Chapter 204 Chapter 204 Grandpa's Soul Returns

The Evolved Man said, "My people will kill you!"

"I'm just going to kill 'you,'" Li Hua said, taking advantage of the fact that Evolved Humans don't know how the [substitute] cards work. "It doesn't matter if your body dies. You're definitely not the only Evolved Human in your family, right? I want to experience the powerful bodies of every one of you!"

"You despicable bastard, don't you dare defile my people!"

The evolved man desperately pulled his neck back, yelling and cursing, trying to escape from Li Hua's clutches.

At this moment, for the evolved humans who extremely despise other species, Li Hua is even more terrifying than facing a billion murderers!

"Or let me kill him."

Even Kevin couldn't bear to watch it anymore - of course, Kevin didn't sympathize with the Evolved People. He didn't have that much sympathy. He just felt that it was too dangerous for Li Hua to suddenly sneak into the Evolved People's warship like this.

Li Hua: "It's such a waste. He's a high-ranking commander after all. Can the plumbers hold him captive?"

Kevin pulled out a...cake with the same pattern as the Omnitrix's dial? He spoke a few words to the palm-sized round cake and put it away. "Done."

Jason asked, "Why does the pattern on this thing look like the Omnitrix? Does the Omnitrix have a brother?"

"It's more accurate to say that the Omnitrix looks like it," Kevin said. "This is the Celestial Association Medal, with the Celestial Association emblem on it. Azmis was planning to give the Omnitrix to Celestial Association agents, but it accidentally ended up in the hands of that idiot Ben."

"Anyway, the Tian Gong agents will be here soon. Let's deal with those half-human beasts you buried alive first."

Since the attack and infiltration of the evolved humans is global, the agents of the Earth Tiangong Union branch have been very busy recently and have been unable to spare any manpower. All the agents with combat capabilities have gone to the front line, and the logistics personnel waiting behind do not have the ability to subdue the half-humans and half-beasts.

While dealing with the half-human beasts, Li Hua asked, "In the case of a large-scale invasion of other planets, can't the Tiangong headquarters send people over?"

Kevin's response was also very honest: "No one, no way. The Evolved People are not only invading Earth. The Tiangong agents are already busy defending their own planet, so there is no way to ask them to help."

Jason: "Have all the Evolved People's attacks been launched recently?"

Kevin: "I'm not sure about that, but the things about the evolved humans in the Alien Channel and the Alien Tavern only came out recently."

Li Hua: "That's strange... If they were expanding their territory, why would they disperse their forces so much? Given the physical qualities of the evolved humans and the transformation abilities of the half-humans and half-beasts, if they could concentrate their forces and strike on a single point, it wouldn't take long to capture a planet."

The words and deeds of evolved people are full of contradictions.

Judging from the scene, those transformed half-human beasts did not seem to have very high IQs, so they needed to obey the command of the evolved humans who came to the scene to do it personally.

But doesn't this mean that more evolved humans are needed on the front lines? That would make even more sense why the evolved humans are acting in a dispersed manner.

What is the purpose of evolving humans spending so much time and effort now?

In order to expand the battlefield, Tiangong agents cannot gather to help?

But now the battlefield has become too large, and it has already had a negative impact on them, making it completely thankless.

In situations like this where the villain is in a thankless role and has unclear motives, he's either holding back a big move, or he's just like the guys in Arkham Asylum - mentally ill.

But is it possible for a race to suffer from mental illness together?

Jason: "Does your Earth have any special mineral deposits, energy bodies, or artifacts left over from ancient times?"

Kevin: "I've never heard of it, nor have I heard the evolved humans say what they're looking for... But the half-humans did disguise themselves as humans and buy weapons from me."

Li Hua: "Is it a weapon that only exists on Earth?"

Kevin: "No, it's alien technology, and it's not the level of technology that Earthlings are allowed to touch... Of course, I have turned over a new leaf now!"

Kevin also found it strange thinking back on this. Given the technological level of the Evolved, it wouldn't be difficult to create such a weapon, yet they had to buy it privately.

Since weapons are in short supply even on the front lines and one has to rely on illegal channels, spending more money and effort to obtain them, why expand the battle line so much?

Kevin and his companions had wondered about the Evolved Humans' motives, but before today, they had never captured an Evolved Human captive. The half-humans were merely following orders, and the half-humans who had reverted to human form had no memories of their time as half-humans, so they couldn't gather any intelligence.

