The words hung in the air—
A hush fell across the multiverse.
Three-Body Universe – Earth
"Just as I thought!"
Luo Ji's eyes blazed with excitement.
D-14134 had pinned his hopes on the "key" from the start.
Recalling the man's earlier "mad" antics,
even Luo Ji felt a surge of admiration.
But then—
His smile froze.
The twisted sigils on D-14134's chest...
Oh no.
His face paled.
Was this the cost?
Jackie Chan Adventures – Section 13
The tension shattered.
Agents cheered.
"Unbelievable," Chief Black muttered. "To find a solution in this hellscape..."
"He's a hero!" Jade beamed.
"He's a superhero."
On-Screen
The shadow faltered—
Then its gaze snapped to the altar.
The audience saw it too:
The altar had changed.
Its tessellated tiles weren't fixed—they could be rearranged.
D-14134 had tested this earlier.
Now, if the original pattern was a concentric circle...
It had been inverted.
The realization hit:
If the ritual summoned the Lord—
Reversing it would seal Him.
The Shadow's Denial
"Delusional. Even if true, the ritual's incomplete—"
"Missing light, right?" D-14134 coughed. "Like you hoarded before."
The shadow stiffened. "Correct. Ample light is required. And here—"
It gestured at the void.
KA-THUNK.
Jinx hefted Fishbones, its Hextech core glowing.
D-14134 grinned weakly—
Fired his pistol at the alcohol trail he'd spilled earlier.
WHOOSH.
Flames erupted, blazing brighter than daylight.
The shadow's form fully exposed, it hissed: "You dare—?"
"Ants bite," D-14134 gasped, slumped over the altar.
His pulse faded—
But the ritual reversed.
One by one, the demons screamed, dissolving into mist—
Dragged back into his heart.
The shadow thrashed, its form unraveling.
"NO! This— This is impossible!"
Chatroom Explosion
"GODDAMN! A nobody just soloed a god?!"
"Holy shit—"
"I'm crying—"
Three-Body Universe – Earth
Luo Ji's joy lasted three seconds.
Then—
The horror dawned.
If the demons are sealed in his heart...
What happens to him?
