Chapter 221: Behind Me Is Earth, I Have Nowhere to Retreat!

Although the Diviner Strange Tale was blasted by Black Dwarf with one punch, the strange tale does not die, or rather, as long as the underlying rules of this world do not change, the strange tale will be reborn no matter how many times it dies.

As a product of rules rooted in compromise and desperate counterattack, the strange tale underwent huge changes after being broken repeatedly. Countless scattered strange tale rules began to merge gradually.

To prevent Dormammu from forcibly descending, the entire world once built a huge rule covering the entire world. However, Dormammu did not forcibly descend, so this huge strange tale did not truly develop.

But now it is different. When various rules began to break and reorganize, this huge shell became the best attachment point. Hundreds of strange tales merged into the shell during the reorganization, and a new change began to happen here.

Hell Apartment, Johnson saw another level in a trance. In this peculiar perspective like a dream, Johnson saw another self gradually reviving, but the place of revival was no longer on the front side of this planet but on the other side.

When Johnson perceived the gradual establishment of this huge strange tale, Black Dwarf became more and more impatient. Woody's attempts had not made any good progress.

This is because the Behind-the-Scenes Master Strange Tale in Johnson's hand is completely different from the behavioral patterns of normal force leaders. To use an inappropriate metaphor, the Behind-the-Scenes Master Strange Tale naturally brings a decentralized effect.

In order to protect their own safety and maintain their own interests, the defensive power of any force leader always deepens gradually from the outside to the inside. This is also the reason why Hydra can find key figures by relying on some information. The denser the defense, the more serious the intersection of defensive power, which is generally the location of the force leader.

However, the Behind-the-Scenes Master Strange Tale is different. Every individual affected by the strange tale is both a branch of the strange tale and the strange tale itself. It has no leader at all. Johnson doesn't need the protection of these branches. After all, what he holds is just a character card. The negative effect of the strange tale has always existed. If he gets too close, the protection might turn into a murderous intent at some point.

After observing multiple monitoring points through spirituality, Woody tried to connect them, but after trying for half an hour, he finally found that it was futile.

"Did you find those guys?" Black Dwarf's patience was exhausted, and he urged Woody constantly.

The perception of a master played some negative roles at this time. Black Dwarf could always perceive the targeted monitoring from the outside. This kind of monitoring made him feel uncomfortable all over and wanted to remove it at the first time. He hadn't taken action yet just because Black Dwarf couldn't find the target person Thanos entrusted, and was waiting for Woody's progress.

"No. These monitors are probably some kind of strange tale power, which does not conform to the normal behavioral patterns I know, and cannot be analyzed for a while." Woody shook his head and replied.

"Heh, all useless work!" Black Dwarf rubbed his fists. "If you ask me, tear down this city, and if that doesn't work, kill all the guys who dare to resist. You will always find them."

Woody looked at Black Dwarf's eager-to-try appearance and narrowed his eyes slightly. "What do you want to do?"

"Do things, do what I am best at." Black Dwarf smiled cruelly. "If you have any discoveries, contact me then."

As soon as the words fell, Black Dwarf rushed out and rushed towards those monitoring points.

Listening to the huge sound of buildings collapsing outside, Woody didn't mean to stop him at all. Since they couldn't cooperate, then treat Black Dwarf as a pawn and let him go out to scout the way.

Woody knew what those hypocritical guys were thinking. They couldn't bear to see their own kind die, so they would definitely try to stop them. That was when Woody truly took action.

Black Dwarf, who was killing happily outside, could also guess Woody's thoughts, but he didn't care. He had absolute trust in his own strength. This trust led to his incomparable arrogance. As long as characters like Ancient One and Dormammu didn't appear in this world, Black Dwarf feared no one.

As the monitoring points were pulled out one by one, Johnson's perception of the other world not only didn't break, but he saw it more clearly, because the Behind-the-Scenes Master Strange Tale also poured towards that shell due to the impact, and also manifested in another space.

