Island.

100 meters is less, and it is full of yellow sand.

The waves are surging and the birds are circling.

A lone coconut tree stands in the middle of the island, its broad leaves filled with resting seabirds staring intently at the bottom of the tree.

The boy sat cross-legged, the short dagger in his hand that condensed with light energy inserted into the metal box.

Gently turn and wrap around, and the box is separated from top to bottom.

Peeling back the shell, inside is a boxy, six-sided smooth black cube.

Although, from the outside, it's unremarkable.

However, as he approached now, Ryan could already feel the surging energy that filled his core.

The mother box is a scientific and technological creation.

It is a source of energy, and at the same time, it can also be thought of as a computer.

It is very complex and powerful (Note 1).

Ryan took a deep breath.

There was silence for a long time.

Ryan stretched out his index finger, and the light of his fingertips shone as he slowly approached the corner of the mother box.

When there was a cold touch on the fingertips, the mother box immediately began to change.

The mirror-smooth surface suddenly shook, and smaller cubes cracked apart, undulating like waves.

Between the cracks, a strong light burst out.

Ryan's heart moved, and the light energy quickly poured out and enveloped the mother box, and all the energy released by it was channeled into his body in one go.

The unabsorbable xenomorph energy was channeled into a dark dust that Ryan had chosen from the vast sea of stars.

The light shield is constantly raised, indicating that the energy inside is tumbling endlessly.

The powerful force slammed into the light energy, and it shook Ryan's body, causing his face to quickly turn pale.

The fangs poked out unconsciously, and the black hair was dyed with a blood-red halo.

The yellow sand on the island was also trembling, and the abnormal fluctuations seeped into the ocean and slowly spread to the bottom of the sea.

Ryan put his hands together, and the surging and sloping light energy that seemed to open the floodgates trapped the mother box firmly.

Through every ray of light, he could even clearly feel the movement of each mother box particle, the light energy continued to seep in, and the cube that could be infinitely split was shaped like a huge universe, and the core composed of vast energy and countless magical abilities was distributed in each cube.

Divide but not disperse, split but not dissolve.

It is a unique creation that belongs to the gods, and their technology is no different from true divine art in the face of human knowledge.

Ryan tried to inject light energy into it, hoping to control the mother box and even completely infiltrate it into his own personal belongings.

However, the light energy he injected into it was like a mud cow entering the sea, and it was instantly unresponsive, and his control of the light energy was also cut off.

After successive failed attempts, Ryan could only blame himself for this phenomenon, so he turned his head and blocked the energy of the mother box with light energy, and continued to light up the stardust.

Beads of sweat oozed from his forehead.

With his current strength, he is still a little reluctant.

The mother box is much more restless and dangerous than the rough stone.

Stardust lights up quickly.

Bang!

The surface of the sea suddenly exploded, and countless splashes flew up one after another.

When the water fell, a figure appeared on the shore not far away.

With deep red hair, smart eyes, and a childish appearance, the clothes that cling to the body have already outlined the concave and convex lines.

Ryan glanced at it, raised his eyebrows slightly, and then withdrew his gaze.

She stood there and watched, with curiosity and wariness in her eyes. She stared at the large, unrestful milky white light for a long time, and then her gaze slowly moved up and landed on Ryan's face.

A drop of sparkling sweat slipped down its forehead, and when it reached the corner of its eye, it suddenly turned mischievously, and it was about to flow into Ryan's eyes.

With a slight movement of her fingers, the beads of sweat immediately flowed backwards, and even with it, the sweat on her head was detached from her forehead.

Ryan again

He looked at her, then nodded slightly.

She smiled brightly and took a step.

Coming to Ryan's side, she crouched down and whispered, "What are you doing?"

"Play."

"Huh?" She raised her eyebrows in confusion, pointed to the ball of light and asked, "What is this?"

"Light."

"You seem tired."

"Yes."

"That...... Shall I stop talking?"

"Hmm."

Then, she really didn't say a word, just followed Ryan's example and sat on the sand.

In Lane's body, the light of stardust was about to reach its peak.

Once again, the near-infinite image flashed rapidly in Ryan's mind.

Laughing bats, dawn lanterns, drowning resentful spirits......

Black Super President, Injustice Superman......

Lightning shuttles, the universe restarts......

The green light rises, the black light falls......

Shazam, Green Arrow, Batgirl, Lucifer, Black Adam, Konstantin......

Scene after scene, a person, constantly jumping at a very fast speed.

Until the final golden light bursts, and the picture freezes instantly.

The light energy gradually converged, and the mother box quickly calmed down.

Moment.

Ryan looked up, just in time for those watery eyes.

"My name is Mela, what about you?"

