American comics: Praising the sun, starting from Gotham!

Welcome to a vast collection of novels for you to explore!

As Xiu En looked at the group of children who were curious and excited about the addition of a new friend, his smile grew even brighter.

He decided to add another miracle to the afternoon tea as dessert.

"Children, watch carefully!"

Xiu En cleared his throat and, like a clumsy magician preparing to go on stage, mysteriously raised his right hand, which was adorned with a sun ring.

The ring, which originally only emitted a faint golden light, burst forth with a seven-colored rainbow under his will!

"Wow--!"

The children let out a unified gasp of amazement, their eyes widening as they watched the scene with curiosity.

"Today, I'll show you the magic of the sun!"

A beam of green light, representing will, flew out from the ring and transformed into lifelike, emerald-green hummingbirds in the air. They flapped their wings and circled around the children, creating refreshing breezes.

"This is the color of courage."

Xiu En explained with a smile.

Then, another beam of blue light, representing hope, appeared. It condensed in mid-air into blue, cloud-like cotton candy-like clouds. When the children reached out to touch them, a small piece of each cloud would be torn off, just like a real cotton candy, and then turn into a warm halo in their palms.

"This is the color of dreams."

When that red light, representing anger, appeared, the children instinctively took a step back.

It exploded in the air with a bang, like fireworks!

Countless golden, steaming, creamy popcorns rained down from the sky, scattering across the entire lawn as the sunflowers covered their faces, forming baskets woven from vines to prevent the popcorn from touching the soil.

"And this is the color of passion!"

"Although, sometimes I get a little hot and bothered."

The children cheered, and with the help of the popcorn, the entire orphanage was immersed in a magical ocean filled with laughter and the aroma of butter.

While the children were completely absorbed in the revelry, Hugh quietly slipped away from the crowd.

He found her: the deputy director of the orphanage, a woman named Martha Kaplan who looked to be in her fifties and whose eyes were full of kindness and resilience.

This woman is a truly respectable person who has dedicated her life to charity, and she is also the helper that Ivy found. Coincidentally, her name is also Martha.

Hugh could sense the aura of the Batcave on her; she was like a "living Batcave," recruited by Ivy through special channels because Bruce had been away from home for a long time.

"Dean Kaplan."

Xiu En walked to her side, his smile fading slightly.

"Mr. Xiu En."

Vice Dean Martha put down the sweater she was knitting and responded with a smile.

"Thank you for everything you have brought to the children."

"It's what I should do."

Shuen waved his hand, then his gaze turned to Seraphina, who was being pulled by Jenny as she tried playing hopscotch with other children for the first time.

"Dean, I've come today to ask you for something even more important." Xiu En's tone became serious.

"Please speak."

Vice Dean Martha also noticed the change in atmosphere, and her expression immediately became serious.

"The new girl's name is Serafina."

Xiuen organized his words.

"This child has been homeless for several years. She has experienced some very bad things."

"Therefore, her values ​​regarding life may be different from those of ordinary children."

Vice Dean Martha frowned.

Wandering? Different values ​​regarding life? Making bad people disappear?

"I see."

"Are you saying that this child may have violent tendencies, or even has harmed others?"

No, she didn't.

Xiu En immediately denied it.

"She was the purest soul I had ever met. But it was precisely because she was so pure that she couldn't understand the gray area between sin and punishment."

"Oh my god..."

Vice Dean Martha gasped and instinctively covered her mouth.

"I brought her here in the hope that she can relearn how to love, how to forgive, and how to understand that the world is not always black and white, among these kind children."

Xiu En's voice was pleading.

"Dean, you're an expert in this field. You can take good care of Bruce, but I don't know how to teach her these things. So I'm begging you."

"I understand what you mean."

Vice Dean Martha took a deep breath.

She patted Xiu En's hand, as if comforting an anxious junior.

"Please rest assured. The orphanage has Gotham's best child psychologists. We will develop a long-term support plan for Seraphina."

"We will not let her face the darkness that she should not have to endure alone."

Several bat phantoms appeared behind Vice Dean Martha and flew towards the bat cave, their purpose unknown.

"We will teach her to play the piano, to draw, and to understand what the law and rules are. We will teach her that when bad people appear, we should hand them over to the police, not let them disappear."

Martha watched the figure clumsily hopping around in the house squares on the lawn.

Her voice softened.

"Most importantly..."

"We will let her know that from today onwards, this is her home. She is no longer alone."

"Then I can rest assured."

Then Xiu En's sunflower communicated with the sunflower that had been guarding the orphanage, saying that Xiu En wanted to take the children to Xi Mu Realm to play. The orphanage sunflower understood and turned into a green light to accompany the sun Xiu En in the sky.

Hugh walked back to the lawn and found Serafina, who was already playing happily with Jenny.

"Serafina".

Xiu En squatted down.

The little girl looked up, her eyes smiling like crescent moons.

Shuen smiled, stretched out his hand, and pointed to the Gotham City sky, which appeared unusually bright because of the two suns.

"Can you see the sun in the sky?"

"Yes!" Serafina nodded vigorously.

