Chapter 69 - 69: Shadowkhan's Ninjas & Jackie Chan Adventures

[Killed anomalous target Kaiju Axe Head. Gained 500 Anomaly Points. Current Anomaly Points: 1500 / 3700]

Luke Rowling subconsciously applied more pressure with his foot, crushing the remains of the tripod mecha.

A creation of the powerful Martians didn't even yield Anomaly Points?

How was he supposed to feel motivated to deal with those Martians, then?

At this moment, Godzilla looked at Luke Rowling, utterly bewildered.

Did he actually have kin?

That couldn't be right!

"Big Fatty."

Luke spoke, nearly making Godzilla fail to react in time.

Godzilla let out a low growl. "Friend?"

Luke nodded.

Godzilla recalled how small his friend had been back then. How had he grown so massive after just two days?

Even if Titan Beasts generally grew quickly, this was far too fast!

Godzilla scratched his head in confusion, unable to understand.

"What good things did you eat? I want to grow bigger too."

Godzilla struggled to speak. He was dissatisfied with his current physique and wanted to grow bigger, fatter, and stronger.

Godzilla then noticed Axe Head beneath Luke Rowling's foot. That robust body made him feel quite envious.

"Is it this thing under your foot? It looks very tasty."

Luke had a sudden flash of inspiration. "You can try eating him."

Godzilla generally did not eat meat. Meat contained very little energy, and the conversion efficiency was low.

By comparison, he preferred nuclear material.

But if this meat could make him taller and stronger, that was a completely different matter.

His mouth might be small, but it wasn't just for show.

Godzilla thought for a moment, grabbed Axe Head, and walked toward the ocean.

He was preparing to break his long-standing abstinence from meat with this Kaiju, while also dealing with the pollution caused by Axe Head's blood on Earth.

Godzilla's digestive system was incredibly powerful; the toxic blood of a Kaiju alone couldn't harm him in the slightest.

The Atomic Furnace was not just a name.

After Godzilla left, Luke also decided not to deal with the remaining tripod mecha.

He hadn't forgotten that there was still a pile of trouble waiting to be handled on the Antarctic Continent.

In any case, even if he didn't intervene, with the bacterial and viral weapons already deployed, the Martians were destined to be wiped out sooner or later.

While traveling, Luke didn't forget to open the Reality Editor's item inventory to check what had been updated.

After flipping through several pages, his gaze stopped on twelve special chess pieces.

"Twelve talismans?"

"These are really good things!"

Luke Rowling excitedly took out the twelve talismans.

These items originated from Jackie Chan Adventures. Named after the twelve zodiac animals, each one possessed incredible power.

The Rat Talisman grants motion to the static.

The Ox Talisman represents strength.

The Tiger Talisman embodies the balance of Yin and Yang.

The Rabbit Talisman grants super speed.

The Dragon Talisman grants explosive power.

The Snake Talisman grants invisibility.

The Horse Talisman grants healing abilities.

The Sheep Talisman grants astral projection.

The Monkey Talisman grants transformation.

The Rooster Talisman grants levitation.

The Dog Talisman grants immortality.

The Pig Talisman grants Cyclops.

Among them, the Rat Talisman and the Horse Talisman were especially valuable to Luke.

The Horse Talisman could remove all negative effects within the body caused by external forces.

When paired with the immortal Dog Talisman, it meant being indestructible, eternal, and immune to all magic.

Its life-saving potential was outstanding.

The Rat Talisman's ability to grant motion to the static was far stronger than the animation magic of the Merlin system.

This was because the Rat Talisman could not only animate statues and grant them independent will, but also bestow special abilities based on the statue itself.

For example, reviving someone like Sun Wukong.

Of course, the drawback was that the Rat Talisman's power level was too low. It could only grant the revived target a fraction of their true strength, unable to fully manifest their original power.

However, when used as support, that was a different story.

Moreover, Luke Rowling possessed the Reality Editor, so upgrading the Rat Talisman later would be effortless.

"I heard that the Ox Talisman's strength enhancement is based on the user's physical foundation."

"I wonder how much of a boost I'll get with my current strength?"

Luke grasped the Ox Talisman, and in an instant, boundless power surged through his entire body.

It was an overwhelming force, even more terrifying than when he entered his Godzilla state.

