However, The Seven wouldn't allow any 'survivors' to exist.
It was also fortunate that the Supervillain Alliance's base was located on an island, surrounded by water on all sides.
Even if that teleporter escaped, he couldn't get off this island at all.
Homelander also possessed x-ray vision, so as long as they conducted a carpet search later, they would eventually find that teleporter.
"Homelander, I'll leave that runaway to you. The others go inside the base and see if there's any detailed information about this Alliance member... Stormfront, you stay here."
After a simple annihilation battle, Kevin sent the others to handle things and kept Stormfront behind alone.
Homelander glanced at the helicopter above.
Once he confirmed that the helicopter would follow him, he no longer cared about the grievances between Kevin and Stormfront.
Rather, he was even hoping someone could deal with Stormfront for him, to deflate her arrogance.
The other members of The Seven also noticed the tension between Kevin and Stormfront, exchanged glances, didn't dare to linger, and followed Homelander to deal with the final cleanup.
Only after everyone had left did Kevin look at Stormfront.
"You... you're not really that petty..."
Seeing Kevin leave her alone, Stormfront immediately tried to say something.
However, the next second, an overwhelming wave of seawater submerged her.
Stormfront didn't have time to speak, purple electricity flickered around her, and her body instantly ascended, dodging the wave that was crashing down on her.
And seeing this, Stormfront knew that Kevin was indeed angry.
"Wait—"
Stormfront, flying in the air, tried to communicate with Kevin, but Kevin didn't give her any chance.
Since the water flow couldn't entangle Stormfront, Kevin simply gave up controlling the water.
He bent his legs, assuming a jumping stance, and with his Supe physique, he unleashed powerful strength, propelling his body from the ground and flying straight towards Stormfront in the air!
Kevin's strength on land was not weak, and his speed was not slow. With such a powerful leap, he arrived in front of Stormfront in the sky almost in the blink of an eye.
Stormfront's pupils constricted slightly, trying to dodge Kevin's propelled collision.
But the water in the sky had not yet been dispersed by Kevin; these waters wandering around became Kevin's footholds, assisting him in dodging and maneuvering in the air.
A splash of water burst under his feet, Kevin's body strangely turned at a right angle in the air, precisely grabbing Stormfront who was trying to dodge.
This time, Stormfront couldn't dodge in time and was hit squarely by Kevin, who took her with him in a straight fall from the sky.
"Damn it!"
Seeing the other party being so aggressive, Stormfront finally lost her temper.
Her body flickered with electricity, and endless currents struck Kevin's body, trying to knock him away.
But Kevin's body was like a rock unresponsive to electricity; no matter how much Stormfront increased the current, Kevin remained unfazed.
He stepped on Stormfront's body as they fell vertically to the ground, water surging around him, and his fist, wrapped in water formed by energy, heavily struck Stormfront's head.
Boom!!!
This hit was heavy; Kevin used about five-tenths of his strength, directly causing a noticeable bruise and bloodstains to appear on Stormfront's face.
Immediately followed by another punch, turning Stormfront's face to the other side.
Kevin seemed to be simply venting, punching Stormfront's face repeatedly.
Only when he felt it was enough did he kick Stormfront's body hard.
Stormfront was sent flying by Kevin's kick, her body flying backward until she shattered a distant rock, and then her body finally stopped.
After all this, Kevin shook his wrists and neck, and issued a warning to Stormfront:
"I don't know why you joined The Seven, but since you did, you have to listen to me."
"..."
Stormfront, with blood oozing from the corner of her mouth, slowly got up from the ground.
Her expression, which had been somewhat angry, instead showed a smile upon hearing this:
"I understand. You're not angry because I killed that guy, but because I didn't listen to you. If that's the case, then go on."
The smile on Stormfront's face made Kevin's expression freeze instead, and he frowned as he looked at her.
Is there something wrong with this guy's head? He hit her like this, and she isn't angry at all?
"...What exactly do you want to do?"
Because of Stormfront's incredibly bizarre reaction, Kevin instead lost the desire to hit her.
Stormfront, however, didn't care so much. She got up from the ground, wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, and walked towards Kevin:
"Don't worry about that for now. Since you're very angry, then take it out on me. What was that ability of yours last time? Anyway, the one that makes my heart stop, use it. I can take it."
"..." Kevin's face grew darker and darker as he watched Stormfront approach.
He had never heard such an outrageous request!
Alright, since you want it, I'll give it to you!
Seeing Stormfront getting closer, Kevin directly raised his hand towards her, concentrating fully on using his blood manipulation ability.
In that instant, Stormfront's face turned pale, and her body instantly bent over, almost collapsing to the ground.
But the more this happened, the brighter Stormfront's smile became.
She quickly got up and approached Kevin again:
"Yes, that's the feeling! Keep going!"
"!?"
Wait—don't come over!!!
Stormfront's reaction not only surprised Kevin but also made him feel she was a pervert.
He now didn't dare to let this perverted woman get any closer to him. Seeing her getting closer and closer, Kevin simply controlled the surrounding water flow, completely binding Stormfront in place.
Because Stormfront had little defense against Kevin, her body was perfectly entangled by the water flow.
