Super Soldier Serum

"Ah..."

Ancient One let out a faint, lingering sigh.

Her profound gaze pierced through layer after layer of barriers, settling directly on Wanda as she meticulously studied the basics of spellcasting on the training ground.

Wanda's magical talent was so exceptional that it made one doubt reality itself!

She could even easily surpass Stephen Strange, who would not come to Kamar-Taj to study under a master until four years later!

If not for the restless Chaos Magic within her, even Ancient One would have been deeply wary.

She might truly have considered taking Wanda as her personal disciple.

Then allowing her to inherit the title of Sorcerer Supreme...

For this reason, Ancient One had once attempted to use the power of the Eye of Agamotto and the Time Stone to observe Wanda's future life trajectory.

But the results had greatly exceeded her expectations.

Every one of her attempts had ended in failure!

Before this, Ancient One had encountered this sort of "unobservable" situation only with Carl, that dimensional demon.

What was going on?

Could it be that this girl's fate had been influenced by that man?

Thinking of this, Ancient One could not help shaking her head helplessly.

"I hope I haven't made the wrong choice this time..."

With Daniel's help, Carl and Frank returned to Sokovia in only a few seconds.

Carl then summoned the upper management of the Warp Group, including Zemo.

In front of everyone, he appointed Frank as the commander of the Caucasus Base, while also making him the chief instructor of the Warp Group's security forces.

He would take full responsibility for the daily militarized training, regular instruction, combat assessments, recruitment of new soldiers, and many other matters concerning all armed personnel.

Carl believed that with Frank's arrival, it would not be long before the security forces' combat strength and military discipline reached world-class standards!

By then.

Whether carrying out special operations abroad or defending the group's interests at home, this force would become the sharpest weapon in his hand.

"Excellent. Everything is finally getting on track..."

Carl was very satisfied with the foundation he had built with his own hands.

From being a prisoner at the very beginning of his transmigration to ruling a trillion-dollar business empire now, he had taken only half a month.

Moreover, both the Warp Dimension and the Warp Group were growing at a tremendous pace!!

He was practically the model of building an empire from nothing.

"Huh? Why haven't I seen that kid Pietro?"

After the meeting ended, Carl called Zemo over and asked.

"Boss, he... seems to have fallen in love."

Zemo hesitated slightly before reminding him in a grave voice,

"However, I have a feeling there's something wrong with the person he's dating. I've already sent people to secretly investigate her true identity."

"A new girlfriend?"

Carl frowned slightly, vaguely catching the scent of a conspiracy.

For some reason.

A "familiar" face suddenly surfaced in his mind.

Wait... it can't be that woman, can it?!

After thinking it over, Carl first instructed Zemo to recruit elite talents from every industry around the world under the Warp Group's name, offering high salaries to prepare for the accelerated expansion ahead.

Then he took out his phone and called Pietro directly.

The phone was answered after only two rings.

But.

A burst of rustling sounds came through first.

Only then did Pietro's slightly flustered voice sound. "Carl, you're back?!"

"Mm."

Without changing expression, Carl asked, "How are things at the Summit Base?"

"Ah, everything's normal."

As if suddenly remembering something, Pietro hurriedly added,

"Oh, right. Yesterday, the researchers unlocked an original Super Soldier Serum formula from encrypted files left behind by Hydra."

"They say this formula can be traced back to a scientist named Abraham Erskine during World War II..."

Carl's eyes immediately lit up.

Generally speaking, the Super Soldier Serum referred to the perfect serum injected into Captain America during World War II, painstakingly perfected by Dr. Erskine.

It could enhance the user's metabolism, strength, senses, reflexes, brain efficiency, and every other bodily function.

Thereby pushing human potential to its absolute peak!!!

Setting everything else aside.

If one looked only at physical ability.

Captain America's physical capabilities were at least four times those of an ordinary person!

And that was precisely what Carl needed most at this stage.

It was exactly what he had been hoping for!!!

If he could truly raise his physique to Captain America's level.

Then, correspondingly, the energy Carl received from the Warp would increase at least fourfold!

When that time came, his overall strength would inevitably undergo a qualitative leap.

At that moment, Pietro continued over the phone,

"But unfortunately, the researchers said that even with the original formula in hand, their current level isn't enough to develop a perfect Super Soldier Serum."

"Baron Strucker had attempted it many times before, but every single attempt ended in failure..."

Damn it!

Why did you have to pause so dramatically, you brat?

Carl calmed himself, and his expression grew solemn.

Indeed, he had been too naïve just now.

He had assumed that obtaining the original Super Soldier Serum formula meant he could manufacture it.

But the truth was precisely the opposite.

To successfully create the Super Soldier Serum.

The developer needed profound expertise in genetics, genetic engineering, bioengineering, and numerous other fields.

In fact, over the years, neither S.H.I.E.L.D. nor Hydra, nor even the Department of Defense led by General Ross, had ever given up on replicating the Super Soldier Serum.

However.

In the decades after Dr. Erskine's death.

Not a single person had managed to fully decipher the critical components of the original formula.

Nor had anyone replicated the perfect version of the Super Soldier Serum used by Captain America.

It was not until later.

That only Arnim Zola,

Howard Stark,

Bruce Banner,

and Wilfred Nagel, four genius scientists in total, successfully reproduced four different versions of the Super Soldier Serum.

But every one of them could only be considered an inferior product.

They could usually enhance only one or several aspects, such as strength, metabolism, senses, or reflexes.

They simply could not provide the comprehensive improvement Captain America possessed.

Much less unlock a user's potential to the peak of humanity!!!

Even so, those four different versions of the serum had created many powerful super-soldiers, including Bucky Barnes,

Isaiah Bradley,

Hulk,

Abomination,

as well as five Winter Soldiers,

and eight Flag Smashers!

Hulk and Abomination were somewhat special cases.

Their true source of power should have been cellular mutations caused by gamma radiation.

So they could only barely be considered accidental byproducts of the Super Soldier Serum.

As for things like IGH Company's "Temporary Super-Soldier Drug,"

or shoddy imitations like the Hyde Formula, which could grant users strength and physiques far beyond human limits for a period of time but inflicted severe strain on the heart and mental side effects.

They were not even worth considering in Carl's eyes!!!

Many thanks to the boss with the account ending in 2781 for the monthly vote. Thank you so much!!!
