Annihilus Part 8

//

November 6, 2015

Three days have passed since Jane's group took a trip to the Negative Zone.

And the profits had been generous.

Vibranium and other metals are materials widely used in Genosha technology.

And other countries also offer large amounts of money for them.

Genosha has no problem selling the raw product, after all aside from Wakanda country and Tony, very few people have the technology to put it to good use.

They have already installed a transportation system to make it easier to transport the metals.

A group of Mutants and Sentinels led by Magneto have created a base in the Negative Zone to keep it safe from enemy attacks.

Especially for Annihilus, since Alex knows from Susan that her teammates damaged the Cosmic Control Rod.

So Annihilus must be fixing it.

Alex could go and attack but he was curious if his 'Imagine Breaker' can affect that artifact so he is waiting for Annihilus to be the first to attack.

After all, he has realized that his 'Imagine Breaker' is different from Kamijou Touma's.

Since unlike the 'A Certain Magical Index' universe where magic and science are different concepts that are damaged if combined, in the Marvel universe there was no such case, science and magic are branches that are born from the same understanding.

The laws and their concepts complement each other.

So Alex believes that when science reaches a point where it approaches magic, he will be able to destroy it.

Of course, if his 'Imagine Breaker' doesn't work, then he will use the presence that is dormant within it.

Since his power has grown, he has felt the dominating presence within it.

Just like Kamijou-kun, he not only had the 'Imagine Breaker', but also the strange existence hidden in it.

That existence, even in Index's story, is not known much and its abilities are also mysterious.

Although he could deduce some of the abilities after watching the anime and novels.

After all, this existence was powerful and in the anime it took on the appearance of seven dragons.

Although he was uncomfortable at first, that existence seemed to treat him very well and developed a kind of intimate connection.

It even allowed him to use some of its energy.

Alex classified that power with a concept very similar to that of the Infinity Stones.

They have a very important position in the forces of the universe.

Though to fully use this power, he must lose his 'Imagine Breaker'.

Since he knows that the 'Imagine Breaker' works as a seal.

But on that part Alex is also helpless.

Due to his stronger and more powerful body it is very difficult to deal physical damage to him, and even if he manages to lose his right arm, his terrifying cellular regeneration ability would heal him instantly.

So he must keep connecting with that existence to find another way to use it.

So for the time being, he is content with the little help it gives him.

Sure, so far he hasn't tested it and since Annihilus could attack, it would be good to test it on him.

He was curious how that existence would affect Annihilus.

In the anime, this power was shown to affect the consciousness of its victims, to the point of destroying their personality.

With those thoughts, he continued to carry out his work.

Being a ruler is not a very simple job.

November 7, 2015

After a day at the office, Alex had time today to go to the Negative Zone in person.

With him are Est, Lina, Rogue, Jessica, Jane, Maya, Susan, Helen Cho and the Phoenix.

"Are you completely sure about this, Alex?" Jane Foster asked worriedly.

"Yeah, after all, this will improve my physique, you must know how special my body is and the requirements to improve it, right?" Alex said casually.

Jane said no more and just nodded.

Alex, who was wearing his suit to protect himself from the harsh environment of the Negative Zone, deactivated it and stored it in his bracelet.

Once it was removed, Alex felt the sudden onslaught of radiation from the Negative Zone.

He felt his cells being fiercely attacked, but quickly his 'Genetic Adapter' gift activated and began to improve his body's resistance to that energy.

Jane, Maya, Susan, and Helen Cho quickly began checking Alex's body for changes, just in case something went wrong.

They were aware of Alex's fantasy body, as most medicines and serums have been created using his blood.

Even with all their current research they have not uncovered the mystery of his genetics.

But they have also drawn many inspirations from it.

Even Susan, who considers herself a great geneticist, was surprised by Alex's genetic function.

She had improved a lot in that field due to the many strange things she had seen since she got her powers.

But Alex's genes are strange, for although she understands the basic sequence, it all becomes a mess when she digs into it.

And although that must alter his DNA sequence, surprisingly, it is the same as that of an ordinary person.

As if from the beginning there were no alterations, if it weren't for the fact that his cells have a great amount of activity superior to that of a common one, she would think that there was an error with her tests.

That made her curiosity about Alex increase, what she didn't expect is that this curiosity would take her to a point of no return.

Sensing Susan's strange look, Alex freaked out and his body shuddered for a moment.

Since that look was like seeing her prey.

He never expected that woman to have such strange hobbies.

While this was happening, Annihilus's forces, led by him, were closing in.

The confrontation was about to start.
