Alas…"
The Ancient One let out a long, faint sigh.
Her profound gaze pierced through layers of obstruction, directly observing Wanda, who was meticulously studying the foundational basics of magic on the training ground.
It had to be said, Wanda's magic talent was so exceptional it made one question reality!
She could even easily surpass Stephen Strange, Doctor Strange, who would only arrive at Kamar-Taj to seek mentorship four years later!
If not for the restless Chaos Magic within her, even the Ancient One would feel extremely wary.
Perhaps she would truly consider taking Wanda as her direct disciple.
And then let her inherit the title of Sorcerer Supreme…
For this, the Ancient One had once attempted to use the Eye of Agamotto and the Time Stone's power to observe Wanda's future life trajectory.
But the results greatly exceeded her expectations.
Several attempts all ended in failure!
And before this, the Ancient One had only encountered such "unobservable" situations with Karl, a Dimensional God.
What's going on?
Could it be that this girl's destiny was influenced by that guy?
Thinking of this, the Ancient One couldn't help but shake her head helplessly.
"I hope I haven't made a mistake this time…"
...…
…
With the help of Daniel, Karl and Frank only took a few seconds to successfully return to Sokovia.
Then Karl convened a meeting of Hyperspace Group's high-level executives, including Zemo.
He publicly appointed Frank as the Base Commander of the Caucasus Base, while also serving as the Chief Instructor of Hyperspace Group's security forces.
Frank was given full responsibility for the daily militarized training of all armed personnel, regular training, combat assessments, and recruitment of new recruits, among many other tasks.
Karl believed that with Frank's addition, it wouldn't be long before the combat effectiveness and military professionalism of the security forces would be elevated to a World-class standard!
By then.
Whether performing special operations missions abroad or defending the Group's interests domestically, this team would become the sharpest weapon in his hands.
"Very good, everything is finally starting to get on track…"
Karl was very satisfied with the team he had personally built.
From being a prisoner at the beginning of his transmigration to now being the master of a trillion-dollar business empire, he had only taken half a month.
Moreover, both the Subspace Dimension and the Hyperspace Group were growing rapidly!!
It was truly a model of starting from scratch.
"Huh? Why haven't I seen that kid Pietro?"
After the meeting, Karl called Zemo over and asked.
"Boss, he… seems to have fallen in love."
Zemo hesitated slightly, then reminded in a deep voice:
"However, I always feel there's something wrong with his romantic partner. I've already sent people to secretly investigate her true identity."
"A new girlfriend?"
Karl frowned slightly, vaguely sensing a hint of conspiracy.
Somehow.
A "familiar" face subconsciously appeared in his mind.
Wait a minute… It couldn't be that woman, could it?!
After some thought, Karl first instructed Zemo to, on behalf of the Hyperspace Group, recruit elite talents from various industries worldwide with high salaries to cope with the accelerated expansion in the future.
Then he pulled out his phone and directly called Pietro.
The phone rang twice before being answered.
However.
First, there was a rustling sound.
Then came Pietro's slightly flustered voice, "Karl, you're back?!"
"Yes."
Karl calmly asked, "How's the situation at the Mountain Top Base?"
"Ah, everything's normal."
Pietro seemed to suddenly remember something and quickly added:
"Oh, right, yesterday the researchers unlocked an original formula for the Super Soldier Serum from the system-encrypted files left by Hydra."
"It's said that this formula can be traced back to a scientist named Abraham Erskine during World War II…"
Karl's eyes immediately lit up upon hearing this.
The so-called Super Soldier Serum generally referred to the perfect serum injected into Captain America during World War II, meticulously refined by Dr. Erskine.
It could enhance the user's metabolism, improving all physical functions such as strength, senses, reaction ability, and brain utilization.
Thus reaching the peak of human potential!!!
Putting other things aside.
If only considering the physical fitness data.
Then Captain America's physical fitness was at least four times that of an ordinary person!
And this was precisely what Karl needed most at this stage.
It was simply like wishing for something and getting it!!!
If he could truly elevate his physique to Captain America's level.
Then, correspondingly, the energy Karl received from the Warp would also increase by at least four times!
By then, his overall strength would inevitably undergo a qualitative leap.
At this moment, Pietro continued on the phone:
"But unfortunately, the researcher said that even with the original formula in hand, they couldn't develop a perfect Super Soldier Serum with their current level of expertise."
"Baron Strucker had made many attempts before, but without exception, all ended in failure…"
Damn it (a kind of plant)!!
I said, why are you dragging out your words, kid?
Karl calmed his mind, and the expression on his face also became solemn.
Indeed, he had been a bit too presumptuous just now.
He thought that by getting the original formula for the Super Soldier Serum, he would be able to manufacture it.
But the reality was quite the opposite.
To successfully manufacture the Super Soldier Serum.
The developer needed to have extremely deep attainments in many fields such as genetics, genetic engineering, and bioengineering.
In fact, over the years, neither S.H.I.E.L.D. nor Hydra, and even the Department of Defense led by General Ross, had ever given up on experiments to replicate the Super Soldier Serum.
However.
In the decades after Dr. Erskine's death.
No one had been able to fully decipher the key parts of the original formula.
To replicate the perfect version of the Super Soldier Serum, like Captain America's.
Until later.
Only 4 genius scientists, including Arnim Zola,
Howard Stark,
Bruce Banner,
and Wilfred Nagel, successfully imitated four different versions of the Super Soldier Serum.
But they could all only be considered sub-par products.
They often only enhanced one or a few aspects of strength, metabolism, senses, or reaction ability.
They simply couldn't achieve the comprehensive improvement like Captain America.
Let alone stimulating the user's potential to the peak of humanity!!!
However, even so, these four different versions of the serum also created many powerful Super Soldiers, including Bucky Barnes,
Isaiah Bradley,
Hulk,
Abomination,
as well as 5 Winter Soldiers,
and 8 Flag-Smashers!
The situations of Hulk and Abomination are relatively special.
Their true source of power should be cell mutation caused by gamma ray radiation.
So they can only barely be considered accidental byproducts of the Super Soldier Serum.
As for other similar "temporary Super Soldier serums" from companies like IGH,
and inferior imitations like the Hydra serum, which can give users strength and physique far beyond human for a certain period but cause severe cardiac load and mental effects.
They were simply not within Karl's consideration!!!
Thanks to the big shot with the last four digits "2781" for casting 1 monthly ticket, much appreciated!!!
