Chapter 3 - 3

In a place unseen by outsiders, Aaron's brain worked like an advanced computer, listing out arrangements, then packaging them into folders and storing them deep within his mind.

At the same time, he automatically connected to the US network, beginning to search and browse for all the information he needed.

With a super brain and network control, Aaron was like carrying a mobile phone and computer with him; without the need for other devices, a single thought could retrieve all information from the network!

Right there in his mind,

He contacted a black market dealer specializing in fake documents.

Based on multiple confirmations, this guy was either backed by the FBI or had connections within the immigration department.

He had the channels to properly enter people's information into the system, which was neither illegal nor prone to error.

Although Aaron could now easily enter the digital world and do many incredible things online, hacking into official systems to input information and data wasn't so easy.

At least, he couldn't consider all aspects thoroughly in a short amount of time right now.

The vast amount of data in the network, even for him currently, made it impossible to discern the authenticity and practicality of each piece of information.

After all, he wasn't an artificial intelligence.

Moreover, his network control ability was limited to the features extracted from the latest Huawei phone.

Without getting rid of his undocumented status, Aaron couldn't even shop online at the moment.

He focused more of his energy on gathering information about the world.

Soon, he confirmed the current overt situation of the world.

It was now 2010, and Tony Stark had already declared: "I am Iron Man!"

However, Thor's hammer hadn't fallen yet.

But it was probably coming soon.

"Fortunately, there's still time to develop. If I had landed directly at the moment of the snap, I'd really have to gamble on that fifty percent chance."

"Even if I could be revived in the future, it would waste five precious years of development!"

Aaron thought to himself.

He didn't expect these heroes to achieve a victory that wasn't a victory, like in the Infinity War.

He wanted to control his own destiny more.

He packaged a file of information from the nearby map area and placed it into a "folder."

Aaron was about to head straight for the nearest pet shop.

However, as soon as he opened the door, a small figure stood hesitantly at the entrance.

"Kate?!"

Chapter 4: Mockingbird, The Incredible Human

New York, Aaron and Kate walked slowly down the street.

"Aaron, are you from that Eastern country? Was that Eastern kung fu you used just now? I know Bruce Lee; his kung fu is amazing! They say he can kick a person ten meters away with one kick!"

"I always thought it was fake, but after seeing you easily beat people several meters away, it turns out kung fu is all real!"

"Can I learn?"

"Don't worry, I'll pay you handsomely! I can give you money, lots and lots of money!"

Kate's eyes were filled with anticipation. Ever since she saw Aaron's god-like ability to subdue those bad guys, she was no longer interested in her old dolls or anything else.

She also wanted to have powerful fighting skills and strength like Aaron.

"If you want to gain strength like mine, then I'm sorry, I can't give it to you right now."

Aaron shook his head. Theoretically, the Primordial Furnace could indeed bestow the same characteristics and concepts on others.

But why would he?

Even if Kate was cute, there was no relationship between them.

He would absolutely not casually bestow superhuman abilities on others.

At least, not on strangers.

Kate's expression dimmed upon hearing this.

"Can ordinary people become superheroes?" she asked, a little unwilling.

Kate had a slight misunderstanding, but Aaron didn't correct her. Instead, he said, "Yes! Look at Tony Stark, isn't he an ordinary person who became a superhero?"

Instead of being encouraged, Kate became even more dejected after hearing this. "But I don't have armor..."

"I asked Mom, and she said it takes a lot, a lot of money, and a powerful brain to create something so amazing."

"Our family doesn't have enough money, nor do we have a brain as smart as Mr. Stark's."

Aaron looked around and casually said, "Then why don't you be more down-to-earth and start by learning various combat techniques and exercising your body?"

Kate pondered, "That sounds good? I'll tell Mom to sign me up for Taekwondo, fencing, Judo, martial arts..."

Kate wiggled her fingers, speaking earnestly.

Aaron chuckled, "I suggest you hold off for a bit. You're still growing, so don't do too many strenuous exercises that might harm your body."

"And Taekwondo... I think you might want to consider other martial arts."

Kate nodded seriously upon hearing this, "I will seriously consider it!"

However, Kate still seemed a little uninterested.

