Kryptonians: Man of Steel

Chapter 983: Stark's Unscrupulous Efforts
Today, Doctor Doom has successfully summoned four demons, which have wrapped invisible chains around his limbs, giving him unprecedented power.

Every time Doom moved his hands and feet, it was as if there was thunder and the space was shaking. Even the Hulk, who was known for his strength, seemed powerless under the crushing force and could only retreat step by step.

These four demons each represent a different element and sin: the first is the Fire Demon, whose flames can melt steel and turn everything into ashes; the second is the Frost Demon, whose cold is enough to freeze time and put all things into eternal sleep; the third is the Storm Demon, whose roar can tear apart the sky and summon endless thunder and hurricanes; the last one is the Shadow Demon, who lurks in the invisible, manipulating fear and despair, causing the opponent's mind to collapse before his body.

The combination of these four powers made Doctor Doom almost invincible. He seemed like a walking disaster, leaving ruin wherever he went.

However, power always comes with a price.

Doom's own body and soul are under unprecedented pressure.

Although the four demons are powerful, the balance between them is extremely delicate. Any fluctuation in power may break this balance and lead to catastrophic consequences.

Doom could feel that every time he tried to summon more demons, the chaotic energy in his body began to stir, as if it would burst out at any time and devour him.

Therefore, he had to tread carefully to avoid repeating the same mistake and becoming a victim of his own power.

Doctor Doom does not have any super powers, but he is a physics genius, proficient in various high-tech technologies such as robotics, cybernetics, genetics, weapons technology, biochemistry and time travel. He is also a self-taught magician who has read various ancient European magic books.

Known as "practicing both magic and technology".

Doctor Doom was introduced to mystical magic by his mother.

He further developed his abilities by traveling through time to learn lost dark magics from Morgan le Fay and others.

In contrast, Iron Man Tony Stark's preparations were more complicated and controversial.

Faced with the impending Saiyan threat, Stark knows that conventional weapons and defenses can no longer meet the needs.

So, he proposed a bold and crazy plan - to create hybrid warriors of humans and Saiyans, hoping that in this way, he could combine the advantages of both and create powerful individuals capable of resisting the invasion of the Saiyans.

However, once this plan was proposed, it was strongly opposed by members of the Illuminati, who believed that it was a serious challenge to life ethics and a blasphemy against innocent lives.

But Stark is never one to give up easily, especially when it comes to the safety of the earth and his loved ones.

Even though these half-Saiyans are innocent lives, Stark will still let them fight the Saiyans.

Simply producing and manufacturing hybrid Saiyans is not enough, Stark wants to create a strong enough individual.

He conducted this research in secret, using the resources provided by his own technological empire to study cutting-edge disciplines such as genetics and biochemical engineering across fields, trying to find the best combination of solutions.

In order to obtain key materials, Stark even took the risk and secretly collected blood samples from three different Hulks.

Saiyans + humans + Hulk, this is the most powerful combination Stark can think of.

He had no choice, because even though the Hulks had tried their best, their combat effectiveness was still as slow as a snail, so slow that it was frustrating. In Stark's laboratory full of high-tech equipment, the Hulks were undergoing arduous training.

They tear their muscles again and again, and then grow them again in pain, as if they are looking for an opportunity to break through in an endless cycle.

In the gravity room, the Hulks were sweating profusely as their bodies gradually adapted to the environments of double, five, and ten times gravity, until they were able to move freely under the extreme conditions of fifty times gravity.

However, this improvement is still a drop in the bucket for the coming crisis.

Simply strengthening their bodies would not allow them to reach a level strong enough to fight against the Saiyans in a short period of time.

The Saiyans' ability to tap their potential through training and become stronger quickly is beyond their reach.

The Saiyans become stronger not only in terms of their physical strength, but also in terms of their "Chi".

It is a power that transcends the physical level and is a manifestation of the Saiyans' unique fighting instinct and willpower.

As for the Hulks, they can only rely on painful destruction and reconstruction to slowly increase their strength.

This gap made Stark deeply worried.

Deep in Stark's laboratory, strange lights flickered in test tubes. Those were the hybrid embryos he had successfully cultivated after countless experiments.

He believed that by combining Saiyan genes with human intelligence and the Hulk's strength, he could create an unprecedented super soldier.

However, this process is not smooth sailing. Many embryos die in the early stages due to rejection reactions. Even those that survive successfully need to be trained in extreme environments to adapt to the mixed forces in their bodies.

Relying solely on the advantage of numbers cannot really solve the problem. What he needs is a super soldier who can change the situation of the battle on his own.

Therefore, he stepped up the exploration of individual potential, not only providing the most advanced training facilities, but also introducing psychological training to ensure that these fighters have strong wills and clear minds while possessing great strength.

He speculated that the next time the Saiyans invaded, they would either send out all of their forces to win with overwhelming numbers, or send a single individual with absolute power, enough to destroy the entire Earth!
As time went on, Stark's efforts gradually showed results.

A hybrid warrior named "Hercules" stood out. He possessed the speed and strength of a Saiyan, the wisdom and strategy of a human, and the almost unlimited recovery ability of the Hulk.

The appearance of Hercules gave Stark a ray of hope. He believed that this super soldier would become the sharpest sword in the Earth's defense system.

However, Hercules's growth path was not smooth.

Through repeated training, he gradually demonstrated extraordinary strength, but at the same time also exposed some problems.

His power is so strong that sometimes even Stark cannot fully control him, which makes Stark feel both happy and worried.
