บท 5: The limits of being human

The rest of the day went by as usual, with observing the renovation and conversing with Harleen Frances, who was very keen on inquiring about my adult form.

I wanted to stay at a hotel nearby for the night, but Harleen Frances insisted that I stay over at her place….

So here I am, at Harleen Frances's place. A three-bedroom apartment with lots of scented candles. I most definitely did not agree to stay over because I thought she was cute.

"You live alone?" I asked while looking at a painting, surrounded by scented candles.

"The place belonged to my old man, but he croaked a few years ago and…now I'm here. Sorry about the candles, I didn't want to throw them away. It'd be a waste after all."

"…Okay. Goodnight."

"Wait where are you going?" She asked me as if she was not expecting that.

"To sleep?"

"No but…don't you wanna.." She said before looking away….What is she up to?

[I believe she wants to do it with you]

I'm 14!

[I'm looking at the files, and it seems that she has shown symptoms of hyper sexuality in the past. It is suspected to be a disease]

Wow...

{1 week later}

I was greeted with the sight of a milf rolled up in sheets. The sun's rays hit her cheeks and created an enticing sight, but I held it in and got up.

'This is annoying'

[Anything wrong, sir?]

'No, it's just not as great as I expected it to be'

[Perhaps it was due to a lack of affection]

'Well it's a good thing I won't be seeing her anymore' I thought after getting inside the van and driving off, leaving the blond haired girl in her own…..misery?

Can it even be called misery? I'm pretty sure she enjoyed it, and she'll hopefully find someone else.

Shaking off the unnecessary thoughts, I parked the minivan and opened the doors to my new base. Clean rooms, functioning pipes and generators. I had even installed cameras all over the place to keep surveillance.

"Let's get to work shall we?"

[Certainly]

The two of us set off to work on the Goblin Serum we acquired from Norman Osborn. I was appalled at the complexity of the formula, but also by the ingenuity of it. According to logs from Dr. Abraham Erskine, the super serum was designed to boost everything in the human body.

Muscle and Bone density, Brain activity to enhance reflexes and even thought acceleration to a certain extent, similar to how Veritas increases my brain activity.

In Layman's Terms, it is essentially compressing a bigger human into a smaller size.

Dr. Norman Osborn tried to replicate it's effects but through a different method. He didn't envision the Goblin serum to increase a parson's metabolism, but to make it more efficient.

"The human body is capable of astounding feats."

If someone managed to utilize 100% of their body and brain…well A lot of your body would die, and not recover, possibly even becoming a fatal outcome.

However, the question that is the quandary to the problem, is:

How do you know your limit if getting there is detrimental?

The Brain will not command the body to use such measures unless, the outcome was worth the sacrifice. Such as a Mother trying to save her child from a dangerous situation.

Norman wanted to remove this limiter the same way as Erskine but in a better way.

The effort however, was graced with failure. At first glance, the formula seems complete, but it does not account for the change in brain tissue.

[It affects the-

"Nope. I'm doing this myself." I stopped veritas before he could once again breeze through everything he does.

[Sir, I do not cognize the need to not utilize me. You could've already made a better serum with my aid]

"Yes but, I just want to do something myself. I don't want to be lazy, let's work as a team."

[Confirmed]

"Don't take this as an order Veritas. It's a suggestion. And if the need arises, I won't hesitate to ask for your help"

[…Thank you]

Ending the talk on that note, we started working on the serum. And even with my Advanced level biology, it was hard to get a good grasp on the formula. The complications were so diverse that It would've taken a company like Oscorp to use supercomputers, just to process the petabytes of data.

Kukuku…how lucky I am to have a better one.

The next few hours went by with me making meager progress with the serum.

After that I got bored of it and decided to work on weapons. The files I copied from Oscorp was enough to make a few dozen small grenades. The glider however, proved to be a challenge as I didn't have the materials for it. Trying to be them from any channel will alert the people monitoring the transactions.

So I guess there's only one thing I can do…

"Let's farm it"

[Liquid Hydrogen and Oxygen sir?]

"Yes. I'll make it myself!"

[We do not have the materials to make it]

"Then we'll make those materials too!"

[This would take a very long time sir]

"We've got not other choice"

[Why not converge the two spatial points using the energy you have]

"…You mean to replicate the tesseract?"

[Yes]

"How does that help. I mean, we can use our tech to create a very unstable teleportation gate, but not only is it dangerous, it's also useless. What am I going to do after teleporting to a resourceful place? Mine the materials out? That'll take the same time, if not more!"

[Based on the fact that we are both from different worlds, it would be right to assume the multiverse being real. If we set up a gate using a completely unused frequency, it would cause the gate to take us to a place not inside our universe. Hence another world….and we might be able to gain more strength]

"Hold on…..that is still dangerous and also more time consuming. We could end up in the middle of nowhere and die."

[We could send drones before going in]

'Right. That's also possible. But I'm feeling like I'm taking huge leaps instead of small steps…..Then again, I am from a different world, that's the biggest leap anyone can think of.'
