I'm in an American comic book, and all my teammates are main characters and bosses.

Chapter 102: Kissing is forbidden in mental hospitals!

Upon hearing Atreus's words, Kratos's expression turned complicated, but he then nodded and said, "Alright."

Hearing that her father was willing to respect her wishes, Atreus cheered with joy, even though she didn't know what the system was or what kind of tasks she would have to perform in the future.

Under Ron's guidance, Kratos purchased the necessary permissions and then assigned the Level 3 system to Atreus, making him Kratos's subordinate. As the system loaded, it wasn't long before Atreus's eyes were filled with astonishment.

He looked at Ron, pointing to his own eyes with disbelief on his face.

"Is this why Dad...why did he come here?"

"That's how it was supposed to be, but something unexpected happened, and we ended up in a worse world," Ron said. "There, your dad saved a world and killed a god. Then we all went to find you."

After a brief explanation, Atreus, though not fully understanding, more or less realized why his father had suddenly disappeared and then suddenly returned.

After thinking for a moment, Atreus asked, "Was that god very powerful?"

"Extremely strong, so strong that even if a hundred of you attacked together, you would all be turned to ashes with just a glare from the opponent."

Ron said, "Luckily, your dad's ability to explode with anger hasn't waned yet, otherwise the outcome would have been hard to predict."

Rage is Kratos's source of power. And after his fate in Greece ended, Kratos has been constantly fighting against destiny, and continuously trying to control his anger—especially after meeting Laufey.

In a sense, Ron should thank Baldr. Without Baldr's visit, Kratos wouldn't have been driven into a rage once again. Even after sufficient warm-up before fighting the mutated Superman, it wouldn't have been easy for him to unleash his full fury.

Kratos' power would be greatly diminished if he lost his anger, or even if he controlled his anger.

Of course, this isn't absolute. The main reason is that Kratos tries to control his anger but can't completely control it, which leads to a weakening of his power. If he could truly control his anger perfectly, then Kratos's power would truly leap forward.

Back in the base world, although Kratos hadn't been there for very long, Ron could clearly sense that Kratos suddenly relaxed.

"Don't forget to clean the room; it used to be a hospital ward."

"OK!"

Atreus nodded quickly, and then followed Kratos to his room.

Just as Atreus was about to enter, he noticed the message on the wall and a hint of curiosity appeared in his eyes. He then waved to Ron from afar and said:

"Uncle Ron."

"What's wrong?"

"What are these on the wall...?"

"The local specialties of your world are mostly things that your father once owned or saw."

"I know that, it's mentioned in the system's user manual." Atreus nodded, then said with some confusion, "It's just... I just want to know, about the stockings and stuff on these..."

"Shh, don't ask any questions." Ron covered Atreus's mouth. "Everyone has their youthful folly..."

"Don't slander me."

Hearing Ron's words, Kratos shook his head helplessly: "I've never heard of these things before, I guess I just saw them by accident..."

"That Aphrodite..."

"Shut up."

"Okay~"

Ron shrugged, then patted Atreus on the head and said, "Enjoy this new world. I have other things to take care of."

With that, Ron turned and left.

It wasn't just a random excuse to leave; as the team grew, Ron's workload and workload also increased.

Ron's Infinity City frequently conducts destructive experiments—primarily concerning the application of Frost. While the majority of the Flashpoint universe awaits its reincarnation, Victor, the Cryo-Cryo Arcane Scholar, recruited him as early as when Ron first arrived in Gotham.

To facilitate his research, Ron designated a large area within Infinite City for Victor to conduct his experiments.

The destructive power of the white frost is undeniable. In addition, Victor's low-temperature generator is currently facing many problems. In order to prevent accidents, Ron temporarily transferred Thomas from the Infinite City to the base universe.

On his way to Thomas's room, as he passed the courtyard gate, Ron noticed something and paused for a moment. He then hesitated and took a few steps back, only to see Ciri leaning against a pillar in the corridor, blankly chewing on a banana.

Meanwhile, in the courtyard, Geralt was making a heartfelt confession to Yennefer.

Seeing the lovey-dovey scene between White Wolf and Coconut Milk, Ron's face showed disgust. He moved closer to Ciri, pointed at the two in the mental hospital with a look of utter disgust, and asked:

"When did these two get together?"

"When you go to Northern Europe."

Ciri took a bite of her banana and said, "Ever since Yennefer arrived, those two have been living a blissful life just the two of them. I'm like an adopted child, just an inconvenient bystander in their world every day..."

"You were indeed found, or more accurately, you were born out of wedlock."

"I know, you don't need to remind me."

Ciri shook her head helplessly, then said, "I'm going to change rooms... Well, with the two of them in one room, I can't even get into a meditative state."

"I understand, I understand."

Nodding, Ron added, "There are plenty of empty rooms, tidy them up yourselves. Also, don't forget to keep an eye on Geralt; his adoptive father is still in his original world. Make sure he gets on more missions so that the lonely old man isn't left alone guarding the empty castle."

"Okay, got it."

Then, Ciri inquired, "Speaking of which, about Mr. Kratos..."

"It's basically resolved, but there might be other issues later," Ron said. "How's your learning from Frigga going? Any insights?"

"I've benefited greatly," Ciri said. "I bought some incense to accelerate meditation from the system shop, and with the Queen's guidance, although I still don't have much confidence in traversing worlds, I should have no problem escaping from the alternate dimension."

The so-called alternate dimension is a special dimension like Ron's Infinity City. Ciri was able to break free before, but she couldn't determine her location. Now, it's clear that Ciri can accurately enter and exit alternate dimensions without being affected by the opponent's home-field advantage.

