Sorry for the delay over the last few days, guys.

Jack looked at White Queen and absentmindedly scratched the side of his head. Instead of immediately arguing with her as usual, he actually took a moment to think about what she had just said. Looking back on the path that had brought him this far, he couldn't help but admit that there was more truth in her words than he wanted to acknowledge.
"When you put it that way..."
"...there really is a possibility."
White Queen immediately raised her chin proudly. A smug smile spread across her face as if she had just won another argument.
"Of course there is."
"More importantly..."
"I know the precise method."
She pointed at herself confidently.
"I know how to control every change in the body."
"I know how every stage of evolution should develop."
"I know how to make the body display its greatest potential."
Her eyes sparkled with confidence. Unlike Jack, who had stumbled through countless dangerous experiments and life-threatening situations, White Queen possessed a calm and analytical mind. She viewed everything from the perspective of research and data rather than instinct and luck.
"To be honest..."
She looked at Jack with a playful smile.
"The way you obtained your current strength was nothing more than a blind cat stumbling upon a dead mouse."
"You've survived countless impossible situations purely because fortune favored you."
"The fact that you're still alive today..."
"...is practically a miracle."
Jack stood there quietly for several seconds before suddenly nodding.
"I'll admit it."
"You're right."
He didn't even bother defending himself.
Thinking back carefully, almost every major increase in his strength had been accompanied by extreme danger. Sometimes he had nearly died. Other times he had completely lost consciousness. There were even occasions when he had no memory whatsoever of what had happened during the transformation.
Looking back now, he realized that every success had been built upon enormous risks.
Perhaps...
Luck really had played a greater role than he wanted to admit.
White Queen folded her arms again.
"But I'm different."
"My situation isn't the same as yours."
"I know exactly how to maximize the potential of a body with identical conditions."
"I know how to develop every ability step by step."
"I don't need luck."
"I only need the correct method."
She confidently clenched her small fist.
"So, you pervert..."
"You'd better enjoy bullying me while you still can."
"Because one day..."
"When I become stronger than you..."
"I'll punch you until you're lying flat on the ground."
She waved her little fist threateningly in front of Jack.
Although her appearance wasn't intimidating in the slightest, she looked completely serious.
Alice couldn't help laughing softly.
Her lips curved into a gentle smile as she looked at Jack.
"Jack..."
"You really should be careful."
"It would be quite embarrassing if White Queen actually surpassed you one day."
Ada nodded slightly.
Although she didn't say anything, she clearly agreed with Alice.
Jack merely shrugged without the slightest concern.
"If that day really comes..."
"I'll only be happy."
White Queen blinked in surprise.
"Eh?"
"Why?"
She looked at him suspiciously.
"Don't tell me..."
"You actually enjoy being bullied."
"Do you have some kind of masochistic tendency?"
Jack immediately shook his head.
"You don't understand."
His expression unexpectedly became serious.
"If one day you really become stronger than me..."
"I won't feel jealous."
"I'll only feel proud."
He slowly looked toward White Queen before turning to Alice and Ada.
"The same goes for the two of you."
"You."
"Alice."
"Ada."
"And every woman who stands beside me."
"I genuinely hope all of you become stronger than I am."
The three women were momentarily stunned.
Even White Queen's teasing smile gradually disappeared.
Ada looked at Jack with obvious disbelief.
"You actually think like that?"
"If you hadn't personally said those words..."
"I would've never believed it."
Alice also looked at him with slight surprise.
She had expected another shameless joke.
Instead, Jack's answer sounded unusually sincere.
For a brief moment, the atmosphere became unexpectedly quiet.
Then...
Jack suddenly burst into loud laughter.
"Hahaha!"
"Hahaha!"
He laughed so hard that he nearly bent over.
The serious atmosphere that had just formed instantly disappeared.
The three women stared at him blankly.
"What are you laughing at?"
Alice asked helplessly.
White Queen frowned.
"Have you suddenly developed schizophrenia?"
Ada sighed.
"Or is your brain finally broken?"
Jack pointed proudly at himself while continuing to laugh.
"If all of you become stronger than me..."
"Then I can comfortably live off all of you!"
"Hahaha!"
His face was filled with complete satisfaction.
The three women instantly froze.
"..."
Not a single one of them knew what to say.
All the sincerity from a moment ago completely vanished.
White Queen looked at him with obvious disdain.
"Are you even a man?"
