American Comics: Something's Wrong with This Superhero World

Chapter 209 A World That Judges by Appearance

At the back of the plane, Nick, who had just killed his friend Myr, was bewildered by the sudden shaking of the plane and pulled Jenny to the cockpit.

Nick stared at the pilot wearing a gas mask in the cockpit, momentarily stunned. Was this guy crazy? Who flies a plane wearing a gas mask?

Jenny recognized Xiao Xian the moment she saw him. His unique temperament and unparalleled handsomeness, even when covered by a gas mask, could not hide his charm.

"Xiao Xian..." Jenny whispered, unable to resist Xiao Xian's charm.

"???" How could he recognize that? Nick was completely dumbfounded. Not to mention Nick, Xiao Xian was also a little speechless. This super charm can sometimes be quite troublesome.

"You've mistaken me for someone else," Xiao Xian said, shaking his head. He had used magic to alter his voice and wasn't afraid that Jenny would recognize him.

"?? It's definitely not Xiao Xian's voice. I'm sorry, I made a mistake." Jenny looked at Xiao Xian with great confusion. Her emotions told her that this was Xiao Xian, but her rationality told her that this was not Xiao Xian's voice.

"It's nothing." Xiao Xian shook his head, looking indifferent.

"What happened to the plane?" Nick asked bluntly, his anger rising at the thought of Xiao Xian.

"See for yourself," Xiao Xian said, pointing to the sky full of crows outside the window. Just then, a stubborn crow smashed the plane's window and cracked it.

Xiao Xian clearly sensed a trace of divine power emanating from this crow.

"Hurry up!"

Seeing this, Nick hurriedly pulled Jenny away. Jenny looked at Xiao Xian reluctantly, but was still pulled away.

The next second, countless crows smashed through the plane's windows and rushed towards the co-pilot and Xiao Xian, instantly killing the co-pilot.

However, Xiao Xian seemed to have a premonition. The instant the crows attacked, he leaped from the pilot's seat. Relying on the super agility unlocked by the fluctuations in the world's laws, he dodged the crows that were crashing into him, then put his hands together above his head and flew upwards, smashing a hole in the top of the plane as he flew out.

After crashing into the plane, Xiao Xian nimbly spun in the air, standing suspended in mid-air, calmly watching the plane below spin and plummet downwards. The plane, like a sharp arrow piercing the sky, crashed to the earth with debris and flames.

Just as the plane was about to crash to the ground, a black figure rushed out of the hole and luckily dodged the flying debris.

Then the dark figure deployed its parachute, instantly tracing a beautiful arc in the air. The swirling wind pulled at the parachute, rapidly expanding it until it suddenly opened in mid-air, like a blooming flower.

The figure that escaped was Jenny. Xiao Xian looked down at Jenny, who was slowly descending with her parachute open. His eyes flickered slightly. It seemed that although his appearance had slightly affected the relationship between Jenny and Nick, under the correction of the power of fate, Nick still gave Jenny the chance to escape with the parachute.

Jenny felt the wind rushing down from above and whistling around her ears, her gaze fixed on the ground and the plane below. Suddenly, however, her heart stirred; she felt a powerful sensation.

Moved, Jenny slowly raised her head and looked up at the sky. In the darkness, she saw a figure, suspended in mid-air like a deity, looking down upon all living beings. The silhouette was exceptionally clear in the night sky, and the figure wearing a protective mask appeared particularly mysterious and handsome in the air.

That look! That look! That feeling of being looked down upon! In an instant, Jenny felt completely conquered. Although she felt sorry and apologetic for Nick's sacrifice, Nick was no longer in her heart at this moment, and even Xiao Xian, who had appeared at her house before, had faded from her mind.

"That guy is excited?!" Xiao Xian, who was looking down at Jenny from the sky, suddenly sensed a large amount of color field power from Jenny, as well as her slightly wet pants. He was completely dumbfounded. In this life-or-death moment, what is this person doing?

