Kapitel 42: Limitless (chapter 42)

"However, where should I go? Where should I start?" he asked himself as he started to dissect the implant from the Centipede soldiers. Much to his surprise, there was actually gamma infusion. "Well, this is a surprise, but a welcome one as well," he mused to himself. The technology itself was advanced, but he found a problem. "There's a hole where the serum is distributed, which I can use to my advantage and add my own poison to actually dilute their serum," he liked that idea very much.

Inside his first hideout, which was more secure, with new walls as well as new equipment, generators, secure networks, and his whole second hideout sorted neatly, there was also his entire farm, especially focused on Project Hercules. Henry could now be seen combining two things, a clover leaf that was turned into paste and a horseshoe that was turned into essence. With his mana, which had been activated for a hot minute, Henry was quickly able to combine these materials into a potion. Yes, a potion, made from a 5-leafed clover and a horseshoe. What would the effect be?

That's right, luck potions. He made a luck potion because he wanted to turn the 0.1% chance of getting a tier 6 potion into a 100% or 90% chance. Basically, as long as he could succeed, it would be fine and dandy. So, making a luck potion was the first step. "Eh, I was hoping for a tier 5 luck potion, but okay," he thought to himself, disappointed. But then again, from Terry point of view, everything was less disappointing than henry. "Alright, let's get started," he cracked his knuckles as he turned to rows of luck potions. He then prepared portions of materials. These materials were special, one of them being a small portion of the Extremis virus, and another being a vial of the super soldier serum. Both of these items were divided into many portions. Despite the luck potion, Henry was preparing for failure.
The reason why he was combining these two expensive and limited resources, despite previously promising himself not to use them until he reached a higher potion synthesis skill, was quite simple. Since the attack at his second hideout, Henry finally realized how much he relied on items and potions. Potions were okay, since he was an alchemist and all, but these potions only had limited effects. Plus, they were items that could be broken or lost, so he had to think of something permanent, urgently. He knew that potions that could grant permanent effects were high-level, so he was taxing himself with creating a permanent potion that could enhance his body.
"Alright, wish me luck, Terry," he said, though the damn turtle didn't, hoping Henry would fail in his attempts to grow stronger. And it looked like the gods favored Terry because Henry failed miserably. In fact, he failed so miserably that he went through the portion he prepared for today's experiment. "Fuck," frustrated, Henry couldn't help but curse as the last portion dissipated, leaving him feeling bitter. The chittering of the damn turtle didn't make it better, but a single glare from Henry had the turtle quiet. "What am I missing?" he asked himself as he pondered. "What am I missing, what am I not thinking over?" he repeatedly asked himself before finally an idea popped into his mind.
"That's right, thinking? I need to think better, I need better cognitive powers, better, well, brain powers," with a new path in front of him, Henry immediately went to work on a potion that could increase his brain power. He already had a blueprint for this potion, a quasi blueprint. "Alright, all that I am lacking is Modafinil, and it should be fine." With a quick teleportation, Henry was able to purchase it. Of course, he used his real face. At this point, Henry was more than on S.H.I.E.L.D.'s radar, and he was practically wanted, but since he could teleport, all he had to do was avoid showing them that he could, in fact, teleport. The luck potion was still in effect, so he didn't have any mishaps.
After purchasing the Modafinil, Henry decided to create the potion, which he, of course, succeeded in on his first try, and he got a tier 4 potion. But he didn't stop there. No, he continued until he finally got a tier 5. "At least something went my way for once," he sighed. Henry could have sworn that Terry pursed his lips together, peaking at Henry's success, who was holding the new brain potion.

"Alright, alright, alright, let's see if this can't solve my problem," he chuckled to himself before taking a sip of the potion. As soon as Henry consumed the Limitless Elixir, he felt a rush of energy course through his veins. His senses sharpened to an almost painful clarity. Every sound was magnified, from the hum of his machines to the subtle creaks in the structure of his hideout. Colors became more vibrant, and the intricate details of his surroundings seemed to leap out at him. He could see the minute imperfections in the metal walls, the faint flicker of his monitors, and the delicate dance of dust particles in the air.
His mind raced, thoughts colliding and merging at an unprecedented speed. Ideas formed, evolved, and solidified in seconds. He felt invincible, his intellect towering over any problem that dared to present itself. The sensation was intoxicating, a heady mix of euphoria and empowerment.
Henry walked through his hideout with newfound purpose, each step deliberate and confident. The first stop was his workstation, where his AI, Kai, monitored various systems. "Kai, let's optimize the drone schematics," he commanded. His voice was crisp, brimming with clarity and authority.
{Understood, sir. What parameters shall we prioritize?} Kai responded, its tone respectful and efficient.
"Speed, stealth, and adaptability," Henry replied, already envisioning the modifications. He began to sketch out designs at a frenetic pace, his hands moving faster than ever before. He adjusted the aerodynamics, enhanced the sensory arrays, and integrated advanced cloaking technology. Each improvement was a stroke of genius, a testament to his heightened cognitive abilities.
