Marvel Shuttling the Heavens - Chapter 186

“Stark, can this serum really give human powers?”

T’Challa asked Tony, his dark face full of curiosity!

He was obviously also very shocked when he heard about what the serum could do! He was then reminded of the heart-shaped herb in Wakanda, which have similar effect of giving special ability to ordinary people!

Moreover, T’Challa himself had consumed this herb, which gave him extraordinary physical abilities!

However, he couldn’t help but be skeptical of this ostensibly power-giving serum.

“Of course; my countless experiment results can’t be wrong! We just need to wait and see!”

Tony was extremely confident about this. He believed that his judgment could never be wrong!

…

Li Yue was currently enjoying the sensation that the Compound V was giving him, all the while the others outside the room were extremely worried, nervous, and afraid about any accident!

Tony and Banner were constantly paying attention to the instruments that displayed Li Yue’s various vital data!

Tony had confidence that Li Yue can take it, of course, but he was also confident in his own ability. He believed that he had improved the serum to the point that it would not cause any accident. At most, it would just fail to produce any result!

But Tony couldn’t help being worried. After all, simulated experiments were ultimately just a bunch of infinitely replaceable data. Li Yue, on the other hand, was a real, living person!

Unfortunately, the instruments showed very ominous data about Li Yue. The surface temperature of his body exceeded a hundred degree! An ordinary person would be long gone!

However, Tony saw that Li Yue did not seem to be in pain at all, so it seemed that this level of temperature was still well within his tolerance!

…

Everyone waited nervously as time ticked slowly. Half an hour soon passed!

“Stark, what is going on? It’s been so long. Is it still not over?”

Captain America asked to Tony as he saw Li Yue still lying motionless in the room!

“It…shouldn’t be. I’m a bit confused as well. His vital signs returned to normal a few minutes ago, so it should be over. But why is he still in there doing nothing?”

Tony carefully observed the various data on the instruments next to him, but he did not find anything wrong. Li Yue’s physical status were all normal, and the effect of the serum should have manifested long ago!

But why was Li Yue still not moving?

“I’d better go in and take a look! Just to be safe!”

Tony opened the door and walked into the room!

However, when he arrived at Li Yue’s side, Tony did not know whether to laugh or cry!

“I can’t believe he could still sleep in times like this!”

Li Yue was still unconscious, and his breathing was even. However, it wasn’t due to any accident: he was merely asleep! Very soundly, at that!

…

“Hey, wake up Li Yue, don’t sleep!”

Tony felt a bit speechless. He couldn’t let Li Yue keep sleeping like this and had to wake him up to ask about the effects of the serum. Did it succeed?

“Ah… so comfortable! Eh? How did I fall asleep? Tony, when did you come in?”

Li Yue finally woke up after Tony shook him twice. He sat up and stretched his body, as if it was just a normal morning!

As Li Yue stretched his body, it made a crackling sound, like something was being fried! It was as if he hadn’t moved his body for a long time.

“The nerve of this kid. How can you sleep so soundly at time like this?! If I hadn’t came in to check, we would’ve been waiting outside like fools!”

Tony complained to Li Yue!

“I’m sorry, alright, it was just too comfortable, so I fell asleep! Don’t mind the details!”

Li Yue felt embarrassed at Tony’s complaints. He glanced at the worried faces outside the room, and his embarrassment intensified, but he also felt a bit touched!

“Forget it. Just hurry up and tell me, do you feel any special changes in your body? The data seems to suggest that you should succeed, but I have no idea what superpower you would get!”

Tony expectantly interrogated Li Yue about the changes brought by the serum!

“Change? Wait a minute, I will carefully feel the condition of my body first!”

Li Yue was also a little curious. Could he really mutate and gain a special superpower?

Li Yue closed his eyes and focused his supernatural senses on his own body.

…

“There is no special change. It seems that I have not obtained a superpower!”

Li Yue looked around his body for quite a while, but he couldn’t find significant changes. Not in his body, nor in the unknown skies of his soul, it was all the same!

“But my physical strength seem to have improved quite a bit! It increased by almost 25 percent!”

While Li Yue didn’t find a new superpower, he did find that his physique had become stronger once again.

Maybe because his body already had the same ability as Homelander, he could not mutate additional superpowers! The compound could only increase his strength.

“But that’s not bad. The increase in strength is quite significant, and it should include my flying speed! Even if I really don’t get more superpower, it was worthwhile!”

Li Yue was very satisfied with his own change. He wasn’t some nitpick that cared about min-max! Although he had not awakened a superpower, with his current strength, he no longer needed another superpower anyway!

…

“Tony, I can feel that my strength has increased a lot, but I don’t seem to have awakened a special superpower!”

Li Yue finally opened his eyes and told Tony about the results.

“No superpower? That makes no sense. The simulations and the rat tests had never given such result.

“Our experiments showed that the serum either fail to affect the subject entirely, or manifest a special ability. The ability varies, of course, but they never fail to manifest!

“How come this happen when you used the drug?”

Tony was incredibly puzzled. None of his experiments had produced results like Li Yue, so he had no idea how it had happened!

“Forget it, Tony. I don’t mind. I gained physical strength! And I have a rough idea how this could’ve happened!”

Li Yue did not care much about this. In any case, he was satisfied to increase his strength!

“Wait, Li Yue, I saw back then that your body temperature rose abnormally high, and your cell activity were off the charts, as if they absorbed energy from somewhere to divide endlessly!

“Perhaps your superpower is related to those cell activities, but it takes time to awaken, so you couldn’t sense it yet! Yes, that must be it!”

Tony suddenly recalled Li Yue’s situation and said to Li Yue in surprise!

“Abnormal cell activity? I guess there was something like that!

After listening to Tony’s reminder, Li Yue carefully recalled that there was indeed such a thing. The feeling he had at that time was warm, just like the feeling he had when he was near the sun!

However, Li Yue didn’t take much notice of the numbing warmth at the time!
