American variety show world begins with subduing Jason

Like a can of sardines suddenly opened, a large group of people squeezed in following the golden light.

Various colorful magical artifacts suddenly opened, and more than a dozen sharp, sword-like gazes vigilantly surveyed their surroundings.

"You're all alright—!"

It was as if the pause button had been pressed, and the air suddenly became silent.

The young man, holding a change of clothes in one hand and what appeared to be "trophies" in the other, became a petrified statue.

Beneath two tattered robes, a slight shiver ran through them, each revealing a graceful figure with its own unique charm.

For the rescue team, who were already prepared to fight the enemy, this scene, which could be described with seven or eight sensitive words, was a bit too shocking.

If it weren't for the fact that all the visitors were highly skilled superhumans, their average age of over 60 would have made it hard to believe.

Although the rooster still crows, it has become unchanging, resembling a wooden rooster.

Zhu Mingyao felt that he had never understood the wisdom of Master Zhuangzi so profoundly. The description was so damn accurate. It turns out that under certain circumstances, humans can really become one with wood and stone, and even the blood will stop flowing!

As if by telepathy, all eyes turned away and then silently turned and left.

At the back of the crowd, Henry Lai tiptoed over, rummaged around for a while, and then stuffed a pack of premium Marlboro cigarettes into the young man's hand, patting him on the shoulder with a wink:

"I knew it! My divination couldn't be wrong. It really is a double-petaled peach blossom..."

Ahem, based on my past experience, having a cigarette at this time will make me feel much better...

Ah, youth, youth, I was like that back then...

Zhu Mingyao automatically ignored his subsequent rambling.

The young man stared blankly at the chaotic sky, his consciousness seemingly traversing billions of light-years, soaring through the boundless sea of ​​stars.

"It is said that due to funding issues, Houston's outer space exploration rocket has not been launched for several years..."

I wonder if I could get a one-way ticket if I used all my savings to sponsor it?

Ah! Goodbye... Mother Earth!

Chapter 434

In the midst of nothingness, two pure white lilies stand side by side, their pure, clear fragrance wafting through the air as they rise and fall.

On the slender, six-petaled petals, wing-shaped dark patterns shimmered, emitting wisps of mysterious light, as if roots were sprouting, trying to take hold here.

A sudden surge of energy, seemingly from nowhere, arose abruptly, like a tidal wave sweeping across the land, instantly causing a dramatic change in the weather.

The flowers swayed precariously in the face of this sudden upheaval, stubbornly resisting this unknown force.

But this determination was not appreciated. As if enraged, the waves suddenly intensified and surged forward again, crushing the delicate flowers and knocking them about.

A faint roar, seemingly from nowhere, echoed, as if some malevolent voice was spouting incoherent and frantic curses. But if one were to listen closely, one would find that anger and despair accounted for only a small part of the emotion; more than that, there was a sense of utterly absurd and stifling frustration.

As if finally unable to withstand the pressure, after a faint shattering sound, the dazzling flower collapsed and disintegrated.

As the hazy, ethereal pink light dissipates, the fresh aroma transforms into a rich and fragrant scent, like the juice flowing from a ripe fruit bursting open—a thick, viscous feeling that almost overflows.

Two wondrous auras arose, one fiery and vibrant like a blazing flame, the other deep and serene like a shadow, instinctively enveloping them in the opposite direction.

The surging waves, still unabated, transformed into a raging storm, thunder, and lightning, helplessly shattering the two energies.

Although its aura appeared weak in front of the opponent and repeatedly dissipated amidst the raging waves, it always persevered and remained standing, displaying remarkable resilience.

After a short while, the flames and shadows shed their initial confusion and panic, and even found a way to cope with the situation. Together, they sometimes flanked from the left and right, and sometimes attacked from both sides, entangled and restrained the fierce waves, and eventually became indistinguishable from one another...

His mind was in a daze, feeling light and carefree as if he were floating in the void. Zhu Mingyao felt as if he were floating on a cloud.

He was in a daze for a long time until he heard a few soft breaths and the sound of teeth grinding, which startled him awake.

A refreshing, green apple-like scent lingered on his lips. He savored it, licking his tongue, and gently raised his hand. The broken fibers reformed, and two slightly torn pieces of silk fabric draped softly at his sides.

—The ups and downs, the twists and turns of the battle were enough to exhaust all my energy, so it's always good to rest a little longer.

Tiny specks of black and white tangled dust rose up, rotating mechanically, like a cold and indifferent galaxy.

This is the last embers and remnants of the two sacred relics, [Pure Mark] and [Samael's Feather]. Even though most of their essence has vanished with the dissipation of the host's soul, what remains still contains considerable power and mystery.

They drifted slowly in the air, trying to come together, as if there was some unfinished attraction and response between them.

Zhu Mingyao pondered for a moment, then focused his mind and summoned the Three Primal Palace, absorbing all the surrounding light and dust into it. In an instant, the precious light shone brightly, and all the gods within the palace mobilized, quickly analyzing and refining the light and dust to strengthen this magical artifact. Within a few breaths, everything returned to calm, leaving only a faint, elegant glow gently flowing.

"Heh, by some twist of fate, I've managed to complete the original request to destroy the holy marks."

