Chapter 549

Inside the Black Hand Gang's new base, the Fake Brothers drove a truck carrying a large wooden crate in.

As the crate was unloaded, the nails on top were removed, and the lid crashed to the ground.

A lifelike statue of a Saiyan boy appeared before the Holy Lord.

"How is it, Customer? Our brothers have even carved the details of the clothes perfectly."

"Very good."

The Holy Lord looked at the exquisite statue before him with great satisfaction, waving his hand to have Zhou pay the remaining money to the two.

"For this useless statue, you actually spent two hundred thousand US dollars of mine?"

Walong was very dissatisfied with this.

"The money isn't wasted; this is exactly the secret weapon I'm preparing to deal with Broly."

"So, Holy Lord, what exactly do you want to do? First you have my people infiltrate District 13 to steal talismans, then you spend a fortune making a statue of your enemy."

"The Rat Talisman possesses the power to bring the inanimate to life. I intend to make this statue move."

The Holy Lord replied.

"Are you crazy? You can't even handle one Broly, and now you actually want to create a second one?"

Walong felt the Holy Lord had a screw loose.

"An inanimate object activated by the Rat Talisman won't listen to us. I still remember King Nomi's flamethrower!"

La Su recalled the past, when they fought Jackie Chan over the Rat Talisman; back then, King Nomi (a super-sized toy) activated by the Rat Talisman caused a huge ruckus in that square.

"So, some spells in the Fu Shu Dazuan are necessary. If I hadn't retrieved those spells, I wouldn't have thought of making a Fake Broly. And as long as I cast spells on this statue in advance, I'm confident I can control the Fake Broly after the Rat Talisman activates this statue."

Saying this, the Holy Lord directly cast a spell on the Broly statue.

"But since you can control the inanimate statue activated by the Rat Talisman, why not choose a more powerful character to activate?"

Walong asked doubtfully.

"Broly is very strong; that guy is the strongest creature I've ever seen."

The Holy Lord answered, evaluating Broly from the perspective of one of the Eight Great Demons.

"Then you can simply fabricate a fictional character capable of instantly killing him!"

Walong said with a wild imagination.

"Stupid Goods, do you think the Rat Talisman's power to bring the inanimate to life is omnipotent, able to conjure an incredibly powerful fictional existence out of thin air?"

"Isn't it?"

"Of course not. The power the Rat Talisman bestows upon inanimate objects is influenced by two aspects: first, the magic power possessed by the user of the Rat Talisman themselves; second, how the inanimate object given the power of movement is perceived by the masses in the outside world."

"What do you mean?"

Walong didn't quite understand.

"In other words, the clearer the public's perception of the inanimate object given the power of movement by the Rat Talisman, the closer that object will be to the public's perception of it."

"For example, god and Buddha statues worshipped in temples—even if they don't actually exist—will, due to people's shared perception of them, directly possess great magic power equal to their own legends after being activated by the Rat Talisman."

"Conversely, if the character is completely fictional and the outside world lacks sufficient knowledge of them, it depends on the power of the person using the Rat Talisman."

"The upper limit of the power the Rat Talisman grants inanimate objects to bring the inanimate to life will be restricted by the user's own power."

"That is to say, I cannot rely on the Rat Talisman to create an existence stronger than myself; at most, I can create an inanimate individual of the same strength as me."

The Holy Lord explained with his mouth while his hands didn't stop, dipping a brush into magic potion and drawing on the Broly statue.

"So, is this statue very famous among the masses in the outside world, or are you, Holy Lord, full of confidence in your own strength?"

Walong asked in a somewhat sarcastic tone; he hadn't forgotten that when the Holy Lord controlled his own body to fight Broly, he was basically the one getting beaten.

"Neither. I have another way to allow this statue, after being given the power of movement, to possess power greater than mine."

After speaking, the Holy Lord began chanting. Only then did Walong and the Black Hand Gang members watching nearby hear him explain.

The Holy Lord took the opportunity to pick up the Dragon Talisman from the table beside him and stuff it in, then explained to Walong and the Black Hand Gang members watching nearby.

"The Dragon Talisman originates from my own zodiac talismans. Besides amplifying the power of my Dragon Flame, it also has a hidden trait: infinite energy."

"Now, I've stuffed it into this statue as its core power source. Once this statue is brought to life, it will possess infinite energy."

"This will allow this statue to have strength close to the real Broly, no longer limited by my own strength as the user of the Rat Talisman."

"But even so, a counterfeit infinitely close to the genuine article is still a counterfeit, right? It would still be hard to beat the genuine Broly, right?"

