I logged into Mr. Zombie

The red balloon burst, and the clown's figure appeared as expected.

However, it didn't look well at the moment. Perhaps Carrie's power was too great, and the effect of the comical magic caused the legendary terrifying clown Pennywise to turn into a deflated, wrinkled clown balloon.

It is shriveling up at an extremely rapid rate.

Gone was the eerie, sinister smile; now only a pitiful look remained.

"Pfft!" Someone couldn't help but burst out laughing.

This is like a chain reaction.

"It doesn't look scary at all."

"It's kind of pitiful."

"As long as we're not afraid of it!"

The Losers' Alliance, hand in hand, actually walked towards the Joker. They saw through the Joker's true nature and resisted the fear he brought, which drained the Joker's power, turning him from a magically transformed figure into one whose power truly dissipated.

Carrie clearly felt this, and as she slowly increased the pressure on her fingers, the clown began to twist and then burst open with a "pop," just like a real balloon.

"No—!" The clown's voice turned shrill.

Just before it was about to completely dissipate, a golden hand wrapped in strange runes appeared out of thin air, grabbed the clown by the neck, and pulled it back from the brink of disappearance.

“Jay?” *N
Everyone looked at Tan Wenjie.

They had all called out Tan Wenjie's name in their minds before, so when they saw Tan Wenjie now, they felt an indescribable sense of peace.

“This guy is cunning; you haven’t truly eliminated him,” Tan Wenjie said, staring at the clown. “Look, he’s even using his neck to bind my hands. He’s definitely not easy to deal with!”

Everyone: "..."

You're clearly holding someone by the throat, yet for some reason they feel that Pennywise the Joker is being rather pitiful at this moment.

As they conceived this idea, the clown's panic became increasingly apparent.

It was pitied, so its power was rapidly declining.

“Open your mouth and repeat after me—” Tan Wenjie said.

The clown was forced to open his mouth, and then Tan Wenjie reached out and pulled out a ball of light.

It was a cluster of light formed by three orbs of light rotating around each other, which was also the Joker's essence: the Death Ray.

There are many theories about its origin, but for Tan Wenjie, it is just a very ancient force, and its strength is not low.

He opened his mouth and swallowed the ball of light.

The most powerful vessel in the world is not any magical artifact that can capture people, but Tan Wenjie's body, which has cultivated seventy-two transformations and possesses a bronze head and iron arms.

The internal organs are not only poured with molten steel, but are also constantly being burned by the forces of lightning and Samadhi fire, like a huge smelting furnace. If you swallow molten iron or copper balls, they will be quickly melted.

The ball of light flickered twice rapidly as it was swallowed into the throat, but it never emitted light again after entering the stomach.

"Won't you get an upset stomach if you eat this?" the chubby boy asked, grinning as if he were the one who swallowed the ball of light.

"Not for now...?"

On a hot afternoon, people were playing and laughing, and no one noticed that the town, shrouded in the shadow of darkness and terror, was welcoming the light.

The Losers' League from Derry Town returns to school, and their impression of the Joker is gradually fading.

Tan Wenjie sat in the car, with Jia Li, who had undergone a spiritual transformation, in the passenger seat.

He turned his gaze away from the crowd outside the window. These "protagonists" had finished filming their scenes, and the world power around them was rapidly weakening. The light sphere that Tan Wenjie had obtained was in a similar situation, and its aura was becoming increasingly faint.

Either find a new goal and feed the death ray with fear, or simply give up.

"The ball is about to begin," Tan Wenjie said.

Carrie wore a meaningful smile.

Having experienced the illusion, she has now completely transformed. She is no longer the timid and obedient girl, but a woman with extremely strong superpowers.

“I want to wear a beautiful dress,” Carrie said.

Tam Man-kit still asked, "Do you need a dance partner?"

……

The town of Salem is very quiet at night.

The school dance was held as scheduled, but on the road next to the school, a motorcycle with its lights flashing suddenly stopped, a boy in a jacket got off, and reached out to pull down the girl in a dress on the back seat.

Under the watchful eyes of the school crowd, Carrie, dressed in a formal gown, walked into the school with him.

