Chapter 251 Ancestor, You Are Too Weak
The cooperation was thus reached; Starlight listened carefully to Su Yi's plan and still agreed to it.
Next, it was naturally time to execute the plan.
Starlight immediately took action, contacting The Seven's agent, Ellish.
The best way for Starlight to gather the others was, of course, through Ellish.
Starlight found an excuse, saying she had received some news about Soldier Boy, and easily convinced Ellish to help her.
Not only could she fool Ellish, but she could also make Homelander and the others willingly come to Vought Corporation.
During the conversation, Su Yi also learned the current details.
Among The Seven, Homelander already knew of Soldier Boy's appearance.
Facing this former strongest Superhero, Homelander still felt a bit flustered.
Queen Maeve, due to her relationship with Butcher, was discovered by Homelander, who had already caught and imprisoned her.
The Deep returned and became Homelander's loyal follower.
Supersonic, who had just joined The Seven, was killed by Homelander before his seat was even warm.
A-Train's heart still had problems, and he could no longer run at high speeds.
Black Noir remained as low-key as ever, with no news.
The timeline of the plot was just before the party began.
Currently, Homelander and Soldier Boy had not yet met.
Ultimately, the people Su Yi had to deal with were actually just Homelander and The Deep, with Black Noir at most.
As for Soldier Boy, once Homelander was dealt with, Soldier Boy wouldn't be a big problem.
Starlight, however, didn't think so; Hughie, with Butcher, intended to use Soldier Boy to fight Homelander.
This method, in Starlight's opinion, was simply not advisable.
Soldier Boy was also a scumbag; Hughie and the others' plan might go awry.
Thinking of this, Starlight decided to contact Hughie.
She wanted Hughie and the others to cooperate with her to deal with both Homelander and Soldier Boy at once.
However, Soldier Boy's current goal was to deal with his old teammates, and he had no interest in fighting Homelander.
Hughie and Butcher could only agree to first help Soldier Boy get his revenge, and then go after Homelander.
When Starlight contacted Hughie, he was busy taking care of Soldier Boy.
"Hughie, I have a way to deal with Homelander."
Hughie looked puzzled, glanced at his surroundings, and quickly went to a secluded spot to ask, "What way?"
"I met some powerful helpers today; they can help us deal with Homelander."
"Moreover, they are more reliable than Soldier Boy."
Hughie found it hard to believe; someone could deal with Homelander?
This was simply like a joke.
Everyone in this World knew that Homelander was the most powerful being.
Butcher and Hughie planned to use Soldier Boy against Homelander precisely because Soldier Boy was the previous strongest Superhero.
No one else could possibly be Homelander's opponent.
"Starlight, are you kidding me? I really can't think of anyone who can deal with Homelander besides Soldier Boy?"
Starlight took a deep breath and said, "They are Superheroes from another Universe, true Superheroes."
Hughie became even more confused, even starting to doubt his own ears.
Superheroes from another Universe?
How did that sound so unreliable?
"Starlight, trust me, we can use Soldier Boy to deal with Homelander."
"Anyway, Soldier Boy isn't a good person either."
"Let them fight each other until both are severely wounded, and we can take the opportunity to eliminate both of them."
Listening to Hughie, Starlight felt a little sad.
Hughie's idea was good, but it was all too wishful thinking.
Their partner was Soldier Boy, and Soldier Boy was not a good person.
As soon as Soldier Boy returned, he destroyed a building.
For revenge, he was even more reckless.
Cooperating with Soldier Boy was tantamount to playing with Fire.
Starlight wanted to persuade him further, but Butcher found Hughie, and Hughie hurriedly hung up the phone.
There was nothing Starlight could do but deal with the immediate situation first.
If Homelander could truly be dealt with, then Hughiewould surely know that her method had worked.
Now there was still one problem: did this group of people have other motives?
Now, the arrow was on the string, and it had to be shot.
Starlight knew that she couldn't defeat Homelander alone, much less resist Vought Corporation.
Starlight could only place her hopes on these suddenly appearing "Superheroes."
Starlight, with Su Yi and Wanda, successfully entered Vought Corporation.
The other members of The Seven were already waiting in the meeting room.
Homelander was extremely angry because Starlight, who had summoned them, had not appeared.
"Ellish, where is Starlight?"
Feeling Homelander's anger, Ellish was terrified.
Although the Homelander in front of her was mentally unstable, he was still a destructive brat.
Such a brat was not to be provoked.
Especially since Homelander had recently driven out Vought Corporation's CEO, Zha Ji Shu, and then let himself go, yet his approval ratings had even risen.
This made Homelander even more arrogant and overbearing.
"She should be arriving soon."
Just then, Starlight, with Su Yi and Wanda, arrived at the meeting room.
The few people in the meeting room immediately focused their attention on Starlight, and then noticed the two people behind her.
Homelander completely ignored Su Yi and Wanda, angrily telling Starlight, "You better have news, otherwise, I'll make you experience something worse than death."
Starlight still remembered Supersonic's death; Supersonic was her first love and was also willing to help her fight Homelander.
But after Homelander found out, Supersonic was killed by him.
Starlight frankly said, "I went to pick up people; they are the providers of the information."
Homelander looked at Su Yi and Wanda, feeling that something was strange, but he didn't think much of it.
"Do you know Soldier Boy's whereabouts?"
Su Yi heard Homelander's question and didn't take it to heart at all.
Instead, he provocatively said, "Homelander, you seem to have telepathy. So, can you see what I'm thinking?"
Homelander was very angry, "No one dares to talk to me like that."
"Of course, no one can provoke me!"
"I am the most powerful Superhero!"
After Homelander finished speaking, he suddenly froze.
He stared intently at Su Yi and Wanda in front of him, but he couldn't perceive what Su Yi and Wanda were thinking.
His ability had never failed before.
However, just today, his telepathy failed.
This unknown caused a trace of fear in Homelander.
But soon, Homelander calmed down.
So what if he couldn't sense their thoughts?
In the face of absolute power, all schemes and tricks were useless.
He was the most powerful; no one could defeat him.
Just then, Homelander heard Su Yi say, "It seems you didn't see it."
"That's right, Homelander, you are too weak!"
"Wanda, do it."
Chapter 252 Thor's Battle with the Ancestors
Homelander had just felt a bad premonition and wanted to make a move.
He only found that the surrounding walls seemed to be collapsing.
Seeing the walls pressing in on him, Homelander was shocked beyond belief.
Amidst his shock, a beam of energy shot out from his eyes.
The always-effective energy beam decisively destroyed the wall in front of him, and just as Homelander was about to deal with Wanda, his feet found no purchase, and he was about to fall.
Fortunately, Homelander could fly.
Floating in the air, Homelander then realized that in just a second or two, he hadn't moved much, yet he seemed to have appeared in another World.
This bizarre, randomly pieced-together World gave Homelander a bad feeling.
Homelander knew that this World was under Wanda's control.
This meant that everything here was beyond his control.
This was something Homelander could not accept.
Looking at the others, Homelander had no mind to care about them, but was prepared to first deal with Wanda, and also with Starlight, that traitor.
"Starlight, I gave you a chance, and now, you have betrayed me."
Starlight showed no fear, "Homelander, you are not a god, you can be defeated, and today you will be utterly vanquished."
Homelander revealed a "kind" smile, "Just the two of you?"
Homelander then realized that Su Yi, who was with Wanda, was gone.
Just now, his mind was entirely focused on the situation of this World, but he had overlooked Su Yi's presence.
Homelander's heart skipped a beat, thinking Su Yi had hidden, preparing to ambush him.
This seemingly chaotic, randomly pieced-together Worldindeed had many places to hide one's tracks.
However, Homelander was not afraid.
He activated his X-ray vision, observing his surroundings, but did not find any trace of Su Yi.
