American comics: Praising the sun, starting from Gotham!

Xiu En withdrew his hand and said.

"My name is Xiu En, a warm-hearted sun passing by."

Xiu En gave a bright smile.

"As for the smell of Sithon, if you just ate a garlic barbecue, you'll smell of garlic on you too."

Shuen took a step forward and looked at Wanda.

"Now that you've calmed down, can we talk about where Sithon hid after unplugging the internet cable?"

Wanda, with the help of Vision's arm, managed to stand up straight and wiped the cold sweat from her forehead.

The remaining chaotic magic in the corridor has completely dissipated.

"That Sisorn."

Wanda carefully considered her choice of words.

"Just yesterday, I sensed that he severed his mental connection with all black magic users in this universe."

Vision tilted his head slightly, and the Mind Stone on his forehead flashed.

"From the perspective of energy conservation, actively severing such a vast network of beliefs would greatly weaken his own dimensional projection."

Vision analyzed in a calm tone.

"Unless, he encounters some kind of crisis that threatens his very essence, forcing him to sever ties with his own tail to survive."

The sunflower wiggled its vines on Xiu En's shoulder.

"A crisis is standing right in front of you."

Shuen looked into Wanda's eyes.

"Cutting off the tail to survive? That's quite decisive."

Xiu En's tone was mocking.

"Where did he run off to? He can't just hide in the Crimson Universe forever and never come out."

Wanda closed her eyes, seemingly trying to recall that uncomfortable memory.

"I don't know exactly where he went, but I can sense the general direction."

Wanda opened her eyes again.

"But at the very last moment before the connection was lost, I sensed an extremely strong emotional fluctuation in him. It was panic, and hunger."

Wanda looked directly into Shum's eyes.

"He fled to another completely unfamiliar universe. He was searching for a vessel."

Wanda's tone became serious.

"A backup vessel with extremely powerful potential for chaos magic, perhaps even more powerful than me. He needs to devour that vessel."

The corridor was quiet for a few seconds.

"Backup carrier?"

"Is this Xishon so scared that he's planning to start over with a new account? Find a new host and then come back stronger?"

Xiu En shook his head, a flash of golden light passing through his eyes.

"Unfortunately, he didn't know that hunters love prey that thinks it's clever."

Xiu En stuck out his tongue and licked his lips.

"He thinks he can escape me by finding a new host? That will only make the dish more sumptuous."

Sunflower patted Xiu En's cheek with its vines.

"Stop drooling."

Sunflower reminded me.

"The multiverse is so vast, do you know which universe he went to find that unfortunate backup vessel? We can't possibly knock on every door in every universe."

Thor stood to the side, scratching his blond hair hard.

"Multiverse? Backup carrier? Dimensional projection?" Thor sighed loudly and slammed Mjolnir onto the ground.

Shuon turned around and looked at Wanda and Vision again.

"Thank you for the tip, Ms. Maximov."

Xiu En put on what he considered a very gentlemanly expression.

"In return, once I capture that Sithon and drain him dry, I can purify some of his pure chaotic magic, free of any negative intent, and give it to you. Consider it a tip for asking for directions."

Wanda was taken aback, clearly not expecting Shuen to propose such a deal.

Vision bowed slightly.

"Thank you for your generosity, Mr. Shuen," Vision replied politely. "We will carefully consider your offer. Best wishes for your hunt."

Wanda leaned on Vision's arm, her brow furrowed, and fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.

She closed her eyes, her lips parted slightly, and uttered a few obscure syllables.

"It was filled with the stench of death and ancient magic."

"Without specific star map coordinates, I can only capture the frequency characteristics of that dimension. It's an extremely exclusive world, where the rules of magic are completely different from here."

Vision immediately raised his hand and recorded the frequency characteristics that Wanda spoke into his system.

"This kind of fuzzy dimensional feature may have millions of matches in the multiverse."

Vision looked at Xiu En, his tone serious.

"Mr. Xiu En, without precise navigation, the probability of getting lost in the void during interdimensional teleportation is as high as 99.9%."

The sunflower wriggled on Xiu's shoulder, its two leaves embracing each other.

"Did you hear me, Xiu En!"

The sunflower shouted loudly.

"This is like blindfolded rambling through space! If you lead me astray, I'll sew your mouth shut with vines!"

"Millions of matches? So what?"

Xiu En shrugged nonchalantly.

"Even if he's hiding in the sewers of space, I can still find him. A hunter's intuition is far more useful than any of your data."

Thor, carrying Mjolnir, came over and patted Shuen on the back.

"Well said! That's the spirit a soldier should have!"

Thor laughed and then pointed to the end of the corridor.

"But even if we're going hunting, we need to fill our stomachs first. The BBQ steak at the S.H.I.E.L.D. cafeteria is almost ready. Fury, that one-eyed bastard, is being unusually generous today. Are you sure you don't want to eat before you go?"