He rested his chin on his hand and whispered, forcing himself to calm down and racking his brains to think.

With official business concluded, it's time to get down to personal matters, but the problem is...

Oh dear! I have absolutely no experience with stepping on...that thing!

Just as Zhu Mingyao was troubled, the two hazy figures lying on their sides suddenly rose and fell slightly, as if they were about to wake up from their deep sleep.

His eyes darted around, and he quickly coughed forcefully. Sure enough, the two curves remained still, and even a faint snoring sound resumed, but no matter how you looked at it, it seemed to have an added sense of trying to cover it up.

Thank goodness, it happened so suddenly that they probably hadn't figured out what to do.

Embracing a revolutionary optimism, Zhu Mingyao found joy amidst hardship, indulged in a series of wild thoughts, and then began cleaning up the mess.

Anyway, let's clean up the mess first and calm things down before making any further decisions. I imagine we were comrades before, and even more so now; we can just talk things out privately behind closed doors.

Anyway, it happened in a secluded place; only heaven, earth, I, you… know. Everyone can keep their distance; we can't all be killed by a woodcutter's axe, can we…?

Zhu Mingyao clasped his hands together, and all sorts of random things flew over on their own, gathering into a sphere in his palms.

He suddenly stopped what he was doing, glanced down at his clothes which were in dire need of repair, and decided to strip them all off, intending to destroy the evidence.

However, in the next second, the space began to violently tremble, and an inexplicable force surged from all directions. Then, a golden light burst forth, as if a sharp blade had pierced through it.

"Crash!"

Like a can of sardines suddenly opened, a large group of people squeezed in following the golden light.

Various colorful magical artifacts suddenly opened, and more than a dozen sharp, sword-like gazes vigilantly surveyed their surroundings.

"You're all alright—!"

It was as if the pause button had been pressed, and the air suddenly became silent.

The young man, holding a change of clothes in one hand and what appeared to be "trophies" in the other, became a petrified statue.

Beneath the two long robes, a slight shiver ran through them, each revealing a graceful figure from behind.

For the rescue team, who were already prepared to fight the enemy, the impact of this scene was slightly excessive.

If it weren't for the fact that all the visitors were highly skilled superhumans, their average age of over 60 would have made it hard to believe.

Although the rooster still crows, it has become unchanging, resembling a wooden rooster.

Zhu Mingyao felt that he had never understood the wisdom of Master Zhuangzi so profoundly. The description was so damn accurate. It turns out that when humans suffer a huge blow, they can really become like wood and stone, and even their blood will stop flowing!

As if by telepathy, all eyes turned away and then silently turned and left.

At the back of the crowd, Henry Lai tiptoed over, rummaged around for a while, and then stuffed a pack of premium Marlboro cigarettes into the young man's hand, patting him on the shoulder with a wink:

"I knew it! My divination couldn't be wrong. It really is a double-petaled peach blossom..."

The fact that it can't be deleted is really annoying. You think it's been blocked, but then it reappears a couple of times, like it's having a seizure.

Chapter 435

In the deep chaos, a crystal-clear cube fell straight down, like a sparkling pearl slowly sinking into the dark depths of the sea.

The "pearl" gently touched the smooth, silver-gray metal platform, and a handsome young man with black hair and dark eyes stepped forward.

"No matter how many times I see it, it always feels incredibly spectacular."

Just like when they first met, gazing at the "tree canopy" composed of hundreds of silver pillars that were neither gold nor wood in the distance, he still uttered the same exclamation.

This time, however, there were no annoying obstacles in front of them.

Well, apart from the middle-aged man's old face with black-rimmed glasses, he still looked a bit out of place.

“Please come this way, Lord Alex.” He adjusted his glasses, his gaze sweeping over the blood-red snake-scale stone egg in the other man’s palm.

"As per orders from above, please transport the spoils to Level Zero Research Lab 1."

A hazy mist, like flowing sand, swept underfoot, carrying visitors swiftly forward, much like an airport conveyor belt, with uniquely shaped buildings flashing by.

"It's really amazing. In just a few days, my strength has not changed at all, but my authority seems to have increased a lot... At least this time I won't be turned away."

Alex had a frivolous smile on his lips, whether it was a joke or self-deprecation was hard to tell.

"Sir, you're overthinking it. It's just a change based on a simple administrative order," the slightly balding middle-aged manager said calmly.

"The Villa in the Woods is a purely research institution. The barbaric standard of determining rank, position, and authority based on the strength of one's supernatural powers is not applicable here."

"Heh." Stung by the arrogance in his unspoken words, Alex chuckled coldly, a hint of amusement flashing in his eyes.

A dense darkness swirled and condensed in his hand like flowing water, and a lifelike shadow bat flapped its wings as if about to take flight. Its two tiny, scarlet eyes, as small as soybeans, blinked as it stared at the arrogant human beside it, and the aura of a high-ranking supernatural predator quietly descended upon it.

"squeak--!"

The mental pressure that would make a healthy adult tremble suddenly vanishes in the next second.

A powerful, domineering, and indifferent invisible force suddenly arose, like a giant blade that could cleave through everything, cutting straight back along the connection between the two.
