Simultaneous time travel: Am I the only normal person?

#444 - Homelander

Dong...Dong...Dong...

He tapped his fingers on the desk. The two people in front of him looked a little unnatural.

Xingguang was still frightened because she almost experienced the unspoken rules of the workplace yesterday.

As for the Chinese, they have no idea about the intentions of the major shareholder in front of them.

He looks even crazier than me!

"Homelander, your handkerchief."

Luke stopped and signaled with his eyes to the clean handkerchief placed on the corner of the table.

There was not a trace of blood, it was as clean as if it had never been used.

There was something wrong with Homelander's expression.

But he still took the handkerchief and put it into his belt obediently.

Although the superhero uniforms designed by Vought Corporation are not as exaggerated as those of genuine superheroes, they have more or less taken comfort and reasonable structure into consideration.

We can't let A-Zu hold it in for a whole day.

Moreover, tight clothes tend to highlight the figure. If one day she couldn't hold it in anymore and her buttocks bulged out, the people of the country would go completely crazy without waiting for Madeline's death.

"Sir, I..."

Starlight seemed relieved to see Luke's friendly attitude and wanted to say thank you to Luke.

When she returned home yesterday, not only did Ashley not urge her to come back to work, but the company also made an emergency announcement.

20:23.

"One of the members of the Super Seven was attacked by Somali pirates while rescuing marine life in the deep sea. He was seriously injured and fell into a coma. He has been urgently airlifted back to Water Hospital for treatment..."

22:37.

"The situation in the Super Hero Deep Sea has worsened. According to insiders, the possibility of rescue failure is very high. Let us raise our hands together and gather vitality for the Deep Sea..."

00:31.

"We have received news that the superhero Shen Hai's injuries are still getting worse. According to reports, Shen Hai's exclusive agent is his lover who is hiding in the dark..."

The entire American news industry was shaken. Countless reporters got up in the middle of the night and rushed to Water Hospital and Water International Corporation just to get first-hand reports.

But unfortunately, Water Corporation attaches great importance to medical supervision.

Many superheroes are standing guard outside to protect the life safety and personal privacy of people in the deep sea.

Unless the reporter is named Clark Kent, even a fully staffed NYPD team may not be able to break in.

The strict defense of Water Company has caused many journalists to denounce it, saying that "Water International Company's actions have violated the journalists' right to report news. We need freedom of the press, and America needs freedom of the press..."

In this regard, the publicity department of Water Company also promptly stated: "Deep Sea is still in the hospital for treatment. We need a quiet environment. This is a great superhero, not the popularity you are pursuing!"

Then he sent lawyer's letters to several news agencies in succession, as if he really wanted to seek justice for the "seriously injured and unconscious" Shen Hai.

The strong response from Water Company and the pressure from journalists made the popularity of "severe injuries and near death in the deep sea" soar to a higher level again.

I have to say that Water Company is really good at public relations.

Over the years, not only has he been able to protect such a large number of rotten super-powered people, but he has also been able to make them into popular superheroes. Now, the accidental death in the deep sea has been designed into a massive publicity plan.

Of course, there is also the personal factor of Deep Sea.

Some time ago, the retirement of the Lamplighter caused the stock market value of Water Company to increase significantly.

Now, the death of an active member of the Super Seven has brought Vought Corporation countless attention and money.

To be honest, the living deep sea doesn't earn as much as the dead deep sea...

"According to a statement from Water Hospital, Shen Hai was confirmed dead at 3:42 a.m. after failed rescue efforts..."

Xingguang froze in the middle of her words.

Luke turned the tablet on the table toward Starlight and Homelander.

"What a pity. With Shen Hai's image, the company originally wanted to make him the spokesperson for animal protection and environmental sanitation organizations..."

His tone was gentle, but it sent chills down Xingguang's spine.

Deep sea dead?

Shen Hai, who had only flirted with her verbally, died in Water Hospital the next day? And he died because of Somali pirates?

What a joke!

