American comics: The off-the-charts random transformation

Tian Xiaoban pointed to the large hole that Garfield had chewed out, "It's very deep here. You can bring in seawater and raise some seafood to eat."

Hey, that's a good suggestion. I've been here for so long and haven't had any seafood yet.

"OK, watch me!"

Garfield's paw transformed into Netero's hand, which expertly slashed open his arm, letting the blood brimming with gourmet cells flow into the pit.

After seeing that the blood at the bottom of the pit was about the size of a small bowl, it controlled the cells to repair the wound.

It transformed completely, and Jami Garfield appeared. Peacock wings sprouted from its back, and it flew towards the sea.

The Sky Form, being a weak form that can be blown away by the wind, is not suitable for competing with fish in strength. The Peacock's strong wings are far more powerful.

In the air, it used the [Vine Whip] skill to create a huge fishing net. Near the shore, it scooped up a net full of fish and released them into a pit, where hundreds of fat fish were jumping around.

Then Garfield transforms again, and Saiyan Garfield appears. He shoots a ki blast from his fingertip, which pierces through the deep pit all the way into the sea. Seawater flows in through the thumb-sized channel that was pierced through, filling the pit completely.

"Perfect."

The gourmet cells transform the incoming seawater, and the fish inside also evolve along with it.

With lightning speed, Saeed Garfield grabbed a fish and bit into it, scales and entrails still inside.

"It's delicious! The fish innards are like coconut jelly, the fish meat is crisp and sweet with a fruity flavor, and the fish scales on the outside are cool and refreshing. It tastes amazing."

Tian Xiaoban also caught one, and it tasted really good. In just a few days, such delicious fish had already mutated around the island.

With the culinary potential of this fishpond, if we wait a few more days, perhaps a super delicious overlord will emerge from here.

Garfield kept eating, grabbed another one, and then suggested, "Let's stay for two more days, until we're tired of eating it all."

Tian Xiaoban thought for a moment and realized that there didn't seem to be anything important. Gotham... Batman could handle it himself, and there was nothing going on in Metropolis either.

So he nodded in agreement: "Okay."

..............................

The sun is setting in the west, and night is about to fall.

Lex Luthor used the blood of those human test subjects to extract the fusion effect, weakening the "God Gene" by at least three times.

Because this batch of defective medicine contains too many human genes that cannot be removed, it lacks the ability to freely integrate various genes.

He experimented on mice, injecting twenty mice with this substandard gene.

As time went on, three hours later, the white mouse gradually developed human-like features.

The white fur on its body began to decrease, its face gradually changed to resemble a human face, and its claws also turned into hands similar to human hands.

If you didn't know it was a mouse, someone who saw it might mistake it for a miniature monkey.

Of the twenty laboratory mice, sixteen died, leaving four alive. These four were modified to resemble hairless monkeys, but their intelligence remained largely unchanged, and their behavior was still the same as that of mice.

"If it is a normal 'God's Gene', it will automatically adapt to the DNA of a living organism and then undergo gene fusion."

This defective drug... it was simply a crude way of piecing together human genes that didn't belong in the mice, completely disregarding whether the mice's genes could accept it...

If a human were to absorb this, would there be no conflict? Perhaps the human's genes could even be completed. Hmm, I'll have Marx prepare the experimental subjects for me tomorrow.

……

So far, nothing unusual has been found in the live test subjects, except for changes in appearance; it is unknown whether there have been any internal changes.

……

Lex Luther dissected the dead rats to study the internal changes inside them.

"How interesting! The internal skeletal structure has also been modified, making it more human-like... What is this?"

He cut open the dead rat's evolved hand and found strange bone spurs growing on its knuckles, unlike normal finger bones, which grew out from the middle of the knuckles.

"That's the superpower of Superpower Number 7!"

Lex Luthor felt like he'd been hit by a huge surprise.

Hard bone spurs—this was the superpower of Number 7 among the ten human test subjects. The effect was that he could grow bone spurs three to five centimeters long all over his body. Before he died, he even managed to launch bone spurs all over his body.

Now that this effect is appearing on the mice, what does that mean? It means that the defective drug may have contained genes related to superpowers.

He dissected another one and found that it had a very thick keratin layer; he couldn't even poke it with a scalpel.

"and many more!!!"

Lex Luthor suddenly realized a very serious problem: the stratum corneum of this experimental subject grew back after death!

In other words, the test subjects may have died because they couldn't adapt to the superpowers!?

"So, what about the four that survived?"

Lex Luthor reached out his evil hands to one of the live white mice, drawing blood for testing and completing a series of procedures.

It's confirmed that this mouse possesses the ability to regenerate. It was because of that superpower that it survived. The other three mice suffered the same fate.

At this moment, Lex Luthor excitedly flipped through the ability records of the previous test subjects:

[Number 1: Thick Stratum Corneum]: Can increase the thickness of the stratum corneum on its own. Evaluation: Not very useful.

[Item 2: Electric Current]: The cells in the body generate a weak electric current, making the whole body electrically charged. Evaluation: Not as effective as a stun gun.

[Number 3: Camouflage]: Similar to skin color change to blend into the environment. Evaluation: Too slow, easily detected; current technology is 100 times more effective.

[Number 4: Rapid Speed]: Increases personal speed, accelerates energy consumption, and requires a large amount of nutrient solution to alleviate the effects after use. Evaluation: Garbage; you'll just die on the way.

