What's wrong with Superman's son wanting to be Superman?

“Yes, as for the specifics, I feel we need to go see Gwen first.” Ian put his hands in the pockets of his red and black hoodie and tilted his head to look at the drone projection floating in mid-air.

"Right below the Holy of Holies."

The virtual image of New Tony nodded.

“I also want to see my teacher Gwen.” Upon hearing this, Spider-Man Peter Parker immediately came over, his expression concerned, but there was no hint of ill intent.

but.

Ian looked him up and down, then pointed disdainfully to the stains on the back of his battle suit—sticky cobwebs, dust, and a few suspicious scorch marks.

"Then you need to take a shower first."

talking.

Ian even pinched his nose.

"Um, it does seem a bit dirty."

Peter looked down at himself, then at Ian's spotless uniform, and couldn't help but ask, "Why is your battle uniform still so clean after the battle?"

He suspected that Ian had added cutting-edge technology to his combat suit.

"This is called a biofield. You can't learn it, so don't be envious." Bio-armor and biofield differ by only one word, and En was equally confident when lying and telling the truth. He didn't explain the mimicry armor, but instead soared into the sky towards the Sanctum Sanctorum, the location of the New Justice League.

"I'm an outsider, I don't know where the base is, and Doctor Strange hasn't even bought me medical insurance yet!" Spider-Man shouted at the sky.

While he was speaking, Ian had already arrived at his destination.

After all, New York isn't that big.

The Holy of Holies.

New Justice League Headquarters.

Ian pushed open the door and entered, looking around to find the hall empty except for a few floating magic lamps emitting a soft glow. He put his hands on his hips and called out loudly to Doctor Strange.

"Where is my church's third-in-command? Come out and greet your evil god!" Ian's deliberately high-pitched voice echoed throughout every area of ​​the Sanctuary.

only.

No response.

Ian dragged the unconscious lizardman Kurt Connors by his hind legs through the Sanctum Sanctum's layered corridors, casually tossing the lizardman into the Sanctum Sanctum's prison.

This is the place where the villain was imprisoned in the normal timeline of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Ian had no trouble moving around here; he treated it like home.

"Not a single person greeted me. This evil god has no prestige at all."

Just as Ian was about to smash a few worthless things to express his wrath as a god of evil, the projection of the new Tony reappeared in the hall.

"Stephen Strange isn't here. He went to another planet to help Thor find his missing father." Who knew Marvel had its own "Where Are We Going, Dad?" show.

"What happened to Odin? How come he's like me, going wherever he wants?" Ian raised an eyebrow in surprise, quite astonished by what had happened while he was away.

"Who knows?" The new Marvel Universe's presidential candidate, Senator Tony, shrugged. "I don't have any information gathering methods on an alien planet."

"It is said that Odin and the Frost Giant King disappeared together." The new Tony teacher had no curiosity about such things; he was created solely to save the past.

“Alright, then Odin might have eloped with the Frost Giant King.” Upon hearing this, Ian understood, making a judgment reminiscent of historical fiction. Since Odin hadn't triggered the [Sixth Amendment Clause for Traitors], Ian concluded that Odin was definitely not dead. He was now more concerned about Gwen's DNA breakage.

“New Tony, what did you mean by the disappearance of the extraordinary DNA, which is a more serious condition for Gwen?” Ian’s gaze was fixed on the secret passage that Nick Fury had entered and exited earlier.

as predicted.

"Let Dr. Helen Zhao explain this to you," the new Tony teacher said, remotely opening the floorboards of the secret passage.

A staircase leading downwards was visible beneath the floor. Ian believed that the new Tony Stark wasn't Batman and wouldn't have filled the tunnel with Kryptonite-like "Istanbul."

He jumped down with peace of mind. At the end of the steps was a metal door, which slowly opened as Ian approached, revealing a high-tech laboratory.

"It's still the same familiar taste." Ian walked in with some surprise and the first thing he saw was that "stingy woman" who wouldn't even let him eat snacks back in the old days.

Dr. Zhao Hailun.

Ian can remember this until the end of the universe.

"Papa papa ~"

Dr. Helen Zhao was standing in front of a complex instrument, intently observing the data stream on the holographic projection. Hearing footsteps, she looked up at Ian, her brow furrowing slightly.

However, they did not recognize the boy with the strange look in his eyes.

"Hey, Doctor, it's been a long time."

Ian waved and greeted her with a grin, deliberately creating a mysterious and confusing atmosphere for Zhao Hailun. Zhao Hailun sized him up, tried hard to recall, but ultimately gave up trying.

"So you're the founder of that alliance who came to see Gwen Stacy?" Helen Zhao was well aware of which group she was serving; she was a scientist hired by the new Tony teacher.

His salary is probably dozens of times that of Nick Fury.

“Yes, I’ve come to rescue my friend.” Ian looked at the instrument in the center, where a familiar figure lay quietly—it was Gwen Stacy.

Her face was pale, her breathing steady but weak, as if she were lost in a long dream. Gwen lay quietly inside, connected to various tubes and sensors.

However, their clothes were not completely removed.

"The new Tony teacher said that Gwen's extraordinary DNA is disappearing?" Ian leaned closer to observe, his brows furrowing. Everything here was so high-tech that it truly touched upon his weakness.

