Desert Rose, Samira.
"One material for synthesis."
Arcanist, Shaco.
"Whoa, Sunshine Boy, I don't recognize this skin."
After opening the two fragments, the hero fragment yielded Samira, a mortal, and Noah immediately included her as a synthesis material. The skin fragment yielded the Joker Shaco skin. Noah didn't think much of this skin; if he had Joker, he might consider synthesizing this skin with fragments.
"Sigh, why isn't it Dark Star Shaco? If it were, I'd synthesize him immediately." Noah mused.
At this point, Noah's ten-pull officially ended. The gains from this summon were significant, once again boosting Noah's strength. At this moment, Noah felt that he was not afraid of most enemies in the movies, only a few super-scale existences, such as Thanos with the Infinity Gauntlet, would make Noah wary.
"Time to go up."
For these past ten-odd days, Noah had spent most of his time down below, only leaving the Underground Laboratory for certain periods, such as meal times, playing with Gwen, doing missions, and sleeping with Lissandra.
Gwen had roughly familiarized herself with this World over these ten-odd days and was now beginning to experience the beauty of the World. Gwen was currently very fond of playing on the computer, watching TV, and surfing the internet. Noah felt that if this continued, Gwen would become an internet-addicted girl.
"Come on, Little Hat, I'll show you a New World." Noah said to the Magic Hat on his head.
Deathcap, upon hearing Noah's words, excitedly swayed back and forth, its large mouth on the hat constantly opening and closing, with magic energy gushing from its mouth.
Seeing its excited appearance, Noah suddenly thought of something: "You wouldn't bite people, would you? I'm telling you, those two up there are your Mistresses. Don't you dare attack them, or I'll keep you locked in the equipment slot forever."
Deathcap's constantly opening and closing mouth paused, seemingly startled by Noah's threat. It quickly flew in front of Noah, moving up and down repeatedly, as if nodding.
"Hmm, alright." Noah nodded in satisfaction, releasing a bit of magic power to it. Deathcap surprisingly swallowed the magic power Noah released, then let out a burp, spitting out a wisp of magic energy, but quickly swallowed it back.
"Let's go."
The training room door opened automatically. Noah stepped out from behind the door, then followed a long corridor to the Underground Laboratory's elevator.
After exiting the Underground Laboratory, the sunlight shone on Noah's face, making him unconsciously stretch. Every time he secluded himself for scientific research, it was quite tiring, which was why Noah wanted to recruit some talented individuals.
"Oh, by the way, speaking of that, Banner doesn't seem to have called yet." Ever since Banner was taken away by General Ross last time, he hadn't called Noah. Noah now suspected whether Banner could get out on his own. Could General Ross be using a honey trap?
"Forget it, if he doesn't come out in a few days, I'll go check." Noah believed that General Ross couldn't control Banner and Hulk, so Noah decided not to rush this matter for now.
On the path to the Villa, Deathcap, who had just arrived in this World, was similar to Gwen initially, lively, jumping around, scurrying everywhere, sometimes flying over the fountain to play with Water, and sometimes flying to the sculptures in the manor.
As Noah reached the Villa entrance, Lissandra came to meet him.
"Noah."
Lissandra had actually been accompanying Noah in the Underground Laboratory these past few days, only temporarily leaving to prepare lunch. Now seeing Noah come up, she knew he intended to temporarily stop his secluded research.
"Lissandra, let me introduce you. This fellow is the World Ender's Magic Hat. It's a moving hat." Upon hearing Noah's introduction, Deathcap was a bit unconvinced. What did he mean, 'a moving hat'? He was the most powerful Magic Hat.
Although dissatisfied with Noah's introduction, Deathcap still scurried over, circling Lissandra, seemingly trying to curry favor with her. This was all because Noah's recent threat was too effective, so Deathcap directly put down its dignity as a divine artifact.
"Hmm, I already saw it just now. It's a very magical creation." Lissandra had already seen what was happening in the Underground Laboratory from above. Lissandra's eyes could see everything happening within the entire manor. All the surveillance cameras in the manor were Lissandra's eyes, even when Noah was showering, she could see him clearly.
Deathcap, flying next to Lissandra, nodded in agreement. 'I am a very powerful hat.'
"Oh? Noah, are you up?" Just then, a clear and pleasant voice came from behind Lissandra.
Gwen emerged from behind Lissandra, her clean, delicate hands clutching Lissandra's shoulders, her head peeking out from Lissandra's left shoulder.
Since Noah had been busy with experiments these past few days, he hadn't had time to play games with Gwen, so Gwen hadn't touched games either. After all, Gwen felt it was only fun when she played with Noah.
"Yeah, I've been busy for so many days, I plan to rest for a bit." Noah stretched, his body emitting crisp cracking sounds.
And Deathcap, seeing Gwen's appearance, understood that this was the other Mistress Noah had mentioned. It immediately replicated its earlier actions towards Lissandra, circling Gwen.
"Wow! A flying hat, how amazing!" Gwen exclaimed, her two heterochromatic eyes sparkling.
The praised Magic Hat was about to sway proudly when it heard Gwen's next sentence:
"This fabric looks so beautiful too. Can I cut a piece off?"
"Snip, snip~"
Gwen pulled out scissors and made a cutting motion with her hands.
The Magic Hat was startled by Gwen's shocking words, almost falling from the air.
After steadying itself, Deathcap quickly hid behind Noah, not daring to approach Gwen.
"Gwen, don't scare him." Noah said with a helpless smile.
"Hehe~"
"Oh, right, Noah, did you just say you're not going down there anymore? That's great! Come play games with me!"
Hearing that Noah finally intended to leave that annoying Underground Laboratory, Gwen's face lit up with a happy smile. She darted out from behind Lissandra, grabbed Noah's hand, and tried to walk upstairs.
Just as Gwen was about to head to their usual game room, a hand rested on Gwen's shoulder. The soft, White hand wasn't very forceful, but it brought immense pressure to Gwen, making her stop.
"Gwen, you can't play games yet. It's time for lunch first." Lissandra's calm and gentle voice came through.
"Okay, Sister Lissandra, hehe." Gwen smiled sheepishly. In her heart, Lissandra still held a lot of authority, and she was just too excited and eager because she hadn't played games with Noah for too long.
"Let's go, Lissandra, Gwen, let's go eat. Gwen, I'll be very free later, and I'll play with you to your heart's content."
"Mmm!"
--- Noah's Family Lunch ---
After lunch, Noah kept his promise and played games with Gwen for a while.
"Noah, I've been seeing you on TV a lot lately. You're so famous now." Gwen mentioned Noah's popularity during their game.
"Oh, really?" Noah asked casually. He knew that after the Abomination incident, it was a foregone conclusion that he would become famous throughout the World, after all, this was the first time someone had fully demonstrated such World-transcending technology to the World.
"Yeah! They all call you a Super Hero!"
