Chapter 17

"Superman, you are mine, and I am yours. Every time I look at you again, I feel like I might explode. If I get any closer to you, I'll melt. I just want to claim you as my own, Beibeibei..."

...

Li Ye soared through the air with Gwen in his arms.

The reason he was able to fly while carrying someone was that his flight ability was based on manipulating gravity. A gravitational shield enveloped Gwen, isolating her from the external environment. This meant there was no risk of suffocation or other atmospheric problems.

For Gwen, it felt like being inside a transparent airplane. The sensation was strange but incredible.

"Am I... am I really flying? This is amazing! According to the laws of physics, it's impossible for humans to fly, let alone at this speed. The sheer friction from the air alone would—wait, you're even flying with me? This defies logic! Is your ability similar to Superman in the comics, with the bio-electric field and all that?"

Gwen's words spilled out in a torrent of technical jargon, a testament to her brilliance as a top student.

"Gwen, are you seriously trying to give a science lecture right now?" Li Ye asked with a wry smile.

"...Sorry, it's just a habit from school!" Gwen said, embarrassed.

"So, from your analysis, it sounds like you weren't entirely sure if I could fly with someone else. Yet you still asked me to take you?"

"Well... I wasn't sure. But in the heat of the moment, I just..."

"Alright, where do you want to go now? I can take you anywhere you want."

"Really? Actually, I've always been fascinated by the stars. Can you take me higher? I want to get a closer look at the night sky."

"Sure thing!" Li Ye replied with a grin.

He ascended even higher, the surrounding air thinning rapidly. Soon, they broke through the atmosphere into the boundless void of space.

"This... this is unbelievable! There's no air here, yet we can breathe and talk normally. Your ability is truly extraordinary!" Gwen said, her eyes sparkling with a fiery curiosity. But the heat in her gaze wasn't romantic; it was the unmistakable passion of a scientist encountering the impossible.

"Gwen, weren't you going to look at the stars?" Li Ye interrupted, trying to redirect her attention.

"Ah... sorry!" Gwen quickly refocused, turning her gaze to the mesmerizing expanse of stars.

"This view... it's breathtaking!"

"Yeah," Li Ye agreed, gazing at the endless universe. "Compared to the vastness of space, humanity feels so small."

The two spent what felt like hours admiring the cosmos before Li Ye finally brought Gwen back to her home.

"Thank you, Superman. This has been the happiest day of my life!" Gwen whispered, hugging him tightly.

"You're welcome. As long as you're happy," Li Ye replied with a warm smile.

"Superman, can I ask you one last thing?"

"Of course!"

"What's your real name?"

"My name is Li Ye, a hero who acts purely out of interest."

Chapter 24: A Changing Future

Li Ye returned to his apartment.

"Gwen Stacy? Isn't she supposed to be Spider-Man's future girlfriend? Why did she kiss me?" Li Ye muttered to himself.

"System, was it wrong for me to do this?"

"Ding! Host, this is a real world. There's no fixed future. Everything is subject to change," the system responded.

"So, you're saying Gwen isn't guaranteed to end up with Peter Parker?" Li Ye asked, surprised.

"Host, stop pretending. Are you really the kind of person to care about predetermined fates? If you want the girl, you'll take her, even if you have to fight for her!"

"Damn, you've got me figured out!"

"That's because the host is inherently shameless."

...

S.H.I.E.L.D. Headquarters

"Coulson, assign agents to protect that girl immediately. Make sure nothing happens to her!" Nick Fury ordered.

"Understood, Director!" Coulson replied, hurrying to carry out the command.

"Sir, are you worried someone might use her to manipulate Superman?" Maria Hill asked.

"That's exactly it. Superman forming personal relationships could be a vulnerability. But what concerns me more is that if someone hurts the girl, it might provoke his wrath. Magneto couldn't stop him—who else on Earth could?"

...

Kamar-Taj

In the ancient sanctum of Kamar-Taj, the Sorcerer Supreme, the Ancient One, peered into the future using the Time Stone.

After centuries of defending Earth, she longed for retirement and had finally identified a suitable successor. But suddenly, her vision of the future shifted violently.

"Ah!"

The Ancient One awoke with a gasp.

"Why has the future changed? Superman Li Ye... who is this man? I must investigate!"

...

Hell's Kitchen

In the lawless borders between Hell's Kitchen and Queens, a notorious area labeled the "No-Go Zone" by gangs, two shadowy figures were locked in discussion.

"Mr. XX, lure Superman out successfully, and our boss will cut you in on Hell Street's profits," one figure proposed.

"Mr. Fisk is very generous, but..."

The second man hesitated.

He wasn't stupid. Going after Superman was a death sentence.

"If you don't accept, there won't be an Xikun Gang anymore!"

"...I understand. I'll do my best."

"It's not about trying; it's about succeeding. Nobody negotiates with Wilson Fisk!"

"Understood!"

...

Outside, the sound of gunfire erupted, accompanied by terrified screams.

"What's going on?"

"A freak in a red costume is attacking us!" a gang member reported, trembling.

"One person? And you're all screaming? Useless idiots!"

"But boss... he's dodging every bullet. We can't hit him!"

...

A figure in red tights and a horned mask entered the building, dispatching the last guard with ease.

"Pity they escaped," the man muttered.

This was Daredevil. By day, he was Matt Murdock, a blind lawyer. By night, he became a vigilante, using his enhanced senses to combat injustice.

Chapter 25: The First Main Mission

"Boom!"

A massive explosion shook the city.

"Ahhhh!"

Terrified civilians fled in panic.

For the people of New York, chaos had become a grim norm. Just two days ago, they had endured another terrorist attack, and now disaster struck again.
