Chapter 51: Battle Suit

After the verification passed, the inner airlock door began to open, releasing the Kryptonian gas from inside. H'el maintained his bio-magnetic field and opened a gap, allowing some of the Kryptonian gas to be drawn into his mouth.

H'el's face darkened slightly, and his body experienced a strong reaction, as if it had gained several dozen pounds. It was just an illusion.

Whether it was heat vision, telescopic vision, microscopic vision, X-ray vision, steel-like body, or freezing breath, all their powers decreased simultaneously.

The Kryptonian gas attempted to suppress and degrade his cells, but due to the dense and unique nature of H'el's cells, with their powerful energy stores, the Kryptonian gas couldn't fully affect him.

His cells began to resist fiercely, tapping into deep reserves of energy to adapt to the Kryptonian gas. This adaptation process was incredibly slow for someone like H'el, who had adapted to cosmic radiation within a single breath.

Throughout history, the purpose of Kryptonian gas had been to suppress, degrade, and block the absorption of energy, serving as a poison to nullify the abilities of Kryptonians. In ancient times, when Krypton faced defeat in a universal war and was exterminated, they created this atmospheric gas to hide from their enemies. It eliminated Kryptonians' powers by preventing their cells from absorbing solar energy, allowing the remnants of Krypton to survive in secret, eventually fading into obscurity as all Kryptonians forgot their true potential.

Compared to losing their powers entirely by absorbing Kryptonian gas, H'el was already incredibly strong. However, his powers were reduced by about seventy-five percent.

At his current level, H'el couldn't completely negate the effects of the Kryptonian gas. But after soaking in it for a long time, he believed he would develop adaptability to thrive in this harsh environment.

He stepped into the ship's cabin with determination, continuing to absorb the Kryptonian gas to help his body adapt.

"Convert the crystalline core energy source and three thermonuclear reactors into crystalline engine energy."

"Prepare the bio-nutrient solution."

"Prepare the brain-in-a-tank learning mode."

The ship's assistant, which had come to welcome H'el, floated forward. Upon hearing H'el's orders, it took the crystalline core energy source and three thermonuclear reactors, collaborating with the other three ship assistants, and began its tasks.

Two of the ship assistants were assigned to the biotreatment room, where they prepared the nutrient solution and readied the brain-in-a-tank.

H'el then entered the biotreatment room and gently placed Sylvia's head into a two-meter-tall tank filled with nutrient solution, ensuring the initial supply of nutrients and establishing a circulation to maintain her brain's consciousness.

Once everything was secure, he commanded, "Begin connecting the biological brain."

Zero initiated the process. Over thirty lines released electrical signals, penetrating the nutrient solution above the glass tank, connecting with Sylvia's brain, inserting into her cortex and synapses.

"Begin constructing the learning mode."

"Scene constructed as the Kryptonian Great Library and Creation Bio-Lab."

"Learning mode construction completed."

"Knowledge directory list: Kryptonian biology genetics, genetic talent anchoring, ancient biology genetic list, cloned human genetic sequences, biochemical engineering, genesis genetic engineering... A total of one hundred and twenty subjects."

"Set adjustment time 1:1000."

"Brain-in-a-Tank learning mode, settings complete."

"00:01"

The countdown began, and the entire process proceeded smoothly without any turbulence. Inside the Brain-in-a-Tank, Sylvia had started her process of learning Kryptonian genetic knowledge.

Beside H'el, a projection displayed Sylvia within the tank, her face filled with excitement as she sat in a library, continuously flipping through books, recording the appearance of knowledge.

H'el nodded and left her be. Sylvia would need at least a month, perhaps three, to record all the knowledge of Kryptonian biology genetics. As long as there was enough nutrient solution to maintain her brain activity, there wouldn't be any issues.

H'el turned and exited the biotreatment room. There was a hovering ship assistant that extended a mechanical arm, holding a symbol that resembled a diamond contour with a black S inside it. This symbol represented the El family.

H'el took the S emblem that represented the El family, and his fingers rubbed against the black border, feeling the cold touch, evoking complex emotions as memories flooded back.

"That was the time I lived on Krypton, the emotions that are still vivid in my memory, the joy, the support, the people who worshipped me as a god. Jor-El, why can you be so heartless?"

As H'el rubbed the emblem representing hope, the icy touch made him feel that this emblem, despite its representation of hope, had not given any hope to Krypton.

Hope... Whose hope was it? Was it your hope, your son's hope, or Krypton's hope?

Why wouldn't you give Krypton even a glimmer of hope!

In the next moment, H'el's face turned ruthless, his eyes sharp. He shattered his clothes into molecules, letting them disperse. With force, he pressed the emblem, a symbol of hope, against his resolute chest.

The nanotechnology battle suit began to flow out like countless black ants from the S emblem, blinking and radiating a faint dark gold luminescence. It covered H'el's fair and strong chest, extending to his shoulders, arms, wrists, lower body, and forming black boots under his feet.

A cloak behind him spread out like burning dark gold flames, cascading down to his heels.

The form-fitting battle suit outlined his robust muscle contours.

The entire suit was predominantly black, with hints of dark gold, and the S emblem on his chest had a dark gold glow along its edges.

This black suit, modified by H'el, used nanotechnology and recorded multiple restoration and healing techniques. It enhanced H'el's ability to absorb solar radiation and various cosmic radiations, allowing him to recover his strength more rapidly.

It included memory alloys formed by over a dozen rare metals, enabling the suit to repair itself automatically.

Inside, there were features like shape-shifting, the ability to generate various kinetic, particle energy attacks and absorption, radiation barriers, and actively enhancing the efficiency of Kryptonian abilities. It also had an internal control network that could connect to external networks, projecting information into H'el's eyes.

This was a specially crafted, super-enhanced suit for H'el.

As soon as he put it on, it automatically started shielding the Kryptonian atmosphere, restoring H'el's formidable abilities. The suit detected the suppressive force of Kryptonian atmosphere on H'el's cells and kept him in peak condition.

H'el extended his wrist and looked at the black suit covering his arms. The suit clung to his skin, providing a slightly cool and comfortable sensation due to its metallic nature.

He gently rubbed the S emblem on his chest with his fingers, running them along the edges of the dark gold luminescence, a cold smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.

He reached out with his hand to wipe away the S emblem, wanting to create his own symbol.

But in the end, he stopped.

"It will happen when I resolve all of this."
