Chapter 165: The Dangerous Multiverse

"What is this!"

Supersonic screamed in fear, trying to pull his hand out of those tentacles.

But the tentacles only wrapped tighter, and inside them grew needles smaller than a strand of hair.

They pierced into Supersonic's clothes, quickly infiltrating the fabric and replacing the fibers.

They transferred themselves with the clothing fibers, turning into Supersonic's clothes!

"Get away!"

"Let me go!"

Supersonic shouted, bursting with incredible speed, rushing to the entrance of the parking lot.

He wanted to shake off that bizarre thing.

But when he stopped.

He despairingly discovered.

That thing had followed him.

The black man who had asked for his autograph had been dragged along with him.

"No!"

"Damn it!"

Supersonic swung his fist fiercely, striking the black man.

He wanted to kill the black man who had brought him misfortune.

And it went as he wished.

With one punch from Supersonic, the black man's head twisted almost 180 degrees.

An ordinary person couldn't withstand his attack.

The black man's neck was already broken, with bones piercing through the skin.

But even so.

The black man still looked at him and said, "It's useless."

"You so-called superhumans are much weaker compared to back in the day."

"Not to mention comparing to those elders or grand elders, you don't even have the strength of the black robes or red robes."

Supersonic shouted, "What are you talking about?"

"I don't understand at all!"

"Do you want money? I'll give it to you, I'll give you money!"

"Let me go!"

"Let me go!"

The black man showed a strange smile: "Let you go, how could that be?"

"If you had caught prey, you wouldn't easily let go either, would you?"

"Our race is actually very weak."

"But we have a talent."

"We can make prey stronger, so that some simple-minded beings willingly become our hosts."

"But they don't know, while we make the hosts stronger, we also absorb their nutrients and replicate their genes."

"We can perfectly fuse all genes together, and through this method, we survive in harsh environments."

"And gradually, we become stronger."

"Like now."

"I'm about to parasitize you."

"Then, I will make you stronger."

"But you will also need to support me."

"I will replicate your genes, I will have the same abilities as you, and I will perform them more perfectly."

"We are the most perfect life forms in this universe."

As the black man spoke, more and more tentacles from his clothes wrapped around Supersonic.

Supersonic's clothes were quickly replaced by these tentacles.

His clothes wriggled, like a living creature.

And as Supersonic's clothes wriggled, the black man's face grew paler.

As if nearing death.

When all the clothes on the black man turned into tentacles, entangling Supersonic.

Finally stabilizing.

Transforming into a racing driver's outfit, the black man fell to the ground, breathless.

At this moment, Supersonic horrifyingly discovered that he was speaking, in his own voice.

But he could no longer control his body, his actions!

He was like a bystander.

Helplessly watching something parasitize his body and control it.

"Compared to that bodyguard, the superhuman body is indeed much stronger."

"So comfortable, this feeling."

"Every unit of blood contains such rich nutrients."

"If a third-rate superhuman is like this, that 'Homelander' must be even more delicious, right?"

Supersonic's mind was in chaos, not knowing what had happened to his body.

Then he heard himself say.

"You must be very confused now."

"That's how it is."

"We can control the host's actions."

"But we won't control your thoughts, which is even more tragic for you."

"Like those stroke patients, conscious but unable to move."

"Only able to grieve in secret."

"But there's one thing you should be glad about, because of me, you will be known by more people."

"You will become a hero they celebrate."

"So you see, paying a small price."

"Is worth it."

"Hahaha."

In the parking lot, Supersonic laughed for a while, then picked up the black man's corpse.

Threw it into the car trunk, and drove away.

[Darkhold Fragment 'Necromancy': Necromancy spell, this spell can awaken the spirits of the dead and make them serve you, these spirits can gather information for you, create large-scale supernatural phenomena, and monitor targets for you, note that when dawn comes, they will escape your control.]

[Price: Proficiency Essence*30]

[Note: The Darkhold is a cursed and despised object in the multiverse, the more fragments collected, the more expensive it becomes, please purchase cautiously.]

Looking at this newly refreshed item in his store, Azu shrugged.

Then spent 30 'Proficiency Essence' to buy this page of necromancy magic.

Being able to command spirits to gather information and monitor targets.

Equivalent to having an additional reconnaissance team.

Although now Azu can obtain the information he needs directly from the internet through 'Information Domination'.

But 'Information Domination' is not omnipotent, what if he is in a post-apocalyptic universe.

Without the internet, what then?

As for large-scale supernatural phenomena, Azu doesn't know what that entails or what it's good for.

He can only wait for a suitable time to conduct some experiments.

Next, he spent 35 Dimensional Crystals to buy the 'Hercules' Wristbands'.

After purchasing the 'Hercules' Wristbands', this item disappeared from the store.

The same situation.

Applied to the earlier Darkhold fragment.

