Jackie Chan Adventures: I, the Mirror God, Master of Fear

Chapter 245 Ultimate Darkness
Dad's Antique Shop.

"Hey~"

The exclamations of surprise from Dad and Tru rang out almost simultaneously.

The old man disregarded the two demon wizards in his hands and quickly stood up, sensing the somewhat viscous darkness around him.

His magic was almost instantly destroyed.

And this level of darkness... seems to be...
"Ultimate Darkness!"

"Ultimate Darkness?" Tru's eyes were filled with disbelief. "Doesn't that require all nine Shadow Generals to gather?"

He then realized what he meant: "Masks count too?"

The old man jogged towards the storage room, with Tru following closely behind.

But the next moment.

thump~
A thicker, colder darkness erupted, causing the two to stop in their tracks.

Tread~
Low footsteps approached.

The old man now had a dried lizard in his hand.

Before he could even cast a spell.

Then, in the darkness, figures clad in heavy armor, each with a long sword at their waist, silently moved away.

At the very front of them stood a general, dressed entirely in blue armor, who glanced back with his azure eyes.

Then, following the darkness and carrying the momentum of the resurgence of shadows, it silently turned and left.

It's not just him.

A general with long hair, scarlet skin and body, and a withered face.

There was a general who was entirely purple, hairless, but had unusually sharp fingers.

There was a general with yellow fur all over his body and bat wings.

One by one, the generals, carrying boundless darkness and crimson, silently marched in nine directions.

To spread darkness throughout the world.

"Sir, let's go stop them!"

With his temples already turning gray, Tru summoned his armor and, without a second thought, prepared to unleash his divine power to stop these guys.

Given the current number and momentum of the Shadow Legion, it's uncertain how many will die.

Just as the prophecy foretold, the whole world will be plunged into darkness.

But Dad stopped Tru.

He put down the dried lizard, looking somewhat tired, pushed his reading glasses up two centimeters to his nose, and rubbed his temples: "It's no use."

Tru was taken aback and turned to look at his teacher: "What do you mean?"

“They are carrying the momentum of the Shadow’s resurgence. Unless one has the power to suppress the entire Shadow, the Shadow’s resurgence is unstoppable!” The old man said, his mind racing as he considered countermeasures.

"Then what can we do? We can't just watch them rule the world."

"Two methods." The old man pushed his reading glasses back, and the weariness and helplessness in his eyes quickly disappeared.

Shadow wasn't Cursed Blue, and couldn't plunge his father into despair; he just felt very tired.

"What method?" Tru asked with some surprise. In Sakura, almost nine out of ten houses in major cities were now empty, and the devastation was indescribable. He did not want to replicate this tragedy in other places.

"To catch the thief, first catch the king. Enter the shadows, find Tara, and seal her away again." The old man said, then paused for a moment.

Under Tru's expectant gaze, he continued, "Awaken Jade, let Jade be crowned, and restore the authority of the Shadow Queen."

Tru was taken aback, but asked without hesitation, "How can I find Tara? What materials do I need? I'll go find her right now."

The old man looked at Tru, paused for a moment, and shook his head: "Go back to China first."

"Sir, the power of shadow is very seductive, Xiaoyu now..."

“We must prepare for both possibilities.” The old man interrupted Tru without hesitation, staring into his eyes and speaking very seriously.

The Shadow Legion has caused far too much bloodshed.

Jade will naturally face risks in accepting the coronation, but these risks are less than those of the Shadow ruling the world.

Moreover, while Father has the magic to suppress the Shadow Queen, he cannot suppress the entire Shadow realm.

Therefore, if Tara can be found, sealing her away would be best; if not...
Between two evils, the lesser one must be chosen, and Xiaoyu is the last resort.

Tru stared at his father for a moment, his fists clenched tightly.

But in the end, she helplessly let go: "I understand, sir."

The old man raised his hand, and without chanting any incantation, a door slowly opened.

The moment the two entered.

Beep~ Beep~
A rhythmic sound, like tiny hammers striking people's hearts, rang out. It was the sound of a patient monitor.