[Number 5: A certain degree of rapid regeneration]: It can repair knife wounds, puncture wounds, burns, and frostbite. Evaluation: A decent ability, but unfortunately, it still results in death if the head is blown off. There's room for genetic optimization.

[Number 6: Cell Recovery]: Possesses powerful repair capabilities; after the human body is damaged, cells will rapidly proliferate and recover. Comment: Those old fogies would probably love this; it's worth studying.

[Number 7: Hard Bone Spurs]: Allows the user to grow bone spurs three to five centimeters long all over their body, which can be launched. The drawback is that once the bone spurs are launched, they cannot be made to disappear naturally. Evaluation: An ability resulting from bone hyperplasia mutation.

[Number 8: Juli]: Bench press reaches 500 kg, but endurance is insufficient. Evaluation: Too weak, much weaker than Superman.

[Number 9: Shell]: A shell-like covering develops on its body. Evaluation: It can stop bullets, but not machine guns.

[Number 10: Life Sense]: Able to detect how many living people are around. Evaluation: Useless; even trained police dogs are more effective.

These abilities vary in strength. If Tian Xiaoban were here, he would find that if all these abilities were combined into one, one could become a Pillar Man who does not absorb life energy.

"If it's really as I think, then these can truly be sold as Compound No. 5!"

Regardless of the strength of the ability, as long as one can gain superpowers, the value of that thing is immeasurable.

"Human experiments! I need to start human experiments as soon as possible!" Lex Luthor muttered to himself as if possessed, not wanting to wait even a second longer.

He quickly called Marx and told him to prepare everything for human experiments as soon as possible.

"Boss, it will take at least an hour now. Where will it be delivered to?"

Marx was on the phone, driving towards the nearest military prison.

"Hurry! Send it directly to my underground lab, and we'll witness a new achievement together! This thing will absolutely drive the military crazy!"

………………

after an hour……

A death row inmate with a sunken face and emaciated body was brought in by his men.

Lex Luthor gave him a thorough physical examination, and found that apart from malnutrition, the other person had no other problems.

Based on his physical condition, the required dosage was prepared. He was then tightly strapped to the experimental table.

Lex Luthor said:

"This is a military super soldier experiment, and it's quite dangerous. But if you survive it, you'll become a super soldier. I can then offer you a job and save you from the military's death penalty."

The death row inmate's eyes flickered; his previously lifeless expression seemed to suddenly come alive.

Lex Luthor nodded in satisfaction; only with a will to survive can one conduct experiments more effectively.

"Give him the injection."

The assistants around him moved quickly, inserting tubes all over the death row inmate's body, most of them to deliver nutrient solutions, with only one tube to deliver Compound V.

As the slightly greenish compound V was injected, the death row inmate's eyes widened instantly, his whole body began to feel numb and itchy, and his skinny body began to grow flesh.

The condemned prisoner had strips of cloth stuffed in his mouth to prevent him from biting his tongue. This allowed him to only whimper and prevented him from shouting.

The people around him watched him with indifference, excitement, and anticipation. The death row inmate's visibly strong physique indicated that the drug was very effective.

Many people have already taken out their guns; only a gun in hand can give those around them a sense of security.

An hour later, all the drugs were injected into the death row inmate's body, but the pain from the genetic modification caused him to faint.

The instruments monitoring his body indicated that everything was normal. Lex Luthor personally drew a vial of blood from him and then rushed back to conduct his research.

The rest of the people took the death row inmate away and locked him in a specially made cage, waiting for him to wake up on his own.

In the lab, Lex Luthor analyzed his blood and compared it with the genes of those with superpowers.

It was discovered that the death row inmate shared the same ability as Number 2: electric current. They have similar genes, and if nothing unexpected happens, the death row inmate's superpower is also electric current.

........................

After waiting all night, the death row inmate slowly woke up at noon the next day.

He found himself locked up, and there were three men outside with machine guns staring at him.

He jumped up excitedly, relieved to have survived, and discovered that his body was perfect and full of power, and that sparks could even come out of his hands.

"It's true! I really became a super soldier! Hahaha..."

"Yes, you have successfully completed the experiment!" Lex Luthor said in the monitor. "Your ability is electricity; all the cells in your body will discharge electricity, with a power level similar to that of a Taser. Your physical strength is comparable to that of a professional boxer."

The death row inmate, his eyes burning with fervor, swore allegiance to the cameraman in the corner of the room: "Boss, I'm willing to work for you, boss!"

Lex Luthor smiled slightly: "Of course you have to work for me. Without you, how would the military believe that my experiment was successful!"

He then ordered the people outside, "Take him for a medical examination."

"After your medical check-up, come with me to the military. If this deal goes through, I won't be stingy with the money."

"Hahaha, good boss! I swear to be loyal to you to the death!" The death row inmate rubbed his hands excitedly.

While the other person went for a medical check-up with the staff outside, Lex Luthor looked at the two-meter-tall metal tank in the laboratory and pondered his next plan.

Yesterday's idea of ​​collaborating with the military using "God's Gene" can be put to rest. This Compound No. 5 is a much better option—it's plentiful, filling, and fast-acting.

This metal can contains the compound he just synthesized, Compound No. 5, enough to train a super-powered army of 500 people.
