Zombie Marvel? Luckily, I'm Superman!

Lin Yi's narration lasted for about an hour. As he explained, a complete picture of the real dangers currently facing the Marvel Universe gradually formed in everyone's minds.

The dangers of the future were more perilous, profound, terrifying, and even somewhat abstract than they imagined.

An ancient race that may have existed since the dawn of the universe, an unknown being possessing incomprehensible abilities. They far surpass humanity in both power and accumulated resources. Before these beings, human civilization is as insignificant as cosmic dust.

Despite being mentally prepared, I still couldn't help but feel my heart rate spike and sweat bead on my forehead.

All their previous efforts, including the exhilarating super-gene evolution agent they just saw, are like a toddler ant with a plastic toy challenging an ancient Tyrannosaurus Rex in the face of opponents of these levels.

But they were not discouraged, or rather, they adjusted their mindset very quickly.

Take ten years ago, for example. If they were facing someone like Thanos, it seemed that apart from nuclear weapons, there were no other weapons on Earth that could pose a threat to him. But they still won in the end, albeit at a certain cost.

Moreover, they survived the previous outbreak of the cosmic virus, although Lin Yi's help and contributions were indispensable in both crises.

Time is passing, and they are also developing and gradually becoming stronger.

According to Lin Yi's description, they still have time, even more than they imagined. This means they still have enormous potential for development.

Their greatest fortune in this universe is that Lin Yi is there to hold the line, giving them time to develop.

These were Tony's words. As he spoke, his gaze towards Lin Yi became somewhat complex: "We now understand the level of the threat, and our research direction will become clearer. Let's cherish this time for our development. Our medicine, our teleportation technology, are the first step in our development. Once we take the first step, then the second, and the third."

Regarding inter-universe aid requests, Lin Yi offered some suggestions at the end. He recalled that some cinematic universes even have Sentinels.

The Sentinels are essentially the equivalent of Superman in the Marvel Universe. Their appearance is a result of accidentally ingesting a certain drug.

Of course, this power is also related to individual characteristics and the universe's setting; not everyone who drinks that potion will become as powerful as a Sentinel.

"The power of a million stars... that sounds very tempting." Tony crossed his arms on the table, his eyes gleaming. Perhaps the description of a million stars was a bit of an exaggeration, but it was still well worth the trip for Tony and his team.

It's not just the allure of power; if we could obtain the drug before the Sentinels take it, and if we could study its stable changes and direction, perhaps one day, billions of people on Earth would become "supermen."

That would be such a sight!

Tony quietly added the Sentinel universe to his plans.

As for the universe where the Sentinels resided, Lin Yi obtained some coordinates from the Time Management Bureau's teleporter. The coordinates of parallel universes on this teleporter were incomplete, practically nonexistent. Lin Yi even suspected that the Time Management Bureau had deliberately given them to him, yet he had indeed taken them voluntarily at the time.

Hmm... it's also possible that Black Granny predicted my actions. Since I dealt with the Celestials, Black Granny hasn't contacted me. I wonder what kind of bad thing she's up to.

……

One month later, at the Avengers headquarters, in the newly constructed physical fitness testing and training area.

boom! boom! boom!

The sound of heavy striking echoed from the spacious room.

Inside the room, Tony, shirtless and wearing only athletic shorts, stood in front of a specially made metal punching machine, continuously throwing punches.

The numbers on the metal impact meter kept changing as the impacts were applied.

6.72 tons, 7.13 tons...

A week ago, Tony became one of the first human subjects to receive the super-gene evolution drug. After a brief period of evolutionary pain, he escaped the realm of normal humans unscathed.

The Supergene Project drug is more stable than the data shows and expectations. Tony's physique has not changed much, unlike the exaggerated physical transformation Steve had from a greyhound to a strongman. However, his muscles are more solid, his bone density has increased significantly, and his basic indicators such as nerve reaction speed and metabolic level have all undergone a qualitative leap.

Of course, there were some side effects as well. His weight increased dramatically. This was because the increased bone and muscle density brought real mass. He didn't have Lin Yi's passive, idealistic ability like a biofield, so he didn't dare to share a bed with Pepper now, fearing that Pepper might do *that* if he wasn't careful. Even the bed he was sleeping in now was a reinforced model.

However, Tony had no complaints, since all of this was within acceptable limits under such evolution.

At that moment, Tony took a deep breath, focused his gaze, bulged his arm muscles, and swung his arm vigorously, his fist emitting a faint white light.

Boom!

The force of the blow was much louder than before, and the impact meter vibrated violently before displaying a number.

16.98 tons.

Tony exhaled a breath of stale air and swung his sore arm. This was his most powerful punch to date.

His knuckles were slightly red; the full-force blow to the metal without gloves had caused some minor skin damage. But it healed visibly within a few breaths.

This is a supernatural ability he awakened during his evolution. After using the serum, Tony gained the theoretically possible evolutionary path of supernatural abilities, and now he has an extremely fast recovery speed, as well as the ability to temporarily enhance his strength and physical defense.

"Record broken, sir. Peak impact force 16.98 tons. Congratulations, your current base force output has completely surpassed that of a normal MK97."

Tony picked up a towel and wiped his sweat. Although he was a little tired, his eyes shone with an alarming light: "Not enough, Jarvis, far from enough!"

He knew in his heart that this power was already monstrous on Earth; after all, even Steve, who had used the Super Soldier Serum, predicted that his explosive punching force would only be less than 5 tons. But compared to their real enemies, this was nothing more than a tickle.

"The enhancement of the super-gene evolution agent is an ongoing process, sir. According to your cell activity test data, the enhancement is still in progress and has not yet reached the theoretical peak," Jarvis's voice sounded again.

Tony nodded, dragged his somewhat weak body to the nearby rest area, and plopped down on the soft sofa.

"Jarvis, is the nutritional meal ready? I feel like I could really eat a whole cow now."

This is no exaggeration. As his physique improved, Tony's appetite also became terrifying. After all, according to the law of conservation of energy, he needed more food to convert into energy to support this body.
