American TV series: Starting with exploiting young Sheldon

"It's meaningless. Your soul seems to have been completely corroded, leaving you an empty shell. You don't even have the feeling of fear anymore..."

Sauron, the Dark Lord, had initially intended to have some fun with Frodo, but upon noticing the latter's condition, he instantly lost interest and even spoke with a hint of pity.

Yes, the dark figure blocking the entrance to the canyon was none other than Sauron, the Demon Lord.

After learning that his last Orc army had been wiped out by Mike and his human warriors, he changed his strategy.

He wanted to reclaim the One Ring in order to exact revenge on Mike and the human warriors.

The arrival of the person who observed the precepts perfectly filled the gap in his strength.

"Power!! What a wonderful feeling!!!"

"From this moment on, no one can resist me!"

"..."

After taking the One Ring from Frodo's neck and putting it on, the Dark Lord was surrounded by an even more powerful demonic aura.

At this moment, he had gathered the Nine Rings of Man and the One Ring, and his power instantly expanded, giving him a feeling of omnipotence.

On the other side, Frodo, who had lost the One Ring, finally "came back to life".

With a ferocious expression, it reached out to grab the Demon Lord, wanting to reclaim the Ring.

However, it was clear that all of this was in vain in front of the Demon Lord.

"I should have spared your life, but I heard you have a good relationship with the new human king. So, you can only blame your bad luck..."

The expanding power led the Demon Lord to decide to first recoup some interest from the Light faction.

The hands, now adorned with the Rings, stretched out once more, instantly lifting Frodo high into the air.

As Frodo slowly closed his fingers, just like Gollum had before, blood slowly flowed from his seven orifices.

Just as Frodo's bones were about to be crushed, eight Ringwraiths, also dressed in black robes, suddenly appeared before the Dark Lord.

"Your Majesty, the new King of Men has led his warriors to Mordor. Shall we engage them in battle?"

The eight Ringwraiths knelt on the ground and reported on the situation outside.

"Very well, very well indeed. I haven't even started looking for them, yet they're already walking right into my trap! I'll see if that King can protect the others this time!"

Driven by hatred for Mike, the Dark Lord Sauron disregarded Frodo and led the eight Ringwraiths outside.

"Lord Frodo... are you alright...?"

After the Demon Lord left, Sam, who had been hiding nearby, quickly ran out.

After avoiding the sloshing bits of flesh on the ground, they helped the barely breathing Frodo to his feet.

"The...the...the Lord of the Rings..."

Even though Frodo was already delirious, he was still muttering the One Ring.

"You almost lost your life because of that ring. Maybe we shouldn't have gotten involved in the first place..."

Seeing Frodo's pitiful state, Sam, with tears in his eyes, carried him on his back and continued to mutter, "Frodo, hang in there, I'll take you home now. And never think about the Ring again."

Ordinary people have their own wisdom for survival.

Sam never considered himself special, nor did he understand many profound principles. His desire had always been simple: for himself and his friends to be safe.

As for destroying the One Ring and maintaining peace in Middle-earth, he felt that nothing was more important than the lives of his companions.

Meanwhile, a fierce battle for annihilation was taking place on the outskirts of Mordor.

Just as Mike had estimated, there are not many orcs left in Mordor now, and most of them are old, weak, sick and disabled.

They were quickly surrounded by five thousand elite soldiers from Gondor.

With Aragorn, Gandalf, Legolas, and others leading the charge, the battle quickly turned into a one-sided massacre.

"Die!"

As soon as the Dark Lord Sauron appeared, he unleashed his dark energy, sending the dozen or so Gondor warriors in front of him flying.

For him, who now has very few subordinates to rely on, even some old, weak, sick and disabled orcs are very precious.

Naturally, we cannot stand by and watch them be wiped out by human warriors.

Then the eight Ringwraiths went to Aragorn and the others and held them back.

However, the orcs were already doomed. Even without powerful figures like Aragorn and Gandalf leading the charge, the remaining orcs were still unable to withstand the onslaught of the Gondorian soldiers.

"Demon Lord Sauron, I didn't expect you wouldn't run away beforehand this time!"

Accompanied by a mocking voice, Mike leaped up and landed opposite the Demon Lord.

Instantly, the demonic energy erupting from the Demon Lord was suppressed to some extent.

"The first two times were just because I was careless, which allowed you to gain some advantage. Today, it's still uncertain who will win or lose." Although he could feel that the pressure Mike was putting on him hadn't lessened much, how could the Demon Lord Sauron possibly back down now that things had come to this point?

After all, you can't lose face, can you?

Moreover, he has staked everything on this revenge.

It's even less likely that they'll admit defeat.

"I hope you can still be this stubborn in a moment." Mike manifested his armor of light, holy light shining in his hands, and his posture suddenly became serious.

……

Chapter 651 The Demon Lord's Doomsday

"Kill~"

Sensing the growing power emanating from Mike, the Demon Lord Sauron, unable to withstand the pressure, chose to strike first.

In an instant, the Nine Rings of Man in Sauron's hands, which represented power, honor, faith, wealth, and other strengths, burst forth with dazzling light.

Over thousands of years, the dead, once ruled by the Nine Rings of humanity, have been drawn out. They should have had faith, but now their minds have been corrupted by the Rings.

One by one, people with faces like hungry ghosts submitted to the Demon Lord.

The powerful demonic energy that gathered together occupied almost the entire Mordor, centered around the Demon Lord.

"Oh no, everyone get out of here..."

