Starting with Naruto, I'll become stronger through my own efforts.

Chapter 368 The Xia Zuo Legion Has Grown Stronger

Saiyan Shazor awaits Vegeta's arrival on Earth, not only to avenge the bullying he suffered as a child, but also to obtain information about Vegeta and Nappa's spaceship.

Especially information on navigation routes and intelligence on Frieza's army.

When they escaped Planet Vegeta, the Saiyan Shazo was still very weak.

In order to save his own life and to buy himself a safe time to grow, he removed and destroyed all the navigation and communication equipment in his spaceship the moment he arrived on Earth.

The Saiyan Shazo has now fully matured, and his combat power has exceeded the 15 limit of the combat power detection equipment.

What level of combat power does this represent?

As we all know, before the Super Saiyans appeared, the strongest fighter in the Dragon Ball world was Frieza, the Ice Demon Clan.

His legion occupies the entire galaxy, and together with the legions of his father and brother, they control 70% of the known universe, making them the undisputed absolute overlords of the Seventh Universe.

The ordinary minions in Frieza's army are only slightly stronger than the planters, while the elite leaders Dodoria and Sabo have combat strengths of over 2, and the strongest members of the Ginyu Force have combat strengths between 5 and 8.

Captain Ginyu, as Frieza's strongest subordinate, has a combat power of 12.

As long as they don't encounter Frieza, whose untransformed fighting power is as high as 53, Shazo no longer takes his subordinates seriously.

Xia Zuo is already incredibly strong, and after being cooped up on Earth for so many years, he's itching to get back into space and has no time to rest. He's eager to return to the universe and take a trip among the stars.

But the universe is so vast, he needs intelligence, and even more so, the latest star charts, to ensure that he doesn't wander around like a headless fly.

Saiyan Shazor said with a smile, "I'm so anxious waiting for Prince Vegeta."

Soldier Xia Zuo seemed to have undergone another transformation; he no longer had that mechanical look, but the sense of terror was even stronger.

He explained with a laugh, "The realism of the germanium-niobium soft ceramic skin exceeds 95%, which happens to fall within the range where the 'uncanny valley' effect is strongest. It will be fine after the next technology update."

Interstellar Xia Zuo asked with concern, "How is the war between humans and dinosaurs going?"

Soldier Xia Zuo excitedly introduced, "We've been suffering fewer losses lately, and our counterattacks are increasing. The loss of Earth's mass has decreased to less than one ten-thousandth per month."

"Ever since our underwater base was moved to the Earth's core, the dinosaur people even poured the seawater back in, trying to flood our base. They really don't know how to fight."

"The most gratifying thing is that our research on the Pangu placenta has been successful. The next generation of humans can safely grow up to the age of 18, when they are old enough to undergo surgery, and can also leave behind their own genetic material."

Interstellar Xia Zuo was stunned: "What is a Pangu placenta? Humans have to undergo surgery at 18?"

Soldier Xia Zuo replied, "Pangu Placenta is a growth and nurturing chamber that can create a comfortable environment for children in a minimal space and allow them to live and receive education in a spiritual realm through brainwave holographic simulation."

"Yeah, like the human battery compartment in The Matrix."

Hokage Natsume stared in disbelief: "Isn't this the same as [Infinite Tsukuyomi] combined with [Adventure of the Divine Tree World]?"

Soldier Xia Zuo paused for a moment before replying, "It really does seem similar, but our children don't experience pure dreams in the Spirit Realm; they face all sorts of hardships. The goal is to raise strong warriors who can withstand the trials."

He paused for a moment and then said, "Regardless of gender."

The Xia Zuos all fell silent.

It must be said that the result of doing so was excellent, as it provided a large number of resilient warriors to fight the dinosaur people continuously.

Since the failure of the lunar collision tactic, the war to defend Earth has been going on for 60 years. Many brave soldiers did not fall on the battlefield, but died of old age in their beds.

Of the soldiers who joined the army at the same time as Xia Zuo, only a handful are still alive today.

Without a continuous influx of new warriors, humanity's resistance is doomed to fail.

However, this extreme training inevitably produces a large number of those who are eliminated, and the fate of those eliminated is self-evident.

Xingji Xiazuo sighed, "So that's how it is. No wonder when I had people test your tactics, they could only be executed at specific points; once they were deployed, they became a complete mess."

"So it turns out it's a difference in the quality of those who implement it."

