After the birthday/welcoming/congratulatory celebration, everyone went to their own homes with a full belly and future matters to think about through the night. Meanwhile after being questioned(interrogated) by his parents regarding what else he knows and that they left him after he says he can"t properly control this type of ability.Of course not before telling him to wake up early tomorrow as they will introduce his uncle who might be able to help him with his "Cause" as he blinked away towards the Bat-cave as soon as he was free.
"Augur, activate Naruto training!" 『John』Once he arrived in the training room on the Bat-cave sitting comfortably, he commanded Augur which immediately dispelled all clones once they are in a secure and hidden location spread around the world doing reconnaissance on specific targets, training other abilities, and lastly looting specific abilities and genetic materials for research.
As he braced himself within his mind palace on the storm of knowledge, pain, pleasure, and all sorts of feelings that his clones experienced throughout their lifespan that is slowly being converted to books as he finishes absorbing one clone"s experience.
"ARGHHHHHHHH!"
"f.u.c.k!!!"
"SHIIIIEEEIT"
"f.u.c.kKKKK!!!"
"MMMMMMOOOOOTHERf.u.c.kER!!!"
"Is this how the MC in those CN novels I had read goes through when they are training their souls?!! G.o.dDAMMIT! This is why I only do it once a year... I bet Naruto has it easy when he reabsorbs his trained clones as Kurama takes the emotional factors away."『John』as he grits his teeth while complaining after experiencing the pains of his clones that went through harsh battles and body training received from the Grand-masters.
--- A FEW HOURS LATER ---
GASPS GASPS GASPS wheezing as his real body grasps for the air of the torturous experience he just went through as he quickly re-enters his mind palace before pa.s.sing out.
"I can"t really get myself used to this s.h.i.t. Now let"s see how much I progressed before I process the Intel they gathered next. Status!" 『John』as he cracks his neck and hip joints (Imaginary as he is in an astral form within the mind palace). Noticing that his Astral body (Soul form) is becoming more solid and firm.

—–End—–
{Truck-kun"s gift: Any limbs or DNA sample removed from your body without your knowledge/permission like All-Might it will fade-away like ash from a Thanos snap. Abilities I granted you can"t be taken/copied away from you as they don"t belong to any universe, therefore successors of YOUR bloodline won"t be able to inherit it.
"Heh, I like the new interface Augur!" 『John』complimented upon noticing the differences with the status screen that popped in front of him.
"As I"m linked to your soul, I receive what you call "Patch" in gaming terms sire. So whenever your soul increases a stage, I also go through an upgrade."『Augur』responded in as a matter of fact tone to his host.
Reading everything carefully each new abilities he got reaching until the end where he glances the last message left from Truck-kun where he can"t help from doing a facepalm regarding his almost forgotten gift that requires him to make both [Emphatic Mimicry] and [Body State] reach the (Violet) tier.
"Hah, you think you got the last laugh motherf.u.c.ker?! Just sit and wait there wherever you are til I surprise you by whooping your a.s.s once I get powerful enough to reach you..."『John』shouted to the empty air of his mind palace gritting his teeth.
"Tsk should have been more pro-active about doing a background check from my family instead of waiting for them to open up to me regarding such matters. I"m getting lazy relying on my clones as of late, should"ve known better with all that I read novels about careless MCs regretting badly by being complacent."『John』thought to himself recalling the instances where the MC let their guard down just because they know about the future not paying attention to the b.u.t.terfly effects they themselves cause.
Such as one where he thought an important character of one of the shows he transmigrated on was gonna survive a deadly strike because he is protected by the one thing every otaku knows as, theee "PLOT ARMOR", where he never even expected that deadly strike to be a decapitation attack that even the great Wolverine can"t avoid getting killed from.
Another was because he was born as the unexpected sibling of the MC of his universe that he thought his parents and beloved was safe from harm but he got slapped hard in the face when he was proven wrong and that they aren"t the one"s covered in the plot armor, he was, as he became the new MC of said universe.
