American Comics: BOSS Invasion

A massive shockwave erupted, instantly piercing through the Earth.

This azure planet trembled for a few seconds before its core abruptly collapsed. The immense energy collided internally and externally, transforming into a cataclysmic explosion.

In this silent cataclysm, the Earth shattered into fragments.

The End.

… …

Of course, that's impossible!

While others might not know, Qi Shan suddenly felt himself plunged into a tumultuous storm.

Golden energy erupted like an explosion, resembling God's apocalyptic flood, engulfing everything, boundless and endless.

Qi Shan seemed to have become a tiny ant, so insignificant and minuscule compared to the towering waves dozens of meters high.

The energy within his body transformed into an ocean at this moment.

And it was the kind of colossal ocean from the One Piece world.

Qi Shan was certain that with a single thought, he could create the entire Soul Society.

He could even throw in Hueco Mundo for good measure.

He suddenly had the illusion that he had become God.

In the midst of this trance, a figure suddenly appeared before Qi Shan.

Then, the surrounding space suddenly folded like a spirit realm, continuously expanding outwards, forming a peculiar closed space.

The torrent of golden energy ceased, and Qi Shan recovered from his intoxicated state. He focused his gaze and was immediately taken aback.

"Ancient One!"

The newcomer was none other than that bald woman, slender in figure, draped in a simple mage's cowl.

She was the one who lived in seclusion in the Himalayas, the head of Kamar-Taj.

The Ancient One was definitely not simple. Despite her unassuming appearance and her near absence on Earth,

she had been helping Earth, resisting attacks from evil dimensions.

Her enemies were all Skyfather-level beings, arguably the most powerful enemies in the universe.

Moreover, she possessed the Time Stone, which allowed her to see past and future events to a certain extent.

She was definitely a force to be reckoned with.

Faced with Qi Shan's exclamation, the Ancient One smiled faintly.

"Mike Qi! Archbishop of the Black Order! It's a pleasure to meet you!"

Qi Shan suddenly reacted: "You've come to rewind time and save Earth?"

"You certainly know a lot!"

The Ancient One said calmly, then extended her right hand directly, pointing it at the Earth's previous location in a grasping motion. Her left hand gently manipulated her right wrist a few times, and a green wristwatch-shaped halo appeared on her wrist.

As she gently manipulated it, the Earth's debris, which was constantly expanding outwards due to the force of the explosion, suddenly paused. Then, a scene like a videotape rewinding occurred.

The entire process rapidly reversed, and the Earth quickly transformed from a state of being shattered into fragments back to its original, complete state.

Subsequently, the shockwave that had pierced through the entire Earth gradually disappeared.

Time completely returned to three minutes prior.

If Qi Shan hadn't been able to sense the vast golden energy within his body, he would have thought that what had just happened was merely an illusion.

"Ancient One?"

Qi Shan suddenly turned his head, but the Ancient One had already disappeared.

Only a voice was left, faintly echoing in Qi Shan's ears.

"Archbishop, the battle is not over, and evil still needs to be purged!"

Qi Shan was silent for a moment, his eyes slightly narrowed.

What exactly did she know?

Or had she already acquiesced?

On the other side, Jane's emergency communication directly interrupted the Avengers' channel.

"Everyone, the time and coordinates of the portal have been calculated. It will be in fifteen seconds, and the coordinates are…"

The Iron Man next to him shrugged and said: "Perhaps this plan won't be needed. In another fifteen seconds, Frieza will be burned to ashes!"

After speaking, he also froze.

"Not good!"

Natasha exclaimed.

Everyone hurriedly turned their attention to the external screen.

As expected, Frieza revealed a fiendish expression, hoarsely saying: "Earthlings, I will make you pay the price."

Then, he suddenly turned around and opened his mouth, firing a thick shockwave towards Earth.

At this moment, a figure suddenly appeared, directly blocking the shockwave.

Qi Shan spread his arms and legs to form an "X" shape, trying to maximize his contact surface.

Behind him, Byakuya Kuchiki, who had arrived at some point, had already released his Zanpakuto.

Billions of cherry blossom petals layered on top of each other, covering the ground, forming the first line of defense.

Beneath him, Zanza Kurumada controlled the giant Myo-o statue, with two mountain-sized Killing Stone slabs laid on the ground in the center.

Frieza's final attack, after Qi Shan's desperate absorption, Byakuya Kuchiki's blade array interception, and finally the Killing Stone's absorption,

the remaining power could no longer penetrate the Earth's crust.

Even so, under its powerful impact, the entire area was shattered, and the ground was forced down one kilometer.

The seawater instantly surged over, quickly submerging the open space.

Frieza widened his eyes in disbelief.

At this moment, a figure suddenly appeared behind him.

"This is valuable research material. We can't let him die like this!"

The newcomer was none other than Mayuri Kurotsuchi.

He wore a bizarre smile on his face, and his Zanpakuto mercilessly slashed at the back of Frieza's torso.

With a whoosh, blood splattered everywhere.

Frieza turned around with wide eyes, as if he had swallowed Mayuri Kurotsuchi whole. He opened his mouth, but couldn't say a word.

Mayuri Kurotsuchi chuckled: "Don't waste your breath! My blade is coated with Superhuman Drug, which can infinitely extend your sense of time.

In other words, one second under normal circumstances will be extended to 10 minutes, an hour, or even longer in your perception.

The difficulty of surpassing my poison will probably only increase to about a year.

However, an ordinary second is equivalent to a year of your time, and your nerve reflexes have also been infinitely extended.

In your eyes, even flying bullets will seem to be frozen in place.

And me speaking now, you can probably only hear buzzing sounds.

These short few seconds have already felt like an eternity to you, haven't they? That's the most terrifying thing about Superhuman Drug!"

Mayuri Kurotsuchi grabbed the falling Frieza, saying: "To achieve this effect, I really have to thank Captain Commander for severely injuring you. Otherwise, the special energy in your body might have neutralized the Superhuman Drug.

Experimenting would have been a lot more troublesome. Now, it's much easier!"

"Oh right! The Archbishop requested that your soul and body must be separated first. What a hassle. Clearly, dissecting the data together would be the most accurate."

Mayuri Kurotsuchi impatiently tore out Frieza's soul, casually kneading it into a small ball and stuffing it into his sleeve.

Then, carrying Frieza's corpse, he disappeared in a flash.

"Experiment! Experiment! Such valuable experimental material cannot be wasted!"
