Bai Qi saw the Titans outside the Golden City before he left, but Bai Qi, in his current state, had no time to bother with these small fry. Moreover, he still had use for these young superheroes in the future.
After leaving, Bai Qi's target was clear. He went directly to Lex Luthor's secret laboratory. Upon meeting Luthor, without a word, Bai Qi threw the frozen Kunsas in front of him.
Seeing such a large specimen, Lex Luthor was indeed troubled. While he had a considerable number of personnel, core experiments could not be entrusted to external researchers. Even if entrusted to absolutely loyal confidants, Luthor, as the overall commander, had to keep an eye on the progress of various experiments from time to time. On top of that, he was already overwhelmed with his existing workload.
Now, it was even worse. Before one task was finished, another arrived. Although he had no strong aversion to knowledge and research, one task after another was simply too much for his body to bear.
Bai Qi did not care about this. After all, with Bai Qi's methods, even if one was on the verge of death, he could save them.
After dropping off the item, Bai Qi did not leave in a hurry. He sat down on a nearby seat and asked the troubled-looking Luthor, "Where is Bai Qi?"
The Bai Qi Bai Qi mentioned was none other than the girl created by the cloning project. Bai Qi himself had given her the name.
Not long ago, the first phase of the cloning project had been completed, and Bai Qi no longer needed to be confined in that small incubator, constantly absorbing energy.
With Bai Qi's awakening, the project officially entered its second phase.
During this period, Bai Qi would experience life and learn knowledge in a normal human way. Although with the power of Eternal Fire, it was perfectly possible to directly send knowledge into Bai Qi's mind through telepathy, Bai Qi preferred a more traditional method.
Therefore, after Bai Qi had gained sufficient energy and basic knowledge, he chose to awaken her, allowing her to learn and progress like any other person.
This was the difference between Bai Qi and figures like Lex Luthor and the Illuminati. The Superboy cloned by the Illuminati was treated as a weapon, forbidden to think, only required to obey and execute. Sudannovel.com
This was not what Bai Qi wanted. Bai Qi wanted a living person. Using a clone as a weapon inherently limited its potential. Bai Qi wanted to maximize Bai Qi's potential.
Upon hearing Bai Qi's question, Lex Luthor rubbed his head with a troubled look and said, "Bai Qi asked me to send her to Dao Long. Compared to studying science, I think her accomplishments in magic will be greater."
Bai Qi's brow furrowed slightly, and he asked, "I don't care whether her accomplishments are in magic or science. I just want to know if you have completed the task assigned to you."
At this moment, Lex Luthor could clearly feel the air around him agitated, and the temperature in the room was slowly rising.
Lex Luthor quickly said, "Sir, Bai Qi was very resistant to studying science. Although I have completed the task you assigned me, I could tell, and that's why I..."
"I believe you are well aware of Bai Qi's uniqueness." Bai Qi interrupted him before he could finish.
Feeling the surrounding air gradually calm down, Lex Luthor breathed a long sigh of relief. However, he was still unclear about the uniqueness Bai Qi mentioned. He merely spoke his mind, "Sir, you want to nurture Bai Qi and make her the sharpest weapon in your hands."
"No." Bai Qi shook his head. "Your understanding of this world is still too superficial."
As he spoke, Bai Qi took out a watch face. It was engraved with the image of a magic dragon that bore a ninety percent resemblance to Bai Qi. The difference was that this watch face possessed a strong lightning power.
"Take this. With the power within, you will be able to see the true essence of the world more clearly."
Lex Luthor was not foolish. From the terrifying aura emanating from the watch face, he could infer that it was by no means an ordinary object. However, more than obtaining the powerful force within the watch face, as a scientist, Lex Luthor valued the "essence of the world" that Bai Qi mentioned even more.
The moment Lex Luthor took the watch face, a flood of power surged into his body. The immense impact force directly slammed Luthor against the wall. Accompanied by Luthor's heart-wrenching screams, streams of energy coursed through his meridians, causing him immense pain while also transforming his body.
Soon, dark green scales began to grow on Luthor's skin, a pair of small dragon horns sprouted on his head, his eyes became red vertical pupils, his hands and feet turned into dragon claws, and his entire body was entwined with crackling lightning.
Some might find it strange that the Holy Lord, a fearsome fire demon, would possess the primal power of lightning.
The reason is quite simple. Remember the lightning power Bai Qi extorted from Zhong Su when he released him? After a period of refinement, Bai Qi had long since assimilated this lightning power into his own strength.
However, as a fire demon, Bai Qi's proficiency in lightning magic was certainly not as good as Zhong Su's. Moreover, Bai Qi did not intend to waste time practicing lightning magic just because of this small amount of lightning power.
Perhaps he would consider it when Bai Qi had completely absorbed all of Zhong Su's power, but for now, it was best not to.
"I feel full of power."
Feeling the earth-shattering changes in his body, Lex Luthor was extremely excited. A casual wave of his hand unleashed lightning that blasted a hole in the adjacent wall.
It was worth noting that the materials used to construct this laboratory were the finest, not to mention that the room Luthor was in was the most fortified of all the laboratories.
Bai Qi was not surprised by this. Although it was only a small portion of that lightning power, it was still the power of a demon and carried Bai Qi's aura. It would be strange if it weren't powerful.
"Alright." Bai Qi raised his hand, stopping Luthor, who was excitedly reveling in his newfound power. "Take some time to process the memories you just received."
"Memories?"
Lex Luthor raised an eyebrow. Indeed, along with the power, unfamiliar memories had appeared in his mind. However, due to the intense pain and his current excitement, he had previously ignored them. Now, hearing Bai Qi mention them, Luthor dared not delay and quickly tried to recall them.
The more he recalled, the more shocked and unsettled Lex Luthor became.
The void, external invasions, world fragments, the Origin Wall – one unfamiliar term after another converged to form a massive amount of information, shattering Luthor's worldview.
"Sir, are... are these things all true?"
Lex Luthor's voice trembled, deeply shaken by the revelations.
"Do I have any reason to lie to you?"