This surprised Homelander a little, but he couldn't bother with that much anymore; now, he could only deal with Starlight and Wanda first.
Homelander directly fired energy beams, intending to directly eliminate Wanda and Starlight.
However, Wanda directly cast magic, the Ancient One's Body of Hoggoth.
The magic not only blocked Homelander's beam attack but even transformed into countless butterflies, flying towards Homelander.
Homelander looked at these butterflies and instinctively dodged.
Fortunately, these butterflies had no lethality and disappeared into thin air after flying for a short while.
If these butterflies exploded, Homelander probably wouldn't be able to withstand the damage.
Homelander was startled by Wanda's spell and immediately flew into a rage.
For so many years, no one had been able to scare him.
Just as Homelander was about to attack Wanda, Su Yi, with a group of people, suddenly appeared in the Mirror Dimension.
At this moment, Thor and the others had all put on their combat suits, ready for battle.
Thor had been eager for a long time, and the moment he saw Homelander, he immediately recognized him.
"So you're called Homelander, right?"
Thor swung Mjolnir, and he flew out, smashing towards Homelander.
Homelander saw that things were not good and fired energy beams from his eyes, wanting to stop Thor.
Thor, however, used Mjolnir to clear the way, easily blocking the energy beams.
One of Homelander's strongest killing moves was thus broken by Thor.
Homelander, whose mind was originally not mature enough, felt fear.
"No, impossible, I am the strongest, no one can defeat me!"
Thor didn't care about that much, and directly smashed a hammer towards Homelander's face.
Thor had fought in nine realms, valiant and skilled in battle.
Homelander could only rely on his powerful superpowers to bully ordinary people, so how could he be Thor's opponent?
With this hammer blow, Homelander's mentality completely collapsed.
Homelander was hammered far away, but quickly regained his footing.
"I am the god of this World, how could I lose?"
Homelander roared in anger, and Thor, hearing Homelander's words, paused, and said contemptuously, "God? You? You're not worthy."
"Your abilities are not enough, and your character is even less worthy of being called a god."
"I, Thunder God Thor, in the name of Odin, for the crime of blasphemy, judge you!"
Thor raised Mjolnir high, and the Mirror Dimension seemed to change like the sky.
Majestic heavenly might, endless thunderous divine power descended, fiercely striking Homelander's body.
At this moment, Thor was the undisputed Thor.
Homelander was stunned, only feeling it was unbelievable.
"This, how is this possible? Thunder God Thor, isn't that a person from legends and stories?"
"No, this is fake, it must be fake!"
However, the thunderous divine power quickly engulfed Homelander.
Homelander, under the thunderous divine power, had his defenses broken and was severely injured.
The thunder dissipated, and Homelander was still barely standing.
However, he looked very miserable, seemingly on the verge of collapsing at any moment.
Black Noir, A-Train, and Deep stared blankly at this scene, unable to help but swallow.
Even someone as powerful as Homelander was so vulnerable in front of Thor.
Deep recalled that he had just joined Homelander, and as a result, Homelander was defeated.
Deep felt depressed and didn't know how to save his life.
Su Yi's group watched Thor brutalize Homelander, each with question marks hanging over their heads.
Tony couldn't help but complain, "Is this what you said, the strongest superpower user in this World? Why does he seem a bit weak?"
After speaking, he also cheered on Thor, "Point Break, come on, quickly defeat him."
Peter also felt a bit bored, "I originally thought it would be very troublesome, but I didn't expect that I wouldn't need to make a move at all."
Carol noticed the three hiding to the side: Deep.
"There are three more over there."
Before she finished speaking, Carol flew out and landed in front of the three: Deep.
"You must be Deep, A-Train, and Black Noir, right?"
Although the three of Deep didn't know Carol's strength, their intuition told them that this woman was not to be trifled with.
No, to be precise, this entire group of people should not be trifled with.
Deep immediately replied ingratiatingly, "Yes, it's us. We are not with Homelander, he coerced us."
Deep's skill in selling out teammates was indeed well-practiced.
He decisively betrayed Homelander and sold him out.
Carol looked at the three with contempt; these three were quite sensible and didn't make a move.
If they really made a move, Carol wouldn't need to spend much time.
On the other side, Thor's battle was also coming to an end.
Descending from the sky, carrying countless thunders, he landed on Homelander's body.
Homelander's physical quality was indeed strong enough; even like this, he could still barely stand.
Thor was also too lazy to waste time, directly knocking the man down with a hammer, then placing Mjolnir on Homelander's body, firmly pressing him down.
"It's all done."
Starlight watched this scene, her heart filled with shock.
The powerful The Seven were vulnerable in front of Su Yiand the others.
To deal with Homelander, it was even accomplished with just one person.
Strong, truly too strong!
Su Yi saw that the battle was over, and it was time to start acting, so he casually took out a few vials of potion and distributed them to everyone.
"Inject them with the potion, and that way, their superpowers can be eliminated."
Chapter 253: Announcing the Crimes
Su Yi and the others easily took down Homelander, and The Deep and a few others were also injected with the serum.
Next, their superpowers would slowly be stripped away.
Wanda removed her spell, and everyone returned to the Vought Corporation conference room.
Inside Vought Corporation, Tony had already completed his mission.
Tony easily infiltrated Vought Corporation's internal network and subsequently obtained a lot of important information.
Once this information was released, even if Vought Corporation was a massive enterprise, it would inevitably be punished.
"Tony, how did it go?"
"I've already gotten all the inside information on Vought Corporation, and with Ellish as a witness, I think we can definitely completely destroy Vought Corporation."
Destroying Vought Corporation was indeed not difficult; with this information and evidence, it was practically a foregone conclusion.
Su Yi did not intend to waste too much time on the next matters.
"Starlight, the next task is yours. Go rescue Queen Maeve, and then make Vought Corporation's affairs public."
Starlight knew how much impact these revelations would have on Superheroes once they were announced.
However, if they didn't do this, the repercussions would be endless.
Scoundrels like Homelander had many fans, and they would surely make a comeback and mislead even more people.
Steve saw Starlight's hesitation. "We have to do this. Vought Corporation and these Superheroes have too much influence. They must be completely eliminated for things to return to normal."
Starlight looked at Homelander and the others, who had already become ordinary people, and made her decision.
"I will do it."
Starlight immediately took Ellish and found Queen Maeve, who was being held captive.
Queen Maeve's superpowers were suppressed at the moment, and when she saw Starlight appear, Maeve was very surprised.
"Starlight, why are you here?"
"I'm here to rescue you."
Maeve was still worried about angering Homelander and implicating Starlight, so she immediately asked, "Where is Homelander?"
"He was defeated. He's an ordinary person now."
Maeve was stunned. Homelander was actually defeated. "Could it be Soldier Boy?"
Starlight shook her head. "Not him, but a group of Superheroes from other Universes."
"???"
Maeve somewhat suspected that she had been locked up by Homelander for too long and was hallucinating.
"What? Other Universes, Superheroes?"
"Yes, I didn't believe it at first, but a large group of them, and only one person was needed to defeat Homelander."
Maeve tentatively asked, "Do they have other motives?"
"I don't know, but they look, at least, more like Superheroes than we do."
Maeve lowered her head. She had been a member of The Seven for a long time, and Maeve had almost forgotten what Superheroes were supposed to do.
"Superheroes, yes, we people don't deserve to be Superheroes at all. Except for you, Starlight."
Starlight shook her head. "I don't deserve it either."
Maeve comforted her, "You've done very well."
Starlight continued, "I came to save you, and there's one more thing. They plan to release Vought Corporation's information and make Vought Corporation's actions public. Do you think we should do this?"
Maeve knew that doing so would stir up a huge mess.
But so what?
After experiencing so much, Maeve had realized that she could no longer continue to collude with Homelander.
Now, with such an opportunity in front of her, Maeve had no reason to let it go.
