Chapter 69 Misunderstanding

Adam turned around slowly, staring in disbelief at Alfred, who was holding a Glock with a look of equal confusion.

“Grandpa Alfred, did you just shoot me?” Adam asked, incredulously, his voice tinged with both shock and humor.

Alfred, usually composed and amiable, seemed momentarily at a loss. He glanced at the smoking gun in his hand, then at the bullet on the ground—flattened and harmless. The old butler’s face turned from confusion to contemplation, as if ...

Chapter 68: Powerful

Adam Wayne stood in his lab, still in awe of the results of the gamma strengthening potion. The changes to his body were astounding, far exceeding even his most optimistic expectations. It wasn’t just his physical capabilities that had improved—his appearance had undergone a transformation as well.

His formerly lean, malnourished frame was now a masterpiece of human anatomy. Muscles rippled across his body, perfectly proportioned and exuding power. It reminded him of Captain ...

Chapter 67: Taking the Potion

Human body modification was not a venture to be taken lightly. Adam knew the risks better than most. Across the universe, only Captain America seemed to have undergone human modification without significant drawbacks. Others had paid the price, if not with their bodies, then with their minds. Dr. Bruce Banner was a prime example—a victim of his own experiments, left battling schizophrenia.

Adam was determined not to suffer the same fate. Before attempting to enhance hims...

Chapter 66: Gamma Strengthening Potion

Adam never thought his luck could be so good. A simple outing to observe Dr. Banner had somehow led to the system bestowing him with the opportunity of a lifetime—a gamma strengthening potion. As he contemplated his decision, he found himself caught between excitement and anxiety.

The potential this potion held was immense. The system’s assurances of safety were reassuring, but Adam knew better than to trust blindly. Human body modification had always been a dangerous ...

Chapter 65: System Privilege Elevation

Bruce Banner was more defensive than Adam Wayne had anticipated.

His aggressive demeanor and sarcastic tone were impossible to miss, even through Adam’s armor. But given what Banner had just endured, Adam wasn’t surprised. Growing up in the harsh slums of Gotham, Adam understood how trauma shaped people, and Bruce Banner was no exception.

“Dr. Banner,” Adam said patiently, “I know you don’t trust me right now. But believe me, I truly want to help.�...

Chapter 64: Banner in His Youth

The result of the battle was clear from the start.

Though Abomination had gained immense power, he was still a knock-off compared to Hulk. As Banner’s anger fueled his strength, the tide of the battle shifted rapidly. Abomination’s early advantage crumbled under Hulk’s growing ferocity.

Hulk roared, using his massive hands to clap, creating an air shockwave that sent Abomination stumbling. Without missing a beat, Hulk charged forward, delivering a devastating p...

Chapter 63: The Powerful Hulk

The silence that followed any mention of Bruce Banner was heavy.

Adam Wayne and Tony Stark were both lost in thought, though for different reasons. Adam was strategizing—plotting how to intercept and protect Bruce from both the military and potential S.H.I.E.L.D. interference. Tony, on the other hand, was grappling with the revelation of what had become of his old friend, filled with both anger and regret.

Tony broke the silence first.

“Adam, are you...

Chapter 62: Hulk Appears

The past few days had been grueling for Adam Wayne. He had locked himself in the laboratory, determined to weaponize the human rapid-freezing technology he had acquired. But the process was proving far more complicated than he’d anticipated.

Cryonics designed to preserve human life required delicate precision—replacing blood with refrigerated liquid to avoid ice crystals damaging cells. But as a weapon, that delicacy wasn’t necessary. Frozen Man’s genius was in com...

Chapter 62: Hulk Appears

The past few days had been a whirlwind for Adam Wayne. He was holed up in his lab, tirelessly working on the weaponization of human rapid-freezing technology. What had initially seemed like a straightforward project quickly revealed its challenges.

Cryonics for preservation involved carefully replacing blood with refrigeration fluid to prevent ice crystals from forming in cells. As a weapon, this delicate process was unnecessary, but balancing rapid freezing with destructi...

Chapter 61: Post-Arrangements

Adam Wayne stood a safe distance from the frozen epicenter, his breathing steady but his mind racing. Just ten meters ahead lay the edge of the ice field—crystalline and deadly. He shuddered at the thought of what might have happened if he hadn’t retreated in time. The aftermath of Frozen Man’s final act was catastrophic: nearly a hundred of his battle armors and two modified transport vehicles were now entombed in solid ice. The losses were staggering.

“That lunat...

Chapter 60: Die Together

Adam Wayne stood amidst the carnage, his face grim as he stared at the red warning lights flashing on his HUD. His prized Fire Bats—custom-engineered to withstand Frozen Man’s technology—had been destroyed in mere seconds. The sensors on the armor sent back one final reading: a catastrophic drop in temperature that rendered the units inoperable.

He clenched his fists. “Skynet, analyze what happened. I want every detail. Activate the remaining units and push them to...

Chapter 59: Confrontation

Gotham’s Commissioner Gordon, a man with deep ties to the Wayne family, found himself in yet another precarious situation. His longstanding relationship with the Waynes began the night he first encountered young Bruce Wayne, standing frozen in grief in Crime Alley.

It was Gordon’s first major case as a rookie officer, and since then, he’d seen Gotham at its best and worst. Today, though, he found himself caught in an unusual situation, thanks to Adam Wayne.

