"Yes!"

Bullseye was instantly fired up.

He suddenly thought, why did his former boss's corpse look so good?

Wasn't this a stroke of luck for him? He had traded up for a new boss who was steady as hell and could fight like hell.

They were all ancient monsters; what was the point of playing games with each other?

After struggling through the underworld for so many years, Bullseye had been a mercenary, an assassin, a detective, and even a lawyer.

Sure, he and Kingpin had shared nearly ten years of history, but for people like them...

The moment Bullseye dared to put the final knife into Heisenberg, he had basically repaid everything between himself and Kingpin.

As for now, now was now!

No one was going to stop Lord Bullseye from heading toward a better life!

With that in mind, Bullseye accepted the order and turned to head out of the reception room.

But he had barely taken half a step when Heisenberg called out to him.

"Hey, wait a second."

Heisenberg stopped Bullseye with a satisfied look on his face.

Look at these villains. This was what execution looked like—they got to work the moment they were told.

But Bullseye could not leave just yet.

Heisenberg pointed at Kingpin's corpse as Bullseye turned back around.

"Don't forget to clean that thing up. It's too bloody!"

"Uh..."

Bullseye looked utterly helpless. Boss, were you sure it was too bloody?

Hadn't you done it yourself?

All bosses were fucking alike—hypocritical, insincere, and incapable of being straightforward.

So he bowed and scraped, speaking respectfully.

"My mistake. I'll send someone to clean it up right away!"

"Mm!"

Heisenberg was satisfied. Bullseye, meanwhile, quickly left the reception room and called his former subordinates.

Heisenberg had no interest in listening to Bullseye's call, much less worrying about whether Bullseye would betray him.

If Bullseye really brought people back to join forces against him, then Heisenberg would simply clean house.

So after Bullseye left, Heisenberg walked straight over to Barbara.

Barbara still looked somewhat wary. When she saw Heisenberg approach, she instinctively took half a step back.

But she quickly returned to normal, because her job was not to make Heisenberg wary of her and keep his distance through disgust and fear.

After hesitating for a moment, she shivered lightly twice and said in a wounded voice.

"What you did... was so disgusting. Couldn't you have avoided making such a bloody mess?"

"Haha, it was my first time too. I didn't have any experience. I'll be gentler from now on!"

Heisenberg laughed and made small talk with Barbara, while inwardly chuckling like a weasel.

As he snickered to himself, he thought.

Ancient mon... fairies... ghost stories...

Heh heh...

Adults understood what needed to be understood. It was just better to play dumb most of the time.

Pretending not to notice Barbara's wariness—and S.H.I.E.L.D.'s wariness behind her—Heisenberg asked softly.

"Now that everything's settled, how about we go sit in my Nightclub?

I'm completely lost. I have no experience managing a Nightclub, so you'll have to help me out."

"Of course!"

Barbara agreed readily, then added with apparent helplessness.

"After all, you're my most important target. Even if you use me as a nanny, I won't have the slightest complaint, right?"

"Mm-hmm. Is your car parked downstairs, or should I fly you back?"

"Fly there?!"

This time, Barbara was genuinely stunned. She grabbed Heisenberg's hand.

There was longing in her expression, along with a trace of timidity and unease.

"I..." She could not help confirming with Heisenberg, "I can fly in the sky too?"

"As long as you let me hold you."

"Ha, of course I'll let you. Hold my waist, just don't squeeze too hard. Hurry up and fly!"

"Mm-hmm...?"

Heisenberg looked helplessly at the woman in his arms. Seriously, Barbara was far too proactive.

But Heisenberg knew that Barbara was not necessarily acting entirely right now.

As an elite agent, Barbara was also the future third-rate female superhero Mockingbird.

She had at least a hundred ways to reach the blue sky.

But among her countless methods of flight, Heisenberg's method was definitely not included!

Heisenberg shot up from the ground. He had originally planned to charge straight into the cumulonimbus clouds and use those thick, moisture-filled clouds to drench Barbara.

But only moments later, he stopped in midair in shock.

Barbara was dizzy beyond belief, her eyes bloodshot and her nose bleeding.

"My God, was I flying too fast? But that shouldn't happen. Superman can fly with people!"

Looking at Barbara, who had become weak and limp in an instant, Heisenberg thought it over and finally remembered something crucial.

"This... I think I forgot about the Biological Field!"

People often saw Superman use his narrow pair of hands to lift enormous objects like airplanes, skyscrapers, or even entire mountains.

But from a scientific perspective, that was completely unreasonable.

Superman certainly had the strength to lift a mountain, but the mountain's material meant that the excessive pressure would make Superman punch straight through its middle, while the mountain itself fell to the ground.

So what exactly did Superman rely on to lift heavy objects?

The answer was the Biological Field!

After Kryptonians arrived on Earth, they were all affected by yellow solar radiation, spontaneously developing a second circulatory system distinct from their digestive systems, one specifically for storing and using energy.

Therefore, after absorbing enough yellow solar radiation, Kryptonians would always develop special abilities such as Frost Breath and Heat Vision.

The Biological Field, meanwhile, was a field created when Kryptonians used yellow solar radiation energy to cause relative displacement in the space around them!

In order to help Barbara recover as quickly as possible, Heisenberg had no choice but to rack his brain, recalling every piece of knowledge he had about the Biological Field.

