Bella also believed that Bi Xiao would not be the type to harm innocent people.

Even though she had casually killed so many, as an eighteen-year-old girl, she indeed felt discomfort, but it was just that—discomfort.

As for the vampires like James who were killed, she didn't feel much.

After all, they weren't even human and were enemies, so why let them live?

Forks Town had turned completely into scorched earth, with pools of lava bubbling everywhere.

The sight after the surface was cleansed was shocking.

Experiencing a great destruction firsthand always stirs emotions in one's heart.

Bi Xiao, holding the girl's slender waist, slowly floated down, landing on the ground. His gaze swept towards the Cullen family and the group of werewolves, including Jacob, who were freed from the magnetic fields due to Magneto's death.

...

"There's no need to be so tense."

He noticed both sides were a bit nervous, which was understandable. After all, he had just displayed world-destroying power; it would be strange if they weren't nervous.

Moreover, the sheer suppression of life levels is an instinctive reaction. Ordinary people might be fine, but extraordinary beings like vampires and werewolves, with their extremely keen senses, would be even more sensitive to this natural suppression.

"I am a hunter, but I don't hunt everyone. If you are willing to coexist peacefully with ordinary people, you are not on my hunting list."

Although he knew both Edward and Jacob admired Bella, their feelings were mere crushes. After being rejected by Bella, one kept a respectful distance, and the other treated her as a friend.

Both maintained boundaries, which was sufficient.

After all, he couldn't kill someone just because they had a crush on Bella—that would be overly possessive and perverse.

There were many students at school who had a crush on Bella. Should they all be killed?

Bi Xiao wasn't some indiscriminate killer.

"Nice to meet you, Mr. John," hearing Bi Xiao's words, the Cullen family breathed a sigh of relief. Although the suppression of life levels made them tense, Dr. Carlisle, as the head of the family, still stepped forward.

"Dr. Carlisle—"

Roar!!

At this introductory moment, a towering figure emerged from the scorched earth not far away, standing up like a giant and roaring angrily at Bi Xiao.

It was the Juggernaut.

At this moment, the Juggernaut's original clothing was destroyed, leaving him completely naked, with an enormous angry face exposed. Despite being bombarded by the Gate of Babylon, his body showed no damage.

Or rather, his extraordinary physical defense and personal field allowed him to heal at superhuman speeds while enduring the onslaught, constantly hovering on the edge of destruction.

It seemed like luck, but it was actually Bi Xiao's intention.

He didn't think much of the Juggernaut, but the master of the Crimson Cosmos behind him, Cytorrak, was a huge trouble he didn't want to attract by killing the Juggernaut.

Cytorrak, the master of the Crimson Cosmos, was an extremely powerful and ancient magical entity, both god and demon, worshiped by humans in ancient times until he was banished to the Crimson Cosmos.

The origin of the Juggernaut was simple.

Originally an ordinary mutant, the Juggernaut obtained a ruby deliberately placed on Earth by Cytorrak, which twisted his mind and turned him into the Juggernaut.

In ancient times, eight demonic gods gathered together—Balthakk, Farallah, Ikonn, Krakkan, Raggadorr, Valtorr, Watoomb, and Cytorrak. Disputes arose as they sought to prove who was the strongest.

Each created a magical artifact embodying their power, and the first human to touch it would become their champion.

Cytorrak created the crimson ruby, and the Juggernaut was his champion.

In reality, the Juggernaut was a toy created by Cytorrak.

Killing the Juggernaut wouldn't destroy the ruby; it would simply await its next owner. Bi Xiao didn't want to provoke a powerful Demonic God during his growth period.

Provoking such a being without the necessary strength was foolish.

If he had to provoke someone, it would be when he had the strength he once had, considering the opponent as a hunt.

The crimson dungeon far exceeded his current level; he couldn't even open it.

So having a backer is good. Magneto had no backer and was killed by Bi Xiao without hesitation.

Magneto's life essence wasn't much, not as much as some high-level demons, which didn't match his power level.

Clearly, life essence acquisition depends purely on the life level. Although Magneto's abilities were strong, his life level wasn't high enough to provide much.

The Juggernaut offered more than Magneto. Whether the crimson ruby counted as life was uncertain, but Bi Xiao doubted it. After all, it was merely an object created by Cytorrak's crimson magic.

If the crimson ruby counted, Bi Xiao might consider acquiring the Space Stone from S.H.I.E.L.D. and destroying it for experience, possibly even more than a lord-level demon.

Bi Xiao spared the Juggernaut, but the Juggernaut didn't know that. Even if he did, his childlike mind wouldn't feel grateful.

