Ch 128: The Birth of an Actor

Luo Jiayou fell into a deep sleep in Ji Chuan’s arms, his spirit abnormally exhausted from the previous Crystal Core Spirit’s rampage.

After he wakes up, Xiao Ji will inform him of the current situation. Ji Chuan plans to have him plant pathogens nationwide for future relocation.

Regarding Jinglian City, Ji Chuan will say that the Monster has been severely injured and escaped, and there shouldn’t be any further actions in the near future.

Xiao Ji just needs to quietly absorb energy in a different location to avoid attracting attention; gradually, the Monster will fade from people’s sight.

Just as they were about to leave, three people rushed over and stood a short distance away, vigilantly watching them.

Leading them was a woman in red, sporting a hime cut hairstyle. A powerful aura emanated from her, her eyes bright and dangerous.

Red Crystal Core, 【Soul Reaper】.

Ji Chuan didn’t know the abilities of this Crystal Core, nor did he know why this woman was here.

“Captain Yu, there’s a strong Zombie presence here. Although they used some concealment method, I still detected it.”

One of the men behind her spoke, Red Crystal Core, 【Spiritual Awareness Warning】.

Hearing the other Captain’s words, Yu Yin looked at Ji Chuan vigilantly.

The other was clad in mecha, concealing their aura. This seemed deliberate. Was he a Zombie?

“Who are you?”

The woman’s voice was soft and slow, but her eyes were very alert.

“I am the holder of the God of Faith, entrusted by Jinglian City to eliminate the Monster. I just rescued this child from the Monster.”

Ji Chuan felt his explanation was perfect, but he didn’t understand why the man had detected him despite using Breath Holding and Aura Concealment. However, the other party wasn’t entirely certain, so they couldn’t pinpoint the exact target.

“Then take off your mask and release your aura.”

Yu Yin stared at Ji Chuan. If he were human, deliberately hiding his aura would be illogical.

Ji Chuan had a headache. If his identity as the God of Faith’s creator was discovered, his precarious position would be jeopardized. The fact that he controlled two cities would be exposed, and the progress of the God of Faith would become a major problem.

“What to do… That man’s Special Ability seems to be able to 100% confirm my existence…”

Ji Chuan suddenly thought of a plan.

Xiao Hui, who was still babysitting, was suddenly drawn back into Ji Chuan’s body. “Master, I’ve missed you!”

Xiao Hui finally found relief. After so long apart, Xiao Xuan and An’an were about to pull all his fur out.

“You impersonate me in the mecha and defeat me.”

Xiao Hui hadn’t grasped the situation yet, but he was already inside the mecha. Fortunately, he could communicate with Ji Chuan telepathically.

“3, 2…”

Yu Yin was doing a final countdown. If the other party still concealed themselves, she would attack this suspicious target.

“Your senses are sharp.”

Ji Chuan appeared behind the Spiritual Awareness Warning user, piercing his head in his terrified gaze and taking out his Crystal Core.

Ji Chuan coveted this Crystal Core. He was curious about the Special Ability that still worked against Breath Holding and Aura Concealment. After this act, he was going to try it.

「Master, what should I do?」

「Observe. I’ll beat them up pretty badly, then you make your move.」

「Understood!」

Xiao Hui was a little excited. The situation seemed fun, much more fun than babysitting!

However, he noticed Luo Jiayou in his arms. His body still contained the Crystal Core Spirit, which would likely be useful to his Master.

He had to find a place to put him first.

Yu Yin’s attention was entirely on Ji Chuan. The Zombie’s aura was actually coming from behind them. It seemed she had misjudged the robot.

“Number 1?!”

Each base had seen Number 1’s file: a powerful, communicative Zombie with incredible strength. They never expected it to appear in Jinglian City.

She didn’t dare to probe further, quickly using her Special Ability on Ji Chuan. But Ji Chuan didn’t react at all!

Yu Yin was very surprised. Why didn’t her Special Ability work on him?!

Her Special Ability was incredibly powerful, but not flashy.

Other powerful Special Abilities looked very cool, while hers caused instant death.

Whether it was a Zombie or a powerful opponent, as long as she willed it, the target would lose their life.

But against Number 1, her Special Ability had failed.

“Master, your God of Death Crystal Core is immune to all Instant Death Special Abilities.”

Ji Chuan understood. He could completely ignore this woman. Without the God of Death beforehand, this operation would have been far more dangerous.

The last of the three quickly attacked Ji Chuan. He possessed the rare Space-Type offensive Special Ability, the holder of the Red Crystal Core 【Dimensional Collapse】.

Once locked on by his Special Ability, the body would be infinitely compressed into a glass of juice.

Ji Chuan simply smiled. The moment the opponent started the lock-on, his whole body ignited in raging flames. The scream lasted less than a second before he turned to ashes.

The Crystal Core was drawn to Ji Chuan’s hand by shadows. Ji Chuan blew on the Red Crystal Core.

The fire had almost burned Yu Yin. She leaned back, falling to the ground, her hands supporting the ground as she retreated.

“Hey! Hey!”

She continuously used her Instant Death Special Ability on the terrifying Number 1, but Number 1 remained completely unaffected, steadily advancing towards her.

It wasn’t because Ji Chuan was soft-hearted, but because Yu Yin’s Special Ability was a low-level version of the God of Death’s; it was useless to him.

And he needed an audience for this play.

「Don’t just stand there, it’s your turn! The only audience left is about to die!」

「Woof woof! Sorry, Master, your performance was so awesome! I was completely captivated!」

Xiao Hui quickly licked Ji Chuan twice. He was very excited. He was acting as his Master! He had to act out his Master’s might and majesty!

“Evil and brutal villain Zombie, as the holder of the God of Faith, I shall represent humanity, represent justice, represent light, and today, I shall eradicate you, and you shall receive the judgment of faith!”

Xiao Hui energetically struck various poses he considered cool, changing his pose almost every sentence, making Ji Chuan want to destroy him on the spot.

「Attack quickly! Stop making those stupid moves! Or I’ll skin you alive!」

「Yes, my handsome Master!」

Xiao Hui quickly charged towards Ji Chuan. The mecha’s wolf claws had even more destructive power, striking Ji Chuan with the sound of colliding metal.

“So fast!”

Yu Yin couldn’t believe the speed and strength of this God of Faith. The arrogant Number 1 was now only able to passively defend!

Various elemental attacks landed on the God of Faith’s mecha, leaving no marks. The God of Faith fought with increasing ferocity, without any fear!

“Why do you always oppose me!”

“Because I must protect humanity! Justice must bring forth light!”

Hearing the God of Faith’s answer, Yu Yin’s heart skipped a beat.

Protecting humanity was protecting herself, wasn’t it? This man was so brave, he was her Hero, the messenger of justice.
