Somewhere I Belong
Thick smoke billowed like ink, mixed with the sour smell of ozone and burnt grass.
Looking around, the broken stone slabs are layered and intertwined.
The Ionian column is embedded diagonally in the scorched, churning mud.
Some fragments of the Stars and Stripes were still wrapped around the pillar.
A gentle breeze swept by, and the cloth, strewn with brittle sparks, turned into wisps of black ash, drifting into the deep pit.
The scene shifts.
Homelander's face was half-buried in the pile of stones, a reddish gash remained on his right shoulder blade, and his spine was twisted in a bizarre posture.
Single, motionless.
In the dead silence, a very faint hissing sound suddenly came from the air.
"Sizzle... Slurp..."
Immediately afterwards, Homelander's stiff, curled fingers twitched violently.
"Snap!"
The charred fingers suddenly shot up, digging into the hard marble cracks, gripping the earth like an anchor.
Using the strength of his finger bones, he slowly lifted his broken body upwards.
Then, the heavy head slowly rose.
"Click... click... click!"
The derailed cervical vertebrae were gradually put back into place, and a muffled thud came from the protruding vertebrae in the lower back, which then spontaneously returned to their original position.
Those eyes suddenly snapped open!
Beneath the captivating Klein blue, a cold, oily grayish-white pterygium slowly shifted in his eyes.
He hummed softly, squinting comfortably as he basked in the warm light of the blazing sun.
"Hiss--ho--"
Godolkin took a deep breath.
The liquid mixture of thick gunpowder smoke, blood, and scorched earth surged in my lungs.
He then savored it, spitting it out between his teeth with a contented air, as if tasting a delicious treat.
"The air here smells just like me..."
The grayish-white pterygium trembled slightly.
Then he smiled.
"Ha... haha... hahahahahaha!"
The low, sluggish laughter, as emotions erupted unrestrainedly, escalated into hysterical, maniacal the Batman Who Laughs.
Then, he suddenly stopped nervously, hung up his index finger, and pressed it against his dry, purplish lips.
"Shh... he's still crying."
Godolkin tilted his head and raised the hand covered by the tattered glove of his battle uniform.
Then he slowly pressed his slender index finger onto his temple.
Then, close your eyes and hold your breath.
"Oh dear, she's terrified... The poor little thing, still breastfeeding, is curled up in a ball, whimpering and calling for 'Mommy'..."
"What a disgusting giant baby..."
Godolkin grinned, then excitedly lowered his head, deftly flipping "his" ten fingers.
Relax your fingers, clench them, then suddenly open them.
Beneath the taut skin and flesh, the finger bones moved with exquisite precision, the coordinated movements were nothing short of perfect.
Godolkin lowered his hand and closed his eyes in ecstasy.
He felt the immense power surging within him, and the absolute, blazing heat lurking beneath his eyes.
How wonderful everything is...
After a long while, he shook his head, his face showing resentment at the waste of resources:
"A one-in-a-million case... Heat Vision, Supersonic flight, Man of Steel... a power capable of Carnage all heretics, but what was the result?"
He grinned, revealing his gleaming white teeth:
"What the hell have I been pursuing all these years of my life?"
Bullshit attention? Whore wet nurse? And what ridiculous workplace childish games...
"A freak without parents, possessing only a beautiful body but living such a pathetic life, yet expecting love?"
Love is a useless thing.
"The world is bustling, all for profit... People live for nothing but profit, nothing more."
Godolkin chuckled, roughly scraped off the dried scab from the corner of his mouth with his thumb, then stuffed it into his mouth and chewed it forcefully.
He felt the rusty, salty, and fishy taste explode on his taste buds, and his Adam's apple bobbed excitedly:
"If I had had this foundation back then, the entire Vought... America, even the entire planet..."
Godolkin let out a long breath, pressed one hand to the ground, and stood up in an extremely relaxed yet imposing posture.
They're all fucking mine!
"Click! Click! Click!"
The spine stretched backward segment by segment, the shoulder blades snapped open, and a series of explosive sounds erupted.
With arms outstretched and chest puffed out, the tangled veins on the sides of his neck bulged out like layers of steel cables, spreading out menacingly across the area.
