Metropolis.

Ten thousand meters underground lay a secret base larger and more advanced than Gotham's Batcave.

There were no cold rocks or bats hanging overhead here, only pure white walls made of an unknown alloy, with blue energy pathways flowing slowly within them like a network of nerves.

The entire space was so quiet it seemed like a vacuum in time.

Link floated silently at the center of the base, his eyes closed.

No physical matter surrounded him, but data models complex enough to drive Earth's finest scientists insane on the spot were forming, dissolving, and reconstructing in his mind hundreds of millions of times a second.

This was the new realm [Wisdom of Athena] had opened to him.

He no longer needed external computers. His brain was a god-tier biological computer far ahead of its time.

Ever since merging with Olympian divinity, he had been doing one thing—analyzing himself.

A virtual humanoid projection identical to him slowly appeared before him.

Begin self-diagnostic. Power module one: Kryptonian genes.

Link recited the words silently.

The humanoid projection instantly became incredibly solid, radiating sheer physical pressure. A searing red beam hot enough to melt anything shot from its eyes, precisely tracing a complete DNA double helix in empty space.

Analysis: a perfect biological engine. Obeys the universe's physical laws, with extremely high energy conversion efficiency. Weaknesses: magic, radioactive elements emitting at specific frequencies.

Link shifted his thoughts.

Power module two: Olympian divinity.

The projection's aura abruptly changed. Its sheer physical pressure vanished, replaced by an ancient, majestic, unquestionable power over rules. Golden lightning filled with destruction and judgment danced at its fingertips.

Analysis: authority operating on a conceptual level. Ignores physical laws and directly interferes with energy and rules. Weakness: can be overridden by higher-order divinity or rules.

Link continued.
