Chapter 81 Satan (10,000 words)
Previously, to guard against the superpowers of the Mind Storm, Soldier Boy, Butcher, and Hughie launched a surprise attack from three different directions.
As it turned out, the soldier boy happened to block the path of the mental storm first, knocking him to the ground.
Immediately afterwards, Homelander flew in, and the two immediately engaged in a fierce battle.
At that moment, Butcher and Hughie heard the loud noise and rushed over!
"It's you?" The moment Homelander saw Butcher, a look of sudden realization appeared on his face.
It was as if all the things that I hadn't understood before suddenly made sense at this moment.
"Billy Butcher, so you were the mastermind behind it all." Homelander grinned through gritted teeth, pointing a finger at him. "Wow, now everything is clear."
brush!
The next moment, two red lasers shot out from Homelander's eyes and struck Butcher in the chest.
Although they appeared to be intangible, these two lasers carried tremendous force, knocking Butcher to the ground, his fate unknown.
Homelander then turned his attention back to the soldier boy, but he didn't even bother to glance at Hughie.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
The battle resumes. Homelander punches Soldier Boy, and Soldier Boy kicks Homelander.
The two fought back and forth, having a great time. The surrounding trees were like paper; they would peel off if they were brushed against, and break if they were touched.
Wherever it went, the tall, thick trees were either killed or injured, even faster than if they had been felled with a chainsaw.
This demonstrates just how terrifying their attack power truly is.
However, what's even more terrifying is their physical defense capabilities.
A punch that could easily pierce through a century-old tree would leave no mark or discomfort on either of them.
Although it was clear that Homelander seemed to have the upper hand, it wasn't so easy for him to quickly subdue the soldier boy.
"0i—"
'
However, at this moment, something that the people of the motherland never expected suddenly happened.
Butcher, who should have been dead, stood up nonchalantly and made a provocative sound.
Homelander stared wide-eyed, turning his head in disbelief, only to see Butcher's lips curl into a wicked grin.
Immediately, golden light shone in his eyes, and two lasers of the same color shot out, striking Homelander directly in the chest.
The immense force sent Homelander flying, crashing into the trunk of a large tree.
"What the hell?" Homelander exclaimed in shock, quickly standing up.
Butcher's blow didn't actually injure Homelander much, but it greatly shocked him, leaving him momentarily stunned.
"What did you do?" he asked fiercely, approaching Butcher step by step.
"I'll do anything to kill you." Butcher showed no weakness and strode towards Homelander, choosing to confront him head-on.
boom!
Homelander delivered a powerful right hook that slammed into Butcher's face.
boom!
Butcher took the punch head-on and retaliated with the same right hook.
boom!boom!boom!boom!boom!
The two exchanged blows, each stubbornly enduring the opponent's attacks and continuing their assault.
You punch me, I punch you; you kick me, I kick you.
With a ferocious grin on his face, Butcher punched Homelander with all his might.
Once upon a time, he was not even an ant in the eyes of his countrymen.
But now, he can actually hold his own against him!
boom!
After being hit in the face by Butcher's straight punch, Homelander slowly flew up.
However, it didn't fly very high; it just hovered about one meter above the ground.
Immediately, as if they were of one mind, the two activated their laser eyes at the same time!
The golden laser and the red laser collided in mid-air, forming a fist-sized golden-red laser sphere.
As Butcher and Homelander's laser eyes increased their energy output, the small golden-red sphere instantly expanded.
However, during this process, the golden laser also consumed a significant amount of energy in the red laser, causing the size of the golden-red laser sphere to shrink again.
"Ah—" Butcher roared with a ferocious expression, constantly increasing the power of his laser eyes, making the golden light shooting out from his eyes grow thicker and thicker.
Although Homelander didn't shout out loud, he was also gritting his teeth and increasing the output power of his laser eyes.
As the two continued to increase their power, the laser sphere formed by the collision of the gold and red lasers continued to expand and shrink.
It's a long story, but in reality, it's only been a few seconds since they started fighting.
Just then, the experienced soldier boy was not idle. He silently circled behind Homelander, grabbed his Stars and Stripes cape, and swung it around violently.