If it weren't for sensing the power of the color field, Xiao Xian could have understood that Jenny was so scared that she wet her pants, but now... In short, Xiao Xian still couldn't understand why someone could see a person wearing a gas mask and reach the summit.

"This is too abstract~ But if this guy is this outrageous, he might be quite suitable for my dimension. Let's wait until the story is finished and we get the reward before making a decision."

Xiao Xian's lips twitched slightly. In a sense, this could be considered a talent.

As for whether Nick, who was in the plane crash, was alright, Xiao Xian wasn't worried. People chosen by Seth are hard to kill even if they want to. Let alone a plane crash, even if they were thrown into a sulfuric acid pool and then exposed to three pounds of arsenic, they would be fine.

In the movie, after Nick crashes and is resurrected by Nick, he doesn't even have an extra scar on his body.

But as it turned out, things developed in a way that exceeded Xiao Xian's expectations.

A simple funeral for the plane crash was held in the afternoon. The church was surrounded by flowers, draped in a pure white veil, as if in mourning for the loss of life. Familiar faces came to say goodbye, expressing their grief through weeping and prayer.

Jenny, wrapped in a black coat, silently stepped forward, carrying a bouquet of flowers. The flowers bloomed against the slightly gloomy sky, their pale beauty evoking a sense of pity. Jenny's expression was one of guilt, her heart filled with unspoken words.

In a distant corner, Xiao Xian stood quietly, staring blankly at the coffin in front of him—the one containing Nick's body. Xiao Xian could even see Nick's bewildered soul looking sadly at Jenny.

Xiao Xian hadn't expected Nick to actually be dead, and that Death God Set hadn't chosen to resurrect him. Seriously? Even the ancient Egyptian pantheon was helping out, Set, weren't you going to try and save him?

"What's going on? Could it be that the new mummy storyline in this world is different from what I remember, like in the superhero world? Is it an alien version? But the other storylines seem to fit perfectly."

Touching his chin, Xiao Xian fell into confusion. Then he thought of the destiny prediction function of the white jade book page. He had to admit that he had been too arbitrary before. The prediction function was not entirely useless.

Although the cost of consuming the soul of the Chosen One is great, it's not a complete loss as long as the mission can be completed.

Thinking this, Xiao Xian took out the white jade book page, and was surprised to find that the world's origin contained within it had increased dramatically!

"What's going on?" Xiao Xian was completely bewildered. He had just seen it before going to Egypt, and the white jade book didn't contain so many world origins back then.

"Yesterday you stole a large amount of the destiny of the Chosen Ones," the white jade book page replied.

"Yesterday? Yesterday afternoon? In Egypt?" Xiao Xian asked, looking at the white jade pages.

"That's right, it was yesterday afternoon," Bai Yushu replied.

"." It seems there's no need to consume the Chosen One's soul anymore. Xiao Xian looked in the direction of the crash site of Amanet and understood why Nick had died.

So, this ancient Egyptian princess chose Xiao Xian over Nick because he's handsome? Then, the white jade book page activated its ability to plunder destiny, stealing a large amount of Nick's destiny, causing a surge in the world's origin income. Nick no longer had as much destiny protection as before, so he gave his parachute to Jenny and died in the crash with only five protections.

As the protagonist of the Nick Wilde movie, if he had a parachute, even if there was only a one in a million chance of survival, fate would have saved him. But now that Nick has given his chance of survival to Jenny, Nick naturally dies. It's perfectly reasonable for someone to die when they are killed.

Furthermore, in the movie, Amanet says something about Nick releasing her so she chose Nick, which is all nonsense. She simply chose whoever was handsome? Are you a sucker for good looks?

In the movie, in ancient times, she liked her lover, so she chose her lover. In modern times, when she woke up, Tom Cruise was the most handsome among a group of rough soldiers, so she chose Tom Cruise. But now, Xiao Xian is more handsome than Tom Cruise, so she chose Xiao Xian?!

Is it really necessary to be so casual? Does your boss, Seth, know that you chose a dimensional demon god as his vessel?
