Becoming a Dad!

Inside the headquarters of the Special Response Department in Beichang City.

"Are you sure this will work?" Cui Man asked Xiao He in a low voice, while Xiao He shrugged at Sean Stanley in front of him. "Who knows? We'll just try anything, there's no better way right now."

In fact, Xiao He had previously tried using "Sean Stanley" as Trigger, but the triggered Superpower was a kind of hypnotic ability; in other words, he could make Sean believe that something existed or did not exist.

Originally, the hypnotic ability that Xiao He triggered could not solve the current situation, because it was not Sean who caused these Titan Creatures to appear. Xiao He had to find the culprit and hypnotize him in order to make these Titan Creatures disappear.

However, the current situation simply does not allow him to slowly search for the instigator. The impact of the incident covers the entire globe, causing massive economic losses and casualties every day.

Especially after the discovery of B Island and Switzerland, countries with strong environmental awareness, where the Titan Creatures have almost never launched attacks and have even helped civilians, environmentalists in various places began to march, demanding that governments enact environmental laws to reduce the attacks by these monsters.

However, the reality is that environmental protection comes at a high cost, and not every country can afford it.

Therefore, dealing with these Titan Creatures became an urgent matter, and it was at this time that Xiao He came up with a solution.

The creation of these monsters is similar to Sean's abilities, so why not make use of Sean's Superpower?

Sean's Superpower is that "what he believes to be real will become real," but he cannot make "what he believes to be false disappear."

Therefore, hypnotizing Sean won't make the existing Titan Creatures disappear. However, by using Sean's Superpower appropriately, it's possible to "overwrite" the existing Titan Creatures' settings.

If Xiao He could simply use his abilities to hypnotize Sean and convince him that these Titan Creatures weren't that aggressive, then Sean's Superpower could be activated to override the current Titan Creatures' settings and he could become a new Titan Creatures.

"What if a new batch of Titan Creatures spawns?" Ye Wanqing asked worriedly.

"Then let's just remove it again, since no one will know anyway." Xiao He shrugged.

So Xiao He then told Sean Stanley a story about "Titan Creatures," using pictures of Titan Creatures that had already appeared as examples, but describing Titan Creatures in a less ferocious way.

Compared to the monsters that only attack humans nowadays, these Titan Creatures would be much more tolerant.

Ideally, Titan Creatures would refrain from attacking as long as each country addresses its own environmental issues within its capabilities.

In this way, "Titan Creatures" can help monitor whether companies are secretly violating emission regulations, and at the same time, it can solve the current situation where Titan Creatures is attacking humans everywhere.

Of course, this method is only theoretically feasible.

Cui Man patted his shoulder to comfort him, "At least we've done what we can. As for whether this method will work... let's leave it to fate. If it doesn't work, then we'll just have to find the culprit."

The good news is that Xiao He's method did indeed work.

After the Titan Creatures' settings were "rewritten," their aggressiveness was significantly reduced, and the number of attacks occurring globally each day decreased dramatically.

The cunning ZB family also discovered a loophole through statistics: as long as a country takes enough environmental protection measures, even if some places are polluted, the Titan Creatures will not launch an attack, which indirectly promotes Xiao He's previous invention.

Whether it's the "Miracle Fruit" or "Plastic Decomposition," both have rapidly gained popularity: every country establishes Miracle Fruit farms and Plastic Decomposition plants within its borders as a "get-out-of-jail-free card" to avoid attacks from Titan Creatures.

Thus, humanity finally found a way to coexist with the Titan Creatures.

For a moment, the world seemed to return to calm, and no one bothered to investigate who was behind it.

The mastermind is currently standing on a street in London, in Y Country.

A man in a white suit and black shirt stood on the side of the street.

"Tsk, I didn't expect it to be taken care of so quickly... I was quite confident in dealing with these monsters, but it turns out they exploited a loophole in the system." Han Xin frowned and spat as he watched the news report on TV.

But he didn't pay much attention and continued walking forward, "Oh well, I've already harvested enough 'fear' this past week..."

Finally, he stopped in front of a cathedral.

Han Xin glanced at the church before him, a slight smile playing on his lips. He raised his hand, and a mask appeared in it. He calmly put on the mask before pushing open the church door and saying with a smile, "I've come to confess, Father."

