American Comics: Something's Wrong with This Superhero World

Chapter 232 Lord of Hell

"Is this how you torture people? No wonder you can collect so much of the Chosen One's intense emotional power. Is this how you use charm? You're really something."

Seth was equally shocked by what he saw, his worldview being challenged. Seth had seen many extraordinary individuals or gods who cultivated the Yin-Yang Charm Dao, but this was truly the first time he had ever seen anything like it.

"You're still recording?!" Seth was even more shocked when he saw Xiao Xian take out his phone and suspend it in mid-air to record. Seth thought he had already reached his limit with the previous actions, but now it seemed that Seth had underestimated Xiao Xian. Were dimensional demons really this terrifying?

Judging from Xiao Xian's actions, he had clearly used multiple angles, including self-esteem and mental fortitude, to defeat his opponent and reap a large amount of emotional power.

This meticulous ability surprised Seth. If his underworld could extract emotional power as effectively as Xiao Xian, he felt it would significantly increase its output.

Is it going to be too much to do this, and cause the world's will to deduct points?

"I'm afraid he won't be able to handle the shock and will delete his own memory. When people encounter something they can't accept, they selectively delete their memories. I've seen this kind of thing many times."

Xiao Xian shrugged and said, "In the Hell Dimension, many souls are extremely forgetful. Some lose only a portion of their memories of being tortured; others lose a large amount of memories; still others become demented, dulled by everything; and in the most severe cases, their personality collapses, their spirituality is lost, and they become completely demented."

Generally speaking, when a soul reaches the point of becoming demented, it has truly been drained and broken. At this point, even if you ignite the other person's soul, you cannot collect any emotional power; it can only be decomposed into the world's origin.

However, only a very few people can achieve this. Only a small number of exceptionally talented executioners have ever achieved such feats. If they can achieve this, even an ordinary soul can be extracted with emotional power comparable to that of a character in the story.

Of course, this refers to the emotional power that supporting characters like Lisa Rong can provide, which is still far inferior to that of main characters like Guan Gu, Youyou, and Zeng Xiaoxian.

"You seem to have a lot of experience in this area. Let's exchange experiences sometime. Could I send a clone of myself to your hellish place to learn some management skills sometime?"

Upon hearing this, Seth understood that Xiao Xian truly understood. Such situations occasionally occurred in his underworld, but they were always accidental. Xiao Xian, however, seemed quite accustomed to them.

This guy is clearly an expert.

"Sure, sure, let's exchange ideas." Xiao Xian nodded and said, "Your method of collecting emotional power is too primitive. This is a new era, and we need to introduce advanced management methods to better improve the output of emotional power."

"The Underworld is still within this world, so we can't go too far, or we'll easily lose points with the world's will, unlike your Hell, where you can do whatever you want," Seth explained. "However, for a few high-quality souls, you can indeed do it your way."

"Who are you? The Lord of Hell?" The bearded evil spirit looked at Xiao Xian and Seth, who were exchanging experiences, with a bewildered expression. From their conversation, he seemed to have discovered something extraordinary.

"What's wrong? You don't look like it? Well~ I guess I'm just too kind to look like the Lord of Hell. Oh well, I'm just a kind-hearted person."

Xiao Xian looked at the numb-faced, bearded evil spirit and said, "Didn't your boss tell you? We're a demon god and a true god combined. Otherwise, why do you think your boss would so readily abandon the real world?"

"Kind-hearted!!" The bearded evil spirit glanced at the military-uniformed evil spirit playing happily with the dog on the ground. Was Xiao Xian kind-hearted?

However, the fact that they were planning to use the lives of people in Tokyo to threaten a Grim Reaper and a Lord of Hell made Little Mustache think that his idea was a bit too stupid.

Putting aside whether we could really bring ourselves to turn all of Tokyo into scorched earth and ruins, even if we could, so what?

No wonder Xiao Xian didn't care about their threats at all, and even seemed quite expectant. So he planned to make us do dirty work to get a lot of points deducted from the world's will, and then reap the souls himself?

"Is there a problem? I didn't just kill everyone in Japan and collect all their souls. Isn't that kind enough?" Xiao Xian asked coldly. "Or are you also eyeing the dogs below? With one more person, there are definitely more ways to play."

"No, no!" The bearded evil spirit shook his head repeatedly in fright. He was just evil, not stupid. Looking at Xiao Xian and Seth in Xiao Xian's hand, the bearded evil spirit knew that their defeat was inevitable.

Fortunately, surrender, especially unconditional surrender, is not a new thing for Japan, which has a wealth of experience in this area.

"We are willing to surrender unconditionally and cooperate with God. We only ask that God, in view of our unconditional surrender, may forgive us even slightly."

"." Xiao Xian didn't speak upon hearing this, but looked at Seth, because Xiao Xian had no intention of letting these guys go or treating them kindly. As a dimensional demon god, integrity was a very important asset, so Xiao Xian did not intend to lie to them.

After all, although these guys are disgusting, they have collected a lot of faith power and blood sacrifices from Japan. They are almost at the maximum level in the mortal world. If they deceive people, they will leave a record in this world.

If it weren't for my own experience as a cross-server expert and Seth as a GM, these twelve evil spirits would have been really difficult to deal with.

There's no way around it; those who cultivate diligently can't compete with those who have cheat codes. Choice is more important than effort. Let alone a few decades, even if these twelve evil spirits were given several hundred more years, in the best-case scenario, they would only have a tiny chance of becoming the weakest of the gods, barely managing to serve as subordinate gods to Set.

If we're going to be ambiguous, Xiao Xian could get away with it without lying to them, but he really had no interest in compromising himself when it came to these few things.

"Don't worry, as long as you do a good job, I won't treat you unfairly," Seth assured. But just because he wouldn't treat you unfairly didn't mean Xiao Xian wouldn't, and just because Xiao Xian wouldn't treat you unfairly didn't mean the gods of China wouldn't.

"Then thank you, God."

He understood Seth's unspoken meaning, but circumstances forced him to submit. The little-bearded evil spirit could only bow and say that he could only hope that Seth and Xiao Xian would be like Amelia back then. Although they initially planned to teach Japan a lesson, they ultimately decided to let it go after considering various practical interests and Japan's superb skills as a dog.
