Heroes Return

Seeing that Xiao Zhan had actually blocked the Force Master's frontal attack, Thirteen and Dou Dou's energy weapon attacks also appeared directly near the Force Master.

"Are you underestimating me?" Sensing the danger behind him, the Force Master coldly uttered these words before slashing at Xiao Zhan with his sword. Xiao Zhan immediately felt an indescribable pressure, and the comical shield in his hand nearly slipped from his grasp.

Then, the Force Master turned around and struck a bullet with his backhand, sending it flying. And, unfortunately for him, the bullet's trajectory was precisely towards Xiao Zhan's device.

With a loud explosion, the swaying of the comical tree also stopped.

"I succeeded!!" But this time, Xiao Zhan's voice rang out again. Just as the opponent turned to deal with Thirteen and Dou Dou's ranged attacks, Xiao Zhan finally seized the opportunity. Without saying a word, he directly kicked the Force Master in the groin.

"Are all your moves these low-level tricks?" The Force Master blocked Xiao Zhan's kick with his fist.

But the Force Master's expression changed the next second.

"The Bored Master's 'Child-Severing Kick'?" As if struck by a particularly vicious attack, the Force Master's expression instantly turned to rage. However, he unexpectedly turned and threw a punch at Xiao Zhan. Although Xiao Zhan was holding the comical shield, he was still blasted a considerable distance away, ultimately crashing into a tree. After all, Xiao Zhan's auto-play mechanism had been destroyed.

"Holy crap! You didn't even react?"

"After being shocked by your strange current in the building, I had no feeling down there. Even if you kick me now, I won't feel any pain." The Force Master said angrily to Xiao Zhan, "You'd be better off dead!"

"Damn! So you were already fooled before? You've been pretending for so long!!!" Xiao Zhan said, pulling out seven comical balls. This was Xiao Zhan's last trump card. The Seven Star Comic Balls couldn't be used within the suppressed barrier. But now that the machine had been destroyed, the Seven Star Comic Balls could be used.

"Come out, God of Comedy!!"

"Die!" Xiao Zhan shouted at the same time. The Force Master's sword also thrust towards Xiao Zhan.

DouDou appeared in front of Xiao Zhan without anyone noticing, its backpack forming a barrier that ultimately blocked Xiao Zhan and DouDou from view.

But the Force Master's longsword only paused for a moment before piercing the energy barrier. DouDou's backpack immediately started smoking and sparks flew...

Chapter 15

Facing the incoming sword strike, Thirteen fired his gun once more. This time, Thirteen produced a massive sniper rifle from who-knows-where and aimed it directly at the Force Master's longsword.

As he pulled the trigger, Thirteen was thrown several meters away by the recoil of the sniper rifle.

The energy blast struck the Force Master's longsword directly. Normally, a regular sword would have been blasted into molten metal, but against the Force Master's sword, it merely deflected its trajectory slightly.

However, it was precisely this slight deviation that allowed Xiao Zhan and Dou Dou to escape the danger of being stabbed by this sword.

"Come forth! God of Comedy!!" In response to Xiao Zhan's shout, a gigantic comet descended from the sky, carrying a sacred and inviolable power. The gigantic comet slowly enveloped the two of them.

"This is..." Looking at the enormous, comical figure in the sky, the Force Master instinctively sensed something was wrong. But his attack didn't stop. Instead, he stabbed down at Xiao Zhan with incredible speed.

The sword strike was swift and deadly. Although it naturally veered off course, he immediately withdrew his sword with incredible speed and thrust it down again. This time, he struck a comical figure…

"Huh?" Even the Force Master was taken aback as he looked at the comical figure he had just stabbed. This was the third comical figure he had captured in the past few days. Each time he thought he had the upper hand to kill Xiao Zhan, he had only managed to strike this comical man before him.

"Suppress him!" Without any unnecessary words, Xiao Zhan shouted loudly at the Huaji in the sky. At that very moment, the comical god in the sky descended.

"Hmm?" Feeling the pressure coming from above, the Force Master immediately dodged to the side at top speed.

Then he was pinned down by the falling comical creature. He had anticipated its descent, yet he was still struck squarely. Even more bizarrely, no matter how much he struggled, he couldn't break free from the giant comical creature's control.

