"No more Homelander?
Arrogant! I'd like to see how You kill me!"
Homelander was shocked and enraged, his eyes suddenly shooting out Cyclops. Russell, completely fearless, also shot out lasers. The two searing laser beams fiercely collided, energy annihilating in the clash.
A terrifying ball of energy converged at the center and suddenly exploded. The earth-shattering blast and shockwaves spread, instantly damaging the surrounding buildings, their glass shattering.
Boom! Boom!
Astonishing light and heat, as if a small Sun had exploded.
"Help, I can't see anything."
"Run, Homelander has gone mad!"
People on the street screamed and fled, some with their vision completely blacked out.
The two were each shaken back a distance in the air.
However, Russell, who was ultimately not as skilled in aerial combat as Homelander, was pushed back further. Homelander showed little joy; instead, he was filled with shock and uncertainty.
This guy's Cyclops ability is almost on par with his!
For so many years, Homelander had never met anyone who could take his attack head-on without injury while he was in a state of rage!
Impossible, only this ability can rival mine!
He angrily swung his fist, about to strike.
Whoosh!
Someone on the ground suddenly pulled up a streetlamp and shot it at him, momentarily slowing his attack. He tilted his head to dodge, and the streetlamp pierced through a building, flying into the sky.
Edgar was saved and left with the crowd.
Several figures below followed closely behind Russell: Butcher, Hughie, Red Missile, and Rubber Killer, who had pulled up the streetlamp – all unfamiliar figures to Homelander.
Among the four men and one woman, only one familiar Shadow, Queen Maeve, who had arrived upon receiving orders, caused Homelander's pupils to contract slightly.
"Maeve! Are You going to stand against me too?"
"Without You, it's better for everyone.
During the last hijacking incident, I fully recognized your incurable nature."
Maeve coldly brandished the special alloy combat sword in her hand, giving it a flourish.
If it were other company orders, Maeve might have just gone through the motions, but when it came to dealing with Homelander, she had been waiting for this for a long time.
"Good, good, then You can all die together!" Homelander was furious, his eyes sweeping with lasers, the road surface being plowed open by the blasts. The few people quickly dodged.
Swish!
He had Cyclops, and Russell did too.
Homelander used Cyclops to attack the few people, and the next instant he was blasted away by Russell's Cyclops, tumbling several times in the air before he could stabilize himself.
Bang!
Hughie, expressionless, suddenly teleported in front of Homelander and threw a fierce punch. The air pressure exploded, making Homelander's head snap to the side.
Under normal circumstances, Hughie naturally wouldn't dare to fight the enraged Homelander, but he was currently under control.
After saving Hughie and Butcher's lives, Russell wiped their memories and controlled them. Although they had to work for him, at least they were still alive.
Before coming, Russell had thought that maybe the few members of The Boys would all have decent abilities after taking temporary Compound V.
Unfortunately, only Hughie and Butcher turned out to be useful.
"What the hell!"
His vision blurred, and a pale, naked man suddenly appeared in front of him and punched him. Even the usually twisted Homelander couldn't help but be stunned for a moment before remembering to angrily swing his fist to counterattack.
Hughie teleported away rapidly the next second.
His physical strength was not enough to withstand Homelander's enraged blow.
His punch hit nothing, and a fierce wind suddenly struck from behind. Homelander quickly turned back and shot out Cyclops.
"Scum like You should have been wiped out long ago!"
Russell's expression was cold and stern. An iron hand covered and grabbed Homelander's face, twisting his head to the side and rapidly slamming him towards the ground.
"Want to know where your son is? I'll tell You after You survive today!"
Having his face humiliatingly grabbed, Homelander desperately tried to twist his head, wanting to sweep Cyclops across Russell's face, but he couldn't twist it back for a moment. He could only look at Russell from an angle where his mouth and eyes were askew from being pressed.
"Where is my son?!
I'm going to kill You!!"
Infinitoid's strength was actually not much inferior to his. Besides being surprised, Homelander couldn't help but feel intense jealousy.
Why did he have to be born in a lab and suffer torture from a young age to possess such power, while this guy didn't have to suffer at all?
Bang!
Russell, holding Homelander, rapidly plummeted from the sky, slamming heavily onto the street. The ground collapsed into a crater over ten meters wide and deep, sending shattered asphalt fragments flying into the sky.
At the bottom of the deep crater, Russell's Cyclops hit Homelander's face. Homelander endured the laser's burning, swung his fist, and sent Russell flying out!
Russell flew backward and crashed into a building.
His face blackened as if it had been hit by explosives, Homelander just managed to get up in a sorry state when he saw the several people at the edge of the large crater surrounding him like hounds cornering prey.
"You bunch of Vought lackeys.
Come on, I'll kill all of You."
Maeve leaped with her sword for a downward slash, Red Missile dived down for a collision, and Butcher's eyes fired lasers.
Hughie teleported behind Homelander, grabbing his arm to try and restrict his movement.
"Get lost, You disgusting bastard!" Being hugged from behind by a naked man, Homelander furiously broke free, punched him flying, and then turned back. His face first took a glancing blow from Butcher's laser, leaving a red mark, and Red Missile and Maeve had already arrived, attacking together.
The few of them engaged in a chaotic fight.
In the ruins of the building lobby, pushing away the broken wall pressing down on him, Russell's faintly aching chest quickly recovered. His vision pierced through the dust, seeing the few people 圍攻 Homelander.
'Soldier Boy's strength compared to Homelander's is still slightly inferior.'
Fortunately, his immortal healing ability could compensate well for this aspect; the pain from being punched disappeared in an instant.
Boom!
A sonic boom cloud exploded in the confined space. Russell flew forward, the glass curtain wall shattering in the Impact, his fist carrying enough power to sink an aircraft carrier, slamming towards Homelander.
Dong—!!!
Homelander's Cyclops blasted away the charging Red Missile, and the next second, Russell's fist, which had arrived before him, heavily struck his head.
The Impact spread out in a spherical shape.
Within a hundred meters radius, billboards, streetlights, and cars simultaneously twisted and deformed, like cardboard crushed by an invisible giant hand.
Russell felt a severe pain from the recoil in his finger bones.
Homelander flew backward like a cannonball, crashing through three consecutive skyscrapers. Steel and concrete were ripped apart and shattered. In the sky filled with dust, he angrily stopped his backward momentum, hovering in mid-air, his face faintly bruised.
From another direction, Rubber Killer, whose body had transformed into a large bird, followed closely, pouncing on Homelander and wrapping around him like a giant python.
"You bunch of disgusting bastards!" Homelander didn't dare to use Cyclops on his own body. He reached out and tore away Rubber Killer's loosely bound restraints.
"A streaking pervert, a bizarre freak. You've successfully disgusted me. Is this Vought's trump card?"
Being wrapped around by a man, he looked somewhat exasperatedly at the approaching Russell, dangerous red light flashing in his eyes.
"Enough!"
Heat vision tore through the air. Russell dodged sideways, the laser grazing his shoulder and evaporating a hundred-meter diameter high-temperature zone on the Hudson River several kilometers behind him.
"Stop joking, with just these few pieces of trash and You?"
In the blink of an eye, Homelander threw off Rubber Killer, had already charged in front of Russell, grabbed Russell's throat with both hands, and rushed towards the ground.
Rumble!
