Mr. Norman isn't here, so my workload is too heavy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Felicia was mentally exhausted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Other secretaries either worked or were... worked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike her, who worked like crazy, and when she had free time, she still had to satisfy her boss's terrifying demands, her legs were still a bit weak now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Norman absent, Felicia realized that the seemingly inarticulate, research-oriented former president was truly a workhorse. There was no end to the work, absolutely no end!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Felicia had been dealing with various documents since early morning. She hadn't even graduated yet, how could she possibly bear such a heavy responsibility?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But there was no choice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Currently, Aaron was in charge of Osborn Industries. He only gave orders, Norman executed them, and the entire secretarial department was in a frenzy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Norman absent, only Aaron and Felicia could make decisions. Felicia had no choice but to bravely step up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was the new headquarters inspection, Exposition arrangements, Sun Project, Regeneration Cradle Project progress scheduling, and also handling various appointments.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even after becoming Spider-Woman, Felicia still felt her brain was fried, wishing she could learn Clone Jutsu and create two of herself... no, perhaps four or five would barely be enough?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aaron glanced at the mountain of documents and felt a pang of sympathy. Then he looked at Helen with his far-sighted eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the latter had gone all out last night to research Aaron's version of the celestial flower and hadn't woken up yet. Even in her sleep, she still tightly clutched a celestial flower in her hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guessing she was awake, she wanted to immediately throw herself into research.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After hesitating for a moment, Aaron looked towards Barbara.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Oh, look, she was still studying with Kate right now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for Skye... she had discussed a multi-billion deal with Aaron again. Already unrestored, she was now completely out of the question.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aaron sighed, \"Felicia, contact a plane for me. I'm going to New Mexico alone.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Felicia rolled her eyes, then weakly picked up her phone to contact a private plane.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After notifying the other party, the itinerary was arranged properly, and the airport in New Mexico also began preparations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aaron went to the storage room as usual. He then had the insect shop owner bring the items, paid a considerable reward, and sent the man away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most of the abilities this time were duplicates. In terms of intensity, they were not as good as before and could not bring him much improvement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He also smelted some plants this time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aaron had already made up his mind. Every species on Earth must be smelted once. He even needed to acquire species from the entire Universe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since devouring one was the same as devouring two, he might as well devour them all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Absorbing all beneficial traits into himself was the first step toward omnipotence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After melting down these plants, the greatest improvement was his increased efficiency in absorbing light energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides that, there was another decent improvement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Super Respiration: A similar ability has been detected. Fusion complete. You possess higher respiratory efficiency. Furthermore, every pore and every cell on your body can breathe, allowing normal respiratory function even in water.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Super Respiration also underwent fusion with abilities like light energy absorption and kinetic energy absorption, evolving into more efficient energy absorption.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His efficiency in absorbing various unowned energies around him improved further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every cell and every pore was like a greedy glutton, frantically devouring the surrounding energy, as well as the energy of the Solar Core.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unseen by outsiders, his body's interior was like a high-speed machine, undergoing earth-shattering changes every moment. Every day, he felt himself growing stronger again. This was not an illusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From large organs down to cellular structures, he could clearly sense their changes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The storage, consumption, and distribution of every bit of energy, the birth and death of every cell... he knew them all clearly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Precisely because of this, he understood exactly what kind of terrifying changes were happening inside his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If someone were to study him at this moment, they would surely cry out in shock: Impossible, absolutely impossible!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To put it this way, the energy contained in every single one of his cells far exceeded that of a conventional human missile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After another period of time, each cell would be comparable to Tony's Generation One arc reactor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps a few months later, it would be comparable to, or even far surpass, Tony's Generation Two arc reactor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And he had one hundred trillion such cells.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If displayed as data, a Generation One arc reactor outputs three billion joules of energy per second for fifteen minutes, totaling approximately 2.7 * 10^12 joules, enough to easily blow up a skyscraper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Generation Two arc reactor is a thousand times more powerful than Generation One, reaching 10^15 joules. If this power were to explode simultaneously, it could even destroy a small town.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, with Aaron's current conventional strength, destroying a city was easy. Destroying a country was not difficult either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Going even further, such as deploying several Solar Cores and detonating them like bombs... that power would be enough to cause despair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, with current human technology, studying Aaron's body would not be easy. Even just one cell could resist all known human technology.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, Aaron was not worried about any residual cells falling into external hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter how they studied him, they could never catch up to his growth speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aaron declared: Study all you want, chase all you want. If you can see my exhaust fumes, I admit defeat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Speaking of which, I am definitely stronger than Henry after thirty years of sun exposure. I just wonder, compared to Odin, who is stronger?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aaron thought about it and felt his chances of winning were high.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, his abilities were too all-encompassing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, Odin was too old. If he were two thousand years younger, they might have a good fight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aaron took a deep breath and temporarily stopped thinking about these things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stepping onto the private plane alone and looking at the empty cabin, Aaron felt something was missing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's missing a few busty flight attendants.\" Aaron suddenly realized.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a turn of his head, he thought about asking Felicia to find two suitable ones. But after considering it, he decided to find them himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The main reason was that the current environment was bad, and who knew if the people Felicia found were agents arranged by someone else.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Aaron had a slightly bigger appetite, he might even be able to establish a \"Mini United Nations.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That feeling would be marvelous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aaron closed his eyes in contemplation. The feeling of having no one accompanying him was quite unpleasant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps his strength had increased too quickly, or he had too many abilities, but Aaron always felt a great deal of internal fire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It definitely isn't my nature, yes, it's an ability issue.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1196,"2026-06-05T16:52:19.138Z",1,"novelbin.me","b7ecd2b5b9b2078a9f549d85532102899a7c958719be42be7fe7eefb2bfac8be","marvel-the-devourer-chapter-53","marvel-the-devourer-chapter-51",363,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fmarvel-the-devourer-cover.jpg"]
