Hell's Handbook

Chapter 428

After returning to the real world, Su Jin rested for two days, then started improving on the signaling machine with Geppetto. Geppetto also commented that the work became much easier with this rock from a star shard.

In order to make sure that Geppetto could work without interruptions, Su Jin created an island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. He got all the necessary equipment from the Handbook itself so that they would definitely be the standard that Geppetto wanted.

Geppetto and Alice ended up making the island their home. Su Jin initially thought of keeping them by his side, but when he thought about what he was about to face next, he became worried and felt that it was safer to keep them further away from him.

After Su Jin returned to S City, he suddenly stopped in his footsteps just before he entered his house. He furrowed his brows as he stared intensely at his own house. There was something amiss about it.

“Show yourselves! I’m not letting you in here without a fight!” shouted Su Jin.

Several figures leaped out from inside the house. A total of eight people surrounded Su Jin. They looked like perfectly normal humans.

Some looked like office workers, some like homemakers, some like the elderly in the parks. But the look in their eyes didn’t match their ordinary faces. Their murderous, fired-up stares proved that they were definitely no ordinary people.

“You guys… are non-human owners!” Su Jin’s eyes widened. He just knew there was something odd about their aura. These people weren’t human at all. If that was the case, they could only be non-human owners.

Out of the eight, a man who looked like an office worker took a step forward and said, “Su Jin… I would advise you against putting up a fight. We’re all quasi god-level fighters, and there are eight of us, so there’s no way you can defeat us!”

“That’s right. You’d better not try to fight back, or I can guarantee that your entire world will end up going down the grave with you!” said the man with a sneer.

“You guys think you’re good enough?” Su Jin was filled with disdain. Eight quasi god-level owners thought they would be good enough to make him surrender without a fight and even threatened to destroy Earth? They had clearly underestimated him.

The leader snorted, “Of course. Since Hell’s Handbook has sent out a wanted notice across all universes for you, it means that you are very powerful, and that’s why we made preparations before coming. There are only eight of us here to round you up, but there are also another 40 quasi god-level fighters hidden all over this planet. If you try to fight back, those 40 fighters will destroy the planet, then come here to fight you!”

Su Jin’s expression darkened. Who else on this planet could possibly fight off these 40 quasi god-level owners? Xu Ran, Daitengu, Bifang, and the Nine-tailed Fox, maybe. Even if he threw himself into the mix, they would only be able to fend off a dozen or so owners. Forty such owners would definitely be enough to destroy the planet.

“I want to know what sort of reward you’d get if you kill me,” said Su Jin.

The leader chuckled and said, “The reward’s pretty good. We get to become gods immediately, and we get to be high tier gods too. Most importantly, it doesn’t matter how many people join this attack. As long as our group eventually kills you, all of us will get the reward!”

“Wow, the Handbook is really going all out just to get me,” muttered Su Jin. Hell’s Handbook did not set any limiting conditions in order to motivate others to kill him. That was a very generous offer.

“So, just give up fighting and surrender! I know you must be very powerful and we’d probably still suffer some injuries even with eight of us against you. But we’d definitely win the fight at the end of the day, so your resistance is futile,” the leader tried to persuade Su Jin.

Su Jin suddenly burst out laughing, “When you received the wanted notice from the Handbook, did the Handbook tell you in detail how powerful I am?”

“Is there a need to? No matter how powerful you become, you’re still an owner of the Handbook. As long as you don’t become a god, we’ll be able to kill you,” declared the leader proudly.

Su Jin’s smile widened. So, the Handbook did not tell these people how powerful he was. That’s why they had come excitedly to kill him.

Actually, these owners were pretty powerful, but there was a difference in their core itself. This difference caused their understanding of powers to be completely different. Even if there were 480 of them instead of 48, killing them was only a matter of time to Su Jin. He was only worried that they would destroy the planet, which would result in the deaths of so many innocent people.

Su Jin suddenly took his phone out and glanced at it, nodded and said to his eight attackers, “Alright, it’s time to go.”

“So, you’ve decided to surrender?” The leader breathed a sigh of relief inside. Engaging in battle with an owner that was actually wanted by the Handbook wouldn’t be a walk in the park for sure. It would be best if he could scare the other party into surrendering instead.

But Su Jin shook his head. “No, I’m saying that it’s time… to take you guys away!”

“Shit! Everyone, attack!” The leader realized Su Jin wasn’t surrendering and decided to launch an attack. Even if they couldn’t kill Su Jin, they could at least destroy the planet. But before he could do that, Su Jin snapped his fingers.

Everything went dark, then turned into the beautiful starry outer space. Everyone had reappeared in outer space. Everyone, because the leader realized that the people around him were not just the other seven who had gone with him to confront Su Jin, but the other 40 hidden around the planet were here too.

Su Jin looked at the group with some interest. He had used the time they spent talking earlier to send his psychokinesis around the globe, caught hold of all the owners who were in hiding, and sent them straight into space. If they fought out here, he wouldn’t need to worry about them destroying his planet.

“You think I would be afraid of you guys? You think you guys are able to defeat me? You think you had the right to invade my planet?!” Su Jin glared at the group and shook his head slightly as he roared, “You were wrong!”

“There are 48 of us and we’re all at the quasi god-level! We can do anything!” shouted the leader loudly. He should have had great confidence when he said these words, since all 48 of them had come from various universes and were the best of their respective universes, so he was right to say that they were capable of anything. But for some reason… when he met with Su Jin’s eyes, the confidence he ought to have started dissipating.

Su Jin snorted as he pointed at the leader and shook his finger slightly. The leader instantly exploded as Su Jin uttered quietly, “No, you’re not capable of that at all.”

The rest of the group instantly paled. Su Jin had been able to kill one of them by just pointing at him. He just needed to point 47 more times to kill the rest of them.

“Don’t back away! We’ll die even faster if we try to run because he can target us one by one! Let’s fight him together!” shouted one of them to stop them from going separate ways, since that would make things even worse for themselves.

Anyone who could reach this level was smart, and they agreed with the one who shouted. They immediately got ready for battle.

In order to get into their best fighting mode, they had to shed their human exteriors and had to reveal what they truly looked like. To Su Jin, this was a real Hundred Demon Night Parade, because there were really all sorts of creatures here.

They charged at Su Jin and launched their best moves. Su Jin remained in midair, and regardless of which one came at him, he just had to point at them, and that creature would explode and die immediately without him moving at all. Some of them had some special weapons and shields that could keep them alive for a longer time, but these were useless when faced with someone like Su Jin.

Within just a few minutes, all 48 owners had been slain. Su Jin was even getting a little tired of such massacres. These owners were simply too weak. If they were actually gods, then they could possibly sustain a battle of sorts. But these owners weren’t even gods, so they were like knives that were still in their sheaths. They were completely useless.

Just when Su Jin was feeling disappointed, the exploded chunks of the owners suddenly gave off a bright light that made Su Jin squint. The chunks of flesh suddenly gathered together regardless of what creature they originally belonged to and formed a gigantic body.

That was a body created from the bodies of all 48 owners, and it looked really imposing. The body glowed brightly as it stabilized, then another force shattered the glow and walked out from that huge body.

“It’s you!” Su Jin’s hair instantly stood on end when he saw who had walked out from the huge body. He knew this person.
