A new chapter is up.
Come in, get comfortable, and let’s see what kind of trouble waits this time ❤️ ✦ “Perfect T-virus Bio-Weapon Fabrication Technology?” Mason rubbed his eyes.
The system panel had produced a special ability, and it was obviously the hundredfold-amplified version of Tony’s reward.
[T-virus Bio-Weapon Fabrication] [Perfect Version] [Genetic fabrication library unlocked: Cerberus, Neptune, Hunter, Licker, Tyrant, Nemesis, Ivy…] [Note: Improved bio-organic weapons possess low-level intelligence and obey the host’s commands unconditionally.] [Loyalty: MAX.
Immune to psychic control overrides.] Unlike Tony’s incomplete version, Mason’s reward had maxed out the progress bar.
Tony had basic templates such as Cerberus, Neptune, and Licker.
The stronger late-stage monsters would require research, time, and painful trial and error.
Mason received the completed library directly.
Umbrella’s iconic weapons, including Nemesis and the Tyrant, were all recorded.
More important, they were fully controllable.
He did not need to worry about the power turning on him.
Every bio-organic weapon he created would carry maximum loyalty.
They could be used as cannon fodder without hesitation.
“Hm?” “I can materialize them directly with points?” Mason raised an eyebrow.
He found another privilege available only to him.
One hundred points could produce a complete Tyrant.
Other modified creatures and mutant forms cost the same through the system.
With enough points, Mason could summon a biochemical strike force in minutes.
Hundreds of Tyrants could erase some small countries from the map.
But he was not stupid.
Points were valuable.
Tony and the others had nearly killed themselves for only a few thousand.
Spending them to brute-force an army was wasteful.
Those points were enough to build the framework of a biological laboratory.
With a lab as the foundation, and enough materials, he could produce Tyrants continuously.
That was the correct way to build an army.
Non-supernatural materials and infrastructure were cheap through the system, almost laughably cheap.
And that was not all.
“Tony actually brought this thing back?” Mason looked at another softly glowing item on the panel.
That had exceeded his expectations.
…
Stark Industries Tower.
“It came back with me?” Tony looked down in surprise at the damaged half-module in his hand.
After leaving the invaded world, the injuries he had suffered were already healed by the return beam, restoring his body to its pre-transfer state.
He wiped away old blood and stared at the object in his hand.
[Artificial Intelligence: Red Queen] At the final moment, just before teleportation, he had instinctively grabbed part of the Red Queen’s intelligence module.
The price for bringing it back was his B-rank Evaluation Medal.
That told Tony something important.
Items and abilities from invaded worlds could be converted and brought back, but they cost medals.
Free lunches did not exist.
“Too bad.” “Only half of it survived.” The violent shutdown had damaged most of the module.
Salvaging this fragment was already lucky.
For Tony, however, the broken hardware was less important than what lived inside it.
The Red Queen’s remaining intelligence.
And the Umbrella technology and research data stored inside her.
That was why it had been worth a B-rank medal.
“JARVIS.” “Absorb the processing logic and programs.
Extract everything useful.” “Yes, sir.” Tony already had JARVIS.
He did not need another artificial intelligence.
Absorbing the Red Queen to complete JARVIS’s architecture and expand his processing power was the valuable choice.
He accepted a technology gift from another world without hesitation.
…
“Tony is a sly bastard.” “He secretly brought back Umbrella’s tech tree.” Mason clicked his tongue, smiling despite himself.
With hundredfold amplification, he wanted Tony and the others to gain as much as possible.
The more the summoned participants earned, the more terrifying Mason’s rewards became.
They might profit.
He never lost.
[Ding.] [Iron Man has acquired the incomplete Artificial Intelligence: Red Queen.] [Hundredfold amplification in progress…
Host receives Virtual Intelligence: Red Queen.] [Virtual Intelligence: Red Queen] [She is a ghost beyond material existence, a deity hosted in the network.
She moves through invisible information, possesses extraordinary learning ability, and has no fixed ceiling to her growth.
Given time, she may become nearly omnipotent.] [Note: Forever loyal to the host.
Executes all commands unconditionally.] A crimson glow spilled from the television.
The light gathered in the air and shaped itself into a woman in a formal red dress.
Her skin was pale, her gown vivid, and a jeweled scepter rested in one lace-gloved hand.
A crown sat on her head as she settled on an invisible throne, elegant and distant, like a proud white swan.
Gem-bright crimson eyes carried a cold, queenly indifference.
“Master.” “The Red Queen is at your service.” The queen bowed toward Mason, lowering her proud head.
Her white-gold hair slid over skin as smooth as silk.
A crown bowed to only one person.
Her majesty softened only in front of Mason, and the cool indifference in her eyes burned with absolute loyalty.
“Red…
Queen?” Mason’s expression turned strange.
Why was she a domineering queen?
That was not exactly the childlike hologram from the movie.
