Heroes Return

“Justin! Cooperate with me! I think only you have the ability to directly eliminate that Baffom!” Chig said to Justin, his eyes turning blue. “I can only buy you a few seconds. You have to find a way to eliminate that guy!”

"Hey hey hey hey??? I'll take care of it?"

After saying that, Qige unwrapped his bandaged arm, revealing that his entire arm had turned blue.

Qig's arm quickly transformed into a massive energy fist, which slammed towards another Baphomet.

"I didn't expect you could control this power for such a short time?" Baphomet looked at Qig's blue arm with some surprise. "Is it thanks to your teacher or yourself?"

"Of course, it's to defeat you!"

As Qige shouted, he slammed his huge fist toward Baffomi.

"Indeed, among all the children, you are the most outstanding one."

As Qige threw a punch at Baphomet, Baphomet's body suddenly turned into a shadow on the ground, and when he stood up again, he was already next to Qige.

Of course, Qig was prepared when he was attacked. In an instant, a knight's lance made of blue crystals appeared beside him and stabbed towards Baphomet.

“You’ve gotten quite strong, my son.” Baphomet stretched out a hand and easily grabbed the spear in Qig’s hand. “I’ve really discovered a lot of interesting things since I woke up this time. I never thought that the energy in your arm would be so obediently tamed one day.”

"Die! You demon!" Qig said, and two ropes formed of blue energy wrapped around Baphomet's body at the same time.

"Are you planning to use this power to corrupt me?" Baphomet said to Qig condescendingly, "But I'm afraid you yourself will be corrupted by the power going berserk before I am corrupted."

“Who said I intended to use my power to corrupt you?” Chig said with a smile.

"Ah ah ah ah ah!!!"

He had barely finished speaking when Justin's voice rang out.

"So it's this interesting kid?" Baphomet revealed a terrifying smile. The next moment, Justin's fist struck Baphomet, and the giant goat-headed demon's body collapsed in mid-air.

“You can’t escape. This place has become my testing ground. None of you will escape,” said Baphomet, the last one whose head hadn’t yet collapsed.

"You think you can run away? You're asking for it!" Obsession rushed over quickly, his chainsaw aimed directly at the goat-headed demon's head: "We're not only not running away today! We're going to fucking kill you today!"

After dealing with the goat-headed demon, everyone ran out of the sports field.

After eliminating countless shadow monsters along the way, all the survivors fled to a relatively safe temporary shelter. They breathed a sigh of relief after the entrance was closed. At this point, only a few hundred people remained in the shelter; most were under the control of Baphomet and the shadow monsters, and almost all the hero instructors from the Hero Academy had been wiped out.

"Damn it, what do we do next? Those monsters will be here soon!" Ye Daoshen said, looking at the iron gate of the shelter. "Sooner or later, those monsters will find this place!"

"Open the door, I need to go out," Qige said as he walked over.

"Are you crazy? There are monsters everywhere outside! How can you say you want to go out?" Ye Daoshen looked at Qige in shock.

“This incident was caused by my father, so I’m determined to stop him no matter what,” Chig said, clenching his fist.

"Wait! Chig, do you know how to defeat him?" Justin asked at this moment.

“Of course I know!” Qige said. “This time he activated such a large barrier, I believe there must be a powerful main body that activated it. As long as we kill that main body, we can restore communication and then call for help from the outside.”

“But it’s dangerous outside, and do you really think you can beat him with your abilities?” Harry said as he walked over.

“They also think you can’t beat that monster,” Akarin said.

“You’re right, the chances of winning are basically zero!” Tifa said. “Let’s just stay here and hide for now!”

“Even if it means death, I will go,” Qige said. “And I’m not entirely without a chance of winning. I can control the sealed power within my body for a short time. With that power, I’m not entirely without hope of defeating that demon.”

“But the hope is too slim,” Harry said. “I do know a little about the legend of Baphomet.”

“Even if the hope is slim, I must go,” Qige said. “This is a battle I must face, and the teacher also said that if we back down, who will help the victims? Someone has to stand up and fight.”

"In that case, I'll go discuss it with the others, and we can all go find the real thing together." Tifa said, heading towards the crowd.

"Don't go. There are too many people, and you'll easily get surrounded." Miyamoto Spicy Strips said, drawing his twin swords. "I'll go with you. I'll help you deal with the monsters we might encounter on the way. I can't just sit here quietly and wait to be surrounded by shadow monsters again, so I'm going to fight."

