Ron's Shattered Young Heart
However, this seems to be an unfinished story.
It's just a starting point.
"Besides," Ron asked, "Is there any other way to check?"
"Most hypnosis, control, and memory alterations can be detected through changes in brainwaves," Hughie said. "This can detect almost 99% of signs of Mind Stone intrusion."
"There's still 1% left." Ron's eyes widened.
"Yes, but only Kate Dunlap, the professor of the Mind Stone Training course, and another being lurking in the shadows, undetected until now." Hughie's expression turned serious. "This being can leave a strong suggestion in your mind that everything in reality is false and that only by destroying it can you return to reality. Starlight and Stormfront, they were also victims."
Everyone except Ron looked serious.
They all considered one possibility: Homelander's descent into darkness during the mission was also guided by this existence.
Kitty Pryde chimed in directly, "What about Homelander? I mean, he's so strong, he wouldn't..."
"No." Hughie shook his head. "Homelander and Soldier Boy have incredibly comprehensive defenses. They can withstand attacks from all the weapons in human history, even on vulnerable parts like the retina and ear canals. They are also fire-resistant, cold-resistant, acid-resistant, and electrical-resistant, immune to radiation, viruses, and toxins, and have extremely high resistance to Mind Stone abilities."
"Even when faced with the most destructive attack from the Mindstorm among the Mind Stone, they can ignore it and, unlike others, do not fall into a permanent dream. Only the Mindstorm itself and Mind Control Kate Dunlap can break free."
Brainwave Amplifier!
What if we had Brainwave Amplifier?
Kitty Pryde's pupils contracted.
Loki noticed the change in her mood.
"Damn it, let's talk later, I have to go to class." Hughie glanced at his arm and then disappeared.
"He left already?" Ron was speechless. "I was hoping to ask him about Homelander."
"Because he has already achieved his goal." Loki did not choose to hide it. As a master of illusion magic and an expert in using Mind Stone and spiritual power, he naturally understood how terrifying it would be to achieve what Hughie had said.
( In Chat Room, isolated from the Harry Potter Movie World and Novel Worlds, where time is relatively frozen.)
("Sure enough, he was scared." Madison nodded. "In the movie, he could control Hawkeye with the Mind Stone and still get away by hitting him on the head.")
"What?" Ron asked, puzzled.
Ralph suddenly realized, "He's afraid we'll be targeted by the mastermind, just like Stormfront and the others."
The others also realized what was going on, except for Ron, who exclaimed, "What's going on?"
Loki felt like spitting out a mouthful of blood. As a rival, Ron had performed well, but as an ally, this guy was simply—
Ralph patiently explained, "Think about our mission. We're starting to get somewhere. Homelander's descent into darkness is very likely caused by that mastermind."
"A mission, huh?" Ron nodded.
"Is everything settled?" Frenchie asked.
Hughie nodded.
"It's too much trouble," Frenchie complained. "Why can't we just access the backend and monitor them through a smart assistant to collect their personality data? That way, even if brainwaves can't detect it, we can still use the personality data to deduce whether they've been brainwashed in time."
Thinking about this, Frenchie became increasingly angry.
"That damn [The Boys Designer] actually respects so-called privacy! That damn libertarian! That damn [The Sage], her brain must have been fucked by Ma!"
Hughie quipped, "Are you really French?"
"I am America in America," Frenchie shrugged.
On the other hand, after Loki brought it up, Katy also shared her guess.
"Is this feasible?" Peter asked. "I'm not doubting the existence of Brainwave Amplifier, but I'm saying that even if they are enhanced, is it really possible for someone to hypnotize [Homelander]?"
"It's feasible," Katy said. "Professor X could use it to kill or hypnotize everyone on Earth in an instant."
Loki suddenly looked up. "Then how did you end up like this? Mutants should enjoy privileges."
Magneto's expression turned somewhat grim. "Because Charles is too noble to use, even when he sees his own people entering the lab as guinea pigs."
"I believed his nonsense, that's why—"
But he had just experienced the deaths of his wife and daughters in front of him, so he wasn't completely consumed by resentment towards Charles.
