Chapter 1 / Chapter 2
Marvel: Immortal and Indestructible from the Start - Author: Mr. Stranger
Fourteen-year-old Su Chen only wanted to be an ordinary mortal and live a good life.
Unfortunately, he was born extraordinary!
His body was immortal and indestructible, and his cellular activity was terrifyingly high. Even if his body were reduced to a single cell, it could rapidly multiply and regenerate.
His genes were constantly mutating and evolving. Every external stimulus and every characteristic of an enemy's attack would prompt him to evolve a corresponding countermeasure.
In short, the same method could not hurt Su Chen twice.
To organize the countless abilities constantly emerging within his body, he even created the concept of a system to catalog exactly how many abilities he had.
Even Su Chen himself knew that, as time passed, he would become omnipotent and omniscient, knowing everything, capable of everything, and present everywhere.
Oh, right. A being like that seemed to be called "OAA" in this world.
Unfortunately...
Chapter 1
Clank!!
An iron shackle was fastened around a thirteen-year-old boy's wrist, and two fully armed soldiers shoved his tall, slender figure forward.
His lonely shadow was reflected along the corridor of the underground base.
A trace of fear showed on Su Chen's youthful face.
He didn't want to go.
But the soldiers holding him kept shoving him from behind, their strong, sturdy bodies pushing him forward with ease.
"Damn bastards..."
Su Chen clenched his teeth, his still-developing body struggling desperately.
"Behave yourself, kid."
The soldiers on either side immediately seized the boy by the arms and hauled him toward the laboratory at the end of the corridor.
This was an experimental facility dedicated to studying mutants. Brain slicing, bodily dissection, and all kinds of illegal human experiments were carried out here.
After all, people were desperate to uncover the genetic secrets of mutants!!
In the past half month, Su Chen had seen countless people taken from their cells, never to return.
Damn it!!
He didn't want to die!
But with his limbs shackled and his young body lacking strength, Su Chen's struggles did nothing at all. Before long, he was taken into a sealed laboratory.
"Strap him down."
At the instruction of a researcher in a white coat, Su Chen's hands and feet were tied to an experimental table, and straps bound his waist and even his neck tightly. He lay flat on the table, unable to move like a lamb awaiting slaughter.
Outside the laboratory's one-way mirror, General Marcus, dressed in a military uniform, said excitedly, "This is number 5162? The one with extraordinary healing?"
"Yes, General!"
A doctor beside him said excitedly, "Even Wolverine's healing ability can't compare to his. This guy's cellular activity is simply terrifying. You could say he's a key to eternal life."
"Eternal life?"
Dr. Marcus grew increasingly unable to contain himself.
There was something else the doctor in the white coat hadn't said. The boy with the extraordinary healing ability wasn't a mutant, because he lacked the X-Gene that was their defining feature. On the contrary, his genes were highly unusual and changed in bizarre ways, as though... they were constantly mutating and evolving.
Immortal and indestructible?
Infinite evolution?
To be honest, even the doctor in the white coat was startled by his own bold hypothesis.
Why did that sound like an all-powerful god?
His intuition told him the boy was extremely dangerous, but he couldn't suppress his curiosity about the mysterious genes that were constantly mutating.
He wanted to decipher them, study them, and finally obtain the answer from them.
"Let me cut open your head and find the answer."
The doctor in the white coat walked in, his vicious words echoing in Su Chen's ears.
No!!
Su Chen began struggling even more fiercely.
He saw that the doctors in white coats around this man had all picked up scalpels.
They were going to open his skull!!
These monsters were going to cut open his skull!!
They were about to open his skull and slice up his brain!
I don't want to die!
Su Chen began screaming inwardly. He thought of his mother, who had died of illness. He had promised her that he and his younger sister would live well, stay healthy, and live to a hundred, and that he would one day find a gentle wife and have a big, healthy boy.
Yet a devastating calamity had befallen him, threatening to destroy the vow he had made before his mother died.
No!!
"I want to live!"
Su Chen shouted.
At that moment, an invisible wave rippled out from his mind. Everything around him came under the control of an invisible wave of psychic force, and every object in the laboratory inexplicably floated into the air.
