Superman Termination Manual

Chapter 154 Blue Owl X Qi'an Cultist X Superhero Squad

```

Late at night, Hongdeng Commercial District.

Blue Owl sat on the railings of the observation deck of Huanjing Tower, his leather-clad fingers fiddling with a cellphone, the beak of his helmet extending downward.

The red and blue of his battle suit was nearly dyed the same color as the night, yet it remained vivid and eye-catching, as if every angle shimmered with a dim halo.

Shifting his gaze away from the cellphone, his eyes drooped behind the lenses as he overlooked the brightly lit Hongdeng Commercial District. The flow of traffic was like a dragon, and the streets were noisy with people's voices, intermingled with one or two clichéd advertising slogans, enough to cause one's ears to form calluses.

Gazing farther into the distance, the skyscraper symbolizing the Superhero Association stood out among the rest, proudly towering against the black canvas of the sky, like a giant holding a torch aloft.

Embedded in the upper middle part of the tower was a huge blue and white logo "SHA" (short for SuperHero Association), each letter shining brilliantly against the night sky, diffusing a futuristic glow from the fluorescent lights.

At the very top, a searchlight projected the emblem of the Superhero Association into the night sky, appearing above the clouds, as if warning those criminals lurking in the darkness.

Moments later, the hustle and bustle of the city was broken by a sudden commotion.

Blue Owl raised his eyebrows and turned his head to look.

In the distance, a church suddenly erupted into chaos, followed by flames that soared and devoured the dome of the church like a devil in a blink of an eye.

Then, the wailing of police sirens reached his ears.

A procession of police cars, flashing red and blue lights, raced through the streets. Fire engines followed slowly behind, with high-pressure water cannons at the ready.

"A church... lately there seems to be a criminal specifically targeting churches, known as the 'Qi'an Cultist'."

Blue Owl looked down at the church engulfed in flames, bowed his head slightly, and checked the wanted list on the Superhero Association's official website using his backup cellphone.

As a result, the beak on his helmet poked the screen again, and even damaged the screen protector.

"Ah, seriously fed up with this... really want to chop this damn thing off, why did I dig this hole for myself in the past?"

He sighed, tilting his head up slightly to avoid the same situation, while lightly touching the beak and murmuring his complaints.

"Let's go, join in the excitement, might even bump into old man."

Thinking this, Blue Owl stowed away his backup cellphone and slid down the ladder on the tower's side, leaning forward fiercely about ten meters above the ground. With one step on the safety ladder, he descended toward the security room of a nearby park.

Inside the security room, a guard dozing off at the table suddenly awoke, the light bulb overhead flickering on and off. He lifted his gaze from his arms just in time to see a red and blue figure landing at the park's entrance and darting towards the street.

Then, like a cheetah, Blue Owl sprinted towards the church, cutting through the bustling city center.

The passing flow of vehicles and the crowd merely served as a backdrop, accentuating his swift and ferocious figure.

With such speed, it wasn't long before he arrived at the church.

At this very moment, on the lawn outside the church, the police were engaged in a standoff with a muscular monster clad in Christian clerical clothing, covered in cross tattoos.

Through his visor, Blue Owl looked at this monster, with an information panel popping up before his eyes.

[Codename: Qi'an Cultist]

[Name: Attev Sar]

[Danger Level: D++]

[Profile: An apostate expelled from Christianity for wantonly using his superpowers to kill innocents in the name of the Lord, he is currently obsessed with seeking revenge on Christians around the world.]

The policemen raised their handguns, remaining relatively calm as they pulled the triggers against the charging "Qi'an Cultist." Bullets hurtled out of the chambers with great kinetic energy, firing at the Qi'an Cultist.

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

Several gunshots tore through the night, bullets arriving on cue.

Yet, the Qi'an Cultist merely raised his right arm, and the cross tattoos on his body simultaneously radiated a holy glow.

Swiftly, a Holy Cross of Light formed in front of him, acting as a shield that blocked all the bullets.

He stepped forward on the lawn, his figure rocketing out like a cannonball towards the police.

In the astonished and petrified gazes of the policemen, the Qi'an Cultist lifted the giant Holy Cross of Light, smashing it down towards the head of the officer before him like wielding a hammer.

If nothing unexpected happened, this strike would directly crush the officer's head, scattering brains and bones.

But upon seeing this, Blue Owl quickly charged forward, activating "Phase Transfer" to swap positions with the officer while his right hand donned a metal gauntlet.

In that moment, the surface of the gauntlet erupted with fierce electrical arcs and roaring flames.

Lightning and fire intertwining, a deep blue streak of light shot from the corner of his eye as his right fist smashed forward, meeting the Holy Cross of Light coming at him from above.

Bang!

A deafening explosion followed, with a sharp wind scraping past his cheek.

Blue Owl's figure was knocked back two to three meters, his legs carving out a trench in the ground;

The Qi'an Cultist, on the other hand, was hurled five to six meters away, slightly tumbling onto the lawn.

"Superheroes... superheroes, superheroes everywhere! It's because of you nosey bastards that my life is filled with trepidation."

The Qi'an Cultist twisted his scowling brows, growling with a stern face.

"Oh, if you are a fan of mine, then you'd know from my interviews that I'm actually not a superhero yet. Aren't you a bit mistaken about me?"