"There's one there, it's me."

"Remember, Serafina. From now on, no matter what danger you encounter, or if you simply miss me, just shout my name loudly towards the sun, and I will know."

"I will always take care of you."

Serafina looked at the warm sun in the sky, and then at the young man in front of her, whose smile was even brighter than the sun.

She nodded again, forcefully.

Xiu En stood up, clapped his hands, and attracted the attention of all the children on the lawn.

He looked around and saw the children fighting over popcorn.

I saw the black, gold, man-eating flower hiding in the shadows. I saw Solomon, the undead giant, grinning foolishly at the sky.

"Children!"

"Shuen announced loudly."

"Today's magic show was just an appetizer! Now, I have a suggestion!"

He opened his arms in praise of the sun.

"Would you like to take a look at my real garden?"

"garden?"

The children were taken aback at first.

"Is it a garden like the one in Alice in Wonderland?"

A little girl who loved reading fairy tales asked curiously.

"No."

Xiu En shook his head, a mysterious smile appearing on his face.

"It wasn't properly maintained before, so I didn't let you go, since it was still a bit dangerous. But now it's been taken care of very well."

"My garden is much bigger than that. There, there are singing rivers, glowing forests, and clouds made of candy that will never run out!"

He paused deliberately, whetting everyone's appetite.

"There's still a real army of sunflowers there!"

"Wow!!!"

"I want to go! I want to go!"

"Big Brother Xiu En! Take us there!"

The children cheered and jumped for joy, their eyes filled with longing and excitement as they looked at Xiu En.

Jerami involuntarily stood up.

Although his face wore an expression that said "You bunch of idiots," his slightly perked-up ears and constantly scanning his surroundings betrayed his inner tension and curiosity.

"Friends... play..."

Solomon Grandi came over too. He didn't know what a garden was; he only knew that Hugh had said they were going to a really fun place. Anywhere was fine as long as he was with his friends.

"Alright, everyone, line up!"

Xiu En smiled and began to maintain order.

He glanced at the crowd and noticed that two figures who should have been there were missing.

"strangeness."

Xiu En whispered to Xiao Hua through their mental connection.

"Where are Joestar and Alvin? At this time of day, shouldn't Joestar be cosplaying as a muscle statue? And Alvin should be somewhere in the shadows, keeping an eye on Joestar to make sure he doesn't corrupt the kids."

"Those two, after testing the new system yesterday, apparently both received some kind of advanced mission and left early this morning."

"That's what the sunflower replied."

"The specific tasks involved were either reporting to the GCPD or cleaning up piles of garbage in a sewer."

"I see."

"Never mind then, we'll bring them along next time. Anyway, the Ximu Realm always welcomes them."

After confirming that everyone was ready.

Xiu En took a deep breath.

This time, he opened a giant stargate that was ten meters high and nearly thirty meters wide, with its edges burning with a life flame that was interwoven with gold and green!

On the other side of the gate lies an endless expanse of lush green grassland.

On the grassland, a crystal river, formed from pure life energy, flows, shimmering with starlight.

In the sky, a golden sun shines. And beneath that sun stands a World Tree that seems to connect heaven and earth!

Countless energy sprites, like butterflies, fluttered freely among the sea of ​​flowers and meadows.

"Welcome to the Realm of Dawnwood!"

Xiu En's voice was filled with pride.

The children in the orphanage stared wide-eyed at the world behind the door, a world that only existed in fairy tales and dreams.

"Oh my god!"

Jenny could see more; she looked at the river flowing with starlight, her eyes so overwhelmed by the benevolent energy that she could hardly speak.

"These are all the most beautiful colors!"

Solomon Grandi stared blankly at a golden sunflower tree.

He sensed from that tree the scent that he wanted to rely on forever—the scent of Xiu En and Ivy.

Even the black-gold carnivorous plant, which had been hiding in the corner, cautiously peeked out a metal leaf from the shadows, trembling with longing at the life energy behind the door.

"What are you waiting for?"

Xiu En smiled and was the first to step into the portal.

"Keep up, kids!"

"We're going on a spring outing!"

"oh--!!!"

The children cheered and followed behind Xiu En, rushing into the stargate leading to the new world!

Jenny pulled Serafina along, chattering away as she described every scene she saw in the colors.

Solomon Grandi carried the braver children onto his shoulders and followed them inside. Each step he took left a footprint in the grass, but it was quickly repaired by life energy.

Meanwhile, Lucerne frolicked freely on the vast grasslands of the New World, chasing after those luminous energy sprites.

Jerami wanted to say he had grown up, but he pulled up the collar of his trench coat and followed at the back of the group.

Only one figure remained in Gotham.

Black Gold Carnivorous Flower.

It watched as everyone left, and stood there forlornly, shaking its leaves. It longed to go too, but it had to stay and guard this place.

Just as it was about to retreat back into the shadows.

A giant hand made of light reached out from the portal and lifted up the small patch of land inside.

"I almost forgot about you, big guy."

Xiu En's voice was apologetic.

"Let's go, let's go sunbathe together."
