"Yes!"
Bullseye got fired up on the spot.
All of a sudden, he felt like his former boss's corpse looked kind of good.
Wasn't this just his luck turning around, swapping to a new boss who was rock-solid and insanely strong?
We're all ancient monsters here, why bother playing ghost-story tricks on each other?
Bullseye had been rolling in the underworld for years. He'd been a mercenary, an assassin, a detective, and even worked as a lawyer.
Sure, he and Kingpin had almost ten years of history, but for people like them…
The moment Bullseye dared to stab Heisenberg at the end, that basically settled everything between him and Kingpin.
As for now, it was now.
Nobody was going to stop Bullseye from walking into a better life!
Thinking that, Bullseye accepted the order and turned to walk out of the reception room.
He'd barely taken half a step when Heisenberg called out.
"Hey, wait."
Heisenberg stopped Bullseye with a satisfied look.
Look at villains. That kind of execution. The moment you say something, they start working.
But he still couldn't let Bullseye leave yet.
Heisenberg pointed at Kingpin's body.
"Don't forget to clean this thing up. It's too bloody!"
"Uh…" Bullseye looked helpless.
Boss, are you sure it's too bloody?
Didn't you do it yourself?
These bosses are all the same. Saying one thing, meaning another, hypocritical, living without a shred of honesty.
So he nodded and bowed, speaking respectfully.
"It's all my fault. I'll have people clean it up right away!"
"Mm." Heisenberg was satisfied.
Bullseye quickly left the reception room and started calling his former men.
Heisenberg had no interest in listening to the call, and even less interest in worrying whether Bullseye would betray him.
If Bullseye really brought people back to gang up on him, then it would just be cleaning house.
So after Bullseye left, Heisenberg walked straight up to Barbara.
Barbara still looked wary. When she saw him approach, she instinctively stepped back half a step.
But she quickly forced herself back to normal, because her job was not to make Heisenberg distance himself from her with disgust and fear.
She hesitated, shivered lightly twice, and complained pitifully.
"Doing that… was disgusting. Couldn't you not make so much blood?"
"Haha, it was my first time too. I had no experience." Heisenberg laughed and chatted casually. "Next time I'll be gentler."
While he chatted with Barbara, he was secretly laughing inside like a weasel.
Ancient… monsters… Liaozhai…
Heh.
Adults know what they know. Most of the time, it's better to pretend you don't.
Heisenberg acted like he couldn't read Barbara's fear of him, or S.H.I.E.L.D.'s fear behind her, and asked softly, "Now that everything's settled, how about we go sit at my nightclub?"
"I'm honestly confused. I've never managed a nightclub before, so you'll have to help more."
"Of course." Barbara agreed cleanly, then added in a tone that looked helpless. "After all, you're my most important target. Even if you use me like a nanny, I won't complain, right?"
"Mhm." Heisenberg raised his brows. "Is your car downstairs, or should I fly you back?"
"Fly there?!" Barbara truly froze this time.
She grabbed Heisenberg's hand in one motion.
Her expression carried longing, but also a bit of shrinking fear and unease.
"I…" She couldn't help confirming with him, "I can fly in the sky too?"
"As long as you let me hold you."
"Hah, of course you can." Barbara blurted. "Hold my waist, don't use too much force, and fly, hurry!"
"Mhm…?" Heisenberg looked helplessly at the woman in his arms.
Tsk. Barbara was way too proactive.
But Heisenberg knew that at this moment, Barbara might not be completely acting.
She was an elite agent, and in the future, a third-tier female superhero, Mockingbird.
She had at least a hundred ways to get up into the blue sky.
But among all those ways, Heisenberg's method definitely was not one of them.
Heisenberg shot upward. He originally planned to rush straight into the storm clouds, using those heavy, moisture-filled clouds to get Barbara drenched.
But after only a moment, he stopped in midair in shock.
Barbara was dizzy beyond belief, her eyes were red, and her nose was bleeding.
"My God, was I flying too fast?" Heisenberg frowned. "But this shouldn't happen. Superman can carry people while flying!"
Staring at Barbara, who had already gone weak in an instant, Heisenberg thought back and forth and finally remembered something crucial.
"This… I think I forgot about biological field!"
People often see Superman use those narrow hands to lift airplanes, skyscrapers, even an entire mountain.
But from a scientific perspective, that makes no sense at all.
Superman might have the strength to lift a mountain, but the material of the mountain would inevitably fail under that extreme pressure. Superman would punch right through the middle, and the mountain would fall back down.
So what does Superman rely on to lift heavy objects?
Biological field.
After Kryptonians arrive on Earth, they're all affected by yellow sun radiation, spontaneously developing a second circulation system separate from the digestive system, one specialized for storing and using energy.
Therefore, after absorbing enough yellow sun radiation, Kryptonians will always develop special abilities like freeze breath and heat vision.
And biological field is the field formed by a Kryptonian's use of yellow sun radiation energy, creating relative displacement in the space around them.
To help Barbara recover as quickly as possible, Heisenberg had to rack his brain and recall every scrap of knowledge he had about biological field.
