Chapter 114 - Chapter 114: Caitlin, You Really Are a Treasure

Alex immediately took out the Cape of Justice. This cape was the same style as Superman's, a bright fiery red. Draped over his shoulders, it looked extremely stylish.

After putting on the cape, a layer of light membrane woven from dense, intricate strands of light immediately appeared across Alex's body. It flickered once across the surface of his clothing before disappearing.

This was the biological force field activated by the Cape of Justice. Combined with Alex's own, he now had two layers of biological force field protecting him.

However, the force field generated by the Cape of Justice couldn't expand or extend to cover other objects or people.

But the cape also had the effect of negating one fatal injury. With it, Alex effectively had an extra life.

That was even more valuable than the effect of a biological force field.

He then took out the Doomsday Seed. It looked like an egg, its surface full of bumps and pits, resembling the muscular tissue on Doomsday's body. The inside was warm, and from time to time strands of bright yellow light flickered within it.

Although this thing was a consumable item, and the Doomsday bred from it could only be used for a maximum of 48 hours, if it were used in other universes where there was no kryptonite, that Doomsday would be almost invincible.

Forty-eight hours was already enough time for it to accomplish a lot.

Without a doubt, this was another trump card for Alex.

He smiled and put the Doomsday Seed back into his inventory.

Not in a hurry to return to the Seven Tower, Alex opened the shop.

Only then did he realize that quite a few new items had been added to the store.

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

[Bat Fighter Jet: One of Batman's vehicles. It has foldable wings to meet the needs of vertical takeoff and landing. It can perform precise low-altitude maneuvers and is equipped with two rotating Gatling cannons, guided missiles, and dual jet engines capable of supersonic flight.]

[Price: Proficiency Essence ×5]

———

[Anti-Superman Armor: A powered exoskeleton super armor specifically designed to counter Superman. Made from highly durable metal materials, it greatly enhances toughness and endurance. The special device in the eye section allows the wearer to see clearly in dim environments and analyze enemy movements and weaknesses.]

[Price: Proficiency Essence ×18]

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

In addition, other Batman-related items included the Grappling Gun, Ultrasonic Interference Device, Auto-Aiming Firepower Turret, and so on.

These were relatively cheap.

Next came the Superman-related items.

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

[Designated Talent Capsule: Flight]

[Description: Generates gene fragments similar to Superman's, granting the ability of "Flight." By absorbing solar radiation through the skin to create an anti-gravity field, it can offset gravity and achieve extremely high-speed flight, capable of surpassing the first cosmic velocity.]

[Price: Proficiency Essence ×22]

———

[Designated Talent Capsule: Heat Vision]

[Description: Generates Superman's gene fragments, granting the ability of "Heat Vision." Solar radiation is absorbed and stored within the body, then released through the eyes as energy beams possessing extremely strong impact and high-temperature properties.]

[Price: Proficiency Essence ×40]

———

[Complete Kryptonian Gene Generator]

[Description: After use, it replaces your own genes with those of a Kryptonian, granting talents such as flight, heat vision, super strength, and super endurance.]

[Price: Shining Proficiency Essence ×20]

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

Those were the main Superman-related items.

The first two talent capsules were one thing, but he hadn't expected the store to actually update with something as outrageous as a Complete Kryptonian Gene Generator.

After using it, even an ordinary person could become a Kryptonian Superman.

However… Alex couldn't buy it for now. After all, he didn't have any so-called Shining Proficiency Essence.

Of course, he didn't want to buy it anyway. His current abilities were no worse than a Kryptonian's, and he didn't have the fatal weakness of being restrained by kryptonite, so why give himself trouble.

He kept scrolling.

The shop had also added items like the Kryptonite Spear and Kryptonian Spaceship.

But what shocked Alex was that equipment from Wonder Woman had also appeared.

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

[Bracers of Hercules/Submission]

[Description: A powerful divine artifact from the DC universe. The wearer receives the blessing of Hercules, increasing their strength tenfold while also blocking various attacks. When stimulated by lightning, it can temporarily enhance the wearer's combat power, as if a true god has descended, crushing all opponents.]

[Price: Multiverse Crystal ×35]

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

After reading this information, Alex finally understood why Wonder Woman was so powerful.

Diana could be said to be equipped from head to toe with divine artifacts.

Take these Bracers of Hercules for example. They could amplify one's strength tenfold. It might not sound that impressive at first, but if the user were Alex or Superman, that kind of amplification would be extremely terrifying.

Take Alex himself as an example. Right now his Divine Power talent was only at 60% output, yet with one punch he had already destroyed more than half of Metropolis.

Metropolis was roughly equivalent to New York here. Including its surrounding waters, New York covered about 1,214 square kilometers.

With one punch, more than 600 square kilometers had turned into ruins. Just how terrifying was that?

After a tenfold amplification, what kind of impact would that be?

Not to mention the Bracers of Hercules could also block all kinds of attacks and even strengthen the wearer's combat power when stimulated by lightning.

With all those effects combined, the Bracers of Hercules fully deserved their status as a divine artifact.

"Hah! This is practically tailor-made for me."

But after seeing the price, Alex sighed.

For now, he couldn't afford this divine artifact.

He only had a little over 10 Multiverse Crystals in his pocket.

"So Multiverse Crystals are the currency used to buy divine artifacts. That means divine artifacts from other universes can also be purchased with it."

"And the only way to obtain crystals is by going through multiverse events."

"Caitlin, you really are a treasure."

While sighing in admiration, Alex returned to the Seven Tower.

As soon as he appeared in the command hall, Ashley came looking for him. When she saw the red cape on Alex, she let out a surprised sound.

"Homelander, is this your new look?"

Alex was in a good mood. Smiling, he nodded and spread his hands.

"Yeah. What do you think?"

Ashley forced a bright smile and said, "If you ask me, it's absolutely perfect!"

"I always felt like something was missing before. Now that you've added this cape, it's just right!"

"Elegant black, passionate red, and noble gold."

"I think this new suit fits your temperament even better!"

Alex snapped his fingers and pointed at Ashley.

"Exactly right, Miss Ashley. Starting now, your salary goes up by 10%."

Ashley was instantly overjoyed. Just saying a few flattering words and she got a 10% raise. Where could you find a boss like that?

She quickly adjusted herself again and said, "Oh right, Homelander."

"The Department of Defense hopes you can officially take office tomorrow. They've already prepared an office for you."

"If you're free tomorrow, do you think you could go take a look at the Department of Defense?"
