Three days after the Hulk incident, Ailer was conducting some sort of experiment in a house in Queens, New York.
Ailer placed his hand on a prank electric shock chewing gum and began to recall the sensation of the energy from defeating Abomination being drawn to him.
Crackling sounds filled the air as Ailer activated his ability, drawing out a white electric arc that coiled around his fingertips like a small white snake.
"Sure enough, after breaking through human limits, I awakened a superpower related to energy absorption," Ailer thought, seeing the white electric arc reflected in his eyes. With a thought, he intended to absorb the arc into his body.
As Ailer's thoughts changed, the small white snake leaped into his palm, and a tingling sensation spread from his palm.
After the tingling sensation subsided, Ailer clenched his fist, and the expression on his face turned grim.
"There's no improvement. Could it be that my energy absorption superpower can only 'draw' but not 'store'… Or perhaps this superpower hasn't fully awakened yet?"
Subsequently, Ailer increased the power, absorbing the electricity from an entire battery, but after the tingling sensation subsided, his body still showed no changes.
Unconvinced, Ailer then found a lighter and tried to absorb the energy of the flame, but he nearly burned himself.
After several tests, Ailer named this superpower 'Energy Traction.' He could use this superpower to draw most forms of energy, with the known upper limit being Gamma Rays and the lower limit being the electricity from a AA battery.
The ability's upper limit was very high, but its drawbacks were that the absorbed energy could not strengthen Ailer himself, and kinetic energy could not be absorbed; only directly manifested energy could be affected.
In addition, there was a very serious problem: the ultimate target of the drawn energy was always Ailer himself, making it impossible to deflect energy attacks. The maximum degree of deviation was to transfer it to items Ailer wore close to his body.
For example, directly transferring the electricity from a battery to a digital watch.
However, this was not a problem for Ailer, as he had already developed another use: drawing special energy to the buckle to strengthen it, thereby improving Ailer's overall combat power.
Ailer was quite open-minded about this superpower; if developed properly, this ability could elevate his overall strength to another level.
After the battle with Abomination, Ailer also discovered some of his weaknesses, such as struggling when facing a stat-monster like Abomination from American comics.
That battle was mainly due to Ailer catching Abomination off guard, coupled with Iron Man's distraction, Hulk acting as a meat shield, and his own sheer luck, which allowed him to kill Abomination.
There would be many more stat-monsters in the future, and even unreasonable mechanism-monsters.
Thinking of this, Ailer's desire to become stronger stirred once again.
The strength of his enemies would not defeat Ailer; in fact, for Ailer, it was a very effective motivation.
With that thought, Ailer's eyes grew fervent. He took a deep breath and then firmly told himself:
"No matter the circumstances, I will do everything to reach the peak!"
After saying this, Ailer, full of motivation, headed to the Underground Room to train. He started with a one-and-a-half-minute thousand-meter endurance run as a warm-up, followed by several sets of three-hundred-kilogram dumbbells, and various exercises exceeding World records, which Ailer did without hesitation.
Ailer performed such high-intensity training for more than six hours every day, followed by two to three hours of combat skills training.
More than ten hours a day passed like this, with Ailer constantly trying to break his limits.
Time flew by, and the New York sky quickly darkened. Ailer finished his day's training.
After resting for a while, Ailer took a hot shower. After replenishing his body's energy, Ailer sat in front of his computer and started browsing forums.
Today, the hottest topic on the forum was Tony Stark's statement.
Seeing this, Ailer went to a video website and found an interview video from today, primarily featuring Tony Stark and Colonel Rhodes of the U.S. Air Force.
In the interview video, Tony explained the major battle from a few days ago, reading from a script. Ailer could tell that the script was somewhat detached from reality.
Because in this interview, Hulk was portrayed as a superhero, albeit a bit ugly, but Hulk was kind-hearted and immediately took action when he saw villains committing evil.
When Ailer saw this, he was about to drink Water but laughed, "It seems someone is covering things up."
The interview continued, and Ailer heard "a monster created by a terrorist organization," which referred to Abomination.
Throughout the entire interview, no mention was made of any Military forces. When a reporter asked Tony what terrorist organization it was, Colonel Rhodes, standing beside him, answered for Tony.
"It's HYDRA! This organization has not completely abandoned their evil ideals…"
'Pfft'
Upon hearing this, Ailer nearly spat out the Water he had just drunk, a smile spreading across his face.
Ailer didn't know what the scriptwriters and those behind them were thinking, all he could do was give them a thumbs up.
These guys are truly geniuses!
By sheer coincidence, they actually hit the mark, and HYDRA was already tainted and would certainly not come forward to clarify.
"Interesting, truly interesting!" Ailer's eyes narrowed slightly.
The timeline development of this World was becoming increasingly different from the plot Ailer knew. With the U.S. propaganda department inadvertently hitting the nail on the head, HYDRA probably wouldn't proceed with their original plan of a nationwide purge of hidden dissidents and would likely find another way to cause other incidents.
In the interview video, a reporter also asked Tony Stark about another matter.
"Mr. Stark, according to eyewitness reports, is it true that in the incident a few days ago, there was also a superhero wearing mysterious armor with fox features who fought alongside you?"
"Yes, he's a very remarkable fellow," Tony replied.
"Do you know his name?" the reporter asked again.
"He calls himself Kamen Rider Geats, a somewhat strange name."
After saying this, the interview video was almost over, with the rest being the reporter and Tony Stark going back and forth, Ailer had already seen many of the same questions.
Subsequently, Ailer continued to surf the forum, looking for any interesting comments.
"Autobots Transform and Roll Out: Tony Stark's armor is so cool! It would be even cooler if it were red and blue Fire colored."
"Buy A Bed: Silver-gray and black coloring looks better."
"Crimson: This must all be Tony Stark's conspiracy; he must be secretly preparing some shady schemes in the Shadow!"
A comment from a 'Hate Stark Party' caught Ailer's eye, and out of playfulness, Ailer replied to her.
"FoxGod: What are you saying without any proof? Are you perhaps getting agitated?"
"Crimson: !!!"
Just like that, Ailer and this unknown netizen chatted idly until Ailer left to search for traces of Vampires and The Hand.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the Earth, a beautiful girl was fuming. Her silver teeth clenched, and words filled with anger slowly escaped her lips.
"I will absolutely not let this go so easily!"
