Ch: 114 [New Threats]

Ch: 114 [New Threats]

After the display of power, I'm sitting before the Ancient One in the main hall. I guess, some explanations are on the way—first magic and now Chi.

"Sooo... What now? I don't want to stay here stuck forever learning one thing after the other and I'm pretty sure there's a place called K'un-Lun where they teach Chi and all that stuff, but there is no way I'm gonna use my youth moving from one temple to another and spend half my life on the training ground for god knows how long. So, use that op magic of yours and fix this. I don't want those crazy single-minded people from K'un-Lun knocking on my door wanting me to go with them or try to kill me for having Chi..." I lay it all out.

I've spent enough time and learned enough from them and I'm thankful for that. But I have a life outside of all this mess. I want to go out and meet my family and friends. I've worried them enough to last a lifetime... Can't do it anymore.

"You know the existence of K'un-Lun?" She was a bit surprised.

"You already know that I know many things. But that's not the problem. The main problem right now is I have too many powers and I don't want to spend the rest of my days just training. And yeah, you will say, have patience and all. You see, this is me, having patience. I spent eight months in bed, then almost two months here, learning magic, patiently by suppressing my emotions and everything, but at the same time, I've caused too much pain to my family and I've many things still left to do out there, so... Give me a solution. Peek into the future. Yeah, I know, you said you can't see mine. But I'm sure you found a way around that... So, help me out..." I asked for her help.

The Ancient One looked deep in thought as she tapped her finger on the table for a few seconds.

"I could have used my magic, but sadly, it won't work on you. As for 'what now?', it's simple. You are going to learn to use Chi. There's no other way. I understand your situation, but going out with unstable power... You'll put your loved ones in danger. I can use artifacts to suppress your power, but are you going to take the risk?" She said with her usual stoic expression.

"And how long it would take me to master that?" I raised my eyebrow at her.

"Not as long as you think. You see, Peter, you are unique. You possess immense focus and the ability to process complicated things very easily. You breezed passed all the tests and even managed to learn advanced magic without any help in less than two months. You are a fast learner..." She explained the things I already knew.

My spider power gives me focus and fused with my mind, I can easily understand things others find complicated. Just like how easily I've mastered all those spells from the books. But with these many powers in my body, I don't even know which one to learn or use. It's like a jumbled-up mess.

"And... How's all that going to help me?" I asked once again.

Even though I know what Chi is and what I can achieve with it, I don't have a training manual.

"Just as magic uses focus, to learn Chi, you will need that focus. You see, every living being has Chi flowing in the veins. But using it is a completely different matter. To do that, you will need to be patience and you will need immense focus. So, meditate, but instead of focusing on magic, circulate the Chi in your body. You can feel it, can't you? It belongs to you, So, how difficult do you think it is going to be for you to control something that belongs to you?" She added another set of logic, but, really, there was no guarantee I would be able to control my Chi on the first try...Upstodatee from n(0)/ve/lbIn/.(co/m

Hahaha! Damn! Since when did I start doubting myself?

Let's give it a try, shall we?

I sat there and began the process. Just like the Ancient One asked. Instead of magic, I started to circulate the Chi. Feeling the flows, grasping at the veins where it travels. Though at first, the energy slipped through my grasp, the more and more I tried, I got used to it.

I kept going until I lost all sense of time, not realizing the whole day had passed by. It's like if I get up now, I'm gonna lose something real good.

But, just sitting here and circulating Chi is kinda boring.

So, let's think about what I can do with Chi.

Humm...

Chi blasts, glowing fists one shot kill, rapid healing, superior senses... Although I already have my Spider Senses and rapid healing. I wonder how far my senses and healing would improve after using Chi. Anyway, let's see...

What else?

Ah! I remember it now... I'll be able to use pressure points to hurt my enemies, sounds nice. Next is, Nervous System Control, which will allow me to suppress pain, and bleeding and even pass through a lie detector test. But the deadly one is the Black-Black Poison Touch, a Chi blast that can kill anyone within a certain radius around me. It's like an AOE instant kill ability.

Otto Octavius was performing an experiment on himself. After he learned about Peter's condition and that he might not wake up again, he lost all hope. His body was deteriorating daily and now he barely has three months before he loses everything.

Degenerative Neurological Disorder: Otto is suffering from a degenerative disease, causing him to slowly lose his motor functions. He is estimated to be fully disabled within the next three months. With Peter out of the picture, all the experiments and implants he was working on got shut down and his family refused to sell it to him or any other organizations. Plus with Sue Storm with them, it was impossible for Otto to get his hands on Peter's research. So, Otto found no other way but to develop it himself.

He developed mechanical limbs with artificial nerve conductivity, but even after attaching a billion microtubules to the four tentacles to aid in the conduction of signals from his brain, it was still far away from what the artificial arms needed to be able to do, but the new AI he developed might just help with that.

He also attached four microdrones with metal fibers. He spent sleepless nights working on it and today he was ready to use those microdrones as artificial legs, thus increasing his sensory perception and moving speed. Although they cannot perform like real legs, they are still more than enough to enhance the quality of his life.

He strapped himself to a machine then he injected a serum into his spine and pressed the start button. Instantly, the restraints activated, binding him in place and the process began. The machine attached the tentacles to his back then the small microbots were slowly connected to his nervous system.

All he could feel was unbearable pain like a billion needles were trying to eat their way through his nervous system.

However, the sudden fluctuation in power caused the machine to short circuit, causing a big explosion. Otto's body flew out of the machine like a bullet and crashed into the wall.

[Location: Unknown]

A small shooting star fell on Earth. The place where it crashed was completely burned and a small crater was seen. From inside the crater, a gooey red blob-like mass got out. It didn't stay there for long and began to crawl toward the highway.
