Chapter 164 Runes: Overgrowth
Chapter 164 Runes: Overgrowth
The green duo's idea is very...bizarre, but it makes sense.
First of all, they lost, a very simple thing.
The Gamma Motherland people were the strongest experimental subjects in their hands, and now they are gone.
Eagle Country has also reached a cooperation with Carl, which means that at this level, Walter's biotechnology will be given up--
Of course, in theory, the Eagle Congress secretly supports this technology to compete with Carl, but Carl is not a fool, so he can just catch them and be done.
So...resistance is useless!
Then... is there any ongoing conflict between them and Karl?
What a coincidence is that in this regard, the three of them have a relatively high threshold for hatred - although they have fought to the death, they do not feel that the other party is a must-kill target.
Especially before, the reason Carl had to kill them was because they might find themselves traveling through time.
but now…
"We can keep our mouths shut--and you're going to need someone to provide you with extradimensional help, and we're the best people."
Facing the two people's surrender, Karl only felt a little bit amused.
It's really good to get two top-notch intelligent scientists.
Moreover, Stern also recorded many special superhuman genes - which may help Karl restore some characteristics to inscribe runes.
They did a very good job in this matter, injecting that stuff into many superhumans, contaminating the normal characteristic data.
Carl didn't want to go green.
"You know, I found that you are really a cunning fox." After thinking for a long time, Carl said to Stern.
"you flatter me."
Then Carl looked at Norman: "What are you going to do about the Green Goblin? He's a madman and I don't believe in it."
"I have a plan!" Norman explained hurriedly.
Compared to Stern, Norman Osborn himself is closer to a successful entrepreneur than a superhuman madman.
No matter how calm he was before, Carl's execution and destructive power were still beyond his imagination, and he was somewhat nervous.
After all, in essence, Norman Osborn is still a coward, otherwise he would not have developed the personality of the Green Goblin.
This plan is also quite complete, using chemical therapy to weaken the impact of the Green Goblin serum on the brain, and then using "psychological" therapy to completely erase the Green Goblin's power.
Both are indispensable - Norman hopes to find a psychic called Psychic Storm from this world and try to eradicate the Green Goblin from a psychological level.
But Karl just smiled slightly after hearing this: If we use psychic storm to solve the problem, we still don’t know who will solve it.
The ability of Psychic Storm is to drag people into hallucinations and then continuously experience the most painful things.
The development of the Green Goblin personality largely comes from the problems that Norman cannot solve.
Maybe Norman Osborn will be taken care of by then, leaving only a Green Goblin.
So Karl said: "You can copy your Green Devil inhibitor first. The psychological problem cannot be solved here."
After saying that, he looked at Stern again: "I accept your surrender and welcome to join Hex Technology, but as an employee... I want to add some safety devices to you."
Stern had an ominous premonition, but who told him to be a prisoner now?
……
Stayed for another two full days.
In these two days, the world of black robe pickets has ushered in drastic changes.
The protagonist in the play, the largest behind-the-scenes mastermind Walter Company, was directly declared a terrorist organization and completely destroyed.
However, the No. [-] compound spread by the motherland did indeed create many super-powered terrorists.
This is a good thing, because it gives Cybertronian technology a use.
At the same time, Carl also collected several superpower characteristics.
However, most of the abilities overlapped and were eventually merged into a few characteristics:
[Hardened bones (normal)], [High-density muscles (normal)], [High-speed regeneration (normal)], [Low-level psychic shock resistance (normal)]…
Most of these characteristics are enhanced physical abilities, but superpowers such as psychic storms and glaring at someone's head are difficult to resonate with the runes.
Explain that the magical abilities within the crystal do not contain this power.
As an individual's enhanced traits are activated inscribed into the crystal, more and more green magical energy begins to heal and transform Carl's body.
Then, another green rune was activated.
[The rune has been engraved: overgrowth]
[Description: Enhance your vitality and you will be immune to most diseases]
[Current effect: Stamina +10]
[This rune can be enhanced by killing creatures with strong vitality and analyzing their characteristics. 】
Vigorous vitality flows through the body. This feeling of enhanced life source is completely different from the previous feeling of using Hex technology to maintain normal!
Karl only felt that the world in front of him became much brighter, the water, air, light, everything seemed to come alive!
Scanning the outside world, Karl suddenly realized that this world is so...beautiful.
He once thought that the core of Hex Technology had saved him, and at worst he could survive as a semi-cyber.
But now... he discovered that there might be some differences between seeing the world with his own eyes and seeing the world with a machine.
[Karl (not dressed)]
【Strength: 14】
[Agility: 14]
[Endurance: 35]
[Note: You can live a normal life even without using a lot of equipment to maintain your life. Your organs are being repaired and your life is recovering. 】
"Blitzcrank...I think it was the wisest choice I made not to rush to replace all my internal organs with prosthetics."
"Congratulations, sir, your body is now functioning normally."
Karl couldn't hide his joy and lay on the lounge chair with a smile.
The repair of the body by life energy is permanent. Even if the crystal energy supply is stopped, he will not suddenly become weak as before.
Like a robot with no battery.
It is worth noting that there seems to be some kind of connection between the two green resolute runes - Karl feels that only three such runes are needed to activate a higher-level rune again.
However, considering the size of the Hextech core, the current two runes of the Resolute system are getting closer and closer to the cyan [Summon: Transformers].
The two don't seem to be compatible.
It seems a new Hextech core is necessary.
"Sir, the space-time oscillation is increasing, I think you can prepare to leave."
"Then call my new employees - prepare to return to the city."
……
Bang bang bang.
The butcher knocked on Carl's door.
He is now the commander of the parahuman response department.
To be honest, he and Starlight had the same idea - that is, since superhumans can harm society, what about Karl, whose intelligence and technology far exceed humans', might he be the next threat?
But what Carl gave him was far more than what the Vought Company--
During the investigation of Walter Company, he discovered that his wife was probably not dead!
He was just sent to some secret place!
He needs Carl's help - the global satellite system will surely find his wife.
However, there was no sound from the office - the butcher frowned.
"Is there anyone? Karl? I have something important... to report to you."
"Carl?"
After receiving no response for a long time, the butcher suddenly became wary - nothing could happen to Karl now.
"If you don't answer, I'm going in."
After the butcher finished speaking, he directly opened the door!
However, there was no one in the room, except for the space-based control system still running.
The butcher's eyes looked at the system uncontrollably--
Deep down, he is also a man who longs for power.
And now, the most powerful power in the world is here. Technology is not like superpowers that cannot be transferred.
What surprised him even more was that there was a note on the table:
"A little gift."
He can take away this power!
For...for his family?
The butcher gritted his teeth and closed the door.
From now on, he can do the work for Karl.