"Who said a counterfeit definitely can't beat the genuine article? With the help of other talismans, anything is possible!"

The Holy Lord continued chanting, embedding the Ox Talisman on the statue's arms to grant it the trait of limitless strength, and stuffing the Rabbit Talisman into the statue's legs to grant it the trait of unmatched swiftness.

The back is the Chicken, flying very fast; the eyes are the Pig, with intimidating electric eyes; the side waist is the Snake, capable of invisibility at any time; the Horse is on the right side of the chest, corresponding to the Dragon on the left side of the chest; the Dog is in the stomach, immortal and indestructible; as for the Sheep, Monkey, and Tiger talismans, they are useless.

"And this is the last talisman, the Rat."

When the Holy Lord placed the last Rat Talisman into the statue's body, the statue before him emitted an extremely dazzling light.

La Su hid behind A Fu, while Afeng and Zhou hid behind him. A Fu was also a bit frightened, but still crossed his arms and stood motionless in place.

The statue's stone turned into flesh and blood. Fake Broly twisted his neck, making click-clack sounds. He looked around and asked the people before him: "Where is this? How did I get here? Who are you?"

"This is our secret base. The reason you're here is because I brought you, who was sealed, here. As for who I am, you can call me Holy Lord. I am the master... uh, friend who unsealed your seal."

The Holy Lord originally wanted to say master, but when he secretly activated the control spell to try to control the Fake Broly before him, he found that the power of the control spell seemed to be resisted, causing him to change his words instantly.

"Friend? Do we know each other?"

Fake Broly was somewhat confused, and in his mind right now he only knew his own name; beyond that, everything was a blur.

"Of course, your name is Broly."

The Holy Lord said enthusiastically, while cursing in his heart.

【Damn Horse Talisman!】

That thing seemed to have offset the control spell he had buried in the sculpture.

"Do you know my situation?"

【However, it seems it hasn't been completely offset.】

「Saint Lord, you won't crash, right? 」

Stared at by Fake Broly with scorching gaze, Walong vaguely felt his cheeks ache, the feeling from before being beaten by Genuine Broly that he remembered.

「Crash, no, everything is under my control! 」

Saint Lord stepped forward, very polite, and said to Fake Broly: 「My friend, you just had your seal lifted, you must still have many doubts, and your memories might be a bit blurry.

But it's fine, I'll answer them one by one, come over here. 」

La Su, Afeng, you guys hurry up and prepare some food to entertain my friend! 」

Hearing there was food, Fake Broly's eyes brightened, and his good impression of Saint Lord greatly increased.

。。。。

「Broly, why are the White Shadow Shinobi I summoned so few, while yours are so many? 」

「That's because my Qi is more, so there are more. 」

「Broly, why can't I summon White Shadow Shinobi at night? 」

「This is a special summoning jutsu I made using the Black Shadow Corps template, just reversing the dark power inside and using the power of light instead.

Just like Black Shadow Corps must be summoned in shadows, White Shadow Corps must be in brightness to be summoned.

You're in a pitch-black room at night, of course you can't summon them. 」

「Ah, then this move can only be used during the day? 」

「No, you can turn on the lights, as long as there's a lit environment, any light will do. 」

「So from now on I have to carry a flashlight to summon White Shadow Shinobi anytime? 」

「Mm. 」

「Compared to Black Shadow Corps, which only needs a shadow environment to summon, you're really troublesome. 」

「It is a bit troublesome, but there are benefits too, that is, White Shadow Shinobi in a lit environment, each individual's battle power is stronger than each individual Black Shadow Shinobi. 」

……

Broly spent these two days teaching Xiao Yu about the summoning method of White Shadow Corps.

During this time, Xiao Yu helped think of the White Shadow Corps emblem.

Of course, this process also had suggestions from Old Man and Jackie Chan and them.

And an artistic signature【Cloth】character became the White Shadow Corps emblem pattern.

「Writing an artistic signature Kanji on the back of the hand is always better than some strange patterns.

Xiao Yu, you don't want to go back to Hong Kong for New Year and be seen by your dad and mom as a bad kid with a tattoo on the back of your hand, right? 」

Jackie Chan's words were very persuasive, making Xiao Yu, who still wanted to think of cool patterns, give up using patterns other than text as the emblem.

And text emblems were always better than Broly wanting to use food as the emblem pattern.

「Broly, Xiao Yu, you two don't keep summoning ninjas randomly, Old Man's antique shop is just this big, if more ninjas appear, there won't even be a place to walk. 」

Of course, while practicing White Shadow Shinobi summoning, it also brought some trouble to Old Man.

