GA: Chapter 73: Eight Immortals Cross the Sea—Lu Dongbin, You're Still a Monster?
Richest Man in the Lighthouse: "Sounds like you're some highborn non-human from another world… but you really picked the wrong place to stir trouble."
Richest Man in the Lighthouse: "Do you even know how many powerful humans are in this chat group?"
Richest Man in the Lighthouse: "You're done, little punk."
Most members here are humans—and not just any humans.
There's Whitebeard, the world's strongest man, wielding seismic power enough to destroy the world.
Though dead, he can summon meteors upon resurrection.
Uchiha Madara, Six Paths-level terrifying.
Minato Namikaze, the fastest shinobi with the legendary Uzumaki constitution—chakra issues? Never.
Kurumi Tokisaki, master of time, essentially unbeatable.
Bai Xuan, who wields nature's authority, capable of controlling all elements—a walking broken-system cheat.
And there's Tony Stark, Iron Man himself, embodying both wisdom and courage, a mortal rivaling the gods.
What kind of opponent could ever match them?
Benevolent Father, Filial Child, Old Man: "Interesting… are you threatening me?"
Benevolent Father, Filial Child, Old Man: laughs "If it weren't for Lu Dongbin sealing me back then, how could mere humans hope to resist my conquest?"
Ordinary Group Leader: "Lu Dongbin?"
Ordinary Group Leader: "Seal?"
Ordinary Group Leader: "Wait… are you talking about 'Eight Immortals Cross the Sea'?"
Ordinary Group Leader: "You're still a monster after all!"
Benevolent Father, Filial Child, Old Man: "Monster? I'm the Fire Demon! The whole of Asia is my territory!"
Ordinary Group Leader: "Oh~~"
Ordinary Group Leader: "Who was I kidding… so you're a Holy Lord."
Ordinary Group Leader: "Alright, now your previous words make sense."
Ordinary Group Leader: "You're a pitiable soul too, though."
Seeing the Fire Demon, Su Yunqing realized the truth.
She'd been wondering who this arrogant guy was… turns out, he's a Holy Lord.
Child of Nature: "Judging by his tone, he hasn't encountered Jackie Chan—or at least he just found out. Otherwise, he wouldn't be speaking so cocky."
Himouto Umaru: "Why does the mood instantly change after the group leader and Bai Xuan learn the new member's identity?"
Turning Da Gu into Soup: "Could this Holy Lord be… a good guy?"
Child of Nature: "Good guy?"
Child of Nature: "No. Like he said, he's a demon—the Fire Demon Holy Lord ruling over Asian countries. Brutal, merciless. By human standards, he's far from good; even by demon standards, he's no angel."
He's cunning, ruthless, and devious through and through.
Ordinary Group Leader: "The attitude shift? That's just pity talking."
Ordinary Group Leader: "Powerful as he is, he's been sealed eight times due to bad luck."
Ordinary Group Leader: "He's probably still sealed. If he wants out, he's got to wait."
Benevolent Father, Filial Child, Old Man: "??? Eight times? I've only been sealed twice!"
Uchiha Dance King: "Idiot… they're talking about your future."
Richest Man in the Lighthouse: "This old guy is strong?"
Ordinary Group Leader: "Very strong!"
Child of Nature: "Extremely strong!"
Ordinary Group Leader: "Thanos with six Infinity Stones, I don't know. But Thanos without the Stones? Holy Lord would toy with him."
Ordinary Group Leader: "The Twelve Talismans are ridiculously powerful."
Even just looking at the Rat Talisman, you know the Twelve Talismans are monstrous. It can turn stillness into motion and grant the abilities of divine statues or fictional characters from other dimensions.
In the story, their true power is barely showcased.
Take the Ox Talisman: it grants immense strength, rapidly enhances the user's muscles, but it doesn't create power from nothing—it amplifies the user's existing strength.
If the user is already extremely strong, the Ox Talisman multiplies that power to terrifying levels.
Ordinary Group Leader: "With a Holy Lord wielding the Twelve Talismans, he's undeniably terrifying. But with Dad, Jackie Chan, and Xiao Yu around? Doesn't matter how strong he is."
Ordinary Group Leader: "Still, to be safe, I won't send the memory copy of the Jackie Chan adventure world. Don't want him changing the plot."
Benevolent Father, Filial Child, Old Man: "Can I take back what I said earlier?"
Su Yunqing and Bai Xuan already convinced him. If the Holy Lord still doubted the chat group's reality, he'd truly be an idiot.
Eight times sealed in the future? Damn it, why did he even say that!
Turning Da Gu into Soup: "Your thoughts?"
Worst Spirit: "It's over."
Himouto Umaru: "Too bad… no new anime to watch."
Himouto Umaru: "Can the memory copy be sent privately?"
Ordinary Group Leader: "Sure, as long as the Holy Lord doesn't see it."
Ordinary Group Leader: "Sigh… once world-hopping is available, I'll just go to his world and steal all Twelve Talismans. He wouldn't even be able to use them."
Child of Nature: "Count me in!"
Most of the Holy Lord's talismans wouldn't benefit him, but a few were worth having:
The Rat Talisman, which turns stillness into motion.
The Horse Talisman, which heals all physical and magical bodily ailments.
The Horse Talisman was redundant—he could already do that with his Nature Authority—but the Rat Talisman was terrifying.
It could grant the user the powers of story-defined characters.
For example, if he made a statue in Madara's image and applied the Rat Talisman, it would become a living Madara capable of using Sharingan and ninjutsu.
How far it could go depended on the Rat Talisman's limits—whether it could reach the terrifying power of story Madara.
Of course, what he really wanted was a Doraemon statue. Using the Rat Talisman, he could bring Doraemon to life.
Tools and gadgets were secondary—he just wanted a Doraemon.
Benevolent Father, Filial Child, Old Man: "You actually covet my power!"
Ordinary Group Leader: "So what? It'd just sit there collecting dust anyway."
Ordinary Group Leader: "Either sealed or on the way to being sealed—what's the point?"
Ordinary Group Leader: "At most, I'd leave you the Rat Talisman."
Child of Nature: "No. The moment the Holy Lord awakens, his ambition will flare. Without the Twelve Talismans, he still has demonic energy and the ages of history."
Child of Nature: "Better to keep him as a statue."
Child of Nature: "So… the Rat Talisman is mine."
