Chapter 66: The Transformation of the Electric Man

After Electro followed Nathan Hawke back to the Marvel world, he returned to his home and spent an ordinary yet extraordinary day. For him, this was a brand new beginning, a new life that he had been looking forward to but was afraid of.

When he returned to his home and saw the familiar furniture and furnishings, he couldn't help but sigh at the changes in himself.

......

"Hey, Electro, are you going to the party?" Andre flew to Electro and asked kindly.

"No, but you, didn't you want to practice? Why, you don't want to practice anymore?" The electric man responded with a smile.

"That's because there's no room for improvement. I'm so tired lately." Andre curled the corner of his mouth. In fact, he was called by Zhan Ji Lingma and Nathan Hawke to check on the condition of Electric Man.

Since returning, Electro has been hiding himself at home and has not gone anywhere, which has made many people worry about him.

"I won't go. Just enjoy yourself." Electric Man waved to Andre.

Andre nodded and said, "Okay, but I want to tell you that if possible, it would be better for you to ask for a leave from everyone. In this way, we won't have to worry about you all the time."

"Tsk, so that's the reason." Electric Man said disdainfully.

"Ha, I'm glad you know." Facing the people who were partying with him, Andre had nothing to hide and said directly: "When you make up your mind, call me. There are some very hot girls here recently. I won't say more. I'll go first." After that, Andre rushed straight into the sky.

The electric man couldn't help but smile bitterly as he watched Andre leave. He knew Andre cared about him, but he didn't want to become a burden to everyone.

Back home, Electro sat quietly on the sofa, recalling the battle with the Chitauri and his experience in Night City, and also recalled his previous world, himself at that time, and his opponent at that time, Spider-Man. He knew that he had escaped from that desperate fate and gained a new life, but he also understood that this new life would not be smooth sailing.

He used to be an ordinary person, but everything changed in that accident. Now, he has powerful strength and has become an electric man, but this power also brings him more responsibilities and pressure.

He knew that he could no longer escape or hide at home. He had to face reality and face his own heart.

"Am I a super villain?"

"Still a superhero."

The Electric Man stood up, walked to the window, and looked at the starry sky. He decided that from now on, he would use his power to protect the people he cherished and help those in need.

He knew that this new beginning would not be easy, but he was ready. No matter what difficulties and challenges he faced, he would not back down because he had found his own faith and persistence.

"From today on, I will become a real hero." Electro silently made up his mind, determined to write his own new legend in this world.

......

Nathan Hawke looked at the information sent by Wesker in surprise and read the contents carefully.

"Ghost, Electric Man has turned over a new leaf."

The data showed that after the retreat, Electro had regrouped and was seriously working as a superhero. Nathan Hawke was surprised and amazed as he watched Electro's actions.

"It seems that he has finally found his own beliefs and decided to become a real hero." Nathan Hawke whispered to himself.

Nathan Hawke admired and felt complicated about Electro's choice. He knew that after that battle, Electro had completely gotten rid of the darkness of the past and found his direction again. Becoming a hero and protecting the people was a bright choice, but also a responsible choice.

"boss!"

The two looked towards the sound, and after the invisible man entered the office, he began to speak fiercely: "Boss, Wesker, is Electro really going to become a superhero?"

The Invisible Man thought of the bad memories and continued, "When a group of us super villains gather together, oh no, when a person with the opposite direction appears among the superheroes, it proves that cracks have begun to appear in our united team."

Nathan Hawke responded with a smile: "Are you afraid that Electro will find his conscience and destroy us?"

"Haha. Boss, you are joking." The invisible man smiled awkwardly, then said with a bitter face: "Boss, I am too familiar with this thing. I remember that I was in the Super Hero 7 team."

"To be honest." Nathan Hawke put away the information, looked at the invisible man and said, "Actually, I don't know what to do. The most important thing is what Electro thinks."

"Boss, you know, I'm the weakest here." The invisible man blinked, indicating that he was weak and well-behaved.

Nathan Hawke raised his eyebrows and said, "I see. No wonder you've been hanging around Zhan Ji Ling Ma and Kreutz lately. It seems you have a sense of crisis."

"Yes, yes, boss, that's what I wanted to say." The Invisible Chicken nodded.

