Chapter 336: Mindstorm or Cate?
Against a backdrop of wailing and flames, Homelander was like a supreme deity trampling the world, wantonly slaughtering all beings within his gaze.
"Why didn't you help me just now? Where's your Chest Beam that can seal superpowers?" Billy rushed up to Soldier Boy, roaring hysterically.
The scene before him, like the apocalypse descending, deeply stirred him.
How terrifying it would be when an extremely powerful Supe loses restraint, disregarding law and morality. This was originally just a scenario in Billy's imagination, but now it had become reality!
"Are you telling me what to do? I don't think I agreed to deal with Homelander with you."
Soldier Boy pushed Billy aside and walked straight towards the Villa.
"Damn beast! You and Homelander are both disgusting trash!" In a fit of impulse, Billy cursed at Soldier Boy.
"Say that again if you dare!" Anger surged on Soldier Boy's face. He allowed himself to insult others, but he wouldn't allow others to insult him.
He turned around, then pounced on Billy like a cheetah. He raised his shield high and slammed it violently onto Billy's face. The immense burst of power instantly sent Billy flying. Bang! Billy was smashed into a tree. The hard bark was shattered like foam upon impact, and accompanied by the violent shaking of the entire trunk, countless leaves rustled down.
Homelander, seeing this scene from the air, curled up the corners of his mouth and smiled exceptionally brightly.
"Run! Hurry and run! Homelander is fucking crazy!" Some Reporters who miraculously survived could no longer care about the filming mission their supervisor had assigned them. They ran towards the Forest outside, hating that their parents had only given them two legs under the shadow of death.
"Hmph! Trying to escape!"
Homelander, knowing he had caused a huge incident, how could he let the Reporters leave safely? Since the incident had already happened, he might as well go all the way! Under Homelander's vision, which far surpassed that of eagles, the Reporters fleeing in panic were one by one swept down by heat vision.
At this moment, the Villa had long since become chaotic. Hughie, who had regained his ability to move, rushed to the TNT Twins, his tone urgent: "Get out of here quickly, Homelander wants to kill all of us!"
Saying this, he took out the temporary Compound V he had prepared earlier and injected it directly into his left arm.
"Isn't it a bit late to leave now!" Unexpectedly, just then, Homelander, who had finished dealing with the small fry, suddenly descended from the sky. He extended his right arm, grabbed one of the TNT Twins by the neck, and then turned his head to look at the other. A terrifying red laser swept across that person's neck.
In an instant, a head with a panic expression and eyes full of fear slid onto the floor.
Crack! Homelander grinned hideously as he twisted the TNT Twins' neck, then pulled upwards with force. A cervical spine with muscle fiber attached, steaming hot, was completely pulled out by him.
"Mysterious Person, what do you think of this gift I prepared for Father?"
As his voice fell, Xia Shang gradually appeared behind Homelander.
"Not bad, he should be satisfied."
"Mr. Jervis! You actually defected to Homelander!"
When Hughie saw Xia Shang's face, he trembled with rage. He had originally thought Mr. Jervis might be neutral, but he never expected Mr. Jervis would choose to side with Homelander.
"Don't make it sound so bad, I just changed my cooperation partner." Xia Shang smiled slightly.
"We won't let you off."
Just as heat vision was about to pierce Hughie's head, Hughie grabbed Mother's Milk's shoulder and instantly disappeared, leaving only a pile of scattered clothes on the floor.
"Why is Ryan here too?" After taking Mother's Milk to a safe place, Hughie returned again. This time, he brought back Ryan.
In the Forest.
Two fierce beasts were engaged in a rather intense close combat! However, compared to the dusty Soldier Boy, Billy, covered in blood marks and gasping for air, looked much more battered.
"It's been a while since I met an opponent as tough as you." Soldier Boy, relying on his shield, kept toying with Billy. He tensed all the muscle fiber in his arm, then forcefully swung the shield away. When the shield hit Billy and returned, he reached out and caught it again.
"Situation is bad, retreat quickly." A naked Hughie suddenly appeared beside Billy.
"That thing of yours is really small."
Soldier Boy looked at Hughie's lower body and sneered mockingly.
"Dare to show yours and compare." Hughie threw out a not-so-damaging harsh remark, then instantly left the Forest with Billy.
"Looks like I was a step late."
Just then, Homelander walked out, carrying two heads.
"It's you." Soldier Boy didn't look at Homelander, but at Xia Shang beside him.
"Next is the touching scene of you father and son reuniting. As an outsider, I choose to avoid." Xia Shang just wanted to see how much fantasy value this incident could add for him. As for resolving the conflict between him and Soldier Boy, sorry, he had absolutely no interest in that.
"See you at Vought Tower tomorrow morning."
Xia Shang smiled and disappeared into the surroundings, while Soldier Boy couldn't see him at all.
...
At three in the afternoon, in a Villa located in the New York Outskirts, Xia Shang was placing Compound V on the coffee table. There were six tubes in total, arranged neatly in two rows.
"These should be enough."
Xia Shang extended his right arm towards the coffee table. A small slit opened in his palm. Immediately after, several slender flesh and blood tentacles extended from it, then drilled into the opening of the glass bottles containing Compound V, continuously transporting the liquid into Xia Shang's body.
[Superpower Chest Blast fusion in progress, current progress is 92%...94%...96%...]
As the clear blue liquid in several glass bottles slowly bottomed out, the fusion progress on the Panel finally stopped at 99%.
It was a pity it was still a little short, but this was also a normal situation. Seeing this, Xia Shang retracted his tentacles and closed the Panel.
Even without the aid of Compound V, he was absolutely confident he could push the fusion progress from 99% to 100% within half a day.
"Looks like I need to decide on the next fusion target beforehand." Sitting on the sofa, Xia Shang was somewhat hesitant. Currently, there were two Candidates before him: Mindstorm, who could pull people into memories, and Cate, who could perform cognitive alteration or control minds.
In terms of ability limit, the former was clearly superior, as even Soldier Boy was wary of this superpower. This was enough to show that Mindstorm's superpower could affect almost all Supes in The Boys World, including Homelander.