After Kaiwen wielded his iron hammer, a whirlwind, and sent a group of centaurs flying, he said, "But I must admit, you're more insightful than I thought. You realized the problem so quickly. Could it be that there's also a large-scale alien invasion of Earth in that world?"

Jason: "Yeah, about once a year on average, but it's another matter when I'm busy."

It's just that most of them persist until someone other than Superman takes action.

Jason twisted and turned among the herd of centaurs, trip ropes and kicks flying together, and soon a group of centaurs were scattered like bowling pins. In the end, he decided to make a rigorous patch.

"Actually, I don't know much about this. The city where I live isn't usually home to alien trouble. I haven't specifically asked my colleagues who deal with alien affairs, just like they don't usually ask ordinary people like us in Gotham about crime frequency. When we rarely get together, we don't want to talk about work."

Kevin: ".......I used to envy Ben's adventures into other worlds. Thank you for curing my yearning for other worlds."

No wonder Azmis sent Benjamin over there for tutoring. The superheroes there must have gained experience in dealing with such emergencies.

Jason: "You're exaggerating. If it were you, your universe would be the most outrageous."

It is surprising that a ten-year-old elementary school student can encounter so many things in one summer vacation, and this is just what happened to an elementary school student.

"Your universe is outrageous."

"Your universe is outrageous."

Li Hua used a standard golf swing to send a half-human beast flying. "As an outsider in any world, let me say something fair—stop arguing. Both of your universes are outrageous!"

This was a normal activity of clearing out soldiers until Li Hua saw a soldier use his claws to force open an iron box in the corner of the nest, revealing something that looked like a laser cannon, with the muzzle pointing at them.

trap!

Kevin, whose entire body was made of metal, immediately protected Jason. Li Hua threw a [shield] to cover the entire laser cannon, but the muzzle seemed to completely ignore the barrier of space, and passed through the [shield] barrier to open a red space door in the middle of the warehouse with a suction force so strong that people could not stand steadily.

Seeing the floating stone island and the blood-red world in space, Kevin and Li Hua cursed in unison: "Damn it! It's a Void Projector!"

These were their last words left in this world.

........

Gwen Tennyson, who had just finished her homework for the day and went to bed to catch up on some sleep, was woken up from her sleep. When she found that there was a stranger at the head of her bed, she immediately used her celestial energy magic to lock the stranger in a pink celestial energy shield and questioned him harshly.

"Who are you and why are you in my house?!"

"I'm Ben!"

The young man with black hair and green eyes floating in the air slapped the Omnitrix symbol on his chest, and Gwen's stupid cousin with brown hair and green eyes appeared in her magic cage.

"Something happened to Li Hua and the others, so I had no choice but to come to you."

"Can't you just call first?" Gwen removed her shield, rubbed her aching brow, and looked at the clock in the room. She saw it wasn't even past ten in the evening yet. "How did you know? They should have just arrived not long ago."

Benjamin took out his phone. "Li Hua and Jason have tracking devices on them. They send me signals every half hour. As soon as the signal disappears, they send me an alert. I received the alert three minutes ago. Now they can't be found anywhere on the planet."

"Are you...really Ben?" Gwen rekindled the Celestial Energy in her hand and frowned. "I've known Ben for fifteen years, and this is the first time I've seen him make such a comprehensive backup plan before taking action."

Benjamin hadn’t expected that he would be stuck in time on this aspect. “Is it really that serious? I used to be pretty reliable too!”

Gwen thought of all the trouble her childish cousin had caused since they were little, and said firmly, "That's true. The times you've been reliable are nothing compared to the times you've been unreliable."

But the person in front of her now was so reliable that it made her feel uneasy.

Benjamin: “…”

As we all know, lies don’t hurt people, the truth is a sharp knife, and the critical hit rate on relatives is 100%.

"It's not like I attended the otherworldly cram school for nothing. It's not my fault that I've become mature and reliable." Finally, Benjamin was at his wit's end. "If you don't believe me, use your celestial energy to test me. You can't fake soul fluctuations, right?"

Gwen used her divine sense to scan him. "...it's really you? Who on earth could make Super Dumb no longer be dumb?"

Benjamin: “It’s the weariness of being a parent.”

"......Although I am curious about what you experienced in the other world, it's not now."

Gwen tilted her head back and drank the water in the bedside cup to clear her mind, then sat cross-legged on the bed and began to use her divine energy to continue searching for her missing companions.

