Under the Red Dragon.

Chapter 403 Genetic Evolution
Over the entire New York City, dark clouds were surging violently like a tide.

The vast, boiling energy burst out with immeasurable exponential fluctuations among the countless huge branch-like thunder and lightning.

Along with the rumbling sound of thunder that echoed through the sky, lightning and thunder that pierced through the sky fell on the Tower of Babel that connected heaven and earth. It could be seen with the naked eye that it spread downward along the architectural patterns of the entire tower, and then instantly lit up the Tower of Babel.

Residents living around New York City do not need to watch the countless live broadcasts and online television news reports within dozens of kilometers around the Tower of Babel. They only need to open the windows to see the abnormal celestial phenomenon caused by the extremely strong energy.

It's like the crisis of doomsday has made everyone feel confused and fearful. The towering tower is like an eternal spear of judgment, conveying a heavy and omnipresent sense of oppression to the world.

Especially the Silver Legion that roamed in the ruins under the tower and the Transformer Machine Legion that often flew low over the sky, causing the once most powerful superpower on Earth to show an extremely strong sense of division in its heart.

There are prosperous cities on all sides, but in the most prosperous heart of America is a place of ruins that the world dare not touch easily.

In the eyes of outsiders, this towering Tower of Babel is a territory occupied by demons.

But the interior of the Tower of Babel appeared very clean, tidy and peaceful.

The first and second floors of the Tower of Babel are the headquarters of the Transformer Army and the Red Kingdom respectively, while the third floor and above are areas that only Charon can enter in person.

Anyone who wants to reach the top of the Tower of Babel must obtain the consent of the beast, who manages the Tower of Babel.

The third floor of the Tower of Babel was filled with clean rooms arranged in an orderly manner, and each room was filled with Kalon's guests.

Some of these guests were superhuman prisoners captured and suppressed in the Gulag by the former Justice League, while others were dragon-slaying "heroes" who came uninvited, hoping to defeat Kalon through simple force and even simpler means and prove their own strength.

Some of them are members of the Suicide Squad under the Sky Eye Society, including Harley Quinn, Slipknot, Croc and other members.

These members of the Suicide Squad came here just to watch because of orders from their superiors, but they were ruthlessly arrested by Superman Clark and thrown into prison.

All I can say is that Batman's initial concerns about Superman were not unfounded. Once such a powerful Superman transforms, it will be difficult to find a way to fight him.

The current Superman has gradually transformed into a leader of another level, rather than the hesitant and indecisive god on earth, so his methods appear to be particularly simple, crude and shocking.

Harley Quinn sat cross-legged quietly in her room. Through the transparent glass, she could see part of the scenes in other rooms. The open door allowed these super-human criminals to move freely in this level of the Tower of Babel.

Many criminals were arguing with each other in the hall. Some of them believed that Superman's behavior violated the human right of freedom and was an extreme act that crossed the line.

But among the criminals there are also believers in Superman, who quarrel with each other and their minds are still stuck in the previous era.

Only those who come later understand that the world has entered a new era.

In the first few days, many criminals tried to find loopholes and exits to escape from the third-level prison, but the criminals who tried to escape every day would disappear inexplicably the next day and never return.

So all the criminals in the prison became obedient.

Perhaps only Harley Quinn knows where all those missing people have gone.

Even Harley Quinn, who had become a little crazy under the influence of the Joker, shuddered when she thought of the scene she had seen before.

Harley Quinn has never felt so mentally normal. This is the clearest time since she met the Joker, at least for her.

As a doctor of psychology and former psychological counselor of Arkham Asylum, Harley Quinn believes she has a deep understanding of a person's mental state and psychological world.

If the Joker is the extremely crazy thinking logic that has no rules and does not follow common sense, then the person that Harley Quinn once faced, no, or should I say the dragon, is a super villain with an extremely stable and unshakable psychological core and a very clear goal.

But this kind of mental state and spiritual core also frightens Harley Quinn, a psychology doctor, because a stable core with a clear goal is extremely contagious.

