In the past, all my instincts, emotions, feelings, sensations, had already been enhanced many times. After eating another bone marrow, although it wasn't very noticeable, it was all improved. But it was incomparable to what was happening now.
Heat, cold, wind blowing, everything around felt completely different, much stronger and sharper. Things seemed much brighter and smells more intense. Though I had been able to separate them before, it was much easier now. I easily shied away from the smell of toxins and smelled grass, flowering plants, a hundred meters away from the warehouse. Try as I might, I doubt I'd been able to do that in the past. Same with sounds, I could easily recognize them and process them quickly. I was barely capable of that before, and to be able to pick up a few smells a hundred meters away was something to behold. Hearing was strong, but not that strong..... Now, not only was the distance increased, but also the ability to selectively pick out a few of them. In the past, I could cancel out extraneous noises, but it was very difficult to emphasize several sounds at once. Now, however, it wasn't difficult at all, and these were just my first attempts.... It was amazing... I have no idea what my limits are now, and this is just the tip of the iceberg. I haven't even begun to seriously test all the improvements.
I seem to have moved to a whole new stage of development....
After getting up, I walked over to my computer and decided to review the recorded video. Before starting all this, I set up my camera to capture some of the moments. I was still curious to see how I changed when I was unconscious, and everything that happened to me in the process.
Looking at the time, I wasn't faintly surprised. I'd expected all sorts of things, a week, a month, maybe more. But so little. Just 24 hours. It only took me one day to digest Supergirl's power. That was quite a change... I wonder what that has to do with.
Well, as it happens, it's a good thing, it'll be a chance to socialize with a weakened girl.
I turned on the tape, started rewinding, and in a couple of minutes I watched the whole thing quickly, catching every moment perfectly. What I saw was certainly not a pleasant sight.
It started with profuse sweating and turned into a toxin release. Then I started writhing in pain, and then I started bleeding. The pain was getting worse and I couldn't stand it, I started wriggling and screaming and broke all my limbs. But everything seemed to heal in the end.
Blood was coming from everywhere, even from my pores. Then, apparently, my eyes burst.... My skin started to peel off, and I looked like a corpse. By then, I'd already lost consciousness. It was hard to make out what was going on, I was covered in blood and black slime, and I was no longer visible. After about ten hours, the first movements began, the black and red liquid began to spread out because of the pinkish mucus that my body was secreting. Then I appeared, safe and sound. Everything was back to normal, and I looked quite healthy.....
"Well, not bad..." - With a satisfied nod, I closed the recording. If this kind of thing is a payment for great power, then why not be patient?
Okay, time to finally wash up.... I opened the door of the warehouse and quickly teleported away from the city. There was a river nearby, so I quickly plunged in.
«Haaah... - I exhaled contentedly. Only now, I finally fully felt the warmth of the sun and the pleasant coolness of the water. Even the air was cleaner in this place, having a pleasant natural smell....
I inhaled and exhaled with pleasure..... Turns out the sun is so warm. I had no idea. What I felt before wasn't even close. I felt like I was in another world, where everything was much more pleasant and beautiful.
Amazingly, I've consumed less than half of Kara's bone marrow. What happens when I eat a whole Kryptonian? What happens when I eat a few?
Definitely coming to this world was a great decision....
After washing off, I quickly moved to the flower meadow. Even the smell of the flowers was amazing.... But, I had already enjoyed the smells, so I should get down to business. I'll still have plenty of opportunities to have a good time. I didn't get my powers for this...
Concentrating, I decided to finally test the powers I had acquired. First of all, speed.
Without thinking, I ran. Trying to run as fast as I could, I unconsciously sped up.
*♪ Shh, shh, shh ♪
In a few seconds, I ran a couple of kilometers. In the past, I wouldn't have been able to do such a thing, I wouldn't have been able to achieve such a result. It wasn't fast enough to compete with Supergirl, much less Flash, but it wasn't bad.
After running for another ten minutes, I did hundreds of laps, but I still wasn't tired. If everything was as I thought, I could easily do this for hours. But I didn't really want to test my limits; it was time for another ability.
Physical strength was next in line. I had been stronger than ordinary people in the past, especially at the beginning of my journey when I possessed a huge weight because of Rust. But then my strength returned to normal, along with my weight. But so did my speed and my main feature, my durability. It wasn't even close to the Kryptonians, but it was good enough against simple attacks. As for strength, I was certainly not even comparable to Supergirl as a child. Not to mention her current version, and her future version wasn't even worth mentioning.
But now that my past power will combine with my newfound strength, I am quite a match for the weak Kryptonian who just arrived on earth.
Finding a large boulder nearby, I stood up in a stance and hit it with all my might.
*♪ BOOM! ♪
The stone didn't shatter, but I managed to break off a huge piece of it, making a large depression in the stone. My hand was slightly numb, but it was nothing.... In the past, I probably would have made several strong cracks with a blow like that. But now, I had cracked it. If I correctly assessed the current Supergirl's strength, she would be able to quite crack the entire stone with one blow, rather than one large chunk. What's more, she would be able to lift it, but I...
Getting comfortable and making a couple holes in the sides, I grasped and tried to lift the boulder.
«Gahhhh! - I strained with all my might and managed to get it off the ground, but to hold it for long.... After holding it for a couple of seconds, I let it go. It was too heavy, several tons at least.
I think my strength will be good enough to fight a girl, but I can hardly withstand a lot of attacks. In comparison, our fight would be like a lightweight guy fighting a heavyweight guy. It's a good fight, but it's not hard to predict the winner. Plus, I'll be behind not only in strength, but probably in speed as well, which will make things a lot harder. Of course, you can use skills and experience and level the playing field a bit, so it's not that bad. And besides this power, I have other powers. Anyway, I'm not really in the middle of a battle right now. The main task now is to learn all my powers and understand how they work.