"Of course, we should do it. Isn't that your goal?"
"Starlight, you are a true Superhero, and you will become a role model to lead those who want to become Superheroes."
Starlight suddenly felt a lot of pressure; her small shoulders couldn't quite bear it.
"I..."
"Believe in yourself, Starlight, you can do it. Now, take me to see the Superheroes from other Universes."
Starlight appeared with Maeve, and Maeve looked at the large group of people in front of her.
Each of them was wearing a combat suit, looking strange and varied.
Maeve cheerfully greeted Su Yi and the others, "Hello, how do you want me to cooperate with you?"
Steve said, "You only need to make this information public. After we deal with Soldier Boy, we will leave on our own."
Maeve also noticed Homelander's slumped and powerless appearance; he had already lost his superpowers.
So, besides Homelander, Soldier Boy was indeed the most powerful.
Starlight and Maeve did not know Soldier Boy's location, but Hughie and Butcher did.
As long as Vought Corporation's affairs were exposed, Starlight would gain support and then learn Soldier Boy's location.
Starlight and Maeve did not hesitate too much, and Ellishhad already gone to prepare.
Soon, Ellish contacted a large number of media reporters, and within ten minutes, these people would surround Vought Corporation headquarters, making it impenetrable.
Ellish knew that Starlight and Maeve planned to expose Vought Corporation. Although doing so would make her lose her job, this was the most exciting moment for Ellish.
Over the past few years, under the high-intensity pressure from Homelander and others, Ellish felt like her hair was almost gone.
Now that Vought Corporation was about to collapse, she would also be relieved.
About ten minutes later, a large group of media reporters appeared downstairs at Vought Corporation headquarters. These reporters scrambled, eager to grab a good spot.
After all, there was bombshell news; otherwise, so many of them wouldn't have been called.
Ellish came to the press conference site downstairs. Although the site was simple and had no decorations, it still couldn't stop the reporters' enthusiasm.
"Excuse me, is something big happening at Vought Corporation?"
"Did you call us here for something important?"
"Could it be..."
...Ellish very politely said, "Today, I've invited everyone here to announce something important."
"Next, please welcome Queen Maeve and Starlight."
Everyone followed Ellish's hand and saw Maeve and Starlight appear in the public eye.
Not only them, but also the bound Homelander, The Deep, A-Train, and Black Noir.
All the reporters looked at this scene, bewildered.
However, Homelander's wounds were clearly visible.
The reporters were incredibly shocked. It was known that Homelander was the most powerful Superhero in the World, so how did he end up like this?
"What happened to Homelander?"
"Queen Maeve, what exactly happened?"
"Why are they bound?"
"This news is truly explosive!"
...The reporters all went wild; such breaking news was a once-in-a-century event.
Queen Maeve looked at the chaotic scene and immediately said loudly, "Everyone, please be quiet. All the answers you want, I will tell you one by one next."
"Now, I have something to announce."
"I am going to publicly announce all of Vought Corporation's crimes!"
At these words, the entire hall was stunned!
Chapter 254: Crazy Ancestor
Queen Maeve's words shocked everyone present.
Who was Queen Maeve?
She was Vought Corporation's most senior and popular Superhero, second only to Homelander.
And now, Maeve actually said that Vought Corporationwas guilty; there must be a huge scandal involved.
Many reporters speculated that Queen Maeve must have had a conflict with Vought Corporation.
Indeed, a lot had happened recently.
Vought Corporation's former CEO, Zha Ji Shu, stepped down, and perhaps Maeve still held a grudge against Zha Ji Shu.
It was also possible that she was targeting the current management.
No matter which it was, for the reporters, it was big news.
Maeve continued, "Vought Corporation's first crime: using Compound V to create Superheroes."
"That's right, we Superheroes were all created using a substance called Compound V."
"Furthermore, Compound V must be used during infancy to be effective."
"We are the successful ones."
"There were also many failed cases; those children met tragic ends."
Starlight also presented evidence, "This is an orphanage under Vought Corporation's control, filled with the failed individuals."
As Starlight displayed the photos, the reporters went wild.
They never expected the origin of Superheroes to be like this.
Some reporters didn't even have time to ask questions; they quickly had people record these images and evidence.
"It's simply too crazy; all Superheroes are actually artificial."
"Horrible, absolutely horrible."
"I always thought Homelander was born naturally; I even speculated that Homelander might be an alien."
"They actually harmed so many children."
"Was this Zha Ji Shu's doing alone, or were all the leaders of Vought Corporation like this?"
"Does that even need to be asked?"
A single stone stirred up a thousand waves; Maeve's few words threw the reporters into disarray.
However, this was just the beginning.
The subsequent revelations were even more shocking.
"Vought Corporation's second crime: controlling Superheroes and making them deviate from justice."
"We so-called Superheroes are tightly controlled by Vought Corporation and cannot freely help others as we wish."
Upon hearing this, the reporters were astonished.
Such a thing existed?
Starlight added, "When I first joined The Seven, one night I encountered two girls being bullied, so I stepped in to help them."
"As a result, I was told that such behavior deviated from the company's arrangements."
"If I encountered such a situation again, I should hide my identity and quietly leave."
After Starlight finished speaking, she invited Ellish to reveal the truth.
As a Superhero agent, Ellish knew even more.
In a few words, she revealed more information.
In addition, Ellish also produced corresponding evidence.
The reporters were stunned; indeed, it was a huge scandal.
And each one was bigger than the last.
Judging by the situation, this wasn't over yet; there were probably other scandals.
The reporters were filled with emotion, having stumbled upon such big news.
The only regret was that these news stories were not exclusive.
If this were exclusive news, then they would definitely be able to become famous worldwide with such a big story.
After two consecutive major revelations, the reporters were also hyped up.
"Continue!"
"Are there any other crimes?"
"Vought Corporation, you've done all sorts of bad things!"
"Alas, I never thought Superheroes were also involuntary."
"So the so-called Superheroes were all just acting."
"What kind of Superheroes are they? Calling them actors seems more appropriate."
Maeve's revelations were not over, and there were more scandals to come.
"Vought Corporation's third crime: whitewashing Superheroes, helping them cover up their mistakes, and even their crimes."
"A-Train, due to excessive use of Compound V, became overly excited and ran into and killed an ordinary person on the road. However, A-Train showed no remorse, and under Vought Corporation's influence, it merely ended with compensation and an apology."
"When The Deep harmed Starlight, the company originally intended to cover for The Deep. It was only when Starlight proactively exposed it that The Deep received punishment."
"Homelander, as Vought Corporation's most powerful Superhero, also committed many wrongs."
"When rescuing the distressed plane, Homelander and I went together to rescue it."
"Homelander accidentally damaged the cockpit, causing the plane to be unable to land."
"Because he couldn't save everyone, Homelander chose to stand by and watch, allowing the plane to crash."
The reporters immediately became alert; they knew about this incident.
At that time, Homelander had shed tears during an interview and gained a lot of public support.
But they never expected the truth behind it to be like this.
The reporters were all stunned; Homelander's acting was good, comparable to an Oscar-winning actor.
That scene of him shedding tears truly deceived too many people. Even these reporters were moved by Homelander's performance.
Maeve was exposing the shortcomings of all Superheroes, and of course, she didn't leave herself out.
"Regarding that rescue, I am very sorry that I didn't try to do what a Superhero should do."
Whether Maeve's sincere apology would be forgiven was hard to say.
However, during that rescue, Maeve indeed didn't have many options.
After all, Maeve couldn't fly, and the heavy responsibility of rescuing everyone still had to rely on the flying Homelander.
However, Homelander chose to stand by and watch to protect his reputation.
The reporters looked at the restrained Homelander beside them and now pointed their accusations at him.
"Homelander, do you have anything to explain?"
"Why didn't you save them?"
"..."
