When Zack learned the news about the Demon King, he was preparing to adjourn the meeting for everyone to have lunch.
Zack, who was holding a regular meeting in the conference room of the Watcher Building, suddenly received a call from Watcher International: "Bright died in battle, the Demon King is dead, and the new Demon King is suppressing the powerful extraordinary people in other countries. We don't have high-end combat power, and we urgently need the captain's support--"
Then he heard a scream and the call was disconnected.
Bright died in battle! ?
Thousands of thoughts ran through Zack's mind. Although he didn't like the tall, rich and handsome boy, it was undeniable that his fighting ability was extremely amazing, and he must have countless trump cards hidden. How could he lose them in the pursuit of the Demon King?
It was precisely because Zack believed in Brett's ability that he handed the Demon King operation over to him and stayed in charge of the Federation. After all, the Demon King's matter was neither big nor small. It was big because the Demon King's ability was too amazing, and it was small because the Demon King's strength was too weak - just like a child holding a kitchen knife, all you need to do is send a few adults to catch her.
However, the Demon King, the new Demon King... the Demon King's abilities can indeed be passed on. The new Demon King is probably the man who loudly confessed his love to the Federation yesterday?
The phone call was quite loud, and the other watchers all heard what was said, and they all showed an expression of disbelief:
"It's a lie, isn't it...?"
"Brother Bright...is dead?"
"How could this be possible!?"
Sadness instantly hit the conference room. They either couldn't believe it or covered their mouths and started crying. Zack glanced at them and said, "I'll go over and capture the new demon king right away. Bright has my mark on him."
"Please avenge Brett!" someone said in a trembling voice.
"Wait, Captain!" The prophet Fina suddenly said, "Let Perkins cast a spell on you, and then go over!"
Pukins, a black man who was wiping his tears, was startled when he heard this and asked, "Why do you have to do it at this time..."
"Bright is dead, we need a new symbol." Fina said seriously: "We need to record a video of the captain capturing the devil and make the captain the most brilliant federal hero!"
A female watcher cried out: "Bright just died, Fina, how could you..."
"Just yesterday, New York was attacked by a giant deep-sea monster. If it weren't for the appearance of Ren Han from the Asgard, by the time the captain rushed back, who knows how much damage and casualties the monster would have caused to New York." Fina's tone was very calm and cold: "Now the people of the Federation are in a panic and need spiritual support. It's not the Asgard, not the World Tree, but the spiritual support of the Federation."
"Bright can die, but the spiritual pillar must be replaced. Now is the best opportunity... The phone call said that the new demon king is suppressing the powerful extraordinary people in other countries? So, Sakura Anzi, Yu Jian, Daze, Ursa, and Kader, the five world-renowned extraordinary people, have not been able to defeat him. Now is the time for the captain to save the world with his invincible appearance!"
"Captain, there is no time. Please make the decision."
Zack immediately agreed to Fina's suggestion. After letting Perkins cast a spell on him, he spread his angel wings, turned into a stream of light, left the Watcher Building, and disappeared into the sky.
At the same time, Pukins waved his hands and a water curtain appeared in the conference room.
His superpower is "copying the target", which allows him to create a curtain of water and view the condition of the marked person in 4K quality, and even adjust the distance and rotate it.
In the center of the picture is Zack, who has turned into a stream of light and is flying. The bright sky in the background gradually turns dim until it sinks into darkness. The speed is unimaginable!
Although the Federation does not have space movement spells, after the angel Zack transforms into the "holy light" state, his flying speed can reach nearly Mach 23, equivalent to 7.8 kilometers per second, and it only takes a few minutes to get from New York to Fanying.
But Zach couldn't perceive the environment in this state, and even his thinking was stagnant. He had to find a road sign as his destination before he could stop. And he could only create one mark - if there were multiple road signs, he would be very likely to get lost at this speed because even his thinking was stagnant.
For safety reasons, Zack gave the sign to Brett.
As they watched the captain cross from day to night, a female watcher suddenly said, "Want to do a live broadcast?"
Fina, wearing an eye mask, shook her head slightly: "No, it's too dangerous——"
"What's the danger? Can't Captain Zack defeat the Demon King?" The female Watcher retorted: "If the new Demon King is suppressing the extraordinary people of other countries, the captain can just go there to save the world. Through the weakness of the extraordinary people of other countries, the captain can show his strength and let everyone know the reputation of the Watcher!"
"We can record a video and upload it..."
