Devil fruit in comics

Chapter 265 Man-made divine power

After starting the Fruit of God Project, Roger's ordinary life became a little different.

Although he still occasionally appears in charity restaurants and the Wayne Group, his main focus is on the Fruit of God project.

In order to facilitate his own research, he also rented a secret laboratory hidden underground from Bruce.

The laboratory is located near the port of Gotham.

On the surface, this is a defunct container terminal.

But in fact, this is one of Bruce's many secret bases in Gotham.

Bruce sometimes does some related research and investigation in the secret laboratory under the pier.

After renting this secret laboratory with Bruce, it became the main place for Roger to pass the time.

Because the energy analyzer has not yet arrived, he can only use some seemingly unscientific methods to study the divine power on the storm hammer, and conduct experiments to simulate basic atoms with photons in an elemental state.

Theoretically speaking, it is feasible to replace atoms with photons to rebuild a body of light with the physique of an Asgardian.

But when it is actually operated, it is not simple at all.

This not only requires Roger to have abnormally precise control over these photons, but also requires his 100% understanding of the body structure of the Asgardians.

This is a bit like using a pixel screen, and you can't use the mouse and keyboard to manipulate these pixels, but you need to use code to manipulate these pixels.

Roger is not a researcher by training.

Although he did some weird experiments in the Marvel universe, at that time, he not only had professional subordinates, such as Dr. Connors and the super life computer "Heart of the World", but also had the necessary equipment for the experiments. of various resources.

Here, he neither has professional subordinates to help him share these tasks, nor does he have a complete set of experimental instruments to cooperate with the experiments.

In addition to the set of energy analyzers that Bruce helped to buy, the most experimental method he uses now is to conduct "human experiments" directly on himself.

Fortunately, the body in the elemental state will not be damaged no matter how you play.

Otherwise, his plan would have failed due to various objective factors within a few days of its birth.

Bruce and Selina don't know what Roger is doing now.

However, they wisely chose not to pursue the matter.

Since Roger doesn't want to reveal it yet, they won't ask for the bottom line.

Days go by like this.

Before I knew it, three months had passed.

During these three months, Roger spent most of his time in the laboratory, except for occasional trips to the restaurant and the Wayne Group to show his face.

After Bruce got the energy analyzer, he asked Bruce to buy some other research equipment.

After three months, the funds for the purchase of equipment alone exceeded [-] million US dollars.

If some experimental materials are added, he spent a total of more than 3 million U.S. dollars in the past three months, an average of about [-] million U.S. dollars a month.

Although the property was shrinking, Roger didn't take this seriously.

Not to mention it's just [-] million US dollars, even if he spends all his property, he won't take it to heart.

For things like money, you can make money after you use it up, and he doesn't lack the means to make money, it just depends on whether he wants to make money or not.

Among other things, if he wanted to make money, he only needed to take part of the vibrating gold from the green space in his body, and he would be able to make a lot of money back.

In addition to the special metal Vibranium, there are also a large number of high-tech products from the Kree Empire and Xandar Star stored in the different space in his body.

Including but not limited to artificial intelligence, robots, weapons, spaceships and more.

Yes, there are even spaceships capable of interstellar travel in the green space in his body.

Although it was a little troublesome to stuff these spaceships into the green space in his body, he still chose to do so.

Sometimes, he feels that the green space in his body is a bit like Doraemon's "four-dimensional pocket", with all kinds of messy things in it.

After these three months of research, his God's Fruit plan has finally taken a crucial first step.

Through reverse research on Odin's divine power on the Storm Hammer, and using the flashing energy of the sparkling fruit for simulation, Roger initially mastered the method of transforming the flashing energy of the sparkling fruit into divine power.

For this transformed energy, he called it "Shining power."

Originally, he planned to name it "Divine Power of Light" or "Divine Power of Light", but when he finally named it, he decided to name it "Shining Divine Power".

The reason for this decision is to commemorate the transformation of these special man-made divine powers from the Glitter Fruit.

In order to distinguish the difference between Shining divine power and orthodox divine power such as Odin's divine power, he named the divine power transformed from other energies as man-made divine power.

In the future, in the field of man-made divine power, there will be magma divine power, tremor divine power, gate divine power and so on.

Although he has not yet converted 100% of the energy of the Shining Fruit into Shining Power, but only 20%, he is still very satisfied with his current research progress.

20% of the progress does not seem high, but it proves that his idea is completely feasible.

It is nothing more than wasting more time to study higher conversion methods, and finally achieved 100% complete conversion.

This kind of thing can only be improved a little bit by continuous testing and research in the future, so he is not particularly urgent.

In addition, he made another very important discovery.

Although the man-made Shining divine power is not an orthodox divine power and does not belong to any mythological system, the Shining divine power still exhibits some characteristics that only orthodox divine powers have.

For example, it can be used to perform magic.

After traveling to this world, because this is not the parallel universe of the Marvel Universe, the magic that Roger learned in Karma Taj is completely impossible to use here.

It's not that Karma Taj's magic doesn't adapt to this world, but because there is no such thing as Visandi here to provide the magic power needed for casting spells.

The magic of Karma Taj requires the help of other higher beings to cast spells.

Although it is not necessary to rely on the power of Weishandi, it is also possible to use the power of the dark dimension or the Lord of Hell, but in the final analysis, these magics must have the power of other existences to cast them.

