Chapter 86: The Superhuman Virus, the Touched Homelander
Vought Tower, 99th floor.
Homelander held Gunpowder down with both hands, his muscles tensed, and a faint smile appeared on his face.
With Quinn's help, they would no longer be as passive when facing these Original Superhumans as they had been before.
He had seen Quinn at Harmony Fort before; back then, he was just a vegetable stuck to the wall, barely surviving by relying on plants.
But now, after injecting compound vi, he was not only able to walk but could even manipulate plants, and his combat power was far greater than before.
Besides Quinn, there was one other person who had also injected compound vi. That was Grace.
Thinking of this, Homelander turned his head to look not far away at the heroic woman who was holding Torpedo, who looked like a dead dog, with one hand.
Her white shirt had become disheveled, and her short hair had long since become messy during the battle.
But the coldness in her eyes made Homelander feel a jolt of shock in his heart.
In the battle just now, Grace had not only displayed abilities like Flight, Super Durability, and Super Strength, but it also seemed she could charge up, accumulate power, and unleash a supreme punch.
And it was that very punch that had directly severely wounded Torpedo and defeated this Original Superhuman.
This was already quite shocking.
You have to know, before injecting compound vi, Grace was merely a Superhuman who could speed up her thinking process.
Her combat ability was almost zero, yet who would have thought that after injecting compound vi, she would become so powerful.
Seeing the changes in these two Superhumans, Quinn and Grace, Homelander became increasingly curious about compound vi.
"Perhaps I can ask Great-Grandpa later to have Dr.Vogelbaum inject me with compound vi," Homelanderpondered.
Yes, you read that right. He believed the nonsense Ian had spouted earlier, thinking it was highly likely that Ian was Soldier Boy's grandfather, and the truth was that Soldier Boy was his father.
With so much evidence on the scene, it was hard not to believe it. In any case, Ian being his great-grandfather didn't hinder Homelander's desire to be loved and recognized.
Seeing The Seven and Grace's team subdue Superhumans like Torpedo and Gunpowder, Ian nodded in satisfaction.
This feeling of not having to do anything himself and just sending his subordinates to solve the problem was truly great.
Homelander looked at Ian, who was holding the two women, Clara and Private Angel, and after thinking for a moment, he spoke: "Uh... Great-Grandpa, now that we've caught these guys, what should we do next?"
"Each one of them possesses powerful strength that ordinary Superhumans can hardly reach, especially those two guys, Gunpowder and Torpedo."
Ian came back to his senses, holding Clara and Private Angel one in each hand, and his figure slowly rose into the air.
"Gunpowder, when you were locked up by me before, I remember I didn't treat you poorly, right?"
"Although I said I would have four black men f*ck you in front of Little Headliner, after you told me the location of original compound v, I did spare you."
He set his gaze on the suppressed Gunpowder, and with his world-shaking wisdom turning in his mind, a little clever idea popped up.
"But I never expected that you would betray us afterward; this is truly heartbreaking."
"So... Homelander, lock this guy up later, find Dr.Vogelbaum to inject him with an excessive amount of veterinary estrogen, and then find four black men to f*ck him in front of Little Headliner!"
Generally speaking, if veterinary estrogen is injected into a man, it will cause the man's reproductive organs to atrophy, and then large amounts of female hormones will be secreted.
In this way, it would lead to the birth of a feminized male.
And although Superhumans have much stronger body resistance than ordinary humans, after injecting an excessive amount of veterinary estrogen, subtle chemical reactions will also occur.
"Sh*t! You damn pervert!!"
Gunpowder never expected that he would be caught again and have to face that damn nightmare.
"Curse all you want, anyway, you and Little Headlinerdefinitely won't be able to be a couple anymore; you two might as well be sisters," Ian laughed.
Torpedo and the other Superhumans nearby were stunned after hearing such a sickening punishment.
Gunpowder was going to face such a disgusting punishment, and they, like Gunpowder, had been caught by Vought; what would they have to face next?
As Ian issued one order after another, The Seven began to act quickly.
Injecting Gunpowder with an excessive amount of female hormones and sending him to Little Headliner's cell to have four black men f*ck him.
Homelander arrived at the CEO office, where Private Angel and Clara were both tied up tightly, restrained beside Ian.
At this moment, they seemed to be cursing Ian, but Ianremained unmoved, just planning something to himself.
Perhaps after he finished planning, he could just handle these two women.
Homelander walked quickly to Ian's desk and asked with an excited expression: "Great-Grandpa, what should we do next? How about letting me inject compound vi, and then I can rule the entire America in one fell swoop, helping you create an era of universal Superhumans?"
Hearing Homelander's words, Ian frowned slightly.
If he remembered correctly, over at Godolkin University, there seemed to be a Superhuman virus that Neuman had people develop.
The Superhuman virus seemed to combine with the compound v in the Superhuman's blood, thereby attacking the modified cells and killing the Superhuman.
In the show The Boys, Superhumans who had injected original compound v would not fear the Superhuman virus.
Besides possessing the X-Gene he had manifested, Ianalso possessed Energy Absorption, which was derived from the combination of compound v and Temp V.
Not only that, he also possessed four times the body resistance; with so many buffs stacked together, he should be able to block the Superhuman virus, right?
Ian pondered in his heart; perhaps he should also inject compound vi, and if he could get an anti-toxin ability, that would be even better.
This thing was originally meant to deal with Homelander, but Grace had just told him that the Superhuman virus seemed to have already been taken by Soldier Boy and the others.
If a Superhuman like Homelander were to face the Superhuman virus, it was very likely he would be infected and then die directly.
