In the Sand Village, the clones are everywhere, and the Arkham game begins

Chapter 493 House of Evolution
"So, I only utilized about half of the maximum energy output of the pyrometallurgical core."

Back in Kusno's lab, Shimizu took a sip of coffee and looked at the various parameters Kusno had displayed on the large computer screen.

In fact, it's about right. Genos's maximum firepower state can only be maintained for ten seconds.

During this period, Ten-Second Jet possessed the ability to withstand monsters of Dragon rank or higher.

His energy output efficiency can last for about twenty seconds, which is exactly twice that of Genos.

Its power has certainly decreased to a considerable extent, but it still possesses the destructive power of a peak Dragon-level monster.

This has now become his strongest means of output.

If the scorched core could unleash its full power, it would be a powerful means of output for the main body.

Shimizu now has many skills of various types, which are sufficient for most needs, but in terms of attack, her past methods are somewhat outdated.

Pyrothermal nuclei are a good addition.

If they could even manufacture it and give it to Scorpion and his crew, it would be equivalent to possessing a terrifying weapon far more powerful than a nuclear bomb.

"This isn't a big problem, or rather, the problem isn't with you, Mr. Shimizu."

Your invention of the cryogenic coolant is a groundbreaking and groundbreaking invention, and your proposed high-energy cooling superconductor is even more so, as it can significantly increase the upper limit of energy output by sacrificing some energy.

The real problem lies with my pyrometallurgical core. To ensure stable energy output, I implemented numerous safeguards on the pyrometallurgical core to prevent excessive energy output from damaging it.

As long as I can work with your skills, I think these problems can all be solved, it's just that..."

Dr. Kusno's old face suddenly showed a hint of difficulty.

"Does the doctor have some unspeakable reason that prevents him from exchanging technology with me?"

Shimizu looked at Dr. Kusno's expression and asked.

"No, it's just that I feel the technological value of the two sides is not equal. The arc reactor alone is already superior to the pyrothermal nucleus. Although we are not short of energy now, this still represents unlimited energy, not to mention that it also involves the synthesis of new isotopes."

"Dr. Kusno, didn't you say you also had technologies like the Lightning Core and the Dragon Roar Core? That should be enough. If you still feel it's not enough, then please copy and send me a copy of any other engineering technologies that you think are valuable."

Shimizu, on the other hand, didn't think there was anything wrong with exchanging them like this.

Although the value is not equal, Dr. Kusno is worth it!

As someone who can develop the Scorching Core, upgrade Genos to have extreme firepower in the future, withstand Orochi for a short time, and provide Genos with new upgrades afterward, enabling him to have peak Dragon-level combat power even in normal conditions.

This is enough to show what a genius Dr. Kusno is!

He wanted Kusno to owe him an indebted debt of gratitude that he could never repay!
Not to mention that given the relationship between Kusno and Genos, the latter could be brought along as an extra.

Although the "Fund Warrior" is jokingly called the "Invincible Warrior" because he always makes careless mistakes and crashes out, he is actually very talented. Kusno will definitely use this skill on Genos, and then Genos will definitely become a powerful fighter.

"Hey!"

Dr. Kusno sighed.

"Then I'll shamelessly agree. On our first meeting, you're willing to share such important technology with me. Consider it an obligation I owe you. If you ever need any help in the future, just let me know."

"So Dr. Kusno, we're friends now, right?"

Shimizu smiled slightly at Kusno and extended a hand.

"Of course, I would be happy to befriend a young, talented, and powerful hero scientist like yourself."

Kusno smiled and extended his old, thin hand, giving Shimizu a high five.

Cooperation achieved!

……

……

In a remote, deep forest in W City.

Inside the House of Evolution.

A young man in a suit, with a cool and aloof expression and glasses, sat in a chair, watching the screen in front of him replay the scene of the woman killing mosquitoes with water.

Mosquito Girl has a monitor implanted in her body that connects to her eyes, transmitting everything she sees and hears to the House of Evolution in real time.

"His high-tech armor doesn't seem to have improved much compared to the previous times, but according to some video materials released by the Hero Association and detection results obtained through other channels, without exception, it shows that Black Lightning's strength has improved extremely rapidly in the past six months."

