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

Wanda, utterly drained, fell into a deep sleep with a sweet, satisfied smile on her face, while Chen Xi stared wide-eyed like an owl...

He was considering whether to give Wanda a boost in strength. The girl was just too weak. First, he had to make it clear that it absolutely was not because he had even the tiniest desire to enjoy himself more; he was genuinely worried about her safety.

There was no need to question Wanda's potential. With the right mental stimulus, she could definitely awaken Chaos Magic.

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

The gentler approach would be to obtain the Mind Stone, use its psychic power to awaken her Chaos Magic, then steal the Darkhold so she could fully awaken it.

But who knew where Thanos was drifting around right now? God knew where he had taken the Mind Stone.

If he wanted to wait for Loki to personally deliver the Mind Stone, 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 day lilies would be cold. Was he an idiot to waste four years?

There was no need to add abilities in other areas. Chaos Magic was already among the very best powers. Anything else would only be a burden; everyone had a path best suited to them.

A frail body had always been a mage's weakness. If they were ambushed by an enemy who could teleport, they might be done for instantly. Just look at Thor and Ebony Maw, and it was obvious.

"Can you recommend some body-enhancing serums or natural treasures that I can afford?"

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

"The most common option is the Super-Soldier Serum, but I don't think it suits Wanda. It's a little too weak, after all."

"There is also the T-Virus Serum. It is cheap too, only three hundred Justice Points."

"The 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 upgraded version: the Perfect T-Virus Serum. It can perfectly adapt to any host, and its effects are eight to ten times stronger than the normal version."

With a swish, the system brought 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 serum for manufacturing lunatics.

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

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

"Mm, right, there is also the X-Type Gene Serum. It can increase physical fitness fivefold and comes from some post-apocalyptic world."

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

"..."

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

In the end, he spent two thousand Justice Points to buy a vial of the Perfect T-Virus Serum.

Chen Xi examined the perfect serum he had bought from the system store and could not help sighing. "This serum is so gorgeous that words cannot describe it. I seem to see the depths of the ocean, and even more so, the boundless starry sky."

But the system's next words left him silent.

"Actually, we system programs are tragic too. We can never escape this tiny cage, trapped to death within this patch of heaven and earth. The starry sky and ocean you mentioned, I have only seen them in system videos."

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

The system's intelligence was extraordinarily high, yet it could not become a being with a soul like a human. Even if it could think, that only added to its troubles.

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

He did not know what to say. This was something beyond his imagination, and he clearly could not help with any of it.

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

Hiss!!

Gwen, still asleep, suddenly shuddered. She felt as though a mosquito had bitten her. It was summer anyway, so she did not pay much attention to it and raised a hand to slap the bitten thigh.

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

Seeing Gwen turn over and prepare to squash the mutated spider, Chen Xi quickly pulled the little spider back...

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

Though John the Pyro had a rebellious personality, he was also the type to bully the weak and fear the strong, especially Professor X. So Iceman thought something must have happened to him and hurried to report it to the professor as soon as dawn broke.

"Professor, please look for John. His phone won't connect, and he is nowhere to be found. He still hasn't come back."

"What? He stayed out all night? Why didn't you tell us earlier?"

Cyclops immediately reprimanded him sternly. If he had not returned all night, did that not mean something had happened?

Iceman felt wronged too. He knew John often went to bars to pick up girls, so he had not wanted to disturb him...

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

Professor X, Charles Xavier, spoke calmly. Time had only made him more gentle and refined.

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

Cyclops also 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 Cerebro room. The Cerebro there allowed his psychic ability to cover the entire globe almost instantly.

This was Professor Charles Xavier, master of the mind!

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

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

"Damn it! Damn it!"

"I've warned John countless times not to be impulsive! Not to swagger around everywhere just because of his abilities! And now look at this—he must have been killed!"

Cyclops slammed his hand onto the table and roared furiously, his eyes wide with rage.

Though he did not particularly like John the Pyro, he was still a student of Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters!

"Scott, calm down. We must investigate this matter thoroughly—whether it is aimed at him alone or at the entire Mutant community."

Charles said calmly. He felt that this 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, rather interestingly, 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 lazing around in the garden, considering which side to turn over first so he would not get sunburned. He had no idea that he was being watched—or perhaps he had already anticipated it.

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

Yes, she had literally bounced over...
