After not seeing them for many days, many demons had already taken human form.
They used mysterious and ancient magic to maintain a gorgeous and noble appearance.
The character designs were basically based on popular movie characters from Earth.
For example, the transformed mountain demon, Bogan.
She had a Japanese-style bun at the back of her head and wore wooden clogs. Her figure was just right, with a certain plumpness, and she surprisingly resembled Yami Nagasawa.
She had the appearance of a classic Eastern beauty, without a trace of being greasy or worldly.
Even the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes had the allure of an intellectual, mature woman.
"Big sister."
"Your image is truly stunning."
Shen Du gave a thumbs up, full of praise.
"It's still Sixth Brother who knows how to make a demon happy."
The voice of a charming, mature woman in a kimono complained, "The other siblings all make fun of my taste."
"Who?"
"Sixth Brother will take care of them for you!"
Shen Du thumped his chest, making a guarantee.
Crack.
Crack!
A burly giant in golden armor, with silver snakes writhing over his body and thunder and lightning crackling around him, suddenly approached the Hell Mirror. He revealed a fierce face covered in flesh and glared.
"It's me."
"Lord."
"Are you going to deal with me too?!"
Zhong Su, the Lightning Demon!
He looked just like the Hollywood newcomer, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson!
He was nearly two meters tall, with an unprecedentedly strong visual impact.
And the strongmen among the gods.
The god of thunder and power are almost evenly matched!
Strictly speaking, the power of the trigrams controlled by the lightning demon Zhong Su is definitely not inferior to the inherited Odin's power of Asgard!
Odin's power.
It doesn't refer to the power of the god-king Odin.
But the power of faith.
The ancient god's power inherited from the first god-king to his direct descendants!
The birth of the gods on Earth is inextricably linked to the four ancient gods.
Gaia!
Chthon! Set!
Atum! The four ancient gods all possess unparalleled strength.
They controlled unique rules and order.
The origins of the Asgardian lineage involved the Great Mother, Gaia.
Of course.
Over the long passage of time and shifting eras, Earth no longer had space for the Ancient Gods to operate.
The power of the hexagrams controlled by the ancient demons was undoubtedly even more unfathomable!
They symbolized the power of eight natural elements.
However, Hell had eroded the demons' wisdom. The unchanging days of many years had also caused the ancient demons' magic to decline!
"...Fortunately, my plan succeeded."
"To stimulate my siblings through external things."
"It has thoroughly awakened the fighting spirit of the ancient demons!"
Shen Du clapped his hands and said.
Once everyone is completely familiar with their new forms,
they can open the Hell Gate and welcome the return of their brothers and sisters!
Yes.
Dr. Drake has already deciphered the location of a Hell Gate.
However, no one mentioned it, keeping it hidden for the time being.
Once Shen Du gathers all the talismans, he will begin to unseal the Hell Gate!
Before then, the ancient demons should stay in hell.
Otherwise, alarming the descendants of the Eight Immortals who have taken root in the land of China would have dire consequences.
They would be expelled once more! Facing the tragic end of eternal damnation.
"Divine artifacts."
"The Lord."
"These are our shared weaknesses!"
With eyes blood red, tall and imposing, an elegant Taoist in a noble robe spoke, his voice eerie and enchanting, a warning.
Chou Lan!
The eldest of the Eight Demons.
A real deal boss.
Even if everyone had their own opinions, they still had to take his words seriously.
After all, Chou Lan could control gravity!
One of the four fundamental forces of nature!
Theoretically, Chou Lan was the strongest demon.
Because gravity was universal, a fundamental property of all matter! It was responsible for governing and maintaining the stable motion of all things in nature.
Even a slight deviation could cause unimaginable chain reactions, potentially destroying the world and triggering cosmic tides!
This was something none of his siblings could do!
"Don't worry."
"Big brother."
"I am searching for a solution."
Shen Du lowered his hands, signaling the demons to calm down.
"Heh heh heh heh!"
"Holy Master!"
"It seems you've gathered most of the talismans?"
"Compared to the last time we met, your power has grown again, making us feel in awe!"
The child with bat-like wings cackled.
This was Xi Mu!
Xiao Yu's only friend in the show.
Sem!
His intelligence was on par with the Dark Lord.