This was not what Ian wanted; these subordinates still had their uses for him, and it would be a pity if they died.
"Wait for a while," Ian said. "I received news that Soldier Boy and his group very likely have the Superhuman virus targeting Superhumans."
"You take The Seven to Dr. Vogelbaum first to inject compound vi, and then send others to test Soldier Boy and his group."
While the two were talking, A-Train, The Deep, Starlight, and Queen Maeve also walked in one after another.
Ian glanced at them and continued: "Homelander, I have another plan later that requires your help to implement, so you cannot have anything happen to you, understand?"
Hearing this, the love-starved Homelander was instantly moved to the point that his eyes reddened.
Since he was a child, no one had ever cared about him, and the care he received from Ian made Homelander feel extremely touched.
"Understood, Great-Grandpa." Homelander nodded heavily.
"Then do you need me to take them to the White Houselater to control those politicians?"
"No need." Ian waved his hand. "I've already handled the matter at the White House."
Everyone present:???
You've already handled it just like that?
Chapter 87: Quadruple Stamina * * Clara
When hearing from Ian that the situation at the White House had already been resolved, Homelander was momentarily stunned, caught off guard.
Not only him, but the other members of The Seven beside him were also left bewildered.
The White House had the tightest security measures in all of America; how did the other party manage to get to the White House silently and eliminate those politicians?
Sensing the astonishment of the crowd, Ian nodded slightly and said with a calm and indifferent expression, "There's no need to make a fuss. My strength is even greater than you imagine. Although the White House is heavily guarded, they are just a group of ordinary troops armed with firearms."
"I can deal with them with a casual wave of my hand and send those damn politicians to meet God while I'm at it."
As his voice fell, there was a bit more admiration in Homelander's eyes as he looked at Ian.
And the faces of Starlight, Maeve, and Grace flushed with a hint of redness.
He was worthy of being their man; he was truly different from others—strong enough, intense enough, and domineering enough!
"Just follow my plan now, inject yourselves with compound vi, and adapt to the powerful abilities you will soon acquire."
Ian took a deep breath, then turned his head to look at Clara and Private Angel beside him, the corners of his mouth lifting into a smile.
"As for what happens next, I'll decide after I deal with these two women."
"Fuck! If you want to kill me, just do it. What do you mean by looking at me with that kind of gaze?"
Remember our 101kanshu.com
Feeling Ian's highly aggressive gaze roaming over her body, Clara felt goosebumps rise all over her, and she couldn't help but curse angrily.
"Ian, don't think that just because you have some dirt on me, you can do whatever you want!"
"What do you think? Clara." Ian chuckled.
This made Ian curious about which of these two women could recover better.
And thinking of this, he couldn't wait...
However. Whoosh!! Just at this moment, a violent whistling sound came from the distant horizon.
Homelander hurriedly looked up; his eyes instantly pierced through the ceiling, seeing missiles like meteors flying towards this place.
His expression instantly turned gloomy.
"Damn it, why are missiles flying towards us? Could it be that the CIA and the Military have discovered that Soldier Boy failed?"
"Homelander, you, Quinn, and Grace just need to deal with these missiles. Everyone else go to Dr. Vogelbaum's place."
Ian extended his right hand, pinched Clara's fair chin, and said unhurriedly.
With the strength of his subordinates—Homelander, Quinn, and Grace—even if the Military launched missiles, they couldn't pose any threat at all.
And after sending out his subordinates, he could naturally continue doing what he wanted to do just now.
"Yes, Mr. Ian!!"
As Ian's order was given, the people in front of him nodded in response and then immediately retreated.
Homelander, along with Grace and Quinn, left the top floor and flew outside Vought Tower.
The three of them looked up at the missiles tearing through the air like meteors, whistling towards them, their faces expressionless.
Sizzle!! Homelander's eyes suddenly turned red, and the crimson beams released slammed fiercely into a missile; the terrifying temperature instantly melted the missile, causing it to explode.
But on the side, Quinn extended his right hand, and huge green vines climbed up the exterior wall of Vought Tower, like snakes, smashing fiercely into the dense swarm of missiles.
Rumble!! A series of explosions rang out one after another.
Accompanied by these explosions, Grace raised her right hand, palm straightened, and with a super-model hand blade, instantly slashed at the missiles one by one.
In an instant, smoke and dust rose, and fire lit up the sky.
Many people outside saw this scene and couldn't help but look up, shocked.
"It's Homelander!! They are fighting against the surprise missile attack!!"
"Who are the other two people? Are they new superheroes from Vought International?"
With his super hearing, he heard the discussions of the crowd below clearly. Homelander turned his head to look at Quinn and Grace.
"Everyone, Dr. Vogelbaum is still waiting for me. I need to hurry and inject compound vi, otherwise Grandpa might be unhappy."
He focused his gaze on Quinn, recalling the words Soldier Boy had said when confronting Quinn, and couldn't help but say, "Uh... Uncle Quinn, it's good to see you again. I apologize for the actions of that bastard, my father."
"You know, I grew up without parents since I was a child, raised in a laboratory, and it's hard for me to understand his behavior."
Quinn stepped forward, patted Homelander on the shoulder, and said in a low voice, "Child, I can understand you. Now, under the leadership of the Emperor, we will usher in a new era!!"
Homelander nodded heavily: "That's right, a new era!!"
After that, he flew downwards.
Meanwhile, in Ian's office.
"Ian, don't be arrogant too soon. Benn and Hughie will definitely be able to save us."
Private Angel was still wearing that white dress, with a hemp rope wrapped under her armpits, tightly constricting her chest.