But she neither struggled nor got angry; instead, she blinked at Kevin:
"Oh? You like this kind of play? It's okay, I can play with you, play what you and Starlight haven't."
"What the fuck do you want to do!!!"
For the first time, Kevin swore in front of someone.
It wasn't that he lacked manners; it was that the enemy was too outrageous!
Didn't she see that he was very angry? Didn't she know that she was completely controlled by Kevin right now, and Kevin could kill her if he wanted to?
What on earth was this woman thinking?!
Perhaps sensing Kevin's emotions, and knowing that if she didn't speak now, her life would truly be in danger, Stormfront stopped teasing Kevin.
Her voice softened, and her tone was no longer as annoying as before; instead, she said very calmly:
"I want to make you 'King'."
"?"
"Become the 'King of the Sea', become the King of the World. You, me, Homelander... we can conquer the entire world and become the Zeus, Jehovah... and Poseidon of the new world."
Stormfront spoke her long-held purpose with earnestness.
Kevin, upon hearing this, actually felt relieved.
Because this was Stormfront's goal in the original plot, except that unlike the original plot, there was an additional Kevin here.
Precisely because of this, the stronger Kevin's abilities became, the happier Stormfront was.
She didn't need someone with weak abilities to become king; on the contrary, the more assertive Kevin behaved, and the more powerful his abilities were, the more qualified he was to become the 'King' in her mind.
Listening to Stormfront's words, Kevin stared at her quietly.
After a moment, Kevin raised his hand to remove the water around Stormfront and said in a deep voice:
"I don't have such unrealistic ideas as yours."
"How can you call it 'unrealistic'? Think about it, Deep, we possess abilities beyond ordinary people. These abilities are enough to make us gods of a new era! And how can gods be bound by mortals?
"Those high-ranking executives of Vought, including Edgar, are not qualified to command us at all. We shouldn't listen to the commands of these 'mortals'."
"..."
Kevin looked at Stormfront.
He could see how serious Stormfront was when she said that.
For so many years, she probably thought this way, believing herself to be an existence above mortals, and that Supes should not be controlled by ordinary people.
Having Beyonder abilities, it was understandable to have such thoughts.
But Kevin had no intention of being a god.
At least, he had no intention of being the kind of god Stormfront spoke of.
"I'm not interested in what you're saying. As long as you listen to me within the Group from now on, I'm equally not interested in what you want to do."
Kevin intended to end the conversation.
But Stormfront didn't want to end it just like that. She took two steps forward and asked Kevin:
"Why aren't you interested? I can see that you're not content with just being a Vice President at Vought, are you? You don't like Edgar, and you don't like that group of executives telling you what to do. If that's the case, then why can't you be with me?"
"I..."
"I understand, is it because of Starlight? That little girl who believes in justice for everything?"
Stormfront suddenly shifted the topic to Annie.
Kevin didn't know what her thought process was like, how she inexplicably brought Annie into the conversation.
He also didn't want to argue with her and said directly:
"If you think so, then so be it. But no matter what you think, you'd better behave yourself. If I find out you hurt Starlight..."
Kevin vaguely clenched his right hand.
Stormfront's heart twitched again, and she almost knelt before Kevin.
"You can forget about your heart."
"..."
"Are you two done talking?"
Kevin and Stormfront's conversation came to an end. In the distance, Homelander was already walking over, holding a person's head.
It was precisely the head of the escaped psychic.
Homelander seemed to have been observing them with his Supe vision and Supe hearing. Seeing that Kevin had finished speaking with Starlight, he took the opportunity to bring everyone back.
Kevin took the cue from Homelander and said:
"We're done talking. Have you handled things on your end?"
"The runaway was caught, but we didn't find any information about their identities in their base. Their few outdated computers weren't even connected to the internet.
"However, we did find something else."
Homelander ignored the scars on Stormfront's face, didn't even ask what had happened, and went straight to the 'main topic', motioning for Black Noir behind him to step forward.
Black Noir obeyed the command and walked in front of Kevin, opening one hand to reveal the Compound V placed within it.
"Sure enough."
Kevin casually glanced at the helicopter that had already landed on the ground and the reporters who had emerged from it. Within the range where their cameras could capture sound, he said:
"...This is an experimental base illegally set up by Madelyn Stillwell..."
"Deep...! ?"
When Kevin uttered the name 'Madelyn', Homelander immediately appeared 'greatly surprised'. He was first incredulous, then looked at the reporters, and said to them:
"Stop filming...!"
"Uh... turn off the camera!"
The reporters frantically turned off their cameras, but because this was a live broadcast, the conversation between Kevin and Homelander had already been broadcast on various television stations via the live network.
Was this an accident?
The reporter sent by Vought was a little worried.
But to her surprise, once she confirmed that the cameras were completely off and no one was filming, Deep smiled at Homelander:
"Quick reaction."
"Likewise. Alright, this matter ends here. Let's go back."
Homelander commanded the remaining members of The Seven.
Clearly, Kevin had intentionally said 'Madelyn's' name, and Homelander had intentionally feigned shock.
And all of this was to pin the blame on the already deceased Madelyn.
They wanted to make everyone believe that Compound V and everything related to it was Madelyn Stillwell's fault.
