Mark of the Multiversal Pretender

[A few minutes later]

"This is it…." Leo muttered to himself as he entered the final code on the program before finally executing it.

At the same time as Leo pressed F5, his brain suddenly swirled and memories started flushing in his mind, overwhelming him slightly. If it wasn't for his past experiences on this, he might've passed out by now.

Pieces started falling on the puzzle as Leo guessed in his mind why this happened.

Quickly taking a look at his status, Leo was wide-eyed in surprise as his guess turned out to be a fact!

A whopping 8% was added to his Jimmy Neutron template!

That's probably the biggest percent gain he had without finishing a Quest!

"Should I start stockpiling inventions and creations? Maybe create more Artificial Intelligence?" Leo muttered to himself, as the realization that increasing Jimmy Neutron's template wasn't as hard as he expected settled in.

Putting aside the future planning, it's time to take a look at his 2nd invention in this world.

"Hello?" Leo called out, if others were here, they might think of him as a crazy person with a loose screw on his head.

[-Goodmorning, Lord Leo. Red Queen is now available and activated at your service.-]

"So the voice recognition works. What about a facial? Red Queen, scan my face and describe me in your own words."

[-Sure thing, Lord Leo. In my digital sight, your features consist of black, medium-length hair. Average brown eyes along with your other facial features. The only thing that is distinctive in your appearance compared to average people is your uniquely sharp and slightly thick eyebrows that make you less ugly and more charming.-]

"I think there's something wrong in your Digital Sight, Red Queen, don't fix it up later in a jiffy. Let's test out your other features. Show me your digital body that I created for you." Clearing out his throat, Leo changed the topic before Red Queen's words turned from slightly insulting to extremely insulting.

Upon his command, the Super Quantum Computer's screen changed and turned black as small particles made up of the color red started to swirl on the screen and form a small floating figure.

Obviously from the name itself, Leo got the inspiration from the Resident Evil franchise, the feared Artificial Red Queen.

However, Leo never liked the appearance of a realistic child as an Artificial Intelligence it was both creepy and eery. 

So in his case, the Red Queen's digital body that he created isn't realistic but more on 3d animated. More specifically, the Red Queen's appearance is inspired by a certain cute fairy assistant from a game called Genshin Impact.

[-How do I look, Lord Leo? Is my appearance to your liking? From the description code that you placed on my program that alters my virtual body, this is what I am supposed to look like.-]

"You look perfect, Red Queen. I think it's time for the main course. Are you ready to face the web of the Internet?" Leo nodded his head in satisfaction and turned slightly serious at his last sentence.

[-Yes, my lord. As you instructed in my programs, don't touch anything harmful on the internet unless you told me so and whatever I see on the internet shall not change my programmed morals, ethics, mindset, and personality.-]

"Good. You may now enter the internet." 

With a smile, Leo watched the Red Queen nod her head and disappear in a smoke of crimson red particles.

"How is it, Genesis? She's cool, right?" Leo smiled teasingly as he called out to his original system.

[Hmph. Can she give you the strength that I give you? She's nothing but a mere cheap copy of me that you created. And seriously, 'Lord Leo'? Is that why you created that Red Queen? Because you want to have someone like me who calls you as if you're someone's master?]

"Chill, Genesis. You're just overreacting. You're still the best system in the whole wide Multiverse. There, are you okay now?" Quickly putting a stop to Genesis, Leo never expected Genesis would react like this as if Genesis was indeed jealous of the Red Queen!

[Hmph!]

Suddenly, their conversation was interrupted by the appearance of the Red Queen on the screen again.

[-Lord Leo, I have successfully accessed the internet-]

"What do you think, Red Queen?"

[-My thoughts about it are that it is impossible for humans to create this kind of concept. It's akin to Humans creating an entirely different Universe in a different dimension.-]

"Well, it is what it is, Red Queen. The creation of the Internet is the peak of what Humanity could achieve."

