"What is it?" Lisa raised her eyebrows and asked upon feeling Cecily's gaze on her.
Cecily glanced at Narry before replying lazily, "Nothing much, I just felt that you can be quite useful sometimes."
Lisa hummed before looking back towards the zoo, where Jungkook had already gotten to the gates and was looking over in their direction.
"Mr. Jeon, what do we need to do now?" The leader of America asked as he walked over to Jungkook.
Jungkook didn't reply to this and only started letting out waves of energy that caused the leader to step back and look up at him in shock.
"What's wrong leader?" Cecily watched as Lisa walked over to Jungkook and took out a few pieces of jade before walking over to the leader, and was quite taken aback by how absolutely shocked the leader seemed to be.
The leader wiped off the cold sweat on his forehead as he replied, "Since when did Young Master Jeon become this strong?"
She had thought that something went wrong, but upon hearing that it was because of this, Cecily rolled her eyes and replied, "He already could win against the top ten on the Heaven and Earth Rankings years ago, do you think it's strange that he's even stronger now?"
Does he think it's strange? Was it not?! They were all living on the same planet and he had been training for much longer than Jungkook had, but he would definitely be defeated in an instant!
"Alright, " Cecily looked over at the blue barrier that had enclosed the area above the zoo and inhaled deeply. "It's about to start, let's go."
There was a tall building right next to the zoo, and right at that moment, many people from the supernatural world of America had already converged on the roof and were watching things go down in the zoo.
Meanwhile, the jade in Lisa's hands had already floated into position, and in the next moment the zoo was enveloped in a thick, cloudy fog, and it was clear that the zoo had been enveloped with an array.
Lisa and Jungkook made their way to the roof too, and Lisa squinted slightly as her mental power blanketed the entire zoo.
"She set up an array in such a short time?"
"Oh my God! This is the Microcosmic Array!"
"Sh*t, have I gone crazy?"
"Is she still a human being?!"
"..."
Such exclamations were elicited from the many onlookers as they all looked over at Lisa as if she were a rare breed on exhibit in a zoo.
"Shut up." Jungkook turned around and glared at them coldly when he saw Lisa's eyebrows furrow in displeasure.
Those voices immediately disappeared.
Everyone looked over at the leader with questioning gazes: What, was it illegal to be in awe of this girl? Could they not express their amazement? It's damn difficult to hold it in!
The leader replied with a single gaze that said: Why don't you people reflect on how weak you are instead of acting like country bumpkins?
Everyone: Well if you're such a big shot why don't you go and fight her?
The leader: ...
Just as everyone was having this unspoken conversation, Cecily looked towards the sky where a helicopter flew into range, and a dozen figures jumped down from it.
This scene would have been quite frightening to the regular person-Did these people have a death wish, jumping down from such a height?
That being said, even the people on the roof were surprised by this scene because it was quite extraordinary even for the likes of superhumans, but when they saw that those people were the subordinates of Jungkook, they all felt as if it were natural.
Jungkook's team of subordinates were at the top of the entire ancient martial arts world, after all!
Cecily only fixed them all with a pitying stare-Were they so easily surprised? Wait till they saw Lili's Peacekeepers!
"Sis, did I miss anything?" Cecil rushed over and asked upon seeing that the zoo had been enveloped with a thick fog.
"Nope, no worries." Cecily glanced over at Nozawa who came together with Cecil. "So you went to fetch him, I see?"
Cecil breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing that he hadn't missed anything. "He was nearby, so we came together when we heard that Miss Lalisa was here."
Cecily nodded curtly and turned back to look in the direction of the zoo, knowing that he didn't miss out on any of the action. "He was at the base and he heard that Miss Lalisa would be here, so he said he wanted to come too."
Meanwhile, Donghyuk, Hoseok, and Jaehyun were standing at another corner of the roof where none of the Americans dared to step close to them, and Donghyuk looked over to see Alang standing next to Jiji. "Is this the newbie that Miss Lalisa recruited?"
