Dikui!
Symbolizing the earth that bears all things.
Master of the divination powers, with a strong and imposing physique, courageous and fierce.
Even Shen Du could not guarantee a clean victory against Dikui.
Let alone a lowly mutant heretic?!
"Interloper!"
"Die!"
A resounding and powerful voice of intimidation echoed.
Lightning flashed in unison, thunder resonated.
Zhong Su hurled thunder and lightning, raising his hand to strike a dazzling energy beam that suddenly tore a gaping chasm through the earth!
Instantly, a bottomless cliff appeared out of nowhere, directly blocking the mummy general's path!
"Baka!!"
Tara shouted angrily.
Immediately, he sprang like a stalk from dry land, forcefully kicking toward the towering and muscular dragon-man!
A standard judo kick!
Powerful and heavy enough to shatter a boulder!
"Mingdiao!"
The massive figure, muscles coiled and defined, swung the plastic-formed spear several meters long, adopting a standard striking stance!
Ka-chak.Ka-chak.
Intense black lightning spread across the Azure Dragon Crescent Moon.
As if activating the bird-and-beast carvings on the handle, the magical runes containing the secrets of the universe radiated brilliant light.
A monumental spear-force rainbow several meters wide instantly poured forth, precisely striking the phantom demon king Tara!
Engulfing him!
Blasting him away!
The ironclad magnificent palace was close at hand!
The chronicle that recorded all history of the past would soon change hands!
"Want to seize the Shadow Kingdom?"
"…Did you ask for my opinion?!"
The red-faced, high-nosed Great Tengu shouted sharply.
Immediately, he gripped the hilt of the Sword of Righteousness and Evil Exorcism, chanting an ancient and profound incantation.
The scattered blade fragments on the ground floated into the air, reassembling into a samurai sword, gleaming with translucent sharpness.
This was the characteristic of Nujumaru Kouji!
In prehistoric times, the gods of Fusang even called it a Zanpakuto!
A truly demonic blade!
A thousand blades!
Countless titles and names all testified to the danger and terror of this Sword of Righteousness and Evil Exorcism!
"Eh?"
Approaching the magnificent palace, Shen Du suddenly felt a long-lost thrill in his spirit!
It was as if his senses had been elevated to an unparalleled level.
Extremely acute.
He could almost feel time itself slowing!
Pores, skin—everything was on alert!
Spider-sense!
"Thousand-Blade Flying Star!"
A strange and magical shout rang out.
A nine-meter-tall primitive demon, with wings spanning several meters, appeared, its body covered in dense blade fragments, charging toward Shen Du!
Thousand-Blade Flying Star!
The sword transformed into countless invisible, transparent micro-blades, enough to blanket the target's area, blocking all escape routes and launching indiscriminate area attacks!
Once before,
The beast used this technique to slaughter gods!
Without a doubt, the Lord of Saints would be beheaded!
No burial ground!
Immediately, countless transparent micro-blades shredded the Lord of Saints' body!
Molten lava splashed out, instantly melting whole clusters of blades!
"Nani?"
"What's going on?!!"
The Great Tengu's face was full of confusion.
Lava?
Why had the Lord of Saints turned into a puddle of molten rock?!
The intense heat could even melt Nujumaru Kouji!
"Great Eruption!!"
A resonant roar echoed across the sky.
A fist-shaped mass of molten lava suddenly expanded, swelling to an incomprehensible scale!
Covering several dozen meters in radius, it slammed directly into the primitive demon!
Thousands of degrees of terrifying heat sprayed everywhere.
Even tiny sparks could burn pores painfully, causing deadly third-degree burns!
Skin carbonized.
Wounds looked like leather.
Even if healed, scars would remain!
"Beast!"
Tara hurried to assist.
But it was useless!
He could not withstand the terrifying impact of the Great Eruption, being dragged thousands of meters by the fist-shaped lava!
Along the way, countless hills and ridges were smashed.
The scorching lava spread freely.
Clearly, the power of the Great Eruption was beyond imagination!
"This…"
"I probably couldn't withstand it either!"
"The primitive demon is dead for sure!"
Zhong Su and Dikui exchanged glances.
Great Eruption?
Was this a brand-new ability of the Lord of Saints?!
Could it be…
The divination power he wielded had awakened?
Incredible!
Vwoom!
