Boom!
A powerful explosion erupted, and the strong shockwave directly swallowed Green Goblin's body. Even the large hole he had made just moments earlier became even bigger.
"Huh!"
After dealing with Green Goblin, Clea took a deep breath and finally got rid of that annoying pest!
At that moment, Clea had a clear mind and a good mood!
Then she returned to the sanctuary.
"Um, Alaric, you won't be mad that I killed him, right?"
At that moment, Clea suddenly realized that her behavior just now might have been too violent!
That clashed with her "ladylike" demeanor!!
"No, he deserved to die, but now Gwen will have a headache." Alaric shook his head and smiled.
"Huh? Why?" Clea didn't understand.
"Because you killed Green Goblin, and Gwen considered him her enemy."
Alaric smiled, then flew out through the opening.
Now Alaric could fly freely even without the levitating cloak.
When he went outside, he activated his magic and restored the buildings, cars, and everything else that had been destroyed in the battle earlier to their original state.
He also removed the shredded body of Green Goblin.
As for the people who had been drawn by the intense noise, Alaric thought for a moment and erased his presence from their memories, leaving only the memory of the battle between Clea and Green Goblin.
He also dealt with those who had been filming videos and taking pictures.
Alaric wasn't worried about problems arising from him showing up, but he was concerned that revealing his address would attract a bunch of reporters and fans.
That was something Alaric absolutely did not want to see.
As for Clea, that wasn't so important. After all, Green Goblin was now very well-known. Clea killed Green Goblin, which could definitely be considered a heroic deed.
Alaric returned to the sanctuary and restored everything that had been destroyed to its original state.
"Alaric, do you think Gwen will be mad at me?"
Clea approached and asked.
"Don't worry, she won't. You didn't go looking for Green Goblin." Alaric reassured her.
At that moment, the levitating cloak automatically detached from Clea's shoulders and returned to Alaric's body.
"Huh? Alaric, you're so strong, why not give Xiaohong to me?"
Clea instantly fell in love with the feeling of flying!
Hearing that, the levitating cloak quickly flapped its edges like hands toward Clea, clearly showing its refusal.
"See, Xiaohong refuses, but if you want to fly, as soon as you learn elemental magic and master the power of the wind element, you'll be able to fly on your own using magic."
Alaric couldn't give the levitating cloak to anyone, not even Clea.
It's important to know that the levitating cloak had been of immense help to him at the very beginning.
"Ah… Alright!" Clea was a little disappointed but didn't insist any further.
It's not right to snatch something precious from someone else.
But Clea thought that this only meant one thing, she had to learn one more thing.
And she hadn't even fully mastered the previous ones yet!!
"Is the problem solved?"
Amora asked, leaning against the doorframe of her room.
"Solved."
"Then go to bed early~" Amora winked at Alaric and Clea and closed the door.
"!!!" Clea's face turned red and she suddenly remembered everything that had happened earlier!
This time, she was even more embarrassed.
All the courage she had barely gathered disappeared.
"W-Well… I'm going to bed…"
Clea nervously fidgeted with her fingertips and started walking toward her room.
"Where do you think you're going?"
Alaric reached out, pulled her back, and dragged her into his room.
"N-No… wait! I'm not ready yet!" Clea shouted!
"I am."
"Wait! At least let me change first…"
"No need, this is perfectly fine!"
The next day, a piece of news appeared on the front pages of all major New York newspapers.
"Mysterious silver-haired girl fights Green Goblin! Scene horrific!!"
"Green Goblin dead! A new superhero is born!!"
"Who is she? What's her connection to him!? Why does she have the same cloak!?"
"Shocking! The true identity of Green Goblin is actually…"
"Green Goblin is dead? Killed by a superhero?"
In the morning, at Gwen's house, George was having breakfast and reading the newspaper.
"What? Green Goblin is dead!? Who killed him!?"
Gwen came down the stairs and just as she sat down, she asked in shock the moment she heard what George said.
"Why are you so excited? Does it matter that much to you?"
George looked at his daughter in confusion.
"Huh? I just think that evil Green Goblin was too dangerous and too strong, so it's better he was caught quickly so he wouldn't hurt you, Dad!"
Gwen quickly replied.
"Now you can rest easy, but don't let these things distract you from studying."
"These things aren't worth stressing about too much."
When George heard Gwen's words, his heart was warmed. Truly Daddy's golden girl!
"Was it Spider-Woman who killed Green Goblin?"
Gwen's mother, Helen, placed breakfast in front of Gwen and asked curiously.
"Well…"
Just as Gwen was about to say that Spider-Woman would never kill anyone, George interrupted.
"It wasn't Spider-Woman, but another person no one had seen before, and now many are speculating she's connected to the Magician."
"Why do they think that?" Gwen was confused.
"Because someone took a picture of that silver-haired girl wearing a red cloak that suspiciously looks just like the Magician's."
"Silver hair? Red cloak? Let me see!!"
Gwen muttered, feeling it was somehow familiar, and snatched the newspaper from George's hands and looked down.
"!!!"
Clea!?
Gwen covered her mouth, barely holding back from screaming out loud!
Who else could it be if not Clea!?
But how could she have killed Green Goblin!?
He was her target!!
Moreover, from the photos and videos that many people managed to capture, the Green Goblin lying on the ground without a mask was clearly Norman Osborn, president of Osborn Industries!!
Now Gwen didn't even need to look for evidence against Norman to prove he was Green Goblin.
"Gwen? What's wrong? Are you scared?"
Helen asked worriedly when she saw how shocked Gwen looked.
"I… I just saw that it was Mr. Osborn… I'm still an intern at his company."
Gwen said, pointing to Norman's picture.
"Osborn? It's really him!" George was surprised.
Until then, he had been focused only on who the silver-haired girl was, and had forgotten to carefully read the rest of the text.
"How can the president of such a big company be a super-criminal? Gwen, maybe you should stop going to your internship at Osborn. Who knows if there are more dangerous people there?"
Now Helen was even more concerned.
"Yeah, Gwen, and your graduation is coming up soon, you should focus on school."
George agreed.
Osborn's company was a big name, but the waters inside were very deep. Now that Norman's true identity had been exposed, the price of Osborn's stocks had plummeted overnight.
Because of that, George thought Gwen should stay away from that whirlpool.
"I understand… I'll think about it seriously."
Gwen nodded and agreed.
