American Comics: Something's Wrong with This Superhero World

Chapter 145 Job Change to Dimensional Lord

After sending Jill Tucker and Amanda away, Xiao Xian had the White Queen lead him to the core of Jigsaw's hidden space.

A feverish gaze broke the door lock, and Xiao Xian pushed the door open, suddenly realizing what was happening inside.

"I should have thought of that sooner."

Unlike the various mechanisms in other rooms, this room was clean and tidy, without any mechanisms or props. The only thing there was a huge jigsaw puzzle wall placed in the center of the room.

The puzzle wall is one-third full. Each piece represents one of Jigsaw's killings. Of course, not all of them are represented; there are a few strange pieces mixed in, such as the ones cut off from Xiao Xian's body.

"This wall is the core of the Jigsaw space," the White Queen said, pointing to the jigsaw puzzle wall.

"So my sins need to exceed Jigsaw's sins? Killing him before that would cause the collapse of Jigsaw Space?" Xiao Xian asked. What sins could a superhero like himself have? Well, maybe a little, but certainly not as much as Jigsaw, the serial killer.

"That's right, the good news is that Jigsaw has a heart set on redemption, so his sins aren't actually as many as they seem." The White Queen nodded and said, "You can try now to see if you can replace Jigsaw as the new master here."

"How do I do it? Just put my hand on it?" Xiao Xian looked at the jigsaw puzzle wall in front of him and had a feeling that the jigsaw puzzle wall was calling to him, and he couldn't wait to do it.

"Jigsaw has no knowledge of this in his memory," the White Queen replied. "Jigsaw's process of collecting sins has not been smooth. Hellspace and he are not very compatible. Hellspace favors evil souls, while he yearns for redemption."

"That's troublesome. I'm a good person. By the way, do you feel like this wall is calling to you?" Xiao Xian pursed his lips, thinking to himself whether he should use the influence of the Osborn Group to persuade Amelia to start a war in Africa. It seemed like he could reap a lot of benefits from evil.

"No~" The White Queen closed her eyes to sense it for a moment, then opened them and said.

"Does Hell Core think I'm evil? More evil than that serial killer Jigsaw? I'm a superhero, you know. Besides what the company assigns, I occasionally fight crime. During the New York riots, I not only killed several supervillains, but I also defeated the weirdo Pennywise and saved New York."

Xiao Xian felt the jigsaw puzzle wall calling to him in disbelief. He thought to himself, "I can't be called a good person, but I shouldn't be considered evil either, right?"

Okay, maybe he was a bit lacking in integrity, but Xiao Xian asked himself if he had committed any crimes. He had only killed people who had blood on their hands. Xiao Xian even felt that killing many of them would bring him merit.

For example, Hawkeye was Epstein's accomplice. However, Hawkeye was strictly silenced, but Xiao Xian felt that he could at least share some of the merit from Hawkeye's death.

"Or was I too harsh on Hoffman and Jigsaw?" Xiao Xian asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Hmm, doing good deeds for fame or profit shouldn't count, right? Also, if we're talking about the seven deadly sins, don't you have greed and lust?"

The White Queen thought for a moment and said meaningfully.

"Stealing someone else's wife seems to be a crime too. Besides, when Jigsaw killed someone, he was thinking of redemption; you were simply lusting after someone else's wife, or seeking revenge, and you were with several women at the same time."

"Ahem~ Thinking about it carefully, Jigsaw seems to be a good guy, while I might actually be a tiny bit more evil than him." Xiao Xian coughed twice to skip the topic and placed his hand on the puzzle wall.

Accompanied by a dazzling light, a flood of information rushed into Xiao Xian's mind, and Xiao Xian instantly understood many things.

The White Queen was right. Although this space is small, it is indeed a fragment of hell that can absorb sin to grow. When Jigsaw first opened this space by chance, it was even smaller than it is now, only the size of a basketball court.

It was only later, as Jigsaw continued to create death games and collect evil, that this space grew to the size of a football field.

However, because Jigsaw always harbors good intentions and occasionally engages in acts of redemption in the murder mystery game, even after a scumbag has completely reformed and understands the preciousness of life, Jigsaw will let him go. This behavior and mentality, which are seriously inconsistent with the core values ​​of Hell, result in Jigsaw's efficiency in refining the core being consistently low.

Of course, without Xiao Xian's interference, Jigsaw could have become the master of this space simply by collecting skin puzzle pieces step by step and accumulating his sins.

Unfortunately, there are no "what ifs" in the world. After realizing Xiao Xian's sins, his torment of Hoffman, and his shameless attempt to undermine Jigsaw, the spatial core that had not been completely refined by Jigsaw decisively chose Xiao Xian.

"So the core of hell thinks I have the innate body of a traitorous villain? They want me to stage some drama of a fallen saintess to collect sins?" Xiao Xian finished processing the information and raised an eyebrow as he looked at the space core that had transformed from a jigsaw puzzle wall into a erotic picture wall.

"I'm a superhero, and you're doing this to me in the core of Hell? Isn't that a bit inappropriate?" Looking at the images of various girls filling half of the image wall, Xiao Xian felt a little helpless. It was a matter of mutual consent, so why did it make him seem like a bad guy when it came to the core of Hell Space?

And why is his progress bar so much shorter than Jigsaw's? Xiao Xian looked at the image wall that was already half full, not knowing whether to be happy or sad. The good news was that Hell Core felt that it was very compatible with the position of Hell Lord, and that the fusion would be very easy.

The bad news is that Hell Core, a perfectly normal superhero, actually thinks he has the potential to become a demon king? Isn't that slander?

As the core of the hellish space changed, the surrounding scenery also began to change. The walls, floors, and even the ceiling began to dissipate like grains of sand, and then reformed to form a completely new structure.

The original cracks and stains on the walls have disappeared, replaced by walls decorated with exquisite textures and patterns, shimmering with gold and pink light. The floor has become smooth marble, covered with a luxurious red carpet, guiding visitors into this newly born luxurious space.

Every corner of the corridor conceals allurements to the soul and desire. A series of themed rooms are arranged along the corridor, their doors ajar, revealing soft lighting and seductive shadows through the cracks. These rooms are lavishly decorated, filled with various aphrodisiac ornaments: from silk sheets and large mirrors to exquisite toiletries, all reflecting the room's theme.

In the corners and hidden corners of this space, there are statues and murals featuring various succubi. These artworks depict succubi in various forms, some beautiful and alluring, others seductive and malevolent, as if showcasing the charm of another world to everyone who enters this space.