He had barely stepped inside when a figure immediately came up and blocked his way.

"Hey, what's with that outfit?" Andre frowned at the man in the white suit in front of him. "Are you a member of the Dragon Country's Special Response Department? You're not welcome here!"

"Calm down, big boy." Han Xin turned to Andre and smiled. "The good news is, I'm not one of those hypocrites from the Special Response Department; the bad news is, I won't show you any mercy like Yinglong did. I... will kill you."

"You?" Andre's expression turned sinister, then he glared intently at Han Xin. "I don't know where you get your confidence from!"

Han Xin froze on the spot, seemingly mesmerized. Then, his body twitched, and another person identical to him separated from him. The newly separated Han Xin looked at his reflection, then turned to Andre and laughed, "These little tricks won't defeat me. I suggest you get serious."

"This is..." Andre was stunned for a moment, then his expression became serious. He looked around the small church, where there were many worshippers. Then he rushed out of the church window.

Han Xin followed calmly from behind, and they arrived on the main street.

"Don't you want to die in front of your beloved Heavenly Father?" Han Xin mocked.

"That's Jesus, you fool..." Andre sneered, then raised his hand towards Han Xin, and golden chains appeared out of thin air from all directions, binding Han Xin's body.

But Han Xin merely flicked the chains with his index finger, and they shattered instantly.

Andre then roared, "Eternal Burning Infernal Flame!"

Black flames appeared, but Han Xin's body suddenly became blurry, and the flames passed right through him. In the next instant, he was in front of Andre, raising his fist to punch Andre in the face.

As he watched the incoming punch, Andre vaguely saw the shadow of Yinglong.

He was going to die! The thought flashed through his mind.

But just as Han Xin's fist struck him, a ring of golden light emerged from the spot where he was hit, blocking the punch for him.

However, the punch shattered the light shield and still struck Andre's face.

"Pfft!" Andre's head exploded into a cloud of blood mist, and his headless body fell to the ground.

"Oh?" Han Xin turned his head to look to his left, and Father Raphael projected a large white feather at him.

Han Xin summoned Perfect Cube beside him to block the white wings.

"Hmph, the main character has appeared." Han Xin looked at Raphael in front of him and laughed.

Raphael merely glanced sideways at Andre beside him, then had Da Tian use the feathers behind him to revive him.

Andre, who had just been resurrected, immediately retreated, looking at Han Xin in fear. "You, you bastard, you're Yinglong, aren't you?! You just changed your clothes, right?!"

"What a convenient ability, it can even resurrect people," Han Xin said with interest, then turned to Raphael in front of him, "Hey, can you resurrect every guy I kill?"

"Only my followers are included, but unfortunately..." Raphael said, raising his hand to show what was behind him, "Everyone in this town is my follower. So today... you can't kill any of them."

"It doesn't matter, I'm not here to kill anyone," Han Xin said with a sinister grin, his voice filled with wild joy. "I'm just here to spread fear... Come, fear me, and then offer me tribute!"

Beichang City, Special Response Department Headquarters.

Today is Xiao He's monthly blood donation day. Currently, half of the blood Xiao He donates each month is used for research, and the other half is used to treat patients with ALS.

Because of Ripper Rick's Superpower, which allow him to accurately apply the Miracle Factor to the affected area, Xiao He's 100 milliliters of blood contains enough Miracle Factor to treat 4,000 ALS patients, thus shifting the problem away from Xiao He.

What's lacking now isn't the "Miracle Factor," but rather Ripper Rick's time: he can't possibly treat over a hundred ALS patients every day.

Of course, because this treatment plan is quite special, priority is given to ALS patients in Dragon Country, and patients with more severe symptoms are given priority in treatment.

In exchange, Xiao He's monthly blood draws must be handled by Ripper Rick. Furthermore, Ripper Rick must be involved in any medical experiments concerning the Miracle Factor and anything related to Xiao He.

Although Ripper Rick was a madman, his abilities were undeniably useful, so Xiao He agreed. Besides, with the codename "Lin Tiannan XX," he couldn't cause any trouble.

