NOVEL NEXT 89. Human Meteor.
Having mastered supernatural powers, the pressure that had been lingering in Alex's heart eased considerably.
After crossing over for such a long time and witnessing numerous world-destroying superhumans firsthand, Alex had always felt immense pressure because he was just an ordinary person. Like in the incident with General Zod's invasion, Alex couldn't imagine how he could save that universe if it weren't for the Kryptonians' significant weakness to Kryptonite.
Given his abilities, Alex might have perished in any battle's aftermath, and not even Pietro could guarantee saving him every time. So, the only outcome for him was to keep running away.
Alex had run away enough and didn't want to keep running. He didn't want to be a burden to the entire team, so he preferred to spend seventeen years quietly improving himself. Fortunately, the result was good. Feeling the magical energy flowing around him, Alex's heart gradually settled. This magical energy came from within this universe, sensed by wizards and attracted to them. However, these magical energies scattered in the air were extremely weak, far inferior to those in magical dimensions.
"Pietro, you keep playing. John and I are going out for a walk. After being away from human civilization for so long, I really want to relax," Alex said, stretching lazily.
Originally, Alex planned to use magical energy to restore Pietro's lost arm. With his current abilities, he could definitely do it, but he lacked the spells and experience regarding limb regeneration. Recklessly trying black magic could easily lead to accidents.
If he accidentally gave Pietro a demon arm, that would be too absurd. So, Alex quickly abandoned this idea, thinking of first making a mechanical limb as a temporary solution and then restoring Pietro's arm when he was more confident.
"Where are you going? I'll go with you," Kara said.
"Uh, no need. I'm just going out with John for a bit, and I want to find a way to get Pietro a mechanical limb." Alex waved his hand casually and, before Kara could say more, directly pulled John out of the house.
Seeing Alex's obviously off behavior, Kara tilted her head suspiciously. She looked at Pietro, who shrugged and continued playing his game. Turning back, Kara activated her X-ray vision. It wasn't that she didn't trust Alex, but she was curious about what secret Alex had after staying in another world for so long and then leaving so urgently upon returning.
Convincing herself with the excuse of "worrying about Alex's safety," Kara directed her gaze towards the direction Alex left. Since Alex and John used teleportation magic when they left, Kara lost track of them instantly. But this little thing couldn't stump a Kryptonian. Kara extended her senses, following the memory of Alex's voice and heartbeat, and soon found his location.
Kara's gaze pierced through walls, skyscrapers, and bustling crowds, finally locking onto a building adorned with various exquisite neon lights.Alex, led by John, strutted to the entrance, and soon, numerous beautifully dressed women in short skirts surrounded them, escorting Alex and John into the hall.
Seeing this, Kara closed her eyes directly. She wasn't naive enough not to understand what that place was for. After living in Earth's civilization for a while, she already knew what "natural reproduction" meant.Kara didn't know how she felt at that moment, but she felt extremely speechless.
"What did you see?" Pietro asked curiously. He knew how terrifying Kara's abilities were. She often used her powerful perception to understand this world during this time.
"Just play your game," Kara glanced at Pietro, left a sentence, and returned to her room.
Leaving a very confused Pietro in front of the computer.
Back in her room, Kara casually closed the door and reopened a superhero comic book. In this universe, superheroes had become a symbol and a new profession. Around these superheroes, many hidden fortunes naturally emerged. Among these, the most prominent were the derivative works born from superheroes.
Many companies would spend a lot of money each year to buy the portrait and adaptation rights of superheroes, creating various products to attract the public's attention and promote consumption. And the heroes naturally enjoyed this. After all, not every superhero was a rich second generation like Tony Stark. If someone could bring them some extra income, they were happy to accept it.
However, most superheroes would donate this money, like Spider-Man Peter Parker and Daredevil Lawyer Matt. Kara didn't know what they were thinking, living so frugally yet unwilling to accept the money to improve their lives.
Using the superhero profession as a framework, numerous online games, figurines, and even derivative comics were created. Kara's favorite pastime was reading these comics based on superheroes' past experiences. To her, reading these comics helped her better understand the superhero profession and the challenges they faced.
Kara wasn't aimless. Since learning that her cousin was a superhero in many parallel universes, she became interested in this profession and wanted to see how these 'colleagues' like her cousin operated.Of course, Kara wasn't ignorant of the principle "seeing is believing." So while watching the comics, whenever she saw a superhero character that interested her, she would use her X-ray vision to directly "see" the person's current state.
This wasn't just to understand the real experiences of the heroes and the discrepancies in the comics, but also to satisfy her curiosity about this group of people.
Over time, Kara developed the habit of using her X-ray vision to observe various superheroes every night. Initially, her intention was merely to better observe this world's superheroes, but now, this program had become a good way for Kara to relax every night.
Especially after seeing Alex and John really go to physically "relax," Kara decided to check out others to calm herself.
Just as Kara was considering whether to watch Daredevil fight gangsters or see Professor X teach students in the evening. A pink human-shaped meteor abruptly entered her sight.