"A grown man talking about living off women."
"How shameless."
Jack smiled mischievously.
"Do you want to personally confirm whether I'm a man?"
White Queen's face immediately turned slightly red.
She glared fiercely at him.
"Pervert!"
Ada rubbed her forehead helplessly.
"I never expected..."
"The reason you wanted us to become stronger..."
"...was so you could live off us."
"I really do look down on you now."
Jack snorted proudly.
"You don't understand."
He raised one finger as though preparing to lecture everyone.
"Can just anyone live off someone else?"
"No."
"Living off others is a skill."
"It requires ability."
"It requires talent."
"It isn't something ordinary people are qualified to do."
White Queen blinked.
After thinking for several seconds, she unexpectedly nodded.
"Strangely enough..."
"That actually sounds reasonable."
Alice couldn't help laughing.
Even Ada's expression softened into a faint smile.
Jack proudly placed both hands on his waist.
"Of course I'm right."
"Living off others isn't something shameful."
"It's an extraordinary achievement."
He suddenly sighed dramatically.
"Unfortunately..."
"The road ahead is still very long."
"At your current level..."
"None of you can surpass me."
His expression became one of exaggerated disappointment, making it look as though he genuinely regretted the situation.
White Queen curled her lips.
"So..."
"If I don't surpass you..."
"Then you won't get the chance to live off me."
"It sounds like I'd be the one suffering the loss."
Jack quickly waved both hands.
"No, no."
"People should always keep improving."
"You should never stop becoming stronger."
"What I said earlier was only a joke."
He immediately clenched his fist with a righteous expression.
"Do you really think Father would be interested in living off women?"
"Impossible."
"Father has principles."
The three women simply looked at him in silence.
Not one of them believed a single word.
Alice smiled helplessly.
"Can you be serious for even one minute?"
Jack raised an eyebrow.
"Do I really need to act serious in front of you three?"
Suddenly, as if remembering something important, he lightly slapped his forehead.
"Oh, right."
"White Queen."
"I almost forgot."
"I brought back a sample of that green fatty's flesh."
As he spoke, he took out a specially sealed container from his storage space.
Inside lay a small piece of emerald-green flesh.
Although it was only a tiny sample, it continuously emitted astonishing vitality. Even through the transparent container, everyone could clearly feel the powerful life force hidden within it, as though the cells were still alive and endlessly regenerating.
White Queen's eyes immediately lit up.
Her playful expression disappeared, replaced by the excitement of a researcher who had just received a priceless specimen. She carefully accepted the sealed container with both hands, studying the small piece of emerald-green flesh through the transparent surface. Even after being separated from its original body, the cells still pulsed with astonishing vitality, as if they refused to die.
"I'll study it carefully."
"I'm sure I can uncover its secrets."
She gently turned the container in her hands, her mind already racing through countless possibilities. Every instinct told her that the sample held tremendous research value.
Jack nodded with satisfaction.
"If you really solve its mystery..."
"That'll be a wonderful thing."
"When the time comes..."
"We can apply the results to ourselves."
He spoke casually, but there was genuine anticipation in his eyes. If White Queen truly managed to unlock the secret hidden within the green flesh, their overall strength could improve dramatically.
White Queen confidently nodded.
"Leave everything to me."
"I won't disappoint you."
Alice, who had quietly watched the exchange, suddenly remembered a question that had been bothering her for quite some time.
"White Queen."
She looked curiously toward her.
"Jack's Transforming T Human Form..."
"How much stronger is it than his ordinary human form?"
"I always estimated it to be around twenty times."
White Queen smiled mysteriously.
"I monitored every stage of his transformation."
"I also recorded every piece of combat data."
"So..."
"My calculations are far more accurate than simple guesses."
She paused deliberately before continuing.
"And I can tell you one thing for certain."
"It isn't twenty times."
Ada immediately nodded.
"I knew it."
"There was no way it could actually be twenty times."
"I think ten times is already incredibly exaggerated."
White Queen slowly shook her head.
"No."
"You're wrong."
Ada blinked.
"So..."
"It's even less than ten?"
"It looks like I overestimated him."
White Queen couldn't help laughing.
"No."
"You underestimated him."
She looked directly at Jack before calmly announcing the result.
"Transforming T Human Form..."
"...is thirty times stronger than his ordinary human form."
"It isn't twenty."
"It isn't ten."
"It's a full thirty times."
