Boom!

The broadcast abruptly stopped.

Lin Mo had no interest in listening to the whole thing. Eighteen years of experimental data, all samples related to him and Joanna, were destroyed.

As for those who used them as experimental animals...

Lin Mo showed no mercy and sent them all to meet their God, since they were the ones who usually loved God the most.

It took less than seven seconds, and that was even after he had stopped exerting his strength.

"Vogelbaum isn't in the Bunker today. Looks like he's in luck."

After searching several times, Lin Mo confirmed that there were no survivors before stopping the destruction.

However, the entire Bunker was almost completely destroyed. The ground suddenly bulged, followed by a terrifying roar, and then a large area collapsed.

Smoke and dust billowed into the sky, and trees in the distance were forced to fall outwards by the shockwave.

"Cool!"

Lin Mo, suspended in the sky, chuckled softly.

Looking down at the gradually collapsing Bunker below, he felt an unprecedented sense of exhilaration for the first time.

Lin Mo slowly clenched his fist, and a visible shockwave exploded in his palm.

"So this is what it feels like to have power."

He had never unleashed his power so freely before; if he so desired, he could easily destroy everything in front of him.

But strangely, he wasn't as excited as one might expect.

On the contrary, having killed so many people, he felt unusually calm deep down, perhaps due to his Super Brain.

"But..."

Lin Mo looked into the distance.

Several researchers there had already been moved to a safe area by him.

They had participated in the experiments, but some people had also secretly helped him and shown him small acts of kindness.

Therefore, he did not choose to exterminate them all.

"Humans are really complicated."

Lin Mo said softly, if it were him when he first came to this world, he might have destroyed everything without hesitation. Or rather, he had changed.

The sunlight shone on him.

Lin Mo raised his head, feeling the Kryptonian Bloodline gradually activating within him.

That warm energy from the sun is gradually responding to his presence.

Edgar, of course, was alive; he had been brought out beforehand.

Even before Edgar landed after being dragged out by Lin Mo, the Bunker had already been destroyed, demonstrating Lin Mo's incredible speed.

Bang!

Edgar then fell heavily onto the grass.

His suit was covered in dust, and there was a cut on his forehead.

But he paid no attention to any of that. Instead, he knelt on the ground, staring at the underground Research Center that was collapsing in the distance.

He couldn't utter a single word.

It's been decades.

Vought invested an unknown amount of money and manpower to establish this top-level research base.

Less than a minute.

That's all.

It's completely gone.

Just then...

Boom!

Another whooshing sound came from afar.

A figure burst out of the Bunker ruins almost instantly, his long golden hair trailing as he moved at high speed.

It was Joanna.

The moment she landed, the grass beneath her feet exploded.

"Lin Mo!"

She didn't even glance at Edgar; she rushed to Lin Mo's side and grabbed his shoulders with both hands.

Are you hurt?

What did they do to you?

Who attacked you?

She spoke extremely quickly, and her eyes were already flashing a dangerous red light.

Obviously.

The entire Bunker suddenly began to collapse, completely frightening Joanna who was unaware of what was happening.

Lin Mo looked at her.

"I'm fine."

"Real?"

"Really, don't you know how strong my defenses are?"

Even though he said that, Joanna still checked him over from head to toe.

Apart from the clothes being a bit dusty, there were indeed no wounds, and even the hair wasn't messed up much.

She then visibly breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, Joanna finally noticed Edgar beside her.

The worry on her face vanished instantly, replaced by coldness.

"Did he do it? Did he blow this up?"

Upon hearing this, Edgar's already dark face darkened even further.

"No."

Lin Mo explained.

Who is that?

"Me." Lin Mo pointed to himself.

Joanna was stunned, then somewhat incredulous.

"You?"

"Um."

Lin Mo then pointed to the ruins behind him.

"I dismantled it."

Joanna looked at the ruins, then at Lin Mo.

Two seconds of silence.

Why didn't you call me?

"..."

Lin Mo originally thought she would ask him why he demolished the Research Center.

So that's what she cares about?

"I can handle this kind of small thing myself."

"A small matter?"

Joanna looked back at the Bunker, which had almost turned into a giant crater.

Call me next time.

She was clearly unhappy.

"I can take the other half apart."

Edgar: "..."

This moment.

He suddenly realized with absolute clarity that Vought's plans over the past eighteen years might have fundamentally gone wrong.

They had initially thought Lin Mo was the reins that restrained Homelander, but now it seemed that those reins were not only running away on their own.

It's even more dangerous than a horse.

Lin Mo turned his head and looked at Edgar.

"Alright."

"Now we can talk again."

Edgar stood up and dusted off his suit.

The shock on his face quickly disappeared.

It has to be said.

This guy's mental fortitude is truly outrageous.

If it were an ordinary person who had just gone through all this, they would probably be kneeling on the ground praying right now.

Edgar was able to force himself to regain his composure, and now that Lin Mo had chosen to spare his life, there was still room for negotiation.

"Leave me here."

He said.

"This shows you're not prepared for a full-blown war with Vought."

"Wrong."

Lin Mo shook his head, then suddenly chuckled.

"To use your own words, the only reason I kept you is because you are more useful than those people. You still have value to me."

Edgar's eyes darkened slightly as he asked.

What do you want?

"Didn't you just say that?"

Lin Mo smiled.

"Join the Super Seven."

Edgar showed obvious surprise for the first time.

"Are you still willing to join?"

Are you sure this isn't a joke? That attitude just now, and the dismantling of the research Bunker —that's a huge loss!

Why are you unwilling?

Lin Mo asked a question while letting Joanna play with his hand.

"Vought has media."

"They have money, resources, political connections, and even have a presence in other countries."

"I don't need to refuse to use these things just because I dislike you."

"Only--"

Lin Mo walked up to Edgar.

"Before, you wanted to treat me like a commodity."

"Now, it's my decision to use Vought."

Do you understand the difference?

Ultimately, it's because Lin Mo needs Energy Points. If he wants to do something that has a big impact, then of course it's to become Superhero and promote himself. By using online media, he can influence others invisibly, gain the admiration of some people, and naturally acquire a large number of Energy Points from ordinary people.

Moreover, what he said was true; no one understands the internet better than Vought.

Besides, he has time, and even if he wanted to quickly gain Energy Points, he couldn't go on a killing spree, except in extreme circumstances.

Edgar looked at him.

Do you think the company will accept what you just did?

Of course.

Lin Mo answered with absolute certainty, pointing to Edgar.

"Because you will make them accept it."

Edgar squinted.

"Why?"

"Because you are smarter than them."

Lin Mo laughed, "Even if that Bunker is gone, the researchers are dead, and the experimental data is destroyed, it seems like Vought suffered a great loss, but Joanna and I, the most important experimental subject you mentioned, are still alive."

"As long as we're willing to stand in front of the camera, we can make back this loss sooner or later, and maybe even more."

"And after today, your Board of Directors members should understand that they have no right to decide whether we want to be members of the Super Seven."

Lin Mo looked at him.

"They can only decide whether or not to cooperate with us."