Where exactly is that?

Johnson tried hard to find the coordinates of that place. His intuition told him that if he wanted to pit the two enemies who appeared on the bright side to death, this newly born space must be a help. After all, everything in it, if it was hostile to Johnson, it would be a life-and-death struggle for Black Dwarf and the two of them.

In order to find that place, Johnson began to try to further accept the power of the strange tale. Spirituality surged constantly around his body, and the frequency became closer and closer to the place that was forming.

When the frequency approached to a certain extent, Johnson's body began to fade, as if it were about to be cut out of the current world.

Just at this moment, spirituality began to vibrate rapidly, issuing a deafening warning, warning Johnson that if he did this again, he would be assimilated by that new side world.

Under this warning, Johnson broke free from the state just now in a trance. The sense of reality fed back from reality dispelled the illusion and occupied the upper hand in his consciousness again.

Johnson broke out in a cold sweat on his forehead and hurriedly stopped using the strange tale. The assimilation ability of the strange tale was too strong. Just by using it deeply for more than ten minutes, he was almost no longer himself.

After returning to reality, the ringing of the mobile phone that had been ringing all the time entered Johnson's ears.

It was Lao Die's call.

"Basachang, Ren Cai has started a massacre. Countless people have died in his hands. We can't wait any longer!" Lao Die said decisively.

"Don't act rashly first. I'll be there right away!" Johnson hung up the phone, wiped his face, and rushed to the first-floor lobby.

In the lobby, Lin Fengjiao had made all preparations. What is called a race against time? It had been less than two hours since Black Dwarf left the supermarket. For Lin Fengjiao, all preparations had been completed.

After Johnson came out of the elevator, Constantine breathed a sigh of relief. He had been stopping Lao Die and Lin Fengjiao who wanted to move out just now. Constantine knew very well who was behind those people.

Don't look at Black Dwarf's reckless appearance, but in terms of combat experience and foundation, no one here can compare to that reckless man.

"You came just in time. We are going to stop him. Together or wait here?" Lin Fengjiao looked at Johnson and asked, his tone carrying a bit of questioning.

"Have you all made preparations?" Johnson looked at the two and asked.

"What can be done has been done. Lao Die has also collected the energy characteristics of the other party through Qi magic. Waiting any longer will at most consume a bit of that guy's energy. Watching life become a consumable, I can't do it!" Lin Fengjiao said righteously.

Lin Fengjiao also understood that waiting a bit longer would increase the probability of winning the battle by one point. But if he could wait, he wouldn't be the upright, demon-exorcising Lin Fengjiao.

"Lao Die, what about you?" Johnson looked at Lao Die standing to the side. Compared to Lin Fengjiao, Lao Die only had a backpack on him, and he didn't bring many things, but this was all Lao Die had.

"I have done what I can." Lao Die didn't say much. The power of the talisman was already playing a role. Lao Die had now returned to his prime. With the recovery of his body, his words and deeds had also changed a bit.

Johnson sighed. "I just discovered that the strange tales destroyed by Ren Cai have united."

"Strange tales will unite?" Connors couldn't help but speak. He had also lived here for a period of time, and those strange tales had never united.

Johnson nodded. "Ren Cai scattered too many strange tales. They gathered together, stuck to an attachment point, and gradually became indistinguishable from each other. That place will soon form, and they will become no small help."

"Indeed." Constantine interjected. "Chen Yongren has been able to perceive the call and attraction of that place. Clearly, that place will become a home for strange tales, and they will become the most powerful and terrifying strange tales in this world."

Lin Fengjiao frowned. He could probably imagine what those strange tales would look like when united. They would indeed play some role in fighting Ren Cai. However, at the same time, Lin Fengjiao was also thinking that they had gathered together, and the pressure on future humans would probably go up another level.

Facing this kind of pressure, individual power is weak. Only by relying on the collective, it is even more necessary to stop Black Dwarf's massacre. Every person who dies now means that the power of future humans will be weakened by one point.