"Xuan Country, the European Union, and Fanying will definitely use diplomatic means to interfere. They will never allow us to show the ugly appearance of their extraordinary people! Even if we spread it on the Internet, it will not be allowed! Especially Xuan Country, we physically cut off the Internet in important areas of the Watcher Building because their network extraordinary people are too terrifying!"
The female watcher clenched her fists, wiped her tears, sniffed, and said, "We just need to create a fait accompli first, so that the entire federation will know that the strongest watcher on earth is silently protecting them!"
"We can't... we can't let Bright die with the stigma of being 'weak'. We must let everyone see the power of the Demon King, the power of the captain, and the weakness of the extraordinary people from other countries. Only then can we prove that Bright did not die of weakness, but died heroically for the sake of protection!"
After hearing this, everyone understood the female watcher's true thoughts: helping the captain gain fame was secondary, her main goal was to create an image of Brett's heroic sacrifice.
Even if the obituary later revealed that Bright died in a battle with the Demon King, I'm afraid few people would have any idea what the Demon King is - the big boss of an RPG game?
The devil is not an army, a country, or a natural disaster. It is hard to believe that someone who died at the hands of the devil could be considered a "heroic sacrifice."
But it will be different as long as it is broadcast live - now the Demon King is suppressing the extraordinary people from other countries. The extraordinary people from other countries are all powerful people with many fans on the Internet, and the Demon King who is suppressing them is naturally evil and powerful. Captain Zack who will suppress the Demon King later is righteous and powerful, and Brett's sacrifice is naturally extremely important!
"But the Demon King's ability is to strengthen himself by harvesting fear..." Fina continued to persuade.
"When the captain goes over to kill the demon king, how can the citizens be afraid? They will only be proud of the Federation!" The female watcher said with red eyes: "As long as we don't say that the demon king created the source of the disaster, how can the citizens be afraid?"
"Bright definitely hopes that our Watchers can be superior to other countries, and that the people of the Federation can support our Watchers from the bottom of their hearts!"
Although Fina was still opposed, now that Zack and Brett were gone, the Watchers had entered a temporary democratic state, and most people were immersed in the sorrow of Brett's death, so they agreed to hold this grand farewell ceremony for Brett.
No one can stop the will of all the Watchers.
When all the TV stations in New York urgently switched to the live broadcast of Watchmen, Zack, who flew in the sky for several minutes, traveling from noon in New York to midnight in cherry blossom season, just reached the signpost and exited from the 'Holy Light' state.
Zack, who was floating in the sky, looked down and with the help of the bright moonlight, he found that the lush mountains and forests were like a bald middle-aged man, and suddenly a flat land without any grass or trees appeared.
Although he didn't know he was live streaming, Zach estimated that his actions would be recorded and uploaded, so he solemnly declared as he landed: "Watcher Zach, upholding the will of mankind, comes to capture the demon king who is accused of crimes against humanity--"
When Zack saw the details on the ground, his eyes suddenly fixed.
The seriously injured extraordinary people fell to the ground screaming and roaring, while the uninjured extraordinary people knelt on the ground and trembled.
He saw Brett's body, and Cecil was lying on his body, crying, tears of blood flowing like a river.
The Spirit Hall's extraordinary person, 'Gun Tianxia Yi' Sakura Anzi, fell to the ground, her life or death unknown, and her extraordinary weapon 'Dragonfly Cut' was broken in half and stuck in the ground.
The Winterhold extraordinary man 'Thunder Bear' Ursa knelt in front of Sakura Anzi, his back was covered with burns and scars, only a few strands of his hair were burned, and the high-tech weapons 'Thor's Claws' on his hands were broken into pieces. It seemed that he was acting as a meat shield for Sakura Anzi.
Iron Sun Transcendent 'Shadow' Daze was nailed to the ground by dazzling spikes like moonlight. His palms, shoulders, torso, thighs, calves... dozens of spikes pierced him into a hedgehog. His clothes were quite intact, but his face was bleeding from all seven holes and his body was twitching from time to time, indicating that he was also on the verge of death.
Finally, the extraordinary Taoist priest You Jian, who even Zack was slightly afraid of, was being stepped on the knee and mouth by a man. The water mines spreading under him were frozen by ice, but the white flying sword that could kill people thousands of miles away was being melted by white flames.
Those who use guns have their guns broken, those who use claws have their claws broken, those who use shadows have no shadows, and those who use mouths have their mouths rotten.
"This is more than just 'suppression'..." Zach whispered, and entered the angel state directly. The ferocious bald man with scars all over his body put on a shining angel helmet, and a pure white and golden battle armor appeared on his body. The wings woven by light covered the sky and the moon, and his hands tightly grasped two cross-shaped shining long swords.
