Chapter 8 May the moonlight protect you.
"So, you are the Moon God Kong Su's representative on Earth, the Moon Knight?"
"That's right, and I think this Icarus next to you must have heard of my name as well."
Having calmed down, Hanlu and John looked at Icarus at the same time, and he nodded slightly: "What he said is indeed correct."
"Regardless, at least you should be standing among the living now, right?"
"That's why I came. The Moon God just told me that a group of people had broken into the Broken God Canyon and disturbed the conflict there, but now it seems that his worries were unnecessary."
Hanlu and John both glanced at Icarus beside them.
Broken God Canyon?
Which god was severed?
You?
Icarus seemed to feel he had lost face in front of mortals, and defended himself in a strong tone:
"I didn't lose, it's just that she couldn't beat me, and I couldn't beat her."
"Wow! What kind of god are you? A Norse god?"
Kamala circled around Icarus curiously, as if examining a living fossil.
Lily, a Black woman standing nearby, had already pulled out a bunch of incomprehensible instruments and was secretly scanning him remotely, trying to figure out the difference between gods and humans.
But after scanning around, she felt that the other party did not have any normal human physiological characteristics at all.
Is this God?
Icarus was somewhat displeased that the group was staring at him like he was some kind of rare treasure.
Hanlu quickly pulled the girls aside: "Alright, let's get down to business. Moon Knight, can you offer us any help? Like, perhaps by summoning a god to purify everything?"
Faced with this question, everyone looked on expectantly, but Blade shook his head helplessly: "He can't do it. His divine power is gradually being depleted, and there are fewer and fewer people on Earth who believe in gods."
The girls next to her immediately looked down, their faces filled with disappointment.
John and Matt, on the other hand, were relatively calm. As adults, they weren't particularly superstitious about so-called gods.
Icarus, however, had an "I knew it" expression on his face. He knew those gods all too well—they cared about their image but were unwilling to spend money.
If it weren't for their long history and early advantages, given their tendency to make repeated mistakes and refuse to learn from them, they probably would have ruined themselves long ago.
This is why Icarus maintained a level gaze towards this relatively ancient figure among the Egyptian gods.
"We're heading to Ohio now, where there's a special S.H.I.E.L.D. base that can help us send a signal into space to request assistance from the Nova Corps."
Katie, displaying a natural leadership quality, took out their small device and began to explain.
Moon Knight and Icarus both turned their gazes toward it, but unfortunately, neither of them were heroes from the technology side and couldn't understand how this thing worked.
But since this thing can attract alien allies, they don't object to trying it.
"Icarus, your companions may have turned into zombies, but since there's a possibility of bringing everyone back, why don't you travel with us for a while, so we can look after each other?"
Hanlu tried to persuade him to stay, as having such a weakened version of Superman by her side made her feel incredibly safe!
You should know that the other party is a formidable character who can fight a rampaging Captain Marvel for dozens of days!
"Okay, I have nowhere else to go anyway."
Icarus looked up at the desolate border, then back at the group of humans who were casting hopeful glances his way, and finally chose to stay.
"We need to gather more living people; the human population cannot continue to decline like this."
No one objected to the proposal, after all, they were superheroes who protected justice and fought off evil.
However, it always felt a bit strange coming from Icarus.
John, in particular, was infuriated by the other man's constant use of the word "human" and his condescending attitude.
But Hanlu kept pressing him down with her mental power, and he understood that the other party had her own plans.
After the team gained two more "half-baked gods," they set off again.
Icarus refused to ride in the same vehicle as Hanlu and the others, and instead flew into the air to act as a sentinel.
The Moon Knight, who was riding a motorcycle past, seemed to be staring at Hanlu, making him feel somewhat uncomfortable.
"You are special."
Moon Knight spoke.
"Was it Kong Su who said that?"
"That's right, but he doesn't seem to be able to see through your specifics either. He only gave us one piece of advice—that Icarus is not someone you can completely trust."
The two looked up at Icarus in the air at the same time, but he seemed completely unaware.
"I don't care. At least for now, he's alive, and so are we. That's enough."
The two looked at each other for a moment, until John walked over and patted them on the shoulder—there were three girls watching nearby.
Hanlu turned her head and met three girls who looked like they were watching a melon seed.
Moonlight Blade naturally walked towards his motorcycle, ready to lead the way.
However, a small incident occurred here: Moonblade stopped as it passed Matt's jeep.
He looked at the oversized cans being carried in the back of the car with some surprise, and even the white light in his eyes, which symbolized a divine messenger, paused briefly.
Soon, Moonlight Blade turned its gaze back to Hanlu.
Hanlu felt inexplicably awkward, but he wouldn't doubt the perception of a god: "Alright, stop looking, it's time to set off, we still have to save the world."
The group continued south. After the previous fierce battle, Matt volunteered to drive, while John rested in the back seat, and Lily, a black woman, took charge of driving his car.
Just as everyone was doing their jobs, Hanlu suddenly felt as if she were in a murky world, and a dazzling stream of colorful light flashed before her eyes.
Knowing the plot well, he naturally knew what it was, but just as he was about to step forward to get a clearer look, a strange and repulsive aura suddenly emanated from behind him.
As a streak of red light swept across his back, he instinctively turned around, but just as he was about to see the red-clad woman with her head bowed, everything suddenly vanished.
"What's wrong with you?" Katie, who was next to him, noticed his unusual behavior and asked with concern.
"I'm fine, I'm fine." Hanlu steadied herself and wiped the cold sweat from her forehead.
Even though he had seen similar scenes before, personally experiencing this chill and the premonition of the annihilation of everything still left him with lingering fear.
He looked down at his tightly clenched hands. Was it because of his involvement that the other party started to shift their target?
Hanlu reviewed the plot in her mind and was full of confusion: If the witch regained her memories, shouldn't she be preparing to save humanity?
Why are you still so obsessed with seizing the power of the Infinity Stones?
What is it that makes her so obsessed?
