Looking at the PURE LIFE FORCE icon glowing in his system inventory, Nova couldn't hold back another burst of laughter. The sheer absurdity of the situation — surviving Morlun, absorbing his life force, and now gaining access to this overwhelming power — was almost too much. It was like the universe itself had decided to throw him a bone.
Eventually, his laughter died down, and he took a deep breath, a satisfied grin still lingering on his face.
This life force was no ordinary power source. It was potent, pure energy — something that could solve one of his most significant problems. His alien transformations.
Currently, the time limit for his transformations was frustratingly short. Five minutes. That was all he got before the Omnitrix would force him back to his human form, leaving him vulnerable. On top of that, he'd have to wait a whole hour before he could transform again. It was a severe handicap in battle.
At first, Nova had assumed that this restriction was just another annoying system-imposed limitation — some arbitrary rule meant to keep him in check. But as time went on, he learned that wasn't the case. The real issue wasn't the Omnitrix. It was him.
His body and blood were fundamentally incompatible with the forced DNA alterations. Every transformation pushed his cells to the limit, forcing a complete genetic shift. And while the Omnitrix was advanced enough to manage the process, it couldn't change the fact that his X-Gene fought against the transformations.
The mutant gene within him, the source of his ability, wasn't a fan of foreign DNA invading its territory. It resisted. Clashed. Every time he transformed, it was like an internal war — one that left his body exhausted and unable to sustain the change for long.
"The X-Gene..." Nova muttered, rubbing his chin thoughtfully. "That stubborn little thing."
It was ironic. Most mutants struggled to awaken or control their abilities, yet here he was, hindered by the sheer strength of his own genetic code. His mutant powers, while granting him the Wish ability, had no intention of playing nice with the Omnitrix's alien DNA.
Every time he transformed, the gene perceived it as a threat. A foreign invasion. It fought back with everything it had, forcing the time limit as a self-preservation mechanism.
Even after finding the answer, Nova had struggled to find a viable solution. Grey Matter's hyper-intelligence had proposed several options, but none were particularly appealing. One of the most effective solutions was to permanently fuse with an alien DNA. Doing so would eliminate the genetic conflict, allowing for unrestricted transformations.
But the cost? His X-Gene would be erased.
Losing his mutant gene, which potentially is an Omega rank ability, is a very big NO!!
So, among the remaining choices, the most reasonable option was to strengthen his body.
It made sense. If the root of the problem was his body's inability to harmonize with alien DNA, then the solution was simple — make his body stronger. Not just physically, but genetically. A fortified X-Gene would no longer see the Omnitrix transformations as an existential threat. If he could push it beyond its current limitations, the time restrictions would gradually loosen.
"Pure Life Force…" Nova's gaze returned to the glowing icon in his system inventory. The surge of power he'd absorbed from Morlun was beyond anything he'd encountered. Life Force wasn't just energy — it was existence itself. Pure vitality. And with it, he could fuel his body's evolution.
Nova stared at the glowing icon, his resolve hardening. "This is it."
He selected the Pure Life Force and initiated the absorption. Instantly, a system notification flashed across his vision.
----
→ WARNING: Absorbing Pure Life Force will result in permanent changes to the host body. Proceed with caution.
----
Nova's heart pounded, but he didn't hesitate. "Proceed."
The moment he confirmed, a flood of radiant golden energy erupted from the system.
For a brief moment, nothing happened. The anticipation held him in a tense silence, waiting for the surge of power he thought would rush into him.
But instead, a violent pulse of green light erupted from the Omnitrix.
The device on his wrist came to life with an intensity Nova had never seen before. Its black and green exterior gleamed with energy, intricate alien circuitry illuminating as though it were awakening from dormancy. Jagged veins of emerald light surged from the watch, crawling up his arm and wrapping around his body like tendrils of living electricity.
"What the hell?" Nova stumbled back, his eyes wide as the Omnitrix forcefully absorbed the life force. The golden hue of the energy twisted and compressed, disappearing into the swirling green light of the device's core.
[ABSORPTION IN PROGRESS]
The voice of the Omnitrix echoed through his mind, calm and mechanical, but there was a depth to it that hadn't been there before. It was like the device itself was awakening, growing more... aware.
