DC: Becoming Supreme With Technology ( I Beat Superman)

Ethan placed the suitcase-sized reactor on a test platform in his lab. The moment of truth had arrived. He activated the system, watching as the magnetic confinement system powered up and the muon accelerator began generating particles.

The reactor hummed to life, and within moments, it reached full operational capacity. Energy readings spiked, but the system remained stable. The quantum capacitors stored the energy with ease, while the thermal recycling system converted excess heat into usable power.

"Helios, status report," Ethan said.

"All systems are stable," Helios replied. "Energy output is at 97% efficiency. Cooling systems are functioning within expected parameters."

Ethan smiled, a sense of accomplishment washing over him. This wasn't just a technological breakthrough—it was a game-changer. The suitcase-sized Muon Catalytic Fusion Reactor was compact, efficient, and powerful enough to rival any energy source in existence.

Ethan closed the reactor's casing and placed his hand on its smooth surface. With this device, he could power the Echo Box indefinitely, giving him access to its full range of capabilities without any energy constraints. But the reactor's potential extended far beyond that. It could power cities, terraform planets, or even serve as a portable power source for interstellar exploration.

"Helios, log the completion of Project Star," Ethan said. "Now, we move on to the next phase."

"Helios, connect the reactor to the echobox'" Ethan said.

Ethan stood in the quiet of his lab, his gaze fixed on the portable Muon Catalytic Fusion Reactor connected to the Echo Box. The reactor hummed steadily, its rhythmic pulse a testament to the immense power it generated. The Echo Box hovered in midair, glowing with a brilliance that illuminated the entire room. The intricate carvings on its surface shimmered, as though alive, pulsating with raw, limitless potential. For the first time, Ethan felt he had unlocked the full potential of the box—a power that could reshape the very fabric of reality.

"Helios," he said, his voice steady but filled with anticipation, "status report."

"The Muon Reactor is operating at 98% efficiency," Helios replied, his smooth voice cutting through the ambient hum. "Energy transfer to the Echo Box is complete. All systems are stable, and the box is now operating at full capacity."

Ethan smiled, his pride evident. "Record every piece of data, Helios. I don't want to miss a single detail."

The Echo Box, now fully powered, floated effortlessly, exuding an aura of infinite possibility. Yet Ethan knew he couldn't keep such a powerful artifact on Earth—not when the planet was teeming with potential threats, both mortal and cosmic. It needed to be tested, and it needed to be secured far from prying eyes.

Ethan reached out and gripped the Echo Box. Its surface was warm, almost alive, resonating with the power coursing through it. Concentrating, he willed the box to open a spatial breach. A swirling vortex of violet and silver energy materialized before him, the edges crackling with electricity. Through the portal, he glimpsed the asteroid field near Jupiter—a remote expanse far from Earth's satellites and telescopes.

Taking a deep breath, Ethan stepped through the breach, emerging into the cold, silent void of space. The asteroid field stretched out before him, a chaotic ballet of massive rocks and debris drifting in the dark. The Echo Box floated beside him, its glow illuminating the rocky expanse.

"Helios, begin environmental scans," Ethan commanded. "Locate a suitable asteroid for testing."

"Scanning now," Helios replied. A moment later, he added, "Target identified. Asteroid designation XJ-9247, approximately 3.2 kilometers in diameter. Composition: primarily silicates and iron."

Ethan turned to the asteroid Helios had pinpointed. It was a massive, jagged rock tumbling slowly through space, its surface pocked with craters. Perfect for what he had in mind.

Ethan directed the Echo Box's energy toward the asteroid. Tendrils of light shot out from the box, wrapping around the massive rock like glowing vines. Concentrating, Ethan began to manipulate the asteroid's molecular structure.

The rough, uneven surface of the asteroid began to transform, its composition shifting as Ethan transmuted the silicates into pure iron. The dull, lifeless rock now gleamed with a metallic sheen. He continued, creating veins of gold and diamond that crisscrossed the iron surface, their brilliance catching the faint light of the distant sun. Ethan smiled as he worked, marveling at how effortlessly the Echo Box could rearrange matter.

But this was only the beginning. Ethan turned his attention to a larger asteroid nearby, one nearly 1,500 kilometers in diameter—half the size of Earth's moon. This would be his masterpiece.

Channeling the Echo Box's power, Ethan began to terraform the asteroid. He degraded sections of the rock into atmospheric gases, creating a breathable atmosphere that enveloped the asteroid. Oceans formed as water cascaded across the surface, filling massive basins. Mountain ranges rose, their peaks capped with snow, while lush forests and rolling plains began to take shape.

He directed the Echo Box to create rivers that snaked through the landscape, carving valleys and feeding into the newly formed oceans. Clouds gathered in the sky, their shadows drifting over the alien terrain. In the center of the asteroid, Ethan created a massive, glowing sphere of plasma—an artificial sun—to provide light and warmth.

Within an hour, the asteroid had been transformed into a miniature Earth-like planet, complete with its own ecosystem and atmosphere. The only thing it lacked was life.

Ethan floated above the planet, surveying his creation. The Echo Box pulsed with a soft, steady glow, as if it too was admiring their handiwork. He had done it. He had created a world from nothing, reshaping lifeless rock into a vibrant, living environment.

"Helios," he said, his voice filled with awe, "status report."

"The terraforming process is complete," Helios replied. "The planet is stable, with fully functional atmosphere, hydrosphere, and geosphere. All systems are operating within optimal parameters."

Ethan nodded, a mixture of pride and humility washing over him. He had wielded the power of creation, a feat that few beings in the universe could claim. But with such power came an overwhelming sense of responsibility. This was not a toy. It was a tool—and one that could be catastrophic if misused.

"This will be our testbed," Ethan said. "Mark its coordinates and establish a monitoring system. If anything destabilizes, I want to know immediately."

"Coordinates logged," Helios confirmed. "Monitoring systems active."

Satisfied, Ethan opened another breach, stepping through it and re-emerging in his penthouse. The familiar surroundings were a stark contrast to the cosmic expanse he had just left behind. The city lights twinkled outside his window, oblivious to the godlike power that had just been wielded in the depths of space.

He poured himself a glass of water and sat by the window, reflecting on what he had accomplished. The Echo Box was now resting in space, its capabilities tested and proven. He had created a planet—a testament to his intellect, his ingenuity, and the immense power he now controlled.

But this was just the beginning. The Echo Box and the Muon Catalytic Fusion Reactor were only tools, and their true potential had yet to be fully realized. For now, Ethan would rest. Tomorrow, he would plan the next phase of his work—a phase that would push the boundaries of science and reality even further.

"Helios," he said, breaking the silence, "log the completion of today's experiment. Tomorrow, we begin preparations for the next phase."

As Helios acknowledged the command, Ethan leaned back in his chair, a small smile playing on his lips. For the first time in a long while, he felt truly unstoppable.
