Chapter 2 Omnitrix
Let's rewind time a bit, back to the beginning.
"Detecting Intelligent Life Form, Omnitrix is activating."
Yang Le stared blankly at the Large Pit in front of him. Just moments ago, a Meteor had fallen from the sky and crashed here. The immense Impact Force had even overturned his Campsite not far away.
Yang Le struggled to crawl out of the collapsed Tent and saw the Woods not far away, with Scattered Flames flickering.
To prevent a Forest Fire, Yang Le rummaged through the mess and found a Fire Extinguisher, then ran towards the Flames.
Fortunately, the Flames had just started, and Yang Le managed to stop the Fire Intensity before it spread. Extinguishing the fire along the way, Yang Le naturally arrived at the Origin of Fire.
Then, the Scene before Yang Le was this: a Sphere about the size of a Basketball, looking Highly Technological. Suddenly, a Light Screen swept across him, and then he heard the voice from the beginning.
"What exactly is this?" Yang Le watched in astonishment as the Sphere transformed, revealing something that looked like a Camera. The Camera flashed, and then Projected a figure.
The Projected figure was very small, with a triangular head, a pair of huge eyeballs taking up two corners, and large hands and feet. It looked like a frog.
"Galvan?" Yang Le looked at the Alien in front of him and exclaimed its Name. The Alien in front of him was almost identical to Grey Matter from the Cartoon "ben10" that Yang Le had watched as a child.
However, Grey Matter was the Name given to him by the protagonist. His Proper Name should be Galvan.
Yang Le felt his Worldview being impacted. He didn't find it strange that Aliens existed in the world, but it was shocking that this Alien looked like a Character from a Cartoon.
However, before Yang Le could rebuild his Worldview, the Galvan being Projected opposite him spoke.
"Hello, my Name is Azmuth. I am a Galvan, and also the smartest person."
"Azmuth!? Uh, you... hello." Yang Le's brain short-circuited because it had received too much shocking Information in a short time, and he subconsciously replied.
"By the time someone sees this Message, I will Likely to Perish."
"Likely to Perish? Why?" Yang Le Inquired to Azmuth.
However, Azmuth did not Reply to Yang Le, as if he couldn't hear him. He continued to speak to himself.
"So, just in case, I Recorded this Video Recording in advance."
Hearing this, Yang Le understood that no matter how he Inquired, there would be no result. So, he calmed down and continued to listen to Azmuth's Narration.
"In my Universe, a group of Madmen appeared. They found the Legendary Annihilator, a Terrifying Weapon that can destroy a Universe. We are trying to stop them. Just in case, I sent a backup Omnitrix to other Universes to preserve the Species of our Universe."
When talking about the Omnitrix, Azmuth's tone became proud, obviously very satisfied with his invention.
"The Omnitrix is a Precious Device that can record Genetic Information of living beings. It can scan and record the Genetic Information of living beings, and even allow the Wearer to transform into the Ability of the recorded Species. It is a Device that can promote peace between Civilizations and Races in the Universe."
Speaking of this, Azmuth changed the subject.
"Of course, at the same time, in the hands of people with ulterior motives, it can also become the most Terrifying Weapon. Originally, I would never have sent it to anyone so casually, but the situation is Emergency, I can only do this. Of course, I have set Restrictions on the Omnitrix..."
Azmuth raised his Finger and continued to say.
"The Omnitrix contains the Genetic Information of thousands of Species, but Initially, I only Unlocked 5 types."
"Five types? Ben initially had 10 types, and Ben 23 initially had 23 Aliens." It's true that comparing people is infuriating. Yang Le felt that he might be the Omnitrix Owner with the fewest Initial Aliens. But it doesn't matter, cracking the Omnitrix is an Inevitable Path for every Wearer.
And Azmuth in the Video Recording, of course, could not feel Yang Le's Resentment and continued to say.
"Next is the main point, listen carefully. To Unlock more Genetic Information, you need to Collect Joy Energy."
"Joy Energy?" Yang Le frowned after hearing this. This was different from the Omnitrix he knew. In the Cartoon he watched, the Omnitrix never had the function of absorbing Joy Energy.
"Joy Energy is a new function I added to the Omnitrix after being inspired by a Clown from a Circus on Earth. Joy Energy is the energy released when a living being genuinely feels Joy. However, I have further expanded it. As long as it is Positive Energy, it can be collected by the Omnitrix. In short, you have to do good deeds, in other words, be a Hero." (This setting is not important, just to complete Azmuth's logic, it will be gone in a few chapters.)