Thankfully, his Kryptonian brain was exceptionally good right now, and he figured it out quickly.
What is "relative displacement in space"?
Everyone knows that in every region of space on Earth, there are four fundamental forces.
Strong nuclear force, weak nuclear force, electromagnetic force, and gravity.
Heisenberg started with the most obvious one: gravity, rapidly building his understanding of biological field.
If a region of space completely lost gravity, the result would be infinitely large repulsion, and everything in that region would be dispersed by repulsion into dust, even into nothingness.
If a region of space completely lost repulsion, the result would be infinitely large gravity, and that region would collapse instantly until it formed a black hole and continued to spread.
A Kryptonian's biological field is centered on themselves, maintaining absolute balance between gravity and repulsion within a certain area.
Not just gravity and repulsion, but absolute balance among all four fundamental forces.
In short, this space of relative displacement unique to Kryptonians can be called a Kryptonian's absolute domain.
When Superman uses his absolute field, he and any lifeforms or objects affected by the field maintain absolute unity under its influence.
So when Superman lifts something massive like an airplane, the reason the object's surface isn't destroyed by huge pressure, and instead accelerates or stops together with him, is because Superman's bio-field extends to the object he's touching and protects its overall structure.
That is also why Lois Lane, in Superman's arms, wouldn't be harmed even if Superman carried her straight into the sun.
Heisenberg understood one point clearly: his cheap descendant had set a very good example for him.
As Superman sunbathes longer and longer, his biological field can even develop to a visibly noticeable level.
And the reason so many people complain that Superman's clothes can't be damaged no matter how you hit them is because the biological field is at work.
In the comic All-Star Superman, because Superman absorbed an excessive amount of solar radiation, he possessed an extremely powerful biological field.
A Pathfinder spacecraft suffered an accident and plunged into the sun, and Superman infinitely extended his field, pulling that ordinary spacecraft out of the sun without letting the ship or the people inside suffer any damage at all.
And Superman's young girlfriend, when Superman held her and flew at 7070 times the speed of sound, once said a line of disbelief.
She said to Superman, "So warm!"
That was the perfect proof of biological field's effect.
And now, after Barbara paid a bloody lesson, Heisenberg finally remembered the most important Kryptonian ability of all.
Without biological field, this so-called Kryptonian body of his would basically be no different from a smaller Hulk.
At most, he'd have a few more elemental attacks.
Realizing how important it was, Heisenberg immediately dropped back down. He flew straight back into Kingpin's reception room and casually tossed Barbara onto the sofa.
Barbara groaned twice in pain, then wobbled upright.
As she stood, she instinctively reached out and grasped at the air around her, empty and unsteady, clearly searching for something.
She searched for a long time and still couldn't find the person who should have been supporting her.
So she could only endure the dizziness and look around.
A moment later, she saw Heisenberg sitting on Kingpin's sofa like a statue, eyes closed, quietly resting.
The sight made her cough more than once.
The blood still in her nose even sprayed onto her clothes, making her look unbearably wronged and pitiful.
But Barbara wasn't blaming Heisenberg's coldness in her heart.
On the contrary, what she was thinking about was her mission.
This man's superficial flirting and his slick, perfunctory attitude couldn't affect what was really inside his heart.
Maybe that heart was hard as stone, or maybe that heart was simply inexperienced.
Either way, Barbara understood clearly that her mission was going to be difficult.
On the other side, Heisenberg kept trying to control the field.
He focused on sensing the energy in his body, trying to actively release it from his surface.
If energy was released from the eyeballs, that was heat vision.
If it was released from the lungs, airway, and mouth, that was freeze breath.
So was biological field released from the skin?
Or from pores?
It couldn't be from the fat layer, could it…
Like that, Heisenberg tried seriously for a full two-plus minutes.
In those two minutes, his incredibly powerful brain let him generate more than three thousand different arrangement patterns per second for how he released energy.
And now, Heisenberg seemed to have grasped it.
But he still couldn't be sure, so he finally remembered Barbara.
He waved toward the sofa in the distance.
"Sorry. I scared you. Feeling better now?"
"Emmm…" Barbara looked like she could see straight through Heisenberg's crafty, vicious-tiger smile, so she really didn't want to answer.
But she still nodded in the end.
"I didn't adapt right away. I never got full marks in flight class. My body can't even handle 66 G of overload. I caused you trouble."
"No trouble. I was reckless." Heisenberg stood up. "Come on. I've adjusted my field. Let's fly again!"
"No, no, no, I'm still airsick for now… ahhhh!!!"
Before Barbara could even finish refusing, Heisenberg had already grabbed her and shot into the sky.
This time, Heisenberg's speed had already reached 5050 times the speed of sound.
Forget 66 G. Even if she could endure 6060 G, she still wouldn't have a good time at this speed.
But her scream was still full of strength.
When Heisenberg finally stopped above 20,000 m20,000 m altitude.
When he only held Barbara by one hand, and Barbara could float beside him without any sense of weight at all.
Heisenberg could finally announce that he had established his own biological field.
He had succeeded!