It was a very harmonious and peaceful ball. Carrie, who had been able to control her powers, calmly completed the ball she had been looking forward to, while the girls who wanted to cause her trouble cowered in the corner.

They felt that Carrie had become a stranger, and although they were jealous of her, they dared not take the initiative to get close to her.

In particular, they heard that the headmaster had written a letter of recommendation for Carrie, recommending her to a prestigious university, and that she would eventually leave this remote town and become one of the social elites.

The gap between them is widening.

……

The repair shop is an organization in this world that specializes in researching supernatural phenomena. It also captures humans with superpowers for human experimentation.

All of this is controlled by the military.

In Bridgeton, there is also a military base that received a large amount of funding in a short period of time. The donors had no demands, but were just as interested in the research as the base itself.

Only a fool would refuse money that's offered for free.

And so today, the military welcomed its biggest financial backer.

A seemingly ordinary sports car smoothly approaches a secret base hidden outside Bridgeton.

The colonel, who had been waiting there, glanced at the chassis of the sports car and then asked, "Mr. Tan Wenjie?"

"It's me." The car window rolled down, revealing a handsome face.

“You’ve come at just the right time,” the colonel said. “The experiment is about to begin.”

"is it?"

Tan Wenjie opened the car door.

"Let me help you park your car."

"No need, it's fully intelligent."

The other soldiers couldn't understand why the colonel was being so obsequious, but those who knew the inside story could say they completely understood.

It was the man's massive investment that accelerated the research process by at least fifteen years.

The substantial financial support resulted in more talent, more advanced equipment, and even preferential treatment at every stage.

The car didn't actually need to be driven; under the astonished gazes of a group of people, it automatically pulled over to the side.

"Oh, right," Tan Wenjie suddenly said, "This is a new energy electric vehicle, could you find it a charging port?"

"of course can!"

The colonel waved to a curious soldier next to him.

"Sir!" A soldier jogged over and saluted.

"Go find a place to charge this car." "Yes, sir!"

The soldier turned to look at the car, tentatively beckoned to it, and said, "Come with me."

Surprisingly, the car actually followed.

"Fuck, technology is really crazy... and so are the rich!" the soldier muttered.

He had always thought he was serving in the world's most technologically advanced military base and that people outside the country were decades behind in technology. But when he saw this vehicle, he was surprised to find that he was also a "primitive person" in that technology.

The wealthy are always the first to enjoy high technology.

His resentment towards the rich only flashed for a moment before quickly dissipating, and he found a piece of equipment.

What voltage level do you need to charge your device?

The car didn't speak, it just popped open the charging port.

"Fuck, 16A?"

Technology is really acting a bit irrationally.

After the soldiers helped connect the charging port and left, in the quiet charging corner, the car twisted and deformed with a "click-click-click" sound, followed by a data transmission.

The intrusion was underway. The entire military base was being rapidly accessed without the attackers' knowledge, and top-level access was being transferred in the blink of an eye.

Meanwhile, Tan Wenjie had already arrived at the laboratory.

After nodding and greeting several scientists and the person in charge, he found a corner to stay quietly.

These people only regarded him as a fool who was throwing money away, and even thought that Tan Wenjie's strong request to come to the scene was just for a "front row ticket", so naturally no one paid much attention to him.

As the experiment officially began, Tan Wenjie keenly noticed the distortion of space.

He insisted on investing in the base because he discovered that the base was researching how to install a window at the edge of this world to create connections with other worlds.

With a loud "boom," Tan Wenjie saw the space inside the bulletproof glass laboratory shatter like a broken mirror.

"Squeak-"

A strange insect, resembling a locust but as thick as an adult's thigh, vibrated its wings and crawled out of the crack, crashing into the bulletproof glass.

The sudden appearance of the monster thrilled the scientists.

"My God!" On the contrary, the military officers felt a chill run down their spines.

This thing not only looks like a locust, but also has a scorpion-like tail; it is definitely not a benevolent creature.

As they expected, more and more locusts rushed out, crashing into the glass, causing the specially made glass to deform and become covered with fine cracks.

"Crack—" The sound of shattering glass grew clearer and clearer.

The base alarm then sounded.

The rapidly flashing red light ignited unease in the crowd.

