A Bizarre Adventure Starting with One-Punch Man

The laboratory was brightly lit, clearly indicating that it was in operation year-round.

Besides the various scientific research devices, the most eye-catching of them are two large cabins that vaguely resemble human figures.

One is a biological android incubation chamber filled with nutrient solution, and the other is the final armor that Dr. Kuseno customized for Genos, which is of course in an unfinished form.

Thanks to the various advanced technologies provided by Johnson, Dr. Kuseno's original vision for the final armor changed from a mechanical body to wearable armor, which naturally lengthened the development cycle.

It's definitely not due to any strange designs infused with scientists' obsessions!

Because the final armor also incorporates nanotechnology from the Marvel universe, the armor's design can be freely customized according to the user's needs.

Even if Genos were to acquire a human body, it would be easy for him to appear in a familiar form to the public.

"Ahem... That's the general situation, Mr. Qiao Sen."

Dr. Kuseno introduced the specific progress of the android project under Johnson's suspicious gaze, and then his expression became serious. He said, "Genos's only remaining original organ is his brain, but I am not yet 100% confident that I can successfully transplant it into the android's body."

"After all, replacing Genos's body with a cyborg was a last resort. Both the brain-computer interface and the neural connection procedures were extremely risky. Fortunately, the kid was lucky, and all the procedures were completed without any major incidents..."

"I see."

Johnson nodded in agreement. Although Dr. Kuseno's modifications to Genos were already quite cyberpunk, no matter how advanced the technology, it was still science.

Scientific experiments always carry the risk of failure, and Dr. Kuseno, who regarded Genos as his own grandson, would never want the child to experience the risk of losing his life again unless absolutely necessary.

This is no longer the usual care and love of an elder for a younger generation; it is the bond of kinship that has been built between the two over the years as they have depended on each other for survival.

"So why doesn't the doctor come to find me?"

"……Eh?"

Faced with Johnson's resentful look, Dr. Kuseno had a completely bewildered expression, as if to say, "I have no idea."

No way, you really know this technique, even I'm not confident about it!?

Chapter 481 Androids, But Genos (Part 1)

It was difficult for Johnson to explain to the old scientist what "snapping his fingers and getting whatever he wanted" meant, so he just made up an excuse to brush it off.

"Don't worry, Dr. Kuseno. Now that the artificial human body has been modified, leave the final transplantation step to me."

He patted his massive, convincing chest muscles and gave his assurance, saying, "If science can't solve a problem, leave it to theology..."

"……what?"

"No, I mean we should leave it to superpowers to solve."

Ultimately, Dr. Kuseno reluctantly agreed to the Johnson Plan.

After all, half of the projects he's currently focusing on were provided by this young man, plus there's his relationship with Professor Genos...

It should be... fairly reliable, right?

The thought of Genos soon regaining a true human body made even the usually calm and collected Dr. Kuseno a little restless.

The elderly scientist, visibly agitated, asked, "Mr. Qiao Sen, is there anything I can do to help you?"

"No need, I can do it."

Johnson gestured for Dr. Kuseno to relax, and the next moment, azure telekinesis spread outward from beneath his feet, quickly covering every corner of the laboratory.

Dr. Kuseno was relieved to see this unscientific scene, since whenever Genos returned to the research institute and talked about life in Z-City, he would always mention it to some extent—

Mr. Johnson's superpowers are practically omnipotent!

Because of the existence of the "mind network," Dr. Kuseno's psychological activities were completely visible to Johnson.

Sure enough, Genos is a good kid; he won't forget how good you were to him, even when he's away from home.

After offering a few words of comfort to the old scientist, "MindNet" took full control of the research institute. The lights in the incubation chamber containing the artificial human body flickered and then suddenly turned on.

"……Eh?"

Just as Dr. Kuseno was about to say that the nutrient solution inside had not been emptied, he saw the pale yellow liquid, freed from the constraints of the hatch, standing upright in place under the blue light, defying the laws of physics, without any sign of leaking out.

