However, a few people were not immediately converted into suicide soldiers. Those people were sent to the hospital of destiny to wait for treatment, but the chance of recovery was very small.

On the hospital bed, a Valkyrie's skin had turned completely ashen gray, with purple lines on her arms that spread into her hospital gown. It was estimated that her entire body was covered in such marks, a sign of the Honkai energy's deep penetration. Perhaps the next moment, this Valkyrie would die.

Otto sighed at the opportune moment: "Another soldier is about to leave us."

At the same time, he was also observing Karl's reaction.

Karl immediately turned to Otto and said, "Please stop your presentation for now, Mr. Otto. Please tell me where the information about Honkai Medicine is. There's still time; she won't die."

Otto immediately pointed out a direction to Karl.

When Carl flew there, he discovered that his destination was actually an experimental base, fully equipped with various facilities and staff members moving around inside.

As Karl arrived, the staff received Otto's orders and evacuated to make room for him.

Many ongoing experiments were also brought to a standstill, which greatly displeased the researchers who were unaware of the facts.

The research projects that Destiny had given them were already quite conservative, which meant they hadn't been able to fully enjoy them. Now, an order had forced them to stop what they were doing.

While it wouldn't be considered disobeying orders, it was inevitable that they would feel unhappy, especially seeing Karl in his battle suit with his muscular physique, someone who was about to take over their precious research lab.

Standing reluctantly outside the base, the person in charge, an elderly doctor with gray hair, couldn't help but express his dissatisfaction to Otto, who had just given them orders over the communicator.

"Your Excellency, you gave us a death order to evacuate immediately, just so you could leave the laboratory to this weirdo in a Superman suit?"

Over the communicator, Otto replied, "Not a weirdo, that's a real superman."

The old professor was somewhat speechless. Despite his age, he knew Superman, but since the person opposite him was his superior, he did not directly refute him.

Instead, he said, "Even if that's the case, Superman and the Honkai have absolutely nothing to do with each other. The equipment here exists to study the Honkai, so what's the point of looking for Superman?"

Otto smiled on the other end of the communicator and said, "He's Superman, he can do anything."

……

Karl entered the laboratory, where the computers contained most of the research data on Honkai. Otto must have concealed many finished products, but the data here was enough for Karl to make an anti-Honkai drug.

Superman rarely uses his research talents, but that doesn't mean he can't; he just doesn't need to use them normally. Once he really unleashes his research, his speed is enough to crush anyone.

In one comic book, Superman once learned modern medicine from scratch. He spent five minutes researching and then learned knowledge that ordinary people would take decades to master, and he cured a patient who had baffled doctors on the spot.

Innovation may require inspiration, but if there is readily available information, Superman is capable of learning any knowledge in a short time. The same applies to Karl, as long as he truly and completely unleashes his super brain.

With his brain working at full capacity, Carl felt like the whole world had changed. Time seemed to stretch out countless times, and information that he usually ignored was now being processed one by one. He even had the illusion that he was now omniscient and omnipotent.

"This feeling is really annoying. The overwhelming information processing power is inevitably causing my thinking to tilt towards absolute rationality. I'd better end this quickly."

Karl turned on all the computers in the base and had them play different materials simultaneously. Karl then traversed through them at super speed, memorizing everything without missing a single word.

These materials were organized and categorized in his mind, and then, using them as a springboard, new inspirations emerged from them.

The lab equipment started working, and Karl was already trying to create anti-Honkai drugs.

He's really giving it his all now, and the mental exertion is also considerable. Carl is actually more tired now than when he was fighting Kevin.

However, such expenditure is worthwhile.

Ten minutes later, Carl held up a test tube containing the finished product he had painstakingly created.

This medicine is highly effective, directly neutralizing Honkai energy in the body without any side effects, but its most important advantage is not that.

Rather, it is because its cost is low enough to make mass production possible.

The world does have potions that can counteract Honkai energy, but they are extremely rare. In the early stages of the pre-civilization era, they would even extract a pitifully small amount of antibodies from the cells that survived the dead. Hundreds or even thousands of people would die in exchange for one person's Honkai disease being cured.

