"Quick, send me down."
Nick Fury dared not slacken. His subordinates were fighting demons, and every second that passed was burning money.
"It's Director Nick Fury."
Seeing Nick Fury, Chen Long wanted to exchange pleasantries, but Nick Fury interrupted him, saying, "Mr. Chen, the situation is urgent. The people of the United States are in danger every second."
He then walked past Chen Long and went to Old Man, asking, "Sir, I know you are very knowledgeable about demons and are the most authoritative here. So, please, impart all your knowledge and tell us how to stop this disaster."
Hearing Nick Fury's words, Old Man fell silent.
It wasn't that Old Man had no solutions, but that even if he knew, he was powerless.
There were only two ways to stop Bo Gang: First, find Xi Mu and see if he could be sent back along with Bo Gang when he sealed him with magic. However, Xi Mu couldn't be found in a short amount of time. Second, like when Loppe sealed the Holy Lord, create a massive magic ritual to turn Bo Gang into a stone statue.
Neither of these was something Old Man could achieve at the moment.
Although Old Man had a glorious record of re-petrifying the Holy Lord in the animal arc, ultimately, the magic was provided by Dao Long. Old Man merely recreated the magic based on the instructions.
Now, not only did Old Man not have this magic, but even if he did, the target had changed to Bo Gang, and the magic might not be effective.
Facing Nick Fury's inquiry, Old Man sighed helplessly and said, "Old Man has no solution at the moment. Bo Gang has already been sealed once, and he didn't come from his original Hell Gate. To seal him again, one must find Xi Mu, but Xi Mu has already run away."
Nick Fury, being the director of S.H.I.E.L.D., was quite capable. He quickly organized what Old Man said and extracted several key points.
"So, you're saying we need to find this demon named Xi Mu first, right?"
Understanding, Nick Fury said, "My people will do their best to delay Bo Gang and lure him to a deserted area. During this time, I will also send people to expand the search for Xi Mu."
He then took out his walkie-talkie and began to arrange the next tasks.
"What the hell?"
Bai Qi, who was still at the first waypoint, was stunned by Sheena's report.
Fang Lei originally intended to release Xi Mu to attract attention, but he never expected Xi Mu to pull off a 'buy one, get one free' trick, using some magic to affect the Hell Gate and bring Bo Gang back to the mortal world.
Now it was Bai Qi's turn to have a headache.
Bo Gang was unlike other demons. Although his mind was simple, his greatest and only interest was eating. The more he ate, the stronger he became, and he even had a glorious record of devouring over ninety percent of his territory.
Bai Qi had Dao Long as a pawn. For demons who were disobedient or difficult to control, Dao Long could act as a stand-in for Old Man, reciting spells to send them back to hell.
But Bo Gang, having been sealed once, would surely be unaffected by the original spell. This meant that the means of restraint had failed. And given Bo Gang's personality, if not restrained, he could devour half of America.
If left unchecked, Bo Gang's strength would eventually catch up to his own, which was something Bai Qi wanted to avoid the most.
While Bai Qi was agonizing over Bo Gang, Miterter, also known as Savage, walked in. He immediately noticed that Bai Qi seemed troubled.
"What's wrong? Is there a problem?"
"No," Bai Qi shook his head and said, "It's my siblings. They've given me a big surprise."
Of course, if Bai Qi were to intervene, even if he couldn't kill Bo Gang, he could suppress him effectively. But the problem was that Bai Qi couldn't intervene.
Although the eight demons schemed against each other in secret, their interactions were outwardly harmonious, with everyone referring to each other as siblings.
The last time Bai Qi acted against Zhong Su, it was under the pretext of Zhong Su pocketing his own share of the spoils. But if Bai Qi intervened this time, it would be without cause, tearing off the last fig leaf. At this stage, Bai Qi still needed this fig leaf.
Savage's interest was piqued when he heard this. He knew Bai Qi's strength. Excluding Superman, he could single-handedly take on the entire Justice League. Furthermore, as an extremely ancient being, he was a living library. If another demon could be recruited into the Illuminati, wouldn't that be...
Bai Qi saw through Savage's thoughts and waved his hand, saying, "Forget it. My eldest sister knows nothing but eating. She's simple-minded and hard to control."
As he spoke, he turned on the TV. The first channel was a live broadcast about Bo Gang.
On the television, Bo Gang, unfazed by the continuous bombardment, was tearing apart pedestrians, vehicles, and even buildings, stuffing them into his mouth.
"See? My eldest sister's mind is only filled with eating. She even has a glorious record of devouring over ninety percent of her territory back then. If you recruit her into the Illuminati, even ancient emperors wouldn't be enough for her to eat."
Savage looked at Bo Gang's gluttonous display and nodded helplessly, saying, "Indeed, not enough for her to eat."
Not only Savage, but it was likely that no one in the world could satisfy Bo Gang's hunger.
Just as Bai Qi was struggling with how to deal with Bo Gang, Savage's words gave him an idea.
"Why are you in such a hurry? Some people are even more anxious than you."
The people Savage was referring to were none other than the Justice League.
As expected, after Bo Gang caused great destruction in Boston while eating heartily, bringing immense damage to S.H.I.E.L.D. and the local area, the Justice League arrived.
The first to arrive were The Flash, Green Lantern, and Hawkgirl, all of whom could be considered veterans of the Justice League.
The Flash, being the fastest, arrived and without a word, gave Bo Gang a full-body itch.
Bo Gang, who was unaffected by missiles, found The Flash's attack to be at most an itch, even less than that.
After his attack, The Flash ran off Bo Gang and rendezvoused with Green Lantern and Hawkgirl, saying, "Wow, how are we supposed to deal with this giant fellow?"
"Oh, my goodness!"
As soon as The Flash finished speaking, Green Lantern, with sharp eyes, saw Bo Gang bend down and grab a bus. Most of the people inside had jumped out to escape, but one or two were trapped inside.
The people trapped inside continued to call for help from the windows.
The three dared not delay and immediately took action.
Hawkgirl, wielding her Nth metal mace, ascended and struck Bo Gang's hand.
She knew her strength was limited, and it was better to strike precisely rather than attack Bo Gang's body.
