New Transformation

Amid Christopher's relentless onslaught, Dr Lizard succumbed to unconsciousness, tumbling into the murky sewage, motionless.

Christopher was just toying around with Dr Lizard. If he wanted then he could have ended the fight in seconds in his Titan form. But he chose to take this opportunity to familiarize himself with his new spider abilities.

Giant lizards loomed at both ends of the sewer, their roars reverberating, yet they hesitated to advance, perhaps awaiting orders from their fallen master.

With a hand resting on Dr Lizard's prone form, Christopher muttered to himself, "System, extract Dr Lizard's genetic material and integrate it with mine."

[Acknowledged. Dr Lizard's genetic material successfully extracted and merging initiated.]

Christopher's elation surged unexpectedly at the success of the extraction, surmising that Dr Lizard had been incapacitated before the procedure could be completed.

[Congratulationson the successful integration of the Lizard's gene.]

Following the System's prompt, an ominous force began to reshape Christopher's physique.

"Ahh!" he screamed, his body wracked with agonizing pain akin to his initial aversion to genetic alterations. Bones, tendons, flesh, and skin stretched beyond their limits, tormenting him to the brink of despair.

Gradually, Christopher's spider suit tore asunder, revealing a burgeoning transformation. A thick tail sprouted from his posterior, followed by his feet morphing into sturdy, animalistic appendages. His hands metamorphosed into formidable claws, effortlessly etching marks upon the sewer walls.

Yet, the alteration of his head proved the most excruciating. His skull contorted, reshaping into the visage of a fearsome lizard.

Christopher's cry echoed, resembling a draconic roar.

Having successfully assimilated Dr Lizard's genetic essence, Christopher collapsed to one knee, drained and breathless, the ordeal leaving him gasping for respite.

Dr Lizard groaned in pain as he regained consciousness.

Opening his eyes, Dr Lizard was taken aback to see a lizard-man kneeling beside him. He couldn't help but inquire, "Who are you?"

Known for his exceptional gene recovery ability, Dr Lizard's healing was swift, even after just a few minutes. Christopher, who had been incapacitated moments ago, now stood up, his hands transformed into claws, and an unfamiliar tail swaying behind him. While not as powerful as the Abomination or the Hulk, it was comparable to Spider-Man's strength.

Despite the less-than-ideal appearance of the transformation, Christopher wasn't concerned. His primary interest lay in the extraordinary regenerative ability he had acquired.

With this ability, as long as his brain remained intact, he could regenerate any missing body parts.

As Dr Lizard lay recovering, Christopher, standing above him, grinned wickedly and declared, "I'm here to save you, Dr Lizard."

Christopher recognized the potential of Dr Lizard, a man of high intelligence and profound knowledge in genetic research. The lizard DNA serum he developed, although turning people into monstrous hybrids, could be refined. If he could recruit Dr Lizard, Christopher believed his newfound allies would rival superheroes.

Curious, Dr Lizard inquired, "Where is that bastard Spider Tyrant?"

Perhaps recognizing a kindred spirit, Dr Lizard showed no hostility toward Christopher. "I defeated him," Christopher replied confidently.

Surprised, Dr Lizard questioned, "He's powerful. How did you manage to defeat him?" Recalling the recent confrontation, where he was left powerless and unconscious, he found Christopher's claim hard to believe.

With arrogance in his tone, Christopher retorted, "If you knew my true identity, you wouldn't doubt my abilities."

Intrigued, Dr Lizard asked, "What is your identity, then?"

"Listen up, for I am Christopher Yeager, the Titan Monarch, and the owner of the world's most luxurious and high-tech island named 'The Future'," he declared with unwavering pride.

"Uh, never heard of it." Unfamiliar with this claim, Dr Lizard awkwardly admitted.

"Christopher said, leaning forward with a spark of enthusiasm in his eyes. "It's okay if you haven't heard of them. But you must have come across Dr. Octopus and Dr. Hank, right? They're big shots in the scientific community."

Dr Lizard, perched on a nearby ledge, nodded in agreement. "Oh yes, both of them are quite famous. Doctor Octopus is actually a good friend of mine."

"Believe it or not, they're both in my circle now," Christopher boasted, trying to impress Dr Lizard. "And let me tell you, they're not the only ones. There's also the brilliant Dr. Helen, and even Harry, the Green Goblin, is collaborating with me. Plus, I'm a senior agent at SHIELD."

Dr Lizard seemed taken aback by Christopher's connections. "Really?" he exclaimed.

Christopher nodded confidently. "Absolutely. Say, would you be interested in joining us? I could support your research on creating a more potent lizard DNA serum. Imagine turning humans into powerful lizard people. Could you help me with that? In return, I promise you'll have a spot in our group."

"Um, why do you want to turn humans into lizardmen?" Christopher was at a loss for words.

"Because humans are too fragile," Dr Lizard explained earnestly. "More than 90% of them perish from illness or accidents, and less than 10% die naturally. By transforming them into lizardmen, they'd be immune to most illnesses and injuries, able to recover quickly. It's a boon for humanity."

Though Dr Lizard's intentions seemed noble, Christopher couldn't help but feel uneasy.

"I believe there are better alternatives," Christopher suggested. "Like developing a lizard serum without any side effects. That would be more widely accepted by humans."

"Develop a serum with no side effects?" Dr Lizard mused aloud.

After a moment of contemplation, he responded, "Lizard people possess strength and agility. They can scale walls and tunnel underground. It's a tremendous advantage! Why can't humans see it? Why are they always against me?"

"Dr Lizard, don't underestimate humanity," Christopher cautioned. "Strength isn't solely determined by size, just like that spider guy earlier. He might not be as imposing as you, but he's formidable, isn't he?"

"That's a valid point," Dr Lizard conceded before Christopher interjected again.

"If you could grant humans lizard-like abilities without the need for transformation or side effects, you'd be hailed as a hero. People would embrace you instead of fearing you," Christopher proposed.

After deep reflection, Dr Lizard turned to Christopher and said earnestly, "Alright, I'll join your group. But you must promise to support me in developing a lizard serum without any side effects."

"No problem," Christopher agreed eagerly.

As Christopher left, he couldn't help but feel triumphant. He had gained access to tritium elements, hang gliders, Spider-Man and Dr Lizard genes, and recruited Dr. Octopus and Dr Lizard. This trip was worth it.
