Chapter 79 - 79

Facing this situation, Li Yue had several options!

The first option was to directly use his superpower to instantly disappear from his original spot. This way, even if that figure was incredibly fast, they wouldn't be able to collide with him.

The second option was for Li Yue to transform himself into a metallic state. In that case, even if the figure crashed into him, he wouldn't suffer any harm.

Both choices would ensure Li Yue remained unharmed. However, after Li Yue sensed the rapidly approaching figure and noticed the bloodstains on their clothes, he chose not to dodge!

With a thought, Li Yue's body was instantly covered in silver electricity. He clenched his right hand into a fist and directly punched the figure rushing towards him.

Bang!!

Although the figure was very fast and had immense impact force, facing Li Yue in his Thor-like state, no accident occurred. Li Yue knocked him flying with a single punch.

After flying straight for over ten meters, the figure finally crashed heavily onto the ground. He rolled several times before coming to a stop. Li Yue, however, remained standing in his original spot, not retreating an inch!

Perhaps it was because the figure's physical quality was quite strong, but after rolling on the ground a few times, the figure didn't seem to be significantly hurt. He just got up from the ground looking a bit disheveled.

"You... who are you?"

The person looked at Li Yue, who was surrounded by countless lightning bolts, with a shocked expression in his eyes.

At this moment, Li Yue also clearly saw the figure's appearance: a blue tight-fitting suit, wearing sunglasses! And the front of his clothes was stained with blood! He was carrying a bag, but Li Yue didn't know what was inside.

"This attire? And bloodstains on his clothes? Could it be..."

At this point, Li Yue already had an idea about the situation in this world. It must be something he had seen in his previous life! But Li Yue couldn't be sure yet!

"I can't stop, I can't stop..."

The figure, with fear in his eyes, glanced at Li Yue and muttered to himself. Then, he quickly moved his legs, like a bullet leaving a gun, and sped past Li Yue.

Li Yue didn't try to stop him again this time. He could now pretty much confirm what world he had arrived in.

"The Green Hat... bah, the world of 'The Boys.' This world is not easy to deal with!"

Li Yue felt a wave of helplessness. This world was indeed not easy to deal with!

This world was from an American TV series Li Yue had watched in his previous life, which told the story of "superheroes." Unfortunately, the "superheroes" in this world were not superheroes in the ordinary sense!

Unlike the superheroes in the Marvel and DC worlds! The image of superheroes in this world completely subverted people's perceptions. They no longer took fighting crime and achieving justice as their ideals.

Instead, they fully revealed their dark side, becoming ruthless thugs who disregarded the law, were violent and arrogant, and indiscriminately killed innocent people.

Everything they did was controlled by the public relations teams and companies behind them, with the goal of using the influence of superheroes to make various amounts of money.

The specific situation was very similar to the traffic stars and internet celebrities in Li Yue's previous life! They were packaged by the teams behind them, and their personas were designed, while they were the "actors" performing on the front stage!

But what was even more terrifying than celebrities and internet celebrities was that the superheroes in this world possessed superpowers that ordinary people couldn't compare to. And there were many superpowered individuals in this world, as many as 200,000!

...Currently, it's an era of superheroes. An international group called Vought recruits people born with superpowers to join their ranks every year.

These superhumans are sent all over the country to participate in maintaining public order. Vought International has maximized its hero brand operation, with annual revenue from movies and merchandise copyrights alone amounting to a multi-billion dollar industry.

Among the more than two hundred superhumans under Vought International, the most outstanding ones are:

Six members of The Seven: Homelander, Queen Maeve, Translucent, A-Train, The Deep, and Black Noir.

The others were all fine, Li Yue wasn't afraid of them at all, but Li Yue had no way of dealing with Homelander!

He was a weakened version of DC's Superman. Although his strength was more than one level lower than the original Superman, he basically had all of Superman's abilities: flight, super strength, super speed, heat vision, and so on.

With Li Yue's current strength, if he were to confront him head-on, Li Yue wouldn't stand a chance!

The most important thing is that he doesn't have his own bottom line like the original Superman and never crosses it. For example, no human has ever died under his heat vision!

Homelander, however, was a cruel, murderous, and extremely perverted individual. He even developed a mother complex because he grew up in a laboratory and lacked maternal love! This was also the reason why Vought's high-ranking officials could control him!

The number of people who died under his heat vision was countless... But since he was here, he would make the best of it. He still needed to find a way to improve his strength.

"Xiaodai, connect to this world's network!"

"Okay, sir! Connecting to nearby WiFi signals. Successfully connected to this world's network!"

Xiaodai's actions were very fast, worthy of being created by Tony.

"Search for all kinds of information about this world. Don't project it virtually, send it directly to my phone! Also, invade the security system and forge a legitimate identity for me!"

Li Yue continued to instruct Xiaodai. This was the main reason Li Yue had Tony create Xiaodai. Li Yue didn't want to cross over to a strange world and, before he even understood where he was, be surrounded by a large group of police. That would be very troublesome!

"Sir, Xiaodai has followed your instructions and is currently invading the security system. It is estimated to take 1 hour and 21 minutes to complete."

"The latest data for this world has been searched and sent to your phone. Please check it yourself!"

Xiaodai's voice came, and Li Yue took out the phone Tony had made and began to check the situation of this world... After more than an hour, Li Yue basically understood the situation of this world!

This world was not like the show, which only showed "The Seven" superhero team. There were also "Teenage Kix" (parody of Teen Titans), "The Revengers" (parody of The Avengers), "G-Men" (parody of X-Men), and other superhero teams... However, The Seven had the highest popularity, while the other teams were second-tier teams! It's worth mentioning that Lamplighter (parody of Green Lantern) from The Seven had already retired!

So Vought International was searching worldwide for the next powerful superpowered individual to recruit into The Seven!

After basically understanding the situation, Li Yue silently made a decision in his heart!

"Xiaodai, help me record a video!"

Li Yue instructed Xiaodai!
