On the ruins of the outer city battleground.
Vincent was somewhat stunned, looking at the green-haired girl who appeared, stepping on a pile of alien mechanical parts. Wasn't it Lorna, the gang leader he met last night?
At this moment, a mysterious green glow surrounded Lorna's hand, and her small body exuded a powerful, palpable pressure!
Whether it was the alien mechanical troops that immediately disintegrated and collapsed, or the involuntary high alert from his Super Spider mutated physique, both undoubtedly indicated to Vincent that the girl in front of him possessed terrifying abilities that did not match her young age and loli appearance!
So, Vincent blinked and very tactfully said, "Hello, Boss!"
"Tsk." Lorna was slightly surprised. She waved her hand, dispelling the green glowing energy, and laughed wildly, "What, do you want to join my faction now?"
"No." Vincent thought for a moment and gave an ambiguous answer, "However, in my heart, you are the boss, the most dazzling star in the night sky—Polaris. By the way, how about I call you Boss Polaris from now on?"
"Polaris? I like that name..." Lorna mumbled, but soon, she seemed to react again, looking at Vincent expressionlessly and saying, "Are you trying to fool me? The boss in your heart? That means you still don't plan to be my subordinate?"
Before Vincent could speak.
Lorna waved her hand again and said, "Forget it, suit yourself."
"Thank you, Boss Polaris." Vincent secretly breathed a sigh of relief, then asked curiously, "Boss, how did you end up here?"
Lorna didn't respond. She glanced at the corpses of the middle-aged couple on the house ruins, who had lost all signs of life. There was no expression on her smoky-eyed small face.
Lorna said inexplicably, "Pietro was taken away."
"By whom?" Vincent frowned and asked.
"I'm not sure, my subordinates saw it. Not long ago, someone took advantage of the chaos of the city battle to snatch Pietro into a modified black sedan. They should no longer be in New York City now." Lorna looked at Vincent calmly and said, "My subordinates and I are also preparing to evacuate out of the city."
Vincent nodded and said, "Then you guys should leave quickly. Right now, this city could be destroyed at any moment."
He did not suggest that the powerful Lorna should save the city or anything.
Facing the current alien invasion, everyone has their own choice. Even if that person's ability is strong enough, choosing to evacuate is understandable, as long as they don't cause trouble during the crisis.
"Do you want to leave with us? With me, I can ensure you leave New York safely." Lorna spoke confidently, and she had the capital for that confidence.
"No, my friend is still in the battle in the city center, and I must go find her." Vincent refused very straightforwardly, gesturing to Wanda in his arms, "If possible, please take her to a safe place."
Lorna's gaze fell on Wanda, and a ripple of emotion flickered in her eyes. She stepped forward, approaching Vincent.
"You're too tall, squat down a bit." The green-haired loli frowned, complaining.
"Yes, yes, Boss." Vincent didn't know what to say. This was the first time someone had told him he was too tall.
Of course, no one dared to say that the current Boss Polaris was too short, otherwise, they must be tired of living... Vincent held Wanda, with one foot in front of the other, leaning his body slightly forward to bring his gaze to the same level as Lorna's.
Their eyes met directly at close range.
A hint of surprise flashed in Vincent's eyes. He hadn't seen clearly in the alley last night, but Lorna's eyes were actually light green—cold, enchanting, like a clear, sparkling emerald!
This was like the finishing touch.
Paired with Lorna's delicate and aloof small face and the unrestrained, wild smoky makeup at the corners of her eyes, she possessed an unconventional and extreme beauty.
Lorna looked at the unconscious Wanda in Vincent's arms and fell into a brief silence.
Vincent suddenly felt a little curious.
Lorna's appearance on the outskirts of this battle was probably not for him, but for the red-haired girl Wanda. After all, she was also concerned about Pietro, who had been taken by a mysterious force.
Wait!
Vincent noticed something.
The green-haired girl Lorna in front of him, and the red-haired girl Wanda in his arms, despite one wearing heavy makeup and the other none, still showed a hint of resemblance in their beautiful faces.
Could it be... Vincent's mind was flashing a bold guess, but in the next instant, his brain went blank and crashed—
Lorna suddenly stood on her tiptoes, pressing her body close to Wanda in Vincent's arms, and forcefully sealed Vincent's mouth!
Vincent was instantly stunned. Was he kissed by force again?
The girl's kiss seemed a little clumsy, unpracticed, but very domineering and bold.
Vincent only felt his lip was broken, and a taste of blood reached his tongue, yet the girl showed no signs of stopping.
Why was this happening?
Vincent wanted to retreat, but Lorna instead placed her hands on his shoulders, half-controlling his body. Since his hands were still holding the unconscious Wanda, Vincent couldn't break free for a moment.
There was no time to think.
To prevent his lips from suffering further, Vincent could only guide the girl towards the correct approach.
Lorna, with her light green eyes wide, learned very quickly, even drawing inferences.
Until—
Lorna suddenly retreated, bringing out a clearly visible medium. She wiped her mouth, and the dark lipstick on her lips was gone. She said nonchalantly, "It feels... not bad."
"Why?" Vincent asked, bewildered.
"Nothing, just consider it a reward for you, my subordinate. Now, make good use of my abilities." Lorna reached out, took the unconscious Wanda, turned, and walked away from the ruins.
Vincent watched her depart.
Why did she know about his abilities? Or rather, when were they exposed? The most likely time was when he separated from Spider-Woman just now... Thud!
Vincent's knees suddenly collapsed to the ground. He propped his left hand on the ground, and his right hand clutched his left chest where his heart was.
So hot!
His heart was burning like never before, as if there was a furnace constantly ablaze, causing the blood in his body to boil!
Vincent gasped for breath, drenched in a cold sweat. His pupils alternately dilated and constricted, his eyes shifting back and forth between black and green, wavering!
This was the first time Vincent, through the Lord of the Retinue, simultaneously possessed two extraordinary powers!
This was different from the previous time, with the parasitic nature of the Symbiote. After all, the Symbiote was merely a parasitic fusion and could still be separated, but this time—
The Super Spider ability, evolved through mutation, and the special extraordinary ability, evolved through variation!
Two extraordinary abilities, whose compatibility and synergy were vastly different, were now forcibly merging within Vincent's body!
With two super genes, one appearing in the body was destined to devour the other; they could not coexist!
Yet, due to Vincent's 'ordinary' physique, like a universal charger, the DNA chains of these two genes began to break down. Under the influence of the Lord of the Retinue's ability, the extraordinary genes temporarily overlapped and repaired into one!
Vincent lifted his eyes. His hair showed no change, but the diffused color in his gaze had solidified into ice blue!