"You are soldiers who have been trained in extremely harsh environments, while we are soldiers recruited under a system of powerful clans. There is no comparison between the two."

Hokage Natsume opened his mouth, but only managed to utter, "Humanity will prevail!"

Soldier Xia Zuo's eyes shone with unwavering determination as he declared, "Humanity will prevail!"

His spirit was so bright that the Xiazu were almost blinded by it, and even the laziest of the heroes, Xiazu, couldn't help but stir.

It roughly looks like a salted fish that has flipped over.

What? There's also a greatsword user named Xia Zuo?

Xia Zuo, one of the only two women present, didn't come to the gathering again, and nobody knew what she was up to instead of sleeping.

Finally, the Xia Zuo members calmly shared their memories and powers, and then went their separate ways.

Marvel Universe, Long Island villa in New York City.

As soon as Xia Zuo opened his eyes, he heard the soothing purring of a cat.

He looked down at Skye, who was curled up in his arms, reached out to brush aside her messy hair, admired her beautiful face for a moment, and then fell asleep to the sound of her snoring.

Taking a nap after waking up is always the most comfortable.

When the sun was high in the sky, Xia Zuo and Skye lazily got up, took an invigorating shower together, and then began to enjoy the breakfast, or rather, brunch, that the chef had carefully prepared.

As the flagship figure of the Anssa Group, Chazo didn't need to do any work; people would offer him non-voting shares and deposit dividends into his account on time.

Shazor was initially just a puppet leader put forward by Rockefeller, a target set up for the Judas financial group, who could be sacrificed at any time to gain benefits.

But as he took action several times, resolving crises such as the Iron Monger, the Hulk, and alien gods, Xia Zuo's leadership position gradually became stable, and he even gained the recognition of many wealthy people.

This is the effect of the psychology of admiring the strong.

In particular, at last year's New Year's party, Norman Osborne suddenly fell ill and collapsed in front of Shazzo.

In the midst of the chaos, Xia Zuo used magnetism to levitate Norman, and after a brief examination, he determined that he was suffering from a familial genetic disease that caused venous blood to stagnate in his extremities.

Blood stagnation naturally leads to the formation of blood clots.

This wouldn't normally be a big deal, as the human body has platelets that cause blood to clot, as well as fibrinolytic enzymes that dissolve blood clots.

Norman Osborne, however, had not had a proper rest for several days. In an effort to boost his spirits, he took psychiatric medication, which caused his heart to beat too fast. He also drank a lot of strong liquor, which caused his blood vessels to dilate.

As a result, a blood clot entered the brain before it dissolved, blocking blood vessels and causing cerebral thrombosis.

Commonly known as stroke.

Since Norman Osborne was lucky enough to encounter Shazo, he casually wiped away the blood clot, restoring Norman to consciousness.

He then gifted Norman Osborn with a [Medical Ninjutsu: Minor Ailment Extraction Technique], which enveloped Norman Osborn in a milky-white light like angelic light, instantly resolving all the problems within his body.

Although the underlying family genetic disease was not resolved, it at least extended his lifespan by a thousand years.

When the light faded, Norman Osborne had fully recovered his health, and even his wrinkles had faded considerably, leaving the assembled dignitaries stunned.

Norman Osborn, overwhelmed with emotion, immediately knelt down, embracing Shazo's feet and kissing the instep: "Mr. Shazo, you are an angel walking on earth! You saved my life!"

Xia Zuo could only say, "That's because God is still looking out for you, letting you fall ill in front of me."

From that day on, Xia Zuo's leadership suddenly became a reality.

Although he still does not hold specific power, his ideas will receive the full support of the Onsa Group, and wealthy people will rush to provide whatever he needs.

While eating, Xia Zuo and Skye talked about interesting things happening in the world.

Suddenly Skye handed the tablet to Xia Zuo: "Boss, you'll definitely be interested in this surveillance video."

Shazo took the picture and glanced at it, immediately recognizing the figure in the image wearing a stag antler helmet and holding a spirit scepter as Loki, the prince of Asgard.

With a wave of his scepter and a touch of magic, he easily swept through the entire arena, leaving those well-dressed people lying scattered and bleeding profusely.

During his rampage, Loki discovered a camera filming him and even smiled at it before continuing to defeat one human after another.

Only when Captain America descended from the sky, and Iron Man, Black Widow, and S.H.I.E.L.D. agents surrounded him, did he raise his blood-stained hands.

Loki surrendered so easily, looking so fresh and innocent.

