Meanwhile, Ge Xiaolun, Zhaoxin, Lena, and the others had no idea what was about to happen. They were making plans.
They were discussing how they'd celebrate with Monkey Brother once they returned to Super God Academy, when they received a communication from Dukao. He spoke gravely.
Just now, an unknown energy signature had been detected in the direction of Flower Fruit Mountain. At the same time, for some unknown reason, a livestream channel had appeared online about half a minute ago. It was currently broadcasting the place where they were.
What's more, even Super God Academy's current technology couldn't shut down the livestream. Dukao suspected it had been set up by some unknown civilization. Given the current level of Earth's technological development, this wasn't something they could pull off.
So until they understood the other side's intentions,
they needed to be extra careful. The enormous, unknown biological energy signature they had just detected on Flower Fruit Mountain was now coming through the images captured by their monitoring satellites. The other party was approaching them at tremendous speed.
Until they knew what they were dealing with,
they should stay alert and be ready to fight at any moment. Dukao could only hope the other party was a friend, not an enemy. Otherwise, they'd be in trouble.
Listening to Dukao, Ge Xiaolun and the others were completely bewildered.
They hurriedly asked, "What? We're being livestreamed? And there's an unknown enemy coming our way?"
"Are you kidding me? We just finished one fight, and now we're about to get into another?" Ge Xiaolun complained. But jokes aside, with another battle possibly on the way,
Ge Xiaolun and the Xiong Bing Lian soldiers still steeled themselves for the potential fight.
Meanwhile, the sky, which had already fallen into night,
suddenly underwent a strange transformation. The winds and clouds churned backward, and heaven and earth seemed to turn upside down. The clouds overhead turned red, as if swept up in a raging storm.
Ge Xiaolun and the others stared in shock at the astonishing sight in the sky.
And it wasn't just Ge Xiaolun and the others. The people across the country watching the livestream went wild.
What on earth was going on? The viewers were filled with questions.
No matter how puzzled they were, nothing could stop the people of this great land from loving a spectacle and enjoying the chaos.
The people watching the livestream, along with Ge Xiaolun and the others at Super God Academy, all looked up at the sky and watched the
changes. The fiery red clouds split in two, and a domineering figure appeared between them, floating high above the ground.
Whether they were watching the livestream or standing there in person, Ge Xiaolun and the others
could feel the immense pressure radiating from that figure.
Lena pointed at the figure, looking completely bewildered. "Isn't that Monkey Brother?"
Ge Xiaolun and the others were just as confused. They looked at the figure in the sky—a monkey wearing golden armor, a phoenix-feathered purple-gold crown, and cloud-treading boots, with a dark golden staff in hand—then at Monkey Brother beside them, and then back at the Monkey Brother in the sky.
Completely baffled, they asked the Monkey Brother beside them, "Monkey Brother, are you making a clone to mess with us again? Please, sir, put your powers away."
Hearing that, Wukong replied helplessly, "Like I have time to fool around with you. That guy up there isn't me. Don't ask me—I'm just as confused."
Supreme Treasure shook out his red cape, then descended gracefully through the air, landing beside Ge Xiaolun and the others. He stared at Wukong beside him and asked, puzzled, "Who are you? Why are you impersonating Old Sun?"
Monkey Brother was just as confused. "Who are you?" Supreme Treasure replied, "I am the Handsome Monkey King of Flower Fruit Mountain, from Water Curtain Cave—the Great Sage Equaling Heaven, Sun Wukong."
Hearing Supreme Treasure's words, Monkey Brother could only reply helplessly, "If you're Sun Wukong, then who am I?" As the two Monkey Brothers talked,
Lena, Ge Xiaolun, and the others gathered around them, looking amazed. "They look a little different, but no matter how you look at it, they both look like Monkey Brother."
Meanwhile, far away at the South Sea Fleet command center of Super God Academy, Dukao watched the scene through the command center's video surveillance. Using the Dark Communication system,
he spoke to Ge Xiaolun and the others at the scene. "The one who was with you earlier was Monkey Brother. As for the one who appeared later, we don't know what he is yet. However, based on
the footage sent back by the monitoring satellites at the time,
he should be the source of the immense power we detected on Flower Fruit Mountain. Unless absolutely necessary, do not engage him. His power level may be on par with Holy Caesar's, or even higher."
Lena said in disbelief, "No way! Since when did Main Gods become so common? How many known Main Gods are there? Aren't they all lofty beings, each ruling over an entire star system? And now you're telling me one just showed up out of nowhere—and he's a damn Main God?"
"I don't believe it either, but that's the truth," Dukao told Lena over Dark Communication. "I wish it were false, too. But his power level really is that of a Main God. So unless it's absolutely necessary, avoid fighting him if you can."
Nearby, Supreme Treasure pointed his Golden Cudgel at Monkey Brother. "I don't care who you are. You're impersonating Old Sun and tarnishing his name. I won't allow it. You're just a counterfeit god—how dare you use Old Sun's name?"
Monkey Brother could only reply helplessly, "Old Sun is Sun Wukong."
"Why would I need to impersonate myself? I know you're stronger than me, but I'm not afraid of you."
"Then let's fight," said Supreme Treasure.
"Bring it on," Monkey Brother replied.
Ge Xiaolun cut in from the side, complaining, "You're really going straight to a fight?"
Supreme Treasure and Monkey Brother ignored Ge Xiaolun completely and shot up into the sky. Monkey Brother wielded his Golden Cudgel and charged straight at Supreme Treasure. As he closed in, he enlarged and lengthened the staff, swinging it down at him.
Meanwhile, Supreme Treasure watched Monkey Brother's attack with disdain. Just as the staff was about to strike him, Supreme Treasure simply reached out with one hand and caught Monkey Brother's Golden Cudgel. Then he struck back, hitting Monkey Brother with a staff of his own.
Monkey Brother was sent flying by the blow.
He plummeted straight toward the ground, leaving a deep fissure when he hit. The crack stretched for several kilometers, and Monkey Brother was knocked out of the fight.
Dukao had his people calculate the force behind Supreme Treasure's strike. It was impossible to estimate. Based solely on their calculations, the Golden Cudgel weighed as much as 136 billion tons.
To be clear, that was billion tons, not seven tons. According to their analysis, Monkey Brother's Golden Cudgel weighed only 13.6 million tons—which converted to Earth units, came to seven tons. The other Monkey Brother's Golden Cudgel, on the other hand, weighed an absurd number of billions of tons. Just imagine the force of its fall—that was impossible to estimate.
