"My gene sequence can eventually be compatible with another type of mutant gene. Which one should I fuse with?"
As Wenwu pondered, the image of the Auntie Marvel flashed through his mind, but he then gently shook his head.
While Carol's genes are powerful, they are extremely difficult to acquire. Although Professor X and Magneto's abilities are top-tier, they highly overlap with his existing abilities, limiting his potential for improvement.
"That's right! Black King Shaw!"
He suddenly remembered this incredibly talented Mutants.
At Trask Industries, he only obtained complete research data, but not live gene samples.
Now that he has mastered Skrull mimicry, infiltration is much easier.
Without hesitation, Wenwu immediately dispatched a clone to the United States to search for genetic samples.
Late that night, the clone who had infiltrated a secret military base laboratory in Washington., successfully located a severed hand of the Black King.
It is not hard to see that after Black King's death, his body was dismantled and dismembered by the US military for secret live research.
After obtaining the gene sample, the clone did not immediately evacuate the United States, but instead infiltrated the headquarters of Trask Industries again to reinforce and upgrade the covert control programs it had previously deployed.
The next day, the clone returned with a sample of the Black King's hand.
Wenwu immediately devoted himself to the special research, and after three days, he successfully synthesized a brand-new gene serum, perfectly embedding the Black King's exclusive gene into his own gene sequence.
The moment the gene fusion was completed, Black King's core talent—the ability to absorb and release energy—was perfectly inherited by him.
This ability has boundless potential and is extremely powerful, capable of absorbing almost all forms of energy in the world, including kinetic energy.
Bullet impacts, explosive heat waves, shockwaves, nuclear fission, and all kinds of energy bombardments—anything that touches the body will be instantly swallowed up and absorbed.
The original Black King's energy storage capacity was equivalent to only two nuclear reactors.
But Wenwu felt that it was enough to absorb and withstand the entire energy of a nuclear bomb explosion!
"This ability is simply heaven-defying! Now, even bare-handed, I can fight Carol!"
Wenwu was overjoyed, his face beaming with excitement.
At this point, his genetic capacity had reached its absolute limit.
Forcibly fusing other genes will not only drastically reduce the success rate, but will also trigger gene sequence conflicts and backfire.
Wenwu simply stopped there; his current level of genetic fusion was already enough to allow him to dominate the world.
What pleased him even more was that all his clones, who inherited more than 10% of his strength, were able to fully inherit all of his original body's abilities, with only slight differences in power depending on the clone's level.
Two months have passed in a flash.
The global media frenzy surrounding the Battle of New York has subsided significantly.
But while the world situation appears calm on the surface, undercurrents are surging beneath, with countries around the world launching a frenzied technological arms race.
Extraterrestrial debris is already incredibly valuable on the black market; any fragment that leaks out is snapped up by various countries, driving prices sky-high.
The Ark New Element Factory, a collaboration between the Ten Rings Empire, China, and Tsarist Russia, was rapidly established thanks to the full support of Ten Rings ' high-end machinery and cutting-edge technology.
This New Element was officially named the Tesseract Element by Wenwu.
The inspiration for the development of the New Element came from Howard Stark's research on the Tesseract. Wenwu was too lazy to come up with a new name, so he simply named it " Tesseract ".
With both super factories in full operation, the giant particle collider continues to operate under the stable energy supply of the Arc Reactor, producing a steady stream of Tesseract Element.
At the same time, Tony also retrieved his father's belongings from Fury.
He reviewed the video footage left by Howard and successfully obtained key inspiration. Using the prototype model from the Stark Expo that Howard pointed out, he also synthesized the Tesseract Element.
Just as Tony was about to monopolize this technological achievement, China and Tsarist Russia simultaneously announced that they had obtained official authorization from the Ten Rings and would jointly build a factory to mass-produce the new element.
This element can perfectly replace palladium fuel, significantly increasing the energy ceiling of the Arc Reactor.
Upon learning the news, Tony quickly investigated some of the publicly available basic theories of this technology, and his face instantly darkened.
Even if the other party has not registered a patent or monopolized the copyright, once they are the first to commercialize the New Element for profit, they will inevitably be labeled as a plagiarist and thief by the world and condemned by public opinion.
"Fuck! You damn Wenwu, have you been spying on me all this time?"
Tony recalled being captured by the Ten Rings and building the Arc Reactor and armor right under their noses, and couldn't help but curse. He immediately launched a full-scale search of the mansion, inside and out.
He absolutely refused to believe that the Ten Rings could develop the same New Element out of thin air, and was certain that the other party had either been monitoring his research throughout the process or had stolen Howard's research records on the New Element beforehand.
Tony's guess was largely correct, but the fact that the Ten Rings revealed their New Element technology ahead of schedule was not deliberately targeting him; it was just a coincidence.
Another month has passed.
Major powerful countries around the world have successively announced the full miniaturization of the Arc Reactor.
In addition to achieving a miniaturized Arc Reactor, China has also made breakthrough progress in its artificial sun project, with the official announcement that its controlled nuclear fusion reactor will be fully mature and commercially viable within a year.
Wenwu was secretly amazed upon hearing the news, never expecting that the China in this world possessed such profound cultural heritage and formidable strength.
While the S.P.E.A.R.. in China isn't as overwhelmingly powerful as depicted in the comics, it has secretly recruited a large number of top Mutants over the years, making its overall strength second only to the combined strength of the United States's S.W.O.R.D.. and Mjolnir Bureau... Bureau.
In the middle section of the Heavenly Palace Tower in the Ten Rings Empire, inside an extremely spacious, top-tier laboratory.
The entire space was spacious and open, with only one giant piece of equipment continuously running in the very center.
This machine, standing three meters tall, is a cosmic storm simulation device specially built by Wenwu.
At this moment, Wenwu is inside the simulated cosmic storm field of the machine, enduring the pain of being hit by energy particles.
The violent cosmic storms repeatedly wash over the body, bombarding cells and genes, and stimulating potential in all aspects.
At the same time, his Spiritual Power was running wildly under the high-energy impact, and his soul and mental power were continuously sublimated in the tempering of the storm particles.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, a deafening roar erupted from Wenwu's body, causing the entire giant machine to tremble violently for a moment before automatically ceasing operation.
The sealed hatch slowly opened, Wenwu, with his eyes closed, floated out of the air, his body surrounded by golden light, exuding a magnificent aura, like Celestial descending to earth.
He landed firmly on his feet, then suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze filled with an indescribable excitement.
After a long period of tempering, he successfully broke through in Spiritual Power cultivation, and his soul also underwent a profound transformation.
Along with the transformation of his Spiritual Power, he also awakened an incredibly powerful new ability.
That is Absolute Life Control!
With himself at the center, within a one-kilometer radius, the life and power of all living things—flowers, trees, birds, beasts, and all other creatures—are entirely under his control.
Within his domain, he can bring all things to life or death with a single thought, and he can also freely extract the life force and soul essence of all living beings to enhance his own strength.
"This ability... is simply heaven-defying and invincible!"
Wenwu was deeply shocked.
In this Life Control Domain, as long as the opponent is far weaker than him, their life will be completely manipulated and at his mercy.
Not only can it instantly plunder life energy and devour souls, but it also has a certain probability of replicating the opponent's unique talent ability!
Although the success rate of replicating it is still unclear, its ability to devour life and refine souls is already incredibly powerful.
