"Ronnie!"

Caitlin looked at Ronnie, who was still somewhat bewildered, and exclaimed in surprise before hugging him tightly.

"In the end what happened?"

Wells' eyes behind his glasses were filled with confusion. What Yi Shuihan did was incomprehensible to him, and this incomprehension turned into awe. Awe of the unknown is the instinct of all living beings.

In fact, although Yi Shuihan solved a very complicated matter for Wells and his group so easily, what Yi Shuihan did was not simple at all. It is only because Yi Shuihan is a master that things seem simple.

If Wells and his group were to use the same method to achieve what is involved, they would probably never be able to do it in their entire lives.

"Although I don't want to say anything discouraging at this time, I still want to remind you that things are not completely over."

Yi Shuihan's words once again drew the attention of everyone present.

Everyone looked at Yi Shuihan with confusion, in their opinion that the current situation was already the best possible outcome.

"They have indeed separated, but the connection has not been lost, and in this state, your superpowers cannot be used."

"He's right, the connection hasn't disappeared."

Professor Martin said that he could clearly feel an emotion that did not belong to him brewing in his body. As for the issue of ability that Yi Shuihan mentioned, it was not his concern. To him, it didn't matter whether he had ability or not. The important thing was to restore his original appearance.

After a series of examinations, it was finally confirmed that Yi Shuihan's words indicated that the connection between the two still existed. In addition to being two separate thought processes, they could also be considered as one person. If one person was injured, the other would also feel pain; if one person died, the other might also die.

This is a field that Wells and his colleagues simply cannot solve; it involves things that current science cannot reach in the short term.

The problem is that although their bodies appear to be separated, they are not actually separated; both bodies belong to the same individual.

According to Yi Shuihan's solution, all that's needed is to extract Martin's or Ronnie's soul from it and then find them a new body. In this way, they would become two independent individuals, one of whom would retain the superpower of fire.

Although he could do it, Yi Shuihan ultimately didn't bring it up, mainly because he didn't want to. Ronnie and Martin weren't on good terms with him; in fact, they were practically strangers.

Knowing that Ronnie is not dead is enough for Caitlin, isn't it?

As for what happens next, that's obviously not something Yi Shuihan needs to worry about.

Yi Shuihan would never admit that he didn't want Ronnie and Caitlin to get back together.

A few days later, with the help of Yi Shuihan's dating guide, Barry successfully found a girlfriend and officially became boyfriend and girlfriend with Iris.

Barry was very grateful to Yi Shuihan for this, and it can be said that he treated Yi Shuihan very well. It is estimated that Yi Shuihan ranked fourth in his heart, after Iris, his adoptive father, and his real father.

"Barry, there's a saying in my hometown that goes, 'A rabbit doesn't eat the grass near its burrow.' I never thought you would break the rules and even go after your sister who you grew up with. You're such a beast."

Barry didn't understand the meaning of Yi Shuihan's saying "a rabbit doesn't eat the grass near its burrow," but what followed made him a little embarrassed. Indeed, his situation was a bit... well, it was ethically acceptable, but most people probably couldn't do it.

Chapter 653, You Seem to Be Celebrating Too Soon

"easy!"

Compared to Barry's submissive demeanor, Iris acted like a powerful queen, shielding Barry behind her like a little cub, while glaring fiercely at Yi Shuihan.

"The power of love is truly amazing; it can bring about such a big change in a person. Barry, here's a piece of advice: you need to be more masculine. If you continue like this, you'll become a henpecked husband sooner or later."

"I think that's fine too."

Iris looked at Barry nervously after Yi Shuihan's words, and then Barry said something that left Yi Shuihan speechless.

"Alright, you two can keep showing off your love, I'm going to get back to what I'm doing."

Leaving behind a dashing silhouette, Yi Shuihan departed from the cutting-edge laboratory.

Walking down the main street of the city center, Yi Shuihan was thinking about whether to visit Superman's hometown, Kent Farm, when he unexpectedly discovered an interesting scene.

A man was walking around on the street, touching different people from time to time. Yi Shuihan initially thought that the man was stealing something, but that was not the case.

"What the hell is he doing?"

Yi Shuihan felt somewhat confused. For a moment, he thought the other person was just an ordinary person with a special fetish, until one day he realized that the other person had completely changed and looked like Mystique.

"So they were collecting materials!"

Comparing it with his memories, Yi Shuihan recalled the man's origins: a lucky individual who gained superpowers through a particle accelerator, and whose abilities were even more powerful than Marvel's Mystique.

