Superman Termination Manual - Chapter 243

Chapter 243: Chapter 165: A Deal with the Ninja Sect Master_2

There were several occasions when the structure of the timeline was nearly collapsing, and the world was about to be destroyed, but each time it was the Time Management Bureau who saved the day, anonymously bringing the situation back from the brink and allowing the world to continue as normal.

As for the Timekeeper, his ability was merely to stop time temporarily, not to traverse it, nor to directly affect the continuation of the timeline in any way.

Therefore, it naturally fell outside the jurisdiction of the Time Management Bureau.

The Time Management Bureau even went out of their way to belittle the Timekeeper’s abilities in official documents, implying that such matters didn’t warrant their intervention, when it was clearly the Superhero Association’s incompetence at fault. Blaming them instead was downright disgusting.

With such a public statement full of veiled, stinging satire, the public reaction intensified, once again shifting the blame back to the Superhero Association.

At that time, the media competition between the Superhero Association and the Time Management Bureau was incredibly fierce, nearly every other period they would issue an insinuating statement to imply the other was doing worse, guiding their fans to attack the other, and as much as possible steering the public’s attention to make them vent their anger on the other party.

As a result, people gradually paid less attention to the death of Gray Pigeon and instead focused more on the debate over which party should be taking responsibility.

Ironically laughable, it even made one question if Gray Pigeon’s existence and death held meaning only for gaining attention and generating traffic.

But back to the main topic.

When the Timekeeper caused trouble in the Superhero Tower years ago, the Superhero Association could still focus on the “time-related abilities” to shift the blame onto the Time Management Bureau.

But now they were left speechless, given that the Dice Monster possessed no time-related abilities, and was even a straw bag of a straw bag, incapable of being any more of a straw bag.

Yet this thing managed to abduct a commander in broad daylight.

And not just any commander, but the most famous and beloved one in the whole Huanjing and the entire country: Che Zhengchen.

The higher-ups of the Association were dumbfounded when they received the news.

In their minds, their headquarters was a place habitually guarded by hundreds of superheroes, and even the fearsome Crow Man would stay inside the building when bored. Wasn’t the Round Table Council’s Qing Ya familiar to you?

So, no sane person would imagine that a criminal would dare to approach, let alone attack the Superhero Tower–it was akin to walking into a trap.

So, with this overconfidence, as time went by, the defensive measures against enemies at the Superhero Tower were naturally not so tightly knit, giving the Dice Monster an opportunity to exploit.

Even though the Association’s PR department did their best to play down the incident on various social media platforms, it still sparked intense global discussion.

At this moment, the Dice Monster, having just stirred up a global frenzy and topped the trend lists of both domestic and international websites, was not idling away or hiding from the spotlight. It had no intention of shrouding itself in mystery.

After making a terrorist declaration via loudspeaker at Huanjing Tower, it smirked, raised its right hand, and tossed down a red and black dice.

Without even watching the result of the dice roll, it had already swung away towards Wine Reflecting Coast on a web line, blending into the night with its belt’s invisibility function.

As the red and black dice landed, tracing a beautiful parabola in mid-air, a massive whale fell from the sky and smashed onto the deserted street below.

Immediately after that, like a huge fountain suddenly appearing in the center of the street, the whale spouted thousands of furious torrents of water from its blowholes, shooting upwards, bursting like fireworks at the apex, and turning into billions of water droplets that scattered down like rain amidst the screams of the crowd, drenching the ground.

It was as if a downpour had suddenly started in the Hongdeng Commercial District.

Many running passersby were knocked down by the water, completely drenched.

Fortunately, the chaos did not last long, as the Air Balloon Squad from the Superhero Tower and the famous A-level superhero–General Lingdong quickly arrived on the scene, resolving the situation with the enraged whale in a swift and forceful manner.

At this time, in the dark night sky over the city, a figure stood on a dark cloud, overlooking the situation in the commercial district, then zoomed towards the direction of Highway Seven.

However, there was no one waiting for her there, a bit of a letdown really.

Shortly after, the Dice Monster arrived at Wine Reflecting Coast, disabled its belt’s invisibility feature, and walked over to a corner of the coast to stand next to a fisherman.

Looking up, the fisherman was sitting on the railing, holding a Daiwa fishing rod, and completely focused on fishing.

“Hey, I’m the strange thing,” the Dice Monster said, introducing itself with one hand on its hip.

The fisherman ignored him.

The Dice Monster sighed with its palm to its forehead, “Oh, my guy. You’d rather fish than chat with the charming and adorable villain Dice Monster, huh?”

Still, the fisherman ignored him.

The Dice Monster cocked its head, waving a hand in front of the other, “You know it’s illegal to fish like that. Didn’t you see the sign on the fence that says no climbing? Yet, here you are, sitting on it, fishing.”