"Ah, Mr. Yinglong, it's that time of the month again to meet you," Ripper Rick said excitedly, then pounced on him, laughing maniacally, "Let me kill you today too!"

Xiao He used Mechanical Modification to mechanize his body, Ripper Rick's surgery ineffective. Then, Xiao He punched Rick on the head.

"Ugh!" Ripper Rick groaned and collapsed to the ground.

Xiao He sighed, grabbed his collar, and led him towards the infirmary. "You're only happy when you pull this stunt every month, as if you've ever succeeded."

"This...this is my love for you," Ripper Rick said with difficulty, climbing onto the bench and sitting down. He then adjusted his glasses and forced a smile. "Alright, let's begin this month's blood draw."

With that, Rick grabbed the special syringe and stuck it into Xiao He's wrist. "Ah~! It's in!"

"I truly admire myself for not killing you even now..." Xiao He sighed, rubbing his forehead.

"Because you need me, you know that," Rick said with a smile. "I will live on, and on the day you die, I will personally dissect your body!"

"Get lost," Xiao He frowned, but Rick's ability was indeed very useful. This ability was very special; as long as the conditions for a successful surgery were met, the surgery would definitely succeed. As long as the "conditions" were met, the corresponding "outcome" would definitely be obtained.

So even though he was crazy, Xiao He could tolerate him: perhaps one day he could save his family's life. After all, his parents would get old and have some illnesses, and this guy would come in handy then.

"Darling." At this moment, Cui Man pushed open the door of the infirmary and came in. "Oh, they're drawing blood."

"Yes," Xiao He sighed, resting his chin on his hand, "It's a monthly routine."

"Speaking of which," Cui Man said thoughtfully, arms crossed, "Do you remember Edward Keton? The one who provided the funding behind Raven. We investigated him and found out that the 'Ruiwen' in the arena was also sent by him."

"I already knew that... I just didn't have any evidence." Xiao He seemed unconcerned.

"The key point is that ever since we announced this special treatment for ALS, Edward Keton has been trying to curry favor with us," Cui Man said, sitting down beside us and crossing her legs. "He's been making all sorts of charitable investments, he's practically ready to write an immigration application."

"Is it because of his daughter's ALS?" Xiao He scoffed. "I suggest he just immigrate."

"It's hard to get into Country M Country, but it's even harder to get out," Cui Man sighed and laughed. "If you want to give up your M Country citizenship, they'll levy taxes under various pretexts to strip you bare, leaving you penniless."

"What use is he if he's penniless?" Xiao He rolled his eyes. "Anyway, you decide these things, Sister Man. What we need right now isn't the Miracle Factor."

"He's visiting our country next week to cut the ribbon for a new hotel he's investing in, and he's strongly requesting that Yinglong be there to protect him," Cui Man said with a smile.

"Does he deserve it?" Xiao He rolled his eyes.

"Actually... it's a good match, after all, he's the third richest person in the world. And... he said he would donate all the hotel's revenue to charity." Cui Man sighed, "So, let's give him face."

"Is that so? Alright then." Upon hearing that the proceeds would be donated, Xiao He's impression of this person improved somewhat: perhaps he was just a father driven mad by despair?

At this moment, Ye Wanqing pushed open the door and poked her little head in, smiling, "Old Xiao, shall we go have lunch together?"

But the next second, Ripper Rick suddenly screamed and lunged at Ye Wanqing: "Ahhh! It smells like Yinglong child! I need to take a sample from you!"

However, just as Rick lunged forward, Xiao He punched him in the face, sending him crashing through the wall behind him and falling to the other side, his body buried under the rubble.

"What's wrong with you...?" Xiao He frowned and said.

"What... what did he just say?" Ye Wanqing asked in surprise, covering her mouth.

"The scent of Yinglong's child." Cui Man repeated, then turned to Ye Wanqing and smiled, "Hmm? Could it be..." As she spoke, Cui Man touched Ye Wanqing's little head, "Has this one started its period?"

"No... but it's not time yet this month, last month's has already come." Ye Wanqing frowned.

Cui Man smiled, "Anyway, let's get tested when we get back today. It's been two months since your wedding, you should be pregnant by now."

