Jiren's words left both Mimi and Marcarita speechless.
That's practically saying that your abilities are just so-so, and I've already given up on you.
Fortunately, both of them had decent tempers, and they had known Jiren for a long time, so they understood his past and his desire for power.
Looking into Jiren's determined eyes, Marcarita paused for a moment and then said,
"Alright, I can take you there. Senga is a very easy person to talk to. If you're sincere, he won't make things difficult for you."
A look of joy finally appeared on Jiren's face. He stood at attention and bowed respectfully to Marcarita.
Thank you so much!
Marcarita didn't say anything more. She turned around, Mule gave Jiren a look. The two of them approached Marcarita.
A streak of colorful light appeared, carrying the three of them towards the sky.
When the three arrived at Senga's house, Marcarita immediately performed a Sichuan opera face-changing act for Weimei and Jiren.
A radiant smile graced her face as she reached out and knocked on the door, speaking sweetly.
"Senga, open the door! I'm home!"
Wei Mei and Jiren Lian were stunned; they had never seen Marcarita react like this before.
The door opened, and it was Bardos who opened it, holding a deck of cards in her hand.
She looked at Marcarita and said with a smile,
"You're back pretty quickly. Why don't you linger a little longer on your turf?"
Marcarita waved her hand and said,
"What's there to wait for? From now on, this is my territory!"
"Oh? So brave? Aren't you afraid Senga hit you?"
"... Can't you give me some face? Didn't you see I brought someone back?"
Bardos then looked at Veggie and Jiren behind Marcarita.
The two were completely dumbfounded, and even began to doubt whether the Marcarita who brought them back was an imposter.
Especially for Veggie, in his memory, Marcarita and Bardos had always been at odds, and every time they met, they would inevitably exchange sarcastic remarks. But today, their relationship seemed unusually harmonious.
Bardos naturally recognized Veggie, but she had never seen Jiren before. She pointed at Jiren and asked,
Who is this?
Marcarita explained,
"He is the Strongest Person in our universe, his name is Jiren."
Then, she whispered a few words in Bardos's ear. Bardos glanced at Jiren in surprise, then nodded and led the three of them into the living room.
As soon as Bardos entered the living room, No. 18, whose face was covered with three white strips, immediately shouted,
"Vados, why do you have to go to open the door yourself? For your gods, a snap of the fingers is enough. I think you're trying to cheat!"
Senga also had a white sticker on his face, and he helped explain.
"We still need to open it up; if ordinary people come, it might scare them."
No. 18 finally gave up, then turned to stare at the cards in her hand with an extremely serious expression.
Marcarita rushed out from behind Bardos, ran to Senga's side, and naturally put her arm around Senga's shoulder, pressing her whole body against Senga's back.
She looked at the cards in Senga's hand with curiosity and asked,
"Senga, what are you doing?"
Senga felt the softness at the back of her neck and said without changing her expression,
"This is called Dou Dizhu a popular Chinese card game). You'll understand after watching for a while."
Bardos sat back in her seat and raised her hand to make a single 6.
No. 18's face lit up with joy. She suddenly pulled out four cards and slammed them onto the table, shouting excitedly.
"Bomb! I only have two left!"
Bardos glanced at No. 18, then calmly tossed out two cards.
"King Bomb."
"Forehead..."
No. 18's expression froze for a moment. She comforted herself, "It's okay, Bardos still has a hand of cards. I still have a chance!"
However, what Bardos did next left her in despair.
"Shunzi, let's go!"
The four words that Bardos uttered seemed to steal the soul from No. 18; her body went limp, and she leaned against Senga.
She stared blankly at the set of straights on the table, muttering to herself.
"Why... why do I always lose?!"
Bardos smiled, leaned over, and gently placed a white slip of paper on No. 18's forehead.
Senga shook her head helplessly and said softly,
"You always like to snatch the landlord role; you should take a look at your own hand before you decide to play!"
The white line on his face was from losing to team up with player No. 18; that was also the only time No. 18 failed to get the item.
No. 18 looked up, her face full of grievance, and said...
"But the landlord gets to draw three more cards, I feel like I'd be at a disadvantage if I didn't become the landlord..."
Marcarita's interest was piqued as well. She rubbed against Senga and said...
"Senga, I want to play too! Teach me!"
Senga flicked her wrist, then looked towards the door and said,
"Behave yourself, playing with four people is a completely different game. I'll teach you later. Have you forgotten the two people you brought back?"
Marcarita then remembered Veggie and Jiren, and she turned to look at the door.
All that could be seen were Mimi and Jiren standing there obediently, like lackeys.
Seeing Senga looking over, Mule quickly waved his hand and said,
"Lord Dragon God, please don't worry about us, you can continue!"
Just seeing Senga's golden eyes made him feel an indescribable pressure, the aura of a high god. He could now begin to sense the terror of Senga, this dragon god.
A layer of cold sweat appeared on Jiren's bald head. Just one look from him almost made him lose his will to fight. What terrifying power was that!?
He couldn't imagine what kind of fighting power Senga would possess if he really started fighting.
Today he finally understood what it meant to be out of this world!
He swallowed hard, stepped forward, and spoke very respectfully.
"Greetings, Lord Dragon God, I am..."
Before he could finish speaking, Senga interrupted him with a laugh,
"I know you. You must be Jiren, the Number One Under the Gods."
Jiren paused for a moment, then said,
"The first one? I haven't been to other universes yet..."
"Hehe, there's no doubt about that. I say you are, and that's it. With your strength, you're already more than qualified to be the next God of Destruction."
Wei Mei nodded in agreement. The only difference between Jiren and God of Destruction is his God of Destruction Power; in terms of raw strength, few God of Destruction can surpass him.
However, Jiren did not show much joy. To him, being merely the Number One Under the Gods was not very meaningful; he wanted to become the strongest.
Marcarita leaned close to Senga's ear and told her about Jiren again. Although Senga already knew this, she still listened patiently to her finish.
After listening, Senga slowly stood up from her chair, Jiren subconsciously took a step back.
Senga smiled faintly and said,
"Don't be nervous. Didn't you want to challenge me? I'll give you that chance now."
