"This trip to the DCEU universe is aimed at Amazonian power and possible Kryptonian bloodlines. The opponents may be gods or powerful aliens."
“So,” he said, his gaze sweeping over the crowd, “I need some forces that can counter or cooperate on an energy level.”
“Wanda,” he said, turning first to the Chaos Witch, “your Chaos 900 magic might be able to deal with any potential magical enemies, or interfere with the flow of divine power. You’re coming with me.”
"Yes, Lin!" Wanda's eyes lit up with immense joy! She nodded vigorously! At the same time, she gave the other "sisters" a defiant look.
"Qin," Lin Tian then looked at the Phoenix Goddess, "the Phoenix Power within you is one of the most primordial powers in the universe, and it may have a natural suppressive effect on divine power. You will come with me. However, you must always be careful to control your power, and you are not allowed to use it lightly without my permission."
"Understood! Lin!" Qin was equally excited! To be able to fight alongside Lin! This was something she had always dreamed of!
“Gwen,” Lin Tian said, turning his gaze to the Purple Gold Spider Queen one last time, “your close-combat burst damage and stealth assassination abilities can be surprisingly effective at times. You should come along too. It’ll be a good opportunity for you to witness the power of other universes.”
"Yes, Master!" Gwen's huge white eyes gleamed with excitement! She had been wanting to go out and "stretch her muscles" for a long time!
As for Ororo and Mistra
Seeing the fleeting disappointment and resentment in their eyes, Lin Tian put on a reassuring smile:
"Auroro, Mystra, you two will stay at the base for now."
"Auroro, you need to continue to familiarize yourself with and master the power of the natural elements, and strive to perfect your 'Thunderstorm Armor' as soon as possible. The sea and sky around the base are your best training grounds."
“Mistra, I need you to use your shapeshifting abilities and the Brotherhood’s resources to continue monitoring Earth and gathering intelligence, especially on clues about that mysterious organization.”
“Your missions are equally important,” Lin Tian emphasized. “I will definitely take you with me next time I have the opportunity.”
Although they were still somewhat disappointed, hearing Lin Tian entrust them with such an important task and promise to "do it again next time," Aurora and Mistra could only suppress their resentment and respectfully reply, "Yes! Master Lin!"
In this way, Lin Tian selected the accompanying personnel to the DCEU universe in a way that seemed "fair and reasonable" but was actually full of "imperial tactics"!
Three top queens who also possess the potential to destroy the world and are all devoted to him!
And then there's Lin Tian himself!
The sheer power of this squad is terrifying! Enough to make any cosmic power take notice!
Hand over all matters related to the base and reassure the "Queens" who remain behind.
Lin Tian boarded the fully upgraded mini shuttle once again.
This time, he was accompanied by three exceptionally talented and formidable "travel companions."
"Zero, set coordinates, Earth-1-DCEU!"
"Target—" Lin Tian's eyes gleamed with an endless desire for unknown power and stunning beauty!
Paradise Island!
"Yes, Master. Space Jump Engine activated!"
The shuttle transformed into a streak of light and vanished instantly over the South Pacific.
A new round of "hunting goddesses" journey!
Officially launched!
112 Entering the mortal world for the first time, the allure of the Louvre, the first encounter with the goddess!
In the vast and boundless multiverse, Lin Tian's meticulously modified small shuttle, like the most inconspicuous speck of dust, silently broke through the barrier of the DCEU universe and entered Earth's outer space.
Inside the bridge, a holographic star map displays this blue planet that is both familiar and unfamiliar.
“Master,” the cold yet efficient voice of the AI “Zero” sounded, simultaneously projecting a large amount of data onto the screen, “We have successfully entered the target universe, Earth, designated Earth-1-DCEU. According to preliminary scan results, the planet’s technological level is roughly equivalent to Earth-199999 (the main MCU universe), but there are significant differences in its energy system.”
On the screen, several unusually conspicuous energy signal points were marked.
"A region shrouded in a powerful magical barrier has been detected in the sea near Greece. It contains extremely pure and ancient divine power fluctuations and is preliminarily identified as the target 'Paradise Island'."
"Meanwhile, several extremely weak but unique energy signals have been detected globally, suspected to be related to Kryptonian technology or life forms. The strongest of these signals is currently in a dormant state, and its location... seems to be near Metropolis?"
The divine power of Paradise Island, the signal from Kryptonians…
Lin Tian looked at the information, a hint of satisfaction flashing in his eyes. It seemed he hadn't come to the wrong place this time.
“Very good.” He nodded. “Going directly to Paradise Island would be too conspicuous and could easily arouse unnecessary suspicion. Let’s first go and explore human society to find a suitable entry point.”
“Choose a landing location,” Lin Tian ordered. “Prioritize cultural centers in Europe, such as Paris or Rome. There… we might be more likely to meet people we're interested in?” He smiled knowingly.
“Yes, Master.” Zero immediately began calculating the optimal landing plan. “Landing location selected: an abandoned airport outside Paris, France. Infiltrating route planned, expected arrival in five minutes.”