It not only copies the appearance of the other party, but also their abilities. Although the copied ability is somewhat weaker than the original version, and it seems unable to evolve, it can only retain the power it has when it is copied.

Even so, Yi Shuihan had to admit that it was a good ability, but the person using it was too trashy, actually using it for such a trivial matter as stealing.

She secretly followed Mystique to a secluded area, and then watched as he transformed into an old woman and entered his lair.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Mystique."

Yi Shuihan couldn't remember the man's real name anymore. Of course, he might be able to find it if he thought about it carefully, but he didn't want to do that. He was just a nobody and not worth his attention. The reason he followed him was simply to verify something.

"Who are you? Why are you in my house? And I'm not Mystique."

The old woman looked terrified, but her eyes held a dangerous glint in them. She slowly backed away, trying to reach the pistol she thought was well hidden.

Yi Shuihan pretended not to notice Mystique's intentions and simply watched his actions quietly with a smile on her face.

Once Mystique got his weapon, he immediately transformed into a muscular giant, glaring menacingly at Yi Shuihan. "Tell me your purpose. Why are you looking for me?"

"Believe me, it doesn't feel good to have a gun pointed at you."

As soon as Yi Shuihan finished speaking, Mystique's pupils contracted, because he noticed that Yi Shuihan was holding a gun, a gun he was very familiar with.

The sensation in his hand alerted Mystique to the change; the gun was gone.

Clearly, the weapon in Yi Shuihan's hand belonged to him just now.

Even with superpowers he could never have imagined before, he was still quite frightened when faced with this bizarre situation.

However, Yi Shuihan did not seem to intend to let him go. The gun in his hand melted without warning, shrank, and finally disappeared into the air.

"Don't be afraid, I mean no harm. I just want to see what you're capable of. Come on, try and see if you can become me."

Yi Shuihan reached out his hand, offering encouragement.

Mystique's initial fear suddenly changed. The thought that if he could use his abilities to become Yi Shuihan and possess the same magical powers made his heart race.

His IQ dropped by 100% in an instant, and he almost became an idiot.

Trembling, she walked up to Yi Shuihan, her eyes filled with a sense of reverence, and slowly touched Yi Shuihan's hand.

Then, his body slowly changed, transforming into the appearance of Yi Shuihan.

Unlike his encounter with the Flash in the original comics, he didn't see Barry's abilities at the time. Also, Barry's physical strength wasn't actually that great; he was just fast and had a quick recovery, which made it difficult to perceive. Therefore, he didn't use Barry's abilities immediately.

Now, when Mystique transforms into Yi Shuihan, he immediately senses the difference within himself. His entire body is filled with a feeling of power, as if he stands at the pinnacle of all living beings, capable of destroying a house with just a slight gesture.

"Ha ha ha ha"

Mystique laughed wildly, his previous fear of Yi Shuihan completely gone, and the powerful sense of strength made him feel invincible.

With this power, Mystique even felt that he had become God.

"You seem to be celebrating a little too soon. I'll take your life now; consider it the price for experiencing immense power."

A faint voice sounded, and before Mystique could even react, he found his body gradually turning into nothingness.

"No!"

Even in death, Mystique didn't understand why he, who already possessed such immense power, was so easily killed by Yi Shuihan.

"I overestimated you. Is what you copied just my body? You have no cultivation level. At most, you can only deal with an ordinary Dao Integration Realm cultivator."

Who told you to impersonate Barry and molest Caitlin!

If Mystique knew he died because of things he hadn't done yet, I wonder if he would have been resurrected.

Without a realm matching his power, his combat strength was more than a hundred times weaker than those with a higher realm, which is why he was so easily killed by Yi Shuihan.

"It seems that the changes brought about by particle accelerators have not yet touched on some ethereal things, such as the perception of realms. They are more related to the physical body. But that's normal. The realm that is only theoretical and has no substance is not something that this technology can reach."

Having helped Barry resolve a problem ahead of time, and having also done some physical activity, Yi Shuihan was in a good mood.

Chapter 654, Zod's Threat

"what happened?"

In the cutting-edge laboratory, all the monitors turned into a screen full of static, and then, to everyone's astonishment, a man dressed in strange clothing appeared on them.

"Even the phone was controlled, and this one isn't connected to the internet. How did they manage to do that?"

Cisco stared at his tablet in surprise.

“￥＆”

After a string of words that no one on Earth could understand, it slowly transformed into normal English.