At this time, the watchers who were watching the live broadcast breathed a sigh of relief. They were all insiders and naturally knew that the demon king, who was able to beat them to the brink of death despite being surrounded and beaten by four C-level extraordinary beings, was much stronger than they expected.
But Zack is still very handsome after turning into an angel form, enough to dispel everyone's worries, and Zack is a B-level watcher. Except for the Asgard World Tree, no one on Earth can compete with Captain Zack!
Zack thought so too, but when he observed the man, he found that the man’s energy level was a bit strange. Not only did it not reach the B-level (fifth turn), it was even barely C-level (fourth turn)... How did he suppress everyone?
At this time, the man turned his head, looked at him, smiled and said, "You're here?"
Six white flame wind columns burst out and shot into the sky, and Zach spread his wings and tried to avoid them. In this gap, he saw the man walking towards the ice coffin containing the demon king's body.
Ren Suo used the smallest ice coffin to lift Qiao Muyi out of the ice tomb, carried her on his back, and whispered, "From now on, we will never be separated in life or death."
The reason why he didn't kill them was that he wanted to collect enough negative energy from these more than one hundred extraordinary people through torture and deterrence to activate the third skill of the "Devil King"!
"Derived Skill ③·Dreadlord: Burn a large amount of negative emotions and transform into the form of a Dreadlord. Everything trembles wherever he goes, his words are soul-stirring, and everything he does is terrifying. In this state, the demon's physical fitness will reach the theoretical limit, the additional killing effect of 'Destroy Shadow' will be ten times stronger, 'Dominate Fear' will be automatically activated, and the additional skill 'Control the Source of Disaster' will be obtained."
Black flames ignited from Ren Suo's heart, covering his body and transforming into a black and hideous spiked magic armor. The ice coffin wrapped in black flames turned into a black coffin, pressing heavily on Ren Suo's back, making him unable to squat, lie down, or sit. He could only stand on the ground with the most arrogant attitude, proudly making an enemy of the whole world!
Zach crossed his two swords into a cross, the blades ignited with orange-red holy fire, and his body turned into light and disappeared.
At the same time, Ren Suo turned into a wisp of black smoke and dissipated. Countless ice waterfalls suddenly exploded at the spot, and the terrifying glacier swept across the earth in an instant!
Dozens of fire marks rose from under the ice, completely shattering the glacier. Zack flew out from it, and was greeted by five death spirals composed of bloody wind and black flames!
The light seemed to burn at this moment. Zack shouted loudly, and a dazzling light burst out from his body, extinguishing the death spiral!
"No one can suppress me anymore!" he shouted, "I am the only one who suppresses others!"
The light from Zack's body dyed the night sky into day, just like God's messenger coming to the world to kill sinners!
"Really?"
As Ren Suo's voice rang out, hundreds of dark moonlight rays pierced through the daytime egg shell made by Zack, bringing down the night again!
Dozens of death spirals rose up again, and Zack began to dance with his sword. The blazing holy fire turned into a giant blade that killed demons and cut through all evil things. Suddenly, he slashed fiercely at Ren Suo who appeared behind him!
"Justice will prevail!" Zack loudly pronounced the sentence for execution.
"Nothing more than that." Ren Suo commented calmly.
The moment the shadow hand filled with boiling darkness touched the flaming holy sword, it was like a torrent hitting a pile of sand, easily destroying the lightsaber and the flames!
boom!
Zack was knocked hundreds of meters away by the blow and broke several towering trees before falling to the ground. He let out a roar from his throat, and his armor and holy sword were immediately restored.
There was no pain on his face, only shock and disbelief.
"How is it possible..."
Hearing the strange sound of the wind, Zack spread his wings and flew into the sky, swung both swords together, and slashed a blazing cross at the ground!
The Death Spiral easily tore apart the Cross of Justice and knocked Zack away again like a train!
"He... was able to crush my attack!? He actually used D-level energy to crush my B-level attack!?" Zack finally figured out what had just happened.
At first, the Demon King was clearly unable to do this, but after fighting for a while, his attacks suddenly turned into evil magic that could restrain Zack!
Zack naturally didn't know that when "Insight into the World" that could see through all the details and "A Thousand Miles Away" that could reach the limit of deduction ability worked together, in addition to being able to copy all spells, they could also break all spells!
As long as he failed to kill Ren Suo instantly, as long as Ren Suo could break his defense, then the gap between the fifth turn and the third turn would be almost nothing!
