian's identity as a demon god from another dimension, what he would see would certainly be a blank. It would be good enough if he wasn't blinded in the face by the will of the god with the flames of the sun. How could he want to steal their skills?

However, just because this thing is difficult to open now doesn't mean it is useless. When Xiao Xian went back that day, he smuggled this thing into the dimensional space, and then he could use his authority in the hell dimension to analyze the power and scriptures contained therein.

The only problem is that in the eyes of the world's will, this thing might be more valuable than the male protagonist Tom Cruise. After all, it contains authority and divine power, the authority and divine power of the main god, which is almost the same as stealing an ordinary god.

After smuggling this back to the dimensional space, Xiao Xian was worried that the next time he appeared in this universe, he would be punished by God. He might even be besieged by a bunch of saint goddesses holding divine weapons.

"Never mind. The brave ones will die of overeating, and the timid ones will die of starvation. If I am forced to run away one day, I will take this with me and the gem as well. But in that case, Set won't be able to appear directly in my dimension. Never mind. Even the powerful gods of this world will probably not be my opponents even if they run into my dimension."

Xiao Xian thought about it and decided to be bolder. However, he didn't dare to keep this thing next to him, because he didn't know when someone would look at him. It would be better to leave it where it was. Anyway, as long as he knew where it was, he could just open the portal and run away.

After redrawing the portal, Xiao Xian silently put the Golden Sun Sutra back to its original place.
