Chapter 557: Broly Departs, Jackie Chan Adventures World Returns to Normal
Is Broly kind? If it's the kind Broly, the answer is definitely yes; but if it's the evil Broly, he might only say "what do I care"; and for Broly as a whole, he would care about the safety of the world where his friends exist.
The Sage Lord's words took effect, and Broly, who still had Time-Space Energy on him and could at least renew his stay in this world for three months, planned to leave this world when the time came.
He told this decision to Xiao Yu, and Xiao Yu immediately shouted: "Broly, don't listen to the Sage Lord spouting nonsense."
"Whether it's nonsense or not, that old man should know clearly."
Regarding this, the Sage Lord pointed at Dad and spoke; Dad's complexion was heavy. If it were before Jackie Chan found that Ancient Book and it was deciphered, and this world nearly experienced a world-ending crisis today, he definitely would not have agreed with the Sage Lord's perspective, but...
"Xiao Yu, a demon's words aren't worth believing, but on this point, the Sage Lord shouldn't have deceived us. If Broly keeps staying in this world, this world will definitely give birth to even stronger Black Qi enemies, and the struggle between Righteous Qi and Black Qi is destined to let many people be innocently caught in the crossfire."
Dad looked at the ordinary people rescued inside the Rocket Base; if not for the White Shadow Shinobi, many people would probably have lost their lives because of this.
"Long Shu."
Xiao Yu looked at Jackie Chan with a pleading gaze.
"There's no feast that doesn't end; Broly has been away from his home for so long, he definitely has to go back too."
Jackie Chan placed his hand on his niece's shoulder, yet also spoke to comfort her.
"Right, Broly, you're not going to cut off all contact once you go back, are you?"
He looked at the green-haired Saiyan boy and asked.
"Mm, I can come back, just need some travel expenses."
Broly nodded.
"See, he's just going to a farther place; good friends might not meet often, but that doesn't mean they're not good friends anymore; true friendship won't disappear because of distance."
"Broly, I'll miss you."
Xiao Yu was somewhat reluctant, but still said it.
"No, did you guys misunderstand something?"
"What did we misunderstand? Aren't you leaving?"
"I said I'm leaving, but not leaving right now; I still have some unfinished business in this world."
Broly was a bit speechless; his remaining stay duration was still five days, yet they made it seem like he was leaving this world immediately.
"Ah, is that so?"
After the mix-up, Xiao Yu, Jackie Chan, and the others were a bit embarrassed, but still quickly asked about the things he still wanted to do.
"I told you before, I owe the Wind Demon Xiaofeng a favor; besides that, I still need to help Dad settle the matter of the other Hell Gates; and after that is inviting you, Xiao Yu, to join my Crystal Palace."
"Crystal Palace?"
"Long Shu, that's just an organization of good friends Broly formed, and I'm his good friend, so I just happen to meet the requirements to join."
Before Jackie Chan could ask further, Xiao Yu hurriedly explained; she was afraid Broly would blurt out that the Crystal Palace was a harem group; if that really happened, Long Shu and Dad would definitely treat it as something very improper, and then stop her from joining as a good friend.
"So that's how it is? Then can I join?"
"There's a gender requirement."
"That's truly a pity; but speaking of which, Broly, so you only make good friends with girls?"
"Broly, besides the above, do you still need to do anything else?"
The Saiyan boy still wanted to say something, but Xiao Yu changed the topic and asked.
"Still need to do what? Hmm, probably only claiming ownership of the Twelve Talismans is left."
Currently the Twelve Talismans are in Broly's hands, but strictly speaking, District 13 still retains nominal custody rights over these Talismans.
Admittedly, the Talismans District 13 kept were stolen, and Broly retrieved the Talismans from the counterfeits and from the Sage Lord and the others; he can completely assert ownership of the Twelve Talismans.
But, District 13 is at least the organization that feeds him in this world, and his personal relationship with Chief Black isn't bad either.
So, Broly decided this matter had to be discussed with Chief Black.
"I feel Chief Black won't agree; he's always thought District 13 is the safest place in this world."
Jackie Chan understands his old classmate.
"Then we just need to make that big bald head clearly know that District 13 isn't some safe place, and that keeping the Talismans will only bring endless trouble to this world; he'll definitely change his mind then!"
Dad said.
"I'll help persuade him."
Xiao Yu raised her hand.
Persuading Chief Black was even simpler than imagined; after understanding the Yin-Yang Balance Theory, he quickly agreed.
"If the Talismans will bring us trouble, then we should discard this trouble; before there was nowhere to throw this trouble, but now, I think Broly you can solve this trouble, right?"
"I guarantee it; and if you have any need to use the Talismans in the future, you can also retrieve the Talismans from a Special Space of mine through Xiao Yu."
"Eh, that Special Space you mentioned can store Talismans without letting them affect this world's Yin-Yang Balance?"
"It can, because it's a space similar to Hell, a spacetime distinct from this current world."
"Then can I use this space?"
"Very regrettable, probably only Xiao Yu has the qualification to use it in this world."
