Sorry for the delay over the last few days, guys.

Jack looked at the excited expressions on Alice, Ada, and White Queen's faces before raising an eyebrow.
"Listening to you explain it like that makes it sound incredibly powerful. But isn't there still one major problem?"
He pointed at the holographic human body floating before them.
"Have you forgotten? In your simulation, the X-Serum is still being hunted down by both the T-Cells and the Transformer Cells. It shouldn't even survive long enough to create X-Cells."
White Queen smiled slyly, as if she had been waiting for that question.
"Who said the X-Serum would die so easily?"
She snapped her fingers.
"Watch carefully."
The holographic projection immediately continued evolving.
Inside the bloodstream, the remaining X-Serum particles were still desperately fleeing from the combined pursuit of the T-Cells and Transformer Cells. Under the relentless pressure, they suddenly abandoned the bloodstream and escaped into the skin tissue.
However, the T-Cells and Transformer Cells showed no intention of letting them escape. They continued pursuing the X-Serum into the skin layer without hesitation.
With nowhere left to run, the X-Serum finally made a desperate decision.
Instead of continuing to resist as an invader...
...it chose to become part of the body itself.
Everyone watched as the green X-Serum rapidly fused with the ordinary skin cells.
This time, instead of corroding the cells like before, it merged with them completely.
"If it continued corroding the cells," White Queen explained, "the cells would eventually reach their limit, collapse, and explode."
"But fusion..."
"...is an entirely different concept."
One by one, the normal skin cells began changing.
Their cell membranes gradually turned light green.
The nuclei also transformed into the same emerald color.
Soon, countless brand-new cells appeared throughout the skin.
They glowed faintly with a pale green radiance.
The T-Cells and Transformer Cells immediately surrounded the newly formed cells.
Everyone instinctively held their breath.
Surprisingly...
...neither side attacked.
After observing the new cells for several seconds, the T-Cells slowly withdrew.
The Transformer Cells did exactly the same.
The three different cell types quietly coexisted inside the body.
White Queen smiled proudly.
"See?"
"This..."
"...is X-Cell."
Alice looked at the projection with unconcealed surprise.
"I honestly didn't expect it to succeed."
"Under the combined pressure of the T-Cells and Transformer Cells..."
"...the X-Serum actually chose to fuse with the skin cells instead."
"It created an entirely new type of cell."
White Queen nodded happily.
"Exactly."
"Of course..."
"...this is still only a simulation."
"I can calculate the most probable outcome with extremely high accuracy, but until someone actually injects the X-Serum..."
"...I can't say with absolute certainty what abilities the X-Cells will possess."
Jack folded his arms while staring at the projection.
"Everything here is based on your computational simulations."
"If I really inject X-Serum into my body..."
"...whether it truly forms X-Cells or not..."
"...is still an unknown."
Ada also nodded seriously.
"Exactly."
"What if something unexpected happens during the real experiment?"
"What if the simulation isn't completely accurate?"
White Queen waved her hand.
The holographic projections disappeared one after another until the room returned to normal.
"There has never been such a thing as obtaining great power without taking risks."
"Danger and opportunity always exist together."
Ada unconsciously glanced toward Jack.
Her eyes carried obvious concern.
Jack noticed it immediately.
White Queen also noticed it.
"You don't need to worry about him."
She shrugged casually.
"Even if he really injects the X-Serum..."
"...he won't die so easily."
"His life is practically that of a cockroach."
Jack looked at her helplessly.
"White Queen..."
"Did you just compare me to a cockroach?"
White Queen tilted her head.
"Was I wrong?"
Alice couldn't help laughing.
She then looked at Jack seriously.
"Jack..."
"If the X-Serum is eventually perfected..."
"...will you inject it?"
Jack's smile gradually disappeared.
His expression became unexpectedly serious.
"You know me."
"As long as there is a path toward becoming stronger..."
"...I will continue walking."
"There is no end."
"If I ever become satisfied with my current strength..."
"...then I'll eventually be surpassed."
"And the day someone surpasses me..."
"...may also become the day I die."
He slowly clenched his fist.
"Without enough strength..."
"...how can I protect myself?"
"And more importantly..."
