American comics: Praising the sun, starting from Gotham!

The golden flames slowly faded away.

The air around Xiu En was still slightly distorted due to the abnormally high temperature.

He floated down onto a breakwater that hadn't completely crumbled and sat cross-legged.

That earth-shattering nuclear burp not only caused him to spew out a dazzling ball of golden-red sparks, but it also seemed to take away his almost godlike madness and aloof demeanor.

At this moment, he even looked somewhat endearing, like a diner who had forced himself to finish the last dish of food at a buffet and was now clutching his stomach, reflecting on his impulsive actions.

The geothermal radiation dragon had long since disappeared, and a layer of white steam floated on the surface of the harbor water, evidence left behind by the violent evaporation of stagnant water and seawater.

"You're insane! If that radiation burns you to a crisp inside, I'll never collect your body!"

Sunflower Ivy was the busiest person there at that moment.

Instead of staying away from Xiu En, a high-radiation source, she controlled several emerald green vines and, ignoring the pain of being burned, forcibly wrapped them around Xiu En's wrists and neck.

The Anubis seal left by the Doctor of Fate now glowed with a gentle golden light, hidden among the green leaves.

It guided the unbridled energy within Xiu En's body, diverting it little by little, and finally channeling it into the depths of the earth through Ivy's body.

"Don't be so fierce, the taste is actually not bad, except it gets stuck in your teeth a bit."

Xiu En obediently lowered his head, letting the palm-sized plant clone slap his forehead with its leaves, showing none of his previous arrogance.

He dropped all his divine pretense in front of Ivy.

"You're always like this, always acting without considering the consequences."

Ivy's trembling voice betrayed her fear. She was truly terrified, gripped by the palpable panic of something about to leave her, the alienation of Shuen transforming into some inhuman being.

"Okay, okay, next time I'll definitely take it with an inhibitor."

Seemingly to soothe the trembling little flower in his arms, or perhaps it was a stroke of inspiration, Xiu En slowly opened his arms. The immense energy he had just absorbed from the radiant dragon underwent a wondrous transformation under his mental guidance.

The originally domineering Golden Crow Flame, after being neutralized by the Curse of Destiny and Ivy's aura, actually transformed into a gentle ripple like the warm sun of early spring, spreading out from the center of Ci'en Port to the surrounding ruins.

This is a gift.

Arthur stared in astonishment at his trident, which had lost its luster, and found that it emitted a joyful ringing the moment it came into contact with the light wave. The fine battle scratches on its surface were healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In the cracks of the dock, on the scorched earth, tender green grass sprouted and stretched out in the not-so-blinding light.

The once lifeless and stench-filled port now has a faint, almost impossible, fresh scent of grass and trees.

"You call this a brainless barbarian?"

Arthur nudged Wonder Woman with his elbow, looking at the miraculous scene before him, and felt his worldview crumbling.

"Did he just give us a little bit of healing too?"

Indeed, the fatigue melted away.

Diana flexed her wrists, her gaze lingering on the glowing figure entwined with green vines.

"Maybe I'm wrong."

The Amazon princess put away her lasso of truth and began to smile.

After recovering for a while, Shu En looked at Wonder Woman.

"Well then, I'll leave the rest to you, Your Highness. I need to go back and rest to digest my food; I'm not in good shape to fight right now."

Xiu En waved to Diana without any hesitation. Several high-temperature rubies that had just fallen from the back of the radiant dragon floated around his golden figure. He was not only full, but he even packed some local specialties.

"Are you really just going back to sleep?"

Although Diana already knew a little about her ally's personality, she was still speechless at this blatant laziness.

In particular, the radiance emanating from this thing is even more dazzling than that of Apollo, the sun god on Mount Olympus.

"This is energy sedimentation; you don't understand."

The sunflower retorted fiercely, even though her leaves had already curled up due to the intense adhesion over the past few hours.

"And if we don't go back and check on the orphanage's garden soon, I'm afraid Black Gold and Solomon will tear the house down."

"Alright."

Wonder Woman sighed and shook her head helplessly.

"Arthur, you're in charge of catching up with the giant lizard that looks like it's gone mad, and calming it down so it doesn't come back. I'll deal with the last mess."

After saying that, the female warrior, carrying her sword and shield, transformed into a streak of red and blue light and rushed straight into the shadows of Gotham City.

Martha Wayne Memorial Home.

This orphanage, considered by all of Gotham to be a place blessed by God, witnessed another miracle today.

First, the despairing dark clouds in the sky were forcibly torn apart, and then a golden light source slowly descended from the sky.

"Praise be to the sun! Praise be to its immaculate radiance!"

Before Xiu En even landed, Joestar, who was already basking in the sunlight, started howling.

He seemed to have sensed Xiu En's return beforehand and brought his men here.

The latest update is now live and awaits your interpretation.

