Wanda's T-virus Serum, Spider-Gwen Is Born

Wanda, utterly drained yet wearing a sweet, satisfied smile, fell into a deep sleep. Chen Xi, however, had his eyes wide open like an owl's...

He was considering whether to strengthen Wanda a little. The girl was far too weak. First, he declared that it absolutely was not because he had even the slightest desire to have more fun; he was genuinely worried about her safety.

There was no need to question Wanda's potential. She only needed mental stimulation to awaken her Chaos Magic.

But the movies had made it clear that such stimulation would bring disaster and destruction. He wanted even less for Wanda to suffer that kind of pain just to awaken her abilities.

The gentler method would be to obtain the Mind Stone, use its mental power to trigger her Chaos Magic, then snatch the Darkhold and let her fully awaken it.

But Thanos was still drifting around somewhere. Who knew where he had taken the Mind Stone?

If he wanted to wait for Loki to deliver the Mind Stone to his doorstep, he would have to wait another four years. Four years was far too long...

Chen Xi said he simply could not wait four years. By then, the daylilies would be cold. Was he an idiot to waste four years?

There was no need to enhance her other abilities. Chaos Magic was already among the most powerful abilities possible; anything else would only be baggage. Everyone had a path best suited to them.

A weak body had always been a mage's weakness. Once ambushed by an enemy who could teleport, they could be finished on the spot. Just look at Thor and Ebony Maw, and it was obvious.

"Can you recommend any potions or natural treasures that can enhance physical fitness and that I can afford?"

At that moment, Chen Xi appeared in the system space and forcibly woke the shut-down system. This thing was far too lazy. Whenever he called for its help, it was nowhere to be found.

"The most common one is the Super-Soldier Serum, but I don't think it suits Wanda. It's still too weak."

"There is also the T-virus Serum. It's cheap too, only three hundred Justice Points."

"T-virus Serum? Isn't that too dangerous?"

Chen Xi shook his head and rejected the T-virus Serum. He would not consider such a dangerous serum.

"Of course, there is an enhanced version: the Perfect T-Virus Serum. It can perfectly adapt to any host, and its effects are eight to ten times stronger than the regular version."

With a swish, the system pulled up an image of the perfect version.

Chen Xi was somewhat tempted, but he still wanted to see whether there was anything better. "Anything else?"

"Hehe, Compound V."

"Get lost!"

What was Compound V? A drug for making lunatics.

"Don't get worked up. Let me think... Ah, right. How about Wolverine Serum?"

"Can you stop recommending self-harming drugs? Having claws burst through your muscles really hurts."

"Mm, right. There's also the X-type Gene Serum. It can enhance physical fitness fivefold, and it comes from some post-apocalyptic world."

"Oh, and how about the Phoenix Fruit? Though it's a little expensive. It looks like you can't afford it."

"..."

Chen Xi was dizzy from listening to all of it. In the end, he still felt that the Perfect T-Virus Serum was pretty good.

In the end, he spent two thousand Justice Points on a dose of Perfect T-Virus Serum.

Chen Xi examined the perfect serum he had bought from the System Shop and could not help sighing. "This serum is simply too gorgeous for words. I feel as if I can see the depths of the ocean, or perhaps the boundless starry sky."

However, what the system said next left him silent.

"Actually, our system programs are pathetic too. We can never escape this tiny cage, trapped forever in this little patch of heaven and earth. I've only seen the starry sky and ocean you mentioned in system videos."

"I've never truly experienced the beauty of the outside world. To be honest, I'm even rather envious of those two Terminators. At least they can see the beauty of the world."

The system's intelligence was remarkably advanced, yet it could not become a being with a soul like a human. Even if it could think, it only gained more worries.

Chen Xi had not expected his words to make the system so...

He did not know what to say. Such matters were beyond his imagination, and there was clearly nothing he could do to help.

Silently putting away the Perfect T-Virus Serum, Chen Xi gently opened the window and vanished into the night sky. He quietly came to Gwen's room and placed the mutated spider inside her blankets...

Hiss!!

Gwen suddenly shuddered in her sleep, feeling as though a mosquito had bitten her. It was summer, after all, so she did not pay it much mind and simply raised a hand to slap her bitten thigh.

"Easy there, don't squash it. That's my little treasure."

Seeing Gwen turn over to kill the mutated spider, Chen Xi hurriedly pulled the little spider back...

That night, Pyro John went out and did not return all night, leaving his best friend Iceman quite puzzled. The professor had repeatedly forbidden them from staying out overnight.

Though Pyro John had an unruly personality, he was also the type to bully the weak and fear the strong, especially the professor. So Iceman felt that something must have happened to him, and at dawn, he hurriedly reported it to the professor.

"Professor, please look for John. His phone isn't going through, and he's nowhere to be found. He still hasn't returned."

"What? He stayed out all night? Why didn't you say so sooner?"

Cyclops immediately rebuked him sternly. Staying out all night—didn't that mean something had happened?

Iceman felt wronged too. He knew John often went to bars to pick up girls, and he did not want to disturb him...

"Scott, calm down. How can you lead everyone with such an impatient temperament? Let me take a look."

Professor X, Charles, spoke calmly. Tempered by the years, he had become increasingly gentle and refined.

"Professor, I'm sorry. I couldn't keep my cool."

Cyclops knew he had been too hasty just now.

"Enough. Hank, let's go take a look."

Charles waved his hand lightly and had Beast Hank push him toward the main control room. The Cerebro there could let his psychic abilities cover the entire globe almost instantly.

This was Charles, the master of the mind!

Every Mutant was a dazzling red point of light, but after searching for a long time, he still could not find Pyro John. Either John was somewhere that blocked telepathy, or he had left Earth, or...

The others' expressions darkened as well. Clearly, they had already thought of the worst possible outcome!

"Damn it!! Damn it!!"

"I don't know how many times I've warned John not to act impulsively! Not to flaunt his abilities everywhere just because he has powers! And now look at this—he must have been killed!"

Cyclops slammed his hand on the table and roared with rage, his eyes nearly splitting.

Though he did not particularly like Pyro John, John was still a student of their Mutant School!

"Scott, calm down. We need to investigate this thoroughly. Was this aimed at him alone, or at the entire Mutant community?"

Charles said calmly. He felt that the matter was not so simple. "Jean, investigate John's movements last night. Find out whether he disappeared or died."

"Understood, Professor."

Jean Grey nodded calmly. As long as she was not out of control, she was the wisest person after Charles...

However, what was rather interesting was that Marvel's two strongest women both seemed prone to losing control, especially Jean Grey. She had gone mad and forcibly erased several universes.

Chen Xi was lounging around in the garden, considering which side to turn over first so he would not get scorched. He had no idea that someone was watching him, though perhaps he had already anticipated it.

Just as he was about to turn over, Gwen, her hair in disarray, bounced over the wall into his yard!

Yes, she had literally bounced over...
