"Such powerful divine energy fluctuations..."
A thought flashed through Blackheart mind as his eyes narrowed slightly.
He instantly recognized that the woman who had just appeared was an unprecedentedly formidable opponent.
The arrogance and disdain in his gaze quickly faded.
"You're not human!"
The moment Blackheart laid eyes on Wonder Woman, he reached this conclusion.
The difference between gods and humans was vast, and the most obvious indicator was the terrifying divine energy radiating from her body.
For a demon, this sensation was even more pronounced.
Moreover, Blackheart couldn't perceive her soul—it was as if her soul was under the protection of an immensely powerful being.
"You hypocritical gods… Are you once again here to protect humanity?"
Blackheart sneered.
Even though his opponent was powerful, he hadn't forgotten that there were four demons on his side. Numerically, they had the advantage.
As for the humans standing beside Wonder Woman, Blackheart completely ignored them.
That was the arrogance of demons.
They could grovel before a stronger being, but when faced with an opponent of the same level, they never acknowledged them as equals.
And as for beings on a lower tier—such as ordinary humans without extraordinary abilities—they weren't even worth considering.
"Hypocritical?"
Wonder Woman raised her sword and pointed it at Blackheart, her tone calm.
"If we're talking about hypocrisy, I doubt anyone surpasses you demons."
"To us, that actually a compliment."
Blackheart grinned. "But even if you flatter me, I won't go easy on you."
Whoosh!
The moment his words fell, he erupted with blinding speed, leaving behind afterimages in the air as he blitzed toward Wonder Woman like a lightning strike.
The Rabbit Talisman
The Rabbit Talisman granted its wielder incredible speed, enhancing both movement and the kinetic force of any impact, effectively replicating super speed.
When enhanced by ion resonance waves, the Rabbit Talisman power could even allow time travel, surpassing the speed of light and piercing through interdimensional wormholes.
Of course, Blackheart had not reached that level—yet.
Wonder Woman expression remained unchanged.
Sensing Blackheart charging at her, she calmly raised both silver bracelets, bringing them together.
In an instant, she unleashed a colossal divine energy shockwave.
BOOM!!
The shockwave exploded outward like a tidal wave.
Blackheart, caught head-on, had no time to stop.
The overwhelming force smashed into him, sending him hurtling backward like a ragdoll, utterly devastated.
CRACK!!
The wall behind him caved in, deep fissures spreading like spiderwebs toward the corners of the room.
The ceiling trembled violently, sending dust and debris cascading down—the first sign of an imminent collapse.
"Not good!"
Blake immediately realized the danger. "This place is about to cave in!"
"Run!"
Wonder Woman suddenly turned to Blake and the others, her eyes sharp.
"Leave this place. I'll handle them."
"This…"
Blake hesitated for a second before making his decision.
"Alright, please—take them down, Wonder Woman."
With that, he motioned for his officers to retreat.
"Everyone, get out—don't stay behind and become a burden!"
"Understood."
"Yes, sir!"
The officers took one last glance at the battlefield. Their gazes lingered on Wonder Woman, a flicker of hope flashing in their eyes before they quickly followed Blake toward Base 13.
However, Jackie Chan and Tohru stayed behind.
So far, Blackheart and his demons had stolen four Talismans—the Rabbit Talisman, Dragon Talisman, Tiger Talisman, and Rat Talisman.
That left eight remaining Talismans in Jackie and Tohru possession: Ox, Snake, Horse, Sheep, Monkey, Rooster, Dog, and Pig.
Each of them held four, meaning they weren't completely defenseless.
"Tohru!"
Jackie gritted his teeth. "Take the Snake, Pig, Rooster, and Sheep Talismans—I'll handle the rest.
We must work with Wonder Woman to defeat these demons. We can't let them deliver the Talismans to saint!"
"Understood. Don't worry, Jackie."
Tohru nodded solemnly.
