[Chat Group For The Death] Chapter 181 - 185

Chapter 181: Thanos, You Are So Brave!

[CHAT GROUP]

Howard Stark: Group Leader, your luck is a little weird! You just got the Power Gem, and another Infinity Gem came to the door. What kind of gem is that gold Infinity Gem? Its size is bigger than both Power Gems and Space Gems!

Lucas: The Mind Gem!

Uchiha Madara: Why are people in this world so arrogant? This big guy in purple is even better than the guy in blue!

Lucas: It's not surprising at all! The blue guy is lower-ranked than purple guy. The reason why purple guy appeared is probably because I killed the blue guy.

Howard Stark: That blue guy is a high-level executive of the Kree Empire, one of the three major empires in the universe. Who is this purple guy? To be higher rank than Ronan, he shouldn't be just some nameless person, right?

Lucas: He is Thanos, the overlord of the universe, the mad titan of the Eternals, the leader of the Dark Order, and the super villain who wiped out half the population of the universe in the original future.

Senju Hashirama: That means he collected all six Infinity Stones in the original future?!

Howard Stark: This guy is so strong, how did my son save the universe from him?

Lucas: This matter is a bit complicated! After destroying half of the population of the universe, the purple potato essence in front of me destroyed all six Infinity Stones with his own hands.

Uchiha Madara: Why? Why did he destroy such precious artifacts as the Infinity Stones? Can treasures like the Infinity Stones even be destroyed?

Lucas: The power of the Infinity Stones can fight against the Infinity Stones, and the power of the Infinity Stones can also destroy the Infinity Stones. As for why he destroyed them, it's because he feels that his dream has been completed.

Whitebeard: His dream?

Lucas: That's right! Thanos is a philosopher and thinker who is worried about the future. He saw that life in the entire universe is growing without limit. Sooner or later, this will lead to a shortage of resources in the universe, which in turn will bring destruction to the entire universe.

Lucas: So he collected all six Infinity Stones, snapped his fingers, and wiped out half the population of the universe. He felt that he was saving the universe by doing this. After doing all this, he had nothing else to do. After destroying the Infinity Stones, he retired to a quiet planet.

Howard Stark: ...

Sebastian Shaw: ...

The two were a little speechless. Thanos actually destroyed half of the universe's population for such a mundane reason. Isn't their world too unlucky?

Lo Pei: Is this purple potato essence crazy? The growth rate of sentient beings is insane. Even if he wipes out half of the population in the universe, it will take less than a hundred years to return to its original state.

Gengetsu Hōzuki: Indeed! This is very illogical. The overlord of the universe doesn't even know this basic knowledge? War can wipe out a large number of people, but as soon as it ends, the population rebounds quickly.

Namikaze Minato: This kind of thing is known even to those of us who have experienced the Great Ninja War. Wouldn't someone like Thanos know about it? It's unreasonable!

Lucas: Who can say? Maybe some greater power blinded Thanos' mind, or maybe Thanos' own experience made him fall into paranoia.

Howard Stark: Thanos Experience?

Lucas: That's right! Thanos' own planet was destroyed because of overpopulation and shortage of resources. Thanos' obsession with eliminating population has a lot to do with his life experience.

Uchiha Madara: Compared to the experience of Thanos, I want to know what kind of being could deceive him. With six Infinity Stones, he can wipe out half the population of the universe with a snap of his fingers!

Lucas: The Thanos after collecting all six Infinity Stones is indeed powerful, but there are many more powerful beings in this world than him. Don't underestimate this world, the water in this world is deep!

Even with six Infinity Stones, Thanos' strength is barely at the level of the multiverse. In the Marvel world, there aren't a lot of powerhouses at the multiverse level. And above the multiverse, there exists the omnipotent universal beings.

Senju Tobirama: Beyond all this, I admire Thanos' heart more. He destroyed a powerful artifact like the Infinity Stones after completing his dream, he doesn't miss his status and power. Unlike some people, who claim to be saving the world but actually want to make themselves the god who dominates everything.

Uchiha Madara: ...

Senju Tobirama: Group Leader, if someone is willing to fulfill Thanos' dream for him, would Thanos be willing to give up the Infinity Gauntlet?

Lucas: Probably!

Senju Tobirama: If I remember correctly, some people in the original future used Uchiha Obito to made the Infinite Tsukuyomi happen! It seems that some people's belief in saving the world is far less pure than Thanos!

Uchiha Madara: Okay! I admit that I don't have such a pure belief, but I still don't understand the reason why Thanos destroyed the Infinity Stones. Even if his wish has been fulfilled, there was no need to destroy them, right?

Lucas: The power of the Infinity Stones is too strong, and it makes many people take risks. And if someone else masters all six Infinity Stones, a snap of their fingers can revive those who were killed by Thanos.

Howard Stark: Group Leader, Tony didn't die because of this, right?

Lucas: That's right! After Thanos destroyed the Infinity Stones, he was killed by Tony and his team. In order to resurrect those killed by Thanos, they traveled through time and got all six Infinity Stones from the past.

Lucas: But their disruption of time also brought the past Thanos into the future. The past Thanos fought with Tony and the others in the future, and at a critical moment, Tony Stark got all six Infinity Stones inlaid in the gauntlet.

Howard Stark: Isn't he invincible then?

Lucas: Thanos was at hand! To destroy Thanos, Tony Stark snapped his fingers. But his own strength was too weak to bear the infinity stones power, and he was killed by the backlash of the Infinity Stones.

Howard Stark: ...

Sebastian Shaw: This is also called saving the universe? Speaking of which, how did Tony Stark and the others with six Infinity Stones compete with Thanos? With such a strong power, they should have been able to easily defeat Thanos and his army.

Lucas: How do I explain it? The Infinity Gauntlet with six Infinity Stones is not so easy to control. Just enduring the backlash from wearing it is not something that ordinary people can bear. Although Tony Stark and the others had the artifact, it doesn't work that simply!

