Heroes Return

“There’s nothing worth Ivan’s attention.” Delis’s figure appeared beside Blast at that moment.

"you are?"

"Ah..." Upon hearing the question about the explosion, Dai Lisi immediately ran away: "My sister doesn't let me have contact with strangers."

"Strange girl, is she a newbie?" Without giving it much thought, Blast's figure charged towards the battlefield once again.

The battlefield had become incredibly chaotic, with the three sides engaging in a chaotic melee. At that moment, the Master of Life's hand touched the ground, and enormous stone golems rose from the earth, seemingly imbued with life. These golems began to attack their enemies with all their might.

"As expected, Ivan is a troublesome guy!" Master Xingchen sighed helplessly. "By the way, Ivan is a super criminal, right? How about we team up and take him out? After all, Ivan is an enemy to us."

"...Analysis complete, Demon Extermination Mode activated." Rose responded mechanically to Master Star's invitation.

Chapter 41

The battle has transcended its simple nature. With Ivan's arrival, the battlefield has become utterly chaotic. The three sides are locked in a deadly struggle around the Wall—a battle that will determine their future.

Unlike other superpowered individuals who charged into the battlefield, Ivan simply walked along the Great Wall, heading towards the Master of Fate atop a distant tower. This time, Ivan brought a formidable force. Not only were there the Cullen family's experts, but also many vicious superpowered criminals and controlled elements.

But what really caught people's attention was that Dave didn't follow Ivan as usual.

"Hahahaha! I'm here!" With a slightly mocking tone, Ivan revealed a terrifying smile. At the same time, several S-class heroes blocked Ivan's path.

“We can’t let you through! You’re under arrest, Evan!” a hero stepped forward and said to Evan.

"What a pity!" Faced with the opponent's threat, Ivan only said this, and then two cold hand cannons appeared behind him, and powerful energy shot towards the heroes in front of him at this moment.

The powerful members and criminals of the Karen family appeared behind Ivan, bypassing him and charging towards the enemy before him. Along the way, almost whenever someone seemed to block Ivan's path, someone else would step forward to shield him from the attacks, ensuring his continued advance.

The battle continued in the sky.

Rose's voice became crystal clear at that moment, and a special power flowed continuously through her body.

"Hey! What the hell is this thing?! I should have checked to make sure you were really dead!" Master Xingchen looked helplessly at the changes before him.

Almost simultaneously, Master Star's body instantly transformed into starlight and vanished from the spot. As he disappeared, Rose appeared before Master Star, her energy sword piercing the very spot where he had been standing.

"A simple robot is already terrifying enough, but do we have to add the legendary alien armor?" Master Xingchen's figure reappeared not far away, but this time there was a deep wound on his arm that exposed the bone.

"With a snap of his fingers, countless meteors began to hurtle toward the girl in front of him." These meteors traveled very fast, and although they were not very big, their number was astounding.

The meteors continued to fly towards Rose, but in turn, Rose's figure became blurred. Almost in the blink of an eye, Rose was once again flying towards Master Star. But all that greeted her was a snap of her fingers. With the snap, Rose was sent flying backward. Almost instantly, countless meteors attacked Rose.

The lightsaber's light streaked across the sky, leaving massive trails, and the meteorite that was about to hit Rose was completely severed by these attacks.

Of course, the meteorite attack wasn't over, because right above everyone's heads, a massive meteorite, far exceeding the size of City B, crashed down upon the entire battlefield in an unprecedented manner.

“Things are getting more and more complicated! In that case, let’s go for the biggest trouble out of the world. Once we’ve wiped everyone out, no one will be able to stop Master of Destiny.” Master Star said casually, and his figure once again transformed into starlight.

Undoubtedly, faced with this increasingly chaotic situation, Master Xingchen had made his judgment: A meteorite larger than an entire large city should be eliminated, along with both enemies and allies, so that no one could continue to hinder his plans. Undoubtedly, their task was simply to gather the keys together; these keys would automatically open the gates of Heaven.

As for the Master of Destiny? The Master of Stars doesn't believe that the Master of Destiny could be wiped out by such an attack.

For a moment, the battlefield was quieted down by this scene. Almost everyone looked up in shock at the enormous meteorite that covered the sky. What was even more terrifying was that this huge meteorite was still growing larger.

The ever-increasing sense of oppression made it almost impossible for them to breathe.

Even in this situation, one person still wore a smile: "Hahahaha! Kill everyone at once?! What a crazy choice! I like that guy! But sorry! I'm a superhero fan who believes in the possibility of humanity! So the heroes will definitely be able to resolve this crisis! Ahahaha! Men! Ignore that meteorite, the heroes can handle it! We must have faith in the superheroes! Now let's get back to our business! Hahahaha!"

"I really don't want to be trusted by people like that!" The blaster in the distance naturally heard his words, but he could only say that helplessly. After all, he knew very well that if they didn't do something, they were all doomed.

Countless maple leaves began to twirl and dance in mid-air. A large number of maple leaves began to fly towards the meteorite, but before they even reached it, they exploded one after another due to the high temperature.

