Kamen Rider ZZZ from the American comic book world

"Just make the world a better place within your capabilities."

“No problem. If you have any other needs, you can come to me anytime.” Norman could tell that this was just a casual remark from his benefactor, so he added.

"Alright, I should go now. Just remember what you promised."

After saying that, Li Ai left Norman's dream and turned to develop the second version of the enhanced serum.

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

Meanwhile, in an underground base in northern America, a group of researchers are injecting three young people with medication.

The three young people came here with different goals, but the researchers didn't care. They all received an injection of the Extremis virus.

“You’re hurting me,” said Jack Muller, a young man with a buzz cut and a cold expression, looking at the researcher.

"Subject Number Five, report on your physical condition," the researcher said emotionlessly.

"I don't feel anything. Unlike the twins who awakened superpowers, I just feel much more energetic and stronger," Jack said impatiently.

Meanwhile, on the other end of the laboratory camera, Albert Wesker, who longed to become a god, was observing his experimental subjects.

"Let me see if you are qualified to go to the new world."

In another laboratory, a young man with a red glow was running wildly on a treadmill, while a woman with bloodshot eyes was using telekinesis to solve a Rubik's Cube.

Chapter 156: How about we call it 'Bioforce Field'?

The next day, in the afternoon, after school...

Laughter and cheerful voices echoed down the corridors of Midtown High School. Li Ai and Nancy walked side by side through the crowd. As they turned a corner, they saw Harry leaning against Peter's locker, chatting animatedly with him.

The redness under Harry's eyes had completely disappeared, and his shoulders and back were straight. He no longer looked as listless as he had not long ago with dark circles under his eyes.

“Peter, let me tell you…” Harry glanced up and saw Li Ai and Nancy, then immediately smiled and waved, “Hello, seniors.”

"Looks like you slept very well last night," Li Ai said, raising an eyebrow.

Upon hearing this, Harry scratched his head and said, "That must have been the most comfortable sleep I've ever had. I even dreamt that ZZZ was fighting a monster. The scene was more exciting than a Star Wars movie."

Peter, who had just stuffed the book into the locker, was about to speak when his spider-sense kicked in. He instinctively pulled the locker door shut, blocking himself behind it.

A rugby ball hit the metal cabinet door with a thud and rolled to the ground. The person who threw the ball didn't use much force; he just wanted to see Peter make a fool of himself.

Lightning, watching from the side, froze, stamping his foot and saying, "Peter, your luck has been off the charts lately."

"Is it possible that your aim is just too bad?" Peter complained.

"What did you say?" Lightning's neck turned red, and he was ready to retaliate with his fists, but with an IQ of only 77, he didn't notice that there were still water stains on the floor that had just been mopped.

Lightning slipped, lost his balance instantly, and fell hard.

A few suppressed laughs suddenly rang out in the corridor.

"This isn't a place to sleep," Li Ai and the other three teased as they passed by him.

Once outside the school gates, Harry found the driver who had come to pick him up, while Peter prepared to ride home on his newly bought skateboard, letting out a helpless sigh before leaving.

"I really hope that guy Lightning can get his head sorted out; he's getting more and more boring every day."

"That's his problem, just don't make yourself suffer." Li Ai patted Peter on the shoulder, watched him leave, and then went to Nancy's apartment.

To avoid being nagged, Li Ai left the PS3 that Shirley had given her in Nancy's apartment and would play it for a while whenever she had free time.

Some time later, in Nancy's apartment, the two sat cross-legged on the plush carpet, with potato chips and cola next to them, each holding a controller in their hands.

The screen connected to the PS3 displayed the game "Madagascar Karting," and a race ended with upbeat music playing.

The two put down the controllers for a moment. Nancy picked up her Coke, took a sip, and then said:

"After clearing away the dream demons that were haunting the Osborn family members last night, I felt that my lucid dreaming ability had become much stronger. When I woke up, I felt that the gap between the dream and reality was particularly large."

“That’s a normal feeling.” Li Ai paused the game, turned to look at her seriously, and said, “Your enhancement serum will be completed this weekend, which will make up for your physical weakness.”

Nancy asked worriedly, "Researching this must be exhausting, right?"

"Fortunately, with previous experience, this time it went much more smoothly." Li Ai smiled and reached out to ruffle her hair.

Nancy's words reminded Li Ai that there was still room for improvement in his physique, and that Li Ai might be able to find other ways to train more deeply.