Sebastian Shaw: If you put it that way, then I understand. Howard had the Cosmic Cube for many years, but he can't use it properly? Like father, like son.

Howard Stark was speechless; there was really no excuse for this. Not to mention the Infinity Gauntlet inlaid with six Infinity Stones—even the Cosmic Cube with just one Infinity Stone released energy that made him afraid to approach it when activated.

After thinking about it, Howard Stark asked in a puzzled way: "If no one can use it, how did they revive half of the population in the universe? Did they somehow bring those people back when they destroyed Thanos and his army?"

Lucas: Among Tony Stark's companions, there was a powerful being. He used the Six-Gem Infinity Gauntlet to revive half of the population that was wiped out by Thanos. The backlash from using the Infinity Stones severely injured him.

Lucas: Then, Thanos from the past appeared, and they didn't dare use the Infinity Gauntlet indiscriminately. The two sides fought fiercely, and the Infinity Gauntlet was almost taken away by Thanos. Tony Stark had no choice but to use the Infinity Stones to kill Thanos and his army. Do you understand now?

Howard Stark: Got it!

Pirate King Roger: It seems that both Thanos and Tony Stark were very lucky to be able to get all six Infinity Stones!

Uchiha Madara: Indeed! No amount of planning can compare to such lucky accidents. Getting all six Infinity Stones is enough to show their incredible luck.

Golden Lion Shiki with his bad luck silently gave up the idea of speaking at this time.

Lucas: Thanos and Tony Stark, they are similar to Roger and Luffy. They're all people with great luck, and they tend to accomplish more with less.

Sword God Ryuma: This big guy in purple, we've figured out. Who are the other two who came out of the colorful beam of light?

Lucas: The Asgardian God-King Odin's two sons, Thor and Loki. The colorful lights they used when they appeared were Asgard's space artifact—the Rainbow Bridge, which can use rainbow light to transport people and things anywhere.

Sebastian Shaw: What are they doing here? Wait, isn't it because Group Leader took away the Cosmic Cube?

Lucas: It's possible!

Gold Thief Woonan: This means that Group Leader not only has to deal with the universe overlord who has atmospheric luck and Infinity Stones, but also has to deal with the two princes of Asgard, and he has to be careful of Odin's attack...

Golden Lion Shiki: Group Leader is in a bad situation, there's trouble ahead!

At this moment, Thor raised Mjolnir in his hand and said to Thanos angrily: "Thanos, you are so brave! Knowing that the dwarves are protected by Asgard, how dare you manipulate them to do your bidding?"

Loki looked at the Infinity Gauntlet on Thanos' hand and said with a surprised expression: "This is the artifact that you forced the Dwarf King to create for you? I've seen similar gauntlets in Asgard's treasury. But yours is different—there are six gems on that glove!"

Thor said angrily: "Loki, why are you making small talk with him? The Dwarf King is my friend, and I won't allow anyone to bully or manipulate him!"

[CHAT GROUP]

Hearing Thor and Loki's words, the member in the chat group were a little surprised and asked Lucas what was going on.

They could understand what Thor and Loki said, but they didn't understand the meaning because they lacked understanding of the situation in this universe.

Lucas: The planet inhabited by the dwarves is also one of the Nine Realms, protected by Asgard. The dwarves are master craftsmen, skilled at creating weapons. Both Thor's Hammer and the Infinity Gauntlet that Thanos wears were made by them. The power of the Infinity Stones is too strong and must be controlled with the help of artifacts. To harness the six Infinity Stones, Thanos used the power of the Mind Stone to control the Dwarf King and forced him to create the Infinity Gauntlet.

Tatsumi: Is that Mind Stone also contained in some kind of artifact? Are all six Infinity Stones hidden in similar objects?

Lucas: Not exactly. The Cosmic Cube and the Orb are just coincidences. In the original future The Mind Stone is a gem on a scepter.

Howard Stark: Which is stronger, the Cosmic Overlord or Asgard? Since Thanos dares to control Asgard's vassals, he must have strength that's no weaker than Asgard, right?

Lucas: Maybe! Thanos only manipulated the Dwarf King to make weapons for himself and didn't do anything else. I think he was wary of Asgard revenge if he did what he normally do.

There are mutants in this world, which is very different from the MCU universe. It seems that Thanos got the Infinity Gauntlet a little earlier, and it appears he didn't slaughter the dwarves like in the MCU.

Of course!

There was still another possibility in Lucas's mind—that his own refinement of the Cosmic Cube had stimulated Thanos and made him speed up his actions, causing various deviations from the original timeline.

After all, Lucas is not just a small butterfly in the Marvel universe; the impact of his wings is significant.

In particular, his collection of the Infinity Stones has a huge impact on the Marvel world. Even Thanos, the Cosmic Overlord, might feel threatened by him.

Chapter 182: Consciousnesses Rebel!

IN THE CHAT GROUP:

Uchiha Madara: "The kid in the gold-green leather armor said that Asgard has Infinity Gauntlets and six Infinity Stones?"

Lucas: "The Infinity Gauntlet should be real, but the Infinity Stones must be fake. Odin also thought about collecting all six Infinity Stones back then, but something happened later that made him give up the idea."

Howard Stark: "So he made six fake Infinity Stones and set them on the Infinity Gauntlet, keeping it in his treasure trove as a souvenir?"

Lucas: "That's right!"

IN THE OUTSIDE WORLD:

Thanos gave Thor and Loki a cold look and said slowly, "The two princes of Asgard, didn't God King Odin teach you to know your limits?"

Thor, the God of Thunder, looked like a newborn calf who wasn't afraid of tigers, and said aggressively to Thanos, "Asgard has been peaceful for so long that many have lost their awe of Asgard. For your provocation, Asgard will never let it go easily."

Thanos smiled slightly. The golden gem on the Infinity Gauntlet flashed with light, and the expressions of Thor and Loki suddenly changed.

Thanos said to Thor and Loki in a detached tone, "Have you seen the man on the other side? The blue ring on his hand is the space stone, one of the infinity stone."