"Damn it! This thing needs to be cooled down. Cold Flame! Otherwise, my bombs won't be able to destroy it!" Blast cursed at Cold Flame, "Is the orbital cannon still charging?" Blast's maple leaves started exploding continuously without touching the meteorite, but the effect was not very good.

In space, the Galactic Warrior finally made his move. His abilities began to take effect at this moment, temporarily transforming the gravitational pull between the meteorite and Earth into a repulsive force.

However, there is no doubt that the target is far too enormous. Even though the Galactic Warrior has been certified as an SS-class hero, all he can do in the face of such a massive being is to slightly delay the meteor's descent.

"..." Upon hearing the mention of explosion, Leng Yan fell silent. He knew very well that even if they shattered this thing, they wouldn't just be buried under countless fragments of rocks and meteorites. Ordinary explosions, even if powerful enough, weren't very efficient.

"Where are you looking?" The Awakening Master's voice rang out at that moment. Almost simultaneously, numerous special runes appeared on his body. A pair of large hands reached directly towards Leng Yan's head.

"Where are you looking?" Leng Yan replied coldly. Almost simultaneously, Leng Yan's body completely transformed into blue flames. Leng Yan had transformed from an ordinary human body into an elemental form. A body formed of blue flames began to burn fiercely before the Awakening Master.

The Awakening Master had no chance to withdraw his hand or escape with a clone, because he had undoubtedly used his true form when he touched Leng Yan. He had thought he could kill Leng Yan directly with his abilities. But without a doubt, that was impossible.

Blue flames began to spread from Cold Flame's body towards the Awakened Master. In an instant, Cold Flame began to fight against the Awakened Master.

"Hahaha! Are you planning to hold out here with me? The meteorite above your heads will kill you all." The Awakening Master suddenly spoke up and shouted at Leng Yan, "We will all die soon! And a new era will begin."

“It won’t happen.” Leng Yan said calmly, “Give authorization! Permit the use of antimatter!!!”

In mid-air, a row of numbers appeared in Rose's eyes, and then, right in front of everyone, energy wings that were more than ten meters long were extended from the girl's back.

As energy wings extended from the girl's back, she abandoned the Star Master she had been tracking and looked at the massive meteorite about to fall overhead.

"Star Destroyer Mode activated." Rose's voice was once again cold and stingy. Almost simultaneously, Rose's arm in front of her deformed, and in the blink of an eye, a huge energy cannon appeared in front of her.

"This won't do!" Master Xingchen's voice rang out again. Almost simultaneously, Master Xingchen was about to snap his fingers again when a maple leaf struck him directly. With an explosion, Master Xingchen was blasted away.

"I won't let you stop her!" A loud explosion rang out.

"Thank you," Rose said softly as Blast passed by. She also gave Blast a smile.

"You're welcome!" Explosive Reality paused for a moment, then returned a smile.

Immediately afterward, the explosion flew towards Master Star. On the other side, Rose's energy cannon was also ready.

"Antimatter cannon ready." Rose's voice rang out again, and black energy burst forth from Rose's cannon barrel, shooting straight into the sky.

The antimatter cannon's attack pierced directly through the meteorite in the sky. Then, right before everyone's eyes, the meteorite began to collapse, emitting a dazzling light as it collapsed, and finally exploded in mid-air.

Almost in the blink of an eye, a huge meteorite vanished into nothingness.

This was a truly shocking scene, so shocking that the entire battlefield fell silent once again. Such a massive meteorite was blasted to nothing in the blink of an eye.

"You underestimate humanity." On the ground, Leng Yan said coldly to the Awakening Master in front of him, the cold flames now engulfing the Awakening Master's entire body.

Ban Lengyan merely gave him a gentle push forward. The Awakened Master was instantly turned into an ice sculpture, finally collapsing to the ground and shattering into pieces. "See? I told you, all we need to do is try to trust the heroes."

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

As the massive meteorite vanished into thin air, everyone stared in astonishment at the tiny figure in the sky.

"Cold Flame! What exactly did your technology development department put on her?" Explosion was so shocked that his jaw almost dropped.

"All the most powerful weapons possible, and all the technological advancements humanity has ever made in warfare." Leng Yan said, walking towards the Master of Fate on the Great Wall: "We are already going all out to deal with this greatest calamity in history."

"That's really going all out! Do you even know what those things are? That's antimatter!" Blast couldn't help but exclaim. "That's matter that can destroy the Earth with just a tiny bit! Just how much antimatter did you guys add to her energy system?"

“As much antimatter as possible.” Hearing this, Leng Yan remained calm and said, “We added as much antimatter as possible to her energy storage. Technically, this was impossible, but her alien armor made it possible.”

"Did you even equip her with that Star Armor?" Blast couldn't help but ask upon hearing the other party's words.

Leng Yan simply nodded calmly.

"Okay, maybe you're as crazy as Gear. But at least I can say for sure that you deserve my respect," Blast said helplessly. This time, however, he already knew Cold Flame and the others' final trump card. Actually, if he thought about it carefully, it wasn't impossible to figure it out.