"Feels good! That fucking feels good!"
Godolkin let out a long howl, then, with his hands clasped behind his back and his back slightly hunched, he strolled leisurely among the ruins.
"... That saves me a lot of trouble, huh?"
Suddenly, Godolkin raised an eyebrow and his ear twitched with extreme sensitivity.
That was a vast array of sound waves acting on Superman.
But it didn't work on him.
Instead, a warm, violent, and terrifying energy was roaring along his tailbone.
Immediately afterwards, it rushes straight up to the entire cerebral cortex.
"Oh? The Sonic Resonance System... has started?"
Godolkin closed his eyes, savoring the exponentially increasing power within him, his smile growing increasingly cruel.
"Looks like my darling is putting in the effort..."
He suddenly opened his eyes, and his right fist clenched tightly.
"Smack--!!"
The next second, a visible white explosion of gas burst out of thin air in his palm.
"The expected 50%? No... this feels like... the power increase has at least doubled and more than 150%!"
The gray-white in Godolkin's eyes churned violently like boiling water.
Immediately afterwards, he the Batman Who Laughs and suddenly swung his arm outwards!
"Boom---!!"
A visible white shockwave exploded outwards from him.
In an instant, the surrounding rubble and broken pillars were violently hurled away, then shattered into dust.
Godolkin felt a suffocating pleasure as destructive energy surged from his pores.
He tilted his head back and let out a triumphant roar:
"... That was fucking awesome!!"
He stretched his neck, and the fierce glint in his eyes materialized:
"I've endured over a hundred years in that dilapidated basement, and now... it's time to return it to its rightful owner!"
The next instant, he stomped his right foot on the ground!
The giant pit, several meters deep, collapsed as if struck by a heavy blow, sinking several meters.
A terrifying, spiderweb-like network of fissures collapsed.
With a sonic boom, Godolkin left only a blur in place before soaring wildly through the clouds like a swift sword.
Five minutes ago.
Underground, a fully enclosed laboratory made of lead and zinc alloy.
The glaring emergency lights were flashing incessantly.
The Sage, wearing an extremely ugly green hood, sat crookedly in front of the control panel.
Those short, stubby, rounded fingers were frantically typing on the keyboard, which was covered in sweat and some unknown liquid.
It moved so fast that it became a blur.
Large, sticky beads of sweat slid down her greasy chin and into her hood, but she felt nothing.
Instead, he stared intently at the central screen, at the scrolling dynamic spectrum graph.
On the screen, a strange, cold waveform line was rapidly increasing from 0.5 Hz.
0.8, 1.2, 1.9, 2.5...
It was an extremely low-frequency sound wave that was impossible for an ordinary person's eardrum to detect.
However, driven by a high-power amplifier, it can completely ignore explosion-proof layers and reinforced concrete that are several meters thick.
Instead, it penetrates the physical body directly, causing severe central nervous system disorders in Superman at the microscopic cellular level.
If Superman were to receive these sound waves, they would experience severe dizziness and muscle paralysis.
In severe cases, it can lead to cerebellar necrosis, visceral spasms, and urinary and fecal incontinence.
But for those who have been injected with the modified V1 version of the Homelander...
The underlying auxiliary wave, written by the Sage, is capable of transmitting all received negative neural interference.
All of them are reverse-engineered into propellants that promote cell overclocking.
Moreover, this enhanced V1 also has a mental penetration effect.
Initially, when the Homelander came to us.
Sage have discovered that the Homelander possess only a strong outer shell, yet their spirit is extremely fragile.
Therefore, Sage added more hallucinogenic factors and opium to V1 in response to this phenomenon.
Once the emotions of the Homelander reach an uncontrollable threshold, V1 will automatically secrete a drug to induce the expansion of the mental void.
Once an opening appears, Godolkin can exploit it to seize control of the body.
At this point, the reading on the screen finally froze at 2.7 Hz.
A glint of fanaticism flashed in the Sage's eyes. He swung his fat arm and slammed his palm onto the red executive valve.
"Buzz-----!!"
The next second, a violent infrasound Shockwave exploded out.