This is completely different from previous merchandise.

In other words, Darkhold fragments and 'Hercules' Wristbands' such artifacts can only be purchased once.

Once bought, even if you have the resources, you cannot purchase them again.

After purchasing these two items.

Azu's 'Proficiency Essence' was left with 109, and Dimensional Crystals with 4.

The Certificates of Glory haven't been touched, Azu has no impulse to buy items for now.

As for those multiverse coordinates, he is tempted, but lacks Certificates of Glory.

Each multiverse coordinate requires 100 Certificates of Glory, and he only has 64.

Seeing another page added to the Darkhold, and the Hercules' Wristbands already in hand.

Just need to save up some more crystals to buy Thor's Hammer.

Then it can be used in conjunction with the Hercules' Wristbands, to activate the strongest state of the Hercules' Wristbands when necessary!

Satisfied, Azu placed the [Darkhold] into his inventory, and equipped the [Hercules' Wristbands] directly onto his hands.

Even without wearing the battle armor, Azu is unwilling to part with them.

This way, he permanently has ten times 'Divine Power'!

If it were before, Azu would probably think that he is invincible in this state now.

But Martin has personally demonstrated that sometimes, having power alone is not enough.

If encountering some strange magic, or something like Thanos's [Infinity Gauntlet] that can certainly alter reality.

Not just ten times 'Divine Power', even ten thousand times would be useless.

Caution!

More caution!

Azu warned himself, at least until he gets six Infinity Stones or collects three Mother Boxes, then he can go play with other universes' 'Homelanders'.

Otherwise, he might very well follow in Martin's footsteps.

The multiverse is truly dangerous!

However.

The 'The Boys' universe seems quite safe for now.

Azu, with a full smile, arrived at the command hall.

The door to the hall opened.

He saw Stormfront talking to Starlight.

"Starlight, I hope you don't mind."

"I wasn't intentional before."

"After all, if I didn't do that, how could I show my sincerity to Homelander."

"And I didn't wrong you, you did take Compound V for us."

"But it's fine now, Homelander has forgiven you, hasn't he?"

"Do you want me to teach you how to trick Homelander into your bed?"

"To be honest, you're much more charming than Queen Maeve."

"Do you like women? If you do, I'm not opposed, haha."

Starlight shook her head: "I don't want to talk about this anymore, okay?"

Then she saw Azu and quickly said: "Homelander is here."

Azu looked at Stormfront with a half-smile.

"What are you talking about?"

He asked deliberately.

Stormfront, without blushing or skipping a beat, said: "Starlight and I were discussing some women's topics."

"Starlight's chest is so big, I'm a bit envious of her."

Starlight's face immediately turned a bit red, wanting to explain, but Stormfront had already walked over to Homelander, she could only roll her eyes.

Stormfront came to Azu's side, whispering: "Homelander, do you want me to help you get Starlight into bed?"

"We can play some exciting games together."

She winked at Azu.

Azu chuckled, beckoning her to come closer.

Then Azu said: "Don't think I've forgotten what you did before, stop being so cheeky with me."

"If you have time, why not help me find that old woman Mallory."

Stormfront shrugged: "You're the boss, you call the shots, I'll go find Mallory for you now, wait for my good news."

After saying that, she waved to Starlight: "Good luck, Starlight, I'm rooting for you."

Only then did she walk out of the command hall.

At this time, only Azu and Starlight were left in the command hall.

Starlight, dressed sexily, walked over, hesitated, and then said to Azu.

"Homelander, I am very sorry."

"I apologize for what I did before, after talking with Queen Maeve, I realized I was indeed too naive."

"I shouldn't have been so easily swayed, can you forgive me?"

Looking at Starlight so close, Azu really wanted to devour her.

But he kept his hands behind his back, maintaining a graceful demeanor: "If you want my forgiveness, you'll have to show me your determination."

"Let me see your resolve, let me see your change."

Starlight nodded: "I will work hard."

At this moment, the door to the command hall opened, and Ashley walked in wearing a bright yellow jacket.

Seeing Starlight almost pressed against Azu, she smiled and said: "Should I come back later?"

Starlight quickly said: "I have an interview, I'll go first."

She passed by Ashley, who then walked up and said.

"Homelander, the Department of Defense has something they want to consult you about."

"Consult?"

Azu smiled: "When did they become so polite."

Ashley shrugged, then continued: "Here's the thing."

"They think the 'Superhuman Regulatory Department' has been established for a while now."

"And now, there are also affiliated action teams."

"They think it's time to showcase to the public, after all, this department also uses taxpayers' money."

"They hope to show the public the results."

Azu pulled up a chair and sat down: "So, what do they want to do?"

Ashley put down a tablet, which contained some information.

