The sky was clear and boundless, the Bamboo Forest rustled.
Bamboo house, stream.
Sunlight sprinkled down, bamboo leaves danced, Samuel and Suzy exchanged moves with graceful stances.
The sparring was intense, yet there was no sense of hostility at all; instead, the glances exchanged as they passed each other gave a feeling of mutual understanding and connection.
Although he had already expressed his intention to eliminate the Soul-Devouring Monster and incorporate Tuke Village, Samuel did not immediately take action.
There were several reasons.
One, he hoped that the people of Tuke Village would follow him voluntarily and peacefully.
They had Dragon Force, they had Dragon Scale equipment, yet they could endure the solitude and sacrifice their lives to guard this place.
It shows that their will and faith are very firm; force can only eliminate them, not conquer them.
Second, he wants to spend more time alone with Suzy.
Before meeting Suzy, Samuel had a strong utilitarian mindset, and his motives were not simple.
First, he felt it was unfair about her fate; second, she possessed the Dragon Force and could use the Ten Rings, making her a considerably powerful combatant.
Lastly, she was very beautiful and also the link representing Tuke. Taking her in was equivalent to firmly binding Tuke to his chariot.
Once he deals with the Time Variance Authority, whether making them Timekeepers or dealing with the frequent Multiverse wars in the future, they can play a huge role.
Speaking of which, Samuel aggressively recruiting people in the DC and Marvel Universes might seem redundant. After all, with his strength, it seems he doesn't need any subordinates.
But once the sacred timeline is broken, and the'script' forcibly set by He Who Remains disappears, the development of the Multiverse is likely to change from [Movie Universe] to [Comic Universe].
At that time, various powerful beings will emerge, and events of destroying Worlds and destroying the Multiverse will be endless. Without subordinates, what's the point of playing?
A lone commander has only two outcomes: either busy killing all invaders every day, losing his own life; or staying in a corner, out of sight, out of mind.
But the problem is that even if you don't want to intervene in such level events, they won't let you off.
If you go to war and flatten the entire force, but there is one place where people want to leave each other alone, would you agree?
Impossible!
They will only see you as a thorn in their side!
They will treat you as a stubborn resident and try every means to get rid of you.
Can Samuel tolerate this?
If you don't want to lose your life and don't want to be bullied, the only way is to actively build a force and become the largest, or even the only, force.
This way, even if war breaks out, there will be subordinates to handle it.
For example, in ancient times, if someone invaded the border, no matter how powerful the emperor was, he couldn't possibly go alone to solve it, right?
Is this being an emperor or a nanny?
Getting off topic, let's get back to the present.
Before seeing Suzy, Samuel had a strong utilitarian mindset. After seeing Suzy, especially after interacting with her, he found that Suzy was indeed very charming.
She possesses many virtues of traditional Eastern women, and at the same time, her personality is very likeable.
Perhaps because he was surrounded by Europeans and Americans, he had also gotten used to their personalities, behaviors, and values. Now, suddenly encountering Suzy, who is purely and anciently Eastern in style, Samuel was indeed a little fascinated.
It's not that Samuel didn't have Eastern people around him.
For example, Shado from the Green Arrow Multiverse is an Easterner, but her values are actually very close to those of Europeans and Americans, and she speaks English fluently.
"Hmm?"
During the exchange, they passed each other again, but this time, their eyes didn't meet. Instead, they turned their heads in perfect tacit agreement to look at the Bamboo Forest.
The wind whistled, and a rumbling sound came from the Bamboo Forest.
Seconds later.
A giant figure rushed out of the Bamboo Forest and appeared before them.
This was a man.
More precisely, this was an extremely tall and fat man. His clothing and physique gave people the feeling of a sumo wrestler.
"Where is the entrance to Tuke?"
As soon as he spoke, it was standard Chinese.
"Leave, don't look for trouble. You are not welcome here," Suzy said coldly.
"You might not know who I am," the newcomer said proudly and conceitedly, "I am from Penglai of the Seven Capitals of Heaven, and I am the immortal weapon of Penglai, Cobra."
Cobra?
Come on, with your pig-king-like physique, tell me, in what way are you like a cobra?
Is there such a Fat Cobra?
Perhaps sensing Samuel and Suzy's skeptical gaze, he added, "Everyone calls me Fat Cobra."
Well, that makes sense!
"Cobra or Fat Cobra, it's all the same. You are not welcome here," Suzy's attitude did not change because he introduced himself.
Fat Cobra was also straightforward. He nodded, ready to fight.
"Be careful, the opponent has Qi similar to Dragon Force."
"I will."
Suzy responded and rushed directly towards Fat Cobra.
Directly starting the fight!
"Ding!"
"Detected battle, dropped reward: Qi (Fat Cobra)"
"Ding!"
"Detected battle, dropped reward: 5 points"
Samuel, who had retreated to the side to watch the battle, sensed Fat Cobra's Qi. His Qi and the Qi of Nine-Spider Maiden and Madame Gao were of the same origin and had already merged.
The Seven Capitals of Heaven have several immortal weapons, such as Iron Fist of K'un-Lun and Nine-Spider Maiden of the City of Spiders.
Penglai is the external name; the corresponding name in the Seven Capitals of Heaven is the City of the Turtle, and the immortal weapon here is Cobra.
Iron Fist, Nine-Spider Maiden, Cobra - these are names shared by successive immortal weapons.
To be honest, Samuel was quite surprised that Fat Cobra would appear here. After all, he has the inheritance of Penglai, and Tuke has no relation with Penglai or the Seven Capitals of Heaven.
What is he doing here?
For the power of Tuke? Or... for the Soul-Devouring Monster?
Looking at him, it doesn't seem like he was instigated or incited by the Soul-Devouring Monster.
Despite the surprise, Samuel was not worried. After all, many people have wanted to enter Tuke over the years.
Those who know about Tuke and can reach here must have some skill.
But none have succeeded!
The movie also didn't show anyone entering Tuke before Wen appeared.
In other words, Fat Cobra is destined to fail and is destined not to be Suzy's opponent.
Speaking of which, among the seven immortal weapons of the Seven Capitals of Heaven, only Iron Fist is truly outstandingly strong.
After all, Iron Fist's Dragon Force is an existence that can contend with the Phoenix Force.
If Iron Fist were to fight Suzy, the outcome might still be uncertain!
The others...
Even if they have Qi, it's just so-so. After all, Suzy's Dragon Force is not for nothing!
