Inside the bookstore lounge, Lucas sighed deeply and picked up his phone to call Erin.
The path to accumulate the energy needed to upgrade was long, so Lucas decided to quicken his pace.
A mont later, the call connected.
A slightly hoarse voice ca through. "Hello?"
From the voice, Lucas detected drowsiness, confusion, displeasure, and doubt. Clearly, Erin had not yet woken up from her sleep.
Because of this, Lucas couldn't help but blurt out, "At your age, how can you even sleep?"
"Huh?! Who are you, and what do you want with ?" This ti, Erin's voice gained a bit more clarity.
"I'm Lucas." Lucas was puzzled.
"Erin, don't you check caller ID when you answer the phone?"
"Oh, Lucas, is there sothing urgent this early? If not, I'll call you back after I wake up."
Lucas vaguely heard a yawn from the other end of the phone.
"Erin, do you still want a spider totem? If you do, go to the training ground at Avengers Tower imdiately."
On the other end of the phone, Erin's sleepiness vanished instantly, feeling a surge of energy erupt from her head and spread rapidly.
She couldn't help but shiver, her heart raced, and her fingers holding the phone trembled slightly.
"Lucas, are you serious?"
"Sorcerer Spider-Man doesn't lie to Sorcerer Spider-Man."
With that, Lucas hung up the phone.
Hours later, at the training ground outside Avengers Tower, Erin was undergoing various tests.
The spider totem Lucas had replicated was a type of directional enhancent, and its effects were relatively quick. In just a few hours, the transformation could largely be completed.
A small portion of her potential would need to be gradually unlocked through long-term training later on.
Besides Lucas and Erin, Steve was also present. He spent most of his ti in the training ground. He was currently assisting Erin in collecting data.
"Lucas, these are Erin's physical test results." Steve handed Lucas a form, his tone filled with unsuppressable shock.
He knew this girl, a mber of the Phantom Band, nicknad Sorcerer Spider-Man, and one of New York's street heroes.
Before the Super Hero Registration Act was enacted, she was mainly active in Queens, New York.
According to the data collected by the Avengers, this girl possessed physical abilities several tis beyond that of an ordinary person.
Her strength, speed, and reflexes were all excellent. However, her physique was still slightly inferior to that of a soldier injected with the Super Soldier Serum.
Even with training, she could at most beco an elite warrior, not a true super-powered individual.
Steve glanced at Erin's physical test form again. Even though he couldn't clearly see the data due to the angle, this did not affect anything, as he had already firmly morized the data.
"Strength to lift 80 tons, limit unknown."
"Vertical jump approximately 26 ters."
"Maximum speed exceeding the speed of sound, approaching Mach 1.3."
This physical test data far surpassed all types of Super Soldier Serum recipients.
Most importantly, it surpassed most Spider-n in their normal state.
Lucas was very satisfied with this.
If the spider totem he modified wasn't as effective as the original, wouldn't he be embarrassed?
"Erin, stay here for a while and get used to your vastly increased strength. Don't go ho until you can skillfully control it."
"Now, ordinary people are like cakes in front of you. You might accidentally break them." Lucas cautioned.
"Mm." Erin nodded heavily, unconsciously exerting force with her feet.
Crack... Crack...
The training ground floor cracked, and fissures spread from under her feet.
Lucas and Steve had already grown accustod to the unintentional destruction caused by Erin.
"Rember this carefully." Lucas cautioned again.
Erin assured him again, "Lucas, don't worry, I won't go anywhere during this ti. I'll just stay here. I'll call ho right now."
Saying that, Erin was about to pick up the phone she had placed aside earlier to call her family.
Crack...
The phone was picked up, but it was already twisted into a ss and unusable.
Seeing this, Lucas had no choice but to have Erin tell him the number, and he dialed it for her. Then, he helped hold it, letting Erin explain the situation to her family herself.
And so on and so forth.
After an explanation, Erin successfully convinced her parents.
"Alright then, let's start training, Erin. Try to get familiar with your current strength as soon as possible, then you can go ho."
Lucas first patted Erin's shoulder in encouragent, then turned to ask Steve for a favor, "Steve, please help test Erin's data once a day. Her potential hasn't been fully unleashed yet, and I need to observe her future growth."
"Okay." Steve nodded, agreeing.
Anyway, after the Super Hero Registration Act was enacted, he had beco idle. Working out alone was quite boring, so having soone else around wasn't bad.
Additionally, once Erin could freely control her strength, he planned to further train her combat skills. With such excellent physical quality, it would be a waste not to train properly.
After instructing the two, Lucas left first, returning to the bookstore to relax.
Although he had experints to conduct, he didn't plan to constantly monitor Erin. Recording data periodically would suffice.
Not just now, he had been relaxing during this entire period.
In the short term, it would be difficult for G'iah and Wanda to reach the Dinsional Lord level.
And until they reached that level, Lucas would not allow them to go to other Universe to search for different dinsions.
On one hand, with insufficient strength, they would not even be able to freely enter and exit different dinsions, greatly increasing the difficulty of the search.
On the other hand, with insufficient strength, they could easily encounter danger.
Lucas didn't want to constantly worry about soone pressing a button and needing his rescue.
Lucas understood the principle of sharpening the axe before chopping wood.
'I wonder when the Reality Stone will erge.'
Lying on the sofa in the bookstore lounge, Lucas silently calculated the ti.
He didn't pay close attention to the exact ti the Reality Stone would reappear when he watched the movie (Thor 2) before transmigrating, only rembering it was in 2013.
Now, there were only two months left until 2013 would pass.
He still rembered the plot, though.
Thousands of years ago, the Dark Elves attempted to use the Aether to plunge the Universe into darkness.
Thor and Loki's grandfather, the forr Asgardian King Bor, defeated the Dark Elves and seized their divine artifact, the Aether.
He wanted to destroy the Aether but couldn't, so he could only hide it.
Thousands of years later, during the Convergence, the Aether erged and accidentally rged with Thor's girlfriend, Jane Foster.
Acquiring the Reality Stone was a plan Lucas had made long ago.
For no other reason than to strengthen the mbers of his Sorcerer Supre Team and motivate them to protect the Universe.
Of course, before giving away the Infinity Stones, Lucas would need to research them himself and eliminate any risks. And while researching, he would learn and improve the diversity of his thods.
