A-Train doubled over after taking another brutal hit, feeling like his insides were about to explode.
This armored figure who had appeared for the first time was even faster than him.
Unlike the other armored vigilante who was violently beating Homelander, this one who called himself Gauss moved so fast that even A-Train couldn't see him clearly.
"You're called A-Train because your speed matches a train, right? But even a bullet train can't keep up with me."
Marcus's taunt came from right next to his ear, and the void energy in his body fluctuated wildly, affecting his mind.
Soon after, A-Train's eyes flashed with blue light, and void power spread throughout his body.
Buzz~
Electronic beeps came from A-Train's body, and he started shaking violently, causing the air around him to ripple and make strange noises.
Thunk~
A-Train, who had been getting pummeled by Marcus, suddenly raised his hand and blocked Marcus's fist.
This caught Marcus a little off guard—not because his attack was blocked, but because A-Train had completed some kind of enhancement, and the strengthening effects were fully showing.
"Well... you blocked it. Looks like I need to use more force!"
Just as he spoke, A-Train threw a punch at Marcus. The enhanced speed had greatly boosted his strength, and this punch packed serious power.
"After beating me for so long, it's my turn!"
A-Train launched his attack with a smirk on his face. He wanted to smash Marcus into paste and return everything that just happened tenfold.
Slap~
Before the punch could connect with Marcus's body, Marcus casually swatted it aside, and only a gust of wind brushed against him.
"Heh, nice breeze." Marcus said, looking at A-Train. "Look at you—do you want another beating?"
As soon as the words left his mouth, Marcus vanished again. A-Train felt a massive force slam into his stomach, and his entire body flew backward in an instant.
But the force didn't stop there. The moment he hit the wall, he was yanked back and sent flying in the direction he came from.
This speed shocked A-Train. He had indeed gotten stronger, but his speed was only improved compared to his past self. Compared to Marcus's speed, he was no different from an ordinary person.
Thunk~ thunk thunk thunk...
Accompanied by a series of impact sounds, A-Train, who had been strengthened by his own power, completely shut down.
He couldn't understand how he'd met an opponent who was faster than him.
Not only was this guy beating him senseless, but Queen Maeve, Black Noir, and Starlight around him were all getting the same treatment from this person.
Fortunately, this guy who claimed to be from the Tenno Council was treating them like toys and didn't seem interested in killing them.
Otherwise, with Marcus's current speed, even if they died, they wouldn't know how it happened.
Of course, compared to their situation, Homelander was obviously having it worse. His powerful abilities didn't make things any better for him—instead, they became the reason for his constant beating.
The clone wielded a golden staff, attacking Homelander in a relentless storm of blows.
This made Homelander furious, but at the same time left him feeling helpless. His strength was indeed the greatest among the Seven, but facing the clone's attacks, he was completely unable to defend himself.
It didn't take long for these so-called heroes to end up with bruised and swollen faces, not a single one of them looking good.
"Alright, Wukong, I'm heading back first. Make sure you don't beat these guys to death, or there won't be any fun left."
After speaking, Marcus disappeared instantly before everyone's eyes.
The clone was also controlled by Marcus again, smashing Homelander into the rubble with his staff.
"That guy's right—if I beat you to death, there won't be any fun left."
After that, he also transformed into a cloud and shot straight into the sky, leaving the scene.
This scene stunned everyone present. The world-renowned Seven couldn't resist these two unknown guys.
Just two people had defeated all of the famous Seven, and judging by how relaxed the two looked, they obviously still had plenty of energy left. Even if the Seven were doubled in number, they wouldn't be able to compete with them.
The news spread around the world that same day, and people everywhere were discussing the Tenno Council, wanting to find out the organization's origins.
But after several days of discussion, people around the world came to one conclusion: no one knew where the Tenno Council was, which surprised everyone globally.
Such an organization with superhumans more powerful than Vought Corporation was actually unknown throughout the world, and almost no one was willing to believe this.
How could an unknown organization control such powerful superhumans?
Institutions all over the world were thinking about this question: what kind of organization is this Tenno Council?
Almost the entire world's attention was focused on New York, waiting for people from the Tenno Council to appear again.
After all, for now, the Tenno Council had only appeared in New York—both Wukong and Gauss had shown up here.
Although Gauss had said he was looking at Vought Company as prey, they still felt something was off.
Why would such a powerful organization target a company that packages superhumans?
Even if Vought Corporation controlled the Seven, it shouldn't attract the attention of these people, especially since their power was much stronger than the Seven's.
Marcus ignored the speculation from around the world. He still stayed in his hotel every day like a shut-in.
He had been in New York for too long. Even though this world was different, New York was roughly the same. It didn't hold any meaning for him anymore.
However, his partners were paying special attention to news about Marcus.
Billy and the others, who were about to head to a charity organization affiliated with Vought Company, were checking Marcus's identity information through the internet.
"Our partner turned out to be from a secret organization!"
Hughie rested his chin on one hand and watched the online video, which showed Wukong and Gauss violently beating the Seven.
In the hands of the two Tenno Council members, the Seven couldn't resist at all. If the two hadn't treated these superhumans as toys, these superhumans would have been beaten to death directly.
"Oh man, they're so cool, especially that Gauss guy—I love his moves!"
Frenchie came over with a smile on his face. He couldn't help getting excited seeing the Seven getting beaten down.
Hughie was equally happy. He looked thrilled that A-Train was getting beaten, and even imagined himself as Gauss, showing off his power and giving A-Train a fierce beating.