"Homelander, aren't you the most powerful Superhero? How could you do such a thing?"
Homelander, who had been silent, seemed to be provoked by these words and finally reacted.
"I am the most powerful; I can do whatever I want!"
"No one can defeat me, no one!"
"My superpowers, my superpowers are gone!"
Previously, Homelander had been unwilling to accept the reality of being defeated and losing his superpowers.
Until now, Homelander's mental state completely collapsed.
After a roar, he seemed to have gone a bit mad.
"I am a god; do you also want to resist me?"
The reporters were all frightened, watching Homelanderstruggle but fail to break free from his restraints, which made them relax a little.
The reporters then realized something: Homelanderseemed to have truly been defeated and stripped of his superpowers.
"Hahaha, I am a god!"
Homelander was already a bit abnormal, and Maeve and Starlight were also confused by Homelander's change, unsure if it was real or fake.
"Maeve, do you think he's really crazy?"
After a brief examination, Maeve concluded, "Homelanderhas always been the most powerful. However, he was defeated and lost his superpowers."
"His pride is gone, his reliance no longer exists; he should really be crazy!"
Chapter 255 Shocking the World
Homelander was truly insane, and this news was also a big scoop.
The supposedly strongest Supe in the World had met such an end.
Reporters were also very curious about what exactly had happened.
"Queen Maeve, Starlight, do you know what happened to Homelander?"
Queen Maeve and Starlight exchanged glances, then, after much hesitation, gave a half-truth answer.
"Homelander suffered divine retribution from the legendary Thor, who was displeased with Homelanderand Vought Corporation's actions, descended to this World, defeated Homelander, and stripped him of his powers."
The reporters were dumbfounded; how did this involve a mythological story? Even Thor had appeared.
The reporters were a bit skeptical, but anyone who could defeat Homelander was certainly no ordinary person.
If it was Thor, it seemed to add a touch more credibility.
Su Yi and the others closely monitored the situation, and Queen Maeve's response was indeed the best.
This World also had mythological stories, so using Thor's name was indeed more appropriate.
Tony couldn't help but egg him on, "Thor, shouldn't you make an appearance?"
Su Yi also thought Tony's idea was good, "I think so."
Thor hesitated for two seconds before making a decision.
"In that case, let us judge them in the name of Thor!"
As Thor spoke, his divine thunder power stirred up a celestial phenomenon.
In an instant, the city, which had been clear and sunny, was suddenly enveloped in dark clouds.
The entire city's weather changed, as if the end of the World had arrived.
A bolt of lightning struck down, landing at the press conference venue, right in front of the assembled reporters.
As the lightning dissipated, everyone was surprised to find a brave and burly man within the lightning.
He had flowing golden hair, a strong and imposing physique, wore armor, and held mjolnir in his hand.
Everyone looked at Thor, and in their shock, began to frantically take pictures.
"How amazing! Is that really Thor? But isn't he a god from mythology?"
"Is this the Thor who defeated Homelander?"
"He's exactly like the legends."
"Are there really gods in this World?"
...
Thor appeared beside Queen Maeve and Starlight, actively supporting them.
"I, Thor, son of Odin, in the name of Thor, judge Homelander and Vought Corporation!"
"Maeve, continue to announce Vought Corporation's crimes!"
With Thor's support, Maeve felt even more confident.
"Vought Corporation's greatest crime is controlling Superheroes to achieve its unspeakable political goals."
Maeve continued to recount Vought Corporation's misdeeds, such as using Superheroes to eliminate opponents, using Compound V to gain support from senators, and so on.
No one had expected Vought Corporation's ambition to be so vast, so vast that it wanted to control more, even manipulate the World.
Vought Corporation's crimes were exposed one by one, and there was no lack of evidence.
Regardless of whether these reporters believed it or not, their first task was to spread this information.
Thor made an appearance, simply supporting Maeve and Starlight, and all the information was leaked.
Homelander and the others were just waiting to be caught.
Vought Corporation's situation would certainly not be any better.
Even without Tony's help, this information spread within a mere ten minutes, spreading across the entire internet.
When Zha Ji Shu saw this news, his first reaction was that Vought Corporation was finished.
With these inside stories exposed, those senators could only abandon their pawns to save the king.
Of course, Compound V was of great significance and would likely not be given up.
However, they would have to push out a few scapegoats to quell the online discussion.
Zha Ji Shu, who had been betrayed by his goddaughter, "Head Popper" Newman, was undoubtedly the best scapegoat at this moment.
"Maeve, Starlight, you are courting death. Without Vought Corporation to protect you, your fate will be no better."
Zha Ji Shu didn't have much time to consider these things; prioritizing his own preservation was the most urgent matter...
Meanwhile, The Boys, seeing the information leaked online, were incredibly excited.
They had always hoped to defeat Homelander and expose Vought Corporation's true face.
Now, all of this had succeeded.
The mission was largely complete, except for the last target, Soldier Boy.
Among The Boys, the Black man Marvin, wearing a large gold chain, had a blood feud with Soldier Boy, and Marvin naturally wouldn't end things now.
Soldier Boy had appeared; he couldn't miss this opportunity.
Kimiko and Frenchie, feeling love for each other, had already considered retiring.
Now that Vought Corporation and Homelander had been taken down, the two were overjoyed and decided to withdraw as soon as possible.
However, they also saw Marvin's persistence.
Frenchie patted Marvin's shoulder, "Don't worry, we'll help you complete the final revenge. After eliminating Soldier Boy, I can retire with Kimiko."
Marvin sincerely congratulated them, "Congratulations."
"Now, I need to prepare more nerve gas bombs to deal with Soldier Boy."
...
Butcher and Hughie were preparing to take Soldier Boy for revenge.
Starlight called Hughie.
Although Hughie and Starlight were still at odds, Hughiestill loved Starlight in his heart.
So, Hughie decided to answer the call first.
"Annie."
"Hughie, did you see? Homelander has been defeated, and Vought Corporation is facing huge trouble."
"What do you mean?"
"Do you remember what I told you about Superheroesfrom other Universes?"
"I remember."
"They defeated Homelander and released all of Vought Corporation's data and crimes. Vought Corporation and Homelander are finished."
Hughie still found it hard to believe; he had been with The Boys for a long time.
Before using temporary Compound V, dealing with a Superhero was extremely difficult.
Now, someone could defeat Homelander and even uproot Vought Corporation; it all seemed a bit too incredible.
"Annie, are you joking?"
"You just need to check online to know that what I'm saying is true. Now, you just need to tell me where you are. Once Soldier Boy is dealt with, everything can end."
Hughie was still a bit skeptical, but seeing Starlight's confidence, Hughie hung up the phone and checked the information. Only then did he realize that the outside World had already changed.
While they were preparing to help Soldier Boy get revenge, Homelander had already been defeated, and Vought Corporation's inside story had been fully exposed.
His goal in joining The Boys had largely been achieved.
In that case, it seemed he really had no need to collude with Soldier Boy.
After much hesitation, Hughie chose to believe Starlight.
"I know, we are now at..."
Starlight received the message and then told Su Yi and the others the location.
"It's time to go, Captain, this is your opponent."
Although Steve didn't understand why Su Yi specifically asked him to act, no matter who it was, Steve would not back down.
"Let's go!"
Chapter 256 Soldier Boy vs. Captain
Su Yi and the others departed immediately after receiving the news.
Butcher and Hughie fell into deep thought because of this news.
Although it was hard to believe, Starlight had no reason to deceive Hughie.
What's more, the news had already spread across the entire network; it couldn't possibly be false.
Hughie wanted to prove himself, but even more, he wanted to protect Starlight's safety and deal with Vought Corporation and The Seven.
Now that the opportunity was before him, Hughie wouldn't miss it.
Butcher had been fighting The Seven for many years, wishing he could eradicate all supes.
The sudden appearance of Thor, with his immense power, aroused Butcher's apprehension.