"Yup, it's him!" Jiji waved its arms around in the air and replied.
Donghyuk nodded and looked towards Alang. "Good luck kid, you'll get flooded with challengers the moment you step into the ancient martial arts world!"
Alang was still quite taken aback by how these people jumped down from a few hundred meters in the air, so he unconsciously shrank into himself. "Challenge me?"
Donghyuk only glanced at him with raised eyebrows. Back in the ancient martial arts world, there was an uncountable amount of youngsters that wanted to join the Peacekeepers, and this foreigner that popped out of nowhere got to join, so it was only natural that he would be challenged for his position.
He didn't say this out loud, however, and only fixed him with a stare.
Alang felt a chill run down his spine upon being stared at like this, but before he could say anything, a voice came from behind him, "Is Joyner all better?"
Alang turned around to see that it was Cecil, and now that the topic had been brought up, he replied with a surprised tone, "I don't know what it was that Miss Lalisa fed her, but the illness that plagued her for almost ten years was cured halfway just like that!"
Alang had expected the others to be shocked by this news, but he hadn't expected everyone from Cecily to Donghyuk to nod as if this was a perfectly normal occurrence.
"Miss Lalisa probably didn't have most of her tools at hand, or else your sister would have been cured in a single day!" Donghyuk commented.
And so, Alang's plan to shock them backfired, and he was the one that was shocked once more!
Huh, did no one think that it was an extraordinary feat? What was this reaction?
"Donghyuk, Boss wants to see you." Hoseok leaned close to Donghyuk's ear and whispered.
Donghyuk nodded and walked over to Jungkook, and Hoseok was about to go with him before he saw Nozawa and he smirked. "Other than the four locations in America, there was another location that Miss Lalisa predicted in your country... Mt. Fuji, I believe? Your leader didn't believe us when we notified him earlier!"
Nozawa's expression immediately paled considerably, but Hoseok didn't explain any further, leaving right after dropping this news.
Cecily tutted and pat Nozawa's shoulder sympathetically, but her tone was anything but. "Lili said that the calamity would be triggered at the same time at all five locations, poor you!"
Upon hearing what Hoseok said, Cecil looked towards Nozawa in surprise. "Nozawa, how did you people manage to offend Miss Lalisa?"
At this point, Nozawa's expression had turned steely and dark as he took out his phone and walked away to call up the leaders of Japan.
America and Japan were too far away from each other, so he couldn't get back there in time, but he was thankfully quite well respected and revered back in Japan. Even though he didn't get first place in the ranking battles this time around, he was still quite idolized-Who would blame him for losing against Lisa, after all?
"Sis, what's going on?" Cecil had been in the legacy base for the past few days, so he didn't know what was happening.
Cecily scoffed lightly. "Those leaders from Japan wanted to pressure the ancient martial arts world into giving up their resources, that's what!"
"Pfft, they wanted to do that?!" Cecil didn't know what to think about the idiots that wanted to harm the ancient martial arts world that had both Lisa and Jungkook. "Did they think that Miss Lalisa wouldn't find out? Did they have a death wish?"
"You would think so too, wouldn't you? Our respected leader wanted to take part in those plans too!" Cecily shot a withering glare over at the leader of America.
Cecil looked over at the leader too with a frozen expression, sucking in a cold breath as he processed this news. F*ck, their leader was a part of it too?
He felt as if a cold, icy blade missed his neck by a breadth of a hair.
The leader of America: 'Don't look at me like that, I've already repented...'
Nozawa had already finished his phone call and was walking back as he rubbed his temples, and upon seeing this Cecil spoke sympathetically, "Are your leaders' heads made of pig brains?"
Nozawa didn't know how to reply to this, but if he was quite honest, he was inclined to agree.
Donghyuk had already finished talking with Jungkook when Hoseok walked over there, and upon seeing this Donghyuk raised his eyebrows. "Hoseok, are you trying to collect good karma? Why did you tell him that?"