"Ryan."

Mela pointed to the mother box that was lying quietly on the ground at the moment, and said, "You don't seem to be from the land."

"I am."

"And you're a magician?"

Ryan paused and nodded slightly, "Sort of."

Mela laughed, and with a wave of her hand, a clear stream of water rose in the ocean, obediently obeying Mela's command, circling and dancing around Ryan.

Seeing this, Ryan turned his index finger slightly, and the direction of the water around him changed, and he swam towards Mela.

So, a sparkling water ribbon swam around the two of them in a figure of 8.

"Will you?" Mela was surprised, even a little surprised.

Ryan chuckled, "Magic."

Mela blinked, manipulating the water to fit close to Ryan's skin, taking away all the sweat without leaving a single stain.

"Thank you." Ryan stood up with the mother box in his arms.

Mela followed, "Are you leaving?"

"Well, almost."

"Well......" she hesitated before she said, "Where do you live?"

"Gotham."

"I know that city!" "There's always all sorts of garbage and sewage dumping into the ocean, but the most annoying thing is the corpses of people on land."

Gotham's reputation is really not small.

Even with it, Mela's gaze at him changed slightly.

"It's going to change." Ryan said.

Mela shook her head, "It's been hundreds of years, and it hasn't changed."

"It's different now." Ryan looked at her hair.

"What's the difference?"

"Now, there's me."

Mela wrinkled her nose and looked at her suspiciously, "Are you sure you can? Are you going to change it with the power of magic?"

"Magic is not everything, people are. Are you an Atlantea?"

"Yes. You know magic, and you know Atlantis."

"I've heard of it."

Mela nodded, and after a few words before turning slightly, "Then I'll go first, and I'll thank you if you can make that city throw less garbage and corpses into the ocean."

"I remember."

She smiled and plunged into the sea.

Close to the shoreline, Ryan soars above the clouds

On top of that, turn on your phone and it soon starts ringing.

It took a while for a lot of missed calls and text messages to subside.

In less than two days, Serena made a lot of phone calls and sent a lot of messages, followed by one for Alfred every morning, one in the evening, and one text message.

Selena:

[Have you seen the news, a dried corpse has appeared in Gotham!] 】

[Reappeared, still a homeless man, everyone said there were vampires.] 】

[I saw the news of the disappearance of the body in a small newspaper.] 】

[He was photographed! It's scary! 】

[Why don't you turn it on yet, you won't have an accident, right?] 】

[If you don't reply to me, I'm going to run away with your money, I'm serious! 】

[Alfred told me that the vampire went to Wayne Manor, but was repelled by the weapons he had set up in advance, I watched the video, and it was disgusting, he had a hand broken.] 】

[He reappeared, this time killing three people.] 】

"I think no matter what you're doing, it's time for you to come back.] 】

Alfred:

[Dear Mr. Lee, I don't know if you have heard the recent news, the body of the murderer announced by the police department is missing, and at the same time a monster appeared in Gotham, he tried to invade Wayne Manor last night and was repelled by me, if you see the news, please call me back, I want to discuss with you about how to clean up this 'evil creature'. Bruce and I have agreed to pay you handsomely, and it's a thank you, not a deal. 】

Or Alfred can talk.

But.

Ryan frowned, he didn't expect Mario to do so much in such a short time after resurrection, wasn't he afraid of dying again?

Half of the resurrection comes from his kind reminder to Ryan, and the other half is because he has a different daughter.

It is no exaggeration to say that getting Ryan's blood and resurrecting it is definitely the greatest opportunity Mario has ever encountered.

But if he thought he could do whatever he wanted in Gotham now, he was very wrong.

There's no way Ryan himself could spare him.

After thinking about it, he replied to the messages separately.

To Selina: [I'm busy, so I didn't turn it on, I'll deal with it, someone will send money later, you remember to accept it.] Also, don't make that many calls unless you're dying. 】

To Alfred: [No need to discuss, I'll deal with it.] Give the money to the kittens. 】

When the message was sent, Ryan's eyes were slightly condensed.

In his field of vision, with the mobile phone as the source, a chaotic color of light bloomed for a moment.

It came and went so fast that it made Ryan feel like an illusion.

The next moment.

Another flash of light flashed.

Ryan watched as it connected to his phone.

Instantly, the phone vibrates.

Selina: [How much?] 】

Alfred: Thank you for your efforts. 】

Ryan stepped on the cloud, paused for a moment, his eyes went back and forth between the phone and the mother box.

The sun shone brightly in the sky, and the wings of light behind him became more and more condensed.

In a moment, he suddenly accelerated, and the sky immediately exploded, and a ring of clouds suddenly appeared around him.