Boom!
Homelander was instantly pulled down from mid-air and slammed hard to the ground.
But that wasn't all. The soldier boy didn't let go at all. After slamming him hard on the ground, he swung his arm again, grabbed Homelander's cloak, and flung him violently towards a century-old tree next to him.
Boom!
With another loud crash, the thick tree trunk snapped in two, and the soldier boy finally released his grip, letting Homelander be crushed by the falling trunk.
"Fuck!"
A red light appeared in the eyes of the man, and the red laser shot out and cut the thick tree trunk in two, allowing him to stand up.
At that moment, the soldier boy and Butcher's attack came again!
The two men attacked Homelander relentlessly, one slapping him in the face and the other in the stomach.
For a time, the people of the motherland were overwhelmed and unable to defend themselves.
However, his physical abilities were ultimately too strong. He seized an opportunity and suddenly ducked, dodging the punches thrown by the soldier boy and Butcher at the same time.
Then, he punched the soldier boy so hard that he sent him flying.
Immediately afterwards, he grabbed Butcher by the neck with both hands and slammed him against a tall tree stump.
Butcher grinned, his face contorted in a grotesque grimace, and grabbed Homelander by the neck with both hands.
But it's clear that in terms of pure strength and physical fitness, he's still some distance from Homelander.
The man grabbed his neck, making it hard for him to breathe, and his face was contorted with bulging veins, but he couldn't break free.
He grabbed Homelander by the neck, but Homelander seemed to feel nothing and continued to increase the pressure on his neck, as if he wanted to strangle him to death.
At this crucial moment, Hughie suddenly appeared naked and delivered a powerful elbow strike that sent Homelander flying, nearly knocking him to the ground.
Fortunately, after stumbling back a few steps, the man managed to regain his balance.
Standing up straight, Homelander looked at the completely naked Hughie with an expression of utter disbelief.
He never imagined that Hughie, the cowardly and weak man he had always looked down upon, would one day be able to knock him flying.
Without much hesitation, Homelander activated his laser eyes, and two red lasers shot out toward Hughie.
However, Hughie reacted quickly, his figure flashing and disappearing again in an instant.
When it reappeared, it was actually seven or eight meters away.
Homelander was about to walk towards him angrily when, unprepared, the soldier boy behind him launched another surprise attack, grabbing him around the waist and lifting him up!
Then, they slammed him flat onto the ground, pressing down hard on his back with one hand and the back of his head with the other, forcing his face to the ground.
The man roared and tried to get up by pushing himself up with his hands on the ground.
Unexpectedly, Butcher arrived at that moment, abruptly straightened one of his supporting arms, and pressed it to the ground.
At the same time, Hughie, completely naked, reappeared and straightened his other arm, pressing it to the ground in the same manner.
"Go!" Butcher shouted at the boy soldier next to him.
In an instant, the soldier boy began to gather his strength again, and a brilliant light gradually shone from his chest.
"ah-"
Sensing the increasingly intense energy fluctuations behind him, Homelander struggled violently, roaring incessantly.
The roar contained anger, fear, resentment, and disbelief.
He struggled violently, like a trapped shark trying to break free and return to the sea.
Finally, his unwillingness to give up led him to unleash his potential at this most critical moment.
At this moment, for the first time in his life, he unleashed a power far exceeding any he had ever possessed before!
"ah"
He roared suddenly, and with a jolt, sent the three men holding him—the boy soldier, Butcher, and Hughie—flying away.
Then, he soared into the sky and flew away at top speed without looking back.
Seeing this, the soldier boy stopped charging his chest cannon. Butcher and Hughie exchanged a glance, collapsed to the ground, and gasped for breath.
In a secluded room inside a prison.
Li Yuan reclined comfortably in his office chair, looking at the screens on the wall.
Some of these screens showed Homelander, some showed Maeve, and some showed Starlight.
What they have in common is that, to varying degrees, the edges and corners of the Waterhouse can be seen in these images.
That's right, all of these images actually came from cameras at various angles around the Water Tower.
