Chapter Summaries

Ye Mo tried to calm Hulk by reaching Bruce Banner through a mind-control fragment, but a remote system adjustment reignited Hulk’s rage and drove him back to the shield. As Hulk battered the shield and Ye Mo prepared to hack the system, the figure behind it appeared clearly and gestured.

• Ye Mo distracted Hulk from the core-area door and attempted to reach Bruce Banner through his mind-control ability.
• Hulk briefly calmed as Ye Mo transmitted reassuring memories and thoughts, but then turned back toward the shield.
• Ye Mo used Tony’s concussion grenade and stood in Hulk’s path, urging Banner not to hurt anyone.
• A beep from the core area changed the shield’s frequency, provoking Hulk to shove Ye Mo aside and attack the shield again.
• With his mind-control ability on cooldown, Ye Mo approached the shield’s port with a chip to hack the system, but stopped when the figure behind the shield appeared and raised a hand.

Ye Mo unlocked a force field shield ability and used it to withstand Hulk's attacks while protecting the damaged alloy door. After spotting a red light near the control room, he focused on the possible source of the interference.

• Hulk smashed Ye Mo away from the door, but an emergency force field protected him from a lethal stomp and unlocked the Gene Spiral Tower's eleventh floor.
• Ye Mo learned to project the force field and used it to protect the alloy door and block Hulk's blows.
• Ye Mo realized Hulk was targeting him and practiced turning the shield to block attacks from the side and above.
• Ye Mo retreated into the shadows, watched the door's flickering blue light, and suspected the person controlling it was nearby.
• Hulk charged at the door again, and Ye Mo shielded its frame, stopping the cracks from spreading.
• Ye Mo noticed a faint red light flashing near the control room and fixed his attention on it.

Ye Mo discovered that General Ross had been directing the operation against him and turned the base’s systems against the military. After sending the soldiers into chaos, Ye Mo prepared to confront Ross.

• Ye Mo escaped the smoke-filled room, evaded drones and soldiers, and reached an abandoned drainage system with the chip.
• Ye Mo used the chip to uncover Ross’s top-secret command and realized the mission had become a hunt targeting him.
• Ye Mo combined his defensive abilities and prepared EMP devices and vibranium fragments to fight back.
• Ye Mo used mechanical spiders to disable a reconnaissance robot, then briefly seized control of the base’s network.
• Ye Mo redirected drones to attack the military’s vehicles, creating chaos as he prepared to face General Ross.

Ye Mo fought Abomination at the base, using his abilities and improvised devices to survive until Tony and Emma Frost could arrive. After unlocking a new ability and running out of shield energy, he kept Abomination occupied and threw a concussion grenade at his feet.

• Ye Mo activated Steel Bone Body and his Force Field Shield, but Abomination's attack sent him crashing into the ruins.
• Ye Mo used a jammer and Wall Phasing Technique to evade Abomination, then retrieved a vibranium fragment and reinforced his shield.
• Abomination hurled a concrete pillar that exhausted Ye Mo's shield and left him badly injured, while the Gene Spiral Tower unlocked Synergistic Resonance Perception (Prototype).
• Tony flew toward the battlefield, and Emma Frost told Ye Mo through their mental channel that help would arrive within three minutes.
• Ye Mo dodged Abomination's blows by phasing through walls and used a live circuit board to briefly stun him.
• Ye Mo threw his last miniature concussion grenade at Abomination's feet as Tony's aircraft descended and Emma Frost drew closer.

Ye Mo, Tony, and Emma Frost coordinated a trap to lure Abomination into the underground utility level and use electricity to disrupt his nerves. Ye Mo made contact with Abomination’s leg as the current surged, but Abomination’s raised fist threatened to strike before the attack could finish.

• Ye Mo, Tony, and Emma Frost analyzed Abomination’s tactics and planned to lure him into a narrow underground passage with decoy missiles and mental interference.
• Ye Mo chose to use high-voltage cables and a vibranium fragment to disrupt Abomination’s nerves, while Emma agreed to stabilize Ye Mo and Tony prepared the aerial decoy.
• When Abomination approached the control tower, Tony fired the red flare and launched decoy missiles as Emma misdirected Abomination and Ye Mo phased into the utility level.
• Ye Mo inserted the vibranium fragment into a cable connector and grabbed the nerve bundle behind Abomination’s right leg, sending current through it and making Abomination convulse.
• As Tony urged Ye Mo to continue and Emma maintained the mental link, Abomination raised his left fist and swung it toward Ye Mo’s hiding place.

