American comics: Random transformations

Grumble ~ ~ ~

"I'm so hungry! I feel like I'm going to starve to death if I don't eat something…"

"Kowalski, candy metal, let him eat."

[Okay. Sigh—it seems the metal I secretly saved is doomed.]

The small industrial robot manufactured by Kowalski, carrying a few pieces of steel, rolled to Tian Xiaoban's side.

Tian Xiaoban placed the metal near Garfield's mouth, watching his saliva flow wildly, and then, without warning, he bit down on the metal, gnawing on it like rice cake, devouring the metal piece by piece, even taking a bite out of the metal platform below.

As the metal, filled with gourmet cells, entered his stomach, his hunger was somewhat alleviated.

"Kowalski, go to Gourmet Island, he needs to eat a large amount of food to restore energy."

[Received, estimated arrival in ten minutes.]

"Garfield, what happened after I left?"

Garfield sat up and said, "They fulfilled their agreement with you, extracting the portion of energy within me that belonged to them. Uh, no, that's not quite right, they still left me a little, saying it would be convenient for me to rejoin their side in the future."

"Damn it, I knew these robbers wouldn't give up! Next time if they forcibly conscript you to complete some task, you call me, and I'll go make a scene in their elemental world again!"

Garfield waved his paw:

"Oh, it's not that bad, they at least gave me some benefits, didn't they?

"By the way, I remember you said before that they were restricted to death, what does that mean?"

"That's a complicated matter to explain.

"Simply put, this world is very big, extremely big. So big that besides the universe we are currently in, there are other parallel universes.

【The Green】 is a conceptual element belonging to this universe. It may not be so useful in other worlds, such as the Dark Multiverse, or personal hero universes. Losing the power of 【The Green】, you will be restricted by other worlds, so it's better to simply not use it.

"And the power you cultivate yourself truly belongs to you. No matter which universe you go to, this power will accompany you, and you can use it with confidence wherever you go."

"Listening to you, Ban, do you want to be a cosmic loafer in the future?"

"How can you say I'm a cosmic loafer? It's called a strong person passing through the world! A strong person should do as they please.

"However, don't think about it now. If your strength is not enough, you will be chased around in other universes. Work hard to become stronger, Garfield!"

Garfield was very unconvinced:

"? Are you listening to what you're saying? I can now launch a Spirit Gun that can blow up a mountain, and you're telling me I'm weak?"

Tian Xiaoban's tone also became mocking:

"Heh heh, compared to those monsters who can modify the rules of the universe with a single thought, you are extremely weak!"

"Damn, are other universes that dangerous?"

Tian Xiaoban nodded and continued to explain:

"Of course, each universe has its own characteristics. To give a simple example, let's take 【The Green】.

"Without the power to destroy this entire universe, you can't kill them at all. My transformed Tobey was just taking a shortcut, making them afraid on a spiritual level. If it really came down to a never-ending battle with them, I wouldn't necessarily be able to kill them."

Unless I directly win the lottery and get: X Superman, Pangu, God, or some other supermodel character, otherwise I really can't solve 【The Green】.

Garfield: "I kind of regret letting them take back the power."

Tian Xiaoban rolled his eyes, feeling like all his explanations were in vain: "Stop being a smart aleck! Just remember, you won't suffer by following me."

Metropolis suburbs, a secret military laboratory.

Three floors underground, in a laboratory covered with lead plates, an old man in a colonel's uniform slammed the table in anger:

"So many days have passed, what have you researched?! Tell me! What exactly are you doing!"

The bald old man opposite him, wearing a white coat, looked emaciated, obviously due to irregular work hours. He said tremblingly:

"Colonel, their genes are really too complex, please give us a little more time."

"Bang!" The table's HP was reduced by fifty.

"Damn it, I give you time? Who the hell is going to give me time then? The people above are constantly urging, but you can't give me any results! I'm in a difficult position! Do you know how many people are waiting for this research result?! ! !"

The bald old man raised his glasses. To be honest, they were also frustrated. The research equipment in this place was terrible. The computers were terrible. It was simply a case of having the strength but nowhere to use it. If the computers couldn't calculate anything, what could they do?

"Colonel, forgive me for speaking frankly. You need to understand that those who can stand in this laboratory are already the top scientists in the entire Metropolis.

"We can't do anything, let alone others. Instead of urging us, it's better to get better equipment ready sooner."

The colonel's face turned red with anger, because the other party was right. All the well-known genetic scientists in Metropolis had been "invited" by them. As soon as they arrived, they were locked in this laboratory to study those two Kryptonians.

And this base, apart from having enough underground space and sufficiently hidden ground buildings, has no advantages.

Even the lead plates were hastily installed a few days ago.

This was also a helpless situation. Who told Superman to fly around Metropolis all day long? In order to avoid his sight, they were transported to this remote wilderness.

Many large testing equipment could not be transported over in a short period of time. The colonel was also anxious, but there was nothing he could do.

The people above don't care what problems arise below. If he doesn't do what they ask, his position as colonel will be over.

"Damn it! ! ! Give you two more days, you have to give me something that can fool the people above!"

Perhaps the pressure from the colonel was indeed too great, the bald old man's mind suddenly flashed, and he thought of a good idea. His bitter face suddenly turned into a smiling face.

"Colonel, I think I have a solution!"

"What solution! ! !"

"Let them have a baby!"

"What? What the f*ck, are you kidding me?! ! !"

"No, according to our tests, their physiological structure is roughly the same as humans. Apart from the terrifying muscle density, they are a man and a woman, just right to have a baby!

"As long as there is a Kryptonian infant, I think this thing should satisfy the requirements of the people above."

The Colonel's brows furrowed. It was indeed a good idea, not only could it be brought up now to delay the higher-ups, but also the research on Kryptonians wouldn't stop.

