'How did he know that I was meeting Soldier Boy?'
'Is this a conspiracy?'
'A trap?'
The President immediately looked toward Mallory.
Mallory was also shocked.
The meeting between Soldier Boy and the President was a secret among secrets.
From the time she had arranged everything to today's meeting, everything had been carried out in secret.
How could Homelander know?
At this moment, she noticed the President looking at her and immediately shook her head, "I didn't leak it, Mr. President."
Whoosh!
The ceiling of the room was thrown away by Homelander, crashing onto the helicopter the President had been riding in earlier.
Homelander looked down at the scene in the room with satisfaction.
The scene just now, with President Rick Archibald shaking hands with Soldier Boy, had already been captured by reporters from various media outlets.
The Federation's media had always been the kind that never minded making a scene. They chased hot topics, loved digging up scandals involving important figures, and dared to publish them.
News like today's was enough to let them celebrate for a year or six months.
And among this group of reporters, no one was more excited than Batalon.
Yesterday, he had just obtained the news that Soldier Boy had destroyed the "TNT Twins'" mansion, causing a large number of casualties.
Today, he had captured photos of the President meeting and shaking hands with a superhuman criminal.
Putting the two together, the impact was not as simple as one plus one.
Instead, it would create a chain reaction. This was no longer a heavyweight bomb.
It was a nuclear bomb.
A nuclear bomb powerful enough to reshuffle the Federation's political landscape.
And he had actually captured such news.
How could he not be excited, not thrilled?
At the same time, he now understood why Angelina had not allowed him to release yesterday's news immediately.
Because if that news had been released, the President would never have met Soldier Boy today.
And how could today's century-scale scandal have happened?
"Quick!"
"Get out of here!"
Rick Archibald's face was ashen as he quickly rushed out of the room, using his hands to shield his head.
Even so, he could not stop the reporters from constantly chasing after him and taking photos.
Soldier Boy silently picked up the shield leaning against the wall and looked at Homelander in midair.
"If I kill him here, will the President's promise still be fulfilled?"
Mallory nodded forcefully.
Soldier Boy smiled, then suddenly shot into the sky and lunged toward Homelander in midair.
Homelander smiled and shifted his body slightly. Soldier Boy passed right by him and landed on the distant military base's training ground.
He looked back at the reporters in the helicopter.
"I'll be right back."
His body sank slightly, then he slapped his head and said, "Oh, right. There's a party tonight too. You definitely don't want to miss it."
Only then did he land on the training ground.
A smile appeared on Homelander's face. He spread his hands and walked toward Soldier Boy.
"No way."
"Bro, you don't really think you can kill me, do you?"
"With all due respect, you're already past your prime. That's true in every aspect."
"And even if you really kill me, do you think you'll have good days afterward?"
"The President will let you kill me today, and tomorrow he'll have someone else kill you."
"Wake up. They're all hypocrites."
"They won't keep their promises to you."
Soldier Boy smiled, "I've met plenty of people like you."
"Self-important, looking down on everyone."
"Of course, I don't really have the right to say that about you, because I'm the same kind of person."
As he spoke, he lifted an off-road vehicle that had been sitting on the training ground and violently threw it toward Homelander.
Homelander's smile did not change. His eyes quickly lit up with a pure golden color.
The next second, two golden beams of light shot out.
As soon as the awakened "Thermonuclear Ray" appeared, the temperature throughout the entire military base immediately soared, instantly making the entire area scorching hot.
The golden beams, as hot as the blazing sun, caused the air to distort, while all the moisture evaporated.
The two beams swept along the ground and gently flicked upward, splitting the off-road vehicle in two.
Soldier Boy rolled sideways, narrowly avoiding Homelander's beams.
The two beams eventually swept across the military base's engine room and power station, causing a series of explosions at the rear of the base.
Amid the flames of the explosions, Soldier Boy charged over at high speed and slammed a punch into Homelander's face.
His fist struck Homelander's face, producing a ring of shockwaves.
Then Homelander reached out and moved his fist away, smiling as he said, "Everyone says you're past your prime, but you still won't believe it."
"With this little strength, even if I stood here and let you hit me, you couldn't make me bleed a single drop."
After saying that, Homelander threw a punch as well.
Soldier Boy raised his heavy shield.
The quality of this shield was pretty good, but unfortunately, it wasn't a vibranium shield.
Homelander's punch landed, and the shield immediately shattered into pieces. Soldier Boy was sent flying backward by the force of the punch.
BOOM!
Soldier Boy crashed into a dormitory building.
A soldier who had originally been watching the battle from the window was now trembling in both legs as he looked at the opening just a short distance away.
If his position had been shifted just a few centimeters to the left earlier, he figured he would have gone to meet God.
"Damn it!"
Soldier Boy pushed away the stones pressing down on him, stood up, and spat out some stone dust.
Then he rushed out through the opening again.
In the blink of an eye, he and Homelander exchanged punches and kicks, fighting each other.
Only, if the offensive consisted of ten points, Soldier Boy accounted for only three, while Homelander accounted for a full seven.
And, Homelander wasn't even fighting seriously.
He had been constantly thinking about how to deal with Soldier Boy.
"Killing him seems a little wasteful. After all, his ability can make superhumans lose their abilities."
"But he doesn't seem like someone who can listen to reason."
"And he certainly won't be as obedient to me as Angelina."
Soldier Boy slammed a punch into Homelander's chest. The other party did not react at all, merely instinctively kicking him.
Soldier Boy raised both hands to block the kick and was sent sliding back a hundred meters by Homelander's kick, both feet plowing long trenches into the ground.
Looking at Homelander's absent-minded appearance, Soldier Boy spat.
Then his chest began to light up.
The sand and stones around him continuously rolled toward him.
The enormous amount of radiation made his chest look as if a searchlight had been installed inside it, shining so brightly that it was difficult to look directly at.
But just as he was about to fire that astonishingly powerful torrent of energy at Homelander, Homelander's figure suddenly flashed in front of him, and then Soldier Boy saw the sky.
Homelander had lifted him up.
At the same time, the energy torrent that had already reached its critical point shot into the sky, forming a brilliant pillar of light that shot straight into the high sky.
[T/N: New Novel guys. It's an original. Super good kinda. Here's the synopsis:
Title: Transmigrated Into an Eldritch World, I Am the Strongest?
Synopsis:
Transmigrated into another world where Eldritch run rampant, Lynn finds he's become a knockoff pseudo-god whose divine power has run dry and who's about to fade away.
Outside the church, indescribable horrors are pounding on the door, and the despairing countdown begins.
To save himself, Lynn grits his teeth and fabricates a full-dive VR online game called [Old Gods Awaken], summoning a batch of hardcore players from Blue Star to be his believers.
He figured this bunch would tremble in fear under the Eldritch's torment, but things spiraled completely out of control...
Player A (fanatical): "Guys, this headless wraith's physical hitbox is bugged! Block it with a door and take turns chipping at it for the first kill!"
Player B (excited): "This Great Old One's tentacle has a drop check! Eat it raw for +5 poison resistance, come bite!"
Player C (pensive): "If we tie up all the NPCs in this town, the cultists won't find anyone to sacrifice. That's what you call a logic clear!"
Watching the Eldritch monsters outside the door literally scared shitless by the players, and the local natives staring at him with awestruck, crazed eyes and worshiping him as the "Supreme Lord of Chaos", Lynn, sitting on the divine throne, looks majestic and unmatched on the surface, but inside he's panicking like an old dog: 'Stop filling in the blanks! I really am not some indescribable source of horror, I just couldn't hold back this Fourth Calamity bunch!']
