The Witrum of the Marvel Universe

Constantine took a deep breath, took out a cigarette and lit it. "Kid, this line of work isn't as simple as you think. Listen to me, go back and forget everything that happened today. It'll be better for everyone."

Left with no other choice, Leon resorted to his father's connections, saying, "Okay, I'll tell my dad, the all-powerful superhero, about what happened today."

"Ahem...who is your father?"

Constantine couldn't hold back any longer and choked on the smoke, coughing violently.

'Omnipotent Hero? God, he doesn't want anything to do with such a monster; he's just an exorcist.'

Constantine pulled a golden knuckle duster from his pocket and handed it to Leon. "Child, this is a magic-expelling artifact for you. Next time you encounter a demon, you can use this to strike its face hard."

“Listen, we’ve never seen this before.”

Leon underestimated his father's influence among superhumans. He only wanted his father to help him exorcise demons, but it turned out to be a gift to him.

Constantine picked up his bag and left without wanting to stay a moment longer.

The driver, looking embarrassed, took him home and not only refused payment but also gave him $200 as compensation.

What a kind person!

Upon arriving home, Leon quickly greeted his mother, Eve, before returning to his room and lying on his bed to study the newly awakened system.

Aside from making a sound when it first arrived, the system has finally been revived after a full sixteen years.

'System, what do you mean by justice value?'

[Based on each supernatural event the host participates in, the system will assign a rating of justice and evil points. The rating includes factors such as the strength of the enemy, the host's contribution, and the degree of goal completion.]

[By performing acts of justice, the host will gain Justice Points. Justice Points can accelerate bloodline awakening, facilitate bloodline fusion, designate specific abilities to seize, enhance physical potential, and unlock other potential.]

[If the host performs an evil act, they will gain Evil Points, which can be used to remove bloodline abilities or for sacrifices.]

'Do I only gain evil points by doing bad things?'

[No, please don't use the values ​​of Earth's carbon-based life forms to interpret this. The system's labeling of good and evil is simply to help you understand it better.]

[Please explore the details yourself, host.]

The system was like a pre-programmed program; after saying all that, it remained silent no matter how many questions Leon asked.

Open your personal panel.

Name: Lionel

Age: 16

Bloodline: Vitrum (Unawakened – Awakening progress 76%)

Superpower: Manipulation of subatomic matter (unawakened).

"Cough cough cough~"

Leon was both surprised and delighted to see the panel.

The good news is that his Witrum bloodline has already begun to awaken, earlier than most Witrum people. It seems that he will be fully awakened in three or four months and become a true Witrum person.

Surprisingly, in addition to inheriting his father's Witrum bloodline, he also inherited his mother Atom Woman's superpowers.

However, Atomic Woman was able to awaken successfully only after being injected with experimental factors from a young age, and he doesn't know how he can awaken.

Yes, it seems the previous mention of Justice Points could help accelerate the awakening of bloodlines and abilities.

He glanced at it and saw that now, accelerating the awakening of the Witrum bloodline only required 500 Justice Points, while subatomic matter manipulation required 5.

Why is that?

Could it be because Witrum's bloodline is awakening, and even if he doesn't interfere, it will awaken sooner or later, hence the low price?

The manipulation of subatomic matter cannot be activated without the system's assistance, which is why it's so expensive.

Leon couldn't find out the specific reason, but no matter how expensive it was to manipulate subatomic matter, he had to find a way to awaken it, because the ability to regenerate infinitely was sinister.

Witrum's physique is such that it grows stronger with age and battles, and his subatomic matter manipulation allows him to instantly regenerate and return to his peak physical condition when his lifespan is exhausted.

The two combined are absolutely sinister.

He gets stronger the more he fights, and his enemies can't kill him. What kind of Super Saiyan is he?

However, the most urgent task at present is to awaken Witrum's bloodline and find a way to increase his Justice Points.

Leon found Mark downstairs reading the newspaper, his temples slightly gray. "Dad, can you take me with you next time you go to punish supervillains?"

Mark put down his newspaper and firmly refused, "No, that's too dangerous. Your mother won't allow it."

Chapter 5 Peter the Spider

Okay... he knew it.

It's just a trial.

Back in his room, Leon used his computer to contact Ned, the chubby Asian boy from his class who would later become Spider-Man's best friend and buddy.

I remember the other person is a computer genius, so finding out where to find supervillains shouldn't be a problem.

The other party quickly agreed.

In exchange for his help, he had to introduce him to two girls from his classes. He believed that if it were Leon, those girls would definitely agree.

The deal was successfully completed. Ned needs some time to access local surveillance footage, and it was agreed that the item would be delivered to him tomorrow.

Americana's high school students are so idle that Leon suddenly finds himself with nothing to do.

After playing video games for a while and chatting with Gwen for a bit, it was time for dinner.

"Honey, your cooking skills have improved again."

"Hehehe~ It's my pleasure, Mr. Mark."

"..."

Watching his parents flirt at the dinner table, Leon didn't know whether to be happy that their relationship was as good as ever, or to feel troubled by being a third wheel.

He had no doubt that if he hadn't been there, the two of them would have been kissing long ago.

"What's wrong, Leon? You've seemed distracted ever since you came back today. Did someone bully you at school?"

Eve suddenly asked at this moment, as the couple had always been very concerned about Leon's physical and mental health.

"No, how could that be? Who would bully me?" Leon hurriedly explained, feeling somewhat guilty.

brush~

He only felt a gentle breeze on his face, and a fleeting afterimage appeared in the hand of his elderly father, Mark.

"Where did you get those gadgets with strange powers?"

Two pairs of eyes looked over, scrutinizing her.

"Dad, this is an invasion of my privacy... okay~"

Seeing that he could no longer hide it, Leon recounted what had happened that day.

Eve and Mark listened quietly, their expressions gradually becoming serious.

Today's events made them realize that Earth might not be as safe as they thought. Even if Mark could arrive and save his son in 0.1 seconds, what if...?

"Dad, Mom, you don't need to be so serious." Leon shook his wristwatch, signaling for help. "I still have this~"

“You’re right, Leon.”

Mark and Eve exchanged a glance, their expressions softening slightly, and Mark tossed the golden knuckle duster back to Leon. "Interesting little thing, you can keep it."

Seeing that his mother didn't seem to be angry about it, Leon secretly breathed a sigh of relief. His father, Mark, was a kind-hearted person at heart, while his mother was usually the strict one at home.

The father and son have often been criticized.

After quickly finishing his dinner, Leon returned to his room.

Mark walked alone to the courtyard, flew up to an altitude of ten thousand meters, and then took out a piece of Witrum Empire technology, saying, "Have General Craig come to Earth."

The next day.

Leon arrived at the school and successfully obtained a hard drive from Ned.

"I hacked into nearby surveillance footage and some official documents, which recorded all the places in New York City where supervillains might be hiding."

Before handing the hard drive to Leon, Ned said seriously, "Promise me this is just something you're interested in, not something you're going to do to cause trouble for supervillains, right?"

“Of course, Ned, you can trust me completely.”

"So now you can tell me, which girl in our school do you like?"

"Cough cough...Who, Liz?" The image of the sausage-lipped black girl, Peter's crush, popped into Leon's mind again.

These people have such bizarre aesthetics; he still can't figure out what makes black girls attractive.

Shh! Keep your voice down!

Ned blushed and reached out to cover Leon's mouth.

"Okay, I understand. I'll send you my contact information later."

Ned then released his grip. "Thanks, my friend."

boom!
