At that moment, facing Sam, who possessed the same terrifying power, Xuanse was flooded by painful memories like a tidal wave, and his body began trembling uncontrollably.
But Sam showed no intention of stopping. As though possessed by Beast and Hulk, he had fallen into a frenzied assault. He seized Xuanse tightly with both hands, lifted him over his head, then viciously slammed him into the ground.
Each impact came with a violent tremor through the earth and a dull boom, as if he intended to smash Xuanse completely to pieces.
Under Sam's mad battering, Xuanse's body repeatedly collided with the ground. Blood poured from his mouth and wounds all over his body. The sight was too gruesome to bear.
"Who... are... you...?"
Homelander forced out the words through clenched teeth, each one seeming to drain every last bit of strength from him.
His eyes were wide with fury as he watched The Seven he had brought with him get beaten before his eyes without the slightest ability to fight back. The shock and rage within him surged like raging waves, instantly reaching their peak.
Homelander no longer resembled his former imposing, invincible self. His hair was as disheveled as weeds, his clothes were torn beyond recognition, and scraps of fabric drifted lightly in the wind. His wretched appearance stood in sharp contrast to the glorious image he once presented.
"Me? I'm Sebastian Shaw. Thanks to the Compound Five you gave us, this feeling of being so full of power is truly wonderful."
Sebastian Shaw grinned, revealing a row of white teeth. His smile was like winter ice, tinged with mockery, as though he were mercilessly laughing at Homelander's ignorance and arrogance.
"Impossible!"
Homelander's eyes widened, filled with utter disbelief, as though he had watched the world collapse before him.