"Wait, [Anti-Brainwave Helmet]."
"It is the nemesis of Mind Stone!"
"You mean—" Loki realized the implications and grinned, revealing his bright white teeth, "The key to victory is already in our hands?"
"It was made by the Soviets, and I've figured out how it works." Magneto faded slightly. "But its materials are too complex; I need some time."
He knew that although his ability was to manipulate magnetic fields, perhaps due to a bias in his personal awakening of his abilities, he was more adept at controlling metals, especially iron.
He had some difficulty with non-magnetic materials.
[Anti-Brainwave Helmet] Putting aside its intricate structure, its material is not entirely metal, but a mixture of metal and other materials, which would require him to spend a lot of time replicating.
This is why Magneto's helmet couldn't be repaired immediately after being destroyed by Phoenix in the movie, and Apocalypse had to make him another one.
"Do you know the proportions?" Loki's smile froze. "For example, give it to Supersonic High School and ask them for help."
Magneto shook his head. "I can only replicate and transform things little by little using my abilities. I don't know which material is called which name; I only know its corresponding magnetic field. By shaping the corresponding magnetic field, I can change the matter."
"You can turn lead into gold!" Ron exclaimed in surprise.
Magneto shook his head. "I'm not changing the atomic structure, but rather modifying the magnetic field, for example, to give iron the materiality of aluminum. It is still iron."
"It needs my abilities to constantly power it."
"How long?" Loki asked.
He didn't seem to be in a hurry.
Because he didn't place all his hopes on this; he also planned to see the "Mind Control" ability in this afternoon's anti-hypnosis class, find the mastermind behind it all, and lend his divine power to "Homelander."
After all, they are both Mind Stone abilities. Although the other party is stronger, one is purely spiritual and Mind Stone, while he is driven by divine power and influenced by magic. Perhaps his skills are more advanced.
Just like in the movie, Thor can share his power, allowing a group of children to temporarily possess the power of Thor.
Loki can do the same.
With his divine power, Homelander might never have turned evil.
"One month." Magneto frowned. "That's after I've removed some unnecessary structures."
Soviet technology was crude and unsophisticated.
The light industry is underdeveloped.
Therefore, the replica of the [Anti-Brainwave Helmet] can be reduced in size by nearly half without affecting its effectiveness.
Even so, it will still take a month.
Too many things can happen in a month.
"How about we exchange for 7 [Compound V] first?" The Invisible Woman raised her hand.
Ron, who was used to being poor, replied instinctively, "Where would we get the money?"
Everyone looked at Ron's hand.
"My Venom?" He raised his hand and looked at it.
"Our first lesson in the support class is weapons class," the Invisible Woman said. "Professor Marvin mentioned that their Armed Forces Department is paying one million US dollars per gram for your Venom, which is equivalent to 700,000 information points."
"[Compound V] How many information points?" Ron's eyes turned into Galleons symbols.
"700,000," the Invisible Woman said.
"Me, me."
Seeing that Ron seemed about to faint, Ralph quickly supported him.
Magneto checked the time. "We have 30 minutes left before our martial arts class. You can ask the professor yourself."
In weapons class.
"My name is Breast Milk Marvin. This is not a nickname. If you are interested in why I have this name, you can ask my deceased mother."
"."
"Look, this beautiful 'girl' is 184 centimeters tall, taller than some of you," Breast Milk kissed the long gun in her hand, "Metal Eater MX."
"An anti-tank sniper rifle (Barrett M82A1) that was improved during the Persian Gulf War and was said to be able to destroy tanks from a distance of 2,000 meters."
"The latter force alone can shatter some cheap safety helmets."
"What's even more terrifying is that it also has a rapid-fire capability."
"He's practically the nemesis of most Superman."
"Just aim it at the eyes and ear canals."
"I suggest aiming for the eyes. That way, even if the bullet deviates from its trajectory, hitting the forehead will knock the opponent unconscious, making them completely at your mercy."
"Of course, only those with superpowers can use it."
"."
"Remember, the key to withstanding impact is not suppression, but absorption."
"."
"Get out of class dismissed."