Recalling other scenarios like those, he himself doesn"t a.s.sume he is the current MC of this universe that Truck-kun sent him too. He doesn"t even trust his words taking it with a grain of salt that there are no ROB (Random Omniscient Being) paying attention to the universe he currently resides in. As you can interpret it "there wasn"t one when has was being placed on it" or that "there isn"t a ROB paying attention yet..." meaning you"ll never know when one ROB was really watching it.
That"s why he placed countermeasures such as static cling devices disguised as accessory gifts to his family and friends to keep their fallen hair, shed skins, and even sweats within the clothes that they take off before going to take a bath to remove such dirt.
He even took measures that all people he considers important to him are being followed by small cleaner bots programmed to incinerate any DNA samples that their target discharges, though some are fixed to the sewers of each member"s homes.
Now with the last "Surprise gift" of Truck-kun finally revealed, he just got relieved that he won"t be facing a clone/being made from his DNA to go against him... yet. Because you never know what happens and there might be exceptions so it"s better to prepare for the worst still.
But what he does trust was the one talking about his powers unable to be copied/taken by another being. Where he guessed that Truck-kun really did it for his benefit to cover his tracks as he doesn"t want any ROB to find out he was related to John in any way.
I digress, anyway focusing back to his newly copied/upgraded abilities within the status screen. Now that his soul ascended beyond mortal limits there were new features such as:
System: Augur (Gray)^
Soul State: Status = Undying(Indestructible)^
[Gray (Ascendant - Basic)]^
»Forces (White - Intermediate Force)«^
[Yin-Yang Force (Light/Life and Dark/Death)]
[Speed Force (Time and s.p.a.ce)] [Strength Force] [Chaos Force]
With an upgrade patch for the Augur that increased his functionality, who added the [Soul state] next to the [Body state] upon which he got from re-reading the cultivation techniques of CN novels his hosts read from his past life such as mainly ISSTH, and LOHP.
Whilst the forces John have, though only 2 were added which is already more than enough because my clones focused on upgrading the aspects the one John already have like for [Yin-Yang Force] that was the fusion of [Light] and [Dark] from the Cloak and Dagger couple, now has the addition of [Life] force manipulation from "Jiaying" the mother of Quake (Daisy Johnson).
Who mostly uses it to extend her lifespan, on the other hand, the [Death] force was taken from its branching application [Necromancy] powers of Dead Girl"s X-gene power. As for the [Time] and [s.p.a.ce], the two forces being fused to [Speed Force] was one of John"s clone"s handiwork of testing the "Barry Allen accident" through getting hit by lightning in a thunderstorm with the select chemicals injected within him.
Of course, said clone only had the [Time] and [s.p.a.ce] force equipped to forcefully make a connection with the [Speed Force] of this dimension having a [Body State] at the (Gray) tier to handle such power should be enough.
It was then augmented through the powers of "Speed, Speed Demon, Black Racer and Quicksilver" whom his keeping his tabs on before they get picked up suddenly by The Runner (Gilpetperdon) the G.o.d of Speed within this universe for the Galactic Marathon he will be hosting to know who is "The Fastest Man Alive".
Where he can maybe find a clue on how to access different universes such as DC through soul searching Fastforward in the race covered by Stanley as "Buried Alien" hah, who"re you kidding Stan Lee? [A/N: Check wiki]
The addition of [Strength Force] is from the clone who was still slugging it out with the Juggernaut, of course, that training doesn"t only benefit John"s clone as the Juggernaut is also a sentient being, meaning he can learn from its mistakes. Though John has no more further use of him with his current power level, it"s about time he cleans that mess up before creating further incarnations of Juggernauts.
[Chaos Force] copied from none other than the "Scarlet Witch" (Wanda Maximoff) the seeded avatar of Chthon the Elder G.o.d of Chaos, having the clone found her he can now take them under his wing by approach the Maximoff siblings helping avoid "Decimation" (M-day) event first and other r.e.t.a.r.ded s.h.i.ts they"ll be doing to cause chaos then helping to fix it after they regret what happened when it is already too late.