Thor asked in confusion, "Why do you say that?"

Thanos smiled and said, "You should know that Odin once held an artifact called the Cosmic Cube, right? That Space Gem is the core and energy source of the Cosmic Cube. Now this artifact has been taken away. Aren't the two princes going to take it back?"

Thor nodded, his expression becoming firm, and he said to Lucas, "If that's the case, then please return the treasures of Asgard!"

IN THE CHAT GROUP:

Sword God Ryuma: "This is the prince of Asgard? With such a stupid heir, Asgard will definitely be doomed in the future."

Sebastian Shaw: "It should be what Thanos used, is it the power of the Mind Stone?"

Lucas: "That's right! The power of the Mind Stone includes telepathy, mind control, emotional guidance, memory manipulation... these are the powers of the mind, and the owner of the Mind Stone can use these powers at will."

Sebastian Shaw: "It's equivalent to an enhanced version of Charles? That is to say, now Thor and Loki are both influenced and controlled by him?"

Lucas: "Almost! Anyway, they were affected by the power of the Mind Stone, and now it's like they've lost their minds."

Whitebeard: "I have a question, doesn't Odin know what's going on here? His son is being influenced and controlled by others, so why doesn’t he do anything at all?"

Lucas: "Don't underestimate Odin. He is a real king. Just because his son is being influenced and controlled doesn't mean he has to intervene immediately. That's not what a qualified king should do."

Whitebeard: "Then according to you, Group Leader, what is Odin doing now?"

Lucas: "I think it's very likely that Odin is watching the battle here. As long as Thor and Loki aren't in danger, he certainly doesn't mind using me and Thanos to give his two sons a lesson."

Sword God Ryuma: "It makes sense! Neither of his two sons seems to realize what its meant to grow up, and they really need a good education."

IN THE OUTSIDE WORLD:

Lucas looked at Thor, shaking his head slightly, and said with a disappointed expression, "Reckless, belligerent, and lacking in strength. Can you really support Asgard?"

Thor was furious when he heard these words. Without saying a word, he raised Mjolnir in his hand. The sky began surging with energy, and silver lightning fell from the pitch-black clouds, connecting with the silver hammer raised by Thor.

"You dare to underestimate the mighty Thor? Go to hell!"

Thor gave a low growl and waved the hammer in his hand violently. The silver lightning roared towards Lucas and landed on his body with a rumble.

Lucas did not evade. He let the thunder and lightning fall on him, and then absorbed them all with Shaw mutant ability.

"How is this possible?" Thor gasped. "You actually absorbed all my lightning?"

Thor looked at Lucas in astonishment—his all-powerful lightning attack had failed for the first time.

Lucas raised his palm with silver electric current pulsing in it, and smiled at Thor, the God of Thunder in the distance. "How about I tell you a joke? Thor is afraid of electricity!"

Thor was stunned when he heard the words, and his expression immediately became embarrassed. He felt that Lucas was humiliating him, and he was very angry.

Then he saw Lucas punch toward him, and the dazzling silver lightning turned into a torrent, drowning him and Loki all at once.

As the thunder light dissipated, Thor and Loki trembled, feeling numbness throughout their bodies. This was the aftermath of being attacked by lightning.

"Thor is afraid of electricity—am I kidding?" Lucas smiled and looked at Thor, the God of Thunder. God knows why he, the master of thunder, was hurt by lightning.

"You...have a taste of this!" Thor was enraged. Without saying a word, he threw Mjolnir from his hand, using it like a meteor hammer to smash Lucas.

Thor had three main attacks—summoning the hammer, wielding the hammer, and calling lightning.

The third trick had been used and proved ineffective against Lucas. Not only that, Lucas also showed an immunity to lightning that made Thor envious.

In this case, Thor tried his second move: Mjolnir smashing Lucas with its powerful impact.

Boom!

Lucas calmly raised his palm and grabbed the flying Mjolnir with ease. Golden patterns spread from his hand to Thor's Hammer.

Knight of Owner: A Knight Does Not Die with Empty Hands

"No, it's impossible!" Seeing that Lucas caught his hammer and casually tossed it up twice, Thor's face turned gloomy.

"Return!" Thor called out desperately. "Mjolnir, come back to me!"

Thor waved at Mjolnir again and again, but the hammer, which normally obeyed his summons without question, was indifferent to him now.

"This is impossible!"

Loki beside Thor also had a face full of gray defeat. His knowledge of Mjolnir was no less than that of Thor.

As a well-known artifact in Asgard, Mjolnir was also very attractive to Loki, and he had tried many times to wield this hammer.

But it was a pity!

As an artifact, Mjolnir was quite aloof. Except for Odin and Thor, it didn't give face to anyone else—no one else could even lift it.

Because of Thor's preference, he regarded Mjolnir as his destined treasure. He took it with him when he ate and slept, and took it out from time to time to show off. His feelings for the hammer almost matched those for his own brother.

And Loki was always envious of what he couldn't have. He was always scheming against his brother's hammer, hoping that one day he could win its affection and let the hammer know that he was better than his brother.

Now...

After Mjolnir was thrown out by Thor, it had thrown itself into Lucas's arms without hesitation. This feeling was like...

It was as if Thor's girlfriend, whom he had loved for many years, and the goddess whom Loki had pursued for years, had fallen into Lucas's arms before their unbelieving eyes.

Clap, clap!

In the dark, there seemed to be the sound of glass hearts breaking.

"Isn't it...?" Thanos looked at Thor and Loki speechlessly. Seeing that Thor's hammer was captured by Lucas actually overwhelmed the mind control he had placed on them.

"With such two hapless heirs, Asgard's days are numbered!" Thanos thought silently in his heart, ignoring the two dejected princes, and looked at Lucas with astonishing eyes.

"Is it your turn to attack?" Lucas tossed Mjolnir in his hand and looked at Thanos with a half-smile.

