"Open the doors." Aaron scanned the surroundings and commanded.
Hearing this, the Symbiote Squad unanimously looked toward Lava.
Seeing this, Lava cursed inwardly at the others for their lack of loyalty, but fearing that Aaron would have to wait, he could only brace himself and walk forward, slamming his hands heavily onto the cage.
With at least ten tons of force, combined with high-temperature flames, he smashed the door open.
Lava repeated the trick, smashing open the other cage.
Both Jason (The Great Illusionist) and Moonbeam (Dead Girl) remained very calm and docile.
When Aaron approached, Moonbeam suddenly erupted.
Long, slender claws sprang from her fingertips, and her body quickly wrapped around Aaron, placing the claws across his neck.
"Everyone stop right there, let me out immediately!"
Her gaze swept over the many strange-looking Symbiotes. Although she didn't know what these humanoid creatures were, she knew that the armored man was their leader. To leave, she had to control him.
The Symbiotes looked at her with strange expressions.
"Is she an idiot?" Eddie asked.
Venom nodded in agreement. "Eating an idiot won't make us idiots, right?"
"I heard that eating what you lack makes you deficient, so eating an idiot makes you an idiot?"
"Eww..."
The many Symbiotes simultaneously spat out in disgust.
They certainly didn't want to become idiot Symbiotes.
Aaron lowered his head, looking at the slender claws with a strange expression. "Don't you know I'm wearing armor?"
Moonbeam frowned. "My claws are adamantium, they can slice through steel."
"Don't speak, or I'll kill you."
She hugged Aaron from behind, finding the hard material painfully uncomfortable.
Aaron shook his head. He suddenly reached out and grabbed Moonbeam's claws. Ignoring the sharp blades, he pried her claws open with slight force, much to her surprise.
"Your armor..."
"I'm sorry, my armor is harder than your claws."
Saying this, Aaron opened his right hand, placed it on Moonbeam's wrist, and immediately absorbed a part of her.
[Iron Body: Detected similar ability. Fusion complete. Your physical defense has slightly improved.]
[Claws: Your finger bones can freely extend into sharp claws, and can also freely transform into tougher metal claws.]
Oh, wow, so it really was true adamantium.
Aaron was slightly surprised, he hadn't expected any gain.
Carefully sensing the strength of his cells, he noticed that the improvement was very slight, but better than nothing.
Moonbeam was still struggling, but how could she resist Aaron's power?
"Settle down!"
With a cold shout from Aaron, Moonbeam's mental world was struck by lightning, and she instantly calmed down.
Aaron then probed her mind and discovered that William had not injected her with hallucinogens recently.
Normally, William would inject Moonbeam with hallucinogens, making her view William as her father, while she served as an assistant and enforcer, helping him continue his experiments.
Once she broke free from the illusion, William would no longer trust Moonbeam, as no one liked being controlled by an illusion forever.
Aaron nodded secretly.
No wonder Moonbeam still possessed some self-awareness.
Releasing her, Aaron walked toward Jason.
The latter's eyes moved with Aaron's changing silhouette. His mouth was slightly open, seemingly wanting to say something.
The next moment.
Aaron arrived at the Osborn Industries skyscraper.
At the same time, a force attempted to tamper with his perception, making him mistakenly believe that this world was real.
Meanwhile, outside, Moonbeam was also trapped in an illusion, mistaking Jason for her father, who was also the former director of the Weapon X research.
Her claws popped out from her hands again, and she walked toward the other Symbiotes.
However, what puzzled Jason was, those Symbiotes were not affected by his illusion.
Wait, since when could his ability affect multiple targets?
Jason's eyes darted, looking at Aaron. He found that the other party was smiling at him.
He is actually immune to my ability!
Moonbeam turned her head and went toward Aaron.
However, Aaron flicked his finger, and an invisible air cannon blasted Moonbeam's abdomen, sending her flying over ten meters away.
A huge gash appeared on her abdomen, yet Moonbeam still struggled to stand up.
"Using a mental illusion on me, do you think you are worthy?" Aaron sneered.
The abilities of the Symbiote naturally include immunity to telepathy. Furthermore, he possesses the Phoenix Force and other abilities, making his mental power extremely powerful.
How could his consciousness be controlled by Jason?
"Still not being obedient, even now. Your father must have told you that naughty children will be punished, so go down and join your father."
Jason instantly grew anxious, wanting to say something, but having had many brain organs removed by William, even speaking was a luxury for him.
"Don't rush, you don't need to thank me for reuniting your family."
'Melt down all of Jason's life and abilities.'
The Primordial Furnace is not just a concept extractor, it is also a powerful means of attack.
With his brain nerves destroyed, Jason, for whom even walking was a luxury, had nowhere to escape. In just the blink of an eye, his abilities and life were completely melted down by the Primordial Furnace.
Aaron blew a breath, and Jason vanished without a trace, like dust.
[Illusion Manipulation: When you approach a target at close range, you can create an extremely realistic illusion within the single target's brain, so much so that even ordinary psychic ability users cannot distinguish reality from falsehood.]
Not bad, although it is not very useful, it is acceptable.
Aaron had not held much hope to begin with. Now it was more for the sake of collecting.
The following is the true purpose of this trip.
Aaron looked at the cold storage vault, which contained Mutant genes collected by William over decades.
As the main person in charge of Weapon X, William could be said to be one of the true arch-enemies of Mutants.
Any Mutant who served him, or was captured or killed by him, would have their tissues collected and stored.
But now, Aaron accepted all his hard-earned accumulation.
[Potential Energy-Kinetic Energy Conversion: You can inject energy into other objects or life forms, turning them into explosive devices (The larger the object, the more energy stored, and the greater the explosive power).]
[Energy Enhancement: A similar ability has been detected (Asgard's King). Fusion completed. You can inject your own energy or Asgardian energy into others or yourself to stimulate physical potential, permanently or temporarily strengthen the physique, and allow attacks to carry kinetic energy.]
[Puppet Manipulation: You can easily control people or objects injected with kinetic potential energy by you, making them act according to your thoughts (limited to physically existing bodies).]
[Acidic Enzyme Conversion: You can convert your own energy into special acidic enzymes, which can effectively suppress regenerative ability and cause sustained damage to enemies.]
[Bone Claws: A similar ability has been detected. Fusion completed. Your hand bones can freely pop out bone claws or powerful mixed metal claws, possessing the mighty strength to sever adamantium.]
[Flesh Bullet Rebound: Your physical body possesses powerful elasticity, capable of deflecting most attacks back with slightly reduced force.]
"Oh, isn't this basically a Paw-Paw Fruit?" Aaron was quite surprised by this haul.
He did not expect that William still had quite a few good things here.
After a moment's thought, he realized that these abilities must belong to the original Weapon X members: Gambit, Agent Zero, Wolverine, and Blob.
The abilities of the other Mutants were deemed invalid data, recorded by the Primordial Furnace, and there was no need for integration at all.