Ye Mo and Emma Frost worked together to repeatedly disable Abomination, but its regeneration and strength kept it rising again. With Emma nearly exhausted, they used her final psychic assault to distract it while Ye Mo triggered a surge of electricity through the flooded utility level, leaving Abomination convulsing on the ground.

• Emma Frost invaded Abomination's mind to divert its punch, allowing Ye Mo to paralyze its right leg with the Vibranium fragment.
• Emma shared Abomination's weak points psychically, then helped Ye Mo slow it down while he froze its neck and drove the fragment into its chest.
• Abomination began recovering and rising despite the electrical damage, while Ye Mo realized Emma could not sustain another psychic attack.
• Emma identified an exposed conduit connected to the main power supply, and Ye Mo agreed to use it while she held Abomination's attention.
• Emma unleashed her remaining psychic power to distract Abomination, and Ye Mo kicked the conduit, sending a surge through the standing water that knocked Abomination down.

Ye Mo, Emma Frost, and Tony Stark joined forces against Abomination, but his pain-fueled strength overwhelmed their attacks. The chapter ended with Ye Mo injured and the nearly depleted vibranium fragment falling toward an electrical distribution box as Emma Frost tried to catch it.

• Tony Stark arrived and attacked Abomination while Emma Frost disrupted his balance and Ye Mo redirected Tony's flames to block Abomination's retreat.
• Abomination recovered, unleashed a shock wave, and struck Tony hard enough to damage his armor and send him crashing into a wall.
• Emma Frost explained that Abomination grew stronger from pain, and Ye Mo planned to use the exposed high-voltage wire and vibranium fragment to paralyze him.
• Tony drew Abomination's attention with suppressing fire while Ye Mo led Emma Frost toward the electrical distribution box.
• Ye Mo reached Abomination's back, but Abomination turned and struck him, shattering his shield and sending the vibranium fragment toward the distribution box as Emma Frost reached for it.

Ye Mo and Emma Frost combined their psychic powers to restrain Abomination long enough for Ye Mo to shock him with a Vibranium shard and disrupt the signals controlling him. Abomination recovered with a more lucid, malicious gaze and advanced toward Ye Mo.

• Ye Mo realized Abomination's rigid attacks suggested someone was guiding him and signaled Emma Frost to attempt Mind Control.
• Ye Mo and Emma Frost entered Abomination's mind together and briefly froze him, allowing Ye Mo to retrieve the Vibranium shard.

• Ye Mo used Regenerative Phasing to disrupt a central signal in Abomination's nervous system, making him collapse to his knees.
• Emma Frost tried to attack Abomination psychically despite Ye Mo's warning, but Abomination stood and began walking toward him with a lucid, malicious gaze.

Ye Mo’s rage-triggered power rampage overwhelmed Abomination after Abomination gravely wounded Emma Frost. The chapter ended with Ye Mo beside Emma, holding his last Vibranium fragment as Abomination recovered and another fight loomed.

• Abomination attacked Emma Frost, shattering her Diamond Form and leaving her unconscious with a weak pulse.
• Ye Mo’s rage awakened a power rampage, and his abilities surged out of control as he battered Abomination into a collapsed pillar.
• Ye Mo prepared to kill Abomination but stopped when he saw Emma’s finger twitch and went to support her.
• Abomination began to recover while Ye Mo took out his last Vibranium fragment, which had only 3% charge remaining.

Ye Mo kept Emma alive after her head injury and stayed with her while Abomination remained a threat. Emma woke and held his hand as dawn approached, while Ye Mo prepared to protect her if the fight resumed.

• Ye Mo stabilized Emma, covered her with his hoodie, and used Telepathy to keep her responsive while treating her head wound.