But the bizarre swarms of locusts are not the only monsters; many more are pouring out of the cracks.

"We succeeded!" a scientist exclaimed, opening his arms wide.

"boom!"

The glass shattered, and an octopus tentacle emerged from the crack, grabbing him and dragging him into the spatial rift.

Everyone fell silent.

Clearly, they were only halfway there. Their initial exploration of the neighboring universe was indeed successful, but these neighbors were not as docile as they had imagined.

"Rat-a-tat-tat-tat—"

This was, after all, a military base, and the soldiers there were highly trained. After a brief moment of panic, rapid gunfire erupted.

Although the monsters looked terrifying, they were still just mortals. After being shot repeatedly, they eventually succumbed to the "excessive metal content" in their bodies and collapsed, losing all their strength.

Tan Wenjie moved through the military base as if it were flat ground; the monsters seemed to know he was not to be trifled with and deliberately avoided him.

A very peculiar vacuum zone was formed around its body.

"This one is ugly, this one is ugly, and this one is even uglier."

Tan Wenjie noticed that along with the monsters emerging, a thick fog spread out like a dense fungal carpet, and this fog, like the monsters, actively avoided him.

The fog was clearly conscious.

"Boom!"

The spatial rift had finally reached a point where it was out of control, and a colossal creature covered in tentacles emerged from it.

Its size blots out the sky, and its octopus-like body tissues seem to wriggle in the water, ignoring gravity.

Within his body, Tan Wenjie sensed a very familiar power, though there might be slight differences in the details, the general feeling was similar.

The other party is... a god!
Just as Tan Wenjie sensed the other party's presence, the colossal being, being a god, also sensed Tan Wenjie.

It lowered its head and looked down at the "little ants" that were being kept out of the thick fog.

A powerful mental force surged into Tan Wenjie's mind in an instant, as violently as someone kicking open a door or window and shoving shards of glass onto his face as he dozed off.

Tan Wenjie's eyes gleamed with golden light. On the surface, he appeared unchanged, but in reality, his primordial spirit had already covered the sky and the sun in his spiritual world.

A colossal creature gallops across the Earth's surface, only to find, upon looking up, a gigantic golden eye silently gazing down upon it from the depths of space.

Sensing the threat, the monster raised its head and roared, letting out a soul-shaking howl.

Tan Wenjie noticed that many soldiers around him started to go crazy after hearing his roar.

He uttered scriptures softly, not because he had to save the soldiers at the military base, but because he had no choice but to do so. It was a confrontation, a clash of powers between gods.

The golden light spread out, calming the restless spirits of the crowd.

In the spiritual world, the golden eyes above the Earth glared angrily, and a golden palm broke through the Earth's atmosphere, pressing down on the giant monster.

It was big enough, but not big enough in front of Tan Wenjie.

The extreme collision of the spiritual worlds showed no unusual phenomena in the real world. The giant beast in the thick fog simply went limp, as if the laws of physics had suddenly remembered that its bones and muscles shouldn't be able to support such a large size.

Then, his entire body collapsed with a crash.

After it tilted, it triggered storms and earthquakes, and the resulting damage spread outwards like radiation.

With the death of the enormous "god," the surrounding fog suddenly lost its vitality and stopped expanding. Even the monsters lost their urge to attack and prey, and began to huddle together for warmth.

"Buzz-"

In the thick fog, the car that the Black Mountain Demon had transformed into ran up to Tan Wenjie.

It has copied all the data, including the instruments, so the Black Mountain Demon alone can perfectly replicate the method of opening holes between different worlds.

The Spark Source provided enough energy, since the military experimental base had only used nuclear energy before. Compared to higher and more efficient energy sources, nuclear energy was not good enough in terms of either quality or efficiency.

The cracks began to close, and the world's self-healing power was patching up the leaks.

Tan Wenjie blinked, and his glasses pierced through the "windows" to see the vast expanse of deep space.

In that world, there are countless "gods" who resemble giant monsters, and they too have noticed Tan Wenjie's presence.

Looking further into the distance, piercing through that world, towards a more primordial place, there stood a towering black tower, like the very core of the world. (End of Chapter)
