"Sir, should we experiment on him now?" An aide came over and asked General Ross. "Dr. Calvin and the others are ready. The experiment can begin at any time."
"Not yet," General Ross thought for a moment and waved his hand. "Tell Calvin and the others to reduce the dosage of the drug for the target. I want to have a chat with him first. As for the experiment, tell them to schedule it for tomorrow."
"Yes!"
The aide saluted, then turned and went to find Dr. Calvin.
…
Yuma felt like he had a dream. The dream was long and stinky, quite boring.
In the dream, he was trapped in a void world. There was nothing in this world except the sky and the earth.
There was no sun, no clouds, no plants, and no life. Only he was wandering in the boundless world.
Yuma didn't know how long he had been trapped in that world. Until one day, a giant circular hole appeared in the sky. Yuma rushed into the hole and returned to the real world, his own body.
After returning to the real world, Yuma found that he only had consciousness but couldn't control his body. He had completely lost control of all parts of his body.
"System, am I paralyzed?" Yuma asked in his mind, trying hard but unable to even move a finger. He was afraid that he had suffered some irreversible damage in the battle.
[No. It's because there are a lot of drugs in your body, restricting your actions.]
"Drugs?" Yuma was startled. "I wouldn't have been captured by Kingpin, would I?"
Although Yuma had been trapped in the dream, he had a vague impression. It seemed that he had killed all three Abominations. Could Kingpin have a backup plan?
This bastard wouldn't be using me as a guinea pig for experiments, would he?
The system didn't answer Yuma's question. Instead, it directly settled his previous rewards.
[Reward for killing the small Abomination: Souls 50,000.]
[Reward for killing the giant Abomination: Souls 50,000.]
[Reward for killing the gigantic Abomination: Souls 100,000.]
Suddenly, Yuma's soul count soared to 320,000, enough to buy an Arrancar Core.
[Soul count reaches 100,000. New system function unlocked.]
New function unlocked?
Yuma was originally suspecting that he had become someone else's experimental subject and was thinking about how to solve the problem. Suddenly, he heard another prompt from the system.
Yuma didn't care about that anymore. He quickly checked the newly unlocked function.
[Spiritual Pressure Perception: Within the host's spiritual pressure range, the strength of Marvel world characters will be converted into spiritual pressure levels. The host can obtain the strength rating of the other side through perception.]
"So, I can use spiritual pressure levels to distinguish the strength of my enemies in the future?" Yuma asked after looking at the new function. "Their strength will be reflected in my perception as spiritual pressure levels?"
[Yes.]
This is good. Yuma was very satisfied with the new function. In the future, when I encounter other heroes or enemies, I can compare my strength to theirs without considering their special skills.
I don't have to go up and fight them first to know if I can beat them. I'll have no idea.
Just as Yuma was about to continue researching the items in the Exchange Store and figure out how to spend these souls, his body suddenly regained some perception and regained some control.
"Sir, according to the information, most of the other side's techniques can be released by chanting spells."
Yuma just tried to open his eyes and vaguely heard someone speaking beside him. Yuma tried to see clearly, but he found that his vision was blurry. He could only see two outlines.
"So, you must pay attention," the voice continued. "Once the other side is about to chant a spell, press this button."
"Okay, I understand. You can step back."
Another, more authoritative voice sounded.
After adapting for a while, Yuma turned his head again and found that it was General Ross standing in front of him!
"Surprised?" General Ross asked, seeing that Yuma had opened his eyes and was staring straight at him. Then he sat down on the chair next to him and continued. "I don't think so. I think it's inevitable. You know, since I met you, Hulk is no longer my top target."
General Ross pointed a finger at Yuma. "Because of you, you've taken his place!"
"What do you mean?" Yuma asked, unwilling to think in that direction.
"Isn't it obvious enough?" General Ross spread his hands, seemingly dissatisfied that Yuma hadn't figured it out yet. "Hulk's strength is powerful, but he's just an accidental byproduct of an experiment."
"It's too difficult to create another one like him through experiments. The experiments are too uncontrollable. It's basically an unrepeatable act."
"But you're different," General Ross said with a slow smile on his lips. "Your ability is clearly something that can be learned or trained."
"Besides, your ability is stronger than Hulk's, easier to obtain, and more controllable!"
"So, you understand why we're doing this, right?"
"What do you want from me?" Yuma turned his head and asked. "Do you want to know how I got my abilities, or do you want me to work for you?"
"If we can know how you got your abilities, that would be best," General Ross thought for a moment and said. "Of course, if we can't, it's also acceptable to turn you into our super soldier."
"So confident?" Yuma sneered. "Aren't you afraid that you can't control me and I'll retaliate?"
"How will you know unless you try?" General Ross asked back. Then he said, "Your strength is too strong. Besides, when you lose control, even you can't control yourself. We can't let this situation go unchecked…"
"What is this?" Yuma didn't continue the topic. Instead, he interrupted the other side and gestured with his eyes towards the device on his head.
The device was like a hat, enveloping his head. Two metal balls extended to his mouth.
"This is to prevent you from chanting spells," General Ross said, seeing that Yuma didn't want to continue the conversation. He didn't force it. "You know that some of your abilities can be released by chanting spells. So, besides giving you drugs, we also need to prevent you from chanting spells."
Then, General Ross shook the remote control in his hand. "Once you want to chant a spell, as long as I press this, an electric current will shock your head."
"I understand." Yuma closed his eyes and didn't speak.
"We'll give you a day to think about our suggestion," General Ross stood up and straightened his military uniform. "I'll come back tomorrow to hear your answer. I hope it will satisfy us both."
After General Ross left, several soldiers immediately came in and surrounded Yuma. Each of them was holding an identical remote control, staring intently at Yuma.
"I guess I was still too naive!"
Yuma looked at General Ross' back and mocked himself.
