Chapter 22 - Aaron is Superman?

Norman was the most excited.

Super healing potion, limb regeneration potion, and the anti-aging potion that was about to appear.

Aaron's previous promises to him were all about to be fulfilled.

This day came so fast, so fast that Norman now only regretted that Osborn Industries was not yet strong enough, so there were not more excellent biologists to lead the reversal of these potions.

Amidst a chorus of respectful greetings, Aaron, Norman and Felicia arrived at the private storage room from before.

Felicia and Norman consciously stood like guards on either side of the door, their gaze sweeping around to prevent anyone from approaching without permission.

Aaron entered the room alone.

He nodded in satisfaction at the objects piled on the floor.

A set of Doctor Octopus's exclusive four-claw mechanical arms.

A box containing ten bottles of incomplete Green Goblin serum.

One state-of-the-art desktop computer and one state-of-the-art laptop.

Two transparent water tanks, each containing ten live electric eels, turtles, and quahogs.

Ten transparent biological incubators, each with a live naked mole-rat, and some test tubes filled with water.

And then there were boxes of various functional telescopes.

From ordinary telescopes to solar telescopes and space telescopes, all types that could be quickly delivered to the market were available.

Of course, these telescopes were all small in size and common goods that could be quickly delivered.

Those huge astronomical telescopes, several meters or tens of meters in size, weighing tens of tons, had to be custom-made and required a lot of time.

However, with the power of Osborn Industries, acquiring them was only a matter of time.

There was also a small thing, a small green worm only a few centimeters long, which was a sea slug, a very special insect.

They forage for algae, then extract chlorophyll from it and store it in their bodies, thereby gaining the ability to photosynthesize. In short, they can go for long periods without eating, absorbing sunlight to maintain their body functions and grow.

Moreover, the sea slug actually extracted more than just chlorophyll from this algae. It also stole genes from green plants, giving itself algal characteristics, and thus could produce a protein specifically for chloroplast operation.

To some extent, the sea slug is equivalent to a super-miniature primal furnace. It can steal genes from other objects, even if it's only one or two.

Aaron accidentally learned about this thing, so he asked Norman to find a way to get a few for experiments.

Now, the happiest moment has finally arrived.

Aaron absorbed these small items one by one.

Streams of light poured into various parts of his body.

[Lightning Control (Electric Eel): Similar ability detected, Fusion complete... You have mastered the power of lightning, able to create, absorb, and contain a certain degree of lightning, and possess strong resistance to lightning.]

[Super Vision (Various Telescopes): Similar ability detected, Fusion complete... You possess powerful long-distance vision and X-ray vision, able to clearly see the distant starry sky, and can directly face the majesty of the sun. At the same time, you can see and detect high-energy rays including but not limited to X-rays, gamma rays, etc.]

[Super Brain: Similar ability detected, Fusion complete... (Similar to the one gained from mobile phone but with some enhancement)]

[Super Vitality (Turtle, Naked Mole-Rat, Quahog): You possess powerful vitality, thereby breaking through the theoretical limit of the human species' lifespan, able to live for up to five thousand years. Before your time is up, you will not age due to the passage of time, forever remaining youthful!]

[Dextrous Hands (Octopus Mechanical Arm): You possess the most flexible hands, their flexibility is astonishing, surpassing human limits, enough to make the target feel extreme pleasure.]

[Super Immunity (Naked Mole-Rat): Similar ability detected, Fusion complete. Your body can produce special high-molecular hyaluronic acid, which can effectively isolate many abnormal cells, including cancer cells, gaining even stronger immunity, and can resist aging.]

[Super Respiration (Naked Mole-Rat): You possess greater utilization efficiency for oxygen and energy. Even in an anaerobic state, you can sustain vital signs through energy for at least half a month.]

[Pain Control (Naked Mole-Rat): You can control pain nerves, selectively turning off pain, thereby maintaining powerful combat capabilities!]

