Time flew by, and five years had passed in the blink of an eye.
Many things had happened in these five years. Firstly, Wakanda had become a mechanized fortress under the relentless construction of molecular robots, and Zane and Lorna had moved to a new home.
Their current residence was a super-modern smart villa constructed with vibranium, ensuring that even if missiles were launched, it would only chip off some paint. Zane also had Skynet spare some time to write a set of intelligent programs to manage the villa. However, he decided against letting Skynet take over completely; Zane didn't want an intelligent being watching them during intimate moments with Lorna.
During these five years, the system had remained silent, perhaps due to Zane's lack of contact with the famous characters from Marvel. Zane had almost forgotten about the existence of the system. His attributes now were:
[Name: Zane
Age: 21
Active Skills: S-Rank [King's Treasury], A-Rank [God's Absence], A-Rank [Son of Light], A-Rank [Flash], B-Rank [Thousand Faces]
Passive Skills: S-Rank [Death River] (Remaining Revival Count: 2,674,933 times), S-Rank [Magic Furnace ], S-Rank [Realm of Death], C-Rank [Culinary Master]
Lottery Draws: Nine]
While his attribute panel hadn't changed much from five years ago, Zane's strength had vastly improved. The weapons in the [King's Treasury] had been completely updated, with Skynet creating numerous energy weapons, all of which Zane stored in the vault. Zane also had Skynet produce many cold weapons, simply because they looked cool. After a long period of tempering in the [Magic Furnace], the power of these weapons had dramatically increased.
The sacrifice of 2.67 million people lead to the addition in the [Realm of Death] and it transformed Zane's soul. His faith was no longer a small puddle but a vast lake, with countless liquefied faith energies surging and expanding the lake's area bit by bit.
With Little Bastis's assistance, Zane gradually learned various uses of faith energy. This miraculous power was like a panacea: it could be used for attack, defense, healing, and even to strengthen the body.
However, there was one drawback: faith energy was not renewable. It could only be accumulated through the offerings of believers. Once consumed, it had to be replenished by believers. This was how Zane had defeated Bast five years ago.
But this drawback didn't really apply to Zane. The undead in the [Realm of Death] were tireless and absolutely obedient to Zane's commands, so faith energy was continuously supplied without interruption.
After learning about the versatility of faith energy, Zane had also erected a statue of Lorna in the [Realm of Death]. However, it had no effect. Only later, after conversing with Little Bastis, did he realize that not everyone could obtain faith energy.
This thing required talent. Little Bastis had combed through thousands of years of memories from Bast and had only found two individuals with such talent: Zane and someone she referred to as Jehovah, an extremely rare case among billions.
(Here's a clue for you all. Guess which character will be introduced later.)
Helpless, Zane could only use faith energy every day to nourish Lorna's body. The results were remarkable. On her 18th birthday, Lorna's body was no longer the skinny figure from before. To describe her figure as devilish would not be an exaggeration. Even the large pores on her body had disappeared. Lorna's flawless skin was now a reality, not a fantasy.
On the night of her 18th birthday, Zane had personally confirmed it. The touch was great. Hehe! Zane hadn't forgotten the promise he made when Lorna, still underage, had flirted with him shamelessly.
On Lorna's coming-of-age ceremony, Zane didn't show off like Iron Man. He simply invited people he knew, such as the young Spider-Man Peter Parker and his girlfriend Gwen, as well as some good friends Lorna had made at school. More than ten people held an unforgettable birthday party on the rooftop of the Skynet Technology Headquarters building.
At the moment Lorna blew out the birthday candles, countless gorgeous fireworks bloomed in the sky of New York City. Meteor-like sparks fell from the sky, recreating the celestial palace's garden in the night.
Zane had spent a huge sum of money to buy almost all the fireworks in New York City in advance just for Lorna's coming-of-age ceremony.
After the girls left with envy and jealousy, Zane smirked and carried Lorna back to bed with a teleport.
"Little naughty girl, feeling proud before, weren't you? Playing with fire everywhere. Tonight, I won't hold back."
Sensing what was about to happen next, Lorna became alert instantly, covering her face with her hands shyly, unable to look at Zane. After all, she was just an inexperienced young girl. When the long-awaited moment was about to come, she couldn't help but feel shy.
"Sob sob sob..."
With Lorna's painful cry, a sleepless night followed.
Zane fulfilled his promise. The next day, Lorna stayed in bed the whole day, even though her body had been nurtured by the power of faith for several years. But where could she be a match for Zane.
After that, the two young people who had tasted the forbidden fruit began shamelessly indulging in their happy life.
Back to the present, Zane casually wore a T-shirt and boxers, making breakfast for Lorna and himself in the kitchen. Lorna had been exhausted by Zane last night, so he had to replenish her quickly.
It seemed that the aroma of Zane's cooking was too enticing. Lorna, stepping on a piece of iron, casually draped one of Zane's white shirts over herself and flew to the kitchen with closed eyes. This girl had become lazier and lazier, not even bothering to walk early in the morning. However, after undergoing training according to the plan devised by Skynet based on her abilities, Lorna's use of mutant abilities had become more and more proficient.
"Darling, what do you want to eat today?"
Seeing Lorna's lazy posture and the spring light leaking from her shirt, Zane, with his fiery mood, felt a bit eager again.
Maybe sensing Zane's gaze becoming increasingly heated, Lorna instantly became alert, becoming sober. She subconsciously covered her chest with both hands and looked at Zane vigilantly.
"No more, no more. It's still swollen. Don't you know how to rest?"
Seeing Lorna's pitiful appearance, Zane had to awkwardly smile and dispel the thought of making another move.
