Chapter 757: Seeding Nature (1) (1/2)

A/N: Oh my god, I realized something stupid I did. Although Nik needs mass manipulation to change the shape or size of his body, he didn't necessarily need the ability to create clones of himself. Remember how he regenerated Merlin from a finger? He could have done that to himself. Of course, Nik wouldn't cut his finger off just to achieve that and it would take a longer time than the combi of Mass and body manipulation... just saying that this is possible too. So... this kinda proves that mc is as smart as the author and I'm... too dumb...

Anyway, if anyone gets reincarnated with this ability, just a heads up.

”Aahhhh! Finally! I get the chance to be back on the pages! It took too long, wonder what kind of world am I being portrayed in now...” Poole shouted, her butt seated on Gwen's right shoulder. Meanwhile, Spider, who had long grown used to Poole, lied on top of Gwen's head.

”And now... Poole is saying something strange again,” Gwen answered Anna while she nodded with a curious expression. The brunette hugged Gwen's and Nik's arms while they walked towards the entrance of the theater together.

While Pickle had morphed into a sky-blue shirt with dark brown pants covering his bottom, Anna wore a maroon bodycon dress with the neckline over her collarbone as it led to the sleeves beginning with puffy attachments over her shoulders. Her hair was tied neatly with not a single strand of her hair touching her face. Nik's and Anna's more proactive appearance gained a lot of attention and with her other arm linked to Gwen, the blonde woman with bubblegum pink-ended hair, too, gained an equal amount of attention.

”Sigh, I told you to doll up!” Poole smacked the side of Gwen's head and flustered by the lack of discretion from Poole's mouth, Gwen glanced towards Nik. She already knew that Spider and Poole were very visible to him.

”I can't wait to see that play!” Anna grinned, simply happy to be around the two of them.

”I really shouldn't be here,” Gwen moaned again. When placed in front of a stubborn and stunning Anna while an equally stunning but far more assertive Nik, Gwen felt no choice but to get her father's permission for the night out. Of course, she needed to return by 10.

”Huh? Why?” Anna inquired while Nik gained their passes.

”It's just... you and Nik... and there are a few rumors about Cindy, too. I feel out of place...” Averting his gaze from Anna's frighteningly sincere one, Gwen felt a little awkward.

”You don't understand... the harder you resist, the greater are the chances of your destruction,” Poole sighed with her words more incomprehensible than ever.

”I can never understand you... even when both of us are the same,” Spider narrowed her eyes.

”Oh? Cindy, yeah, we're all together!” Anna smiled, ”But she cannot make it tonight.”

It was extremely hard for Anna to not delve into Cindy's secret. But she, Ava, and the rest of the team was off for a mission. A few heroes and vigilantes had gone missing this week and one of them was Captain America while the other was Iron Fist. They had disappeared without a trace. Even the Hell's Kitchen had grown more lawless due to Daredevil's absence.

But according to her Aunt, the most high-profile disappearance was the Hulk's.

”Huh?”

”That's right,” Nik walked over, this time slipping in between the girls while he landed his arm around Anna's waist, not doing anything inappropriate just yet. ”It's just the three of us. I did invite another friend of mine... but it seems he had an emergency appointment with his dermatologist.”

With blue pigmentation on Brian's skin, he would cause an uproar the moment he arrived. Mary refused to partake in a possible group action where two of them weren't even acquainted with Nik's method while Natasha was busy with Shield. Felicia, once again, refused after learning the amateur nature of the production house, Janet not at all interested. Jennifer still coping with her entrance into Harem and also needing to return to her office finally, which wasn't even in NYC. Angela made it clear with the swing of Xiphos that it was out of the question.

Loki? She was still at large. Yar and Ray were probably in hell, literally.

Tigra and Vertigo were simply not accustomed to the task.

Finally, Morgan?

Her exact words being— I would rather die... and I've already been dead once and do control the dead, too.

'Hah... the sass on everyone...' Nik sighed internally. His gaze observing Gwen. While her hair was straightened with a few bangs covering her forehead, she wore a thin white sweater with a blue pinafore dress covering the top as the edges of the dress reached a little above her knees followed by calf-lengthed boots.

”What were you guys talking about before? I couldn't hear it,” Nik inquired with a smile. Of course, he heard everything clearly but seeing Gwen getting a nice blush over her cheeks was still a sight to relish. This kind of innocence is something Nik enjoyed every time. After all... once they join the Harem, all the girls commit sassy comments and gang up on him more than once, and not in the manner he would enjoy.

”Nothing.”

”Liar.”

”Poole, you talk too much.”

Gwen, Poole, and Spider replied respectively.

Out of the three only Spider was aware of how virile Nik actually was while Poole was the only one to have actually found herself ravished by Nik once using his pheromones.

”Anyway, we should greet Mj before—”

”Hey, Guys! Barely made it!”

An interruption, Nik noted and looked back, finding a well-dressed Harry waving at the trio.

”Harry?” Nik waved back slightly.

”That's me,” Harry waved again.

Knowing that one of them had to stop of the curse of waving would never end, Nik took the mature option.

”It's you? For real?” He waved again.

Speechless, Harry coughed.

”Yeah. Mj called me once she heard that you had a ticket left. I wanted to get out of my office so I came running along!”

”While wearing a tux?” Gwen inquired with a furrow, oddly displeased with the interruption while phantoms gwens over her body continued to chatter with each other idly fully knowing that aside from Nik, nobody would risk looking insane by talking to air even if they could see the duo.

”Well, come on, it's a figure of speech. I just changed in the car.”

”Must have been a big one,” Nik mused with a smile. ”You came at the right time though, we're going to meet Mj before the play begins.”
