Heroes Return

"Please keep order! The elderly and children should leave first!" The two heroes shouted to the people present at the entrance of the escaped subway.

Many people tried to squeeze onto the escape subway, but failed. A barrier immediately blocked them all, and priority was given to the elderly and children.

"Wait! Let me up! Do you know who I am? Let me up right now!" Thomas's voice rang out at that moment, and he rushed up to the two heroes amidst their puzzled gazes.

“Sorry, the elderly and children have priority, that’s the rule,” one of the heroes said to Thomas. As he spoke, he continued to carry the elderly and children toward the escape train.

"I'm reporter Thomas! You should know who I am, right? Now, both of you, let me get on the bus first!!" Hearing their words, Thomas said coldly to the two reporters, "I shouldn't be in this danger right now! Get me on the evacuation vehicle immediately!!"

“Sorry, the rules can’t be changed,” another hero said at this moment.

"Fine! I'll remember everything you say! I'm Thomas, the editor-in-chief of this newspaper! If you two don't step aside, I guarantee I'll ruin your reputations! I know your hero names! Not very popular! But this time I'll make sure you're on the front page! I'll make you heroes that everyone hates! I'll make sure you can never be heroes again!!"

Upon hearing Thomas's words, the two heroes couldn't help but exchange a glance.

"If you know what's good for you, let me go up right now! Guarantee my safety! Otherwise, you can forget about being heroes in the future!!" Thomas said arrogantly to the two men.

He's Thomas, after all. When danger strikes, those damned heroes should naturally prioritize getting him out of there! That's how it should be! If those two don't let him escape first, he'll make sure they're utterly disgraced. He'll use every possible media attack to crush those two in front of him.

Upon hearing his words, the two heroes couldn't help but ponder for a moment.

"Stop thinking about it! Let me up here now! You two!" Seeing the two heroes still hesitating, Thomas couldn't help but arrogantly command them again.

Hearing their words, the two heroes thought for a moment, and then one of them spoke up.

“Go back to the end. You will be the last person to get on the bus.”

"Are you sure? You two will regret this!" Thomas said angrily.

“We might regret it if we actually let you on the train,” the other hero said coldly, then continued directing everyone to board. The two of them stopped ignoring Thomas's shouts. Right before Thomas's eyes, one escape train after another sped past.

"Wait!! You can't do this!" Looking at the increasingly cracked metal door, Thomas's face was filled with terror. "Let me in! I demand to leave this place immediately!!"

“Everyone wants to leave immediately!” Hearing this, one of the heroes calmly addressed Thomas. The number of people in the shelter was dwindling. As time passed, only a few dozen remained.

When the next one or two escape vehicles arrive, they will be able to fit almost everyone here.

However, just as the next escape vehicle was about to enter the garage tracks, the roof suddenly collapsed. This completely blocked the passageway behind it! In other words, no more escape vehicles would appear except for this one. Fortunately, this escape vehicle was enough to accommodate the dozens of people present.

The remaining people quickly boarded the bus.

Thomas reluctantly followed behind and walked towards the car.

As he reached the car door, he angrily said to the two heroes, "You two are in for a world of trouble this time! Believe me, you're definitely going to be in big trouble this time!"

As he spoke, he walked toward the car. But an invisible wall blocked his way.

"What are you doing?" Thomas's face once again showed anger upon seeing this!

"Sorry, this vehicle is full." A simple reply reached Thomas's ears. After saying this, the two heroes boarded the escape vehicle. And Thomas's face once again showed an expression of anger.

But the next second, the anger on Thomas's face turned into fear. A winged lion had already broken through the alloy wall and was walking towards them.

"Wait! Please! Let me up! You're heroes! You should protect us! Please! Don't leave me behind!"

As the car door closed and the lion approached, Thomas's face showed a look of horror. He began shouting incessantly at the two heroes at the door.

"Please! I can give you money! I can help you with the fame you want, I can even use my team to turn you into a super powerful force! Please, let me on board!!!"

He continued shouting and pleading for help. But this time, all he received was indifference. With Thomas's desperate cries, the tram sped away, then accelerated, reaching near-sonic speeds in a short time. It escaped, leaving only Thomas and several lions behind.

……

On the other side of the city, Fenrir appeared on a high-rise building.

“This is not something a so-called god should do.” Fenrir appeared in front of the lion with a human face.

