Chapter 520: The Sugar Person's Death

Whether it's the Superpowered Special Forces or the Robe‑Digging Seven Heroes, they all shoulder the flagship duty of winning votes and popularity for their respective official backers.

Just like Vought Company in The Boys does comics, merchandise, and thorough image marketing for its superheroes,

To boost the influence of this group with wildly varied abilities and a mishmash of buffs, their publicity departments have also arranged many similar products.

And since Ji Ming is a Huaxia person, in the Huaxia context, 'Yangyue' also means 'October'.

So when the system translated this term into English, it did not use the simple 'sunmoon', but used 'October'.

Thus, the comics featuring this group of superheroes active in the Yangyue World were collectively called 'octoberics'.

But the term 'October comics' is too broad, and as a destined big IP, it also lacks the necessary prestige and memorability.

Thus, just as Marvelics company announced years ago that its IP's Chinese name is 'Marvel Comics',

The official Chinese translation of 'October comics' was also confirmed as the transliteration 'Ao Ke Tu Bo manhua', and it was promoted with a viral campaign across the web under that name.

Well, I admit it's a bit of a mouthful, but it's still better sounding than the ominous homophone 'Sangmu manhua'.

So, when the knight bathed in shadow raised his long weapon, letting the undead pegasus beneath him fiercely stomp the sugar person's chest,

Although it's not the first such event in the history of the Octoberverse, it is absolutely the most terrifying major event—death raining from the sky, has begun.

Pfft—

Since it's meant to be used as a long-term mount, this heavenly horse naturally has been trained by Ji Ming, and is roughly around level forty.

So its full-force kick is no joke—it directly sent the already wobbling sugar person flying, spewing blood, and it fell from the sky.

Although the sugar person's body is indeed tough enough, even after all that it hasn't been killed by the fall.

But its bones are broken all over, and it can only slump helplessly in a pile of dust, having exhausted its strength to fight again.

What's worse, the shadow riding the undead heavenly horse also followed, landing nearby like a legendary disaster knight.

In the clear clatter of hooves, it closed in step by step.

"Heh heh, ant, do you have any last words?"

"Cough cough… Yes!"

Watching the shadow knight slowly approach, the sugar person was disheveled but still managed to shout a line.

"Who are you? I want to know who defeated me—who exactly are you!"

"Very well, since you're sincere…"

No, I can't let the prestige of this disguise drop!

Forcing himself to suppress the urge to meme, Ji Ming lowered his voice.

"Listen up, wretched ant, I am the Shadow's Chosen One, I come to avenge my lord, the Wolf Prince!"

Wendigo:???

In a few days, when the Pioneers' iron fist lands on His head, He will surely wish He could return to today, appearing under this sky already nearing noon, with sunlight growing fierce.

Gritting his teeth, he clenched his fists.

While swinging hard at this 'Chosen One', he loudly shouted.

"You·send·to·who·ah!"

"Damn it, stop using my name to mess around everywhere!"

But unfortunately, He cannot come, cannot stop it, and even has no idea what's happening here.

Not only the deceived sugar person, but all the White Eagle soldiers eyeing this place also believed the 'Chosen One's' words.

There's no way—never mind whether this vengeful act is correct in the eyes of earthlings.

Just speaking of that person's rich, gloomy, almost suffocating viscous aura…

Many soldiers have farmed the Shadow Believer dungeon in the Radiant Realm, so they're extremely familiar with that vibe!

—Just kidding, this isn't the Shadow's Chosen One; could it possibly be the Holy Light's Chosen One?

"Damn it, I knew you wouldn't let it go!"

The sugar person cursed angrily, pulling out an energy drink to try to restore mana and health.

But unfortunately, his broken right arm simply couldn't be lifted; no matter how he struggled, he could only bleed continuously, writhing helplessly on the ground.

"Alright, this is too ugly to watch—let me help you be freed."

After uttering a classic villain's declaration, Ji Ming casually drew a longsword, preparing to secure the first kill of this match.

However, just then, as in every movie, an arrow struck the ground before his feet.

"Bastard, stay away from our family!"