Ye Wanqing blushed slightly, stole a glance at Xiao He, and nodded gently. "Mm..."

"No, it can't be wrong!" At that moment, Rick struggled to his feet from the rubble, laughing maniacally, "Please, please let me deliver the baby! Maybe I can keep the umbilical cord for research!?"

"Get out of here! I won't let a pervert like you deliver my wife's baby!" Xiao He said irritably.

"Please! I can sign a vow!" Rick said excitedly. "Think about it, I can perform a C-section on your wife and deliver the baby completely painlessly! I guarantee no other doctor can do that!"

This condition immediately tempted Xiao He: he was still concerned that Ye Wanqing would experience pain during childbirth, but could he really entrust his wife to this madman?

Obviously not...

"Will it leave a scar?" Ye Wanqing immediately asked.

"Absolutely not," Rick said emphatically. "I swear on my life that I will sign this Oathmark! If I break this oath, may I die instantly!"

Ye Wanqing's eyes gleamed. "Old Xiao! Let's agree!"

"But this guy has a dangerous aura about him..." Xiao He frowned.

"I only want the baby's umbilical cord for research," Rick smiled slightly. "Don't you want to know if the child inherited any of your abilities? Superpower or Miracle Factor, or something like that?"

"I don't care," Xiao He said expressionlessly.

"But I care!" Rick exclaimed excitedly. "You are the Zero Carrier of the Miracle Factor! And you also have the Zero AME Flu Virus in your body! If the Miracle Factor is hereditary, then if we can find a way to keep Miracle Factor in everyone's body, humanity can completely eradicate disease! This would be a huge leap forward for medicine!"

"Let me think about it..." Xiao He hesitated.

But Ye Wanqing smiled happily and said, "Say yes, Old Xiao! I've actually been very worried about the scarring from a C-section, so I was planning to have a natural birth. But natural birth is very painful... Now all the problems are solved!"

As she spoke, Ye Wanqing said coquettishly, "Please... husband~!"

"Sigh, alright." Xiao He couldn't persuade Ye Wanqing otherwise, so he could only nod in agreement. "Okay, let's go eat now."

London, Y Country.

The battle was over. The entire town watched in terror as Han Xin crushed Raphael's head into a bloody pulp. Raphael was then resurrected by the archangel, only to be killed by Han Xin again shortly afterward.

The difference in strength between the two was so great that Raphael was practically powerless to fight back.

"What a resilient guy." Han Xin frowned as he looked at Raphael. "How many times have I killed you? What's the principle behind your ability? Why can you resurrect even after you've died?"

"As long as my faith remains, I will never die!" Raphael gritted his teeth, but his expression was already somewhat deranged. Although he wouldn't die, he would still feel pain.

"Ugh, what a nuisance... Fine, I'll spare your life." Han Xin rolled his eyes. "The fear has already spread; there's no need to kill you outright..."

As he spoke, he clenched his fist. "Ah, the power is surging up. The effect is even better than I expected!"

At this point, Han Xin smiled, stroking his chin. "In that case, the operation might be able to be carried out ahead of schedule..."

He left Father Raphael and the terrified crowd behind, his solitary figure gradually blurring and disappearing from the scene.

In Beichang City, Xiao He and Ye Wanqing returned home after finishing their day's work.

Xiao He paced anxiously outside the restroom, waiting for an answer.

After a while, Ye Wanqing came out of the bathroom, smiling.

Xiao He looked at her and asked nervously, "How is it?"

He had never been so nervous in his life; those next two seconds felt like two years.

"It seems... I'm pregnant." Ye Wanqing bit her lower lip, secretly delighted, then held up the pregnancy test. "Two lines!"

"You Little Pufferfish..." Xiao He picked Ye Wanqing up in one swift motion. "How can you be so capable?"

"You're the one who's capable..." Ye Wanqing muttered, hugging his neck, "You make me suffer three or four times a day, morning, noon, and night."

"That's because you're charming," Xiao He said excitedly with a smile. "Let me tell you, I've even thought of names! If it's a girl, she'll be called Xiao Yun, and if it's a boy, he'll be given away!"

"You're not allowed to give him to anyone else!" Ye Wanqing said angrily, "That's your son!"