Karma Taj's mages do not directly store magic power in their bodies like other mages, but only use the power of those higher beings to cast spells when necessary.

To give a simple example, mages of other genres are a bit like customers who carry cash with them.

When they want to buy something, they just pull out their wallet and pay directly.

As long as they have money with them, they can buy what they want anytime and anywhere.

But Karma Taj's mages are different, they are like customers who use electronic payment.

When they want to buy goods, they need a mobile phone connected to the Internet, and they can only pay when there is a network and the payment software is normal.

More importantly, Karma Taj masters are not only different in payment methods, but also the funds they use for payment are not their own, but similar to credit cards or certain credit payments.

Of course, unlike swiping a credit card or using a certain article, the money does not need to be repaid.

As for why those high-level beings who are "banks" are willing to give their money to the mages of Karma Taj, Roger doesn't know.

Anyway, these "banks" are willing to borrow and don't ask for repayment.

As for whether there are some hidden clauses in it, Roger doesn't know, and he doesn't really care.

After traveling to this world, Roger couldn't get Visandi and other "banks" to pay for him, so he lost the ability to buy goods and couldn't use the magic he learned in Karma Taj.

However, when he mastered the artificial divine power that he created, the situation became a little different.

Now he doesn't need to ask Weissandi and other "banks" to pay for him, he can pay himself directly.

The payment method is still electronic payment, but it is no longer a credit card or a certain article, but his own deposit.

From a certain point of view, he himself has become a "bank", and Shining Power is his legal financial license.

After discovering this, without any hesitation, he directly tried the Kama Taj magic he knew.

Facts have proved that his magical powers can fully support him in performing these magics.

Of course, because he used his own power instead of borrowing the power of Weissandi and other existences like before, he would be a little more tired than before when casting these magics.

After all, he had to provide everything by himself now, so naturally he paid more than before.

Although it was not as good as before, the fact that everything was under his control made him feel more secure.

At least he doesn't need to worry about Weishandi and other existences suddenly not providing power.

After completing the first phase of research on the Fruit of God project, Roger also planned to leave Gotham.

Although he hasn't met the Joker yet, nor has he met Batgirl and others, but he has already begun to feel that Gotham doesn't have much to attract him.

Selina is still passionate about her philanthropy, and Bruce plays Batman as always.

As for Harley, Carmine, Penguin and others, they are still carrying out their daily activities.

Although he has been in Gotham for several months, compared to before his arrival, except that he has made some name in the Gotham underground world, made the court of owls disappear, and the law and order environment near the charity restaurant has been improved. Gotham is no different, aside from a massive upgrade.

Gotham is still Gotham, nothing has changed.

Take the Court of Owls as an example. Although the Court of Owls has disappeared, those old families in Gotham have not left the underground world just like that.

The only difference is that they no longer have sharp claws to help them eradicate the enemy, and the methods they use have changed from bloody and terrifying assassinations to slightly more civilized business competition.

But no matter what, the nature of these veteran families remains unchanged.

After the day's research was over, and the three-month research data was stored and backed up in different places, Roger cast the portal magic and left the laboratory.

In terms of efficiency, the portal magic is a little slower than the flash of the door fruit.

After all, when casting this magic, he still needs to draw circles in advance.

But in terms of visual effects, portal magic is more advanced than flash.

Among other things, those shining golden sparks alone are even more dazzling than appearing out of thin air.

After the golden portal was formed, Roger returned from the laboratory to the office on the third floor of the restaurant.

After sitting in the office and thinking for a few minutes, he called Selina who was counting the restaurant's business data on the second floor.

Selina is still wearing everyday casual clothes, exuding seductive charm.

When Selina came to the front, Roger said slowly: "I plan to go to the metropolis in a few days. If there is no accident, I should live there for a while."

Selina frowned slightly, and said softly: "Then will you come back?"

As someone who gets along with Roger day and night, Selina certainly knows Roger's character.

He's not someone who's going to settle down somewhere for long.

Although Roger has been staying with her for the past few months, living an ordinary life like a normal person, but she knows that for Roger, this is just a leisure time like traveling and relaxing.

"Of course I will, but I don't know when I will come back."

"If you want, you can go to the metropolis with me. The restaurant can be handled by other people."

After living with Selina for so long, Roger has also adapted to the days when Selina is by his side.

Among other things, Selina's comfort every night is a very pleasant thing.

Selina didn't answer him immediately, but fell silent.

After thinking for more than a minute, she slowly said: "I still don't want to go. I grew up in Gotham, and I'm not used to living in other cities."

After speaking, Selina came to Roger, put her arms around his neck, and sat on his lap.

"However, you'd better not think that you can get rid of me like this. If you plan to lift your pants and refuse to admit it, even if you go back to the flower planter's house, I will drag you out."

Selina "threats" Roger.

"You think too much, no man will abandon a beauty of your level, unless he is not a man."

Roger said with a serious face.

Although his expression was serious, Selina didn't seem to believe him very much.

Without giving Roger a chance to continue explaining, Selina took the initiative to provoke Roger, kicking off the prelude to the discussion.

Of course, Roger would not refuse Selina's challenge, and he used all his strength to compete with Selina.

In a blink of an eye, the office became a battlefield, and a fierce battle was staged.