"What an ominous aura! Monster, I never expected to hear such benevolent words from you." Upon hearing the other's words, the sphinx turned its head to look at Fenrir.

At the same time, two identical monsters appeared on either side of his body. The only difference was their heads. Although they still had the bodies of lions, one had the head of a goat, and the other had the head of an eagle.

“You shouldn’t be here, monster! Your father should have summoned you.”

"I don't care about their mess," Fenrir said coldly. "Speaking of which, this isn't something a creature revered and celebrated in legends should be doing, is it?"

"It's rather jarring to hear these words from the very person who killed Odin," the monster's head said calmly. "I'm sorry, but I have to do this. Humanity must face this catastrophe; it's an unchangeable reality."

chapter Ten

"You're making me very unhappy." Fenrir's face was already showing anger. Looking at the three creatures in front of him, a terrifying killing intent began to spread around them, and for a moment all the winged lions around them trembled inexplicably.

"You've only just recovered. Are you really going to fight for these faithless ones? As an ancient being, you should know what this means, right?" The sphinx-like monster asked Fenrir once again.

"What did the humans here do wrong?" Fenrir scoffed at the question. "They're willing to support me, and many of them worship me. At least for me, there's no more comfortable world than this, isn't there? So you'd better leave now! Otherwise, I wouldn't mind eating one more of you."

Upon hearing Fenrir's words, the monster calmly replied, "Of course I can leave. After all, this is just the beginning. Fenrir, you may be able to protect a city and a group of sinners for the time being, but you cannot protect the whole world. This time, I am not the only one who will be brought down upon the world. You will face an end even more tragic than Ragnarok."

"Sphinx, go back and tell the others! Don't underestimate humans. Humans today are completely different from those of that era." Fenrir said coldly as he watched the mountain monster fly into the sky.

He wouldn't mind fighting another so-called battle among the gods, even though this time his allies were different. But she didn't care.

Of course, Fenrir knew very well what the gods would do if they descended. First, they would destroy all existing civilizations! Erasing all human civilization's artifacts and history! They would purge the surviving humans, forcing them to build a new civilization—the so-called next age of the gods. Loki had told her this from the beginning.

But Fenrir was furious about this, because Zhejiang meant that she would once again live alone as a terrifying monster...

"Are you here to persuade me too?" Fenrir suddenly turned around, and right behind her stood a woman, or rather, half a woman, because the other half of the woman was nothing but bones.

“Sister, I’m not here to persuade you, I’m here to see you one last time. You should know that I won’t get involved in all the conflicts.” The woman simply said calmly, “Perhaps we will meet again soon, at my home.”

After the woman finished speaking, she disappeared from the spot.

"Hmph! Don't underestimate humans these days." Fenrir muttered to himself as he watched the woman disappear.

……

At this time, outside a human city, in what should have been summer, the weather was abnormal. Snow and ice covered almost the entire land, and from within the snow and ice, one after another, enormous ice giants made of ice and snow walked towards the city.

However, on the other side of them, the ground was burning continuously, and one after another, burning fire giants stood up and walked together towards the city.

Faced with this sight, the heroes in the city frowned. The World Government's army had begun a relentless bombardment of the monsters before them. But to everyone's despair, the bombardment had absolutely no effect on the giants.

"Damn it! We need reinforcements!!!" A man watching the giants approaching the city looked on with a helpless expression. Just minutes before, he had witnessed a fire giant catch a missile with one hand and swallow it whole.

"Notify all soldiers to retreat. The Hero Association has dispatched powerful heroes on their way." A voice came from the communicator.

Upon hearing this communication, almost everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Just as the army retreated to establish a defensive line, the commander's voice rang out again through the communication.

"The railgun is fully charged. Detailed coordinates provided."

"I understand!!" Upon hearing this voice, the on-site commander couldn't help but show an excited expression.

In a village sometime outside the city, two men stood calmly before you.

“Would you mind showing me the sword of victory in your hand, Torchbearer King?!” A man who was striking something vertically said calmly to another man, “I’m glad you’re willing to agree to our conditions, after all, you used to hate the gods so much.”

"This is all for our own benefit," the man said calmly. "Aside from those dwarves, you are undoubtedly the most skilled craftsman I have ever seen."