But that won't happen anymore. With Karl's potion, no one will die from Honkai energy corruption anymore.

Carl quickly produced another box of potions using the same method and then returned to the hospital in Destiny.

Karl picked up the syringe and injected the potion he had created into the several Valkyries who were already critically ill.

“You’ll be alright,” Carl said.

The Valkyries, who were in a coma, had been enduring the pain of the Honkai with ferocious expressions, but with the injection of the medicine, they gradually relaxed and their breathing became even.

At this moment, Karl said to Otto, "Mr. Otto, thank you for your trust. These are anti-Honkai drugs that I manufactured. I have recorded the formula. The cost is not high. I believe that with the strength of Schicksal, we can successfully manufacture the production line."

Regardless of Otto and the true nature of the Destiny organization, these Valkyries fighting on the front lines genuinely desire to fight for all that is good in the world.

Carl also acknowledged that they deserved a better life instead of being killed by their former comrades.

Karl considered himself an ordinary person with no desire to emulate the behavior of people willing to sacrifice everything for their ideals, but he hoped to do something for them.

Chapter 128 Resurrection is Taboo

Karl knew that Otto was playing the emotional card, probably trying to gain his trust and help, but what did it matter?

He always does what he wants to do. Even if Otto didn't use these methods, Karl would probably still create anti-Honkai drugs. There are too many people in this world who need them, and those people have nothing to do with Otto.

Otto accepted the medicine and then bowed solemnly: "Mr. Superman, thank you very much for everything you have done for this world. Rest assured, Destiny will be responsible for sharing the formula for this medicine. We will never delay the lives of others for our own benefit."

Otto captured Superman's character very well. For a real Superman, he never cared about how much he sacrificed, but only whether his actions could truly help others.

Carl nodded in satisfaction.

At this moment, Otto seemed somewhat hesitant and spoke up: "Mr. Superman, I know this might sound a bit presumptuous, but I actually have another request, I wonder..."

"Please speak. If it will help make the world a better place, then I will naturally help if I can." Karl was somewhat curious about how Otto would express his true needs.

Otto cleared his throat and said, "That's right, we once researched the technology to eliminate Honkai energy, and at that time we successfully eliminated all the Honkai energy in the body of a suicide soldier."

"The assassin quickly lost her activity, but during that brief period, we detected brainwaves in her brain. What does this mean? It means that the assassin may still retain human consciousness."

"We didn't tell anyone about this because it would only put unnecessary psychological pressure on the Valkyries. We can't bring the dead back to life."

“But now that you’re here, Superman, things might be very different.” As he said this, Otto’s eyes gleamed with even more brilliance.

However, Karl replied, "I'm sorry, I don't have the means to resurrect people."

"No, you do!" Otto suddenly exclaimed, then realized his behavior was somewhat inappropriate.

"Ahem... I'm sorry, I got a little too excited, but Mr. Superman, there are plenty of ways to resurrect people in the DC universe. It's too hasty of you to just say there aren't any."

When Bronya returned for the first time, Otto learned that the DC universe was real. After that, he searched through a large number of related works and found many methods to resurrect people.

Karl shook his head and said, "Mr. Otto, our worlds are very different. This world has no heaven or hell, and we can't even be sure whether people have souls."

"Moreover, reversing life and death is taboo, and usually comes with a more serious price. Mr. Otto, you should not think too much about it and focus your mind on this."

There are indeed many ways to revive people in DC, and Carl even has one: the strange spring located underground in Gotham City.

That spring water can revive people who have been dead for a short time and whose bodies are intact, but the effect is very poor. Not only is the success rate low, but even if they are revived, they may only be a walking corpse, or they may appear to be fine on the surface, but become irritable and easily angered.

Karl couldn't come up with a way to perfectly resurrect someone at the moment, and he didn't have any intention of resurrecting people at the moment; Otto's wish was irrelevant to him.

“What about reversing time?” Otto asked, still not giving up. “I remember the Flash did that.”

"You mean Barry?" Karl said. "Resurrecting people is taboo enough, but reversing time is the taboo of taboos. Since you know about this, you must understand how much Barry regrets traveling through time, right?"