"Miss Lalisa told me to tell him." Hoseok had already called the leader of Japan before and had been turned away with a cold shoulder, but he still had to carry out what Lisa asked him to do dutifully.
"Miss Lalisa?" Donghyuk squinted slightly, not thinking that Lisa did it purely out of the kindness of her heart, being the sly fox that she was. "What's she planning?"
Hoseok shrugged. "Who knows? ...Hey, it's starting."
Donghyuk looked over in the direction of the zoo where it had already been covered with a blanket of evil aura so thick it was visible, and from the undulating black mass came the animals that had mutated and grown two times larger than they were initially.
The animals stampeded out of the zoo, and there was no question that even the most well-trained soldier would be torn apart in a heartbeat.
Upon seeing this, the leader knew that if they hadn't believed in Lisa, this entire area would have become hell on Earth!
Even if they knew it was coming, they wouldn't have been able to build such a large barrier to stop them!
Upon thinking of this, his back was covered with cold sweat in fear of what would have happened. If Cecily hadn't told him to pull out of the plan and apologize immediately, America would be done for!
"Leader, why aren't you sending anyone to kill those monstrosities?!" Narry's legs turned into putty as he looked at this hellish scene.
The others that were on the roof all nodded too, trembling in fear. "Yes, leader! What's going on?!"
Narry and the others were all scared out of their mind by those mutated animals, but no matter how much they pleaded, the leader of America didn't react in the slightest as he looked over at Lisa.
"Leader, have you gone mad?!" Narry and the other onlookers almost pulled out their hair in frustration, and when they looked towards Cecily and Cecil, they realized that the two youngsters seemed to not be worried in the slightest, not reacting in the slightest other than a slight glint of surprise. "Cecily, Cecil, are you two crazy too?!"
Narry felt so horrified at the scene that was unfurling right in front of him that his blood ran cold, but why did none of these people react in the slightest?? Why weren't Hoseok and the others doing anything?!
"Do you think you can kill those monsters?" Cecily asked.
Narry was almost hysteric at this point, and he asked, "No, but are you just going to watch? Are you people just going to wait until they break down the barrier and destroy the entire city?!"
"If I remember correctly, wasn't a certain someone skeptical of this entire operation?" Cecily glanced over at him, her words making him lower his head in shame. "Relax, they're on their way."
They? Who did she mean?
Along with Cecily's words, Jiji's movements stopped too, looking towards the sky as they did.
At that moment, the air above the roof seemed to ripple, and all of a sudden, the sunlight that shone down on them warped slightly as a wormhole appeared in thin air.
The members of the Peacekeepers all jumped down from midair and arranged themselves neatly into eleven squads.
The onlookers had been astonished enough by how Jungkook's subordinates showed up, but they were even more surprised when these people appeared out of...A rip in space? Was this teleportation?!
Before any of them could react, the Peacekeepers all turned towards a single direction and shouted, their voices deafening, "Miss Lalisa!"
The onlookers finally realized that these were Lisa's subordinates, and they wiped the cold sweat off of their foreheads in fright.
Lisa opened her eyes and looked towards the Peacekeepers. "Where's Xixi and Dog Feed?"
Kihyun's lips twitched slightly, and as he was about to complain that those two ran off halfway the air rippled again.
"Beauty Lisa, we're here!"
"Good." Lisa nodded, before casting her gaze back at the hellish scene that was unfurling down below. "Look at those beasts, are you scared?"
"No we're not!" Upon being asked, they all refused immediately and looked down towards the zoo. No wonder Miss Lalisa got them to come here out of nowhere, so it was because she wanted them to fight!
Even though the mutated animals down below were ferocious and terrifying, all the Peacekeepers were excited and raring for a fight!
"Damn, as crazy as always, that lot." Jaehyun's eyebrow twitched slightly upon seeing their reaction.
