138. Moon Base

I knew roughly where to find the alien medicinal herbs and other ingredients I needed, so I quickly bought everything I needed.

I also found a Techadonian who was selling his inventions on the market, and quietly put him to sleep, took some of his blood, and then left as if nothing had happened.

Unfortunately, I learned one unpleasant thing while shopping. The aliens are afraid of me. More precisely, the Legion. For some reason, they think I'm a terrible xenophobe and hate all aliens. When I arrived at the market in the form of an alien, everyone immediately recognized me because of the symbol of the Omnitrix, and a real panic began. The aliens seriously thought that I had come to kill them all….

It was an embarrassing moment. When I wanted to make it clear that I would not do anything to anyone, no one even listened to me, because everyone fled from me in horror...

To prevent this from turning into a mass escape of aliens, I had to leave, and then return in the form of a Slug, disguised as a random alien and hiding the clock symbol.

To be honest, it is not clear why I would have such a reputation, because in fact, from aliens, I fought only with Vilgax and his army. And as far as I remember from the words of Tetrax, Vilgax is not very well liked in the galaxy. To be afraid, of course, but not like.

Although, of course, there was also a battle with Vulcanus and Six-Six, but they are known criminals and I don't think that decent aliens have any business with them. It's quite possible that someone is spreading bad rumors about me...

Although, I'm not up to it now, but I will have to solve this problem, because I don't want the good aliens to be afraid of me. I am not a xenophobe at all, but on the contrary, sometimes I like some aliens even more than people. The same Tetrax is a great guy.

Probably, it will be necessary to act as heroes not only on the surface, but also in the Underground City. If I save a couple of aliens, then at least it will show that I do not wish them anything bad...

With these thoughts in mind, I finally finished buying everything on the list that Morgana gave me, after which I returned to the Cave and continued to work.

It took me only twenty minutes to synthesize the Hyde Formula, since now I had everything I needed, including the powder from the improved Corrodium, but I had to tinker with the Jekyll Serum.

As I said before, my Jekyll Serum can permanently turn an ordinary person into a human-alien hybrid, while providing only racial skills, not appearance. In general, like most real half-breeds. Although, this does not work with all types of aliens and this serum can only be used once, only with one race. So you have to choose wisely. Well, of course, it cannot be used on those who are already half an alien, otherwise it will be certain death.

To complete the synthesized serum, U need to add the blood extract of the alien whose powers you want to receive. Since I want to give the serum to my Forever Ninja, I had to think for a long time about the abilities that would suit them.

Suitable for combat, but not too powerful or complex to make them easier to master, and ones that won't be a problem for me if things don't go well. After thinking, and weighing all the pros and cons, I decided to create a Jekyll Serum based on the blood of Pyronite, Sandarian, Kaskan, Antarxis and Nosidian. To respectively grant the powers of fire, sand, water, ice and electricity.

I think the elemental forces are the most suitable, quite simple and the least dangerous, although useful.

- Let them decide for themselves who gets what powers…. - I muttered as I finished the gift for the ninja.

When that was done, I also created some, so to speak, empty Jekyll Serums, so that I could quickly create a ready-made version with the power of a suitable alien, if the situation required it.

After I put the result of my work today into my inventory, I set about creating a cure for Gilbert. Since I already had everything prepared, I only processed the blood of the Techadonian, and the Bleach, created specifically for the former Artisan was ready.

I did not hesitate and immediately administered the medicine to the guy and transferred him to the bacta tank (a capsule with Dr. Fatty's healing mucus) and connected a dropper with nutrients, as a serious restructuring of the body awaits him.

Since, unlike the situation with the Circus Freaj Trio, this medicine was created specifically for him to remove the alien part from his DNA, there were no problems and side effects and everything worked successfully. Didn't even need my Omni-Enhanced Serum +.

This is of course a painful procedure, but as long as Gilbert is unconscious, he does not care. It will take about a month for all the changes to take effect, and he becomes a full-blooded human. After that, I will let him go and see what he will do with his second chance, which I gave him. Hope, all this work will not be meaningless...

- Okay, finally done with this. What's up with the search for the alpha gene? - I asked Morgana, stretching a little.

- [By the beginning of next month, everything will be ready.] - Morgana replied.

- Well, that's cool. I'll have time to deal with Victor and go on a mission with Tetrax. After that, the real work will begin. - I said with a smile, noticing that it was almost seven o'clock in the evening.

- By the way, did you catch SAM? - I asked, remembering the meteorological robot whose AI I had asked to disable Morgana.

- [Yes, although he certainly resisted, but what could om do against the magnificent me. It's already locked up and won't be able to get out of cyberspace until you give the command.] - Morgana said proudly, turning up her virtual nose.

