The Comprehensive Evolution of American Comics

Although he said he wanted to broaden Zs'Skayr's horizons, Yang Le himself wasn't entirely sure of success, but with X-Cellence as a backup, he could take a gamble.

In just a moment, Yang Le made up his mind. He sent one Martian Ghost to find Gwen, tasking him with escaping this universe with her if Yang Le failed. The other Martian Ghost was to watch over Zs'Skayr, making him observe from the sidelines.

Meanwhile, Yang Le, in his Kryptonian form, suppressing Robert's body, would be responsible for dealing with the gamma energy bomb.

Using the Martian's information download ability, the Martian Ghost transmitted everything that was happening into Kryptonian Yang Le's brain, including his risky plan.

"That's a crazy plan," Kryptonian Yang Le couldn't help but smirk. Even though they were the same person, Yang Le couldn't help but marvel at his own madness.

"Are you sure I can let him go?" Kryptonian Yang Le asked Martian Ghost Yang Le beside him.

"Of course." Martian Ghost Yang Le, using several tentacles to control Zs'Skayr, nodded. "You should be able to feel that Robert is no longer resisting. He has lost the ability to act and has completely become a bomb."

"Once he completes the energy conversion in his body, he will explode without any warning. However, with the Martian's telepathic abilities, I can sense his conversion progress. It's already 80% complete."

Hearing that the crisis was imminent, Kryptonian Yang Le didn't waste any more words and immediately released Robert, whom he had been controlling for a long time. Robert, without Yang Le's restraint, knelt on the ground like a corpse, motionless.

Activating the Omnitrix, a black, insulated, pigtail-wearing AmpFibian appeared in a flash of white light.

That's right, Yang Le's plan was to use AmpFibian's ability to absorb any energy to absorb all the gamma energy into his body.

This plan was based on AmpFibian's previous absorption of the Annihilargh's energy. The Annihilargh possesses the power to erase a universe, its danger at least comparable to Sentinel's energy, if not stronger.

Since AmpFibian could absorb its energy, it meant that AmpFibian could also absorb all of Sentinel's energy. However, based on the original work, it's questionable whether AmpFibian can withstand the entire Annihilargh's energy.

After all, there was a scene where all the alien heroes appeared, so it couldn't be ruled out that all the alien heroes shared the Annihilargh's energy equally. If that were the case, then X-Cellence undoubtedly took the lion's share.

In fact, Yang Le himself leaned towards this guess. If AmpFibian could really absorb the entire Annihilargh's energy on his own, then the Annihilargh's danger wouldn't be so high.

So, Yang Le added some small improvements to this plan. The first was Ultimate Evolution.

Activating the Omnitrix again, the Ultimate Evolution program started, and white light enveloped AmpFibian once more. When the white light dissipated, Ultimate AmpFibian made a grand appearance.

AmpFibian's distinctive black insulated skin didn't change much. However, AmpFibian's originally slender body became a bit more robust, but not exaggeratedly so, just with more defined muscle lines.

AmpFibian still had bronze-colored bolts distributed across his body. These existing features aside, the biggest changes were to his head, hands, feet, and chest.

AmpFibian's hands and feet were all covered in copper-colored armor, but not much. The armor on his hands only reached his elbows, and the armor on his feet only reached his knees. The armor also had evenly distributed, uniformly sized bolts. His chest was also covered with a layer of bronze chest armor, but only on the chest, looking like he was wearing a midriff-baring top, full of swagger.

AmpFibian's head was also wearing a bronze helmet, but the helmet only covered up to AmpFibian's eyes, and his large white teeth were still exposed, shining brightly. AmpFibian's signature pigtails underwent earth-shattering changes, becoming several copper tubes of the same size, three on each side intertwined, and no longer long, just barely past his shoulders.

"Bang!"

AmpFibian bumped his fists together in front of his chest, revealing his signature confident smile.

"Let's begin. I can't wait to slap Zs'Skayr's ugly face."

"Was that a metaphor?" Zs'Skayr, who was being controlled, couldn't help but ask, because it was already dark, so he wouldn't be killed by the sun even if he appeared outside.

"Don't worry, there's a second part to the plan." The Martian Ghost stopped Ultimate AmpFibian's rashness, splitting off another clone to transform into another alien hero.

A short, fat, green body with a simple and honest expression, it was Upchuck, the cosmic locust.

Absorb with AmpFibian, and then have Upchuck help share the load. This was the plan Yang Le came up with. Although simple, it was indeed the best solution besides X-Cellence.

Seeing that Upchuck was in position, Ultimate AmpFibian immediately began preparing to absorb the energy. He raised his hands and held them flat on either side of Robert's body, and then his hands covered with bronze armor began to transform.

AmpFibian's forearms lengthened slightly, and the joints of his extended fingers exposed constantly jumping blue electricity. The electricity crackled, and a Tesla coil-like object appeared in each of AmpFibian's palms.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

With a series of muffled sounds, the bolts on AmpFibian's body popped out one after another. Each cylindrical object with threads was the true form of those bolts. Also popping out were AmpFibian's braids. The copper tubes on his head extended cables covered with an unknown silver substance, and the ends of the cables had plugs.

It turned out that AmpFibian's plug pigtails hadn't disappeared, they were just hidden. They looked not only stronger but also more numerous.

"Catch my braids." Ultimate AmpFibian shouted, and Upchuck knew he was talking to him without asking.

"Ultimate AmpFibian has added a new ability based on absorbing various energies," Ultimate AmpFibian said smugly. "That is, not only can I convert energy into electrical energy, but I can convert it into any energy I can understand."

"In case you get hurt by the electricity, I will convert the gamma energy into life energy. Now it depends on whether our appetites are big enough."

"Don't worry," Upchuck wiped the drool from his mouth and gave Ultimate AmpFibian a thumbs up. "I can eat all day!"

"That's good!" Ultimate AmpFibian smiled evilly and asked the Martian Ghost again.

"How long until Robert's energy conversion is complete?"

"99%," the Martian Ghost's eerie voice came from the side. "Now it's 100%."

As soon as the Martian Ghost finished speaking, many cracks suddenly appeared on Robert's body, seeping out a strange green light, and then a huge amount of energy surged out along with it.
