"Ah... I feel like I'm about to die."
As Lyon traversed through the void, his entire body felt drained, his limbs sore, as if his energy had been completely depleted.
Since awakening his Kryptonian bloodline, he hadn't experienced this kind of exhaustion. For a moment, he felt utterly miserable.
When he pierced through a thin membrane and arrived in the new world, regaining mobility, his appearance had become ghastly pale, with sunken eyes and a look of extreme fatigue.
"The sun... quickly, I need the sun..."
Weakly opening his eyes, Lyon immediately perked up in the next second.
"Huh? What's this feeling?"
Right in front of him, tens of thousands of kilometers away, there was a massive yellow sun blazing down on him!
The warm sunlight washed over his body.
After just a few breaths, Lyon was fully revived!
In an instant, he twisted his body, completely regaining his peak state, now brimming with vitality and energy!
"Ah, this feels amazing!"
Lyon stretched his arms and legs, feeling as powerful as ever. He glanced up at the sun again.
"I actually crossed over right in front of the sun?"
"What a coincidence. Could it be that the world consciousness here threw me over?"
He looked back in space, still seeing the familiar structure of the solar system.
Millions of kilometers away was the little blue planet he was all too familiar with.
"It's just a bit far from Earth. Even if there's no resistance in space, and I can keep accelerating, it'll still take a while to get there."
"I wonder what world this is."
"With such a massive energy cost... could this be the DC universe? If so, wouldn't the world consciousness here be God?"
Lyon looked around.
Since sound couldn't travel in space, he couldn't exactly shout for "God" to come and show themselves.
But in the next instant, an immense consciousness descended, connecting directly to Lyon's brainwaves.
[This is the Primordial Universe. I am not the world consciousness. I am the Original Will.]
Oh, great.
This time, it wasn't some naive consciousness like the one from the Resident Evil world—it was someone who could talk back.
"Wait.. Primordial Universe? Original Will? That sounds... oddly familiar." Lyon stroked his chin thoughtfully.
[Your strength is too weak. You can't help me. Leave.] The Original Will sounded rather disappointed.
Lyon froze for a moment, then suddenly felt a repelling force pushing against him, as if it intended to eject him from the universe entirely.
What?
Getting kicked out without even an explanation?
He quickly sent a mental response back. "Wait, what do you mean? What danger are you facing that you need my help for? At least explain first!"
[I don't know.]
"You don't know? Then that's even more reason you need me! I can help you figure out what the danger is!"
[Stellar-level—too weak.]
It was the first time Lyon had ever been dismissed as "too weak."
"You're calling me weak? Wait a second, stellar-level... Could this be the Starry Sky world where they cultivate genetic primordials?"
Lyon swallowed hard.
In the Starry Sky universe, the Primordial Universe was an enormous macro-universe, with a diameter reaching an astounding 100 trillion light-years.
A single Marvel universe spans only about 100 billion light-years in diameter.
But beyond the Primordial Universe lay the boundless Cosmic Sea.
And above that? The Origin Continent and the Chaotic Source World!
The highest power levels in this universe could rival Marvel's One Above All (OAA).
With such a vast and monumental setting, no wonder traversing to this place required so much energy.
"I'm weak now, sure, but I can become incredibly strong in the future! Trust me, Original Will!" Lyon quickly pleaded. "Just believe in me!"
He was desperate to stay.
[Come back when you've reached True God status.] The Original Will responded.
Lyon's eye twitched.
Oh, great.
The gap between his current strength and that of a True God was a trillion-fold, at the very least. How long would that take?
And yet, his eyes shone with excitement.
This was a monumental opportunity, a grand chance of a lifetime!
In a super universe like Swallowed Star, having direct communication with the Original Will could only mean one thing:
Endless fortune and possibilities! It meant that he was the Child of Destiny in this world!
"Wait, wait!" Lyon hurriedly intervened. "Don't be so quick to kick me out!"
"Think about it—if I stay here and grow, wouldn't I become a True God faster? Wouldn't I be able to help you sooner?"
Lyon sensed that the Original Will's attitude toward him was fairly favorable. It felt like there was room for negotiation.
For a supreme being like the Original Will of a mega-universe to willingly converse with a "mere stellar-level" individual was already unbelievable. Lyon didn't need to overthink it—clearly, his world-hopping ability was playing a pivotal role here.