It is true that Starlight Man was a little stupid, but she knew very well that Water Company would not easily abandon a cash cow like Deep Sea for her, even if Deep Sea offended a senior executive of the company.

So, after she left yesterday, something unexpected happened in Shen Hai's office, which led to Shen Hai's "unfortunate death" today...

Starlight subconsciously looked towards Homelander.

The Homelander remained calm: "Me too, sir."

Just a deep sea.

If you die, you die.

Although it could scare the Homelanders temporarily, it would not make them that afraid of Luke.

At most, I would be a little afraid of him and try to stay away from this antisocial lunatic in the future...

However, Luke obviously wouldn't think of letting him go.

To be precise, he will not let go of any "bad guy" in the Super Seven and any "good guy" in the Boys.

The evil god turns against the good god.

With his ability, he definitely can't do it.

The development of Marvel's multiverse is at least based on the name of the evil god Loki. The foundation of Norse mythology is here, and the box garden also recognizes this.

Although the constructed worldview is somewhat out of place, it can be used anyway. After all, Loki is a great god who can rule the multiverse.

Even if it spans countless multiverses, its status will not be too low.

However, the world of The Boys is different. The superpowers in this world come from Compound No. 5 and have nothing to do with orthodox mythology.

Therefore, this world can only serve as the 'seed' of transformation from good to evil at best.

Reversal...

Luke narrowed his eyes and stared at the Homelander in front of him.

"Mr. Luke, what do you want to talk to me about?"

Homelander lowered his eyes slightly and did not meet his gaze.

"Homelander, do you think... Madeline loves you?"

“…”

The room suddenly became quiet.

Starlight's heart was pounding.

Homelander, actually has something to do with Madeline!

She wouldn't die inexplicably in the office today like Shen Hai, and then the next day Water Company would join forces with the media to give her a grand "farewell party" with some ridiculous excuse like "terrorist attack", right?

That shouldn’t be the case, right?

Sizzle——

Starlight shuddered.

The scarlet heat ray penetrated the desk directly, but did not hurt Luke, and only appeared for a moment.

"Don't get excited. Stay calm, Homelander."

Luke continued smiling.

The future A-Zu can be suppressed by Edgar, who is just an ordinary person, let alone the current A-Zu.

No matter how courageous he is, he will not take action against the major shareholders of Water Company.

Doing so would touch the company's bottom line.

As a member of the Super Seven, you can kill people for Vought Corporation, or you can kill people for no reason, and Vought Corporation will help you solve the subsequent problems.

But, there are some people you can't touch.

"I don't understand you."

Homelander was silent for a moment, then raised his head and smiled.

Don't push me...

I just didn't control my ability...

His eyes revealed a sense of compromise.

Madeline is now at a critical stage, and Homelander is well aware of how hard she has been working these days to advance her plans.

If Madeline fell out with Luke at this time, then everything she had done would most likely be wasted.

By then, the angry Madeline might choose to abandon him directly...

This is unacceptable to the people of our motherland!

"So, let me be clear, do you think you are Madeline's dog?"

"Or is it a little baby who loves to drink milk?"

Luke's voice was close by.

No, he is right behind him!

boom!

Feeling his shoulder sink, the already sensitive Homelander was directly stimulated. It was a completely subconscious instinctive reaction. Without the slightest hesitation, he punched out!

A violent gas explosion sounded.

Starlight's eyes widened and lit up.

Her superpower is to emit strong light. By absorbing energy and large and small electric currents, she can also temporarily enhance her own abilities and release laser shock waves.

Her eyes would light up when she was emotional.

"I said..." Luke's voice was a little cold, "Calm down!"

Bang!

A heavy sound.

In an instant, the defenseless Homelander was suddenly suppressed by a powerful force, and his head hit the desk in front of him as if it was hit by a sledgehammer.

That hand was like a sledgehammer weighing tens of millions of tons, pressing his head firmly on the table with irresistible brutality.

The desk was instantly overwhelmed by this terrifying force.