This feeling of her body being constricted made Private Angel somewhat uncomfortable.
She endured this discomfort, raised her head, looked at the man in front of her with her azure eyes, and threatened.
"The U.S. government will absolutely not allow you powerful Superhumans to exist and disrupt the order of all of America."
"So, if you are sensible, you should let us go. At least I can help you plead for mercy with the White House."
Ever since she discovered that her seduction didn't work, Private Angel had given up. She might as well threaten Ian; what if he took the bait of her threat?
"Plead for mercy with the U.S. government? Are you stupid? The entire upper echelon of the U.S. government has already been wiped out by me."
Ian looked at Private Angel in front of him with an expression of looking at an idiot and couldn't help but shrug.
"Moreover, no matter what methods you two use, you definitely won't be able to escape my grasp today, so I advise you to give up and just surrender obediently."
Beside her, Clara kept her head lowered, pondering what Ian had just said.
If what the other party said was true, then the entire America would very likely be controlled by him, and by that time, the World would also belong to Superhumans.
If she hadn't betrayed Ian, perhaps she could have created an Aryan Superhuman legion and dominated the Worldtogether with Ian.
But now...
She could only tremble and say, "Ian, can we reconcile? I'll give you anything. I'll never betray you again. Believe me, okay?"
"Reconcile? Right now?" Ian sneered, "Clara, are you joking?"
He had given Clara several chances, but she had betrayed him time and again, challenging his bottom line.
And now, Ian decided not to hold back anymore and give Clara a good lesson!
Thinking of this, Ian immediately stood up, walked in front of Clara, exerted force with his large hand, and directly pressed Clara against the wall.
"Ugh!!" Clara cried out in pain.
"OMG!!"
"Damn bitch! Accept the punishment I'm giving you properly!!"
Facing the boost of Ian's quadruple stamina, quadruple strength, and quadruple speed, could Clara still survive?
Chapter 88: You Really Created Cthulhu The Deep and Shining Starlight for Me?
"No!!"
Clara let out one final, mournful cry.
"Squelch!!"
Terrifying energy poured out fiercely, rampaging through her body and tearing her apart directly.
Clara fell, her eyes wide with shock in death. Even at the moment of her death, she couldn't believe that after dominating for over a hundred years, she would end up dying under Ian's...
After seeing such a terrifying way to die, Private Angel's small face turned deathly pale in an instant, and her whole body trembled like a frightened rabbit.
Ian looked at Private Angel and said in a low voice, "You know what to do next, right?"
Private Angel nodded repeatedly, terrified that Ian might lay a hand on her.
After all.
She and Clara were both first-generation Superhumans, and their defensive capabilities weren't much different.
The only difference was the ability to self-heal and heal others.
But if even Clara had been killed by this man, how could she, Private Angel, hope to escape the same fate?
"Very well, you move yourself. While you're at it, help me solve the Goldbach conjecture."
Ian continued.
"It's not that I absolutely must have this conjecture solved, but rather that I want to see you sweating anxiously while being forced to move yourself."
Private Angel: "..."
Is that even something a human being would say?
A few hours later.
Private Angel collapsed limply onto the office desk, her white dress soaked with sweat and clinging to her skin.
"Huff... huff!!"
Her chest heaved violently, and her large, snowy-white mounds trembled with every breath.
They were just like the jelly she ate as a child—snow-white, bright, and wobbly.
Ian put on his clothes, then grabbed one of Grace's garments and handed it to Private Angel, who was lying on the office desk.
"Change into this. Even though you are a first-generation Superhuman, you are still our prisoner."
"But as long as you don't obstruct our plans, I can still show you mercy."
After changing, Private Angel was led by Ian into the elevator, and together they arrived at the B3 underground laboratory.
Here, The Seven had just finished injecting compound viand were currently undergoing ability testing.
When Dr. Vought-Baum saw Ian come down, he quickly handed his tablet to an assistant and hurried over.
"Mr. Ian, good news!"
He said with an excited expression.
"After Homelander injected compound vi, his Flight speed increased by at least 20%, and his physical attributes in every aspect are far superior to before."
"If... the previous Homelander was an un-tuned supercar..."
"Then now, after injecting compound vi, he is a monster with all limiters removed!"
Dr. Vought-Baum said this while leading Ian toward the observation area deep in the laboratory.
His pace was much faster than before, and his clouded eyes were filled with an excitement rarely seen in the past.
It was as if a devout believer had finally witnessed a miracle.
Previously, Dr. Vought-Baum had thought that Homelander would be the pinnacle of his scientific research.
But he never expected that Mr. Ian would give him the opportunity to surpass that.
compound vi, along with gene editing—these were projects capable of turning a person into a god!
In other words, he, Vought-Baum, could cultivate a god!
"Homelander's physiological changes after injecting compound vi are the most significant."
"His muscle fiber density has increased by 7 percentage points, and his bone strength has improved by nearly 10 percentage points."
"However, the maximum temperature of his Heat Visionhas not yet reached its limit."
Dr. Vought-Baum said quickly, afraid of omitting anything.
"Our temperature measurement equipment had its sensor burned through by a single beam from him; we need to replace it with new equipment to continue testing."
"Not only that, but his cellular activity is far beyond what it was before, and his bio-field is sufficient to cover the entire Vought Tower."
"This also indicates one thing: his lifespan has very likely been significantly extended!"
"Mr. Ian, it is very possible that we can create the Superman from the comics!"
The more he spoke, the more excited Dr. Vought-Baum's expression became.
After all.
The improvements Homelander gained from injecting compound vi were simply too great.
So great that Dr. Vought-Baum thought he had truly created a god!