"You still need to practice more," Ron said. "I'll give you some access to the Infinite City later. If you can master it, even if you're on a mission in another world, the rest of your team will be able to provide support through the Infinite City."

"Wouldn't this be too much trouble?" Ciri asked hesitantly. "After all, the Infinity Castle is yours..."

"Hey, what do you mean 'yours' and 'mine'? I just picked it up when no one wanted it during our first mission with Wolf." Ron waved his hand:

"It's working fine for now, so I'll just make do with it. I'll see if I can upgrade it later if I have the chance... Well, I'll just use it as is for now. Once I've completed the upgrade, I'll go and explore my own dream world."

Upon hearing this, Ciri's eyes lit up, and she asked, "What about the Infinity Castle then?"

"Convert it into a public toilet."

Ciri: "..."

She had originally hoped to use Ron's discarded item, but now she heard it was going to be converted into a public restroom. Even Ciri fell silent.

"I'll transfer it to you directly if you need it. Of course, a handling fee is inevitable. I really invested a lot to bring this money-losing item out here. It's a second-hand or third-hand item from me, so I'll just charge you 80% of the fee."

Ron said nonchalantly, "But even if the Infinite City comes into your hands, it will only serve as a transition. Once you have a basic grasp of the Ancient Blood, or even if you don't need to fully grasp it, you will be able to travel freely through similar spaces."

"It sounds simple, but just thinking about the related arcane knowledge gives me the creeps..."

As they were chatting, Geralt and Yennefer, caught up in their passion, started kissing passionately. Ron looked on with disgust, pointed at the two of them, and scolded Ciri for their indecent behavior. Then he picked up the banana from Ciri's hand and threw it at her. Before the banana even hit the ground, Ron flashed into the Infinity City and left from the other side.

As Yennefer and Geralt locked eyes and prepared for another French kiss, a banana suddenly fell from the sky and hit Geralt squarely on the forehead.

Silence fell as the infertile couple both turned their gaze toward Ciri.

"?"

Ciri: "..."

Shrugging, Ciri said blankly, "It's Ron."

Geralt: "I believe him, he really is that kind of person."

Yennefer: "Hmm? The Dean's back? Where is he? I was hoping to ask him about mutations!"

Although Ron is quite unreliable, as a sorceress with in-depth knowledge of magic, Yennefer can sense from Geralt and Ciri's descriptions that Ron has a deep understanding of ascension—mutation.

Although she couldn't be sure, Yennefer's intuition told her that if she wanted to have a child with the White Wolf, besides spending precious system coins to buy one in the shop, she also had to ask Ron for advice.

"I'm gone."

Ciri shrugged. "He's a very busy man now... though I'm partly to blame."

Unlike Kratos, who struggled to let go of the past and his anger, Ciri had reconciled with herself at an astonishing speed.

……

There's nothing that can be done about not reconciling, since this matter isn't going to be resolved anytime soon. And with Ciri's current abilities, even if she could offer help, it would only be partial. Now that the fighting is over, and she knows nothing about the structure of the world and the coordination between different universes, Ciri can only silently accept it and wait for a chance to try and help again later.

Speaking of which, the team... the dean seems to value the Ancient Blood very much?

Hmm, I'll ask Frigga later if she has any way to help.

Ron emerged from the other side, still holding half a banana. While eating, he opened the team system to locate the other members of the team in the hospital.

Seeing Geralt's happy life, Ron suddenly remembered that he hadn't contacted the old wolf for a while—mainly to check on the status of the Transmutation.

When Wolf arrived in the base world, he had already been floating on the sea with the Divine Child for some time. Now, after staying in the base universe for several months, although the child in the Divine Child's belly is not an ordinary person, a normal pregnancy lasts ten months. In addition, Wolf exchanged all the system coins he obtained from his missions, except for necessary supplies, for items to support the pregnancy, including strollers and milk powder...

Let me ask anyway.

Having determined the wolf's location, Ron nodded and then re-entered Infinite City. When he came out, he was on the lawn on the other side of the hospital.

Bathed in sunlight, Bianruozi lay on a deckchair on the lawn with a blissful smile. The deckchair swayed gently in the breeze. Meanwhile, even on such a beautiful afternoon, Lang stood guard nearby, his expression unsmiling.

"Can't you change your clothes?" Ron said, somewhat exasperated, as he approached the wolf. "You've been wearing these clothes since the first time I saw you. They must smell terrible by now!"

Upon hearing this, the wolf nodded and quietly said, "I change it every day."

"...You don't just have this one outfit in your closet, do you?"

"Yes."

The wolf didn't feel anything was wrong, and even when Ron stared at his face with a look of disdain, he didn't flinch.

So Ron asked, "How's things going with the Crown Prince?"

"About three more months."

Upon hearing Ron mention the princess, Wolf nodded and said, "I used system coins to purchase some items. If all goes well, the princess will arrive in three months. However..."

"But what?"

"However, I have some concerns." The wolf said with a slight furrow of his brow and a hint of seriousness in his voice:

"The destination of the Imperial Son's Return is to the homeland of the Divine Dragon, to allow the power of the Dragon's Blood to find true rest, thereby severing the curse of immortality. But right now, I'm not sure if it's possible in the Base Universe..."

"You can rest assured about that."

Ron gave a thumbs up and said, "I don't care about anything else, but in the Marvel Universe, you can throw any kind of crap in there, no problem."

"……OK."

Having received Ron's assurance, Wolf breathed a sigh of relief. As for the nonsensical remarks, he had become habitually immune to them.