Don"t need any more dramatic s.h.i.ts as this universe is already as messed up as it is currently. Moving on the updated/new abilities gathered John asked Augur to show a descriptive detail on each new abilities he received and from whom the clones copied it from starting from (Skills) up to (Masteries).
[X-ray Vision] - Superman-like ability taken from the big-eyed minion of Magneto named Peter Quinn alias Peepers. (What a naming sense they had back in the day...)
[Omnilingual Translation] - Upgraded version of Linguistics masteries, copied from X-men named Douglas Ramsey alias Cypher a hyper-linguist, and has a superhuman facility for translating any languages, spoken or written, human or alien in origin. His superhuman skill also extends to his great facility in deciphering codes and computer languages as well as understanding hidden intentions and body language.
Cypher"s skills are such that he was once able to make great headway in translating the written language of an extraterrestrial race in a matter of minutes ability is further augmented by Apocalypse"s version that corresponds to all known Earth-based languages. A very important ability required for galactic and dimensional encounters which will be further augmented hopefully by Thor"s [All Speak].
[Instantaneous Adaptation] - another powerful ability of X-men Darwin also known as Armando Muñoz his reactive mutation adjusts his capabilities to his environment. Examples of such manifestations include receiving functioning gills after being submerged in water, gaining night vision after being in the dark for several seconds.
Being able to survive without oxygen when in s.p.a.ce, his skin becoming fireproof when it is exposed to flames, his body becoming pure energy, his intelligence increasing itself, or the understanding of the Shi"ar language by looking at it in written form. However, his powers do not always take the effect he desires.
For example, during his fight with the Hulk, his body teleports him away from the battle rather than supplying a power that would allow him to defeat the Hulk. Which adds on to the fact that there is no known mortal force yet that could face against the HULK.
[Ability Absorption] - courtesy of Anna Marie (Rogue) another X-men, an unexpected gift and separate ability John gained as at first, he just thought her power would augment and elevate his [Emphatic Mimicry] to another stage but to his surprise, it resulted in him now being able to remove the target"s powers completely, and as it is completely different from just "Copying", by doing so helps him increase his current ones.
Now thanks to this ability he can finally kill those at the level of Apocalypse beings by making them "Mortal" through the removal of their "Immortality". While not forgetting to help those Methumans who want their"s removed, such as Robin Hinton the child seer from Agents of SHIELD where she didn"t experience a normal childhood by not knowing which time period she is living in through her connection to her-selves in different timelines.
[Biokinesis (DNA Manipulation)] - again X-men power of Sage, Charles" spy within Sebastian Shaw"s ranks in the h.e.l.lfire Club as his a.s.sistant. That is also further augmented by another target to be removed from existence, Charles"s twin sister Ca.s.sandra Nova, who has [DNA Duplication].
[Power Bestowal] - Apocalypse ability that he gained from being enhanced of Celestial technology along with his [Immortality], [Enhanced Physique], and more. Now finding him wasn"t a problem with another ability I gained from one of his future Horseman of Pestilence.
[X-factor(Quirk) Detection] - from a current Morlock resident and future Apocalypse minion Caliban in his malnourished figure within the sewers. As En Sabah Nur was one of the first human beings that activated his X-genes before he got enhanced by Celestial techs. With this ability, I"ll be able to hunt number one on my targets for immediate removal of the most dangerous and evasive individuals within Marvel-verse, Mr. Sinister (Nathaniel Ess.e.x).
Caliban is able to psionically sense the presence of other mutants within a 25-mile radius of himself. He once proved to be able to catch mutants presence far more away than those 25 miles when he detected the powerful Moloid mutant Val-Or"s psychic scream, at the other side of the planet (This mutant was powerful but his powers could only have been sensed by more sensitive people)
With the combination of this ability in tandem with [Biokinesis] once John"s clones return to their targets and a.n.a.lyze the unique genetic markers of the Inhumans, Aliens, Asgardians, and other types of super-powered humanoid type beings within the planet Earth. He might just be able to develop the necessary tech like Cerebro of X-men that focuses on the X-gene activation whilst the unknown magical device from Harry Potter-verse that detects kids with magical affinity within the British Isles in order to send them Hogwarts Invitation Letter upon reaching the proper age.
