Soldier Boy Lost Control
"The strongest?" Ryan murmured the unfamiliar yet familiar term.
The strongest in dreams vs. the strongest in reality
Will we win?
His gaze fell on the man who wasn't sitting on the top floor, but was sitting with the blonde girl whose hero name was "Mind Control".
We will win!
After slinking away from the Super the Seven's Tower that day, he woke up after a restless night and could sense a power within him that was even stronger than when he was at his peak.
He might actually be able to carry a plane with his bare hands like Superman in the comics, instead of cutting it in half.
"Your brother is watching you." Kate noticed Ryan's gaze and poked Li Lin's cheek.
"Ryan?" Li Lin didn't want to mention him; after his memories were awakened, he was a jinx.
Especially the way he acted when Li Lin was Ryan, even though he didn't remember, and when he was Homelander, it was disgusting.
Although a person's growth depends on their environment, the original Homelander is, after all, the core of the Boys Universe. Therefore, the original Homelander grew up in a normal family, still subconsciously inherited the bad habits of another version of himself.
For example, drinking milk, looking down on ordinary humans, being selfish and arrogant, etc.
Finally, Li Lin, who was about to experience driving a big car with a small pony, couldn't help but take over the role of Homelander (the body was still his own, so Ron recognized Li Lin's face).
"Let's guess who's in fourth place," Li Lin said.
"Fourth?" Kate's attention was diverted, and she looked at the screen.
Dr. Snake?
He's currently the only one flying in the front row.
[The Deep] has landed, and the cement pillars have been frozen into dust.
His abilities lie solely in defense and strength, and he is struggling to climb the snow-capped mountain.
Their speed was far slower than that of the three beings who were about to catch up: the Elastic Man, the Spider, and the Two-Face.
The barrier created by the [The Spider] melted away the snow and even the mountainside, allowing the gigantic [Stretcher Man] to easily cross it without much effort.
Later, the Iceman finally stopped obsessing over output and glided through the snow as if defying gravity. Although he was going uphill, it was as if he was sliding down a mountain peak. He may eventually surpass him.
As for the later [Strong Spider], he is a [The Deep] with a more agile body, sharper senses, and the ability to shoot Silk.
"[Dr. Snake] or [Iceman]."
Why do you think the Iceman is possible?
"He's moving forward the fastest right now."
"The answer," Li Lin deliberately drawled, looking at Kate's anxious expression, before continuing after a long pause, "Is wrong."
"Huh?" Kate almost threw herself into Li Lin's arms.
"Look."
She looked in the direction Li Lin pointed and saw the canyon of the fourth level. There was only one figure there, Dr. Snake, riding a tornado and flying above it.
"Doesn't this prove it even more?" Kate's words faltered.
Because she noticed it.
The blizzard created by Loki has spread into the canyon.
Therefore, the invisible figures gliding through the air were also vaguely revealed by the wind and snow.
"The Invisible Woman? She's fourth place?"
Kate was somewhat skeptical of her own judgment. "But even if she's faster than Dr. Snake, she can only..."
"Is invisibility all she can do?" Li Lin replied. "That was before she took [Compound V]. The way she's gliding through the air right now proves that her ability isn't just invisibility. The essence of her ability is creating a force field that allows her to become invisible."
"And this force field can be shaped into a barrier, a foothold, a weapon, or transformed into a shockwave."
"Do you think that Dr. Snake isn't attacking her because they have a good relationship? It's because he already knows that his interference is futile."
Dr. Snake, or Ralph, does indeed think that way.
Because he had tried it during training, and without using magic, simply using the ability to snake matter and manipulate it was indeed not enough to break through Susan's barrier.
While using the analyzer, the Sage One, on a whim, sent Susan her instructions on how to use her force field to her email address.
This allowed Susan to make the most of simple force field abilities.
The barriers they create are slippery and impervious to force, and they can also manipulate objects through the air using the force fields they create, blocking enemy attacks and immobilizing enemies, or carrying out long-range attacks.
In fact, theoretically she could fly at high speed using force fields, but the precision of her current abilities does not yet meet this requirement.
Ron's force field, being more suited to digesting corrosion, was unable to do this and thus could not learn the methods described in Susan's email.
But this also has its advantages.
On the shoulders of the Giant.
