At night, in a slightly cozy room, the discussion revolved around space content trillions of light-years away.
Understanding the connection between Starro and the Flerken, Vincent felt a bit emotional and sighed, looking at Starro's starfish-like split body and saying, "Starro, what do you want to do next? If you wish, I can set you free and let you leave Earth on your own. Of course, if you still want to destroy cities, even if I agree, the person next to me won't."
"What are you talking about?" Diana smiled slightly, her cool, delicate fingers tapping his forehead.
The starfish thought seriously for a moment, then looked at the little Flerken Cub next to it, and immediately conveyed its thoughts: "I want to stay on Earth. Just in case, if Goo Goo ever returns to Earth, she can find me directly through her offspring. However, my main body is not very convenient to be outside right now. Can my main body temporarily stay in the Flerken Cub's Devourer Space?"
Vincent glanced sideways at Aunt Diana.
Diana nodded without refusal, her delicate brows calm and heroic, and her lips parted slightly: "Yes, you can, as long as you don't harm humans."
The starfish quickly nodded: "Don't worry, I never intended to harm humans. Before, it was just to retaliate against the forces that imprisoned my freedom."
"Oh, by the way, Starro, what gender are you?" Vincent suddenly asked with some curiosity.
"No gender, why?" Starro's clone responded in confusion. It had a good impression of this human boy, and besides, he was part of the family that cared for Goo Goo's offspring.
"Nothing." Vincent waved his hand, telling it not to mind.
He had a change of thought and suggested: "You've been locked up in the Jotunheim research facility for so long, you wouldn't want to continue being locked up in the Devourer Space, would you? If you want, you can appropriately control your clones to move around outside, but you must not attract the attention of other humans."
"That's great!"
The starfish was ecstatic and immediately conveyed its thoughts: "However, my split body needs to be isolated from the outside world. Otherwise, it's very easy to absorb energy from the surroundings."
"Isolation…" Vincent mused: "Would a glass jar work?"
"No problem." Starro's clone readily agreed.
"There's a glass jar of suitable size in the kitchen." With Diana saying this, it also meant she implicitly accepted the existence of the new family member—Starro.
Wait.
Vincent suddenly realized that, in this way, the current family configuration was—
One Greek demigod, Aunt Diana.
Two ordinary humans, him and little Wanda.
Three alien species, the Flerken Cub, Starro's clone, and the Symbiote Venom.
It seemed that the proliferation of supernaturals was increasingly diverging from his previous ordinary daily life.
Vincent's mouth twitched slightly. His family had more supernaturals than many cities combined.
Oh, speaking of the Symbiote Venom.
Vincent's eyes flickered with a faint light. He suddenly reached out and pointed at the Flerken Cub, smiling inexplicably and saying, "Venom, are you still pretending? Taking this opportunity, are you sure you don't want to come out and chat?"
Starro's clone immediately narrowed its eyes, looking solemnly at the Flerken Cub nearby: "I knew it. From just now, I've been vaguely sensing a strange, evil mental fluctuation within her."
The demigod Diana's gaze also fell on the Flerken Cub, and at some point, she was holding a rope that shimmered faintly with golden light.
Thus, after a few seconds of silence in the room.
"Hehehe, when did you find out?" Along with a hoarse, evil whisper, dark fluid oozed from the Flerken Cub's soft, orange fur and coalesced into a mouth.
As soon as its voice fell.
A golden lasso directly coiled over from the side, tightly binding the Symbiote's liquid body!
Venom: "..."
"Under the Lasso of Truth, you cannot speak false lies." Diana said softly, holding the lasso.
Auntie is as reliable as ever.
Vincent sighed inwardly, looking at Venom, who had appeared nearby.
"When did I notice… It must have been when Sorcerer Ancient One struck that palm." Vincent shrugged: "At that time, both your and the Flerken Cub's souls were knocked out of your bodies. Although your soul continued to play dead at the time, a completely motionless soul body was overly deliberate. It was from then on that I suspected you had been pretending to be dormant."
"You must have been waiting for me to enter the Three-in-one, to seize control of the Three-in-one when I lost control, right? I just found it a bit strange that today in the island nation, I was clearly on the verge of losing control, yet you remained well-behaved and didn't appear."
"Why is that?" Vincent asked, his curious gaze falling on the Symbiote Venom.
The Symbiote Venom fell silent. It really didn't want to state the specific reason, but under the effect of the Lasso of Truth, it was forced to say hoarsely: "That damned powerful bald woman had secretly threatened me before, not to target you, otherwise she would banish me to other spaces without living beings…"
Vincent was stunned. So it was Sorcerer Ancient One, whom he had met before, who not only invited him to the Sanctum to study but also helped him deal with a potential hidden threat around him?
Sorcerer Supreme, what a good person!
"So, do you want to leave here next?" Vincent asked a similar question to the one he had just asked Starro.
"Can I stay too?"
Under the gaze of the demigod, Starro's clone, and the Flerken Cub, the usually strong and evil Symbiote Venom asked weakly.
Unlike Starro's treatment, it felt that if it said it wanted to leave, it would definitely be smashed to death the next moment.
"Of course you can."
Vincent's mouth curved into a slight, triumphant smile, revealing a devil-like grin: "However, you'll have to pay rent appropriately!"
...The next day, morning.
Monday, clear skies.
After having breakfast at home with Scarlet Maid Wanda, Vincent left with his backpack. There was no longer any snow on the modern streets, and some tender green shoots were emerging from the park lawns.
Winter was coming to an end; could spring be far behind?
Some of the white frost that had been frozen on the walls had melted, slightly revealing a commemorative plaque with Superman printed underneath... Vincent paused, muttering to himself: "You know about Kryptonians too?"
"Of course, Kryptonians are in the Universe…" An invisible thought had not yet finished transmitting.
"Vincent!" As a pleasant voice rang out, and footsteps approached from behind, Vincent looked back. What met his eyes was a girl with swaying golden short hair.
Today, Gwen was wearing a long-sleeved shirt with a dark blue base, paired with a short dress that barely reached her knees. Below, her straight, slender legs were covered in white socks, revealing a hint of fair, smooth skin in the absolute territory in between.
"Gwen, aren't you cold?" Vincent asked, curious about his childhood friend's attire.
Although the outdoor temperature in Washington had dropped significantly, it was still late winter.
Hmm, perhaps spiders aren't afraid of the cold?
