I sparked a mysterious resurgence in Marvel.

Chapter 492 Cerberus? No, it's Little Black.

Erin gently rubbed the head of the calf-sized hound at his feet, whispering, "Cerberus, is that the little guy's name?"

Not far away, Dr. Banner, who was walking towards Erin, glanced at the unusually docile black hound sitting at Erin's feet before shaking his head and saying:

"This little guy is extraordinary. Its energy is inexhaustible, as if it never gets tired. Its sense of smell is also unparalleled. In addition, it is immune to a certain degree of high-temperature flames and can even spew a terrifying black flame, just like the legendary hellfire, which kills anyone who touches it."

"In addition, this little guy can also become invisible in darkness and shadows. It's not just invisible in the ordinary sense, but truly blends into the darkness, so that even our most advanced detection equipment cannot detect it."

"So Betty named it Cerberus, hoping it would be as powerful as the legendary hellhound."

"However... it seems that it doesn't really like the name itself."

"So, I think if it's possible, you could give it a new name."

Ok.

Upon hearing this, Erin glanced down at Cerberus and asked, "Don't you like the name Cerberus?"

Under the slightly surprised gazes of Erin and Dr. Banner, Cerberus's enormous dog head nodded seriously, as if in response to Erin.

what.

It actually understood what I said.

Is this little guy really as Dr. Banner said, born extraordinary?

Seeing this, Erin, a hint of delight on his face, rubbed Cerberus's head again and said with a smile, "Since you don't like the name Cerberus, I'll give you a new name!"

"Hmm, how about we call you Little Black? Although it's not as imposing as Cerberus, it sounds friendly and matches your fur color well."

Little Black?

Upon hearing the name, Dr. Banner, who was standing nearby, touched his forehead somewhat awkwardly.

This name is not even as good as Cerberus.

correct.

Dr. Banner remembered that Erin named the elf in his mysterious house "Little Monster".

Little monster, and now this little black guy, is it true that our BOSS is terrible at naming things?

Just as Dr. Banner confirmed a certain fact and was secretly complaining, he saw the black hound with dark fur and a strong, powerful body next to Erin, after hearing the simple and unadorned name, "Little Black".

A joyful "smile" appeared on the dog's face.

Ok.

That's right, it's a smile.

Both Erin and Dr. Banner could feel its joy at that moment.

Its thick, powerful tail whipped through the air with delight, leaving trails of afterimages and accompanied by a sharp whistling sound.

The dog disliked the name Cerberus, but preferred the name "Blackie".

This is truly bizarre.

Dr. Banner, who was watching in stunned silence, was unaware that in the occult, names often possess extremely special meanings or a certain direction.

The name Cerberus is powerful, and it can even be said to resound throughout all dimensions.

But its meaning has already been defined.

The first thing that comes to mind when people think of Cerberus is that terrifying three-headed hellhound, not the little black dog.

Having inherited a trace of Fenrir's bloodline, the little black creature understood what the name Cerberus meant from the day it was born.

Little Black has his own pride and has no interest in copying others or inheriting someone else's name.

In contrast, it prefers the ordinary name "Little Black".

of course.

Most importantly, it was Erin who gave it the name.

The little black creature, which almost died in its egg, was born with a powerful sense of perception.

Even before it hatches from the egg, it can project its senses outward and perceive some information from the outside world.

It knew very well who had saved it from near death.

Who gave it the opportunity to transform and be reborn?

Therefore, long ago, Xiao Hei had already decided in his heart that he had a master.

Although the name "Xiao Hei" is ordinary and not particularly imposing, it likes any name given to it by its owner.

········

I was initially a little conflicted about whether the name I chose, Erin, was too common.

After clearly sensing the excitement and joy emanating from Xiao Hei, a smile appeared on his face as well.

Erin bent down and rubbed Xiao Hei's head, playing with it for a while after it had just been given the name "Xiao Hei," before straightening up again.

He walked over to Dr. Banner, who was standing to the side, dumbfounded.

"What's wrong, Dr. Banner?"

Dr. Banner, awakened by Erin's voice, shook his head with a complicated expression: "It's nothing. I'm just glad Betty isn't here. Betty took care of Cerberus... no, she took care of Blackie for over a month, but it has never been this affectionate with Betty before. If she saw this, she would definitely be heartbroken."

"No, I'm not that petty."

No sooner had Dr. Banner finished speaking than a voice of opposition rang in their ears.

Immediately afterwards, another set of footsteps sounded in the corridor of the underground laboratory, and soon after, Betty, looking tired, walked out of the corridor.

After giving Dr. Banner a disapproving glare, Betty looked at the little black dog sitting quietly beside Erin. A hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, and then she walked over and squatted down next to it, giving the little black dog a genuine smile.

"I can only... be happy for it, don't you agree, Little Black?"

Looking at the wet nurse who had been taking care of her since she was born.

Xiao Hei hesitated for a moment, then leaned forward and licked Betty's palm with its tongue.

Betty was pleasantly surprised by Xiao Hei's sudden affectionate gesture, but just as she was about to pet Xiao Hei's head like Erin did, Xiao Hei dodged away in disgust.

What Betty didn't know was that Little Black hadn't just been licking her palm to express affection.

Instead, he left his mark and scent on Betty's palm with his saliva.

Betty was unaware of all this, but Erin, who was standing nearby, saw it all clearly.

Erin even sensed a similar aura to his own from that aura that resembled a mark.

It was a faint, intimidating aura directed at undead creatures.

Although it was very faint, less than one-thousandth of his own, Erin, as the Son of Death, still clearly sensed that wisp of deathly aura.