Fortunately, his Kryptonian brain was exceptionally powerful now, and he quickly figured it out.

What did "relative displacement in space" mean?

As everyone knew, every region of space on Earth contained the Four Fundamental Forces.

The strong nuclear force, the weak nuclear force, electromagnetism, and gravity.

Heisenberg began rapidly understanding the Biological Field through the most obvious of them all: gravity.

If a region of space completely lost gravity, the result would be infinite repulsion. Everything within that space would be scattered by the repulsive force into dust, or even nothingness.

And if a region of space completely lost repulsion, the result would naturally be infinite gravity. That space would instantly collapse until it formed a Black hole and continued spreading.

A Kryptonian's Biological Field, however, used the Kryptonian as its center to keep gravity and repulsion in absolute balance within a certain space!

Not merely gravity and repulsion, but the absolute balance of the universe's Four Fundamental Forces.

In short, this region of relative displacement, unique to Kryptonians, could be called a Kryptonian's absolute domain!

When Superman used his absolute field, he and the living beings or objects affected by it would maintain absolute consistency under the field's influence.

Therefore, when Superman lifted enormous objects such as airplanes, the object's surface was not crushed by immense pressure. Instead, it accelerated or stopped together with Superman.

That was because Superman's Bio-field extended into the object touching him, protecting the object's overall structure.

That was also why Lois Lane, in Superman's arms, would not suffer any harm even if Superman carried her flying into the sun.

And Heisenberg knew one thing well: his bargain-bin descendant had set an excellent example for him.

As Superman spent more and more time basking in sunlight, his Bio-field could even evolve to the point where it became visible to the naked eye.

Many people had complained about how Superman's clothes could never be damaged no matter how much he was beaten. That was all because of the Bio-field.

In the comic All-Star Superman, Superman absorbed excessive solar radiation and gained an unimaginably powerful Bio-field.

A Pathfinder spacecraft had crashed into the sun. At the time, Superman extended his field without limit and pulled that ordinary spacecraft out of the sun, without allowing the ship or anyone inside to suffer even the slightest harm.

When Superman's young girlfriend was held in his arms as he flew at seventy times the speed of sound, she had once made an incredulous remark.

She said to Superman, "It's so warm!"

That was perfect proof of the Biological Field's effects.

And now, after Barbara had paid a bloody price, Heisenberg finally remembered one of the most important abilities of Kryptonians!

Without the Biological Field.

His so-called Kryptonian self would be no different from a miniature Hulk!

At most, he had a few more elemental attacks than Hulk...

Realizing its importance, Heisenberg immediately descended. He flew straight back to Kingpin's reception room and casually tossed Barbara onto the sofa.

Barbara groaned in pain a few times, then shakily sat up again.

As she rose, she instinctively reached around and grabbed at empty air, clearly searching for something.

But after searching for a long while, she still could not find the person who should have been supporting her.

So she could only endure the dizziness and look around.

A moment later, she saw Heisenberg sitting silently on Kingpin's sofa with his eyes closed, like a statue.

The sight made her cough more than once in anger.

The blood lingering in her nasal cavity even splattered onto her clothes, making her look incomparably pitiful and wronged.

At that moment, Barbara was not inwardly cursing Heisenberg for being heartless.

On the contrary, what she was considering was her mission.

The man's perfunctory behavior toward her and his seemingly frivolous manner could not affect his true inner self at all.

Perhaps that heart was as hard as stone, or perhaps it simply lacked experience.

But no matter what, Barbara knew full well that her mission had become difficult!

On the other side, Heisenberg kept trying to control his field.

He did his best to sense the energy within his body and tried to actively release it from the surface of his body.

If energy was released from the eyes, that was Heat Vision.

If energy was released through the lungs, airways, and mouth, that was Frost Breath.

So was the Biological Field released from the surface of the body?

Or from the pores?

It could not possibly be from the fat layer, could it...

Heisenberg seriously experimented like this for more than two full minutes.

During those two minutes, his incomparably powerful brain allowed him to devise more than three thousand different arrangements for the frequency of his energy release every second.

And now, Heisenberg seemed to have mastered it!

But he still could not be sure, so he finally remembered Miss Barbara.

He waved toward the distant sofa.

"Sorry for scaring you. Are you feeling better now?"

"Emmm..."

Barbara seemed to see through the crafty tiger-like smile on Heisenberg's face, so she really did not want to answer that question.

But she ultimately nodded.

"I wasn't used to it before. After all, I never got full marks in flight training. My body can't even withstand six Gs of acceleration, so I caused you trouble!"

"No trouble. I was reckless. Come on, I've adjusted my field now. Let's fly again!"

"No, no, no, I'm temporarily flight-sick... Aaaahhh!!!"

Before Barbara could finish refusing, Heisenberg had already grabbed her and shot toward the heavens.

This time, Heisenberg's speed had already reached fifty times the speed of sound. Forget six Gs—she would not have fared well at this speed even if she could withstand sixty Gs.

Yet her scream remained remarkably forceful!

When Heisenberg finally stopped more than twenty thousand meters above the ground.

When Barbara could float weightlessly beside him while he held only one of her hands.

Heisenberg could finally declare that he had established his own Biological Field.

He had succeeded!
