Chapter Twenty-two(22)

"Nah, Matthew's powers are better" James thought, Jasper's abilities came with the madness label but Matthew's were something else, he was already warping reality on a plantary level as soon as he awakened his powers and even after spending a few hours with the abilities he showed no signs of mental degradation only confusion because who wouldn't be when they suddenly find themselves able to annihilate entire armies with a passing thought.

"Paris, if I finally gain the powers I want, do you think I will run mad too" James asked, slightly concerned after all. James's don't exactly have a good record.

[For the final time, Your body is extremely adaptable, you will only run mad if you aren't mentally stable and you have proven to be as stable as nth Metal] Paris replied in a slightly exhausted tone, it was clear that James had asked this sort of question many times.

"I know but All the James's who were reality warpers, don't exactly give me the hope"

[There is a clear difference between you and them, You know what power you have and also you have your family and me to set you straight if you go rogue though I don't see how that is possible, You have held power equal to that on many occasions while in here] Paris said to comfort him

"True, guess it's my duty to show them how it's done" James replied with a smile then turned back to the symbiote.

"This seems perfect for the moment, Paris test for aging" James said as he focused back on the task at hand.

[Affirmative] Paris replied and the clone walked back into the testing area.

As soon as it entered and the door was closed behind it, James saw a large slightly visible cube appear around it and in the next moment, James saw the clone aging at a visible rate and within minutes, The clone turned to dust. Seeing this, James just shrugged knowing that this symbiote was still basically a baby since it had no extra abilities thus expecting it to be immortal like it's inorganic counterpart was absurd. The amazing part about this is the fact that the clone looked to normal during all this time and aged appropriately from young to middle aged to old to very old then dust meaning that the symbiote grants the host a form of immortality as well after all the cube was Paris using her powers to speed up time within a given area, James didn't know how much time was passing within the cube but he knew that it was at the very least 1000 years per second

[Basic lifespan of a Million years] Paris commented but James continued looking on as the dust reformed back into the clone as though someone had turned back time until it was back to normal again.

The clone suddenly started to age again but this time it lasted for several minutes close to an hour and the clone was still alive and looked to be in his 40s or something. James was completely shocked by this, even Venom couldn't maintain Eddie for this long. In Venom the End, when Venom finally let go of Eddie Brook, he looked to have died a long time ago being nothing more than just a husk but this symbiote was maintaining its host's young looks and bodily function. After a while more, Paris finally let down the cube

[Average lifespan of nearly a hundred Million years] Paris said but James was extremely surprised hearing this. What was the difference between that and immortality. He no longer even needs to worry about the longevity of his family members with the symbiote around.

"Paris what is the difference between the two"

[The host is able to live for a little more than a million years just by the symbiote existing in their body, the symbiote grants a sort of enhanced longevity to it's host but when the symbiote or the host is actively renewing their health then they can live for more than a hundred million years though this doesn't take into account when the host is injured or infected with a disease the symbiote can't cure etc] Paris explained

"So basically using the symbiote, I can create immortal soldiers who wouldn't die unless affected by a powerful outside force" James asked after all that is the basic explanation of the new Symbiotes. They could heal their hosts easily to the extent that even if the host loses its whole body, they would preserve the brain and the symbiote would replace all other body parts and with a life span like this then you have immortal soldiers and this was when the symbiote hasn't absorbed any powers.

[In a way yes, Matthew's DNA results are out, do you want to see them] Paris informed

"Already?" James asked

[I can run Octillions of tasks simultaneously and with maximum efficiency, doing this and testing Matthew's DNA isn't that difficult]

"I know, I know, I just didn't expect it, show me, oh and program the Dreamstone crystals, only distribute them when they are asleep" James said as he went back to his seat and some documents appeared before him.

[Sure]