"What a strong American Anime Style." Yang Le complained speechlessly.
"At the same time, the transformation time into other Species is only 10 minutes, but the same Joy Energy can also extend your transformation time."
After a slight pause, Azmuth's expression became serious, and he said sternly.
"Conversely, if you do bad things, the Omnitrix will also receive Negative Energy generated by you. Negative Energy will not only shorten your transformation time, but if there is too much, the Omnitrix will also enter Dormant State until it absorbs a large amount of Positive Energy to wake up."
"I have said what I needed to say. As for the specific Operation Method, the AI will teach you after you put on the Omnitrix. If you agree, then put it on."
As soon as Azmuth finished speaking, the Projection disappeared after a distortion. With Azmuth's disappearance, the Sphere began to transform again. The Sphere opened, revealing a Device that looked like a Watch, slowly floating above the Sphere.
Yang Le slowly slid down into the Pit and came to the Omnitrix. After hesitating for a moment, he still reached out his hand towards it.
Actually, there was nothing to hesitate about. Presumably, no one could refuse the Omnitrix. As for being a Hero, perhaps he could actually do it.
As soon as Yang Le stretched his left hand towards the Omnitrix, the Omnitrix automatically attached to his hand and then began to twist and deform like Playdough.
Under Yang Le's gaze, the Omnitrix completed its transformation. Its appearance was not like the Initial version from the Cartoon, but more like the second version, simple, lightweight, and composed of black and white colors.
"Omnitrix binding complete. Please Host, register Name."
An emotionless Electronic Voice sounded, and the Watch Face also flashed in sync with the voice. This should be the AI that Azmuth mentioned.
"Yang Le," Yang Le said his Name.
"Received. Host Information updated. Yang Le, Human."
The Watch Face of the Omnitrix stopped flashing, symbolizing the completion of the update.
"Please Host, complete your First Transformation under Guidance. Please lightly touch the Watch Face."
Yang Le stretched out his right Index Finger and touched the Watch Face. As soon as he touched the Watch Face, a Projection Menu composed of black and white appeared around the Watch Face. The Menu had five slots, and each slot had a minimalist Humanoid Portrait. Of course, because they were Aliens, those portraits had different forms.
Yang Le looked carefully. If the Cartoon was correct, he recognized all these Aliens.
"Please slide your Finger towards the Alien you want to transform into."
Yang Le carefully selected for a moment, and finally chose his favorite Alien Hero from childhood.
After Yang Le made his selection, the Menu disappeared, the Watch transformed again, and a Button with the Omnitrix Symbol extended from the Watch Face.
"Please press the Symbol. Note, do not slap it hard."
"Huff~" Yang Le let out a breath, and then pressed the Button.
"Bang!" With a sound, Yang Le was enveloped in a White Light. Yang Le could feel something entering his Body from the Omnitrix and rapidly changing him.
This feeling was very strange, as if he had become a piece of Playdough, his Body being filled, stretched, and deformed, but he couldn't feel a trace of pain or strangeness.
Soon the White Light dissipated, and Yang Le's figure disappeared, replaced by a scarlet Body.
Tall, muscular, four strong arms, Skin as scarlet as blood, yes, he was...
"Fourarms!" Yang Le raised his Fourarms and shouted.
The shouting startled many Birds. After venting, Yang Le began to adapt to his new Body.
He clenched his fist, Yang Le felt that he had inexhaustible Strength. To test his Strength, Yang Le stomped his foot hard.
But Yang Le ignored his current size. Unlike his slender self, Fourarms's huge Body almost filled the Pit. This stomp directly landed on the Sphere that had previously contained the Omnitrix.
"!" With a muffled sound, Yang Le realized that he was not stepping on ordinary Soil.
However, before Yang Le could move his foot, a rapid Alarm sounded.
"Alarm, Omnitrix Storage Device is under attack. Initiating Emergency Space-Time Jump."
Yang Le quietly watched the red light flashing at his feet, gritted his teeth and said, "Oh, great."
"Biu!" A White Light flashed, and Yang Le and the Sphere disappeared without a trace, leaving only a scorched Large Pit, proving that something had happened here.
After the White Light, Yang Le was pained by a sudden pulling sensation and lost consciousness.
"Detecting Host Life-Threatening Crisis, Emergency Transformation initiated..."
This was the last sentence Yang Le heard before losing consciousness.