The feeling of entering some unknown territory after increasing the speed to a certain level also needs to be investigated.

Fortunately, there are three scientists in the Avengers who can help Li Ai.

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

A few days later, on the weekend, at the Avengers base.

In the experimental area on the second basement level, Dr. Banner was in front of a sealed container the size of a shipping container, holding a tablet computer used to monitor the situation inside the container.

The tablet screen features a human shape in the center, and the data bar on the right shows that the interior of the enclosure is filled with various high-energy radiation, microgravity, and extremely low temperatures, as if artificially simulating a cosmic environment.

Dr. Banner looked at the timer on the left side of the tablet and said, "It's been more than five minutes, but his vital signs are the same as on Earth. There's no point in testing him any further. Let him out first."

After saying this, Dr. Banner shut down the equipment, and the environment inside the chamber returned to normal Earth levels.

The heavy box doors opened to both sides, and the laboratory lights illuminated the inside of the box, revealing Li Ai's figure.

Li Ai was wearing a black bodysuit similar to a motion capture suit, covered with various sensors to detect his physical condition, but he was not wearing anything on his head.

"It seems my superpower potential isn't just 'flying,' it also allows me to survive in space." Li Ai raised her hand to wipe the water droplets from her head and combed her wet hair back.

Before leaving the enclosure, he also doused himself with a disinfectant to remove residual radiation, ensuring that he would not inadvertently harm the environment.

The remaining water droplets slid down the fabric of her clothes to the ground. Dr. Banner looked at Li Ai's appearance and said with a smile:

"Go change your clothes first. Data isn't going to grow legs and run away."

“Okay, Dr. Banner,” Li Ai nodded.

Afterwards, Li Ai quickly washed her body, dried her hair, and changed into a new set of clothes.

He wore a beige sweatshirt, black casual pants, and sneakers, paired with a red and white Avengers jacket, looking very energetic.

When Dr. Banner saw Li Ai again, he praised her without reservation: "You have a capability that every space agency in the world would dream of."

“Let me see what’s going on.” Li Ai moved closer to Dr. Banner, who simply handed the tablet to her.

While Li Ai was looking at the tablet, Dr. Banner explained, "Simply put, you have an invisible force field around you, and it is this force field that allows you to fly and survive in the cosmic environment."

Upon hearing this, Li Ai stroked her chin while looking at the data on the screen and said:

"It seems I misjudged back then; flying can only be considered one part of my superpowers at most..."

"It should be considered a pleasant surprise, right?" Dr. Banner said, arms crossed.

"This experiment was originally intended to find an extreme environment suitable for you to exercise, but it has instead allowed you to understand your own abilities more clearly."

Li Ai initially only intended to train in extreme environments, but when they measured the radiation-related environment, Dr. Banner found that Li Ai was unaffected.

After that, the experiments were progressively escalated, eventually reaching the level of simulating a cosmic environment.

The final conclusion is that there is an invisible force field about 30 centimeters thick around Li Ai's body.

"This ability does make up for some of my shortcomings," Li Ai said, looking at her palm. "If I fight to the point of exhaustion in space in the future, I won't have to worry about the radiation and low temperatures there."

"Although oxygen is consumed normally, there are many ways to solve this." Dr. Banner changed the subject and asked:

"Have you decided what to call this ability?"

"How about we call it 'Bioforce Field'?" Li Ai replied.

Chapter 157 Plasma Forms That Can Still Be Developed

“Biofield?” Dr. Banner raised an eyebrow. “That’s a very fitting name.”

“Yes, but this isn’t my original creation.” Li Ai smiled and handed over the tablet.

The name "biofield" was not his original creation, but rather came from Superman in DC Comics.

The reason Superman can catch a plane is because his bio-force field can instantly extend to the entire surface of the plane, dispersing all stress evenly and thus preventing the plane from disintegrating due to localized stress.

Li Ai felt that her ability was somewhat similar to a bio-force field, so she chose this name.

Moreover, DC Comics exists in this world, and when Li Ai mentioned the biofield, Dr. Banner also understood the meaning of the name.

"It's from Superman in DC Comics, I know him," Dr. Banner replied with a smile after taking the tablet.

"I used to wonder why Superman could lift airplanes, until a classmate who was a comic book fan explained biofields to me and that cleared up my confusion."

“But I need more testing and training.” Li Ai adjusted her collar. “By the way, I have an appointment with Dr. Pym, so I won’t bother you any longer.”

"Okay, take care."

