In downtown Washington, on the high-rise rooftop of a residential building.
A burly man, bored, walked out onto his balcony with a can of beer, drinking it while staring blankly at the night sky.
"Sigh, it's been almost two months, why hasn't the Silver-Haired Goddess appeared again?" Counselor Roth muttered to himself.
Ever since the battle with Abomination, the Superhero Silver-Haired Goddess has not shown any trace or sign in Washington, or even the entire World.
This was a huge blow to Counselor Roth, who was the Silver-Haired Goddess's number one fan and had established many fan clubs online.
So, even though his salary at the school increased this month, he couldn't be happy at all.
Gulp, gulp, gulp!
Counselor Roth leaned on the balcony railing, tilted his head back, and chugged the remaining half can of beer.
A cool silver glow descended from the sky.
Above the night sky far in front of the residential building, the black clouds had just dispersed, revealing a bright, silvery new moon at the zenith.
Counselor Roth's gaze subconsciously turned to the moon, and at that moment, his pupils suddenly vibrated as if an earthquake had struck.
He saw.
A slender figure streaked across the city sky, continuing to fly towards the boundless night sky where the moon resided—
One could vaguely see the figure wearing a jacket, dark trousers, ordinary black canvas shoes, and a somewhat familiar schoolbag on his back. Most importantly, he wore a baseball cap, pressing down on a head of long, silver-white hair that was hard to conceal, with several strands of shimmering white divine light flying backward!
"Silver-Haired Goddess! You finally appeared!!!" Counselor Roth spat out a mouthful of beer, emotionally shouting up at the sky with tears in his eyes:
"Go save the World, I'll always support you!!!"
As if hearing his words, in the night sky hundreds of meters above the city, the figure clearly stumbled, and as a hand waved upward, the figure quickly vanished into the high altitude... In the night sky at a thousand meters, one could overlook most of the bustling urban area from here.
Half-deified Vincent flew forward, sprinting against the night wind.
His right hand grasped one end of the Lasso of Truth, and as the lasso twitched upward like a swimming dragon, it snared the clouds floating in the high sky, allowing him to borrow force and fly rapidly through the air!
On the schoolbag on Vincent's back, a small, orange-yellow head peeked out from the zipper, and inside, there was also a starfish in a glass jar.
Flerken Xiao Huang faced the hurricane outside, his small eyes almost unable to open, but his head stubbornly remained outside.
"It's been a long time since I've soared in the air like this," Guan Luo exclaimed telepathically.
"By the way, I think someone saw me just now." Vincent's eye twitched, but he wasn't overly worried. After all, besides the baseball cap, he was also wearing a black cloth mask.
The young man's face was basically only revealing a pair of bright eyes... It must be said that the effectiveness of his nightly practice finally showed tonight.
Currently, Vincent had a much firmer grasp on the use of his power and divine energy than when he was half-deified before. Although his hair would still turn silver-white, he would no longer lose control and accidentally damage surrounding objects.
Of course.
Vincent's application of divine energy still hadn't reached Aunt Diana's masterful level of spontaneity, such as using divine energy for exquisite shape-shifting or invisibility.
Also.
Vincent discovered that ever since the battle with the Apocalypse forces, Aunt Diana's personal divine artifact, the Lasso of Truth, which he now held in his hand, had been activated and awakened by his super-deified mode at the time, becoming even more spiritual and divine.
This was also why Vincent chose to bring it.
Divine artifact: Lasso of Truth.
Although it couldn't compare to the Guardian Silver Bracelet, Sword of Vulcan, and so on in combat, in terms of practicality and functionality, it was unmatched by other divine artifacts!
...In less than ten minutes.
Vincent arrived at a large car wash in Queens, New York, which was the detailed address indicated in the text message he received.
Noticing a large number of gang members moving inside and outside the car wash, seemingly with signs of disputes and quarrels, Vincent did not choose to enter through the main entrance of the car wash. Instead, he put away the Lasso of Truth and quietly landed from the night sky onto an unoccupied rooftop of a building at the car wash.
"Guan Luo, help me find someone. See where she is," Vincent whispered.
"Characteristics?" a telepathic thought directly echoed in Vincent's mind.
"Green hair, a young girl, should be easy to identify," Vincent continued.
Immediately.
Starting from the schoolbag on Vincent's back, an invisible mental thought spread outward, enveloping and penetrating the entire car wash area.
Guan Luo was incredibly useful in some respects.
Therefore, a few days ago, when parting with Guan Luo, Batman for the first time showed reluctance.
"Found her. She's alone on the third floor, the last room, on the left side of the building," Guan Luo quickly responded, adding midway: "Wait a moment, she sensed me! And, her state isn't quite right..."
Whoosh—
While listening to the telepathic message from Guan Luo, Vincent quickly moved to the left side of the building, like a black-silver lightning bolt, agilely flipping from the rooftop to the window of the room Guan Luo mentioned. Not a single gang member patrolling below noticed his presence.
The window of the target room was tightly closed.
Worried that breaking in through the window would alarm others, Vincent quickly reached out and pulled a Little Orange Cat from the schoolbag on his back.
Xiao Huang seemed to understand his meaning and opened his mouth, extending several gruesome tentacles with small teeth. He swallowed the entire window in one gulp, making only a slight crunching sound, allowing Vincent to effortlessly flip into the pitch-black room.
The entire sequence of movements was fluid and seamless, as if rehearsed countless times.
Guan Luo suddenly felt that the young man had great prospects and talent in certain areas!
The room was about thirty square meters, with no lights on. A small figure of a girl lay on the bed nearby.
In the darkness, sensing someone had entered the room.
The girl didn't get up from the bed immediately. Instead, she barely managed to lift a finger, and a fruit knife instantly flew out from under the bed, its blade fiercely stabbing towards Vincent's crotch!
Vincent's hands reacted extremely quickly, clapping down to barely catch the blade of the fruit knife. He quickly said, breaking out in a cold sweat: "Polaris, it's me!"
"Why… didn't you… use the main door… you idiot…" Lorna, lying on the bed, grumbled irritably.
However, just from her words, one could tell she had no strength, barely able to finish a sentence in several strained attempts.
Before heading here, there was actually one thing that Vincent found strange.
Given Polaris Lorna's strong personality, if she were to text him, the identifier at the end should be "boss," not "stars."
Now, Vincent understood why.
Lorna was very weak at the moment.
A hundred times weaker than any time he had ever seen her!