Fine cracks spread rapidly like a spider web, followed by a few crisp "cracks". The cracks expanded rapidly, and in an instant the entire table top was shattered into pieces.

Wood chips flew everywhere like bullets, and the entire desk collapsed completely along with the sound of breaking legs.

His head was still pressed firmly on the shattered wreckage, and the surrounding area was filled with sawdust and wood chips, making it difficult for him to breathe.

Xingguang looked at this scene in astonishment.

"Have you calmed down?"

"Mmmmm...mmmm..."

Homelander struggled hard, his face pressed into a pile of sawdust.

His power is actually not weak.

Unlike DC's Superman, the setting of the TV series version of Homelander has actually been strengthened to a certain extent, instead of being weakened a lot like Superman.

The TV version explicitly states that Homelander can fly faster than the fastest fighter jet, can throw a baseball out of Earth's orbit, his body can withstand an explosion of 1.5 million tons of TNT without any harm, and his thermal vision can easily cut through aircraft.

Since there is no opponent, his upper limit is actually unknown.

Although due to the expressiveness of the series and the cost of special effects, there is no obvious suppression, so that he looks like a super-powered person with great strength and flying ability.

As for why this guy could still rub against the soldier boy on the ground...

Luke was also quite surprised by this matter at first.

But now, he knew why.

This guy...maybe he doesn't even know how strong he is.

Luke looked at Homelander who was struggling in his hands with a strange expression.

Should we say that Water Company is lucky, or that A-Zu is born lacking love...

According to the power hidden in this guy's body, he can actually be a terrifying dictator who is no less powerful than Superman.

However, the Chinese man who grew up in the laboratory of Water Company did not have a clear understanding of his own strength - you can't expect a guy who doesn't even have an elementary school diploma to understand experimental data.

He had no idea how strong he was, and coupled with the brainwashing propaganda carried out by the Water Corporation and his own mental defects, A-Zu was unable to fully display his strength.

Of course, the motherland does not need to exert all its strength.

He only needs to use a small part of his power to suppress all the super-powered people in the world.

Others are pretending to be pigs to eat tigers, but the Chinese are raised like pigs, and finally they really become pigs.

Sizzle——

Scarlet rays of heat shot straight across the wall.

“Ahhh—”

The motherland roared.

The powerful force caused the ground to collapse and shatter instantly.

Luke waved his hand, and the world turned upside down like a kaleidoscope, and Homelander dived into the tall building opposite - the real world could not withstand a fight between the two of them.

"Azu, be an obedient child."

Luke sighed.

He just wanted to give his countrymen another ancestor, and he had no ill intentions.

Moreover, with his support, the talents of our motherland can become true...superheroes!

Isn't this what A-Zu has always dreamed of?

However, Luke's answer was a heavy blow from his homelander!

With supersonic flight speed and tens of thousands of tons of force, one punch is enough to unleash a force comparable to that of a small hydrogen bomb.

A-Zu was really anxious.

He wants this smiling guy to be disfigured!

Luke's smile is so righteous. The people of Homeland will not allow anyone to be more righteous than themselves!

In an instant, Homelander appeared in front of Luke.

His fist smashed into Luke's face, which was still smiling.

But at this moment, Luke's figure suddenly flashed and instantly appeared behind Homelander.

Holding Homelander's head, Luke smiled in Homelander's eyes which were half angry and half fearful.

Smash it down hard!

Homelander pointed his head downward and continued to break through from the top floor of the Vought Company Building. The ceiling became the floor, and the floor became the ceiling, coming into close contact with the ground again and again.

Holes were knocked out layer by layer, bricks and stones were shattered layer by layer, and Homelander was pressed down by Luke with one hand until he was smashed deep into the ground!

But that’s not all.

If you want your countrymen to be obedient in the future.

Luke needs to teach his child a profound enough lesson!

"Zu, close your eyes."

He said softly.

The Homelander was a little dizzy from the blow just now.

I still haven't heard what Luke said.

Then, the whole person flew up like a pendulum in the air.

Bang! Bang! Bang... (End of this chapter)
