System Glitch!

Plumbers Moon Base, Main Control Room.

The piercing red alarm shattered the silence.

"Sir! The base's outer radar is down! Spatial warp signals are surging!" The agent's fingers flew across the keyboard, and the holographic screen exploded with a dense array of red dots.

Jiang Li suddenly stood up.

"Quantity?"

"Three thousand! No, five thousand! Kree Empire cruisers and Skrull Empire assault ships, all of them have jumped close to the moon's orbit!"

Jiang Li's eyes were icy cold.

The allied forces of the three great empires bypassed the Solar System's defenses and besieged the city.

"Raise planetary-level energy shields. All base orbital cannons, fire freely."

Jiang Li the order and turned to walk towards the equipment depot.

Suddenly, a muffled popping sound came from the ventilation duct.

Laugh--!

A plume of fluorescent green mist shot out from the exhaust vent, instantly filling the entire control room.

Jiang Li inhaled a wisp of mist.

Instantly, the Omnitrix on my left wrist emitted a piercing buzz. The deep green high-dimensional runes that had been flowing smoothly on the dial began to flash wildly, displaying a jumble of red, yellow, and green colors.

[WARNING! Targeted gene interference virus detected!]

[The DNA Core database is being forcibly injected with garbled text!]

[Master Control... disconnected.]

"System infected?" Jiang Li frowned.

Boom!!!

The violent tremors overturned the tables and chairs in the control room. The Kree Empire's main artillery had begun bombarding the Moon Base's energy shield. Deadly ripples spread across the shield's surface, making it appear precarious.

"Jiang Li! The outer gate number three has been breached! Kree armored soldiers have entered!" Gwen put on the Ghost-Spider mask, shot out Silk from her hands, and stuck it to the ceiling.

"Leave it to me."

Jiang Li did not hesitate. With the alien fleet closing in, he needed absolute size advantage.

A thought flashed, and the target was locked.

"Way Big!"

Swish!

A burst of garbled red and green light erupted.

There are no cosmic giants that are hundreds of meters tall.

Jiang Li's body twisted eerily in the light. His bones cracked and his muscles tore.

The light faded.

Gwen landed on the ground, staring at Jiang Li in front of her, stunned.

"What... what kind of look is this?"

Jiang Li's left side of his body swelled to three meters, growing two thick, red, muscular arms with skin as hard as iron.

The left half of the Four Arms.

However, the right half of his body remained in its original human form! Even his height hadn't changed, causing him to lean severely to the right.

Orc. Genetic malfunction.

Jiang Li tried to raise his left arm, but the immense force nearly flipped the right side of his body over.

"The Master Control's seamless switching was blocked by the virus. The dial cannot fully read the single gene chain." Jiang Li gritted his teeth and exhaled a breath of turbid air with green light.

Bang!

The alloy door to the main control room was forcibly broken open.

Ten fully armed Kree Empire armored soldiers, carrying energy rifles, charged in.

"Plumbers Leader spotted! Open fire!"

Blue plasma lasers swept across the area like a torrential rain.

"Get out of the way!" Gwen shot out Silk, pulling two agents up and swinging them into the air.

Jiang Li was unable to move perfectly. He forcibly mobilized his will and forcibly changed direction.

"Diamondhead!"

Swish!

The red and green lights flashed again.

The red muscles on Jiang Li's left side receded, replaced by hard, cyan Crystal. But his lower body suddenly transformed into a pool of black and white liquid metal!

The upper body of [Diamondhead] + the lower body of [Upgrade].

The laser beam struck the cyan Crystal, Mars flying.

Jiang Li had no legs; his lower body, made of liquid metal, slid along the ground. He raised his Crystal right arm, which condensed into a sharp ice axe, and slammed it into the chest of the leading armored soldier.

Click!

The armor shattered. The soldier was thrown into the air.

"Fire back!" The agents drew their blaster guns and fired from behind cover.

Jiang Li slid into the enemy ranks.

"Heatblast!" Jiang Li switched gear again, attempting to clear the area of effect with an area-of-effect attack.

Swish!

Random gibberish is popping up.

Jiang Li's head turned into burning magma, while his arms transformed into deep blue wings covered in ice crystals.

The head of the [Heatblast] + the hands of the [Big Chill].

"Burn you all!" Jiang Li roared, pointing his hands at the Kree soldiers.

Call--!

What spewed out was not raging flames, but extreme freezing air!

Click click click!

Three Kree soldiers were instantly frozen into ice sculptures. Jiang Li's own flames were nearly extinguished by the freezing air, and he coughed up a puff of black smoke.

"This damn virus!"

Jiang Li swept his ice wings across the room, sending all the remaining soldiers flying out of the corridor.

He glided back into the control room, his left hand pressing firmly against the wildly flashing dial.

He can no longer fight head-on in his battle form. Each transformation is like opening a blind box, and the genetic conflict causes his body to endure excruciating, tearing pain.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The shaking of the base intensified. Metal debris began to fall from the ceiling. The allied fleet in outer space was unleashing full firepower.

"Jiang Li, the shield can't hold!" Gwen shouted anxiously, "The poison gas is still spreading!"

"Physical attacks cannot solve software problems."

Jiang Li knelt on the ground, his liquid metal lower body transforming back into human legs. He was panting heavily.

This must be the work of the High Evolutionary. An interference virus specifically developed to target the Omnitrix gene pool.

"Trying to lock down my genes?"

Jiang Li's gaze became extremely focused. He abandoned mental control, stretched out his right hand, and used the most primal physical method to firmly grip the edge of the Omnitrix's dial.

Click!

Forced rotation!

"Since it's a system malfunction, let's use the smartest brain in the entire universe to fix it!"

Jiang Li manually twisted the dial's markings inch by inch. The interplay of red and green light was blinding.

"Gene Locked: Galvan"

Jiang Li pressed the dial firmly.

Whoosh--!

The blinding light completely engulfed Jiang Li.
