When Tony heard about General Ross's operation, he had an ominous feeling.
When the military pulled something like this, things going wrong was practically the norm.
After a moment's consideration, Tony agreed to the military's request. They were only asking for some robots.
In exchange, he could develop his energy factories in peace. It was well worth it.
At Eddie Naval Base in California, the air force and navy were conducting joint training within a restricted area.
Meanwhile, a biological laboratory had also been built a little farther away.
Inside, biological experiments were in full swing.
Several researchers in white lab coats fed an ordinary dog a dark blue serum.
This serum contained genetic samples the researchers had obtained, after immense effort, from that island teeming with giant beasts.
The serum's effects unfolded clearly before the researchers' eyes.
"Awooo!" The dog let out a pained howl.
It was clearly a dog, yet it seemed to be showing signs of atavism.
Its limbs gradually thickened, and its teeth fell out, only for another set to grow rapidly in their place.
These teeth were sharper and keener, while its howls gradually shifted in pitch, sounding increasingly like a wolf's.

Buzzz-
Finally, when its body grew to nearly three meters, its flesh began to churn!
Its crimson flesh bubbled like boiling water!
Yet the most astonishing part was that none of that crimson flesh fell to the floor!
The delighted researchers around it clicked their tongues in wonder.
"This is incredible! How could nature produce such a perfect genetic serum?"
"Its cells are swelling, dividing, and expanding almost safely!"
"If we can unravel its secrets, perhaps immortality really will be possible!"
A yearning for immortality shone in everyone's eyes.
But the gaze of