Therefore, in Butcher's mind, Thor could also be the next target.
The two now had a disagreement; Hughie wanted to wait for Starlight to arrive.
Butcher, on the other hand, thought that since they were already there, they might as well take care of all the scum in the Villa first.
Anyway, he didn't have to exert himself; he just needed to bring Soldier Boy in.
In the end, Hughie couldn't stop the two; Butcher knocked him out directly and left him there.
Butcher and Soldier Boy entered the forest Villa.
Soldier Boy began his revenge.
Butcher watched with cold eyes, quietly enjoying it all.
Watching these scumbags die, Butcher felt an indescribable satisfaction.
His only regret was that Homelander had gone mad.
Before he could even make a move, before he could get his revenge, Homelander had lost his mind.
To fight these scumbags, to deal with Homelander, Butcher didn't hesitate to use temporary Compound V.
He knew that doing so would shorten his lifespan and turn him into the very supe he despised the most.
But Butcher still did it.
And then, at that very moment, this happened.
"Homelander, I don't care if you're truly mad or faking it, I won't let you off."
Soldier Boy's revenge inevitably caused panic.
Many supes, seeing this scene, even disregarded their image and hurried to leave.
This was Soldier Boy, incredibly powerful, not someone they could handle.
What if he went on a rampage?
So, everyone fled in a panic.
Just then, Marvin and the others appeared.
Marvin wanted to personally take down Soldier Boy.
Upon seeing his target, Marvin immediately put on his mask and fired nerve agent darts at Soldier Boy.
However, the weapon that could once deal with Soldier Boy now had no effect.
The even more powerful Soldier Boy was completely unaffected.
Soldier Boy slowly emerged from the nerve agent dart smoke.
Looking at Marvin, Soldier Boy was utterly contemptuous, not putting Marvin in his eyes at all.
Marvin recalled his hatred, let out a roar, and charged forward with his gun, rat-a-tat-tatting all the way.
However, this weapon posed little threat to Soldier Boy.
Soldier Boy held up his shield, blocking most of the bullets.
Even if some bullets hit other places, as long as they weren't vital points, they couldn't harm Soldier Boy.
Seeing Soldier Boy right in front of him, Marvin didn't care about anything else and directly threw the gun in his hand at Soldier Boy.
But if bullets couldn't harm Soldier Boy, how could a gun, which was essentially just a steel pipe, possibly injure him?
Soldier Boy knocked Marvin flying with a direct shield bash and even intended to finish him off.
Fortunately, Frenchie and Kimiko arrived in time.
Kimiko went to hold off Soldier Boy, while Frenchie first dragged Marvin aside.
Kimiko certainly wasn't a match for Soldier Boy, but she could at least hold him off for a while.
As the two sides were entangled, Su Yi arrived at the scene with his people.
The moment Steve appeared, he saw Soldier Boypreparing to deliver a fatal blow.
Without hesitation, he threw his shield directly.
Soldier Boy noticed the flying shield and immediately blocked it with his own shield.
As the two shields collided, Steve had already rushed over, performing a front roll to catch his Vibranium shield.
Steve stood up, blocking Soldier Boy's path.
The two exchanged glances, observing their opponent.
Steve knew Su Yi's intentions before they set out.
Soldier Boy's experiences, weapons, and hero name were all somewhat similar to his own.
Steve was also very interested in such an enemy.
The two sized each other up, not making a move easily.
And the appearance of Su Yi and the others immediately attracted everyone's attention.
Butcher looked at Su Yi and the others curiously, and upon seeing Starlight and Thor, he immediately realized that it was Su Yi and his group who had defeated Homelander.
Frenchie, seeing Su Yi and the others, knew that the upcoming events were not something ordinary people like them could get involved in, so he immediately called Kimiko to retreat.
The people nearby all moved away, clearing space for the great battle between Steve and Soldier Boy.
Soldier Boy didn't waste words; no matter who it was, anyone who tried to stop him would pay the price.
The two men, both wielding shields, began to fight.
Shield collided with shield, sparking, but neither could overcome the other.
However, Steve clearly had stronger combat skills.
If one move failed, he immediately changed his attack.
Although Soldier Boy was not inferior to Steve in physical strength, the gap in combat ability and experience was still very obvious.
Soldier Boy, in a moment of carelessness, was fiercely attacked by Steve and knocked to the ground.
Steve pinned Soldier Boy down, preparing to land a few blows on him.
However, Soldier Boy wasn't idle either; he used this time to briefly charge up and then unleashed a powerful burst of energy from his body, forming an Impact.
Steve hastily blocked with his shield, but was still inevitably knocked back by the force.
Steve was also tough; he took the fall without any injury.
Soldier Boy, meanwhile, prepared to counterattack and defeat Steve in one wave.
Starlight watched anxiously, "Aren't you going to help them?"
"No need, trust him."
Soldier Boy attacked furiously, intending to kill.
But Steve seized the opportunity to fight back, kicking Soldier Boy in the leg and knocking him down.
Seizing this chance, Steve gained the upper hand, but was repelled by another energy Impact.
This type of energy Impact, with its short charging time, was not very powerful.
Steve took a step back and stabilized himself.
"I can do this all day!"
After saying his classic catchphrase, Steve charged forward again.
After these two exchanges, Steve had already gauged his opponent's level.
He rushed to Soldier Boy's front and delivered a knee strike.
Then, with a flurry of attacks, he seized an opportunity, executed a beautiful combo, and directly slammed his shield hard into Soldier Boy's head, knocking him out cold.
Looking at the unconscious Soldier Boy, Steve raised his shield.
"After gaining superpowers, you should have become an even better person."
Steve felt a pang of emotion; fighting Soldier Boy, Stevehad a momentary illusion that he was fighting an evil version of himself.
But fortunately, Steve won.
After this battle, Steve's conviction to be a good person became even stronger!
Chapter 257 Return
Steve's fighting was clean and decisive, defeating Soldier Boy.
Su Yi still wanted to see a more intense battle between the two to trigger Unbreakable Heart's passive ability.
He didn't expect it to end so quickly.
The Superheroes of this World were a bit underwhelming.
To be precise, their individual strengths were decent, but their mentalities were terrible.
In the battle between Homelander and Thor, Homelanderwas initially shocked by Thor's power, and in the end, Thorbeat him to the point of questioning his life.
Soldier Boy's abilities were not weak, but he completely lacked Steve's conviction and fighting spirit.
Therefore, the outcome of the battle between Steve and Soldier Boy was decided before it even began; it was merely a matter of how much time it would take.
If Soldier Boy's abilities were stronger and Steve was in a tough fight, with the boost from Unbreakable Heart, Stevewould grow stronger as he fought and would definitely win.
Even without Unbreakable Heart, Steve would still achieve victory through his tenacious fighting spirit and experience.
The other Superheroes felt a bit unsatisfied, "That was too fast."
"Indeed, Soldier Boy couldn't beat Captain."
"I think the other guy's shield looks better, Steve, why don't you consider taking his shield?"
Steve looked speechless; these people really were just here to watch the show.
As for changing shields?
Steve had no such intention.
His own round shield was so much better to use; its area was larger than Soldier Boy's shield, and he could throw it and have it fly back.
Clearly, Soldier Boy's shield was not very practical and was more for decoration.
"I don't want to change shields."
"Su Yi, inject him with the serum to remove his superpower."
After the injection, Soldier Boy also lost his superpower.
The previous strongest Superhero was now a thing of the past.
With the two strongest Superheroes in this World dealt with, the mission could be said to be perfectly resolved.
The only problem was that the other Superheroes had no chance to act.
Carol had prepared for a major battle, but her heroic efforts were not needed.
The so-called strongest Superheroes were too easily defeated.
The other Superheroes were even less worth engaging.
Starlight found Butcher, "Butcher, where's Hughie?"
