Borrowing the most expensive laboratory in the world
In my most schizophrenic moment, drums and background music started to play as I conducted more and more tests. The Anti-Aging Serum was originally developed from an amphibian from the futuristic world, and from our options, I found an acceptable copy. Using the genes of the immortal bird. However, even though I had found my first well-stabilized serum, there were no test subjects in the lab.
I suppose they would be brought in from outside whenever one of these was needed. One could only inject it and hope for the best. Any noise from outside was no longer clearly perceived when concentrating on the serum.
I could take it like a champ, but not even Rick C137 himself would risk it, not after ruining a universe with a love potion. Although it wasn't entirely his fault, because even though he didn't stop the disaster, he knew from the beginning that it would cause it. Without hesitation, Rick pierced his thigh with a strange light in his eyes. As the liquid flowed into his bloodstream, Rick pumped it with his muscles to speed up the process. Suddenly Rick disintegrated into fire and ashes only for his body to resurface naked on a pile of liquid metal.
"Ha ha! Yes! I did it! I'm a genius!" Rick said before falling to the ground again and burning himself with the metal.
"Aaaahrg!" As he burned severely, his body rebuilt itself again only to deactivate this time. He wanted to try it again to see if his serum would stay permanently in his body. But before he proceeded to cut off his arm with his own palm, his previously boiling Ki suddenly calmed down. Causing several speculations to appear in his head. 'What if it's a limited-time effect?' 'How long can I use this serum before a bug is discovered?' Rick, who seconds ago looked like a ripped teenager on an alcohol high, completely returned to his old self.
"No," Rick said to himself. "I didn't go back to my past to heal my wounds" "My body was reborn in its most ideal state"
"But this doesn't make sense, the phoenix didn't even appear in the manga due to its death by... I actually forgot. It doesn't matter" Rick convinced himself and then interacted with his Ki. And that's what terrified him the most.
Because! His Ki was now reduced to the lowest point of his life! "Wait?!" "Why?!" 'Ahh yes, that's why the phoenix died, due to lack of energy. According to my assumption, it is not the body or soul of the phoenix that is immortal, but rather an innate technique of its own that was developed from the talent of its race. And like any technique, it needs Ki or magic to use, or perhaps divine Ki, although I doubt an earth bird has the ki of the God of Creation.' *Fuhh..* With a sigh Rick picked up his notebook lying on the ground several meters away that he possibly had blown away when Rick was first reborn. As he left the room Rick looked at the three middle-aged gentlemen arguing outside and then sighed again. 'How can a child like him be the mature one of everyone here?'
"Hey guys!"
" Wait !?"
They all shouted in unison threateningly. But when everyone turned their heads they couldn't help but scream again.
"What?!"
Yes, the new Rick from the comics, the new naked Rick from the Dragon Ball version. Oh!? Wait, he's naked! With a quick turn, Rick entered and exited the lab again. This time with pants. He now he is the semi naked version. That with his short, spiky hairstyle like Gohan's adult version of him, he's now qualified to be on the cover of some secretary's calendar. It would be less strange if you didn't know how old he was. But what preteen has developed his muscles to such a degree. *Fiush Fiush Fiush* With a sound straight out of science fiction, his body remodeled into its compact form. Now more aesthetic than ever, it can be said that it is the new Rick prime.
"Ha ha ha ha ha," the people on the opposite side were left incredulous by his involuntary laughter. Rockero was stunned, Dr. Gero was terrified, and Dr. Brief was overjoyed. At this moment, Rick could be the most loyal of his disciples. Because on the one hand, he is a genius worth betting on, in Dr. Brief's eyes, and now he has shown that you can be an excellent martial artist and scientist. In both ways, Rick has become a role model for him."Let's go, our work here is done. Thank you for your laboratory, Dr. Gero." Waving back, Rick left now with the goal of continuing his training. This time, he took his disciples with him. His intention was to train them to reach a level similar to that of the bald three-eyed man from the early stages. Before he gave them the freedom to recruit more disciples and gain fame for their future school.