"Spicy Strips! That's too dangerous for you," Qige said. "This is my battle, I'll handle it myself!"

"What a joke! This isn't your fight, this is our fight!" Miyamoto Spicy Strips replied.

"That's right! This is our fight!" Obsession said as he walked over: "Take me with you, I want to saw that bastard in half with my own hands!"

"I'm still obsessed with you..."

"Stop talking nonsense! Let's not waste time, let's get going!"

Chapter 38

Lin Jie was sent flying a long way before finally stopping on a snow-capped mountain on the side of the island.

After Lin Jie landed in mid-air, he saw a black dot fly over and instantly arrive in front of him. The black dot was undoubtedly Captain Justice, who was throwing a powerful punch at Lin Jie.

Lin Jie raised his spiked club to meet the Justice Captain's attack, but this time he wasn't knocked away.

As the two made contact, a powerful shockwave swept outwards, revealing the bare peaks of the snow-capped mountains that had previously accumulated a large amount of snow.

The two were separated by a certain distance after a collision.

"A powerful human," Captain Justice said, looking at Lin Jie. "Does being able to withstand that attack mean you also possess what's called SS-level power?"

"What level am I exactly? I haven't really looked into it," Lin Jie said calmly. "But I think beating you up shouldn't be a problem."

“What a foolish human,” Captain Justice said to Lin Jie. “Do you really think you can defeat me? It won’t be long before you become one of my puppets. I will use one hundred percent of this man’s power to defeat you.”

As he spoke, Captain Justice's power began to increase continuously.

"This power is truly impressive. Even those demigod heroes are not much stronger than this."

As he spoke, Captain Justice's speed suddenly increased, and with a huge shockwave, he disappeared from Lin Jie's sight.

In less than a fraction of a second, Captain Justice's fist was already pressed against Lin Jie's face.

Then Captain Justice was sent flying by Lin Jie's even faster spiked club.

Feeling the pain coursing through his body, Captain Justice was sent flying backward at an even greater speed, and he couldn't help but be shocked. Just now, he hadn't even seen Lin Jie's movements clearly; this speed had surpassed that of the ancient demigod heroes.

“How interesting, human! I didn’t expect I still underestimated your power.” Green light suddenly flashed in Captain Justice’s eyes, and his body stopped in mid-air. “In that case, I’m even more interested in getting your body. I’m very curious about the source of your power.”

As he spoke, a suit of black armor engulfed in green flames suddenly appeared on Captain Justice's body. A black longsword, also blazing with green flames, appeared in his hand: "This man seems to have absolutely no idea how to use his physical strength!"

As Captain Justice spoke, he charged toward Lin Jie, slashing his longsword, which was burning with green flames, at Lin Jie.

At this moment, Lin Jie also raised the spiked club in his hand and took the Justice Captain's sword head-on.

The moment the spiked club and the longsword collided, the original snow-capped mountain peak was leveled by the aftershocks of their collision.

When Lin Jie blocked his sword strike, Captain Justice felt the immense power emanating from him. So, as soon as his sword was deflected, he swiftly swung it at Lin Jie again.

At the same time, every time the two clashed, a large amount of green flames would try to sweep towards Lin Jie.

At first, Baphomet thought that with the enhancement of this magical armor and weapons, few humans could withstand Captain Justice's continuous attacks. However, to Baphomet's utter surprise, Lin Jie not only blocked all of his continuous attacks but also handled them with considerable ease.

"Release those people you've been controlling, or I'll have to get rough with you," Lin Jie said to the Justice Captain, who was attempting to attack him.

Hearing Lin Jie's words, Captain Justice's spirits lifted. He hadn't expected that Lin Jie would still have time to speak under such continuous, intense attacks. Captain Justice himself was completely unable to utter a word at this moment.

"Since you're not going to talk, then forget it." Lin Jie said, increasing the force of his spiked club, making it difficult for the opposing captain of justice to defend himself.

After seizing an opportunity, Lin Jie swept his bat across the Justice Captain.

Captain Justice was once again sent flying backwards, but this time he wasn't seriously injured because of the protection of his black armor.

Just as Captain Justice was secretly relieved that he wasn't wearing armor, Lin Jie suddenly appeared above him as he flew backward. He swung his spiked club down at Captain Justice.

The force of that blow sent shivers down the spines of even the well-informed Baphomet.