He looked up and saw an Asian woman with waxy yellow skin, bizarre makeup, always baring two rows of big teeth, almost as if she wanted to write 'abc' on her face.

Moreover, just as if coordinating, a dangerous-sounding whooshing wind came from behind him.

However, Ji Ming's sword swing was faster than turning his head; in the next second, only a clear 'ding' was heard as the rainbow‑painted shield was knocked flying.

But this shield likely had an enchantment like 'Loyalty', for it stabilized in midair, spun back, and landed in the hand of a multicolored person.

Re‑buckling the shield onto his forearm, this person with an exaggerated mohawk and a body covered in chaotic tattoos let out a sound that could only be described as 'men, women, old, young'.

"Superpowered Special Forces, assemble!"

Thus came the cat‑man bear in a three‑foot black leather outfit, the iron‑tipped ghost‑shave whose whole body is studs or rings, and the lanky, effeminate guy dressed like a landmine…

In a grandeur‑worthy symphony, one after another of extreme minority powers gathered under the correct captain's summons, surrounding the isolated Ji Ming like a net of heaven and earth.

Ji Ming: …

"Boss, do you think I count as a minority?"

【???】

"So, what color flag should we raise for our liking of big, hard, iron passersby?"

【I'm really scared, bro, please act normal】

"Fine."

So Ji Ming lowered his head and looked at the butcher's knife in his hand, using the mirror‑smooth blade's reflection to hypnotize himself.

As for the result of the hypnosis, it was simple: he installed a harmony system inside himself that identified all those demons and monsters as watermelons, oranges, and big pineapples. His eyes said, "ohyeah, thankyousir!".

Alright, now that it's come to this, just treat it as playing a action‑game version of Fruit Ninja.

Thinking to himself, Ji Ming gripped the weapon in his hand, raised the knife and cut the withered orange in front of him—dry to the last drop—into two pieces.

"No, Tang Ren!"

But in the eyes of onlookers, the mighty invincible Tang Ren was single‑killed by the boss like that, and was cut in half at the waist right in front of everyone.

Ha, too crazy!

Nevertheless, the Superpowered Special Forces' external marketing persona is the classic American lumberjack, and after repeated "strength‑adjustments" by Aoke Tupo Company, even they have come to believe it themselves.

Thus, while terrified by Tang Ren's death, whether staged or real, the team members' faces also showed a grief like a close relative being slain.

When the Correct Captain raised his Rainbow Shield and shouted a resonant "Special Forces, advance!" the members howled and rushed forward to avenge Boss Tang.

Unfortunately, since even Tang Ren could not escape the Divine Chosen's deadly hand, what could these ants achieve together?

Naturally, he swung a few knives to repel the winged small apples that flew in, nearly turning them into a fruit platter, and with one punch sent the muscular big pineapple flying, almost splattering juice.

Even the teleporting Superpowered Eggplant was reduced to low health by a sudden AOE burst; if Captain Durian hadn't intercepted it quickly, it might have been smashed to death.

Both sides fought for dozens of rounds, and the Shadow Divine Chosen seemed like the undead king Dr. Edgar, battling multiple masters single‑handedly without faltering.

And as the world boss, after intensely testing the strength of these Superpowered players, Ji Ming gradually formed conclusions about them.

The answer is that they do have skill; as a t1t0 player in the current version, they can even be non‑banned mandatory picks for several upcoming versions without issue.

But their shortcomings are obvious: their looks are ugly, need not mention, and each either has burst but no sustain, or sustain but no burst.

Facing a monster like Ji Ming, whose stats are tied to mechanics and mechanics to stats, it's natural that binding a single piece can't defeat it.

After being tricked with all their moves, they could only be squeezed to death one by one by the Shadow Divine Chosen, like ragged bags, forming a lavish fruit‑and‑vegetable platter.

Of course, to outsiders, brave super‑heroes were giving their all, trying to battle the knight hidden in the shadows.

But when skill falls short, there's no miracle; aside from the blood‑soaked sky and the lament of ten thousand armies, the Superpowered Special Forces have no other ending to choose.