After saying goodbye to Dr. Banner, Li Ai went to Dr. Pym's laboratory.

To save Janet in the Quantum Realm, Dr. Pym is building a quantum tunnel and shuttle to allow for safer access to the Quantum Realm.

Thanks to Dr. Pym's efforts, these devices are already taking shape.

However, Dr. Pym was also willing to help Li Ai resolve his confusion in his spare time, since he wouldn't have been able to obtain the data to safely travel to the quantum realm without Li Ai shrinking to the subatomic level.

Li Ai described the special feeling she had after increasing her speed to a certain level.

Vanished things, sparks of light representing life… After hearing these stories, Dr. Pym frowned, pondered for a moment, then looked up at Li Ai and said:

"Let me start with my first guess. Just like how shrinking to the subatomic level leads to the quantum realm, increasing your speed to a certain level will also lead you into a certain realm."

“It sounds like The Flash and the Speed ​​Force,” Li Ai said, leaning on the edge of the control panel with one hand.

"But anyway, after all these years of studying physics, I haven't found a single trace of the Speed ​​Force space." Following Li Ai's train of thought, Dr. Pym shrugged and continued:

"The second guess is that your high-speed movement form still has potential. That special feeling that only appears when running at high speed is a manifestation of it, or even an ability unique to you."

"You mean I can continue to develop my own power?" Li Ai's eyes lit up.

Seeing this, Dr. Pym quickly poured cold water on him, saying in a serious tone:

"But you also have to be careful. If you rush ahead recklessly, you might travel through time like in the movies, or go to a special field like the quantum realm. Don't forget, you still have family, friends, and comrades. It may only be a moment for you, but they will have to bear the fact that you have disappeared for decades."

Dr. Pym understood this deeply, which is why he gave Li Ai such a serious reminder.

Upon hearing this, Li Ai straightened up and said just as seriously, "I promise that I will be extremely careful when developing my abilities and will not let those who care about me suffer."

“This is also for you, young man.” Dr. Pym patted Li Ai on the shoulder, then turned and took a document from the drawer and handed it to Li Ai.

"What is this?" Li Ai asked, puzzled.

“I’m too old for the successor information I’m looking for. I need to choose a more suitable person to inherit the codename ‘Ant-Man’,” Dr. Pym explained.

As soon as she finished speaking, Li Ai reached out and took the document, quickly glancing at the information about Ant-Man's successor.

Scott Lang, male, holds a Master's degree in Electrical Engineering. He married his wife Maggie in 2008, and they have a daughter, Casey Lang.

The introduction is very simple, and his personal information doesn't seem to make him a suitable successor for Dr. Pym.

"He looks quite ordinary." Even knowing that Dr. Pym would choose Scott Lang as his successor in the original timeline, Li Ai couldn't help but sigh.

“His physiology is a good match for Pym Particles,” Dr. Pym explained. “And through the Avengers’ intelligence network, I discovered that he may have stolen property from many criminals, keeping only a portion for himself and using most of the ‘stolen money’ to help the poor.”

“He’s also a Robin Hood-like figure who robs the rich to help the poor,” Li Ai said with a smile. “He’s a pretty good candidate.”

“He still needs some testing. I don’t want the Pym Particles to fall into the hands of someone with ill intentions.” Dr. Pym took the file back from Li Ai and said:

"By the way, those kids didn't have practice today; they're playing Monopoly in the living area upstairs. Do you want to go too?"

"I'll go take a look," Li Ai nodded.

Afterwards, Li Ai took the elevator to the living area on the ground floor, while the others sat around a table, watching Peter listlessly shake the dice.

“How about we play Warhammer next time?” Peter suggested. “I got tired of Monopoly when I was in elementary school.”

"If you like Warhammer so much, why don't you become a Space Marine and pledge your loyalty to the Emperor?" Li Ai's voice came from behind.

Peter's expression changed. Remembering the terrible environment of Warhammer, he shook his head repeatedly and said, "Then forget it. I am not loyal enough to Holy Terra."

Only Li Ai and Peter could understand what she was saying. The girls looked at each other and saw confusion in each other's eyes.

“I think Monopoly is pretty good; at least it lets me experience what it feels like to be rich.” Daisy, who had the most resources at her disposal, grinned.

"Hey, what did you guys buy with the salary Stark gave you?" Jessica suddenly asked. "I bought some photography accessories."

“I’ll save it for now, and buy it when I think of it,” Gwen said.

“Same,” Nancy said, looking at the pieces on the board.
