Wilderness Challenge [Comprehensive British American American Entertainment]

Seriously, Jennifer later regretted the impolite behavior of cursing in front of the Supreme Master, but at the time she just stared at her shiny silver arm, not knowing how to react for a while.

What is the soul?

Different countries and religions around the world have different opinions on this issue, but in general, no one would think it is an irrelevant thing.When Jennifer started reading Tantric classics, she thought that she was laying the foundation for learning some great ancient forbidden spell, but she never thought that this was just the Supreme Master's version of "Please find a comfortable sofa and sit down, see over there Is there a disease popularization manual? That’s right, don’t worry, we’re going to talk about a little bit next.”

Next, Jennifer listened to this "little question" in Gu Yi's unique voice.

It turned out that the call she heard on the day of the blizzard and before that was not an illusion caused by lack of oxygen, but a real existence.On Mount Everest, the third pole of the world, the semi-awakened will of the earth finally has enough influence on the real matter.Facing the knife on its neck, it was no longer satisfied with the teaching method of burning CDs by the Heart of Nature, but directly chose to replace the CDs.

To put it simply, the will of the earth roughly broke up and reorganized Jennifer's spiritual body, not only engraving the law of power into it, but also making every part of it a medium for the exercise of great power.From now on, Jennifer will no longer need the heart of nature to teach her, and will no longer be unable to use this power for a long time due to physical limitations.

This explains why the ascetic and Ancient One felt abnormal energy fluctuations on the mountain, and also explained the strange feeling of incompatibility between the body and consciousness when the consciousness was restored, and perhaps explained the time when the supreme mage Why did the observer of the long river say "It's been too long."

Jennifer took a deep breath.

She had to lament again that the title of "The Chosen One" and the story of being chosen by a certain force was nothing new, and it could even appear on any occasion.Think about it, Harry Potter is the "chosen one", Anakin Skywalker is the "chosen one", James Jr. also has "the chosen one" tattooed on his back, even some politicians They call themselves "the chosen one".

But if you are selected, should you accept it completely?

Yes, she has seen some planet secrets with the help of Professor X, and she is actively adapting to the new power; yes, she hopes that one day she can use this power to sense the crisis and protect the things she cares about. ...but this does not mean that she is willing to accept "transformation".

Is a shattered and reassembled soul still the same soul?Is it possible to directly "upgrade" the essence of human soul beyond human will?It's not that she has to be grateful that the will of the earth didn't separate out a divine sense to replace her own consciousness.

As if feeling anger and hesitation, the power hidden in the depths of the soul surged again.This time it no longer looked warm, but bitingly cold.As the power surged, one picture after another gradually appeared:

Huge purple shadows hidden in the dark clouds of the sky, golden pillars of light penetrating the sky, shattered planets, vanished civilizations, and finally only one piece of desolation left... As if aware of prying eyes, the purple The shadows cast their eyes from a distance, and the picture was all silent, and then turned into nothingness.

This scene was so terrifying that Jennifer couldn't help closing her eyes.

After a long time, she said, "It seems that I have no choice."

"You are wrong." To this, the Supreme Mage responded, "No matter how strong or weak, or how many followers, everyone has the right to make a choice. Many times we cannot decide what kind of power we have, but we can decide how Use them. You can leave the sanctuary, stop exploring the mysteries of the soul, stop asking about the future of the earth, and live like a normal person; or you can make the same decisions as before."

In an instant, Jennifer remembered the old Manor X, the black tea that was still warm, and those blue eyes staring at the sky thoughtfully.She suddenly realized: At that time, the supreme mage had already noticed her, heard the question raised by Professor X completely, and also heard the answer she gave.

——"You have to make a choice." "One can never know which choice is the right one. The only thing we can do is to decide it, realize it, and accept everything it brings."

— “I want to know what is happening in this world.”

The words of that day seemed to still echo in my ears.

The sunlight comes in from the window, baking the floating dust, and also reflecting the silver-white and light-gold soul dimly.The ink on the old book is baked, exuding a charming aroma.Under the protection of spells, they will never age, and will always be frozen in a certain moment in the long river of time.

How enviable.

Jennifer turned her gaze back to Gu Yi and asked, "If... If I choose to leave, what will happen next? Will I keep this power? Lose all my power? Or go back to a month What was it like before?"

"It doesn't depend on me." Gu Yi said objectively, "The will of the earth is awakening, it feels threatened, so it is looking for help. In the next period of time, there may be many superpowers who will be strengthened, and will There are many ordinary people awakening superpowers, but this kind of strengthening will not be unlimited. What it can do is very limited, and this power will not be allowed to be silent in evasion."

After finishing speaking, the supreme mage withdrew his palm and returned the souls of the two people.

Before getting up, He finally said: "What you are afraid of is not power, but other things. But I must tell you, Jennifer Davis, you are far more extraordinary than you think."

That night, when Jennifer was waiting for the visitor, the words of Master Ancient One were still churning in her mind.

She thought about what she had experienced along the way, what she had gained, and what she had lost, and she also thought about what the world would look like if Galactus really invaded the earth.Finally, she naturally thought of the phrase "fear".