Using the power of the Chicken Charm, he conjured an invisible giant hand, controlling the iron palace to float and moving nearby broken walls and debris.
Inside the lavishly decorated Golden Hall courtyard,
Shen Du, blessed in spirit, immediately discerned the exact positions of the Time Chronicle and Tara's mask.
Pushing open the heavy wooden doors, the smell of accumulated history wafted out.
"As expected!"
"The Time Chronicle is the Chronical of Time!"
Shen Du's eyes flickered.
Not far away, on the display altar, ancient and solemn tomes were laid out.
The Time Chronicle's pages were open, filled with tiny golden calligraphy, propped up by dragon-shaped ornaments, with an ink brush and inkstone beside them.
The book recorded all history of the Shadow Kingdom!
This was the chronicle written by time itself.
Any text written within it would instantly become reality.
Of course,
Only within the Shadow Kingdom's plane!
Once removed from the Shadow Kingdom, all alterations would be void!
Strictly speaking, the Chronical of Time was not unique. Even capable of surpassing a single Infinity Stone, it could affect mind, reality, time, soul, power, and space—
Creating transformative change!
Chronical of Time.
All planes, planets, and dimensions exist within it!
Whoever controls the Chronical of Time controls the world!
If Shen Du could find the Chronical of Time in the Dark Dimension…
The Dark Dimension would also change hands!
The Chronical of Time was the embodiment of authority!
Hence, it could reverse past and future, roll back timelines, and return Earth to ancient eras!
In reality, worlds beyond Earth remained unchanged.
"The Chronical of Time can revise history…"
"This has already been shown in the story."
"Changing a name shouldn't have negative effects."
Shen Du smiled, manipulating the levitation force to flip through the Chronical of Time.
Rumble!
The noise of a machine counting bills echoed.
On the title page, four magnificent golden characters appeared:
[Tarakudo]!
This was the true name of the Phantom Demon King.
Wait.
Which name should I write?
Lord of Saints?
Shendu?
Kaido?
"Nima!"
"Randomly picking a codename isn't wise!"
Shen Du pinched his chin, frowning.
Then, the magnetic narrator spoke again, adding crucial guidance to Shen Du.
"The Chronical of Time."
"The carrier of all worldly phenomena, the medium of civilization and time."
"Origin unknown."
"Yet maintaining all order from past to present!"
"Even stamping it changes ownership."
"It seems the Lord of Saints is unaware of these mysteries."
Youatu spoke gently.
He had been tracking Shen Du for a long time, following him since the Battle of New York. Even during apocalyptic outbreaks in other dimensions, he paid little attention.
Because he sensed the aura of the Outer Wall World on the Lord of Saints!
A secret, majestic, indescribable plane.
How many beings had carried this aura before?
Apparently, the others had all been dissected by the Cosmic God Assembly!
"Better to stamp it directly!"
A spark of inspiration hit Shen Du.
He dipped his claw in ink and forcefully stamped it on the Chronical of Time's title page, covering the four characters Tarakudo!
Vwoom!!
Vwoom vwoom vwoom!!
The Chronical of Time radiated a dazzling brilliance.
Invisible waves spread, irradiating the entire Shadow Kingdom!
In an instant, the Shadow Kingdom changed dynasties, the kingdom passed into his hands!
He had established a soul resonance and intimate connection!
He could now sense everything in the Shadow Kingdom clearly.
Successfully stealing all of the Phantom Demon King's authority!
"Impossible!!"
Tara's scarred, burned face screamed in frustration.
He had just realized the Chronical of Time had changed hands.
He had lost his position as Phantom Demon King!
Through signing the Chronical of Time, Tara could command the Shadow Kingdom, controlling its nine legions of shadow warriors.
Now the kingdom was lost!
Even his mask became the Lord of Saints' toy!
At this point, there was no need to continue fighting.
"I will recover and lead allies from the Shadow Domain to subdue the Lord of Saints!"
The Great Tengu's monk robe had burned, his body charred, teeth missing, even speech leaking.
All his hair was gone, scorched by the molten lava!
Nerve endings continuously fired, sending excruciating pain.
For the first time, the primitive demon considered retreating!
Earth was too dangerous!
Sizzle!
His fingertips, like blades, sliced through the dimensional barrier, opening the entrance to the Shadow Domain and stepping through hastily!
Had he hesitated, he would have been frozen in place by the Chronical of Time!
"A pity."
