My Avatar is Becoming the Ultimate BOSS

The jazz music echoing in the air has come to an end. The underground bar is dirty and chaotic, bloodstained, and a headless corpse is lying on its side on the ground, a stench and the smell of blood overwhelming the senses.

Xia Pingzhou slowly turns his head, his eyes looking at three children in hospital gowns on the Somersault Cloud.

Behind them, a pixelated door slowly closes, isolating the crumbling "Jurassic World" behind it, meaning they've lost their retreat.

"Another batch of little brats?" Jack raises his eyebrows.

She lifts her eyes, glancing at their hospital gowns and metal collars, immediately realizing these three are with those children in hospital gowns.

The white-haired girl pauses slightly, opening her eyes wide, her eyelids trembling as she looks at Sun Changkong.

As if she'd seen hope.

Ji Minghuan also meets Sun Changkong's gaze.

Ayase Origami steps in front of Xia Pingzhou, raising her kimono sleeve and gently pushing him backward.

Among the Salvation Squad's five members, only Mario's reaction seems relatively calm at this moment.

He closes the black handheld device, then raises his eyes from the screen, calmly looking at the five people ahead.

Mario raises his eyebrows, thinking: "Where are those people just now? Did they all run away, leaving only one playing chess? I thought they were together."

Thinking this, he starts to assess the situation. Mario is very self-aware: outside the game scene, he's just a weakling with a combat power of only five, hardly even a regular adult.

So... if we exclude the possibility of Ji Minghuan suddenly unleashing power, the Salvation Squad's combat capability basically relies on Sun Changkong and Filio.

And the woman in the school uniform in the bar looks dangerous, isn't ordinary, the woman in the kimono seems formidable too, at least the same level as the train woman just now.

Thinking like this, Mario isn't sure if they can win, especially with hostages in their hands.

"Need to negotiate with them, but... this guy doesn't seem like someone who'd sit down and talk." Thinking of this, Mario helplessly glances at Sun Changkong staying on the Somersault Cloud.

Sun Changkong and Filio react the same way.

Upon seeing Ji Minghuan with a scythe at his neck, their first response is to stand frozen on the spot, their eyes wide open, faces full of panic.

The next moment, Filio's beast eyes stand erect, the fur on his tail and ears starting to sharpen.

"Let them go...!" he shouts, his hoarse voice echoing in the silent bar, like a deep wolf howl.

Jack glances at him, thinking: Werewolf? This kid looks strange... And a bit like Bai Tanlang?

"Don't move, little brats." She says, "These two should be with you. If you don't want their guts pulled out, stay quiet."

Filio cramps his nose, grits his teeth, the violent red in his pupils becoming clearer.

Like the two kids in her hands, the three children in hospital gowns give Jack an extremely dangerous feeling.

Among them, the most noticeable is of course the swirling white mist in midair. For some reason, the sight reminds Jack of a myth from China:

-- "Journey to the West".

"Somersault Cloud?" She thinks, "Mythical-level marvel? Why would such a thing appear here? Truly fascinating... Once back, I must interrogate this newcomer properly."

Thinking of this, Jack glances at Xia Pingzhou's back, suddenly noticing an obvious bloodstain there, blood flowing down, staining his coat and pant legs.

"The newcomer is injured?" Jack raises an eyebrow slightly.

"Kong Youling! Ji Minghuan--!"

At this moment, watching the two being held hostage, Sun Changkong finally reacts, red pupils shrinking. She grips the Golden Cudgel, stepping on the Somersault Cloud angrily charging forward.

"Oh... this is what you chose."

Jack watches the rushing Somersault Cloud, her face darkens, the dark red scythe whirling in midair.

However, just as the blade is about to touch Ji Minghuan's neck, suddenly a clear light shines in the underground bar, almost illuminating the entire world.

She pauses slightly, looks towards the light source, seeing it comes from the diamond-shaped patterns on the wrists of the five children from the Salvation Society. The diamond at this moment is shining brilliantly.

In just a blink, all five children are engulfed by the sudden light, then disappear. Jack's dark red scythe swings to nothing, a crashing sound echoes, and a giant hack mark appears on the distant wall.

"What's happening, why so fast?" Jack watches around warily, thinking.

She never thought, at such a distance, anything could be faster than her scythe... Absolutely incredible, logically she should have been able to chop off Ji Minghuan and Kong Youling's heads within 0.1 seconds.

A moment of silence envelops the underground bar.

"Who are they?" Ayase Origami asks.

Xia Pingzhou shakes his head, raises his hand to his forehead, silent.

"Not sure... Anyway, they've been sent away." Jack says expressionlessly.

"Should we chase?"

"No chase... Haven't you noticed? The cat you keep is almost overwhelmed." Saying this, Jack uses her eyes to indicate the terrifying injuries behind Xia Pingzhou.
