"Goku's template time is up. After transforming again, the combat power won't be as strong."
Hawking felt his body rapidly shrinking, and his rationality returned. He immediately felt a sense of dread.
Although his original body also had Saiyan bloodline and could transform into a Great Ape even without loading the Goku template, his original body's combat power, even if increased tenfold, wouldn't be very strong.
Moreover, there were sequelae when the template ended. He might pass out before he could transform again.
The final outcome was self-evident: all the X-Men would be taken away and imprisoned by S.H.I.E.L.D., and the subsequent situation would definitely not be pleasant.
At this moment, he also realized that while the loaded protagonist template was powerful, it was ultimately an external force. Once that external force disappeared, he would revert to being a useless person.
External forces could be borrowed, but ultimately, one had to strengthen oneself.
This way, even if his miraculous protagonist loading panel disappeared one day, he would still be powerful.
After this is over, his focus will still be on cultivating his own body.
Only when his original body's strength reaches the same level as a thirteen-year-old Goku can he be considered to have a true ability to protect himself.
At that time, loading the Goku template would only add a power pole. After the loading ended, at most, the power pole would disappear, with almost no impact on his strength.
"Fortunately, the Justice Points I earned by killing Mastermind and preventing Professor X from destroying the Mutants are enough for me to activate the next template!"
Even if the Goku template couldn't be used, he could still draw a new template, but what that new template would be depended on luck.
If he drew an Ultraman, the crisis would be immediately resolved.
Relying on strong willpower, enduring the dizziness from the protagonist template ending, he quickly opened the panel to check it.
"Justice Point progress bar is full. You can perform one protagonist template draw. Do you want to draw?"
"Draw!"
He chose to draw without hesitation.
No matter who the next protagonist template was, as long as he loaded it immediately after drawing, he would have a chance to exploit a bug to cancel the after-effect caused by the previous protagonist template loading, preventing him from falling into a coma.
"Drawing... Drawing complete. The protagonist template drawn this time is fourteen-year-old Harry Potter from the Harry Potter World. Do you want to load?"
Fourteen-year-old Harry Potter would be in his fourth year, which means the "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" period.
"Load!"
He was certainly disappointed. The Harry Potter template wasn't bad; although various magic spells weren't strong in attack power, their miraculous magical effects could provide great assistance for his future life.
For example, Alohomora that could open any lock, Deformation Curse that temporarily changed the properties of objects, Repairing Spell that repaired items, and so on.
But these magic spells could only assist; they weren't enough to deal with Captain Marvel.
As the Harry Potter protagonist template loaded successfully, Hawking, who had returned to normal, changed again.
His clothes changed from the X-Men combat suit to a black Wizard robe, his hair was fluffy, he wore glasses, and a lightning bolt mark appeared on his forehead.
In his left hand were a firebolt flying broom and a large cloak, and in his right hand, a holly wand.
"A firebolt and an invisibility cloak too?"
The wand was within his expectations, as the Son Goku template also came with a power pole when loaded, but the flying broom and invisibility cloak were beyond his expectations.
However, after thinking about it, the firebolt's speed was about 240 kilometers per hour. Even if he rode it to escape now, he couldn't outfly Captain Marvel, who was a freak capable of traveling in the Universe.
The invisibility cloak, however, if used unexpectedly to put on, might allow him to escape.
The invisibility cloak in the Harry Potter World was one of the three Deathly Hallows, possessing permanent invisibility effects. Legend had it that even Shinigami couldn't find a person wearing the invisibility cloak.
Presumably, it shouldn't be easily seen through by high technology.
However, if he escaped, Professor X and the others would inevitably suffer.
Without Professor X, the Mutant School would naturally cease to exist, and he, Wanda, Pietro, including Auguri, and Elina, would all be in considerable trouble.
"Let's transform first. Maybe it'll be enough to bluff them."
Putting aside distracting thoughts, Hawking looked up at the large moon in the sky.
"Thump-thump. Thump-thump-thump-thump."
The familiar acceleration of his heartbeat struck again.
"As I expected, this bloodline is not overridden, but superimposed."
He had long suspected that loading a protagonist template didn't merely turn him into that protagonist, but rather superimposed it onto his original foundation.
Originally, he was just an ordinary person, so no change was visible when the Goku template was superimposed.
Now that his original body was a Saiyan, when the Harry Potter bloodline was loaded, he became a Harry Potter with a Saiyan body.
Of course, his current original body's strength was only slightly stronger than an ordinary person's, and the superposition of the two didn't seem to cause much change; at most, he would be a bit tougher than a normal young Wizard.
But if he developed further, once his strength reached the level of the Goku template, and then he loaded the Harry Potter template, he would become a magic-wielding Saiyan.
If he then added the Goku template, he would become a Goku with double the strength, directly reaching 280 combat power.
This was nothing, really. The more protagonist templates unlocked later, and the more bloodlines and abilities superimposed, the more versatile he would become, almost without any weaknesses.
"Roar!"
With a roar, his Wizard robe was torn on the spot, and Hawking once again transformed into a terrifying Great Ape, fourteen to fifteen meters tall.
This time, however, he clearly noticed a difference.
It wasn't that his combat power had significantly decreased; that was a certainty. The Great Ape he had transformed into now looked no different from before, but its combat power was vastly different.
Before, it was a Great Ape transformed by Goku with 140 combat power, reaching 1400 points. Now, it was a Great Ape transformed by his original body with 10 combat power, at most 100 combat power, which was even lower than Goku's combat power before he transformed earlier.
But it was still enough to bluff. As long as he didn't make a move, everyone else would definitely still believe his strength was as terrifying as before.
What truly surprised him was that after transforming into a Great Ape this time, he clearly felt that the anger and desire for destruction could actually be suppressed.
Now he could completely and rationally control the Great Ape form, just like an elite Saiyan warrior such as Vegeta.
Moreover, he vaguely felt that if he wanted to, he could completely suppress that anger and destructive desire, thereby allowing the Great Ape form to be dispelled and return to his normal form.
This would allow him to freely control his transformation and switch forms even during a full moon.
The superposition of Harry Potter's Wizard Bloodline and his own Saiyan bloodline perfectly resolved the drawback of lower-class Saiyan warriors lacking rationality after transforming into a Great Ape, and also resolved the drawback of being unable to control the transformation during a full moon.
