Supergirl Has Arrived-What Now?
What are you most afraid of?
Russell couldn't help but ask himself, if he really had anything to fear, there were too many things he was afraid of, such as the fear of death.
Everyone is afraid of Deadman, but all seven of them are alive and well, so being afraid of death doesn't necessarily lead to death. Ruins can only materialize the people and things that people fear.
There's not much to say about the object itself; there aren't many examples like Jian Shaoxin who are afraid of yogurt. The key issue is the person...
If gods and monsters are considered human, then Russell would be afraid of countless people, because any one of them could take his life. It's impossible for him not to be afraid.
Supergirl?
It shouldn't be considered that way. At most, he was generally afraid. After all, he had the upper hand for the first few thousand rounds, but he gradually lost his strength and was suppressed until he couldn't raise his head.
Ancient One, the Sorcerer Supreme?
This was indeed a bit frightening. The old man was unfathomable and seemed to know everything, making Russell instinctively fear him.
However, Russell didn't think the Ancient One would materialize; she was too powerful. To Russell, the Ancient One and the Candle Dragon were no different—both were unbeatable.
The characters manifested from the ruins definitely have a power ceiling. If they exceed the value, their power will either decrease or they will be automatically skipped.
Otherwise, we can't play!
After much thought, Russell suddenly realized that he was carefree and had nothing to fear, at least not now.
Everything is relative, not absolute, and changes with time, environment, and other factors. Fear is an emotion, and it is even more elusive. Take Jian Shaoxin as an example again. Before she met Russell, she enjoyed drinking yogurt every day. Who would have thought that one day she would feel weak in the knees at the sight of yogurt?
Rumble!!!
The water ahead roared, and the sound was intermittent and didn't seem to be naturally formed. Upon seeing this, Ying Yingying immediately put away the Flying Carpet, and the group moved closer quietly.
Amidst the spray of water, two groups were locked in battle. A seven-on-one fight should have ended in a crushing defeat, but in reality, the seven were cooperating to barely maintain a stalemate. Not only that, but four more figures remained on the slope, their fates unclear from a distance.

Russell ignored the system notification and stared wide-eyed at the stunning figure taking on seven opponents. Supergirl had indeed appeared.
In the arena, Supergirl wreaked havoc, her high-speed flight leaving behind a trail of afterimages, so fast that it was impossible for the naked eye to follow.
"Myriad Swords Return to Origin!"
A middle-aged Reincarnator hovered in mid-air, his incomparably sharp sword energy emanating from his body. The energy spread in all directions, transforming into countless sharp swords that swept across the entire scene like a torrential rain.
The clanging of metal against metal caused Supergirl to pause, slowing her high-speed movement.
Seeing this, the middle-aged Reincarnator waved his hands repeatedly, directing a barrage of sword energy to fall sharply, the sword force like a net, pressing down on Supergirl all at once.
The sword energy was like a rainbow, as fast as lightning!
Supergirl neither dodged nor avoided, relying on the powerful defense of her Steel Body, she charged head-on into the sword net, letting the sword light sweep across her body, sparks flashing and sword energy shattering wherever she passed.
She was enveloped in sword energy, and her speed slowed down. Taking advantage of this, the Reincarnator launched a series of attacks.
Three magicians chanted incantations, casting a binding barrier. Light surrounded her from six directions, transforming into a white coffin that imprisoned Supergirl. Then, six elemental greatswords slowly formed—light, ice, fire, wind, lightning, and darkness—each a different color, and thrust downwards, piercing the coffin at its base as if by magic.
In a moment of stillness, the coffin gradually turned red, as if it had drunk its fill of fresh blood, becoming a vibrant crimson.
The Reincarnator all breathed a sigh of relief. Just then, a muffled thud came from the coffin. The coffin walls shattered, and a slender arm reached out, grasping and crushing the greatsword.
Boom!!
With a loud crash, the coffin shattered from the inside, and Supergirl burst out, the bloodstains on her cheeks instantly healing, charging straight towards the three magicians.
Two imposing magic shields, one blue and one red, lit up. Supergirl let out a low roar and smashed one of them with a powerful punch. Immediately afterward, she cleaved her palms into the other shield, then plunged both hands in, tearing the elemental shield in two.
"Myriad Swords Return to Origin!!"
Seeing that the mage in the team was in mortal danger, the middle-aged Reincarnator unleashed his ultimate move once again, wielding his sword energy to block Supergirl's advance.
Rumble—
The water surged, and a Reincarnator stood on the water's surface, wielding a trident to stir up the torrent. Four waterspouts surrounded Supergirl.
"Am I seeing things? That person is... the captain?" Jian Shaoxin stared in disbelief, her cherry-like mouth agape in an "O" shape.
"Wow, she's amazing! She's our captain?" Newcomer Fei Jiehe's eyes lit up as she was captivated by the Supergirl's heroic demeanor.
"Don't be silly, how could she be the captain? She just looks exactly like the captain." Duan Xinlan and the others all had solemn expressions. They all knew that Shen Menghan was not here, so the person in front of them must be a fake.
However, due to their strong will, it's almost impossible to distinguish between truth and falsehood!
Russell's eyes gleamed as he looked at the battlefield. He didn't participate in the discussion; when it came to understanding Supergirl, he was the most qualified to speak, as they all knew each other's strengths and weaknesses. But at this moment, his attention wasn't on Supergirl. The Reincarnator wielding the trident was too conspicuous; that trident was undoubtedly a trophy obtained from the Atlantis civilization.
"This thing is destined for me..." Russell vaguely remembered that his broken trident could be upgraded.
"Jason, what are you muttering about?"
Ying Yingying patted Russell on the shoulder and frowned, saying, "You asked me what I was most afraid of before. After seeing the captain, I think I understand what you mean. This ruin can manifest the deepest fears in people's hearts, right?"
Russell nodded. "Based on the current clues, that is indeed the case."
When did you find out?
"When Chu Renmei appeared, I didn't pay much attention, but I just saw a box of yogurt by the river..." Russell said, glancing at Jian Shaoxin, who immediately crossed her arms and hid behind Duan Xinlan.
"Yogurt... it's so good!" Ying Yingying glanced at Russell speechlessly, wanting to say thank you, but then thought, what's there to thank?
"Actually, I also bear some responsibility for the appearance of your Captain Supergirl..." Russell's words left everyone confused. He continued, "If I had put in more effort back then, it might have turned into Band-Aid."
Ying Yingying: "..."
"Jason, what does the Band-Aid have to do with the captain?"
"It's nothing, he was just saying." Ying Yingying cut Russell off before he could speak, forcefully steer the conversation back on track. "Enough with the nonsense, the captain has materialized, what do you think we should do?"
What else can we do but kill her?
The crowd looked puzzled. They knew the correct answer, but couldn't bring themselves to say it, and hesitated for a moment.
"If we're going to make a move, we should do it quickly. Supergirl has materialized, which clearly means she's coming for us. Right now, we have those few cannon fodder to take the fall. Once they're all killed, it'll be our turn. We might as well join forces now; at least our chances of winning are higher," Russell said decisively.
"It's easy for you to say. You have no connection with our captain, so it doesn't matter to you, but we..." The girls were still hesitant.
You think you're worthy to talk to me about anything? If I wanted to, I could go back and have a serious relationship with Supergirl!
Russell thought to himself, he was a low-key person and didn't want to show off at this moment, so he didn't say it out loud.
"Alright, I know you're all afraid of Supergirl's revenge, but as long as you all keep your mouths shut and no one tells anyone, she naturally won't know..."
