Chapter 2656: Qi Mu Nanxiong! I Am Not Bald Joined? The Great Masters Are Gathered!

Kōnan's words were very serious.

Fallen Angel Twelve-Winged Black Cat Clan: "I think the same!"

Although the black cat desperately wanted to join Su Han on the mission, she knew this was not the time to act on impulse.

If one's strength doesn't even reach the Second Class, then even if one secures the mission… going would only be a burden.

Tony Is Not the Richest: "... Actually, I feel that if the enemy can truly trouble the President, even sending Second Class members probably won't help."

Tony Is Not the Richest: "Only the top-tier masters of the First Class in the guild... might barely keep up with the President's pace."

White Hu Zi Old Man: "..."

En Da Gu: "... Is this really that realistic?"

Kōsaka Kyōsuke: "Terrifying! Even Second Class masters have become weaklings in the guild now?"

Kōsaka Kyōsuke's expression was extremely vivid.

He thought of his own strength, which didn't even qualify as Third Class... and was utterly crushed! I Am a Hou Jue: "Hmph! Let's see what the President decides."

Su Xiao Xiao: "Those of Second Class and above—prepare to compete for the mission!"

Su Han spoke concisely.

After silently counting several numbers in his mind, he suddenly sent a message.

Su Xiao Xiao: "Official competition for the mission begins now!"

"Ding! Guild President Su Xiao Xiao, White Hu Zi Old Man, I Am Not Bald, Qi Mu Nanxiong have successfully joined this mission."

Kikyo: "..."

Yukinoshita Yukino: "The participants for this mission... should we call it unexpected yet reasonable?"

White Hu Zi Old Man: "... So I actually secured this mission? What a pleasant surprise! Gura-lala."

I Am a Hou Jue: "It's only natural—there are only so many strong ones in this guild tier... and I've already claimed a mission before!"

I Am a Hou Jue: "Even with confidence in my luck, I never thought I could win two missions in a row."

The old marquis felt a pang of disappointment—after all, the reward for this mission—three seconds of realm advancement—was too tempting... though this disappointment lasted only a few breaths.

The old marquis quickly adjusted his mindset and regained his composure.

Hōjō Shinnosuke: "... Is it just me who noticed that two First Class masters were selected for this mission?"

Hōjō Shinnosuke clicked his tongue, his expression complex.

Tu Shan Hong Hong: "No... you're wrong. Actually, there are three First Class masters."

Fallen Angel Twelve-Winged Black Cat Clan: "Yes! The Demon Lord is also a First Class being."

Hōjō Shinnosuke: "... Alright, right."

Hōjō Shinnosuke rubbed his temples, slightly exasperated.

He suddenly realized one thing... although Su Han usually displayed his strength, many guild members had deliberately separated him from the First Class.

But in reality... even though he was far stronger than ordinary First Class masters, he still fell within that category.

After all, the term "First Class" is not a fixed standard of strength.

It is merely a label for the guild's top-tier experts versus second-tier ones.

Moreover, as time passes and the guild's overall strength grows, the power of those in the First Class is rising at an astonishing rate.

Su Xiao Xiao: "Prepare to join the mission, everyone!"

Qi Mu Nanxiong: "I've made all necessary preparations!"

I Am Not Bald: "... The last time I fought the President, it was the most powerless battle I've ever had."

I Am Not Bald: "I unleashed my full attack, yet the President effortlessly negated every single one—just like when I was still an ordinary person, punching cotton with all my might."

I Am Not Bald: "Even now, recalling that battle still makes my blood boil!"

I Am Not Bald: "That's why I've trained hard recently—I've grown much stronger... President, after this mission ends, I'd like to fight you again... is that alright?"

Su Xiao Xiao: "I look forward to it!"

Altair: "..."

Erza: "... Um... is it my imagination, or does Yū Qiyu's emotion seem far richer than what was shown in the memory replica?"

Hōrai-san Kiyoko: "Didn't he say himself? He was severely crushed by the President. His lack of emotion isn't so much a result of breaking the gene lock... but rather a side effect of being invincibly strong."

Hōrai-san Kiyoko: "But now he's not invincible anymore—his emotions have returned, haven't they?"

Hōrai-san Kiyoko claimed she had seen through everything.

"... No, you're wrong.

Mr. Yū Qiyu only regains his normal intelligence and shifts his art style when talking about the President, Qi Mu Nanxiong, and others."

He silently glanced at Yū Qiyu—now sharply defined, in battle mode, his face brimming with combat fervor—and sighed quietly.

Yukinoshita Yukino: "... From egg yolk art style to battle manga style?"

Sōbaka Taiga: "Now that you mention it, I instantly pictured it... after all, the memory replica left a deep impression!"

Su Xiao Xiao: "Enough idle chatter, everyone..."

Su Xiao Xiao: "See you in another world!"

Qi Mu Nanxiong: "Alright. See you later."

Su Han opened his eyes and brought his state to peak condition.

Then, he clicked "Join Mission" in his mind.

Brilliant light swirled around his body.

In an instant, Su Han vanished from his original spot.

... Meanwhile, in the merged world with Marvel.

At this moment, Tony Stark sat at the head of the meeting table in the Avengers Alliance building.

Beside him stood Captain America, Dr. Banner, Black Widow, and others.

Wolverine sat lazily on the floor, leaning against the floor-to-ceiling window.

Shou gazed helplessly at Wolverine.

Magneto coldly stared at Shou.

"It looks like... this time the problem is huge."

Captain America Steve furrowed his brow tightly.

If Tony Stark had merely summoned the Chouzhelian Alliance members, it might still have been merely an Earth-bound matter... but since even the top powerhouses among mutants have been called over... the situation is far from as simple as it appears.

This very likely means yet another cosmic invader has invaded! After all, although the worlds merged, ordinary people now carry memories of the other world in their minds.

But true top powerhouses, the destined protagonists, are unaffected by the world fusion... thus, the top mutants—such as Professor and Magneto—bear an inexplicable rift with Chouzhelian Alliance members who lack memories of the mutant world.
