American variety show world begins with subduing Jason

"...Even if you succeed, how will you escape?" The verbal battle in his mind was only a moment in the outside world. After a brief exchange, Pan asked his final question.

"Escape? Heh... They're the ones who should be running away!" A playful chuckle drifted over and vanished in an instant.

……

……

The raging waves swept across the sky, and amidst the low, mournful cries, the faint divine light clinging to the stone pillars and walls, like fireflies in autumn, sadly dissipated without a trace, symbolizing the failure of the last remaining resistance.

The raging water flowed clockwise or counterclockwise, twisting into countless whirlpools of varying sizes, and an immense, unbearable twisting force suddenly descended upon it.

In the blink of an eye, the magnificent halls were stripped away layer by layer, and the rubble and ruins were torn apart and rolled in the torrent. The ancient relics were ruthlessly swallowed up by the power of nature and turned into ruins again, as if the wheels of history were rolling forward without any obstruction.

This time, it and its owner may never be able to return from the past...

But before the person behind the scenes could even feel smug, a dazzling, shimmering blue flame rushed into their eyes.

Its majestic form settles into a rich emerald green, slowly melting into a vast expanse of light, freely spreading the freshness of the mountains, forests, and vegetation, burning with boundless longing.

That is the source of divinity, the mark of eternity!

A figure sat upright on the ground, behind which was a magnificent, illusory palace with exotic features, shimmering with jewels and dazzling light. Thousands of brilliant lights surged into it, their speed increasing until they transformed into a surging river.

"No--!

You stinking goat who deserves to fall into the abyss! &*#々…

Amidst the raging waves, an even more furious roar erupted. In her rage, the ancient sea goddess disregarded even her noble lineage, and, like a shrew, began to curse wildly in a fit of anger.

The plump prey that you've worked so hard to get is about to be yours, but suddenly it flutters and flies into someone else's mouth.

They actually intercepted us halfway! Is there no law anymore? This is absolutely intolerable!

"Kill him! Kill him! Mirequin, kill them all!"

Completely enraged, she disregarded everything, frantically calling out her companions' secret true names while unleashing her domain power with all her might.

The endless waves changed shapes, with bloodthirsty demonic sharks, ship-devouring giant whales, sea-splitting demonic octopuses... countless sea creatures, though composed purely of water, displayed the same innate abilities as their original forms, mingling with the dark clouds and storm as they crashed down!

The divine light, as radiant as the finest jade, surged forth, forming continuous ancient Greek sacred texts, like a wall of sighs standing in the underworld, silently and steadfastly isolating all intrusion.

The one who sacrificed himself, having burned his boats, even had the leisure to let out a cold smile. His face, now resembling a ram's skull, was filled with utter mockery, the meaning of which was all too clear:

"You want to devour my essence? I'd rather give it to a mortal than give it to you!"

His attitude was like adding fuel to the fire, driving the sea goddess even more mad. Amidst her angry shouts, a faint sigh echoed, revealing a seemingly calm but actually identical resentment.

In the surrounding air, glittering, irregular fragments rose up, refracting various colors of light and creating a mesmerizing glow. They then connected with each other, vaguely transforming into a broad, square giant mirror.

The mirror surface rippled with silver light, as if containing endless, profound space and time. A woman dressed in gorgeous clothes appeared, and her ethereal figure slowly reached out and clenched her fist.

The movement was incredibly gentle; judging by the force alone, it could barely pluck a newly opened rose from the garden. Yet, with that slight movement, the once impregnable wall of runes crumbled instantly, like a sandcastle caught in the rising tide, silently turning into an illusion.

Such immediate results did not come without a price. At the same time, the divine power barrier that had disappeared in the mirror suddenly reappeared beside the woman, and the intense energy conflict made her tremble slightly.

"I've transferred all his resistance to the mirror world. You do it!"

With their tacit cooperation, Pan's desperate resistance was completely thwarted, and the outcome seemed predetermined.

"I don't know whether to say you're stupid enough, greedy enough, or both?"

The divine light and flame rapidly diminished, leaving only a thin layer, and the damp spray almost hit the young man's face.

Beneath a long, frothy dress of gray, white, and dark blue, her slightly tanned, pretty face radiated immense joy.

"To be honest, I've always been a bit different from my people and haven't liked humans as sacrifices, but because of your clownish behavior, I've decided to make an exception and change my taste."

"—Let that goat, who should have long ago gone to hell, become a part of my strength!"