But Zack's judgment of the Demon King is very correct: the Demon King will continue to evolve in battle!
Therefore, Zack immediately changed his tactics and cast other spells to stop the Demon King, trying to find the Demon King's weakness.
But after more than ten times, Zack was beaten so hard that all the cells in his body were replaced three or four times. He had to admit one thing: he was probably no match for the Demon King.
Being embedded in the ground again, Zach immediately flew up, holding his chin to quickly heal his mouth that had just been stuffed with a fist. Looking at the Black Coffin Demon King in the distance, he said coldly: "You are strong enough, but how long can you fight? Can your energy allow you to continue this high-intensity battle?"
The Demon King is not even a C-level extraordinary person, how much energy can he have? Even if the Demon King can harvest negative emotions to strengthen himself, but the fight just now was so intense, it must be almost exhausted now, right?
Even if I can't beat you, I will at least wear you out!
Speaking of this, Ren Suo was a little confused - there had been a constant and huge amount of negative emotions coming in, and according to the prompts, they were all English names, and he had no idea where they came from.
But even without these extra negative emotions, Ren Suo had already prepared his next plan.
Seeing the Black Coffin Demon King pointing behind him, Zack turned his head slightly and glanced behind him out of the corner of his eye——
factory.
Street lights.
Residential area.
Thousands of lights.
Before he knew it, Zack had been driven by the Demon King from the Missile Mountains to the 23rd District of Tokyo.
…
Ten minutes later, all the citizens of Tokyo were awakened from their sleep and heard the terrifying thunder coming from outside: "Angel Zack, how many times can you die?"
In the second observation deck of Tokyo Skytree at 450 meters, Zack, who crashed into the elevator shaft, spread his wings, holding the cross lightsaber tightly in both hands, with no fear in his eyes.
He saw the Black Coffin Demon King walking into the observation deck on the high-altitude wind. He saw the Black Coffin Demon King's gaze linger on the Nine-tailed Fox Photo Gallery for a few seconds, and he snorted coldly and asked, "Have you been here?"
"I came here with her."
"Are you and her a couple?"
"Um."
"For revenge, you are even willing to make the whole world your enemy?" Zack asked, "Do you know what you are doing now? It has nothing to do with the source of the chaos. Just your behavior and your ability... no country can tolerate you. Do you think the people you are carrying would like to see you become like this?"
"I don't know, but I will see her again soon, if I'm not mistaken." The hands of the Black Coffin Demon King boiled with darkness again, and his voice was like a fishhook, which aroused countless fears with the breeze: "The night is still long, Angel Zack, let's continue."
The negotiation failed, so Zach didn't waste any more words. He crossed his swords into a vertical cross and asked, "Do you love her, or do you love everything you have done for her?"
With a loud bang, all the glass in the Skytree shattered.
…
Standing on the top of the Skytree Tower, Ren Suo, who had just exited the Dread Lord state, saw the eastern sky gradually brightening, and thought that today should be a sunny day.
Unlike Hida, the snow comes very late in Tokyo.
With the help of "Insight into the World", he took in the whole of Tokyo with just a glance: Shibuya with three streets reduced to ruins, Ikebukuro Planetarium with a hole in the ceiling, Meiji Shrine with nearly half of its area frozen... and of course, the angel Zack who had smashed the Kaminarimon Gate of Sensō-ji Temple and was struggling to regenerate in the pit.
The city was in chaos, with panicked crowds trying to find ways to leave. Except for the two or three most marginal districts, everyone in Tokyo now knew that a terrifying demon king who punched Zack and kicked Youjian had come to Tokyo.
The fear of more than 40 million people flowed into Ren Suo from all directions. The police and the warriors of the Spirit Hall shrank back. The Self-Defense Forces seemed to be coming, and the outline of a fighter jet appeared in the sky in the distance.
However, Ren Suo was also leaving.
He had collected enough negative emotions.
He fished out a cell phone with only 2% battery left from his pocket - in the battle that night, apart from the ice coffin on his back, the thing he protected most carefully was this cell phone.
Because all the photos are in it.
Ren Suo checked the time and muttered, "6 o'clock... Is she awake? Ah, I almost forgot, Fanying is one hour ahead of China. It's already 7 o'clock in Lianjiang... Xiaojiu should get up for school, right?"
Ren Suo suddenly laughed out loud. He listened to the anger and fear surging in the city, feeling a sense of absurdity as if he were in another world.
He touched the amethyst necklace around his neck and activated the spiritual coordinates inside.
