In an instant, he knew who it was. His face began to contort into a frenzied laugh, his eyes flashing with an extreme cold light, and he roared in an unnatural, manic manner. There was no need to guess; there were only a few people in the room, and he couldn't possibly have harmed his father, so he was immediately ruled out.

So, that leaves the problematic stepmother. If I remember correctly, she initially wanted to kick me out of the house, even resorting to seduction, but it didn't work. In the end, she accidentally killed the old man, my father.

The penguin never expected them to be so ruthless. Not only was he not well received in his new home, but he also had to endure their harsh words, ridicule, and mockery of his past, as well as their disdainful and contemptuous looks.

They tried to provoke the penguin into turning him back into the madman he once was, so that his father would see his true self and kick him out. But the penguin understood their purpose, so he had no complaints and even endured it.

He endured the humiliation and insults from his stepmother's family, but when they couldn't get the penguin to reveal his true colors, they intensified their efforts and tried to poison him, but ended up killing the old man instead.

After the old man's funeral, the stepmother's family wanted to kick Penguin out, but Penguin begged to stay. The stepmother reluctantly took him in, making him do endless dirty chores and heavy work every day. It was ironic that Penguin, who was a young master and heir to the family fortune, was doing the work of a servant.

Nevertheless, Penguin still cherishes this hard-won life and peace, and... the love his father once gave him, and those sweet memories still remain in this home. He silently endures it all and adapts to everything. He believes his father's death was an accident, a sudden heart attack.

From then on, he not only took over all the housework but also the cooking. Once, he painstakingly prepared a table full of top-notch dishes, trying to please his siblings with the food. However, he was met with ridicule for making the food taste terrible. The penguin silently endured it, believing that the difficulties and suffering he was experiencing were repayment for the sins he had committed in the past, laying the foundation for those he had harmed, and that he would start anew...

In the peaceful and honest city of Gotham, talented people emerge from the asylum. After receiving a psychiatric treatment from Dr. Hugo in the asylum, Penguin completely regained his composure and was even awarded a graduation certificate and a "good guy" card. When he returned to his mother's grave to pay his respects, he accidentally bumped into his biological father, which led to the later incident with his stepmother...

However, the most heartbreaking thing for Penguin still happened. No one expected that his father would die. His father's death made him cry bitterly and heartbroken, just like his mother's death had made him. In a short period of time, he experienced his parents dying twice, once before his eyes and once in his arms. He was tormented.

When he discovers the truth about his father's death, it seems to be the last straw that breaks the camel's back. The Penguin can no longer suppress his loneliness and sorrow, and completely unleashes the nature that he has been suppressing in his heart. He roars angrily to the sky and laughs madly with his eyes wide open. That familiar laughter, that familiar state, that familiar look, our King of Gotham... is back in force!

The penguin quietly prepared a feast and invited his stepmother's family, along with his own brothers and sisters, to the banquet. Unpredictably, he attacked them without warning, ignoring their pleas and fear. The penguin cruelly killed them and turned them into food for his stepmother to enjoy.

From this point on, the kind Penguin, the future philanthropist, will be gone forever, replaced by an incomparably evil King of Gotham.

If there's anything Penguin cares about most, it's undoubtedly his family.

Ye Ritian's words can be said to have grasped the Penguin's lifeline, bringing him back to life. Day and night, the Penguin secretly sheds tears behind his back, missing his father and mother. He also longs for someone to love him, someone to care for him, and someone to cherish him.

This gangster boss was cruelly driven down this path by fate, a path from which there is no turning back. The truth of reality is inhuman and cold-blooded; in this merciless world, someone who was once kind could end up in such a miserable state.

Of course, on the other hand, after Penguin Man turned evil, he was truly no longer a good person. He killed countless people and indirectly harmed countless others, but Ye Ritian didn't care. Who wasn't a good person before they turned bad? As for turning bad and doing evil, that was only natural.

Penguin is an inspiring villain whose path to depravity is heartbreaking. He is a pitiful person, and Ye Ritian admires him. He is neither a superhero nor someone who hates evil. Ye Ritian pities his experiences and growth.

Overwhelmed with compassion, Ye Ritian exclaimed, "I can resurrect your parents!"

These words were like a bombshell, almost knocking the penguin unconscious.

The penguin took a deep breath, staring blankly at the countless people lying at his feet, marveling at this bizarre method. He then looked at Ye Ritian and trembled, asking, "You... are you really confident that you can let me see my parents again?"

It sounds outrageous and unbelievable, but what is happening before our eyes is undoubtedly a huge shock to Penguin's worldview. Ye Ritian is too mysterious. Even after talking for so long, he only knows that Ye Ritian is an ordinary person of unknown origin who possesses unknown means that ordinary people do not have.

Ye Ritian calmly replied, "Yes, I'm confident!"

Ye Ritian hesitated about what to do with Portland. Should he hand Portland over to the Penguins to take care of, or throw him out to roam free? After all, Portland was his enemy, and sparing his life was already a great favor.

Let him live out the rest of his life comfortably, becoming a god and a superman by basking in the sun and getting stronger. That won't do. How can we let him have his way? Unlike Red Skull, this one wants to devour me.