The Sage man slumped back in his reinforced swivel chair, breathing heavily, his massive body heaving violently.
"It's done... it's finally fucking done..."
She turned her head with difficulty to look at the large monitoring screen on the side.
In the scene, Godolkin's possession is seen as it soars into the sky amidst a violent sonic boom, piercing through the clouds.
"That's more like it, baby..."
The Sage woman smiled smugly, but the smile vanished the next second.
"Thump!!"
The blast door was flung open with a bang, and the Deep, whose uniform was half torn to shreds, practically tumbled and crawled inside.
"Vomit--!!"
Before he could even stand up straight, he was forced to kneel and sprawl on the ground.
Yellowish-green bile gushed out of his Barry.
"My head... my head's going to explode! Ugh!!"
The Deep clutched his head tightly, his eyes bulging and bloodshot, his face contorted in pain.
Tinnitus, stinging sensation.
The top of my head felt like it was being sucked into a giant toilet plunger, and then it was being slammed down on me repeatedly.
It was a relentless bombardment, so intense that his vision was blurred with double images.
"... Shut it down! Turn this piece of junk off right now!"
Lao Tzu's... internal organs... all his internal organs are about to be shaken out! Cough cough cough! Ugh!"
The Deep clutched his head, trying to reach out to support himself on the ground and steady his unbalanced body.
As a result, the bare finger, with only a thin layer of tender wound, scraped hard against the edge of the metal cabinet.
"Aaaaaahh...
A bloodcurdling scream, like a pig being slaughtered, instantly filled the entire laboratory.
The tender new flesh collided with hard iron, and the excruciating pain, like a tearing wound, surged through the nerves of the Deep, rushing straight to the head.
The Deep was in so much pain that it curled up like a boiled shrimp, with snot and tears streaming down its face.
"Meat... my fingers hurt so much! Turn it off... you damn fat woman!"
The Sage simply didn't want to bother with that idiot, the Deep.
At that moment, a strange sense of danger arose.
She narrowed her eyes, her gaze passing over the Deep churning on the ground, and then looking at the crawling figure behind him.
Kimiko, with her messy, soaking wet hair, was half-squatting behind the Deep.
Beneath his black pupils, a pure, ferocious glint surged.
"Whoosh--"
Between his ten fingers, a gleaming white bone claw suddenly slid out.
Seeing this, a resolute glint flashed in the Sage's eyes, and then he suddenly twisted his body and ran quickly towards a corner.
"Smack!"
Her large, fleshy hand pressed heavily into a hidden groove.
"Boom--"
With a dull groan of mechanical gears meshing, the lead-zinc gate, disguised as a solid wall, slammed open inwards.
Then, a dark, sloping escape tunnel quickly appeared.
This escape tunnel was dug by the mole Superman long before she was recruited by Homelander for research.
The purpose is to make it easy to run away at any time.
The secret passage was mostly waterway, and she placed an inflatable automatic boat in the middle section.
You can drive all the way along the waterway to the Dark Sea, just two kilometers from the White House.
"Stop her! Kimiko! Don't let that old sow get away!"
The Deep watched the fat figure running away quickly, clutching his fingers and howling anxiously, then struggled to his feet.
"Buzz--"
He had just taken a step forward when the frequency of the infrasound suddenly jumped up by a semitone.
A violent feeling of nausea crept into my brain from my cochlea, my knees buckled, my back bent, and I vomited a large mouthful of bile.
"Shuashua--"
Kimiko glanced at the Deep with a hint of helplessness, then pushed off the ground with her toes.
It transformed into a rapidly moving afterimage, rushing straight towards the direction in which the Sage had fled.
Ten gleaming white bone claws slashed through the air, heading straight for the back of the Sage's neck!
But the Sage, as the most "intelligent" Superman on Earth, despite his fat body, is an exceptional escape artist.
The instant her massive body squeezed into the secret passage, she whirled around and delivered a powerful backhand elbow strike.
It slammed hard against the red emergency stop valve behind the door!
"Boom--!!"
The solid explosion-proof door, half a meter thick, slammed shut with the force of several tons.
"Clang--!!"
