Hiss--

The pale green serum slowly flowed into Luo Mang's veins.

As the serum entered his bloodstream, that faint green hue spread through Luo Mang's body via the veins in his arm.

What followed was a bone-chilling coldness.

The coldness spread from within, and even Luo Mang couldn't help but slightly clench his fist.

He did this to counteract the frost-like invasion.

A wave of weakness surged through his body, as if every cell was thirstily absorbing.

If Luo Mang wasn't seated in a wheelchair, he might have already collapsed to the ground.

But after a brief chill.

An unstoppable heat immediately followed, as if a furnace was churning around Luo Mang.

Under the heat, every pore seemed to have a tiny claw scratching at it, unbearably itchy!

"You... Luo!!"

At this moment, Connors looked as if he was witnessing the birth of something terrifying.

He instinctively opened his mouth wide, staring blankly at Luo Mang in the wheelchair.

"What... what's happening to me?"

Thanks to the permanent liberation of his brain state, Luo Mang's mind quickly regained clarity.

Hearing Connors' words, Luo Mang instinctively looked down at his own body.

The orderly array of dark green scales, each one crafted like a masterpiece by a skilled artisan.

Even in this underground laboratory, they emitted a subtle, deep glow.

At this moment, they were 'breaking through the shell,' with remnants of Luo Mang's skin and clothing still clinging to them.

Luo Mang turned his head to the side, using the reflection in the transparent glass to observe his current form.

The armor-like green scales extended from Luo Mang's neck down to his feet.

Rather than scales, they resembled a meticulously chosen suit of armor, perfectly protecting every part of Luo Mang's body.

The tail at his back swung unconsciously, the sudden addition of a limb felt strange to Luo Mang.

Although his face showed no change, Luo Mang's pupils glowed with that deep, dark green.

If the previous Luo Mang resembled a learned and kind scholar.

Then the current Luo Mang was more like a refined general from another world, exuding an indescribable restlessness amidst his elegance.

"Luo, are you okay?"

Connors swallowed, walking over to Luo Mang, raising his hand as if to touch the scales on Luo Mang's body, but restrained himself, awkwardly lowering it.

"I'm great, better than ever!"

With just a slight exertion of his arm, the metal wheelchair twisted and deformed.

Luo Mang's eyes, glowing with a dark green hue, revealed his delight.

Since arriving in the Marvel Universe, it was the first time Luo Mang experienced such a significant emotional shift.

After this wondrous 'first,' Luo Mang once again found the feeling he had before.

Carefully sensing the changes in his body, there was no discomfort at all.

Now, Luo Mang felt as if he was constantly immersed in warm water, the sensation of gaining power left him somewhat intoxicated.

But, almost in the next second!

Luo Mang's expression suddenly changed!

A strong sense of danger began to emanate from his body!

"Why!"

With a sudden exertion, the entire wheelchair instantly fell apart, scattering into countless pieces on the ground.

Without the support of the wheelchair, Luo Mang fell to the floor with a thud.

Looking at his powerless legs, Luo Mang couldn't understand!

In his mind, the data on the Regeneration Serum from the past month flashed continuously.

Luo Mang's brain, like a precision computer, was frantically recalling and analyzing all the data.

But in the end, he found everything was verified without error, which left Luo Mang even more disappointed.

If the earlier emotional fluctuation was Luo Mang's first intense emotional wave since entering the Marvel Universe.

Then this time, it broke the previous record, and the sense of defeat in Luo Mang's heart was unparalleled.

Decades of planning, only to stumble at the first step!

This was an emotion Luo Mang hadn't experienced since acquiring MTZ-8.

The smooth sailing all along had raised his expectations too high.

But... where exactly was the problem?

"This is impossible, I've verified the data countless times without rest, this situation shouldn't occur!"

Seeing Luo Mang's reaction, Connors couldn't help but realize that Luo Mang's body had failed to recover.

Looking at Luo Mang, Connors hung his head, muttering the same phrase under his breath.

This was his life's work, his constant hope.

If Luo Mang failed, wouldn't that mean he also had a high probability of failure?

"But, it has happened."

After a bout of venting, Luo Mang calmly turned his head, looking at Connors.

But from his current perspective, the first thing that caught his eye was Connors' severed arm.

The severed area was still the same white skin tone as Connors' body.

The grotesque appearance formed by the bone-close cut was hard to ignore.

A severed arm...

A severed arm!

Looking at Connors' exposed stump, the light in Luo Mang's eyes reappeared.

"Did you think of something? The error?" Connors couldn't help but ask.

"No."

Luo Mang shook his head, the previous sense of defeat completely gone.

A smile appeared on his lips, and Luo Mang felt a subtle excitement.

"If it's as I think... give me one day, and I'll give you an answer!"

......

"Luo, are you... sure you want to do this?"

Peter looked reluctantly at the half-human-height sharp electric saw in his hand, his head slightly bowed.

His gaze swept over Luo Mang's scales.

The infamous ruthless Spider-Man, who had slaughtered countless gang members, now found his palms sweating.

If not for Luo Mang's request, Peter would never harm a single hair on Luo Mang's head.

"Of course, Peter, this is my only hope to stand up."

Luo Mang maintained a smile, the reflection of the half-human-height saw in the stark white light was somewhat dazzling, but it didn't affect Luo Mang's determination in the slightest.

"If that's your wish, I'll carry it out!"

After a moment of silence, Peter no longer hesitated.

He gripped the electric saw tightly, placing it against Luo Mang's legs.

Buzz--

Sizzle--!

The terrifying sound that made one's skin crawl echoed in the darkness.

Luo Mang didn't cry out in pain.

After taking the modified NTZ-48, Luo Mang could freely manipulate his pain perception mechanism.

Facing Peter's actions, he could only feel the scorching sensation from the friction of the saw.

However, with the loss of blood, his face appeared somewhat pale.

Yet, under the effect of the Regeneration Serum, the lost blood could regenerate in an extremely short time.

Accompanied by Peter's rhythm, an extremely comical scene unfolded.

Luo Mang felt like his current state resembled a face-changing act he had seen before, except he could only change between two colors.

Although Luo Mang's scales were hard, they couldn't withstand the continuous grinding of the saw and Peter's immense strength.

Before long, this large-scale operation was complete.

Even though he was the main character of this operation, the smile on Luo Mang's face grew wider, the curve of his lips more pronounced.

At this moment!

He could clearly feel a warm current rapidly circulating in his legs.

He was right!
