After Death, I Became a Superhuman

The people in the Prayer Meeting camp were almost stunned.

At first, when they saw a crack in the sky and Superman appeared, the shocking scene directly impacted everyone's hearts, eliminating any illusions and causing their fighting spirit to plummet.

Following that, the supposed deity they believed in, the supreme and omnipotent one, who brought the seeds of transcendence, responded to their call and descended from the abyss. The situation immediately took a turn for the better, giving people a sense that things were about to improve.

But then, the supreme deity suddenly disappeared.

However, no one actually saw the specific process because it was too fast. They only heard a thunderous explosion, followed by a flash of a figure. When they regained their senses, the deity who had just been standing there was nowhere to be found, and it was unknown whether they had disappeared or gone somewhere else.

Indeed, "faster than a bullet" was not just an empty slogan, but the most accurate description for this extraordinary being.

The people in the entire camp stared wide-eyed, looking at the scene before them in a dazed and incomprehensible manner, feeling an immense sense of unreality. A few people still held onto the hope that the deity was just temporarily showing weakness and hiding to prepare a deadly move, but most people believed in their own intuition.

Their deity was gone.

Indeed, life was full of ups and downs, and this fall directly pierced through the basement.

Some people looked at the Water Mirror Flag Bearer with a dazed expression. After all, the Flag Bearer had become their backbone, their last belief and spiritual support.

Wow, why did the Flag Bearer kneel down so quickly? That was fast!

It could only be said that besides having extraordinary strength, it was also crucial to be able to read the situation when one could rise to a cadre position. The Flag Bearer saw that something was wrong and made a decisive move, kneeling down before the other lackeys could react.

Fuck, the Prayer Meeting prayed to the boss on the other side of the abyss. Now that the boss has been punched into oblivion, what's the point of praying? Should they kneel and wait to join the sun side by side?

Some even hated themselves for being blind. If they had known that Superman could be so powerful, compared to the chicken-like abyss deity, they wouldn't have believed in that fucker.

Why not just believe in Superman?

In an instant, they even came up with a new slogan.

Eliminate the tyranny of the abyss, the world belongs to Superman!

Unfortunately, it was a bit too late now.

In short, they regretted it, regretted it very much.

Seeing that their leader had taken the lead, the remaining people naturally had nothing to say and quickly knelt down one by one, afraid of displeasing the boss.

After all, faith and such had been shattered along with that punch, and it was not a big deal to throw away their principles. The fanatical believers suddenly woke up as if their thoughts had been awakened by that punch, realizing how ridiculous their past fervent beliefs were.

Indeed, nothing was more important in life than being alive. Believing in some otherworldly evil god was simply foolish.

Honestly, Jiang Bei was a bit surprised.

He just accelerated and gave a punch, nothing special. Maybe because he was a little nervous facing an unknown enemy from the abyss for the first time, he put a little more strength into the punch than usual.

But even so, it was just a normal run-up and a normal punch.

Seeing the enemy evaporate with a single punch, he couldn't help but feel a bit empty inside.

Is that it?

It sounded so awesome, with such a high and mighty appearance, but was this the result?

He couldn't even feel any difference from instantly killing a Shadow Demon.

"I told you he was a weakling. Just a refugee from the depths of the abyss, thinking he's so great in the present world," Xiao Qi said as if teasing a panda.

"Come on, spin around~"

Xiao Dou Ding barked and quickly spun around in place, spinning three times for her!

Xiao Qi giggled, "So obedient! Here's an Oreo for you as a reward!"

Xiao Dou Ding took the biscuit and tears uncontrollably flowed from the corners of her mouth.

It's all because of the circumstances. Who asked her to be bigger?

She pointed at her fist.

"Oh, by the way, the one you just killed wasn't the real body," Xiao Qi said.

"Hmm?"

"That was a derivative released by the enemy from the abyss, like a projection. It's because of the Barrier Stone. The Barrier Stone creates an intermediate space between the present world and the abyss, and although the enemy can't come to the present world through the barrier, they can use the stone to project their image into the intermediate space."

