Chapter 524 Collecting Talismans
[Also, you have another thought. You've always been a lowly fishmonger, then the chairman of the Qiangsheng Group, obsessed with power. Simultaneously, you merged with your other self, becoming a cosmic overlord who roams the universe undefeated, yet feels a deep sense of emptiness due to your invincibility.]
Although they share some common ground, their goals are conflicting, even diametrically opposed. You long to return to Kyokai, even if it means starting over as a fishmonger. At the same time, you yearn to return to your world as leader of the Dark Matter Pirates, searching for the man the fortune teller foretold as your destined battle partner.
You know that the power of the tiger talisman is to balance yin and yang. So, is it possible that you could use it to balance the conflicting forces, allowing yourself to split back into two, each returning to their own worlds and fulfilling their own wishes? You express your anticipation.
As the leader of the Black Hand Gang, Valon has a group of loyal subordinates, such as Zhou, Lasu, Afen, Afu, and Tru. While their strength is mediocre, only slightly stronger than Tang Xiaolong and Tang Xiaohu, with the help of the three top fighters, Meluzagarudo, Gloribas, and Goryuganshup, they should be able to easily collect the twelve talismans, as well as some other items of interest to you.
At your request, Valon took you to see the Holy Lord. It's a statue of a coiled dragon, with twelve small holes embedded in its body for talismans. Even in its stone form, you can still sense the powerful power within it. No wonder, in the story's setting, it once ruled the entire Asian continent, and only the gods could suppress it. If it were fully revived, it might be able to fight you.
But upon seeing you, the Holy Lord's reaction was far greater than you'd expected. He immediately summoned a vast army of shadowy figures to surround you. But in your opinion, each of them was no more powerful than his former top henchman, Tang Xiaohu, and quite unimpressive. He dispatched them with a single energy beam, annihilating them completely. The aftermath destroyed Walon's office.
[Too weak! You feel so bored. If the statue could grow legs at this moment, you suspect the Holy Lord would run faster than anyone else.]
Then, under your coercion and inducement, the Holy Lord's attitude changed dramatically. He readily condensed energy from his body, transforming it into a talisman tracker. As for his other collections, such as the Golden Rooster King's treasure, the Nijia mask, and the Time and Space Crystal Ball, the Holy Lord told you that if you helped him collect twelve talismans, you could take them from his palace. This deal was not fair, but at least outlandish. You simply rejected him without hesitation, smiling and telling him: I consider you a wise man, so please don't treat me like a fool.
The talisman tracker allows you to track the location of the twelve talismans. So, starting on August 1999, 8, you had Valon begin collecting them for you. Meluzagarudo and Goryuganshup assisted them, while Gloribas remained aboard the spacecraft. During this time, the White House seemed to be making moves. They were intrigued by the advanced technology aboard your spacecraft, but also wary of you. You had no doubt they would attack you without hesitation if given the opportunity.
"But you're really looking forward to it. I wonder how they'll react when they discover that no weapon on Earth can harm you, not even nuclear weapons. The only ones in this world who could possibly harm you might be the legendary Eight Immortals, or some strange and bizarre treasure you've long forgotten."
Despite Meluzagarudo's obsession with "Stone Age" and his online romance, no one on this planet can stand up to him. Even if his body were shattered, it could be restored in a fraction of a second, fusing into its ultimate form of five heads. Even if "Furniture City God of War" Jackie Chan were a pervert, he's still only human. He's at most three to five times as strong as Tang Xiaohu. He shouldn't be able to defy the odds, right?
The result was exactly as you expected. It was a series of crushing defeats. Honestly, you felt a bit of empathy for the tragic villain, Valon, from the original storyline. From gangster boss to bus driver, isn't that a reflection of you? But now he can hold his head high. You would never mistreat your subordinates.
On August 1999, 8, with the help of a talisman tracker, at a museum in New York, the universe's foremost telekinetic master, Valon, with the assistance of Goryuganshup, easily found the Snake Talisman among a collection before Jackie Chan could retrieve it. He brought it back with him. Its function is to render the holder invisible. (You obtain the item: Snake Talisman)
You studied it and discovered that the talisman is a round octagonal runestone with a pattern composed of intermittent lines. The other side is engraved with different Chinese runes, four oracle bone inscriptions. It needs to be held in your hand to use.
[The energy contained within is stronger than you can imagine, seemingly unfathomable and limitless. Humans cannot unleash the talisman's full power, but it is still a great help to you.]
On August 1999, 8, at a logistics center loading and unloading cargo, Valon brought back the Sheep Talisman, which allows the soul to leave the body, allowing the spirit to fly away from the physical body. It can enter the dreams of sleeping people and even possess them. (You obtained the item: Sheep Talisman)
On August 1999, 8, the spell tracker pointed to an underground cave in Connecticut. Inside, your men discovered a dragon spell clinging to the wall. It could unleash a scorching, molten explosion, capable of immense destructive power. However, with your starburst abilities, it was somewhat useless.
[Also, to your surprise, in addition to Walon, another villain, Daolong, has also approached you. He's willing to become a "traitor" like Walon and become your lackey, but only if he gets the Dragon and Pig Talismans from you.]
If I remember correctly, the Pig Talisman's function is to create the Electric Eyes, causing the holder's eyes to emit high-voltage, heat-melting laser beams. It's actually quite a gimmick, but you only gave it a moment's thought before agreeing. Trading something you don't need for a capable subordinate is a good deal.
On August 1999, 8, in Bavaria, Germany, a spell tracker pointed to three directions simultaneously: an ancient castle in the southwest, a small town in the east, and a clock tower in the northeast.
After some discussion, Walon and Meluzagarudo headed towards the clock tower, while Ahfu, Truze, and Goluganshup headed east to the town. Old partners Zhou, Lasu, Afenze, and Daolong headed southwest to explore the ancient castle.
