Seeing that worker Mike was acting strangely.

"Everyone, get back!"

Kara immediately raised her voice in warning, alerting everyone around her.

However.

There were actually no workers left here.

Only Ian remained. But the boy was currently sprawled in front of a sewage pool, repeatedly taking deep whiffs of the poisonous fumes rising from it, completely missing Kara's warning.

[Hydrogen sulfide poisoning]

Ian looked at the new negative status effect.

He was deeply confused.

"There's nothing wrong with this water. It's perfectly normal wastewater." He had thought the pool would contain some sort of biochemical enhancement fluid, but reality clearly had not followed the classic plot.

"We need to get this man to a hospital." Kara frowned. Compared to figuring out what had happened, she was more concerned about whether the worker would live.

"No, Auntie, do you have some misunderstanding about hospitals?" Ian dusted himself off and looked toward the worker crawling on the ground, whose flesh was constantly writhing.

He was not cold-blooded.

He simply knew very well that hospitals had their limits too.

"We can't just ignore him, can we?" Seeing the worker lying on the ground and roaring, endlessly repeating the same sentence, Kara abandoned her defensive stance and stepped forward, trying to calm him down.

"Sir, I need you to stay calm and breathe slowly—" She tried to support the trembling worker, but unfortunately, her touch seemed to disrupt some delicate balance within his body.

"AAAAARGH!"

The worker threw back his head and let out another agonized roar.

The next moment.

The flesh all over his body began to pulse, and his muscles suddenly swelled as if inflated. With a rip, the sleeves of his work uniform split apart, revealing skin beneath that had turned entirely green.

Very quickly.

That color spread across worker Mike's entire body.

He even grew sharp fangs, while his white eyes filled with icy coldness. Kara's expression changed drastically at the sight, and she hurriedly retreated several steps, opening distance from the mutated worker.

"This... this is impossible..."

Kara murmured in shock.

Even though she considered herself well-traveled and experienced, she had rarely witnessed such a rapid mutation process.

"ROAR!!!"

Mike—or rather, the creature that had once been Mike—threw back his head and released a deafening howl. Green mucus dripped from between his fangs in stringy strands.

The mucus corroded small smoking pits into the ground.

It was intensely corrosive.

After mutating, the thing stood over three meters tall, an utterly terrifying sight. Knotted muscles bulged beneath fluorescent-green skin, seeming ready to unleash horrifying strength at any moment.

"Fuck! A little Hulk! The DC Universe has its own Hulk? I haven't even turned green yet, and I'm already a knockoff!?" Ian cried out in shock. The green giant's eyes were bloodthirsty and full of rage as it raised a claw-like hand and swung it at his aunt.

"Leave it to me!"

Ian wanted to seize the chance to farm experience.

Unfortunately.

He was not fast enough.

"Damn it! He's completely become a beast!"

Kara had no time to pay attention to her nephew's nonsense. The mutated worker swiped a claw at her, and she twisted aside. The giant green claw grazed the S emblem on the chest of her suit.

A spray of orange-red sparks burst forth.

"Hiss! So this is Auntie's steel chest!" Ian was genuinely amazed by Kara's invulnerable physique, but his praise did not provide Kara with any positive emotional value.

"If you don't know how to speak, speak less!"

Ra landed an uppercut on the mutant's jaw. The latter staggered back three steps, but soon charged forward again with a roar. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Ian running toward the battlefield.

"Stay back!"

Kara kicked a large iron barrel beside her toward Ian. She did not use much force, merely intending to stop the child from joining in, but Ian precisely dodged the barrel with a sidestep.

"No, Steel Body is impressive, but my limited-edition immortal body isn't bad either! Let me get a little in, just a little! Let him hit me with two bam bam punches!"

Ian's eyes were filled with longing for experience points.

Unfortunately, wise people were always misunderstood in this world. Seeing Ian trying to enter the dangerous fight, Kara hurriedly kicked the approaching mutated worker away.

Then.

As the worker flew backward, she shot forward at incredible speed. Amid the mutated worker's pained roar, she grabbed an iron chain and bound him to the water tower.

This could hardly be called a fight.

The green-skinned monster might possess enough strength to tear steel apart, but before a Kryptonian, he was like a kindergarten child challenging a professional boxer. The DC Universe's overpowered race was simply that unreasonable.

Ian watched with extreme envy.

"Traitor! Woman! You have betrayed your class!" The mutated worker might still have thoughts, but they were clearly abnormal. He struggled as he snarled viciously at Kara.

"Enslavement! Oppression! The world should not be like this! We should change it! Change it! For everyone! For glory!" The mutated worker's eyes were full of madness.

He struggled frantically.

Even the water tower was shaking.

But his strength was still not enough to break free. The mutated worker kept twisting his body, trying to escape the iron chains, but they were so thick that he could not move even an inch.

Who would have thought.

Although Supergirl Kara was still young, she was surprisingly skilled at bondage.

"A character like this couldn't possibly hurt my father." Ian was extremely puzzled. If even Kara could deal with him so easily, how could he have been the cause of his father's death?

"Hm?"

Having dealt with the mutated worker, Kara brushed the rust from her hands. "No matter what, you were right. There really is something wrong with this place. Something seriously wrong."

She examined the mutated worker again.

The situation felt incredibly troublesome.

If this really was an infectious disease, as those fleeing workers had said earlier, it was hard to imagine what the mastermind behind it was plotting. With that thought, Kara took out her phone and began sending messages.

"Yeah, my deductions are pretty impressive. Looks like Joker won't get to be my doctor after all—his loss." Ian saw green blood seeping from the struggling green-skinned worker's body.

It flickered with an eerie fluorescent glow.

This was the first time he had the chance to come into contact with the blood of a supernatural lifeform in the real world. His eyes flickered, and Ian turned to look at Kara, who had her back to him as she spoke on the phone.

"Opportunity belongs only to those daring enough to explore!" Ian philosophized for a moment, then stepped forward, slowly crouched down, and reached out to touch the blood that had dripped onto the ground.

At the same time.

The system's voice rang out.

[Error data detected!]

[Incompatible!]

But the information it gave was not what Ian wanted to hear.