Wesker laughed disdainfully and said, "You've been injected with the G-virus, and even a small amount of high-quality unnamed virus and genetic modification. With your current physical strength and abilities, even if you can't beat Electro, you'll still have more than enough to run away."

The invisible man who was exposed was not angry, but looked at Nathan Hawke.

"You see, I'm useless. What can I do now that Electro has turned over a new leaf?" Nathan Hawke spread his hands.

Wesker said disapprovingly: "Electro's transformation is his own choice. We don't have to force him to return to our side. If he really wants to become a superhero, there is no need for us to stop him."

"Yes, he is a man with his own beliefs after all." The Invisible Man added, "We are not here to fight against him, but to achieve our own goals. Everyone has his own path."

Nathan Hawke looked at the invisible man in surprise, Where is your conscience?

Nathan Hawke also nodded in agreement, saying, "You are right. Each of us is an independent individual with our own choices and beliefs. I am happy for him that Electro can find his own direction."

The crow flies by.

"Don't talk about this anymore. It makes me a little annoyed. As long as Electro is willing to be a part of us, it's fine." Nathan Hawke gave the order directly and blocked the news at the same time.

Although Electro is now doing superhero work, he has not returned to the company or reported to the company. Instead, he took a leave of absence internally, so much so that the Hawke Group and Electro's logistics team thought they were fired by Electro or Hawke. After all, there have been news about Electro outside but no one has ever seen him, which made some of the Hawke Group's staff start gossiping.

Nathan Hawke handled these matters calmly, knowing that Electro would need some time to adapt to his new identity and responsibilities. He did not want to put more pressure on Electro at this time, giving him enough space to think and choose.

Under Nathan Hawke's instructions, the company kept a low profile on Electro's affairs, and only a few senior executives knew about Electro's affairs. They decided not to interfere with Electro's decision for the time being, but to continue to implement the company's plan.

late at night.

Nathan Hawke drove a black luxury car to Umbrella Labs, their secret base located on the outskirts of the city. The entire laboratory was hidden in a dense woods.

After entering the laboratory door, Zhan Ji Lingma's assistant brought Nathan Hawke to the command center. The interior of the laboratory was spacious and bright, with various high-tech equipment neatly arranged.

"Boss, welcome." Zhan Ji Ling Ma smiled. "I have prepared a report about our recent research and findings."

"Great, I'm very interested in this." Nathan Hawke nodded and signaled Zhan Ji Lingma to continue.

Zhan Ji Lingma turned on the display screen, showing a series of data and charts: "In the past few months, we have begun to research and develop some intelligent systems, artificial intelligence and bioengineering technologies through the technology snatched from Night City, military technology and some companies."

Nathan Hawke's eyes became more focused, and he has always had a strong interest in the research of these high technologies, which are crucial to the development of Umbrella and the realization of his goals.

"These technologies cover multiple fields, and we have successfully integrated them and achieved some breakthroughs," said Zhan Ji Lingma proudly. "We have developed a new generation of intelligent systems with higher autonomous learning capabilities and adaptability, which can cope with various complex situations."

"We have also made new progress in bioengineering. By modifying genes, we have enabled some organisms to possess extraordinary abilities, such as significant improvements in speed, strength and endurance."

Nathan Hawke listened to the report with a satisfied smile on his face. The results of these studies will provide great support for the improvement of Umbrella's strength.

"What are the applications of these technologies?" asked Nathan Hawke.

"We apply these technologies to all areas of Umbrella, including security defense, intelligence gathering and personnel training," explained Zhan Ji Lingma. "The application of intelligent systems makes our security measures more intelligent and can better predict and respond to potential threats."

"Bioengineering technology has given our Umbrella Control Team greater combat power during missions, allowing them to better complete various high-risk missions."

Nathan Hawke nodded with satisfaction and praised Zhan Ji Lingma: "Well done, the application of these technologies will greatly enhance our strength."

Then, Nathan Hawke asked, "Let me ask, although I don't manage your specific allocation, you are in charge of this item now, so what about Kreutz?"

"Him? He has recently been applying these technologies to various fields of Umbrella. Then there is the super gene project that he has been thinking about. He said that he wants to meet Sephiroth and upgrade all the equipment and technology of the European branch of Umbrella." Zhan Ji Lingma said.