This force, composed of resentment, is several times stronger than the ghost army Mike summoned before.

Gandalf's expression changed drastically upon sensing this power, and he immediately shouted for the Gondor warriors to leave Mordor.

In just a short time, many Gondor soldiers had lost their minds to the drifting demonic energy and began to fight each other indiscriminately, without distinguishing friend from foe.

"Has some skills, but not many."

Mike, caught in the eye of the storm, naturally wouldn't stand idly by and watch human warriors hurt each other. So, he unleashed an equal amount of faith power, dispelling the demonic energy in the air.

And it seems that Sauron, the Demon Lord, has been waiting for this moment.

"die!!!"

While Mike was preoccupied with his own problems, Sauron channeled all the power gathered from the Nine Rings of Man into the One Ring.

Finally, it coalesced into a dark black spear, which pierced towards Mike's chest.

It can be said that the Demon Lord's thousands of years of planning have all come together in this one strike.

With the power to destroy everything...

But soon, the Demon Lord's expression, hidden beneath his black robe, changed from smug to shock.

The dark spear, which should have carried the power to destroy everything, broke apart into fragments inch by inch after touching Mike's light armor shield.

Throughout the entire process, even the passive defense of the Light Armor couldn't be broken.

"Is this your source of confidence? Nothing special~" Mike patted non-existent dust off his chest, his eyes filled with contempt.

The show of force was impressive, but the actual damage was even less than that of the Elf Queen's full-force attack.

To be honest, Mike was quite disappointed with the Demon Lord, who had such a prestigious title.

"How is this possible? How can you be so strong..."

Having missed his first attack, Sauron, the Demon Lord, began to question his existence, especially seeing the nonchalant expression on Mike's face, which filled him with great fear.

Judging from the Demon Lord's past habit of hiding his true identity, it is clear that he is a person who cherishes his life.

Realizing he was no match for the demon, the demon lord transformed into black mist and fled into the distance.

"Ringwraith, stop him..."

Before leaving, he didn't forget to summon the Ringwraiths to slow down Mike's progress.

"Just as I thought, it's a mouse that only knows how to run away!"

Mike chuckled and immediately summoned eight chains wrapped with golden runes, sealing off the eight Ringwraiths who came to stop him.

Then he leaped into the air and chased after Sauron in the direction he had fled.

"Unexpectedly, the source of fear that has plagued Middle-earth for so many years has been defeated so easily."

Watching the Dark Lord and Mike leave one after another, Gandalf couldn't help but sigh.

"Yes, who could have imagined that Sauron, the Demon Lord, would come to this..."

"Like a stray dog..."

"..."

With the Dark Lord and the eight Ringwraiths no longer in charge, the remaining orc forces were no longer a threat, so Aragorn and the others, now free, sighed with relief.

Beside her, Princess Éowyn, mingling in the crowd, watched the eight Ringwraiths bound by golden runes, her eyes slowly brightening.

Knowing the Ringwraiths' weaknesses, she had a bold idea in her mind.

……

"What, you're not running away?"

Meanwhile, Mike, having caught up with the Dark Tower, encountered the Demon Lord in his true form: a gigantic demonic eye burning with black flames.

The One Ring became the pupil, while the other nine Rings circled around it.

"Where there is light, there is darkness... If you spare my life... I am willing to submit... and help you rule the entire Middle-earth..."

A muffled sound rose from all directions, carrying a tremendous seductive power.

“I didn’t expect you to be a philosopher, but unfortunately, I have no interest in ruling Middle-earth.” Mike stepped forward, about to take the One Ring from the Demon Eye.

"Wait, everything is negotiable. I can give you anything you want..." The Demon Eye's pupils contracted, hiding the Supreme Ring even deeper. Then the voice continued, "Killing me will not do you any good."

It's clear that Sauron, the Demon Lord, is getting desperate.

"Is that so? Then hand over the One Ring and let me see your sincerity." Mike stared at the Eye of Deception with a half-smile.

The One Ring is Sauron's lifeline. Having witnessed Mike's power, he naturally wouldn't entrust his life to him.

“You forced me to do this!!!”

Accompanied by the Demon Lord's hysterical voice, the entire Dark Tower seemed to come alive, with the surrounding rock walls rapidly deforming and contracting, squeezing towards Mike.

Like Saruman's Wizard Tower, the Dark Tower, the stronghold of the Dark Lord Sauron, also amplifies his abilities.

Furthermore, the Demon Lord had exhausted all his magical power and wanted to perish together with Mike.

"This is starting to get interesting, but it's still a bit lacking when it comes to dealing with me."

Mike, who possesses the power of the Earth Demon, also has the ability to alter the terrain, so the Dark Tower, made of rock, cannot harm him.

With a wave of his hand, the surrounding rock walls receded like the tide.

Then, with the support of the two forces, the Dark Tower went berserk. Some of the rocks, despite the Demon Lord's overexertion of power, continued to press towards Mike, while the other part formed a protective wall around Mike.

Before long, under the stalemate of the two forces, many rocks were slowly crushed into powder.

Ultimately, amidst a deluge of dust, the entire Dark Tower collapsed from the inside out into ruins.

Taking advantage of the dust obscuring their vision, the Demon Eye, now shrunk countless times, carrying the dimmed One Ring, once again fled into the distance.

"Your will to survive is pretty strong!"

As the dust settled, Mike, with a thin, eggshell-like shield covering his face, reappeared high in the sky.

Then, in a flash, he disappeared from the spot.
