Jackie Chan Adventures: I, the Mirror God, Master of Fear

Chapter 244 If I Become King
The bottom of the world.

This is a world where crimson and darkness intertwine, and occasionally, a shadowy creature, either an animal or an insect, will wriggle within.

This place is different from hell.

Hell is an endless void, devoid of the concepts of heaven, earth, and the four directions, and gravity; it is like a place that does not exist.

The air in the Shadow Kingdom was thick with the scent of various negative emotions.

It's like the legendary destination of all negative energy.

Ordinary people only need to enter for a period of time to be assimilated into low-intelligence shadow creatures.

Even if a living being's heart is dark enough, it can manipulate the power of shadow without any medium, and eventually fall into the shadow through the erosion of that power.

Once upon a time, Shadow was one of the two strongest planes beneath the eight great empires.

After the end of the age of gods and demons, the shadows were briefly silent, but when they revived, they almost ruled the earthly world if it weren't for the emergence of a sun god.

This powerful plane is now facing a crucial decision as its temporary supreme commander.

In the darkness, a huge head, its entire body scarlet and a meter in diameter, stood out, its dark green eyes filled with hesitation and disbelief.

The Queen is back!
He sensed the Queen!
At this crucial moment!

The Shadowlands are different from other planes; the suppression of those below them by those above is incredibly powerful.

The power of the shadows is like a pyramid.

Only the Queen is at the top.

Next up are the three Shadow Commanders.

Below that are 27 Shadow Generals.

Then came tens of millions of Shadow Soldiers.

Finally, there are the ordinary Shadow Civilians, those low-intelligence Shadow creatures.

The power structure of this pyramid is incredibly strong; those at the top can easily command those at the bottom to do anything, including death.

Therefore, the queen is high above.

As long as the Queen fully grasps power and sits on the highest throne of the Shadows.

Then there's no need to use force; just a word is enough for Tatara to die.

So, he hesitated. He had everything prepared, and as long as he unleashed the ultimate darkness, he would have a chance to covet the throne.

Once the ultimate darkness is unleashed, the entire Shadow Dimension will be revived.

He had previously seized some of the Queen's power, barring any unforeseen circumstances.

With this authority, he can reclaim the power that the previous two commanders had scattered, and take advantage of this vacuum period to be crowned king.

But...the Queen is back!
Once the ultimate darkness begins, it may trigger the Queen's complete resurgence.

At that time, it's really uncertain who will be crowned at the coronation ceremony.

The most likely scenario is that at the moment the ultimate darkness was unleashed, the Queen's authority manifested, and then the Queen beckoned.

Everything he had was taken away.

Then the Queen marked him as a traitor, stripped him of all his authority, and granted him eternal silence.

Tara's large head bobbed back and forth, her dark green eyes sometimes fierce, sometimes hesitant.

He looked up and seemed to see a sleeping girl through the shadows.

Then I saw a bearded man with a rough voice, and a woman with heavy makeup and a high-pitched voice laughing strangely.

That is the god of fear, to some extent.

These deities are of the same nature as him, and are absolutely suppressed by the authority of their kind, unable to resist the will of the supreme god.

The only difference is...

Tatara is a traitor.

For a moment, Tara felt a pang of envy for those who hadn't betrayed her, able to live a carefree life under the protection of the supreme god.

Unfortunately, once ambition takes root, it seems to be a path of no return.
Tara was still hesitating.

The passage between shadow and reality has been opened.

Tara looked up, and a badge slowly fell before his eyes.

The badge bears his image, which, according to records, represents the Shadow.
Anyone who gets a Tatara tattoo will gain a certain amount of authority over the shadows, igniting the darkness within them and causing them to fall into the shadows.

Tara paused, the hesitation in her eyes gradually dissipating. It seemed she had already been accepted as the king of the Shadow Kingdom.

Since the moment he retreated when faced with the madness of the sun god four thousand years ago, he has had no choice.

The other two Shadow Commanders are already dead.

Now, he only has one path to take.

Become king or die!

His body gradually floated up, and the image of nine masks appeared in his eyes.

He paused for a moment.

He murmured, "Great Fire Demon, Your Majesty, I, Shadow Tara, beg for your help. If I become king, the treasures of the shadows will be yours to choose from."

After waiting for a while, a flame rune appeared before my eyes.

Since that great being has agreed, it seems that I can temporarily escape the suppression of my queenly status by borrowing the power of the fire demon.

To safeguard his path to becoming king.

After a moment of silence, Tara spoke quietly: "Great Mountain Demon, I, Shadow Tara, beg for your help. If I become king, the people of Shadow will be at your disposal."

hum~
Without any hesitation, a phantom of a mountain appeared, and Bo Gang decisively agreed to the request, lending him his power.

Tara's eyes grew even more resolute. "Since things have come to this, what difference does one more make?" she declared. "Great Sky Demon, I, Shadow Tara, beg for your help. If I become king, the Shadow King, I will be at your command."

After he finished speaking, there was silence.

Three seconds later.

Tara looked disappointed. There was no response from him, or rather, Ximu was no longer the Sky Demon, and he could no longer protect him with his status.

Reflecting on the Queen's status just now.

Tara breathed a sigh of relief. He had already sold everything he could in Shadow. If this still didn't make him king, he had nothing to say. He had done his best.

So now there's nothing to hesitate about.

You didn't have a choice in the first place, did you?
Before his eyes, the scene of nine masks hanging on the wall seemed to begin to blur, blocked by a righteous aura.

However, Tara was not in a hurry.

The moment all nine masks were gathered, the Shadow Masks were no longer something that simple righteous magic could block.

Unless someone tries to single-handedly limit the full resurgence of the entire Shadow.

Even immortal gods would find it extremely difficult to overcome such a level of strength.

Tara slowly sank into the depths of the shadows, into the abyss, and found a throne she had crafted herself. On the throne, she saw a crimson shadow mask.

That is his true form.

现在
Hands and feet gradually appeared below his projection, and their shape gradually took shape.

Soon, a muscular, fairly handsome man with a white mustache on his upper lip, a tuft of white hair on his chin, and eyes that gradually turned dark, two meters tall, appeared before them.

He slowly picked up the mask from the chair.

Looking at his true form, his eyes were somewhat dazed; he had still come this far.

let's start.

"Ultimate Darkness!"

hum~
On the third night after the evil god left, the world was quiet for a day and a half, and a sense of oppression and gloom swept across the entire Blue Star.

Immediately afterwards, a strong sense of fear arose in the hearts of all intelligent beings, and then this fear quickly dissipated.

Darkness began to spread.

It's not even the night of the full moon yet, but tonight's moon is eerily round.

But the moonlight was gradually enveloped by a darkness that rose from San Francisco.

Jiejiejiejie
The strange laughter from another dimension gradually grew more excited.

The temperature of the entire world seems to be rising steadily.

But this rise is like the sweltering heat of summer, somewhat abnormal, yet people's attention is entirely focused on the darkness.

Unable to see the moonlight, seemingly stained with blood, behind the darkness, nor the cheering, vibrant fire elements.

The coronation of all three parties begins simultaneously!
