----------

Mike subconsciously looked at the pendulum clock in the living room. It was almost eleven o'clock in the evening.

"The ability I acquired has finally lost its effect. It lasted for about four hours?" He let out a light breath and looked down at his clothes. He had changed back into the long shirt and casual pants he had worn before, but both were wet and covered in sweat.

It seemed as if what happened tonight was just a dream.

However, looking up at his aunt standing next to him in armor, and the golden light shining from the golden rope on her head, proved that everything was real, just now!

Diana, wearing the golden eagle armor, and Mike, who had turned back into an ordinary person, looked at each other and then quickly looked away.

Too many unexpected events had happened tonight, and these events revealed the secrets hidden from each other.

So, whether it was guilt, worry, fear, or embarrassment, with a variety of complex and indescribable emotions, Diana and Mike didn't know how to start the conversation for a while, leaving the living room in a stalemate and silent atmosphere.

"You..."

Diana was about to say something.

Just then, Mike waved his hand as if he had found an excuse, and ran to the bathroom as if escaping, "Well, I'm very dirty; I'm going to take a shower first!"

Diana was left standing alone in the living room, the bright moonlight streaming in through the window making her look a little lonely at that moment.

Snap!

After closing the bathroom door tightly, Mike leaned against it and breathed a sigh of relief.

If you suddenly find out that your only relative is not human, most people probably wouldn't be able to bear it, right?

Perhaps because he was a reincarnated being, Mike didn't feel anything about it. Even if she wasn't human, his aunt was still his aunt, and this recognition in his heart had never wavered.

However, perhaps because his aunt saw him wearing women's clothes, or because he had done something wrong, or because he had concealed something from her, Mike suddenly didn't know how to face Diana.

So, Mike chose to escape, temporarily.

After all, he's just a child.

Mike used this so-called reason to comfort himself, took off all his dirty and wet clothes, turned on the hot water switch in the bathtub, and almost collapsed in the fairly spacious tub.

Although the extraordinary power had completely left his body, the residual strength from the previous fight with Abomination, as well as the fatigue and damage accumulated in his body, still existed.

As boiling hot water was poured into the bathtub, hot and humid steam filled the bathing room. Mike, who was soaking in the hot water, let out a breath, and the tense heartstrings in his heart finally relaxed.

He picked up a wet towel, placed it on his aching forehead, closed his eyes, and lay back in the bathtub.

Just as Mike was clearing his mind and thoughts, there was a knock on the bathroom door.

"Aunt, just put the clothes you want to change outside the door." Mike did not open his eyes and lay motionless in the tub.

There was no sound coming from behind the bathroom door, but the next moment, the door suddenly opened with a click!

"No need to bring it in specially." Mike said, glancing at the door. This glance made him completely stunned.

The person who opened the door and entered the bathroom was naturally his aunt.

But, but!

At this moment, his aunt was no longer wearing the Golden Eagle Armor. She held her fluffy and beautiful hair with one hand and gently grasped a white bath towel with her right hand.

The bath towel hung from her chest to her legs, as if covering something, yet also as if covering nothing at all.

In the hazy water vapor.

Mike saw a beauty that could not be matched by any work of art, a beauty better than a clean white bath towel, like the white scenery lightly covering the Alpine hills in winter.

At that moment, Mike suddenly remembered a legend.

In Greek mythology, Athena was blessed by the gods with all the best blessings—beauty, strength, wisdom, and honesty!

The beauty before our eyes could perhaps only be shaped by the gods in legend.

Although he didn't know how many times he had seen it, Mike was still stunned for a moment. After coming to his senses, he quickly used the towel on his forehead to cover his crotch.

"From childhood to adulthood, what's so good about it?" Diana didn't know whether she was talking about herself or Mike. She closed the door again and walked into the bathroom barefoot.

"Aunt, why did you come in?" Mike stuttered a little.

Diana didn't answer but walked slowly to the front of the bathtub and said softly, "Turn around and make some room."

"Okay, okay!" Mike almost subconsciously hugged his legs, turned around, and sat in a corner of the bathtub.

Before he could comprehend the situation, with a loud splash, the bathtub, which was already full of water, overflowed to half a person's capacity.

The shower room was filled with steam, and it was so quiet that you could hear the tiny sound of water drops dripping from the faucet hitting the water.

'It turns out that the bathtub in our home is so small?'

Mike couldn't help but have such a thought. After his aunt entered the corner of the bathtub behind him, a white and delicate long leg stretched straight from the side of his waist, and in the hazy steam and warm water beside it, it looked like a top-grade ivory work of art.

The sexy and attractive black hair cascaded down like a waterfall over her shoulders and onto the water's surface.

Diana's heroic eyebrows relaxed slightly. Since the bathtub was a bit crowded with two people, her other leg could only be slightly bent and pressed against her chest. Despite this, Mike could still feel her back touching her knees, separating, and then pressing against them from time to time.

Mike clearly smelled a beautiful scent like violets, which did not come from any kind of shower gel or shampoo in the bathroom but was unique to one person.

Behind him, his aunt's calm voice suddenly came, "Remember, how long has it been since I gave you a bath?"

"We stopped bathing together when I was ten." Mike realized that he seemed to be looked down upon again and couldn't help but mutter, "Don't always treat me as a child. I'm sixteen now. According to the local laws of Washington State, I am of legal age to get married."

"Yes, it's been sixteen years. Time has passed so quickly." Diana said softly.

Mike was silent, trying his best to empty his mind.

He really didn't want this tender moment to be ruined by some physical instinct.

When he was ten years old, Mike took the initiative to propose to take a bath alone from now on. This was also out of self-restraint, fearing that his emotions would deteriorate in the face of perfect things.