"He's knocked out, resting under a tree outside."
Starlight went to find Hughie, while Butcher took the opportunity to find Steve.
"It looks like you're a team, who exactly are you? And what's your purpose?"
Steve replied, "We come from another Universe and are Superheroes from that Universe. We use our abilities to do good things, to protect everyone, and to be good people."
"When we learned about the situation in this World, we decided to come and help deal with these Superheroeswho abuse their powers."
"I know you don't trust Superheroes, but that's alright. We'll be leaving soon."
"There are still many people who abuse their powers, and we can't deal with all of them. However, we can provide the formula for the serum that removes abilities."
Su Yi also took the opportunity to say, "Butcher, not all Superheroes are bad people. What determines whether a person is good or bad is not their ability, but their character."
"If you can educate that child well, he will become a good person. If you cannot educate him well, you will only let him grow into the next Homelander."
Butcher naturally knew who Su Yi was talking about, "Who are you? What do you know?"
"Who we are isn't important, Butcher."
Su Yi took out the serum and the formula and handed them to Butcher.
"I'm giving you these because I hope you can do the right thing, and be a good person."
Butcher gave a sinister smile, "Good person? I'm not suited to be a good person."
"Then, at least don't be a bad person; go deal with these scumbags."
Butcher still took the serum and the formula.
In any case, this serum was still very useful.
Soon after, Starlight returned with Hughie.
Hughie had just woken up, still a bit dizzy and in pain.
Looking at the defeated Soldier Boy and the numerous Superheroes in battle suits, Hughie also felt a little intimidated.
Hughie was originally a weak person, but it was because of his girlfriend's death that he saw the true evil face of Superheroes.
In this process, Hughie slowly transformed, becoming more courageous.
"They..."
Steve had heard the story and admired Hughie, so he couldn't help but look at him a couple of times.
Unfortunately, his abilities could not be shared or granted; otherwise, Steve would have considered sharing his abilities with Hughie.
"Hughie, you did well. Remember, being a good person is far more important than being a Superhero."
With the battle against Soldier Boy over, there was no need to linger here.
The other Superheroes, apart from Victoria Neuman, were generally of average skill.
With Butcher's abilities, he could definitely handle them.
Moreover, with the serum in hand, there was an added layer of security.
"The two strongest Superheroes have been dealt with; it seems we don't need to stay in this World anymore."
Peter was a bit bored, "Is that it? I thought there would be a big battle, but in the end, I didn't even get a chance to show up."
Su Yi teased, "Oh, do you like fighting that much? Perhaps I can consider sending you to a Universe full of monsters."
"A World full of creatures that look like spiders and lay eggs to hatch Little Spiders."
Peter's abilities came from a genetically modified spider, and he had once wondered if he would turn into a spider monster.
Now, hearing Su Yi say this, he was instantly disgusted.
"No, no, no, I don't want to go to a World like that; it's just too disgusting. Just thinking about it gives me goosebumps all over."
Of course, the others had no objections; they just treated it as coming to watch a show.
They watched a performance of Thor battling Homelanderand Captain battling Soldier Boy.
One could only say that the performance was a bit too short.
"There are still many Superheroes who abuse their powers, but we cannot stay in this World for too long, so we'll leave them to you."
"Butcher, you left your family, which led to your brother's tragic death, and you've been living in regret ever since. If you can't teach that child well, you will regret it even more."
Butcher was very wary, suspecting that these people's purpose was related to that child.
After all, that child was the first naturally born Superhero, possessing the same abilities as Homelander, and definitely had the potential to surpass Homelander.
Butcher remained silent, not responding.
"Hughie, Starlight loves you because you are a kind person, not because of anything else, do you understand?"
Su Yi gave a few simple pointers. As for what changes would happen to the fate of these characters, Su Yi was not sure.
In any case, as long as it provided Destiny Points, that was enough.
With the dungeon easily cleared, Su Yi prepared to withdraw with his team.
"Everyone, it's time for us to go back. Loki, do you want to stay?"
Loki showed a sincere smile, "No, I want to go back."
Chapter 258 Bucky is still alive
Su Yi returned to the Marvel world with his people.
The process was a bit boring, but the harvest was considerable.
He obtained 50 million Destiny Points, and besides that, there were some miscellaneous rewards.
So many rewards surprised Su Yi.
When did the System become so generous?
Su Yi looked at the System's evaluation and understood.
After all, the appearance of Su Yi and others affected the entire world.
Homelander and Soldier Boy, two powerful superpowered individuals, were dealt with.
Vought International's conspiracy was exposed, and the entire company ceased to exist.
Even the people from The Boys obtained the formula for a serum that eliminates superpowers.
From then on, the troubles caused by superpowered individuals would be reduced by about half.
Su Yi didn't bother to care about too much; with the rewards in hand, Su Yi didn't hesitate and used them directly.
"System, raise all attributes to Lv8!"
Previously, Su Yi had absorbed the energy of nuclear reactions and even approached the Sun to absorb solar energy, raising his Energy attribute to Lv8.
Now, it was time to raise Intelligence, Strength, Speed, Stamina, and Spirit.
With all attributes reaching Lv8, Su Yi felt an unprecedented power.
Breaking through a realm would allow him to challenge masters of that realm.
Unfortunately, this was Marvel, not a fantasy world.
There were too few opponents who could be evenly matched with Su Yi.
However, this was also good.
Su Yi was not a battle maniac; without battles, he could chat about life and discuss ideals with the girls—wouldn't that be wonderful?
Back at the Hellfire Club, everyone dispersed as they should.
Su Yi, however, called out to Tony and Steve.
Su Yi called these two for Bucky's matter.
Initially, Su Yi had spoiled some information to Tony.
Tony also wanted revenge, but he had no leads.
Now, the Insight Project was about to be implemented.
S.H.I.E.L.D. alone might not be enough, so Su Yi planned to invite Tony and Steve as two external reinforcements.
This was not only to deal with HYDRA but also to resolve the hatred between the two of them.
Steve was extremely puzzled, not knowing what important matter Su Yi wanted to discuss with him.
The three sat at a table, and Su Yi spoke, "Tony, Steve, I have an important matter to discuss with you."
Steve hadn't realized the seriousness of the matter yet. "What is it?"
"This matter concerns a person, Bucky Barnes."
When Steve heard that name, he instantly became restless.
When Steve woke up in this world, besides an aged Peggy, there was no one familiar left.
He also frequently visited museums, saw his past, and missed Bucky, who was missing.
Now, hearing that name from Su Yi's mouth, Steve became excited.
"Bucky? What does this have to do with him?"
Tony, on the other hand, recalled some things—Su Yi's spoilers back then.
Later, because he couldn't find Bucky's whereabouts, and with many urgent matters at hand, the issue was left unresolved.
Now that Su Yi brought it up again, there must be a lead.
"Bucky didn't die that year; instead, he was captured by HYDRA, brainwashed, and transformed into the Winter Soldier."
"Over the years, he had no memory, no self. Under HYDRA's control, he served HYDRA."
Steve was usually composed, but when it concerned Bucky, Steve could no longer sit still.
"Bucky is still alive, and he became one of HYDRA's people? How is that possible? Wasn't HYDRA completely destroyed?"
Su Yi explained, "HYDRA was indeed destroyed, but not all of HYDRA's people died."
"At that time, a group of scientists were recruited and absorbed into S.H.I.E.L.D. These people hid, developed, and grew within S.H.I.E.L.D., becoming the new HYDRA."
Steve was incredibly angry; he had paid a huge price to destroy HYDRA, yet HYDRA was still thriving in this era.
"Wait, if HYDRA is hidden within S.H.I.E.L.D., then is Nick still trustworthy?"
"He is still trustworthy."
Steve continued to press, "If we eliminate HYDRA, will we be able to find Bucky?"