"You are very strong!" Thanos admitted. "If we fight directly, I wouldn't be able to defeat you now."

Thanos said in a calm tone. Lucas had too much on him.

Space Gem, Power Gem, Mjolnir, Universal War Hammer... each of them was a genuine item with terrifying power.

Lucas asked curiously, "So what? Are you going to admit defeat?"

Thanos sneered and said, "What a pity! You have a fatal vulnerability. That's why I am confident I can defeat you."

As soon as the words fell, the Mind Stone in Thanos's gauntlet suddenly glowed with dazzling golden light.

As the golden light brightened, Lucas's body suddenly swelled and Other consciousness from his body began to rebel.

"Damn it!" Lucas's face changed, and his eyes widened in anger.

Conqueror's Haki burst out, suppressing the consciousnesses in his body.

Pitch-black lightning flashed across his skin, and the Six Paths-level shadow guarded his consciousness.

The purple light of the Power Stone traveled throughout his body, compressing Lucas's bloated form back to its original shape.

The warhammer quickly transformed into a helmet similar to Magneto's, which Lucas put on his head.

"Bring it on!"

When Thanos saw this, his eyes narrowed, and he attacked Lucas without a word. His large hand wearing the Infinity Gauntlet grabbed for the Infinity Stone in Lucas's possession.

"Get away!" Lucas threw Mjolnir without hesitation, but was knocked flying by Thanos's fist.

The Imperial Teigu armor appeared on Lucas's body, using god-level alchemy that could slash through the world of Akame ga Kill—super armor created from the wreckage of the Shikoutazer, which gave him a huge boost as soon as he put it on.

The light of the two Infinity Stones quickly filled the entire mecha, and Lucas punched out to meet Thanos' outstretched hand.

BOOM!

Lucas and Thanos punched each other, both realizing that their opponent's strength was comparable to their own.

Lucas was reluctant to stay and take the risk. The gem on his space ring shone brightly, and a cloud of blue mist quickly engulfed him.

"Damn!" Thanos threw a punch at empty air and his face darkened.

Such a great opportunity, now lost.

ON THE DISTANT MOON:

Lucas appeared out of thin air, maintaining his Conqueror's Haki, Six Paths Ying and Yang, and Power Stone to restore his condition to optimal.

IN THE CHAT GROUP:

Everyone asked Lucas what had happened.

Lucas: "I have the consciousnesses of Gedo Statue, and Kaguya in my body, and they rebelled just now with the support of the Mind Stone."

Chapter 183: High School Students Exclaim They Can't Compare!

IN THE CHAT GROUP:

Uchiha Madara: "No way? Group Leader, these wills can actually resist you?"

Lucas: "Under normal conditions, it's impossible for them to resist me. But if my strength is weakened, or if they are strengthened like just now, there will be situations where they can rebel."

Senju Tobirama: "In the original future of the Ninja World, did these wills rebel against Uchiha Madara?"

Lucas: "The reason why Uchiha Madara was sacrificed by Black Zetsu was because the Kaguya's will in him counterattacked. Besides him, Uchiha Obito suffered a counterattack from the Ten Tails' will, and Ōtsutsuki Kaguya experienced a counterattack from the will of the Nine Tailed Beasts."

Golden Lion Shiki: "Shihahaha! I didn't expect that becoming Ten Tails Jinchūriki would be so risky. Should the Group Leader consider giving up Ten Tails?"

Lucas: "Give up Ten Tails? Thinking too much—it's impossible for me to give it up now. The Infinity Stones and the Shikoutazer Armor are external equipment, and my personal strength mainly comes from the Ninja World and the Pirate World."

Lucas: "Swordsmanship, Taijutsu, Haki, and Devil Fruit abilities from the Pirate World are my main skills, and the top talent you gave me determines the limits of my physical fitness. Unfortunately, these add up to not enough for me to reach Six Paths class."

Lucas: "Many skill from the world of ninja largely overlap with everything in the Pirate World. Only the identity of Ten Tails Jinchūriki can make my strength and lifespan leap forward. Giving it up means my power and longevity would significantly drop."

Infinity Stones, while good, were external gear. No matter how problematic Ten Tails Jinchūriki was, it was still his own inherent power. Lucas knew that his intrinsic level was more important than his equipment.

Howard Stark: "Then what can we do? If you don't solve this hidden danger, you'll be at a disadvantage when facing Thanos!"

Lucas: "Being at a disadvantage isn't so bad! Even with this hidden vulnerability when facing Thanos, I can still make a difference. The reason I chose to retreat was because of the uncertain factor of Odin watching."

Sebastian Shaw: "Because it would be very troublesome to face Thanos and Odin at the same time, so the Group Leader threw Mjolnir back?"

Lucas: "Yeah!"

Senju Hashirama: "Does the Group Leader have a solution for the hidden wills in your body?"

Lucas: "It's difficult! If I get the Mind Stone, maybe I can try to get rid of them. But for now, I can only suppress them. Will is the hardest thing to eliminate—that's why I dealt with Holy Grail and Black Zetsu through sealing rather than destruction."

Lucas: "Especially the other tailed beast consciousnesses in my body—they coexist with the power of Ten Tails. It's too difficult to eliminate them without weakening my power!"

Lo Pei: "For stripping away consciousness, there seems to be related magic in my world. Group Leader, are you planning to visit my world?"

Lucas: "Have you decided to trust me?"

Lo Pei: "Yeah! Here's the world pass. When will the Group Leader leave?"

Lucas: "Now!"

After receiving the world pass from Lo Pei, Lucas came directly to the world of Jackie Chan's Adventures.

SAN FRANCISCO:

Lucas appeared on top of a building, looking at the dark clouds shrouding the sky. His brows slightly raised—the dark power of this world was too strong.

IN THE CHAT GROUP:

Lo Pei: "Group Leader, do you know my world? Don't be alarmed by the darkness of the world; this world is approaching the ultimate darkness."

Pirate King Roger: "What is the ultimate darkness?"

