……

I must say, the results of my nightly practice finally came to fruition tonight.

Now that Xinian is more than when he was a semi-divine being, he has a firm grasp on the skills of using power and divine strength. Although his hair still turns silver-white, he no longer loses control and accidentally destroys things around him.

of course.

Xinian's application of divine power still doesn't reach the same level of skill as his aunt, who can use it at will, such as using it to create exquisite illusions or become invisible.

There is.

hope Nian discovered that since the battle with the forces of Apocalypse, the Lasso of Truth, which was his aunt Diana's personal artifact and which he now held in his hand, had been activated and awakened by him in his super-divine mode at the time, becoming more spiritual and powerful.

This is why Xinian chose to bring it with him.

Artifact: Lasso of Truth.

Although it cannot compare to the Guardian Silver Bracelet, the Sword of Vulcan, etc. in terms of combat, it is unmatched by other divine artifacts in terms of practicality and functionality!

……

Less than ten minutes.

hope Nian arrived at a large car wash in Queens, New York, which was the detailed address indicated in the text message he received.

Noticing a large number of gangsters moving around inside and outside the car wash, and seemingly some signs of arguing and quarreling, hope Nian did not choose to enter through the main entrance of the car wash. Instead, he put away the Lasso of Truth in his hand and quietly landed on the rooftop of an empty building in the car wash from the night sky.

"Guanluo, help me find someone, see where she is," Xinian said in a low voice.

"Characteristics?" A thought immediately arose in hope Nian's mind.

“Green hair, a young girl, should be easy to recognize,” hope Nian continued.

Immediately.

Starting with the schoolbag that Xinian was carrying, an invisible spiritual force spread outwards, enveloping and permeating the entire car wash area.

The jar is incredibly useful in some ways.

So, a few days ago, when Batman parted ways with Garrosh, he showed reluctance for the first time.

“Found her. She’s alone on the left side of the building, on the third floor, in the last room.” Guan Luo responded quickly, then added, “Wait a minute, she noticed me! And something’s not right with her…”

call out--

While listening to Guan Luo's thoughts, Xinian moved with incredible speed to the left side of the building. Like a black and silver lightning bolt, he nimbly flipped from the roof to the window of the room Guan Luo had mentioned. None of the gangsters patrolling below noticed his presence.

The windows of the target room were tightly closed.

Worried that breaking the window and entering would disturb others, Xinian quickly reached into his backpack and pulled out a small orange cat.

As if understanding his meaning, Xiao Huang opened its mouth, and several ferocious tentacles with small teeth stretched out, swallowing the entire window in one gulp with only a slight clicking sound, allowing hope Nian to easily climb into the pitch-black room.

The entire set of movements was fluid and graceful, as if it had been rehearsed countless times.

Guan Luo suddenly realized that the young man had great potential and talent in a certain area!

The room was about 30 square meters in size, and the lights were off. A petite girl was lying on the bed next to it.

In the darkness, they sensed someone had broken into the room.

The girl didn't get out of bed immediately. Instead, she barely raised her finger, and a fruit knife flew out from under the bed on its own, the blade stabbing fiercely towards Xinian's crotch!

With lightning-fast reflexes, Xi Nian slapped down with both hands, barely managing to catch the blade of the fruit knife. Startled, he quickly exclaimed, "Boss Polaris, it's me!"

"Why...didn't you use the front door...you idiot..." Lorna, lying on the bed, scolded her irritably.

However, even from her words, one could tell that she had little strength; she had to break a sentence into several parts before she could finish it with difficulty.

Before heading this way, there was actually a place that Xinian found strange.

Given Polaris Lorna's assertive nature, if she were to send him a message, the final identifier would likely be "boss," not "stars."

Now, Xinian understood the reason.

Lorna is very weak right now.

He was a hundred times weaker than he had ever seen before!

Chapter 123, North Star and the Sun

Inside a large car wash in Queens, New York.

In the dark and closed room, only the moon, which had been ravaged by the super-deified Xinian and Superman, cast a beam of bright light, providing some visibility.

The demigod hope Nian looked at the very weak green-haired girl lying on the bed, as if he could see the paleness on her fair face. For some reason, a surge of anger welled up in his heart, and his silver hair, overflowing with a destructive aura, fluttered behind him.

Xiao Huang jumped down from Xinian's palm and onto the table next to the bed, gently licking its paws.

hope Nian took a deep breath, strode forward, and said in a deep voice, "Tell me, who hurt you so badly?"

"You idiot little brother..." The green-haired girl on the bed glared at him, then said weakly, "You're overthinking it... There's no one in this city who can hurt me yet..."

"Uh." Xinian was stunned for a moment. Thinking about it, it wasn't an exaggeration. Lorna's ability was too strong, and her ability just happened to be the counter to superheroes in this city who carried metal with them, such as Iron Man and Captain America.

The only one who could potentially pose a threat to Lorna is the Hulk, but the Hulk has now "reformed" and publicly joined the Avengers during the Battle of New York.

The spirit and thoughts of Guanluo entered Xinian's mind:

"Judging from your human physical condition, she should be—having a fever."

Xinian immediately reached out and brushed aside Lorna's green hair. The moment his palm touched the girl's forehead, he immediately felt a distinct burning sensation, and there was not a drop of sweat on her skin, as if he were touching a piece of metal forged in a blazing fire.