"Hello, Earthlings. Let me introduce myself. My name is Zod, you can call me General Zod. Krypton, I'm sorry to bother you, but there's something I have to do. One of our kin is on your planet, right in your center. His name is Kal'el. Find him and hand him over to us, or I will destroy this planet. Trust us, we have the power to do so."

As soon as he finished speaking, everything returned to normal, as if everything before had been an illusion.

Extraterrestrials—people have been searching for and trying to prove the existence of extraterrestrials all along, but no one could have imagined that they would appear in this way.

Ordinary people might not be too concerned about the threat posed by Zod, but the government felt immense pressure from the technological prowess displayed by Zod. This ability to control all electronic devices silently far exceeded their technological capabilities, making it utterly incomprehensible to them.

This also means that all weapons controlled by electronic information can be controlled by the other side at any time. Without even lifting a finger, just a single command can paralyze the Earth, leaving it battered and wrecked by the very weapons it created.

Of course, the government's opinion doesn't matter; what matters most is Superman's will. His own power is enough to fight against all the ordinary people on Earth, and the government cannot influence him.

If Superman wanted to, he could easily take care of Zod and his gang right now.

However, it is clear that Superman does not have that awareness yet, after all, they are his own kind, and it has not yet come to the point where he has no choice but to do so.

The cutting-edge laboratory fell silent, stunned and unable to process the sudden news.

At this moment, Yi Shuihan noticed Wells' expression and found that he was also shocked, and that shock was not fake, but real.

"What's going on? Logically speaking, he should know about Superman's existence, so he shouldn't be reacting like this."

Keeping this question in mind, Yi Shuihan began to ponder the matter of Superman.

Should I get involved? Although I don't need to get involved, nothing major will happen.

"It seems we have no choice but to go."

Just as Yi Shuihan was pondering, the system, which hadn't spoken since arriving in this world, finally spoke up, and it was about something important: it issued a task.

Save the Earth and ensure that the number of deaths caused by the Zod incident does not exceed 100, and you will be rewarded with a chance to win a prize.

To Yi Shuihan's surprise, the lottery had a detailed explanation: he could only win one ability from this world, which would become his power in the form of a skill.

Even without the mission, Yi Shuihan would have gone to check it out anyway, since the live version of the Superman battle is quite eye-catching. Now that there's a mission reward as payment, Yi Shuihan wouldn't mind doing something.

Zod's goal is to transform Earth into an environment similar to his home planet Krypton, creating another Krypton. In doing so, all humans on Earth will perish, as Krypton's environment is unsuitable for them.

In the original story, Zod's objective was only halfway achieved, resulting in countless deaths. Therefore, if Yi Shuihan wants to complete the mission, he must act before the other side can transform the Earth, and they must also try to avoid casualties when fighting the military.

Considering the Kryptonians' fighting power, 100 people are really not a big number. Even if they are not as good as the original Superman, any soldier can easily kill thousands of ordinary people.

In this way, if Yi Shuihan is not careful, the mission may fail. Fortunately, Yi Shuihan's system is different from other seductive and shameless systems. It was created because of him, so there is no punishment, only reward. If the mission fails, nothing will happen.

"It seems our alien friends aren't very friendly, but I believe they can't do anything to our planet. Earth is dangerous, with so many superheroes, like The Flash."

Yi Shuihan said with a relaxed expression, and this relaxed attitude was contagious to the others in the laboratory.

In some ways, Yi Shuihan's mystery and power made them feel that aliens weren't so scary after all.

"It's unbelievable that aliens actually exist, and now they're appearing right in front of us, even though the way they're appearing is very strange."

As Caitlin spoke, it was clear that she was still somewhat unsettled; her face was slightly paler than usual.

"Yes, we have so many superheroes, we will definitely get through this crisis."

Cisco tried to console himself.

As for Barry, he clenched his hands tightly, seemingly making a decision in his heart.

"In fact, I also want to meet the alien he's looking for. I've tried to meet him several times, but I haven't been able to."

Yi Shuihan's words surprised everyone, as it meant that Yi Shuihan might have known all along.

"Don't ask me why, I'll explain when I have time. For now, I probably know where I should go to see him."

The figure vanished like a phantom in the laboratory, leaving behind only a group of people filled with questions.

Metropolis, Daily Planet

"Excuse me, is Louise here?"

“Louise, if you’re looking for her, she’s right there.”

"Oh, thank you so much."

"You're welcome."