"Great opportunity!!" Upon seeing this, Thirteen immediately aimed his sniper rifle at the Force Master's head.

"Since you have the time, why don't you eat this?" Xiao Zhan's words were a direct rebuke to Thirteen, and he kicked the huge comical tree hard. Several comical fruits were shaken off the tree.

"Have one too!" Xiao Zhan said, tossing one directly into Dou Dou's mouth. "It's clearly delicious, but why won't the authorities allow it to be sold publicly?"

As he spoke, Xiao Zhan took a bite out of one of the comical fruits. Almost instantly, Xiao Zhan's expression turned comical, and the comical shield reappeared in his hand.

Upon hearing Xiao Zhan's words, Thirteen first fired a shot at the Force Master before eating the Comical Fruit. Instantly, he felt the numbness in his arm relieved. Although his expression turned comical, he seemed to possess a unique power.

"This is."

"Humorous Fruit." Xiao Zhan said, then warily glanced at the Force Master beneath the Humorous God. He had clearly fired a shot at Thirteen, but the shot completely missed the man before him. The Force Master merely let out a loud shout, and Thirteen's energy blast was destroyed.

"Are you mocking me? Do you think something like this can defeat me? I am, after all, one of the masters of the Council of Truth!" As the Force Master spoke, a huge crack appeared beneath him. Almost simultaneously, the giant comical object above the Force Master's head was cleaved in two.

Immediately afterward, a man with a comical hairstyle appeared in front of Xiao Zhan and Thirteen. This man was undoubtedly the Force Master. At the same time, Xiao Zhan moved again. He charged directly towards the Force Master, and before anyone could react, Xiao Zhan leaped into the air, performing a 9.9-difficulty spin, and knelt down in front of the Force Master.

"Master, spare me! I don't want to die!!!" Xiao Zhan shouted to the Force Master.

"Damn it. You shameless bastard, I thought you were going to have a final showdown, but it turns out you just plan to beg for mercy?" Thirteen couldn't help but curse.

"Think about it carefully, this matter actually has nothing to do with me. He came to you in the first place, didn't he? So I'm not getting involved, and I can even be your lackey to help you catch that bastard Thirteen! You just need to let me go! Master! I haven't lived enough yet!!" Xiao Zhanwu shamelessly said to the Force Master, "Please, please let me go!!!"

"..." Even someone like the Force Master didn't expect Xiao Zhan to kneel down so suddenly without warning.

"Hey! You just said you wouldn't let anyone hurt your brother!" Thirteen couldn't help but curse again.

"We've played all our cards. Now, we're doing our best to save as many people as possible!" Xiao Zhan couldn't help but say again.

However, in response to Xiao Zhan's words, the Force Master calmly said, "I don't know what other tricks you have up your sleeve, but they're useless."

After saying that, the Force Master swung his longsword directly at Xiao Zhan, then made another comical gesture. Xiao Zhan, seemingly out of nowhere, appeared behind him and thrust his filthy stick at the Force Master. The Force Master reacted swiftly, almost instantly turning and striking back with his sword, once again making a comical gesture.

"..." A series of failures had thoroughly heightened the Force Master's vigilance, after all, he had already made several attempts. Although it wasn't very convenient for him to use certain special abilities within this barrier, the Force Master's pure combat ability was still extremely strong. Unfortunately, he hadn't expected to fail repeatedly today. He couldn't sense at all when Xiao Zhan had used some kind of substitute technique.

Xiao Zhan's attack came from the other side. This time it was still the stain remover stick attack. However, at this moment, the comical figure had appeared around the Force Master and grabbed his hands and feet.

"Hmph!" Master Yuanli merely snorted coldly, without any warning. All the comical figures around him were instantly blasted away. Xiao Zhan, meanwhile, was struck once again.

Of course, it was still a comical scene...

"Hey! Don't look at that! I've already tanked the monster! You two, hurry up and unleash your full damage!!" Seeing Thirteen and Dou Dou standing there dumbfounded, Xiao Zhan couldn't help but yell. Only then did the man and dog react, simultaneously attacking the Force Master.

The battle on the rooftop suddenly reached a fever pitch.

"Damn it!! Lin Jie, hurry up and get here!! This guy has almost killed all the stand-ins I prepared here!! When are you going to realize there's a problem here?!" Xiao Zhan shouted in his heart while fighting.

