Lin Xu was somewhat disappointed to see that the corpse's wings had disappeared. He had been hoping that this person could go to Heaven and help him pray to God, but it seemed that the chance was gone.

He then looked at the other angels in the bar. Clearly, none of the angels who could sneak in here were clean; their chances of going to Heaven to deliver a message were slim.

That damn Gabriel, he doesn't even know how to manage this place, all he thinks about is how to destroy the world and rebuild it.

"I wonder what brings this venerable deity to my humble shop?"

Seeing the tense atmosphere, Papa Midnite finally couldn't sit still any longer and quickly stepped in to smooth things over.

As for the rule that bars are neutral venues and physical violence is prohibited, that's just to restrain the weak; God is clearly not weak.

Lin Xu shook off the corpse from the spear, strode to the bar, and carefully examined the legendary wizard.

With the help of the Heavenly Eye's analysis, it was quickly determined that this person's strength was roughly stronger than Hamir's but weaker than Lao Wang's.

No wonder they were able to carve out a neutral zone in Los Angeles, a city teeming with both gods and demons; it would be absolutely impossible without considerable strength.

"Oh, I almost forgot, I came to see you."

As soon as Lin Xu said this, Papa Midnite's eyelids twitched instantly. Why was this devil coming to see him? He didn't think he had offended anyone recently.

Then, out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at Constantine, who was peeking in through the doorway.

Damn it... I knew getting involved with this kid would end badly.

"Please give your command, Your Majesty."

Have you seen this person before?

As he spoke, Lin Xu Heavenly Eyes lit up, and the figure of the man in black robes reappeared.

At Papa Midnite shakily picked up a pair of glasses, put them on, and then carefully examined the man in black.

"Your Excellency, are there other perspectives?"

"It's gone. What, don't you recognize it?"

"I can't recognize her without a face, but judging from her figure, she should be a woman."

Nonsense... anyone could see that.

It seemed that this attempt had been fruitless. Lin Xu had not gotten the answer he wanted, so he prepared to leave. However, at this moment, a demon stepped forward.

"Your... Your Majesty, I think I've seen her before..."

Upon hearing this, Lin Xu's eyes lit up instantly, and he quickly walked up to the person.

"Ah..."

"Sorry, I forgot~" Lin Xu noticed that charred marks were starting to appear on the demon's body, so he immediately withdrew his Heavenly Eye.

Pure White Magic is far too deadly for these low- to mid-level demons.

"Ahem, thirty years ago, this woman in black robes forced her way into the Rock of Eternity and stole a portion of the power of Hell. Many demon lords in Hell are searching for her, attempting to obtain that power."

Lin Xu immediately pressed on, "Is it the power of Beelzebub?"

"Yes."

It really was her. But she managed to escape Hell's pursuit for thirty years; she must have some skill.

Is there anything else?

"That's all... but I heard she called herself some kind of Furies."

Lin Xu:??? What are you talking about? That Furies who turned into a jewel?

Then he realized that the person was saying Erinyes, not Nemesis.

Although both are translated as the Furies, the former is a collective term for three goddesses, while the latter refers to an individual goddess.

However, it's clear that this person is neither Marvel's Furies nor the Furies of Greek mythology. The Old Gods are mortal enemies; they could never be loyal to Darkseid, let alone be so humble...

Lin Xu now regrets not reading more DC comics when he was with Marvel, so much so that he doesn't even know who Darkseid has under his command.

Moreover, he was quite certain that he had no impression of DC's Furies in his mind, not even with deep memory exploration.

Shaking his head, Lin Xu turned and walked towards the door.

Upon seeing this, both Papa Midnite and the angel and the demon breathed a sigh of relief.

That scourge is finally gone!

"By the way, I'll be staying in Los Angeles for a while. You know what to do next, but of course, I'd love for you to run into my line of fire..."

The demon, who had just been questioned, instantly mustered his courage. "May I ask your name, Your Excellency?"

Lin Xu stopped in his tracks. This time, he wasn't going to mention his Asgard name, since Odin here was too lame and lacked any prestige.

He glanced at his equipment and slowly uttered a single word.

"Vishanti!"

Constantine, who was hiding by the door, heard the name and immediately made a bold guess.

Seeing Lin Xu leave, he immediately stepped forward and asked, "Do you know Stan Lee?"

"Old man, we know that place very well."

Constantine suddenly realized.

Vishanti, Kamar-Taj, draw circles.

Indeed, Marvel Comics' magic system was created by Stan Lee. But why hadn't I heard of it before?

Seeing the other person's expression, Lin Xu tightly closed his lips and quickly left. He was afraid he wouldn't be able to hold it in any longer if he stayed any longer.

Kent Farm.

After dinner, Tony took Clark to the room to continue their tutoring session.

"Clark, do you know what we're going to learn today?"

Calculus.

"That's right. Qian once said, even the dumbest person can learn calculus by age 14. And you're different. I hope you can master it completely within a month."

"Okay, teacher."

Tony nodded in satisfaction...

Ten minutes later, Tony realized he had been too hasty in being satisfied.

He clearly learns everything after just one lesson, and his calculation speed is even more outrageous than JARVIS's, so why can't he apply what he's learned to other situations?

At that moment, a name came to his mind: humanoid computer.

But simply being able to calculate is clearly not enough. There are many computational geniuses in the world, and he believes he cannot surpass them in this area. However, science requires innovative thinking.

The breakthrough from zero to one is nothing compared to the leap from one to ten thousand.

Half an hour later, Tony rubbed his head and said, "Alright, that's enough for today."

Clark looked at Tony's expression, lowered his head, and walked out of the room. He saw a hint of disappointment in Tony's eyes, which filled the young boy's mind with great confusion.

Am I really that bad?

Inside the room, Tony knew this couldn't go on. He was determined to find a way to improve Clark's thinking abilities... If all else failed, he'd ask Lin Xu.

"He shouldn't keep making fun of me, right?"

Tony then threw himself onto the bed, picked up a comic book that Jonathan had brought back for him earlier that day when he went to town to buy seeds.

The 1991 version of "Infinity Gauntlet".

"Tsk, this Thanos is different from what Steve described. Why is he such a simp?"

"To Carnage the universe to please a goddess—what's the difference between that and being a madman?"

"Let me see myself? Holy crap, I'm dead? And who is Adam Warlock? He saved me?" (In the comics, Iron Man is killed by Thanos West Asia, and Adam Warlock retrieves the gauntlet and restores the universe.)

DC has the Heavenly Court, Erlang Shen, Nezha, the Bull Demon King, and Sun Wukong.

From the 2021 film * Monkey King *, but it's so bad I won't include it here.