"Notify Wanda and the others to prepare to change their 'outfits'," Lin Tian instructed.
Soon, the shuttle landed silently on the outskirts of Paris.
Lin Tian created entirely new disguises for himself and the three queens who accompanied him—Wanda, Jean, and Gwen.
He himself is the heir to an ancient family with a long history and mysterious lineage from the East, outwardly a young, wealthy scholar with a keen interest in European art and history. This identity explains his extraordinary knowledge and wealth, and facilitates his access to high society, especially museums and other such venues.
Wanda, on the other hand, became his "sister" or "student," who also came from a mysterious background and possessed a special "spiritual talent" (chaos magic was disguised as this). Her stunning beauty and slightly aloof, mysterious aura were enough to arouse anyone's curiosity.
Jean Grey is portrayed as a fiancée or an important business partner, also from an ancient Eastern family and possessing powerful "psychic potential" (Lin Tian deliberately created this ambiguous relationship for later maneuvering). Her noble and elegant demeanor, along with the occasional display of powerful spiritual energy, is equally captivating.
As for Gwen (the Purple-Gold Spider Queen), Lin Tian had her temporarily suppress her overly sinister form and revert to human form (but retain some of the symbiote's power and purple-gold energy characteristics). Her role was Lin Tian's powerful and aloof "bodyguard" and "assistant." Her wild and dangerous beauty, along with her undisguised "loyalty" (or rather, possessiveness) towards Lin Tian, was enough to create a unique spectacle.
Using Zero's supercomputing power and the assistance of the Mind Stone, a complete set of fake identity documents, bank accounts, and even "life traces" on social media were perfectly forged in just a few minutes, without any flaws.
After changing into carefully selected, glamorous outfits befitting their respective "identities," Lin Tian and his group of four, like true aristocrats, rode in a top-of-the-line luxury car remotely controlled by "Zero" into the brightly lit city of Paris.
Upon first setting foot on this entirely new Earth, Wanda, Jenny, and Gwen all exhibited different reactions.
Wanda was curious about this seemingly "ordinary" world, devoid of superheroes (at least not as many as in the universes they had experienced before). She cautiously used her chaotic energy to sense everything around her, trying to uncover the "truth" hidden beneath the surface of this world.
Qin showed great interest in Paris, a city steeped in history and art. She strolled along the Seine, visiting ancient churches and palaces, feeling the profound imprint left by human civilization. The anxiety and unease she felt due to the power of the phoenix seemed to be somewhat relieved.
Gwen (in human form) showed obvious disdain for the technological level and cultural atmosphere of this world. In her view, the technology here was far inferior to Stark Industries, and the so-called art and fashion were far less trendy than in her original world. She was more interested in the evil and power hidden in the dark corners of the city. Her symbiote instincts made her crave battle and devouring. Of course, in front of Lin Tian, she still obediently played the role of a cold and silent bodyguard.
Lin Tian, on the other hand, was like a truly elegant young nobleman who had integrated himself into Parisian high society with ease.
He would appear in the ancient Greek gallery of the Louvre, and in front of those broken sculptures and pottery, he would offer unique insights that would amaze even experts (of course, backed by a massive amount of data provided by "Zero").
He would appear at top art auctions, spending lavishly on some unremarkable antique that "just happens" to contain a trace of divine power or magical fluctuations, without batting an eye, attracting countless speculations and sidelong glances.
He would appear at grand charity galas, chatting and laughing with so-called celebrities and dignitaries. With his vision ahead of his time and profound insight into human nature, he could easily control the pace of the conversation and even inadvertently obtain some useful information.
Of course, wherever he appears, Lin Tian's handsome appearance, mysterious temperament, and the three equally beautiful and unique "female companions" beside him will immediately become the focus of the entire scene!
Countless socialites and ladies, like butterflies drawn to nectar, tried to approach him and attract his attention. Various flirtatious glances and suggestive invitations flooded him like a tide.
Lin Tian responded with a polite but distant smile, occasionally joking with a few seemingly "interesting" beauties, but always maintaining his distance, which only added to his unfathomable mystery.
He was creating a sense of presence, attracting attention, and patiently waiting for his real "prey" to appear.
Meanwhile, in the quiet and solemn artifact restoration rooms of the Louvre.
Diana Prince, the Amazonian demigod princess who has lived for thousands of years and witnessed the rise and fall of human history, is wearing a simple white lab coat and carefully restoring a newly unearthed ancient Greek bronze shield.
Her movements were focused and elegant, her eyes carrying a hint of reminiscence for the past and a touch of sadness.
Since the devastating war (World War I) a century ago and the sacrifice of her lover Steve Trevor, she has chosen to distance herself from the conflicts of human society and retreat into this temple of art, trying to heal her inner wounds with time and work.
But deep down, she was never truly at peace.
She still cares about that human world full of contradictions and conflicts, and still misses the days when she fought alongside Steve to protect justice.
She yearns for new goals, new meaning, and the chance to feel the passion and value of life again.
