Chapter 508: M! A! G! A!

Er ah!!!

The clever smart kid immediately pretended to have suffered a fatal attack, and while acting out collapsing from serious injury, he let out a very stiff shout.

As a result, one of them accidentally pressed onto a sharp stone, hurriedly pretending to sneakily but actually very conspicuously sweep his arm aside, only then managing to lie down firmly.

Now this is great: aside from Leidianxia merely having his mask cut open, barely maintaining his dignity, the other six heroes all became mute, embarrassed fools.

"Any left? Then I'm quite disappointed!"

Axibao also didn't expect these guys to be so weak; even letting them have just one hand, he could easily score a team wipe.

Heh, perhaps this is the uncrossable chasm between levels fifty and seventy.

Such a gap simply cannot be filled merely by numbers and willpower.

"Really none left? Don't despair; if you still feel hopeful, then come again quickly!"

"Hehe, that timing is just about right!"

And after provokingly asking three times, Axibao finally lowered his voice.

"Good, then you all just lie there; watch me not let this damned lowly bunch all go out in glory!"

Having said that, he hoisted the serrated blade and rushed forward, preparing to avenge the fallen soldiers!

However, at that very moment, in the forest already plunged into total darkness, another brilliant light appeared in the sky.

This was not the Lightning Hero's fierce lightning, nor the harsh light of a mud-head lamp.

This light was gentle! Holy! Great!

And with his arrival, the superheroes who had been lounging on the ground scrambled to their feet, standing on either side, bowing their heads somewhat respectfully.

The ever-composed Lightning Hero also landed on the ground, instantly reverting to that entrepreneur, Old Ma, whose face broke into a smile of greeting the leader.

Even Axibao, the opponent, switched to a solemn expression, for he could sense that this aura belonged to someone of level sixty!

Cannot be careless; better to probe first.

So he halted his stance and planted his blade into the ground.

"Huh? Who are you."

"Hahaha..."

Facing his vigilance, the visitor neither insulted nor snorted, much less retorted, but instead let out a gentle, hearty laugh.

"Hey, youngman!!!"

Accompanied by a burst of vigorous music, like an old song, a slightly paunchy figure in a suit slowly emerged from that light.

His golden curly hair—when he descends, an old man unable to control his sphincter will hurriedly flee.

His red tie—when he descends, a middle‑aged woman who often laughs will shut her mouth.

His solemn expression—when he descends, Mother Nature, draped in a rainbow, will lose her color.

His steadfast belief—when he descends, even God will give him a hint to dodge that deadly bullet.

Indeed……

It's him!

The man who tugs at the hearts of all the jokesters worldwide—he has finally arrived!

After grandly spreading his arms, he then slowly lifted them as if praising something, while chanting with a compassionate expression.

"ma~ga~ power~"

Thus that light poured down like raindrops, like a gentle breeze, yet weighing ten thousand jun!

"Holy shit!"

Ji Ming couldn't bear to watch this any longer and quickly hit pause.

【"Hey what are you doing, keep watching, this isn't that exciting, right?"】

"No, I need to take a break; I can't hold it in."

Just like the classic water‑time‑length segment from Family Guy, Ji Ming lay back on the sofa, laughing with the same tone and action for a full three minutes.

Only then did he sit up again, take a sip of water, and catch his breath.

"Alright, I think I've laughed enough… pfft… no, this is too brutal!"

He knew that the White Eagle side happened to clash with the world's biggest TV live‑idol reality show, but he didn't expect that, after mixing in the superpowered individuals from Double Moon Struggle, the blue‑red showdown could be this exciting.

First, although Howard himself would certainly not want to join a bunch of demons and monsters, his project's top boss happens to be the incumbent president's beloved son, Lieutenant General Hunter.

Thus his subordinate Superpower Special Task Force instantly became the vanguard of publicity for the Blue Side, and, in order to win more votes, was forced to undergo an almost complete overhaul of its roster.

Thus a capable group led by Constance, who were neither White Eagle nor Rainbow, were directly squeezed out of the team and reassigned to a new organization called the Glorious Alliance.