He immediately and keenly sensed the Dark Lord's transformation.
"What?!"
"We've endured the tortures of Hell, and you were secretly getting stronger?"
"Dark Lord!!"
"Have you still not deciphered the Box of Pandora?"
"I see you're toying with us!"
A burst of violent, ear-splitting sound exploded.
In a barren, desolate alternate dimension, there wasn't a blade of grass to be seen, and the air was thick with a murderous aura!
The demons were enraged! They couldn't wait to escape hell and teach the Saint Lord a lesson, showing him who was boss!
"Brothers and sisters," Shen Du said, his voice laced with a hiss.
"Don't be rash."
"Have you forgotten the promise we made?"
Shen Du narrowed his eyes, a tangible, overwhelming black aura spreading across his body. "To help me rebuild a glorious, everlasting demon empire!"
A demon empire?
How ridiculous!
The demons couldn't help but burst into a chorus of piercing mockery at the words.
"We will reclaim our respective domains!"
"Holy Lord!"
A beautiful woman in a sea-blue gown, her skirt adorned with sparkling chips, her bearing both noble and arrogant, chided with a laugh, "The underwater kingdom of Atlantis is my true home!"
"The land of China you govern is filled with drought and desolation, not a place for me to dwell!"
Whoosh! Whoosh!
A swirling, howling hurricane swept past.
A man of dignified appearance, followed suit, echoing, "Holy Lord, it's not that we're betraying you, but your plan is simply unrealistic!"
"We're all powerful demon sorcerers."
"Great masters who control the power of divination!"
"Who would willingly submit to being a demon's subordinate?"
Indeed.
This is the core conflict!
Even with the passage of time, this fact cannot be changed! The reversed pattern of Yang overpowering Yin further fueled the arrogance of the ancient demons.
Therefore, even staying in Hell allows for the rapid recovery of magical power and successful transformation!
"I hope everyone carefully considers my suggestion."
"Until next time."
A cold smile played on Shen Du's lips as he left the chamber where the Hell Mirror was kept, vanishing into the distance.
The city of sin across the ocean.
New York.
Westchester!
An ancient manor that has stood for countless years, still standing strong.
Vines and climbing ivy embraced the walls.
In the courtyard, the fountain and sunlight echoed each other, casting a gorgeous and brilliant rainbow.
Flowers clustered around the pool.
This was Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters.
It was a place specifically designed to house and educate mutant orphans whose abilities were prone to becoming uncontrollable.
All of the X-Men were instructors, responsible for teaching multiple courses.
They covered subjects like moral philosophy, social interaction, life skills, history, and languages.
In addition, there were also elective courses and club activities.
It was no different from a world-renowned, top-tier university with a massive scale.
The only difference was Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters.
Whether it was the principal, the teachers, or the students, they were all a type of anomaly that the Earth government found hard to tolerate.
In China, they were called "Awakened Ones."
In the Western world, they were defined as mutants!
General William Stryker, a hawk of the United States, had always propagated the theory that mutants were harmful.
The official mouthpiece also considered them a severe disaster!
A tumor on civilization!
They must be eliminated as soon as possible.
However, the Xavier estate, located on the Hudson River, was like a paradise, shielded from external interference.
This was a tacit agreement between Professor X and the White House.
"...Are you sure about enrolling?"
"Becoming a new student at Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters?"
The handsome, upright, and refined young man looked puzzled and asked again.
"Yes!"
"The scenery here is so beautiful, and there are many people my age. I really like it here."
The young girl in a child's outfit, with two wisps of bangs and bright, cunning eyes, seemed to long for admission to the Xavier estate.
"Alright."
Shen Du covered his forehead, chuckling wryly.
He never dreamed that bringing Xiao Yu to New York ahead of schedule to prepare for the trial and confront Tony Stark in court would lead to such an absurd "god-tier development."
It seemed fate was making his connection with Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters even closer.
Was this the script of the Time Keepers?
Or the work of the natural will?
"Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters is very pleased to welcome Ms. Xiao Yu."
The kind-faced, bald old man, sitting in a wheelchair, said with sincere approval.
"Professor..."
"The girl who is with the Dark Lord..."
The female headmaster, with her fiery red hair and a rather shapely figure, hesitated before speaking.
