Chapter 221: The Dark
"Zheng Zha, stop practicing, let's go fishing."

"Yes, yes, we didn't decide a winner last time, let's have another match."

"Wait, what are you three doing? Don't pull me! What's going on?"

When Lin Hao and Chu Xuan found Zheng Zha, he was being dragged towards the river by Zhang Jie, Lingdian Bawang, and another person.

"what's the situation?"

"Holy crap, Lin Hao is helping us." Before Zheng Zha could finish speaking, Zhang Jie pointed to the deep pit next to them and started complaining.

"Look at this kid, he even practices his skills during his rest time. And to make matters worse, he can't control it properly. He almost blew us all up!"

"No, I didn't! I just got here, I don't know anything, that thing exploded right in my hand!"

Zheng Zha wailed, feeling incredibly wronged. He remembered Lin Hao leading them to reset the X-Men timeline, and after they succeeded, everyone was frozen in place, unable to move.

He tried to call out to Lin Hao, but no sound came out. He then tried to see if he could forcefully break free of this confinement by using his qi.

Just as I was holding my breath, the scenery in front of me suddenly changed.

Moreover, not only the scenery, but even his actions and what he was doing changed. He was originally exploding his energy, but suddenly his body began to compress energy into a black sphere in front of him.

Although his body had changed, his consciousness remained the same, and the black ball in his hand exploded.

The explosion not only sent him flying, but also knocked Zhang Jie, Zero Point Overlord, and the newcomers around him out of the air.

If it weren't for the fact that all the newcomers were equipped with energy shields, Zheng Zha would have lost at least three thousand points by now.

With that, no one else dared to let him create any new tricks; they didn't want to die!

Listening to Zheng Zha and Zhang Jie's cacophony of explanations, Lin Hao's lips twitched. "So Zheng Zha, calm down for a moment and think back to your past memories."

"Both your armor and my helmet are immune to time changes, so there should be a completely new memory that's different from the original one."

"New memories?" Zheng Zha scratched his head, somewhat bewildered.

Recalling the second playthrough is not an easy task, after all, not everyone has Lin Hao's high intelligence stat.

To others, memory is a scattered mess, rather than being precisely arranged in two rows, with someone pointing out to you that this is a memory from the first cycle and this is a memory from the second cycle.

If Lin Hao hadn't brought it up, and Zheng Zha had tried to recall it himself, he would have thought that he might have misremembered or mixed things up, and he would never have imagined that there was such a thing as a second cycle of memories.

Now that Lin Hao was speaking, he finally began to carefully recall his past memories.

Then I felt something was wrong, something was a bit chaotic, this seemed to be my own imagination, and that seemed to be my original self.

In short, they all looked pretty much the same, and I almost showed Zheng Zha the red heat.

Finally, as a last resort, he directly activated the third-order gene lock, simulating Lin Hao's thinking, and finally managed to divide his past memories into two parts.

In his second memory, he regained his memories when he heard Lin Hao talking about X-Men. At that moment, his first thought was not to return to the real world.

Stop harming your parents, just change your goal to smashing the main god.

Then he started training extra hard and discovered that although his equipment was gone, his memories, experience, and third-tier gene lock were still there.

As long as the gene lock is unlocked and his emotions when he pushed the moon are simulated, even if nothing happened, he can break through from an A-class Hulk to an S-class Hulk out of thin air.

After that, he went around the world experimenting with his techniques on that alien planet, such as the Black Tornado and the Death Bullet (Frieza's ultimate move in Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2, a weakened version of the Supernova).

He prioritized using seemingly simple and straightforward skills, gradually increasing the difficulty. If Zheng Zha hadn't activated his gene lock, he wouldn't have been able to use this attack method, which demands an extremely high level of internal energy.

He was fine at first, thinking he could train slowly. As long as he didn't have to go back to reality and his parents were safe, he had plenty of time.

As soon as the team battle ended and he returned to the God Space, he lost his memory. All the changes and all the rewards were reset by the God to the first playthrough.

He experienced returning to Earth again, being targeted by the world, being hit by airplanes, cargo ships, meteorites, and even the moon.

In the aftermath of that horrific battle, he didn't even know if his parents were alive or dead.

My blood pressure was already skyrocketing from anger.

Back in the X-Men universe, the memories of the second timeline return, and Zheng Zha realizes that he could have stopped it all. He is so angry that he can normally emanate black flames even without unlocking his genetic potential.

Then, the previously gradual skill development was abandoned, and Zheng Zha began to frantically learn skills that could cause extreme destruction.

Currently, I'm practicing a move that involves compressing a massive amount of air into a single point and then throwing it out.

"What do you mean, the end of the original dark universe?" Lin Hao's lips twitched.

"Huh? Is this some kind of existing move?" Upon hearing Lin Hao instantly name the move, Zheng Zha looked at Lin Hao with curiosity.

This move was just a sudden inspiration of his.

He tried it once when fighting Sentinels, but found that it was too difficult to compress, so he switched to practicing Black Tornado.

Unexpectedly, I picked up this trick again in my second playthrough.

However, Zheng Zha was certain that his other self could not possibly know the exact power of that move, so naturally he had not yet thought about the name of the move.

"Yes, that's a move from a novel. The effect is to compress things to the extreme and create an artificial black hole that crashes into people."

Don't practice this yet. Wait until you've unlocked the fourth-tier gene lock before trying it, otherwise you might really mess it up and kill yourself.

"Oh." Zheng Zha naturally had no objections.

To him, what happened in the second playthrough was just another person's memory.

He could only know what happened at that time, but he couldn't understand the emotions he felt at that time.

He could only retrieve these memories in detail after unlocking the third-tier gene lock; otherwise, his impression of these things would probably not be as profound as a nightmare.

Therefore, he will not fall into the same extreme hatred as his second self.

However, by simulating his own emotions from that period using the third-order gene lock, he can turn them into his combat power.

This allowed his Hulk to reach new heights.

"Stop going up, stop going up, I'm doomed if you keep going up like this." Watching Zheng Zha excitedly trying to increase his strength again, Zhang Jie couldn't help but clutch his chest.

He felt like he was about to have a heart attack from the shock.

If Zheng Zha keeps playing around like this, he'll reach the perfect third-order gene lock.

What if he breaks through to the fourth tier then? How will he survive?
