Roy followed behind Dr. Genus into his study.
Unexpectedly, there wasn't anything that screamed high-tech.
The decor exuded a geeky vibe, maximizing simplicity. Just a desk, a chair, and a computer constituted the workspace.
The rest of the room was filled with stacks of A4 paper.
They were densely covered with various experiment reports. Roy picked up one, which contained part of the research record on Carnage Kabuto.
"Don't mind those papers, they're just printed out. In modern society, it's more convenient to carry electronic files, right?" Dr. Genus sat in the chair, operating the computer. "I'll copy all the files for you and store them on a USB drive. Then, you can do whatever you want with them. But I suggest making multiple copies."
Looking up, Dr. Genus noticed Roy was earnestly reading the A4 paper in his hand. He asked, "Are you very interested?"
"I suppose so." Roy nodded. "But ultimately, I'm interested in my own supernatural ability... So naturally, I'm interested in similar aspects. Unfortunately, I don't have an exceptionally sharp mind, so I understand things relatively slowly."
"I see." Dr. Genus pushed his glasses up. "Do you need any help from me?"
"..."
Roy looked at Dr. Genus wordlessly.
Dr. Genus waved his hand and said, "Please don't suspect me of having ulterior motives. I'm just a scientist who's interested in this and hopes to delve deeper into understanding."
He looked at Roy.
Roy's supernatural ability is a special case distinct from any existing supernatural ability. Most supernatural abilities evolve from brain structure, leading to psychokinesis abilities. But Roy is obviously different. In other words, Roy is more likely to exhibit the characteristics of new humans.
He couldn't help but smile.
Honestly speaking, he wasn't planning to help Roy and then make Roy do something.
Regardless of whether Roy would agree or not, after witnessing the insane existence of Saitama, he wasn't planning to continue causing trouble.
In other words, he genuinely wanted to assist Roy in developing his abilities.
If one were to state a purpose, it would be to gain knowledge.
Before being a mad scientist, he was, first and foremost, someone who pursued knowledge and truth. Roy's uniqueness, in his eyes, was akin to placing a delicious feast in front of a starving person, a craving almost akin to a physiological need.
With a light cough, he said, "Roy, what do you think my biology can help you with?"
"I haven't agreed to let you help me yet."
"Then consider it?"
"I agree."
Roy could feel that Dr. Genus wasn't lying or harboring ill intentions.
His intuition was quite accurate, at least not wrong so far. So Roy felt he could trust his gut feeling. Moreover, there were contingency measures. If Dr. Genus did have ulterior motives, he had already deployed his Walrider and if anything happened, Dr. Genus would die instantly.
So limited cooperation was possible.
After some thought, Roy said, "Ultimately, my supernatural ability is a form of physiological activity. Although it has the most basic cognition, it's still a black box that only knows input and output. Biology... undoubtedly, it can help me gain a deeper understanding of my supernatural ability."
"Exactly." Dr. Genus snapped his fingers. "But Roy, how far have you come in understanding your abilities?"
"I have a rough idea that the evolution occurred in my bone marrow, which is part of the hematopoietic system."
"I see. So, it's highly likely that the blood cells in your body are part of your supernatural ability, right?" Dr. Genus said. "But the human hematopoietic system isn't just about the red bone marrow... One more question, Roy, have you undergone professional medical examinations?"
"Yes."
The one who conducted the examination for him was Yumemi Okazaki.
"It should have been some time, right? Although it's a bit boastful, in terms of medical equipment and hardware facilities, I'm confident I can compete with anyone." Dr. Genus raised his head and said, "If you trust me, Roy, I don't mind helping you with another examination. What do you think...?"
"Okay."
Yes!
If Roy weren't present, Dr. Genus would have been jumping with joy.
"But..." Roy's gaze sharpened, making Dr. Genus feel like a bucket of cold water had been poured over his head. He immediately calmed down, and Roy continued, "If you want my blood sample, I can give it to you without sneaking around. But there's one condition: it can't be used for unjust purposes. And I should rightfully own all the research findings derived from my blood sample. How about that?"
"Well, that's... uh, okay." Dr. Genus originally wanted to fight for his own rights, but Roy's refusal to compromise immediately snatched away all his research data, leaving him with nothing. So, he obediently yielded.
When under someone else's roof, one must bow their head.
Dr. Genus indeed didn't play any tricks, and he honestly conducted a thorough examination with his mysterious instruments.
As Dr. Genus reviewed the examination report, excitement spread across his face.
"Incredible... absolutely incredible!"
"How's the situation?"
"You should be aware of some of it, right? First, your blood cells. I think they're all substances derived from your supernatural ability because their specifications are almost the same... You know? Blood cells are classified into red blood cells, white blood cells, and the like." Seeing that Roy had a basic understanding, Dr. Genus continued, "But yours don't have these classifications. All your blood cells exhibit a kind of omnipotence and serve different blood cell functions in the best proportions. Performance-wise, they should be much stronger than those of ordinary people. At least, most of the viruses, bacteria, and toxins invading the body will be instantly captured and dealt with..."
He was very excited. "Do you know what this means, Roy? Your blood is more than just blood, calling it a panacea wouldn't be an exaggeration."
"A panacea..."
"Yes, it possesses capabilities that can be achieved without actual processing. I believe it's because of your blood cells. Your blood cells aren't just blood cells, they're your supernatural ability. From the most basic performance perspective, it's the reactivity that executes commands without needing to give them. Any abnormalities present in the individual's bloodstream... whether caused by pathogens, hereditary genetic diseases, or injuries... can all be resolved."
There's one more thing he didn't mention.
That is the anti-aging capability. From a biological perspective, aging isn't something organisms have from birth but rather an anomaly that occurs when organisms grow to a certain extent.
Roy's blood cells are capable of deeply repairing every cell in the body, so naturally, aging is included.
'Innate eternal youth...'
Regarding this function, Dr. Genus wasn't particularly concerned. After all, he also possessed technology related to rejuvenation and immortality. Despite appearing as a young man, he was actually over seventy years old. But physiologically speaking, apart from the skeletal and nervous systems, everything else was at the level of a young person.
Looking at Roy, who seemed lost in thought, Dr. Genus cleared his throat and continued, "However, what's known as the panacea is only the surface. I think you've probably noticed that the most outstanding aspect of your supernatural ability for biology is... self-transformation, or more accurately, autonomous selective evolution, am I correct?"
