Chapter 47 - Towards new knowledge

As the months passed and the time of his tenth birthday drew closer he decided that the time had come to gain whatever was left for him to find in this world. Actually the only thing that was of any real value to him was knowledge as with enough time and effort he could create anything he could ever need as long as he knew it's composition. Of course it was easier to simply copy objects rather than creating completely new things as he would need to consider it's structure and much more. Organic materials or ores and similar things were the worst as they were made out of many different materials, many different forms and in many different amounts. Because of that he made sure to keep many differed samples of everything he encountered.

The only reason why could regenerate his body before his passive Energy&Matter creation had passed the necessary threshold to always regenerate his body was that he had scanned his body before each fight and memorized the type of cells present in each part of his body only to copy the necessary cell type and closing up the wounds with it. When he made mistakes his Adapt&Improve altered the cells until everything became like it had been previously. This way his body also avoided the risk of cancer as all cells were kept in the same condition and mutations happened rarely as only beneficial mutations were permitted to remain. Because of his passive Energy&Matter Creation his body didn't even need mitosis and all necessary amino acids and other molecules were being created without him needing to eat. His digestive system however was still functional and all helpful bacteria in his body were being aided in every way possible.

However creating things like cakes or even bread took a lot of effort and time to create and when he and tried to create it the taste was sometimes off as he hadn't mixed all components perfectly. This was why he still preferred to use natural things only only resort to something like that when he had no other choice. The more time had passed the more he came to appreciate his passive creation skill as he could never sustain his body otherwise. By now if he would want to be able to use as much strength as he currently wielding he would spend most of his day eating and sleeping to compensate for the massive use energy. He wondered why Allmight never faced such a problem. Did he gain energy via photosynthesis? How else could he sustain himself...And what about the other heroes?

Anyways to gain knowledge he decided to ask Allmight about a few things

– A few days prior –

When Allmight, Hermann, Tiamat and Gaia sat and ate breakfast while Orion laid on the ground, chewing on some bones and meat as he gotten to large to sit on any piece of furniture in their house besides anything the size of a couch or bed Hermann decided to ask questions that had plagued his mind for a whole while.

H: "Hey dad do you know if there are samples of all animals and plants on this planet in one location? Something like a seed bank or anything like that?"

Allmight: "Sure. There is a vault that is being filled by both research organizations and the government. Because of the strong emergence of quirks the problem of poachers that hunted down rare animals for some quick money increased and so many research institutes and governments around the world kept samples and live specimens for increased breeding or cloning of rare and common organisms. Why are you asking?"

Full of excitement Hermann replied:

H: "Can we go there? I helped in quite a few fights with villains and I haven't asked for much until now. Could you? Please?"

With a slight smile on his face Allmight said that he needed to make a few phone calls before he would be able to answer my questions

– In the present –

And that is why he was inside a flying plane right now. They were on the way to one of the largest storage facilities in the world which was located in the largely empty countryside of China. On the long flight he had done many things. He had scanned the entire small private jet they were currently flying in, read all books he had found and taken with him but with his growing Int stat he was finished quickly and so he had finally arrived at his present occupation the last resort of all options : talking to himself.

As he looked out of the window he saw the blue sea and not far away on the near shore the large mega cities that were common around the coast of China. Sighing he leaned deeper into his comfortable seat and closed his eyes. Normally he filled his day with a lot of training, studying or simply relaxing in the wild far away from the city where he could enjoy his peace and quiet together with his three companions. At the moment they were all safely kept within his soul and inventory and where busy annoying each other. Especially that damned squirrel that just had to keep teasing and annoying the forever sleepy snake while Orion tried to run damage control. Just why did I have to take them all with me? If this goes on for much longer I may get gray hair before reaching the age of twenty. Finally having enough he decided to meditate slowly letting everything fade into the background while he pulled memories of his time in the forest out of his memory vault. The best thing about his special memory was that every time he reviewed them he would not only be able to see but also be able to smell, taste and feel. Lost in his memories he only noticed that they had landed several hours later when Allmight woke him up by shaking his shoulder.