"I see."

Jiang Bei felt a bit regretful.

"So, does that mean the real body escaped?"

"If you don't want it to escape, why not follow the trajectory of the projection and chase it into the abyss?" Xiao Qi casually said.

"Hmm?" Jiang Bei raised an eyebrow. "Can I do that?"

In the depths of the abyss.

After the projection was destroyed, silence fell upon the two figures in the alternate space.

Chaos filled the entire space, as if layers of dark clouds were rippling and churning. The faint aurora, like sharp blades, attempted to cut through the darkness, but it quickly disappeared and was concealed by the darkness and chaos once again.

"Well, maybe the quality of the Barrier Stone is the problem," Atalon finally spoke after a long while.

"The projection in the present world can only display a part of the adult's strength. If there are quality issues with the Barrier Stone, more power will be lost during the process.

So, the projection might indeed be difficult to fully utilize."

"Hmm, I see."Novar sat on his throne, responding with a dull grunt, but he didn't say anything else clearly.

Was it really so?

The power loss in the projection was inevitable, something that could be anticipated from the start. The avatar that was just obliterated was only a very limited part of his power.

But the oppressive feeling that came back through the projection, that strength was real and tangible.

However, it was fleeting, like an illusion. The projection was annihilated in the blink of an eye, and that terrifying feedback also ended.

Novar began to doubt, was it just an illusion?

And if it wasn't the projection that went down, but his real self, could he withstand that terrifying punch?

He seemed to have a vague answer in his heart, but he was always unsure. It was as if his subconscious was afraid to face that answer.

"Consider that guy lucky."

Atrun grumbled on the side.

"So, the barrier of the Present World isn't so easy to break through, only with the help of the barrier stone can the projection be released in a limited area. The Starflow Stone is unstable, otherwise, how could this human be so arrogant till now?"

The Starflow Stone was their main means of connecting the Present World and the Abyss, and it was also the method they taught the Prayer Meeting. But what they didn't say was that this thing was actually unreliable.

The disasters like earthquakes and tsunamis caused by the shock released each time it was activated were secondary - they didn't care much about that. The main problem was that teleportation with this thing was prone to accidents.

For example, sometimes its signal was unstable, and the teleportation channel might freeze for a moment. If you hadn't entered yet, it was fine, you could wait for the signal to stabilize and then go. But if you had just stepped in and were halfway through, and the signal suddenly disappeared, most likely, you would disappear too.

Sometimes it could also mess up the direction of the connection. Sometimes it could teleport you to the designated direction, but sometimes it might navigate wrongly and send you to some dangerous places you shouldn't or couldn't go to, which might be even more tragic than the signal problem.

So, generally, the things teleported with the Starflow Stone were either items or things like Shadow Demons and Cunning Beasts, after all, their lives didn't count, they weren't valuable.

Or some ignorant or fearless lunatics, obsessed with exploring the unknown world, might try their luck with the Starflow Stone.

Obviously, Novar was not among these two groups.

"That cloaked ant only dares to show off in his own Present World. If there were no barriers, how could he be a match for the great Lord Novar?" Atrun continued to flatter.

"Yeah, right."

Novar responded vaguely.

Anyway, boasting was free, and no one could hear it. He couldn't lose face, but now he was actually starting to consider, maybe he should stop targeting the Present World.

It wasn't that he was scared, mainly he lost interest, he found it meaningless.

Atrun continued: "If he dares to come to the Abyss, I'll tear him to pieces in a minute."

"Damn!" Novar suddenly shouted.

Atrun was stunned, then his face turned pale: "Ah? Are you talking about me?"

The next second, instinctively following Novar's gaze, his pupils contracted, and he also uncontrollably shouted: "Damn!"

A crack appeared in the darkness.

At first, it was a narrow gap, then two hands reached in from the outside, slowly widening it, so much so that it changed shape.

Then there was light.

A handsome face appeared on the other side of the light, poking out.

"Excuse me, is Mr. Novar here?"