"...how can I protect all of you?"
The room suddenly became much quieter.
White Queen suddenly shook her head.
"You forgot the two most important reasons."
Jack blinked.
"What?"
White Queen burst into laughter.
"How can you act cool without becoming stronger?"
"And how are you supposed to steal more women?"
Jack immediately gave her a thumbs-up.
"White Queen..."
"You understand me better and better."
Alice smiled gently before reaching over and rubbing White Queen's head.
"That's only natural."
"Her body was created from your own cells."
"Very few people understand you better than this little genius."
White Queen snorted proudly.
"Of course."
Ada suddenly remembered something.
"White Queen..."
"Have you already injected yourself with the T-Cells and Transformer Cells?"
White Queen nodded confidently.
"They already exist inside my body."
"They're currently adapting."
"I simply haven't reached the stage where I can fully display their power."
Jack became interested.
"How much power can you currently use?"
White Queen smiled mysteriously.
Without answering...
...her pupils suddenly changed.
Three tiny circular rings appeared inside her eyes.
The next instant—
Jack felt an overwhelming invisible force slam directly into his body.
Boom!
Even Jack couldn't remain standing.
He was forced backward several steps before barely stabilizing himself.
"What?"
Before he could react further—
White Queen had already disappeared.
She instantly appeared behind Jack with a mischievous smile.
Her tiny fist aimed directly at his backside.
Jack's figure instantly blurred.
He vanished.
The next moment, he appeared behind White Queen instead.
"I wanted to see you try sneaking up on me."
"You're still too inexperienced."
He reached out and grabbed her shoulders.
White Queen smiled without the slightest panic.
"You really think it's that simple?"
The moment she finished speaking...
...her body suddenly dissolved into countless Transformium particles.
Jack hugged nothing but empty air.
The golden particles floated gently to the ground before rapidly reforming.
A second later...
White Queen stood there again, smiling proudly.
"How was that?"
Ada stared with widened eyes.
"So she can already transform into Transformium particles..."
Alice also looked genuinely surprised.
"That's impressive."
Jack crossed his arms proudly.
"You should be praising me."
"If it weren't for me..."
"...White Queen would still just be an artificial intelligence."
"I was the one who gave her this body."
White Queen rolled her eyes.
"Yes, yes."
"You're the greatest."
Alice looked at White Queen thoughtfully.
"But you just said you couldn't fully utilize the T-Cells and Transformer Cells."
White Queen nodded.
"I can't."
"My control is still unstable."
"I can only maintain it for a short period."
"It's nowhere near as stable as Jack's."
"I still need more time."
Ada smiled warmly.
"Even so..."
"...you're already incredibly strong."
"Looks like we'll have to rely on you in the future."
White Queen proudly raised her chin.
"Leave everyone's safety to me."
"From now on..."
"...just follow me."
Alice laughed.
"We'll follow you..."
"...after you defeat Jack."
White Queen immediately sighed.
"That..."
"...is probably impossible right now."
"Defeating him is much harder than I originally imagined."
Jack smirked.
"I thought someone said surpassing me wouldn't be difficult."
White Queen shrugged helplessly.
"Fine."
"I was showing off."
"I admit it."
She quickly became serious again.
"Let's stop joking."
"The X-Serum still isn't ready."
"I need to continue improving it."
"I won't allow anyone to use it until I'm absolutely certain it's safe."
Jack waved his hand casually.
"You're the expert."
"I'll leave that entirely to you."
White Queen nodded.
"There's one more matter."
"It's related to you."
Jack immediately became interested.
"Related to me?"
"If it isn't about a beautiful woman..."
"...I'm not listening."
White Queen shot him an annoyed glare.
"Can your brain think about anything besides women?"
"I haven't even started speaking, and you're already regretting it."
Jack walked toward her with an evil grin.
"Are you sure you don't want to talk about beautiful women?"
"If not..."
"...should I use some force to persuade you?"
"I happen to enjoy that."
White Queen quickly took two steps back.
"I'll talk!"
"I'll talk!"
Her playful expression disappeared.
She looked directly into Jack's eyes and spoke seriously.
"Pepper..."
"...has been kidnapped."
