Chapter Twenty(20)

[Commencing creation] Paris commented and James stood up and walked to a section of the lab, the section was blocked off by a massive glass wall and beyond the wall was nothing, it was just an empty space

At the moment, Paris could be seen standing in this vacant space as she held her hand out as a burst of black and white energy appeared before her. One important point to note about Paris is that she is, for it's worth, Nigh-omnipotent. She could do anything and everything she put her mind to but she refuses to for a single reason, she knew her power while it may be virtually limitless and near all powerful, it was illusionary in nature. Cosmic cubes were powerful and able to warp reality but a small problem was that its vastly omnipotent abilities were somehow flawed. Anything she creates out of nothing through reality warping will disappear if she is ever destroyed or even simpler if it is taken out of this dimension then they immediately dissolve into nothingness.

This little detail limited her options but turns out her Matter manipulation powers are as real as they get. Paris theorized that this was mostly because she was using existing matter and not making her own like what happened while reality warping. James watched as she created a symbiote from 'nothing', looking at the strange symbiote which was the result of her creation. The symbiote was grey in colour and somewhat felt different from other symbiotes.

Normal symbiotes couldn't really be considered life since they were magically formed from Knull's shadow so they shouldn't exactly be considered life but this one was different…. It felt different to James. He could sense life coming from the newly created symbiote. Paris just created a new type of symbiote.

"Paris, I don't think that is an actual symbiote" James said in surprise, he could even see life energy from the symbiote, something he couldn't sense from all the other symbiotes he saw on Klyntar.

[True, though its genetic structure is based on a normal symbiote, this one is way different from a normal symbiote] Paris replied, even though she didn't truly understand how the symbiote she had created was different from the one Knull had created. Yes, it was immune to all conventional Symbiote weaknesses and was completely free from Knull's control but it shouldn't cause it to actually become alive.

[The entire symbiote is like one giant cell] she added after she scanned it to identify what the problem was

"Or is it because you actually created this one and not just blatantly copied Knull's work" James suggested since unlike Knull, Paris created this symbiote from normal materials aka normal matter instead of darkness. This small difference may have resulted in this one actually been alive compared to the other ones.

[I think so too but let's not dwell on that for now, the symbiote lives and has all the abilities we want] Paris commented changing the subject

"True, now to test it" James said and pressed one of the buttons on the panel before him as a man of equal height and build to James. The man looked exactly like James, Paris and in extension, James had created a set of lifeless clones of himself that would be used mostly in testing out any experimental product or creation they had manufactured. At the moment, this clone was being mind controlled by Paris as it walked into the testing room and grabbed the symbiote.

As soon as it grabbed the symbiote, it started wrapping itself around his hand until it covered his entire hand until it looked like it had swallowed him whole. A few more seconds of waiting with bated breaths, the large frame receded and the clone was revealed again except he was now wearing a skin tight suit.

"Paris, how does it feel?" James asked nervously, the symbiote was meant to be something used for his family's protection so if the symbiote failed in any way and he didn't know then used it on his family then that would be a disaster.

[I feel fine, there is no excessive hunger or a drive to create any sort of problem… we can at least confirm that it truly is self-sustained and doesn't influence it's user mentally] Paris replied

"Good… that's good, go on" James said as he released a sigh of relief and breath even he didn't know he was holding.

Paris continued the test as she started manipulating the symbiote and pushing it to its limits. From testing how far away its tendrils can extend to how strong it was, exactly how much it enhanced people physically, what is the limit to what it can heal. James and Paris spent a few hours testing all of these turns out the tendrils can't exactly stretch for no more than 10m which is a lot and was as strong as spider silk, it basically turned people into a slightly above average super soldier, granting them 1 ton in strength, 40mph in speed. A slight improvement but even this was too powerful. As for its healing factor, let's just say, if you lose a limb the symbiote would automatically replace it.

[Sir, Smith biotechnologies just made a breakthrough in synthetic cell creation. We now have a cell that can duplicate without changing into a whole different cell, they just created the first 'artificial' non-artificial heart] Paris suddenly said drawing James's attention from the clone he was examining

"That's great, now we can take complete control of the medical department" James replied genuinely happy, he had long since figured out synthetic cells. The clone before him was made using it.
