The Goal in the DC Universe, Achieved √

Leon reached out, grasped the skull, and removed it to hold before himself.

"Yes, this is the Life Codex." Leon gazed obsessively at the skull in his hand.

He was not fascinated by the skull's appearance.

It was the information contained within.

With a single sweep of Super Vision, the tens of thousands of particles on the skull's surface revealed their most fundamental forms to his eyes.

They were countless Kryptonian genetic templates.

There were engineer templates, politician templates, meteorologist templates, warrior templates...

Krypton had bred countless generations using fixed genetic templates.

From the moment they were born, their children were destined to reach a predetermined endpoint in life.

That undoubtedly sounded like a cruel system.

Yet at this very moment, Leon had to be grateful for that cruelty.

A casual glance revealed tens of thousands of genes.

The genetic templates within the entire skull had to be counted in trillions.

Leon's brain immediately began its eager simulations, constantly using those templates as references to evolve and optimize his own genes.

He had even begun experimenting already!

Countless DNA arrangements flashed through Leon's mind.

The DNA chains in every cell of his body began to break apart and recombine over and over.

Leon's entire body suddenly began to convulse grotesquely, exploding and reforming, melting and restoring itself again and again.

"Fuck, fuck, fuck! Leon, what are you doing!? Stop! Stop right now!!"

Tony felt his scalp go numb. It felt as though his little brother was about to leave behind final words today, telling him to take care of Pepper.
