Luckily, I still made it in time.

"We'll talk about it when we get home."

Diana was over 1.8 meters tall and was wearing a suit of gleaming gold armor, making her look like a golden knight.

She acted swiftly and decisively, grabbing Xinian's legs and lifting him up in a princess carry.

Nestled in the arms of the mature and tall Diana, the middle school student Xinian appeared petite, his silver hair lightly covering his golden armor, like a pair of knights and princesses.

Hmm, it doesn't seem to have any problems.

hope Nian even tugged at her skirt to avoid exposing herself, even though no one saw it.

Diana glanced at the hideous corpse on the ground, then pulled her hand off Xinian's body and pulled out the golden rope from somewhere.

Slamming straight up through the remaining ceiling of the building, Diana and Xinian soared into the sky, their lasso ensnaring something in the night sky. The two of them flew and quickly disappeared into the night.

"Oh, right." High in the air, with his arms wrapped around his aunt's slender neck, Xinian seemed to remember something.

"What?" Diana asked, using the Lasso of Truth to carry him high in the air, soaring over city buildings.

"Hmm...it's alright." Xinian turned around, and out of the corner of her eye, she suddenly saw a small, graceful figure flitting between the tall buildings in a city area below. She shook her head and said.

……

At this time, the flames and smoke had not yet dissipated in the urban area.

"Is it over?"

Staring at the massive, decapitated corpse of the Abomination in the distance, the American soldier remained lost in thought for a long time until his communicator crackled to life: "Support troops are on their way. Survivors, please report the situation!"

"Situation? The target is dead, does that count as a situation?"

The American soldiers felt like they were dreaming. The monster that had so easily slaughtered their entire unit had finally been beheaded.

He briefly reported the situation to the communicator, but he knew that the subsequent verbal and written reports after returning to the base would be terrifyingly long!

but.

Being alive after tonight is already a blessing from God, so what is there to complain about?

The American soldier looked back into the room and was stunned.

The sofa in the living room was empty; the Spider-Woman who had been lying unconscious on it was nowhere to be seen.

Nobody noticed.

On the edge of the city area that served as the battlefield, a slightly smaller green figure, similar to the Abomination, lurked in the shadow of a building.

Sensing the disappearance of the abomination's life force, the green giant gazed at a corner of the night sky, a mixture of curiosity and wariness in its eyes. Finally, its body vanished into the darkness behind it, as if it had never been there at all.

The city is rife with undercurrents, and what is happening here, including some detailed video footage, will be transmitted to the other side of the world in just half an hour.

Regardless.

This extraordinary battle has come to an end tonight, and its subsequent impact will undoubtedly be far-reaching!

Chapter 15, To the Beauty Bestowed by the Gods

tread!

Wearing a suit of golden armor, Diana, carrying Shinian, landed lightly and accurately on her balcony from a hundred meters in the night sky. Because the balcony's French windows had already been smashed, Diana took a few more steps forward and entered a messy and dark living room.

Diana casually tossed the golden lasso back onto the living room ceiling, its shimmering light providing temporary illumination. Bathed in its golden glow, her tall figure and the golden armor she wore were dazzling.

What's with your outfit?

Xinian couldn't help but take a second look, feeling that the current attire was noble and aloof, undoubtedly resembling the goddess described in ancient Greek mythology.

Diana glanced at Xinian calmly and said bluntly, "You took my usual battle suit, so I have to wear the Golden Eagle Armor that I have at home as a spare."

Yes, that makes perfect sense.

Xi Nian's mind went blank for a moment before he realized that he was still dressed as a woman, and all the clothes he was wearing were intimate apparel.

This was really embarrassing! And I was caught red-handed!

"How do you feel?" Diana looked Xinian up and down with a meaningful gaze, asking with a half-smile.

"What do you mean, how?" Xinian pretended not to understand, and while tugging at her short skirt, she called out in a slightly flustered manner, "Auntie, put me down quickly!"

Just as Diana put Xinian down from her arms, Xinian suddenly stiffened, feeling as if his body had been instantly emptied out. His silver hair, which had been draped over his shoulders, began to shrink back to its original length, and the silver strands faded back to black.

The silver divine eyes trembled slightly, then instantly returned to the dark brown of an ordinary human.

The extraordinary, like a tide, stripped away from Xinian.

Also leaving were the weapons and armor he wore: the antique longsword, the dark gold round shield, the silver bracelet, the noble crown, and the dress armor he wore, all of which were automatically detached from Xinian's body and strung together and hung up one by one by the golden ropes above.

hope Nian subconsciously glanced at the clock in the living room; it was almost 11 p.m.

"The familiar's ability has failed, for about four hours now?" He exhaled softly, glancing down at his clothes. He had reverted to the long shirt and casual pants he had been wearing earlier, but now they were soaked with sweat.

