Kryptonians: Man of Steel

Chapter 984: The Movement of the Illuminati
Stark stood in the center of his high-tech laboratory, surrounded by various instruments flashing blue lights and complex circuit diagrams.

This laboratory is not only his workplace, but also the source of his creativity. Countless attempts and failures have given birth to countless epoch-making inventions here.

There were also Saiyan spaceships that were violently dismantled by Stark, as well as Saiyan combat power detectors. Stark even discovered that there seemed to be monitoring components inside the combat power detectors, which made Stark certain that Saiyans had positioning capabilities.

Although he didn't know that this was originally set to be used by Frieza's army to monitor all Saiyans, Luther just copied it.

Stark had destroyed the surveillance components, but he wasn't sure how long that would delay the attack.

Today, his attention was focused on a special being - Hercules, an artificial man that had integrated multiple powerful genes. He was standing in front of him, his eyes sparkling with curiosity and thirst for knowledge.

Stark's original plan was to gradually guide Hercules, first through basic training to adapt his physical abilities, and then gradually introduce more complex cognitive training.

However, plans never keep up with changes.

When Stark was explaining a simple strength training technique, Hercules suddenly seemed to be driven by some inner force. With a speed and strength that almost surpassed the laws of physics, he lifted Stark up with one hand, as easily as picking up a doll.

"Stop, stop!"

There was a hint of panic in Stark's voice, but more of surprise and curiosity.

He didn't expect Hercules to learn so quickly that he could understand and imitate his movements in such a short time.

Hercules seemed to sense Stark's nervousness and immediately loosened his hand, placing Stark steadily back on the ground.

"A mature brain, even one equivalent to an infant, can understand my words and commands..."

Stark muttered to himself, his fingers sliding rapidly across the virtual touch panel, calling up Hercules' latest physiological data.

On the screen, a series of complex charts and numbers jumped, showing Hercules' astonishing growth rate.

His brain activity, the speed of neuronal connections, and the precision of his force control far exceeded Stark's initial expectations.

Stark realized that Hercules was not only a powerful artificial man, but also a miracle with unlimited potential.

The fact that he can control his power so precisely is not only a reflection of strength, but also a perfect combination of wisdom and self-awareness.

Although Hercules' body was as strong as a giant, his eyes revealed a gentleness and innocence beyond his age, which made Stark feel both relieved and a little uneasy.

"Although he doesn't have the Hulk's ability to transform, his basic attributes are enough to amaze people."

Stark thought to himself, remembering the countless times he had tried to replicate the Hulk's powers, but always failed.

The Hercules before him, however, displayed strength that surpassed the Hulk in a more elegant and controlled manner.

A height of 1.8 meters is incredible for an infant android, not to mention that his arm strength exceeds 500 tons. Even in mythology, such strength is enough to rival those demigods.

"Hercules, this name is taken from the Hercules in ancient Greek mythology, it's really suitable."

Stark said softly, as if he were confiding in an old friend.

Hercules, this name is not only a recognition of his power, but also Stark's deep expectations for this creation.

He hoped that Hercules could be like the heroes in ancient Greek mythology, with endless courage and wisdom to face all challenges in the future. As time went on, Hercules showed an even more amazing learning ability.

He learned to speak, although at first only simple words and phrases, but soon he was able to express his thoughts fluently.

Whenever he called Stark "Dad", Stark would feel an indescribable warmth and touch in his heart. This feeling of being relied on and loved was something he had never experienced before.

Hercules learned so quickly that Stark had to speed up his teaching.

He began teaching Hercules more advanced scientific and technological knowledge, from basic physics to complex programming languages ​​to the mysteries of cosmology.

Hercules seemed to have an innate ability to understand, and he could quickly digest and absorb any complex concept and transform it into his own knowledge.

Stark was surprised to find that Hercules even began to raise his own opinions and questions, which were often profound and insightful, forcing him to re-examine certain scientific theories.

"Hercules, you have grown faster than I could have imagined."

Stark lamented during a late night conversation.

"Father, this is not enough."

Hercules said, shaking his head.

He already knew the threat of the Saiyans, and also knew that Stark created him just to be able to deal with the Saiyans.

But Hercules himself had no way or confidence to deal with the Saiyans.

His current combat power is only over 500 points. It may be higher if he participates in gravity training, but it is impossible to reach such an exaggerated level of 10,000 points.

As long as the Saiyans send a few more people over, they won't need 10,000 combat forces. Even if they only have 5,000 or 6,000 combat forces, it will be enough to sweep the entire earth.

Because Saiyans can transform, the destructive power of the giant apes they transform into is extremely terrifying. According to their own statement, their combat power is increased tenfold!

What does ten times mean? The original one thousand points of combat power instantly became ten thousand points of combat power.

All I can say is that the Saiyans truly deserve to be called “the strongest fighting race in the universe.”

"Don't worry, we will work hard together."

Stark patted Hercules' arm. There was nothing he could do. He had grown taller again. With sufficient nutrition and energy, Hercules' height would increase by several millimeters almost every day, which manifested as a visible change in height to the naked eye.

If he continued to grow at this rate, Jarvis speculated that he might eventually grow to a height of over five meters.

That's quite a giant.

At the same time, Captain Marvel Carol Danvers was also not idle.

As the only superhero on Earth with the ability to travel in space, she shoulders the important task of finding the Saiyans' home planet.

Therefore, the coordinate system of the Saiyans' home planet that Stark found from the Saiyan spaceship was given to her to find.
