An associate professor in life engineering travels to a medieval European fantasy world. Using modern biochemistry, he discovers that viruses, bacteria, and parasites extinct in human history are a...
Rachel nodded, then pointed to the bottles and jars on the table: "Hasn't Muxi Academy developed a drug that can eliminate specific supernatural bacteria in the body through long-term experiments?"
Todd's eyes lit up: "You mean...?"
"What I'm thinking is that you can eliminate the superpower bacteria in your body that you won't need in the short term, leaving only the ones you use regularly. This way, whether in your normal or evolved state, you can effectively enhance the power of your superpowers. And if you need a certain superpower in the future, you can just find it in the superpower database and inject it into your body, right?"
Rachel's words gave Todd a lot of inspiration, and he began to think about the state of his superpowers.
It seems that I have a large number of superpowers within me, but their effectiveness is greatly reduced when used. If I could adjust the available superpowers in my body according to changes in the situation and environment, it would definitely be a great idea that would achieve twice the result with half the effort.
With this in mind, Todd began discussing the choice of superpowers with Rachel.
"Regeneration and Steel Skin are both protective abilities and should be preserved."
Rachel nodded: "The speed ability can be used to quickly escape the battlefield, so we should stay."
Todd was somewhat embarrassed: "The word 'escape' is too harsh."
"As a king, do you really want to act like a gladiator, charging recklessly into battle?!"
Todd shrugged. "Okay, Hawkeye can't be eliminated, because I need it for my research."
“Body transformation and soul link cannot be deleted; these are two frequently used abilities.” Rachel counted on her fingers: “The rest are X-ray vision, night vision, weakness, underwater breathing, pain suppression, and earth manipulation…”
“These abilities are indeed used infrequently, but they are all somewhat useful…” Todd was now like a conflicted shopaholic, clearly unable to carry anything else, but still reluctant to give up his abilities. After all, these abilities had been with him for quite some time.
"As it stands, these superpowers are not very useful."
Todd was a little troubled by Rachel's words. Rachel said, "If we reduce these superpowers like this, then a problem will arise."
"What's the problem?"
"I will not have any offensive abilities; they will all be defensive and shapeshifting abilities."
Rachel pondered for a moment, then nodded in agreement, "You're right. We do need some offensive methods when encountering enemies. Let me think about it. The Weakening ability only works in close combat, and using it in battle is very risky; the Earth Control ability is slow to activate, and most of the land in the North is permafrost, which is not conducive to the ability's effectiveness. These two abilities are not suitable for use in group combat."
Todd suggested, "How about the freezing ability? The power of the ability can be increased in such a cold environment."
Rachel nodded in agreement with Todd's opinion.
After deciding on the addition or reduction of his superpowers, Todd began using the targeted bacteriophages modified by Twilight Academy to remove the more useful superpowers from his body one by one, and injected a bacterial fluid containing freezing superpowers.
At this point, Todd's number of superpowers has been reduced to seven: regeneration, metallic skin, speed, eagle eyes, shapeshifting, soul link, and freezing.
