Fubuki's Training
Standing at the entrance of the House of Evolution, looking at the chaotic situation, Vegapunk felt a headache coming on.
The Carnage Kabuto had clenched its fists, its modified body now exuding a domineering, dark Haki.
The Zombieman gripped his gun and dagger tightly, looking ready to fight at any moment.
Hellish Blizzard and her Blizzard Group crew looked at each other, their legs trembling. They seemed to have gotten themselves into a terrible situation. What should they do now?
With a sigh and a frown, Vegapunk reached out, unleashing a powerful electromagnetic force. A crackling sound followed, and the Zombieman felt a sudden tightness around him as all his weapons instantly turned into iron bars, binding him tightly.
"Superpowers?!"
Hellish Blizzard looked startled and cried out. Vegapunk glanced at her, as if he had thought of something:
"You're the number one B-Class Hero, Hellish Blizzard? The sister of Tatsumaki? What are you doing here?"
Upon hearing this, Hellish Blizzard's face darkened. What she hated most was Jackie Chun. Unfortunately, such things were beyond her control. After all, her superpowers were far inferior to her sister's.
"Um... I was hoping to invite the three of you to join our Blizzard Group. Of course, it's fine if you don't join; we can still be friends!"
Despite her anger, Hellish Blizzard still dared not refuse to answer, though her voice softened considerably.
"No need, we're aiming to become S-Class Hero, the Blizzard Group isn't suitable for us."
Hearing Vegapunk's words, Hellish Blizzard breathed a sigh of relief and gave a dry laugh:
"I see. Well, thank you for your time... Mr. Vegapunk, please continue with your work here. We, the Blizzard Group, will take our leave now!"
"Wait a moment!"
Vegapunk called out, and Fubuki, who was about to leave Fubuki slightly, a hint of nervousness on her face, and asked:
"Mr. Vegapunk, is there anything else you need?"
Vegapunk smiled, looked Hellish Blizzard up and down, and suddenly spoke:
"You're a psychic too, right? But your psychic powers aren't very strong, and you've always been suppressed by your older sister, that Terrible Tornado. You must be very resentful!"
Fubuki's expression changed slightly, and she gritted her teeth as she spoke:
"That has nothing to do with you, Mr. Vegapunk, does it?!"
"Your sisters' affairs are none of my business, but I'd like to ask you, do you want to enhance your superpowers?!"
Enhance superpowers? Hellish Blizzard was stunned for a moment, then looked at Vegapunk with a look of astonishment.
"Don't believe him, he just wants to conduct human experiments... Waaaaah!"
Vegapunk smiled slightly, and with a thought, the wire binding the Zombieman was used to gag him, forcing him to swallow his words, while also demonstrating his own agility.
Although Vegapunk's ability to manipulate electric fields and magnetic fields is vastly different from the telekinesis of the Fubuki and Tatsumaki sisters, if we really want to categorize them, they are indeed both superpowers.
Not to mention that after Vegapunk ate the Brain-Brain Fruit, he did develop telekinesis. However, after undergoing Quantum Brain removal surgery, the effect of telekinesis was greatly reduced, and it was not very useful compared to his other abilities. Therefore, it was shelved later.
However, Vegapunk does indeed have extensive experience in developing telekinesis. Moreover, with his technological means, enhancing Fubuki's telekinesis is definitely not an exaggeration.
In reality, Vegapunk's invitation to Hellish Blizzard was more about getting in touch with Tatsumaki. Compared to Fubuki, Tatsumaki's telekinesis was the level that truly impressed Vegapunk.
While he couldn't figure out the mysteries of Saitama's body, the One-Punch Man, he could certainly do more than study Tatsumaki's bloodline and telekinesis!
After hearing Vegapunk's words, Hellish Blizzard looked very hesitant. The House of Evolution didn't seem like a good place at all, but the temptation to strengthen her telekinesis was too great, making her hesitate.