Chief Black showed a regretful expression, then invited Xiao Yu: "Xiao Yu, can I hire you as District 13's logistics personnel for keeping the Talismans?"
"Eh, Chief Black you want to hire me?"
"I think Jackie Chan won't refuse; I'm hiring his niece for a safe administrator job."
Xiao Yu was appointed as Talisman Administrator.
"Hey, you can't go back on your word; you promised me you'd let me break free from the Sage Lord this demon's control."
Walong and the other Black Hand Gang members were brought to this side of District 13 and imprisoned; now they're shouting loudly inside the detention room.
"Boss, the food here is way tastier than prison food."
La Su is a bit carefree, eating District 13's prison food with peace of mind.
"Can't you be a little more patient?"
The Saint Lord only found Walong noisy; after learning Broly planned to leave this world, this evil dragon had already mentally prepared to wait for the other party to leave before acting.
"That old liar!"
Walong cursed aloud, and then footsteps approached this side.
"Old Dad isn't a liar; does concocting magic medicine not require time?"
Old Dad arrived at the front of the cell, and spoke to Walong inside with some dissatisfaction.
"Ah, hometown... hmm, Master, do you have a way to expel the Saint Lord from my body now?"
Walong originally wanted to say 'old geezer,' but thinking that he needed the other party's help, he still hurriedly changed his words, looking at Old Dad with hopeful eyes.
"Old Dad isn't certain, so right now he's just coming over to try; lean your head against the door frame, Old Dad will apply the potion to you now."
"Useless, old geezer; my soul has been imposed with a possession curse by the other demons. If I don't manage to release them from Hell, I fundamentally cannot break free from Walong's body."
The magic medicine was applied; the Saint Lord grimaced in some pain, but showed not the slightest sign of leaving Walong's body, and He did not conceal the situation, directly telling of the possession curse the other demons had imposed on Him.
"Hmph, I just don't believe it; you wait for Old Dad."
Old Dad left in a huff; he decided to go search for a new righteous qi talisman.
"Old Dad, how is it? Was the Saint Lord gotten out?"
On the road back, Old Dad ran into Broly and Xiao Yu; Xiao Yu asked about the situation.
"Not at all..."
Old Dad shook his head, but did explain the Saint Lord's condition.
"Then I have a way."
After hearing it, Broly spoke up.
"What way do you have?"
Old Dad was actually somewhat surprised.
"Broly, Old Dad reminds you: the Horse Talisman is useless. Some curses in this world cannot all be removed with the Horse Talisman. For example, the sealing curse Po Kong once imposed on the Saint Lord, and for example, the possession curse the other demons currently imposed on the Saint Lord's soul. If the Horse Talisman were truly useful, the Saint Lord would not have failed to use the Horse Talisman to remove it."
"No, I'm not talking about the Horse Talisman. I'm saying: if we directly follow the method for removing the possession curse on Him, and use it to help Him leave Walong's body, wouldn't that work?
Conveniently, Old Dad, aren't you also wanting to solve the other demons' Shen Yu Zhi Men problem? Release the demons, then stuff the demons back in."
"Ah, so there's still this move."
However, this move isn't something just anyone can pull off; it's precisely because Broly possesses strength more formidable than the Eight Great Demons that he can do this.
"You want to help me undo the other demons' seal?"
"Yes, but you must exchange your Shen Yu Zhi Men usage rights; I want to use your gate to release Xiao Feng."
"No problem; our purposes align; this is exactly what I want; pleasant cooperation."
The Saint Lord in the cell, and Broly outside the cell, shook hands; He with the crimson gaze didn't know what He was thinking.
Over the next few days, Broly, Xiao Yu, and the others began researching the Pangu Treasure Box; unlike the Black Hand Gang who solved it by luck, Xiao Yu and Old Dad had long known the puzzles on the Pangu Treasure Box, and very easily found the sealing grounds of the Earth Demon, Sky Demon, and Water Demon.
These demons were released one by one, but they merely went out for a breath of air, and then were thrown back into Hell one by one by Broly.
"Welcome back, Ba Sha."
The Water Demon, wanting to use water transformation to escape, was directly trapped in a cage condensed from Broly's Qi; the other party also failed to become a fish that slipped through the net.
"As I said before, Broly's power has already exceeded the original upper limit of the outside world. We Eight Great Demons are now unworthy of being the characters Black Qi uses to deal with him. Going out, we would only be like cannon fodder, easily trampled by the powerful opponent without any power to resist, and sent back to Hell.
Hmph, before you mocked me for returning to Hell with only a soul; now why aren't you few laughing? Is this matter not funny?"
"Zhou Lan, now isn't the time for sarcastic remarks; do we really have no way to escape Hell?"
"None; at least currently none, unless we can become the vanguard for Black Qi condensing new Dark Ocean, only then is it possible to gain freedom."
Hearing this, the demons were incomparably dejected.
Half a day later, a new Shen Yu Zhi Men opened again.
It was the Saint Lord's gate, but the demons had no intention of coming out to take a beating.
"Why are no demons coming out?"
Outside, Broly used the Pangu Treasure Box to open the eighth Shen Yu Zhi Men, but discovered that after opening the gate, there was no movement inside for a long time.
