After settling everything, he gave a dashing wave toward the Skyline Television Station helicopter.

Then he shot into the sky again. The six wings behind him spread wide, kicking up a deafening sonic boom cloud as he vanished from everyone's sight in an instant.

Seeing this, the female TV host's eyes practically turned into hearts.

Her eyes shining, she screamed:

"Ahh, the Angel waved at me! He's so handsome!"

The cameraman could not help but remark:

"Is it possible he was waving at the camera?"

Like a storm, footage from the live broadcast was swiftly rebroadcast by major television stations.

The impact of this battle was like a massive boulder thrown into a placid lake, causing an enormous uproar across the world.

People marveled at the mysterious Angel's immense strength, and discussions about him instantly filled every corner.

Two seconds later, Lu Xi landed steadily in his own yard.

Daisy, excited as a cheerful little bird, immediately rushed out to greet him and shouted:

"Lord Lucifer, you looked so cool on TV! Those moves just now were absolutely awesome!"

Lu Xi replied with a smile:

"Of course. When I step in, it is naturally an easy victory."

Wanda and Pietro followed Daisy out as well, their eyes filled with reverence as they looked at Lu Xi.

Although they had known before that Lord Lucifer was probably very powerful,

only after witnessing those shocking scenes on television did they gain a deeper understanding of Lu Xi's strength.

Wanda stared fixedly at the feathers behind Lu Xi, her gaze full of curiosity and amazement.

When she had come earlier, Lu Xi had already retracted his wings. This was the first time she had seen such a magnificent sight.

Seeing this, Lu Xi raised an eyebrow and asked with interest:

"What are you looking at, Wanda?"

Wanda's face reddened slightly. After hesitating for a moment, she gathered her courage and said:

"My lord, I feel that every one of your feathers contains an incredibly vast amount of energy, as though each one held a little world."

Upon hearing this, a flash of inspiration suddenly struck Lu Xi.

He remembered reading Journey to the West before, where the Monkey King could blow on his monkey hairs to create clones.

Could his own feathers perhaps have some special effect as well?

As soon as the thought occurred to him, he acted on it. He immediately spread his wings, brought one wing before himself, grabbed a feather, and yanked it out hard.

"Hiss!"

Lu Xi could not help sucking in a sharp breath. It hurt.

This was the first time since coming to the Marvel Universe that he had felt pain so clearly.

The sensation was like when he had been an ordinary person and had forcibly torn out a leg hair.

After the feather was pulled out, something miraculous happened: a new feather immediately grew from the wing, perfectly filling the vacant spot.

Holding the feather, Lu Xi first examined it carefully with his senses.

He discovered that removing this one feather was like taking a single drop of water from the vast ocean of energy within him.

The effect on his own strength could not merely be called negligible; there was simply none at all.

Then he turned his gaze to the feather in his hand.

By now, Daisy, Wanda, and Pietro could no longer suppress their curiosity.

They pressed their heads close together, staring intensely at the feather as though they wanted to see right through it.

The feather emitted a faint glow, like a brilliant star captured in a palm, its radiance soft yet deeply alluring.

Lu Xi's heart stirred, and he experimentally blew gently on the feather.

Yet the feather continued lying quietly in his palm. Nothing happened.

He could not help feeling disappointed. It seemed the idea of creating clones from feathers would not work.

Just then, Daisy curiously extended a finger and cautiously poked the feather.

In an instant, something strange happened!

As though some mysterious mechanism had been triggered, the feather suddenly released a dazzling white light.

The light flashed like lightning, transforming directly into a streak that shot into Daisy's chest with a whoosh.

"Huh?"

Lu Xi let out a surprised cry, a trace of curiosity flashing through his eyes.

He instantly released his sensory power without reservation, thoroughly scanning Daisy from head to toe.

From his special perspective, he clearly saw the Divine Power he had previously left behind still lingering within Daisy.

The feather had resonated with that Divine Power, which was why it had fused into her body.

After merging with her, the feather immediately turned into an incomparably pure stream of energy.

Like a guide, it drove the Divine Power that had remained in Daisy's body to begin circulating in an extremely unique and specific manner.

Then something even more astonishing happened.

"Bang!"

A pair of snow-white wings suddenly grew from Daisy's back.

The sudden sound gave Daisy quite a fright.

She instinctively turned to look behind herself. Once she discovered the wondrous change on her back, the fear in her eyes instantly turned into excitement.

She looked at Lu Xi eagerly and asked impatiently:

"Lord Lucifer, have I... become an Angel too?"

With a thoughtful look on his face, Lu Xi said:

"Uh... I suppose so."

He could very clearly sense that a closer connection had now formed between Daisy and himself, one with a distinct master-and-servant hierarchy.

It immediately reminded him of a relationship from certain myths and legends—God's retainer!

Standing nearby, Wanda and Pietro were already so shocked that their mouths hung open, their eyes wide as though they had seen something unimaginable.

As far as they knew, were Angels not supposed to be creatures created by God?

Yet Lord Lucifer before them possessed such a miraculous ability too?

Daisy had no time to care about their surprise. She was so excited that she began hopping around in place.

Every jump sent her a full three meters into the air—three actual meters!

With one forceful leap, she jumped directly to the height of the villa's second floor.

Then, as if driven by instinct, she flapped the pair of white wings on her back and actually began to rise slowly, hovering in the air.

"Woohoo~ I can fly too!"

Daisy cheered excitedly as she enthusiastically flew several circles around the villa.

Her joyful appearance was like that of a little bird that had just learned how to fly.

It was quite a while before she finally landed, still wanting more.

Watching the ecstatic Daisy, Lu Xi smiled and said:

"Come on. Let's go to the second-floor gym. I'll help you test these newly gained abilities."

He normally had no use for this gym himself. He had not expected it to finally come in handy today.

Everyone went to the gym on the villa's second floor. It was spacious and filled with all kinds of exercise equipment.

Lu Xi first had Daisy try lifting a heavy barbell.

Daisy easily raised the barbell with one hand, a relaxed smile still on her face.

Lu Xi nodded and had her try pushing a massive sandbag.

Daisy stepped forward and shoved it with force. The sandbag flew out like a cannonball and smashed straight through a wall.

After a series of tests, Lu Xi found that her physical abilities had at least reached the level of a weakened Captain America.

Her strength could already be measured in tons, and her body was tough enough to withstand ordinary bullets.

In terms of strength and combat skills, Daisy was probably inferior to Captain America.

But in terms of defense, she might already surpass him—Captain America still needed a shield to block bullets.

Wanda and Pietro watched from the side, their eyes filled with envy.

At Daisy's current level, she had already far surpassed their own rather underwhelming superpowers.

Seeing their expressions, Lu Xi smiled and reassured them:

"Don't rush. You two have greater potential. Your opportunity to grow stronger simply hasn't arrived yet."

Hearing Lu Xi's words, Wanda and Pietro exchanged a glance, and sparks of hope ignited in their eyes.
