American comics: From the black robes to becoming the ultimate Doomsday

While cursing his bad luck, Harris was already preparing to run away.

"If you dare leave, I'll smash your head in. You can try if you don't believe me!" Pei Yuan stared at him, his murderous intent palpable.

Harris's feet froze in place.

“I’m not interested in what you want to do. Find me a secluded place to stay, and I won’t do anything to you. Otherwise, I’d be unsure what might happen,” Pei Yuan said kindly, snapping a dagger from his waist.

"A friendship or an enemy that transcends humanity—you should know how to choose!"

Seeing that he could reason with her, Harris breathed a sigh of relief, then cursed Lady Luck in his heart, wondering how he could have so easily run into such a jinx.

Harris had no choice but to find his car, take Pei Yuan, and drive him to a secluded residence.

This was already on the edge of Pennsylvania, far from the center of the Sage's Forest, and Pei Yuan was quite satisfied.

He didn't let his guard down around Harris, but after following Harris and discovering that he hadn't done anything to report anything, he was temporarily relieved.

the next morning.

Standing in front of the mirror in the room, Pei Yuan couldn't help but sigh as he looked at his body.

Because of a night of fighting, his body was covered with bruises, all marks left by bullets.

His body does indeed have the ability to protect against fatal bullet wounds, but the kinetic energy still caused him considerable damage.

However, this situation was much better than before, and Pei Yuan then checked his attribute panel.

[Multiverse Role-Playing System.]

[Current role: Doomsday.]

[Template unlock progress: 10.8%]

[Ability: ▼]

[Destruction Ray: LV1 (3.8%)]

【Superhuman Physique: LV1 (8.2%)】

[Playing Value: 862]

Upon seeing the final numerical value, Pei Yuan was somewhat taken aback.

Before that, his acting points were only a pitiful hundred or so, but after that night of chaos, they increased by more than seven hundred.

Especially the lamplighter who died at his hands, who provided him with over four hundred role-playing points, which was equivalent to a day's earnings.

At this moment, Pei Yuan couldn't help but sigh, indeed, the name lived up to its name; destruction and devastation were the best ways to play Doomsday.

He found the TV in the room, turned it on, and searched for the news. After watching several commercials featuring Vought International superheroes, Pei Yuan finally saw Pennsylvania's news of the day.

The events at the center of the Sage's Forest did not take up much space.

The description was quite interesting. It said that in a mental hospital, due to negligence, a severely mentally ill patient ignited the gas, causing a gas pipeline explosion that resulted in heavy casualties among the patients.

The lamplighter was portrayed as a hero who bravely sacrificed himself to save mental patients.

On television, Homelander expressed his regret over the sacrifice of his recently retired teammate, Lighthouse, and declared during the live broadcast that they would strengthen security measures at the mental hospital so that Pennsylvania residents could live in peace without panic.

Finally, let's also take a look at the selection process for the seventh member of the Vought Super Seven.

Pei Yuan scoffed at this.

He couldn't help but marvel at the Vought International's powerful public relations capabilities; a negative event could be transformed into an opportunity for Vought to boost the reputation of its superheroes.

The hidden dark secrets were thoroughly cleaned up.

While Pei Yuan was watching the news, in a room somewhere in Manhattan, New York, former FBI Black Ops Group leader Butcher was also seeing the news.

Out of his hostility toward the Water Group, he never missed a single piece of news about the Water Group.

These past few days he's seen the news about one of the Seven's team, Locomotive, hitting and killing an ordinary person, and he's planning to stir up some trouble over it.

"Shit, a lamplighter would die saving someone?" Butcher's face was full of sarcasm after reading the contents.

A year ago, the Lamplighter, in order to stop his old boss Mallory's investigation into superhumans, burned his old boss's grandsons alive.

This incident directly led Mallory to become disheartened and disband the Black Ops Group. The FBI subsequently sealed the files, dismissed those involved, and prohibited further investigations into superhumans.

To say that this guy would heroically sacrifice himself to save people is like believing that God is gay; he doesn't believe a single word from Walter News.

"Walter, what are you hiding...?"

Butcher leaned closer to the television screen, staring intently at the photo of the mental hospital on the screen, his eyes narrowed.

Chapter 10 [Nelson, the Werewolf of the Forest]

Rooftop of a room somewhere in Pennsylvania.

Inside the safe house, Harris was moving several mirrors from the room to the balcony and then arranging them in a circle.

This was naturally the request from the superhuman he had met last night. To be honest, he didn't quite understand what that Asian superhuman wanted to do.