"Ron, are you alright?" Jordan asked.
"I could do this all day!" Ron said easily as he unfurled a lush green barrier that melted everything in front of him.
This is no exaggeration.
Because while he was setting up the barrier, he was also constantly 'feeding'.
In fact, he can now use his force field ability to get rid of breathing and the primitive way of sustaining life that is limited to the human body, such as eating with his mouth.
Theoretically speaking, even if he were thrown into space after the barrier was opened, he could survive the rays and various forms of radiation in space and live a long and healthy life.
"Then can you just dig a tunnel?"
Upon hearing Jordan's immediate response, Ron, who had just thought she was concerned about him, immediately deflated.
He said listlessly, "Okay."
"He said he can," Jordan said loudly to Emma, cupping his hands in a megaphone shape.
Despite no prior communication, Emma's figure shrank at a visible speed, and Jordan timely pulled Ron off her body.
In an instant, the Giant disappeared into the snowstorm, leaving only three barely perceptible dots.
Ron wanted to ask why he had to shrink, but at Jordan's prompting, he could only unfold the green screen and start digging a hole.
Ryan, watching from the stands, was sick of stupidity. "How could this guy be so stupid? If the Female Giant had kept her original size, it would have been much harder for him to dig the hole, and the hole would have been much more noticeable to fit the Giant's body."
"This is tantamount to helping the enemy dig."
"If it were a cave that fits a normal human body, it would be almost impossible for anyone to spot it in this snow-white landscape."
"How can he not understand such a simple principle?"
"Superheroes like your father, who excel in all aspects of morality, intelligence, and physical fitness, are naturally rare," [Soldier Boy] interjected. "However... no one has noticed what you said."
Ryan looked in the direction the "Soldier Boy" was pointing and spotted a red and blue figure.
It's Peter.
Peter specially spent information points to create this battle suit for himself.
Because he was injected with [Compound V] and also had a [Biokinetic Field], he could run on the thick snow. Relying on [Spider-Sense], he discovered a cave hidden under the snow.
"Oh~ Could it be that this is a test of observation skills?"
Peter made sure to cover the entrance when Peter entered.
Seeing this, Ryan tried to save face, saying, "My exact words were that almost no one would notice, not that no one would notice, yes! That's exactly it!"
Then, he abruptly changed the subject, saying, "Look! The Iceman has overtaken us and crossed the canyon."
Excluding Ron and his group who dug a hole underground and followed him in, and who weren't even caught on camera, as well as Ralph and the invisible Invisible Woman ahead.
Loki's decision to build a one-time ice bridge across the canyon to reach the seemingly endless lake was indeed a case of coming from behind; he at least surpassed the Deep, who was still carving ladders into the cliff face of the canyon.
Loki leaped into the lake, and the artificially swirling winds instantly transformed the lake's surface into a shimmering, irregular work of art.
The same applies to the entire 6.38 square kilometer lake.
The spectators on this side of the stands could feel the chill coming from the air.
The Invisible Woman gliding and flying above the lake, Ralph, and Ron, who are traveling through the underwater tunnel (Peter hasn't even gotten this far yet), needless to say.
"Loki."
They all mentioned this name without prior agreement.
The Invisible Woman slowed down because she needed to focus more on dispelling the cold.
Ralph is slightly better; his ability is incredibly bizarre, allowing him to transform low-temperature phenomena into pure white, crystalline snakes, which he then hurles from the sky.
Ron and his two companions were unharmed because they were underground, where the soil was more resistant to the low temperatures than the air, and Ron's force field also insulated them from some of the cold. Even Peter, who entered the frozen layer of the tunnel next, benefited somewhat from Ron's presence.
From Kate's perspective in the stands, Ralph's chances of winning have increased.
Her fair legs draped over his thighs, and she straddled Li Lin, staring intently at Li Lin. "Now my answer is more correct. Whether it's Iceman or Dr. Snake, I win."
As she spoke, her body continued to writhe, and Li Lin's body, which was even more powerful and had stronger desires than the dragons in fantasy novels, unconsciously reacted.
Kate quickly realized this and hurriedly prepared to sit back in her original seat, but then Li Lin pressed down on her shoulder and soared into the sky.
Their departure did not attract much attention.