However, the risk wasn't low either. Letting two Kryptonians get together, who knew what problems might arise:

"How confident are you?"

"If I go back now to prepare, I should be able to start implementing the plan tomorrow. If everything goes smoothly, we can also obtain one of our own, a Homelander."

The Colonel's pupils shrank. He had seen that thing before, especially the Homelander inside. He was very tempted.

How wonderful it would be to have a Superman cultivated by their military!

"Very good, you go ahead and execute this idea. I'll figure out how to deal with the higher-ups!"

"Hehe, Colonel, I need you to help us procure a batch of really strong veterinary drugs."

The old man revealed a wicked smile. The aliens probably wouldn't die from it, right?

LexCorp, private secret laboratory.

Lex Luthor, who had been working overtime for a week straight, looked at the finished product in his hand, so excited he was about to drop dead.

He succeeded!

He had successfully extracted the DNA of the ultimate creature from the remnants of that rat.

It wasn't easy, it was too difficult!

Not only that, but he had also further developed this ultimate creature's gene, developing a serum that could compensate for any genetic defects.

"A serum that can adapt to and complete any gene, perfect, too perfect!"

The ghostly blue gene serum suddenly reminded him of a name, Compound V!

Fate was so wonderful, this serum was also developed by Lex Luthor after analyzing that gene for the fifth time.

It could modify, transform, and fuse the genes of two or more organisms, achieving a perfect balance.

What kind of concept was that?

It was equivalent to allowing a rat to have the regenerative genes of a gecko, allowing a person to have the strength of a bear, and the speed of a leopard.

The ten human test subjects who died in his laboratory had already successfully proven the perfection of this serum.

"Compound V? This name doesn't suit you, you should be called 'God Gene'! A 'God Gene' that can create entirely new species like God!"

Chapter 82 Lex's Amazing Product, Compound V

After Lex Luthor finished being excited, he fell into deep thought again.

Because there was only one jar left of the "God Gene" serum, the others were used up in human experiments.

The serum extracted from the bodies of those gene-optimized, superpowered test subjects was far less effective than the jar in his hand.

And the main raw material for making "God Gene", that is, the rat remains with the ultimate creature's gene, Lex Luthor had also completely used up!

If he wanted to continue making it, he would need the ultimate creature's gene.

But this thing… according to the currently known information, only that organization with the green logo had it!

Lex Luthor needed to find the organization behind that penguin in order to continuously manufacture the serum!

"How can there be so little of such a magical thing! It's such a waste!"

Looking at the small jar in his hand, 360 milliliters of "God Gene", which was enough for ten people. Lex Luthor's face revealed a malicious smile.

"With this thing, I don't believe the military people won't be tempted. If they want this "God Gene", they have to help me catch that penguin."

On Gourmet Island, Garfield transformed into a "Horrifying Hungry Beast", frantically eating.

It prioritized eating the strongest creatures on the island, and then, regardless of whether it was stones, trees, soil, or grass, it didn't refuse anything, eating mouthful after mouthful!

The energy from those foods constantly replenished the emptiness in its body, and after eating nearly a quarter of the island, Garfield stopped eating.

"I'm comfortable, I just like this feeling of being full. Burp—"

A satisfied smile appeared on the cat's face.

Tian Xiaoban, on the other hand, looked worried: It's only been one meal, and it's already eaten so much… what if there isn't enough to eat later? It seems like I need to prepare early.

"Are you full? If you're full, go shed some blood there. This cafeteria is yours, if you don't want to go hungry, figure it out yourself."

Tian Xiaoban pointed to the large pit that Garfield had gnawed out, "It's very deep here, you can introduce seawater and raise some seafood to eat."

Hey, that's a good suggestion, I haven't had seafood since I've been here for so long.

"OK, watch me!"

Garfield's cat paw transformed into Nitro's hand again. It skillfully cut open its arm, allowing the blood full of gourmet cells to flow into the pit.

After seeing that there was a small bowl of blood at the bottom of the pit, it controlled the cells to repair the wound.

It transformed its whole body again, Jiemi Garfield appeared. Wings of a Great Black-backed Gull grew out of its back, and it flew to the beach.

The weak sky form that could be blown away by the wind was not suitable for comparing strength with fish, the strong wings of the Great Black-backed Gull were more powerful.

In the air, it used the [Vine Whip] skill to tie out an oversized fishing net. Near the coast, it scooped up a full net of fish and released them into the pit. Hundreds of fat fish were jumping in the pit.

Then Garfield transformed again, Saiya Garfield appeared. His fingertips shot out Qigong waves, piercing through the deep pit all the way to the sea. Seawater poured in through the thumb-sized passage that had been pierced, filling the pit.

"Perfect."

The gourmet cells transformed the surging seawater, and the fish inside were also evolving together during the transformation.

Saiya Garfield quickly grabbed a fish and bit it down in one bite, scales and internal organs included.

"It's delicious, the coconut jelly-like fish innards, the crisp and sweet fruity fish meat, and the ice-cold fish scales on the outside. The taste is really great."

Tian Xiaoban also scooped one up, the taste was indeed good, it had only been a few days, and such delicious fish had already mutated around the island.

Relying on the gourmet cells in this fish pond, if we wait a few more days, maybe a super delicious overlord will be born here.

Garfield kept eating, grabbed another one to eat, and then suggested: "Let's stay for two more days, and leave when we get tired of eating."

Tian Xiaoban thought about it, it didn't seem like there was anything urgent, Gotham… Batman could handle it himself, and there was nothing going on in Metropolis either.

So he nodded in agreement: "Okay."

… … … … … … … … … …

The sun was setting in the west, about to enter the night.