Lo Pei: "My world has two opposing magical energies: Good and Evil. They represent the yin and yang of this world. When Evil is strong, all kinds of demons will be born in the world. If the dark chi becomes extremely powerful, the whole world will fall into the ultimate darkness."

Lucas: "That's right! In ancient times, the dark chi in this world gave birth to eight demons, and Good gave birth to eight spirit generals. The demons ruled the world for a period of time, and then they were defeated by the generals one by one and sealed away."

Lucas: "This is the pattern of conflict between dark chi and light chi. The representatives supported by both sides take turns ruling the world. It seems that the world is now being ruled by representatives supported by dark chi."

Pirate King Roger: "Do Good and Evil rule the world in turn? I didn't expect them to be quite harmonious. I thought that two diametrically opposed forces would fight each other to the death!"

Lo Pei: "Good and Evil are like yin and yang—they are both indispensable parts of this world. One is strong while the other declines, but there is absolutely no possibility of one disappearing completely."

Lucas: "The relationship between Good and Evil constantly changes like the cycle of yin and yang. This was the original future of this world. But because of the emergence of transmigrator, the balance between Good and Evil is being broken."

Lo Pei: "Is that so? If there were no transmigrator, what would my world be like?"

Lucas: "Without transmigrator, the dark recovery of this world would only cause minor troubles. You would take your descendant Xiaoyu/Jade Chan, and Jackie Chan to solve all problems intact, not end up suddenly dying like you did now."

Lo Pei: "I was attacked by an evil spirit and accidentally died while fighting it. I originally had light chi to protect my body, but my chi is too weak, and it's not enough to protect me."

Tatsumi: "Group Leader, where is the transmigrator of this world?"

Lucas: "Don't worry, I'll find him right away. He's been doing well in this world and doesn't hide himself at all, so it won't be difficult to find him."

IN THE OUTSIDE WORLD:

Lucas looked at the big screen on the opposite building, which was playing a video. In the video, a young and beautiful female reporter was interviewing a handsome young man. The young man was speaking to the camera:

"The return of monsters and demons is inevitable. It's useless to blindly evade and deny this fact. We should actively integrate with them. We don't need to fear them, because we humans can obtain power no less than theirs through magic."

"Where did magicians come from? Magic was handed down by gods and demons in ancient times. It's just that over the long years, they gradually faded from mainstream view, and most mages like myself practiced in silence before..."

"But now the whole world is facing the trend of demons returning. I think we magicians can no longer remain passive and avoid the world. We should take the initiative to stand up and actively assume the responsibility of maintaining world peace."

Lucas watched the video for a while, and after figuring out where the young man lived, he immediately set off toward him.

IN THE CHAT GROUP:

Lo Pei: "Group Leader, you don't mean to say that he is a transmigrator, right? I know this young man named Jiang Ye, and he is a young and promising mage."

Lucas: "Really? Then why is there no such person in the original future that I know? Whether he is good or bad, we'll discover through secret observation. What you know might just be what he shows intentionally—the side that he wants others to see."

EUROPE, IN A HUGE AND LUXURIOUS CASTLE:

Lucas arrived quietly and entered the castle by stealth.

The castle was filled with magic—this was the light chi magic, and it was also the reason why Lo Pei recognized Jiang Ye.

Jiang Ye was studying chi magic, but it was just chi magic, and there seemed to be no problem on the surface.

Lo Pei: "Group Leader, did you make a mistake? Maybe in the original future, because the dark chi caused only minor troubles, this young man simply didn't appear!"

Lucas: "Don't rush to conclusions! I'm not in a hurry, so why are you?"

Anyway, Lucas remained invisible. He found a place to sit down and played with the Infinity Stones in his hand.

Howard Stark: "Group Leader! Do the Infinity Stones still have endless energy outside the Marvel world?"

Lucas: "The reason why the Infinity Stones have endless energy is that they're transformed by the laws of the Marvel universe, and they can continuously extract energy from that universe. Now that we've come to a strange world, without home field advantage, naturally they won't have infinite energy."

Sebastian Shaw: "So the effect of the Infinity Stones is suddenly reduced a lot?"

Lucas: "Although there's no infinite energy, the Infinity Stones are still extremely precious treasures. The Space Stone's function to manipulate space hasn't been affected in the slightest, and the Power Stone's function hasn't been weakened either. The only change is that they're no longer a source of unlimited energy by themselves."

Senju Tobirama: "If that's the case, the Infinity Stones are still very powerful, equivalent to a combination of various Devil Fruits in the Pirate World. But does it now consume a lot of energy? Since they're no longer an energy source themselves, does using them drain the Group Leader's power?"

Lucas: "It's not a big problem! Although the Infinity Stones can no longer provide energy, they can still be used as containers. There's still a lot of energy I extracted in the Marvel world before, which is enough for me to use for a long time before I need to return to the Marvel World to recharge."

Howard Stark: "If you take all six Infinity Stones to other worlds, would you still be able to snap your fingers and destroy half the population of the universe?"

Lucas: "Without the energy provided by the Infinity Stones themselves, even if Thanos was completely drained, it wouldn't be possible to do such a thing."

As night fell, Jiang Ye finished his magic practice, got up, and walked toward the castle's underground chamber.

Opening a secret door, a room full of black energy appeared, and Jiang Ye walked in calmly.

Lo Pei, who saw this scene through Lucas's eyes, was stunned. He didn't expect that Jiang Ye's previous acts were truly just a disguise.

Righteous magic was a pretense—he was actually an evil mage who studied dark chi.

"Shadow Corps!"

Jiang Ye sat on a throne, raised his hand to summon a group of black-clothed ninjas, and then gave them orders: "Continue to look for Jackie Chen and the others, and try to steal the talismans in their hands for me."

Saying that, Jiang Ye took out a map and pointed to locations on it, issuing missions to The Shadowkhan: "When you go to these places to cause damage, make it as big as possible. We need to let everyone know that the demons have returned, understand?"