Although Homelander and Mind Control were the ones who left, everyone present had close ties to the Super High School, or were students there, and they had encountered them quite often.
Just like how celebrities in Hong Kong used to go out and no one would watch them.
Everyone focused their attention more on the game.
However, this does not include [Black].
He had temporarily abandoned his plan to ambush the "Soldier Boy," but almost instantly realized that this was a good opportunity.
Because of his love for Japanese culture and his knowledge of the Three Kingdoms period, a dark thought unconsciously flashed through his mind: In ancient times, Cao Cao killed three wise men with one cannon shot; now, Homelander has killed his own husband with one cannon shot!
With that in mind, he began to take action.
How could one possibly attack the former strongest Superman, when even rinsing with an AK couldn't harm him in the slightest?
Using hypnotic gas?
This weakness had already been overcome in the Soviet Union's grueling research on it.
Psychological control?
However, [Mindstorm] can only render them unconscious for a moment.
This weakness was also overcome in the torment of that hell.
In this world, what is manifested is a comprehensive defense, both physical and psychological, that is in place from the very beginning.
Furthermore, Basil's use of the entire the Boys Universe as a computer to calculate the prototype of the [Biokinetic Field] that all [Compound V] superpowered beings in this world possessed, in order to replicate Superman's [Biokinetic Field], made him the first super life form that even all of humanity could not destroy.
Even if he is invincible, he still needs to breathe and control his body movements through nerves and electrical signals due to his outdated physical structure.
The Venom of the "The Spider," which can melt metal like aqua regia, reveals its true terror when it encounters a substance that cannot be corroded, such as the body of the "Soldier Boy."
A neurotoxin that can cause even the strongest Superman to lose their mind.
And this toxin is currently hidden in a small sticker.
The layered front is attached to the [black] elbow.
Thus, [Black]'s elbow transformed into a deadly poison. With just a casual touch, it detached from [Black]'s body and stuck to the back of the handsome man with a thick beard, carrying a heavy shield.
The Soldier Boy's pupils began to dilate.
A memory that shouldn't belong to him, or at least not to this world, flooded his brain along with his disordered nerves.
It was a room that exuded a serious and rigid military style.
The young man shouted excitedly to the old man, "Father, I have become the strongest human being, a real man, a real hero!"
The old man didn't smile; instead, he just sighed in disappointment, "Jansen, you took a shortcut. A real man never takes shortcuts."
"A shortcut?" The man was incredibly agitated. "I just... I just want your approval! Why do you never even look at me? Just because I was expelled from boarding school, you say I'm not good enough for your surname, that I've disappointed you?"
"I'd rather you fucking take off your belt and beat me up!"
But you did nothing!
The old man turned his head and said, "I really regret it, Jason. If I had taken you under my wing and trained you, you might not have become such a weak and whiny person."
"Me?" The man's expression changed. "I am the most powerful man in the world. When I come home, there are parades everywhere, and streamers are thrown to welcome me. Half the steel mills in the state belong to you. Don't tell me you didn't know that?"
"Get out." The old man got up and went upstairs.
"Father!" The man tried to follow, but only received a repeated command, "Get out! Get out of the Ax family's house!"
In reality, cheers erupted on the field when the Invisible Woman suddenly appeared at the finish line, replacing Ralph to become fourth.
[Soldier Boy] appears to have woken up and gets up from his seat.
But even Ryan, who was right next to him, didn't notice his dilated pupils, bulging veins, or the murmur he was making, "I am a real man, a real hero, worthy of the name Ax."
The golden light cannon on his chest was already faintly visible in the V-shaped breastplate. The superpower of the Silence Cannon, which he should have acquired after years of torment in the Soviet Union, was manifesting on him in this world.
Magneto suddenly turned his head, his body connected to the Dadi's magnetic field, and with his supernatural intuition, he was the first to realize something was wrong.
"Scheie! (German: Fuck it!)"
He immediately connected the dots to the mission. Could it be that Homelander's descent into darkness was because of his father's accident?
Magneto's body moved faster than his mind, instantly becoming metallic. The Dadi's magnetic energy seemed to find a vessel and surged into him, transforming into electric arcs.
The crowd in the stands only saw a blur before Magneto's body appeared in front of the beam cannon aimed at the stands.
