Bzz———————
As Derek pushed the blue serum in the syringe, the effects of V1 also began to spread through Derek’s body.
Derek’s charming peach-blossom eyes and his body began to flash with dazzling purple electric light!
Soon, the electricity throughout the Osborn Manor began to become unstable, and all the lights started flickering…
Seeing this scene, Norman couldn’t help but feel a bit nervous and worried.
But he wasn’t worried about his own safety; instead, he was worried about Derek’s safety.
After all, the 100% success rate of a Superhumans who had been injected with V5 then injecting V1 was only something Derek said verbally, and it had not been scientifically verified in any way.
With Derek rashly injecting V1 like this, it would be strange if Norman didn’t worry.
After all, Derek was the sole heir of Oscorp that he favored!
As for Harry, although Harry was his biological son, he also inherited the incurable genetic disease of the Osborn Family.
Moreover, this genetic disease of their Osborn Family broke out faster with each passing generation.
Norman’s own father had the disease break out around the age of sixty, turning into a vegetative state with somatization.
And Norman’s symptoms had already started breaking out when he was not even fifty years old; he estimated that at most in a few more years, he would also follow in his father’s footsteps.
As for Harry, according to Norman’s calculations, if he was lucky, Harry could hold out until the age of forty before it broke out.
If he was unlucky…
Then it might break out at thirty, or even earlier!
As for Harry’s next generation, Norman doubted whether Harry’s next generation could hold out until the generation after that for it to break out…
Therefore, if he handed Oscorp over to Harry, I’m afraid at most two generations after Harry, their Osborn Family would have no descendants left!
This was something Norman absolutely refused to see!
Therefore, although Derek was not Norman’s biological son, he already treated Derek as his own biological son!
Because Derek could at least allow the Osborn Family to continue!
Even if it wasn’t a continuation of bloodline, it could at least keep the Osborn surname going!
Furthermore, over the years, Derek had already proven with practical actions that he was worthy of the Osborn surname and worthy of becoming the helm of Oscorp!
Under Norman’s nervous gaze, the purple electric light on Derek’s body grew brighter and brighter, and finally…
Derek…
exploded!
But what exploded out was not flesh and blood, but plasma!
Derek exploded into a room full of purple plasma!
“No, no, no… Derek!”
Norman widened his eyes, slumped back into his chair, his hands trembling, his heart tightening as he almost lost his breath and passed out!
“Oh~ My old man, are you crying?”
Just when Norman couldn’t accept that his heir had just blown up like that, a familiar voice rang out in the air.
“Derek?!”
“Derek, where are you?!” Norman gave a startled shudder, looking around in all directions, but couldn’t see Derek’s figure.
“Where am I? I am everywhere now~”
Derek’s voice still echoed in the air, and this voice was very dimensional, as if it came from all directions.
Norman wasn’t stupid and immediately guessed something.
Looking at the floating plasma in the air, he said pleasantly: “Derek, has your body turned into the electric current itself?”
“Hey, guessed it so quickly? Then it’s no fun…”
The purple plasma floating in the air of the study began to condense into one place, and finally reassembled into Derek’s body.
Even his clothes were unscientifically and completely reassembled!
Norman quickly stood up from his chair and kept circling around Derek to observe him.
“Incredible, V1 actually allowed you to transform your flesh into a lightning elemental form, and you can also perfectly restore yourself to a normal human state. This is truly incredible and too unscientific!”
“In a World where super-powered individuals fly all over the sky, you’re talking to me about science?” Derek raised an eyebrow: “Old man, have you gone crazy, or have I gone crazy?”
“That’s true…” Norman shrugged, feeling it made sense, and changed the subject to ask: “How are the effects after injecting V1?”
“The increase in physical constitution can also be said to be almost nonexistent, but my control over electric current has increased. However, it’s not manifested in destructive power or intensity, but as you just saw, I gained an ability similar to Elementalization, turning me from electricity-manipulation into the electric current itself!”
Hearing this, Norman touched his chin, thoughtful: “That’s also reasonable. After all, although V1 was born earlier than V5, in terms of efficacy, apart from eternal youth, there isn’t actually much difference. They both randomly stimulate the latent superpowers of the human body.”
“And your ability over these past eighteen years has long been almost fully developed, so it’s no surprise that you didn’t get an enhancement in ability intensity. Being able to obtain the ability of Elementalization already counts as an unexpected pleasant surprise!”
“Yeah, that’s right.” Derek nodded slightly, acknowledging Norman’s conjecture.
After all, in the original work, V1 wasn’t seen strengthening Homelander anywhere significant.
In the end, he was actually stalled in the White House by the cuckold Butcher and that little bastard Ryan, allowing Kimiko to fire a Chest Cannon and blow away Homelander’s superpowers.
Leaving the superpower-less Homelander to have his skull pried open like a dog by Butcher, cosplaying as the President of the America.
During that period, one could say it didn’t even cause any grand scenes!
It’s simply bullsh*t!
From this, it can also be seen that aside from allowing people to gain eternal youth, V1 actually does not possess the efficacy of strengthening superpowers.
Of course, it’s not impossible that V1 had been left for decades, and its efficacy had somewhat degraded.
Or perhaps Derek, just like Homelander, had an awakened ability that was already at the pinnacle strength of Vought compounds, and thus could no longer be strengthened.
In short, V1 had an alternative enhancement for Derek, but it was definitely not as exaggerated as imagined!
“Alright, old man, what I wanted to talk to you about today is just this. As for the matters of V1 and V5, just handle them however you see fit. As the first immortal of the new era, I am now going to find the older generation of immortals to seek some experience!”
After saying that, Derek turned into an electric current once again, drilled into the power outlet of the study, and disappeared.
Leaving only Norman in the study cleaning up V1 and V5 on the table while muttering to himself:
“This brat, what going to seek experience, he’s clearly going to impart experience. I specifically found so many young and pretty maids in the manor for him and he doesn’t like them, why must he specialize in that nearly one-hundred-year-old old woman…”
While Norman was muttering to himself alone, the elementalized Derek had already arrived in another room of the manor.
This was the room of Elizabeth, the private Doctor hired at a high price by the Osborn Manor.
Many people might not be familiar with this name, but she has another name, and that is ‘Private Angel’!
That’s right, she is Private Angel from the original V1 five-member group!
Elizabeth, who was putting on makeup, found the lights of the mirror in front of her suddenly begin to flicker.
Then, before she could react, she was hugged from behind.
The next moment, a handsome face in the mirror pressed against her charmingly alluring face, and a magnetic voice sounded in her ear: “Angel, I need healing~”
