"Okay, let's see if the goddess of luck is on my side."

Gotham's Old Town, in the basement of a normal house.

Red still accepted Bruce's proposal to live in his hometown where he had spent fifteen years, and basically did not go out, and stayed at home very obediently.

However, this is only the appearance.

Red has been researching the new abilities he has gained from the battle at Black Gate Prison for the past few days.

"Lantern ring, how much energy do I have now."

【Current energy storage 200%】

During the night of the battle at Black Gate Prison, one of the unexpected discoveries was that the upper limit of energy turned out to be not 100%. After killing Bane and absorbing his blood, Red found that his energy storage limit was suddenly increased to 200%.

It seems that this is also a way to improve his strength, after all, red light energy is equal to both Red's combat fuel and his life force, if you continue to raise the ceiling like this, you may be able to ignore the problems caused by energy consumption.

Judging by the situation at the time, it is likely that this will require the absorption of the blood of the killed enemy to be effective. Unfortunately, now that Batman forbids him to continue killing people, Red can't test whether his guess is correct for the time being.

But Red doesn't bother either, because he has another way to improve his strength.

"Meow~"

Lingxing curiously pulled at the katana placed in front of Red, the weapon that originally belonged to the death knell was now completely stained with blood, and even if it was placed in a dark place, an extremely faint light could be seen on the blade.

"How did I do it, you ask? Well..... To be honest, I don't really understand, but what I know for sure is that as long as I inject energy into this weapon, then when I hold it, it will increase my strength...... It's like typing the scarlet letter in the world of Arad. ”

That's right, this is Red's biggest gain in the Battle of Black Gate Prison, and it is also a new way to improve his strength - Amplification!

According to the results of Red's experiments in the past few days, there are currently known rules for the increase.

First, when Red holds a boosted weapon, he can increase his own strength.

The increase in strength will be affected by the amplification phase and increase exponentially, when the amplification phase - that is, the red one, can already allow Red's strength to break through the peak of the human race, and now the increase to red seven can give Red the power to lift a fuel tanker truck and throw it out.

You know, this kind of power bonus is directly strengthened to Red himself, which means that he doesn't need to spend red light energy to improve his physique, and Red has already reached the level of many power-type superhumans!

Second, the buff effect of the amplification seems to only work on Red himself.

At least Red tried to pick up the amplified katana to Lingxing, and it didn't seem to turn the cat into a Hercules. Red didn't plan to try it for anyone else, after all, the amplification weapon was literally a drain on Red's effort, and he didn't have the idea of giving this killer weapon away.

Third, not all items can be boosted by kicker, and the effect of kicker varies greatly from item to item.

Red's ideal was very plump at the beginning, if the items that were amplified could strengthen his own strength, then he would be invincible in the world with a lot of jewelry and other things on his body?

However, the reality is very skinny, and Red finds that he can't use kicker at all for most items - to be precise, the only way to use kicker is currently limited to weapons like swords.

Moreover, Red bought hundreds of kitchen knives online, and found that the increase of these kitchen knives can be increased, but even if the increase is to Red Seven, the power of Red Aid seems to be similar to drinking a can of Red Bull.

The conclusion is that the effect of the kicker will also change depending on the quality of the item itself, and it seems that the only thing Red can find with the best quality is the weapon in front of him.

Knell's promethium metal katana.

Red took a deep breath, then carefully took the Red 7 Katana in his hand, feeling the power boost that filled his body.

Then, he drove the power of his whole body's blood and qi into the katana in his hand.

The weapon in his hand was like a black hole devouring a large amount of Red's red light energy, and the energy dropped by a magnitude comparable to that of the Bloodthirsty Charge in the Battle of Siannis Mansion in order to defeat Batman.

As mentioned before, the amount of energy expended in each phase of the increase increases exponentially, 1%, 2%, 4%, 8%, 16%...... And the increase from Red Seven to Red Eight consumed 128% of Red's energy!

However, even so......

Syllable!

With a crisp cracking sound, the blood-colored film on the outer layer of the katana in front of him suddenly shattered, and the katana returned to its original red zero state with only a few red lines.

Hell, failed again.

Red sighed lightly, the biggest problem with the increase at the moment was that the process wasn't necessarily successful. As you increase in the Kicker phase, the chances of success of the kicker decrease. If it's just below the red seven, it will only drop one stage after defeating, and if the red seven increase fails.......

During this time, it was not the first time that Red's increase had been reduced to zero, and it even made him wonder if Red Seven was the end.

To make matters worse, due to the huge amount of energy consumed by the Red Seven Amplification, each failure meant that he had to wait a whole day to recover before he could make the next attempt, and Red had no choice but to put down the weapon in his hand first.

"Meow~"

"Tsk, don't laugh at me, Lingxing, failure is the mother of success...... Anyway, as long as I'm in Gotham City, I don't need a fight, and the red light energy consumption will be consumed...... I just don't know when the next big event will come. ”

Red stretched and stood up, then paced to the wall, where a small blackboard hung on the wall in front of him, with some Chinese characters densely written on it.

"Infinity Crisis", "Emerald Knight", "Zero Hour", "Crisis on Infinite Earths", "Senisto War", "Amazon Raid", "Final Crisis", "Cloak War", ......

This is the DC Comics content that Red recorded and remembered, and of course it was just a key word of the event. He wouldn't be stupid enough to transcribe all the details of the plot, and if it leaked out, it might cause unnecessary trouble.

As a time-traveler, Red is well aware that he also has an important weapon - insight into plot development.

Of course, this refers to the development of the plot without its own interference.

"Judging by the fact that Batman has the Senisto ring in his hand, it must have been after the Senisto War...... And when I asked Batman to introduce me to Wonder Woman, he didn't react in particular...... It shows that Diana and Superman are not a couple, that is, they are not in the New 52 period...... There are no blacks in the Justice League Big Seven, that is, not in the period of rebirth......"

Lingxing whined in confusion, and he didn't blame it, for most people in this world would not understand Red's self-talk.

"Plus Batman is Bruce Wayne instead of Dick Grayson...... In this case, the next big event that could come may be ......"

"The ultimate crisis!"

Red's face became solemn, and the final crisis was a major event involving the fall of the new gods, the fallen watchers, and the collapse of the multiverse. Not to mention whether he can survive this kind of cosmic-level event, the most important thing is that the final crisis has a personal impact on him......

Batman, or Bruce Wayne, would "die" in this event, and the shelter he had promised would be meaningless.

Red looked at the katana that had been reduced to zero, sighed deeply, and injected energy to increase it to a stage again.

If you want to survive in the DC world, your own strength is always the most important guarantee.

Maybe we should find a way to speed up the acquisition of anger.
