As James stood there, he felt his body absorbing massive amounts of energy to the extent that James felt as though if he stayed any longer, he would explode.
Of course, this was not true since his Metagene could absorb and convert a limitless amount of energy and Kryptonians could process massive amounts of energy and use the energy to strengthen themselves but James felt extremely full so he immediately took off for Earth with a massive smile on his face.
Arriving back at the farm, James immediately started cleaning up everything that had been disarranged while he was chasing Eobard.
He didn't want his family to know and they probably wouldn't but then there was Clark who could see through walls and had telescopic vision.
James didn't know if Clark had seen him or not but it honestly didn't matter to him because he knew that the real fight had occurred out of Clark's current range.
"Kelex can you help me to analyse this" James said as he returned to his makeshift 'lab'. The place was slowly turning into a real lab as more and more equipment was moved into the space
[Okay Sir] Kelex replied as usual in an emotionless tone.
James placed the glove on one of the equipment in the space as the A.I scanned it thoroughly.
[Sir the materials used in making this are beyond my current capabilities but it is easy to tell that it was made using two different metals. One being regular steel found on Earth and the other being an unknown metal that I can't get a good reading of] Kelex replied
"Steel huh?.... So it isn't Pure Nth metal then" James thought,
He wasn't surprised that Kelex wouldn't be able to identify the metal or even be able to scan to do so in any way since Nth metal isn't exactly something anyone understands.
Even the Thanagarians who had a decent understanding of the metal didn't understand it fully well.
That Thanagarian villain Cypher whatever his last name was, Understood the metal extremely well to the extent that he was able to gain God-like powers as he made a body of Nth metal for himself.
Nth Metal was a type of metal just a little bit less powerful than the metal of creation.
Element X.
Both metals have the same qualities but Element X is just built differently in the sense that everything you do with the metal is blown out of proportion.
Make a computer with it and boom!! You have a cosmic computer which can do everything and knows all aka Motherboxes.
Make an armor with it and boom!! You're a god who can manipulate reality to your will. Nth metal is the same but in lesser proportions though can become just as powerful if close to the source.
Nth metal is able to warp reality, create God computers and all that nonsense but that is only under the condition that it is exposed to energy from the source.
Basically Nth Metal is just Element X that needs extra energy. James, knowing this, started creating plans to not only acquire more of the metal but also to create miracles with it.
Nth metal just like Element X could bond to a user and bend to that user's will and it didn't matter the amount that was bonded to said person.
Thanagarian didn't become supremely powerful in the universe because even they didn't have the metal in abundance though it could only be found on their planet.
They didn't truly understand the metal they had as they only knew of its basic abilities like negating gravity, healing, life support etc.
They didn't know about the fact that abundance didn't matter to this metal.
Just the act of bonding with it can let the user expand the metal to any length, width or size.
Basically, this was a metal that ignored all laws and just did what it liked though that was if it was allowed access to the source.
The Thanagarians didn't know of this fact which was proven by the fact that they always mixed the metal with a different substance….. or it was because they once knew about its properties but it was used for unspeakable evil so they started the practice of mixing it with other metals.
Either way, it didn't matter to James since the planet was long gone.
"Kelex would melting and refining the metal separate it from the steel" James asked
Nth Metal doesn't really have a melting point but steel does and if the glove should be heated up. The steel should melt right off.
[No sir, that would remove some of the steel but not all] Kelex replied
"Well doesn't matter, I have a lot of time ahead of me" James said after all there was no need to rush.
He was already powerful enough to demolish one of the most powerful men In the universe and he was only 5 years old. Nth metal may give him extra powers and protection but it wasn't needed.
He and Kelex would probably find some way to separate the two metals in future leaving behind pure nth metal which would then be used in any way he liked.
Speaking of Kelex, James hadn't seen the body, Kelex created but from the pictures he had seen. He could tell that it was definitely human-looking.
James didn't know if the body was fully human or not but he wasn't worried after all the body looked exactly like a human.
At least enough to fool everyone but unfortunately for Earthlings, Kelex built it based on Kryptonian physiology meaning the body was far stronger and more durable than anything humanity has dealt with.
James didn't know exactly how powerful the body was but he knew that it was probably on par with the Eradicator or less.
As for the Scheme, Kelex was supposed to run. Let's just say he failed and succeeded at the same time.
In basic terms, Kelex didn't design a Ponzi scheme. The little bastard created a massive company.
Yes, he still took money from the people but they all gained even more than he did so it wasn't a scheme though due to the sheer size of the amount of people involved in the scheme, Kelex and in extension, James was now 18 billion dollars richer.
Of course, James didn't know what to do with the money so he just left it to Kelex to use to continue funding his 'scheme'