The Shadowkhan nodded, then quickly merged into the ground and disappeared into the shadows.

"The limitless dark chi! System upgrade with each success!"

Jiang Ye snorted coldly, picked up a black magic book, and continued to study black magic.

He was incredibly diligent!

Learning light magic during the day and black magic at night.

Chapter 184: Your Colleagues Are Forcing You to Be the Hardest Worker!

Lo Pei: "What does this kid mean when he talks about dark chi and the system?"

Lucas: "I think his system function must be the type that guides people to believe in the return of demons to obtain system points. He's saying 'each success' because he gets points after completing tasks."

Lucas: "As for what he said about dark chi, that's easily explained. Dark creatures in this world are protected and favored by dark chi, just like you can be protected by light chi."

Lucas: "As an outsider, although he helped the dark chi gain an advantage in the fight against Good, even bringing dark chi's strength to its apex and pushing the whole world toward ultimate darkness, the reward he got from the dark chi is very small."

Speaking of which, Lucas suddenly felt a little sympathetic toward the transmigrator. Other transmigrators all succumbed to their systems' rewards, but this one was the only one who made himself work like a dog.

Seeing him working hard day and night to learn magical knowledge, Lucas felt a little sad for him—his life was too difficult!

Unable to look down on his hard work, Lucas decided to help free him earlier and let him leave this tireless world.

Jiang Ye, who had been studying diligently, was startled and took two steps back to distance himself from Lucas. He shouted sharply, "Who are you?"

Lucas smiled and said, "A person who will help you out!"

Jiang Ye's expression turned icy cold, and large shadows appeared on the surrounding ground. One after another, ninjas with scarlet eyes emerged quickly and attacked Lucas without a word.

Hum!

The invisible Conqueror's Haki erupted from Lucas, forming a substantial destructive force, directly smashing The Shadowkhan who rushed toward him into black smoke.

"Damn it!"

Jiang Ye's face changed when he saw this. He flipped his palm and took out a grimacing mask, which he immediately put on his face.

" The Mask of Tarakudo? I didn't expect you to have even acquired this. In other words, you must have a space for equipment, right? Or is that the storage space provided by the system for you?"

Lucas looked at Jiang Ye in surprise but didn't stop him, because all his efforts were doomed to be in vain.

"How do you know I have a system?"

Jiang Ye was truly shocked now—the existence of the system was his biggest secret.

He wouldn't have been surprised if someone recognized The Mask of Tarakudo. But for someone to mention the existence of his system, he had to be shocked.

"I told you, I'm here to help you free yourself. In this case, how could I not understand you? It seems your mask has been treated with light chi. Wearing it for a short time won't let the General of the Ghost Corps take you."

Lucas stared at Jiang Ye's oni mask and analyzed it thoughtfully.

Another large shadow appeared beside Jiang Ye, and a slender ghost soldier with claw-like hands emerged from the shadow, then aggressively attacked Lucas.

Boom!

Lucas activated the ability of the Mera-Mera Fruit. His body turned into flames, and the raging fire swelled, directly destroying all the ghost soldiers charging toward him.

"Any other tricks? Don't worry, you can use them one by one. Take your time. If you don't use up all your cards, you won't know what true despair is."

Lucas looked at Jiang Ye calmly and said with a smile.

"You..."

Jiang Ye's body trembled slightly. The oni mask on his face greatly improved his physical fitness, but he still didn't have the courage to rush forward and fight Lucas.

"You forced me to do this!"

Jiang Ye gritted his teeth and suddenly took out a glass test tube from his pocket. There were two purple-black air masses circulating inside it. The air masses had patterns of paper fans and castanets respectively.

Crack!

The glass test tube was directly crushed by Jiang Ye, and two balls of black energy entered his body through his palm. His form immediately changed, and his whole person transformed into a monster.

"Demon Chi? You really have collected a lot of valuable items!"

"It's a pity! The black magic artifacts in this world come with strong negative effects. You don't dare to use them freely, right?"

"I'm curious! If you can't beat me with these things, have you thought about your end?"

Lucas looked at Jiang Ye, who had already started transforming into a combination of the Wind Demon and the Thunder Demon.

"Die!"

Jiang Ye didn't waste words with Lucas. He opened his mouth and unleashed a hurricane mixed with lightning, destroying the floor in front of him and bombarding Lucas with great momentum.

The Space Stone on Lucas's ring glowed, forming a space barrier to block Jiang Ye's thunder and wind, while simultaneously casting a spatial imprisonment on Jiang Ye's body.

"What? Those are the Infinity Stones?"

Jiang Ye was stunned. How could the Infinity Stones appear in the world of Jackie Chan's Adventures?

He had clearly determined that this was a single world, not a mixed world of Marvel and comics!

"No other attack left? Die!"

Lucas's body moved through space and instantly appeared beside Jiang Ye. His fist, glowing purple with power, landed on Jiang Ye's body.

BOOM!

Empowered by the Power Stone, Lucas sent Jiang Ye flying with one punch. The oni mask and two balls of dark chi burst out of his body.

"Ding! Congratulations to the Host for successfully killing a system owner and obtaining the skill – God-level Black Magic!"

In an instant, all knowledge of black magic in the world of Jackie Chan's Adventures appeared in Lucas's mind, ready for him to use at will.

"Seal!"

Lucas quickly used black magic on the two chi balls that were about to escape, directly imprisoning them in mid-air.

The oni mask that had fallen to the ground also floated up, and simultaneously, seven more masks flew out from Jiang Ye's body.

"God-level Black Magic—Magic Absorption!"

The eight masks and the two dark chi spheres trembled slightly as powerful magical energy flowed out of them and quickly entered Lucas's body.

Lo Pei: "Group Leader, what are you doing?"

Lucas: "After killing this transmigrator, I've mastered all the black magic in your world and can use it as I wish. I'm using the magic absorption spell to drain the magical power from the masks and dark chi into my body."

The magic absorption spell was once used by the Dark chi Mage Daolon Wong to absorb magical power from magical creatures into his body.