"Professor Marvin." Ron caught up with the breast milk in front of him.
"You—" The breast milk looked at Ron's hand.
With his Spider-Sense, Ron keenly sensed the mother's gaze. "Yes, it's Venom. Can I trade it for seven vials of [Compound V]?"
[Compound V] has always been in high demand but short supply.
Aside from the military and Superman schools, ordinary citizens who want to buy these items have to enter a lottery and wait a long time.
Only Super High School can purchase them directly.
But this will take three to seven business days.
Ron wanted to get through the Armaments Department quickly.
"I want to have a stronger body so that I can use weapons that only Superman can use."
"For example, today's Metal Eater MX."
"For most innate superpowered individuals whose physical strength is similar to that of ordinary people, they simply cannot control it."
"Okay." The breast milk nodded.
Then he took out the test tube directly, saying, "This is specially made, specifically for your highly corrosive Venom."
"The extra will be deposited into your account."
"As for [Compound V], seeing Ron's longing gaze, Breast Milk added, 'It'll be delivered to your dorm tonight, the latest model, the oral version.'"
"If you want to specify a flavor, like cola or fried chicken, then it will have to be tomorrow or the day after."
"No need to specify the flavor," Ron quickly said.
"What? We've lost contact with Breast Milk? He was attending classes normally?"
Purple lightning instantly filled the entire cave.
If the superhuman who communicated with the Stormfront from afar were there, he would probably be lying on the ground convulsing like a skinned frog.
"He must have been brainwashed." The masochistic Tyke Knight walked in, looking regretful.
Of course, whether he regrets not being electrocuted because he came in late, or whether he regrets losing an awakened one, only he himself knows.
"But why don't you go find [Soldier Boy]? As far as I know, you two have a long-standing relationship."
"The first All-Out Heroes High Tide Meeting in 1952 was founded by you."
"It's a pity, I'm still too young."
"I never had the chance to taste your flavor."
As he spoke, he observed the Stormfront with extraordinary insight.
"I get it. Is it because Homelander's blond hair and blue eyes better fit your image of the Aryan Superman? Or is it because your son is less likely to satisfy you sexually than your father? I understand, you can all fly! You like being in the sky!"
"Shut up! You pervert, you even love digging into psychological holes," Stormfront, taking off her clothes. "I have something more suitable here."
Tyke Knight frowned. "Your initiative won't make me take my Star Orb."
Crackling sounds!
a~
Tyke Knight looked down at the spot where he had been electrocuted and smiled.
"Why is there a PE class before the anti-hypnosis class?" Ron was a little annoyed. He couldn't wait for the afternoon to participate in the anti-hypnosis training and then use the mental space opened up by the [Spell Card] and the [Legilimency] to achieve excellent results.
Then, 'inadvertently', I learned about Homelander's results.
"This is for our own good." Emma approached, a knowing smile on her face. Seeing that Ron genuinely didn't understand, she said, "You don't actually think it's just a test of strength, speed, reflexes, and defense, do you?"
"[Eternal Knight] accidentally damaged his female companion's spine, resulting in paralysis of her lower body."
"[Ice Princess] frozen her boyfriend's genitals."
"The Viper poisoned her own husband."
"There are many, many more such examples, all because some Superman lose control when they are 'happy' and secrete gases or liquids that are toxic to both humans and Superman at that time."
"[The Stinger] is the best example. She herself didn't even know that thorns would grow in places that her fingers couldn't reach at that time."
Ron blushed, unsure of what to say.
"You're not a virgin yet, are you?" Emma looked Ron up and down. "If you pass the physical test, I can help you get a boyfriend."
"Really!" Ron coughed. "I mean, isn't this a bad idea? We haven't even confessed to each other yet, and—"
"Stop," Emma said speechlessly. "I can only maintain a purely physical relationship with you until I have a boyfriend."
"Ah~" Ron's heart broke.
What is a purely physical relationship?
He wanted it, but felt a little awkward about it.
Emma misunderstood Ron's meaning. "I don't mean you're not good enough to be my boyfriend, but we need time to see if we get along in everyday life. It takes time to tell."
