Chapter 77. Experimenting on Danny
----
For the past several days, Nolan had locked himself in the lab, running continuous experiments. And during those days, Danny Rand and Black Sky had endured levels of pain neither had ever known.
Black Sky was manageable she was just a vessel. The Beast couldn't feel pain the same way. But Danny? He was human. Every shock, every incision he felt all of it. He had even tried to summon his Iron Fist multiple times...
But not even that could break the vibranium cuffs restraining him.
Meanwhile, Dr. Curt Connors was calibrating the lab's scanning equipment, using every known light frequency to analyze the samples taken from both subjects.
Then—it happened.
"Boss, I've got something!" Connors called out.
He had discovered that beta radiation, specifically high-frequency electron streams, could illuminate a previously undetectable substance inside both Danny and Black Sky's cellular structures. What was once unseen had become visible under the right conditions.
Nolan leaned in. "If it's observable, it's not from another dimension it's just been hidden by our limitations. Good. Begin the full analysis."
He was fascinated. If this energy could be extracted or, better yet, replicated, it could become another tool in his arsenal.
After all, The Beast could mutate ordinary humans through sheer presence. And Danny's Chi, the so-called "Shou-Lao energy," could amplify his body to supernatural levels of strength, speed, and durability.
