In a small alley.
A girl wearing a blue jacket was running forward while looking back over her shoulder.
She tried to use the complex terrain to evade the pursuit of the eye monster.
Just when she hadn't seen the eye monster chasing her for a while and thought she had finally escaped, the expected unexpected happened the very next second.
Bang!
She only felt like she had crashed into a wall, and then bounced back, her body aching all over from the impact!
But she clearly remembered there shouldn't have been a wall ahead of her, right?
Immediately, sitting on the ground, she was covered by a massive shadow!
The girl's pupils constricted and her heart tightened, thinking that the eye monster had caught up.
Therefore, gritting her teeth and catching a steel pipe by her side out of the corner of her eye, she picked it up and swung it forward with all her might!
Clang———
Hit!
But it was caught in the palm of a hand.
And that hand just gave it a casual twist, turning the steel pipe into a twisty pretzel.
"Miss, I've been a friendly neighborhood for a year in New York, and your way of greeting your savior is truly one of a kind among the people I've saved~"
As the leisurely voice entered her ears, the girl abruptly raised her head, only to discover that the shadow covering her wasn't some eye monster, but the local superhero who had just fought the eye monster!
"You... you actually escaped the eye monster's attack?" The girl was very surprised.
Ryan raised an eyebrow: "Escape? Sorry, that word doesn't exist in my dictionary, that big-eyed octopus has already been dealt with by me~"
"You dealt with the eye monster, and so fast? How is this possible!" The girl went from surprised to shocked.
"How is it not possible, just a big octopus, is it really that strong?" Ryan spread his hands, looking completely uncomprehending.
"Strong?" The girl was speechless, "It's extremely strong! It's a terrifying existence that has chased me across several dimensions!"
Hearing this, Ryan became interested: "Chased you across several dimensions? Why is it chasing you, do you have Jiuzhics syrup? And I noticed it seemed to recognize me, which dimension does it come from?"
Facing this strange man's question, the girl felt very baffled.
But thinking that the other party had just saved her, she still spoke out what she knew.
"As for the specific reason it's chasing me, I'm actually not too sure. But according to the Sorcerer Supreme of another Universe, it seems to be to seize my ability. As for which dimension he comes from, I don't know that. Even its information was told to me by the previous Sorcerer Supreme..."
"What is your ability? And who is the Sorcerer Supreme you mentioned?" Ryan sized up the girl.
The girl looked at Ryan, seeming a bit conflicted, and finally gritted her teeth: "I can tell you my ability, tell you everything you want to know, but can you help me?"
Ryan found it a bit strange: "Help you? Wasn't the big octopus that hunted you down already dealt with by me?"
The girl shook her head like a rattle: "No, no! That was just one of the dark creatures hunting me down. There are more than just it chasing me, there are even more terrifying and powerful dark creatures!"
"Even the previous Sorcerer Supreme who protected me died at the hands of another even stronger dark creature!"
"Stronger and more dark creatures?" Ryan's mouth curved up slightly, not only not scared, but even more interested, "Tell me about it. If your ability and the news you bring me are worth my help, I naturally will help."
The girl nodded, she had no other choice, and took a deep breath: "My name is America Chavez, and my ability is... opening portals to the Multiverse!"
Hearing this, Ryan's eyes lit up: "In other words, you can freely travel to any Universe?"
"Logically speaking, that's how it is, but I can't do it..." America scratched her head somewhat awkwardly.
"What do you mean?" Ryan frowned.
America rubbed her hands apologetically: "That is to say, I actually cannot control my ability to open Multiverse portals myself, and can only be forced to open them randomly under some extreme circumstances. Just like this time I came to your Universe, it was opened when I was being hunted by dark creatures..."
"In other words, you have the ability to travel through different parallel Universes, yet you cannot independently master the time of travel and the location of the new Universe?" Ryan's mouth twitched fiercely.
"Pretty much..." America lowered her head.
"You really are... among the people with superpowers who have the worst control over their own abilities, you are the worst of the worst!" Ryan said with incomparable disdain.
He had originally planned to use America to travel through parallel Universes and go to each Universe to find his own Universe.
Now it looks like there's no point looking anymore!
At least for now, he couldn't look anymore!
Ryan took out his phone to check the time: "Forget it, I don't have time to chat with you slowly now. I've already skipped a class, and now I have to go back to class."
"If you don't mind, just follow me first, and I'll help you develop your abilities."
"Okay, then sorry to trouble you." America didn't know anyone else in this new Universe and had no other choice, so she could only choose to trust Ryan who had saved her.
Ryan didn't stand on ceremony either, grabbed her by the waist, and shot out Silk amid America's screams, swinging away with her.
On the way to school, Ryan also tried to integrate the Symbiote into America's body, attempting to replicate her superpower of traveling through parallel Universes.
This was one of the Symbiote's functions he discovered after awakening the Symbiote.
That is, after coming into contact with an enemy possessing superpowers, he could infiltrate the Symbiote into the enemy's body and copy the enemy's superpowers.
But this couldn't succeed every time.
Some abilities the Symbiote could copy, while others could not.
For example, mages of the magic side like the Temple Mages, he couldn't copy them.
And this time regarding America's ability, the Symbiote similarly failed to copy it.
Under the Symbiote's replication, she was just an ordinary person's physique, with fundamentally no special points that could be copied.
Then it seemed that her travel ability, just like the Temple Mages, belonged to the uncopyable mystical side.
A few minutes later, in a small alley not far from Empire State University, Ryan tidied up the suit on his body and walked out quickly.
Behind him followed a dumbfounded America.
She hadn't expected that the superhero who saved her actually had the identity of a teacher!
When she heard Ryan say he skipped class earlier, she thought he was skipping class as a student!
It turned out a teacher had skipped class!
Is this right?
"Yo, Professor Parker, spawning from the alley again, want one of Dad's delicious hot dogs?"
An old hot dog vendor at the school gate was already used to Ryan walking out of the alley, and waved to greet him.