At this moment, the Juggernaut was solely focused on anger.

Anger is the Hulk's source of power, but the Juggernaut's rage was also terrifying.

The crimson ruby's magic granted him nearly limitless strength and durability, making him one of the few capable of directly confronting the Hulk. Additionally, when the Juggernaut activated his momentum, nothing could physically stop him.

In the future, he could even break through dimensional barriers with his momentum.

This showed how terrifying his momentum was.

However, he had a well-known weakness: he was virtually defenseless against powerful telepaths. For this reason, the Juggernaut had a special helmet to protect his mind from telepathic attacks.

However, this helmet was shattered by the Gate of Babylon, leaving a naked Juggernaut vulnerable to telepaths, like a child.

With a casual glance from Bi Xiao, the Juggernaut immediately calmed down.

The Juggernaut's mental world was chaotic and twisted due to the constant release of Cytorrak's magic from the crimson ruby at its center, distorting his mind.

This magic twisted his mind but also provided some resistance against most mental powers. Yet, if the mental power exceeded this limit, it could still control the Juggernaut.

Bi Xiao was one such individual.

While using mental power to subdue the Juggernaut, Bi Xiao pondered.

This physically strong but mentally weak giant seemed like a good meat shield, and since the Juggernaut was still growing—the crimson ruby's power continuously transforming him—he wasn't yet at his peak.

Currently, it was 2004, far from the time when the Juggernaut could battle the Worldbreaker Hulk.

Though weaker now, he was still formidable, with few on Earth able to confront him.

If necessary, he could be given to Bella as a bodyguard.

With this giant, Bella's safety would be significantly enhanced.

Thinking this, Bi Xiao walked to the Juggernaut, who was now over 2.8 meters tall, requiring Bi Xiao to look up. He patted the giant's shoulder, then snapped his fingers.

A golden light flashed, and a tight combat suit automatically fitted onto the Juggernaut.

"Big guy, want to talk?"

Bi Xiao spoke while using mental power to soothe the Juggernaut's childlike mind, calming him. The Juggernaut lowered his head to meet Bi Xiao's eyes, saying in a muffled voice, "You hit me very hard just now."

"Sorry, I was angry. But are you close with Magneto?"

"No, he hired me, paid me, asked me to help him. He's very strong; I couldn't beat him."

The Juggernaut replied honestly.

Bi Xiao nodded, "Can you beat me?"

Without hesitation, the Juggernaut said, "No."

"Magneto is dead. I can pay you too. Would you help me?"

"...But you have to pay me."

The Juggernaut hesitated but agreed.

"I can pay you a lot."

This immediately struck a chord with the Juggernaut, making him happy and excited, "How much?"

"A big box of money."

"Okay, as long as you pay me, I'll do anything."

The Juggernaut eagerly patted his chest.

"Then follow me for now, and help protect Bella."

The Juggernaut nodded his big head.

Bi Xiao patted the Juggernaut's shoulder again, then returned to Bella. Under Edward and Jacob's bitter gazes, he gently kissed the girl and whispered in her ear, "I have two enemies plotting against me. I need to find and defeat them."

"So..."

"Go, Shaw. You know I'll always wait for you."

Bi Xiao smiled, kissed her forehead again, and with a snap, the world shifted.

The scorched Forks Town reappeared.

It was still Charlie's house, though now in ruins, with roads destroyed by Bella's fireball.

Bi Xiao had no time magic to reverse time and restore the house.

However...

A portal emitting sparks appeared, startling everyone, as Ancient One, wearing a yellow robe, stepped out lightly.

She glanced around, paused at the Juggernaut, then looked at Bi Xiao and Bella, especially the former, with some helplessness.

Magneto was significant in this world, though not as much as Tony Stark, but still important in history. Yet, Bi Xiao had killed him.

His decisive nature was both endearing and frustrating to her.

"Master Ancient One."

Bi Xiao signaled her to look around. The Ancient One, both amused and exasperated, still extended her hand. The Eye of Agamotto on her chest emitted a green glow, and a green magic circle appeared in her palm.

Immediately, time seemed to reverse, controlled by the Ancient One.

Boom!!

Like a divine miracle, the destroyed houses, streets, and vehicles began to reverse, from ashes to fragments, back to whole.

The two-story houses, RVs, Ducati motorcycles, red pickup, streets, and vegetation were all restored to their original state.

"Wow," exclaimed the lively Alice.

The others were equally shocked. Today's events were more fantastical than their entire lives.

As vampires and werewolves, they were already extraordinary, but today's events were beyond their imagination.

Creating a separate Mirror World, destroying Forks Town in one blow, and now a bald woman controlling time to reverse it.