This temperature is much higher than a normal fever; an ordinary person would probably be dead by now!

“You have a fever, I’ll take you to the hospital.” Xinian reached out his hands to the girl, wanting to pick her up. However, Lorna struggled slightly and pushed Xinian’s hands away with her weak little hands.

hope Nian frowned, understanding her meaning: "You don't want to go to the hospital?"

Lorna nodded slightly. Since hope Nian arrived, her tense spirit seemed to have relaxed considerably, and her small and weak curled-up body slightly unfolded.

“But your fever is too high.” hope Nian had a sudden thought and asked thoughtfully, “Are you afraid that the hospital will take your blood and expose your special physical condition or genes?”

In this respect, many extraordinary individuals seem to be on guard.

For example, neither of Xinian's aunt Diana nor his childhood sweetheart Gwen ever went to the hospital for a check-up. This was because their physical strength far exceeded that of ordinary people, which meant that they were not easily injured, and even if they were injured, they would probably have recovered before they even reached the hospital.

As for Kara, the unique Kryptonian physique of Supergirl, even if she were to have her blood drawn at a hospital, the sharpest metal needle would be unable to pierce her outer skin.

But Polaris Lorna is different. Her extraordinary ability lies in her manipulation and control of magnetic forces, and her physical strength is not much stronger than that of an ordinary person.

Faced with Xinian's question.

Lorna, lying on the bed, nodded, then shook her head, her pale lips seeming to speak but unable to.

“That’s one reason. Are there other reasons why we can’t go to the hospital?” A flash of understanding crossed hope Nian’s eyes. Just then, Guan Luo’s mental message continued to ring out: “Someone is coming this way. It’s a woman.”

Actually, there's no need for Guan Luo to remind me.

Even hope Nian, whose facial features were almost divine, could hear the crisp sound of high heels coming from the corridor outside the room.

The woman in the hallway stopped in front of the closed door, knocked a few times, and asked respectfully, "Boss Lorna, you haven't left the house for half a day, and you haven't even eaten dinner. Is there something you need help with?"

"Are you feeling unwell?" The woman asked again when she heard no response.

In a dark room.

hope Nian narrowed his eyes slightly. This woman's concern seemed less like genuine concern and more like an attempt to gather information and understand Lorna's current situation.

At this time.

Lorna, who looked more like a little girl than usual, helped Xinian, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, to sit up with difficulty. After a moment of preparation, she uttered a cold and powerful voice: "I'm fine, I just don't have much of an appetite today. Don't bother me while I'm sleeping."

"Okay, Boss Lorna." The woman outside the door felt a slight tremor in her heart, and dared not ask any more questions. She quickly left in her high heels.

They held on until the other person came downstairs.

Lorna, who had been helped to sit up, had no strength left and simply used Xinian as a mattress, collapsing her limp body into his arms.

Nevertheless, the weakened Lorna still said proudly, "I'll borrow your body... no objections, little brother?"

"Of course I have no objection. Please use it as you see fit, boss."

The demigod Xinian smiled and reached out to embrace the girl's body. Only then did he suddenly realize that the girl, who had always been strong and powerful, was actually very light, soft, and petite, even more fragile than Wanda, who had collapsed in his arms.

hope Nian looked down at the girl's pale yet stubborn face and suddenly said, "As the leader, you're afraid that others will see your vulnerable side, even your own people."

Lorna nodded silently; this was the main reason why she didn't want to go to the hospital even though she had a fever.

hope Nian remained silent.

Just as he had thought when he first met Lorna, the girl must have put in more effort than others to become the leader of an underground force at such a young age.

It now appears that the girl's situation is far more difficult than he had imagined.

Even as the head of a criminal organization, she was constantly being watched. When the girl was able to unleash her extraordinary abilities, the others naturally remained obedient. But if they discovered that she had lost her powers, or was ill or weak, some of them might seize the opportunity to attack!

So on this night when my body is at its weakest.

With no one to rely on, the girl chose to send that distress text message, which, in her strong and proud eyes, was somewhat embarrassing.

"Don't worry, everything's fine now."

In the darkness, the boy gently embraced the girl, like the sun embracing the North Star: "Because I am here."

Lorna's hot breathing gradually became even, and her soft body nestled in Xinian's arms. Her brows closed peacefully as she fell asleep, though her little hands were still clutching his clothes.

"Dad," Lorna murmured softly as she slept.

Xinian felt an increasing tenderness for the young girls of today.

He asked softly, "Guanluo, do you have any way to alleviate her condition?"

“It’s very simple,” Guan Luo responded with his mental powers. “I can directly absorb the scorching energy from her body.”

hope Nian was speechless for a moment: "Why didn't you say so earlier!"

"Isn't this your chance to shine?" Guan Luo replied lazily.

"Hurry up." Xinian held the sleeping girl in one arm and took a glass jar out of his bag with the other.

After the glass jar was opened, a brightly colored one-eyed starfish emerged from inside, extending one of its claws and gently touching the forehead of the sleeping Lorna.

Five seconds later.

The jar retracted its extended claws, as if it had absorbed a lot of human energy. Its size expanded, almost cracking the jar.