All he could say was that his original world's bestowed ability was simply amazing!
Grasping this crucial point, Lyon pressed on, "You let me traverse here in the first place, which means you see potential in my growth, right? Give me a chance!"
The Original Will didn't respond immediately. It seemed to be weighing the options.
[You have three hundred years.] After a long pause, it finally relented.
"Perfect! More than enough!" Lyon beamed. Three hundred years was plenty of time to learn and grow.
[You are incompatible with this world's rules. Do you accept modification?] The Original Will sent another thought.
"What kind of modification?" Lyon asked cautiously.
[Original Source Modification: Adaptation to Supreme Rules.]
"Alright, bring it on!"
He could roughly guess the reason.
After all, he wasn't native to this world. Without modification, it was likely he wouldn't even be able to cultivate within the Swallowed Star world's power system.
While the effects of the modification were unknown, an opportunity to directly connect to a power system surpassing multi-dimensional levels was right before him—there was no way he could let it slip by!
In the Marvel universe, Lyon knew that most methods of becoming stronger were often leaps in power.
Moreover, after such leaps, further progress was almost impossible. Take Spider-Man and Sentry, for instance—both gained their strength through serendipitous opportunities, after which their power levels essentially plateaued.
In Marvel, it could be said that gaining strength was entirely reliant on chance. Finding a systematic and methodical way to grow stronger was exceedingly rare.
Now, with a structured and practical path to power within his grasp, Lyon wasn't about to miss the opportunity.
Lyon had to admit, he felt much more secure with a system where effort would directly lead to rewards.
The moment he conveyed his agreement, an immense cosmic energy descended upon him out of nowhere.
Wrapped in this energy, Lyon couldn't perceive its entirety. But from Earth's perspective, it looked as if a corner of the sun was suddenly obscured by colossal black clouds and cosmic lightning.
The Primordial Will's modification began swiftly and ended just as quickly, with no pain whatsoever.
Lyon felt as though he were submerged in a warm spring. A soothing current flowed through every cell in his body.
His blood seemed to turn golden, and each bone underwent a profound transformation. Even the depths of his genes experienced an evolutionary leap of some kind.
It wasn't just his physical body—Lyon felt as if his very soul had become clearer, his mental state inexplicably calm and serene.
When he opened his eyes again, a flood of divine clarity and knowledge surfaced in his mind.
[Species: Special Lifeform]
Gene Multiplier: 100
Innate Abilities: Immortality, Body of Light, Solar Evolution, Temporal Biokinetic Field…
"Too powerful!" Lyon's excitement surged like the moment he first awakened his bloodline.
As he swung a fist, he could feel his strength had increased by at least a hundredfold!
It turned out that the "modification" mentioned by the Primordial Will was about transforming him into a special lifeform unique to this world.
—Not only had his genes been perfected and his various superpowers integrated into this world's framework, but he had also been granted innate abilities like immortality and a hundredfold gene multiplier.
Lyon suppressed his inner excitement and began analyzing each of his newly acquired abilities.
The so-called "Special Lifeform" referred to entities in the Swallowed Star world that were naturally born from the Primordial Universe and incapable of reproduction.
These lifeforms were innately powerful, with a minimum baseline of 100 times the normal gene level.
They could easily achieve eternal immortality, vastly surpassing ordinary Kryptonians in strength.
Of course, the so-called inability to reproduce only applied within the confines of the Primordial Universe.
This restriction was designed to prevent the infinite proliferation of powerful special lifeforms.
Once Lyon left this universe, such limitations would naturally no longer apply.
Now, about the gene multiplier:
In this world, the basic genetic strength of life was set at 1.
The gene multiplier represented the magnification of this basic strength.
For every additional multiple, the strength of a being's physical body, energy, and affinity with universal laws would also double accordingly.
This could be considered a talent-based attribute.
At this moment, Lyon's gene multiplier was at 100, meaning his genetic foundation had been increased a hundredfold compared to when he first arrived.
His single-arm strength, which was initially two million tons, had now skyrocketed to an incredible two hundred million tons.
This was the fortune of a super-universe.
Even crumbs spilled from the hands of the Primordial Will were enough to bring earth-shattering changes to Lyon.
