American Comics: Something's Wrong with This Superhero World

Chapter 234 Easy to talk to

Carrying the head of the Japanese leader, Xiao Xian stepped out of the barrier and saw a monk and a Taoist priest using invisibility magic to hide next to the barrier, while the surrounding area was already surrounded by tanks, machine guns, and cannons.

"How could you kill the Japanese Grand President!" The Taoist priest was surprised to see the head Xiao Xian was holding, then whispered, "Could it be that person's doing?"

"No, it was my meaning." Xiao Xian tossed the head of the Japanese Grand Commander into the middle of the army surrounding him as if throwing away trash.

"What are you doing? Never mind, this is an invisibility talisman. Let's hurry, a large number of Japanese troops have already surrounded this place." The Taoist priest hurriedly handed a talisman to Xiao Xian.

His mission was to assist Xiao Xian in his operations; if Xiao Xian died, he would be in a difficult position to explain. Xiao Xian, as a vessel for a god on earth, might be incredibly powerful, but even the strongest would be helpless against a modern mechanized force.

"No, why should I run? They're the ones who should be running. By now, the undersea fiber optic cables and satellite signals connecting Japan to overseas are all blocked, right? It's been half a day since the operation started, and if they're not blocked by now, I'm not going to shut it down if the video leaks out and affects the beliefs of other countries."

Xiao Xian slowly ascended into the air, looking down at the officer who was shouting surrender at him through a megaphone, and said calmly.

"You have ten seconds to consider. Surrender and you will not be killed."

"Fire!"

Xiao Xian was met with continuous artillery fire and gunfire.

Faced with a barrage of artillery fire and bullets, Xiao Xian calmly raised his left hand, and all the bullets and shells were blocked by an invisible wall one meter in front of him.

"It's almost time~ 3, 2, 1~"

Looking at the crowd firing at him, Xiao Xian simply smiled faintly. When the countdown ended, Xiao Xian's eyes shone brightly.

Two beams of heat, like a hot knife through butter, easily sliced ​​through the tank's fuselage, and also through the Japanese army.

They watched helplessly as all the Japanese soldiers, tanks, and artillery within a fan-shaped area were easily destroyed by the heat vision, without even having a chance to struggle. The remaining Japanese troops were terrified, and many of the more timid ones even abandoned their equipment and ran away.

"Go back! Bastards! Go back! You lot!" A senior officer fired a shot into the air, cursing the deserters, but halfway through his sentence, he saw Xiao Xian open his left hand, and waves of eerie blue light surged from a fan-shaped area toward Xiao Xian's left hand, toward Seth's mouth.

In the blue waves, the souls of soldiers who had just been killed, their faces contorted with pain and fear, were washed out by the waves and swept into Seth's terrifying mouth full of sharp teeth, where they were swallowed by Seth.

As they were swept away, these souls struggled frantically, trying to grasp anything they could, but to no avail. They could only passively follow the tide toward Xiao Xian's left hand, and were eventually swallowed up by Seth.

"My God." Swallowing hard, the senior officer put away his gun and ran. He was willing to die for his country, but to give up his soul along with it was a bit frightening.

After running only two steps, the senior officer was cut in half at the waist by two beams of heat. When he regained consciousness, he felt his soul being swept away by a surging wave and rushing toward Xiao Xian's left hand. Looking at Xiao Xian's left hand, the senior officer felt a fear like seeing a cat in the shadow of a mouse. At the same time, he knew that if he was swallowed by that thing, he would never be able to get out again.

He struggled desperately, but the high-ranking officer's efforts were futile; in the end, he could only be devoured by Seth along with the souls of the other soldiers.

After harvesting the last wave of souls, Xiao Xian glanced enviously at Seth on his left. The local Grim Reaper harvested souls with more ease than a demon god of his own dimension, and was judged by the world's will as a link in maintaining the world's cycle of life and death. Instead of losing points, he gained points.

By this time, the Japanese troops on the ground that were close by had all been eliminated by thermal vision, while those that were far away raised white flags. Some raised white shirts that they didn't know where they got them from, some brought white bed sheets, some tore off the white parts of the Japanese flags and waved them, and the most outrageous ones even raised white underwear.

Perhaps because they were frightened by what they had just seen, many people were so shaky that they couldn't stand up without holding onto something, while some even knelt on the ground because their legs gave way. The most outrageous one was the guy holding up his underwear. Judging from the state of his underwear, he must have wet himself from fright. In short, it was all very abstract.

"Lord Seth." The Taoist priest, having witnessed the scene, understood that it must be the power of Seth's special ability, the will of Seth descending. However, he had barely opened his mouth when he saw Xiao Xian's eyes and gaze as usual.

"You're still conscious?! How did you manage that?!?"

Normally speaking, let alone a main god like Seth, even if they relied on the power of their ancestor, who was only considered mid-level in the celestial realm, it would be impossible for them to maintain their own consciousness as the dominant force.

"Of course, well, as long as you have a good chat, God is actually quite easy to talk to." Xiao Xian took out a bandage from his pocket and began to wrap it around his left hand.

"Wait a minute~ Let me stay outside a little longer. I think someone might try to harm you." Seth shouted quickly upon seeing this. Today was a special day, and Seth didn't want to be locked in a dark room again. Besides, they might run into Neon, the chosen one who wanted to deal with Xiao Xian, on the way.

Normally, it's not easy to encounter a Child of Destiny. After all, Xiao Xian wants to rule, not exterminate Japan. The world's will shouldn't create a Child of Destiny to deal with Xiao Xian because of this.

But Xiao Xian is special. He has collected so many souls of the chosen ones in such a short time in this world, so Seth thinks that there is a high probability that Xiao Xian will encounter a chosen one today.

"So what if they make a move? If the Japanese gods don't intervene, everyone else is just a bunch of chickens and dogs," Xiao Xian said nonchalantly. He wasn't a regular human host who could be killed by a sneak shot.

With Xiao Xian's super regenerative recovery ability, he wouldn't be affected by a cold shot, or even a nuclear bomb at point-blank range.

"I know you can handle it, but it's easier for me to harvest souls outside," Seth explained. "It's also a hassle for you to keep wrapping yourself in bandages."

"I can collect souls too," Xiao Xian said. As the Lord of Hell and a Dimensional Demon God, Xiao Xian could collect souls, though not as easily as Seth.

"For the souls we encounter on the road, I'll increase your share by another 10% on top of what we've agreed upon," Seth said. "Considering the deductions from the World Will, this is definitely a better deal than collecting them yourself."

"In that case, it's not impossible," Xiao Xian thought for a moment and nodded.

"???" Seth was so easy to talk to. The monk and the Taoist exchanged a glance. Usually when they invited their ancestral master, the ancestral master was never this easy to talk to. He was so agreeable and even seemed to be asking for their help.