The next moment, the fair-skinned boy who had the same face as Genos, who was immersed in the liquid, slowly floated out.

Johnson raised his finger and unleashed a magical wave of light mixed with seven colors, which transformed into a large, fluffy robe that wrapped around the android's body.

With "super vision," eyes scanned the young body with its perfectly sculpted muscles. The "permanent energy furnace" located in the heart was continuously generating energy and transmitting it to every cell of the body, giving this body a vitality far exceeding that of ordinary life.

—That really is, achieving everything in one go!

The thought that Genos could basically reach the threshold of "half-step baldness level" with this body made Qiao Sen smile like an uncle watching his child grow up.

"Doctor, I'm about to begin."

"...Okay, okay!"

After reminding Dr. Kuseno, Johnson snapped his fingers and pulled Genos's main body, which was lying in the maintenance pod.

Genos, who was reviewing his carelessness with his eyes closed in the maintenance bay, suddenly opened his pale golden electronic eyes and saw the two people closest to him in the world.

Saitama:? ? ?

"...Doctor, Mr. Johnson?"

“Relax, Genos,” Johnson stepped forward and patted Genos on the other side of his shoulder, which was still intact. “I’ll take care of the repairs this time.”

The cyborg boy was only surprised for a second before he immediately nodded quietly: "Okay."

As a close friend of Saitama, Mr. Johnson held almost the same importance in his heart.

After all, both of them were among Xiao Jie's targets for becoming his apprentice.

"Get ready, the experience that's about to begin might be a little bit unscientific."

"……Eh?"

Snapped--

As they were speaking, their fingers snapped again.

Genos was slightly taken aback by Johnson's reminder, feeling as if the world before him had suddenly become like a negative, expanding briefly and then contracting abruptly.

"Za Warudo!"

When Genos came to his senses, he found that Dr. Kuseno had frozen in place as if a pause button had been pressed, and only Johnson and he were able to move around in the entire laboratory.

This time, however, Johnson only paused the time inside the laboratory.

Otherwise, I'll have to endure Saitama's eye-rolling again when I get back.

"Ah this..."

Before Xiao Jie could finish wondering, a large amount of backup data stored in the core was read in a very short time. His consciousness was filled with past memories, and he felt dizzy as if he were on a roller coaster.

next moment.

Genos, who was in the air, raised his almost completely transparent light blue hands in surprise, his small face full of confusion and astonishment.

With limitless power, Johnson can manipulate matter and souls as easily as eating and drinking.

Now he possesses limitless levels of creative ability, and the problems that Dr. Kuseno struggles to solve even have more than one solution in his eyes.

Johnson's chosen solution was to discard Genos's already obsolete and broken mechanical body, and stuff his soul and the only remaining human organ—his brain—into his android body.

As for the brain that comes with the modified human body, it merges with Genos's original brain under the intervention of the cheat device of infinite power.

There was no trace of surgery.

Before Genos's soul could react, the rollercoaster-like sense of distortion returned.

Xiao Jie felt a sudden darkness before his eyes, and then he heard a long-forgotten, unfamiliar voice—

dong dong!

dong dong!

This is a heartbeat!

A strong, powerful heartbeat!

In that instant, the boy's usually mechanically calm mind, usually reserved for battle, was filled with uncontrollable excitement.

Aside from being prone to carelessness in battle, Genos is generally a smart and good kid.

He quickly realized what he had gained from his previous experiences and the changes in his body.

Body!

A living, breathing human body!!

In a state of heightened emotion, Genos's soul merged into his new body, and his will once again took over this brand-new physique.

He then discovered that his happiness for the day was still going strong!

Throw tiles!

Energy-filled blood flowed through my body, and the surging power almost soared to the heavens!

boom--

A powerful aura, equivalent to a Super Saiyan 1 combat power, erupted from the boy's body. If it weren't for the psychic field that Johnson had set up in advance to resist the burst of this power, not to mention Dr. Kuseno's research institute, even the nearby W City would have been razed to the ground in an instant!

Genos was startled when he realized that his current power was completely different from that of his cyborg days.
