Chapter 55 - Chapter 055: A Loving Family of Supermen

[Name]: Alexander Kent

[Gender]: Male

[Age]: 9 months

[Lineage]: Superman (Bronze)

[Talents]: Stellar Energy (Passive), Bio-field (Passive)

[Abilities]: Click to view...

[Evaluation]: City-level. A young Superman in infancy with many abilities yet to awaken; gifted with innate strength.

...

The information for Benjamin and Christopher was similar to Alexander's, though there were slight differences in their evaluations: 'Gifted with innate speed' and 'Gifted with innate perception,' respectively.

When they were first born, the evaluations weren't as specific as they are now.

As the three of them gradually grew, and especially after they finally activated 'Stellar Energy' recently, their individual innate characteristics began to manifest.

The six-piece set of the 'Steel Body' had not yet fully awakened.

Alexander: [Super Strength (Bronze) · LV2, Super Physique (Bronze) · LV1, Super Healing (Bronze) · LV1, Super Agility (Bronze) · LV0, Super Senses (Bronze) · LV0]

Benjamin: [Super Agility (Bronze) · LV2, Super Healing (Bronze) · LV1, Super Physique (Bronze) · LV1, Super Senses (Bronze) · LV0, Super Strength (Bronze) · LV0]

Christopher: [Super Brain (Bronze) · LV2, Super Senses (Bronze) · LV1, Super Physique (Bronze) · LV1, Super Agility (Bronze) · LV0, Super Strength (Bronze) · LV0]

At their normal growth rate, it was estimated that their 'Steel Body' would fully awaken around their first birthday; currently, each of them was still missing one ability.

As little Supermen, all of this was within Shawn's expectations.

However, the reason Matthew was stunned, and why Shawn himself felt surprised, was that the three little brats had also awakened additional abilities.

One conventional Superman ability, and one special personal ability.

[Please note, your family member Alexander has awakened: Divine Power (Special) · LV0, Heat Vision (Bronze) · LV0]

[Please note, your family member Benjamin has awakened: Flash Speed (Special) · LV0, Flight (Bronze) · LV0]

[Please note, your family member Christopher has awakened: Primal Sense (Special) · LV0, Freeze Breath (Bronze) · LV0]

Similar to Mira, the little ones now had their own special abilities, which did not have the Bronze-tier classification.

[Divine Power (Special): Divine Power is not simply an enhancement of muscle strength, but a state. A Superman in the state of Divine Power has both body and mind protected by a field, and all physical qualities are greatly enhanced; using oneself as a domain is merely the starting point.]

[Flash Speed (Special): Flash Speed is not just fast movement; it is an instinct to master spatial travel. A Superman proficient in the Flash Speed ability may, when the distance is sufficiently vast, have a chance to touch the pulse of mysterious space-time.]

[Primal Sense (Special): Primal Sense is a concrete power that combines the body and the mind, allowing a Superman to perceive minds, respond to minds, control minds, and even change minds. It is like the most primitive form of formless water; what shape it takes depends on how it is used and shaped.]

When Shawn saw the related descriptions, he realized that the children's special abilities were not simple.

Well, perhaps "not simple" was an understatement.

Any one of the three special abilities, combined with the body conditions of a Superman "stat monster," would become terrifying as they grew.

Shawn believed that each of them perhaps represented an evolutionary direction for the Superman bloodline.

The end of the Superman path is not just to stand alongside the gods, but to surpass them.

Shawn's gaze swept past the three children, his Super Senses looking toward a more distant place; he seemed to foresee a certain possibility of the future.

...

He accepted the gift Matthew brought: a delicately packaged hair removal product.

Heaven knows how the manufacturer found Matthew.

"Thanks, I like it."

Shawn joked with Matthew: "I just don't know if this hair removal cream is powerful enough to make a Superman's hair fall out."

By now, Shawn's height had settled at 191cm, his weight at 110kg, and the hair anywhere on his body was maintained in a fairly stable state.

This mainly referred to his hair; when Superman made an appearance, image management was also very important.

