—------------------—
The entire process of Ashley injecting Compound V proved that the modified version could similarly provide a safe and powerful enhancement to the genes of those in The Boys World.
In the Invincible World, although he had many people injected with it to become modified soldiers of that civilization, even granting them the rank of legion commander, whether the drug’s potency would be too strong for people from The Boys World still required clinical validation.
Ashley had now completed this process.
Since that was the case, there was nothing to hesitate about.
Keep the good stuff for your own people; his inner circle naturally had to be armed first.
With a wave of his hand, Lucas called Jordan, Cate, Maeve, and Annie into his office one by one. Since these few were highly loyal to him, he gave each of them a vial of the modified Compound V.
"Hurry up and inject it, all of you. These vials are a modified version of Compound V. Not only do they have the power to keep you young forever, but they can also comprehensively enhance your superpowers!"
Lucas got straight to the point.
Eternal youth?
The eyes of the four women lit up in unison.
If you said you were using them as test subjects, the four of them would probably have reservations, but if you said it would grant them eternal youth, no woman could resist the temptation.
Except for Bomb Sight’s girlfriend.
The women all began their injections. Cate and Maeve, in particular, injected themselves quickly and precisely.
All four of them finished their injections.
The first to undergo a noticeable transformation was Jordan.
Jordan’s original ability was to switch between male and female forms.
The male form possessed immense physical strength, while the female form could fire energy blasts. Both forms had their strengths, but they could not be used simultaneously.
But after the modified Compound V was injected into her body, a dazzling golden light erupted from Jordan. When the golden light dissipated, a heroic and valiant woman was standing in her place.
She didn’t change back into her male form, but with a casual wave of her hand, all the window panes shattered. That terrifying strength was like night and day compared to her previous male form.
At the same time, Lucas quickly blocked her path, opened his mouth, and swallowed the energy wave generated by her fist.
*Burp!*
Lucas let out a burp and exhaled.
"Hmm, that punch wasn’t bad. It almost collapsed the entire building," Lucas said, highly satisfied.
Being able to produce such an effect with a casual energy blast was far more overpowered than Soldier Boy.
Soldier Boy still needed to charge up to blow up a building.
If Jordan charged up her power to the maximum, she could probably blow up several blocks.
Most importantly, she no longer needed to switch forms. Now, as a single entity, she possessed all the advantages of both the male and female forms simultaneously.
Not only that, but she raised her hand, condensed a ball of energy in her palm, and actually began to float slowly.
She could now harness her energy waves to fly freely.
As Lucas watched, he felt that Jordan now somewhat resembled Captain Marvel. Although her strength couldn’t quite compare, it would still be a good idea to build a team around her.
"Female!"
Jordan looked in the mirror. "I’ve actually completely turned into a female! This is amazing. Guardian, there’s something I’ve wanted to say for a long time. How about coming over to my place tonight for a drink?"
"...Cough, cough!"
Annie cleared her throat.
Jordan shrank back, but she still winked at Lucas and made a "call me" gesture.
...
Next was Cate.
Cate’s original ability required skin contact to influence others, and she had been stuck at a bottleneck for a long time without making any progress. The modified Compound V completely broke her shackles.
She closed her eyes and slowly pressed a hand to her temple.
An invisible psychic force radiated outward from her as the center, spreading silently in all directions.
Even controlling everyone in the entire building would be a piece of cake.
Especially the Supes in the building.
As for the range, it was extremely far, spreading out to at least several blocks away. It was simply on a completely different level of power compared to before.
"My ability is Mind Control. Within five blocks, I can hear everyone’s inner thoughts, even those perverted ideas in your head, Jordan... Can you tone it down a bit?"
Cate glanced at her.
Jordan actually wanted her to join in as well, forming a duo, just like Maeve and Annie.
Pervert!
Jordan winked. "Is that a yes?"
"Of course... we can!"
The two completed their mental telepathy.
"Not bad. You can go by Madame X from now on!" Lucas nodded.
Cate had truly become like Professor X.
...
Then there was Maeve.
Maeve was already a veteran of The Seven with a powerful physical body, belonging to the T1 tier and second only to the likes of Homelander and Soldier Boy. Her only regret was that she couldn’t fly.
The modified Compound V raised her physical attributes across the board by a whole tier.
She flashed to the bedside and experimentally took a light leap.
*Boom!*
The ground beneath her feet instantly collapsed into a large crater, and she shot up like a cannonball, leaping directly several thousand meters into the sky and visibly darting into the clouds.
"Good lord!"
"Queen Maeve... she’s truly a queen now!"
Both Jordan and Cate were completely dumbfounded.
"Although she couldn’t fly, this incredible jumping power was absolutely unmatched."
Before long, Maeve returned.
"Incredible! I only jumped a few times and I was already out of the city, and all my old injuries have healed!" Maeve flexed her wrists. Now, she felt like she could punch Homelander to death.
"I don’t have to sleep tonight. You come up with the ideas, and I’ll make them happen—just the two of us, how about it?"
The Queen also began to whisper sweet nothings into Lucas’s ear.
"...Cough, cough!"
Annie cleared her throat loudly.
"Can you all show some respect for my status as the official girlfriend?!"
...
The last one was Annie.
Annie’s original ability was to absorb energy and emit light and heat, but she had a fatal flaw: once she was cut off from any power source or light source, she would be rendered helpless.
The modified Compound V directly eliminated this flaw.
Standing in the sunlight, Annie felt every cell in her body gain the ability to store energy long-term. At this moment, she was frantically absorbing energy, storing massive amounts of light energy so she no longer needed to "recharge" frequently.
With a casual wave of her hand, a dazzling beam of light easily pierced through the sky above the city and blasted into a mountain in the suburbs.
Lucas took a look with his Super Vision. Not bad, the power was quite impressive.
The beam didn’t decay at all over this distance, and instead blasted out a cave.
Not only that, but her physical stats were also vastly enhanced. Her flight speed was faster, even surpassing A-Train, and her strength... was enough to shatter Stormfront with a single punch.
"Lucas, look!" Annie spun excitedly in the air like a little sun falling into the mortal world. "Don’t listen to their temptations. You know my eyes can glow!"
"This time, I want you to see clearly!"
"Whatever they can do, I can do too, and only better!"
Good job!
These four women were all exceptional talents.
Wait.
Back in the Invincible World, he also seemed to have had four women. How did that match up so perfectly!