Seeing the expressions on Tony Stark and Steve Rogers's faces, as if they'd just eaten a fly, Xia Zuo finally couldn't help but burst out laughing.

He took a screenshot, zoomed in, and showed Skye the memes of the two men eating shit: "Iron Man and Captain America's frustrated expressions are just... speechless."

Skye asked, "Who is this long-haired, green-robed monster?"

Shazor replied, "He is the son of Laufey, the Frost Giant King, the adopted son of Odin, the Allfather, and the half-brother of Thor, the God of Thunder."

"Of course, he is also the prince of Asgard, the god of trickery, intrigue and mischief."

Skye nodded: "Judging from the captain and the prodigal son's expressions, Loki truly lives up to his reputation as the god of mischief."

"Wait a minute, Loki also has the divine duty of scheming and plotting, how dare S.H.I.E.L.D. arrest him?"

Xia Zuo said with a mocking expression, "This is Nick Fury, the director of S.H.I.E.L.D. who is so confident that he is arrogant."

"No matter how much hardship he endures, it cannot change his confidence that he can control everything."

97

Skye couldn't help but laugh: "The boss is right. They haven't even dealt with Hydra within S.H.I.E.L.D. themselves, yet they dare to interfere in the affairs of the gods."

After mocking the black braised egg for a while, the two naturally changed the subject and started talking about other interesting things.

After finishing breakfast, Skye was about to get back to her supercomputer when Shazo called her back: "Skye, notify all members of Shazo's Legion to assemble."

Skye was very clever and immediately understood Shazo's meaning: "Loki will cause an even bigger crisis?"

Xia Zuo nodded: "That's for sure."

"The fact that the God of Conspiracy and Deception voluntarily allowed himself to be captured is definitely suspicious, but given Lu Dan's inexplicable confidence, he will definitely take him to his key department for imprisonment, which is basically tantamount to courting death."

Skye nodded in agreement and asked, "Boss, should we notify Mr. Rockefeller and the others?"

Xia Zuo thought for a moment and said, "Notify them to leave big cities like New York and Los Angeles, but to stay in touch at all times to avoid any danger."

"OK."

Two hours later, at the former Sixth Dock's location, at the Xiazuo Legion's base, all the Xiazuo Legion's superheroes—

Supervillain —

Fine, all the superhumans are gathered here.

Beside the enormous Abomination stood Doctor Octopus, an octopus with four mechanical arms on his back, Otto Gunther Octavius.

His nervous system was invaded by the robotic arm's central nervous system, altering his neural network and endocrine system, making him unable to control his desires and prone to violence.

When the news of this scientist reached Xia Zuo, he was also very surprised. Spider-Man in this timeline is not a spider demon, so how could there be Doctor Octopus?

But he didn't hesitate for long and directly used [Electromagnetic Control] to subdue Otto.

As an expert in electromagnetic forces, Xia Zuo easily adjusted the control of the robotic arm and solved the problems of Dr. Octopus's nerve signals and endocrine system.

After regaining his original gentle personality, Dr. Otto was very grateful to Shazo and joined Shazo's army.

Opposite Doctor Octopus was Norman Osborn, the "Black Mage," dressed in red and black armor.

Ever since being saved by Xia Zuo, this guy has become a fanatical follower of Xia Zuo, and he is absolutely always there for Xia Zuo's needs.

Because Shazo said, "Your armor is really ugly, like a Christmas tree flying in the sky."

Norman immediately changed the color of the armor to red and black, because he knew that was Shazo's favorite color combination.

Beside Norman Osborne, with traces of scales on his cheek, is Professor Lizard, Kurt Connors.

Professor Connors was once an employee of Norman. He studied lizards to solve a genetic disease in the Osborn family and accidentally developed "lizard serum" that could regenerate severed limbs.

Unfortunately, Pioneer Technology's "Extreme Virus" suddenly appeared, which can not only restore limbs within an hour, but also turn people into mini-superheroes.

Thus, the "lizard serum" was eliminated before it was fully developed, and along with Connors, it was expelled from the Osborn Group.

Like many scientists who are looked down upon, Connors continued his research on his own, eventually transforming himself into a half-human, half-lizard monster.

Then, because he caused a disturbance in New York, he was easily subdued by Xia Zuo.

Unfortunately, while Connors' physical health recovered, his brilliant mind did not, transforming him from a biological scientist into a violent beast.

The key issue is that Professor Lizard's combat strength is not strong enough; he can only serve as a security guard at the legion's base.
