Kingpin was undeniably powerful.
It was said that over 90% of his body mass was pure muscle. His strength was monstrous, able to punch through solid walls with ease, and he was a world-class martial artist to boot.
Some even claimed he had reached the peak of human combat capability.
As Carl remembered, in his previous life, plenty of netizens had argued online that Kingpin could easily beat up Captain America.
As for whether that was true, Carl wasn't so sure.
But no matter how strong Kingpin was, he was still just human.
And now? If he dared to fight Carl, one punch would be enough to end it.
At that moment, Carl felt a transformation happening within him.
His body, already well-built from years of training, grew even more refined.
His appearance became sharper, more strikingly handsome.
His body brimmed with power.
Super speed, his flight now exceeded the speed of light. He could pierce through time itself and travel into the past.
Super hearing, he could hear anything, anywhere.
Invulnerable skin, physical attacks became meaningless. Not even the crushing force of a black hole could harm him.
He could even survive the chaos of the Big Bang.
Heat vision. Super regeneration. Super strength. Ice breath...
And because he'd received a full template, he mastered every power effortlessly.
Pushing open his window, Carl leapt out.
Then, in complete defiance of physics, he hovered mid-air.
With a whoosh, he became a blur and vanished.
A second later, Carl appeared in outer space.
Behind him floated a magnificent blue planet.
In front of him, a hundred million kilometers away, blazed a massive, roaring star.
The Sun.
Thanks to his enhanced vision, Carl instantly perceived every detail on the Sun's surface.
Under its radiant light, he could feel his power surging.
Technically speaking, the Silver Age Superman didn't draw power from yellow suns and wasn't weakened by red suns either…
But Carl could clearly sense himself absorbing solar radiation and growing even stronger.
Suddenly, a voice echoed in his mind:
"Dimensional Chat Group?"
Carl raised an eyebrow, intrigued.
As a transmigrator, he immediately recognized what this was.
He'd read similar ideas in webnovels from his past life.
In simple terms: it was a group chat that connected people from across different worlds.
They could communicate, share knowledge, or even travel between dimensions.
"A chat group, huh? Sounds interesting. Let's give it a try."
He nodded.
"Accept invitation."
As soon as he spoke, a virtual interface appeared in his mind.
[My Little Sister's a Chunibyo]: ^o^ A newcomer? Welcome, welcome~!
[Commander of the Great Wall Garrison]: Welcome! [sends .jpg]
[Blade King]: Finally! A new member. Warmest welcome!
Carl's eyes narrowed slightly as he scanned the chat list.
The names were all… very familiar.
Commander of the Great Wall Garrison?
That sounded like something from King of Glory.
And the commander, was it Mulan?
Carl faintly remembered from his gaming days that she was the leader of the Great Wall troops.
Blade King was likely Keisha, the Queen of Angels from Super God Universe.
And this Thousand-Hand Princess, almost certainly Tsunade from Naruto.
My Little Sister's a Chunibyo?
That instantly reminded Carl of the anime Love, Chunibyo & Other Delusions.
Although the term "Chunibyo" popped up in many different works too, there wasn't enough info to confirm her identity just yet.
[Thousand-Hand Princess]: What… what is this?
[Thousand-Hand Princess]: It just appeared in my mind. Is this some kind of illusion? Are you people from the Uchiha clan?
[My Little Sister's a Chunibyo]: No need to panic, Miss~ Let me explain!
[My Little Sister's a Chunibyo]: This is a dimensional chat group that links different worlds together.
[My Little Sister's a Chunibyo]: Just think what you want to say, and the system will automatically organize your thoughts into text.
[My Little Sister's a Chunibyo]: The goal of the group is to help one another.
[My Little Sister's a Chunibyo]: Oh! Explaining the rules gives rewards too?! I'm rich now!
[My Little Sister's a Chunibyo]: Haha! 200 points, baby! Feels amazing!
[My Little Sister's a Chunibyo]: Wonder how much gourmet food I can buy with this. This chat group is the best!
[Blade King]: jealous.jpg
[Commander of the Great Wall Garrison]: We get points for that? Man, I should've explained it first!
[Commander of the Great Wall Garrison]: Still, spending precious points on ingredients… don't you think that's a little wasteful?
[My Little Sister's a Chunibyo]: Already exchanged them for cash. One point's worth over 10,000 yen! High-end food's expensive, y'know?
[My Little Sister's a Chunibyo]: Besides, I don't need power-ups. Our world is just a regular one.
[Commander of the Great Wall Garrison]: Good point.
[Thousand-Hand Princess]: …
[Thousand-Hand Princess]: Um… what exactly are these points?
[My Little Sister's a Chunibyo]: They're rewards you can spend in the group's shop.
[My Little Sister's a Chunibyo]: Check the top right corner. You'll see a shop tab. There, you can heal wounds, strengthen your body, exchange for money, or even gain abilities!
[My Little Sister's a Chunibyo]: You also get points for daily check-ins, and apparently, for helping newbies like you.
[Thousand-Hand Princess]: ?
[Thousand-Hand Princess]: How do I check-in?
Despite her doubts, she still asked out of curiosity.
[Blade King]: Just tap the "Check-In" button next to the shop icon. Easy.
[Thousand-Hand Princess]: Thank you.
[My Little Sister's a Chunibyo]: Wow! You got 8 points? That's insane luck!
[Blade King]: That's the highest I've ever seen. I only got 7 once… jealous.jpg
[Commander of the Great Wall Garrison]: …
[Commander of the Great Wall Garrison]: My highest was 5…
[Blade King]: Still one more newbie. Stop lurking and say hi! @GodAmongMortals
[Commander of the Great Wall Garrison]: Maybe they're busy?
[Blade King]: Fair. Maybe.
[My Little Sister's a Chunibyo]: ??
[Commander of the Great Wall Garrison]: ??
[Commander of the Great Wall Garrison]: This many points from check-in? That's crazy.
[Blade King]: confused.jpg
[GodAmongMortals]: smiles.jpg
[My Little Sister's a Chunibyo]: What the heck? That's just unfair luck! Total gacha king!
At first, everyone was in awe of how lucky Thousand-Hand Princess was…
But now? Another newcomer had joined.
Carl didn't say anything, just silently observed from the sidelines.
At the same time, he opened the Shop Interface.
It looked remarkably similar to Taobao.
There were tons of sections, Lifestyle, Skills, Weapons, Items…
In the Lifestyle tab, he saw everything from daily necessities to healing, money exchange, and more.
One point could be exchanged for 100 US dollars.
Apparently, "10,000 per point" from earlier was based on Japanese yen.
Healing injuries started at 100 points, depending on severity.
Just a quick glance told him, this place sold everything.
Infinity Stones, Sharingan, Iron Man suits, Gundams, Rinnegan, Devil Fruits… even Ultraman's Spark Lens.
Of course, the more powerful the item, the higher the price.
A basic one-tomoe Sharingan cost only a few hundred points…
But a Mangekyō Sharingan? 100,000 points.
Still, none of it really mattered to Carl.
Because at his current level…
He didn't need any of it.