"What about the others?"
Ian nodded, very satisfied with Homelander's performance after the compound vi injection.
"After Maeve injected compound vi, her physical attributes increased by 8%, her lifespan was extended, and she gained the ability to reinforce metal weapons."
"As for The Deep, his abilities have not yet been tested."
"However, after injecting compound vi, The Deep said he saw some kind of giant octopus monster hidden on the seabed."
"Octopus monster?" Ian raised an eyebrow. "Does he know what it's called?"
"It seems to be called something like Cthulhu..." Dr.Vought-Baum frowned tightly, thinking for a moment before saying.
Ian:???
No, what did you say?
Cthulhu?
Is that thing appropriate for The Boys Universe?
"Mr. Ian, what's wrong?"
"Ahem, nothing. What about the others?" Ian coughed, pretending to be nonchalant.
He decided that later he would banish The Deep to the seaside; he wouldn't be allowed to return until he dealt with that Cthulhu.
Heaven knows why The Deep was able to connect with such an Evil God after injecting compound vi.
Could it be because of Cthulhu's... The Call of Cthulhu?
"A-Train's speed increase isn't particularly significant; the main improvements are in his lung capacity and cardiac output."
"But he has gained a new ability: Super Friction."
"As the name suggests, this ability allows him to generate immense molecular-level adhesion on his soles against any surface."
Dr. Vought-Baum continued to explain.
"Whether it's ice, oil, or completely smooth vertical glass curtain walls, he can maintain top speed on them just like running on flat ground."
"Combined with his speed, this ability can upgrade him from a ground combat unit to a three-dimensional combat unit."
Hearing this, Ian couldn't help but picture A-Train running all over buildings or on ceilings.
This scene... if combined with the Superhuman virus, A-Train might actually become a powerful combat asset.
"Starlight's improvement is the most unexpected of everyone."
When speaking about the improvements Starlight gained after injecting compound vi, Dr. Vought-Baum's voice gradually began to tremble with excitement.
"Her original ability was to absorb external electrical energy, convert it into light energy, and release it in the form of pulses."
"But after injecting compound vi, she can now absorb almost any form of electromagnetic radiation, including visible light, infrared, ultraviolet, and even certain bands of gamma rays."
"This means... as long as there is light in the environment, whether it's sunlight, lamp light, or the flash from an explosion, she can constantly replenish her energy."
"And... her theoretical energy limit has increased to near infinity."
Ian:???
You really created Shining Starlight for me?
Chapter 89: Injecting compound vi, Energy AbsorptionEvolution!
After injecting compound vi, every member of The Sevenhad gained significant improvements.
For instance, Homelander's abilities were enhanced in all aspects, and he also gained super Heat Vision. Mei could strengthen the weapon in her hand, cutting through anything.
Of course.
Ian had not expected that The Deep and Starlight would evolve into Cthulhu Deep and Radiant Starlight.
However, it had to be said that the effect of compound viwas still quite impressive.
It could actually bring such a huge enhancement to The Seven.
This also made Ian somewhat curious. What kind of enhancement would he get if he injected compound vihimself?
"Mr. Ian, do you need me to call Homelander and the others over?"
Outside the testing area, Dr. Vogelbaum stood beside Ian, looking into the testing area where members of The Sevenwere undergoing capability and data tests.
"No need, Dr. Vogelbaum. Since the effect of compound viis so good, I have to try it too."
Ian smiled, an expectant expression appearing on his face.
"Come to think of it, I'm looking forward to seeing what kind of transformation injecting this compound vi will bring to my body."
"In that case, Mr. Ian, please follow me."
Dr. Vogelbaum said, and led Ian into the injection room.
The four sides of the injection room were pristine and Wu Chen, with fluorescent lights embedded in the ceiling emitting a cold white light that illuminated the entire room.
Remember us at 101kanshu.com
In the exact center stood an injection bed, and beside the bed were rows of cabinets.
Placed on them were syringe after syringe, filled with dim blue liquid inside, crystal clear and brimming with a sense of mystery.
"Lie down, Mr. Ian."
Ian nodded, and following Dr. Vogelbaum's guidance, he lay down on the injection bed.
"Although the mortality rate of compound vi is very high for ordinary people, when facing a Superhuman, the mortality rate is greatly reduced."
Dr. Vogelbaum picked up a syringe, began drawing the liquid into it, and continued speaking.
"However, after injecting compound vi, a Superhuman's body will still experience some rejection reactions."
"After all, the genes are altered by compound vi, so the body cannot adapt to it all at once."
"At this time, one needs extremely strong willpower to suppress and overcome the body's rejection reactions; otherwise, success is very difficult."
Ian nodded. Willpower... this was the thing he valued most.
A person can lack strength, and can lack talent, but cannot lack a will that never gives up even in the face of despair.
Just like the web novel protagonists Ian had read about in his past life, each one in miserable situations, yet relying on an indomitable will to defy fate and rise above.
"Let's begin, Vogelbaum. I am ready."
Ian said.
Dr. Vogelbaum nodded.
Then he asked Ian to scorch his arm with Heat Vision, and immediately after, he directly injected compound vi using a syringe.
As soon as the dim blue liquid entered Ian's body, he felt his cells gradually begin to become restless.
It was as if something was awakening inside his body, followed by a piercing pain like needles pricking him.
At first, it was a faint stinging sensation, and then, as if every cell in his body had been invigorated by compound vi, intense pain surged up like a tidal wave.
This pain felt as though someone had individually stripped away every single cell of his, soaking them in boiling magma, leaving not a single shred of breathing room.