"Before you find Bucky, you need to be mentally prepared. He was brainwashed and doesn't remember you at all. Moreover, he did many things, including assassinating Tony's parents."
Steve looked at Tony, and his mood instantly plummeted.
It turned out that his good friend Howard was killed by Bucky.
And Tony was right in front of him.
Steve really couldn't figure out how to face Tony.
However, Steve absolutely couldn't just ignore it.
If he wanted to find an excuse, Steve could find one, but Steve didn't do so.
"Tony, I..."
When Tony first learned this news, he was incredibly angry, wishing he could search the entire world to find Bucky and exact his revenge.
But after experiencing so much, Tony had let go of a lot.
Now, Tony had already guessed Su Yi's purpose.
"You called us here hoping I would give up on revenge, right?"
"That's my thought. The root cause of your parents' tragedy is still HYDRA; they are the true culprits."
Tony nodded, "HYDRA must be eliminated."
Steve was originally in a difficult position; on one side was his good brother Bucky, and on the other side were his friend Howard and Tony, father and son.
Fortunately, Tony was willing to give up on revenge; otherwise, he would have had to do something extreme for Bucky.
"Thank you, Tony."
Tony shifted his hatred to HYDRA. "How do we deal with HYDRA?"
"HYDRA is preparing to implement the Insight Project, and they will eliminate all obstacles for this plan."
"What you need to do is wait for Nick's command. At the critical moment, completely destroy the Insight Project and capture all of HYDRA's people."
In the past, Steve would definitely want to capture all of HYDRA.
However, Bucky was also considered one of HYDRA's people and had done things for HYDRA.
When the information was exposed, Bucky would also face sanctions and punishment.
Steve was pondering how to rescue Bucky.
Su Yi had watched the movie and knew Steve's inner thoughts.
Bucky's problem was very serious and had to be handled carefully.
"Steve, I know you're planning to rescue Bucky, but you'd best not do that for now."
Steve became anxious, "I can't abandon Bucky."
"My idea is to expose the Winter Soldier's existence, let the Winter Soldier truly die. As for Bucky, find a place for him to settle down."
"Faked death?"
"Yes, faked death. As for where he goes, we'll arrange that later."
Steve's heart was incredibly excited; Bucky was still alive.
That was enough.
Su Yi's goal had also been achieved; he originally thought that both sides would part unhappily.
However, Su Yi didn't expect Tony to make a concession, which made everything much smoother.
After discussing business, Tony was supposed to leave, but he was in a somewhat bad mood.
"Su, do you have time? Let's have a couple of drinks together."
"Of course, I have time."
Chapter 259 Researching Space Gems
Su Yi drank with Tony for a while and continued to advise him.
After a round of drinks, Bucky's matter was settled.
After Su Yi sent Tony back, he began his Time Variance Authority plan.
He had successively experienced the Chitauri invasion and even visited the Black Robe World.
Su Yi also took the opportunity to rest.
Besides resting, Su Yi had a very important task: researching the Space Stone.
After the Island War, Su Yi acquired the Space Stone.
Now, he could finally study it properly.
In the original works, the setting of the Infinity Stones felt a bit chaotic.
Some settings stated that the Infinity Stones were only effective in their own Universe, and would lose their power in other parallel Universes.
Therefore, at the Time Variance Authority, the Infinity Stones were as useless as ordinary stones.
In the What If...? animated series, Ultron, with all six Infinity Stones, directly invaded a parallel Universe.
Su Yi didn't overthink it, as parallel Universes were too far away from him.
Su Yi still planned to first see what abilities the Infinity Stones could unleash in his current Universe.
Su Yi felt the immense energy contained within the Infinity Stones; this energy was very special and incredibly powerful.
Using this energy to open portals was just the most basic method of use.
This was the Space Stone, so its abilities would naturally not be weak.
Before long, Su Yi had discovered many ways to use it.
"Space Teleportation, Space Barrier, Space Imprisonment, Space Shattering..."
In just one hour, Su Yi had developed multiple uses.
However, Su Yi was not satisfied with merely using the Space Stone; he intended to research it more deeply.
To avoid any mishaps, Su Yi decided to leave Midgard and conduct experiments in the Universe.
If he messed up, not only his Villa would suffer, but the entire city might be in danger.
Arriving in the Universe, at the edge of the Solar System, Su Yi was completely unaffected by the cold environment.
"It's time to begin the research."
Su Yi landed on a planet and began to experience the Space Stone's abilities.
Previously, in the Villa, Su Yi dared not act too recklessly.
Now, Su Yi could use the Space Stone with confidence.
What Su Yi wanted to try most was Space Shattering.
This skill had astonishing destructive power.
Su Yi only experimented with a single blade of grass, and the result was astonishing.
However, Su Yi was still not satisfied. Now, Su Yi intended to unleash his abilities on an even larger target.
"Space Shattering!"
In an instant, space twisted, and then the meteor, which was as large as a building, immediately disintegrated.
A killing move, a deadly killing move.
Unpredictable, unavoidable.
"It's too strong. Perhaps I can use this move to directly take down Thanos."
"It's a pity I didn't research the Space Stone back then."
Su Yi calmed down, placed the Space Stone in front of him, and then proceeded to the next step of his experiment.
The next step was to prepare to absorb the Space Stone's energy.
With such pure energy, Su Yi was very certain that if he absorbed all the energy from the Space Stone, he would definitely be able to break his energy attribute through to Lv10.
Of course, Su Yi did not intend to absorb all of it, only some, to see what effect it would have on him.
Su Yi cautiously absorbed the energy and instantly felt that something was wrong.
This energy was indeed very pure, but it was not so easy to absorb.
"Ultimately, you are just energy. It's perfectly normal for me to absorb you."
Su Yi struggled with the Space Stone and finally absorbed a tiny bit of energy.
Even this tiny bit of energy was very difficult to devour.
If he were to absorb all of it, it would take at least several years.
Su Yi did not consider these things, but continued to absorb this energy.
As the Space Stone's energy was absorbed into his body, Su Yi's energy attribute slowly increased.
In addition, there was another major change.
"[Alert: Detecting that the host is devouring the Space Stone's energy. Teleportation ability is evolving...]"
For the Teleportation ability to evolve, it meant that the absorbed energy was not enough.
Since that was the case, Su Yi had no choice but to step on the gas and continue absorbing the Space Stone's energy.
The more Su Yi absorbed, the more he could feel the power of the Infinity Stones.
He was also very fortunate that he hadn't rashly tried to absorb the Phoenix Force; otherwise, if the Phoenix Forceresisted, he and Jean Grey would both be in danger.
As the Space Stone's energy surged wildly into his body, Su Yi's understanding of the Space Stone grew deeper.
Finally, Su Yi sensed the Space Stone's origin.
This primordial energy was supreme, immensely powerful, and incredibly terrifying.
The moment Su Yi perceived it, he also understood the origin and abilities of the Infinity Stones in this World.
The Infinity Stones originated from Infinity, one of the Five Great Deities. When Infinity died, his power dispersed into various parallel Universes.
In different Universes, combined with the Universe's rules, they formed that Universe's unique Infinity Stones.
These Infinity Stones could unleash their most powerful strength in their own Universe, and they could also be effective in parallel Universes.
After all, the energy within the Infinity Stones was not fake.
Moreover, it contained the Infinity Force, which was even more powerful than the Universe itself.
What Su Yi was currently absorbing was the energy of the Infinity Stones. If Su Yi could absorb the Infinity Force, then he might become one of the Five Great Deities.
"So that's how it is."
After understanding the Space Stone, Su Yi did not attempt to touch the Stone's primordial energy, the Infinity Force.
This Infinity Force should be on the same level as the Phoenix Force, or even stronger.
After all, Infinity was one of the Five Great Deities.
Su Yi's current goal was still to evolve his Teleportation ability first.