The bone claws scraped hard against the door panel, leaving several shallow marks that sparkled with sparks.
The immense recoil caused Kimiko to stagger back a large step, a tingling sensation running through her hand.
In contrast, the entire explosion-proof door remained completely intact, showing no signs of damage whatsoever.
"Fuck! Go to hell!"
The Deep scrambled to the control panel, frantically typing on the keyboard with one hand, trying to crack the access permissions.
But only a line of large red warning text flashed on the screen for a moment:
[Permission verification failed; the system has entered a hardware-level meltdown state.]
"Holy crap... What's the password?! What on earth is going on in this old sow's brain?!"
The Deep was so angry that it jumped around on the spot.
Kimiko walked to the electronic screen with a blank expression.
She took a deep breath, her eyes flashing with a fierce light.
The next second, ten bone claws ruthlessly pierced through the tiny gap left in the door!
"Sizzle!"
Kimiko's slender arms suddenly exerted force, and the veins bulged, spreading from the back of her hands all the way to her collarbone.
"Snap--"
With sheer superhuman strength, she managed to tear a huge gap in the half-meter-thick alloy door.
"Boom!!"
Kimiko delivered another powerful flying kick, completely shattering the twisted and deformed door!
The Deep, standing to the side, stared in disbelief, nervously swallowing hard.
" Kimiko, you're the real Superman, aren't you...?"
But Kimiko ignored the Deep and continued to transform into a blur, rushing directly into the dark and damp secret passage.
"Damn it... I'm wounded! Wait for me!"
The Deep, clutching his still throbbing head, hunched his legs and gritted his teeth as he followed closely behind.
The secret passage was extremely slippery inside, and the air was filled with a strong fishy smell.
But for the Deep, the environment here compensates for his lack of physical strength.
The body gradually recovered under the influence of the moisture.
Two minutes later.
The two crashed through the thin sheet metal at the end of the passage, one after the other.
At that moment, the midday sun hung high in the sky, so bright that the two of them could not open their eyes.
As they gradually adjusted to the darkness and dampness, they were shocked to find themselves in a desolate, rocky wasteland.
On the open sea about fifty meters from the shore.
A military inflatable kayak equipped with a high-powered sideplane is running at full speed.
It left a trail of churning white waves on the water's surface, and was frantically fleeing northward.
On the kayak, the Sage, wearing a shit-green hood, sat at the stern and turned around with amusement.
Then, through her mask, she raised a short, black middle finger at the two disheveled figures on the shore.
"Fuck... this black village pig! I'm going to slice up her Puxi and feed it to the fish!"
The Deep wiped the mud off its face and then shouted at the surface of the sea:
" Sang Biao... Sang Biao, where the hell have you been?! Get the hell out here!!"
On the sea surface, apart from the roar of the engines, there was no sound.
" Sang Biao! I know you're lying right under this water! Just help me intercept that fat, dead pig!"
I swear I'll take you to eat the most luxurious whole fish feast every day, all you can eat! Get the hell out here right now!!
There was still not a single bird moving on the water.
"Hold!"
The Deep cursed, then suddenly shoved two fingers into his mouth, pushing his power to its limit.
The next second, his senses expanded infinitely, with his mental perception domain at its core.
Suddenly, a large area of radiating resonant waves burst forth, covering all parts of the sea surface.
It is important to know that water is one of the most conductive media.
Following the continuous propagation of resonance, feedback occurs.
The Deep's outward-radiating spiritual power quickly located a huge fish shadow that was swimming Speed.
"Damn it, found you--"
The next second, the once calm sea suddenly exploded 20 meters from the shore!
It is over three meters long and has a metallic sheen all over its body.
A giant tuna with a hideous scar extending from its head to its tail fin bursts out of the water!
Its massive body traced a flowing arc in mid-air before crashing heavily back into the water, creating a giant wave several meters high.
"Whoosh--"
The tuna swung its thick, iron-plate-like tail fin and charged violently into the shallows.
Then, with a drift and a sudden stop, it came to a stop sideways in front of the two people.
The fish's large, protruding eyes gleamed with ferocity, its mouth opening and closing as it stared intently into the Deep.
