The Culprit Behind the Alien Invasion

"Are you done talking?"

Kino said with a forced smile.

"Not yet, I... cough cough, this is all I have for now."

Xiaoyu suddenly realized something and immediately returned to normal.

"Then let me settle your accounts."

"What debt?"

Xiaoyu was confused.

"You infiltrated the Demon Group without authorization, attempting to steal vital secrets. Your crimes are heinous. However, considering your young age and lack of understanding, a compensation of 10 million will suffice."

"10 million!"

Xiaoyu was startled.

Penny and Nina panicked as well.

"If I don't have the money, I'll have no choice but to send your parents to prison, and then..."

Kino hadn't finished speaking.

Then came two cries.

"I'm sorry, please don't send Mom and Dad to prison."

"I have the money; I can pay it back slowly."

Penny and Nina were so frightened they cried.

"Then I'll give you this, see how much it's worth."

In her haste, Xiaoyu shoved the Crystal skull into Kino's hand, but in her haste, she fell from the sky and landed on her bottom.

"This won't do, this is mine."

Kino tossed the Crystal skull around; it was something he'd gotten from Odin's Vault, but he didn't know how Xiaoyu had used it.

"Then I can pay you back slowly, please don't send Mom and Dad to jail, okay?"

Xiaoyu got up from the ground, tears welling in her eyes, and tugged at Kino's trouser leg, looking pitiful.

"But... alright, I'll let it go this time. But if you misbehave again, you'll only see your parents in jail."

Kino wanted to scare them a little more, but sensing Pamela's dangerous gaze, he changed his mind.

"Don't cry, don't cry, it's okay."

Venom picked up Penny, who was crying Shang-Chi.

"Don't be naughty next time."

Pamela picked up Nina, knowing that Kino was deliberately trying to scare them.

These kids have really gotten a bit too cocky lately, daring to infiltrate the Demon Group. If we don't stop them now, who knows what kind of trouble they'll cause in the future.

Once the little ones stopped crying, Kino asked, "Tell me how you started this thing."

They simply collected all the treasures without thoroughly inspecting them.

"This isn't a toy, it's my head."

Xiaoyu muttered.

"Huh? Your head is perfectly fine on your head."

"Kino said."

"It's my brain from my past life."

Xiaoyu explained, raising her hand. The Crystal skull in her hand instantly unleashed divine power, creating a wondrous resonance with her.

"Young Master, let me explain."

Xi stepped forward.

When the four little ones appeared in Hell, it was Xi who was in charge of taking them along.

At that moment, a skull burst forth from the treasure vault with powerful divine force, heading straight for Xiaoyu.

However, Xi stopped her, noticing a remnant soul of a deity inside. Xi devoured the soul and learned the deity's identity: the Goddess Maya.

Xi also sensed the exact same aura in Xiaoyu's soul, confirming that Xiaoyu was the reincarnation of a god.

"How did this thing get into Odin's vault?"

Kino asked, puzzled.

"After the Maya pantheon was destroyed, the remaining relics and artifacts were each seized by Odin and Zeus."

The Crystal skull is the head of the Earth Mother Goddess, originally intended as a backup plan for her resurrection, but Odin imprisoned it in his treasury.

Xi recounted scenes from her memory.

This is why the soul of the Earth Mother Goddess has never been resurrected despite being reincarnated on Earth.

"Xiaoyu, what do you think?"

"Kino asked."

"What do you mean, 'what do you think'? I'm Chen Xiaoyu, an Earthling. To me, 'Earth Mother Goddess' is just a cool title."

Xiaoyu didn't care at all.

Although she had some memories of the Earth Mother Goddess, they were more like watching a movie, and the kind of movie that was incredibly boring.

Sacrifice, bloodshed, enslavement... I felt no connection to it whatsoever.

The only thing I'm sad about is losing the superpowers I just gained.

"For you."

A Crystal skull landed in Xiaoyu's arms.

Xiaoyu was slightly taken aback.

"For me?"

"Well, there's one condition: if you dare to misuse your superpowers, you'll have to do homework for the rest of your life."

The main problem is that this thing is Xiaoyu's head, and Kino feels a bit uncomfortable if he uses it.

"Okay! Brother Kino."

Xiaoyu cheered and jumped for joy, holding up the Crystal skull.

She has superpowers.

"Xiaoyu has superpowers too."

Nina wiped away her tears and jumped and skipped along with Xiaoyu, happy to have a friend with superpowers like her.

I want superpowers too.

Penny watched longingly.

I wonder how old I'll have to be before I get the same superpowers as my dad.

Sitting in the security room, Flint had no idea that his daughter would remember the words he had used to comfort her.

Several days later

New York streets.

All streets have been repaired.

The style is quite different from the past, with a solemn and dignified decor, and some streets resemble the legendary holy city.

However, the image on it is no longer a god, but a demon.

New York residents had little to say about this and were even quite pleased.

After all, the devil can bring tangible benefits, while God cannot.

This country has completely abandoned its faith in God.

Pedestrians came and went.

Heading towards a certain place.

Today is the day of judgment, the day to judge the culprits of the alien invasion.

Along the way, people would nod and greet anyone who wore a badge on their chest, and if they encountered a war hero, they would excitedly go up to ask for an autograph.

"It's the Iceman."

"And the Pyro."

The onlookers cheered.

John responded to each one with a friendly smile.

He liked this feeling.

Bobby next to her looked tired, but still managed to force a smile.

"Pyro, between you and Iceman, who's the top and who's the bottom?"

"Keep going, we support you. Same-sex love is true love."

The cheers from the fans made John's smile freeze.

They'll kill that Ice Brain sooner or later!

Wait until you enter the venue.

"Ice Brain, what's with that smile? That's not how the instructor taught us."

John feigned concern and asked, though he knew perfectly well why he was doing this—it was revenge.

Before Bobby could speak, a petite figure jumped onto his back.

"Bobby!"

"Anna? What are you doing here?"

Bobby was somewhat surprised.

"Because my mom is one of the investors in this venue."

For the first time, Anna felt that her mother's identity was somewhat useful.

"Bobby, come here quickly, I found you a great spot with a view of the whole venue."

Anna pulled the Iceman away.

"Anna, I still have friends here."

Bobby wanted to politely decline.

"It's okay, Bobby, you go ahead, don't worry about me."

John said with a smile.

"Thank you, Pyro. Let's go, Bobby."

Bobby could only be dragged along.

John took a picture and posted it to the Mutants group.

One by one, those who had been diving came to the surface.

Who do you think Bobby will choose?

"Is that even a guess? It has to be Kelly. Choosing Anna would be Deadman."

"She won't die. Bobby's abilities are quite good; she'll probably be used as research material."

"Can't we choose together?"

"..."

"..."

"..."

The following is a series of ellipses.

"Ollon, come to my office after the conference." -Professor X

"Yes..."

John shook his head and put away his phone. "Idiot, even if you really have that thought, you can't just say it out loud."
