American Comics: BOSS Invasion

#1070 - Before the War

As the rooster crowed and daylight filled the Great Hero Hall, Little Butterfly abruptly awoke.

Instinctively, she wanted to flee, to escape the sunlight, but then she remembered she was different now.

The dilapidated Great Hero Hall from yesterday was now spotless. The massive hall was divided into upper and lower sections by meticulously arranged platforms. A huge bed, draped with gently swaying gauze curtains, stood prominently.

Little Butterfly was curled up naked in the covers. An inadvertent movement revealed a smooth back. Beside her lay a handsome man, chest bare, leaning lazily against the headboard.

Seeing him, Little Butterfly's cheeks flushed crimson as she instantly recalled the absurd events of the previous night.

Qi Shan turned his gaze to Little Butterfly, his eyes holding a hint of warmth compared to the night before.

Little Butterfly quickly said, "Young Master, you're awake. Please wait a moment, Young Master. Little Butterfly will assist you in dressing!"

"Mm! It's about time. I should get up!"

Qi Shan responded faintly and slowly rose. Little Butterfly picked up the clothes beside him, gently shook them out, and carefully helped Qi Shan put them on.

Once he was up and every detail was in place, she picked up a light veil and spun around a few times as if dancing, instantly transforming the veil into an ornate gown.

"Hm?" Qi Shan's tone rose.

Little Butterfly paused, her cheeks slightly red. She lightly tapped her foot, and the gown immediately transformed into a secretary's outfit, but with a layer of thin black纱 over the skirt, making it even more alluring.

As long as she wore the Shinigami attire and made minor changes, Qi Shan wouldn't mind. Besides, she looked very beautiful in it.

Just then, a knock came from outside the door.

Then a rough voice called out, "Captain!"

"Come in!"

To Little Butterfly's surprise, Qi Shan replied. Then the door was pushed open, and several figures slowly walked in.

Leading the way was a burly man with a demon-head greatsword, baggy trousers, and a bare upper body. His face was covered in whiskers, and his long hair hung down to his shoulders. It was clear at a glance that he was a reckless and rash person.

The young man behind him was the opposite. His Shinigami robes were neat and tidy, his outer garment fluttered, and his long hair draped over his shoulders. A noble's crest adorned his hair. His delicate face was expressionless, exuding a natural air of nobility with simple movements.

Further back was a strong man with a strange mask on his head and a physique like a bear, standing well over two meters tall.

Beside him, a petite woman with a indifferent expression and arms crossed followed closely.

The four of them stood in a line below the platform.

"Greetings, Captain. According to your orders, all Shinigami from Squad Two, Squad Three, Squad Six, and Squad Eleven have arrived and await your command!"

Little Butterfly's eyes widened. Although she had only recently become a Shinigami, she had been a ghost for many years and had a good sense of self-preservation.

Although the four people in front of her had different appearances and forms, the aura they exuded, whether or not it was visible, constantly told Little Butterfly: Danger, danger!

Any one of these four people could easily crush her to death.

So he wasn't alone. So he had such a huge force under his command.

The shock in Little Butterfly's heart was indescribable.

Qi Shan nodded calmly and said, "I contacted the target last night. Overall, their level is decent, barely able to withstand a captain.

The reason I sent out a third of our forces for a mere millennium-old tree demon is mainly because of the Black Mountain Demon behind her.

The Black Mountain Demon's true form is very likely a fallen mountain god.

After his monstrous attributes led him to the underworld, he quickly gathered a group of demons and ghosts in the underworld due to his innate advantages, occupied the City of Wrongful Deaths, and thus obtained partial interdimensional permissions.

Our purpose is to seize the interdimensional space! I think you know what to do!"

The bandit, carrying the demon-head greatsword, grinned and shouted, "Don't worry, Captain. Isn't it just looting? We're good at that!"

The other three remained silent, but their faces showed agreement. Clearly, they didn't take a mere millennium-old tree demon seriously either.

"In that case, go prepare. We'll move out tonight. As long as you find the coordinates of the interdimensional space and open the Garganta, this mission will be a success!"

Qi Shan looked at the four of them and said, "If there's nothing else, then dismiss!"

The four bowed their heads at the same time, and their figures flashed, disappearing instantly.

Qi Shan stretched lazily and slowly walked out.

"While the weather is nice, let's take a trip to the forest. We'll find the true form of the millennium-old tree demon and also find your urn of ashes!"

Little Butterfly was pleasantly surprised and quickly said, "Thank you, Young Master. I'll prepare the palanquin right away!"

In the crisscrossing dense forest, a strangely shaped palanquin was moving quickly. Two small tree spirits carried it, their roots sunk into the soil, using logarithmic movements to slide forward. They could move smoothly even when encountering roots, rocks, and ravines.

Little Butterfly had adapted to the Shinigami form. Although she could no longer fly, she could use the Shinigami's Flash Step, standing in the air and creating footholds with spiritual pressure. With just a light touch, she could move forward as if flying.

"Young Master, Grandma's true form is a millennium-old locust tree. After so many years of cultivation, plus sucking human blood and devouring souls, her true form is already unpredictable.

This forest is as vast as the ocean, with no end in sight. There are definitely many ancient trees that are thousands of years old. How are we going to find her?"

Qi Shan said indifferently, "It's very simple. Ordinary trees cannot develop intelligence. If they have intelligence, it means they have a soul.

And we Shinigami are the ones who control the essence of souls. No soul can escape our grasp.

Your Shinigami body hasn't fully adapted yet. After a while, I'll teach you Hado and Bakudo.

Mastering these two kinds of spells will give you powerful attack power, allowing you to deal with more than 90% of situations.

If we want to find someone, we don't need to use our eyes at all. Yesterday, the tree demon fought with me and left behind her soul aura. This is her fatal flaw!"

Qi Shan sneered, "Found it!"