Lo Pei: "The oni masks and the demon chi are both products of black energy. Using their power will cause you to fall into darkness."

Lucas: "Don't worry! With god-level black magic, I can completely ignore this risk. There is no will in these magical powers, and their influence is nothing compared to what I already contain."

Senju Tobirama: "Group Leader, are these magical powers strong?"

Lucas: "Of course! These magical powers can enhance my life force—do you think they're strong?"

After experiencing the rebellion of consciousnesses in his body, Lucas paid more attention to his own inherent power. He would never let go of artifacts like the oni masks and demon chi that could increase his personal power.

Lo Pei: "If Iremembers correctly, there should be nine of these oni masks in total. Did Jiang Ye only collect eight?"

Lucas: "If all nine masks come together, they would be destroyed and the ghost generals sealed inside would be released. Jiang Ye knew this, so he didn't keep the last mask here."

Howard Stark: "You can use all masks with just one mask? Is this designed to drive collectors crazy?"

Lucas: "Although he didn't have the last mask in his possession, it didn't stop him from summoning all the ghost soldiers. The ninjas he summoned before are the ghost soldiers that can be called forth by the missing mask."

Lucas: "That mask was studied by Tarakudo, one of the Eight Great Demons, who extracted magical power from it and created a spell to summon them. Jiang Ye learned this black magic, so he could summon them without the mask."

All eight masks shattered, and the two dark chi spheres dissipated into black smoke. Their magic was drained by Lucas, leaving only a pile of impurities that he threw away.

Lucas seized the eight ghost generals' abilities to summon soldiers and their physical strength, but abandoned their wills and the ability to transform into the generals themselves.

The same was true for the demon chi—Lucas absorbed their properties that enhanced magical power and strengthened the body, but discarded the attributes that would make people evolve into demons.

In short, Lucas removed the aspects that belonged to the original hosts from these magical powers, returning them to their most essential state.

"Come forth!"

Lucas commanded in a low voice. The magical power of the eight masks activated, and the spell to summon Shadowkhan was cast. Nine Shadowkhan with different shapes appeared around Lucas.

Lucas ordered: "You should know where the last mask is. Go get it for me!"

The Shadowkhan nodded. Jiang Ye had collected the oni mask but had hidden it elsewhere.

The Shadowkhan, who had been with him for some time, knew the location of the mask and quickly retrieved it for Lucas, allowing him to extract its magical power as well.

"Perfect!"

Lucas sighed. These magical powers were amazing!

If he could absorb all the magic in Jackie Chan's world, giving up the Ten Tails wouldn't significantly reduce his power and life force level.

Lo Pei: "Group Leader, the real threat of this world is not over yet! Although the transmigrator Jiang Ye disturbed the original future, the dark chi representing the origin of the world did not choose him as its champion."

Senju Tobirama: "That means the black energy, the source of this world, is making another move. Is it going to create more demons?"

Lo Pei: "It's not creating demons, but releasing the original ones. Those demons are immortal—they were just sealed away before. Now that the dark chi is so rampant, they will definitely be released again."

Lucas: "Don't worry! It doesn't matter if they're released again. It's just more magical power for me to absorb."

Chapter 185: Upgraded Chakra?

"Fire-breathing lizardmen found in East Asia..."

"Fishmans were found in the South Pacific, and they are suspected to have the ability to control seawater."

"Vampires appeared in Western Europe and asked for blood donation."

"Monsters found in..."

"Zombies found in the East..."

"Monsters have been found in North America, and they eat everything from grass to stone and soil."

"Wraiths found in South America..."

Lucas logged into Jiang Ye's computer account and saw a lot of news on a forum related to magic.

IN THE CHAT GROUP:

Lo Pei: "I also read the news on this forum when I was alive. These reports are relatively timely. By referring to this information, we can find the monsters that need to be dealt with in the shortest time."

Lucas: "Lo Pei, don't you dislike these high-tech things?"

Lo Pei: "That's right! I hates learning these new technologies because they're very troublesome. But in order to eliminate demons as quickly as possible, learning these things became necessary."

Pirate King Roger: "This all seems very interesting! I've never seen some of the creatures mentioned on the forum! Group Leader, can you let me go explore?"

Lucas: "No problem! Not only you, I also plan to recruit a group of ninjas with sealing skills from the ninja army to help."

Namikaze Minato: "The empire in the world of Akame Ga Kill has not been completely subdued. Is it appropriate to recruit ninjas at this time?"

Lucas: "Really? That's fine, I'll work harder by myself!"

Golden Lion Shiki: "Shihahaha! I'm going too! I also want to see how powerful these so-called monsters are."

Lo Pei: "Some of these monsters and ghosts appeared in ancient books, while many were unheard of. I didn't know how they suddenly appeared, but now I understands that 80% of them were probably created by that Jiang Ye boy."

Lucas: "Don't worry, I will solve them one by one."

EAST ASIA:

A monster that looked like a lizard was fighting fiercely with a monster that resembled a bull.

The lizard monster was agile, with sharp fangs and claws. It opened its mouth and spewed out a massive burst of high-temperature flames, bombarding the bull-shaped monster.

The bull-shaped monster was not to be outdone. When it raised its hand, the earth roared, and huge rocks flew out, directly tearing through the surging flames and smashing into the lizard monster heavily.

From a large tree in the distance, blue mist suddenly appeared. Lucas stepped out of it and watched the battle between the two monsters from a distance.

Lo Pei: "These two must have absorbed the demonic energy of the Demon of Fire and the Demon of Earth, which is why they've transformed like this."

Senju Tobirama: "I wanted to ask, what exactly is demonic chi? From your previous conversations, it's not pure magic, right?"

Lucas: "How to explain it? You can think of it as an upgraded version of Chakra."

Uchiha Madara: "An upgraded version of Chakra?"

Lucas: "That's right! According to Chi magic, the root of life is the inner essence of body and soul. Every living being is an extension of Chi, a mixture of body energy and spiritual energy."