The vacated spots were filled by a bunch of guys stacking all kinds of buffs, wielding colorful tactics, going out like a night parade of a hundred ghosts, coming home like borrowed yin soldiers, seven of them able to conjure eight personal pronouns—say the wrong one and you might get slapped with a discrimination hat.

As for who they actually are and what superpowers they possess—

Well, let's give a grand welcome to the Gen‑Z iron t… who has two moms and a brother with gender‑identity disorder…

Hold on, calm down! Don't click the exit button!

Please, this setting is so disgusting—your eyes can handle it, but my brain can't!

So I won't elaborate here; just plug in the last two years of DC‑Marvel‑Hollywood and fill in the blanks for the most disgusting waste‑of‑space characters.

Anyway, with this, the Superpower Special Task Force, originally mocked as the "Father's Grief Alliance" or "Area 51 Guardians," became, in netizens' mouths, the "Arkham Asylum Fraternity" and the "All White Eagle Pharmaceutical Endorsement Heavenly Team."

But these two are really lacking in aggression, so everyone's favorite nickname ends up being—"Rainbow Mom, fuck!"

And on the Red Side, because of his son… well, nowadays he's probably more like a daughter.

In short, because his son 'died,' to take revenge on the bunch of bastards who tricked him into betraying himself, Old Ma on the spot turned into a steadfast anti‑Rainbow fighter and naturally joined that man's crew.

So this seven‑person squad may look troll‑ish, but it's really just a flashy stunt to draw eyes.

Strictly speaking, it's just the Red Side's answer—a redneck hero troupe put up to sing and dance against the Superpower Special Task Force.

The captain is naturally Old Ma himself, the Lightning Hero, who has Iron Man's gear and Thor's power, but in terms of actual strength they're all degraded versions—at the very least, his ear still lacks a JARVIS‑like AI assistant to advise him.

The second‑in‑command is 【Star Stripe Lieutenant】, who looks a lot like a carbon‑based life version of the Terminator, but considering that this "Lumberjack Power" isn't much different from Captain America's "Fifty‑Fifty Power", it can roughly be understood as Captain America without a vibranium shield.

Number three is 【Seven Star Ruffian】, essentially a half‑evil spirit knight with a dash of Flash‑like lightning, and until his movement speed exceeds that of a vehicle, he can only be tightly bound to his motorcycle.

Aside from these three heavyweights, the remaining four are more like bit‑players.

【Protein Sir】 theoretically still has potential; after all, the fitness‑supplement field has many avenues for development, and not to mention Kowloon Coffin‑Pulling, ninety‑nine‑eighty‑one Dragon Coffin‑Pulling are both possible.

But unfortunately, this theoretical thing, if it cannot become reality in a short time, can be considered a non‑existent pipe dream.

Thus, for now he has only unlocked the Power of One Dragon; don't even mention the Hulk—he'd probably break a sweat fighting the Rhino Man that appears at the end of "Spider‑Man 2".

【Flower Butterfly】 simply lacks the potential to develop her superpower; although her butterfly wings and blade‑like limbs look nice, the lack of ranged attacks means she can only be a wasp‑woman with a Black Widow skill set, essentially a one‑look‑kill.

Bad news: this wave is a double vase; among the six members she is the only one who was almost killed alive by Axi Bao.

Good news: because she has double coolness, she is the most popular among the seven, and her merchandise price has been inflated to the sum of the other members' prices.

Next is 【Air Professor】; telekinetic power is still formidable, or rather, any superpower that involves the mind or brain has an absolute guarantee at least on the lower bound.

If development goes well, Professor X, Magneto, and even the one from "Transcendent Body", becoming a guaranteed Omega, an ultimate Level‑Four God, are all within reach.

Then, Professor, could you point out where this date is?

…Um, pass a tissue so she can go cry somewhere else.

Alright, let's turn the camera to 【Wise Kid】.

"Do you think you're a superhero?"

"I think I am."