To some extent, the Supreme Mage was right. What really annoyed her was not the selection of the heart of nature at the beginning, nor the strengthening of the will of the earth, nor the fate that seemed to be written down. .After all, she doesn't resist power. If you don't look at the process, the will of the earth has even helped a lot in strengthening her power.However, the act of changing the nature of the spirit and flesh has touched on the problem that has troubled Jennifer since she came to this world-her own existence.

Therefore, when Bruce Wayne appeared in front of Karma Taj's narrow and old wooden door, what he saw was a frowning, pensive Jennifer.He looked at her in silence for a moment, half exasperated, half loving, then reached out and touched her shoulder.

Jennifer was taken aback.

"How long are you going to continue standing here?" Batman asked in a deep voice.

Jennifer responded by rolling her eyes before saying, "Nice to meet you, too, Bruce."

Their gazes met in mid-air, and they immediately exchanged a hug tacitly.Bruce still smelled of wine and the aroma of the cockpit, as if there was a very slight smell of blood—this was actually normal for him—these smells were baked by his body temperature and surrounded him. The surroundings of Jennifer let her let go of the vigilance and uncertainty since she woke up in an instant, and lazily delivered her focus.

As so many times in the past, the anchor was always there for her when needed.

They hugged each other for a long time, until a deep voice came from above their heads. "I'm very sorry."

sorry for what?

In order not to prevent her from participating in risky sports, in order not to be with her when the danger happened, or in order not to leave Gotham in the first place, and ran to Karma Taj to visit her?Or maybe, because I didn't study and understand what extraordinary power is near Mount Everest, I didn't do a good job in Plan A and Plan B?

Thinking about it, Jennifer smiled in the crook of his neck and patted him on the back.

This frail Bruce seemed to be fleeting, and by the time they walked down the deserted path to the room, the calm and wise Batman was back.He took off the pure wool suit jacket and put it on the bedside, looking around the overly simple room with sharp eyes.

The temperature outside is not high, and the old-fashioned window lattice determines that this room does not receive much sunlight, and the room is kept warm by the small fireplace embedded in the corner.The flickering light of the fire illuminated two or three large books spread out on the carpet and manuscript papers scattered all over the floor.

"It seems that you have a lot of homework."

In this regard, Jennifer chose to laugh without answering.

They sat down on the edge of the bed, leaning against each other half-involuntarily as they did at home, chatting casually about what was going on.In the end, inevitably and willingly, Jennifer told the whole story.

At this moment, it was the number of times she had reviewed this incident, and it was the first time Batman had heard of such a horrific thing. He fell into deep thought, rubbed his thumb unconsciously on the knuckles of his index finger, and couldn't read anything more on his face. Specific expressions.

Jennifer understood his temperament, so she didn't say anything at this time, but just looked at him.

Well, she admitted that she just likes to see Bruce's thoughtful appearance, and whenever this happens, the steel blue eyes will always flash with either worry or joy, which is extraordinarily vivid.For Jennifer, appreciating the blues is like appreciating a deep picture scroll, especially when the ideas can only be figured out before, and even more so when the vague perception fragments and emotional ups and downs can be captured later.

But when the other person spoke, the relief receded from Jennifer's face.

"You look scared," Bruce said.

"What?" Jennifer said.

"You look scared," Bruce said again.The shadow of Batman appeared in his deep voice. "Don't be afraid, Jenny, if this change makes you uncomfortable, you can always choose to live the life you want. Whoever you want to protect may not need your protection."

"It's that Batman doesn't need help again?" Jennifer stared at him for a moment, and said half-jokingly, "Wake up, Bruce, it seems that this time even you can't stop me from saving the world .”

"Save the world?" Bruce raised his eyebrows. "Many people have made heroic statements when they were young, and even more people have dreamed of being a savior. But there are no so-called super 'heroes' on this earth. 'Vigilantes' who are active on and off camera, they all end up discovering that they can't save anyone, and that discovery often overwhelms them."

how about you?Jennifer couldn't help but want to ask.

But she didn't ask.She doesn't need to ask either.

"Sounds pessimistic."

"It's not about being pessimistic, it's about being fully prepared."

be prepared?

Jennifer smiled wryly.

She thought that she was not ready, no, she was never ready to carry the fate of a planet and countless races on her shoulders.But as long as I think of some people living on this earth, think of those familiar faces, think of Alfred, think of...Bruce, I feel infinite courage from the bottom of my heart.This is a world based on superpowers, powerful and heavy missions, sometimes better than a powerless mortal.

"I'm not ready," Jennifer finally said, "but I think I will. I'm not alone."

She groped, put her cold palm against Bruce's warm one, rubbed it lightly, and then clasped her fingers.From the outside world, they should be two people who are pampered and pampered, but the rough touch of calluses is clearly felt on the skin that touches each other.Jennifer looked at the two hands silently, then raised her head so that her eyes met his.

At this moment, she didn't need a force of nature to reach Bruce's mind.

The emotion in those blue eyes was so deep—all the trust, the watchfulness, the worry, and the love all mingled, rushing in like a storm on a lake—almost made the brand-new body The divine body trembled slightly.

"I see." Bruce nodded.

It's like making a promise.

Jennifer smiled and squeezed his fingertips.

"So, Mr. Wayne," she said, "whether we're going to save the world or not, please tell me about your progress in uniting superhumans to create a strong Earth."
