99. Astral Projection.
"Can you determine her identity?"
Seeing Moon Knight's gaze, Alex took a few steps forward and spoke slowly.
"I think I saw her file on S.H.I.E.L.D.'s list back when I was with the Avengers, but I'm not certain. It's been a while since I left the Avengers, and this girl has changed a lot." Moon Knight rubbed his chin, thought for a moment, and continued."She is one of the alien races recorded by S.H.I.E.L.D. I remember her because her parents did a lot of bad things in the past but later reformed. As for the girl's name, I think it's Karolina Dean."
"Hmm, her..." Alex listened to Moon Knight's description, and a name from the Marvel Universe suddenly popped into his head—the Runaways.
The Runaways, also known as the Runaway Alliance, is a team of teenage superheroes from different backgrounds. These kids' families were vastly different, and their parents were not ordinary people. Among them were mutants, aliens, people from the future, black magicians, and other extraordinary beings.
At the same time, their parents were all secretly united villains who worshipped a deity called the Six-Fingered Demon. They would offer fresh lives as sacrifices to this demon according to ritual needs. Because of this, the teenagers who accidentally discovered their parents' villainous identities ran away from home. They banded together to form the Runaways, fighting against their common enemies—their parents.
Karolina is one of them. Her whole family are aliens hiding on Earth. When she was young, her parents hid this truth from her and gave her a bracelet that suppressed her alien genes, making her live like a human for over a decade. It wasn't until she discovered her true identity that she began to accept and train her alien superpowers. When she activates her alien genes, her whole body emits a rainbow-colored light, which she can use to attack opponents.
Karolina also mastered the ability to fly, and her body became much tougher. Although she couldn't reach Kara's level, she was much stronger than ordinary people.
"You seem to know a lot about her?" Noticing Alex's tone, Moon Knight asked casually.
"Not particularly, but I know some things about her. For example, she formed a small group with other villains' children to secretly resist their parents. Their reputation may not be as big as yours, but they've made significant contributions."
Alex shook his head slightly. "Unfortunately, from her injuries, I judge that her teammates have already died at Deadpool's hands."
"They are just kids, and we can't determine Deadpool's current state. If the cognitive pollution is spreading from Deadpool, then everyone facing him is extremely dangerous." Moon Knight said while placing his hand on Karolina's forehead.
A soft white light appeared on Moon Knight's hand and quickly merged into Karolina's body. Gradually, a faint glow emerged from Karolina's body—the rainbow-colored light of her alien genes.
"It's working." Seeing the glow emerge from the bandages, Alex's eyes lit up. Divine power is indeed a universal energy. Although Alex could use magic to heal Karolina, the risk of accidents was too high without the corresponding incantation.
In this regard alone, divine power is much stronger than ordinary magic.
"It's not that easy. She lost too much blood. I'm just using divine power to convert my blood into hers for replenishment. But my ability is limited; I can barely keep her alive. Whether she wakes up, I can't guarantee." Moon Knight withdrew his hand, slightly panting. It was clear his condition wasn't good either. After breaking free from part of the pollution, Moon Knight realized that he had unknowingly severed his divine power connection with Khonshu. His divine power could not be replenished, only decreasing with use.
It's important to note that this generation of Moon Knight was revived by Khonshu's immense divine power. In other words, without Khonshu's divine support, Marc is just a dead man. His existence in this world is entirely because of Khonshu. When he uses the last bit of divine power, he will perish.
"It's enough. You've worked hard. Leave the rest to me." Alex said faintly, then moved to Karolina's side and extended his hands.
"What are you going to do?" Moon Knight asked curiously.
"I'm going to enter her mind. She faced Deadpool directly and was nearly killed by him. If the pollution source is Deadpool, then he must have left a deep mental imprint on this girl. This level of contact won't alert him."
Alex closed his eyes after speaking. At the same time, he called out to Miss Minutes in his heart and began connecting his spirit with the material energy of another universe, causing an unprecedented surge of terrifying energy in his body. Powerful magic, invisible to the naked eye, flowed through Alex. As his spiritual power surged, it began invading Karolina's mind.
"Magic power?" Moon Knight quickly sensed the extraordinary magical flow.
"Yes, and it's the legendary magic of astral projection. Only those who wield powerful magic can use it. It is said that using this magic allows one's soul to break barriers and freely traverse various dimensions and time streams." John explained from the side, looking at Alex with increasing reverence.
As Alex closed his eyes, tiny starlights began to appear and flicker. Soon, everything around him became clearer. However, in Alex's eyes, the world now appeared extraordinarily splendid. Countless strands like spider silk floated in the air. In the atmosphere, innumerable 'small bugs' were swimming. At this moment, everything around seemed like a kaleidoscope, infinitely repeating bewildering changes.
Seeing this, Alex suddenly realized that he was now in a state of astral projection, viewing the world differently. With this thought, Alex adjusted his vision and looked back at Moon Knight and John.