Upon receiving Ye Ritian's affirmative answer, the penguin was both excited and apprehensive. His joyful expression instantly turned serious as he looked at Ye Ritian with a grave expression and hesitated, "Why...why are you helping me? What price do I need to pay?"

He found it hard to believe that the person in front of him would resurrect his relatives for no reason. They were not related and had never met before. Ye Ritian's mysterious claim that he could resurrect people made Penguin Man truly believe it, but what was the price? Wouldn't he have to sacrifice something? This was something he absolutely could not believe.

He had long understood that, apart from his parents, no one else in the world would ever offer him a free lunch.

If he doesn't pay a price, he'll think Ye Ritian is playing a trick on him, that it's a conspiracy.

Ye Ritian calmly said, "I'm helping you only because of my personal reasons. I sympathize with your situation. I know everything you've been through, and I'm willing to help you a little bit from my personal perspective. I don't need you to pay any price!"

This is a pitiful villain whose character and background are very close to those of people from the lower class. This resonated deeply with Ye Ritian, who also came from the lower class.

Pity yourself? The penguin was shocked. How could you know all about my past? Are you a god?

He moved to stand in front of Ye Ritian, and said very solemnly and earnestly, "If you can revive them, I will become your most loyal servant, and all my assets and the power I have built will belong to you."

This is his attitude: regardless of whether the other party wants it or not, he has to make an effort. Moreover... he still doesn't believe in free lunches and thinks this is an open strategy, not a conspiracy.

Penguin's assets are both large and small. In addition, he controls the Cobblepot family, one of the four major families in Gotham City. His assets should be in the tens of billions of dollars, which is an astronomical figure. However, Ye Ritian doesn't care about them.

In the DC universe, the Penguin is sometimes described as someone even smarter than Batman. The Penguin's abilities are not to be underestimated; his superior interpersonal skills and ruthless methods would make him a Kingpin-level mob boss in the Marvel universe.

Ye Ritian shook his head and said softly, "I don't need your wealth and power. They are nothing but dirt to me. If you really can't let go of them, then help me take care of an infant. I will hand it over to you after I resurrect your parents."

After much hesitation, Ye Ritian gave up and decided to leave Portland to the Penguins. He figured it was all the same whether they let it roam free or abandoned it, so why bother with all that? He might as well just let it go.

Treating money like dirt? No wonder he's a mysterious ordinary person. The Penguin was dumbfounded. A… baby? Could this be his illegitimate child whom he abandoned after starting a relationship?

Sensing the penguin's seemingly malicious gaze, Ye Ritian glanced at him. That one glance startled the penguin, who quickly came to his senses and said in a panic, "Okay, okay, I'll raise it for you. I'll take you to my parents' graves."

Watching the Penguin flee the door in a panic, a truly bizarre sight, Ye Ritian couldn't help but laugh: "Is this the fearsome King of Gotham? One day he's actually raising someone's baby... Tsk tsk tsk, to earn money for his child's milk powder, this mob boss took over a Las Vegas casino with blood and tears, and will never have to worry about money again!"

……

A cemetery in Gotham City.

This is the land belonging to the Cobblepot family, and it is also the burial place of his father, Elijah Fandall Cobblepot.

His mother is also buried here, a little distance from his father's grave.

At this moment, Penguin arrived here in a private car with Ye Ritian, without any of his underlings.

To reassure the penguin that he wouldn't play a trick on him, Ye Ritian deliberately changed into a silver Superman suit and donned a red floating cape right under the penguin's nose.

This scene completely terrified the naturally suspicious Penguin. Holy crap, a transformation from a distance! That strong body and explosively powerful muscles, those flawless features and demeanor—are you a god descended from heaven?! It's confirmed.

With a mix of trepidation and excitement, the penguin danced with joy, as if in a dream. He then led Ye Ritian to his parents' graves.

"They...are right here!" The penguin looked at Ye Ritian with reverence, his voice trembling. He pointed to the location of his parents' graves.

The penguin was filled with anticipation and joy at the prospect of seeing his parents, yet he was also afraid that it was all a dream, a fantasy, and that the unknown miracle might happen. What if... Ye Ritian didn't have the means to resurrect people? That would be so contrary to science.

The penguin shook his head frantically, muttering to himself, "No, he can definitely resurrect his parents. He won't lie to me; he's a god!"

As he spoke, he was about to walk over and prepare to dig up the grave with his bare hands to unearth his parents' coffins. He had come in such a hurry that he hadn't brought anyone with him, and what's worse, he hadn't brought any tools either. This was terrible. He couldn't very well let the real god dig up the grave, could he? The penguin imagined to himself.

Suddenly, a voice came.

"No need for that, I'll do it!"

The penguin stopped, but instead of turning around, he turned to look at Ye Ritian and exclaimed in shock, "Does the True God also want to dig with me? You know that digging with two people is faster, right?"

So this is what a true god is like, so down-to-earth and understanding of human suffering. Not only were you willing to help me resurrect my parents, but you were also willing to dig graves with me. You are truly a good god. I, a penguin, am the first person to admire you. I am starting to believe that you genuinely sympathize with my plight, which is why you helped me.

boom!

