An orange nuclear blast filled the entire corridor!
A few seconds later, nothing remained in the corridor but charred remains.
There was no fierce, primal struggle, only an utterly overwhelming demolition.
After dealing with security, Lu Wen stepped over the debris littering the floor and walked to the alloy door at the far end.
He had held back a little just now, so apart from being baked a little brittle, the alloy door had not suffered much damage.
Boom!
One punch smashed the door to pieces!
The storage area had motion-activated lights. Once he walked in, the ceiling lights came on row by row, illuminating the entire warehouse as brightly as daylight.
The shelves stood in neat rows, every tier packed with sealed metal cases, their sides labeled with numbers and dates.
Lu Wen walked over and opened the nearest case. Inside, reagent vials sat in a neat row, their transparent bodies filled with pale blue liquid, tiny reflections wavering in the light.
He picked one up, shook it, and slipped it into his pocket. Then he closed the lid and put all the neatly stacked cases into System Space.
As for whether there were any hidden cameras here, he did not care. They could not catch him anyway.
By the time he came up from the underground warehouse, there was no one left in Vought Tower either. They had probably all fled.
He had taken everything he needed. Time to settle the score and leave.
Taking the syringe he had prepared out of System Space and retrieving the vial of Compound V he had kept, Lu Wen immediately bit hard into his own wrist!
His skin was now as hard as steel plate! A needle would break before it could pierce him!
The instant he bit through his skin, Lu Wen quickly inserted the needle and slowly pushed a syringe full of Compound V into his body.
He had taken a shot of V1, and his Compound V powers had already been fixed. Another injection would not give him any new powers.
But... Compound V had another use! It could serve as a temporary enhancer, briefly raising the ceiling of a Supe's existing powers and pushing them beyond their everyday limits.
During his time in The Boys Universe, he had faced Soldier Boy and Homelander in turn. This father and son were both at the very pinnacle of this universe's fighting strength!
Two fights, and he had not gained much of an advantage in either! He had even ended up covered in injuries!
Although he had recovered quickly, he had basically come here just to get pushed around! Petty as he was, he absolutely could not let that slide!
So what if he could not kill them? Whatever! He had only just left the starter village. It was understandable.
But he could not just swallow this loss. Even if he could not kill those two bastards, he had to fight them again! He had to pay them back for what he had suffered.
Otherwise, leaving just like this would be far too spineless! Out in the world, not every slight had to be swallowed!
Especially not one dealt out by scumbags like these. That was even less acceptable!
"Whew..." He let out a long breath.
With that shot of Compound V, he felt a scorching current burst from the injection site, like molten iron pouring into his veins, racing up his forearm and through every part of his body.
It was not a stinging pain, but a fullness so intense it left him numb! His muscles, bones, and even every inch of his skin hummed, like a freshly wound spring, strength spilling out through his pores.
He instinctively clenched his fist. His knuckles cracked, and even the air gave a faint pop in his grip.
"Holy shit... this stuff hits hard! No wonder A-Train kept shooting it up like crazy!" Lu Wen shook out his hand and muttered.
All right, time to find those two bastards and test just how good this temporary buff was!
Following the faint vibrations reaching his ears, Lu Wen slowly pinpointed the area where Homelander and the others were fighting!
This should have been their recording studio.
By the time Lu Wen found it, the fighting was in full swing both inside and out!
Maeve was grappling with Homelander. She had not lost an eye yet, and Soldier Boy's shield was still intact. It looked like the fight had not reached that point yet!
"But this time, it's my turn!" A frenzied smile, hungry for battle, spread across Lu Wen's face!
Fighting... felt so damn good!!!
He stamped hard on the floor! Lu Wen launched himself straight through the air, aiming his big foot squarely at Homelander's face!
"Huh?!"
Hearing the noise, Homelander instinctively turned his head and caught the kick full in the face!
Bang!
Tremendous force swept through him, sending Homelander flying uncontrollably into the room.
Maeve remained in her grappling stance, her expression frozen as she stared blankly in the direction Homelander had flown.
"Go play somewhere else. This next fight is mine!"