"I know, I was just kidding." Xiao He ruffled Ye Wanqing's hair, then pulled her into his arms and sighed, "I'm sorry, you're the kind of girl who should be able to act cute with others, but I've made you bear all this."

"Why are you apologizing? I'm so happy!" Ye Wanqing nestled obediently in his arms and smiled, "Hehe, Old Xiao's baby..."

As she spoke, Ye Wanqing gently stroked her belly. "Starting today, I need to increase the baby's nutrition..."

Xiao He gently kissed her cheek. "I think we should inform everyone about this."

"Yes," Ye Wanqing said with a smile, "Shall we split up? You go and inform everyone in the Special Response Department, and I'll inform Mom and Dad."

East Zhou City.

Xie Haining arrived at an overpass, watching the Porsche approaching from the front, and silently waited for his opportunity.

A moment later, he leaped from the overpass, landing precisely on the roof of the Porsche just as it drove past below. He then extended his left hand, and his mechanical left arm transformed into a grappling hook, securing him to the top of the Porsche. Xie Haining then raised his left hand and slammed it down towards the driver's side.

His arm pierced through the roof of the car, the wires protruding from his arm and into the interior. The two Porsches immediately began to slow down, eventually coming to a stop at the side of the road. Xie Haining then jumped out of the car, wielding his left arm to yank the driver from the seat, and said coldly, "You're under arrest for drunk driving, hit-and-run, and causing a serious incident, you bastard."

"Since when did you mutated freaks start meddling in things like this?!" the driver roared drunkenly.

Xie Haining swung her left hand and slapped the driver across the face, knocking him unconscious to the ground. Xie Haining then stepped on his face, saying, "From the moment scum like you appeared..."

At that moment, Xie Haining's phone suddenly vibrated.

Xie Haining, still with her foot planted on the driver's face, answered the phone, "Hello, this is Candle Dragon. Is this Little Xiao? What's up?"

After a moment of silence, he put down his phone, stepped on the driver, and jumped up. "I'm going to be a godfather! I have to go back and tell Xiao Jie and Xiaoya right away!"

After sharing the good news with everyone in the Special Response Department and replying to their well wishes, it was already evening.

"Old Xiao, are you asleep?" Ye Wanqing turned her head and asked Xiao He behind her.

"No, baby." Xiao He rested his chin on her shoulder, gently stroking her lower abdomen, looking thoughtful.

"What are you thinking about?" Ye Wanqing asked curiously. Xiao He sighed, "I'm thinking... all of this has happened too fast. I'm not really sure if I'm ready..."

"I'm actually a little scared too..." Ye Wanqing held his hand and placed it on her lower abdomen, whispering, "But I have faith in you... You always try to do the right thing. So, I know you'll be a good father."

"A good father?" Xiao He's tone softened. "You know what? I once dreamed that you and I had a daughter, living a simple and happy life in this room, occasionally getting together with everyone from the Special Response Department... That kind of life wouldn't be bad, would it?"

"I've dreamt about it too," Ye Wanqing said with a sweet smile, "But in my dream I had a son and a daughter."

As she spoke, Ye Wanqing turned her head and kissed him on the cheek. "Don't forget, we still have to have one!"

"Let's talk about it after you give birth to this baby. Maybe you'll change your mind then," Xiao He sighed, gently stroking her head.

"Hmm!" Ye Wanqing nodded, smiling as she looked at Xiao He. "So, do you want to do it now?"

"I..." Before Xiao He could speak, Ye Wanqing reminded him, "When you're about four months pregnant, your belly will get big, and you won't be able to do it anymore. If you're still being intimate then, it will affect the baby in your belly."

"Does that mean we have to finish ten months' worth of work in the next four months?" Xiao He countered.

Ye Wanqing blinked her beautiful eyes at him, seemingly stunned by his thought process. After a moment of hesitation, she nodded and said, "Yes, that's roughly the idea."

"Oh dear, then I can't be so heartbroken for you." Xiao He rolled up his sleeves, full of fighting spirit, and said, "Here I come!"

"Wait a minute!" Ye Wanqing quickly pushed Xiao He away and said mischievously, "I'm going to change into a bunny girl outfit so we can celebrate properly tonight."