"Stop thinking nonsense all day long. You want me to dig up your grave, and both of us? Are you kidding me? Do you want me to inherit my abilities?" Ye Ritian was both amused and exasperated.

A sharp crack echoed as a finger struck the penguin on the head. The penguin cried out in pain, staring in terror at the culprit, Ye Ritian. Ye Ritian's hand, which had stretched out like rubber in front of him, had deliberately flicked the penguin's forehead before retracting...

The penguin was stunned, unable to recover for a long time: "Is this really something a normal person can do? He stretched out an arm more than ten meters long to hit me."

"It's definitely a god. He can resurrect people, extend his arms, and change his clothes all the time. What else could he be but a god? Only a god could accomplish such a heaven-defying feat. But why does he have an infinity symbol on his chest? And why does he look so familiar? Like someone from a comic book company in Gotham City, from a comic book storyline about Kal'El from Krypton..." The Penguin's thoughts were racing. He felt like he had seen this god-like yet not-so-godlike true god somewhere before.

"Oh right, right, I'm not a normal person!"

Ye Ritian approached the penguin and, upon hearing his words, retorted.

"You stand aside, I'll do it myself."

Ignoring that idiot, Ye Ritian looked at the two graves the penguin pointed to, gently raised his hand, activated his telekinesis, and remotely lifted the soil, creating a rectangular space on both sides of the ground. Layer after layer of soil was separated and extracted, continuously spreading deeper and deeper.

Penguin's mind went completely blank: "W-w-w..."

This is a miracle!

Chapter 211 The New Generation of Gods Among Mortals: Portland

Soon, the two coffins were lifted up by an invisible force and gently placed on the ground. The coffin lids opened automatically, revealing two corpses inside. The skeletons lay there, only white bones remained, and the stench of decay and putrefaction became increasingly intense.

However, the penguin seemed oblivious, a sorrowful expression on his face. In an instant, tears welled in his eyes, showing no disgust at the unpleasant smell of his parents. Instead, he lay on their coffins, wailing, "Father, Mother..."

Seeing their parents' remains is like seeing them in their youth. Scenes of them when they were still alive come to mind, and feelings of love and warmth well up. The sorrow is overwhelming and flows through the hearts of the penguins.

Before the important business was finished, Ye Ritian had to speak up: "Now is not the time to be sad. You will see them soon. Please step back."

Upon hearing this, the penguin looked at them with reluctance, wiped away his tears, got up and stepped back, watching with anticipation as they came back to life, for he would witness one of the world's greatest miracles.

Seeing the penguin retreat, Ye Ritian channeled his inner power and flicked his finger. A beam of light from the power of the horse talisman shot out from his fingertip. Under the watchful eyes of the two, the light split in two and landed on the two skeletons respectively.

Swish!

In an instant, the corpses emitted endless colorful light, enveloping the two bodies. The dazzling light was so bright and beautiful that the penguin could hardly look at it and had to cover his eyes with his hands and close them.

Only Ye Ritian was unharmed. He stared directly at the light, and in that instant, a beating red heart appeared out of thin air on the skeletons inside the two coffins.

Then, various flesh cells and nerves proliferated, human tissues intertwined, and new tender flesh and skin grew from the genetic body. Soon, the dazzling starlight dissipated, and two normal people with complete human forms appeared in front of Ye Ritian.

However, two naked people lay in the coffin, and instantly two comfortable and proper clothes were put on them. They were the same age they were when they died, so their age was fixed at the moment of their death. If they were killed again, they would still die.

Upon seeing this, the penguin was overjoyed. He rushed to the coffin, bent down beside Ilya, and whispered, "Daddy!"

The penguin called out cautiously, afraid of disturbing his quiet mother who was sleeping peacefully beside him. He couldn't wait to witness a loved one truly wake up and to feel the deep love from his parents.

Hearing the calls of outsiders, or perhaps the intimate scent of his own flesh and blood, Ilya, who should have died but was now asleep, slowly opened his eyes.

Upon seeing the penguin man in front of him, Ilya instinctively called out his name: "Wald?"

His voice sounded slightly hoarse and low, probably because he hadn't spoken for too long and had been lying down for too long. Fortunately, all his organs were gradually recovering.

"Dad, it's me. That's great, you're awake!" Hearing his father's familiar voice, Penguin responded excitedly. He then looked at Ye Ritian not far away. His father, whom he had been longing for, had really come back to life. He really hadn't lied to him; he really could bring the dead back to life and heal the wounded.

"What am I?" Ilya quickly realized something was wrong. He was lying in a coffin, and his heart disease was gone. Except for not regaining his youthful appearance, his health was perfect.

This left him somewhat stunned and shocked. He woke up to find himself in a coffin. Could it be that he had gotten drunk last night and climbed in by himself?

Wait, what exactly is going on here?

Ilya snapped out of his daze, carefully considering his memories. He then sat up, his face full of surprise, looked up at the Penguin, and exclaimed, "Child, I remember I died! Can you tell me what happened?"