At first, it took him almost a minute to deal with a Tiger-level monster, but now he can defeat Mosquito Girl, whose strength is among the top in the Demon-level, in a shorter time. According to data model calculations, there is a greater than 70% probability that this is due to the significant enhancement of his physical body in the past six months, and it is much faster than the targets he has monitored in the past, such as Superalloy Darkshine and Watchdog Man.

This suggests that his body may have broken his limiter multiple times within the past six months! Even if not, it at least demonstrates that his body has extremely high potential, representing a direction of human evolution and possessing immense research value!

Genos pushed up his glasses, a thoughtful look flashing across his young face.

Although he looks no more than thirty years old, he is actually a seventy-year-old man who has used advanced biotechnology to rejuvenate himself and maintain his youth.

The House of Evolution exists as a tool for Genus to create perfect life forms through technological means.

This scientist's goal is to evolve a perfect life form through his research at the House of Evolution to replace humans.

Even a powerful S-class hero like Zombieman from the Hero Association was just one of Genus's experiments.

Although, that is his second most powerful work to date.

"This is a bit troublesome. Since Mosquito Girl is no match for Black Lightning, then it would be the same if it were Beast King or Armored Gorilla. However, if it were Asura Rhinoceros Beetle, it shouldn't be a problem."

Genus rested his chin on his hand, lost in thought.

Genus held great expectations for the Asura Rhinoceros Beetle.

In its normal state, the Asura Rhinoceros Beetle already possesses Dragon-level combat power, and when it activates Asura Mode, it becomes an absolute superior Dragon-level being.

The S-class heroes of the Hero Association vary in strength. If it were someone like Tatsumaki or Superalloy Darkshine, who are absolutely top-tier among S-class heroes, Ashura Kabuto might not be a match for them, but they would be more than capable of dealing with most S-class heroes.

According to data analysis, Black Lightning's current strength level should not be above the upper Dragon level.

However, the difference shouldn't be too significant.

If we could lure it to the Asura Rhinoceros Beetle...

A slight smile appeared on Genus's lips, as if he could see both sides suffering heavy losses, and then being captured by him and used as research material.

The key now is how to attract people here.

Genus had an answer in mind.

a few days later.

In a large, secluded villa in Qingshui.

A teleportation circle opened, and Shimizu, dressed in black warrior armor, stepped out.

He has benefited greatly from his exchanges with Dr. Kusno these past few days. He has already mastered the method of making pyrometallurgical nuclei.

In addition, Kusno has also obtained the technical data for energy cores such as the Lightning Core, Electromagnetic Core, and Dragon Roar Core, which are used by Kusno to improve output power.

During this process, Shimizu also had a discussion with Dr. Kusno, and on the spot used some of the magical nanoparticles and freezing coolant to create a new pyrometallurgical core and remove the above restrictions.

Although we didn't test it because we were worried about causing any more problems, and we don't know if we can truly unleash the full potential of the pyrometallurgical core, it will definitely be much stronger than the last time.

"Hmm? Someone outside... is watching me? And using some kind of telepathic ability?"

As soon as Shimizu stepped out of the teleportation circle, she curiously turned her head towards the open space outside the house.

Within a ten-mile radius, everything is within the perception range of the Transparent World. Coupled with powerful mental abilities, the least feared are sneak attacks and ambushes.

For example...

Shimizu silently walked to the door.

"Dang~!"

With a sharp blade drawn, a blurry green figure brandished a scythe and pounced on the clear water like a spring.

"boom!"

Yellowish-green flesh exploded, and a mantis head rolled a long way in the direction of Qing Shui's punch.

Immediately afterwards, Shimizu casually stepped down.

“Gen character · Earth Dragon Turns Over”.

The ground trembled, and a strange-looking man resembling a groundhog was thrown out, dazed and confused.

"You've got some skills, let me test your abilities!"

A bold voice rang out, and a man stood upright. A magnificent and tall lion brandished its sharp claws and charged towards Qingshui.

With the black steel longsword drawn, Shimizu turned and swung it, raising a bright blue mirror.