Xiu En licked his lips, a hint of struggle flashing in his eyes, but it was quickly replaced by an even more intense appetite.

"No ordinary barbecue can compare to the deliciousness of the Demon God."

Shuen waved his hand, declining Thor's invitation.

"Big guy, you go eat first. I'll bring that big meal back, and then we can have a leisurely drink together."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiu En withdrew his right hand, his five fingers spread open.

A blinding ball of pure gold flame exploded in his palm.

The temperature in the corridor soared instantly.

With the vague frequency given by Wanda and his own memory of the scent of Sithon, Xiu En thrust his hand, imbued with the Golden Crow Divine Fire, into the air in front of him.

A rift burning with golden flames was torn open by Xiu En with his bare hands.

The edges of the rift were extremely unstable, with golden flames colliding violently with the dark currents in the void.

"I'm gone."

Shuen waved to Thor and stepped into the raging rift.

The crack closed quickly after Shuen left, leaving only a charred burn mark on the corridor floor.

Thor looked at the empty corridor, scratched his head, turned around and strode toward the elevator, muttering that he was going to eat a couple more steaks.

The violent spatial turbulence tore at the surrounding air.

The blinding golden flames swept outwards as he landed, instantly turning the withered trees within dozens of meters into ashes.

The sunflower wrapped its vines around Xiu's neck, its leaves standing upright in the wind.

"Couldn't you have chosen a flatter spot to land?!"

The sunflower complained loudly, loosening its vines and slapping its flower head.

"You're going to shake my leaves off! The air here smells awful, like mold and sourness."

Xiu En straightened up and twisted his neck.

"The hunter's instincts lead the way, so the ride is bound to be a bit bumpy."

Xiu En replied casually, his golden eyes scanning the surrounding dim forest.

"But the smell is right. This place reeks of that old man's stench."

Before Xiu En could accurately pinpoint Xisone's location, a series of hurried footsteps and a piercing scream came from the depths of the woods ahead.

A young boy in a tattered gray robe scrambled out of the bushes.

He was covered in blood, clutching a broken wooden staff, his face filled with extreme terror.

Three deformed hunting dogs were hot on the boy's heels.

They had no eyes, and their gaping mouths were full of jagged fangs, emitting a nauseating stench.

The boy tripped over a protruding tree root and fell onto the muddy ground not far from Xiu En.

He turned around in despair, raised the broken staff, and tried to make a final struggle.

The Chaos Hound at the front leaped high into the air, opened its blood-red maw, and lunged straight for the boy's throat.

"So noisy."

Xiu En frowned slightly.

He snapped his fingers.

A ball of pure golden divine fire erupted in mid-air.

The Chaos Hound, leaping through the air, didn't even have time to let out a scream before it instantly vaporized in the extreme heat, leaving not even a trace of ash behind.

The other two hounds sensed a deadly threat, stopped in their tracks, and growled in a low voice, seemingly wanting to turn and run away.

"Since we're already here, why run away?"

Xiu En stomped his foot, and his whole body transformed into a golden light, instantly appearing in front of the two hunting dogs.

Xiu En stretched out his hands and grabbed the necks of the two hounds, one on each side.

The violent golden energy poured directly into the hounds' bodies, completely destroying their chaotic magic along with their physical forms.

Xiu En disdainfully shook his hand and threw the two lifeless corpses on the ground.

"The meat quality is terrible, it's full of contaminants and impurities!"

Xiu En pursed his lips, took out a small cookie from his pocket, and popped it into his mouth, crunching away.

The young boy, who had fallen to the ground, was completely dumbfounded. His mouth was agape as he stared blankly at the man who radiated a holy light yet mercilessly crushed the terrifying monster.

"You? You are...which god?" the boy stammered, his voice trembling violently.

The sunflower peeked out from Xiu En's shoulder and looked at the boy on the ground.

"Hey kid, where is this place? Have any annoying strangers emitting red light come around here lately?"

The boy swallowed hard, trying to calm himself down.

"This is the Misty Forest on the edge of Avalon."

The boy struggled to his feet and bowed deeply to Xiu En.

"My name is Ize, and I am an apprentice mage. Thank you for saving my life."

Ize raised his head.

"I might know that stranger from out of town who emits red light that you mentioned."

Ize pointed in a direction deep in the forest.

"Just yesterday, a red magical force descended upon the ancient ruins in the heart of the forest. That force distorted everything around it, and these hounds are monsters born from that force."

"Just yesterday, a red magical force descended upon the ancient ruins in the heart of the forest. That force distorted everything around it, and these hounds are monsters born from that force."

Xiu'en's golden light shone brightly.

"Ancient ruins?"

"Looks like Nassan has found himself a good restaurant. Lead the way, kid."