After just two days of working as that man's assistant, Harley Quinn's mental illness has been mostly cured, and now she is no different from a normal person.

Heavy footsteps were heard outside the gate, and the entire noisy prison suddenly became quiet. The super-human criminals hurried back to their rooms and looked at the approaching robots through the glass house.

The silvery-white skin reveals the identity of this metal life. These super-human criminals know that this metal life itself does not have independent thinking and consciousness capabilities, but has the ability to think and behave in a command-based manner, just like a robot driven in a fixed way.

"Harley Quinn, someone wants to see you. Come out and come with me," the metal creature, who looked no different from a normal man, looked at the woman who was sitting quietly.

The heavy makeup on Harley Quinn's face has been washed off, returning to her normal, plain face, because the owner of this tower does not like such boring "art".

"Someone wants to see me? Who?"

Harley Quinn walked out of the room and followed behind, feeling confused.

As a woman who was once madly obsessed with the Joker, the more she was hurt by the Joker, the more she loved him.

However, no matter how strong the tolerance is, it has its limits. After the Joker tied Harley Quinn to a rocket and launched her away, Harley Quinn, who was severely injured physically and mentally, had already been completely disappointed with the Joker.

Even though she didn't know that the former king had been killed by Charon like a real clown, she no longer expected the clown to step into danger for her.

Because this Tower of Babel is not only a temporary habitat for that terrifying creature, but also an unprecedented magnetohydrodynamic generator.

The entire earth's magnetic field can be considered the magnetic flux lines of the Tower of Babel, and billions of kilowatt-hours of electricity can be generated every second to power the Tower of Babel.

In addition to the application of scientific and technological knowledge, the thunder and surging energy in the sky come from the influence of magical abilities, just like a giant dragon's wizard tower.

At the same time, the Tower of Babel also serves as the control center for the distortion of the gravitational field. According to what Harley Quinn has learned, the floors of the entire Tower of Babel are not accessed by elevators, but by gravitational jumps.

Moreover, once the criminals in the prison stepped out of the third-floor door alone without the guidance of the soldiers in front of them, they would be instantly crushed by the gravity that was suddenly dozens of times stronger, and every organ and tissue in their body would be torn and shattered by gravity.

No matter how much Harley Quinn approves of the Joker, she doesn't think that the Joker can get here with his own abilities.

However, a beautiful figure was looming in her mind. When Harley Quinn followed the soldiers into the door and climbed to the top floor, the figure suddenly became clear.

"Pamela! Why is it you!"

...In the spacious laboratory, almost all the high-end scientific instruments in New York City are displayed.

Wearing a white coat, Caron stood in front of the laboratory table and quietly watched the cell tissues in the instrument immersed in high-energy liquid.

In human form, Caron is about 1.9 meters tall and wears a white coat, looking like a young and promising scientist, which he certainly thinks is more appropriate.

As a creature pursuing the essence of eternal existence, Kalon is not limited by his own thinking, habits, environment, etc.

Just like those legends adapt to the rules of the current world every time they step into a new world, so does Caron.

Here, Caron rarely uses his magical abilities. He just uses the knowledge he once mastered to mobilize the expressive power of the current world, which helps Caron understand the true nature of the current world more quickly.

However, the mysteries of knowledge are difficult to exhaust. Even though Charon has mastered a lot of knowledge from several worlds, every time he takes one more step forward, he will find that there is a wider world in front of him waiting for him to discover and seize.

Even the blood of a dragon and his own arrogance could not stop Charon from feeling insignificant. Perhaps this was a manifestation of the coexistence of arrogance and humility.

However, at this moment, Karon still missed the mage groups in the empire.

Although Caron possesses nearly inexhaustible energy and vitality, facing the vast world ahead, relying solely on one person's strength is insignificant.

This is also one of the reasons why Kalon created the Golden Empire. The empire can help Kalon to a great extent and share many tasks on Kalon's way forward.

At least the empire's mage corps have been trained well by Charon, especially the classical mage Morvan Reid.

Karon shook his head and withdrew his thoughts.

