Super Soldier Serum

"Ah..."

The Ancient One let out a faint sigh.

Her profound gaze pierced through layer after layer of obstruction, landing directly on Wanda as she meticulously studied the fundamentals of introductory magic on the training grounds.

It had to be said, Wanda's talent for magic was so exceptional it made one question life 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 body, even the Ancient One would have been deeply wary of her.

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

Then having her inherit the title of Sorcerer Supreme...

For that reason, the Ancient One had once tried using the power of the Eye of Agamotto and the Time Stone to observe Wanda's future life path.

But the result had greatly exceeded her expectations.

Several attempts had all ended in failure!

Before this, the Ancient One had only encountered this "unobservable" situation with Carl, the Dimensional Demon.

What was going on?

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

Thinking of this, the Ancient One could not help but shake her head helplessly.

"I hope I didn't make the wrong choice this time..."

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

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

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

Frank would be fully responsible for the daily militarized training, regular instruction, combat evaluations, recruitment of new soldiers, and many other matters concerning all armed personnel.

Carl believed that with Frank's arrival, the security forces' combat strength and military discipline would reach world-class standards before long!

By then,

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

"Very good. Everything is finally getting on track..."

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

From a prisoner at the start of his transmigration to the ruler of a trillion-dollar business empire now, he had spent only half a month getting there.

Moreover, both the Warp Dimension and Warp Group were growing at an astonishing rate!!

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

"Hm? Why haven't I seen Pietro?"

After the meeting, Carl called Zemo over and asked.

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

Zemo hesitated slightly before warning him in a deep 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, faintly catching the scent of a conspiracy.

For some reason,

a "familiar" face instinctively surfaced in his mind.

Wait... it couldn't be that woman, could it?!

After thinking for a moment, Carl first instructed Zemo to recruit elite talent from every industry around the world under Warp Group's name, offering high salaries to prepare for their accelerated expansion in the future.

He then took out his phone and called Pietro directly.

The phone was answered after only two rings.

However,

there was first a burst of rustling sounds from the other end.

Only then did Pietro's somewhat flustered voice come through. "Carl, you're back?!"

"Mm."

Carl asked calmly, "How are things at Summit Base?"

"Ah, everything's normal."

As if he had suddenly remembered something, Pietro quickly added,

"Oh, right. Yesterday, the researchers unlocked an original Super Soldier Serum formula from encrypted system 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 at those words.

Under normal circumstances, the so-called 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 utilization, and every other bodily function.

Thus allowing one to reach the peak of human potential!!!

Setting everything else aside,

if one looked at physical ability alone,

Captain America's physique was at least four times greater than that of an ordinary person!

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

It was practically a case of getting exactly what he had been wishing for!!!

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

then correspondingly, the energy Carl received from Warp would also increase by at least four times!

When that happened, his overall strength would undoubtedly undergo a qualitative leap.

Latest novels first published here!

At that moment, Pietro continued over the phone,

"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 made several attempts before this, but every single one ended in failure..."

Damn it!!

Why did that kid have to drag it out like that?

Carl calmed himself, and his expression grew solemn as well.

Indeed, he had been too naive just now.

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

But reality was the exact opposite.

To successfully create the Super Soldier Serum,

the researcher needed extremely deep expertise in genetics, genetic engineering, bioengineering, and many other fields.

In fact, over the years, neither S.H.I.E.L.D., 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 following Dr. Erskine's death,

not a single person had been able to completely decipher the key portions of the original formula.

Nor had anyone replicated the perfect 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.

Yet all of them could only be considered inferior products.

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

They could not provide the all-around enhancement Captain America possessed.

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

Even so, those four different serum versions 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 special cases.

Their true source of power should have been cellular mutations caused by gamma-ray exposure.

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

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

or inferior imitations such as the Hyde Formula, which could grant users strength and physical abilities far beyond humans for a certain period but caused severe cardiac strain and mental effects,

they were not even within Carl's consideration!!!
