Chapter 16: Goodbye, Return

A fan?

Homelander seemed not to have reacted yet, looking somewhat dazed and naive.

But soon, Butcher proved with his actions that he really was a fan, though... of the more extreme variety.

Eight years, eight whole years!

In order to find his wife Becca, he had lived a life worse than death for these eight years!

Now, finally able to take revenge, Butcher was filled with rage; he roared and took half a step forward, his eyes releasing scorching golden beams!

Heat vision?

Homelander's pupils constricted, but his reaction was lightning-fast; he immediately countered with his own heat vision.

Boom!

One red, one gold, like two dragons entangled.

The two high-temperature beams collided in the air, triggering a violent explosion.

Gale winds raged and whistled, scorching heat waves spilled out, and amidst the scattering smoke and dust, Butcher seemed to transform into a vengeful ghost, charging straight at Homelander.

In his fury, Butcher's speed was on par with Homelander's.

His five fingers suddenly clenched and gripped, the air seemingly scrambling to slip away from between his fingers; as his tendons and muscles coordinated, it sounded as if bursts of thunder were ringing out.

"Homelander, give me back my wife!!!"

"???"

Although Homelander was completely bewildered, he also clenched his fist to strike back: "I don't even know your wife, damn it!"

Bang!

A low and massive sound exploded across the empty wilderness!

Wild winds rose suddenly, the wheat seedlings bowed low, layers of air waves spread out with the two as the center, and the tyrannical shockwave swept in all directions, trampling the surroundings into a mess.

The ground seemed unable to bear the power of the two, emitting a groan of unbearable burden; it actually collapsed several inches all at once, and smoke and dust, carrying mud and sand, rushed toward the sky like a curtain!

The farm, which had been quiet and peaceful just a short while ago, turned into ruins in the blink of an eye.

The two formidable bodies exchanged hundreds of blows in an instant; the power generated during their collisions acted like invisible hands, pushing the air away, layer upon layer like surging waves!

A deafening roar, mixed with the explosive sound waves generated by breaking the sound barrier, erupted in this abandoned farm!

"Are... are we going to help?"

Frenchie swallowed a mouthful of saliva, wiped the cold sweat from his face, and turned his head to look at Mother's Milk.

"Help? How are we supposed to help?"

Mother's Milk's mouth twitched; the two of them were purely redundant!

When gods fight, mortals suffer... they had thought that injecting Compound V would make them a bit more powerful.

Now it seemed they had thought too much; they simply weren't worthy!

Forgot to mention, the superpower Mother's Milk obtained was the ability to cover his entire body in hard spikes, just like a porcupine, but he couldn't fire them.

Frenchie's superpower... could allow his two arms to detach from his body.

Fortunately, Alvin hadn't paid much attention to these two anyway; they were just brought along to make up the numbers, the real main force still had to be Butcher!

"Wow, as expected of Butcher."

Alvin, in mid-air, looked at the two locked in fierce battle and couldn't help but exclaim: "To actually be able to fight Homelander to a standstill."

Butcher's "life-for-a-life" fighting style had truly frightened Homelander.

He had tried to fly into the sky several times, but was suppressed by Alvin, who was watching from the side, using telekinetic psionics!

If it were only Butcher, Homelander wouldn't be afraid, but there was also an extremely insidious bastard who was always taking cold shots at him from the side!

After a few exchanges, Homelander gradually fell into a disadvantage, being punched in the face several times by Butcher.

That face, which was originally quite handsome, was beaten until it swelled up, and his hairstyle became messy; although he was extremely angry, a trace of cowardice grew in his heart.

Unlike ordinary people, cowardice actually stimulated Homelander's survival instinct, and he actually suppressed the crazed Butcher.

"Damn it, Alvin, where is your medicine!"

Butcher, taking hits head-on and struggling to hold on, finally couldn't help it and roared at Alvin in the sky: "Hurry up and take it out for me, I can't hold on anymore!"

"Wait a little longer!"

At this moment, Alvin calmed his mind and focused his attention.

He wanted to try a bold idea, which might very well lead to unknown consequences, but in order to test the limits of psionics in other worlds, he had to do this!

Although he didn't know what Alvin was up to, Butcher knew deeply that the two of them were now grasshoppers tied to the same rope, so he could only curse in his heart while desperately dragging Homelander down.

