Chapter 39 - I Am Zeus!

Chu He did not think for long before he chose to accept the mission.

It was not because he felt that he was awesome, but because he felt that his new girlfriend was powerful.

With his new girlfriend backing him up, Chu He accepted the mission with great ease.

After choosing to accept the mission, Chu He activated the lightning cells and used lightning to cover himself without harming Isa.

On the other side, because the enraged ghoul was too ferocious, the entire team suffered heavy casualties.

As for the Great Mage who cheated his way through, he had long disappeared from the scene.

Roosevelt led the remaining members of the investigation team to dodge the ghoul’s attacks. For some reason, the ghoul seemed to be staring at them. Instead of heading toward the city, it was chasing Roosevelt and the others.

“Director Roosevelt, what do we do now?”

A new member of the investigation team said with a panicked expression: “The ghoul’s pursuit is too fierce. There’s no way we can escape!”

“What’s there to be afraid of? If we can’t defeat it, we’ll fight to the death!” Alice said angrily when she saw the expression on the face of the new member.

“Alright, Alice!”

“Listen to me, this matter has blown up!”

“This time, I’m afraid even the higher-ups won’t be able to conceal it!”

“Other than me, you are the strongest one here. Bring these people and escape from here!”

“With your strength, it shouldn’t be difficult for you to escape with them!” Roosevelt said in a low voice.

Alice looked at Roosevelt and asked, “Director Roosevelt, what are you planning to do?”

“Me?”

“I’m the director of the San Francisco Magic Investigation Bureau. Now that this has happened, I have to take responsibility!”

“I will not pass on my responsibilities!”

“I will do everything I can to buy you time so that you can successfully escape!” Roosevelt said solemnly again.

A pair of black gloves appeared on his hands.

Roosevelt was determined to die.

Even if he could survive this time, he planned to resign because he had lost too many comrades today.

Last time, there was the demonic creature from St. Peter’s Private High School, now, it was the ghoul from the No. 1 National Cemetery of San Francisco.

He could not deal with either of them.

Last time, he had Apollo’s help.

This time, he felt that even if Apollo came, he might not be its match.

Roosevelt felt hopeless after thinking about this.

Right now, he only wanted to use his own life to cover the others’ retreat, to make up for his incompetence.

Just as he was about to charge out, a person surrounded by lightning suddenly appeared before them.

“The two of you should be in charge here, right?” Chu He’s voice sounded in Roosevelt and Alice’s ears.

“May I know who you are?” Roosevelt looked at the person in front of him. He had a feeling that this person was similar to Apollo, but he could not put his finger on the difference.

One was surrounded by flames, while the other was surrounded by lightning.

“I am the God of Lightning, Zeus!”

“Leave the demonic creature here to me!”

“All of you, stay here. Don’t leave!”

“Wait for me to finish the battle before you leave. Otherwise, don’t blame me if I accidentally injure you!” Chu He quickly instructed.

After giving his instructions, Chu He left.

“The God who controls lightning? Zeus?” Roosevelt looked with a stunned expression as Chu He left.

“Director Roosevelt, that man’s power is the same as when Bill cast the forbidden spell. Also, I feel that he’s hiding his strength. Maybe he’s even stronger than a Great Mage!”

“Other than a powerful civilian mage like Apollo, we actually have a powerful individual like Zeus as well?” Alice looked at Roosevelt in surprise and said slowly.

Roosevelt laughed bitterly and replied: “I’m not sure either. I didn’t know that San Francisco had such a powerful civilian mage!”

“Looks like I can only rely on Zeus this time!”

“However, he and Apollo are truly terrifying. To be able to cultivate to such an extent without any orthodox cultivation methods, their talents are truly exaggerated!” Roosevelt thought to himself.

…

After leaving, Chu He looked at the ghoul that was more than ten meters tall outside.

Without saying anything else, he gathered the lightning in his hands and quickly approached his opponent. Then, the Superman cells in his body activated instantly. With his strong physical strength combined with the power of the lightning, he threw a punch at his opponent.

Chu He was very fast. In the blink of an eye, he arrived in front of the ghoul.

Then, he punched its leg.

The punch penetrated the ghoul’s thigh. However, that was not all, Chu He used his lightning powers to send all the lightning on his fist into the ghoul’s thigh.

Lightning surged into the ghoul’s thick thigh.

After doing all of this, Chu He quickly retreated.

He reached a safe distance.

On the other side, the ghoul could not stand straight due to the wound on its thigh and immediately knelt on one knee.

At this moment, Chu He, who had retreated to a safe distance, snapped his fingers.

Snap!

He snapped his fingers.

The ghoul’s pierced thigh suddenly expanded.

Soon, the ghoul’s thigh reached its critical point, and the muscle fibers could no longer be maintained.

Bang!

An explosion was heard. The ghoul, who was kneeling on one knee, was blown up by the violent power of the lightning. Its entire thigh turned into a pile of minced meat that scattered like flowers in the sky. Then, a rain of blood fell from the sky.

Just as Chu He thought that he had dealt with this great demonic creature and was about to deal the finishing blow, Isa’s voice sounded.

“Baby, I think you should wait first!”

“This ghoul is not simple!”

After Chu He heard Isa’s words, he stopped and looked at the ghoul in front of him warily.

As expected, the ghoul’s thigh was regenerating at a visible speed.

In a moment, the ghoul’s thigh was as good as new.

“What happened? Isa, what is this?” Chu He looked at the ghoul’s thigh that was rapidly growing and asked Isa in confusion.

“This Ghoul Demon has been corrupted by the power of darkness for too long. It’s already showing signs of becoming a Demon Lord!”

“And from the looks of it, he has awakened the dark magic that absorbs life force!”

Isa patiently explained to Chu He.

“Then, how can I kill it?” Chu He asked again.

“If you only use the power of lightning, it will be somewhat difficult to kill it.”

“But if you can combine the other power with this lightning, killing it will be a piece of cake!”

“Is there no other way?” Chu He asked indignantly.

“Yeah…”

“Actually, I can leak a bit of my aura, but I’m afraid that if I get too close, I’ll crush it to death!”

Isa thought for a while and said in an innocent tone.

Damn it! I’m working myself to death here, yet I still can’t kill this demonic creature. But for you, just your aura can crush it to death!

Chu He complained to himself inwardly.

While Chu He was still hesitating, Isa’s voice sounded again.

“Darling, I think you need to make a decision quickly!”

“In my opinion, this great demonic creature seems to be preparing to absorb life force!”

“What do you mean?” Chu He asked.

“That means he’s about to break through!” Isa explained casually.

“Into a Demon Lord?” Chu He guessed and asked.

“Yes!”

“Furthermore, I estimate that if it wants to break through, one-third of the people in San Francisco will be forcibly drained of their life force!”

“So, you have to make a decision quickly!”

“Once it starts to absorb life force, three people will die almost every second!”

Upon hearing Isa’s words, Chu He’s brain began to work rapidly.

He was trying to figure out how to use the fire cells without being discovered by the rest.
