The Tale Of Loki by DickMcJones

Chapter 30

A month has already passed, and I can gladly say my New York empire is well on its way. For a reluctant minion, Yelena is doing a splendid job. I only charmed her not to betray me so it is surprising that she is doing this well.

She has increased my garrison to a decent amount. Of course, they are only loyal to my money, but fortunately, I am rich and I don't even have to worry about them betraying me because they are weak.

My current right hand though is impressive. Yelena Belova, sister of Black Widow. I don't know much about her since I never really bothered to read the comics, but I remember one of my more geekier acquaintances going on about how amazing his waifu Yelena is, and how she is better than Natasha.

I still cringe when I remember him simping about her, but at least he put a decent minion on my radar. Although Yelena's skills are quite impressive, she is still extremely vulnerable to anyone with superpowers or people with equal amounts of skill as her. Fortunately, I am a magnanimous boss and an excellent geneticist.

I guess it's time to give Yelena a reward in the form of a powerup. I wish I could just use sex to reward my female workers, but unfortunately, I wasn't reincarnated in a hentai world and have to give real rewards. It certainly helps that my method of giving her powers will subtly make her loyal.

"Oracle, if Yelena isn't doing anything important, tell her I have something to show her" I inform my faithful AI.

"Affirmative, sir." Came the reply from the earbuds in my ear.

I went to my lab in my penthouse and began working on creating a method in which to get her powers. The lab isn't as advanced as my one on Perfectum, but it will do. My flying artificial planet is reserved for people with a good mind defense and who are trustworthy. Yelena doesn't meet any of the two requirements so I can't improve her on Perfectum.

I take a bit of inspiration from OnePiece and begin designing a fruit with the ability to grant a specific power I infuse it with. The fruit will fuse with the brain of the user, which will cause the power to not be able to be recreated if someone got Ahold of their DNA..

Another few benefits is that I can revive the person if the brain is still intact, and it will cause the person to slowly become loyal towards me. Side-effect number 4 is that it will increase the physique of the user to Captain America levels unless I infuse superstrength. Of course, there are still safety measures so only I can use the fused brain fruit.

By the end of the day I am almost done with the creation process, but I still have to select which power to use. Since Yelena is more of an assassin, a power like shape-shifting or intangibility can be extremely useful. Who am I kidding? I am obviously choosing intangibility since it is one of my favourite powers to use in battles unless I toy with my prey.

There are wards in the room so it isn't a problem when I take out the power stone from my hammer space. My trusty weapon comes flying from my room into my waiting hand and I transform it into a gauntlet to hold the stone. Inserting the purple gem I begin to infuse the power of intangibility into the fruit.

"Sir. Miss Belova has arrived and she hasn't been spotted." Oracle informs me through the speakers.

"Good, give her a route that won't let her encounter Hela. I really don't want to encounter any sort of conflict if Hela figures out I am giving the new girl a superior body to hers. Damn, I should probably get Hela into her main body soon."