The towering figure flashed, appearing before Tara.
"Lord of Saints!!"
"I will reclaim the Shadow Kingdom sooner or later!"
Tara, seeing this, bared his teeth and roared.
The Chronical of Time could not move or be hidden.
It was the keystone maintaining all history.
Tara had built the iron palace to protect it, yet the Lord of Saints had melted his exquisite palace!
"Provided you can break the Onion Curse."
Shen Du smiled.
Onion!
Tara's nemesis!
Touch it, and green tears would flow, vision blinded, worse than death.
"Onion Curse?!"
Tara's face changed drastically.
Then several mummy generals followed, forming a line under the new leader's orders:
Yashida Shingen
Red Tank
Zengwu
Death Maiden
Serpent Walker
Angel
Spirit Butterfly
Darwin
All completely reduced to Shen Du's puppets and servants!
The last two mummy generals were Spirit Butterfly and Darwin.
Spirit Butterfly:
Wearing a tight leather suit, bust prominent, deep cleavage, typical mixed-race features. Half of Tensun ethnicity. Capable of manifesting weapons in psychic forms!
Darwin:
Alpha-level mutant.
With the ability of survival of the fittest, infinite evolution, rewriting genetic material based on environment and physical condition, multiple beneficial mutations!
Cellular activity at terrifying extremes.
During the First Battle, he joined the X-Men, attacked by Hellfire Club's Black King, body destroyed from within out.
Not truly dead!
Resurrected via infinite evolution, memory lost, barely surviving to the present.
"…I'm defeated!"
"Do with me as you will!"
Tara's eyes reddened; he finally admitted defeat, staring at the mummy generals with lost reason.
"Rearrange the ritual."
"Tear the barrier to the Shadow Domain."
"I may spare your life."
Shen Du smiled.
Spare life?
Tara laughed, seized Yashida Shingen's demon blade, Kodomo-giri Yasutsuna, and disemboweled himself on the spot!
A dignified death!
"Tara still has some backbone."
"Earned my respect."
Zhong Su and Dikui descended, giving a thumbs-up.
"Dessert after the meal?"
Bogang opened his maw and swallowed Tara's corpse whole!
Burp! Seven-tenths full!
The mountain demon smiled broadly.
"Enough."
"I will personally survey the Shadow Domain."
Shen Du gazed steadily.
He didn't care about Tara's actions.
The Phantom Mask survived; Tara was never truly gone!
All just theatrics!
"Seven masks in hand…"
"Time to see Xiao Yu."
Xiao Yu, currently at Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters.
Apparently became a school bully, often bringing along Fire Kid to fight injustice.
"Xiao Yu?"
"Quickly decipher the Panku Treasure Box!"
"Don't waste time; our brothers and sisters are already impatient!"
Zhong Su and Dikui exclaimed in unison.
Indeed, after years of monotonous life in a desolate, barren dimensional space, everyone was anxious!
"Don't worry."
"Soon, all brothers and sisters will gather in the real world."
"And no longer fear divine relics!"
Shen Du promised.
"Good!"
"If you can truly remove divine relics, all grudges are wiped clean!"
Bogang clapped his hands.
…
Across the ocean, Westchester.
Xavier Estate.
Armed, rapid-response forces, layers upon layers, surrounded the world-famous mutant academy.
X-Mansion!
A long-standing political game had finally reached a pause.
General William Stryker had achieved total victory, even General Thunder had risen, soon to become Secretary of Defense!
For X-Mansion, Stryker had always seen it as a thorn, a flesh wound!
Previously, Alexander Pierce had protected it; now, with the political shuffle, it was time to eliminate this threat!
Vwoom vwoom!!
New armed helicopters circled above.
New infantry vehicles lined the streets.
Tanks were stationed along both sides.
Military speedboats docked by the Hudson River.
Full land-sea-air encirclement!
Determined to flatten Xavier School for Gifted Youngsters!
"Hank."
"Evacuate all students immediately."
"I'll delay the Sentinel Special Ops action myself."
The bald elder in the wheelchair turned the wheels, heading alone to Xavier Estate's main gate.
Professor X!
Charles Xavier.
Headmaster of the Mutant Academy.
Even in decrepit old age, with degenerative brain disease, his natural sense of justice compelled him to bear all burdens.
"Charles!"
"Where should we go?"
Beast Hank looked worried.
Genosha? Or…