If that situation really happens, it would be the greatest blasphemy for Mike in both his lifetimes.

But he didn't expect it.

Diana would take the initiative to suggest, "Then I'll give you a bath after a long time."

"Yeah." Mike responded subconsciously, his mind empty. He quickly realized the meaning of the words, "Hmm?!"

"Close your eyes." Diana urged.

Mike opened his mouth and could only close his eyes.

He could faintly hear the sound of pressing the shower bottle, and then a pair of cool hands with shower gel were placed on his head, gently rubbing it with warm water.

The foam gradually spread over his hands and hair, and the tingling sensation on his head like an electric shock made Mike begin to enjoy this incomparably luxurious treatment.

As Diana washed Mike's hair, her beautiful eyes and face revealed an unprecedented tenderness as she softly narrated, "When I was a child, whenever I got covered in mud, my master, who is also my aunt, would often wash my hair like this."

"Aunt's master?"

When Mike heard his aunt talking about her childhood for the first time, he couldn't help but open his eyes, but was stung by the foam falling on his head.

"I told you to close your eyes." Although Diana said this, she immediately moved closer and scooped up clean water in her hands to wash Mike's eyes.

Mike vaguely saw a half arc of hills that were more stunningly beautiful than the snow-white end of the Alps and quickly closed his eyes again.

"Yes, my master, she and my mother all live in a place called Paradise Island." Diana continued, "There is a barrier left by Zeus, the king of the gods, and it has been isolated from the outside world for thousands of years. We, the Amazons, live on Paradise Island."

Calm and ordinary.

While Diana was gently washing Mike's hair, it was as if she were telling a very ordinary story.

Mike had never expected that he would hear those shocking secrets left by the ancient Greek gods in such an informal setting as the bathroom.

Diana continued, "I was originally a princess of the Amazon tribe and was always well cared for by my mother and master. Until one day, a fighter plane crashed into the sea near Paradise Island. I left Paradise Island and came to the outside world, which is the world here. At that time, mankind was in the First World War."

"Later, I discovered that the God of War Ares was behind the world war. So, I participated in that cruel war that was a catastrophe for mankind."

Next, Diana not only talked about her origins and background but also her experience of participating in World War I under the name of "Wonder Woman" and her final choice to stay in the human world.

From initially admiring humans to being utterly disappointed with them.

As a demigod, she hid herself as an ordinary person and lived in human cities for nearly a century.

Without missing a single detail, Diana looked natural, as if she were imparting common sense to children at home.

Those myths and legends that are beyond the reach of humans have now become family matters that can be easily discussed at night.

Wonder Woman? A princess of the clan? Daughter of Zeus?

Mike was stunned. He didn't expect that his aunt had such a profound identity and background.

If Zeus were still alive and saw what was happening in the bathroom, would he not strike him with lightning?

Mike couldn't help but think.

After explaining her background and experience in the world, Diana said with a slightly complicated look in her eyes, "I believe you know it. The woman in the old photo with the background of World War I that you saw this morning is indeed me. As for my identity, I actually wanted to keep it from you until you turned eighteen. I didn't mean to deceive you."

"I know, Aunt." Mike exhaled and said, "You have been protecting me and preventing me from being harmed by extraordinary things for sixteen years."

Diana paused for a moment while rubbing Mike's hair and asked, "Aren't you angry or scared about this?"

"Why should I be angry, and why should I be afraid?" Mike shook his head and said with a smile, "Even if my aunt suddenly said that I am actually a demon, a Yashika-sama or something like that and wanted to eat me, I would willingly accept it. What's more, Aunt, you are actually the descendant of the legendary gods!"

"I can live with the beautiful goddess and superhero for such a long time, and I get the private treatment of taking a shower. Why should I be angry or afraid?" Mike let himself go and danced with joy, causing water to splash everywhere.

"What goddess, what superhero, calm down." Diana knocked on Mike's head and said angrily, "Call me Auntie!"

"Yes, yes, Auntie." Mike covered his head with a slight pain. Then, he and Diana both smiled knowingly.

The stalemate and estrangement between the two of them completely melted away at this moment. Instead, there was harmony and tacit understanding, with each of them always thinking of the other.

Diana suddenly pinched Mike's ears with her slender fingers and said, "By the way, tell me the truth about you wearing my clothes and running outside to fight the green monster."

"Please let me go, I was just about to say it!"

Mike raised his hands to beg for mercy and organized his words a little, "Actually, a week ago, I accidentally awakened a certain superpower. I call it - 'Lord of the Dependents.'"

Without hiding anything from his aunt, Mike reported truthfully what he knew about his abilities.

"By having close contact with the opposite sex and exchanging 'fluids,' you can master the other person's abilities?" Diana frowned, with a hint of understanding in her eyes, "So that's how it is. You triggered this ability when you were having dinner with me."

"Yes." Mike smiled bitterly, "Even I didn't expect that a used water cup as a medium could trigger abilities."

"The main thing is that you and I have exchanged fluids with each other, which should be the most critical point." Diana's eyes flashed with wisdom, and she said with even more surprise, "This superpower seems to be subject to the law of cause and effect. However, it can even control the bloodline ability of God..."

Diana thought of the wishing stone she had encountered before. Only the holy objects left by the gods could have such extraordinary effects.

However, although Mike's ability has a time limit, it has no negative effects and does not require any cost!

Diana thought of a lot at once, her beautiful eyes lit up slightly, and she muttered to herself inexplicably, "I said I would give you the opportunity to choose which path to take in the future. I didn't expect that you really have such conditions to choose."