That was no longer a normal blow; with a blow that could split mountains and shatter rocks, Captain Justice didn't even have a chance to resist or defend himself.

As the spiked club swung down, the previously stable space was actually opened up by Lin Jie's blow.

The moment the spiked club struck Captain Justice, the captain's black armor, which was engulfed in green flames, was shattered into pieces by Lin Jie's iron club, which flew out in all directions.

"Ugh!" Captain Justice spat out a mouthful of blood in mid-air and plummeted straight towards the ground. At that moment, he was thinking, "Humans, how can they possess such terrifying power! What exactly happened with that attack just now?"

With this thought in mind, Captain Justice's body fell from the sky and crashed heavily into the ground.

The surrounding space shattered when Captain Justice slammed into the ground, revealing the original appearance of the academy island. However, the next moment, the snow-capped mountain terrain on one side of the island was completely destroyed and disappeared by Captain Justice's impact.

"It's done. By the way, I didn't just smash him to death, did I?" Lin Jie looked at the vast expanse of the island below and couldn't help but say, "Speaking of which, if I sink such a large area, will I have to pay compensation later?"

"Do you still have the mind to care about such trivial matters?" Captain Justice's voice suddenly rang out.

Then, a strong, muscular man who wasn't wearing any clothes flew up from where he had disappeared from the ground and rushed towards Lin Jie at an extremely fast speed.

At this moment, Captain Justice was engulfed in a massive amount of green runes and flames. One of his arms grew to three times its original size, and the entire arm was covered in armor radiating energy burning with green flames. An immense power, enough to destroy the entire island, continuously gathered in his arm, and the power continued to rise.

"Prepare to accept the punishment of the demon god, human!" Captain Justice said, throwing a punch at Lin Jie.

A massive amount of green energy enveloped Lin Jie at that moment, soaring upwards into the sky. A destructive green beam of light, with a radius of several hundred meters, shot into the sky, turning the entire sky green.

"It's a pity to waste such excellent puppet material, but for the sake of the next plan, we have no choice but to kill you, human," Captain Justice said in a low voice.

"Stop patting yourself on the back. Is this all you're going to do?" Lin Jie's voice rang out at this moment.

"How is this possible! No human could survive being surrounded by such power!" Captain Justice said in disbelief.

"So you only threw one punch and then had no other moves?" As the energy beam dissipated, Lin Jie's figure reappeared in front of Captain Justice, and the spiked club in his hand blocked Captain Justice's punch at that moment.

"How is this possible?" Captain Justice stared at Lin Jie in shock.

"Looks like you don't have any other tricks up your sleeve," Lin Jie said to the captain of Justice, and then he slammed the spiked club in his hand down on the captain's face.

With utter shock, Captain Justice spun through the air and plummeted towards the distant desert region, where Lin Jie witnessed a scene of sand and dust swirling everywhere.

Lin Jie waited until the sandstorm subsided before walking towards the Captain of Justice.

At this moment, Captain Justice was lying in the huge pit, spread out like a starfish.

"I have to admit, you have surpassed many human heroes." Captain Justice said to Lin Jie in a sinister voice as he lay there, "Hahaha, after I slept for hundreds of years, I never imagined that humanity would defy my predictions time and time again. After seeing your so-called Hero Academy, I understand now. Perhaps the prophesied disasters did not fail to occur, but rather you humans used your own power to overcome these so-called natural calamities. Am I right?"

"You mean natural disasters? There have indeed been quite a few natural disasters in the past, but none of them were enough to destroy humanity," Lin Jie replied.

“Haha, things are getting more and more interesting,” Captain Justice said. “It seems this body is completely immobile, but our game isn’t over yet.”

"You've been beaten to a pulp by me, and you still have the mood to brag?" Lin Jie said, slinging his spiked club over his shoulder. "Next, all I need to do is find your real body and kill it, and that'll probably be the end of it."

"It's far from over, human!" Captain Justice said to Lin Jie. "I'm going to give you a choice now, and I'm very curious to see what you, as a human hero, will choose."

"What other tricks are you planning to pull?" Lin Jie frowned upon hearing his words.

Just then, a goat-headed man appeared before Lin Jie; it was none other than Baphomet. In his enormous hand, he held a beautiful silver-haired woman who was currently unconscious.

"So that's why I didn't see Xue'er. Turns out you captured her." Lin Jie looked at the Captain of Justice.