These cameras were, of course, secretly installed by Li Yuan's professional subordinates.
The purpose is to be able to monitor people entering and leaving the Water Tower in real time.
For example, one of the cameras just captured footage of Homelander flying back to Vought Tower at lightning speed.
Although Homelander only appears briefly in the footage, ordinary people may not even see him.
But with Li Yuan's sharp eyesight, he could naturally see the newly appeared bruise on the face of the man who had just passed by.
"Hehe, looks like you've had a bad run of luck. You just got a beating from those soldier boys?" Li Yuan guessed the reason almost instantly.
His gaze shifted to another screen, where he saw the fleeting figures of Soldier Boy, Butcher, and Hughie driving away.
The location where Mindstorm lives is in a forest, making it difficult to install cameras.
This footage was transmitted from a surveillance camera on a main road leading out of the woods.
"It seems the final battle is about to begin," Li Yuan thought to himself with a smile, then turned his gaze to the other two screens.
The image shows Maeve and Starlight, who have both left the Vought Building.
They left before Homelander returned to Vought Tower, so they must have received some information.
"However, there's no rush."
After sending a few messages on his phone, Li Yuan turned his office chair and looked at the screen in another direction.
Among the images on these screens are superhumans who are imprisoned, and researchers in white coats working.
"There should be results soon, right?"
Inside the safe house.
Starlight handed the ordinary Compound No. 5, which he had stolen from the Vought Labs, to the badly injured Kimiko.
Previously, Kimiko lost her superpowers after being hit by the Soldier Boy's chest cannon.
The only way she could think of to regain her superpowers was to inject compound five again.
In order to be able to play a role in the upcoming battle, she sought help from Starlight.
-
Now, only Starlight, Kimiko, French, and Breast Milk remain in this safe house.
After being drugged and rendered unconscious by Butcher and Hughie, breast milk started to rebel against them.
The people surrounding him now are people who want to kill both Homelander and Soldier Boy, but don't want to cause any turmoil.
Meanwhile, Butcher's group was completely engrossed in their actions, willing to stop at nothing and do anything to kill Homelander.
Maeve also joined this group.
The two groups have a major disagreement and are now fighting their own battles.
At this moment, as compound number five was gradually injected into Kimiko's body, all the wounds on her body immediately began to heal, and in the end, not a single scar was left.
It seems that the body's recovery ability is better than before.
Just then, Breast Milk walked over with her phone, looking at the screen as she said, "Butcher and the others went to the Water Tower."
Looking out the window at the night sky, Starlight sighed softly, "Are they planning a surprise attack?"
The breast milk shrugged, the meaning of which was quite clear.
"In that case, let's hurry over there." After confirming that Kimiko was alright, Hoshikawa stood up.
Butcher's group and the Breastfeeding group infiltrated the Water Tower almost one after the other.
Before any conflict could even break out, Homelander, along with Locomotive and Deepsea, stood in their way.
Looking at Maeve and Starlight standing opposite him, Homelander's face was very grim: "Both of you, are you going to betray me?"
At this moment, Maeve's face was filled with hatred, as if she were thinking of the things she had done in the past: "I've been waiting for this day!"
Starlight didn't speak, but took a deep breath and her eyes lit up.
Standing behind him, Deep Sea and Locomotive looked at the opposing lineup, and cold sweat trickled down their faces.
They weren't stupid either. The number of superhumans on the other side was almost twice that of theirs. How could they possibly fight them?
Especially in the deep sea, he was already thinking about how to slip away.
After all, if the Homelander can't win, he can always fly away.
Even if the locomotive can't win, at least it can escape using its speed.
But he can neither fly nor run fast, making him an easy target for cannon fodder.
But the problem is, he can't run now.
If he runs away now, the angry Homelanders will be the first to tear him apart!
"If only we were on the open sea—" Deep Sea couldn't help but curse inwardly at that moment.
Just as tensions were running high and a critical moment was imminent, a minor figure suddenly appeared not far away. "Father?" Ryan was somewhat bewildered as he looked at the large group of people in front of him.
Homelander's expression changed: "Ryan, get out of here right now, hide!"