And Homelander?

He had already realized that today was a death trap specifically set for him; under the influence of his survival instinct, he erupted with even more powerful strength, desperately trying to shake off Butcher.

"Hurry up, I can't hold on!"

Butcher was truly unable to hold on anymore, being pressed to the ground and beaten violently by the crazed Homelander.

"Ready!"

Alvin suddenly opened his eyes, and the psionic power around his body surged and fluctuated like a tsunami!

In an instant, Homelander sensed danger.

It was a terror that could truly threaten his life, something he had never experienced before; he disregarded everything and wanted to escape.

But, it was too late!

"Doomsday Vortex!!!"

The veins on Alvin's forehead bulged, and icy blue flames burned fiercely.

The massive psionic energy directly distorted space-time, as if it were going to pierce through the material universe and reach the High Heaven, where countless souls echoed!

"No, no!!!"

Homelander screamed in terror, desperately trying to fly away from this terrifying area.

The space distorted by the psionic energy snapped his legs, and blood sprayed into mid-air.

"Ahhh!"

Homelander's face was twisted in pain, and he could no longer control himself and fell down.

But the space distorted by the psionic energy immediately returned to its original state.

"As expected... in other universes, it's impossible to open a rift between the material universe and the Warp." Alvin was drenched in sweat as if dehydrated, his pupils filled with deep exhaustion, and he gasped for air.

Homelander, with his legs broken, wailed and screamed, his eyes filled with fear.

Since he was born, he had never suffered such a serious injury; his iron body allowed him to face guns and cannons calmly, but now... that self-confidence had been shattered!

"Success! We succeeded!"

Butcher's ecstasy could hardly be contained; the invincible Homelander... had finally fallen!

But just at this moment, another figure suddenly joined the battlefield.

With heroic long hair and a curvaceous figure, it was none other than a member of The Seven, Queen Maeve!

"Homelander?"

Queen Maeve showed a look of horror upon seeing Homelander's injuries.

"Quick, save me, Maeve!" Homelander was overjoyed, not expecting to find a way out of a desperate situation: "These people want to kill me, hurry and save me!"

"Damn it!"

Butcher's pupils narrowed, and golden lasers shot out.

But Queen Maeve was extremely fast, directly blocking the lasers and protecting Homelander behind her.

"What a pity..."

Looking at Queen Maeve, who had suddenly joined the battlefield, Alvin knew that the opportunity had been missed.

Once Vought learned that Homelander was in danger, they would soon send reinforcements; with the heavily injured Homelander protected by Queen Maeve, it was basically impossible to end the battle in a short time.

Is this what is called 'Destiny's Protection'?

The plan to obtain 'Source Power' had failed, but Alvin did not feel disappointed.

He had originally intended to use this opportunity to test the difficulty of killing protagonists or villains, so as to have a rough mental preparation for obtaining 'Source Power' in the future.

Now it seemed that it was indeed not easy to easily kill characters protected by 'Destiny'.

"What now?"

Butcher looked at Alvin; he still didn't want to give up this opportunity to kill Homelander: "I'll hold off Queen Maeve, you go finish Homelander?"

"Sorry, time's up."

Alvin looked down at his bracelet and showed a smile to everyone.

The group, who were about to beat each other's brains out, were all stunned on the spot by this sudden sentence, unable to figure out what Alvin was up to.

But, in the very next second, Alvin bowed to everyone quite gentlemanly and politely: "Thank you all for your care over the past few days; I hope that when we meet next time, you will all be in good health."

As the voice fell, the time hit zero exactly!

【Stay time has ended】

【Insufficient Source Points, unable to fix anchor point】

【Insufficient energy, unable to continue staying】

【Respected Navigator, will return to the original world immediately】

Then, under everyone's gaze, Alvin suddenly disappeared.

It was as if he had never appeared, leaving no trace behind.

The scene fell into an eerie silence, and the remaining heavily injured Homelander, as well as Queen Maeve, slowly shifted their gaze to Butcher, Frenchie, and Mother's Milk.

In an instant, Butcher's eyes were about to split, a mouthful of old blood surged up, and he blurted out: "F*** your mother, Alvin!" ===== CHAPTER 17 =====
