American Comics: Something's Wrong with This Superhero World

Chapter 151 Successful Job Change

Using the core of Hell, Xiao Xian brought over a group of well-known prisoners and then assigned them to different rooms based on their deeds.

After bringing in all the people on the first list given to him by Black Widow, Xiao Xian discovered that both South Korea and Japan, though small places, were rife with problems and involved many people.

Before, Xiao Xian brought the couple in with So-won. Later, at the furnace, Xiao Xian brought a whole bunch of people, filling two rooms. There were also all sorts of bizarre churches behind it. In short, there were a lot of people.

It's one thing to have a lot of people, but the key issue is that, apart from the main culprit in the case, most of the others, even if Xiao Xian had people use spiked clubs, the profits he could extract from them wouldn't be enough to cover the cost of recruiting them in seven or eight years. This is mainly because many of them didn't commit crimes related to color, making the cost of recruiting them much higher than normal.

For example, the South Korean official who protected the criminals in the Silenced case should actually be associated with the Hell of Greed, not the Realm of Color, but Xiao Xian disliked him and spent a little more money to bring him over.

Fortunately, the Hell Space has an automatic soul absorption mechanism. After discovering that they were inferior generators, Xiao Xian chose to kill them directly and recycle their souls. Although this was a loss in the long run, it helped Xiao Xian recover his costs in the short term and even make a small profit from sin.

Unlocking the door, Xiao Xian entered a room on the basement floor filled with various instruments of torture. He handed a list of people whose earnings hadn't met his demands to a group of gang members recruited from the prison, and addressed them...

"End their lives in the cruelest and most painful way you can think of, creating as much evil as possible. One week later, the person with the worst performance among you will also appear on this list, and the person with the best performance can choose a female prisoner to spend the night with."

"Yes, sir!" The group pulled into the hellish space by Xiao Xian exchanged glances, their guard up and a sense of unease growing. One of the burly black men raised his hand and asked, "Can male prisoners do it?"

"It doesn't matter, any prisoners on the underground level will do. If you like, you can even use a spiked club." Xiao Xian shrugged. Those pulled into the underground level were all prisoners whom Xiao Xian considered to be deserving of death. Their only purpose here was to commit crimes, and Xiao Xian didn't care about their human rights at all.

A qualified Sin Battery should have a strong sense of self-management, since it is completely indifferent to the rate of loss. Therefore, after Xiao Xian built a simple self-management system that was many times stricter than the Qin Dynasty Law, Xiao Xian returned to the core of the space.

Since the area is small and there are few people, Xiao Xian has only developed a relatively simple management system. When the area becomes larger, Xiao Xian plans to divide the underground space of Hell into many sections, with each section being managed by the King of Sinful Scrolls who emerged from the internal struggle. The worst performers each month will be listed.

The main reason for doing this was that Xiao Xian was kind-hearted and couldn't think of many ways to torture people, so he made full use of the subjective initiative of these villains. As for what kind of insane methods these villains could come up with, that was none of Xiao Xian's business. In any case, Xiao Xian was only responsible for collecting the power of evil.

"Hmph~ I guess you could call this an act of punishing evil and upholding justice, a heroic deed, right?"

With this thought in mind, Xiao Xian pushed open the last door of the space core and saw that the picture, which originally only occupied half of the space, was now almost full, just a little bit away from filling the entire wall. This also meant that Xiao Xian was about to refine the core.

"What?" Xiao Xian stroked his chin, feeling a surge of intense familiarity and joy emanating from the core of hell, and was stunned. "Me, such a kind person, and you say I'm suited to be the Demon King? Is that reasonable?"

I may have indeed gathered a large number of heinous and evil souls that fit the core preferences of Hell, but my purpose was to eliminate evil, punish the wicked, and collect sins; it was really just a side effect.

While Xiao Xian was stunned, another image of a pyramid appeared on the core wall of Hell, depicting countless criminals torturing each other. The criminals at the bottom could only be tortured, while the criminals in the middle were being tortured by the criminals above them and also torturing the criminals below them. In the pyramid, except for one person at the top who looked pleased, every other criminal was being tortured to the point of being unrecognizable and in excruciating pain.

The person at the top of the tower, wearing a crown, was none other than Xiao Xian.

With the appearance of the pyramid image, Xiao Xian also felt that his connection with the dimensional space was very different from before. Even without relying on the spatial core, Xiao Xian could sense the size of the hell space and every place in it at any time.

More importantly, Xiao Xian felt omnipotent at this moment. He sensed that he could appear anywhere in the Hell Space at will and change everything there. He could turn fire into water, revive lifeless corpses, turn stone into gold, and even reverse time. As long as Xiao Xian wanted to, there was nothing he couldn't do here. He was the true master of this dimensional space.

At this moment, Xiao Xian finally understood why the dimensional demons were called demons. This was indeed a power that only gods could possess. Even if it could only exist in this space, it was still incredibly overpowered. Even Superman in his normal state might not be a match for Xiao Xian. As for the Ancient One, considering that Dormammu had a dark dimension comparable to the universe and was still exploited by the Ancient One, Xiao Xian, whose current dimensional space was only the size of a football field, should not be too arrogant.

Of course, it's not without its limitations. Just like bringing people into the hellish space, these things come at a cost. They consume the world's essence. The more you change things, the more you violate the normal laws, and the more you consume.

The origin of the world can be strengthened by absorbing sins, evil souls, corrupting forces, and so on. Perhaps because it is a hellish space, it is mostly negative.

Currently, Xiao Xian's dimensional space is just starting out, and it can't be said that the world's origin is abundant; it's practically nonexistent. It's only thanks to the parties Xiao Xian hosted before and the constant power generation by the criminals in the underground space that they've managed to accumulate some resources.

After fully refining the spatial core, Xiao Xian could also change the logic of the dimensional space's operation. For example, for special souls, Xiao Xian could have the Hell Space convert them into soul coins or imprison them, so they wouldn't have to absorb them on their own.

The creation, use, and related knowledge of Soul Coins are like instincts inherent in the Hellish space, much like how humans are born knowing how to breathe. Each Soul Coin represents a soul, and different souls have different values. For example, Peter Parker's soul is more valuable than the soul of the old lady selling donuts downstairs.

According to the knowledge of the Hell dimension, Soul Coins are the hard currency of the negative dimension.

Although they are called Soul Coins, they don't necessarily have to be coins. Depending on your preference, you can also shape them into banknotes, playing cards, seashells, portraits, or even sets. The main point is to do whatever you want with them.

However, most Soul Coins usually appear in the form of coins, for no particular reason. This is the default Soul Coin style in Hell Space, and it is naturally common in the original skin.