"Damn it, number 5162 has shown a new ability! Suspected telekinesis!!"
The researchers inexplicably panicked.
"Quick, give him a powerful anesthetic!"
A nurse immediately reached up with trembling hands and grabbed a syringe floating in the air.
Su Chen saw this, and his clear eyes instantly turned red.
He didn't want an injection.
He was terrified of injections!!
"Get away! All of you, get away from me!"
Su Chen roared.
Bang!!
As though his words had become law, the nurse clutching the syringe and the researchers in white coats around her were all struck by a terrifying repulsive force in an instant. With a bang, every one of them slammed into the wall behind them.
Many grew dizzy and fainted on the spot.
Su Chen stared with bloodshot eyes, unaware that his genes were undergoing a terrifying mutation and evolution at that very moment.
All he wanted then was to live.
"I have to live. I have to keep my promise."
His powerful conviction became a driving force.
Rip!!
The straps binding Su Chen's limbs and waist tightly were torn completely apart by his slender body.
His physical strength inexplicably surged, and muscle gradually began to take shape on his frail frame, despite his having received little nourishment for more than ten days.
Su Chen didn't know what was happening to him.
He just wanted to live.
Bang!!
The laboratory door swung open, and several fully armed soldiers rushed in. Having learned that the test subject had completely lost control, they pulled their triggers without the slightest hesitation!
Whoosh!
Bullets from their automatic rifles struck Su Chen with deadly accuracy, one hitting him squarely between the eyebrows.
But in less than a second, as though time were running backward, the bullets that had pierced his body were "spat" back out. The wounds closed in an instant, leaving no trace of injury.
"A self-healer?"
A soldier sneered and abruptly switched firing modes, firing his automatic rifle directly at Su Chen's head.
He wanted to see how Su Chen would heal after his head was completely blown apart.
Clink, clink, clink!!
The bullets fired at close range struck Su Chen's skin, but this time they didn't penetrate. Instead, they bounced straight off.
"This..."
The soldier was dumbfounded.
Only a few seconds had passed between the two volleys, yet the bullets from the second couldn't pierce his skin.
It was as though he had evolved skin as hard as steel in that short time, adapting directly to the impact of the bullets.
"He's evolving..."
The doctor in the white coat lay slumped on the floor, his face pale from the earlier impact of the telekinetic wave. Yet he was now bursting with excitement, laughing aloud. "Hahaha, his infinitely mutating genes are making him evolve at incredible speed! My God, let us cheer for the birth of a god!!"
Chapter 2
"Hahaha..."
The doctor in the white coat laughed loudly. The mad scientist's eyes shone as he looked at Su Chen, as though he were gazing at some rare treasure.
From his initial study of Su Chen's cells, he had noticed that, beneath their extraordinarily immense activity, gene molecules were constantly mutating.
With such a small sample to work with, there was little room for experimental verification.
But he had a very bold conjecture: when Su Chen's body was subjected to intense external stimuli, it would directly evolve the corresponding resistance!
For example, when burned in a fiery environment, the constantly mutating genes would evolve fire resistance; in a freezing environment, the evolving genes would cause the body to mutate and develop resistance to cold.
The scene before him confirmed it. In less than a second, the boy's skin, which had been pierced by bullets, had evolved resistance. Its toughness had increased so much that bullets could no longer penetrate it.
For some reason, a thought suddenly occurred to the doctor in the white coat: he could not be defeated by the same move twice.
"Damn bastard..."
Refusing to believe it, the soldier kept pulling the trigger.
Rat-a-tat...
Blazing muzzle flashes erupted as bullet after bullet flew toward the boy in front of him.
Clink, clink...
Unfortunately, every bullet that struck Su Chen's body bounced off without exception.
They couldn't imagine that a person's skin could be so tough!
Su Chen looked at the soldier before him, his face filled with anger.
"Die!"
The furious word escaped Su Chen's mouth.
Bang!!
As he wore that near-hysterical expression, reality around him began to warp. The soldiers pouring in through the laboratory entrance all turned pale. Clutching their chests, they suddenly screamed in agony.
"Aah!!"