[-….Lord Leo, during my skimming on the internet, I have come across something on the news that might interest you.-]

"Oh really? Show me." Liking the Red Queen's consideration, Leo smiled and crossed his arms as he gave the order.

Upon his command, the screen of the Super Quantum Computer changed from Red Queen's digital body to a news channel in a random street in Metroville city.

The main headline of the news however was what caught Leo's attention.

{ElastiGirl faces off Mustached Muscular Man! Where is Super Macho Man who's supposed to stop the big bad supervillain? Will ElastiGirl prevail and buy enough time for this city?}

"…Red Queen, mind telling me why you told me I'd be interested in this news? Is it because of ElastiGirl?" Leo suddenly got suspicious of the A.I as he never told Red Queen about his relationship with Helen or in this case ElastiGirl.

[-Answer, the supervillain that the Superhero ElastiGirl is facing off against is currently held within a special folder in the archives of the Super USB that is currently inserted into my server.-]

Thankfully though, the Red Queen's answer didn't trigger Leo to fully shut her down and renew her entire being all over again.

Looking at the servers, Red Queen was right, the Super USB was indeed inserted into the empty USB slot.

"Watch the news and predict the outcome of this fight, Red Queen. Who do you think will win?" Leo asked.

[-From my own perspective and prediction, ElastiGirl would only last 5 more minutes against Mustached Muscular Man before getting herself squashed to death. From the special folders containing Mustached Muscular Man's information, he's currently not using 50% of his entire strength. Instead, he seemed to be toying with ElastiGirl as if she wasn't a serious Superhero.-]

Hearing the prediction of the Red Queen, Leo nodded his head in satisfaction. Why? Because his prediction of the fight is also the same!

"Well then. It's time for me to become a Knight saving the damsel in distress." Leo grinned and activated his Panther Habit.

"Red Queen set a reminder or schedule for me that I'll alter the appearance of my Panther Habit suit."

[-Schedule has been set-]

"I'll go now then. Just keep skimming the internet and collect interesting information through it. In the meantime, try and manage the folder archives contained in the Super USB and create a different folder. Search and collect anything that is related to the recent bombing incident in the McDonalds this week."

After giving a set of orders, Leo went outside the laboratory.

"Hopefully this works," Leo muttered to himself as he took out the destroyed Black Mustang.

"Oh poor you." Leo muttered to himself as his fingers traced around the darkened hood of the vehicle.

"Red Queen you there?" He asked and soon, he heard Red Queen's voice inside the mask.

[-I am already in and merged with the existing Artificial Intelligence residing in the suit, Lord Leo. Is there anything you want me to do?-]

"Say, you can manipulate the nanomachines on the suit, right?"

[-Indeed, Lord Leo.-]

"Good, then I want you to use the suit's nanomachines to absorb this block of Vibranium." Taking out half of the Vibranium grams that are stocked in his inventory, Leo watches in amusement as the nanites of his Panther Habit come to life and start enveloping themselves on the block of Vibranium.

[-Absoption complete. The Panther Habit currently has 70% more Vibranium in stock.-]

"That should be large enough. Red Queen, use that recently absorbed Vibranium and fix this car back to its top condition. I want you to turn this thing into a car fully enveloped in Vibranium." With that final command, the finger tracing the hood of the broken car sprung to life and released black nanites that crawled all over the car, covering it entirely.

It took exactly a single minute before the nanites finally settled in and revealed the brand-new car in front of him.

[-It is finished, Lord Leo. This car is now entirely part of the suit. With a single command, you can now manipulate the car to your liking.-]

"Good." Grinning under his mask, Leo entered the car and gripped the steering wheel tightly as he took his time to get a feel of the car.

Vroom! 

Revving up the engine, the sound of it felt different than the previous time. The current engine sounds more angry yet silent.

Vroom!

With a final rev, Leo stomped on the accelerator and the car's wheels spun multiple times before bursting forward in quick speeds. The acceleration of the car was now two times more powerful and faster than rhe previous one!

Vroom!
