CHAPTER 52

After a hurried dinner, Aidan found himself wandering through the sprawling, brilliantly lit S.H.I.E.L.D. camp. He passed by numerous testing rooms and mobile labs, their interiors buzzing with scientists analyzing data from the crater. He absorbed what he could from a distance, but astrophysics was not his specialty. The concept of the Bifrost—a controlled, stable Einstein-Rosen bridge capable of traversing the Nine Realms—was deeply fascinating, a far more elegant solution than his own ...

CHAPTER 51

Aidan had known about S.H.I.E.L.D.'s surveillance for a long time. A month after he had built his first wide-spectrum sensor array for his lab, he had started picking up ghost signals around his home—encrypted, military-grade data streams bouncing off a series of shell corporations owned by a company that doesn't officially exist. Their tradecraft was good, but everything leaves a digital echo. He had simply chosen to play dumb, sticking to his persona and occasionally revealing just enough...

CHAPTER 50

The bio-suit, equipped with its own predictive combat AI, had already anticipated the agent's desperate attack. As the man swung the heavy steering wheel, Aidan's armored hand shot up, catching it with a sharp clang of metal on metal. He didn't even flinch. With his other hand, he delivered a single, precise punch. The force of the blow shattered the passenger-side window and slammed the agent's head against the car's door frame with a sickening crunch. The agent went limp, unconscious. The o...

CHAPTER 49

The Stark Expo grounds were a landscape of wreckage and flashing emergency lights. The air, thick with the smell of ozone and burnt metal, was punctuated by the calm, reassuring voices of Baymax units as they administered first aid to the injured. Amidst the chaos stood three figures in battle armor.

"An isosceles triangle," Aidan observed, looking at the new, glowing reactor in Tony's chest. "You found a new element to replace the palladium. Brilliant."

"Yeah, well, digging throu...

CHAPTER 48

The launch of the Baymax Medical Robot was a cultural reset. In the weeks that followed, the sight of the gentle, white giants became a common and beloved part of New York life. Posters of Baymax adorned skyscrapers, his simple, caring face looking down on the bustling city. In Times Square, massive digital billboards played commercials showing him helping the elderly, playing with children, and calmly de-escalating tense situations. Videos went viral daily: a Baymax unit patiently waiting fo...

Chapter 56 – Who Am I? Dun-dun-dun… I Can’t Fly!

“HELP!!!”

…

Screams. Cries for help. Chaos erupted.

The crowd, which had gathered to watch what they thought would be a spectacle, suddenly turned into a panicked stampede.

The noise made the Kryptonians frown. General Zod tilted his head slightly—and without hesitation, the two soldiers beside him charged into the crowd.

And started killing.

People had believed Superman would arrive in time to stop the carnage.

They were wrong.

T...

Chapter 80: The Whole Family Gathers!

Ethan stood at the door to his own apartment, but it felt like the entrance to another world. He raised a trembling hand and knocked gently. The sound seemed impossibly loud in the sudden silence that followed. From inside, the muffled sound of his mother's crying abruptly stopped.

"Who is it?" a hoarse, broken voice called from within. It was his mother, Sarah, but he barely recognized the sound.

Ethan took a deep, shuddering breath and answered softly, his own voice crack...

Chapter 79: Homecoming

No matter what, the immediate threat was over. The New Veridia branch of the Evolution Cult had been completely wiped out. And the Mad Doctor, in his cold, clinical efficiency, had deleted Ethan's file, believing him to be a failed experiment. In the days to come, Ethan Atherton would be able to be safe, at least for a little while.

He stood amidst the wreckage of the cavern, the dust still settling, the air thick with the smell of ozone and roasted monster flesh. His body ached ...

CHAPTER 47

With the space transporter humming to life on Apex Island, a stable, shimmering vortex of turquoise and violet light connecting his secret sanctuary to the world, Aidan began the first phase of construction. He sent the command.

On the other side of the portal, in the Tandar Laboratory deep in the New York desert, the dormant construction robots whirred to life. One by one, they walked into the swirling energy. In the bright, tropical sun of Apex Island, they emerged, their silver-white...

CHAPTER 46

The banquet hosted by Tony Stark sent shockwaves through the business and political worlds. The public announcement of a strategic partnership between the titan of industry, Stark, and the meteoric new Baymax Medical Technology solidified Aidan Parker's position not just as a boy genius, but as a serious player on the world stage. Delegations from high-level political parties, who had previously dismissed him as a novelty, now began to take a very serious interest.

Aidan, however, paid ...

CHAPTER 45

The first sensation upon returning was one of profound dissonance. In the hibernation chamber, Aidan Parker's mind was a vast repository of knowledge—three years of surviving a corporate-fueled apocalypse, of mastering technologies that bordered on magic, of thinking and acting as a man in his thirties. But the body that awoke was that of a teenager. He felt the temporal whiplash, a dizzying vertigo as three years of lived experience crashed into a body that had only slept for two days. He ...