She pushed the computer in front of Azu: "This is a superhuman criminal group [Starfire], they promote the supremacy of superhumans, believing that the world should be ruled by superhumans, and all ordinary humans must be enslaved, they are an extremist organization."

"They are hiding in a small Middle Eastern country, supported by that country, and have already caused several incidents on our soil."

"The Department of Defense hopes that you and your department can sanction them."

Azu couldn't help but laugh: "What, this 'Superhuman Regulatory Department', regulates the whole world?"

"Superhumans from other countries are also our responsibility?"

"Don't they think they're overreaching?"

Then without waiting for Ashley to respond, Azu said: "Indeed, they don't."

"They always find reasons to meddle in others' affairs."

Ashley forced a smile and said: "Here's the thing, recently 'Starfire' has appeared in New York, possibly planning an operation."

"The CIA has obtained solid intelligence and knows their location."

"So the Department of Defense hopes you can take action."

Azu shrugged: "No problem."

"Have the CIA cooperate with us, bring the intelligence."

"I'll have Starlight and Princess Snow work together, and deploy the Delta Force."

"That should be no problem."

Then, he saw Ashley hesitate.

"Whatever you want to say, just say it." Azu said.

Ashley then said: "Secretary Wilson means, he hopes you can take the lead personally."

Azu's smile gradually widened: "Tell him, if he wants me to take action, that's fine."

"Completely no problem."

"But I want a general's rank."

Azu knew exactly what the Department of Defense was up to.

It's nothing more than the old 'using barbarians to control barbarians' trick.

Azu didn't mind, but the Department of Defense had to offer a 'price' that interested him.

Hearing Azu's words, Ashley could only say: "Alright, I'll go reply to Secretary Wilson now."

After leaving the command hall, Ashley took out her phone to reply to the Department of Defense, then saw a message.

The message was from a friend, asking to meet at the Vienna Hotel tonight.

After Ashley left, Azu went to Fort Drum base.

Here, the Delta Force, under the command of Lieutenant Cottie.

With Electric Man as the imaginary enemy.

Was conducting a simulated combat exercise.

"Advance, advance."

"Team 1, charge in."

"Other teams, get ready."

Lieutenant Cottie commanded through the radio communication device, under his command, a team of soldiers charged through the door.

Inside the house, 'Electric Man', playing the superhuman criminal, shouted.

His eyes flashed with electricity.

His hands emitted bright electric currents, roaring towards the soldiers.

The room immediately echoed with crackling electric sounds.

But the soldiers withstood the electric surge, their equipment was all made of rubber.

All insulating materials.

This made Electric Man's electric attacks ineffective.

The soldiers, meanwhile, quickly launched capture nets, these nets were also made of rubber, insulating.

They covered Electric Man, who struggled to break free.

Soon, this superhuman criminal was captured.

At this moment.

Applause sounded.

The soldiers looked and saw a figure standing in mid-air.

A red cape fluttering like fire in the sunlight, a black combat suit flowing with a metallic sheen, a pair of white-gold luxurious metal wristbands exuding majesty.

The blond, blue-eyed man smiled and said: "You did well."

"Targeting Electric Man's characteristics, using targeted equipment, that's very good."

"Indeed, facing superhuman criminals, ordinary people are not helpless."

"As long as you find the right strategy, you can easily subdue them like ordinary criminals."

"Gentlemen, you are the best!"

"I am proud of you."

Lieutenant Cottie took off his hat and smiled: "Homelander is here."

Cheers erupted in Fort Drum base, the soldiers were elated by Azu's praise, only Electric Man looked gloomy.

These past few days, he had been beaten up by these soldiers quite a bit.

Azu landed, walked among the soldiers, shook hands with each of them, then found Lieutenant Cottie.

Looking at the lieutenant, whose build was like a steel ingot, Azu said: "You might have an operation soon."

"The opponent is the superhuman criminal group, Starfire."

"Later, I'll have someone send over the information on the notable superhuman criminals in 'Starfire'."

"Study it."

"During the operation, Starlight and Princess Snow will cooperate with you."

"But the main part will still be your responsibility."

Hearing that Starlight and Princess Snow would be involved, the soldiers got excited.

"Starlight is coming too? I'm her fan, can I get her autograph?"

"I like Princess Snow, her long legs are just amazing."

"I still prefer Starlight, she's like my first love."

Glancing at the chattering soldiers, Lieutenant Cottie roared: "Shut up, feeling relaxed, go run."

"To the field, 50 laps!"

Immediately, the soldiers cried out.

Lieutenant Cottie then smiled at Azu: "No problem, we're ready to go anytime!"

Night fell.

Lights flickered in New York City.

Ashley, dressed to the nines, got out of the car, took a breath of the fresh night air, and walked into the Vienna Hotel.

In the restaurant, she met her good friend.

But at this moment, she also saw a gentleman beside her friend.

The president of Olga Company, Arnold!