"Urgh!!!"
Such intense pain caught Ian somewhat off guard.
His hands subconsciously clutched the metal armrests on both sides of the injection bed, and his immense strength directly deformed the alloy.
As time passed, the process of compound vi modifying his genes was slowly coming to an end.
Ian was drenched in cold sweat all over, and bead-sized sweat drops crazily seeped out from his forehead and temples, dripping onto the ground under the action of gravity.
After being modified by compound vi, his entire body was soaked in sweat, and he looked just like he had been caught in a heavy downpour.
Dr. Vogelbaum beside him kept his gaze fixed tightly on the monitor screen of the detector, wanting to find out what kind of changes Ian's cells had undergone after injecting compound vi.
But after a moment, his brows knitted tightly together, and the expression on his face gradually grew solemn.
"Mr. Ian, after injecting compound vi, your cells have become active, but their strength does not seem to have improved."
"This is a bit unscientific... Homelander's cells gained significant improvements after injecting compound vipreviously."
"Even his overall physical fitness far surpassed before, and his Heat Vision evolved into super Heat Vision."
"But now... after you injected compound vi, your bodily functions do not seem to have improved, and your cell strength..."
""
"Pardon my frankness, the increase in cell strength is also extremely weak, only about 1% or so."
Upon seeing this data, Dr. Vogelbaum couldn't help scratching the back of his head, his face full of puzzlement and confusion.
"How strange, why is this happening?"
Clearly, every member of The Seven got significant improvements after injecting compound vi.
Some people even had their cell strength directly increased by dozens of percentage points.
But why didn't Mr. Ian experience any significant improvement after injecting compound vi?
Could it be because Mr. Ian's own abilities were already powerful enough?
Or was it because the dosage just injected was simply too small, failing to cause enough changes in Mr. Ian's body?
Watching Ian gradually recover from his weak state, Dr.Vogelbaum hurriedly walked forward and spoke: "Mr. Ian, do you need me to continue injecting compound vi for you?"
"Because I see that your improvement seems... seems to be close to nothing."
He hesitated for a moment, and ultimately still told Ianabout this matter.
After all.
Even if he concealed this matter, the other party would still be able to detect anomalies through changes in his own body.
It was better to just say it directly and let Mr. Ian make his own judgment.
"No improvement?"
Feeling a full and warm sensation coming from all over his body, Ian couldn't help raising an eyebrow.
"How is that possible, Dr. Vogelbaum? I feel great."
"My whole body is filled with strength, and there is a continuous stream of energy pouring into my body from the outside world."
"What?!"
Dr. Vogelbaum's heart suddenly skipped a beat. He hurried to the side of the console and his fingers tapped rapidly on the keyboard.
Soon, the energy detection status around Ian appeared on the screen.
Looking at the data displayed on the screen, Dr.Vogelbaum's expression instantly turned horrified.
"This... How is this possible?!"
Ian stood up and clenched his right hand slightly with force, causing a sonic boom to ring out.
Hearing Vogelbaum's horrified voice, he frowned and asked, "What's the situation, Dr. Vogelbaum?"
"Mr. Ian, your body... It's as if it has a consciousness of its own, actively absorbing the ubiquitous energy around you!"
"
Chapter 90: Your hits can't outpace my recovery!
"My body is involuntarily absorbing the surrounding energy?"
This made Ian pause for a second.
Ever since he acquired the Energy Absorption ability, he had relied on it to get through quite a few difficulties.
Whether it was dealing with that Level 4 Mutant, or using Energy Absorption to absorb various types of energy to strengthen himself, thereby stimulating the Bio-electricitywithin his body.
Energy Absorption had benefited Ian immensely right from the start.
And now, after injecting compound vi, Ian's Energy Absorption had evolved.
He could feel that the cells all over his body were beginning to breathe, just like living entities.
The stray, invisible dark energy in the outside world was being gradually absorbed and stored by his cells.
Not only that, but Ian could also feel that his efficiency in absorbing energy was much faster than before.
Before injecting compound vi, he could absorb 50% of the energy acting upon his body.
And after injecting compound vi and stacking a fourfold amplification, he was stunned to find that his Energy Absorption rate could now reach 75% of the energy acting on his body.
This was a terrifying concept!!
Keep in mind, Ian was inherently capable of boosting his cellular activity by absorbing energy.
If there was enough energy, he could completely elevate his cellular metabolism to an astonishing degree.
And this also indicated that Ian could entirely achieve the goal of rapid recovery through absorbing energy.
This meant that most energy attacks not only couldn't harm him, but would even be absorbed by Ian to recover from his injuries.
Furthermore, even if he encountered an energy attack capable of injuring him, Ian could rely on the 75% Energy Absorption to channel the opponent's energy into boosting his cellular metabolism, enabling a continuous stream of recovery.
If expressed in terms of the situation in LOL, it would be an ADC fighting a late-game Mundo.
Not only did it barely hurt, but the damage output couldn't even match the opponent's healing speed.
"Hiss... With Energy Absorption evolving into this state, can I just tank a nuclear blast now?"
Ian felt somewhat eager to try. When he first arrived in The Boys Universe, he had been very interested in the idea of hard-tanking a nuclear bomb.
After all.
He had already reached the point of no longer being human; if he didn't experience humanity's ultimate weapon, wouldn't that be too much of a pity?
"Mr. Ian, how are you feeling right now?" Dr. Vogelbaumsnapped back to his senses, looking at Ian with a complex expression.
Just as compound vi finished taking effect, the instruments had indeed detected that his cells hadn't received a significant boost.
