American Comics: Something's Wrong with This Superhero World

Chapter 228

"The game is simple. I've collected some special souls and emotional powers from mortals in this world. If you can defeat them within an hour, you win."

"Mortals? How many mortals?" Seth was very disdainful, but just to be on the safe side, Seth decided to ask anyway, in case Xiao Xian had millions of souls, Seth wouldn't be able to handle it within an hour.

"A dozen or so souls, and over eighty emotional powers, totaling a little over a hundred. How about that? It shouldn't be too difficult for you, right?" Xiao Xian said with a smile.

"Only a hundred or so?" Seth scoffed. Aside from the Chosen One, he wouldn't even consider a hundred, let alone ten thousand, the souls of other mortals. And the Chosen One wasn't so easy to find. "You said it yourself. You can't go back on your word!"

Unless it's a super-powerful figure like Ra, God, or the Heavenly Emperor, it's very difficult for others, even a god like Seth, to determine whether someone is the chosen one.

Moreover, Chosen Ones are not as common as cabbages. There might even be times when there are no Chosen Ones on Earth. Even though we are in a special era now and there are many more Chosen Ones, it is still very difficult for Seth to find one.

As for Xiao Xian, an extraterrestrial evil god who has only been here for less than a month, where is he going to find so many chosen ones? Not to mention collecting souls and emotional power.

"Don't worry, I definitely won't regret it. If you don't believe me, we can sign a contract in the name of La." Xiao Xian waved his hand and said.

"Yes! In the name of Ra!" Seth thought for a moment and agreed to Xiao Xian's suggestion. As long as Xiao Xian wanted to survive in this world, he couldn't possibly break the oath in the name of Ra.

After the two swore an oath in the name of Ra, Xiao Xian poured all the protagonist's soul and emotional power he had collected over the past few days into his left hand.

"???!!!!" Seth was stunned when he sensed the soul and emotional power that Xiao Xian had injected into his left hand. How could someone from out of town collect so many souls of the Chosen Ones in such a short time?

And what have you actually done? Why are there so many emotions here related to the "chosen one" being cheated on? Are you a bulldozer?

However, Seth did not give up so easily. Although the soul of the Chosen One was special, Seth, as an old god, was not inferior to the Chosen One.

Seth randomly picked the one that looked best and directly entered the consciousness space deep within the other's soul.

"Jenny!!!!

In his consciousness, Nick watched Jenny climb into Xiao Xian's bed and shouted in utter resentment.

"So Nick was chosen as the first one after all?" Xiao Xian thought to himself as he stroked his chin. Nick was the key to Xiao Xian's obstruction of Seth's consciousness, and for this reason, Xiao Xian made Nick's soul watch how Jenny completely fell for him.

It wasn't that Xiao Xian had a twisted sense of humor; it was mainly because in the original story, Nick single-handedly defended against Seth, and Xiao Xian had high hopes for him. But then Nick died, and Jenny fell for him, so the pure love route was no longer viable. Xiao Xian had no choice but to find another way.

An hour later, Xiao Xian withdrew his soul and emotional power, looking at his listless left hand.

"You..."

"Impossible~ Impossible! The willpower of mortals is so strong!" Seth couldn't accept the fact that he hadn't managed to deal with even a single soul, let alone all of them, in an hour.

"Well, these things are inevitable. It's normal to make mistakes. After all, you've just arrived in the real world and aren't used to it yet," Xiao Xian comforted her. After all, they would need to rely on this person's power to fight against the Japanese later, so it was best not to make things too awkward.

"Yes, that's right," Seth said awkwardly.

"I'm not only busy with things in this world, but I also often have to deal with things in other worlds, so sometimes I can't take care of everything. At those times, it's not a problem for you to control it for a while, as long as you help me manage my business and don't use my body to do anything strange."

Xiao Xian offered a sweet deal: low emotional intelligence means letting Seth take care of things for him; high emotional intelligence means using Seth's body to manipulate him.

"Strange thing? You mean matters between men and women? I'm not some guy who just became a god from a human." Seth scoffed. "In tens of thousands of years, you'll understand. This kind of thing doesn't matter at all."

"That's good." Xiao Xian shrugged, unsure whether to agree with Seth's words. If it were another dimensional demon god, it might indeed be true, but Xiao Xian was a dimensional demon god of the color field dimension space, and this was his profession.

"Let's discuss how to take over Japan," Xiao Xian suggested.

"Many factions will be involved this time. The Japanese pantheon has offended quite a few people, especially the Chinese pantheon, which has contacted us. Japan's invasion of China during the Demon Era was indeed unethical."

Seth replied, "We'll be responsible for destroying the Neon Pantheon's faith in the real world. Osiris and the others will block the entrance, and anyone who dares to come out of the divine realm will be killed on sight. As for the underworld, we'll all work together. Ordinary souls will belong to us, and the souls of war criminals will belong to China."

"After it's done, we'll get the lion's share of the faith in the real world, and the rest will be divided between God and China," Seth said. "Also, because Japan was once an appendage of the Chinese pantheon, some gods have chosen to side with us, and we'll have inside contacts contacting us."

"Is it just the two of us in the real world?" Xiao Xian asked. "Won't that be too busy? Do you still have any followers? We're not going to have to run around from village to village, are we?"

"Not many, and they're mostly ordinary people, no superhumans. But it's alright, the two of us are enough for combat. Besides, someone from China will come to help," Seth said awkwardly.

"Indeed, given the animosity between the two sides, even if there's no consensus between the pantheons, I reckon there would be people from the Chinese populace to come and help." Xiao Xian nodded upon hearing this and said, "That shrine, I've wanted to destroy it for a long time. My dimensional space is still short of people."

"The Chinese pantheon has reserved the souls in that shrine, saying they want to take them back to pay homage to the spirits of the deceased," Seth said. This was something the Chinese pantheon specifically requested.

"Really? That's good too." Xiao Xian nodded upon hearing this. That wouldn't stop him from giving these guys some special treatment before sending them over. Moreover, Xiao Xian felt that their treatment in the Chinese Underworld might not be as good as in his own dimension.

After all, Xiao Xian only disliked them, but in the underworld of China, there were countless souls killed by them.

"And what about your super charm?" Seth suggested to Xiao Xian. "You need to unleash it. How can you attract believers looking like this? If I were as handsome as you, I wouldn't have been ostracized as a foreign god. This is a unique advantage, don't waste it."

"I just managed to turn it off." Xiao Xian said helplessly. Was he still destined to use his looks to please others?
