Chinese animation: Starting with Bad Guys

The tone contained a deep-seated reverence for the absolute strongman that had not been eroded even after 100,000 years, and absolute loyalty to the king who had rescued him from endless enslavement and given him his current power and status.

Qin Chuan's gaze lingered on the Whale Shark King for a moment, then he shook his head slightly, his tone calm but tinged with disappointment:

"Ten thousand years have passed, and your progress has been minimal."

The whale shark king's massive body trembled slightly, and its head drooped even lower:

"Your subordinate is foolish and ignorant; please enlighten me, King of the Underworld."

“That little girl Long Ying has surpassed you in strength. Although Ye Lingyun’s strength has not improved much, he is determined to build the Cloud Bat Legion through array formations. His ambition is commendable and understandable.”

Qin Chuan spoke calmly, but his voice was like an ice pick, piercing the heart of the whale shark king:

"And you, with the advantage of the third parallel universe, can draw on the core energy of Earth to restore yourself at any time, and you also have the power of the Black Sea Abyss that I bestowed upon you back then... Relying too much on these external forces is like walking with crutches, which hinders your true exploration and tempering of your own potential. This is the root cause of your stagnation for 100,000 years."

These words were like a thunderclap, exploding in the whale shark king's mind.

He had always had a vague feeling that he had hit a bottleneck, that his alien energy growth was stagnant, but he could never find the root of the problem, as if looking at flowers through a fog.

At this moment, Qin Chuan's words enlightened him, and he suddenly understood. Cold sweat poured down his back, instantly soaking it.

"Your subordinate... understands! Thank you for your guidance, Hades!"

Meanwhile, Huo Linfei and Miao Tiaojun, who were standing to the side, caught the key information that "their strength is already above yours," and their eyes lit up as if they had seen a faint ray of dawn in the endless darkness!

Did you hear that?

Huo Linfei abruptly lowered his voice, barely able to contain his excitement, and whispered to Miao Tiaojun and Tai Lei, who had just joined and was still wavering in his beliefs:

"He's the weakest of the four protectors! Now we have Tai Lei joining us, four of us! And he's not as strong as Long Ying. With that, victory is practically in our grasp! Finally... finally we don't have to take any more beatings!"

His face showed an expectant expression that seemed to say, "Finally, it's our turn to hold our heads high," as if he could already see the dawn of victory.

Seeing Huo Linfei's naive and eager expression, as if he had victory in the bag, Qin Chuan's lips curled into a slight smile, his voice remaining calm:

“Strength and weakness are always relative. Although the Whale Shark King is the last of the Dharma Protectors, he is still an insurmountable mountain for you who have not yet grasped the true meaning of faith.”

He then instructed the Whale Shark King, his tone casual yet authoritative: "Go, have some 'fun' with them."

Whale Shark King accepted the order, abruptly turning to face the Super Beast Team. His gaze instantly shifted from respect to undisguised contempt and coldness, as if looking at ants struggling in the sand.

In his perception, the individual unique energies of Huo Linfei and others were mixed and not refined, probably similar to those of ordinary elite warriors in Ye Lingyun's Cloud Bat Legion, making it difficult for him to have any real interest in fighting.

However, the will of Hades is paramount.

Huo Linfei's pride was thoroughly wounded by the Whale Shark King's undisguised disdain, and he shouted:

"Hey! You blue-skinned monster! Stop looking down on us! Tyree! Let's go together and show him what we're made of!"

Tai Lei barely recovered from the huge shock brought about by his master Yuan Zheng's "admission of defeat." Looking at the powerful enemy in front of him and recalling his perseverance all the way, he clenched his fists so tightly that his nails almost dug into his flesh.

He stepped forward, standing shoulder to shoulder with Huo Linfei, facing the Whale Shark King and even more so towards Qin Chuan, and declared with a resounding voice, as if reaffirming his own beliefs:

"I absolutely disagree with your approach of forcibly unifying the seven parallel universes through force and fear! Freedom and rights belong to all living beings!"

"Hahaha! Freedom? Ridiculous! Utterly ridiculous!"

Upon hearing this, the whale shark king let out a deafening laugh, its roar shaking the very sand.

"The weak are born to be ruled by the strong! This is an ironclad law of the universe! Your so-called freedom is nothing more than the strong's temporary pity and favor towards the weak, which can be taken back at any time!"