「Broly, I think we need to find a more spacious and less crowded place to practice White Shadow Corps summoning. 」

「Xiao Yu, do you have any recommendations? 」

「I don't, but Sheriff Black might, we can go find him. 」

Broly and Xiao Yu went together to this side of District 13, and after learning the two needed a place to practice summoning magic, Sheriff Black really had a good recommendation.

「You can go to the private island bought in District 13, specially for District 13 employees' vacation, vacation while practicing your magic. 」

Sheriff Black said.

「But only Broly is a District 13 employee, and I'm not. 」

「What does that matter, my Queen Majesty, you helped District 13 a lot. (Three months of performance)」

「Sheriff Black! 」

Xiao Yu was somewhat angry, the one digging up black history again.

「Alright, no joking, Xiao Yu, I remember you're not a reserved child, right? 」

Just like that, Broly and Xiao Yu rode District 13's helicopter and were sent by Sheriff Black to District 13's overseas vacation island.

。。。。

Time moved slightly forward, when Broly and Xiao Yu walked out of the antique shop, preparing to go to District 13, on the roof of the building next to them, La Su and them brought Fake Broly to this side.

「Is that the guy who sealed me and stole my life? 」

Wearing a jacket, with black sunglasses on his face, Fake Broly looked at the boy walking with the girl below, who looked exactly like him, and asked.

「Yes, it was him who sealed you in stone, stole your identity, and injured our Boss. 」

Black Hand Gang's Afeng opened his eyes and told lies, while they all knew how it was, but Saint Lord, to make Fake Broly hostile to real Broly, made up a bizarre identity theft story last night.

The story content was roughly that Fake Broly was sealed in stone by real Broly in the past, real Broly was a thief who stole the life originally belonging to Fake Broly.

Honestly, this story was a bit absurd, sounding like it could only fool children, but whether Fake Broly was simple-minded or just had a child's mentality.

Anyway, for this pack of lies Saint Lord made up, Fake Broly, who was treated to food, actually believed it.

「Then I'll go kill that thief now? 」

With an energy bullet appearing in his hand, Fake Broly asked the Black Hand Gang members beside him for their opinion.

「No, not now. 」

Hearing this, Afeng hurriedly vetoed.

「Why? 」

【What else why, because you this talisman-wearing Fake Broly, fear most is Old Man that old man's magic that can take talismans!】

【Before coming out, Saint Lord repeatedly instructed...】

"Listen up, all of you. What the Fake Broly fears most is having the Rat Talisman inside his body taken away. Your job is to keep him away from Jackie Chan's old man, that old geezer who knows the magic to take talismans!"

"This is the urban area. If you fight here, it'll cause massive destruction, and we're not terrorists."

La Su pulled out a lame excuse.

"I see."

But the Fake Broly believed it, and directly retracted the energy bullet in his hand.

"Hey, Afeng, Zhou, this Broly sure is easy to talk to!"

The moment La Su's words fell, his chest was jabbed by the other two people with their elbows, respectively.

"Don't talk nonsense."

"Ah, Broly, where are you going?"

"Following them, seeing where they're going."

The Fake Broly tiptoed on the rooftop and easily cleared the distance between rooftop and rooftop.

"Ah, Broly, wait for us!"

Seeing this, the Black Hand Gang and the others immediately chased after them desperately from behind.

All the way they arrived at the rooftop of a building near District 13, watching the two people enter inside District 13.

Very quickly, District 13's helicopter took the two people away.

"They haven't come out yet?"

"No, they've already come out."

"Where?"

"They were taken away by that thing."

The Fake Broly pointed at the helicopter flying far away and said.

"Eh?"

"That thief is leaving the city. Looks like it's my chance to make a move."

The Fake Broly said this, then floated up and followed after them.

"Don't be impulsive, let us report to the Holy Lord first."

The Black Hand Gang and the others shouted from behind, but the Fake Broly had already flown far off, and it's unknown if he heard.

And after both the real and fake Broly left, La Su and the others hurriedly ran to contact the Holy Lord, reporting the Fake Broly's unauthorized action.

"Holy Lord, what do we do now?"

"Don't panic. The advantage is on our side. The Fake Broly with the Talisman has strength not inferior to the real Broly. Who knows, after he seeks out the real Broly, he might just directly solve the real Broly. That's also possible!"

"That cock-and-bull story you made up to deceive the Fake Broly won't be exposed by the real Broly, will it?"

Holy Lord: "..."