Although Aaron, her "senior," had pointed her in the right direction, the thought of so many things to learn,

And not being able to quickly possess Aaron's powerful strength to protect her and her parents, Kate naturally wasn't very happy.

Especially since Aaron didn't seem to want to be her teacher?

Kate looked up at Aaron's tall figure. "Can you teach me? Anything, fighting, combat experience..."

Aaron's expression was strange. "I don't mind being your teacher, but what I know, I really can't teach anyone."

"Like...?" Kate was a bit confused.

"Have you seen Ultraman Tiga?"

"I have! I've even heard 'Miracle Reborn'!"

Kate's expression brightened a little. "The children in it can turn into light to help Tiga defeat monsters!"

Aaron blinked, "If I said I could also turn into light, would you believe me?"

"Huh?"

Suddenly, the familiar background music of 'Miracle Reborn' played beside them, like sunlight piercing through the darkness... A new storm has arrived.

While Kate was engrossed in the music, she was still wondering where the sound was coming from.

And then, her eyes fixated on Aaron and couldn't move away.

"Oh my god! I saw light!"

Kate covered her mouth. At this moment, that glow reappeared on Aaron's body, growing brighter and brighter, and it seemed very warm.

"You... you're Ultraman!"

"Aaron Ultraman?!"

"No, you can call me Lord Zoffy!"

"!!!"

Watching Kate's wide-eyed, shocked expression, Aaron chuckled and shook his head. The light receded, and his still-warm large hand ruffled Kate's golden hair.

"I was just making a joke, don't mind it. I'm not Ultraman, these are just some small abilities."

"But you really can turn into light! Flash Man?"

Kate moved her feet like a doll, still immersed in the scene she had just witnessed.

Superman? Ultraman? Or the Sun God?

A storm raged in Kate's mind as she searched for the most fitting codename for Aaron's abilities.

While she was thinking,

Aaron had already started singing.

This time, it was a very popular American pop song that was currently trending.

However, what surprised Kate the most was that Aaron's rendition sounded exactly like the original she had heard!

No, it seemed even better!

Every note, every beat, was perfect!

Soon after, Aaron switched to another song with a completely different melody.

But it was still just as beautiful, and the vocal transitions were incredibly smooth, as if they were carved from the same mold!

"How... how did you do that? Maybe you should consider becoming a singer? You'd be famous worldwide!"

Kate suddenly understood why Aaron had said what he did.

Just this one skill, she would probably need years and still might not master it, right?

Absolute imitation of others' voices!

It was so lifelike, it was as if the real person were singing.

"Maybe you could also be called Mockingbird?"

Kate vigorously rubbed her hair; it was too difficult to choose!

"Or how about Mr. Incredible?"

"Or All-Might?"

Aaron repeatedly waved his hands, "Stop obsessing over these things! I don't want you to blurt out anything else astounding!"

First Mockingbird, then Mr. Incredible. If you keep letting your imagination run wild, you might come up with names like Thanos, Oba, Chthon, or Shuma-Gorath.

This is Marvel; truly calling out such names has a chance of attracting the attention of evil gods.

Are you really dissatisfied with your father dying not early enough, and you want him to die even earlier, and perhaps get a new dad?

Chapter 5: Big Shopping, Rapid Improvement

Aaron's ability to imitate voices came from the special ability he gained after melting the phone.

When he was singing earlier, he had a flash of inspiration, realizing that he could quickly transform sound signals in his mind to imitate other voices.

It proved to be true,

He could easily record external audio, convert it into a signal, and then reproduce it perfectly.

The two signals were almost identical, but there would be errors during the conversion and transmission process.

However, that small error was basically negligible.

But this ability couldn't fool certain special beings.

Daredevil, for example, might be able to detect it.

The voice might be the same, but the emotions would definitely be different. Extremely sensitive people could distinguish between real and fake based on this.

"We're here!"

Aaron stopped at a street corner.

Kate looked up and her voice suddenly rose: "Insect shop? You like insects?!"

Aaron raised an eyebrow. "It seems you're afraid of those things? I'll go in for a bit, you wait outside."

Kate was conflicted. "I'll go in with you. Hold my hand, I'm a little scared of those things, and snakes..."

Compared to insects, she was more afraid of strange, unknown people appearing from nowhere.
