Chapter 94

Tony's Improved Version

"Damn, that was pretty intense." After the injection, Tony stood up from the lab table, clutching his back.

"Now we need to observe the effects after the injection. It is expected to take about a month to fully take effect," the leader explained from the side.

Tony paid no attention to a word the boss said, because the Overlord Core in his mind had changed simultaneously from the moment the injection began.

The core of the dominion began to glow like a star, and a red halo spread out in concentric circles. Tony's thoughts touched the red halo.

A flood of information rushed into Tony's mind, and he instantly understood what the Overmind Core was doing—receiving, understanding the Super Soldier Serum, and completing the body modification.

Soon after the injection was completed, the blush stopped spreading and became liquid-like, starting to spread all over the body.

The torrent caused changes at every level—from genes and cells to muscles—accelerating the process of the super soldier serum's transformation, which was originally expected to take a month, and completing genetic evolution in a short period of time.

But that wasn't the end of it. Tony discovered that the Overmind had unlocked a new function: it could split and produce genes. However, Tony didn't have a Zerg body and therefore lacked reproductive capabilities. The result of the splitting was that his blood would temporarily contain only a single variant gene.

If we draw blood now, Tony can determine whether the blood contains only the modified T-virus gene or the super soldier serum gene.

If Tony had reproductive capabilities, he would be able to produce the corresponding Zerg soldiers as needed.

For Tony, this function meant that he could categorize the modified genes and give them to Umbrella for research.

After confirming that the Overmind Core had fully absorbed the Super Soldier Serum, Tony immediately ordered Big Boss to begin injecting the Hulk Serum.

"Come on, let's hurry and inject the Hulk serum too."

The leader quickly advised, "The Super Soldier Serum hasn't fully taken effect yet. If you inject the Hulk Serum now, your body won't be able to handle it."

Tony didn't bother explaining to the boss. He reached out and put the green Hulk serum from the table next to him into a syringe, and Jarvis immediately began the injection.

Seeing this, the leader could do nothing to stop them and could only silently take a few steps back, preparing to run away if things went wrong.

I just don't know if I'll still be able to work if the company boss dies. The lab building isn't even finished yet, and I haven't done a single project. I should have known better than to resign from Greyburn College so soon.

With the injection of the Hulk serum, the Overlord Core began to operate again, but compared to the Super Soldier serum, the Hulk serum reacted much more violently. The red halo rolled back and forth like waves, and as the green liquid was injected, the red halo slowly turned green and then swept across the whole body.

As the green waves surged through his body, excruciating pain shot through his muscles and bones as if they were being torn apart. It was even more ferocious than the transformation from the Super Soldier Serum. If the pain before was a muscle cramp, now it felt as if tens of thousands of ants were not biting him, but tearing at his muscles and skin, both inside and out, all at the same time.

Accompanied by immense pain, Tony began to develop rapidly, or rather, he swelled up like a balloon, quickly surpassing two meters, two and a half meters in height, and finally stabilizing at over three meters. His width also increased accordingly, like a bodybuilder on drugs, with bulging muscles full of power, except that his skin turned blood red.

Most importantly, Tony's clothes weren't Banner's underwear; as his size increased, they completely ripped, but his male characteristics became even more pronounced.

"This power is really exhilarating." As the transformation was complete, the feeling of being torn apart by thousands of ants disappeared. Tony felt full of power and wanted to smash something. The only uncomfortable thing was being too naked in front of a strange man.

"Jarvis, order me a pair of underwear that's stretchy enough. I can find out what brand Banner wears."

The big boss was also stunned by Tony's new look. After all, he was three meters tall, and that thing was almost at eye level with the big boss, so he couldn't help but look at it.

However, the boss, being of sound mind, quickly shifted his attention to the experiment's effects and asked with concern, "Boss, are you feeling unwell? If it's convenient, shall we do a check-up now to see the injection's effectiveness?"

Tony felt the surge of power in his body and sensed the Overlord core in his mind. Receiving feedback that everything was normal and the Hulk genes had been received, he was immediately relieved. Without even bothering to conduct any tests, he rejected the boss's suggestion and gave the following instructions:

"Put the experiment on hold for now. Send the experimental data to Jarvis, and send any extra serum to my private lab. I'll give you a new, improved serum in a few days."

After successfully enhancing the serum, the next step is to create a serum containing only one's own genes and destroy all other versions of the serum to ensure that only the serum containing one's own gene template exists.

After feeling the power emanating from his body for a while, Tony focused his mind on the Overlord Core. The Overlord Core was activated again, and his body began to shrink gradually, quickly returning to its normal size from three meters tall.

With the Overlord Core Adjustment Gene, Tony doesn't need to wait for his mind to calm down to recover like the Hulk. He can return to normal at any time. However, like Banner, he doesn't have the Hulk's power in his normal state. But Tony also has the T-virus gene as a foundation, so he is strong enough in his normal state.

So, after being enhanced by the Hulk serum and the Super Soldier serum, Tony gained a transformation ability, which can be considered a common skill for bosses, allowing him to transform in the second stage.

After returning to normal, Tony had the big boss find him a white lab coat to put on, then left the lab and returned to his office in the Umbrella headquarters, which was also his private lab.

Not long after, all the serums were delivered under the escort of the action team. Although the big boss was somewhat puzzled by Tony's orders and did not quite believe that Tony could improve the Hulk serum, after all, the gamma ray energy was so high that it put the entire serum in a dangerous balance. Any slight change would lead to a chain reaction, ultimately causing the serum to self-destruct or become a radioactive source.

However, under the influence of Tony's genes, it still tended to follow Tony's instructions, obediently passing on all the data to Jarvis and sending all the remaining serum to Tony's office.

When Wesker was setting up Tony's office, he took Tony's background into full consideration. Tony was a genius scientist, and Wesker had acquired a lot of scientific instruments. As a biotechnology company, Wesker also had a lot of biological experimental equipment. Wesker was just afraid that Tony might want to use it one day, but it wouldn't be available.

But these are just empty promises; Tony has never used them and is unlikely to use them in the future.

However, it did serve its purpose today, at least giving Tony a chance to put on an act.

The serum was destroyed by Tony shortly after it arrived. Research? Research my ass. He'll never be able to do research in his life; he can only maintain his genius persona by using cheat codes.

Then Tony activated the Overlord Core's new ability to purify his blood, giving himself two vials of blood: one containing Tony's genetically modified Super Soldier Serum, and the other containing Tony's version of Hulk Serum.

However, there was no rush to send it to the big boss. After all, even cheating has its basic rules. You can't just inject yourself an hour ago, develop a new version, and then inject yourself again. You can only provide a blood sample for others to study.