"I—" Ryan was about to say something when he suddenly heard a voice behind him.
"Ryan, come with me."
Ryan turned around and saw that Li Yuan had appeared there at some point.
"The Godfather, they—"
Ryan wanted to say something, but Li Yuan interrupted him directly: "Ryan, leave adult matters to adults, children shouldn't meddle!"
As Li Yuan spoke, he took his hand, but his gaze turned to Homelander and Maeve: "I won't get involved in your affairs."
"I'm taking him away from here now, no one will have any objections, right?"
"Take Ryan away." Homelander said this to Li Yuan, but his eyes were on Ryan, signaling him to leave quickly.
Both Butcher's group and the Breastfeeding group welcomed Li Yuan and Ryan's departure.
Firstly, they didn't want to have another powerful enemy like Li Yuan; secondly, they genuinely didn't want to hurt a child.
Li Yuan looked around at them, and seeing that no one was stopping them, he took Ryan's arm and led him away, though he was a little worried about Homelander.
At the same time, he didn't forget to make a phone call: "Ashley, evacuate all employees of the Water Tower immediately, right now!"
After saying that, he picked up Ryan, casually broke a glass window, and flew away from the Water Tower.
"Godfather, why are those people attacking Father?" Ryan clearly didn't know what the Homelanders had done, which is why he couldn't understand it at all.
Li Yuan didn't expect to explain it to him in just a few words, so he simply said, "The adult world is so complicated. You're still a child, so naturally you can't understand."
"When you become an adult and have a deeper understanding of the world, you will naturally understand."
.
Hearing this, Ryan still felt confused, but he seemed to accept the explanation and stopped asking the question.
"Is that the boy with the shield the soldier boy? Didn't he die many years ago?" At that moment, Ryan suddenly remembered the only "stranger" among the people he had seen before.
He had met Butcher, Hughie, and Breastfeeding once before.
Although a long time has passed, his memory is excellent and he has not forgotten.
The only person he knew was the one holding the shield. Although he had never seen him in real life, he had seen his picture in a book and knew who he was.
"That's right, that was indeed a soldier boy." This time, Li Yuan answered truthfully.
But then he started telling a pre-prepared myth: "You know what a super terrorist is, right?"
"Although they also have superpowers, they don't help others like superheroes do."
"On the contrary, they wreak havoc everywhere and are hostile to the people."
"This is because they don't worship God, they worship the devil!"
"Their superpowers don't come from God's blessing like ours, but from power obtained from hell and Satan through sacrifice!"
At this point, he looked at Ryan: "You know where my power comes from, right?"
"I know." Ryan nodded. "You moved the Lord with your courage, and therefore He granted you superpowers."
Li Yuan smiled slightly: "That's right, that's exactly it."
"It is precisely because of this unique experience that I am able to gain some insights from time to time."
"Although there's no evidence, I'm quite certain that Soldier Boy was resurrected by Satan's power guided by a super terrorist!"
"Now, he has forgotten his former glory and has become a messenger of hell."
"The reasons why Butcher and his men were looking for your father were quite complicated, and I'm not really sure myself."
"But I can tell you clearly what the soldier boy's purpose is."
"Satan sent him to Earth to corrupt your father, to make your father, the most powerful superhero, also fall into the trap of becoming a messenger of hell, causing calamities throughout the world!"
"This is also a test from the Lord for your father. Do you have faith in him?"
"Yes!" Ryan nodded vigorously, but his expression didn't seem that firm.
Li Yuan seemed oblivious to the strange expression on his face and continued, "In that case, don't distract your father. Stay here obediently with me and don't let the super terrorists use you as a hostage to threaten him."
As soon as he finished speaking, he landed on the rooftop of a skyscraper.
Leading Ryan into one of the luxury apartments, Li Yuan turned on the large TV on the wall: "Previously, in order to prevent any emergencies in the Water Building, I had someone connect some of the surveillance cameras in the public areas to my location."
"Although we may not be able to see their entire battle, we can at least get a general understanding of it."
