Tony and the others didn't even have the capacity to make a fuss, since they were too dumbfounded by the outrageous sight! Even Li Yue was stunned!
Right after Captain America opened his eyes, orange flames suddenly burst from his hands!
The flame grew from a single spark to a large conflagration, spreading to cover his entire body! He was enveloped in a raging fire, as if he was himself made of flames!
"Quick, save him! Jarvis, the fire suppression system—" Tony immediately barked Jarvis to activate the fire suppression system!
Even Captain America, with all his superhuman physique, wouldn't last very long within that fire!
"Wait, Tony! Steve is just awakening his superpower!"
The Captain in the experiment chamber didn't seem to be discomforted by the temperature that should be hot enough to melt steel. He even seem to enjoy it.
But the bed that he was on suffered heavy damage. The flammable materials had long been turned to ashes! Only the metal frame was left, and it was already glowing red. It should be close to melting!
"Is this the superpower that Steve awakened? This is incredible! His current temperature has exceeded a thousand degree Celsius; it's comparable to a forge! How can he withstand such temperature!
"And it's still rising, too! Perhaps he would reach 2000 degrees!"
Fortunately, Tony had anticipated unusual situations when he constructed the experiment room. He had used special material with exceptional strength. Even the glass he used for the observation window was tougher than steel!
Therefore, even with the Captain's egregious temperature, they didn't feel any heat outside!
...
"What are we going to do now? Are we going to let him continue burning like this? I am very confused. How could he even keep burning like that, what even is its fuel source?"
Tony was at a loss of words. Everything that have happened today were outside of his expectations! Including the Captain's awakened superpower; he had never seen anything like this in the simulations!
"Tony, you really shouldn't look for scientific explanation when talking about superpowers! Steve should be out of this state soon. How high is his current temperature?"
Li Yue's expression was unusually calm, but he was actually no less surprised than the others around him.
Of course, he wasn't really surprised by Captain America's flame temperature. His own laser sight could reach in excess of 6,000 degree Celsius, after all, several times higher than Captain America's!
Li Yue was surprised because he felt familiar with the superpower that Steve had awakened!
It was due to the similarity between the power that the Captain was awakening and the power of another superhero in the Marvel Universe.
It was a superhero called Human Torch, who had gained the power to turn into flames after being subjected to a cosmic radiation. It was very similar to the power Steve was awakening to!
And the most astonishing coincidence of it all was that the actor that played the role of Captain America in Li Yue's original world had also played the role of Human Torch! And he looked almost exactly like the real Captain America in front of Li Yue!
That was why Li Yue was exceedingly shocked by the kind of superpower that Captain America had awakened. Hell, he would've been less shocked had Captain America awakened powerful set of superpowers like Homelander!
Li Yue didn't know whether there was a special reason for this coincidence!
...
Captain America had sustained his burn for more than five minutes, yet his temperature was still rising!
Unfortunately, the temperature more or less stagnated when it reached 1900 degrees, never quite reaching 2000 degrees Celsius. But it was still an impressive temperature!
Under the spectator's attentive gaze, Steve's temperature peaked, before slowly declining!
The blazing flames around his body slowly dimmed, and his immolated state seemed to be released!
Extinguishing the flame was much faster than starting it. The flame around Captain America's body disappeared in just a few seconds, and it seemed that he was about to return to normal state!
"Cough, cough, Jarvis, close the window! I don't need to see some naked super soldier waving in front of us! Also remember to give him new clothes! I don't think he wants us to see him either!"
Tony hurriedly ordered to Jarvis when he realized what Captain America would look like after the Captain's clothes burned to ashes. He wanted to avoid any embarrassment!
The glass wall between the spectators and the room suddenly darkened, and they could no longer see Captain America!
Of course, this wouldn't be enough to block Li Yue's X-ray vision!
However, Li Yue did not have the habit of peeping others, let alone a man. He was not the slightest bit interested!
A minute later, the door finally opened from within, and the neatly dressed Captain America walked out of it!
"Sorry for making everyone wait. Is Thor back yet?"
Perhaps trying to hide his embarrassment, Captain America quickly changed the topic as soon as he came out. He felt a little embarrassed when he realized that his clothes were burned to ashes.
"It's fine, you don't have to be so flustered! We didn't see anything! More than that, why don't you tell us about your new superpower?"
Tony waved his hand as he walked closer to Captain America. His face was full of undisguised curiosity!
Tony's behavior was understandable. Everyone present was also curious about the superpower that Captain America had awakened!
Even Li Yue was very curious. Was Captain America's ability exactly the same as Human Torch? Although the displayed ability just now was very similar, there might be some differences!
"Cough, I don't know what happened either. After I got injected with the serum, I felt an unbearable pain in my body."
Captain America was a little embarrassed with the attention that Tony directed to him, but he relaxed a little after he heard that the spectators never saw his private parts. He then began describing his experience!
"While I was enduring the endless pain, a new strange sensation suddenly surged and faded in my body!"