His body was not only impervious to blades, but he could also gargle with AK-47 fire and withstand missile attacks; now, he could even bathe in the center of a nuclear explosion.

In such a state, if he didn't use his 'Bio-field,' a normal person couldn't even hope to harm a single hair on him.

"If that's the case, sir..."

Matthew seemed to have just realized this point, his gaze toward Shawn becoming a bit strange: "If someone could obtain a single hair of yours, couldn't they use it to create something extremely powerful?"

"What on earth are you thinking about? Stop right there!"

Shawn stopped Matthew's wild theories; if he kept thinking about it, anything on a Superman's body would become a treasure-level holy item unlike anything ever possessed in human history.

The couple kept Matthew for dinner.

During his stay, the kid was extremely wary of the three little ones: "You guys are big kids now, don't play pranks on me, got it? That's too mean!"

He had to be wary.

Just a while ago, Alexander had thrown him into the high sky like a ball, and Benjamin had performed roller coaster-like accelerations and decelerations in the air while he was screaming at the top of his lungs.

Christopher was even craftier; while Matthew was still shaken, he vividly described the consequences of a disaster in his mind, and even secretly flipped through the little secrets that surfaced in his mind when his thoughts were turbulent.

How could someone not even a year old be so wickedly mischievous?!

Although he was still a minor, Gecko was, at the very least, a superhero who had fought several tough battles.

But facing the three little brats, he couldn't fight them, nor could he run away; it was simply despair-inducing.

Shawn was left speechless, laughing and crying: "The boundary of play is that everyone participating feels happy; otherwise, it's an offense. So, you need to seriously consider Matthew's words, understand?"

To prevent Gecko from being played to breaking point, he still put a stop to the children's shenanigans.

Especially little Chris; peeking into others' inner secrets was, to some extent, not a very moral behavior.

The child was still young, and he had to make him realize what could be done and what could not.

Mira said to the three boys: "Children, I hope you know that any ability, if abused, will be a disaster for this world."

They did not want their children to become like those super-human jerks.

"Oh, oh~~!"

The children were confused, but they knew to give Matthew a loving hug, which counted as comforting their incompetent big brother.

Don't be depressed, we'll do it again next time.

Matthew: "???"

Looking at the loving family of Supermen, Matthew inadvertently felt hurt again.

After dinner.

During casual conversation, Shawn told Matthew: "A week from now, you and Alex should find a time to come over together. Mira's potion research is already showing results. Adjust your physical condition over the next few days; don't get lethargic or injured anywhere."

Supersonic and Gecko had recently become famous, all earned through blood and sweat; their efforts were no less than those of ordinary people.

"Wow, this is the best news I've heard today, even better than getting my own endorsement fee!!"

Matthew's eyes lit up: "Does that mean our abilities can be further evolved and developed?"

Although training to get stronger was great, the potion was worth a try. After all, they were born with this buff, and applying a patch to upgrade it now was perfectly normal.

"That remains to be seen after testing."

Mira replied thoughtfully: "The experimental data is only at the data stage. The potions tailored for the two of you are theoretically very suitable, but Matthew, you know, we cannot rule out the possibility of accidents. If that happens..."

Matthew's smile froze on his face.

With Mrs. Kent's brilliant mind, shouldn't it be foolproof?

"Hehehe~~!"

Mira laughed. She looked at Matthew, whose expression was off, and finding it amusing, she deliberately scared him:

"If an accident occurs, you and Alex might turn into monsters. But don't worry, I've already prepared a big jug of ability inhibitor, you'll be able to use it then."

"..."

Matthew's face turned pale: "C-can I still back out now?"

"Of course you can."

Shawn glared at his wife, then turned to soothe Matthew: "Mira is joking with you. She wouldn't bring out an uncontrollable potion. The probability of you hitting the jackpot is lower than a plane crash. Listen to me and adjust your condition; I hope to see a fully upgraded Gecko in the near future!"

His credibility was still guaranteed.

"Phew! I'll listen to Mr. Kent."

After hearing this, Matthew's complexion improved a bit, and he quickly nodded firmly.
