Outside the barrier.
The smile on Major Lox's face froze once again.
He had not expected the slap in the face to come so quickly!
Was Number 380 really this absurdly powerful?
Or were all the members of the Superpowered Suicide Squad just complete trash?
Just as Major Lox and the others were about to lose confidence, the remaining members of the Superpowered Suicide Squad finally managed to turn things around.
When Carl prepared to repeat the same trick and fire a shot at Werewolves' head—
His attack was successfully blocked by a dark yellow shield.
It was obvious that Shield Man, who had been hiding at the very back, had stepped in!
"Hm?"
Carl raised an eyebrow, then increased his firepower.
He wanted to see whether his attacks could truly break through the other's "absolute defense"!
"Don't underestimate me..."
Shield Man at the rear suddenly felt immense pressure.
But in order to keep the barrier from breaking, he could only grit his teeth and endure it.
What he found unbelievable, however, was—
The energy blasts Carl unleashed seemed endless, never stopping for even a moment.
What the hell?!
Wasn't that brat afraid of exhausting his life force ahead of time by wasting energy so recklessly?!
Reality soon dealt him a cruel blow.
Shield Man had no choice but to burn his life away, constantly squeezing every last bit of strength and potential from his body just to barely withstand Carl's continued attacks.
Still, beads of sweat trickled down from his forehead.
Blood also kept spilling from the corners of his increasingly pale mouth.
Anyone with eyes could tell.
Even without the side effects of [Temporary Compound V], Shield Man's life would come to an end after this battle.
But what was truly tragic was that no one cared about his... no, their lives or deaths at all!
While Shield Man used a small shield to protect himself and Werewolves—
The other three superpowered individuals who had been hiding behind him began attacking one after another.
One of them took a box of matches from his pocket. After lighting one, he violently swung his other hand toward Carl.
Whoosh...!!!
A scorching firestorm immediately swept out from the tiny flame at the tip of the match.
In the blink of an eye, it engulfed Carl on the other side.
The blazing flames caused the temperature throughout the entire space to rise rapidly.
Even from nearly twenty meters away, Major Lox and the others outside felt searing pain against their skin.
Even the air they breathed into their lungs became scorching hot...
"That bastard Fire Man, I clearly told him not to kill the kid!"
Major Lox's expression immediately darkened at the sight.
If Carl died, not only would he gain no credit or benefits this time—
He would likely face severe punishment when he returned!
However, before he could berate Fire Man and tell him to stop, a muffled boom came from inside the barrier.
A violently exploding torrent of energy directly scattered the scorching firestorm completely, revealing Carl's proud, upright figure once more.
Clearly, Fire Man's attack had failed to breach the layer of "Energy Coat" protecting Carl's body.
"What? He wasn't injured at all??"
Major Lox and the others could hardly believe their eyes.
Fire Man was so shocked that his jaw nearly dropped. He cried out in disbelief, "Th... that's impossible!!"
The flames he had released just now were hot enough to melt steel!
Yet they could not even set the clothes on the other man's body on fire.
That was way too unreasonable, wasn't it?!
At that moment—
Another superpowered individual with [mind control] abilities chose to launch a sneak attack while everyone was stunned.
He narrowed his eyes, pressed a finger to his temple, and unleashed his power on Carl.
Bzz...!!!
An invisible psychic ripple surged forth like ripples spreading across water.
"So there's a psychic manipulator too. This capture lineup really is extravagant. I just wonder what that last guy's ability is."
Carl sensed the psychic power radiating from the other man almost immediately.
But he chose to ignore it and fixed his gaze on the last hooded man instead.
It was not because Carl was overly arrogant.
It was because, during the probing before the fight, this psychic manipulator had failed to notice Carl's examination of his memories.
That alone proved that there was an enormous gap between them.
And that was indeed the case.
Carl's psychic power came directly from the [Mind Stone].
So, in theory, any psychic attack launched against him was equivalent to attacking the [Mind Stone].
The consequences were naturally obvious...
Not to mention this psychic manipulator "ripened" through [Temporary Compound V].
Even if Professor X came at the peak of his strength, it would still be useless.
Because...
Even Professor X wearing Cerebro could not hurt Loki holding the Mind Scepter, or Thanos wearing the Infinity Gauntlet embedded with the Mind Stone!!
Sure enough.
The instant that psychic power touched Carl—
It was as though it had enraged some ancient god, immediately stirring up monstrous waves.
Then it rebounded toward the psychic controller at an even faster speed!
The next second—
The psychic controller rolled his eyes back, foamed at the mouth, and collapsed to the ground in convulsions.
Under the impact of that incomparably violent psychic force, his brain directly entered a state of brain death.
"How could this happen? Even psychic attacks are ineffective against him?!"
By now, the confident smugness Major Lox had worn earlier was long gone.
All that remained was incredulous shock and deep concern.
He truly had not expected Carl to retain absolute control of the battle even while fighting six opponents alone.
Wasn't that far too unreasonable?!
Under normal circumstances, even Homelander, the star attraction of Vought Group—
Would probably have been defeated when facing a capture force of this scale, right?
Could this kid, who had only gained superpowers a few days ago, truly be a monster?
If the Superpowered Suicide Squad failed, how were they supposed to deal with this monster?
No... that was impossible!
How could the Superpowered Suicide Squad lose?!
They still had one sound-wave man who had yet to attack.
With that thought, Major Lox hurriedly shouted, "Everyone, put on your noise-canceling headphones! Speaker Man is about to attack!!"
Inside the barrier.
Seeing his teammates suffer defeat after defeat—
The last superpowered individual slowly pulled back the hood covering his head, revealing the square speaker box beneath it!!!
That's right.
It was as though someone had directly mounted a speaker on his neck.
And where his facial features should have been was now replaced by a massive speaker, round on the outside and hollowed inward.
It looked as bizarre as bizarre could be!!!
