SWWW Chapter 221: Xi Nian and Wonder Woman
The family finally reunited.
"This place is…"
Xi Nian lifted his gaze to look around. The rainbow beam that carried them down had deposited them onto a rainbow bridge made of some unknown material.
Beneath the bridge was a vast ocean-like lake. Above stretched an endless, star-filled sky.
Perhaps it was because there was no pollution here, or because they were so close to the heavens, every star shone with dazzling clarity—a sight nearly impossible to witness on Earth.
Behind them was, naturally, the end of the rainbow bridge, where the great gate stood.
Xi Nian looked straight ahead.
The rainbow bridge itself was smooth and straight, extending forward for several kilometers until its origin point—
What filled Xi Nian and Xiao Huang's eyes was a sprawling cluster of magnificent golden palaces, rising proudly into the starlit sky like towers scraping the heavens.
Behind the golden palace complex, a radiant divine light shone across the structures, casting halos that made the halls appear sacred and untouchable.
"This is the realm above the Nine Worlds. The God Realm, Asgard!"
From the gate behind them, a man stepped out holding a long sword. His deep eyes seemed to pierce through everything as he coldly fixed his gaze upon Wonder Woman and Xi Nian's group.
"You have trespassed into the God Realm without permission. You are intruders!"
"Heimdall, don't take my opponent from me. Besides, you couldn't defeat her anyway."
Thor boomed with his commanding voice as he strode forward a few steps, calling out to Wonder Woman:
"We haven't finished our battle yet. Come! No matter the result, I'll let you leave once it's done!"
Straightforward and bold.
But his tone still carried the arrogance of Asgard's royal bloodline.
Thor believed that if the rainbow bridge hadn't interrupted their fight earlier, he would already have won.
He was unwilling to leave it unresolved—because if it ended now, it would mean he and her had fought to a draw.
"You want to continue?"
Wonder Woman's face turned cold.
At the same time—
From inside the palace, the sound of countless footsteps rang out.
Warriors clad in armor, wielding staves, swords, spears, or war hammers—figures like those from an ancient Norse painting—marched across the bridge to provide support.
In the blink of an eye, thousands had gathered. This was already an army fit to conquer a civilization.
"Thor!"
"Prince!"
"Are you alright, Thor?"
Their eyes brimmed with loyalty and awe toward the Thunder God. But then their wary, hostile gazes turned toward Wonder Woman and Xi Nian, ready to act.
Wonder Woman gripped her Lasso of Truth in one hand and her divine sword in the other. Her tall, perfect figure stood in front of Xi Nian and Wanda, shielding them.
"I'll fight you. Don't drag anyone else into this," Diana said calmly.
"I had no intention of letting them fight anyway."
Thor waved his hand, signaling the Asgardian soldiers behind him to stop.
"Stay where you are. Just watch."
"You and Wanda stay here. This will be over soon," Wonder Woman softly instructed Xi Nian.
"Auntie… are you hurt?"
Xi Nian suddenly caught her right wrist, noticing something.
Diana didn't want him to see, but sensing his insistence, she turned slightly.
On her bare right shoulder was a clear burn and scrape, charred black by lightning. On her flawless white skin, it stood out starkly.
Xi Nian froze, emotions surging within him uncontrollably.
"This is nothing," Diana reassured with a gentle smile. "Didn't you see? He's more injured than me."
"Come then!"
Thor ignored the wound on his chest, spinning Mjolnir swiftly as he strode forward.
"It was you, wasn't it."
Before Diana could respond, Xi Nian suddenly spoke, his eyes fixed on Thor.
The black-haired boy's face was unnervingly calm. Nobody knew what he was thinking.
"What was that?"
Thor's attention had been locked on Diana until now. He gave Xi Nian a brief glance, saw he was a mortal, and dismissed him at once.
"Sorry, I didn't notice you there."
"Of course. It makes sense you don't remember."
Xi Nian shook his head. Back then, he had been in another state, another mode entirely.
But none of that mattered anymore.
Watching as Diana stepped forward to fight again, Xi Nian let the Cloak of Levitation spread out like a tent, shielding him and Wanda from outside sight.
He took off his space necklace and placed it on the small orange cat beside him. The cat's vertical pupils glowed as they stared back at him.
"You two, keep Wanda safe," Xi Nian instructed.
The cloak flapped its corners in reply.
Xiao Huang also nodded firmly.
"Before that… Xiao Huang, let's do it."
The black-haired boy spoke quietly, raising his left hand to his mouth. He licked the back of his hand, then offered it to Xiao Huang.
Without hesitation, Xiao Huang bit down.
Even with his steel-like body, Xi Nian had found a way. Through this ritual, an exchange was made.
Indirect, but enough.
As Xiao Huang bit into his hand, dark liquid seeped from her fangs, merging smoothly into Xi Nian's body.
Master of Affection.
Conditions met.
Linked target: Flerken cub, Venom Symbiote.
…
On the Asgardian battlefield—
Everyone's attention was on Wonder Woman and Thor. No one cared what a mortal and a cat were doing.
And so—
As Thor and Diana faced off, about to clash again—
Whoosh!
A stream of black liquid shot out from beneath the cloak, streaking like an arrow toward Diana's back.
"Hm?"
Diana's body shivered slightly as she felt something enter her divine flesh. Yet she offered no resistance. The presence was all too familiar.
Her body instinctively welcomed it.
The black liquid quickly fused into her form.
"You've gotten more disobedient back there…" Diana murmured softly, though her eyes grew gentle and her lips curled into a faint smile.
"Auntie, the fight is yours. I'm just the support—your walking buff machine."
A voice echoed within her mind.
It was Xi Nian.
More precisely—Xi Nian in Symbiote Mode.
But this time, he wasn't merged with Xiao Huang as the final host.
He had chosen Diana, the demigod herself, as his host.
This was something Xi Nian had considered for a while, and today he finally acted on it—
Venom, Flerken, and divine power combined.
Xi Nian and Wonder Woman's unique fusion!