Lu Wen showed no courtesy whatsoever. He planted his big hand over Maeve's face and shoved her backward! He pushed her straight behind him, nearly embedding her in the wall.
"What the fuck???"
Homelander climbed off the floor looking utterly bewildered, not quite understanding what had happened.
After Homelander flew in, the fighting on Soldier Boy's side also paused, everyone wondering what exactly had happened.
Lu Wen strode inside, and everyone's eyes fell on him!
"Anyone not involved, stand back! This is between me and this father and son." Lu Wen pointed at Homelander and Soldier Boy in turn.
Homelander gave a chuckle. "You've got to be kidding!"
"Why the fuck is it you again!" Soldier Boy was almost speechless! Three times now! Every time he saw this bastard, he did something to get in his way!
"Oi, mate, you can't..."
"Oi, my ass! Get out of the way!" Impatiently, Lu Wen grabbed Butcher by the collar and tossed him backward! He threw him straight out of the room, smashing a cabinet outside and burying him in wood fragments.
He glanced toward Starlight as well! Starlight was smart enough to immediately take several steps back.
Lu Wen walked into the room, and the three stood facing one another.
"Just look at you two! One went crazy in the street and nearly blew me up! The other tried to kill me before I'd even done anything! Come on. Before I leave, let's settle this!"
He summoned the system panel, found the entry, and spent four thousand points to buy two minutes of the Winter Soldier's Military Combat!
[Countdown: 02:00]
Soldier Boy glanced at Homelander and attacked first! Much as he hated doing this, Lu Wen's arrogance made him feel they ought to kill Lu Wen before thinking about anything else!
The heavy alloy shield swept sideways with a rush of air, heading straight for Lu Wen's head.
Lu Wen neither dodged nor ducked. He stepped forward, twisted at the waist, and swung his fist into the shield!
Boom!
The heavy crash was followed by a scarlet laser beam!
Lu Wen raised his arm to block. Homelander's Heat Vision struck his skin without burning through it in the slightest!
Raising a hand to catch Soldier Boy's incoming kick, Lu Wen swung him up and hurled him at Homelander.
Homelander sidestepped. When he looked back at Lu Wen, all he saw was a fist growing larger and larger! The punch was so fast that he had no time to dodge.
Lu Wen punched Homelander in the face, then kicked Soldier Boy in the waist. Facing both of them at once, Lu Wen handled himself with ease this time!
All three had the same aim, driving punch after punch toward one another's vital spots.
Facing Soldier Boy's fist as it closed in on his forehead, Lu Wen did not dodge. His left hand caught Soldier Boy's wrist precisely, then twisted hard with his momentum!
With a sharp crack, Soldier Boy's wrist was forcibly twisted backward. The alloy shield clanged to the ground, making the floor tremble.
Before Soldier Boy could react, Lu Wen's right fist slammed squarely into his chin!
The force of the punch drove through him, snapping Soldier Boy's head back and sending him flying. His back slammed into a load-bearing wall, instantly spreading a mass of spiderweb cracks across it as dust showered down.
After throwing that punch, Lu Wen tilted his head to avoid Homelander's Heat Vision, then drove another vicious punch into Homelander's stomach!
Homelander staggered back several steps, his face livid. He floated into the air, clenched both fists, and charged again, his fist carrying a sonic boom that tore through the air.
Lu Wen met him with a punch of his own!
A clang of striking metal rang out, and the shock wave sent all the surrounding cameras and lighting stands flying.
The instant their fists collided, Lu Wen turned his wrist and locked his fingers around Homelander's wrist. Turning sideways and twisting at the waist, he executed a textbook shoulder throw, brutally slamming the hundred-odd-kilogram Homelander into the ground!
Boom! The impact smashed a shallow crater into the floor, pulverizing the tiles.
Lu Wen immediately straddled him, pinned his shoulder with his left fist, and hammered his right fist into his face!
One punch! Two punches! Three punches!
Every punch landed with a heavy, dull thud. Homelander's cheeks rapidly swelled red, and blood seeped from the corner of his mouth.