It felt as if everything that happened tonight was just a dream.

However, looking up at the armored figure standing beside him, and the golden light emanating from the golden rope above, confirmed that everything had truly happened, just now!

Diana, clad in her golden eagle armor, and Xinian, now back to an ordinary person, exchanged a glance before quickly averting their gazes.

Too many unexpected events happened tonight, and these events also revealed the secrets that we had been hiding.

So, caught between guilt, worry, fear, and embarrassment, Diana and Shinian were at a loss for words, and the living room fell into a tense and silent atmosphere.

"you."

Diana was about to say something.

Just then, hope Nian waved his hand, as if finding an excuse, and ran towards the bathroom as if escaping: "Um, I'm very dirty, I'm going to take a shower first!"

Diana was left standing alone in the living room, the bright moonlight streaming in through the window, making her appear somewhat lonely.

Plop!

He closed the bathroom door tightly, leaned against the door after a long time, and breathed a sigh of relief.

If you suddenly find out that your only relative is not human, most people probably wouldn't be able to handle it.

Perhaps because he was a reincarnated being, hope Nian didn't find it particularly strange. Even though he wasn't human, this understanding in his heart had never wavered.

However, perhaps because he was seen in women's clothing, because he had done something wrong, and because of other reasons such as concealing something, Xinian suddenly didn't know how to face Diana.

Therefore, Xinian chose to escape, temporarily.

After all, he was just a child.

hope Nian comforted himself with this so-called reason, took off all his dirty and wet clothes, turned on the hot water tap in the bathtub in the bathroom, and almost collapsed into the fairly spacious bathtub.

Although the extraordinary power had completely left his body, the residual energy from the battle with the abomination, as well as the fatigue and wear and tear accumulated in his body, still remained.

As the scalding hot water was poured into the bathtub, the steam filled the spacious bathroom. Xinian, soaking in the hot water, exhaled a breath of stale air, and the tension that had been gripping her heart finally eased.

He picked up a damp towel, placed it on his throbbing forehead, closed his eyes, and lay back in the bathtub.

Just as Xinian was clearing his mind, there was a knock on the bathroom door.

"You can leave your clothes outside the door." hope Nian lay motionless in the bathtub without opening her eyes.

There was no sound coming from behind the bathroom door, but the next moment, the door suddenly clicked open!

“No need to bring it in,” hope Nian said, glancing towards the door. What he saw there completely stunned him.

The one who opened the door and entered the bathroom was naturally my aunt.

But, but!

She was no longer wearing the Golden Eagle Armor; one hand held her loose, beautiful hair, while her right hand gently grasped a white bath towel.

The bath towel draped down from her chest to her legs, covering something, yet seemingly covering nothing at all.

In the hazy, misty water vapor.

In that instant, Xinian suddenly remembered a legend.

In Greek mythology, Athena was blessed by the gods with all the best things—beauty, strength, wisdom, and honesty!

The beauty that exists before us can perhaps only be bestowed and sculpted by the legendary gods.

Despite having seen it countless times, Xinian was still stunned for a moment. When he came to his senses, he quickly covered his crotch with the towel on his forehead.

“What’s so interesting about growing up?” Diana wasn’t sure if she was talking about herself or Xinian. She closed the door again and walked barefoot into the bathroom.

"You... how did you get in?" hope Nian stammered.

Diana did not answer, but walked gracefully to the front of the bathtub and said softly, "Turn around and make some room."

"Okay, okay!" Almost instinctively, Xinian hugged his legs and turned to sit in a corner of the bathtub.

Before he could even understand the current situation.

With a splash, the water in the bathtub, which was already full, overflowed to a depth of half a person.

Chapter 16, Mythology, Family Affairs

The bathroom was filled with steam and so quiet that you could hear the tiny sound of water droplets falling from the faucet onto the water's surface.

So, our bathtub is actually this small?

hope Nian couldn't help but have this thought, feeling that his limbs couldn't stretch out in the bathtub.

Diana chuckled from outside, "You've really grown up. Looks like I'll have to get you a bigger bathtub."

hope Nian realized that he seemed to be underestimated again and couldn't help but mutter, "Don't always treat me like a child. I'm sixteen years old now. According to Washington State law, I'm already of legal marriage age."

“Yes, it’s been sixteen years already. Time flies so fast,” Diana said softly.

hope Nian fell silent, trying his best to clear his mind.

Diana recalled, "I suddenly remembered my childhood, my mentor, who was also my aunt."

"master?"

When Xinian first heard Diana recount her childhood, his eyes widened in surprise.

"Yes, my master, she and my mother live in a place called Paradise Island."
