Viral Scripture and Flesh Evolution

Back in his apartment in the Marvel Universe, Li Wei immediately activated the highest-level magical wards and threw himself into an in-depth study of the Umbrella Technology he had seized, especially the T-virus.

He did not recklessly come into contact with the virus itself. Instead, within the absolutely safe Mirror Dimension, he repeatedly studied and analyzed the massive stream of data through the holographic projection linked to the "Startrail" arm bracer.

[T-Virus Proto-Tyrant genetic map analysis complete... Primary functions: forcibly activates dormant gene fragments, greatly enhances cellular activity and regenerative ability. Side effects: uncontrollable mutation, suppression of prefrontal cortex function, resulting in intense aggression and devouring instincts...]

["Alice Project" host data imported... Key to success: high compatibility between a specific genetic sequence (ESX-1) and the virus, capable of guiding beneficial evolution...]

["Nemesis" T-103 Tyrant enhancement data... Physical strength limit greatly increased, basic intelligence retained, requires continuous injections of suppressive drugs...]

A vast amount of information flowed before Li Wei's eyes. Combining the knowledge of life energy and the nature of souls he had acquired from the Kamar-Taj library with the foundations of genetic engineering he had learned from Stark, he gradually pierced through the T-virus's mysteries.

"The core problem is 'loss of control.'" Li Wei paced through the Mirror Dimension, wisdom gleaming in his eyes. "The virus is like an out-of-control chainsaw. It forcibly tears open genetic locks, yet has no idea how to repair them. Alice's special genes, on the other hand, are like a master surgeon capable of guiding this power through precise 'operations.'"

Naturally, he would not entrust his safety to such slim odds of "compatibility." He had more powerful tools—telekinesis and magic.

First step: Soul Anchor and energy purification.

Li Wei first used the Astral Visualization Technique and Kamar-Taj's soul-stabilizing techniques to temper his mental core until it was unbreakable, forming an absolute "Soul Anchor." At the same time, he designed a small purification array based on the sacred energy of Vishanti, intending to filter out the lingering "madness" and "chaos" within the raw virus solution.

Second step: telekinetic surgery at the genetic level.

He extracted one microliter of raw T-virus solution and placed it at the center of the purification array. A flash of white light passed through it, dispersing most of the invisible violent energy within the solution and making it relatively "mild." Then he took a deep breath and injected the purified virus into his own body!

The instant the virus entered his body, its powerful corrosive force erupted, attempting to rewrite his genes! But Li Wei had long prepared for this. His immense telekinesis instantly transformed into hundreds of millions of the finest "scalpels," penetrating down to the cellular level! He was not passively enduring it—he was actively guiding it!

Using Alice's beneficial evolution data as a blueprint, he forcefully restrained the virus's mutation path with telekinesis, guiding its energy to focus on enhancing cellular activity, neural transmission speed, muscle density, and bone strength. At the same time, he used the Soul Anchor to firmly guard the clarity of his brain and consciousness, directly crushing with telekinesis any side effects that attempted to affect his sanity!

It was an extraordinarily painful and dangerous process. Twisted lumps of flesh would occasionally swell across his body before being swiftly smoothed away by telekinesis, while it felt as though countless tiny rats were scurrying beneath his skin. Sweat soaked through his clothes, yet his gaze remained as clear and cold as ice.

Several hours later, the storm subsided. Li Wei slowly opened his eyes and felt the unprecedented power surging through his body. His physical abilities had undergone an all-around leap. His strength, speed, reflexes, and self-healing ability had all reached the limits of humanity, even slightly surpassing them. More importantly, his mind was perfectly clear, his thoughts moved faster, and his senses had become sharper. There was not the slightest sign of losing control.

He had successfully transformed the T-virus from a lethal curse into a Viral Scripture of enhancement! This body had already become a more perfect viral host, one that surpassed Alice!
