Chapter 164. Self-Evolution
----
Nolan worked like a man possessed.
His eyes scanned the glowing strands of genetic code dancing across the holo screen, devouring data at inhuman speed. This was no longer just science. This was transcendence.
The blueprint in front of him, an intricate weave of symbiote DNA, mutant mimicry, and experimental evolution, was something he'd come to call the Evolution Module.
It was the beginning of something greater.
Until now, Nolan had to manually restrict how his body expressed superhuman powers limiting regeneration to certain organs, suppressing overloads, and carefully balancing chaos and biology.
However, once he fully integrated this module?
There'd be no need for containment.
His focus could shift from survival to ascension. From playing scientist to becoming a unified force of mysticism and mutation, flesh and force.
"Symbiote genome replication... it's complete," he muttered. "Their DNA library mirrors the complete human genome... but the X-gene is still missing."
He frowned.
