Waking Up in the Nineties

Time had lost all meaning for Chu Hang.

He seemed to have sunk into an endless deep sea, where absolute-zero darkness enveloped everything. There was no light, no sound, no sensation. Even the spark of thought had been completely snuffed out the instant it fell into that darkness.

Who was he? Where was he? How much time had passed?

He knew none of it.

Everything was void.

The energy forcibly copied from the Cosmic Cube was as vast as a sea of stars, yet it was now carrying out the most primitive, brutal destruction inside his body. Like a beast imprisoned in a china shop, it tore and crushed every cell within him, trying to erase his existence completely at the material level.

But two other forces within Chu Hang's body stubbornly resisted that destruction.

One was the [S-Class Healing Factor], the foundation of his survival. It was like an indefatigable repairman: the instant cosmic energy destroyed a cell, it immediately began repairing it. Although its repairs were far slower than the destruction, it never gave up, stubbornly maintaining the basic integrity of Chu Hang's bodily structure so that he would not immediately turn into a handful of cosmic dust and vanish without a trace.

The other force was the [Super-Soldier Serum]. It was more like an incomparably resilient internal framework, strengthening every corner of Chu Hang's body. From bone density to cell membrane toughness, everything had reached a level far beyond that of an ordinary person. If an ordinary human body was a house made of wood, then Chu Hang's body was a fortress built of reinforced concrete. The destructive power of cosmic energy was terrifying, but completely demolishing that fortress required far more time and effort.

Thus, a bizarre and terrifying balance quietly formed within his body.
