[bonus chapter for Powerstones]
After completing the charge via the Wheel of Fortune, Peter could feel a violent, primal energy saturating every corner of his being.
The surging electricity didn't burn; instead, it brought an indescribable sense of euphoria, as if every cell in his body was cheering at the high-frequency stimulation.
"Peter, you..."
Dr. Connors, standing nearby, watched with twitching eyelids as fine arcs of blue lightning crackled around Peter's frame. He instinctively took two steps back.
The scene before him had officially defected from the realm of biology and entered something... else.
"Just a new ability, Doctor. Don't worry, I have full control. No side effects," Peter explained briefly. He activated his Byakugan, peering inward to observe the internal alchemy.
He discovered that in this "fully charged" state, his cellular activity was off the charts. His physical functions weren't just enhanced; they were overclocked.
It felt exactly like the "Cellular Activation" Sasuke Uchiha achieved with Lightning Style, but on a much more exaggerated scale.
His strength, speed, and neural reaction times were skyrocketing.
"Doctor, time me." Peter tossed a stopwatch from a nearby workbench to Connors.
The scientist caught it, looking dazed. A second later, Peter vanished.
Connors blinked. A blur of pale blue lightning streaked across the massive lab and back in a single return sprint. The move was so fast he thought he had hallucinated the movement entirely.
"Well?" Peter's voice sounded right beside his ear.
Connors snapped out of it and looked down at the watch. His mouth fell into an 'O' shape. The numbers were impossible.
"Two point six two seconds?!" His voice shook.
The top-floor lab was over fifty meters long. A return sprint was a hundred-meter dash. Under three seconds? That wasn't human speed—that was faster than a Ferrari at full tilt on the Autobahn.
"Physical speed increase of about 50%, then..." Peter murmured, a smirk tugging at his lips.
And this was just the baseline "Charged Mode." He hadn't even touched his real ace yet.
Now... for the main event!
Peter focused, drawing upon the energy within his cells to knead Chakra. Since his body was currently a living battery, the Chakra he produced was pure, unconverted Lightning Nature.
He channeled this surging power, releasing it uniformly through every tenketsu (pressure point) in his body.
CHIRP! CHIRP! ZZZZT!
The air exploded with the sound of a thousand birds!
Brilliant blue electricity erupted from Peter like a Super Saiyan's aura, rapidly condensing into a crackling suit of armor that hugged his frame perfectly.
It worked.
The forbidden technique of the Fourth Raikage—Lightning Style Chakra Mode—had been replicated by Peter using a completely unique physiological foundation.
The blinding light nearly seared Connors' retinas. The doctor retreated to a corner, squinting at the radiant figure, his mind reeling.
He hasn't even moved and the air is vibrating. What happens when he actually hits something?
"Doctor... one more test, please."
Peter prepared to test his speed under the Chakra Mode. But the moment he lifted his foot to take a step...
CRASH!
The floor tiles beneath him disintegrated like wet tofu. Peter, caught off guard by the explosive friction, plummeted through the floor.
That "gentle" step had possessed enough force to shatter three layers of reinforced flooring.
Using Moonwalk (Geppo) to kick his way back up to the lab, Peter quickly used the Horse Talisman to mend the gaping hole. He looked sheepishly at Connors. "Okay, now I'm ready."
Connors sighed, resigned to the madness, and held up the watch. "Three, two, one—Go!"
The moment he clicked the button, Peter shot out like a railgun slug and returned to the starting point in the blink of an eye. The sonic boom that followed his movement arrived with a delay, rattling the windows.
Connors clicked the watch. It read 0.5 seconds.
The reading was inaccurate, of course—Connors' human reflexes were too slow to stop the watch the moment Peter returned. But one thing was undeniable: Peter had just shattered the sound barrier.
"F*ck!" even the mild-mannered Dr. Connors couldn't help but swear. "Peter... did you just go supersonic?"
Connors felt his decades of scientific education crumbling into dust. Ignoring the look of pure shock on the doctor's face, Peter turned toward a fire hydrant in the corner of the lab.
Now for the most critical test. Water was the fatal weakness for Max Dillon. Could the Lightning Armor negate that flaw?
Peter didn't hesitate. He wrenched the valve open.
WASH!
A high-pressure jet of cold water slammed into him. Connors' heart leaped into his throat, terrified Peter would short-circuit and explode.
But the disaster never came.
Wrapped in the Lightning Style Chakra Mode, the water was repelled by an invisible "membrane" of high-frequency energy before it could even touch his skin.
Peter stood directly in the path of the high-pressure stream, yet not a single drop dampened his suit.
He was completely immune to the conductivity of water. The greatest weakness of the Electro-gene had been conquered.
Super speed, super offense, super defense, and zero elemental weaknesses. Combined with the Finger Pistol (Shigan) technique he had already mastered...
A move name flashed through Peter's mind instantly.
"Hell Stab: One-Finger Spear!"
At this rate, I'm going to be unstoppable.