"What are your conditions for helping me strengthen my telekinesis?"
"Don't worry, at most they'll just take a little blood for research. Don't listen to that guy's nonsense. Our House of Evolution is now a legitimate experimental facility!"
"Besides, I can let your Blizzard Group leave first, then you should be able to rest assured, right?"
After hearing Vegapunk's words, Fubuki was not completely relieved, but she did breathe a sigh of relief.
If something happens to me after the Blizzard Group leaves, the Hero Association will definitely come knocking, not to mention my sister.
Although Fubuki hates her older sister's control over her, she has to admit that if any problems arise, her older sister is indeed her biggest support.
"Alright, then I'll test your superpower development first!"
"This is truly astonishing; it seems to be Conceptual Immortal Body!"
In the Laboratory, Vegapunk studied the blood extracted from the Zombieman, a look of surprise on his face.
Conceptual Immortal Body and Ordinary Immortal Body are completely different things. The most important difference is that Conceptual Immortal Body breaks the law of conservation of energy to a certain extent.
The rapid regeneration of ordinary Immortal Body requires energy support. From King Piccolo's limb regeneration to the immortality of the Otsutsuki Clan, or the rapid regeneration of Hollows in Bleach, all of these rely on their own energy support.
If one's own energy is exhausted, no matter how Immortal Body is, in the end, one will only face death.
However, this Zombieman was completely different. Vegapunk discovered that the Zombieman's physical healing and recovery did not require any energy consumption!
Neither bioenergy nor bodily matter was consumed; the missing parts of the body seemed to have been transformed out of thin air.
"Dr. Genus, I wonder how you came up with this Zombieman?"
Seeing Vegapunk's curious expression, Dr. Genus gave a wry smile and sighed:
"This wasn't something I researched; it's just his inherent characteristic... I merely helped him unlock a portion of his Limiter, allowing his abilities to manifest as Immortal Body!"
Vegapunk nodded slightly, understanding what Dr. Genus meant.
Limiter are the foundation of all of Dr. Genus's research, and in a sense, everyone in the One-Punch Man World has what is called Limiter.
Of course, other scientific researchers might use other names, but in Vegapunk's view, calling it Limiter is quite appropriate.
In fact, there are quite a few people in the One-Punch Man World who have broken their Limiter. For example, some weirdo Monsters are the result of breaking their Limiter.
Some people like to eat crabs, cabbage, or even practice boxing by pulling ropes in front of electric lights, which turns them into Monsters.
Some are other races, such as the Sky Race, the Underground Race, and the Ocean Race, which are actually evolved from humans.
Others are simply due to various scientific experiments, such as a certain giant, or this Zombieman.
Some people were even chosen by certain Planet Will who claimed to be Deity, such as Homeless Emperor and a certain high-quality imitation of King Piccolo.
However, while these Monsters break their Limiter, they also form new Limiter. Moreover, because they are no longer bound by the restriction period, their genes undergo almost unrestricted evolution. And most of the results of this evolution are not ideal, which is why they all become bizarre.
Occasionally, there are people who evolve in the right direction, such as Tatsumaki and Fubuki. They can be said to have evolved in the right direction and possessed great power without changing their human nature.
As for whether anyone in this world has truly broken their Limiter and can evolve without any restrictions, even Vegapunk and Dr. Genus are not entirely sure.
Although Saitama is said to have broken his Limiter, after Vegapunk conducted research for a period of time, he found no difference between Saitama's genes and those of ordinary people. This suggests that the Limiter is probably not only manifested in physical genes.
Otherwise, this guy's body cells and genes wouldn't show any signs of evolution at all, and he would be completely the same as an ordinary person.
In a way, Dr. Genus's research is like buying a lottery ticket; it directly breaks the Limiter for people, and Dr. Genus can't guarantee what they will evolve into afterward.