If the previous Luke Rowling could exert tens of thousands of tons of force, now it was at least several million tons.

Possibly even tens of millions.

Luke immediately checked the attributes panel.

Strength: 5000 × 1000!

"Damn— the Ox Talisman can actually amplify strength by a thousand times!"

Luke sucked in a sharp breath.

Although he had once experienced the even greater power brought by the can of spinach, that effect had lasted only three short minutes.

The boost from the Ox Talisman, however, was permanent.

What's more, the twelve talismans did not occupy any inventory slots.

They only needed to be integrated into the body to permanently grant twelve different abilities.

Although Luke could already utilize the power of the twelve talismans,

the current problem was that he still couldn't perfectly integrate them.

For the time being, he could only keep them on his person.

"I wonder if I can use the Reality Editor to set myself as the Master of the twelve talismans?"

Items produced by the Reality Editor all came with a backstory, detailing their origin and designated Master.

For example, the backstory of the twelve talismans traced back to Shendu in Jackie Chan Adventures.

With that in mind, Luke attempted to re-edit the item.

Through this modification, he discovered a new possibility.

"So items created by the cheat can have their backstories modified at will, but their abilities can't be further enhanced through that change."

"Hm, the version still isn't high enough."

After Luke finished modifying the notes for the twelve talismans, he immediately felt a special connection forming between himself and them.

It was as if the twelve talismans had originally been separated from his own body.

Luke's heart stirred.

The twelve talismans transformed into twelve streams of multicolored light and surged into his body.

Luke instinctively sensed that he now possessed twelve additional abilities.

These abilities felt innate, allowing him to use them freely.

Moreover, they required very little energy consumption, because the talismans themselves were a form of magic.

Luke glanced at his energy attributes and discovered that after integrating the twelve talismans, his energy had increased by another 200.

He could now negate fatal external attacks and remove most negative effects, such as petrification.

He could also restore external objects, similar to the Restoring Charm in the Harry Potter worldview.

Furthermore, the Dog Talisman not only granted Luke eternal life, but also ensured that his body, mind, and soul would always remain in their youngest, peak state.

This meant that no matter how many years he lived, his mind and soul would remain eternally youthful, preventing him from suffering madness, curses, or erosion caused by immortality.

Of course, as the Master of the talismans, Luke was also aware of the flaws of the Dog Talisman and the Horse Talisman.

Although the talismans could be regarded as conceptual abilities, the talismans themselves still had upper limits.

If he were to face a supreme artifact like the Infinity Stones, even the Dog Talisman and Horse Talisman could not exempt him from guaranteed death.

At best, both the talismans and Luke himself would be erased together by the Infinity Stones.

"That's fine. Once the Reality Editor's version is higher, I'll raise the upper limits of the twelve talismans."

Luke glanced at the Reality Editor. In the item inventory, he also discovered another treasure—the Dust Spirit Mask.

Recalling the performance of the Ninja Army—the ultimate tools summoned by Jade in the original work...

No need to think further. Take it.

As usual, he changed the note on the Dust Spirit Mask to himself.

After Luke put it on, he was actually able to integrate it directly into his body.

Moreover, he didn't need to worry about being eroded by the dark energy within the mask.

Aside from being the mask's Master, he also had the Tiger Talisman maintaining Yin–Yang balance, along with the Dog Talisman and Horse Talisman safeguarding his mental and physical condition.

Unless its power level surpassed that of the twelve talismans themselves, Luke had no need to worry about Yin–Yang imbalance or corruption.

"With the Dust Spirit Mask, this trip to the Antarctic Continent should be much easier."

Midway through his journey, Luke summoned the Ninja Army of the Shadowkhan.

The Ninja Army manifested as humanoid ninjas clad in black ninja suits, revealing only a pair of glowing red eyes.

Born from shadow, they could both harm three-dimensional life-forms and instantly merge into shadows to evade damage and move at high speed.

They were proficient in all the abilities that real-world ninjas possessed, including but not limited to shuriken, throwing knives, darts, smoke bombs, grappling hooks, and gliding equipment.

In addition to that, they also knew many things that ninjas normally wouldn't.

For example, cooking, cleaning, and babysitting.

Each and every one of them was an all-purpose domestic servant.

Not only could they fight, they could also work, and they could even handle tasks for him, easily taking care of technical jobs as well.
