if Raymond had to choose which of the three Silver Sub-Personalities he was most satisfied with, it would definitely be the Orochimaru Sub-Personality.
It's not that Orochimaru is necessarily the strongest. At least compared to the Itachi personality that was also activated, Orochimaru is definitely weaker.
But the strongest thing about Orochimaru has never been his strength; it's his persistence!
In the world of Naruto, many people have defeated Orochimaru, and there are certainly many who are stronger than him.
But no matter what, he just can't be killed. Even if he is killed, he can always come back to life!
As the saying goes, "The Hokage changes like flowing water, but Orochimaru remains like iron."
For Raymond, activating the Orochimaru Sub-Personality undoubtedly added another ace to his hand, one that could save his life at critical moments.
On the other hand, Orochimaru's research abilities also made Raymond look forward to it a bit.
Because this is the Marvel world!
In the world of Naruto, Orochimaru's ability to survive made him stronger, but his actual power didn't improve much.
He spent most of his life on research, yet his strength remained stagnant.
But in this world, it's different.
Things like Captain America's "Super Soldier Serum" and the "Extremis Virus" developed by Killian aren't even that impressive.
What's truly remarkable is the mysterious drug that Sentry took, which was thousand times stronger than the "Super Soldier Serum," turning him into a Marvel version of Superman.
Although Sentry's case was partly a coincidence—not everyone who takes that drug becomes as strong as him, or even survives taking it—this proves that in this world, drugs are one of the ways to progress.
If Orochimaru's Sub-Personality can create a safe and effective drug, Raymond would naturally be very pleased.
That way, he could take the drug to boost his overall power, which would be much faster than using Immersive Mode.
The system never said that the abilities enhanced through Immersive Mode were the only way to improve one's overall stat points.
Previously, when Raymond asked Tony for a few stable versions of the perfect "Extremis Virus," he was not only thinking about helping his family in this world, but also considering using it for himself.
Of course, this was just an idea.
Unless absolutely necessary, he would still prefer not to use something like the "Extremis Virus" to enhance himself.
This is because he wasn't sure whether taking the "Extremis Virus" would affect his future training, like his "Ki mastery." Would taking the "Extremis Virus" limit his ability to train in "Ki"?
If it does, it would be like killing the chicken to get the egg.
But now, with the Orochimaru Sub-Personality, he could research and test this aspect more in the future.
As long as he can confirm that taking drugs has no negative impact, or can develop something more effective than the "Extremis Virus" that is completely safe, then that would be even better.
With the three Silver Sub-Personalities now in his mind, the previous Sub-Personalities were all stirred up.
As an old sub-personality, Kuro was the first to sense the new ones and said, "I'm Kuro, Raymond's first sub-personality, and from now on, I'll be looking out for you!"
"Look closely, all three are Silver-level..." Deadshot's sub-personality reminded.
It's worth noting that the sub-personalities can sense each other's levels.
Although these levels don't always equate to strength, and the sub-personalities can't hurt each other yet, the existing Bronze sub-personalities generally avoid provoking the two Silver sub-personalities.
This is kind of an unspoken understanding among them.
Moreover, the two Silver sub-personalities don't pay much attention to the Bronze ones, except for the well-known John Constantine sub-personality.
After John defeated the Shadow King, he quickly rose above the Bronze sub-personalities.
Even the two Silver sub-personalities couldn't fully read him and secretly felt some curiosity.
When Kuro's sub-personality was reminded, he noticed that these were three big shots and immediately became respectful.
Tao Pai Pai and Akainu also noticed this but didn't speak up immediately.
As Silver-level sub-personalities, they weren't afraid of each other but also didn't think they were superior.
So it made sense to observe first.
"I didn't expect to meet Itachi this way…" Orochimaru's sub-personality said with a playful tone.
"Annoying," Itachi's sub-personality replied coldly.
Even though Itachi's sub-personality expressed clear disdain for Orochimaru, his tone was always calm, as though nothing in the world could move him.
Orochimaru's sub-personality responded, "This time we're really 'on the same side'. Itachi, do you still want to kill me?"
Itachi's sub-personality didn't respond to Orochimaru but turned to Raymond and said, "Raymond, please be careful of this guy. Even if he's 'one of us,' he's not trustworthy."
Orochimaru's sub-personality was taken aback by Itachi's words. What was this? Why was he suddenly being snitched?
Was this the same solitary and cold Itachi he knew?
But the sub-personalities knew their existence was tied to Raymond, so when Orochimaru realized Itachi had just stabbed him in the back, he immediately tried to explain.
"Raymond, don't listen to him, we're all one, how could I harm myself?"
John Constantine's sub-personality suddenly chuckled, "Hey, who said you can't harm yourself?"
Orochimaru's sub-personality was already frustrated by Itachi's sudden stab, but he was too wary of Itachi to directly confront him.
However, John Constantine, a Bronze sub-personality, dared to jump in and make things worse. Did he think Orochimaru could be easily bullied?
"Sometimes, saying the wrong thing comes with consequences," Orochimaru's sub-personality said coldly.
"Heh…" John Constantine's sub-personality chuckled quietly without directly responding to the threat.
The other sub-personalities watched eagerly, enjoying the spectacle.
Clearly, Orochimaru's sub-personality only saw John as a Bronze-level sub-personality, and since he had appeared later, Orochimaru hadn't seen John Constantine's achievements, thinking he was an easy target.
Especially the Bronze sub-personalities, who hoped John would teach Orochimaru a lesson, showing him that they couldn't be casually trampled on.
As for Akainu and Tao Pai Pai, they had no personal ties with Orochimaru and weren't goody-goodies, so they didn't bother warning him.