But now, Mr. Ian's body was constantly absorbing the surrounding invisible dark energy, making his cellular activity increasingly high and his strength greater and greater.
Even... Dr. Vogelbaum had secretly made a comparison just now and discovered a startling thing—
Even with Homelander injecting compound vi, the strength of his body cells was still far inferior to Mr. Ian's.
Could the Mutants that Mr. Ian mentioned earlier be real?
Otherwise, how could one explain the gap between him and Homelander?
"Vogelbaum, help me check if Homelander, Quinn, Grace, and the other members of The Seven have adapted to the enhancements they gained."
Ian nodded slightly, raised his head, placed his gaze on Dr.Vogelbaum, and said expressionlessly.
"If they have adapted well, tell them to help me control the entire America's Military, and then..."
"6"
"Take control of the entire America!"
Those missiles launched towards Vought Tower earlier were definitely fired by people from the Military.
Looking at it this way, those bodies in the White Houseshould have already been discovered.
Since that was the case, Ian simply sent out his subordinate Superhumans to take control of the entire America.
As for the Superhuman virus in the hands of Soldier Boyand Hughie...
If Ian remembered correctly, Superhumans who had injected original compound v could resist the Superhumanvirus.
And now, compound vi was much more powerful than original compound v, and was completely different from compound v.
The Superhuman virus that only acted in the blood of Superhumans and reacted with compound v could never target compound vi, which acted upon genes!
"Yes! Mr. Ian!!"
Following Ian's order, The Seven, Quinn, Grace, and others successively left Vought Tower.
Carrying Ian's orders, they headed to various parts of America, using their own terrifying extraordinary powers to take control of the human Military.
Pentagon, General Command Room.
Generally speaking, the President of America was the Commander-in-Chief of the entire America's Militarydepartment.
But because President Conrad was advanced in age when he assumed the presidency, he would occasionally issue some absurd and laughable orders.
Therefore, Congress had Commander Sklaran, a veteran general who had fought in World War II, become the Commander-in-Chief of America's Military department.
And after all the members of Congress and President Conrad died, he naturally took on the duties of the President of America.
"Fortunately, our states in America are autonomous. Even if the upper echelons of the United States Government have all died out, it doesn't hinder the governance of each state."
A bearded, pot-bellied man wearing a Military uniform sat in front of Commander Sklaran, a look of relief appearing on his face.
"Father, we have now taken control of all the power in America."
He raised his head, flashed an ugly grin, looked at Commander Sklaran sitting at the desk listening to an assistant's report, and continued speaking.
"As long as we take down Vought as well, the entire America, including those Superhumans with extraordinary powers, will all be firmly grasped in our hands!"
"Islamqi, our urgent goal right now is to eradicate Vought, to eradicate that Superhuman named Ian!"
Sklaran turned his head, frowned at his son, a trace of displeasure showing on his face.
Even though his son had reached his thirties, he was still so frivolous, which gave him a huge headache.
"But I just received news that the missiles launched from various Military bases nationwide have all been intercepted by Homelander, as well as two other Superhumans who have never appeared in the public eye."
"We need to find a new plan to completely destroy Vought; otherwise, what awaits the entire America will be pitch-black darkness!"
Sklaran's expression gradually turned gloomy. He considered America's previous investigation into Vought to have been thorough enough.
But never had he expected that Vought actually hid so many Superhumans with formidable Superpowers.
This was something he never could have imagined.
If they couldn't handle those Superhumans, they certainly wouldn't be able to handle Ian.
But now, even intercontinental missiles were useless; what else could deal a devastating blow to these guys?
"Since that's the case, Father, let's deploy nuclear bombs!"
After pondering for a moment, Islamqi stated a startling plan.
"Nuclear bombs?"
Before Sklaran could react, an unfamiliar male voice came in from outside the window.
"You guys really know how to joke. How can a thing like a nuclear bomb destroy Vought?"
Hearing the unfamiliar man's words, everyone in the general command room was startled, and hurriedly turned their heads to look toward the window.
Then, they saw...
"Homelander?!"
Chapter 91 Massacre the The Pentagon, Welcome the Superhuman Era!
When Homelander stood with his hands behind his back, floating outside the window, his eyes flashing with blazing Laser Vision, looking dangerously at everyone present, everything became terrifying.
Facing Homelander directly, Commander Sklaran, General Islamchi, and all the soldiers present instantly stiffened their muscles, tensing up all over as if they had encountered a predator at the top of the food chain.
"Hom... Homelander?!"
Someone couldn't resist the violently trembling fear in their heart and asked with a tremor.
"You... how could you appear here?"
"Because times have changed, sir."
Homelander looked with interest at these guys trembling all over, looking at him with a terrified appearance.
This feeling was wonderful, as if he could firmly grasp everything about these guys in his hands.
"Now... is no longer the ignorant and arrogant era you had in the past."
77
Homelander raised an eyebrow, casually sweeping over everyone present, his tone grim.
"Now... is the Superhuman era!"
Swoosh!!
As soon as his voice fell, his eyes suddenly released red Laser Vision twice as thick as before.
After injecting compound vi, the temperature of this red Laser Vision was much higher than before, reaching a high temperature of 6,000 degrees Celsius on the Sun's surface!
And this was the Super Heat Vision evolved by Homelander after injecting compound vi, which was much more powerful than before.
As soon as this Laser Vision was fired, it directly tore through the airflow and fiercely shot into the head of a soldier who wanted to fire his gun.
Bang!
Like a watermelon exploding, flesh and blood flew everywhere, and all kinds of yellowish-white filthy tissues scattered all over the place.
