Superman Termination Manual-Chapter 579 - 278 First Week of the Divine
Chapter 579: Chapter 278: First Week of the Divine Communicator Gathering Chapter 579: Chapter 278: First Week of the Divine Communicator Gathering August 23rd, 5:00 pm Huanjing time, inside Anubis’s “Meeting Room”.
Black Wukong stepped out from behind the door, gazing at the two figures wearing Ultraman masks in front of him, then pulled out a mobile phone from the pocket of his metal long coat, typed on the screen, and finally lifted his right hand to turn the screen towards the two figures.
“Who are you?”
Seeing the concise text above the mobile phone screen, Ke Mingye sighed, thinking how unreliable the cultured folks could be.
He had originally thought about letting the cultured folks use the power accessed through Anubis to summon an S-rank Divine Communicator and Hermit, who could sit at the same table with Zeus, then rely on Fan Quan’s decade-long pyramid scheme rhetoric to successfully coax this big shot out of hiding and ultimately use him to take care of the deceitful Zeus.
However… The explosive scene before him was undoubtedly like a speeding truck realistically crushing his fantasies, before being swept away into the tide of car exhaust fumes.
“Where am I being dragged to, is this really still a Divine Communicator gathering, and not some family get-together?” he thought.
...
He glanced sideways at Fan Quan; clearly, the cultured folk were also somewhat speechless at the moment.
[Failed Man: Do we have to? Just got out of school and you drag me to a family gathering, what’s the meaning of this?]
[Fan Quan: What can I say?]
…
…
A few minutes ago, also during twilight, on Luo Dehua Commercial Street.
Underneath the sky dyed blood red by the setting sun, Black Wukong stood on the Somersault Cloud, her hoodie rippling with the chilly wind. She leaned down slightly, looking down at the street below, where the superhero team—the Red Giant Team—was spotted: team leader “Red Giant”, members “White Glove” and “Lilith”.
The former was a character who witnessed the feud between Octopus Man and Lan Ou unfold on Luo Dehua Commercial Street. Speaking of Red Giant, viewers could almost instinctively think of two words: one is “five foot three”, the other is “hot-tempered”;
The latter two are also rising stars, but they debuted before Red Giant, with more experience. The reason they were not the team leaders was simply— their popularity just wasn’t as high as Red Giant’s.
Nowadays, the Superhero Association mainly values the popularity and money-making abilities of heroes, hence the more visually striking “Red Giant” was placed in the team leader position.
Red Giant’s attire remained unchanged, a dark red battle suit with an X-shaped mask on his face and a striking red flaming hairstyle. Just looking at the face and temperament was scary enough, but his height, barely one meter sixty, robbed everything of its persuasive power, leaving an incongruity reminiscent of a middle-schooler’s cosplay.
It is said that Red Giant had multiple arguments with other heroes within the Association, even making the news headlines, simply because others discussed his height, and it annoyed him.
In addition to this, the team of three was also humorously referred to as the “Stand User Team” by netizens, as they are all summoning-type ability users.
Red Giant’s ability was to create an “invisible giant”; White Glove could summon a “Ghost Doctor” in a white lab coat; and Lilith could summon a “Rainbow Horse” akin to My Little Pony.
Now that the Superhero Association is essentially reliant on capital operations, naturally, heroes with similar features would be grouped together, just like the “Octopus Man Team is fully composed of Mutants”—a team having distinct characteristics helps the audience remember, which is a good thing in today’s era. Being seen more makes it less likely to be drowned in the internet’s tide and left unnoticed.
“Seems like I’m not needed here…” Black Wukong thought to herself. She had planned to go to cram school right after school but changed her mind upon seeing breaking news on her phone and immediately dressed in uniform to rush here on the Somersault Cloud.
Right now, the Red Giant Team seemed to be in the upper hand, their opponent being the C-rank Superhuman fugitive—”Thug Body”. His ability, “Waste to Treasure,” could refashion various metal components into reinforced versions.
At this moment, he appeared in front of the bank in a “Thug Body” of reinforced metal parts, resembling a huge, angular robot—its stacked black fists were as large as a column’s cross-section, with a somewhat bulky and stubby lower body incongruously paired with the upper. A Z-shaped metal mask covered his head, with machine indicators for eyes emitting dazzling red lights, full of danger.

The current scene was particularly eerie; Thug Body seemed to be getting beaten up by some massive creature, continuously forced backward as metal parts scattered in all directions along with flying sparks.
Black Wukong knew very well that the one attacking Thug Body was the “Invisible Giant” created by Red Giant’s ability.
Through her Eyes of Golden Flame, the appearance of the “invisible giant” was clear: standing five meters tall, towering over traffic lights, with skin cracked throughout, showing a dangerous red akin to a being wrapped in lava, with empty, soulless eyes.
Red Giant aggressively used the “Invisible Giant” to beat down on Thug Body, while on his side, White Glove and Lilith also used their summoned creatures, “Ghost Doctor” and “Rainbow Horse”, to assist the “Invisible Giant”.
These two were like support characters in a game.
Lilith’s “Rainbow Horse” radiated kaleidoscopic points of light from its horn, which enveloped the “Invisible Giant”, though their exact purpose was unknown;
