Extremis Submission and the Perfect Creation

Malibu. Stark's villa had once again become a battlefield. Dr. Killian's Extremis Virus soldiers were engaged in a fierce firefight with Stark's latest armor. Explosions and the shriek of energy beams rang out without end.

Pepper Potts had been taken hostage, while Stark himself had fallen into a bitter struggle due to his armor's dwindling energy and his opponents' formidable regenerative abilities.

Just as an Extremis Virus soldier grinned savagely and thrust his superheated arm at Stark's faceplate—

"Whoosh!"

A warhead flashing with a ghostly blue glow traced a Z-shaped path at supersonic speed, bypassing every obstacle and striking the soldier precisely at his arm joint! Instead of exploding, it instantly released energy of extreme cold!

Crack! The soldier's superheated arm, hot enough to melt steel, was instantly frozen and made brittle before shattering apart in a twisted convulsion!

"What?!" Dr. Killian and Stark both stared toward the source of the attack in shock.

Li Wei had appeared at the edge of the battlefield at some unknown point. He was still wearing that immaculate suit, while Startrail on his right arm gave off a cold gleam. He strode over at an unhurried pace, as though the battle before him were nothing more than a tedious play.

"Li?" Stark cried from within his armor. "How did you..."

"I came to collect an old debt, and deal with some trash while I was at it." Li Wei's gaze swept over Killian. "Dr. Killian, your 'Extremis Virus' is a good concept, but the execution is far too crude."

"Kill him!" Killian shouted in shock and fury, ordering his men to surround Li Wei.

Several Extremis Virus soldiers roared as they charged forward, their bodies radiating heat like humanoid furnaces.

Li Wei's expression did not change as Startrail fired repeatedly. This time, the warheads contained different energies—some carried potent neuroparalytic toxins that acted directly on their unstable nervous systems; some released high-frequency vibrations that disrupted the energy balance within their bodies; and some formed telekinetic shackles the instant they struck, forcibly suppressing their regenerative abilities!

Before him, those unstable Extremis soldiers were dismantled and subdued as easily as toys. Their heat and regeneration were utterly useless before absolute power, precise control, and targeted energy strikes.

Seeing this, Killian went completely mad and personally transformed into a flaming giant as he charged at Li Wei!

Li Wei did not even move. He merely raised his left hand. Vast telekinetic power crashed down like an invisible mountain!

"Boom!"

Killian's charge came to an abrupt halt. He was pinned firmly to the ground, and even the flames covering his body were forcibly extinguished by that terrifying power, leaving him able to do nothing but let out unwilling roars.

Stark watched everything with his jaw hanging open. An enemy that even his Mark armor had found troublesome had been dealt with by Li Wei so effortlessly?

Li Wei walked over to the subdued Killian and looked down at him. "Your research belongs to me now."

He directly invaded Killian's mind with telekinesis, seizing all the complete research data on the Extremis Virus. At the same time, he collected blood samples from Killian and several core soldiers.

With the battle over, Stark rescued Pepper and walked toward Li Wei with mixed feelings. "...Thank you. You saved me again. This favor..."

"Put it on the tab for now." Li Wei interrupted him, shaking the blood sample in his hand. "I found something more interesting. We'll talk later."

With that, he opened a portal and left the scene directly, leaving Stark standing amid the wreckage, staring silently for a long time at Killian, who was still unable to move beneath an invisible force.

Back in his own laboratory, Li Wei immediately threw himself into researching the Extremis Virus. With his experience studying the T-virus and the Crimson Empress's supercomputing assistance, he quickly deciphered the secrets of the Extremis Virus—the mechanism of rewriting mitochondria to generate vast amounts of bioenergy and release it in a controlled manner.

"The T-virus provides a powerful physical foundation and regenerative ability. The Extremis Virus provides an almost limitless energy source and control over thermal energy... Combine the two and remove their instability..."

A blueprint for a mad yet perfect creation took shape in his mind.

Using the Umbrella bio-weapon cultivation techniques he had acquired, with his own perfectly compatible genes as the template, he combined the advantages of the T-virus and the Extremis Virus and began cultivation within an absolutely sterile magical energy field.

Several days later, a perfect male body gradually took shape inside a cultivation tank. He possessed streamlined muscles, a lava-like glow flowing faintly beneath his skin, and when his eyes opened, they were filled with reason and absolute loyalty.

"Master." He dropped to one knee, his voice steady. He possessed superhuman strength, speed, and self-healing abilities, could freely control biological thermal energy, and had been implanted with an absolute loyalty command based on the Crimson Empress's core logic.

The first "perfect bio-weapon" had been born.

Li Wei looked at him as though admiring a perfect work of art. This was not merely a weapon, but an important milestone on his path toward a higher level of life.

He stood before the laboratory's enormous floor-to-ceiling windows, looking down upon New York as its lights gradually came on. The Crimson Empress silently controlled massive flows of capital and information, the perfect bio-weapon stood guard at his side, and his own power had reached a new peak.

A feeling of having everything under his control rose within him.

"It's time for the name 'Myriad Realms Secret Society' to truly enter this world's sight."
