Chapter 552

This shows that their will and faith are very firm; force can only destroy them, not conquer them.

Second, he wants to have more time alone with Ying Li.

Before meeting Ying Li, Su Quan's utilitarianism was very strong, and his purpose was not pure.

First, it was the lingering resentment over her fate; second, she has the power of the Great Protector and can use the Ten Rings, making her a quite powerful combat force.

Finally, she is very beautiful and is the bond representing Ta Lo; taking her in is equivalent to firmly tying Ta Lo to his war chariot.

Once he handles the Time Variance Authority, whether he has them act as Time Keepers or deal with the frequent multiverse wars of the future, they can play a huge role.

As an aside, Su Quan is crazily recruiting people in the DC and Marvel worlds, which seems redundant; after all, with his strength, he doesn't seem to need any subordinates at all.

But once the Sacred Timeline is broken and the 'script' forcibly set by He Who Remains disappears, the development of the multiverse is highly likely to shift from 【Movie Universe】 to 【Comic Universe.】

At that time, all kinds of big shots will appear on stage, and events that destroy the world and the multiverse will emerge one after another; without subordinates, how can you play!

A commander without an army only has two results: either be busy killing all invaders every day, losing your own life; or stay in a corner, out of sight, out of mind.

But the problem is, even if you don't want to intervene in events of this level, others won't let you go.

You go to war, the entire faction is trampled by you, but there is one place where people want to leave each other alone; would you agree?

Impossible!

They will only treat you as a thorn in their side!

Treat you as a nail house, trying every possible way to eradicate and drive you away.

Can Su Quan take this kind of treatment?

Not wanting to lose his life and not wanting to be bullied, the only way is to actively build a faction and become the largest, or even the only, faction.

In this way, even if a war occurs, there will be subordinates to solve it.

For example, in ancient times, if there was an invasion at the border, no matter how powerful the Emperor was, he couldn't solve it alone on horseback, right?

Is this being an Emperor, or being a nanny?

Getting off track, back to the present.

Before meeting Ying Li, Su Quan's utilitarianism was very strong; after meeting Ying Li, especially after interacting with her, he found that Ying Li is indeed very charming.

She has many virtues of traditional Eastern women, and at the same time, her personality is also very likable.

Perhaps because he is surrounded by Westerners, he has also become accustomed to the personality, style, values, and logic of Westerners; now, suddenly coming into contact with Ying Li, who has a pure and ancient Eastern style, Su Quan is indeed a bit fascinated.

Speaking of Easterners, it's not that Su Quan doesn't have them around him.

For example, Shado from the Green Arrow multiverse is Eastern, but her values are actually very close to Westerners, and she speaks English fluently.

"Hmm?"

During the sparring, they brushed past each other again, but this time the two didn't meet eyes; instead, they turned their heads toward the bamboo forest with great tacit understanding.

The wind whistled, and a rumbling sound came from the bamboo forest.

A few seconds later.

A behemoth rushed out of the bamboo forest and appeared before the two.

This is a man.

To be precise, this is an extremely tall and fat man; his clothing and figure give a feeling of a sumo wrestler.

"Where is the entrance to Ta Lo?"

As soon as he spoke, it was standard Chinese.

"Leave, don't look for trouble, you are not welcome here," Ying Li said coldly.

"You might not know who I am," the newcomer said proudly and conceitedly: "I come from K'un-Lun's sister city, the Capital of the Immortals, Peng Lai, and I am the Immortal Weapon of Peng Lai, the Cobra."

Cobra?

Come, come, with your pig-king-like figure, tell me, where do you look like a cobra?

Is there such a fat cobra?

Seeming to feel the skeptical gazes of Su Quan and Ying Li, he added another sentence: "Everyone calls me Fat Cobra."

Yeah, that's right!

"Cobra or Fat Cobra, it's all the same; you are not welcome here," Ying Li's attitude didn't change because of his self-introduction.

Fat Cobra was quite straightforward, nodded, and prepared to start fighting.

"Be careful, the opponent has Qi similar to the power of the Great Protector."

"I will."

Ying Li responded and rushed straight toward Fat Cobra.

Start fighting directly!

"Ding!"

"Combat detected, drop reward: Qi (Fat Cobra)"

"Ding!"

"Combat detected, drop reward: 5 points"

Su Quan, who had retreated to the side to watch the battle, sensed Fat Cobra's Qi; his Qi and the Qi of the Nine Spider-Woman and Madame Gao could be considered to be from the same source and had already merged together.

There are several Immortal Weapons in the Seven Capital Cities of Heaven, like the Iron Fist of K'un-Lun, and the Nine Spider-Woman of the City of Spiders.

Peng Lai is the external name; the corresponding name in the Seven Capital Cities of Heaven is the City of Turtles, and the Immortal Weapon here is the Cobra.

Iron Fist, Nine Spider-Woman, Cobra—these are all names shared by generations of Immortal Weapons.

Honestly, Su Quan was quite surprised that Fat Cobra would appear here; after all, he has the inheritance of Peng Lai, and Ta Lo and Peng Lai, or rather the Seven Capital Cities of Heaven, have nothing to do with each other.

What is he doing here?

For the power of Ta Lo? Or... for the Dweller-in-Darkness?

Looking at him, he doesn't seem to have been instigated by the Dweller-in-Darkness.

Surprise is surprise, but Su Quan is not worried; after all, there have been many people who wanted to enter Ta Lo over the years.

Those who know about Ta Lo and can make it here must have some skills.

But not a single one has succeeded!

The movie didn't indicate that anyone had entered Ta Lo before Wenwu appeared.

In other words, Fat Cobra is destined to fail and is destined not to be Ying Li's match.

Speaking of which, among the seven Immortal Weapons of the Seven Capital Cities of Heaven, the only one who is truly outstandingly strong is Iron Fist.

After all, Iron Fist's power of the Great Protector is something that can wrestle with the Phoenix Force.

If Iron Fist fought Ying Li, perhaps the outcome would be hard to predict!

The others...

Even with Qi, they are just so-so; after all, Ying Li's power of the Great Protector is not given for free!

……

PS: I have something urgent to attend to and have to go out; I'm not sure what time I'll be back tonight. If I'm back early, I'll continue writing; if I'm back late, there will only be one update today, and I'll make it up later. ===== CHAPTER 554 =====