The Zombieman gained Immortal Body after breaking his Limiter; if someone else had broken their Limiter, they might have turned into Cockroach Man.
"It's a pity... In that case, it's impossible to replicate this Zombieman's Immortal Body through genetic research alone. At most, it can give people the ability to recover quickly when they have plenty of energy and nutrition."
Vegapunk shook his head. His current research level was really lacking in this kind of conceptual stuff. Fortunately, the Zombieman was obviously not as advanced Saitama, so he could still study some things from his genes.
In fact, Dr. Genus also researched quite a few things, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to create the infinitely growing Octopus Monster.
However, the Zombieman's research was just a side project. After Vegapunk finished his research, he put the zombie man out of his mind and began to focus on strengthening Hellish Blizzard.
Compared to Zombieman, the genetic research on Hellish Blizzard went very smoothly, and she easily created a genetic map. Vegapunk also quickly came up with an enhancement plan.
In the underground experimental facility of the House of Evolution, a group of people are eating hot pot.
By now, Hellish Blizzard had become familiar with Vegapunk and the others. Mainly, the House of Evolution didn't restrict her personal freedom. Apart from requiring her to come and report regularly and drawing some blood for experiments, there was nothing else.
Naturally, Hellish Blizzard had long since lowered her guard. Although the large number of Dr. Genus in the Laboratory was somewhat unsettling, at least the Laboratory was no longer conducting any illegal research.
What, you mean researching Monsters? Sorry, while the qualifications required for researching Monsters are very high, it is indeed legal.
Let alone studying Monsters, a certain Caped Baldy has even eaten soup made from Kelp Monster heads and seaweed, and made Mushroom Monster barbecue! Eating Monsters isn't illegal, let alone studying Monsters.
Surrounding the hot pot, besides Vegapunk and Fubuki, there was naturally a certain bald guy with a gluttonous appetite.
"Delicious, it tastes so good! Especially the takoyaki!"
"And this meat roll, it tastes amazing! What kind of meat is it?"
Vegapunk answered Saitama's question with a smile:
"This is a new product produced in our Laboratory: Monster Octopus, as well as cows, sheep, tuna, and salmon. As long as there is enough Nutrient Solution, they can regenerate indefinitely. Moreover, after becoming Monsters, they taste far better than ordinary animals!"
With a snap, the sound of chopsticks falling to the ground Fubuki's face turned pale, her expression one of utter astonishment.
"We... we ate Monsters?"
"Uh... that's not wrong, but these Monsters aren't humans turned into weirdos; they're animals and plants that have turned into Monsters!"
Vegapunk nodded, looked at Fubuki who looked terrified, and offered a few words of comfort.
Swallowing hard, Fubuki looked at the others, only to find that they all seemed completely unconcerned, as if she were the one making a fuss.
Thinking about how much she had eaten and that nothing seemed to have changed, she felt a little relieved.
After finishing her meal, Fubuki obediently sat down in front of Vegapunk and began to undergo a physical examination.
"Not bad, your brainwaves are at least 30% more active than before. How's your telekinesis development going?"
At this point, Fubuki's face lit up with an excited smile:
"I'm several times stronger than before. Now I can use telekinesis to lift myself up!"
"Oh, it can fly now? That's definitely a qualitative change."
Vegapunk nodded, using telekinesis to lift herself into flight. This was a high level of telekinetic skill. Although this level of telekinesis was still far inferior to that of her sister Tatsumaki, it was already much stronger than that of Fubuki before.
You should know that in the past, Fubuki could only use her Psychic Power to lift up pebbles on the ground to attack. That level of telekinesis wasn't necessarily more lethal than a pistol!
"In that case, it's about time to get down to business and truly strengthen you! Only then will your telekinesis undergo a real qualitative change!"
Upon hearing this, Fubuki paused for a moment, then stammered, "..."
"Don't those telekinetic training techniques that were taught to me before count as the beginning of strengthening?"
