Chapter 371: Xia Shang VS Homelander! Overwhelming Power!
"Mr. Jervis, you really are the Mysterious Person. You must have gone through a lot to hide for so long," Billy said in a deep voice.
"It wasn't hard, just got a little tired of playing," Xia Shang said with a smile, walking towards Soldier Boy.
"Is your superpower plunder or copying? What you just used must have been psychic power."
Billy clearly knew that the biggest enemy now was no longer Soldier Boy, but the mysterious and unpredictable Mr. Jervis before him. Judging solely from the superpowers he had revealed, there were at least eight types, truly making him a superpower collector.
"That's not important, because you will soon forget my existence."
Xia Shang suddenly stopped and looked to the right, only to see Hughie, holding the nerve agent, appear out of thin air and prepare to press the iron canister in his hand onto Xia Shang's mouth and nose. However, under the effect of psychic power, his movements seemed to be slowed down several times; for Xia Shang, it was simply turtle speed.
Danger! Hughie didn't hesitate and teleported to get behind Billy.
"His body is covered with a layer of psychic power, I can't get close to him at all." Hughie, as if he had walked through the gates of hell, broke out in a cold sweat. He didn't have a physique as strong as Billy's; if he took a punch from the opponent, he would be crippled even if he didn't die.
"Using words to attract my attention so that Hughie could sneak attack me, hmm, good idea, too bad this move doesn't work on me."
"Die!"
While Xia Shang was speaking, Soldier Boy suddenly broke free from his restraints, then swung his shield and fiercely smashed it towards Xia Shang's head!
The next second, inside the meeting room, a sound similar to an engine starting suddenly rang out, Boom! A dull, powerful sound, centered around Xia Shang, spread outwards.
Bang! Everyone actually saw Mr. Jervis raise his right arm and, as if casually, caught the heavily falling shield. The moment his palm and the shield made contact, terrifying strength was transmitted along Xia Shang's arm to the ground he was standing on. With a muffled sound, Xia Shang's body sank down, actually directly crushing the ground.
"Want to kill me? You're not even close." Four heart engines hidden within his body activated simultaneously. Coupled with his enhanced physique, at this moment, Xia Shang's strength already slightly surpassed Soldier Boy's.
He looked straight ahead, looking into Soldier Boy's eyes, and smiled slightly.
In just an instant, Memory Imprint pulled Soldier Boy's consciousness into his memory. To onlookers, Soldier Boy seemed like he was petrified, standing frozen in place, motionless.
"The nose is the window to the brain. I hope the barrier inside you is as hard as your skin, hard enough." Xia Shang exerted strength in his arm, his five fingers immediately embedded into the shield, then swung it to the side. He then stepped forward a few steps and, in front of everyone, covered Soldier Boy's face with his right hand.
"Stop him! This is how he killed Translucent!" Hughie shouted in terror.
Homelander and Billy attacked simultaneously, shooting out four heat visions. However, before the heat vision hit Xia Shang, four rolling eyeballs appeared at the locations corresponding to where the heat vision would land, and also shot out purple laser, cancelling out the incoming heat vision and resisting each other. For a moment, a three-way standoff was formed! The battle fell into a stalemate!
"What the f*ck? He even has laser eyes? How many more superpowers does he have that haven't been revealed?" Hughie felt his scalp crawl. He wasn't thinking about how to kill Mr. Jervis anymore, but about how he should escape later.
"He's simply a monster."
To the side, Starlight, fighting Lamplighter and The Deep, continuously absorbed the surrounding electricity, thereby releasing extremely dazzling beams of light, blasting towards The Deep and Lamplighter.
Because the speed of the light beams was extremely fast, Lamplighter was caught off guard and was sent flying.
As for The Deep, he didn't even last two seconds before clutching his abdomen and half-knelt on the ground.
After dealing with The Deep and Lamplighter, Starlight could finally spare time to deal with Xia Shang. "Three against one? Seems a bit unfair to me." At this moment, two tentacles extending from Xia Shang's palm had already pierced through Soldier Boy's nasal membrane, rushing straight towards his brain. Intense pain pulled Soldier Boy back from his memory. He could feel two unknown objects surging within his nasal cavity. While extremely terrified, he subconsciously grabbed Xia Shang's wrist, wanting to break it.
Unfortunately, his movements were half a beat slow. The tough and sharp flesh and blood tentacle, with astonishing speed, stirred his brain matter into a paste. For humans, the brain is always the most fatal weakness. Soldier Boy was no exception. The moment his brain was destroyed, his gaze dimmed. Finally, he fell straight backwards.
Soldier Boy - Died!
[Congratulations Player for killing a Source Material main character, gaining 4500 Fantasy Value]
[Current Fantasy Value is 24100]
Finally gathered twenty thousand. The process was much easier than Xia Shang had imagined.
However, he didn't plan to keep killing. After all, these guys in front of him were all chickens that laid golden eggs. Instead of turning them all into Fantasy Value, it was better to keep them and slowly collect rent.
"Soldier Boy died?" Hughie was too shocked to speak.
You know, Soldier Boy was Billy's specially prepared trump card to deal with Homelander. Logically speaking, his strength was not inferior to Homelander's at all, and his superpower could even restrain all Supes.
As a result, the great weapon they specially prepared just died like that? Hughie shivered, feeling a wave of dread surge through his body.
"Fight my ass, can't fight at all."
Hughie teleported to Starlight's side, then taking Starlight, moved to the fiftieth floor of Vought Tower.
At the same time, a gap split open in the middle of Xia Shang's body. The two halves of his body separated from each other, instantly turning into two complete Xia Shangs. One of the Xia Shangs, his body instantly disappeared from the spot.
…………
Fiftieth floor of Vought Tower.
Hughie, who had just reunited with Mother's Milk and the others, was panting heavily. He said with a look of horror and a trembling voice, "Mr. Jervis killed Soldier Boy, just like he killed Translucent back then, he mashed his brain."
"Don't rush, speak slowly." Although Mother's Milk didn't know what had happened, he could tell the seriousness of the situation from Hughie's expression.
"His superpowers are far more than we imagined! Despair! I'm truly in despair now!"
Hughie swore that as long as he could leave alive this time, he would absolutely no longer get involved in anything related to Vought Tower. Without any doubt, everyone in The Boys against Mr. Jervis had only a dead end.
"Is that so? Am I really that terrifying?" Xia Shang said softly, smiling, standing behind Hughie.
The familiar voice made Hughie's body stiffen. Then, he slowly turned his head like a machine. The expression on his face was uglier than crying.
"Is it still in time if I surrender now?"
"I'm afraid it's too late."