This wisp of deathly aura, carrying a hint of intimidation, might not seem like much to Erin, but it served as a warning to some ordinary undead creatures.

At least.

From now on, when Betty encounters undead, vengeful spirits, or other dead creatures, they will no longer attack her easily.

This little guy, although he seems a bit arrogant, is still quite cute.

He chuckled to himself.

Erin then turned to Dr. Banner again and said with a smile, "Dr. Banner, I heard from Fregra that you prepared a surprise for me."

Dr. Banner, who had been watching Betty and Blackie's interaction, immediately snapped out of his reverie upon hearing this, and then laughed and scolded, "That Fregra, I was originally going to tell you myself, but I didn't expect this guy to beat me to it."

After making a joking remark, Dr. Banner added, "Let's go to the lab. I can show you the research Betty and I have been working on these past few months."

"Yes, I guarantee it will absolutely surprise you."

Upon hearing this, Erin smiled slightly and said, "Is that so? Then I'll have to see for myself."

A few minutes later.

Erin followed Dr. Banner to the special laboratory on the third basement level.

Inside a simulated glass room in the laboratory, Erin saw seven or eight somewhat withered blood orchids growing beside an artificial pond. On a dead tree by the pond, a massive, blood-red python of the same species was coiled up.

Upon seeing Erin notice the glass room, Dr. Banner took the initiative to explain: "This glass room was built by me to simulate the humidity and temperature of the Amazon rainforest and the growth environment of the blood orchid. In order to recreate the growth environment of the blood orchid as much as possible, I even specially caught a little guy from the Amazon and brought it back."

Looking at the blood-red python coiled on the withered tree, several times larger than Xiao Hei, Erin shrugged.

Ok.

To the Hulk, this python might just be a small creature.

"Although I have tried my best to recreate the growth environment of the blood orchid, some crucial factors are still missing. After several months of transplantation, although these blood orchids have not died, many of them have withered. I estimate that after a while, these blood orchids will eventually be used as experimental materials by me."

"Of course, that's not what I wanted to say."

They walked a distance with Erin for a while longer.

Then we arrived at a laboratory filled with various instruments and a sci-fi atmosphere.

Dr. Banner took a pale red vial from the chilly cold storage and handed it to Erin.

After taking the pale red potion, Erin raised an eyebrow and said, "This is the surprise you gave me."

Dr. Banner laughed and said, "No, this is just one of the surprises."

"This is a new medicine that I created by combining growth factors extracted from blood orchids with a miracle drug and then re-proportioning them."

"I named it Longevity Drug I, and also Miracle of Life I."

"Just like its name suggests, due to the powerful cell activity of the Blood Orchid Growth Factor, the longevity drug can stimulate human cells to divide again. After dividing into new cells, through metabolism, the new cells will replace the old cells, making the human body rejuvenate."

"Based on our experiments, we found that this medication is particularly effective for older people."

"For young people around 20 years old, whose physical functions are at their peak, taking longevity drugs will only increase their lifespan by 8-15 years, depending on each person's constitution and the difference in absorption of the drugs, according to 'Luo's' analysis and calculations."

"However, for middle-aged people around 40 years old, taking this medication often adds 10-20 years to their lifespan."

"The effects are most noticeable when taken by people over 60 years old, with life expectancy increased by an astonishing 15-30 years."

"Of course, since most people over 60 years old have poor physical condition, it is generally recommended to dilute the medicine in a biological therapy chamber and then slowly absorb it in combination with the miracle drug. This will not only maximize the absorption of the life miracle drug's effects, but also reduce the drug's rejection reaction and the risk of drug backlash."

Erin was not at all surprised by the risks Dr. Banner mentioned.

How can one break free from the shackles of life and extend lifespan without any risks?

Compared to the powerful effects of this medicine, the risk of backlash is just a negligible flaw.

Looking at the red potion in his hand, Erin exclaimed sincerely, "The longevity potion is truly a miracle of life, Dr. Banner. Do you know that if the rulers of the Federation knew about this potion, they would all go crazy for it?"

"No, to be precise, the whole world will go crazy for it."

Upon hearing this, Dr. Banner shrugged and said confidently, "Of course, if it weren't for the fact that the effects of this medicine are most noticeable during the first injection, and that I'm still relatively young, I would have already given myself a dose."

Based on the principle of maximizing effectiveness, this longevity drug is clearly most suitable to be taken in old age, after the body's cells have begun to decline.

That's why Dr. Banner made that joking remark.

After the joke, Dr. Banner said seriously, "The company is not in a good position recently. I am not good at handling this kind of thing, but I believe that with this longevity potion, if we use it to win over those in power, we can definitely win over a large number of people in power for our company."

Whether it's a federation or any other country.

Most of the people in power in this world have one thing in common: they are often elderly people.

Fifty or sixty years old is considered young for these people.

For these people, the age of sixty, seventy, or even eighty is often the norm.

For these elderly people who wield immense power but can only watch themselves decay as they age, a longevity drug that can break through lifespan limits, rejuvenate their bodies, restore their youth, and extend their lives by 15-30 years would be something they would truly be crazy about.

Just like Dr. Banner said.

If they were to use the longevity potion to make a deal with those in power, Erin believed that the longevity potion would definitely be able to help their Miracle Group gain a lot of connections and political resources.

Of course, all of this is based on the premise that both he and the Miracle Group can suppress the greedy eyes of those people.

Otherwise, they might not even get to achieve anything.

He and the Miracle Group were torn apart and divided up by those greedy old guys.