Silence filled the air.
Ada's expression instantly stiffened.
"Thirty times?"
"White Queen..."
"Are you absolutely sure?"
White Queen nodded without hesitation.
"I didn't make any mistakes."
"I checked the calculations repeatedly."
"The result never changed."
"Transforming T Human Form is indeed thirty times stronger than Jack's ordinary human body."
"That's why the transformation is so terrifying."
Even Jack himself looked slightly surprised.
He rubbed his chin thoughtfully.
"So even my own estimate was wrong."
"I thought twenty times was already a conservative estimate."
"I never imagined it would actually be thirty."
White Queen folded her arms proudly.
"Don't get carried away."
"I've also calculated the maintenance time of every one of your transformation forms."
Jack looked at her with interest.
"Oh?"
"Go on."
White Queen smiled.
"You already know that your Transforming T Human Form can only be maintained for about twenty-five minutes."
"But after entering your Transformers Glimmering Forms..."
"Do you know how long each form can actually last?"
Jack lazily replied with only a single word.
"Tell."
White Queen rolled her eyes.
"Your attitude is really irritating."
"But I'll let it pass this time."
She looked at everyone before calmly listing the results.
"According to my calculations..."
"Transformers Glimmering First Form can be maintained for twenty-two minutes."
Ada nodded thoughtfully.
"That's not much different."
White Queen agreed.
"Exactly."
"The First Form doesn't consume much additional energy."
"So the difference isn't very noticeable."
She continued,
"The Second Form can be maintained for eighteen minutes."
"The Third Form..."
"...only lasts nine minutes."
"And the Fourth Form..."
She held up three fingers.
"Only three minutes."
Alice and Ada instinctively frowned.
Although the explosive increase in strength was impressive, the time limit was clearly a serious weakness.
Jack simply shrugged.
"Three minutes is already enough."
"Who could possibly force me to fight for that long?"
His expression remained completely unconcerned.
Alice immediately shook her head.
"You shouldn't underestimate the world."
"There are plenty of experts."
White Queen also stared at him seriously.
"She's right."
"These durations are far too short."
"A truly powerful opponent won't necessarily be defeated within three minutes."
"What will you do if your transformation ends in the middle of battle?"
This time, Jack didn't argue.
He remained silent for several moments before honestly nodding.
"You're right."
"I admit my mistake."
Alice and Ada exchanged surprised glances.
It wasn't often that Jack admitted someone else was right so readily.
White Queen sighed softly.
"Actually..."
"I can't blame you."
"I promised I'd help solve this weakness."
"But after so much research..."
"I still haven't made any real progress."
A trace of disappointment appeared on her face.
Although she always acted confident, she genuinely blamed herself for not being able to overcome the limitation of Jack's transformations.
Jack smiled gently.
"Don't worry."
"You can't become fat with a single bite."
"We'll solve it sooner or later."
"There's no need to rush."
White Queen looked slightly relieved after hearing his encouragement.
However, before the warm atmosphere could continue for long, Jack's familiar mischievous smile slowly returned.
"Although..."
"If you really feel guilty..."
"And you want to compensate me..."
"I certainly wouldn't refuse."
White Queen immediately narrowed her eyes.
"I knew it."
"I knew you couldn't possibly have good intentions."
She turned her face away with a proud snort.
"I have absolutely no plans to compensate you."
"You can give up."
Jack sighed dramatically.
"What a pity."
"I thought you'd let me spank your butt again."
"It would've been a nice way to satisfy my addiction."
The moment those shameless words left his mouth, White Queen's face instantly turned bright red.
She tightly clenched both fists.
The veins on her forehead twitched slightly as she glared at Jack with murderous intent.
"You..."
Her voice trembled with anger.
"Go to hell!"
Alice could no longer suppress her laughter.
Ada also covered her mouth as she chuckled helplessly.
The peaceful atmosphere that had briefly become serious completely collapsed once again because of Jack's shameless personality.
Watching White Queen chase after Jack while he laughed and dodged with an innocent expression, the two women could only shake their heads.
No matter how serious the discussion became...
Jack always had a way of turning everything into complete chaos.
The evening breeze gently swept across the sky as the four figures gradually disappeared into the distance, their laughter and bickering echoing through the quiet mountains. Although none of them realized it yet, the conversations they had shared today—and the research White Queen was about to begin—would eventually become another important turning point in the adventures that awaited them in the Marvel world.
