The Dual-Ability Gene Serum had to wait. It was promising, but still needed testing and Nolan didn’t need it for himself.
The mont Emma Frost’s blood fully integrated, his telepathic abilities surged. But her diamond skin offered little utility his body already surpassed conventional durability. He never truly cared for that part anyway.
"Now... Mystique and Blink."
Nolan’s eyes shimred.
In his mind, mutants were inherently suited for magic, yet Kamar-Taj had never recruited any. He found that odd.
If a mutant already possessed an innate connection to reality-warping phenona, wouldn’t that pair beautifully with magical training?
Take Mystique with shapeshifting that bordered on reality mimicry. Or Wanda, who already rged Chaos Magic with her mutant powers.
Nolan wondered aloud, "If I had a mutant who could open multiple portals... could I bypass the limit of one dinsional gate at a ti?"
Even now, his personal spacefold portals were enormous but singular. No matter how wide the portal stretched, he could only open one at a ti.
He had once asked Wong about it. The answer was simple: "Your understanding of dinsional geotry isn’t deep enough... and your mind is too cluttered. Kamar-Taj mages specialize in you, Nolan, try to master everything."
"Ti to open a new gene cluster..."
Just to be safe, Nolan imrsed himself in the high-energy genetic mod pod, thick nutrient gel surrounding his body.
When he first replicated symbiote DNA, he’d learned a painful lesson.
Symbiotes, like Venom, had fixed genetic slots their evolution capped. Nolan wanted no such ceiling.
He had crafted his own version: the Autonomous Evolution Module.
It allowed his body to dynamically expand its genetic reservoirs, but each upgrade ca with increasing pain. The stronger he beca, the more his cells resisted change.
Pain was part of progress.
He dripped Mystique’s blood into the chamber. It seeped into his skin, rewriting cellular pathways. His muscles spasd, nerves scread, skin tore and re-stitched in real ti.
It felt like driving a needle under his fingernail through every inch of his body.
Monts later, his mind flared. New nodes of light spatial coordinates lit up in his consciousness.
He hadn’t cast a spell. He hadn’t even activated his sling ring.
These coordinates ca directly from his enhanced telepathy.
More than that his mind had beco the gateway.
His thoughts alone could now puncture space.
"Mutant powers really are divine gifts..."
He held up Blink’s blood vial and injected it next.
This one was smoother. Pain flashed and passed in seconds. He stepped out of the pod, dressed, and flexed his mind.
His thoughts painted the multiverse.
Five portals opened instantly. Each led to a different dinsion.
With Blink and Mystique’s X-Genes synergized into his space magic, Nolan had leveled up again.
"So this is what a Spatial Spirit Body feels like..."
In cultivation lore, that term would have been mystical. Here? It was biological and magical perfection.
But it wasn’t enough.
Next targets: Azazel and Nightcrawler Blink’s "twins" in teleportation genetics.
If he could acquire their DNA and add it to residual Space Stone compounds in his collection he could evolve into sothing even more absurd:
Spatial Deity Body.
His dinsional affinity would approach the tier of cosmic celestials.
"Connors. Stern. Clean the lab."
His assistants entered, snapped to attention. It was ti to move on.
Mutant research was complete Inhumans were next.
Dozens of Inhumans were dragged into the lab, all restrained by suppressor collars that dampened X-Gene analogs and blocked their powers.
Hive had delivered them beautifully his invasion had made this all possible.
The collars neutralized their Terrigen-enhanced genetics, leaving them as ordinary humans.
Connors and Stern donned their lab coats and prepped the equipnt.
"Begin testing. Log every variable. They don’t need to survive just keep the data flowing."
"Yes, Doctor."
For Nolan, the future wasn’t just about power it was about systematization.
He would now create a universal power classification for all superhumans.
While governnts still relied on the outdated five-tier scale, Nolan aid for a multi-parater matrix:
Power
Defense
Speed
Energy Projection
With secondary stats like intellect, tactical skill, resilience, and state amplification, he could finally quantify transcendence.
It wouldn’t be perfect, not yet. But it would be functional.
"It’s ti to bring order to the chaos."
And with Inhuman test subjects, his frawork would soon beco the new global standard.
