American Comics: Heaven's Reward

Healing Magic and Hand of Glory have both been upgraded to LV5 in a single stroke!

Among these, the Healing Magic upgrade has reached Super Healing at LV5, while the Hand of Glory has evolved into Body of Glory at LV5.

Although it may seem like a simple upgrade of two magic abilities to LV5, for Aaron, who possesses an immense pool of magical energy, the benefits of such improvements are extraordinary.

Super Healing at LV5 enables Aaron to recover at the cellular level, with a healing speed far surpassing that of ordinary Asgardians. It can even be described as unnatural—the recovery process is so rapid that only the complete destruction of Aaron's body within a very short time frame could halt it.

Remember, this is self-healing magic, and it is passive. As long as Aaron has magic in his body, the healing process will continue automatically, without any active control required from him.

Though Aaron has not fully tested the extent of this recovery, early tests suggest that common penetrating injuries can heal nearly instantaneously.

Combined with his spatial pocket energy, Aaron has become an almost unkillable force.

However, in Aaron's eyes, this is just a small improvement.

The true upgrade lies in the Body of Glory at LV5!

The Body of Glory at LV5 enhances Aaron's entire body with magic, instantly transforming him into a superhuman with boundless strength and unparalleled defense.

This is an active enhancement magic, and Aaron refers to this form as the Magical Superman form.

In this state, Aaron's strength and defense are significantly augmented.

Just how much of an increase? The numbers speak for themselves:

When Aaron assumes the Magical Superman form, his strength and defense are maximized!

His speed also increases to 5, and his strength reaches 7, allowing him to lift at least 100 tons. In his Magical Superman form, his true strength likely exceeds 100 tons, though Aaron has not yet fully tested its limits.

This is just the normal state of the Magical Superman! The more magical energy consumed, the greater his power and defense become. The upper limits of this form remain unclear.

It also has the ability to store energy at a single point, releasing devastating bursts of energy far greater than simple brute strength.

Aaron tested this with Ulu metal: when he summoned an energy duplication and struck it with a spear, he could easily block the attack by increasing his magical output.

This defense is far superior to both Hulk's and Thor's.

Now, against Hulk, Aaron need not use other magic—simply activating his Magical Superman form would allow him to defeat Hulk with his bare hands.

"You should first test your normal power to understand yourself and your opponent before fighting a hundred battles!" Aaron muttered to himself. With his strength still at 7, further measurements were necessary.

He raised his hand and opened the mirror space, summoning ten energy duplications.

Each duplication was a fraction weaker than the original body, representing about fifty tons of strength.

After switching to the Magical Superman form, Aaron's body swelled visibly, his muscles growing at an astounding rate. He felt an overwhelming surge of power, stronger than steel. One punch now felt as if it could pierce the sky.

Despite this being an illusion created by the surge in power, it was still a dramatic improvement compared to his previous form.

Aaron materialized a long metal rope, wrapping it around his hand several times, while the other end was grabbed by ten energy duplications. A tug-of-war ensued.

"About 500 tons of force... It's a bit of a challenge," he said. "So my strength is probably between 500 and 1,000 tons?"

"Not bad! With this kind of power in my Magical Superman form, if I keep increasing my magical energy, I might even compare to the real Superman!"

After a quick test, Aaron exerted his strength and effortlessly pulled one of the energy duplications.

Satisfied, he canceled all magic and headed downstairs.

As he looked up, he saw a familiar face.

"Aaron, why are you here?" he asked, recognizing Gwen.

Gwen fidgeted nervously, while Nozomi spoke up, "Your maid Amora has done well."

Aaron turned his gaze toward Amora, who blinked her seductive eyes and smiled lightly. "Didn't I see that you know her? I thought I'd bring her here so you could introduce her."

She licked her lips, a wave of irresistible charm radiating from her.

Her intentions were clear: she wanted to show Aaron that she could fulfill his every desire. And in some matters, women who didn't show jealousy were particularly popular.

Aaron, though not interested in perceiving Amora's intentions, couldn't ignore her display. He felt it wasn't ideal to live with so many people; no matter who he chose, it seemed to bring trouble.

Perhaps he should consider buying a building, each person living in their own space...

He chuckled. "Wait... did I just get distracted?"

Was it because he had been single for so long?

As his thoughts wandered, he noticed Gwen's phone ringing.

Gwen quickly answered, glancing at the screen. "Um... my dad is calling. Can I take it?"

"Go ahead," Aaron replied casually.

The tension was clear in Gwen's demeanor, making Aaron suspect that Amora might have had something to do with Gwen's current state.

Just then, Amora gave an exaggerated pout, almost as though about to cry.

Play the role, why don't you?

At that moment, Asgard was invaded by an alien fleet.

Tens of thousands of soldiers from an unknown force poured into the divine realm, flying wildly across the skies of Asgard.

Heimdall, who had been guarding the Bifrost, was enraged. "I am the protector of Asgard! How did they get in?!"

Though Asgard responded swiftly, the invaders managed to cause significant damage to some territories.

A battle raged as ships soared into the air, engaging the Chitauri in combat. A protective shield was raised around the Golden Hall, isolating Odin's residence from the enemy's advance.