- Good. Then, in order to distract its creator from the sudden disappearance of his invention, arrange for him a place as a meteorologist on some major channel. His dream will come true and he will no longer be up to SAM. - I said, deciding on a good thing for Vance Vetteroy and also distract him.

- [Everything will be for the best, love.] - Morgana said coquettishly, starting to complete my task, most likely through bribing the right people.

- I didn't expect anything else. Okay, time to go do some other business before it's too late. - I said, getting up from my seat.

- [Good luck.] - Morgana said in the end, when I teleported to the moon.

I came here to find an intergalactic communication system created by the Plumbers', which is now abandoned. In fact, it was built shortly before the first victory over Vilgax, and was never used for its intended purpose.

When the Plumbers' left Earth, they just left this brand new lunar base with a communication system as the need for it disappeared. Since no one needs it at the moment, I decided to requisition it and use it for my own purpose.

Namely, as a new base for my faction of the Forever Knights. It seemed that the place where my people are now is not very safe, as they have already been attacked several times by the Knights on the run, in the hope of getting resources and a place to hide from the government.

Kei told me this when I was working on the serums. My knights did not blunder and repulsed the attack, but this means that it is no longer possible to stay in that castle, as in others, as their location is known to heretics.

Initially, I didn't intend to use the Forever Knights' former castles as a base for my faction, as it was stupid and not practical, but I thought I had time to build a space station in Earth orbit, just like the Justice League. But it turned out that my faction now needs its own safe place where they can relax and train, and as you know, I decided to use a moon base that no one needs for this purpose.

Of course, I could just move them to the Cave, but this is my personal corner of paradise and I did not want other people to live there, even if they were completely devoted to me. Besides, Morgana would definitely be angry...

I roughly knew the coordinates of the base, so I had no problem finding her in one of the craters on the far side of the satellite.

Approaching the disguised entrance, I turned into a Phantom Vyrus and quickly hacked into all the systems of the base, letting Morgana in, who quickly captured her, immediately separating the base from the Plumbers' network and erasing her existence from all databases.

Now, this place really belongs to me. Entering inside, I began to inspect the base, which was called Selena. It was not too big by space standards, but more than a thousand people could easily live here. Everything need for this is there. Think, my guys will be quite comfortable here.

After making sure that everything was in order, I quickly made several modifications and added something on my own, after which I opened a portal and let several dozen samurai robots into the base, which will now serve as the base's attendants.

Having also delivered a supply of food to the base, filled the water tanks and set up the air supply system, I was satisfied with my work, put on my Forever King costume and moved to the castle, directly to Kei.

- Your Majesty! - exclaimed the girl whom I had interrupted from her rest.

- You can sit. - I said calmly, sitting on a chair.

- Yes, Your Majesty. - Kei said respectfully, sitting across from her.

- I see you had a hard time. - I said, pointing to the girl's slightly tattered armor.

- Yes, we did not expect the heretics to attack us at night. Luckily we fought back and no one was hurt except for a few bruises and bruises, but we never got to rest as you ordered. We are waiting for the next attack. - said the girl.

- I understand. It's not safe here anymore. Luckily I found you a new home. - I said, imitating the habits of the king.

- But, how can we just walk away and leave this place? - The ninja asked uncertainly.

- It's just a run-down castle, which also reminds of the order's failed path. We don't need him. We are starting all over again, and it will be better if we discard everything old, including this place. In addition, it is important for me that you are full of energy and ready for the beginning of the reformation and changes in the order. We do not need this senseless conflict. - I said the nonsense that first came to my voice.

- I understand. Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. - Kei said gratefully. believing in my words without any doubt.

- Then let everyone know about the move. Let them collect all their things and I will bring you to the new base. - I ordered.

- Just a second, My King. - bowing deeply, the girl said and ran off to collect all her comrades.

In less than an hour, which I killed playing games on my phone (not too royal, huh?), everyone was ready and I turned into a Portaler, opening a dimensional gate to the moon base.

After showing the residential sector, where there were enough rooms for the Knights to live alone, I began to conduct a tour and show how everything works.

- Can go outside, but do not forget to put on a spacesuit, after all, we are on the moon. - I said as we all gathered in the large conference room.

- Have questions? - I asked, looking at three hundred and five people, who were completely delighted with their new place of residence.

Seeing no reaction, I finally added: - In the basement, I installed a transporter (created by Gilbert), with which you can move to Earth and buy everything you need. But again, don't do it in your armor and don't draw undue attention. Got it?

- YES, YOUR MAJESTY! - Everyone exclaimed happily, deafening me for a second.

- Well, that's good. Settle in for now, and I'll be back in a few days and we'll get to work. - I said, standing up.

Following me, all the Knights got to their feet, and then knelt down with their hands on their hearts, and again they were probably going to shout their fanatical crap, but I managed to move back to Chicago in time. They are too loud...
