Secrets unveiling

Back at the lab, Zane stood before the rack of experimental substances, his eyes fixed on the container of *Slimoh* mixed with beta energy. The liquid had settled into a calm, bright green, its surface smooth and still.

Zane picked up the container, holding it up to the light once more. "This is it," he murmured, a gleam of triumph in his eyes. "This is what I've been looking for."

He knew the operatives were probably uneasy about his orders, but he didn't care. They were just tools, just like Abomination. He had gotten what he needed, and now he was ready to take the next step.

"Soon," he whispered, a smile spreading across his face. "Soon, everything will fall into place."

With that, Zane turned and left the lab, the door closing behind him with a soft click. In his hand, he held the key to his future—the power to change everything.

And he wasn't going to let anything stand in his way.