Her figure suddenly grew dozens of times larger, and a deep vortex opened on her chest, as if burying the legendary ocean's return to nothingness.

"What a pity. If you had wisely abandoned your companions and fled from the beginning, you might have been able to save your lives. But now, it's too late!"

However, faced with the imminent threat of death, the young man sitting calmly on the ground seemed completely unconcerned, maintaining a composed demeanor as he absorbed the blessings bestowed upon him by an ancient god. He merely raised his head and responded indifferently:

"Is it too late now? No way! I think the time... is just right!"

The words had barely left his lips when an indescribable tremor emanated from the sky, from the earth, and from all directions, instantly transforming the space into a scene resembling a painting violently torn apart.

—The sky is falling and the earth is cracking!

Four voices, some clear and some deep, rang out almost simultaneously:

"That kid's right, we think the timing is just right!"

Chapter 497 Kill! Fight!

Four distinct voices suddenly came from all directions, like the long tolling of ancient bells resounding through the void, expounding their own unique principles. They were clearly distinct from each other, yet miraculously harmonious and unified, converging here like lightning!

The most refined spiritual power, at this moment, was stirred by humankind with the wisdom of the most intelligent of all beings, transforming into invisible threads that wove together a series of mysterious and unfathomable patterns:

"Qiang——!"

A golden bell, brimming with killing intent, was the first to strike, piercing through space and striking straight at the mind. A large, dark banner was suddenly raised, fluttering in the wind!

Beneath the dark gold tassels of the military banners, gleaming armor and mountain-patterned armor, their red tassels like fire; golden maces and arrayed swords, their silver gleaming coldly, hundreds of majestic and imposing illusory figures arrayed their ceremonial guards, stirring up a chilling wind, and charged towards the vast, surging waves…

The intense energy friction produced dazzling sparks and large plumes of white mist, instantly reducing the boundless waves by at least half.

Immediately from another direction, endless gray clouds rolled and boiled, like the vastness of the beginning of the universe, with lightning and thunder, the most primal anger and passion of heaven and earth intertwined.

Two warm, gentle rays of light rose leisurely from the depths of the gray clouds, one clear and pure like the sky, the other apricot yellow and lustrous like the earth, and as they overlapped, the hexagrams appeared.

With Qian above and Kun below, this is the formation of "Heaven and Earth in Opposition"!

The power representing the closure of the order of all things descended, and the remaining half of the azure torrent, which was fiercely fighting against the ghost soldiers and gods, was like a bubble hitting a reef, and immediately shattered and disappeared into the air, revealing two magnificent figures shrouded in divine light with their eyes wide open in anger.

Before they could react, the air currents parted, and a thin black shadow fell, which looked like a wooden stick no more than twenty or thirty centimeters long.

"Under current federal law, the dissemination of unapproved idols is prohibited... By law, bring them to justice!"

The two seemingly mismatched sentences, when put together, sound slightly comical, but they produce an unexpectedly wonderful effect.

As soon as the words were spoken, the golden-red ink flowed like ink, quickly outlining a vivid character "令" on the wooden stick. The strokes, with their turns and twists, resembled swords, their sharpness fully revealed.

The ancient Legalist school's great supernatural power of speaking the will of Heaven, combined with the spell of words from the modern magic system, worked together to instantly dispel the solemn divine light shield, and the last line of defense protecting them was also forcibly dispelled.

Even though it was attacked by a combined force, the status of the immortal was still intact. The divine power shone brightly and dimly, only for a short moment before it rose again to make up for the flaws.

But in that fleeting moment, a blinding golden light suddenly came into view, like a huge blade supporting the sky and the earth, piercing through the clouds and slashing straight down!

In an instant, chaos ensued.

The thunderous sonic boom subsided for a few seconds before arriving in tandem with a powerful, aged roar.

"...I beseech the Holy Emperor Guan to descend upon me, and divine soldiers to act swiftly as commanded!"

rustling... crunching... crackling...

First came the faint sound of silkworms devouring mulberry leaves, then it turned into the sensation of shattering glass, followed by a sharp, piercing wail that went berserk.

"A bunch of lowly mortals, how dare you, uh!"

The disheveled figure twisted in the golden light, as if being roughly grasped and kneaded by an invisible giant hand. The wailing gradually subsided, replaced by painful gasps.

Just when the situation seemed to be settled, the surrounding air suddenly froze, and an unprecedented sense of oppression surged forth.

The figure that was struggling in the golden light suddenly blurred, and eight soft-bodied tentacles as thick as giant pillars suddenly shot out and danced wildly, breaking free of their restraints and trying to escape into the sky!