Though the Chitauri fought fiercely, they were no match for the well-equipped Asgard soldiers. Their energy weapons couldn't penetrate Asgard's defenses, and the Asgardians easily dispatched wave after wave of Chitauri forces.

Loki, watching from afar, couldn't resist mocking the invaders: "This is the invincible army you promised me? You're no different than the people of Midgard!"

"Let's see if you can help me take Asgard at all," Loki continued sarcastically.

But the Chitauri leader, undeterred, vowed to unleash even greater forces, including the formidable Leviathan biological battleship.

Back on Earth, Chitauri warships and Leviathans began descending.

The invasion was massive, the sky above New York darkened by the enemy fleet. Nick Fury was furious, unsure why the Earth was once again under attack after their encounter with Asgard.

He quickly dispatched the Avengers and military forces to prepare for defense.

Meanwhile, in New York, Aaron stood with the Space Gem in front of him, glowing with a soft blue light. The energy was palpable, drawing the attention of all those present.

Amora, intrigued by the immense power emanating from the gem, was tempted to claim it for herself, but quickly suppressed the urge.

"This is the God King's gem? Someone must be after it," Sif said, drawing her sword and returning to her Valkyrie form.

Jean also shifted into the Dark Phoenix state, ready for battle.

Gwen, unsure of what was happening but sensing the danger, prepared to stay and fight.

Aaron, sensing the impending battle, quickly readied himself for what was to come.

The skies of New York were filled with the threat of invasion, and the battle for Earth had officially begun.

The Infinite Gems hold immense power, and even Dark Phoenix feels a strong temptation toward them, for they contain vast energy.

However, she knows that she cannot consume the Infinite Gems yet, nor does she need to at this moment.

She has easier ways to increase her strength, with the most significant one being Aaron. With him around, they would never dare to entertain such thoughts.

Observing the actions of Sif and Dark Phoenix, Gwen quickly removed her coat and pulled her hood over her head. She wasn't even thinking of going home.

Though she didn't fully understand what the gem was, nor was she sure if Aaron was truly the god of justice guarding it, she chose to stay. Deep down, she felt this was the right choice.

Meanwhile, in space, the holy place descended rapidly. Millions of Chitauri piloted individual flight vehicles to attack Earth.

At the same time, tens of thousands of Leviathan biological warships descended from the sky. The army enveloped the skies over New York, casting a dark cloud that weighed heavily on everyone's hearts.

"Madjafak!!" someone cursed.

"Can anyone explain why there are so many aliens in the sky?"

"Where did they come from? Why wasn't anyone warned?"

Nick Fury was furious. They had just managed to appease the anger of the gods of Asgard and sent them away at great cost, only to face another alien fleet.

If he hadn't received Aaron's reassurance, he might have feared that the Aesir gods were now bearing down on them.

"Sir, the five flight squadrons set up to defend against the God of Magic have already departed! The three rested divisions are on their way to New York, and two aircraft carrier formations are stationed at sea, ready to set up defensive lines," Hill reported urgently.

"The Ministry of National Defense has issued a first-level operational alert, mobilizing the Avengers and all available forces to New York. We need to wipe out the aliens!"

Nick Fury smiled bitterly. "The God of Magic has done us a huge favor. If it weren't for him, we wouldn't have gathered such a powerful force so quickly."

"But... it's still just a drop in the bucket," he added, staring at the overwhelming Chitauri army. He had no idea how they could win this battle.

This time, the Space Gem had been taken in advance—an act that forced the Chitauri to risk being obliterated by Bifrost under Loki's command, driving them to Earth.

Although Asgard's intervention was more likely, the Chitauri now had more formidable forces to attack Earth.

Asgard, for its part, was momentarily in disarray and didn't pay attention to Earth. This provided Loki with a great opportunity.

To reduce the risk of being targeted by Bifrost, he spread the Chitauri forces across different areas.

Looking at the Earth being ravaged by the Chitauri, Loki's face paled. His plan was nearly complete. If the Chitauri could conquer Earth, he could rightfully claim dominion over it.

Even if Thor became king of Asgard, he would be on equal footing with Loki. At that point, he might even find a way to recruit Aaron, suppressing Thor in the process.

While Loki fantasized about his future in New York, he suddenly noticed an unusual movement in his scepter.

"Which direction is the Tesseract in?" he wondered aloud.

"Wait! Didn't Aaron take it away? Why is it still on Earth?"

"Could it be... he brought it back?"

Loki hesitated. If that were the case, it meant he might have to confront Aaron—something he hadn't planned for. However, if it served his greater purpose, perhaps it could work in his favor.

Just as Loki was about to make contact with the Chitauri, Aaron had already made a choice for him. While Aaron wasn't one to rush in and play the hero, the situation was different now.

If he stayed idle, Washington would likely have been erased from the map by the Chitauri, thanks to Nick Fury's honesty.

But now, the Chitauri were calling.

Even though Aaron could have continued watching, running away wasn't an option. It was absurd to consider retreating from a group of self-aware, insignificant soldiers. It was time to act.

Before Aaron could make his move, however, the four women charged forward, showing off their might. In an instant, hundreds of Chitauri were wiped out.

This caught the attention of everyone present.