Senju Hashirama: "Chakra is also the product of combining spiritual energy and physical energy, but why do you say that chi is an upgraded version of Chakra?"

Lucas: " Hashirama! If you inject your own Chakra into Uchiha Madara, what will happen to him?"

Senju Hashirama: "There shouldn't be any changes, right? His Chakra is not weaker than mine, though mine is more abundant."

Lucas: "That's right! Using someone else's Chakra won't bring you much change. But if you inject your own chi into Uchiha Madara..."

Senju Hashirama: "What would happen?"

Lucas: "Uchiha Madara will develop aspects of your Sage Body, and even his character will begin to change to resemble yours."

Senju Tobirama: "No way?"

Golden Lion Shiki: "So amazing?"

Whitebeard: "Ancient power! It seems this chi is truly mighty. It can affect anyone?"

Lucas: "That's right! If the strong receive the chi of the weak, the influence will be very limited or even nonexistent. But if the weak receive the chi of the strong, the weak will transform toward the strong, both mentally and physically."

Lo Pei: "That's right! The two monsters fighting below should be just ordinary people. But they obtained demon chi by chance, so they transformed into demons."

Sebastian Shaw: "Are the abilities and bodies they now possess demonic?"

Lucas: "That's right! These are two minor fire demons and earth demons, and their original consciousness may have been suppressed."

Howard Stark: "There should be no such hidden dangers in the demonic chi absorbed by the Group Leader, right? I remember you saying it's not a problem for you."

Lucas: "Correct! I have evolved demonic chi with black magic, retaining the properties that enhance my body and soul, while removing the mutations they would cause me."

Pirate King Roger: "Group Leader, can you let me fight these two minor demons?"

Lucas: "No problem! There are two of them—who else wants to try?"

Uchiha Madara: "I'll take on that fire demon! By the way, what are the eight demons?"

Lo Pei: "Heaven, earth, water, fire, wind, thunder, moon, and mountain—eight different demons corresponding to different natural elements, each possessing different magical properties."

IN THE OUTSIDE WORLD:

Lucas opened the world channel. Roger and Uchiha Madara appeared and, without a word, attacked the demon vessels who were fighting fiercely.

"Roar~"

"Kill!"

After being attacked by Uchiha Madara and Roger, the two demons corrupted by demonic chi suddenly let out angry roars.

"Fire Style—Great Fire Annihilation!"

Uchiha Madara looked at the fire demon before him, and when he opened his mouth, blazing fire spewed forth.

Not to be outdone, the fire demon also unleashed a sea of fire, fighting against Uchiha Madara's flames.

"Oh?"

Uchiha Madara: "The scale of this fire demon's flames is not as large as mine, but the quality of his fire seems very high!"

Lucas: "Of course! This is demon fire corresponding to one of the Eight Trigrams. This kind of fire contains magical energy. You can think of it as similar to the Fire Style Chakra in the Ninja World."

BOOM!

Just as Uchiha Madara competed with the fire demon, Roger, the Pirate King, was already waving his sword with excitement as he fought with the earth demon.

The earth demon had the ability to control the earth element. With a wave of its hand, boulders struck at Roger one after another. Not only that, its body, transformed by demonic energy, was also extremely powerful, able to resist the slashing of Roger's sharp sword.

Pirate King Roger: "How can this guy's body be so strong? It feels stronger than Charlotte Linlin's iron bones, and it's comparable to Kaido."

Lo Pei: "Only magic can defeat magic. Such conventional attacks cannot destroy a demon's body."

Lucas: "Without a magical attack, it's really hard to destroy a demon's body."

In the original future, the soul of the Demon Sorcerer Shendu was summoned from the netherworld with dragon powers, and made a new body with magic. With such a body, he resisted the attacks of various modern weapons in Section 13 unscathed.

Golden Lion Shiki: "Although this demon's body is sturdy and terrifying, its magical power to control the earth is nothing special! What it can do, my Float-Float Fruit ability can also accomplish."

Lucas: "Does your Float-Float Fruit ability allow you to escape and build a palace underground?"

Golden Lion Shiki: "The earth demon has that ability too? I really can't do that. But my Float-Float Fruit ability can control other things as well, which is more versatile than the earth demon's power."

Pirate King Roger: "It's useless to control more things—the key is your combat power. Charlotte Linlin, that woman who controls flames and lightning, what good does it do her? Her real combat power comes from her powerful body. These demons are the same type as Charlotte Linlin."

Lucas: "That's not necessarily true! The eight demons are not all the same type, and there are differences between them. Some demons have powerful bodies with abilities that are only auxiliary; some demons have ordinary bodies and rely on abilities and magic."

The eight great demons were all monsters naturally raised and spawned by black energy. But they were not the same, and there was a huge gap between them.

Like the Mountain Demon and the Earth Demon, they corresponded to mountains and earth—their bodies were strong and sturdy, and their abilities were only auxiliary for them.

Like Sky Demons and Water Demons, they corresponded to sky and water—their bodies were relatively weak, so naturally they didn't focus on physical skills, but studied abilities and magic.

The Fire Demon, Wind Demon, Thunder Demon, and Moon Demon corresponded to powerful natural elements—their bodies were as good as their abilities, and they belonged to the balanced development type.

Lucas introduced the eight demons to the spirits in the chat group, but the battle outside was getting more and more intense. Both sides had strong defenses and tenacious vitality, and the fight seemed almost endless.

The Earth Demon's impervious body and the Fire Demon's resilient form couldn't be easily destroyed. Meanwhile, Uchiha Madara and Roger had Susanoo and Armament Haki respectively, plus their immortal bodies of reincarnation.

After watching the excitement for a while, Lucas couldn't help but use black magic. A purple light was released from his hand and landed directly on the two demon vessels.

The purple energy wrapped around them like swords and roses, then flew out and landed in front of Lucas, delivering magical power to him. The demon vessels, now without demonic spirits, quickly reverted to ordinary people.