Donghyuk sighed in agreement. "They're probably the only ones that would dare to go down there."
One would be hard-pressed to find anyone that would dare go down there in the entire ancient martial arts world excluding Lisa and Jungkook, but the Peacekeepers could and would do so!
Hoseok looked down at the scene below with a thoughtful gaze. Their team hadn't known that the scene below would have been like this before they came here, and now that they were face to face with it, even they were taken aback. "Call me crazy, but I'm somehow not worried for them in the slightest."
"Ditto." Jaehyun muttered in agreement.
If it were anyone else, they wouldn't have thought that a hundred-man team would have even the slightest chance of winning, but these were the Peacekeepers that had been trained by Lisa herself! These people were revered all throughout the ancient martial arts world, and no one would question their ability!
Miss Lalisa and her Peace Manor could do anything if they set their mind to it!
"What are you guys doing?" Donghyuk asked upon seeing some of the Americans starting to step forwards.
The Americans replied with a solemn tone, "Mr. Yi Donghyuk, this is a matter of life and death for America, and we can't just let your people bear the brunt of this attack!"
"Good, I was starting to believe that you guys didn't have a conscience." Donghyuk waved his hand dismissively. "That being said, you only need to watch the show with the Peacekeepers there, you'd only be a burden if you went down there anyway."
The Americans all looked at each other dubiously, not sure of what they should do. Who were the Peacekeepers? Why was he so sure that they could deal with this?
"Alright, Mr. Yi Donghyuk is right." Cecily and the leader of America sounded out in agreement. "Just watch and see."
Even Cecily and their leader were so confident in these Peacekeepers? Those people looked at each other in surprise before they all walked over to the leader and stood behind him, looking down at the zoo as instructed.
It was only then that he realized that these squads of youngsters that seemed to emanate limitless power were the Peacekeepers. "So this is the group that Miss Lalisa recruited me into?"
It seemed to be quite promising!
At this, he walked over to Lisa and lowered his head slightly. "Miss Lalisa."
He had been under Lisa's many graces, so it was time for him to show that he wasn't someone that didn't have a sense of gratitude.
"You haven't gone through training yet, so just watch from here okay?" Lisa knew what he wanted to do, but she refused. "I'll only let you join the fighting when you can win against Cecil, at least."
Alang didn't know the point of having him join them if she wasn't going to allow him to fight, but he digressed.
The Peacekeepers already knew that there was going to be a new recruit from the loudspeaker Xixi, and upon seeing that Alang wasn't afraid of the scene below in the slightest, they all smiled in approval.
His personality fit the Peacekeepers well!
"Thank goodness I got here in time." Seokjin came onto the roof from the stairwell so he was still panting tiredly, and he breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Lisa and the others still there.
"Why are you here?" Donghyuk asked in surprise. "Don't you have a photoshoot or something, Mister Superstar?"
Seokjin took out his phone and shook it slightly. "I was in the middle of filming a movie nearby, and I got wind that the zoo was locked down, so I knew things were about to go down."
Along with Seokjin, some people from the Bai gang came to this place too.
"Boss, are these the Peacekeepers?" One of the members asked upon seeing the squads lined up beside Lisa.
Boss Bai's gaze didn't leave Lisa's direction as he replied: "Don't talk."
Upon seeing this, the member made a gesture of zipping his mouth shut before looking towards the zoo like everyone else.
And so, the rooftop was filled with an enraptured audience that was waiting in bated breath for the epic battle to start.
Cecily spared another glance at the people from America, and said, "Look at how they cooperate and fight these monsters!"
She had seen how Lisa trained these people back in Baixing Village, so she knew that just by looking at them fight, they would be able to learn many things that they hadn't known before.
Of course, they would also feel a great sense of powerlessness.
"Brother Jungkook, help us maintain the barrier and the array, okay?" Lisa looked towards Jungkook.