What's even more deadly is that it's not just the White Eagle soldiers on the ground; after sensing the chaos here, countless people have rushed over to watch the spectacle.

So even though Aoke Tupo Company's reach is limitless, this time they didn't even have time to control public opinion or cover up the loss, and it just blew out.

【ohno! My favorite is Tang Ren, and he was actually killed on the spot by the boss!】

【Thick‑gift crab, what on earth is this? Even the Correct Captain with countless buffs and an indestructible Rainbow Shield got smashed.】

【The Superpowered Special Forces are so disgraceful; luckily I'm a fan of the Wa Ao Seven Heroes, Wa Ao never dies! Wa Ao is the strongest!】

And it's not just White Eagle netizens; the wave of the internet age spread the incident across the global web.

【Turtle, where did this boss pop out from? How come there's no buildup or preview?】

【Damn, isn't losing normal? I knew those demons and monsters that only do marketing are useless!】

【Everyone, don't be afraid; the divine court of Tianzhu will protect every wanderer willing to convert; please add this account…】

【Wait, Shadow Divine Chosen? The Divine Chosen of the Shadow God? Beta players are ecstatic; I knew there'd be a sequel!】

【No, hasn't anyone thought about what to do if we can't beat it?】

But however the storm brewing online grows, it still cannot affect the bleak reality before Yangyue World.

"Alright, go be glorious together with your family."

After chopping off the Asian woman's head, Ji Ming, in a blood‑lust, tossed the knife aside and looked at the sky, feeling a surge of emotion.

"Cough, starting off by annihilating the Federation, I guess I have to be a Thanos‑level villain, right?"

Then he rode his celestial horse and flew toward the most heavily defended area of the military base.

Finally, in a rather hidden valley, he saw what the Special Forces were dying to protect—a missile test site.

Ji Ming: "Whoa, so it's here after all."

"No! If the test site is destroyed, months of preparation will be wasted!"

At this moment, the White Eagle People were frantic, after all this was their most classified asset!

And losing the test site would be a minor material loss—just a little more hardship for EastJapan and Silla—but the setback in progress would be huge.

One must understand that, according to reliable reports, it's not just them: Huaxia, Russia, Persia, and even Silla's northern brother Baekje!

Several nuclear‑capable nations are pushing full‑steam to revive missile technology in Yangyue World, and the progress is only accelerating.

Damn, losing hegemony and all that… No!

But just as events on Earth cannot directly affect the current state of Yangyue, no matter how great the changes on Yangyue, they cannot alter Earth's established reality.

Moreover, Ji Ming's execution of the "Fourth Day Disaster Plan" is to fulfill a promise to the little boss; under this premise, any player‑derived power could become a future aid.

Thus Ji Ming did not publicly settle a personal grudge by leveling the test base; instead he pretended ignorance, symbolically blew up a few tanks, and then prepared to leave.

Yet not a moment did he mourn the Superpowered Special Agents' annihilation; immediately after, the Wa Ao Seven Heroes rushed onto the battlefield.

"Everyone, the Shadow Divine Chosen likely intends to destroy our test base; hurry and stop it!"

But the Wa Ao Seven Heroes, when previously dueling Prince Wolf Ah Xi Bao, would fall one after another, heavily wounded, stripped of armor, in a sorry state.

Now facing Ji Ming, whose mechanics and stats are fully maxed, they can't even open their mouths, close their eyes, grimace in pain, or become a boss's captive.

"Ugh—ahhh!"

They could only line up to be instantly killed by the Divine Chosen, each assigned a urinal, leaving their fans cold and speechless.

Thus, after the Superpowered Special Forces' annihilation, the Wa Ao Seven Heroes, representing the red side, also met their final annihilation.

Now a new wave rises before the previous settles, making the internet even more lively.

In an instant, fans, trolls, jokesters, those wanting to argue, settle scores, or launch smear campaigns… wow, it's unbelievably spectacular!

Yet the Wa Ao Seven Heroes claim to be 'seven heroes'; isn't it natural that an eighth member exists?

So when Ji Ming also smashed the spare helmet of Thunder Hero and decisively killed the last Wa Ao hero, a gentle light descended.

"Hmm?"