After turning on the TV, Li Yuan adjusted it with the remote for a while, and dozens of palm-sized images appeared on the screen.
I just pulled it up, and in one of the surveillance shots, Homelander flashed by and slammed hard against the wall.
Boom!
The wall was smashed through in an instant, and the Homelander's figure disappeared once again.
"Where did it go?!" Ryan's eyes darted around, trying to find any images of Homelander.
Even though his gaze swept across all the surveillance footage, he still couldn't find Homelander, but he did see people like Breast Milk and Starlight.
Li Yuan sighed and shrugged: "It's very likely that the area is not covered by the surveillance cameras here."
"Is Father alright? —" Ryan's face immediately showed a look of anxiety.
Before Li Yuan could comfort him, Homelander reappeared in one of the scenes, his eyes radiating blinding red lasers.
But then, a fist suddenly struck his face, deflecting his laser eye.
The next moment, Homelander was punched by someone and disappeared from the surveillance footage again.
Ryan anxiously shifted his gaze rapidly, his eyes even glowing red.
"Ryan, calm down! Think about what you learned in class, think about the methods I taught you, and control your emotions!" Li Yuan shouted immediately when he saw this.
"This is a test from your father; you must trust in him!"
Upon hearing Li Yuan's reminder, Ryan was slightly taken aback, then immediately adjusted his breathing, and the red light in his eyes gradually faded.
"I'm sorry, Godfather." After calming down, he looked apologetic.
"It's okay, you're father and son, it's perfectly normal for you to care about him." Li Yuan reached out and patted his head. "But you must remember, no matter what, never let yourself lose control."
"Yes." Ryan nodded, continuing to focus intently on the surveillance footage on the television screen.
Every now and then, the image of a Chinese person will flash in one of the scenes.
However, this also means that the battlefield has entered the corresponding monitoring area.
In a battle involving superhuman beings of this caliber, cameras are far too ineffective against them.
As time went on, one surveillance video after another went black, clearly indicating that the cameras had been damaged by the aftermath of the battle.
Finally, after the last surveillance footage went black, Ryan's emotions became volatile again.
This time, without Li Yuan's prompting, Ryan quickly regained control of himself and did not cause any damage to the surroundings.
He closed his eyes and took deep breaths for a while before opening them again to look at Li Yuan, as if he had made a decision in his heart.
"Godfather, could you—could you please help my father?" He pleaded, his voice choked with emotion.
Upon hearing this, Li Yuan's expression turned serious.
He stared at Ryan with an air of authority, his gaze softening after a long while, and he sighed gently: "Ryan, I told you, this is your father's trial."
"He is now facing the temptation of hellish demons."
"If he can hold fast to his beliefs, he can reach even greater heights."
"If he can't hold on, he'll be possessed by the power of Satan and become a messenger of hell."
"I can tell you the truth, in my opinion, the balance of the battle is now very precarious."
"If I intervene, unexpected things could very well happen."
"This kind of accident might benefit your father, but it could also harm him."
"In the worst-case scenario, he might be completely corrupted by the power of Satan, utterly degenerate into a messenger of hell, and commit irreversible and wanton killings."
At this point, he looked into Ryan's eyes and asked, "Are you sure you still want me to go?"
Ryan bit his lip and after a long while slowly said, "Godfather, please save him."
Li Yuan sighed deeply and stood up: "Alright, since it's your request, I'll make an exception this time."
"But Ryan, I hope you can promise that you will accept whatever the outcome."
"Whether your father passes this trial or not in the end, you have done your best."
""
"I want you to promise me that you will never blame yourself."
"And you are absolutely not allowed to go out after I leave!"
Upon hearing Li Yuan's request, Ryan clenched his fists, hesitated for a while, then took a deep breath, his eyes hardening: "Godfather, I promise, whatever the final outcome, I will accept it."
"I promise that no matter what, I will not blame myself for this, and I will never blame you."
"I promise, I will never leave after you do!"
Listening to Ryan's assurance, Li Yuan stared at him for a moment before slowly nodding: "Remember your promise."
The next moment, he flew out of the open window and disappeared into the horizon.
Not long after, they returned to the Water Tower.
