14 Telekinesis
There was a sonic boom as Optimus ascended into the sky, effortlessly soaring thousands of meters in mere moments.
"Commence function testing," Christopher commanded.
"Function testing is being activated," Optimus acknowledged.
In the air, the Optimus executed intricate maneuvers with grace, his colossal frames displaying surprising agility.
"Initiate transformation testing," Christopher ordered.
"Transformation testing Initiated," Optimus responded dutifully.
With precision, the Optimus descended to the island and seamlessly morphed.
He gracefully shifted into a sleek aircraft, its form cutting through the sky with precision. Then, with a powerful transformation, he morphed into a robust truck, ready to tackle any rugged terrain ahead.
Next, he assumed the form of a colossal earth-drilling machine, ready to delve deep into the ground. Seamlessly, he transitioned into a submarine, capable of exploring the depths of the ocean with ease.
Finally, with a subtle hum, he reverted to his robot form, each movement exuding power and purpose.
"All transformation functions are operational," Optimus reported.
"Excellent. Let's proceed to underwater weapon testing," Christopher directed.
Aware of the immense destructive potential he wielded, Christopher opted for underwater trials to minimize surface disturbances that might attract unwanted attention.
"As you command, my Liege," Optimus acknowledged, positioning himself for a dive. With a swift motion, he plunged into the depths, transforming into a submarine just before submersion.
A thunderous crash echoed as the submarine burrowed into the ocean floor.
Ten minutes later, Christopher reached a deep-sea location and initiated weapon testing.
Optimus resurfaced, reverting to his humanoid form.
"Activate the railgun," Christopher commanded.
A railgun protruded from the Optimus's shoulder.
"Fire," Christopher ordered.
The railgun unleashed a barrage of bullets, creating trails of bubbles in the seawater.
"Activate the missile launcher," Christopher instructed.
A missile launcher emerged from the Optimus's forearm.
"Aim at the slope in front and launch," commanded Christopher.
The missile launcher, with a hiss, propelled a mini-missile into the air.
The powerful explosion obliterated the slope, sending seawater surging due to the immense force, pushing the Optimus more than ten meters away.
Christopher proceeded to experiment with an array of other weapons:
Anti-personnel missiles.
Gatling gun.
Pulse cannon,
Magnetic cannon
and more...
After the weapon experiments, Christopher directed Optimus to transform into an earth drill and bore into the ground.
He drilled relentlessly, pulverizing everything in his path—mud, sand, rocks—nothing impeded his progress.
Several hundred meters below ground, he halted to inspect Optimus, ensuring he functioned flawlessly, and then retraced his path.
Optimus burst through the water and soared back to the villa.
Back at the villa, Christopher emerged from Optimus, expressing satisfaction. "Optimus, you are indeed my good assistant. Without your help, I wouldn't have been able to create such exceptional transformer prototype."
"I am honored to be of assistance, my liege," said Optimus.
"Haha! You truly know how to please others," Christopher chuckled.
"It's my liege's credit. Without my liege, there would be no me," responded Optimus.
"Alright, enough with this. Now, help me find the specific locations where those genius scientists who have passed away are buried," ordered Christopher.
"As you wish, my Liege," accepted Optimus.
A few minutes later, Optimus reported, "Liege, we have found the burial locations of the following genius scientists.
••••
Dr. Abraham Erskine.
Time of death: 1943.
Cause of death: shot by an agent of hydra.
...
Howard Stark.
Time of death: 1991.
Cause of death: Killed by Hydra.
...
Obadiah Stane.
Time of death: 2009.
Cause of death: Killed by Tony.

"Optimus, you are truly remarkable," Christopher expressed with satisfaction.
The deceased scientists identified by Optimus were all remarkable individuals. Extracting their genes would undoubtedly elevate Christopher to the pinnacle of intellectual power.
The mere thought of it filled him with excitement.
After indulging in a satisfying meal, Christopher donned the Optimus once more and departed from the private island, and embarked on his gene extraction quest.
....
With Optimus's guidance, Christopher easily located the cemeteries of these scientists. However, due to daytime security measures, he operated under the cover of night.
As he extracted the genes of the tenth deceased scientist, his system alerted him once again.
[Since the host has successfully extracted genes ten times, the system will reward you with a growth gift package.]
With excitement, Christopher opened the gift bag, finding another evolutionary gene inside. He understood the immense potential of such genes, having witnessed their power firsthand.
With the genes of other superheroes within reach, Christopher decided to save this evolutionary gene for future use.
Even after receiving the evolutionary gene, Christopher continued his relentless gene extraction efforts.
He visited renowned scientists worldwide, scoffing at those who were all talk and no action.
One month later, Christopher felt omnipotent.
His brain functioned at an unprecedented level, surpassing even Optimus's computational speed. He could discern energy fluctuations in the air and perceive the essence of objects with remarkable clarity.
"Oh my god! This feeling is incredible," Christopher exclaimed, awed by his newfound power.
"Liege, I can detect significant energy fluctuations in your brain. They can even affect me," Optimus informed him.
"Is it possible that these fluctuations are a manifestation of Telekinesis?" Christopher pondered.
Recalling Professor X from the "X-Men" movies, Christopher experimented with telekinesis, causing a toothpick to levitate with his mind.
As Christopher grinned, the toothpick fell to the ground.
"I must refine this superpower. It has endless potential," Christopher resolved determinedly.
