As the Super Kryptonian template fused with him, Chen Xi's body seemed to be burning, more like exploding. From head to toe, even his marrow felt as though it were being completely replaced.
Pain! Pain that sank deep into his bones...
Only when he was grimacing and could no longer endure it did the system block out some of the pain. He was finally saved, then rushed into the bathroom amid Wanda's startled cry and jumped into the bathtub with a splash to cool himself down.
When the shower water struck his skin, it hissed and turned into steam before drifting away. This was probably what a true Steel of Body was like—scorching hot like steel.
Wanda looked at him with a face full of worry. Just as she reached out to touch Chen Xi, he shouted to stop her. Was this girl trying to get herself killed?
Time passed bit by bit, and Chen Xi finally slowly returned from that terrifyingly scorching state to normal. He also felt as though he had transformed from the inside out.
His level of life had been completely elevated, as if he had evolved into a higher form of life. Instinctively, he felt that every part of his body contained endless power that he could not control.
He did not dare move and simply sat there quietly, feeling the changes in his body's power. He was afraid that one careless fart might blow the whole bathroom apart, and then his lifetime reputation would be ruined...
He cautiously clenched his fist and instantly sensed the gift the system had bestowed during the fusion. If not for the system, he would at most have been a slightly stronger ordinary Kryptonian baby.
As he gradually adapted, he lightly clenched his fist again. The terrifying power nearly crushed the air itself. Possessing power and controlling it were worlds apart.
Fortunately, Super Brain told him what to do. Of course, most of the time, Super Brain would only tell him, "Hurry up and use your Super Strength to smash the enemy to pieces..."
More than ten minutes later, he had finally adapted somewhat to his power, though only somewhat. At least he would not stomp a huge crater into the ground with every step.
He did not know much about Superman's various settings either. After all, their power levels could casually reach trillions upon trillions of tons; they could blow out stars with a breath, drag an entire galaxy around, and so on.
Everyone had their own opinions, especially when it came to Platinum Superman, Golden Superman, Thought Robot, and the rest. They could argue forever because none of them would concede to the others...
Of course, he thought Bronze Superman was awesome. He had limitless potential, after all. If he had to say which Superman was the most awesome, he would cast his vote for Doctor Manhattan.
In any case, any form of Superman was enough for him to run rampant across the present-day Earth like a crab.
Of course, he still needed to keep a low profile for now. Once he got a little more sun, he could do whatever he wanted.
Feeling Superman's inexhaustible power, he became even more eager to ask how to unlock the Silver Superman template.
"System, let me ask you something. How do I unlock a new template?"
"You are Superman, a representative of justice. Naturally, new templates are unlocked with Justice Points."
"How do I get them?"
"Just as the name implies: crack down on supervillains and do some good deeds."
"Got it. I'll go create some criminals."
Chen Xi nodded, indicating that he completely understood. To him, this could not be simpler.
Question: What traits did villains possess?
Answer: Villains possessed extremely high intelligence, unyielding perseverance, and unwavering determination.
At the same time, they were ambitious, disciplined, self-reliant, more diligent in their studies than most people, and good at thinking.
Question: Aren't those the traits of heroes?
Answer: Then give them a miserable life as well.
Were the villains of the Marvel Universe born villains?
They were merely trying to live, yet the protagonists crushed them like bugs!
Take Lizard, Doctor Octopus, Magneto, Loki, and countless others.
Heroes were destined for tragic deaths. They were often low-key people who could sacrifice themselves for others, give their lives for righteousness, ask for no reward, care nothing for gains or losses, and pay no heed to how others judged them.
Just look at Iron Man's final outcome. After he sacrificed himself, Stark Industries was swallowed up by S.H.I.E.L.D...
"Come, system mission: The God of Humanity Makes His Debut, Fight Abomination and Hulk."
"Mission reward: 50,000 Justice Points."
The system immediately issued the mission. Though this plot had arrived somewhat earlier and differently, did that matter? Not at all!
"Wait a second. Let me see how many Justice Points it takes to unlock the Silver Superman template."
Chen Xi did not accept it immediately. If possible, he felt that Bronze Superman could slowly evolve into Silver Superman just by basking in the sun.
"Oh, shit! Ten million? I'm lying flat!"
"Wait! That's not right!"
"After the 90% discount card, one million Justice Points doesn't seem so unattainable after all. I'll take the mission."
Silver Superman's most awesome setting was that this guy had no set limits...
Any ability you could think of, he could suddenly pull it out whenever he wanted.
"Are you okay?"
Wanda's eyes were filled with concern as she looked at him. Seeing that he had returned to normal, she immediately stepped forward to ask.
"Ha ha, I'm fine. I'm feeling exceptionally good right now. When I get back later, we can play something fun."
Chen Xi grinned as he teased her, directly changing the subject.
Sure enough, Wanda shot him a disdainful glare. There were no fields that could not be plowed, only oxen worked to death!
"Take it easy, or you'll end up willing but unable someday."
"Ha ha, very good! You will soon pay a bloody price for your ignorance and arrogance."
Chen Xi burst into laughter. Under Wanda's almost perverted-looking gaze, he grabbed her black stockings and the mysterious black mask from their couples' games, pulled them over his head, and strode out the door with high spirits...
As a low-key man, he did not want his peerless looks to make his female fans scream themselves crazy so soon.
At this moment, Chen Xi still could not fly. Like Clark Kent, he could only leap high from the spot and race toward the scene.
In New York, the city of crime, it seemed everyone had already grown accustomed to explosions!
George Stacy, chief of the New York Police Department and Gwen's father, was maintaining order. These fearless citizens were fucking infuriating!
Especially since his daughter Gwen and a group of her classmates were nearby, shouting and hollering as if they were watching monkeys perform, even starting to bet on whether Hulk or Abomination would win.
"This world had grown filthy again..."