Then, under the action of gravity, the headless body fell straight to the ground, making a muffled sound.
But Homelander did not stop. The Laser Vision in his eyes was still being released, continuously sweeping toward the soldiers beside him.
The blazing Laser Vision was like blades sharp to the extreme, instantly blowing up the heads of more than a dozen soldiers.
Everything happened so fast that the father-and-son duo of Sklaran and Islamchi didn't even react in their brains before all the soldiers present turned into cold corpses.
Gulp!!
Islamchi swallowed a mouthful of saliva, raised his head tremblingly, and fixed his gaze tightly on Homelander, who was still releasing Laser Vision.
This is not a human.
This is a terrifying monster invincible by human power!
Fear engulfed his entire body like a tide.
Islamchi could no longer endure this extreme fear, quickly drew his gun, pulled the trigger toward Homelander's head, and fired fiercely.
The other surviving soldiers also used every means to attack Homelander.
Some threw grenades, some held rifles and kept firing, but more of them collapsed, wanting to escape and get away from here, the farther the better.
But when they ran to the door, they were stunned to find a heroic-looking woman blocking the outside.
The fist in her hand blasted through the airflow, bursting out a violent whistling sound, directly smashing a soldier's head to pieces.
"Sorry, everyone, it seems you can only die here today."
Grace tilted her head, still showing a smile devoid of any emotion on her face, but in the eyes of these soldiers, she was like a demon from Hell.
Someone wanted to jump out the window and escape with a parachute, but in the next second, python-thick green vines instantly pierced through his body, directly piercing him through and sending him straight to meet his maker.
Homelander instantly darted into the command room, pinching Commander Sklaran's neck with one hand, and smiled grimly: "Walker Sklaran, you guy are really lucky. I just happened to be in the mood to let you see how the people in the The Pentagon are completely massacred by us."
"You... you are simply demons!" Sklaran turned pale and trembled all over, "God will send down punishment, you will definitely come to a bad end!"
"Is that so?"
Homelander grinned, thinking of some words Ian had previously told him, and after pondering for a moment, he spoke out.
"But now, there is no God flying in the sky, only us... We represent the next era."
"The Superhuman era!"
In the next thirty minutes, Homelander, Quinn, and Grace, like Death reaping lives in Hell, completely slaughtered everyone in the entire The Pentagon.
The blazing high-temperature Laser Vision was like a death-knell beam. Wherever it swept, patches of lives vanished.
Thick green vines broke through the soil from the periphery, braving the blazing sunlight, growing wantily, and wrapping around the entire building.
On every floor, countless vines, like a monster's tentacles, searched for those panic-stricken fleeing people, then wrapped around their bodies and turned them into nutrients for the vines.
This was another ability Quinn obtained after injecting compound vi.
Compared to these two, Grace's method was much simpler.
She hovered quietly in mid-air, with all the survivors in the building appearing in her mind.
Whether they were fleeing in panic from Homelander's Laser Vision or fighting desperately to escape from Quinn's vines.
They were all detected by Grace's Mental Energy. Ever since injecting compound vi, Grace's ability for accelerated thinking had also evolved.
From accelerated thinking, it turned into psychokinesis.
Not only could she use her mind to perceive everyone inside, but she could also do it like this—
Grace reached out her right hand, her Mental Energyshrouding everyone inside, and then gently clenched her fist.
Splat! Splat! Splat!
Countless people exploded instantly like bursting balloons, crushed by Grace's psychokinesis.
"Two of you, I seem to have heard Soldier Boy's voice."
Homelander smiled and flew to the side of Grace and Quinn, his super hearing catching a trace of faint abnormal sound.
That person's voice was very familiar to Homelander; it was his biological father—Soldier Boy.
"Now is also the time for my lost father to return to the shelter of Great-Grandpa."
Vought Tower, radiation room.
Sizzle sizzle sizzle!!
Azure electric currents danced on Ian's body, stirring the air, sparks flying everywhere, as if a deity had descended into the world.
After a moment, he slowly opened his eyes and frowned slightly.
"Bio-electricity has indeed reached the limit that my body can accommodate. It seems that if I want to make a breakthrough, I still have to rely on external pressure."
After injecting compound vi, Ian came directly to the radiation room, absorbing the radiant energy emitted by enriched uranium.
But what Ian didn't expect was that although his body kept growing stronger because the radiant energy was being absorbed,
the Bio-electricity in his body was as if locked up, its strength still only at one hundred thousand volts, unable to go any further.
"I don't know how Homelander and Grace are doing with their execution. We need to use all of America's nuclear bombs on me as soon as possible."
"If I face a nuclear blast head-on, I wonder if it can push my Bio-electricity a step further."
Chapter 92: Controlling America and Elbowing Nuclear Missiles!
The Pentagon had been completely slaughtered, with human corpses scattered everywhere.
Faced with the Superhumans led by Homelander who had been injected with compound vi, humanity suffered a disastrous defeat.
Of course, not just here, other parts of America were also overrun by members of The Seven.
If modern firearms battling the cold weapon era could be considered a dimensional reduction strike.
Then Superhumans in the Superhuman era battling modern firearms vividly and intuitively demonstrated what a dimensional reduction strike truly was.
However, none of this had anything to do with Hughie and Soldier Boy.
At this moment, these two guys were standing naked inside the ventilation ducts of The Pentagon.
"Did you hear the screams of those people just now?"
Hughie held a sealed test tube in his right hand, leaned close to Soldier Boy, and asked in a low voice.
He was still under the influence of Temp V, so even if they encountered danger, he could teleport away with Soldier Boy at any time.
