This was the BGM the old man had contributed to Li Congxin this time. Its effect was incredibly powerful, but its restrictions were just as severe. It felt a little like the "Oil War" back then. However, unlike before, Li Congxin had now mastered divine-level BGM to the point of using it with ease. He did not become deliriously excited just because he had suddenly gained another powerful BGM.

Instead, he remained completely calm.

After learning how to activate BGM at will, he could now face this kind of icing-on-the-cake BGM with composure.

Ever since his long talk with the old man that night, Li Congxin had immediately terminated his previous extermination plan. On the surface, he continued investigating the truth behind the cosmic crisis, but in reality, he simply let everyone else run around pointlessly while he devoted more time to Li Qianhuan, doing his best to make up for the fatherly love his daughter had lacked during her childhood.

In the blink of an eye, another half a month passed.

The snow melted, all things revived, and the mating season arrived once again. The air was thick with the scent of hormones. Across the vast American continent lived a massive population of mammals—the superheroes.

Today, a grand wedding belonging to superheroes was being held at the Baxter Building in New York City.

The male superhero Reed Richards wore an impeccably tailored suit and wantonly spread his scent throughout the wedding hall to attract females.

The female superhero Susan Storm, meanwhile, had been attracted by Reed Richards’ rubber body, which could stretch at will, grow long or short, and become soft or hard. She had already put on a white wedding dress and, accompanied by her younger brother Steve… ahem, by Jonathan Storm, who looked remarkably like Steve Rogers, was slowly walking down the red carpet toward Reed.

From today onward, she would become Reed’s wife, and her name would also change to Susan Storm Richards.

Surrounding them were hundreds of pairs of eyes staring without blinking. Their owners were silently offering their heartfelt blessings to the newlyweds.

The host of this wedding was Luis, a famous talk-show personality under Nirvana Company.

At that moment, he was wearing a fortune-teller’s outfit and holding a Bible. He asked Doctor Doom, "Mr. Reed Richards, are you willing to marry Ms. Susan Storm and take her as your wife, regardless of poverty, illness, alien invasions, supervillain disruptions, or Parallel Universe overlaps… (300 words omitted here), and remain with her without abandoning or giving up on her until your hair turns white?"

Oh, my God!

The moment Li Congxin heard the man open his mouth without the slightest restraint, he covered his face with one hand.

He never should have agreed to let Doctor Doom have this guy host the wedding. Luis had certainly gained fame, but he was far more suited to hosting variety shows centered around talk-show banter. A solemn occasion like a wedding really was not suitable for him.

After being bombarded with one question after another, Doctor Doom wore an expression of constipation and helplessly said, "I do."

"You really do?" Seeing Doctor Doom’s expression, the fake fortune-teller Luis immediately pressed on. "I see three parts pain, three parts helplessness, three parts weariness, and one part unsurprised—"

Seeing that this guy truly intended to turn the wedding into a talk show, Li Congxin immediately transmitted his voice into Luis’s ear and viciously warned him, "If you still want this year’s salary, host this properly. Be serious. Be solemn. Someone is getting married here!"

At Li Congxin’s warning, Luis jolted and hurriedly changed course to save the situation. "The remaining ninety parts are all overflowing with love!"

Doctor Doom’s expression finally improved a little. He forced out a faint smile and answered again, "I really do."

Luis then turned to Invisible Woman. "Ms. Susan Storm, are you willing to marry Mr. Reed Richards and become his wife? Although your surname is Storm, you can guarantee that you absolutely won’t have illicit relations with anyone, regardless of whether—"

Li Congxin: "Ahem, ahem, ahem!"

Luis’s spirits lifted. "What I mean is, will you remain forever faithful to your love and never abandon Mr. Reed Richards?"

Invisible Woman: "I do."

After Li Congxin’s repeated warnings, Luis finally dared not make any more wisecracks. Following the customary recitation of a passage from the "Bible," he finally announced the end of the ceremony in a simple and direct manner. "Let us all offer them our most sincere blessings!"

Amid the sound of exploding confetti, Doctor Doom and Invisible Woman exchanged rings.

According to Western wedding tradition, the groom could kiss the bride at this point. However, due to the interference of an absolute will surpassing the O-A-A, they did not commit such an indecent act in front of everyone. Invisible Woman helped Doctor Doom smooth his hair, while Doctor Doom gave her a fleeting kiss on the forehead. That was enough for them to express their love for each other.