"Thank you for the compliment," the man said, and both of them involuntarily looked up at the sky. Just then, a massive energy shockwave descended from the heavens, crashing down into the distance. The enormous explosion nearly blinded most people, but to the two men before them, it meant nothing.

"Humans have actually created such terrifying weapons of war? I really want to see just how advanced mortal technology has become." The man, who was hammering something, spoke calmly.

“I don’t find this funny at all.” The other man with the sword, however, was far from calm. “This is not funny to me. My army is under attack.”

Just as he said, with the blast of energy, a large number of giants were instantly engulfed by the energy impact.

But the next moment, many more giants continued to charge towards the city.

"Although I don't know what benefits the Truth Council has given you, I can guarantee that your army should not be lost here." As he spoke, the man picked up a red-hot iron block from the furnace with his bare hands and threw it into the air without hesitation.

Almost instantly, the second energy blast descended from the sky. But this time, the blast didn't land. A massive iron block suddenly appeared in the sky, blocking the energy blast and ultimately deflecting most of the railgun's attack.

……

On the outskirts of the city, a shop owner was watching the scene outside his window. At that moment, his face turned almost green.

Right before him, massive shockwaves were erupting, and countless giants were charging toward the city.

"Sir, let's hurry and find refuge!" the version said with difficulty to a customer sitting in the shop.

"Don't worry, boss." The man just smiled at the boss and said, "Make me another bowl of spicy hot pot, and remember to add extra glass noodles."

As soon as he finished speaking, a huge spiked club appeared in front of the boss.

"Damn it, can't a person get some rest?! Causing trouble so late at night." Lin Jie checked the time, his face showing displeasure. After giving the boss a few instructions, he walked towards the door under the boss's look of utter disbelief.

He caught an incoming mech and placed it safely on the ground. Lin Jie then walked straight ahead.

Just then, a giant charged into the city. His thirst for blood was burning fiercely, but this time, instead of a carnage, he was met with a spiked club.

With a casual flick of his wrist, Lin Jie sent an ice giant flying with his spiked club. Without pausing, Lin Jie charged towards the other giants.

As Lin Jie rushed out, a pair of twin girls appeared in the giant horde in the distance.

Countless strange block barriers appeared, trapping the giants in the center and beginning to compress them. Meanwhile, numerous energy walls continuously blocked the giants' attack routes.

The twin girls are Isabella and Isabelle, a brother and sister.

As for Lin Jie, he had already charged into the monsters alone. While the army and the crowd were retreating, Lin Jie was heading in the opposite direction.

"Whoever it is, disturbing my wonderful nightlife, they're all going to be in trouble today." After saying that, Lin Jie's speed began to increase dramatically, and at the same time, the flow of time around him naturally slowed down.

However, Lin Jie's spiked club did not slow down at all.

Almost in the blink of an eye, all the giants who had first rushed into the city were sent flying by Lin Jie. With a sweep of his spiked club, giants as tall as tens of meters were sent flying nearly a thousand meters away. For a moment, everyone saw a scene of giants flying all over the sky.

Seeing this scene, the shop owner's mouth dropped open. After glancing at the kitchen behind him, the shop owner finally made up his mind. He gave up the idea of ​​running away and, as Lin Jie had requested, made him another 10,000+ bowls of spicy hot pot.

However, unlike the boss's obvious excitement, in another village, the man holding the sword showed an angry expression. His body suddenly grew much larger and eventually became a huge fire giant.

"You never told me. There are such warriors in this city!!!"

"Don't get agitated, I don't know about this either." The man on the other side continued hammering, and after a while, a suit of armor appeared in front of him.

Who exactly is that human?

“A troublesome mortal, or rather, a mortal qualified to join us.”

"A mortal? You actually accept a mortal with no blood relation to you as a member of your group? That's truly laughable!"

“It’s nothing laughable, and this is something we never expected either.” The man said, and the armor beside him began to move on its own. “Before the door opens, we can’t influence this world too much. So this time we can only rely on you. Don’t disappoint me if you still want those things. This armor was forged with my divine power; it can help you fight that mortal. All you need is to buy time.”

"Do you think I would be defeated by a mere mortal?" Upon hearing this, the fire giant's face contorted with rage.

"You can't defeat that mortal."

P.S.: I recommend Xue Jie's new book, "The Unruly Elf, This Demon Emperor Isn't Asking You to Serve Me." It's a very interesting book, don't miss it!