To deal with the enemy before him, Xiao Zhan prepared many stand-ins, but now more than half of them have been lost. The battle between the group has become fierce. Faced with this overwhelmingly powerful enemy, even Xiao Zhan can only wait for outside rescue.

……

At this moment, Lin Jie had just come out of a shop with the two sisters.

"It's been so long since I've sung so happily! It feels great!" Isabel said with a hearty laugh, pulling Lin Jie along. "Your singing is really awful."

"Isn't it normal for it to sound bad?" Lin Jie sighed helplessly. "I'm not some kind of singer."

“But if a hero sings well, they can gain even more fans!” Isabelle said again.

"Fans? What use are things to a hero? Can you even eat them?" Lin Jie just smiled nonchalantly: "I decided to be a hero not for those people to see. It's just for myself."

"Hey! This isn't a good thing to say! You'll lose followers! And if someone hears this, they'll attack you online!" Isabel couldn't help but say to Lin Jie.

"So, isn't it tiring to live under the gaze of others? Why bother with all that?" Lin Jie said nonchalantly, "So what if I lose followers? I don't have any anyway."

“That’s true. When we first became heroes, we weren’t doing it for anyone’s benefit or to gain anyone’s worship. We were just doing it for justice.” Hearing Lin Jie’s words, Isabel said with a smile, “You’re right. If we care about so much, we’ll become the second Galactic Warriors.”

As she spoke, Isabel actually hooked her arm around Lin Jie's neck: "Come on, this is a rare opportunity, have a few drinks with me."

“Um… Sister…” Looking at Isabella, Isabella didn’t know what to say.

"Hmm? What's wrong? Don't you like having a few drinks too? What's the matter? Let's go!" With that, Isabel hooked her arm around Lin Jie with one hand and her sister with the other, pulling the two of them toward a bar.

……

On the other side of the building, Xiao Zhan looked like he was about to cry. Having narrowly dodged a sword strike, he once again drew his Seven Star Comical Ball.

"You've become more frequent in your dodging, and you're also much more flustered. You're not as calm and collected as before when you get hit. I bet you've limited the number of times you can use that substitute technique on your card now, right?" The Force Master calmly said, seeing Xiao Zhan's reaction.

"Hmph! As long as this barrier exists, I can have as many substitutes as I want!" Xiao Zhan's expression remained disdainful.

But the Force Master had a smile on his lips.

Almost in the blink of an eye, he reappeared in front of Xiao Zhan. However, this time before his sword could strike, he was kicked away by a panda that suddenly appeared.

That's right, it was a panda that appeared out of nowhere.

Chapter 16

The attack, which was originally intended to target Xiao Zhan and Thirteen, was ultimately neutralized by a panda's attack. Even the Force Master was taken aback, as he had never seen a panda use a deadly scissor kick before...

That's right, it's the deadly scissor kick. Right now, this panda's paw is clamping down on the Force Master's head, and it's tightening its grip. And the Force Master is struggling to keep going.

This panda is extremely difficult to deal with! This was undoubtedly the Force Master's assessment of the panda before him. Of course, this was not the end of the story. Almost simultaneously, the heroes Xiao Zhan and his companions unleashed their fists and kicks at the Force Master, who was trapped in the panda's trap.

The scene was chaotic for a moment, but in the end, Xiao Zhan and Thirteen were kicked away by the Force Master. Meanwhile, the panda on the other side continued to fight against the Force Master.

But in the end, the Force Master still swung his sword and threw a punch at the panda that was clinging to his neck. At that very moment, the panda jumped off the Force Master and struck a pose in his honor.

Upon seeing this action, the Force Master's expression turned cold: "Ancient Eastern martial arts? How interesting!"

He casually remarked, and then adopted a fighting stance. Seeing this, the panda involuntarily took a step back, and then adopted another fighting stance.

Seeing this move, the Force Master couldn't help but break out in a few beads of sweat on his forehead, and then he actually copied the pose. The panda, on the other hand, changed its pose once again…

"Hey, where did those two strike that 'world minute' pose?" Thirteen asked Xiao Zhan with a puzzled look, while eating the funny fruit in his hand.