However, the next moment, a giant phantom, a hundred meters tall, appeared out of thin air. With a wave of its armored arms, the dragon-patterned crescent blade drew out a brilliant light, and the golden blade energy, like an insurmountable chasm, instantly enveloped all eight tentacles.

The forces, as if tearing apart space itself, collided with each other. Amidst the terrifying air explosions, azure flesh and blood poured down like a torrential rain, transforming into a continuous mist of light before even hitting the ground, within which came the mournful cries of countless whales and dolphins.

Amidst a muffled cough, a human figure formed from solidified waves and a square mirror with faint cracks flew out in a disheveled state, completely losing their composure and appearing flustered.

"The Daughter of the Ocean, the Guardian of the Island, Princess Calypso is an old acquaintance."

The golden magnetic needle spun endlessly on the divination plate, connecting the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches, harmonizing the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams, and sealing off the four directions. Lai Hengli descended gracefully, holding the ritual implement.

"But this prince's identity has been kept very well hidden, Mirequin... the Mirror?"

He pondered for a moment, then suddenly sneered.

"So she's the Mirror Queen from the Grimm family records, the sorcerer in dark fairy tales... No wonder she's so adept at playing the trick of deception."

In response to his questioning, the square mirror simply remained silent, seemingly with no intention of engaging in conversation. A sense of disorientation and confusion suddenly arose, and its sense of direction was abruptly reversed. It showed no regard for the dignity that a deity should have, and without uttering a word, it turned and fled!

"That's great! That's exactly how it should be!" Golden light tore through the sky and earth, echoing the muscular old man as he shouted and brandished his sword to meet the attack.

There was no hesitation or fear, only high excitement and joy.

Although he was also a figure from the old era, Zhou Taishan, with his upright and straightforward temperament, always scoffed at the outdated custom of so-called masters exchanging pleasantries before a fight.

Being able to face a formidable foe is more intoxicating than fine aged wine!

The overwhelming killing intent shattered any remaining hope of escape. The two ancient gods, now surrounded, showed no hesitation and instantly displayed astonishing decisiveness, launching a fierce counterattack at the same time.

The towering waves surged once more from the flat ground, no longer pursuing sheer scale, but rather a more concentrated power. Many of the wave crests were crystal clear, like ice, even shimmering with a sharp, metallic sheen.

No matter how many enemy soldiers, like ghosts and gods, risked their lives and fought bravely, it was all in vain, like ants trying to shake a tree.

Among them, an island dotted with reefs emerged, with clear springs and lush greenery. Calypso, gripping a jeweled trident, stood proudly before the magnificent marble temple.

"Ogegeia Island!" The independent sanctuary bestowed upon her by the colossus Atlas, now fully unleashed in the age of Dharma's decline, thousands of years later!

The roar was like the simultaneous beating of thousands of giant drums, and the raging waves, like loyal guards, supported the majestic island and crashed fiercely into the encirclement with the momentum to crush everything in their way!

"Get out of my way!" Her long, black hair danced like a venomous snake in the wind, and the veins on her noble and elegant face bulged; her determination was crystal clear.

"Either we both suffer heavy losses, or we'll open a way out!"

In response to her desperate charge, the tall, ancient square mirror shattered with a bang, and the mirror fragments, as dazzling as a galaxy, circled the island, emitting countless rays that added to its power!

Under such immense power capable of moving mountains and overturning seas, even the divine sword that could cleave mountains and cut off rivers paled in comparison. The golden armor, whose defensive power surpassed that of the granite city walls of the classical era, did not last even a second, and in the blink of an eye, it tore apart like the cheapest piece of paper.

Just as he was about to be seriously injured, three powerful auras arrived in time, the divination symbols changed, the Yin soldiers surged like a tide, and the ebony tokens were accompanied by powerful incantations, and the two sides were locked in a stalemate for a time.

Chapter 498 is back for you!

The pointed "ice cream" slowly tilted, and the cool, crystalline powder cascaded down like a waterfall, smashing the surrounding emerald green "vanilla cream" into pieces, revealing the distinct layers of dark "chocolate cake" underneath...

This scene, at first glance, would only make one's mouth water.

But if we remove all the metaphors and rhetoric, and witness the towering, snow-capped peaks collapsing like a collapsing building, violently merging with the fertile grasslands, the earth being brutally stripped of its heavy outer garment by the immense impact, the rock layers tragically cracking and shattering...