Chapter 58: Know Yourself and Your Enemy and You Can Fight a Hundred Battles Without Danger

Since Adam Wayne promised Bruce he would deal with Frozen Man, he wasn’t about to waste time. Preparation was key, and Adam was nothing if not thorough.

The first step was to finalize the sub-dimensional energy manipulator. Over the next two days, Adam poured his efforts into completing the device. Finally, he held the finished product in his hands—a sleek, silver-white ring that gleamed faintly under the lab lights.

Slipping it onto his index finger, Adam...

Chapter 57: Cheating Your Son

Adam Wayne watched as Dr. Connors practically sprinted out of the lab, leaving in a flustered state. Adam shook his head, his expression a mix of disbelief and exasperation.

“Grandpa Alfred, am I that scary?” he asked, turning to the ever-composed butler standing nearby.

Alfred chuckled, his tone full of grandfatherly warmth. “Master Adam, you’re not scary. It’s just that you carry an air of authority. It’s the mark of someone destined to lead.”<...

Chapter 56: The Seriously Injured Batman

Gotham is a city perpetually shrouded in gloom. Even during the day, gray clouds often hung heavy, casting a dreary, lifeless atmosphere over the bustling metropolis.

Adam Wayne glanced up at the overcast sky through the windows of his lab, shaking his head. “Typical Gotham,” he muttered before diving back into his work. His research was nearing completion, and the single-dimensional energy manipulator was finally taking shape. He felt a surge of excitement as he worke...

Chapter 55: The Birth of Frozen Man

The core of the sub-dimensional energy manipulation device, in essence, is a space folding device. After completing this critical part, Adam Wayne’s task was mostly done. The remaining work was repetitive: constructing another gravity operation device to complete the set.

After finishing his cup of coffee, Adam returned to his work, fine-tuning the machinery and ensuring precision in every component.

While Adam was immersed in his technological endeavors, an...

Chapter 54: Space Folding Device

All great engineering feats in history start with a solid theoretical foundation. To create a device that manipulates strings—the fundamental building blocks of existence—one must first understand what they are. Strings are linear quantities of energy, capable of vibrating at fixed frequencies. These vibrations give rise to elementary particles and, consequently, the physical universe.

Having mastered the principles of string theory, Adam began the construction of his ...

Chapter 53: Expanded String Theory

Gravity and space are fundamentally intertwined. Gravity itself arises from the curvature of space. The fluid momentum of space creates gradients, which, through potential pressure, generate the force of gravity. Conversely, manipulating gravity can create disturbances in space, opening possibilities for phenomena like folding space or even traversing wormholes.

Adam was deeply engrossed in his research, refining equations and testing hypotheses. His exploration of these p...

Chapter 52: Second Dimension

After settling Dr. Connors into his new role, Adam felt a weight lift from his shoulders. With that major task handled, he could finally return to his scientific pursuits.

The encounter with the mysterious white coat in the desert had provided Adam with invaluable gains: a variant of Extremis and a blueprint for a single-dimensional energy manipulator, cryptically called the “Supreme Lord of the Rings.”

Despite its grandiose name, this wasn’t a ring from...

Chapter 51: Human Experiments

Adam’s favorite people were those immersed in technology and academia. Regardless of where they came from, most intellectuals were inherently naïve in his eyes, and Dr. Connors was no exception. With just a few well-placed words, Adam had managed to convince him to leave Osborn Industries and join Wayne Enterprises.

Connors, ever efficient, didn’t waste time. Norman Osborn, always calculating, had long ceased to fund Connors’ research, finding it of little benefit t...

Chapter 50: Skills That Superiors Must Master

Dr. Connors always prided himself on being a man of gratitude. Though at the beginning, Wayne Enterprises had made an offer too enticing to refuse, his sense of loyalty to Norman Osborn weighed heavily on him. Despite Osborn’s decision to cut off his lab’s funding, Connors felt indebted to the man who had initially believed in his research.

He decided to decline Adam Wayne’s generous offer, but not without expressing his gratitude first.

“Mr. Wayne, I ...

Chapter 49: Character Inspection

There was no doubt in Adam Wayne’s mind that Norman Osborn was a shrewd businessman. From the very beginning of their negotiations, Osborn had tried to trade only the Osborn Group’s existing research for Adam’s breakthrough technology.

Fortunately, Adam had anticipated this move and stayed vigilant. Had he let his guard down, he would have been at a serious disadvantage. Most of the Osborn Group’s biotechnology was subpar compared to what Wayne Enterprises had alre...

Chapter 48: Retrovirus Proliferation

Osborn Industries stood as a juggernaut in the United States. While it often kept a lower profile compared to Stark Industries, its influence was undeniable. Its share of arms contracts with the U.S. military was second only to Stark Industries, a feat that underscored its dominance in the field.

Beyond its ventures in weaponry, Osborn Industries excelled in biotechnology, a field where it held some of the most advanced research capabilities in the world. This was no small...

Chapter 47: The Powerful Extremis

The genetic system is one of the most intricate mechanisms in existence. Understanding it goes far beyond the DNA strands we often hear about. It requires decoding an elaborate interplay of mRNAs, tRNAs, primers, templates, enzymes, transport proteins, molecular chaperones, ribosomal subunits, and more. The fidelity of gene replication relies on a precise balance of these elements, where even the smallest error can disrupt the entire process.

In the case of Extremi...
