Global Lords: My Heroes Grow Infinitely

But it was completely different from the Dongfeng Express he had imagined.

Looks like he was overthinking it.

"Power King, what kind of equipment did you buy?" Rosen took the chance to ask.

"I bought tactical gear, some sniper rifles, grenades, and the like," Power King proudly replied.

"Crap, don't you know how unstable the abyss passage is? Even a square dance might collapse it. And you're still bringing in heavy artillery. Are you worried you won't bury yourself completely?"

Rosen laughed and scolded.

Just as Rosen was laughing and scolding Power King, Meng Die suddenly hit him on the back of the head with a hand chop.

The next moment, Rosen's sight went black, and he fainted.

When he woke up, Rosen was tightly bound, thrown into the abyss, and a time bomb was tied next to him.

Seeing the timer on the bomb with little time left, Rosen instantly became anxious and fearful.

"What do I do? It seems like there's not enough time; the bomb is about to explode!"

Before dying, Rosen recalled many things, mainly how he got tied up and sent into the abyss as bait.

It must have been Meng Die who chopped him from behind, and after fainting, he got tied up by Meng Die and brought to this place.

By now, the surrounding area was filled with members of the Demon Race, all looking at Rosen with curiosity.

"Whoa, what is this thing? It's tied up here?"

"Are you blind? It's a human, it's a human."

"Is it a gift for our king?"

"Strange, why is there a clock next to him? It's showing a countdown with only a minute left?"

The surrounding Demons started discussing amongst themselves.

Rosen knew his time was almost up, and after attracting the Demons, it would blow up.

Just then, a Demon came over to the clock on Rosen's body and started turning the minute and second hands.

Originally, there was only a minute left, but after he twisted it, there was less than thirty seconds.

Rosen immediately panicked and said, "Do you have a death wish?"

"What, this human can actually talk?" That Demon was a bit surprised.

The other Demons began to celebrate wildly, saying, "Interesting, it's my first time seeing a human and hearing one speak!"

The Demons hysterically twisted the hands of the clock, thinking it was a switch because every turn made Rosen incredibly nervous.

The Demons found it amusing and continued twisting the clockwork.

Rosen's timer was continuously changing, and he felt more at ease in his heart.

Because of the continuous twisting just now, the countdown on the time bomb had reached thirty minutes.

So it changed from the original one-minute countdown to a thirty-minute one.

This meant he could live at least another twenty-nine minutes.

The extra time to live gave Rosen a sense of security; it gave him at least a chance to disarm the time bomb.

"This is a time bomb; you should twist the clockwork to the right, as much as you can," Rosen advised the surrounding Demons.

But the Demons, one by one, did the opposite and started twisting the clockwork to the left.

Rosen's face turned pale instantly.

"You should twist it to the left, yes, to the left!" Rosen began to reverse his words.

Then the Demons started twisting the clockwork to the right.

The countdown was reset to thirty minutes, then extended to an hour.

Rosen took another sigh of relief, feeling now that his survival time had been extended significantly.

However, Meng Die saw it differently.

Meng Die paced back and forth, saying, "Why hasn't the alarm sounded yet? I set it for one minute; how long has it been?"

Barefoot Immortal asked in confusion, "Isn't that a time bomb?"

Meng Die said speechlessly, "How could it be a time bomb? It's an alarm. Once the set time is reached, it will sound an alarm to attract the Demons, then we can rush in to rescue and capture all the Demons!"

"Ah... what?" Barefoot Immortal and Power King were both stunned, saying, "I thought your plan was to use Rosen as bait to attract the Demons and then blow them up?"

"Yeah, if your plan was to use the alarm to attract Demons, why tie up Rosen, making us think Rosen was the bait?"

Hearing their words, Meng Die sneered, "You guys are the silly ones. Don't you need to chum the water when fishing? Rosen is just used for chumming!"

These words made Power King and Barefoot Immortal shiver, "Yeah, such a simple truth, how did I not understand?"

Power King's mind was racing, smoke coming out of his head.

Seeing this, Meng Die nervously asked, "Power King, why is your brain overheating?"

Power King calmly said, "I forced a reversal of my True Essence earlier, released potential, and figured something out."

"What is it?"

"It's just that, since you set a one-minute countdown, theoretically it should have passed a minute by now. The reason we haven't heard the sound might be because we're in a slowed time field?"

Upon hearing this, Meng Die said, "Makes sense."

Hurriedly called over the Red Gold Flood Dragon, saying, "You have a good grasp of space-time; check if there's any sign of time slowing around us?"

"No, it hasn't slowed down!"

After hearing the Red Gold Flood Dragon, Power King's head once again emitted smoke, saying, "Then there is another possibility, that inside the abyss, time slows down; outside a minute passes, and inside only a second passes?"

"No, the flow of time inside and outside is the same. I've calculated that," said the Red Gold Flood Dragon.

At this point, Power King's head emitted thick smoke: "Then it's strange, no matter how I think about it, I can't figure out another reason?"

Barefoot Immortal scratched his toes, smelled them under his nose, and said, "No need to say, I can figure it out by scratching my toes; surely some Demon discovered the alarm in advance and changed the timing."

Upon hearing this, the smoke on Power King's head disappeared, and he joyfully said, "So that's it, it turned out the conditions weren't sufficient. Meng Die didn't say the alarm could be timed, hey, looks like there's nothing wrong with my brain, just insufficient conditions."

"Is there a possibility that there is something wrong with your head?" Barefoot Immortal threw a spanner in the works: "I can think of more situations than you just by scratching my toes, and you can only come up with two possibilities after racking your brains?"

Upon hearing this, Power King was instantly infuriated and started punching and kicking Barefoot Immortal.

Meng Die immediately intervened to mediate the fight, saying, "Aren't you guys aware of what the abyss passage is like? Even a slight disturbance might cause it to collapse. Do you want Rosen to be buried in there?"

Hearing this, the two stopped fighting.

Meng Die insisted, disregarding Barefoot Immortal and Power King's dissuasion, on going in to find Rosen.

But Power King felt it was too dangerous to go in now, thinking Rosen was likely already surrounded by a large group of Demons, making the situation genuinely terrifying.

However, Meng Die still insisted on charging in, as he had brought many utility pole monsters, just in time to test their strength.

Just as Meng Die was entering the abyss with the utility pole monsters, Power King said, "Originally, I didn't want to bring in heavy artillery from online shopping, afraid it would cause the abyss to collapse. But since Meng Die has brought in utility pole monsters, which can hold up the space and prevent it from collapsing, I can use my shopping-heavy artillery."

"You're right, so give me a few grenades too; I want to experience the power of heavy artillery!"

Taking the grenades from Power King's hand, Barefoot Immortal smiled happily.

Entering the abyss with grenades, he pulled the pin and threw it inside.

Boom!

Inside the abyss, chaos erupted, looking like it was about to collapse.

Luckily, the utility poles were holding up; otherwise, it would really collapse.

Meng Die, with a messy hairstyle from the explosions, came up to Barefoot Immortal and slapped him, saying, "It was you who threw the grenade, right?"

"So what if I did?" Barefoot Immortal stood straight and replied.

Meng Die slapped him again, saying, "Nothing!"

"What do you mean by 'nothing'?" Barefoot Immortal remained defiant.

Meng Die slapped him once more, "Nothing means nothing!"

Barefoot Immortal immediately started crying, tears welling up, "Sis, I was wrong, please stop hitting me!"