Clutching the Talismans in his hands, his body vanished instantly, using the Snake Talisman power of invisibility.
From the shadows, he activated the Rooster Talisman, releasing blazing energy beams like lightning toward the three demons besides Blackheart.
Water Demon raised his hand, forming a water shield in midair to block the attack.
Zzzt! Zzzt! Zzzt!
Electricity crackled and gathered inside the shield, intensifying.
The Water Demon expression darkened—he could sense that Tohru power had changed with the Talismans in his possession.
Meanwhile, Jackie Chan wielded the Ox Talisman super strength combined with the Horse Talisman healing abilities, engaging in direct combat with the Earth Demon.
Occasionally, he used the Monkey Talisman to transform into different animals, while the Dog Talisman kept him in peak condition, allowing him to hold his ground against the Earth Demon.
The Wind Demon, observing the battle, let out a sneer.
"You two are pathetic—I'll take care of this myself."
With a shrill laugh, the Wind Demon shot forward toward Jackie, who had transformed into an eagle, soaring through the air.
Jackie face changed.
At That Moment—BOOM!!
A thunderous explosion echoed from nearby.
Everyone turned their heads—Wonder Woman and Blackheart battle had reached its peak.
With the power of the Talismans and his own dark magic, Blackheart unleashed power far beyond his original capabilities.
"You think I would hand the Talismans over to saint?"
Blackheart laughed maniacally, his ambition burning like a raging inferno.
"If I can claim all Twelve Talismans, combined with my own demonic power, I will have the strength to challenge my father!" His eyes gleamed with madness.
"But I won't stop at becoming Lord of the Underworld—I will become the ruler of Earth!"
"Humanity will be my slaves… And you…"
His gaze locked onto Wonder Woman, a cruel grin spreading across his face.
"I will rip your soul from your body and make you my first prized possession."
"Disgusting."
Wonder Woman felt a chill of revulsion wash over her.
Everything about Blackheart filled her with unprecedented disgust.
"You're the first person to make me feel this level of hatred..."
With an icy response, Wonder Woman flashed forward.
The Godkiller Sword in her hand erupted with a blinding golden glow, divine energy rippling across the vast underground base.
With a mighty swing, she slashed downward.
WHOOSH!
The arc of sword energy curved through the air, infused with divine might, aiming straight for Blackheart.
Blackheart raised his hand, unleashing a Dragon Blast to counter.
BOOM!!
The collision roared like a meteor impact.
The shockwave surged in all directions, shaking the entire underground base.
At the same time—
Blake and his men, having just exited the base, rushed toward the elevator to escape.
Feeling the tremors beneath their feet, as if an earthquake was approaching, they swallowed hard, their faces turning pale.
No one could imagine—if they had chosen to stay behind, would the very next second have been their last, leaving nothing but shattered remains?
"Is this what a battle between superhumans looks like?"
The thought flashed through Blake mind. "And magic… This world is getting more and more chaotic!"
"Sheriff Blake!"
Suddenly, a crisp voice rang in his ears.
Blake instinctively looked up, only to see a figure riding a large motorcycle, with Jade and Uncle seated on the back. The bike came to a stop right in front of him.
"Sheriff, I brought backup!"
Jade jumped off the bike, hands on her hips, exuding confidence. "Where Uncle Jackie?"
"Backup?"
Blake was stunned. "What are you doing here? This place is dangerous, Jade! Take Uncle and get out of here—now!"
SMACK!
Uncle raised his hand and slapped Blake on the forehead, letting out a sharp huff.
"You foolish boy! Do you even know what you're saying?" Uncle scolded, glaring at him.
"You think Uncle is useless? Hmph! Johnny, show him Uncle handiwork."
"Johnny?"
Blake eyes shifted—landing on Johnny Blaze.
Ghost Rider.
Blake froze. He recognized him immediately—one of the greatest motorcycle stunt performers in history.
And now, his despair deepened.
What the hell is happening?!