"This is really lively," he remarked to himself as he casually glanced around the building.
At this moment, the interior of the Water Tower looked as if it had been trampled by ten thousand elephants.
Damaged walls, broken water pipes, sparking electrical wires, collapsed floorboards, exposed rebar —
The battle between Homelander and Soldier Boy and others is still raging.
The reason they were able to hold out for so long despite having fewer people is because Homelander had previously fought with Soldier Boys.
It was during that battle that he witnessed the superpowers of Soldier Boy, Butcher, and Hughie.
In addition, he was also very familiar with Maeve and Starlight's superpowers, so he maintained his mobility and kept moving at high speed to avoid being caught.
This tactic made it difficult for the boy soldiers who could truly threaten him to unleash the terrifying power of the chest cannon.
With the occasional assistance from Deep Sea and Locomotive, they have managed to persevere until now.
Similarly, because they were constantly taking turns dealing with Homelander, Soldier Boy, Butcher, Hughie, Maeve,
Neither Starlight nor Kimiko were killed by Homelander.
There is no doubt that they caused more damage to the Water Tower than to each other.
boom!
A wall not far from Li Yuan was smashed through, and the soldier boy flew out at high speed and crashed into another wall.
Seeing this, Li Yuan walked over unhurriedly.
Just as he reached the soldier boy, Homelander emerged from the large hole in the wall and saw Li Yuan. He was visibly startled: "What are you doing here? Where's Ryan?"
"I've already taken Ryan to a safe place. He asked me to come and rescue you," Li Yuan said, grabbing the soldier boy by the neck and pulling him up as he tried to get up.
"Hmph! I don't need you to save me, okay? I—" Before Homelander could finish his boast, Li Yuan released his grip on the soldier boy's neck.
"Oh, since you don't need it, then I won't bother you any longer." Li Yuan said, then quickly retreated and disappeared again in the blink of an eye.
Now, the people of the motherland were dumbfounded. They stared blankly in the direction where Li Yuan had disappeared, reaching out their hands as if trying to stop him.
But before he could even speak, the soldier boy, who had already recovered, punched him back.
After punching Homelander first, the soldier boy also glanced in the direction Li Yuan had left, his face full of confusion.
When Li Yuan pulled him up, he thought to himself that things were going badly and wanted to break free immediately.
Before he could even make a move, Li Yuan released him and disappeared in a flash.
"What are they doing?" The soldier boy was puzzled, but he didn't pay attention for long.
After shaking himself and finding that he wasn't seriously injured, he started fighting with Homelander again.
Meanwhile, Butcher and Maeve also arrived and joined the battle.
With a roar, the man from the motherland began his high-speed dash again, trying to avoid being caught and held down.
In an office on a floor far from the battlefield.
Li Yuan sat on the sofa, quietly sensing the changes within his body.
He hadn't just appeared before the Homelanders and picked up the soldier boy from the ground just to tease them.
In that brief moment, Li Yuan absorbed the superpower that could make superpowers disappear from the soldier boy.
The essence of this superpower is a kind of radiation, which was originally combined with the Soldier Boy's chest cannon.
But just now, Li Yuan didn't use his chest cannon ability; instead, he simply absorbed this radiation superpower into his body.
That's right, in fact, Li Yuan can absorb other people's superpowers!
He had actually discovered this situation a long time ago.
He couldn't explain why he had this ability. It could be due to Compound V, or it could be due to the ability from other worlds being shared with his body in this world, or it could be a combination of both.
In short, after discovering this situation, in order to avoid any unknown risks, he did not directly and randomly absorb the superpowers of other superhumans.
The first real practice was not even accomplished by him in the Black Robe world, but by him in the Godzilla world!
The first ability he absorbed was actually MUTO's electromagnetic pulse!
This ability was naturally shared with him in the world of the black robe.
After that, he carefully observed for a long time, and only after confirming that this ability did not bring him any obvious harm did he begin the experiment again.
The first experimental target of the Black Robe World was a superhuman with fire superpowers.
After absorbing his superpower, Li Yuan's own fire superpower became slightly stronger, but not by much.