"Everyone probably doesn't believe it; can you prove it?"

"Sure, listen up…"

"Uh, you just said a string of numbers? What does that mean, did you solve some… math problem?"

"No, it's the one you asked about online yesterday; if you go search it you'll know, oh, the blue one."

???

!!!

"And you, my friend, you are the true superhero!"

So just these seven cannot possibly defeat the new Super‑Power Special Forces backed by the entire military.

They still need someone who can settle the matter with a single hammer, to defeat the mighty Mother of Nature.

And then that man arrived!

According to the White Eagle's official external report, the one‑armed Axi Bao, under his pursuit, has no way to the heavens nor the earth; if it weren't for enough trump cards and a hard life, he might have been broken in his hands!

And according to the internal intel Ji Ming obtained from the bureau… the situation is roughly the same, only with minor discrepancies in some details.

Specifically, his maga power is certainly not that invincible; at least it cannot, by merely a surge of kingly aura, scare the noble Wolf Prince into a panic.

In fact, both sides tussled for a while— you hit me, I hit you— each fulfilling their duties and preserving each other's face, then they each withdrew.

Thus this probing skirmish, instigated by the Wolf King Court, ended with the Wolf troops completely annihilated, New Luo suffering heavy losses, and even its headquarters nearly razed to the ground.

What? You ask me weren't they fighting outside? When was New Luo's headquarters attacked?

See, doesn't that make you look undignified? If we don't do this, where will the Wolf Prince's face be found?

And in a master showdown, you can't keep fighting in the wilderness forever.

No smashing stuff, no breaking things, no big scenes, no good videos—how to stir voters to raise one's support further?

Ah, no big deal! Just rebuild what's broken; after all, the stuff being smashed isn't ours…

Piao Renshuang: Aminos!

And after everything settled back to calm, from the Barbarian Plains to Hui Guang, everyone finally enjoyed a rare period of rest.

Funny enough, regardless of winning or losing in this big event, all factions felt a bit shortchanged.

Thus, led by the Sun King and supported by the Money Bag and Sword‑Shield factions, the "Return to the Western Frontier" plan was steadfastly carried out by the Hui Guang nobles.

Although some not‑so‑clear‑headed minor nobles, under the direction of some unfriendly big‑handed figures, voiced discordant opinions at critical moments.

For example, some barons and viscounts in the Eastern Frontier actually found all sorts of reasons and excuses to try to lower— even outright avoid— the conscription brought by the king's decree.

But unfortunately, "When the king raises an army, we sharpen our spears" has been a rule since the first generation. If they refuse dignity, the king's recruitment officer will make it dignified for them.

Especially after a symbolic seizure of tens of thousands of gold coins from their gilded castles for military funds, those who were previously obstinate suddenly became docile.

Now they no longer shout about poverty, nor cry weakly; even the sons they claimed they didn't have suddenly appear, and a dozen or so youths pop out, overwhelming the recruiters.

Facing the shifted situation, with the Hui Guang Kingdom now huffing at itself, the Deep Forest side adopted an even hotter internal response strategy.

On the surface, the Deep Forest people changed their long‑standing attitude toward the Hui Guang people, not only speaking kindly but also sending a delegation to Qixia City to formally apologize to His Majesty the Sun King.

And even when the Hui Guang are angry, diplomatic protocol forbids striking a smiling man, so they can only sit together and exchange pleasantries; some of the more aggressive plans on the table also inevitably mellow.

But behind the scenes, the Deep Forest accelerated its infiltration like never before; it's no longer just the Secret Forest Church, even border and northern nobles have dispatched their own spies.

Moreover, as the game progresses, the Hui Guang Western Frontier server of Double Moon Struggle has been dramatically opened, prompting many profit‑hungry players to join.

They don't care what faction they belong to; wherever there's a reward quest they go, wherever there's a hidden quest they dive, essentially becoming little loaches stirring the big pot.

Ah, now with so many rushing to join, the Western Frontier, once barren from years of plundering, instantly turned into a thriving hotbed of competition.