[Elemental Control] - Crystalia Amaquelin (Crystal) an Inhuman royalty possesses the ability to mentally manipulate the four cla.s.sical elements: fire, water, earth, and air. She does so by means of a psionic interaction with the substances on an atomic level. Certainly, Crystal can manipulate anything that involves elements.
Currently undergoing the rebellious phase, and thanks to her sudden visit on Oagu island that his clone was camping managed to hitchhike on their way back to Attilan. Finally knowing the location of the Inhuman base up in the moon John can finally teleport in and out of the place and start his damage control before the "Inhumans Outbreak" from Agents of SHIELD. Ability also augmented from Storm"s weather control.
[Mana(Ki) Manipulation] - another aspect of [Life Force] that exists within the human body. It is further increased from training with the Grand-masters of Ryōzanpaku allotted with multiple clones for Mastery in handling the energy trying to recreate the DBZ techniques and application.
[Phasing] and [Inaudibility] - copied and augmented from two X-men members Katherine Pryde (Shadowcat), Alisa Tager (Cipher), and Dead Girl (Moonbeam). Both abilities further improved from the energy provided by the [Speed Force], which is great for spying and undercover activities of my clones.
[Lie-Detection] - copied from Verity Willis the daughter of Roger Willis, the member of a family who had the duty to protect the Casket of Ancient Winters. Roger"s father, Eric Willis had also entrusted him with Andvaranaut, a magical ring that allowed its user to see through any lie. One day when Verity was a baby, she found the ring and ate it that granted her mental immunity to telepathy and other mind tricks.
Verity absorbed its spell and is capable of detecting and seeing through all lies, no matter how big or little, or if they are of good or bad intention, and all illusions including those of magical nature cast by a G.o.d. This means Loki"s tricks and illusions will be null and void facing against such ability.
(EVIL SMIRK) With her, on John"s intelligence network he can"t imagine how formidable it will become. Where she can sift through rumors and find truths hidden within the fake intel other intelligence network releases. Her ability is an important one to find spies implanted within my own company from the compet.i.tors we are facing by asking the proper questions to root them out.
[Omni-Morph Duplication(Trans.m.u.tation)] - Carl Creel (Absorbing man) possesses the ability to bodily duplicate at will the physical properties of anything he touches or that touches him. This power extends to both animate and inanimate objects and certain forms of energy. The matter of the Absorbing Man"s body magically undergoes a material and physiological change so that his body actually becomes composed of the matter or energy with which he is making contact.
It works like Kevin 11 from the Cartoon Network show Ben 10 (which John plans on releasing to the media soon as it has aliens and powers like magic too.). But this one has more versatility to it as he can grant absorbed properties to his wrecking-ball weapon.
He targeted this ability for its purpose of making counterfeits of an ancient item or powerful relic he desires like the Monoliths made by Izel from Fear Dimension that is currently in card form stored in his inventory which his clone had "borrowed" from SHIELD"s Lighthouse along with Maveth"s Monolith and the 10 Mandarin Rings.
[Molecular Manipulation] - The power to manipulate matter on a molecular level, copied from Apocalypse that enables him total control over his molecular and sub-molecular structure, further bolstered by the Celestial technology augmenting him, he can also consciously or spontaneously grant himself with a wide array of new superpowers at will.
Therefore boosting his ability [Power Bestowal] like All-for-One (AFO) from My Hero Academia which John has almost become with that power and [Ability Aborption] just without the h.o.m.o-superior s.h.i.t like the belief of Magneto and AFO. He"d rather establish his own planet rather than conquering an existing one that will just result in bloodshed.