• Ye Mo admitted he did not know why he had stopped fighting to return to Emma, and she did not press him.
• Emma closed her eyes to rest while holding Ye Mo's hand, and he vowed to shield her if Abomination got up.

Ye Mo activated his Extreme Regeneration while recovering from his injuries, then prepared to face Abomination again. After Abomination woke and attacked, Ye Mo used the EMP and his new ability to break free and launch a renewed assault.

• Ye Mo focused on the warmth he felt toward Emma Frost, activating Extreme Regeneration and unlocking Gene Spiral Tower floor 12, which increased synergy efficiency across his ability sequences by 40%.
• Ye Mo healed enough to fight, gathered a charged circuit board and a metal pipe, and waited for Abomination to wake while Emma Frost slept nearby.

• Abomination grabbed Ye Mo by the throat, but Ye Mo's regeneration surged, restoring his strength so he could kick free and escape his grip.
• Ye Mo charged Abomination again as the injured creature roared and flailed after being burned by the EMP.

Ye Mo drove Abomination into retreat by damaging the nerve bundle in the back of his neck, then secured the recovered vibranium fragment and kept watch over Emma Frost as dawn broke. With Abomination and General Ross still threats and Tony not yet back, Ye Mo waited for time to prepare defenses, while a dark silhouette moved at the edge of the woods.

• Ye Mo struck Abomination's damaged neck vertebra and nerve bundle, leaving him unable to stand.
• Abomination fled into the ruins, and Ye Mo stayed ready in case he returned.
• Ye Mo recorded Abomination's regeneration delay, EMP effect, and vulnerable nerve bundle, then uploaded the data for Tony.
• Ye Mo recovered the vibranium fragment from the electrical box and confirmed it still had 2.8% charge.
• Ye Mo kept watch near the unconscious Emma Frost and waited for Tony as a dark silhouette moved at the forest's edge.

After Abomination fled, Ye Mo, Emma Frost, and Tony Stark devised a coordinated plan to exploit his neurological weaknesses and investigate whoever was controlling him. As they prepared a trap in the ruins, Emma sensed Abomination returning.

• Ye Mo recorded Abomination's weaknesses while Tony arrived and confirmed that Emma Frost would recover soon.
• Emma woke, and she and Tony analyzed Abomination's nerve responses and vulnerability to electromagnetic interference.
• Ye Mo, Emma, and Tony agreed on a three-stage strategy using Emma's mental confusion, Tony's EMP, and Ye Mo's attacks on the nerve node behind Abomination's neck.
• Emma sensed that an unknown force had programmed Abomination and proposed tracing its signal when he returned.
• Tony began modifying his armor, Emma rested, and Ye Mo prepared an electromagnetic trap before Emma warned that Abomination was back.

• Ye Mo, Tony, and Emma Frost prepared a coordinated plan to disrupt Abomination, sever his signal, and strike the node at the back of his neck.
• As Abomination approached, Emma disrupted his cognition, Tony fired an electromagnetic pulse, and Ye Mo struck his neck with an electrified gauntlet.
• The team repeated the attack, weakening Abomination and slowing his regeneration while Tony tracked a shifting signal.
• Emma discovered that a person was remotely controlling Abomination with a psychic device, but the controller detected her and began scanning her in return.

• The remote signal disappeared, and Ye Mo vowed to find the person behind Abomination as Emma collapsed from the strain.

Ye Mo helped Bruce confront his fear of the Hulk and persuaded him to rely on his teammates. After Bruce identified a remote consciousness synchronization signal linked to an abandoned Arctic research station, Ice Casket, he agreed to join Ye Mo and Tony in investigating it, while a level of the Gene Spiral Tower began to glow.

• Ye Mo sat with Bruce and reassured him that he was a person struggling to control a frightening ability, not a monster or a weapon.
• Bruce took Ye Mo’s hand and agreed to stop hiding and face his transformation with help from Ye Mo, Tony, and Emma Frost.
• Bruce examined Tony’s signal data and recognized it as a consciousness synchronization protocol tied to old gamma experiment records.
• Bruce located the signal near the Arctic Circle at an abandoned research station codenamed Ice Casket, and he volunteered to go with Ye Mo and Tony.
• A drone flew north as Ye Mo felt a throbbing in his temple and a level inside the Gene Spiral Tower glimmered.

