Chapter 71 - Red of All Life

Han Shaoqing recalled the information he had about the Red of All Life from the DC Universe.

In the DC timeline, the Earth goddess Gaia created six elemental avatars to protect the planet: the Green of All Things, the Red of All Life, the Black of Decay, the Fungi of Division, the Spirit of Metal, and the Ashes of Wither.

Among these, the Green of All Things, Red of All Life, and Black of Decay represented plants, animals, and decay, respectively.

In essence, these three forces embodied the eternal struggle between life and death.

This power far surpassed that of the Justice League. In the comics, even Superman, when confronted with the Black of Decay, was reduced to a mindless zombie puppet. The other superheroes stood no chance.

The Green of All Things represented plant life, forming the ultimate ecological network of all vegetation on DC Earth, capable of communicating with every plant on the planet.

Conversely, the Red of All Life stood in opposition to the Green, representing the ultimate collective of all flesh-and-blood animals on DC Earth. Its form was equally mysterious and difficult to comprehend.

While undeniably powerful, it was considered the weakest among the six elemental forces.

At least on the surface, it appeared less formidable than the others.

The Red of All Life's primary ability is to connect with flesh-and-blood animals, acquiring their various powers to enhance one's own.

In the DC Universe, many individuals possess the Red of All Life, the most famous being the superhero Animal Man, Buddy Baker.

Thanks to the Red of All Life, Buddy has developed a moth-like sense of smell, can crawl on walls and spin webs like a spider, fly freely through the air like a bird without wings, swim and breathe underwater like a fish, possess the strength of a Tyrannosaurus Rex, the agility of a snake, the speed of a cheetah, the camouflage of a chameleon, and the regenerative abilities of a worm to rapidly repair injuries.

If needed, he can also emit electric shocks like an electric eel, release skunk-like odors, jump great distances like a flea, and exhibit the resilience of a cockroach.

These abilities are not lost; as long as he comes into contact with an animal, he can acquire its powers.

Furthermore, he can mimic animal forms, such as tiger claws, pangolin scales, or gecko tails.

To say one has obtained the Red of All Life is to be nature's favored child, able to understand the hearts of animals and become their friend. It is also nature's gift to them as their master, tasked with protecting animals from harm.

With Han Shaoqing's current abilities, gaining the powers of ordinary animals would offer little growth to his strength.

But let's not forget: this world is home to Titan Beasts.

Titan Beasts are also flesh-and-blood creatures. If he could harness their power, the potential for enhancement would be unimaginable.

With a thought, Han Shaoqing silently chanted, "Claim."

As the word left his lips, a crimson energy surged from the void, instantly pouring into his body.

After obtaining the Red of All Life, Han Shaoqing gained a new understanding.

The Red of All Life is a branch concept of the Law of Life, specifically the Law of Life that governs all flesh-and-blood beings.

In theory, if one could fully comprehend the Red of All Life, they could become a supreme being ruling over all flesh-and-blood life on Earth—and even throughout the universe.

Unfortunately, the Red of All Life Han Shaoqing obtained was incomplete. Otherwise, he could instantly connect with all flesh-and-blood animals on Earth, drawing upon their power to reach—or even surpass—Celestial Father-level in mere moments.

This reminded Han Shaoqing of Brother Zong. Good brothers should share both fortune and misfortune. When the time came, they could share the Red of All Life, and their strength would undoubtedly increase dramatically.

"Should I kill this guy?"

Snapping back to reality, Han Shaoqing looked at the unconscious Red Tank, considering what to do with him.

Killing him felt like a waste.

Leaving him alone, however, could lead to trouble.

"Never mind. I'll deal with the problem up there first."

He drew his dung fork—

*Pah!* He drew his Trident, quickly rinsed it with water, and flew out of the sea.

As for Red Tank, he could lie there a while longer.

On the island, the X-Men seemed to have gained the upper hand.

Professor Sebastian Shaw, controlled by Telepathy, was paralyzed and at the mercy of Magneto's electromagnetic cannon, his life hanging by a thread.

At the critical moment, the surrendered White Queen suddenly used Telepathy to interfere with Professor X. This momentarily freed Sebastian, allowing him to narrowly block the electromagnetic cannon's blast, but it was the first time he had bled.

"I created you, yet you repeatedly try to kill me!"

Touching the blood on his forehead, Sebastian was completely enraged.

Though he couldn't move while the Professor was controlling him, his consciousness and senses remained intact, and he was fully aware of everything unfolding before him.

He had repeatedly spared Charles, yet the man had constantly tried to kill him and even injured him. It was unforgivable!

Completely forgetting that he himself had first killed Eric's mother, thus fueling Eric's burning hatred.

In his fury, Sebastian stomped on the ground. Nuclear energy surged through the earth, surging rapidly toward the X-Men's location. The ground instantly crumbled, and the crimson energy of destruction sent a chill down the spine.

Even a trace of contact would leave ordinary people reduced to dust!

"You won't get away with this, Avalon!"

Artoria stood alone against the onslaught, driving the scabbard Avalon into the ground. She released its true name, and the scabbard instantly disintegrated into hundreds of tiny components that scattered in the air, forming an impenetrable barrier that shielded its wielder from all interference.

Once Avalon entered its full defensive state, harming its wielder became virtually impossible.

As the ultimate defensive treasure, Avalon, with its "Absolute Protection" that repels all magic and physical attacks, made it impossible for anyone to harm the king who remained undisturbed within its borders.

Though nuclear energy was immense, it couldn't breach the illusory paradise. The vast power was split into dozens of fragments and reflected outward, stirring the heavens and earth into a gray haze.

"It... blocked it?!"

Sebastian was astonished that his attack had been repelled. That was a nuclear-level strike!

At that moment, Artoria's eyes hardened. Gripping Excalibur, she surged toward Sebastian like a raging storm.

"Face judgment!"

As she charged, a dazzling golden light erupted from Artoria. The blade of Excalibur blazed with radiant, sacred brilliance.

"Bastard! No one can judge me!"

Sensing danger and burning with rage, Sebastian gathered energy into his hands, coalescing a terrifying blast.

"Ex—"

Artoria raised her sword in a sweeping upward strike. The condensed power of Excalibur illuminated the sky.

"—Calibur!"

With the true name spoken, Artoria unleashed a dazzling sword strike of unparalleled speed. Before Sebastian could react, the blade slashed diagonally downward from his left shoulder, its overwhelming force and velocity exceeding his capacity to absorb. The blade severed his left arm, sliced through his chest, and finally carved a path from his lower right abdomen.