Otto was speechless after being questioned by Karl, it seemed that the other party really had no intention of providing him with the method of resurrection.

"I'm sorry, I was indeed too greedy. Just pretend I didn't say anything. I'm going to work on the drug formula now, so I'll be leaving for a while."

“Mr. Superman, how about I have someone show you around Destiny?”

Otto would not easily give up on the idea of ​​resurrecting people. He had persisted in this wish for 500 years, but there was no point in continuing the conversation now. He decided to think of a new method first.

Otto left, and at the same time, he summoned a Valkyrie dressed as a maid to act as Karl's tour guide.

The maid gave a curtsy and said, "Hello, Mr. Superman, my name is Rita Losweather. Please allow me to show you around the Destiny Headquarters. If you have any questions about this world, I will do my best to answer them."

Karl nodded. He recognized her. In his previous life, Rita appeared to be a maid, but she was also an S-class Valkyrie with considerable authority within Schicksal.

"Tell me about the Herrschers. I heard they're the strongest Apostles in the Honkai." Karl started a conversation with the other person.

As Rita led the way, she said, "Okay, Herrschers are people chosen by Honkai. The specific criteria are unknown, but they are generally more physically adapted to Honkai energy."

“Unlike the assassins, Herrschers are not infected even after being exposed to large amounts of Honkai energy. They possess rationality and can manipulate certain physical laws. Filled with malice towards civilization, they bring heavy disasters every time they appear.”

Karl then asked, "The Herrscher has already appeared, right? How did you deal with him?"

Rita replied without changing her expression: "Theoretically, the existence of S-class Valkyries is to deal with Herrschers. Last time, it was Cecilia, the strongest Valkyrie of Schicksal, who sacrificed her life to perish together with the Second Herrscher."

"To my shame, I am also an S-class Valkyrie, but I have no power that can rival a Herrscher."

“Then what if you encounter a Herrscher again? You’ll be helpless,” Karl said.

Rita said, "That's not the case, because the strongest Valkyrie of the new generation has risen. Lady Durandal's power is by no means inferior to that of the Herrscher. She has raised the upper limit of S-class Valkyries by herself."

"It just so happens that this place is very close to the Valkyries' training grounds. If Mr. Superman is curious, why not come and see how the Valkyries train?"

Rita led Carl to the training ground, and then into a sealed room.

The room uses robots and projection technology to simulate a battlefield environment, and a blonde girl is speeding through it.

Ignoring the projected special effects, these robots were no weaklings in combat, but the girl looked completely at ease, easily destroying the machines with her bare hands.

"Lady Durandal, we have a guest!" Rita called out.

Chapter 129 Seeking Advice

Durandal turned off the training equipment and then looked towards the door.

"Are you... Superman?" she asked, slightly surprised.

In this world, Carl is basically recognized as Superman wherever he goes. This kind of celebrity treatment is different from when he was in Black Robe. Back then, only some crazy fans knew him. Now, everyone here knows him.

Superman has become a part of popular culture, not just a character; even a serious warrior like Durandal knows of his existence.

“Hello, I don’t think I need to introduce myself,” Carl said.

Durandal was somewhat puzzled by this, so Rita stepped forward to explain, "Lady Durandal, do you remember that since last month, His Holiness the Bishop has been carrying a comic book with him? It was in preparation for welcoming this guest."

So the world in the comics is real, right? Durandal isn't that hard to accept about that, since she's traveled through the World Bubble before.

There she encountered many incredible people and things that overturned her common sense, such as Shakespeare as a captain, which made her realize that different worlds can be very, very different.

So if there were a world where all the characters in comics were real, that would be perfectly normal... right?

"Mr. Superman is new here and is very curious about the warriors fighting against the Honkai, so I brought him here to Lady Durandal."

“I see.” Durandal nodded.

"However, I'm not very good with words, so if I were to really explain it, the effect might not be so good... Hmm, how about this, let's have a sparring session, so you can directly experience the Valkyrie's fighting style, and I'm also very curious about the Kryptonians' power."
