Lending Power to Myself? A Way to Exploit a Bug

At that moment, Carl was wholly focused on thinking of a solution.

When he heard Wanda's question, he blurted out almost instinctively, "It's because you're so beautiful!!!"

"Thank you for the compliment."

Wanda smiled sweetly. A flicker of delight flashed through her sky-blue eyes, as though she had confirmed something in her heart.

She no longer hesitated.

Taking a step with her long legs, she resolutely entered the experimental chamber.

A few minutes later.

Several researchers rushed into the experimental chamber once more.

After confirming that Wanda, who had fallen unconscious, had normal vital signs, they isolated her for observation as instructed.

However, in the data monitoring room.

Dr. List stared at the computer screen with a baffled expression.

"Rewind it. Replay the footage of Subject Number 379 entering the experimental chamber at one-tenth speed..."

Then, in the slowed footage, Wanda first followed the instructions from the communication device and walked into the experimental chamber.

Just as she was about to touch the scepter, she abruptly collapsed to the floor without warning.

However.

Even an outsider could tell at a glance that there was an enormous sense of discontinuity between the footage before and after.

It was as though someone had forcibly cut out a section.

But that was precisely what baffled Dr. List the most!

Because... the video timeline was continuous.

And Dr. List and more than a dozen of his subordinates had just witnessed the entire process with their own eyes.

"This makes no sense..."

"What exactly happened to her in there?"

Dr. List hurriedly looked at another screen.

The recorded data showed that before Wanda collapsed, she had caused the scepter to release energy fluctuations more than a hundred times stronger than Pietro's.

That was enough to prove that she had come into contact with the scepter.

But...

What the hell!

Could someone have altered the surveillance footage right in front of more than a dozen of them?!

How was that possible!!!

"Continue the experiment. I want to see whether this miracle will continue..."

Since he had no clue for the time being.

Dr. List simply decided not to rush things.

There would be plenty of time to study it later.

He immediately looked at the screen with eager excitement.

"Number 380, it's your turn!"

The researcher who received the order urged him in a cold voice.

"So it's finally come?"

Carl's heart tightened, but there was nothing he could do!

After thinking it over all night, he felt that the risks of "coming clean" were still too great.

Even if he was not dissected, he might be deeply brainwashed and completely reduced to a walking corpse like the Winter Soldier, one that only obeyed Hydra's orders!

"Hehehe, kid, where did that imposing air you had just now go?"

At that moment, Pick behind him seemed to notice the change in Carl's expression and mocked him without restraint:

"Don't worry. If you die, I'll personally bury your corpse... somewhere even your soul won't be able to find it!"

Bang!!!

Before he could finish speaking, Carl turned around and delivered a kick straight to his crotch, then dashed into the experimental chamber like a gust of wind.

All that remained was Pick, clutching his legs, his face twisted into a grimace as he knelt on the ground and howled in agony.

"You damn bastard, you actually launched a sneak attack..."

"Don't let me see you again, or I'll fucking kill you!!"

Seeing the other Hydra soldiers laughing themselves silly, Pick's face reddened as he kept trying to explain, "Stop fucking laughing! I was just careless and didn't dodge!!"

After entering the experimental chamber.

Following the staff's verbal instructions, Carl passed through two heavy steel doors in succession and arrived at the room where the Mind Scepter was kept.

The room was not large, only a little over thirty square meters.

The white walls, insulated floor, the faintly glowing Mind Scepter placed at the center, and a special refrigerator-sized device capable of monitoring energy fluctuations across various bands were all the room contained.

Yet visually, it still gave off a sense of emptiness.

"If only I could have my superpowers activated by the Mind Stone's energy like Wanda and Pietro."

Carl could not help shaking his head.

It seemed that he could only be an ordinary Lord of Dimensions after all.

Then, if he wanted to prevent Warp from becoming a delicacy fought over by the other Dimensional Demons.

It meant that during the next three-month "newbie protection period," he had to raise Dimension Strength to at least Level 3.

In that case, it seemed that after returning to Warp, his only option would be to imitate the other Dimensional Demons and lend his power to those "chosen ones" on Earth for a price.

Then obtain corresponding returns from them.

But Carl was not sure whether such a method, similar to cultivating "fun-seekers," could help him collect Prestige Points!

To him.

Everything was unknown.

Faced with a future beyond his control, Carl did not feel the slightest sense of security.

Hm?

Wait... lending power?!!

Suddenly.

A wildly bold idea flashed through Carl's mind.

Since a mortal body could not touch the Mind Stone...

What about the Warp Dimension?!!

As his thoughts raced, Carl quickly sorted through them and asked the system in his mind.

"System, can my Warp Dimension absorb the Mind Stone's energy?"

[Yes. The host can use the Warp Dimension to devour any energy source and the cosmic energy it releases, then actively choose whether to absorb it or store it within the dimensional space!!!]

[Reminder 1: The upper limit for devouring energy is affected by the Dimension Strength level. Energy exceeding the limit cannot be devoured.]

[Reminder 2: When Dimension Strength reaches Level 5 or above, the energy limit will automatically disappear!]

"Haha, there really is no hopeless situation..."

A flash of joy immediately appeared in Carl's eyes, and even his heartbeat quickened.

He had suddenly realized that since he could lend power to others, why not lend it directly to his current self!!!

Under normal circumstances.

If Carl did not abandon his physical body and return to Warp, he simply could not use the Lord of Dimensions' power to "lend" power to himself in the real world.

But who told him he had a "system"!

If he could first use Warp to "devour" the Mind Stone.

Then use the system to lend this power, which did not belong to Warp, to himself in the real world.

Wouldn't he transform into Captain Marvel in minutes?!!

Simply put, Carl intended to use Warp as a power bank and the Mind Stone as a dry-cell battery.

Then continuously transmit energy to himself...

Hiss!!!

Perhaps this was the correct way to use the system and Warp!!!

If he could really exploit this bug, it would definitely count as achieving his goal by a roundabout route.

If the other Dimensional Demons found out, they would probably shake their heads while giving him a thumbs-up and praising, "Carl, you're one fucking genius!!!"

At that thought, Carl's heart began to race.

He immediately asked the system impatiently, seeking to verify his idea.