She vaguely hoped that some kind of "change" would happen, that someone or something would pull her out of this seemingly calm but actually stagnant pool of water.
Unbeknownst to her, the man who was about to completely change her destiny had already quietly arrived in this city.
And he is gradually getting closer to her.
Through continuous monitoring by "Zero" and his own spiritual perception, Lin Tian has roughly located Diana's daily activities and workplace—the Louvre Museum, Department of Ancient Greek Antiquities.
"It seems it's time to pay a visit to this 'living history'," Lin Tian said with a confident smile.
Paris, the Louvre Museum.
This world-renowned art palace is currently bathed in the warm afternoon sun, attracting tourists from all over the world.
In the bustling Greek exhibition hall of the ancient transit complex, the appearance of one figure instantly attracted everyone's attention, even silencing the surrounding noisy environment.
Lin Tian.
Today he wore a bespoke Italian haute couture suit, with the top two buttons of his shirt casually undone, revealing his sexy collarbone. The perfect cut accentuated his tall and slender figure. His short black hair was meticulously styled, further highlighting his stunningly handsome face, like Apollo from ancient Greek mythology.
Unlike other tourists, he didn't rush around or take pictures everywhere.
Instead, he strolled among the sculptures and artifacts that had withstood the test of time, like a true art connoisseur, his gaze focused and profound, as if engaging in a silent dialogue with those ancient souls.
The elegance, mystery, and innate nobility he exuded blended perfectly with his surroundings, yet he stood out so much that he was impossible to ignore.
Many female tourists, and even some male tourists, couldn't help but secretly cast their gazes at him, their eyes filled with amazement and curiosity.
Lin Tian paid no attention to the stares around him. His focus was entirely on finding his main target—Diana Prince.
Soon, his gaze settled on a corner of the exhibition hall.
There, a black-haired woman, dressed in a white lab coat, with an elegant and dignified demeanor and a beauty that could eclipse any goddess, stood in front of a glass display case, seemingly explaining something to the visitors.
QQ②②④②③⑤②⑧⑥
It was Diana!
Even in the most ordinary uniform, her innate divine radiance and otherworldly beauty could not be concealed! Her eyes were clear and deep, carrying a hint of world-weariness and a faint sense of detachment. Every gesture she made exuded an indescribable charm and majesty.
Lin Tian looked at Diana in front of him, a hint of amazement and fervor flashing in his eyes.
No wonder she's the demigod princess of the Amazons! The daughter of Zeus!
It's truly top-notch!
Whether it was his appearance, his temperament, or the pure and powerful divine energy fluctuations within him, everything made him feel extremely satisfied and excited!
He knew that this woman had to become one of his treasures!
Lin Tian took a deep breath, revealing the most perfect gentlemanly smile that could charm everyone, and slowly walked towards Diana.
At that moment, Diana had just finished explaining things to a group of tourists and was preparing to turn and leave.
Suddenly, a magnetic, gentle, and polite voice rang out beside her:
"Excuse me, beautiful lady."
Diana turned around at the sound of the voice and was slightly taken aback when she saw who it was.
The man in front of me is just too handsome!
That kind of handsomeness was not just a superficial appearance, but a kind of perfect harmony and charm that emanated from within! Even she, a demigod who was used to seeing the appearances of gods, was a little amazed!
Moreover, for some reason, she vaguely sensed a very special yet somewhat familiar aura emanating from this man.
That aura was vast, profound, and full of vitality, yet it also carried an indescribable domineering and...dangerous quality.
This instantly put her on guard!
"Is there anything I can help you with, sir?" Diana asked politely, a hint of scrutiny in her eyes.
"I apologize for disturbing you." Lin Tian smiled, his gaze falling on the display case behind Diana, which held an ancient bronze shield covered in scratches.
“I’m very interested in this shield,” Lin Tian said, his voice gentle yet carrying an undeniable professionalism. “Its craftsmanship… doesn’t seem to be entirely in the style of ancient Greece? The runes on the edges… seem more like some kind of lost Amazonian script?”
!!!
Upon hearing Lin Tian's words, Diana's heart was instantly filled with a storm of emotions!
He actually recognizes Amazonian inscriptions?!
And they even figured out the origin of this shield?! (This shield is indeed an ancient artifact that came to the human world from the Amazon, but its origin has always been a mystery, and only a very few people know the truth!)
Who exactly is this man?!
How could he know all this?!
A profound shock and alarm gripped Diana's heart in an instant!
The way she looked at Lin Tian had completely changed!
It's no longer the peace and politeness of before!
Instead, it was filled with scrutiny, suspicion, and even a hint of hostility!
“Sir, you have a keen eye,” Diana said calmly, though her tone was noticeably colder. “This shield is indeed very special, and its origin has been a subject of ongoing debate in academic circles.”
She was trying to brush it off, not wanting to reveal any information about Paradise Island to this mysterious man.
"Controversial?" Lin Tian seemed oblivious to her wariness, continuing to speak as if lost in some memory, "I have seen similar rune records in some very ancient family records."