It's obvious that Leng Yan and his team's final trump card is the antimatter bomb—a massive amount of antimatter powerful enough to destroy the entire world. But without a doubt, humanity itself, which wields this weapon, will also face annihilation! But isn't that precisely what makes this power so terrifying? Just as mentioned before, God cannot allow humanity to perish so easily.

Therefore, this is a suicidal tactic, and under the threat of such a tactic, even the gods had no choice but to compromise.

Of course, that was a last resort, a plan made after the gods descended, when humanity was unable to wage war. A trump card that could potentially destroy humanity completely.

Undoubtedly, this is precisely why Leng Yan cannot reveal his final trump card. If it were revealed, both he and the Hero Association would be disgraced. They would likely face public condemnation.

After all, if humanity truly cannot win, how many of those who survived the judgment of the gods would support a plan that would lead to their complete destruction?

Having figured all this out, Blast said nothing more. While admiring Cold Flame's ruthlessness and decisiveness, he attacked the enemy once more. He only hoped that such a situation wouldn't occur, otherwise it might become uncontrollable.

But right now, Demolition clearly doesn't have time to concern itself with such trivial matters. The battle continues.

Amidst the constant appearance of monsters, one battle stood out as remarkably quiet. This was a battle within a single domain, where Sonic and the Master of War were locked in a fierce confrontation.

By this time, Sonic was riddled with spears. He looked extremely disheveled, and a deep, bone-revealing wound had appeared on his right leg. Sonic was now unable to continue running.

"You've already lost." The War Master smiled and said to Sonic, "To be able to fight me one-on-one to this extent, I must say you've done quite well. But I'm sorry, that's it for now."

As he said this, the War Master began to approach Sonic. At that very moment, Sonic raised the Sword of Destiny in his hand and swung it down at the War Master.

"You have good talent, but you lack proper training." The Battle Formation Master simply used a spear to deflect Sonic's attack, then came to Sonic's side and grabbed Sonic's wrist with one hand.

With intense pain and the sound of bones snapping, the sword in Sonic's hand fell into the hands of the War Master once again.

"However, at that very moment, a giant hand descended from the sky and shattered the barrier, reaching directly towards the War Master."

"The eldest son of the Karen family? You should be on our side, right? Why did you do such a thing?" The War Master looked at Master Karen in the sky as he gained a giant hand.

“Perhaps for you,” the eldest son of the Cullen family said calmly, “but for us, we must now follow Ivan’s arrangements. So, let us be shot down by a thousand arrows.”

As soon as Karen's eldest son finished speaking, countless arrows suddenly appeared in the sky above him and were all fired at the War Master.

"This is the council? Perhaps you are indeed strong. But to the Karen family, you are not invincible," said Karen's eldest son. He then discovered that a shield wall had risen beneath his feet, blocking all the arrows.

……

On the other side, in front of Master Star, Rose had already transformed into a streak of light and rushed towards him. Her figure disappeared once again, but the next second, a terrifying beam of energy appeared where he had reappeared.

"This is bad luck." With a helpless sigh, Master Xingchen's body was pierced through by the enemy before him. At the same time, Rose appeared in front of him, her energy cannon once again pointing at Master Xingchen.

"Hey, aren't you heroes supposed to not kill people?"

“That depends on the circumstances. Under certain circumstances, we are permitted to kill,” Rose calmly replied to Master Star.

Amidst a tremendous explosion, Master Xingchen vanished from this world.

"Humanity, the gate will inevitably open, and no matter what efforts you make, it will be in vain," the Master of Fate said calmly. "Leng Yan, you could have become one of the gods of the new era. There is no need for you to waste your life here."

“In my world, there are only heroes, not gods.” Leng Yan replied coldly, “You should know how long I have been preparing for this moment.”

"And what about you? Do you think so too? Actually, if you give up now, the great god might give you a real human body. You should know very well that to humans, you are ultimately just a monster. A created, dangerous, and unstable deformed child." The Master of Fate's gaze turned to the other side once more, and just then, Rose was already floating in mid-air.

The Wand of Truth was emitting a faint light, and the Master of Fate, who held the wand, remained calm, for he believed that the guidance of fate would not be wrong, the door would surely open, and that no matter how independent these people were, it would all be in vain.

Instead, he was met with a terrifyingly powerful energy cannon. Clearly, he hadn't convinced the two beings before him. The energy attack struck the Master of Fate directly, but under the glow of the Master of Fate's wand, the energy dissipated into thin air. Seeing this, Leng Yan frowned. The next second, he was already standing before the Master of Fate.

As terrifying blue flames erupted continuously, Cold Flame seized the Master of Fate. With the burning blue flames, the Master of Fate's body began to ignite, and ice gradually enveloped his surroundings.

Before Leng Yan could react, the ice on the Master of Fate began to disappear.

"What?" Leng Yan's face showed shock when he saw this, but then he was hit in the abdomen by a staff and sent flying.

"Your flames are no longer effective against me," the Master of Fate said calmly. The next second, he raised his hand and grabbed Rose's second energy cannon, then threw it back at her.