The old man and Tru looked up and saw two children lying on two beds in a clean and spacious hospital room.

Chen Xinxin, Chen Shen, and Cheng Long were all in this ward.

The three of them turned their heads at the same time, looking at their father with some worry in their eyes.

The old man was silent for a moment, then sighed softly, and decided not to try to wake Xiaoyu up now.

Instead, he said to Jackie Chan, "You come out first, Tru follow me."

Under the watchful eyes of Chen Xinxin and Chen Shen, the three of them quietly walked out of the ward.

Chen Xinxin held Xiaoyu's hand in one hand and stroked Xiaoyu's head with the other, staring at the wisp of white hair on her forehead.

Tears still welled up in her eyes.

Chen Shen's eyes also began to moisten. He hugged his wife and daughter, looked up, and gazed out the window.

The darkness had not yet spread to this side, and he could see the moonlight growing ever brighter.

I'm in the prime of my life, so why do I feel so weak?
God, if there truly is a God, please protect my child and keep him safe.
And at this junction where darkness spreads.

Chen Shen's praying gaze flickered slightly.

Despair leads many to place their hopes on an ethereal god, and the moon is the best representation of that god at night.

Therefore, its god received their prayers.

However, though God's gaze flickered, it remained silent.

On the far side of the moon, invisible to mortals.

At this moment, a huge formation enveloped the area.

Within the formation, a mech nine meters tall, carrying a massive machine over a kilometer long on its back, was skillfully installing the operating machinery.

This is the most advanced computer the goblin civilization possesses, aside from its celestial computer.

Its computing power can even alter the spatial structure, putting it thousands of versions ahead of current human technology.

Not far from the computer, a figure dressed in a scarlet robe and wearing a black and gold crown floated in mid-air.

His hands were tucked into his sleeves, and his clothes were billowing erratically, like an energy tide caused by energy that could not be completely suppressed.

However, these tides were blocked by a dark array, preventing their aura from leaking out at all.

The energy within the evil god was undergoing an extreme transformation. The stripes on his body became increasingly simple, and the clouds around his lower body churned more violently, sometimes transforming into a fish tail, sometimes into legs, and sometimes into hooves. It seemed to change in countless ways, yet it also seemed to have never changed at all.

In the eyes of the evil god, a massive stream of data was constantly surging.

The supercomputer is analyzing everything on Earth and digitizing everything it knows.

For example, the current transformation of power is seen by the evil god.

[Rules are being integrated; progress on the transformation of fear into nothingness: 78%-79%]

Lin Luo is also incorporating much of his knowledge into the supercomputer.

Let the computer make a data-driven calculation of the current situation.

Based on existing knowledge and comparisons, the world's shadow concentration has increased by 3000%.

World fire element activity increased by 36.15%.
Based on current knowledge, it is estimated that, excluding you, the Flame Lord's chance of being boosted is 100% under the Shadows.

Besides this data, many more things are being calculated, causing the evil god to frown.

Based on the available information, it is deduced that the opening is the last door of the Panku Box, which was left by an immortal god and was used in the destiny calculation when intervening in the Gate of the Earth.

The probability that an immortal god is watching over Earth is: 100%.
The probability of a shadow being observed is: 100%
The probability of the Mountain Lord being observed is: 100%
The probability of the Fire Lord being observed is: 56.72%
The probability of the Sky Lord being watched is: 0%
The probability of the God of Fear being observed is 17.32%.

17%
This data seems a bit high.

This is understandable, after all, he is the only one in 40,000 years whose authority and rank have not only not regressed but have actually advanced.

It's easy to attract the attention of the gods, especially since this is the most crucial moment for the last door.

They definitely don't want any accidents to happen over there.

Input some ideas into the supercomputer.

Almost instantly, it provided the corresponding data.

Analysis based on your ideas.

Your chances of being watched have decreased to: 0.003%

Lin Luo's brows gradually relaxed.

He stood with his hands clasped behind his back, silently looking down.

He began to slightly suppress his own advancement progress, and started to control the perspective of the two subordinate gods below.
