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

Chapter 337 An Apocalyptic World
January 13, 1982.

The demon has reappeared, and his name is Bogang.

I went with Uncle Chen to fight the demon, and we won. This demon was weaker than I expected. Could it be that there's only one of those powerful demons?

January 25, 1982.

The third demon appeared, named Ximu.
We missed! Damn it, that guy! I almost pushed him back! I almost did!
Also, that guy's smile is awful, I've decided to do extra practice today.
[May you become a powerful warrior capable of fighting demons as soon as possible.]

January 15, 1982.

Uncle Chen fell even more silent, muttering something about the balance of yin and yang.

We've been searching for the devil, but we can't find him anywhere.

I've been having a lot of dreams lately, dreams of another world. That world, though rife with demons, filled with wailing and countless deaths, ultimately finds peace. If only that were real!

January 12, 1983, Lunar New Year's Eve.

We still haven't found the demon. Uncle Chen is working all night again, the kind of continuous work that lasts for several days in a row.

However, after reading some magic books, I think I understand why Uncle Chen is anxious.

The demon Ximu we are hunting, along with his retinue, is working with the help of the Sun Demon to restore the balance of this world, creating more demon slots.

And just now, there were more demon slots.
How many demons are there in the world now?

Demon Dragon, Shendu's soul, Ximu, and if there are more...
I still need to practice more; maybe fatigue will help me stop thinking so much.

We will definitely win!

January 14, 1983.

The fourth demon appeared: Basha.

This is a terrifying creature. She summoned the legendary Atlantis, and a huge, sealed ship appeared. Now the entire ocean is shrouded in black mist, and no one can enter it.

Fortunately, this demon doesn't seem to intend to sink the continent, perhaps because it's the territory of other demons?
But the ocean has become a forbidden zone for humans, the islands outside the mainland have been completely destroyed, and it seems that no one survived in the cherry blossoms that were originally unaffected by the Sino-Soviet conflict.
The same applies to the other islands.

There are fewer and fewer people.
Is there really any hope left in this world?

January 13, 1983.

We stepped into the ocean and witnessed a kingdom composed of vengeful spirits. Everything in Atlantis was so awe-inspiring. The endless stream of vengeful spirits made it difficult for us to move an inch. We were stopped before we even saw the sleeping Lord of Water.

By chance, I overheard some news that Atlantis seemed to be preparing for war.

An immortal god, perhaps.
We've left.

January 13, 1984.

The number of demons increased again, but the legendary orcs also appeared.

That savage will, but why are their swords pointed at us?

January 21, 1984, Lunar New Year's Eve.

The Orc King, leading millions of warriors supposedly sculpted by him personally, began his attack on our city.

The demons are still lurking, but the war between races has begun again.

It seems that not only orcs, but cat people have also appeared, becoming the fastest assassins on the battlefield.

They don't seem like bad people, so I can't bring myself to do it.

But seeing the human soldiers die, I still killed those catmen and orcs. How did this world become like this?

If I could do it all over again, I would definitely study hard and never be naughty again.

January 22, 1984.

At the moment the New Year's bell rang, the blood of the three races converged, and the seal of a demon wizard in the world was broken. That was known as Slaughter, which seemed to be drawn to the battlefield by the blood energy.

But as it absorbed the blood energy, the killing slowly transformed into a human, and the orc king seemed to be trembling.

Bai Qi, yet another name found in textbooks.

He appears to be human, but he occupies a demon's position.
He's crazy?
He slaughtered all the orcs and cat people!!! He absorbed the blood and energy of millions, including human warriors! [February 23, 1984]

The sun demon appeared, was cleaved in two, and nearly died.

He...he...he...attacked Atlantis, and...
Atlantis was brutally shattered and sank once more.
The incredibly powerful water lord was sent back to hell, and now he is searching the world for the sun demon.

Although I find his act of killing human soldiers and draining their life force utterly disgusting, I think I see a possibility that demons might finally be brought to an end!

Uncle Chen also supports Bai Qi, or rather, everyone supports him because he is human.

January 15, 1984

The sun demon had escaped to space.
The fifth demon appeared and activated a place called Lotus Temple.

A guy named Zhou Lan appeared, and the ancient Moon Palace was revived.

Bai Qi was defeated head-on, and Uncle Chen was also no match for him.

The sun and moon shine together in the sky now.

January 15, 1984.

Why are demons so powerful? The world has become even more chaotic.

The dragon has revived, the Ganges has dried up, and the Holy Lord has descended upon the world once more.

He obtained his weapon and completely ended the demonic realm, meaning that demons are now without limits.

January 16, 1984.

The demons have attacked us, but it seems they haven't completely attacked us. Tens of thousands of dragons, led by the Holy Lord, are heading straight for the Chen family's hometown.

The sun and moon both hang in the sky above Fengdu today.

Such a massive force was not there to destroy all of humanity, but to destroy a legend: the Mirror God.
I'm puzzled. Why would a demon fight another demon? Those four guys called Mirror Gods seem so weak; they could be killed by any dragon.

But the demons all came out.
Is the Mirror God truly a deity, capable of fighting against demons?

January 7, 1985.

Almost a year has passed, and the demons don't seem to be in a hurry to kill all of humanity.

I once infiltrated the palace of a holy lord, and for the second time I heard the term: immortal god!

The demons seem to be very afraid of them.

Moreover, the demons don't kill all humans because if everyone died, they would be resurrected.
So, will we be saved if we revive the gods?

January 13, 1986.

Almost everyone has become a slave, and no one can resist the dragon's rule. I'm hiding underground with my cousin and Uncle Chen. The world no longer belongs to humans.

And I heard that the demons over in Sakura have resurrected, something called Shadow, I think.
It doesn't matter anymore, things can't get any worse, can they?

January 13, 1987.

Food is dwindling, and so is the hope of fighting the demons.

At this time, my cousin also got pregnant with a child from a guy named Chen Shen.
My God, what should we do? How can a pregnant woman be accommodated in this situation?
But there's no way to get rid of it right now.
Although it was tough, we still came up with a name for our child.

If it's a boy, name him Chen Jue.

If it's a girl, name her Chen Xiaoyu.

They are all nice-sounding names, but they don't have any particular meaning.

We don't want this child to carry any burdens; she hasn't even been born yet.

April 1987.
Another demon has resurrected. If you do the math, it's been eight years since the Sun Demon was discovered.
I think I'm getting used to this world. Peace seems to only exist in dreams.

Closing the book, the 22-year-old Jackie Chan sighed and looked out through the basement ventilation shaft. There seemed to be occasional remains of severed limbs on the dilapidated city streets.

This is the end of the world.
