A long time later, the sound of Water ceased.
In the room lit by green fluorescent light.
The green-haired girl lifted her small head, proudly revealing her delicate, fair chin.
She licked her moist, glistening lips, looking down at Xi Nian beneath her: "For the past day or two, because I was weak and ill, you didn't actually start treating me like a younger sister who needed protection, did you, Big Brother?"
"Nothing of the sort," Xi Nian swallowed, a gurgle in his throat.
Lorna's lips curved into a wild smile, filled with possessiveness, and she He declared loudly and domineeringly: "I just want to tell you, you will always be my little brother; don't even think about becoming the boss!"
"I don't care about other times. As long as I'm here, your eyes are only allowed to see me!"
As her words fell, Lorna lowered her lips once more!
Xi Nian was no longer able to think much; currently, he still possessed Invisible Woman Susan's abilities—invisibility, protective energy, and force fields!
At this moment, he once again activated Lord of the Retinue, acquiring the extraordinary ability Lorna possessed—
Magnetic Control!
Both of these abilities, taken individually, have extremely high upper limits and are usually difficult to integrate with other extraordinary abilities; aside from the versatile Super Spider's extraordinary physique, stacking other abilities often leads to an unbalanced loss of control.
However, Susan's ability and Lorna's ability are both primarily in the control domain, and both even have transcendent manifestations that can influence force fields. These two abilities were unexpectedly compatible in terms of their affinity!
And so.
These two primary non-physical extraordinary control abilities, at this moment, experienced an unprecedented convergence, fusion, and sublimation within Xi Nian's body!
Green fluorescent light immediately flowed out from Xi Nian, merging with the fluorescent light emanating from Lorna, who was sitting on his lower abdomen. Then, as a faint blue energy glow appeared in Xi Nian's eyes, it was as if a solar storm flowed down from the outer Universe, transforming the green fluorescent light on him into a higher form of energy!
Fluorescent green turned to deep blue!
Xi Nian's eyes, and even his hair, rapidly began to be dyed blue by the strange, fused energy!
Whoosh!
Xi Nian's mere presence interfered with the physical laws of the entire apartment, causing all items inside the house to float! Defying gravity, it was as if this apartment was in space outside of Earth!
If, when only possessing Susan's abilities, Xi Nian could only control protective energy and force fields.
When only possessing Lorna's abilities, Xi Nian could only manipulate metal objects with Magnetic Control.
Now, he could control all tangible objects around him, easily create and manipulate energy, truly subvert force fields, and was a veritable destroyer of physical laws!
Xi Nian, with a layer of blue energy shield on his skin and flowing blue short hair, floated up from the bed. He embraced the green-haired girl, pressing her into his arms and continuing to lightly taste the syrup-like medium.
"Little brother, you've been strengthened. Let's leave here." Without giving him a chance to become the boss, Lorna patted Xi Nian's shoulder and pouted, saying in a commanding tone.
"Alright, Boss."
Xi Nian smiled slightly. He held the light green-haired girl in a bridal carry, floating out of the room. His blue eyes glanced at the schoolbag on the sofa, and the schoolbag immediately flew towards him on its own, falling into the arms of the green-haired girl in front of him.
"Meow?" Inside the schoolbag, Little Emperor, perched on a glass jar, opened its eyes.
"We should leave here." Xi Nian, holding Lorna, flew low through the living room. The balcony window automatically opened, allowing the two to fly directly out of the apartment, and at the same time, the lamp in the room switched off!
Outside on the street.
"What was that just now?"
The uncle walking his dog at night had a ghost-seeing expression. He seemed to have just seen a pair of a man and a woman flying out of the balcony window of the adjacent apartment, but in a blink of an eye, they completely disappeared—
As if invisible... In the bustling downtown area of Los Angeles, dazzling LED lights shone everywhere, and skyscrapers soared into the night sky, standing in dense rows.
Even though it was already past midnight, the streets and alleys were still bustling with people, lively and vibrant.
At this moment, an extraordinary battle was unfolding in the most valuable area of this sleepless city!
Whoosh!!
Under the exclamations and horrified gazes of countless onlookers, a missile was chasing a humanoid flame—from the appearance and body outline covered in raging Fire, one could barely make out that it was a young, handsome, short-haired youth who somewhat resembled Captain America!
"Fuck! That bastard Victor, he's really going for the kill! And I used to think he had a slight chance of becoming my brother-in-law!" Johnny, who had transformed into Pyro and was flying at high speed, cursed. Seeing that he couldn't shake off the infrared-tracking missile after several turns, he simply flew towards the city's seaside on a pedestrian street.
Soon, a burning cargo ship exploded, and the humanoid flame was extinguished in the dark seawater.
On the other side, where the missile was launched.
The top-floor French window of the commercial building shattered, and two intertwined, strange bodies fell, crashing directly into a transport truck a hundred meters below!
Rumble!!
Accompanied by a burst of flashing electricity inside the back compartment of the transport truck, Thing was blasted out along with the truck's back door, flying heavily into another vehicle twenty to thirty meters away!
Thud!!
From inside the back compartment of the transport truck, a Shadow figure emerged.
His tall, slender body was draped in a black hooded cloak, and his body and face were covered by a steel shell. Intense, terrifying plasma and lightning crackled from him, as if he were a being that combined super black technology with extraordinary powers!
He was the fifth person to be exposed to the cosmic storm, besides the Fantastic Four, and also the president of the tech company that invested in the previous outer space research mission—
Victor Von Doom!
...Victor only had a pair of eyes filled with hatred and indifference, exposed beyond his cold, gleaming metal mask. As his hands, also covered in silver metal gloves, lifted, bolts of lightning intertwined and raged outwards, quickly destroying surrounding streetlights, cars, trees, and so on, causing pedestrians in the nearby city area to flee in panic!
Like the embodiment of destruction.
Clearly, the strength of the extraordinary power he obtained was far greater than that of any member of the Fantastic Four!
Victor coldly watched Thing dozens of meters away, raising his right hand, and immediately a bolt of lightning as thick as a wrist struck straight towards him!
A graceful figure in a Fantastic uniform blocked in front of Thing. Susan, who had arrived at the scene just in time, raised her left arm, and protective energy formed a shield in front of her, blocking the extremely destructive lightning outside the energy shield!
The strong wind made her golden hair constantly fly backward. Susan gritted her teeth and held on, but in less than two seconds, she felt like she couldn't hold on any longer!
A cold light flashed in Victor's eyes, and he raised his other hand, and immediately another dazzling bolt of lightning struck down!
"Get out of the way, Susan!" Thing shouted from behind.
Knowing that she couldn't possibly withstand this blow, Susan also wanted to dodge, but she quickly widened her beautiful blue eyes in surprise again.
It was then.
The energy shield in front of her expanded and layered at a visible speed!
A massive energy flow rapidly constructed a blue protective shield, as if condensing into a truly solid defensive shield, more than three times larger than the energy shield Susan had previously constructed, and forming three layers of energy structure, completely protecting her tall and intellectual body within!
Sizzle!!
Two intertwined bolts of lightning plasma struck the energy shield, unable to shake it in the slightest, while the stray electrical sparks alone were enough to shatter the floor!!!
