American comics: A salted fish becomes a saint by hanging up

"This is the power you want." Lin Nan in the mirror said coldly, with endless sarcasm in his tone, "Now you have it, but do you really understand the price behind this power?"

Lin Nan opened his eyes and felt the power in his body expanding, as if every inch of his muscles were reshaped, full of explosive power and control. However, at the same time, he also felt an unprecedented heaviness, as if he was carrying an unbearable responsibility. This power is not without cost. It brings strength, but also a burden that cannot be ignored. He tried to calm himself down and tried to control the energy in his body. He knew that he could not be confused by this power, nor let it control his will.

"Power... is for protection, not for selfish desires." Lin Nan murmured to himself, as if reminding himself and responding to the self in the mirror.

However, Lin Nan in the mirror just sneered, "Protect? Stop deceiving yourself. Are all your efforts and struggles really just to protect others? Or are they to prove yourself? The power you have now comes from the deepest desires in your heart, not from those high-sounding reasons."

Lin Nan's heart was stirred again, and those long suppressed emotions surged into his heart like a tide. He knew he could no longer escape, because no matter how he pretended, these emotions were real. This was not only physical, but also mental. He was tired of this endless struggle, tired of wandering between light and darkness.

"You don't have to struggle anymore," Lin Nan in the mirror said in a low and seductive voice, "Accept this power, let it completely integrate into your soul and become a part of you. Then, you will no longer have any doubts or fears. You will become the person you have always longed to be - omnipotent and unmatched."

Lin Nan's heart wavered. He knew that this power could help him get rid of all his weaknesses and become the strong man he had always dreamed of. But at the same time, he also felt a deep fear that he would lose his original heart and become a monster dominated by power. The power in his body was growing in a dangerous way, as if it was about to lose control. He felt his heartbeat speed up and cold sweat broke out on his forehead. The energy seemed to be eroding his will and trying to devour him completely.

"No!" Lin Nan suddenly woke up, realizing that he was heading down a path of no return. He didn't want to be a slave to power, and he didn't want to be controlled by his own desires.

He concentrated all his will and tried to suppress the energy in his body. However, the power seemed to have awakened and began to spread wildly, as if it was going to tear his body apart. He felt like a volcano about to explode, and could get out of control at any time.

"You can't turn back now," the self in the mirror said coldly, as if announcing Lin Nan's fate, "You want power, and this is the price. You will be devoured by it and become a puppet of power."

Lin Nan tried his best to resist, but the force was growing stronger and stronger. He felt his will gradually collapse, as if an invisible hand was strangling his throat, making it impossible for him to breathe.

"I won't give in!" Lin Nan roared in his heart, trying to awaken his last bit of sanity. He couldn't be dominated by this power, he had to find a way to control it. A blinding light suddenly burst out from all around, and the entire space began to vibrate violently. Lin Nan was blinded by the strong light and couldn't open his eyes. The power in his body seemed to be suppressed by an invisible force and was no longer as violent as before. He found himself standing in a completely unfamiliar environment. There was a deep forest all around, the air was filled with the faint fragrance of flowers, and the crisp sound of birds came to his ears. Lin Nan felt that the power in his body still existed, but the feeling of being out of control had disappeared, replaced by a wonderful calmness.

He looked down at his hands and felt the power still flowing in his body, although it was no longer violent, but still very powerful. He knew that this power was still potentially dangerous, but he also felt a glimmer of hope - perhaps he could control it, or at least not let it control him.

Lin Nan slowly raised his head and found a strange man standing in front of him. The man was wearing a strange robe, with a kind smile on his face and an unfathomable wisdom in his eyes. "Lin Nan asked vigilantly, although the man's breath seemed to be non-hostile, he still remained alert.

The man smiled and nodded, as if sizing up Lin Nan. "You have mastered the power, but you still lack true control. Your inner vacillation and desire are hindering your progress."

Lin Nan was stunned. He didn't know how this person knew his inner thoughts, but it was obvious that the other party had a deep understanding of him. "I'm not here to hurt you," the man continued, his tone gentle and full of patience, "I'm just here to help you understand yourself. Power itself is neither good nor evil. The key lies in how you use it."

Lin Nan was still confused. He didn't know whether he should trust the stranger in front of him, but he did feel that he had reached a critical point. If he couldn't control this power correctly, he might really be swallowed by it.

"What should I do?" There was a hint of fatigue and helplessness in his voice. He had gone through too much struggle and pain, and now he just wanted to find an answer and a way out.

The man nodded gently. "You need to let go of the jealousy and desire in your heart and accept your true nature. Only when the contradictions and conflicts in your heart are resolved can you truly control this power."

Lin Nan stood in the unfamiliar forest, the shadows of the trees swaying gently in the breeze, like whispering spirits in his ears. However, even this peaceful environment could not calm the waves in his heart. The stranger's words were deeply imprinted in his mind, like a seed that began to sprout in his heart.

"Let go of jealousy and desire..." Lin Nan repeated these words silently. He knew it was not easy. Those emotions had long been rooted in his heart, like an invisible net, binding his every thought and action.

His inner struggle became more intense. On the one hand, he longed to become stronger, to get rid of the shadow of the past, and to become a truly independent person. On the other hand, he knew that his inner desires might lead him to the abyss of destruction. Lin Nan clenched his fists, and his knuckles turned white from excessive force.

"Are you thinking about how to become stronger?" The stranger's voice sounded again, interrupting Lin Nan's thoughts.
