She estimated that upon waking, she would rather immediately immerse herself in research.
After a moment of hesitation, Aaron looked at Barbara.
Oh, she was still studying with Kate at this hour.
As for Skye... she had already discussed billions in business with Aaron, and not having recovered, she was now completely out of the picture.
Aaron sighed, "One regrets the lack of books when they are needed, but one can never have too many women!"
"Felicia, arrange a plane for me. I'm going to New Mexico alone."
Felicia rolled her eyes, then weakly picked up her phone to contact a private jet.
After notifying the other party, the itinerary was arranged, and the airport in New Mexico also began preparations.
Aaron went to the storage room as usual.
Then he had the insect shop owner bring the items, paid a considerable sum, and dismissed the man.
This time, most of the abilities were repetitive and not as strong as before, offering little improvement.
He also melted some plants this time.
Aaron had already made up his mind.
All species on Earth were to be melted down.
Even species from the entire universe had to be acquired.
After all, melting one or two made no difference; he might as well melt them all.
Absorbing all beneficial traits into himself was the first step towards omnipotence.
After melting these plants, the biggest improvement was his increased efficiency in absorbing light energy.
Besides that,
there was another decent improvement.
[Super Respiration: Similar abilities detected and merged. You possess more efficient respiratory capabilities. Every pore and every cell on your body can now breathe, allowing normal respiration even underwater.]
Super Respiration also merged with abilities like light energy absorption and kinetic energy absorption, evolving into more efficient energy absorption.
His efficiency in absorbing various unowned energies around him further improved.
Every cell, every pore, was like a greedy glutton, frantically devouring ambient energy, as well as the energy from the sun's core.
When unseen by outsiders,
his body's interior was like a high-speed machine, undergoing earth-shattering changes every moment.
Every day, he felt himself growing stronger.
This was not an illusion.
From large organs to cellular structures, he could clearly perceive their changes.
Every reserve, consumption, and distribution of energy, every birth and death of a cell... he knew it all clearly!
It was precisely because of this
that he understood the terrifying changes occurring within his body.
If someone were to study him at this moment,
they would surely exclaim: Impossible, absolutely impossible!
Let's put it this way: the energy contained in each of his cells far exceeded that of a conventional human missile.
After another period, each cell would be comparable to Tony Stark's Mark I Arc Reactor.
Perhaps a few months later, it could even rival or far surpass Tony Stark's Mark II Reactor.
And he had a hundred trillion such cells!
If displayed numerically,
a Mark I Arc Reactor outputs three billion joules per second for fifteen minutes, with a total energy of approximately 2.7 * 10^12 joules, enough to easily blow up a high-rise building.
The Mark II Arc Reactor is a thousand times more powerful than the Mark I, at 10^15 joules. If this power were to explode simultaneously, it could even destroy a small town.
Therefore, with Aaron's current conventional strength, destroying a city is effortless.
Destroying a country is also not difficult.
Even more aggressively, for example, by releasing a few more solar cores and detonating them like bombs... that power would be enough to make people despair.
However,
with current human technology, studying Aaron's body is not easy.
Even a single cell is enough to withstand all known human technology.
Therefore, Aaron is not worried about any residual cells falling into the wrong hands.
No matter how they study him, they will never catch up to Aaron's growth rate!
Aaron declared: You can research and chase all you want; if you even see my exhaust, I lose!
"Speaking of which, I'm definitely stronger now than Henry after thirty years in the sun. I just wonder who is stronger, me or Odin?"
Aaron thought for a moment and felt he had a good chance of winning.
After all, he was too versatile.
And Odin was too old.
If he were two thousand years younger, they might have had a good fight.
Aaron took a deep breath, temporarily pushing these thoughts aside.
Stepping onto the private jet alone, looking at the empty cabin, Aaron always felt something was missing.
"A few busty flight attendants are missing!"
Aaron suddenly realized.
He immediately thought of asking Felicia to find two suitable ones.
But after some consideration,
he decided to find them himself.
The main reason was that the current environment wasn't good; who knew if Felicia's choices would be agents sent by someone else.
If Aaron had a bigger appetite,
he might even be able to establish a "mini United Nations."
That feeling would be incredibly satisfying.
Aaron closed his eyes in contemplation; the feeling of being alone wasn't great.
Perhaps it was due to his rapid increase in power and the excessive number of abilities he had melted, but Aaron always felt a strong surge of inner fire.
"It's definitely not my true nature; yes, it's an ability issue!"
Three hours later,
Albuquerque airport.
"Look, isn't that Mr. Aaron, the CEO of Osborn Group?"
"Oh my god, it's him!"
"I'm going to ask him for an autograph!"
Aaron glanced at the surrounding crowd, then left through the VIP channel specially opened by the airport.
He got into the bulletproof Rolls-Royce arranged by the New Mexico Osborn branch and headed directly to Old Bridge City.
However, halfway there,
a storm suddenly erupted ahead, with thunder dragons roaring incessantly in the sky,
and a hurricane sweeping through the desert, kicking up tens of thousands of tons of sand.
"Boss, should we leave now and come back when the weather is better?"
"Keep going!"
Aaron looked up at the sky through the car window.
In that instant, he saw a figure falling from the sky.
"Head in that direction!"
Aaron pointed northwest, and the driver immediately complied.
Although he didn't understand what this strange new boss wanted to do, it had nothing to do with him.
After all, if the boss, a billionaire, wasn't afraid, what did he, a subordinate, have to fear?
Aaron, sitting in the back, was carefully experiencing the chaotic magnetic storm.
He possessed electromagnetic control, but he wasn't proficient with this ability.
He had only been in this world for a little over a week and had acquired dozens of abilities.
There simply wasn't enough time to develop each one individually.
It was only at times like these
that he could carefully experiment with these less-used abilities.
Gradually,
the thunder in the sky seemed to get closer and closer, the sound of thunder seemingly right above them, threatening to fall at any moment.
The driver looked at the sky in confusion, "Boss, something seems off? This thunder... it's getting closer?"
"We seem to be in the eye of the storm..."
He checked the signal, his face paling slightly, "The signal here is severely affected by the electromagnetic storm. If we go any deeper, we'll lose contact with the outside."
"Don't worry about it. Your pay for this trip will be tripled. Keep going!"
Aaron continued his experiment without looking up.
He was attempting to control the surrounding magnetic field and manipulate the power of the thunder in the sky.
With electromagnetic control and thunder control, he theoretically could also control this supreme natural power.
But he needed time to make these elements obey his will and act as an extension of himself.
Moreover, there seemed to be another force outside influencing the surrounding space,
so the process of clarifying the magnetic field lines and controlling the thunder was not easy.
He was contending with that force!
At the same time,
Aaron also diverted some of his attention,
attempting to control the wind with his qi.
Having mastered qi control,
theoretically, he already possessed the power to control wind.
Wind is a natural phenomenon caused by the horizontal movement of air.
Mastering qi, he could naturally be considered a master of wind.
If he wished, he could manipulate qi on a large scale to create hurricanes and tornadoes.
Aaron was multitasking, doing three things at once:
He was taming the wind, sorting out the magnetic field, and simultaneously domesticating the thunder.
His struggle against nature caused the electromagnetic signals in the surrounding environment to fluctuate wildly.