Next came the newlyweds’ interaction and celebration with the guests—or, more accurately, a grand outdoor dance.

What depressed Li Congxin was that Hill and Ava had not come today. So, during this grand outdoor dance, he could only try to make himself invisible and keep everyone from noticing the existence of this single dog.

However, sometimes other people’s attention was not something you could escape simply because you wanted to. Just as Li Congxin had quietly retreated to the edge of the plaza, someone lightly tapped him on the shoulder.

"Hi!"

He turned around and saw a pair of furry, enormous eyes. Of course, the part of their owner that was large was not limited to her eyes.

Before Li Congxin could ask anything, Wanda spoke first. "The dance today looks really lively. I’d like to give it a try, but I’m missing a dance partner. Will you dance with me?"

Li Congxin rubbed his nose awkwardly and tentatively asked, "If I say I don’t know how to dance, will you believe me?"

"You don’t know how to dance?" Wanda almost couldn’t believe her ears.

Li Congxin nodded with a bitter smile. "I really don’t."

"That’s wonderful!" Wanda’s expression suddenly became excited. "This is the first time I’ve heard that Clark Li doesn’t know how to do something. I’m so honored. Come on, I’ll teach you. Don’t worry about stepping on my feet. I have Chaos Magic protecting me. I’m sturdy."

And so, Wanda forcibly dragged Li Congxin onto the dance floor. "With my reflexes, even if this is my first time dancing, I won’t step on anyone’s feet…"

"It’s fine. I’m sturdy all over." As she spoke, Wanda had already begun guiding Li Congxin through the basic dance steps.

Perhaps it was only his imagination, but Li Congxin kept feeling that this little girl was hinting at something.

Soon, the song ended.

Relying on his Multiversal Level learning ability, Li Congxin had transformed during that single song from a novice who had never danced before into an experienced hand on the dance floor. His dancing had even inadvertently stolen the spotlight from today’s main character, Mister Fantastic.

In order to win back some dignity in front of his wife, Mister Fantastic had even resorted to using his rubber body, which could stretch and retract freely. Only then did he barely reclaim a little attention.

Just after leaving the dance floor and returning to his seat, Li Congxin was struck head-on by a shockwave. It blasted him straight back into the center of the dance floor.

Looking up, he saw Daisy arriving close behind at super speed. She grabbed the caught-off-guard Li Congxin and directly arranged him into the basic posture for a ballroom dance.

Looking at the smug expression of the mixed-race girl before him, Li Congxin could only say helplessly, "It’s just a dance. Did you have to make it so violent? If I were an ordinary person, that single move just now would have shaken me into pieces."

"You’re a Multiversal Level big shot. Are you really afraid of that?"

This was indeed Li Congxin’s fault. To help the Avengers understand his level of strength more clearly, before his battle with Galactus, he had explained to several top experts the power-ranking system created by Marvel fans in his previous life. Thus, Daisy now clearly knew that she was Sub-Celestial, while Li Congxin before her was a Multiversal Level powerhouse.

"Even so," he said, "you blasted me into the dance floor like that. It gave me the feeling that you were trying to force yourself on me."

Daisy smiled sweetly. "If I wanted to force myself on you, I wouldn’t have the ability. After all, there are three major levels between us: Celestial, Singular Universe, and Multiversal Level."

So, if your strength were sufficient, you wouldn’t rule out forcing yourself on me?

Li Congxin was thoroughly depressed. "Are girls these forward nowadays?"

Daisy replied playfully, "You’re just too passive."

Li Congxin: …

The music began, and Li Congxin and Daisy’s bodies started swaying gently to the rhythm. Daisy took the opportunity to move closer to him, then pressed her lips to his ear and asked, "Actually, I still don’t really understand what happened between you and Captain Marvel. Of course, I’m not saying Carol is bad. I’m just wondering… how did you choose her?"

Li Congxin was silent for two seconds. "Sometimes, choosing a sparring partner is like choosing a weapon. Besides appearance, the most important thing is to look at the attributes. Durability and reliability are especially important."

"Actually, I’m also Sub-Celestial physically. I’m no less durable than Carol." Daisy provoked him as she spoke, then noticed Li Congxin frown slightly. She couldn’t help asking, "Clark, what’s wrong? Was what I said too much?"

"It has nothing to do with you." Li Congxin smiled faintly. "But I’m afraid our peaceful life as Avengers is about to be disrupted again."