"Damn it, stop glaring at me! Get to work! Remember Aisha?"
"That bitch is one of the masterminds behind this!"
With that, the Deep leaped up and straddled Sang Biao's broad, rough back.
Kimiko followed closely behind, grabbing the end of the fish's back and wedging her fingers into the gaps between the scales to maintain her balance.
"Chase after them! Smash that damn rubber boat to pieces!!"
The Deep pressed his hands firmly against the sides of the fish's head, then closed his upper eyes and unleashed his full power.
The surrounding water began to envelop the two people and the fish.
A very thin layer of high-pressure water film forms on the outer layer, and a streamlined tip is faintly formed at the fish head.
Soon, a startled glint flashed in Sang Biao's eyes, and his powerful tail fin flapped violently underwater.
"Thump--!!"
The hastily assembled mermaid duo burst forth in an instant!
"Whoosh--"
With the support of the streamlined water film in the Deep, Sang Biao's swimming speed instantly broke through individual limits, soaring all the way.
Like a golden cruising Torpedo, it carved a two-meter-diameter white channel through the sea, Speed approaching!
Two hundred, one hundred and fifty, eighty, thirty...
A loud splash came from behind, Sage in the rubber boat turned around sharply, only to find that the distance between them was less than ten meters.
no...
She frantically pulled a high-explosive throwing gun from her pocket, aimed it at the Deep, and slammed the trigger!
"Puff--!!"
The next second, a clump of dark green, viscous polymer exploded in mid-air.
Then it transformed into a giant, strong, sticky net with a diameter of over six meters, which covered the fish's back from head to toe!
"Quick, Kimiko! Chop it up!"
The Deep roared.
Kimiko narrowed her eyes and, using the momentum from the fish's back, leaped into the air.
His figure spun dramatically in mid-air, his stark white bone gleaming in the blazing sun, creating a dazzling golden reflection.
"Sizzle!!"
The giant net was quickly sliced into several pieces in mid-air and fell into the water.
Kimiko lost her footing due to her mid-air change of move and plummeted straight towards the water.
"Bring it on!"
The Deep reacted quickly, grabbing at the surface of the water with one hand.
The next second, several Cosmic Cube of water were forcibly compressed and piled up in his palm, then transformed into an explosive water column that shot into the sky.
The water gently caught Kimiko's feet and lifted her up.
Immediately afterwards, Sang Biao swung his tail and came to a perfect stop, catching Kimiko back on his back!
At the same time, Sang Biao had already rushed to the back of the kayak.
"Fat pig, I've got you!"
The Deep let out a sinister laugh and plunged into the water.
Then, he used both arms to grip the outboard motor beam and towing cable tightly.
Immediately afterwards, using the power of the waist and abdomen, and with the help of the micro-flow of water to create a high-explosive thrust, he suddenly lifted upwards!
Let's go!!
"Splash----!!"
The immense force that overturned it, weighing several tons, exploded out.
The entire kayak was blasted in mid-air, flipping 180 degrees before crashing heavily onto the water.
The Sage screamed and fell into the murky, icy seawater, choking on two large mouthfuls of salt water.
Its four short limbs thrashed about, trying to rise to the surface.
But soon, a hand, like an iron clamp, gripped the back of her neck tightly and roughly lifted her up from the bottom of the water!
"Pfft... cough cough cough!"
The Sage coughed violently, his hood filled with murky seawater.
But before she could even see what was happening in front of her, Kimiko's sharp, white bone claws had already silently sliced through the soft rubber under her helmet.
The cold, bony tip pressed firmly against her delicate throat skin, even leaving a thin line of blood.
"Damn it..."
The Deep wiped the water from his face, panting heavily, and pressed his face fiercely against the Sage's helmet visor:
"Run? You fucking keep running! You village pig who only knows how to communicate in primitive ways!"
Through his goggles, fogged with water vapor, the Sage stared at the murderous Kimiko and the ferocious the Deep with his two dead fish eyes.
Extremely pragmatic, he slowly raised his hands:
"Um... I surrender."
(Please give me some support! It seems to have only been trending for two days.)
