IMUC-Chapter 265 Return

The Northern Lights are a luminous phenomenon.

They typically occur at the Earth's northern and southern poles due to charged particles from the solar wind interacting with the Earth's magnetic field, creating a brilliant display of light in the night sky.

Kyle had never imagined that the blend of his divine fire power, along with Lorna's mutated Magnetic Field Manipulation, would create a natural luminescent phenomenon akin to the Northern Lights. It was an unforeseen and remarkable coincidence.

First, the Fire God's power required a divine being and innate fire attributes, something not even the likes of Thor, the God of Thunder, possessed.

Then, Lorna's Magnetic Field Manipulation, an advanced form of magnetic manipulation, required a very specific mutation of the X-Gene, an incredibly rare trait even among Mutants.

The probability of an individual possessing both these abilities and coming into direct contact with each other in the entire universe was practically zero.

Yet, here in a small bar called the Black Rose in Queens, New York, centered around Kyle and Lorna's joined hands, these two unique abilities came into contact. They blended together seamlessly, creating a dazzling and colorful aurora inside the bar.

"!" Lorna abruptly snapped out of her trance, as if she'd been shocked, and swiftly withdrew her right hand.

The brilliant display of the Northern Lights vanished in an instant, leaving the bar hall just as it was before.

Kyle cast a final glance at Lorna, waved casually, and signaled for Raina to follow him as he made his way to the bar's exit.

"Lorna. It's goodbye for now. I'll come by myself next time," Raina said before hurrying to catch up with Kyle.

Only after the two of them had left the bar did Lorna come to her senses. She nodded in self-reflection, staring strangely at her right hand, which still radiated a lingering warmth from the Fire God's power.

"What… What just happened? I've never felt anything like this before," Lorna muttered to herself, placing her hand over her heart. Her heartbeat was racing uncontrollably as if there were lingering side effects from their power interaction.

"What did that guy do to me?!" She felt her body heating up as if she longed to witness the Northern Lights once again.

As they exited the Black Rose Bar, Kyle contemplated the situation. He smiled faintly and said, "Your friend is not bad. You can get closer to her, maybe even bring her into one of the non-natural organizations."

"I know," Raina nodded with a happy expression on her face. She was happy that Boss had acknowledged Lorna's existence. Otherwise, she would never be able to genuinely and kindly treat Lorna. In this situation, their trip had been a success.

Raina watched Kyle's tall and sturdy back as they walked. For some reason, she thought, "As long as I can continue like this, following behind Boss, even if it's for a thousand or ten thousand years, it doesn't seem like such a big deal."

…

With this visit complete, Kyle fully immersed himself in Earth's life in the 21st century. He mainly focused on studying the practical applications of his Fire God power and the Divine Weapon, the Eternal Flame. He also occasionally checked on Tony Stark's improvements to the Iron Man suit and monitored non-natural phenomena worldwide.

At the same time, Bruce Banner had moved to New York. He was being closely tracked by elite SHIELD agents on a daily basis.

Moreover, during this week or two, the entire world was in turmoil.

Firstly, in an effort to leverage the power of the nation to find his old friend Bucky, the Winter Soldier, the legendary Captain America, Steve Rogers, officially came out of retirement to join the mysterious United Nations organization, SHIELD.

He, along with Black Widow and Hawkeye, embarked on missions all around the world as they executed SHIELD's secret operations under the codename Mission, tracking the remnants of the Hydra organization.

Another set of events took place.

Members of the Carl Family and the Zero Organization secretly mobilized to find the Winter Soldier's whereabouts. However, their actions accidentally stirred up turmoil in the underground world.

Countless ancient noble families and private organizations were left in confusion, as they strictly prohibited their members from going outside. People cowered in their homes, trembling with fear.

Apart from this, there were events occurring in secrecy, unbeknownst to most.

In a remote region of central Africa, amidst endless tropical grasslands, a large herd of cattle and sheep calmly drank water from a slightly dried-up pond. On the tall wild grass nearby, predators like lions and leopards lurked, waiting for an opportunity.

A majestic male lion silently approached, preparing for a sprint to catch its prey. But just as it was about to strike, it abruptly flicked its ear.

The lion raised its head with alertness and looked towards the sky. Its beastly, dark, ink-like eyes reflected a bright and fiery glow.

In the pristine blue sky, an Interstellar Spaceship was rapidly approaching!

As the spaceship sped through and pierced the atmosphere, its exterior started to ignite due to the friction, resembling a fireball hurtling toward the Earth's surface.

The distance between the spaceship and the grassland below rapidly shortened, ten thousand meters, five thousand meters, one thousand meters…

Countless cattle, sheep, and predators panicked and fled for their lives.

*BOOM!*

The Interstellar Spaceship crashed into the pond. The sheer force of the impact caused mud to splash into the air, flying several meters outwards.

Most of the spaceship embedded itself into the ground, extinguishing the flames. It hissed and sputtered as the small hatch towards the sky suddenly opened.

Amidst the rolling smoke, a tall, burly extraterrestrial man crawled out of the hatch. He stood on top of the crashed spaceship, gazing around the tropical grasslands, slightly bewildered.

"Is this… Earth?"

The extraterrestrial man muttered to himself. His eyes, as dark as ink, expressed a different kind of emotion. He clenched his fist nervously.

After leaving the time-space wormhole of Planet Sakaar, he had roamed the human world in the cosmos for a total of twenty-six years. Along the way, he had changed host forms countless times, traversed the Milky Way, and stumbled his way here.

Earth, the place that had lingered in his memories.

"I hope that I can find what I've been searching for in my memories here."

The extraterrestrial man took a deep breath, jumped down from the Interstellar Spaceship, and crouched beside the remaining half of the pond. The mud was bubbling like crazy.

He reached out his hand lightning-quick and grabbed a slimy, mud-covered fish that was struggling in his grip.

The extraterrestrial man licked his lips. His stomach growled, and without caring about the mud and dirt on the fish, he shoved it into his mouth, eating it raw with relish.

Not far from behind in the tall grass, a male lion silently approached, its eyes intently focused on the man's back.

It sprang forward with incredible speed, like an arrow released from a bowstring, and a gust of wind flattened the grass. The lion was swift and agile as it closed in on the man's neck from behind.

The extraterrestrial man remained still, engrossed in savoring the earthy taste of the raw fish. He was completely oblivious to the imminent danger.

The male lion opened its massive jaws and leaped towards the back of the man's neck. Just half a meter away from its prey, a sharp black spike abruptly protruded from the man's upper back.

*Roar!*

The lion let out a pained, wailing cry as the sharp, sturdy black spike pierced through its soft oral cavity, impaling its entire body like a skewer. Red blood flowed down the spike.

The extraterrestrial man wiped some mud from the corner of his mouth, picked up the lion's lifeless body from the spike, and bit a chunk out of the wound, getting a mouthful of fur and the metallic taste of blood.

"Ugh, this is terrible."

He spat it out, disgust evident in his expression. He threw the lion to the ground and kicked it a few times.

Unfortunately, the dominant ruler of the Earth's grasslands had accidentally encountered one of the most formidable lifeforms to return to Earth. Venom.