His voice suddenly turned sharp, carrying a cruel truth:

"Imagine, without supreme powerhouses like Hades and Elder Yuanzheng establishing order, presiding over the overall situation, and restraining the rules, allowing those weaklings driven by endless desires to act recklessly, vying for and killing, this universe would have long since degenerated into a bloody, chaotic, and endless hell! Where would true peace and stability come from?!"

Before Thales could even formulate a rebuttal, the hot-tempered Huo Linfei blurted out:

"No matter how chaotic and terrible it is, it's still better than submitting to the dark rule of your underworld! In our first parallel universe, Earth doesn't have any rulers who prioritize personal strength above all else; everyone lives freely and happily!"

"Oh? Is that so?" The Whale Shark King's laughter became even more sarcastic, like a venomous snake burrowing into Huo Linfei's mind. "Then ask yourself honestly, think carefully, in your place, is there really no slavery and oppression? Is everyone truly equal and free?"

Huo Linfei was suddenly stunned, and subconsciously began to recall what he had seen and heard on Earth.

Although there are no "strong" individuals on Earth with unparalleled personal martial prowess like Pluto or Snow Queen, there are powerful nations that rely on their military, economic, and technological strength!

That self-proclaimed "world police" of the United States, relying on its hegemonic status, acts arrogantly and domineeringly on the international stage, interfering in the internal affairs of other countries under the banner of freedom and provoking wars!

That country, jokingly referred to online as "the squid," has been carrying out long-term and brutal oppression, blockade, and encroachment on the people of another homeland with the backing of a superpower... And in the international community, many countries do not even have the courage to publicly condemn it, and can only remain silent or compromise!

Isn't this just another form of enslavement and rule, more covert yet more stubborn?

The strong set the rules, and the weak can only obey or be crushed!

Thinking of all this, Huo Linfei was speechless for a moment. He opened his mouth, his cheeks flushed red with excitement and frustration, but he found that he was not able to refute the Whale Shark King's words with any sense of justice.

The complexities of reality poured cold water on his pure enthusiasm.

The Whale Shark King accurately detected the wavering in Huo Linfei's mental defenses and pressed his advantage, his voice like heavy, vast waves, crashing against their already fragile foundation of belief:

"Human desires are like rolling stones from a mountain; once they start, they can never be stopped! They only roll faster and faster, destroying everything in their path, and ultimately destroying themselves! Unless these stones are imprisoned at the bottom of the mountain by a more powerful force from the beginning! Therefore, I follow Hades to completely suppress these chaotic and disorderly desires with the power of an absolute strongman and establish an eternal and stable order!"

He even spoke to the Super Beast Warriors with a hint of condescension:

"Super Beast Warriors, join the Underworld and submit to Hades! Then you will be able to stand at the top of the rules as the strong, and shape the world according to your desired 'justice'! Isn't this more meaningful and valuable than your current futile struggle like headless flies?"

Although Huo Linfei was not convinced, he felt a tightness in his chest that made him feel like he was about to explode, and he was extremely frustrated.

This whale shark king is not only incredibly strong, but also so eloquent.

They're practically trying to call black white and the dead alive!

"If I can't argue with you, then let's settle this with our fists! Let's decide right and wrong with our fists!" Huo Linfei roared, forcefully dispelling the chaotic thoughts in his mind and ending the debate that had put him at a disadvantage. "Brothers, Super Beast Armed Forces!"

"Huanlin God!"

"Dragon War God!"

"Thunder Elephant God!"

"Phoenix Feather God!"

Four dazzling beams of alien energy shot into the sky simultaneously!

Huo Linfei, Long Jian, Tai Lei, and Tian Yu simultaneously completed their Super Beast Armaments!

Giant beasts in the forms of Qilin, Azure Dragon, Thunder Elephant, and Phoenix stand proudly on the desert!

Immediately afterwards, their minds connected, and their different energies merged and resonated with an unprecedented level of tacit understanding!

"Super Beast God - Quadruple Combination!"

An even larger, more majestic, and awe-inspiring super beast god, which has fused four powerful forces, has descended upon the golden desert!

The combined power of the four individuals has already stirred up a storm, drawing everyone's attention!

However, facing this imposing combined super beast god, Whale Shark King still stood with one hand behind his back, looking calm and composed, as if what he was seeing was just an insignificant drama.