Su Yi was very much looking forward to seeing how powerful his Teleportation would be after evolving.
Finally, the energy absorption was complete, and Su Yi's Teleportation ability also evolved.
Su Yi closed his eyes, sensing this ability, and indeed, the change was significant.
Su Yi could now teleport much further.
And that wasn't all; Su Yi sensed other dimensions.
Although very faint and distant, Su Yi could feel other dimensions.
Being able to sense them meant he could cross over, he could teleport to other dimensions.
Su Yi thought about it for a moment and did not rush to try.
Teleporting to other dimensions sounded very interesting, but it was actually very dangerous.
The Seven Dimensional Lords—Cyttorak, Shuma-Gorath, Vishanti, Dormammu, Mephisto, Nightmare, and Chthon—were all very powerful.
If he teleported there, he would probably be directly giving himself away.
Su Yi knew one truth: if you don't court death, you won't die.
Instead of courting death, it was better to go find girls.
Su Yi opened his eyes, ending his practice for the day.
The Space Stone was indeed a good item.
Absorbing the Space Stone's energy allowed his skills to evolve.
According to the system's prompt, if Su Yi absorbed the Infinity Force, his skills could evolve again.
After evolving again, Su Yi would be able to teleport to parallel Universes.
However, the current Su Yi had no intention of going to parallel Universes.
After all, going to other Universes didn't seem like much fun.
"Forget it, that's enough for today. Another day, I'll go borrow the Time Stone from Sorcerer Ancient One and see if I can absorb the Time Stone's energy."
Su Yi stood up and teleported back to the Villa.
Chapter 260 Carol Leaves
Su Yi returned to the Villa, but Carol was not there.
Su Yi knew where Carol had gone; she must have gone to find her good friend, Maria Rambeau.
Carol had been away from the World for nearly 20 years, so it was natural for her to want to see her good friend upon her return.
With nothing else to do, Su Yi went to find Tony.
He had a few drinks with Tony last night, and today, he needed Tony's help to upgrade his communication device.
Su Yi found Tony, who had already sobered up from his drunken state.
Seeing Su Yi appear, Tony knew it couldn't be good news.
"Why are you here again?"
"I'm here for you to upgrade my communication device; you already promised."
Su Yi could actually do it himself, but with Tony, the handyman, around, why bother doing it himself?
Wouldn't it be wonderful to leave things to Tony and let him go flirt with girls?
Tony remembered; he had indeed promised to do this.
"I remember, but I can't do it now; I feel terrible."
Tony got drunk last night, mainly because he was drinking with Su Yi.
With Su Yi's physique, he could drink a thousand cups without getting drunk; even ten more wouldn't be his match.
Su Yi wasn't in a hurry to modify the communication device.
A day's delay wouldn't affect much.
Carol wouldn't stay for more than half a month this time, so a week of rest was still acceptable.
"Alright, then, wait until you have time to make the modifications."
Tony just wanted to lie down a bit longer at the moment; he had no interest in anything else.
Carol stayed at Maria's house for two days. After such a long time apart, Maria had aged a lot, and Maria's daughter, Monica, had grown up and was no longer the little girl she once was.
After two days, Carol returned.
Carol's mood was rather low. She remained young, but Maria had grown old.
Fortunately, Carol was quite clear-headed in her thoughts and didn't dwell on it too much.
Carol knew that she possessed power and a longer lifespan. These gifts from Heaven had to be made meaningful.
Carol decided to dedicate more time to helping more people.
Upon her return, Carol decided it was time to leave.
"Su, I've decided to leave in two days."
Su Yi was a bit surprised. She had just returned from Maria's, so why was she leaving already?
"Why are you suddenly leaving?"
"The World is safe with your protection, but there are many Planets in the Universe that have no one to protect them."
Su Yi knew Carol's grand goal and had no intention of stopping her.
"I absolutely support you, but you might have to stay a few more days."
"Regarding the communication device, Tony needs a bit of time to modify and upgrade it. Wait until it's finished before you leave."
Carol knew the importance of the communication device. If Thanos came again, Su Yi and the others could notify Carolin time.
Besides that, Carol and Su Yi's relationship was now very close.
With the communication device, they could also keep in touch frequently.
"Then I'll wait a few more days."
Su Yi reached out and pulled Carol into his arms, "I don't want you to leave."
Carol had similar thoughts in her heart.
If she didn't have such abilities and wasn't aware of the situation in the Universe, she would have stayed.
"I'll come back often in the future."
Su Yi knew that Carol's "often" probably wouldn't be that frequent.
Last time she left, she was gone for over a decade.
"Often? Is that once a year, or once every three to five years?"
Carol hadn't considered this question either.
"I'm not sure. Whenever I have time, I'll come back. I'll try to come back once every two or three years."
Carol said that, but no one could say for sure how long it would actually be before she returned.
Carol lived a normal life for another two days, and then Tony finally finished making the communicator.
Su Yi and Carol went to Tony's Villa together.
Tony was drinking coffee, waiting for Su Yi to arrive.
"Tony, how is it?"
"It's done."
Looking at Su Yi and Carol, Tony began his introduction.
"This is the new communicator. With it, you can make video calls. And the delay is very low; no matter where you are in the Universe, it's only one or two seconds."
"That amazing?"
"This is Kree communication technology, upgraded slightly."
Carol looked at Tony's masterpiece, very satisfied.
Carol's original modification of the pager was also because the difficulty of modification was relatively low.
If Carol had to modify the communication device herself, she might not have been able to do it.
"Tony, no wonder Su often praises you, saying you're a genius. You really are very clever."
"Back then, I only managed to modify the pager using Kreetechnology, barely able to send a message."
Tony was naturally pleased to be praised by Carol.
"Kree technology is indeed very advanced, but it's not a difficult task for me."
Carol and Su Yi received the communication device, which meant Carol's departure date was approaching.
These past few days, Su Yi spent most of his time with Carol.
This was precisely because Carol was about to leave.
His other Hong Yan didn't make a fuss about Su Yispending time with Carol; they all continued with their own lives.
The two of them took the device and left Tony's house together.
"Carol, when do you plan to leave?"
"Today I'll say goodbye to Nick, and tomorrow I'll depart."
"Tonight, I'll prepare a surprise for you."
Although Carol didn't know what the surprise was, she didn't care.
"I don't need any surprises. I just want to say a proper goodbye to you."
Carol's meaning was clear, and Su Yi, of course, also wanted to say a proper goodbye.
After all, this farewell might mean not seeing each other for two or three years.
Carol made a call and invited Nick out.
Carol didn't have many friends, and Nick was one of them.
They also shared a common goal: Nick was dedicated to protecting this World, while Carol was dedicated to protecting the Universe.
Carol said a few simple words, gave a dedicated communication phone to Nick Fury, and then left.
Carol returned to the Villa, but Su Yi hadn't come back yet.
Carol didn't know where Su Yi had gone, but she patiently waited for him to return.
After a while, Su Yi teleported back to the Villa.
"Carol, you're back?"
Carol was full of fighting spirit, "Today, we must determine a winner."
Su Yi immediately felt his legs go a bit weak. There was no way around it; Carol's combat power was too strong.
"Wait, look at this first."
Looking at what Su Yi took out, Carol was a bit surprised.
"A ring?"
"I know you're going to save the Universe. I won't try to keep you."
"What I want to say is, I love you, and I will wait for you to come back."
Carol took the ring and felt its unusual nature.
"Why is it only my ring?"
Su Yi explained, "My situation is special. If I were to wear rings, I'd have to wear two or three on each finger."
"Moreover, this isn't an ordinary ring. This is a ring crafted from Uru alloy, containing the blessings of Odin and Queen Frigga. For now, there's only this one."
Only then did Carol realize that this was Su Yi's surprise.
For this surprise, Su Yi had made a trip to Asgard, all for this one ring.