"Tch, what do you know! A battle between masters often ends in a split second. Whoever makes the first move is usually doomed. And judging by their constant shifting stances, they clearly lack confidence in each other's fighting style." Xiao Zhan said seriously to Thirteen, "To put it simply, they're trying to deduce each other's next move from their initial stances. That's why they keep changing their postures. It seems they're constantly shifting positions, but only those who understand martial arts will realize that their fierce clash has already begun. It's not a physical confrontation, but a clash of techniques and mental fortitude. Didn't you see they're both sweating profusely?"

"Holy crap! You can even understand this?" Hearing Xiao Zhan's words, Thirteen couldn't help but show a shocked expression: "Then can you see the situation going forward now? How are they fighting? Can you explain it?"

"Actually, I don't understand it either. I'm just guessing. After all, many invalid words like to use it like this." Xiao Zhan just shrugged.

"..." Hearing their words, Thirteen was speechless. At that very moment, the Force Master and the Panda clashed.

Almost instantly, the panda was sent flying.

"So that's all there is to it?" Feeling his fist, the Force Master shook his head helplessly. "The techniques are indeed strong, but unfortunately, pure strength and speed are still far too lacking. If this is your last trump card, then..."

The Force Master simply turned to Xiao Zhan and spoke, but the next second his gaze fell upon Xiao Zhan and the others. After so much time, he had figured it out; without a doubt, the panda was one of Xiao Zhan's trump cards. From the start of the battle until now, things had become strange. The Force Master had tried to kill Xiao Zhan almost countless times, but each time he failed. Despite possessing unimaginable power, he couldn't even use it against Xiao Zhan.

This isn't just about the bizarre, comical barrier in Xiao Zhan's hand. It's important to understand that many magical spells have their rules completely altered within a comical barrier. And Xiao Zhan's reason for stalling is undoubtedly for some other purpose.

Unfortunately, before he could finish speaking, another massive absurdity descended from the sky. And once again, this powerful member of the Council of Truth was crushed beneath the immense absurdity.

"This is... the aura of a god!" Sensing the unfamiliar aura emanating from the enormous comical figure, the Force Master's face finally revealed a shocked expression: "Damn it! Do you know what these things you've created represent? You, a mortal! Without any divine mandate, you actually attempted to dabble in the greatest taboo in the world, the taboo that mortals should never even dream of!! You will die, and you will die a horrible death! Because your research, for mortals, no matter how strong, is ultimately impossible to succeed!!"

"What are you talking about? I don't understand at all." Xiao Zhan was constantly adjusting some of his machines at this moment: "I did have grand goals. But some bastard ruined them. And ruined them very thoroughly. So thoroughly that it takes me a long time to prepare the energy to deal with someone like you."

When Xiao Zhan spoke, he completely abandoned any of his usual goofy expressions. Instead, he displayed a cold indifference, as if devoid of any emotion. Even Thirteen couldn't help but show a look of horror when he saw Xiao Zhan's expression. After all, he had never seen Xiao Zhan speak so seriously before.

Keep in mind that these three people have experienced life-or-death crises.

"Do you know? With your power, you could have completely destroyed everything," Xiao Zhan said. "You could have easily destroyed them and my building from a great distance in a devastating way. But your pride robbed you of that, and instead chose to enter the building, and only after talking to us did you step forward to fight us fair and square. Although it may sound a bit much, your sense of honor and your pride did me a great favor this time. I'm sorry, but I've never been the type to fight people fair and square."

"Do you know what you just said? Hahahaha! Your fate is sealed, Xiao Zhan! You will die in the most miserable way in the world." The Force Master, suppressed beneath the giant comical figure, calmly said, "A thousand years ago, someone did the same thing as you. I originally thought that creating a god only happened once! I never imagined that after so many years, I would see it happen a second time."

"Creating a god?" Even Xiao Zhan was taken aback upon hearing the other party's words.

"Do you really think this thing you created is something? Just a product of an emoji?" The Force Master said calmly, "I was wondering about this before, but now I finally understand. They can freely modify the rules of a domain, unaffected by any rules. They can modify the very essence of this world! They can even completely change this world! Beneath your comical exterior, you're trying to create a god! Someone who can change the world!! I never imagined a young person like you could possess such a terrifying mind! Didn't you notice in some of your comical moments that it belongs to the will of divinity?!"
