Chapter 131 - Monster Cells and Steppenwolf

 **Monster Cell**: This cell was harvested from Monster King Orochi. It can transform humans into monsters by activating latent genes within their bodies, granting immense power to those who consume it. However, it also amplifies negative emotions, turning the user bloodthirsty and violent. Ordinary people will be consumed by these emotions, while only those who can perfectly control their bodies can suppress them and harness the power.

**Claim?**

Monster Cells offer a significant boost to ordinary individuals.

For those with greater strength, they could even break through their existing limits and advance to a higher tier.

At most, they could transform someone into a Dragon-level Monster. Among Mutants, this would at best allow a third-tier Mutant to evolve into a fourth-tier one.

Of course, these were all Han Shaoqing's speculations; the true effects would require experimental testing.

In any case, Han Shaoqing had no intention of consuming the cells himself. With his current physique, they likely wouldn't have any effect on him anyway.

However, using them to empower his allies seemed like a promising option.

Since Big Boss possessed cloning technology, Han Shaoqing could have him clone a batch of Monster Cells and supply them to supervillains, thereby enhancing their power.

This would allow Han Shaoqing to reap a substantial harvest of check-in rewards.

The Hulk Serum approved of this plan. Han Shaoqing wasn't worried about things spiraling out of control; he had unwavering confidence in his own strength.

With just the Hulk Serum and Monster Cells, it was highly unlikely that any of the villains could reach the demi-god tier.

With this in mind, Han Shaoqing seized the opportunity while Big Boss's consciousness was in disarray. Using the blue hand of his All-Encompassing Hands, he altered the man's memories, making him completely subservient.

Though this would limit Big Boss's innovative talent, it was a minor flaw as long as he remained under Han Shaoqing's control.

Han Shaoqing didn't immediately claim his reward. Upon returning to Skull Island, he saw Handsome Guy preparing to finish off Abomination, so he intervened.

After all, Abomination was a powerful and famous supervillain, worth checking in for.

If Handsome Guy smashed his head in, how could Han Shaoqing check in?

After Handsome Guy stepped back, Han Shaoqing moved forward and stomped his foot on Abomination's forehead.

Ding! The Host is currently standing on top of Abomination, meeting the check-in criteria. Would you like to check in?

"Check in."

Checking in... 10-second countdown: 10, 9, 8, 7... 3, 2, 1. Check-in successful! Congratulations, Host, on obtaining—Steppenwolf from the DC World.

Steppenwolf: A living hell from the Fourth World, Apokolips, a member of the New Gods, brother to the God of Origin Yuga Khan, uncle to the Dark Lord Darkseid, and a member of Darkseid's Dark Elite. As Apokolips' military commander, he not only helped Darkseid usurp the throne through patricide, but also led the conquest of countless planets. He is a figure of immense power, second only to the Dark Lord himself.

His weapon is the Electro-Axe. Anyone struck by this axe transforms into a mindless Parademon, a creature driven by fear and stripped of all free will.

With the New Gods' inherent strength, Steppenwolf can even challenge Wonder Woman.

Would you like to claim?

Steppenwolf is decent. In the Justice League, only Superman stands a chance against him. Plus, since he's from the system, his loyalty is guaranteed.

Han Shaoqing had pretty much conquered Earth. Now his sights were set on the stars, and with Steppenwolf at his side, conquering the cosmos would be much easier.

"Shaoqing, what should we do with this guy?" Wanda asked.

She was long accustomed to Han Shaoqing's morbid fascination with taking heads.

"Should we... eliminate Abomination?"

"Don't... kill me... I... can... serve you!" Abomination pleaded.

Unlike the Hulk, whose rage often stripped him of reason, Abomination retained his human intellect, though he remained prone to violent outbursts.

Now utterly defeated and terrified, he dared not act arrogant.

"Lock him up. He might still be useful," Han Shaoqing decided. After a moment's consideration, he didn't kill Abomination. Instead, he used Vibranium to construct a massive cage, trapping the half-dead creature inside.

Abomination lay flat in the cage, breathing a silent sigh of relief.

He sensed these mysterious figures were no ordinary opponents, especially the Handsome Guy—he was even more terrifying than the Hulk.

Now, just the sight of the Handsome Guy made him tremble uncontrollably.

With Abomination secured, Han Shaoqing wasn't worried about him escaping.

The Vibranium cage might not hold the furious Hulk, but Abomination stood no chance.

Han Shaoqing didn't bother treating Abomination's injuries. Having inherited some of the Hulk's power, Abomination's regenerative abilities were still quite impressive.

Though Handsome Guy had nearly shattered all his bones, Han Shaoqing estimated that Abomination would recover completely within an hour or two.

"Big Boss, take this. You'll be responsible for research on the island from now on. I'll have SkyNet arrange your accommodations shortly."

After dealing with Abomination, Han Shaoqing tossed a Transformation Bracelet to Big Boss.

Skull Island was riddled with traps, and the Transformation Bracelet had multiple functions. Besides resizing the body, one of its key features was identity verification, preventing the wearer from being killed by the island's defenses.

Big Boss was quite intelligent, especially in biological research. Han Shaoqing was counting on him to research and improve the Monster Cells and Hulk Serum.

Handsome Guy tapped the Transformation Bracelet, shrinking back to human size. He pulled out his phone but hesitated.

Seeing this, Wanda said to Han Shaoqing, "I'll go talk to Handsome Guy."

"Go ahead."

Han Shaoqing was just about to find a place to summon Steppenwolf.

After parting ways with Wanda, Han Shaoqing teleported to the Mars Base.

The Mars Base was managed by Luthor, the American president—who was merely a clone.

Luthor's true strength lay in his creativity and intelligence. Being president was a waste of his talents; a clone was more than capable of handling the job.

Besides Luthor, the Mars Base housed some Mutants and adopted orphans, but the majority were robots manufactured by SkyNet.

The Mars Base was fully operational, primarily focused on mining ores and metals to build interstellar warships.

Bulma also occasionally used the teleportation array to conduct experiments on Mars.

Without greeting Luthor, Han Shaoqing arrived at the Mars Base and silently thought, "Claim Steppenwolf and the Monster Cell."

As the words faded, two beams of light—one large, one small—materialized from the void.

The Monster Cell resembled a pulsating mass of flesh, throbbing like a heart.

Han Shaoqing stored it in his Poseidon Ring and turned to the Steppenwolf emerging from the light.

*How ugly!*

This was Han Shaoqing's first impression of Steppenwolf.

Standing nearly three meters tall, Steppenwolf wore silver, spiked armor. His face was grotesque, with horns on his head and no tail. He carried a massive axe, making him look like a villain through and through.