This battle was bound to be a dynamic and large-scaled one, so if the barrier broke even the leftover shockwaves from the battle would be able to cause mass destruction.
"Don't worry, I will." Jungkook nodded and looked down at her. "Take care of yourself."
Lisa nodded, and with a single gesture, she and the Peacekeepers all jumped down towards the zoo!
Upon catching sight of a living being, one tiger that had mutated to thrice its size immediately pounced towards them!
Lisa's expression was as calm and collected as always as a bolt of lightning shot out from above her head and struck the tiger mercilessly, and before the tiger could react it was slammed into the ground by the sheer force of the attack. Meanwhile, the Peacekeepers had found their own targets, and were using their techniques and abilities with abandon.
Chanwoo trapped a lion and a cobra in an array while one of his teammates struck down at the enemy with a Lightning Blade!
"They can utilize sword aura!" One of the Americans shouted in surprise before another did too, "Why did that lance user's weapon disappear all of a sudden?!"
Donghyuk explained proudly, "That's one of our martial arts techniques, the Unseen Lance!"
"What the f*ck? I thought that bird and that flower were just Miss Lalisa's pets! Why are they so strong?!" Someone exclaimed in disbelief upon seeing Dog Feed swallow a mutated horse.
Hoseok looked towards them with a mirthful glint. "You're not wrong!"
It was one thing for her subordinates to be strong, but why were two pets so unbelievably strong too?!
At first, they were all exclaiming and gasping in awe, but soon enough they were all so astonished by what was happening that they couldn't say a word.
The squad that was the most ferocious out of all them was the one led by Kihyun, and together with Rosé and Jimin, three of the members with the most power and brutality within all of the Peacekeepers were grouped into the same squad.
Kihyun used his chi to trap a cobra while Rosé rushed forward and grabbed it before swinging it down mercilessly onto the ground and swinging her fists at it repeatedly and Jimin followed suit. This mutated cobra that seemed to be terrifying and unbeatable in the eyes of others was immediately turned into a punching bag.
In the end, that cobra didn't even struggle anymore and just laid there on the ground weakly, letting Kihyun and the others punch it, all thoughts of fighting back lost.
Another young man swung his blade so quickly it could barely be seen in the mass of mutated animals, and the weaker ones were killed by him in an instant.
But the most terrifying of them all was Lisa!
She walked slowly on the battlefield, looking as if she was just taking a walk in the park as the dust and shockwaves from the battles around her didn't affect her in the slightest.
She didn't attack much, but when she did it was to strike down any animals that tried to fly into the air with a single bolt of lightning or a single swing of her palm.
It was clear at this point that she was trying to help the Peacekeepers train, and whenever someone couldn't hold on anymore, she would immediately rush over to them and protect them.
Xixi and Dog Feed were two indomitable forces on the battlefield as well-Xixi shifted into its largest form and burnt down enemies into ash with its blue flames and knocked them over with its wings, while Dog Feed chomped down on the enemies with a single gulp before spitting them out again and finding its next target.
Everyone on the battlefield was greatly cooperative and knew exactly when and where they had to be at a certain place, and how to fill up the gaps in their formations seamlessly. Even Xixi and Dog Feed always appeared perfectly wherever they were needed, and it was as if the Peacekeepers were a finely tuned battle machine that had everyone sitting at the edge of their seats.
The mutated animals that had been roaring up a storm not twenty minutes earlier were all pummeled into the ground, and at this point, all one could hear was their painful yelps and moans!
What just happened?!
The audience on the rooftop could barely hold in their excitement!
This scene was way too shocking to be put into words!
These people had already set their minds on defending their country, and some of them were already prepared to die in battle, but now that they saw this, all they could do was tremble in excitement and hot-blooded fervor!
This was a true one-sided battle!
The Peacekeepers used their actions to show that they were unstoppable, invincible, and that they were the true masters of battle in this world! Those beasts were nothing but rag dolls in front of them!