Even for someone as focused as him, too much research and experimentation would still make him feel a little distracted.

He looked at the cell tissue in the culture dish, which was growing rapidly under the high-energy solution and then gradually becoming complete body tissue.

This is cell wall tissue extracted from Superman Clark.

Although Superman's Man of Steel is nearly invulnerable, that's not a problem for Cuarón.

He doesn't even need to use other means. His dragon claws, which are sharper than any weapon, are enough to hurt Superman's body.

"Little Moss, organize the files and record them," Caron raised his head and shouted to the metal lifeform who was lying in the corner of the laboratory, studying the superhuman tied to the experimental table with great interest.

"The superhuman top secret file - the superhuman anatomical gene file is in place!" The little moss floated over quickly, and the innate abilities possessed by the descendants of silicon-based gods born as intelligent life instantly connected to the information storage library in the Tower of Babel.

Projections of files floated above Little Moss's head, and lines of fonts began to be generated.

Karon squinted at the cells in the petri dish, then said, "Carl's genetic makeup may be the key to understanding the source of his abilities."

"His epithelial cells are very special, like a hybrid of animals and plants. Although they look like animal cells, they have some characteristics of plant cells, including but not limited to photosynthesis when exposed to sunlight, converting the sun's energy into their own energy. This is an analogy, and the deeper mechanism cannot be distinguished for the time being."

"And the energy of sunlight seems to be more than just a source of energy for Carl. It also has a healing power for Carl. This is of great reference value to me."

Charon can also absorb the energy of the sun, but that comes from the transformation and application of the knowledge he has mastered, rather than a talent as a red dragon.

Although Superman Clark's ability in this area may not necessarily be better than Cuaron's at this time, once Cuaron masters such a talent, it will undoubtedly be a powerful addition.

“Little Moss, remember to mark this and remind me of this. I need to expand my thinking. This topic is the next step!”

Caron said softly.

The reference value of this was quite an unexpected surprise to Charon. Charon's path to becoming the first generation Dragon King was based on the original genes of powerful creatures in various worlds as a reference.

But in the past, Charon did not realize that his sights were still limited to powerful animals and humanoid creatures.

Although plants themselves have all the characteristics of living things, such as cell structure, metabolism, growth and development, reproduction and stress response, they are considered part of living things.

But Caron did not expect that he was limited by his habitual cognition on the simplest and most ordinary point, which happened to be a reminder to Caron.

No matter when or at what level, there will always be room for improvement and expansion in areas that you have neglected.

"The semi-fluid cytoplasm of mammals can absorb external impact and protect the organelles in the skin, while the cytoplasm in the epithelial cell tissue is more like a non-Newtonian fluid. Once it is hit hard, each cell will protect itself, making the skin as hard as iron."

Caron nodded. This was also a very useful data for reference. The strength of the body was not limited to being hard and heavy. There were countless wonderful ways in the world to make a creature stronger.

What Charon needs to choose is the best solution for himself as a dragon.

Not only is the existence of Superman Clark of great experimental reference value to Caron, but the super creatures in the Red Heaven are also valuable.

The study of Aquaman's body and his own abilities led Charon to discover something that was related to the birth of the warp engine. The advanced knowledge in the Dune universe was lost, but on this planet, the once advanced technology had a chance to reopen.

All Caron could say was that the human beings on this earth were still unable to realize how much precious potential and wealth they possessed.

Bang, bang, bang,
Behind Caron, there were countless test benches operating under the control of Little Moss, and many superhumans who had been injected with paralyzing drugs were lying quietly on the test benches.

In huge liquid culture chambers, many clones cloned from Kryptonian cells float in the nutrient solution, motionless.

That is another of Caron’s research topics.

Cuarón attempted to accelerate natural selection evolution through experiments with similar life forms, using Superman's cell genes to clone organisms to create the legendary Doomsday.

The specific steps are to expose these clones to lethal environments and attacks, collect the surviving genes after death, clone them again, and then repeat the above steps until the newly born organisms can no longer be killed.