"Of course I heard it, but Hughie, stay away from me! Neither of us is wearing clothes right now, and I am not interested in men!"
Seeing the naked Hughie approaching, Soldier Boy felt his sphincter tighten involuntarily and quickly took two steps back.
As a veteran white man of America, he had zero interest in men, and his favorite things to do every day were smoking ice and playing with women.
Oh right, playing with older women.
After all.
Women were like fine wine; the older they got, the more mellow they became.
Soldier Boy strongly agreed with this sentiment and practiced it to the end.
"Let's not talk about that. You said earlier that we came to The Pentagon to find those in power in America and use their strength to take down Vought."
"But now... it seems they're all dead. Can we only rely on the superhuman virus in our hands?"
Hughie poked his head out and saw that the floors outside were piled high with all sorts of corpses, severed fingers, and remains.
Fresh blood was splattered everywhere, and the air was filled with a pungent, rust-like smell of blood that violently assaulted the nostrils of both men.
"Fack! What on earth did they do?"
Not only Hughie, but Soldier Boy was also stunned. Even back in his earlier years, he had never witnessed such a tragic and gruesome scene.
"Of course, it's to slaughter the entire Pentagon and welcome the new Superhuman era, my father."
A deep man's voice came from behind the two of them.
"Oh no! My chrysanthemum!!"
Hughie and Soldier Boy instantly thought of their current naked state, so they hurriedly turned around and looked behind them.
[Remember the fastest novel network on the web, Book Chasing Artifact 101 Reading Net, 101kkrs.com, super easy to use]
They saw a hand raise up, and Homelander was standing before them, holding Skran like pinching a chick.
"Sheet! Hughie, run!!"
As soon as Soldier Boy finished speaking, Hughie instantly activated his ability and directly teleported the other person away from here.
Immediately following that, Homelander's blazing red Laser Vision instantly fired, fiercely piercing through the entire ventilation duct.
"Fack! Those two damned guys got away again. This kind of teleportation ability is simply guard against..."
Homelander cursed angrily, looked at Quinn beside him, and a gloomy expression appeared on his face.
But before he could finish speaking, the naked Hughieflashed right in front of him again, holding the equally naked Soldier Boy in his arms.
Not only that, Soldier Boy's chest was also flashing with a radiation-filled glow, seeming to have completed its charge, and he delivered a fierce chest blast right into Homelander's face.
Boom!!
This terrifying chest blast fired almost instantly, directly striking Homelander in the face.
The terrifying Impact directly blasted Homelander like a billiard ball, sending him flying away fiercely.
This was the move Hughie and Soldier Boy had tested out previously.
Soldier Boy's chest blast could eliminate compound v in the blood of Superhumans, thereby erasing the Superpowers of Superhumans.
Combined with Hughie's teleportation, it could achieve an almost instant chest blast, leaving Superhumans with nothing to block and nowhere to hide.
When they discovered Homelander standing behind them just now, Hughie directly took Soldier Boy to teleport and evade the opponent's attack while having Soldier Boycharge his chest blast.
When the charging time of the chest blast was about to end, Hughie directly hugged the naked Soldier Boy and flashed in front of Homelander.
This was... the bond technique of Hughie and Soldier Boy!
Never underestimate two naked men hugging each other!!
"How is he?" Hughie looked at Homelander lying on the ground, his face full of curiosity.
Hughie was very clear about the fact that Soldier Boy's chest blast had previously eliminated the Superpowers of several Superhumans.
Therefore, in his view, being hit by Soldier Boy's chest blast, Homelander would definitely lose his Superpowersjust like other Superhumans.
However.
To the surprise of both men, Homelander merely had a trace of blood spill from the corner of his mouth, and then flew up as if nothing had happened.
Furthermore, his eyes were blazing with Laser Vision, looking at the two of them with a look as if he wanted to devour people.
"Hughie Campbell, Soldier Boy!"
Homelander roared angrily, feeling unprecedented pain from Soldier Boy's blast just now.
This was the first time since his birth that he had felt such intense pain, causing Homelander to pant like a little cat in an instant.
"Holy crab!" Soldier Boy stared blankly at Homelander, whose Superpowers still existed.
What the hell kind of situation was this?
Had his chest blast failed?
Or was the opponent's Superpowers simply too powerful, rendering even his chest blast completely useless?!
All sorts of doubts arose in Soldier Boy's mind, making him feel like a walking dictionary of whys.
But Hughie beside him realized something was wrong right away and hurriedly tried to activate his ability to teleport away with Soldier Boy.
However.
Bang!
A heavy blow came to the back of his head, causing Hughie's eyes to roll back on the spot as he fainted, and the superhuman virus inside the test tube fell into Grace's hands.
Soldier Boy hurriedly turned his head and saw his brother Quinn standing right before his eyes, grinning with a cold smile.
"My good little brother, we meet again."
Soldier Boy:
I think it would be better if the two of us never met.
Under the unrivaled power of the Superhumans, all of America had been completely controlled in just a short span of one week.
After all.
Superhumans were always far more formidable than ordinary humans.
Furthermore, after being injected with compound vi, they could possess lifespans that ordinary people could never have.
Many wealthy tycoons and major Families surrendered at the very first moment of Vought's operation, wanting to obtain the qualifications to be injected with compound vi.
And The Seven successfully took control of the entire U.S. military, as well as the launch authority for nuclear missiles.
The Great Basin Desert of America.
This was the largest desert in all of America, with an area of 520,000 square kilometers.
And today.
Ian — the great Father Nurgle of all humanity, the Emperor of the Superhuman era...
Will perform an elbow drop on all of America's nuclear missiles right here!