Hear the words.

Zhao Hailun nodded.

"Her extraordinary DNA is degenerating, but the problem is that the missing parts are not being filled by ordinary DNA, but are simply left blank, which results in a break in her gene chain."

She pulled up a set of holographic data. Ian could only see the simulated fractured image, and he only recognized the letters of the technical terms.

no way.

It's because Ian's self-study has not yet reached this level.

"I'm a mysterious high school student who plays with fel magic, magic, and is a superhero. It's normal for me to have some shortcomings in science. Doctor, just tell me directly what the consequences will be?"

Ian touched his chin, utterly ignorant yet self-righteous.

Helen Zhao was taken aback, clearly not expecting him to describe her like that, but she continued to explain: "Simply put, Gwen Stacy is not going to die right now."

“But it’s very likely he’ll never wake up. Unless… there’s a major breakthrough in my life cradle device.” Zhao Hailun’s tone was somewhat pessimistic as she reached out and touched the masterpiece she had created in the last half of her life.

The instruments that Gwen had placed there now looked very familiar to Ian.

"For example, being able to directly 3D print a body with a complete genetic chain, and then transplant a soul into it?" Ian realized something and reached out to pat the machine.

A hint of surprise flashed in Zhao Hailun's eyes. She didn't know that the reason Ian was so familiar with the Cradle of Life was because he had seen the apocalyptic version of the Cradle of Life that she had created.

That machine that prints human bodies like dumplings being dropped into a pot.

"A good idea, theoretically feasible, but current technology can't do that yet." Zhao Hailun thought this was a research direction that Ian had come up with himself.

She thought that Ian might have been being modest when he said he didn't know anything about the field.

Is it technically very difficult?

Ian regretted not asking the real Tony for the scientific blueprints earlier.

“We haven’t even verified whether the soul actually exists.” As a scientist, Zhao Hailun insists on evidence for everything, even after witnessing many supernatural phenomena recently.

Ian nodded upon hearing this, grinned, and said with a hint of eagerness in his voice, "Once I learn how to astral projection, I'll show you what a vengeful ghost looks like."

"????"

Dr. Zhao Hailun was speechless for a moment; it was the first time she had ever heard someone call themselves a "vengeful ghost." The female doctor rubbed her temples and then looked again at the girl in the cradle of life.

"Can you help her? Through mystical means?" Zhao Hailun wasn't particularly clear about Ian's identity; her new teacher, Tony, had only told her that Ian was the world's first superhero.

The main concern is that using the name of an evil god to recruit people might scare away these talented individuals.

“No, no, no, I relied on begging to make a living.” Ian shook his finger, his tone still showing no embarrassment, but rather a confident pride.

"What?" Zhao Hailun asked, her face full of questions.

Ian didn't offer much explanation, but instead pulled his "lollipop" from his pocket—a pure white feather that emitted a faint, holy glow.

"what is this?"

Zhao Hailun's brows furrowed even more.

“It’s the food I ordered yesterday,” Ian replied casually, walking up to the life support pod and opening the hatch without hesitation.

"Wait! You can't—" Just as Helen Zhao was about to stop him, Ian gently brushed his wings across Gwen's pale cheek. In an instant, the light on his wings suddenly brightened, and a soft halo enveloped Gwen's entire body. Her complexion visibly regained its color, and her breathing became steady.

It seems Lucifer's power is quite effective.

Even if they leave the original universe.

His strength is still still capable of being exerted.

"This works?! How can this possibly work?"

Zhao Hailun looked at the monitoring screen in shock and discovered that the originally broken gene chain had been filled by unknown genes, and the missing parts had been temporarily repaired by some mysterious substance!

Yes.

Temporary repair.

Just as Ian was about to retract his wings.

The newly filled gene sequences suddenly began to disintegrate, disappearing without a trace as if erased by an eraser. Gwen's face turned pale again, and her breathing became weak once more.

"What's going on?!" Zhao Hailun looked up abruptly, her eyes filled with surprise and uncertainty. As Ian put the feather back, her fingers flew across the control panel.

This is an attempt to analyze those suddenly appearing gene sequences. However, these genes do not belong to any known biological structures, and do not even conform to the DNA coding logic of Earth's organisms.

"Strange... Logically speaking, Lucifer's power should be able to directly reshape her genes. Could it be the universe's self-purification? Rejecting foreign things?"

Ian was also somewhat unable to understand this situation.

"What did you just say, Xifa???" Zhao Hailun was just focused on her analysis, which didn't mean she was deaf. She turned around in shock to look at Ian, who was staring at the feather in deep thought.

"It does not matter."

Ian then turned to look at the new teacher, Tony.

“I have another way, which might require you to find ten mutants for me.” As someone with a super brain, and the only undesignated successor to Batman, he naturally had more than one strategy in mind. In Ian’s view, if Lucifer’s feathers didn’t work, he could try his new profession.

【Mutant Overlord: All that exists and mutates will become your subjects; all that possesses potential will be blessed. In the rhapsody of evolution, you will become the endless king who transcends multiple realities.】

You are the emperor of genes, the final stage of life's evolution!
