The Comprehensive Evolution of American Comics.

Chapter 1047

Receiving such a generous gift suddenly made it impossible for Connor to remain calm, no matter how composed he was. However, having learned from the experience of S.H.I.E.L.D., he did not activate the super bracelet immediately.

However, Yang Le, noticing Connor's doubts, said there was no need to worry.

"Try rotating the dial." Yang Le tapped the super-powered bracelet. "By rotating the dial, you can choose how much of the Kryptonian power you need to use."

"There are five levels, ranging from 60% to 100%. If you are worried that you will not be able to adapt, you can choose to start with 60% and adapt for a period of time."

Upon hearing this, Connor extended his right hand and rotated the dial. The dial had clear markings, and even if Connor didn't use some force, he could only rotate it one gear at a time.

After shifting the gear to 60%, Connor didn't notice much change in himself; it was completely different from the impending storm he felt after putting on the Shield.

Yang Le then instructed Connor to tap the dial, and after Connor did so, he found that the dial lit up and displayed rows of data.

"After mimicking Kryptonian genes to 60%, your original super strength and other superpowers will increase, but you will not gain any further superpowers."

Upon hearing this, Connor shifted the gear to 70%. This time, unlike before, Connor could feel a slight change in his body, and the markings on the watch face also changed.

"At seventy percent, in addition to the further enhancement of your original superpowers, your biofield has also been strengthened, and you can now fly."

Yang Le's data was not unfounded; it was calculated using Crab Armor Wisdom Star, and with the addition of equipment simulation, the accuracy rate was at least 90%.

Upon hearing that he could fly, Connor immediately held his breath and focused intently on his feet. After a dozen seconds, his heels lifted slightly until both feet left the ground.

"Wow!"

Connor felt like an astronaut on a space station, his body spinning uncontrollably in the weightless environment. It took him more than ten seconds to finally regain his balance.

"At the 70% tier, you already possess most of the superpowers of Kryptonians, so I also suggest that you only keep the tier at 70% for now."

Connor nodded, agreeing with Yang Le's opinion. He felt that if the challenge were raised further, Yang Le might not be able to handle it as much as before.

"Biofield is a Kryptonian's ability to protect themselves. Wait until you can fully control your biofield before considering tiers of 70% or higher."

As Yang Le spoke, he turned on his communication device and spoke to Connor under his curious gaze.

"This is Yang Le. I found Connor. Tell Megan not to worry. We just encountered an emergency here. We'll go back after we resolve it."

Hearing this, Connor remembered that he had a date, and the thought of leaving Megan waiting for hours made him uncomfortable.

"It's nothing, just a few minor characters. It's just that the situation is a bit complicated. I can take this opportunity to guide Connor. Um, remember to tell Megan Connor that it wasn't intentional to break the promise. Um, once we've dealt with it, we'll head back."

After explaining for a few minutes, Yang Le hung up the phone, and was immediately greeted with a grateful look from Connor.

"Thank you very much, Mr. Yang."

"Just call me Yang." Yang Le put away his communication device. In general, in the United States, older people who are familiar with each other are addressed by their first names, at most with "Mr" or "Ms."

"Let's go see your brother first, we can talk about the rest later."

According to the address given by Luther, Yang Le and his companion quickly arrived at their destination. Connor originally wanted to fly over by himself, but Yang Le felt that would be too high-profile, so he insisted that Connor ride Ball Ball.

It's common knowledge that Superboy can't fly. If he suddenly took to the air in the city, it would definitely attract the attention of the Justice League, not just the general public.

Yang Le's original intention was also to let Connor and the Justice League confront each other, but they still have other things to deal with, so it's better to avoid trouble.

The location where the enemy is stored is in the wilderness of Fire Valley State Park, located underground, just like the Cadmus Research Institute. If it weren't for the address provided by Luther, finding this place would have taken a lot of effort.

Following the navigation instructions, Connor led Yang Le to the foot of a protruding rock wall. Connor simply placed his phone, which served as a navigation device, near the rock wall, and the rock wall began to move horizontally amidst a slight tremor.

After waiting for about ten seconds, the entrance below the rock wall was fully revealed to Yang Le and his companion; it was a staircase extending underground.

Yang Le and Connor exchanged a glance before entering the entrance one after the other.

Connor even quickened his pace and switched places with Yang Le. Although the latter didn't need his protection, Connor's small gestures were indeed heartwarming.

The stairs weren't very long, and the two soon arrived at an armored door. Just by looking at the surface, one could feel the thickness of the door.

Connor placed his phone against the access control next to the armored door, just like before, but after waiting for a while, the access control did not respond. It seemed that Luther did not give them permission to open all the doors.

“Clearly, Luther wants to force you to use the power of Aegis.” Yang Le leaned closer and knocked on the armored door. “This door is so thick that the original you couldn’t have broken through it. If you don’t use Aegis, this first step will trap you.”

"Didn't he even consider that I might just turn around and leave?" Connor frowned; he really disliked this feeling.

“You won’t, Connor.” Yang Le leaned against the tunnel wall. “If you were that kind of person, you wouldn’t have listened to Luther and come here to save a complete stranger, a ‘brother’.”

"Luthor took advantage of your kindness, which is why he often had the upper hand in his battles with Superman. But recently, Superman isn't buying it anymore, so he's thinking of training a new Superman to be used as a weapon against him."

Connor lowered his head, but Yang Le snapped his fingers to bring him back to his senses.

"There's nothing to be confused about. Saving lives is never wrong. You'll eventually figure out right from wrong, but the person in front of you is someone you can only save right now. You have to understand that..."

"That thing that came late can hardly be called justice."

Yang Le's voice wasn't loud, but his words were indeed resounding. Connor was stunned for a few seconds before nodding heavily.

"I understand, Mr. Yang."

If addressing Yang Le as "Mr." before was out of courtesy, then Connor's current use of this form of address is absolutely out of genuine respect.

"Please move aside, I'm about to break through this 'obstacle'."