[Gene Stealing (Sea Slug): You can autonomously fuse the genes of other species, thereby acquiring others' abilities, including but not limited to any organisms with genetic concepts such as animals, humans, etc.]

[Light Energy Absorption (Sea Slug): You can continuously absorb external light energy, maintain vital signs, and continuously strengthen yourself!]

[...]

After the body enhancement was finished, feeling the mewly gained abilities, Aaron excitedly clenched his fists.

His body was stronger than ever before, and his Mental Energy was full, practically overflowing.

That was a surging vitality, enough for him to last five thousand years.

He also felt a huge change in his surroundings.

Originally, he could sense surrounding network signals, pheromones, various spectra, etc.

But now he sensed more, and could clearly detect the light energy diffused in the air. His body unconsciously absorbed and stored these energies.

All his cells were exceptionally active and continuously strengthening at a slow pace.

"Am I going to evolve into Superman?"

Aaron took a deep breath to calm his agitated emotions.

He basically had all the abilities Superman had. He also had abilities Superman didn't have. Even if it was just a weakened version for now, the future was promising.

He couldn't deal with Superman right now, but dealing with the so-called Homelander, he imagined, would be easy and pleasant.

Aaron spread his hand, and pale white lightning danced between his fingers. They were like lightning spirits, constantly flying under his control.

With a single thought, he could turn these little flickers into roaring lightning Dragons.

Aaron opened the window and looked into the distance.

He saw the eagles thousands of meters away, saw the artificial satellites in synchronous orbit, their patterns clearly visible, even the components within them.

He also saw the cratered surface of the Moon, the barren Mars, the textures of Jupiter.

And even the Sun, located at the center of the Solar System, the center of the world, the life-giving source high above.

He was staring directly at the sun.

And even... he saw beyond the Solar System, into the more distant starry sky.

Aaron closed his eyes, the scene he had just seen flashing in his mind.

When he opened his eyes again, this time it was no longer a starry sky that induced despair. Instead, he saw down to the microscopic cell structure, even nano-level bacteria, and even smaller... atoms.

At this moment, Aaron felt the world was right before his eyes. He had never had such a subtle experience before.

It was as if he had mastered the logic of the world and witnessed the essence of the world.

Soon, Aaron shook his head, casting aside this inexplicable illusion.

"It's too early now. What I see is merely the limit seen by the human civilization. No, at least I still can't see quanta."

"Even if I could see it, what then? Seeing doesn't equal control. The current me is still too insignificant."

Aaron sighed deeply, his eyes filled with bright light.

"But I believe that I, who can smelt all things, will one day be able to loudly tell all the worlds that everything is in my hands."

Then Aaron turned off the lights in his eyes,

He picked up the test tubes one by one, using the primal furnace's ability to weaken the anti-cancer, anti-aging, and absolute pain relief properties of the naked mole-rat, then combined them with the liquid inside the test tubes.

Then, one by one, anti-aging potions, anti-cancer potions, and pain relief potions were freshly produced.

At this moment, Aaron exclaimed, "Awesome!"

...

Aaron lingered in the room for a while, mainly to sort out his new abilities.

If an ordinary person were to gain so many abilities, they would probably forget what abilities they possessed in the end. Perfect control would be even more difficult.

But Aaron was different. After smelting the computer, his Super Brain was further enhanced.

Although he gained many abilities, he could control them relatively easily and could subconsciously activate or deactivate certain abilities.

This was especially important in battle.

Then, Aaron carried the box and held several test tubes in his hand as he walked out of the storage room.

"Boss."

Norman was already accustomed to the empty room.

He was even more accustomed to the test tubes Aaron got from who knows where. In his eyes, Aaron was full of mystery.

Therefore, Norman dared not provoke Aaron even more. This mystery filled him with awe.

But at this moment, Norman had no time for awe, because he saw the test tubes in Aaron's hand.

He was too excited to speak.

"This... this is..."

"This is the anti-aging and anti-cancer potion I promised you. And a byproduct, the pain relief potion."
