143. Chapter 143: Complete Analysis! Stormfront's Abilities Exposed!
However, everyone's gaze was focused on Homelander; they didn't know the black man was already dead.
"Mr. Jervis." Ashley Barrett on stage cast a pleading look at Xia Shang behind her. Xia Shang, his expression completely unmoved, walked up beside Ashley Barrett, took the microphone from her hand, and said, "Everyone, please calm down. The dangerous individual who caused the disturbance has been subdued by Homelander. If anyone was injured during this incident, please go to the Hospital for treatment as soon as possible.
All medical expenses will be fully covered by Vought. Furthermore, after the event concludes, Vought will give everyone a 50 US Dollar Shopping Voucher as an expression of our apologies... Therefore, please actively maintain order to ensure the Supe meet-and-greet can continue."
While he was speaking, the Panel's notification popped up.
[Telekinetic Pull Fusion in progress, current progress 100%]
Seeing that the fans' emotions had calmed down and order at the scene was gradually restored, Xia Shang returned the microphone to Ashley Barrett. He then looked at Stormfront and chose to analyze all of her abilities.
As time passed, the event was already past the halfway point, reaching the fans' favorite autograph session.
Just then, Xia Shang's analysis was successfully completed.
Because a complete analysis requires a very long time, Xia Shang had only used it twice so far. The first time was on Shinichi Izumi from Parasyte, and the second time was on Stormfront just now.
[Innate Ability: Super Perception]
[analysis condition: Completely destroy the sensory organs Stormfront uses for sensing.]
[After fusion, the Player's sense of touch, smell, taste, hearing, and sight will be enhanced, and the Player can freely adjust the sensitivity. The ears, representing hearing, and the eyes, representing sight, will be significantly enhanced.
At the same time, the Player's reaction ability will also be improved.]
Xia Shang estimated that this superpower would likely overlap with Homelander's abilities. As for which was stronger, from the current perspective, Homelander's development level was clearly superior.
Furthermore, to become a top combat power in The Boys, Super Perception was an essential skill. It wasn't just Stormfront and Homelander; Queen Maeve and the others likely also possessed it. As for whether The Deep had it, Xia Shang felt he probably did.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have had a relationship with an octopus and treated the octopus as his true wife. Clearly, the octopus provided him with greater stimulation.
Regarding this ability, Xia Shang was determined to acquire it. It would be of great help to his combat power.
Subsequently, Xia Shang shifted his gaze to the next innate ability.
[Talent Skill: Super Physique]
There was no need to say more about this; it was almost identical to the superpower on Queen Maeve, even having the same fusion condition: contact for two hours.
As for the next Talent Skill, "Rapid Self-Healing," Xia Shang didn't even spare it a glance. This thing was a lower-tier skill compared to Self-Healing Enhancement. It was completely outclassed by Self-Healing Enhancement in every aspect, and fusing it would just be a waste of time.
Fortunately, Stormfront's third Talent Skill finally made Xia Shang's eyes light up.
[Talent Skill: Supersonic Flight]
[fusion condition: Defeat Stormfront in the air, no time limit.]
[After fusion, a very thin Bio-Forcefield will be generated on the Player's body surface. The Bio-Forcefield cannot change shape or spread to other objects; it can only act on the Player's body. The Player can control the Bio-Forcefield to change the gravitational field around their body, thereby gaining the ability of Supersonic Flight.
The energy to maintain the Bio-Forcefield will be drawn from the Player's body, and the Player can only affect the Earth's magnetic field, not magnetic forces like solar magnetic waves.] Amazing! And a superpower with huge development potential!
Unfortunately, the fusion condition was too demanding.
How easy was it to defeat Stormfront in the air? Not to mention she could fly at supersonic speed; even if she didn't use that ability and simply controlled lightning, Xia Shang might not be able to block it.
Unless he chose to fuse Starlight's superpower. Whether he could absorb the lightning released by Stormfront was debatable, but at least it would increase his resistance to lightning. Only then would Xia Shang have the confidence to defeat or even kill Stormfront in a head-on confrontation.
However, the premise was that Stormfront didn't use Supersonic Flight. Xia Shang was currently experiencing a massive headache.
One must know that before this, Xia Shang only knew Stormfront could fly, not that it was Supersonic Flight. These were completely different concepts.
The current situation was quite awkward for Xia Shang.
He did possess the conditions to kill Stormfront. After all, the eighteen eyeballs within him weren't just for show; eighteen super-frequency Heat Vision beams were enough to slice Stormfront into pieces. But he couldn't guarantee a hit on a target flying at supersonic speed in the air.
"How great would it be if the fusion condition was just killing Stormfront," Xia Shang sighed inwardly.
At this moment, he was sitting behind The Seven. Ashley Barrett handed him a cup of coffee.
Despite the sky gradually darkening, the popularity at the event scene hadn't decreased at all; instead, it was growing. In front of every Superhero's table, lines of fans waiting for autographs stretched as far as the eye could see.
Just then, Xia Shang sensed a familiar radio waves from Stormfront's line. The owner of this radio waves was Kimiko, who possessed Self-Healing Enhancement.
Xia Shang looked in the direction of the radio waves and found Frenchie accompanying Kimiko. Both of them had put on a disguise. They were currently near the front of the line. At the current speed, they would be able to see Stormfront in about three minutes.
Diversion?
This word immediately popped into Xia Shang's mind.
They dared to risk death by directly approaching Stormfront. What did they want to do? Xia Shang hadn't sent the operation time and address to Billy. This was clearly Billy acting on his own initiative. Could it be that Billy was wary of him? Worried that killing Stormfront was just a trap set by Xia Shang in conjunction with Vought and The Seven.
This possibility was very high.
Based on his understanding of Billy, it was indeed impossible for Billy to trust the words of a Vought Vice President.
"Old Fox." If Xia Shang hadn't guessed wrong.
Billy had already planted a bomb somewhere, just waiting for Stormfront to show up.
Sure enough, the next second, he received a text message from Hughie.
"Operation begins. Tomorrow noon, meet at an abandoned chemical plant in the Philadelphia Suburbs. Don't be late."
Tomorrow noon? Xia Shang had thought Billy and the others wanted to act tonight.
He looked up and indeed saw Frenchie holding Kimiko's hand, safely squeezing out of the crowd.
Meanwhile, on Stormfront's table, a challenge letter had appeared!