His body was enveloped in a surge of deep blue energy, and his voice was like the low growl of a deep-sea monster before it awakens.

"Stubborn to the end. Very well, then let you experience firsthand that the strong rule, and that is the eternal truth of this vast universe!"

"Super Beast Armed Forces - Whale Shark Warrior!"

The colossal whale shark war god, like a primordial beast leaping from the deep sea, rose from the ground!

The deep blue armor reflected the dazzling sunlight, exuding unparalleled power and oppression, standing in stark contrast to the four-in-one super beast god!

The shadows of the two colossal objects almost covered the entire sand dune!

A great war is about to break out!

The air was thick with the suffocating smell of gunpowder.

At this moment, Long Ying, who had been quietly by Qin Chuan's side, couldn't help but chuckle softly as she watched the Whale Shark King's posture—first lecturing, then summoning super beasts. She whispered to Qin Chuan, her voice tinged with intimacy and teasing:

"Big brother, that Whale Shark King is really influenced by you. Before taking action, he always likes to use words to undermine his opponent's belief, using psychological warfare as the best strategy."

Qin Chuan smiled slightly, his gaze still fixed on the distant standoff, and said calmly:

"How can you be a guardian of the underworld if you can't spout some witty remarks? The Whale Shark King happens to be the most eloquent of them all."

Chapter 63 Betraying Teammates

Long Ying's eyes were fixed on the fierce battle in the distance. When she saw the Super Beast God Quadruple Fusion looking somewhat disheveled under the Whale Shark War God's ferocious offensive, a trace of worry flashed across her eyes.

She spoke softly, her voice a mixture of analysis and helplessness:

"The combined super beast god is indeed powerful, but it's too naive to think that it can defeat the Whale Shark King with just that. Tianyu is probably going to suffer a bit."

Standing beside her, Qin Chuan's gaze was as calm as a deep, ancient well, directed towards the battlefield, as if everything was under his control.

Upon hearing this, he simply said, "Strength is not the only factor that determines victory or defeat; insight can often turn the tide of battle. As long as she can find the Whale Shark King's weakness, there is a possibility of turning defeat into victory."

Long Ying turned her head in surprise, her long eyelashes trembling slightly.

She and the Whale Shark King were both guardians of the underworld. Although they were not close friends, she had never heard of him having any obvious vital weaknesses.

Driven by curiosity, she instinctively moved closer to Qin Chuan, her tone tinged with a mix of coquettishness and eagerness:

"Big brother, you know, right? Tell me quickly!"

She quickly calculated in her mind that this was not only a way to satisfy her curiosity, but also an excellent opportunity to curry favor with Tianyu and get closer to him.

Qin Chuan didn't keep them in suspense and directly pointed out the key point:

"The inconspicuous breathing hole on the back of the Whale Shark God of War is the point where his energy flows and interacts with the outside world, and it is also his only vital point."

He didn't mind Long Ying passing on this information.

On the one hand, he didn't want to see Tianyu suffer too much damage in the battle; on the other hand, he also wanted to take this opportunity to make the Whale Shark King realize his own shortcomings so that he could seek a breakthrough.

Upon hearing this, a knowing glint flashed in Long Ying's eyes.

She immediately dropped her joking expression and relayed the information to Tianyu without hesitation:

"Tianyu! The Whale Shark War God's weakness is his breathing hole on his back! Find a way to attack there! Also, remember not to get into a prolonged battle with him! His alien energy attribute resonates with the Earth's environment in the third parallel universe, allowing him to absorb energy from the earth almost infinitely to restore himself!"

With Qin Chuan's tacit approval, Long Ying felt no guilt about "selling out" her teammates, revealing the whale shark king's secrets in just a few words.

The Whale Shark King, who was gathering deep blue alien energy in preparation for delivering a fatal blow to the Super Beast God, suddenly froze, his face instantly turning so gloomy it could drip water.

He glanced incredulously in Long Ying's direction, his eyes filled with shock, anger, and confusion.

Although he wasn't close to this Scorpion King, they were both in the Underworld camp and loyal to the King of the Underworld. Why would he be betrayed like this at such a crucial moment?!

Tianyu was slightly taken aback when he received this sudden telepathic message, and his heart was filled with confusion.