However, it seems that the superhuman is quite easy to talk to, as long as he follows the instructions.

With the superhuman making no excessive demands, Harris only wanted to get rid of this superhuman plague as soon as possible.

As for resistance, he didn't dare even entertain such a thought; that would be tantamount to suicide, a lesson constantly reminded of the fate of one of his brothers.

"Are there any other superhumans in these neighborhoods?" Pei Yuan, having finished his meal, came to the balcony and asked the white man in front of him.

To be honest, after discovering that he could greatly increase his role-playing value by fighting or killing those superhumans, Pei Yuan thought about killing some of them.

Anyway, there aren't many good people among the superhumans in this world.

"I don't know about that. I don't usually do business related to superhumans."

Harris was telling the truth. Most of the superhumans he encountered were people who couldn't communicate normally. It was perfectly normal for them to openly rob and demand things, relying on their abilities.

"If you don't know anything about superhumans, do you know a black-bearded guy named Butcher?"

Pei Yuan is currently unaware of the time frame, while he is in the heart of the jungle.

Based on the fact that Storm had not yet taken control of the Sage's Forest, he deduced that the timeframe should be before the start of the main characters' events.

If he could get close to the main characters, he would naturally want to pick up a few kills along the way.

For example, an invisible person.

Even a retired lamplighter could provide him with so much role-playing value, so he would never give up on the head of that invisible man.

Otherwise it would be such a waste, and the role-playing value gained from shooting those guards earlier was almost negligible.

Butcher is still focused on killing the Big Seven, and his betrayal is not expected when he finally finds Soldier Boy to fight Homelander.

Pei Yuan had always wondered if the Vought Group had some kind of mind-controlling superhuman, otherwise he wouldn't be able to understand Butcher's actions, which were even more green than a green-haired turtle.

In order to save the son of his enemy, who had been cuckolded by his own wife, and to help his enemy deal with the helpers he had recruited.

This makes one wonder about Butcher's mental state at that time.

Recalling the impression in his mind, Harris said, "This man is very famous in the black market. He is good at fighting and can withstand attacks. It is said that he used to be a member of the FBI and is a well-known ruthless character."

However, that guy is supposedly investigating a locomotive lately, perhaps because it ran over and killed a pedestrian while stopping bank robbers.

Locomotive is one of the seven giants of the Vought Group and is known as the fastest man in America. Harris simply cannot understand how anyone would dare to investigate such an inhuman being.

For those superhuman beings who are not human, what difference is there between this and sending them to their deaths?

Hearing this, Pei Yuan pondered. He remembered that in the original plot, the locomotive was not actually stopping the robbers.

Instead, he took Compound V while transporting it, which caused his powers to go out of control and he ran over and killed Robin, Hughie's girlfriend, who was standing by the roadside.

Of course, none of this has much to do with Pei Yuan.

His main purpose was to assess the timeline of events. If the Invisible Man was still alive, then he had a lot to offer. He didn't want to directly confront Walter yet.

You need to accumulate some role-playing points first, then develop some abilities, and wait until your strength improves.

After Harris set up the mirrors, Pei Yuan went inside and sat in a chair surrounded by mirrors.

The surrounding mirrors reflected sunlight, focusing it all onto him.

At this moment, Pei Yuan discovered that under the sun's rays, he didn't feel much heat, and he also noticed that the rate at which his performance value increased had increased to some extent.

These increases are still a drop in the ocean compared to the pace of rising consumption, but something is better than nothing.

After basking in the sun for a while and listening to his performance value increase, Pei Yuan looked at Harris, who was fiddling with guns inside the house, and asked, "Could you help me find out the address of this Butcher, or a guy named Hughie who works at a video store?"

Harris looked at Pei Yuan's strange behavior of sitting in the focused sunlight and shook his head: "I don't want to get involved with that kind of ruthless character. Besides, his location is hard to find. As for that guy named Hughie, there are so many people with the same name in New York. I'm not sure I can find him."

Pei Yuan smiled and said, "In return, I can do you a favor, such as killing a certain opponent or a superhuman."

Harris's hand trembled as Pei Yuan's words suddenly reminded him of his brother who had been killed and the superhuman scum who had stolen another batch of his goods.

He had to admit that the words of the Asian youth in front of him were somewhat tempting.

After a long pause, Harris said, "There's a guy named Nelson, his nickname is the Timberwolf..."

……

at the same time.

A Waters Security Department in Pennsylvania.

"Oh shit, Jake, what the hell did you bring back?"
