As if in a nuclear meltdown site, the high temperature distorted the surrounding air. Homelander was terrified, his life instinct screaming a warning like never before.
"Homelander, say goodbye to Yourself!"
Even though it was the first time seeing Russell use this ability, anyone who wasn't an idiot could sense the terror of this move from his murderous expression and the terrifying energy fluctuations he emitted!
The power of the laser eyes that the two could fire by just looking was already terrifying. Nothing on Earth could withstand their destruction.
But Russell was now using this ability, and he was even charging it up so seriously.
Homelander knew without thinking that even he might not be able to withstand this move!
"Quick, get out of the way, we'll be killed together!"
Maeve's expression was one of fear. Although she wanted to help subdue Homelander, she hadn't intended to sacrifice her own life. She retreated in a panic.
But the others were indifferent to being within the range of Russell's charging chest cannon attack, their expressions blank. Maeve was utterly bewildered.
Without her help in restraining him, the force suppressing Homelander's power immediately weakened.
"Get out of My way!"
Seeing the light cannon pulsing, the energy reaching its peak, about to fire, the red glow in Homelander's eyes surged, melting the hard ground into a pool of lava, leaving the non-flying people with nowhere to gain purchase.
Amidst the splashing hot lava, he spun and rolled, shaking off the others.
Homelander immediately wanted to fly up to the sky and escape, dodging this attack.
But Rubber Killer, still wrapped around him, was like an emotionless dead man, extending his body hundreds of meters long, tightly binding several surrounding buildings.
"Lunatics, a bunch of lunatics! What benefits did Vought give You!"
Homelander's upward trajectory was immediately blocked. Looking at Rubber Killer wrapped around him, his face was extremely ugly. Laser beams shot out, cutting at Rubber Killer's extended limbs.
He had only cut off two arms, it was already too late.
Boom!
"Ah ah ah..."
As if a Sun had crashed, it exploded with a roar. A thick beam of light roared, engulfing Homelander along with Rubber Killer.
As if thrown into a furnace, Homelander's screams echoed through several blocks.
It felt like an instant, and yet like a long time.
When the light faded, Maeve opened her eyes, like a clay or stone statue, stunned by the scene of the nuclear-like explosion before her.
Astonishing heat melted the asphalt road surface for hundreds of meters around. Streetlights and vehicles collapsed and melted like chocolate.
The upper halves of the steel buildings behind Homelander were directly vaporized and disappeared.
It was as if the entire sky's clouds were split by that beam of light.
"It hit..."
Russell, who had expended considerable energy, panted slightly, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes.
In fact, this somewhat useless move wasn't extremely energy-consuming; it just required a long charging time. If it weren't for Butcher and the others, it would have been impossible to hit Homelander.
But—as long as it hit, it would be easy to deal with!
"Hahaha... I... I'm still alive!"
Blown back dozens of meters, Homelander was covered in burns, his face unrecognizable, like a demon. He stumbled to his feet, but it seemed to be just skin and flesh wounds that were not immediately fatal.
Rubber Killer, who had desperately clung to Homelander, was dead, his body melted and twisted beyond recognition.
"Do You have a second shot?"
Homelander struggled to raise his head, looking at Russell with a mocking expression. He bent his legs, striking Homelander's signature slightly effeminate takeoff pose, preparing to escape.
"I... I admit this move of Yours is indeed very powerful, Infinite, it's a pity You still didn't kill Me. Even if I lost this time.
But... I will return sooner or later!"
With Russell's seemingly slow flying speed in his eyes, if he wanted to run, Russell couldn't possibly catch up.
Homelander's voice, full of resentment, echoed through the streets. Maeve was deeply shaken.
Even this hadn't killed Homelander. She immediately lunged towards Homelander.
"We can't let him get away. If Homelander escapes, who knows what he'll do to retaliate against us. He's already insane, everyone in the World will be in danger!"
[Homelander template acquired.]
"A second shot?"
Russell sneered, raising his hand to signal Maeve to calm down.
"Knowing You can't catch Me, You simply gave up?" Enduring the intense pain all over his body, Homelander sneered, preparing to launch himself and fly away. Spring... spring...
He jumped up in a comical posture, each time managing to get only a few centimeters off the ground before being pulled back by gravity. After several attempts, still trying, he looked like a comical Joker having a fit and trying to fly into the sky.
But no one on Earth didn't know that Homelander could fly.
"What is he doing?" The frantic Maeve quickly became confused.
After several attempts, he still hadn't flown into the sky. Homelander looked down at his feet with a stiff expression, gradually realizing something was wrong.
"Impossible!..."
.....
At this point Homelander is as strong as Superman