The energy storm around him intensified. The air crackled as the absorbed life force cascaded through the Omnitrix, sending pulses of raw, unfiltered vitality through every circuit. The sheer magnitude of the power was staggering — it wasn't just energy; it was the concentrated essence of existence itself.
Nova gritted his teeth, his body trembling under the immense pressure. The Omnitrix's core pulsed like a heartbeat, each thrum sending shockwaves through the air. The very room seemed to warp as the device pushed itself to its limits.
[ ANALYZING ABSORBED ENERGY]
[ENERGY SOURCE: PURE LIFE FORCE]
[ INITIATING SYSTEM INTEGRATION]
Nova gasped, his eyes flicking to the swirling green light. "Integration?"
The Omnitrix didn't respond. It was entirely consumed by the process, and Nova could feel it — a strange connection forming, like the device was latching onto his very being.
Then came the next notification.
[[HOST GENETIC INSTABILITY DETECTED. CAUSE: X-GENE CONFLICT.]

----
Suddenly, a violent wave of energy blasted through Nova's body.
The force slammed him to his knees, his hands clutching at the floor as the emerald light engulfed him completely. His muscles seized. His bones felt like they were being reforged from the inside out. Every cell in his body vibrated, caught between agonizing pain and exhilarating power.
His X-Gene roared in defiance, but this time it wasn't alone. The Omnitrix didn't stop. It pushed deeper, its energy coursing through him like a river breaking through a dam. Every clash between the alien DNA and his mutant gene that once caused chaos was now reversed — the device wasn't forcing him to change. It was adapting.
[PURE LIFE FORCE APPLIED. GENETIC HARMONY ACHIEVED.]
[X-GENE AND OMNITRIX DNA MATRIX SUCCESSFULLY SYNCHRONIZED.]

The resistance ceased. Nova felt it immediately. The ever-present tension within him — the constant battle waged between his mutant gene and the alien transformations — simply vanished. It was like a chain had been shattered. For the first time, the Omnitrix and his X-Gene stood in perfect balance.
Nova's eyes snapped open, glowing faintly with a green hue. His breathing was ragged, but the rush of power flooding his system was undeniable. His muscles burned, not with pain, but with newfound strength. Every fiber of his being felt reinforced, like the limitations he once had were obliterated.
He stumbled to his feet, flexing his fingers. His body responded effortlessly, the movement fluid and precise. He could feel it — the raw, unrelenting power beneath his skin. It was like he'd been reborn.
[OMNITRIX LIMITATIONS ADJUSTED.]
- TRANSFORMATION TIME: 5 MINUTES → 10 MINUTES
- COOLDOWN TIME: 1 HOUR → 10 MINUTES
- DNA COMPATIBILITY: PERFECTED
[ENHANCEMENT COMPLETE. OMNITRIX SYSTEM OPERATING AT OPTIMAL EFFICIENCY.]
[HOST ADAPTATION SUCCESSFUL. CONTINUED USE OF TRANSFORMATIONS NO LONGER POSES RISK.]
[CONGRATULATIONS. ENJOY YOUR UPGRADED EXPERIENCE.]
Nova exhaled sharply, still processing the notifications. Ten minutes. His transformation time had doubled, and the dreaded hour-long cooldown had been slashed to a mere ten minutes. No longer would he be forced to retreat in a fight, counting down the seconds until his vulnerability kicked in.
But even that paled in comparison to what had happened to his own body.
He clenched his fist, marveling at the sheer force behind the motion. His muscles were denser, more defined. He felt... solid, as though he were carved from iron. There was no sluggishness, no strain — just overwhelming strength at his fingertips.
"This... This is insane," Nova whispered, his voice trembling with awe.
The system wasn't lying. His strength had skyrocketed, reaching the pinnacle of human potential. He wasn't just some athletic teenager anymore — he stood at the level of Captain America. Every movement, every breath radiated raw power and unparalleled endurance.
But it wasn't just his muscles. His reflexes were sharper, his senses heightened. The world around him felt more vivid, every sound clearer, every motion detectable. He could feel the rhythm of his own heartbeat, steady and strong, like a drum pounding within his chest.
And his X-Gene — it had changed.
No longer restrained by the constant conflict, it thrived. The dormant power within it stirred, strengthened by the life force and the Omnitrix's integration. Altough he don't know the exact change but he will find it out soon.
Nova immediately opened his status.
