Chapter 588: Afraid of Getting Hurt (Seriously)
The fermentation speed of the event was very fast. After all, Hyperion chose to release his speech during the President's live stream. Not only America, but almost the entire World knew about the decision of this currently strongest Superhero on Earth overnight.
You wouldn't believe it, even though Hyperion clashed with the President, injured an unknown Superhuman, and announced inhumane orders, making himself seem like a tyrannical king, there was still a lot of support for him.
Why? Because what is the largest Superhuman group in this World? Is it Superheroes? Or Super Villains?
Neither. The largest Superhuman group in this World is Mutants. Even though Magneto has already taken a group to build a country, the remaining Mutants who are reluctant to leave for various reasons are still not few in number.
Not to mention, the Energy Burst that erupted from New York before and affected some surrounding Towns has created a large number of new Superhumans in this World. Some of them may be Mutants, and some may be something else.
Gwen looked at the Tablet in her hand, which was filled with Information Xue Bao had collected for her, all about the News of Superhumans in this World. The first page was Hyperion's Information.
She had to prepare in advance for the possible upcoming Crisis.
As for why it's all about Mutants, it's necessary to mention the Aspect where this World is lagging behind. In terms of normal historical processes, this World is not lagging behind in any Aspect, and is even much stronger than some Universes Gwen has been to.
The only Aspect where this World is behind Other Universes is Superhumans. The Research on Superhumans in this Universe is really too backward.
The Government or some Organizations are better, but in the eyes of the General Public, basically all Superhumans are collectively called Mutants. Even many Superhumans themselves believe they belong to Mutants.
This is wrong. Even Gwen, a High School Student, knows that the difference between Superhuman and Superhuman is even greater than between Humans and dogs. Although Yang Le explained it to her, Gwen, who doesn't have to worry about a double Life, has also put in some effort in this Aspect herself.
Hyperion himself is the Child of a Big Shot in the Military, so he naturally knows this Aspect very well. That's why he used the more general term "Superhuman." Although this word is new to the General Public, it's not difficult to understand, and the meaning can naturally still be conveyed.
"Tsk!" Gwen couldn't help but scratch her Head. "Isn't this equivalent to making enemies with all Superhumans Worldwide?"
Should she say Hyperion is arrogant? Or that he lost his Brain because of the Death of his Family? In short, he chose a path that is not good for himself or others.
After coming to this Universe, Gwen's Life has been a straight line, after all, the reason she left her own Universe with Yang Le was to complete her studies.
After hiding her Superhero Identity, she didn't pay much attention to things in that Aspect anymore, only occasionally hearing about Superhero matters from classmates or other boys at School.
So, this was still the first time she knew Hyperion's Strength. How to say it, she could only say that Hyperion indeed has the capital to be arrogant. According to the Data Xue Bao provided, most Superhumans probably can't even break through Hyperion's Defense.
At least Gwen felt it would take her some effort, and Xue Bao and herself working together could do it, but wanting to defeat him would be a bit uncertain.
"If I want to win, I have to prepare new Means." Gwen said, biting on her Electronic Pen, her Face full of helplessness. "Otherwise, I'll have to trouble Yang Le again. Ugh! Or maybe just call him back to beat up that Hyperion!"
"Knock knock knock."
Hearing the knock on the Door, Gwen then remembered that she wasn't the only one at Home now. She suddenly turned her Swivel Chair around and found Katie poking her Head out from behind the Door, looking at her.
"Sorry Gwen, I didn't mean to listen, it's just that the Door wasn't closed..." Katie said timidly.
Gwen coughed lightly twice to cover up her embarrassment at being seen acting crazy, and pretended to be nonchalant, saying, "It's okay Katie, I hope I didn't disturb you."
She just glanced at the Time and found that it was already late at night. She didn't expect that she had been in front of the Computer for so long. It seems that no matter what you are reading, it will unknowingly consume a lot of Time.
"No," Katie shook her Head, and then mustered up her courage to say.
"Gwen, if it's too difficult for you, I'll just go register myself."
"How could that be, Katie." Gwen hurriedly stood up, walked to the Doorway, pulled Katie into her Room, and then the two of them sat down together on her Bed.
"Why would you think that?"
"Because Hyperion is very strong, isn't he?" Katie curled up her Body. "And he looks very cold-blooded now, he actually broke that person's Hand directly. I'm very afraid he will do that to you too."
"Indeed, I'm also very afraid of him doing that to me." Gwen echoed Katie's Words, but she didn't look scared at all.
"Then why are you still..."
"However, I'm not afraid of him," Gwen changed the subject. "I'm afraid of Yang Le."
"Yang Le? Your Boyfriend?" Katie's Brain was confused by Gwen's jumpy Topic. "What's the connection between the two?"
"Oh my god, I can't believe these Words are coming out of my mouth." Gwen covered her Face. "If... if Yang Le knows I'm injured, I think Earth might be finished."
Gwen doesn't know about others, but at least she feels it's very embarrassing to admit to her best friend how much her Boyfriend cares about her.
Katie's Brain experienced a one-Second freeze because of Gwen's Words. She immediately used her Hand to touch Gwen's Forehead.
"Gwen, do you have a fever? Your Forehead is so hot, and your Face is very red."
"Why would you think that?" Gwen said, blushing and slapping away Katie's Hand. "You don't think I'm lying, do you? Well, destroying Earth might be too unimaginable."
Seeing that Gwen didn't seem to be joking, Katie then asked in an unbelievable tone, "Do you mean Yang Le is very strong?"
Katie has met Yang Le twice, once when she went to Gwen's Home in New York, and the other time when they attended the School Ball. Both times, Yang Le left Katie with a good impression.
Katie admitted that Yang Le did look very strong, but that was only for ordinary High School Students. He couldn't even compare to those who frequented the Gym. How could he possibly beat Hyperion, who could lift a Building? As for destroying the World? That's even more impossible.
Unexpectedly, Gwen nodded calmly and said, "That's right, Yang Le is very strong. At least Hyperion is definitely not his opponent. In his Words, it's..."
"I can use him as a Jump Rope."