"In this way, you stay here and wait for those things to gather and be able to play a role." Lin Fengjiao looked up. "I will go to contain Ren Cai, knock out this life of his, and also scout the way for you to see how many skills those two guys have."

Lin Fengjiao was preparing to take his own life in exchange for information. Now the two sides didn't know much about each other. A little more information meant a little more space for targeting, and also a little more chance of winning.

"No, let's go together." Johnson stepped forward and said. "Our power is not strong enough when gathered together, and it is even less worth mentioning when scattered. Give me half an hour, and we will set off after making preparations!"

Lin Fengjiao saw that Johnson was not joking and responded. "Okay, then let's set off together."

"Constantine, come with me for a moment." Johnson pulled Constantine to the side.

"Can you contact Mephisto?"

"If you intend to let him intervene, then you think too much. He won't take action." Constantine shook his head. Mephisto had always been worried about turning from a chess player into a chess piece, so how could he take the initiative to enter the white-hot "Game Room" struggle.

"No, I mean, if we are defeated and die in that place, are you sure you can withdraw from this world?" Johnson continued to ask.

"What do you mean?" Constantine didn't understand at all what Johnson wanted to do. Let him be a deserter?

Johnson's thinking was clearer than ever. "When I saw the strange tales gathering just now, I understood that the confrontation now is not just between us and them, but also a force that cannot be underestimated."

"You mean... this world? But it hasn't formed a consciousness with subjective initiative and will only follow instinct. How to borrow power?" Constantine asked back.

"It's not that it hasn't formed at all. What if you count the strange tales? Don't forget, strange tales are strictly speaking also a part of this world, otherwise it wouldn't rely on strange tales to fight Dormammu."

Johnson analyzed for Constantine. "And with the gathering of strange tales, an alternative world consciousness is forming. They might not help us, but they will definitely fight them."

"The enemy of an enemy is a friend?"

"That's what it means. Ren Cai's destruction has forced us into a corner, and we have to move. If we can solve it smoothly, it would be the best. If not, then we have to think of other ways..."

"What way?"

"If we die slowly and are not defeated in one blow, but the situation is irreversible, you need to leave the battlefield, use Chen Yongren's undercover strange tale to hit the area that is forming, introduce them into the battlefield, and become the power to deflect the victory."

Johnson analyzed for Constantine one by one. "If the enemy's power is too strong, then the hope of revenge is handed over to you. You have to find a way to keep those two guys in this world! My suggestion is to guide the new power more deeply."

Constantine looked at Johnson in disbelief.

The first conjecture was fine, introducing more power, seeking victory in chaos, and finding a glimmer of life in a dead end.

But the second conjecture meant that Johnson was ready to sacrifice himself. Johnson had only been here for a few days, and he could empathize to this extent?

To be honest, besides not believing it, Constantine also felt a trace of inferiority.

"Don't think too much. I am doing it for our world. Whether it is Ren Cai or another Lv Xiaobu, if they win, they will eventually launch an attack on Earth."

Johnson thought far. "I can't imagine what these lunatics would look like running wild on Earth. What kind of destruction they would cause to my hometown. My relatives and friends might die inexplicably like the innocent people dying outside."

"I can't accept that future. No matter what, I am a superhero, and I should do something that this identity should do."

Constantine could feel Johnson's sincerity. These people shone like the heroes of his own world. "It is the glory of this title that it falls on you."

"Overpraised. I have spent my whole life pursuing mystery, and mystery has also descended on me. To put it bluntly, I have no regrets."

"Hearing the Dao in the morning, one can die in the evening. What's more, I have walked a long way on this path. Now what I want to do is to block these lunatics outside the Earth's defense line!"

Johnson firmed his belief. After perceiving the wailing of this city, Johnson would never let this kind of thing happen on Earth, so what he could do was to bury those guys here! ===== CHAPTER 222 =====