Chapter 51 – The Kryptonians Arrive, The Curtain Rises

Superman nodded in understanding, but deep down, a creeping fear stirred within him. The gene sample in his hands—this so-called "Ultimate Lifeform"—it worried him. What if studying it meant opening Pandora’s box?

Seeing that fear in his child’s eyes, the holographic AI Jor-El continued reassuringly.

"This genome… it's not like the one I saw in Doomsday. Its evolutionary potential may not reach the same heights, but it does evolve—slowly and stably. That’s wha...

XGO v2 Chapter 15: Fallout and Firewalls

The aftermath of the Stark Expo attack was a chaotic tableau of flashing red and blue lights, the wail of approaching sirens, and the hurried, panicked shouts of first responders. The Japanese garden biodome was a smoldering ruin, a testament to the brutal, localized war that had been fought there. Tony Stark and Colonel Rhodes, their armors battered but functional, stood amidst the wreckage, their minds still trying to process the sacrifice—and impossible survival—of the boy who h...

Chapter 78: All Out!

"Imperial Wind!" A dense, swirling vortex of wind-elemental Aura gathered on the Tiger Deacon's massive body, doubling his speed in an instant. He was a tiger, yes, but an old tiger cannot awaken a wind-element psionic skill. This was a power he had stolen, a psionic skill obtained from absorbing a rare Aura Core long ago.

Ethan, as the colossal Way Big, saw the Tiger Deacon's speed suddenly increase. He was on the verge of escaping the combined pressure of him and the newly arri...

Chapter 77: The Great Battle

"Gigantification!"

A guttural roar ripped from the Tiger Deacon's throat as a torrent of psionic energy erupted from his body. His already formidable tiger-man form began to swell with grotesque speed. Bones elongated with sickening cracks, muscles tore and expanded, and his entire being rapidly grew. This was his trump card, a powerful psionic skill awakened after breaking through to Rank Four, consuming a vast amount of his Aura to dramatically increase his own size. This time,...

CHAPTER 44

Dr. Isaacs looked upon the assembled group with the sneer of a man who held all the cards. "How touching," he began, his voice dripping with condescending amusement. "The three of you, the prodigal daughter, the dying matriarch, and the boy genius, all united by your misplaced sentiment. This changes nothing. I will always be one step ahead of you. The world is being cleansed, and the Umbrella Corporation will be there to inherit the ashes."

He took a step toward Alicia, his eyes cold. ...

Chapter 43

Three years had passed since the fall of Raccoon City. The world was a graveyard. From his secure laboratory, Ward watched the globe die on his satellite monitors. The blue marble he remembered from his own time was now a diseased grey, pockmarked with the angry red of failed quarantine zones. The Red Queen's cold logic now governed Umbrella's global assets, and her primary directive had become a merciless one: cleanse the planet of the human infection. Her primary enforcer, a brainwas...

CHAPTER 76

Ethan let out a low, guttural laugh, the sound chillingly inhuman coming from his new wolf-like form. "What makes you think you can completely transform me with just this cheap little skill of yours?"

The Tiger Deacon sneered, his confidence absolute. "What? Hahahaha! Because our Beastification Potion is a genetic potion, you ignorant child. It rewrites you at the most fundamental level. You've already been completely transformed. Right now, you are thoroughly a monster, a were...

CHAPTER 75 : Awakening

At this moment, time seemed to fracture, stretching into an eternity of agonizing slowness. For Marcus, the world had shrunk to the space of a single breath. The air was cold on his skin, carrying the feral scent of wet fur and pure, unadulterated rage from the creature that was once his friend. The three razor-sharp claws on Ethan's hand, glinting under the dim cavern lights, were less than half an inch from the exposed skin of his neck. They were so close he could feel the chilling a...

CHAPTER 42

Kane, his leg hastily bandaged, obediently led Ward through the secure Umbrella base to a central control room. On the main monitor, two encrypted files were displayed: PROJECT: ALICE and PROJECT: NEMESIS. Ward sat down, his fingers flying across the keyboard. One file contained the genetic blueprint of Alicia Marcus's perfect clone, Alice, and her unique symbiotic bond with the T-Virus. The other detailed the horrific process of turning Matt Addison into the monstrous, prog...

CHAPTER 41

he sight of the heavily armored figure in their midst—his face now revealed as the same young man from the laboratory—sent a fresh wave of shock rippling through the assembled survivors. Dust motes danced in the aftermath of battle, and the acrid smell of gunpowder hung heavy in the air.

Jill Valentine was the first to break the stunned silence, her pistol still held at low ready. "An antidote for this virus," she said, continuing her line of thought as if the firefight had been mer...
