Stark Tower, penthouse.
Cloud, who was enjoying being hand-fed by both Natasha and Wanda, suddenly paused.
He raised an eyebrow.
"Hmm? That scent..."
He had sensed it.
The mythologically-charged energy emanating from P.E.G.A.S.U.S. Base.
The scent felt vaguely familiar.
"Kind of like that girl Athena's goddess power? But more ancient, more primal..."
"Don't tell me this universe also has an Olympian pantheon?"
Interest kindled in his eyes.
Like a veteran gamer who, after clearing one server, suddenly discovers there's a neighboring server filled with unknown mythological creatures—an "ancient version" waiting to be explored!
How could he resist?
Time to "pioneer" new content!
"Natasha, Wanda." He stood up.
"What is it?" Both women looked at him with concern.
"Come on. I'm taking you to see a new attraction."
Cloud smiled, then snapped his fingers.
All three of them vanished from Stark Tower's penthouse.
The next instant, they appeared in the chaotic mess of P.E.G.A.S.U.S. Base's Laboratory Three.
"Mr... Mr. Cloud!"
Dr. Banner, upon seeing Cloud appear, looked like he'd spotted his savior and nearly burst into tears on the spot.
"Quick! Do something! We can't control this rift!"
Cloud ignored him, fixing his gaze on the still-expanding spatial rift.
He could sense that the world on the other side operated under laws completely different from the Marvel Universe.
It was a world suffused with divinity and magic.
"Interesting. Looks like the spatial shockwaves from those collapsing small dimensions accidentally opened a temporary corridor between two parallel universes that already had intersecting points."
He instantly deduced what had happened.
"Relax. Small potatoes."
He waved dismissively at the panicking scientists, then turned to Natasha and Wanda with a smile.
"Want to see what's on the other side?"
"What?!" Natasha was shocked. "We don't even know what's in there! It's too dangerous!"
"Dangerous? No, no, no." Cloud shook his head, his voice taking on a tempting quality. "I smell sunshine, beaches, ocean... and a whole bunch of tall, leggy ladies in bikinis."
Natasha: "..."
Wanda's face quietly reddened.
"Alright, it's decided."
Without waiting for objections, Cloud wrapped an arm around each woman's slender waist.
"We'll be right back! Remember to change the hot spring water for me!"
Under the dumbfounded stares of Dr. Banner and the others, he dove headfirst into that unknown spatial rift with Natasha and Wanda—like jumping into a swimming pool!
...
After a brief, strange sensation like passing through a curtain of water—
Natasha and Wanda found themselves in a place of breathtaking beauty.
The azure sky was purer than any they had ever seen.
The white sand beach sparkled like the finest sugar crystals under the sunlight.
In the distance stretched an endless expanse of deep blue ocean. The sea breeze carried a gentle, briny warmth that caressed their faces.
The entire world was quiet, peaceful, filled with a primitive yet sacred beauty.
This place was practically paradise.
"Wow... so beautiful..." Wanda couldn't help but gasp.
Even the worldly Natasha had a flash of wonder in her eyes.
"Told you the scenery would be nice."
Cloud released them and stretched lazily, like a tourist on a beach vacation.
"But... the owners here don't seem very welcoming."
The moment he finished speaking—
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
A dense series of whistles, cutting through the air, came from a nearby forest!
Dozens of gleaming arrows, like rain, shot toward all three of them!
Each arrow was imbued with sacred power!
"Watch out!"
Natasha's spy instincts kicked in instantly! She rolled, already searching for cover.
But Cloud stood motionless.
He lifted his eyelids, glanced at the incoming arrows.
Then gently exhaled.
"Hoo—"
A soft wind appeared from nowhere.
The moment those fierce arrows touched this breeze, they slowed as if hitting an invisible wall.
Slower and slower...
Until they dropped onto the sand, three meters from the trio.
The whole process was fluid and effortless.
"Who goes there?! How dare you trespass on Themyscira!"
A clear, melodious voice—yet filled with vigilance and authority—rang out from the forest.
Then a group of tall women emerged from the trees, clad in ancient Greek-style gold or silver armor, wielding spears and bows.
Every single one possessed a model-perfect figure and goddess-like beauty.
Their gazes were resolute and proud, radiating the battle-hardened aura of seasoned warriors.
And the woman at their head was so beautiful it took one's breath away.
She had thick, dark curls like seaweed, sun-kissed wheat-colored skin, and deep, sculpted features worthy of the most perfect ancient Greek statue.
She wore armor of red, blue, and gold, holding a sword that glowed with divine light and a compact round shield.
Her eyes were bright and determined, radiating an inviolable sanctity and nobility.
She was the Princess of the Amazons, a demigod—Diana Prince!
Wonder Woman!
Diana's gaze swept slowly over the three of them.
When she saw Natasha and Wanda, a flicker of surprise crossed her eyes.
But when her gaze fell upon Cloud, it instantly became extremely wary!
Because from this seemingly ordinary man, she sensed a power that made even her heart skip!
"Who are you?" Diana raised her sword, its point aimed directly at Cloud. "Why have you appeared here?"
Cloud didn't answer.
His gaze was brazenly roaming up and down Diana's long, sexy legs.
Then, stroking his chin, he murmured to Natasha and Wanda in a "connoisseur's" tone:
"Mmm... not bad, not bad."
"The big sisters in this world... are very high quality."
