Marvel: Randomly Load a Protagonist Template - Chapter 76
“Flames roar!”
Watching Riot trying to crawl away on the ground, Hawking pointed a finger.
A blast of flame erupted, igniting the squirming Riot.
“The power of a regular flame spell is still lacking; it’s only sufficient to kill a symbiote in a severely injured state. If it were an intense fire spell, it might even kill a symbiote in its full parasitic strength,” Hawking thought regretfully as he watched Riot screaming in the flames.
It’s a pity his golden finger could only extract powers from protagonists; otherwise, if he could draw from templates like Voldemort, Grindelwald, or Dumbledore, he would be a formidable wizard.
Although fourth-year Harry Potter was decent, he still needed to do more.
“Eh, Voldemort!”
Suddenly, an idea struck Hawking. He recalled that a piece of Voldemort’s soul, from his peak strength, was hidden inside Harry Potter.
When loading the Harry Potter template, could it somehow access that fragment of Voldemort’s soul to acquire all of Voldemort’s memories and thereby gain a vast amount of magical knowledge?
“It seems I need to spend some time researching this area in the future!”
Pushing aside this sudden thought, he turned and playfully clapped Venom on the shoulder:
“Keep up the good work, and your future will be bright, certainly not ending up like him.”
“Yes, yes.”
Looking at the smiling Hawking, Venom’s body couldn’t help but shiver.
That was Riot, who seemed as easy to defeat as a child to the human before him.
This planet is more complex than he initially thought.
“Alright, clean up the scene and call the police. I need to make a phone call.”
After instructing Peter and Jessica to teach Venom how to handle the scene and subsequent operations, Hawking called the Green Goblin:
“I have a gift for you; Dr. Drake from the Life Foundation is dead. If you’re interested, you might want to take it before anyone else reacts.”
The Life Foundation, as a top tech and biological company, had many scientists. If the Green Goblin could take it over, those scientists would be perfect for helping him research and develop the Gravity Room.
Although they aren’t famous scientists, they should still be helpful, helping Green Goblin and Mr. Fantastic with their projects.
“Of course, I’m interested, Hawking. Working with you is truly the best decision of my life,” the Green Goblin laughed over the phone.
“Focus more on the Gravity Room,” Hawking replied.
After hanging up with the Green Goblin, he opened his panel.
“The progress bar is full!”
Seeing the prompt on the panel to draw a new protagonist template, Hawking’s mouth slowly curled into a smile.
He wasn’t in a rush to draw immediately; unlike before, he didn’t need to rely on a protagonist template to save his life. Before attempting the draw, he could afford to go home, perform rituals, and pray to various gods.
He never believed in such things in his past life, but now he felt it better to err on caution.
Luck, after all, is a mysterious thing.
“Captain, everything is taken care of!”
An hour later, Peter reported to Hawking.
Hawking nodded:
“Let’s call it a day; everyone returns and rest.”
Venom, remember, without my permission, do not kill indiscriminately or expose your identity. Listen more to Eddie.”
“I understand. I’ll listen to Eddie!”
From Eddie’s shoulder, Venom, forming a face, obediently nodded.
Seeing that everything was almost settled, Hawking used his flight ability to return to the mutant school.
After Hawking left, Jessica, Peter, and Venom returned to Manhattan together, where they all lived.
Peter and Jessica attend school in Manhattan but are not in the same school.
Conversely, Venom is heading home with Eddie, who lives near the Daily Bugle building.
The next day.
After his bath, Hawking recited the names of all the deities he knew before pressing the extraction button on his panel.
“Let it be a useful protagonist!”
“The extraction has begun. Extraction completed. The protagonist template obtained is from the world of Naruto, sixteen-year-old Naruto Uzumaki. Do you wish to load?”
Upon seeing the extraction result, Hawking was momentarily stunned.
“Sixteen-year-old Naruto Uzumaki, that means he has returned from training with Jiraiya. Not bad at all.”
He hadn’t hoped to draw a protagonist capable of destroying worlds; developing the Saiyan bloodline would make destroying planets easy.
He would spend most of his time developing the potential of the Saiyan bloodline.
However, Saiyans also have weaknesses, especially in the early stages. They have low poison and mental resistance, cannot survive in space, and cannot engage in breatharianism. Without food and water, they would die.
He hoped that other bloodlines would appear to compensate for these Saiyan weaknesses and enrich his abilities, better helping him through the early stages and accelerating his power growth.
Like the wizard bloodline from Harry Potter, which enhanced his mental power and solved the rationality issues when transforming into a giant ape, paving the way for his eventual Super Saiyan 4 transformation.
To transform into Super Saiyan 4, besides reaching the required power level, the main requirement is maintaining sanity after changing into the Golden Great Ape.
Harry Potter’s magic also provided him with much assistance.
And this sixteen-year-old Naruto, in terms of combat power, certainly does not match Goku.
The Rasengan is powerful, but its destructive capability is far from the Kamehameha’s.
However, it could still be of great help.
From what he could imagine, the signature Multi-Shadow Clone Technique would be instrumental in this world.
They instantly created thousands of tangible clones, each capable of using ninja techniques and transferring their memories back to the original after disappearing.
Whether it’s for rescuing, fighting, escaping, or transmitting messages, it’s handy.
And then there’s the basic Transformation Technique from the Three-Body Techniques, giving him a transformation ability that rivals the famed Mystique.
If he remembers correctly, in terms of settings, humans in Naruto have twice as normal human cells, and their physique is inherently more muscular than that of ordinary humans.
Naruto, being the reincarnation of Asura with an exceptional Uzumaki physique and bloodline layered on top of the Saiyan bloodline, would enhance his physical talents even further.
He could increase his power level by ten points in a month, but with the bloodline combination, the same training could improve it by twelve points.