"Are you sure you can't find it on the entire earth?"

Benjamin: "Yes, before I came to find you, I used Kryptonians to search every possible place on Earth, and even destroyed three half-human beast nests, but I still couldn't find Li Hua, Jason, and Kevin. They are now in the Void Zero Realm, and we have to find a way to rescue them."

Gwen: ".......Although I really want to ask what Kryptonians are, I'd rather you know how you knew they were in the Void Zero Realm?"

Although the Void Zero Realm cannot be described as picturesque, the environment itself is actually suitable for human survival.

The problem lies in its humanistic environment. After all, the Void Zero Realm is an exile dimension space specially used to imprison criminals, and the average quality of the people there can be imagined.

Not to mention the very sickly-looking creature that looked like a giant squid with enormous teeth. Gwen still remembered the fight with these creatures when she went to the Void to retrieve Benjamin at the age of ten.

As for why Benjamin didn't tell her immediately after he found out that they were in the Void Zero Realm... Gwen might have complained in the past, but now she just felt that this rare silly attribute was so familiar to her, allowing her to still have the real feeling that "this person is my cousin."

"It's a message from nature, it's not important." Benjamin asked the group of half-humans and evolved humans after a "friendly inquiry". "The Void Parts Projector that sent Li Hua and the others in has been destroyed. Do you have a way to get them out?"

"If I have enough energy, I can indeed temporarily open the dimensional door of the Void Zero Realm."

Gwen rubbed her temples, which ached from lack of rest.

"But I can't do it now, but I can try to contact them. After all, even if I want to open the door, I have to find them first."

Benjamin: "It's okay, don't worry. Li Hua, Kevin, and Jason all have special skills. They'll be fine if they stay in there for a while."

On the contrary, it is easy for their enemies to die when they encounter them.

"But we still need to contact him first." Hearing Benjamin's words, Gwen felt relieved. "You said Li Hua is the mage in your team, right? Do you have his photo? It should be easier for me to call him telepathically."

Benjamin pulled out his phone and opened his photo album. "Yes, there is... but Li Hua has practiced Occlumency, so he might not be able to hear you. If you want to call him, you have to first tell him who you are and why you're looking for him. That way, he might not be blocked."

Gwen: ?

Does your friend have a verification system in his brain? Even if I yell at him through a megaphone, he still has to verify his friend status?

"And then... you might not be able to find him," Benjamin said. "Although Li Hua is the mage in our team, his perception and clairvoyance are very poor."

Gwen: "How bad?"

Benjamin: “Worse than me and Jason.”

Gwen: ...

There are only three people in your small team. If they are worse than you and Jason, then they are the worst!

At first, Gwen couldn't understand why a wizard's perception was so poor, but after thinking about it carefully, it seemed reasonable.

Her father had no magical talent, but his perception ability amazed even her grandmother, who was from Anno Star. This was a low-probability event.

By the same token, it is possible that Li Hua has a talent for magic, but it is also a low-probability event that her perception is so poor that it amazes her cousin. It is just that this low probability happened to the Tennyson family.

.......We cannot rule out the possibility that Benjamin is teaching blindly and misleading his students.

After all, this silly cousin of his has not only misled himself, but also Jason.

But this is actually not a big deal. Perception can be improved through learning. It is normal for this situation to occur since Li Hua has only been learning magic for a few months. I will just find time to teach him later.

"Anyway, I'd better look for it first."

After looking at the photos on Benjamin's phone, Gwen sat cross-legged in meditation, using her celestial energy to cross the gaps between dimensions to find the person receiving the signal.

Fifteen minutes later, Gwen opened her eyes, which were emitting pink light. "We found Li Hua. They're fine. We also ran into Helen and the others who went in earlier. Everyone is doing well."

Benjamin breathed a sigh of relief. Both old and new friends were fine. This was definitely good news.

"Communications are down. The interference over there is too severe."

Gwen covered her dizzy head, the pink light in her eyes faded away, and her energy sank into her dantian, and she said.

"But I've already told them I'll pick them up tomorrow. He said Jason has something for me to tell you... although I don't quite understand what it means."

Benjamin: “Tell me about it?”

"You never thought, Ben? Before, you and Li Hua dug for me to survive, now it's my turn and Li Hua's turn to dig for your grandfather to survive!"

Benjamin: ???

Benjamin:......

Benjamin: !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"Grandpa is resurrected too?!"