Ye Mo reassured Bruce that his friends would stand by him even if he lost control, and Bruce began to accept them as teammates. After clasping Ye Mo’s hand, Bruce prepared to leave with him for the Arctic.

• Ye Mo told Bruce that his concern for others showed he was not a monster and that the team wanted to face danger alongside him.
• Bruce admitted he did not want to run anymore, and Ye Mo encouraged him to ask for help when he needed it.

• Bruce asked what would happen if he lost control, and Ye Mo promised that he, Emma, and Tony would stop him without giving up on him.
• Ye Mo sensed that the Gene Spiral Tower’s emotional resonance had increased, and Bruce clasped his hand after Ye Mo called him a teammate.
• Ye Mo and Bruce stood together at the ruins, then Ye Mo reminded Bruce to use heat patches if the Arctic was cold.

Ye Mo used a stabilizing resonance to help Bruce face the force inside him and gained Bruce’s deep trust. Just as Bruce began to steady himself, an external signal triggered a gamma reaction, and he started transforming while calling Ye Mo’s name.

• Ye Mo guided Bruce through breathing and emotional resonance, helping him sense the Hulk’s power without trying to suppress it.
• Bruce admitted he feared hurting people, and Ye Mo promised the team would stand by him even if he lost control.

• Bruce began transforming despite Ye Mo’s efforts to calm him, then forced himself to call Ye Mo’s name.

General Ross ordered a new operation to capture Bruce Banner and kill Ye Mo if he resisted, then personally flew toward the northern mountains. When Ye Mo signaled toward a surveillance camera, Ross recognized it as a military signal meaning “ignite.”

• Ross reviewed footage of Ye Mo phasing through a wall and ordered Teams B, D, and F to launch Operation Wall Breaker.
• Ross ordered the military to conceal the operation and capture Bruce Banner alive while eliminating anyone who interfered.
• Ross boarded a transport with the damaged EMP prototype and ordered his forces to seal the site and use lethal force against Ye Mo if he escaped.
• Ross ordered the EMP team to set up a jamming array so Ye Mo could not communicate.
• Ross saw Ye Mo make a gesture toward a surveillance camera and recognized it as the military hand signal for “ignite.”

Thaddeus Ross secretly hired the Scavenger Unit and offered Bruce Banner as a test subject in exchange for help targeting Ye Mo. At the ruins, Ye Mo detected a signal that could manipulate cognition and left warnings for Tony while an unexplained red light and the Vibranium fragments suggested the threat was already affecting the area.

• Thaddeus Ross used an unregistered satellite phone to hire the Scavenger Unit, agreeing to hand over Bruce Banner as a test subject.
• Ye Mo detected an unfamiliar signal, KX-9701, and his codebreaker shut down while analyzing it.
• The Gene Spiral Tower warned Ye Mo that the external signal could misdirect his cognition, so he stopped probing and waited for Tony and Emma Frost.
• Ye Mo saw a dark red light sweep over newly arranged rocks, and his Vibranium fragment warmed and hummed before he threw it aside.
• Ye Mo signaled that something was wrong, left Tony a warning not to approach the northwest corner, and kept a second Vibranium fragment secret.

Ye Mo, Tony, and Emma Frost prepared layered defenses against a hidden signal that could interfere with perception and judgment. Their systems were ready, but a faint tremor from Ye Mo’s vibranium fragment showed that the threat was still active.

• Ye Mo gave Tony the vibranium fragment, and Emma Frost detected a hidden psychic imprint designed to influence judgment.
• Ye Mo, Tony, and Emma set up underground vibranium alarms, aerial drone surveillance and EMP traps, and a psychic Silent Barrier.
• Ye Mo discovered that external interference had delayed his Danger Prediction function, and he cleared the disruption with Regenerative Phasing.
• Emma reinforced the psychic barrier, and the three assigned their roles for monitoring and responding to threats.
• A hazy pillar of light flashed across the northern ridgeline, and Ye Mo’s fragment trembled faintly.