"Perhaps my brothers and sisters haven't noticed; you wait, I'll contact them in Hell right now!"
When opening the Saint Lord's gate, the Saint Lord lied that He also needed to be present; now He at the scene directly used the Sealing Ground Amusement Park's glass to cast magic and contact the demons in Hell.
"Saint Lord, you still dare show your face before us?"
And toward the Saint Lord's contact, the other demons were extremely dissatisfied.
"Brothers and sisters, this isn't my fault; the Pangu Treasure Box was snatched away; I fundamentally couldn't snatch it back."
"Cut the crap; what do you want by contacting us?"
"I opened another gate in Hell; right now only Xiao Feng hasn't come out; I want to let Xiao Feng out."
"Heh, as expected, you traitor; you just want to undo the possession curse on yourself."
The demons aren't fools; they quickly realized the situation that the Saint Lord and Broly might be cooperating.
"Xiao Feng, if you choose to go out, you'll likely just get beaten by Broly outside, then sealed back in. You must not fall for it. We must stand on the same battle line. We in Hell have it bad; we can't let the Saint Lord in the mortal world have it easy either. Let Him die in a mortal's body!"
Xiao Feng was originally somewhat hesitant, but hearing the talk of standing on the same battle line, he thought of these guys sacrificing themselves simultaneously.
"Screw you guys; I'd rather go out and take a beating than stand on the same battle line with you bunch of stinking worms."
In Hell, Xiao Feng decisively stepped into the Saint Lord's Shen Yu Zhi Men; before leaving he didn't forget to take the food Broly had left for him earlier, which he hadn't finished eating.
Outside, the Shen Yu Zhi Men twisted violently; Xiao Feng squeezed out, and he had already prepared to do battle with Broly.
But what greeted him was not the Saiyan boy's heavy fist, but the Saiyan boy's welcome: "Welcome to freedom, Xiao Feng. I said I would repay you."
"You're not going to drive me back to Hell?"
"No; Broly is only responsible for letting you out. As for whether you'll be driven back to Hell, that depends on whether you're willing to be the demon who balances the world's yin and yang forces."
Father stepped forward and explained the situation to Xiao Feng.
"In other words, this world needs an evil villain actor who looks bad but isn't actually bad; if you can act as this role, then you can stay in this world for a long time."
Xiao Yu repeated it in even simpler and easier-to-understand words.
"Just like that, then, I think I can."
Xiao Feng thought for a moment, then transformed into human form and agreed to the actor conditions proposed by Father and the others.
At the same time, He thanked Broly for letting Him out: "My brothers and sisters are all trash guys, but only you, Broly, are my true friend!"
"You're welcome."
Just as the two shook hands, a virtual shadow dragon secretly slipped behind Broly.
"Your body belongs to me!"
The Holy Lord completed releasing all demons; He lifted the confinement of the possession curses placed on Him by other demons, but did not sneak away after lifting the confinement, because He believed the black Qi would help Him seize Broly's body.
The Holy Lord went up, then He fell; Broly's body was like an iron plate, causing the charging Holy Lord in soul state to crash into a daze.
"Why?"
No one could answer the Holy Lord's question, while Father, who had long been on guard against the Holy Lord, upon seeing the Holy Lord actually sneak attack Broly, pulled out Lu Dongbin's divine token long sword.
Reciting the "Demons and Monsters Quickly Leave" incantation in His mouth, magic power struck the Holy Lord's soul, causing the closed Shen Yu Zhi Men to open again and suck the Holy Lord back into Hell.
Thus, Broly completed repaying Xiao Feng, helping Father settle the demon Shen Yu Zhi Men, and obtaining all matters regarding the Twelve Talismans.
When the stay duration reached the countdown of half an hour, Broly formally issued an invitation to Xiao Yu, who carried the Twelve Talismans: "Xiao Yu, are you willing to join the Crystal Palace as a friend?"
Xiao Yu received a prompt, and her answer was beyond doubt: "Of course."
As the girl agreed, the 103 Happiness Value on her multiplied by thirteen then multiplied by a hundred, transforming into 133900 Happiness Points, entering Broly's Happiness Points Account.
Using the remaining time, teaching Xiao Yu to use the Crystal Palace's various functions, introducing this good friend of non-wife identity to the other wives in the group chat room, Broly left this world.
It was also right after Broly left this world that a biological research organization picked up mysterious Great Ape hair near the ruins of the Florida Rocket Base.
Because of an intern researcher's carelessness, the green hair originally serving as a research sample was lost, causing the birth possibility of the Clone Evil Broly — a more powerful dark individual that would have been conceived in this world's future by black Qi through the hands of biological research organization personnel — to directly disappear.
Yin-Yang Balance; Broly's departure caused this world's power level to return to its original level.
Even because the Twelve Talismans were thrown into the Crystal Palace Space and disappeared from this world, it allowed, in the aftermath, Xiao Feng — who was almost acting as the black Qi side's actor player — to continue existing in this world.
And Xiao Yu later finding Xiao Feng to shoot Larry's movie and becoming a minor celebrity belongs to an afterword.
