Chapter 593: The Fantastic Four, the birth of Nova, and the Thing who turned his luck around

A blinding light illuminated the entire space station. Surging, powerful energy poured into their bodies, and seconds later, it erupted through them, heading straight for Su Quan.

"It's here!"

An impatient look appeared on Su Quan's face. The dark green Fairy Force formed a bat-like totem behind him, and the hunger seemingly born from his soul made him tremble slightly.

Devour, Fairy Force!

Su Quan went all out, as if he had become a gluttonous beast devouring all things, or a bottomless black hole, causing the incoming energy to be uncontrollably drawn into his body.

A few minutes later, the sun flares that had blotted out the sky vanished. Immediately after, with several *bang* sounds, Susan and the other four collapsed to the ground, unconscious.

"Hiccup—"

Su Quan retracted the Fairy Force and let out an uncontrollable burp, subconsciously patting his unrelated stomach.

Full?

No, this sense of satisfaction only lasted a few seconds before disappearing, because the Fairy Force possessed an insatiable hunger.

Su Quan looked at Susan and the others; the longing in his eyes flashed and vanished. The cosmic energy within them was changing their genes and bodies.

As of now, including Frankie Raye, none of them were in life-threatening danger.

Su Quan teleported them into his pocket dimension, teleported the space station staff out, implanted them with false memories that he had never brought anyone to the station, and then teleported back to his home on Earth.

Su Quan sat on the sofa, drinking while waiting for them to wake up.

Time passed. A few hours later, sensing someone waking up in the pocket dimension, Su Quan flashed and entered.

The first person to wake up was actually Frankie Raye!

Frankie Raye held her forehead and shook her head, looking slightly dazed. Then, she looked at the curious Su Quan and asked excitedly, "I'm not dead... does this mean I succeeded, that I gained superpowers?"

Su Quan lifted a finger, and Frankie Raye instantly lost control of her body, floating up to a standing position.

"Ding!"

"Combat detected, drop reward: High-Temperature Flame (Frankie Raye)"

The drop reward sound rang out.

Su Quan raised an eyebrow. Could this be considered a predetermined fate? Although the method was different, Frankie Raye still gained the abilities of a female Human Torch.

"Your ability is that your body can generate high temperatures, emit flames, and fly at supersonic speeds while in a flaming state."

"Your limit temperature can produce a Nova-level explosion of up to one million degrees Fahrenheit. From now on, your codename will be—Nova!"

Frankie Raye nodded, lost in thought as she looked down and opened her hands.

"Boom!"

Two clusters of scorching flames shot out from her hands, then began to sway surgingly.

Frankie Raye stood up excitedly. As her heartbeat grew stronger and her emotions more intense, more and more flames erupted from her body.

She clenched her fists, swung her arms down forcefully, and having turned into a human torch, she instantly shot into the sky.

At first, it was a bit intermittent and jerky, but within a few minutes, she had already mastered how to fly using her ability.

It must be said, her comprehension and control were far better than the Human Torch who had just gained his powers in the movie.

"Unh..."

Groans sounded as Susan, Reed, Jonathan, and Benjamin woke up one after another.

Aside from their bodies feeling slightly fatigued, their spirits seemed quite good!

The 'Fantastic Four', having already known their abilities in advance, made minor adjustments and began using their respective powers.

Susan turned invisible one moment and released force fields the next; although a bit clumsy, she was having a great time.

Jonathan, needless to say, was the most 'lively' of the four. Upon discovering that Frankie Raye's ability was the same as his, he felt a bit annoyed and unconvinced.

Without even mastering his ability, he flew straight up to find Frankie Raye for a contest, looking like he wanted to settle who was better.

Although their abilities were the same, one was a devil-may-care playboy who loved to show off, and the other was a well-trained, focused soldier. Putting aside the protagonist halo, Jonathan definitely couldn't compare to Frankie Raye.

"I... I didn't turn into the Thing, and I don't feel any changes either?"

Benjamin glanced at Reed, whose arms were stretched out long, and walked up to Su Quan, feeling uneasy.

You promised me there wouldn't be any accidents!

Of the five of them, the ones Su Quan was most curious about were Frankie Raye and Benjamin.

The former was because she never gained powers in the movie, so no one knew what the result would be.

The latter was because the details had been changed, and he didn't know if it would have a ripple effect.

However, it was simple to find out if he had gained powers and what they were!

Su Quan waved his hand at him, and a nearly tangible telekinetic force struck him, instantly blasting him away.

"Ben!"

Seeing his good buddy fly away, Reed subconsciously reached out his arm to grab him, but then a sudden change occurred. Benjamin, in mid-air, let out a loud shout, and his body instantly expanded, undergoing a earth-shattering transformation.

"Rip—"

Benjamin's uniform was torn apart, and his ordinary skin turned into brown rock. At a glance, he was the spitting image of the Thing, made of pieces of rock.

"Bang!"

Benjamin landed heavily; just the sound was enough to tell how heavy he was.

"Ding!"

"Combat detected, drop reward: Stone Form (the Thing)"

At the same time, Su Quan had also gained the ability.

It must be said, don't let the Thing's ugly appearance fool you; his ability is truly not weak. His stone-formed body gave him very strong resistance to damage, along with immense strength.

According to the comics, the Thing's strength started at only five tons, slowly increasing through training to eighty-five, ninety, and even one hundred tons.

His super-strong resistance and one hundred tons of strength made him one of the few beings who could go toe-to-toe with the Hulk.

He became uglier, but also stronger!

Su Quan sensed the ability he had gained from him. Because of the radiation dosage, his overall strength and upper limit probably wouldn't reach the level seen in the comics, or even the movies.