However, at the same time, he accurately noticed some changes in his body.
The feeling was as if the body had become slightly "heavier".
I didn't feel this when I was absorbing the MUTO electromagnetic pulse energy.
The reason for this may be due to differences in the world, or some other reason, which is not yet clear.
After conducting several more experiments with controlled variables, he finally figured out the mechanism behind his absorption ability.
First, he must touch the other party to absorb it.
During the absorption process, he can "see" the other party's abilities through a strange perspective.
Once fully absorbed, the corresponding ability of the other party will disappear.
However, if only a portion is absorbed, the opponent's ability will only weaken.
The absorbed superpowers of the same type will be combined to enhance the power of the original superpower.
Absorbing different types of superpowers results in the acquisition of new superpowers.
However, each absorption will put a certain burden on the body.
In other words, Li Yuan's current physical condition is far superior to that of ordinary people, which allows him to absorb more nutrients, but there are still limits.
Therefore, even after understanding the mechanism, he still did not absorb other people's abilities indiscriminately.
He was waiting, waiting for an extremely crucial ability!
That's right, it's the ability he just absorbed from the soldier boy—the ability to eliminate other people's superpowers!
If his calculations are correct—
Li Yuan carefully sensed the condition of his body and tried to use this elimination superpower to eliminate another superpower in his body that wasn't very useful.
Feeling a sudden sense of relief in his body, he immediately perked up: "I did it!"
This means that his previous assumptions were correct!
With the superpower of "elimination", he can reduce his own burden in the future and no longer need to worry about absorbing too much power and causing his body to be overburdened!
"Very good, now we can take off!"
He stood up from the sofa, and in a flash, he disappeared from the office.
In no time at all, he had arrived behind his target!
With a single chop, Xingguang, who was perfectly aligned with Xingguang, lost consciousness and collapsed.
The next moment, Li Yuan directly absorbed her superpower.
From this moment on, Starlight was no longer a superhuman, but just an ordinary person.
After quickly sensing it, Li Yuan smiled to himself, "Just as I thought—"
The superpower of starlight is simply to "absorb electrical energy and convert it into light energy for release".
But in reality, her abilities go far beyond that.
She didn't realize that the ratio of the electrical energy she absorbed to the light energy she released was not actually equal.
In fact, some of the electrical energy she absorbed has been used to enhance her body.
This portion of electrical energy doesn't account for a large proportion, but it accumulates little by little, starting after she discovered her superpower.
Over the years, her body has been passively strengthened to a very powerful degree.
Not to mention pistols, even anti-materiel sniper rifles couldn't penetrate her skin.
Previously, when Xuan Se attacked her, although she was knocked unconscious for a short while, she was completely unharmed.
Even Newman, after spending so much time forcibly controlling her blood flow, only managed to make her bleed a tiny bit from the nose.
The intensity of her body only decreases when she wants it to, and this process is even subconscious, without needing to be consciously controlled.
"Good, next—"
Soon, Li Yuan found his next target, Hughie.
Although Hughie can teleport, he has to consciously activate his superpowers.
However, his combat experience was really not that great.
Li Yuan launched a surprise attack from his blind spot, and he was completely unaware, immediately losing consciousness.
Then, Li Yuan casually absorbed his teleportation superpower from him.
Although this was a temporary superpower catalyzed by Number Five and would disappear after 24 hours, it became Li Yuan's permanent ability after he absorbed it.
This conclusion was drawn from his previous experiment, where he precisely timed the absorption of the superpowers injected into the temporary No. 5 super soldier.
Because Homelander is constantly moving around, not all superhumans can immediately keep up with him and find his location.
Therefore, it was impossible for all those who were besieging him to be completely united.
This situation naturally made things easier for Li Yuan.
He selected lone superhumans and absorbed their superpowers one by one.
Of course, all the surveillance cameras along the way were out of service and couldn't possibly have captured his image.
In the end, when Li Yuan found Homelander again, only Soldier Boy was still fighting him.
"Next, it's your turn!" Li Yuan smiled to himself as he looked at the battlefield before him.