The next second, the lion king's mane broke off, and his strong body was covered with streaks of blood, which quickly healed themselves under the writhing muscles.

"Not bad, better than Mosquito Girl."

Shimizu looked at the lion-like monster and offered his assessment.

This guy must be at the peak of the Ghost level to retain some fighting power after taking a casual sword strike from me.

If nothing unexpected happens, this lineup should be sent by Genus from the House of Evolution.

So besides this big lion, there should be...

The pebbles on the ground trembled slightly, and a mechanical electronic voice came from the front door.

"I am the embodiment of the wisdom of the House of Evolution, Armored Gorilla. The doctor needs to see you. Please come with us."

The armored gorilla, whose size rivals that of the Beast King and whose entire body is covered in steel armor, is walking step by step toward Qing Shui with its hands hanging down on the ground in front of it.

"Hmph! I don't need your interference! This guy is very strong, which will give me a good laugh and let the Doctor know who the House of Evolution's most reliable fighting force is!"

The Beast King blocked the armored gorilla with one hand, a cold smile appearing on his ferocious face, and he reached out and licked his sharp claws.

Shimizu was thinking about how to prevent the aftermath of the battle from damaging his villa.

Although there are seals on the walls of the house, which can easily withstand attacks from monsters below the Demon level, if it were a Demon-level monster like Beast King who is good at attacking, although it could withstand it for a while, it would definitely be damaged and need to be repaired.

Before Shimizu could come up with a solution, the Beast King charged forward, brandishing its claws and unleashing its ultimate attack.

"Lion Slashes Through the Flowing Force!"

Sharp wind blades flew out from the Beast King's claws, and its massive body crushed towards Qing Shui like Mount Tai.

"Breath of Separation - Land Form - Dragon Night Dance!"

Compared to her previous casual attacks, Shimizu was truly serious this time and used all her strength.

He worried that failing to resolve the battle quickly would damage his house and lawn.

A series of cold, sharp sword lights flashed by, and the world seemed to be reduced to only gray and white.

The sharp shockwaves emanating from the Beast King's claws were deflected by the sword energy that transformed into a swirling dragon, before crashing head-on into the Beast King's massive body and shattering into pieces.

Qingshui's figure appeared behind the Beast King at some point, flicking the black steel longsword in his hand and shaking off the blood on it.

The giant, humanoid lion-faced beast, which was four or five meters tall, also fell silent at that moment, its body disintegrating into neat chunks of flesh, with blood splattering everywhere.

The villa in Shimizu was undamaged except for some bloodstains.

Hmm, I'll have to build a few cleaning robots later.

It would also be reasonable to give the robots some more ammunition and magical artifacts.

"You just said that your PhD invited me?"

Shimizu turned his head and pointed his sword at the armored gorilla.

"Crack—bang!"

The armored gorilla's steel mask was precisely cleaved in two by the sword, falling to the ground and revealing its large, black, coal-like gorilla face.

The latter was so frightened that he raised his hands in surrender, and cold sweat poured down his face.

"Um...yes, no, uh, it's an invitation, but not like this. I originally planned to invite you politely, but who knew that the Beast King and the Mantis would be so impulsive. You see, I was perfectly fine and didn't fight you. It was all their doing."

The armored gorilla was rambling incoherently, while the groundhog, Tulong, ran up to the armored gorilla's side.

Two chubby oddballs followed behind, one a pink slug and the other a hopping frog, looking flustered and silly.

"Yes, yes, we are all sincere. We want to make friends with you on behalf of the Doctor. It's all the fault of the Beast King and his gang!"

"That's right, that's right, hero, please spare us! We're always bullied and oppressed by the Beast King and his gang, we have no choice but to obey his orders!"

The three monsters, whose strength was quite good among the Tiger-level monsters, simultaneously slid down, raised their hands, surrendered, begged for mercy, and kowtowed, all in one smooth motion.

The armored gorilla paused for a moment, then quickly joined the ranks of those begging for mercy.

"Want to live?"

"Yes!" ×4.

"Then lead the way. I'd also like to visit your doctor."

Shimizu smiled and said to the four strange people.
