Chapter 470: Bug-Level Ability!
[Fusion Condition: Eve breaks through her limitations and completely activates all her Abilities]
[After Fusion, the Player can rearrange atomic structures with their will, fundamentally altering matter itself on a Reality level. However, until the Mental Restriction is lifted, it cannot affect Lifeforms.
Furthermore, before altering the structure of matter, the Player needs to possess relevant knowledge and cannot create things out of thin air.
The more stable the atomic structure of the matter, the slower the rearrangement speed, and it will consume the Player's Mental Power and Stamina.]
After reading the description of the Atomic Manipulation Ability on the Panel, the image of a big blue bald head inexplicably appeared in Xia Shang's mind.
That would be Doctor Manhattan from DC. However, compared to Doctor Manhattan, the Quantum Observer, Eve's Ability was clearly a low-tier version of a low-tier version.
But even so, the Potential for development of this Ability was unimaginable. If it could be used to its fullest extent, it might even be a Creator-like Existence.
Only one word could describe Xia Shang's mood at this moment: Surprise!
Although Atomic Manipulation had many restrictions and couldn't directly tear Reality and force changes through Magic like the Scarlet Witch, it was still considered very powerful.
It was just a pity that it couldn't affect Lifeforms until the Mental Restriction was lifted.
"What is this Mental Restriction thing?" Xia Shang stared intently at the Panel, slightly frowning. If it weren't for this clause, he would truly be just one step away from being an Undying and Immortal Ultimate Lifeform.
He could imagine that by activating this Ability the moment his Physical Body was completely destroyed, he could continuously revive by reshaping his Physical Body.
"It seems the primary Mission right now is to figure out what the breakthrough element for this Mental Restriction is." Clearing his thoughts, Xia Shang didn't linger above the School but instead sped towards the direction of the Global Defense Agency.
...
Meanwhile, Omni-Man's family was going through the discharge procedures.
"Seriously, you really need to relax, especially you," Debbie's gaze swept towards Omni-Man beside her.
Omni-Man Nolan shrugged. "If I stay here any longer, my bones will rust. Besides, I can rest just as well at Home. The environment there is at least a bit more comfortable than this."
"Alright, I'll make you a big meal when we get back Home." After failing to persuade him, Debbie no longer insisted.
At this time, in the Director's Office, Cecil pulled up Eve's file information on the computer and then got up to give his seat to Xia Shang.
"Everything you want to know is in there. Oh, and after I took office, I strictly prohibited The Pentagon from conducting human experiments on ordinary humans." After speaking, Cecil left the Office on his own.
"Human experiment?"
Xia Shang looked at the computer screen with some confusion. Soon, a look of understanding appeared in his eyes.
It turned out that Eve's birth was related to The Pentagon... which is the Global Defense Agency. Many years ago, the Military launched an experiment project called Supe Research. However, the content of this project, in addition to researching and observing Supes, also aimed to create Supes through various methods, and Eve was the final research result of this experiment. Simply put, during a sudden incident, two ordinary humans escaped from The Pentagon's laboratory: one was a top scientist, Doctor Brandyworth, and the other was Eve's Mother, the pregnant woman Polly.
Due to Polly's sudden physical condition, the Doctor disregarded the Military's demands and took her out of the laboratory, sending her to the hospital for treatment.
However, during the delivery process, Eve's birth caused Polly to lose her life. Later, the Military arrived at the hospital, and the Doctor orchestrated a deception, claiming both Mother and child had died, and secretly swapped the child, giving her to a couple who had just lost their child.
In the following days, Eve grew up normally and gradually displayed unusual talent different from ordinary humans. Later, she used her Ability to become a Superhero. Just as she was making a name for herself, the Doctor, who had been silently watching her, appeared and explained her background, while also warning her not to use her Superpowers anymore, as it would easily attract the Military's attention.
Clearly, Eve didn't take the Doctor's words to heart.
Xia Shang quickly browsed, skipping all the irrelevant matters. Soon, a crucial piece of information appeared before him.
It turned out that Doctor Brandyworth had implanted a Mental Barrier in Eve's brain, giving the perfect Eve limitations so her Ability couldn't affect Lifeforms.
"Finally found it." Sliding the file to the bottom, Xia Shang saw that during a combat, the exhausted Eve was taken to the laboratory by the Military, and the next day, when Eve woke up, she saw what her Mother looked like now: a Mother who had been modified and continued to gestate supe experiment subjects.
Immediately after, the deaths of Polly and the Doctor caused Eve to have intense emotional fluctuations, which broke through the Mental Barrier and replaced the two people present with two completely different, entirely new people.
Seeing this, Xia Shang roughly understood how to unlock Eve's Mental Restriction.
"The condition to unlock the restriction is actually this." Xia Shang felt a slight headache. It seemed that the Atomic Manipulation Ability had too many restrictions for him. After all, given his current situation, causing him intense emotional fluctuations was almost an impossible task. This meant that even with this Ability in hand, he might never be able to use it on Lifeforms.
"Shit!"
Standing up, Xia Shang's complexion became somewhat unsightly. However, he then thought that even so, this Ability still possessed great value.
"Forget it, let's get Omni-Man's Ability first. It feels like the difficulty is a bit simpler than Eve's."
After leaving The Pentagon.
Xia Shang found Rock Man Titan again. It was somewhat ironic that Titan, who had been heavily exploited by dark forces, had now transformed with the help of Isotopes, becoming the new underground emperor of this City, dressed in a suit and tie.
Facing Xia Shang's arrival, Titan forcibly suppressed the unease in his heart and quickly walked up to Xia Shang, bowing respectfully and saying in a deep voice, "Respected Mr. Jervis, thank you for your help in allowing me and my family to live a better life. For this, I am eternally grateful. Your kindness will never be forgotten."
Facing Titan's respectful attitude, Xia Shang's expression didn't change at all.
"You don't need to explain your actions to me. I don't care at all." Seeing that Titan still wanted to say something, Xia Shang anticipated his idea and spoke calmly, "I came here this time to find Isotopes."
"To be precise, I want to call the White Lion over again through Isotopes."
As he spoke, his line of sight shifted to Isotopes, who was standing behind Titan with a nervous expression.
"I will contact it for you right away, please wait a moment."