On the playground of the welfare home, dozens of burly men wearing white vests and overalls made a gesture of praise to the sun in unison, believing it to be the highest form of etiquette to welcome the source of power.

"Wow! Brother Xiu is back!"

The children are even purer.

They simply liked this strange man who could dispel the chill and perform amusing magic tricks.

"Yes, I'm back."

Hugh landed somewhat awkwardly on the lawn in front of the greenhouse, where the heatwave became as comfortable as a hot spring under his control.

He casually tossed a radioactive ruby ​​the size of a fingernail to Alvin, who was standing guard nearby, and Alvin caught it in a flurry.

"Alright, it's time for you to go back and get a good night's sleep."

Stepping into the familiar greenhouse, the air filled with the fragrance of earth finally calmed the golden fire within Xiu En's body.

He patted his shoulder gently.

The sunflower clone that had accompanied him through the chaos at the museum, the tearing apart of mechanical seafood, and the beating of a deep-sea monster, human-like rubbed its leaves against Xiu En's cheek as if bidding a final farewell. Then, it transformed into a streak of emerald green with a hint of gold and disappeared into the largest and most vibrant plant in the center of the flowerbed.

The next second, all the plants in the greenhouse seemed to come alive.

All the leaves were trembling, and the vines were whipping around in the air, creating sonic booms.

The giant flower bud in the center slowly bloomed under the influence of abundant life energy, and the Poison Ivy Woman emerged from it.

Through the neutralization of fate's power and the tempering of the radiant golden fire, Ivy Pamela also completed her transformation in this major event.

"Phew, that's more like it."

Watching Ivy adapt to her new powers, Xiu En casually sprawled out on a recliner and picked a huge banana leaf to cover his face.

There are no Superman, no aliens, and no monsters.

There was only the warm air, the laughter of children chasing and playing outside, and the heavy metal rock version of the Great Compassion Mantra playing from a loudspeaker that Joestar had somehow gotten his hands on.

"This is life, isn't it? System, shall we settle today's rewards?"

The air in the greenhouse was filled with a warm, drowsy fragrance.

Xiu En rolled over contentedly, thinking to himself that he had to give some real benefits for this grand spectacle of two suns soaring into the sky and boiling the sea.

Seeing that the system was not responding, he continued to urge it.

"Hey, system, stop playing dead. Even without the Ascension Token, give me two pounds of Longevity Pills or one of those radiated dragon flavored lollipops."

He habitually called out the system panel in his mind.

However, this time he was met with a slowly unrolling scroll.

[A foreign metropolis, shrouded in filth. I am moved that though you are mired in this mire, your original aspirations remain undiminished.]

[Clearing away the acidic fog that stretches for miles is one achievement. Sweeping away the deep-sea impurities is another. Suppressing the ancient ferocious beasts, though driven by greed, saved countless lives, which can also be considered half an achievement.]

[Comment: Though his actions are as crude and uncouth as a wild beast, he possesses a remnant of the spirit of conquering all. Even when far from home, he retains the integrity of Li Bai.]

[Bestowed: A single thread of Venusian gold essence to strengthen the foundation.]

Xiu En understood, especially the two words that, though written in a refined manner, were clearly vulgar and carried the tone of a teasing elder, causing Xiu En's legs, which were swinging back and forth, to freeze in mid-air.

"Wait a minute? This handwriting? This tone?"

Xiu En sprang up from the recliner like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, the huge banana leaf covering his face slipping off to reveal an embarrassed expression.

He had assumed that after receiving treatment at the Tower of Destiny in Salem that night, the powerful figure who had manifested through the system had long since retreated to the Celestial Realm for some tea.

Who would have thought that this guy not only didn't leave, but also streamed the whole thing from a first-person perspective, and watched it from beginning to end!

"Um? You're still here?"

He asked in his mind, somewhat haltingly.

The shameless act of wanting more candy vanished instantly, and the shameless Xiu En felt ashamed.

The golden scroll in his mind slowly dissipated, transforming into an extremely pure, sharp, and cool aura that penetrated his spine—a genuine reward of divine power.

But the system didn't reply with any more text, only a meaningful punctuation mark flashed by at the end, conveying a mocking "you'd better watch yourself."

Xiu En's face flushed red instantly, the heat even higher than when he had ingested radiation.

He frantically grabbed a banana leaf and covered his entire face with it.

I should have known better than to overeat.

I should have known better than to overeat.

So embarrassing.

Do they even care about saving face?

"What's wrong?"

Ivy, who was weaving flower wreaths for the children with leaves, stopped what she was doing.

She watched as Xiu En buried himself in the leaves like an ostrich, his ears turning bright red.

"It's nothing...it's just...nothing."

Xiu En's voice came out muffledly from under the banana leaves.

"It just suddenly dawned on me that I might have to be a well-behaved and sensible model youth for the rest of my life."
