American comics: From Hogwarts to God on Earth

Chapter 338 Butcher's Intentions

From his self-questioning just now, Homelander could tell that Clark was a good man, and a good man—

In this world, good people are always the easiest to die!

"What are you doing?"

Homelander tilted his head, a contemptuous smile on his face: "What am I doing? They've benefited too much under my rule. If it weren't for me, they would have been killed by those robots long ago. Now I'm just letting them get what they deserve, showing them that without my protection, those ordinary people you want to protect are nothing but a pile of rotten flesh!"

Clark was shocked by Homelander's words. He wasn't a rune and didn't have the ability to read minds, so he didn't know if Homelander's claim of protecting ordinary people was true or false. However, he understood that Homelander's current desire to kill all ordinary people was real. He glared angrily at Homelander, who continued speaking.

"I know the bastard behind you wants to give this wasteland a new ruler and keep producing Compound V, but so what?" Homelander said through gritted teeth, "What I can't have, you can't have either!"

In a fit of rage, Clark grabbed Homelander's left arm with one hand.

Homelander's face showed surprise and confusion. "What are you going to do?!" - Aa ...

The reason he screamed was simple: Clark had broken his left arm. Driven by extreme anger, Superman almost lost his mind. He began to slowly and steadily break Homelander's limbs one by one, while Homelander begged for mercy in pain.

Although Homelander endured many horrific human experiments during his childhood, including cruel experiments that attempted to explore the limits of his physical body and even had his bones broken, these experiences did not make him accustomed to pain. Instead, they instilled a psychological trauma in him regarding pain.

Even as Homelander wept uncontrollably, Superman remained unmoved. Fortunately, he held onto his last shred of decency and didn't kill him. Clark then casually tossed the damned bastard to the ground, leaving him to writhe in agony. Clark didn't have time to take him to the hospital; finding the people on Homelander's orders and stopping them was more important.

Clark flew directly towards the raven.

"Quick, use your magic to help me! Someone might already be slaughtering ordinary people!" Clark said anxiously, also mentioning Homelander's actions.

As for Raven, she was rather helpless. She didn't know where Homelander's men were, what their faces looked like, or even whether they were ordinary people or superhumans. "Your question is too vague. I can only try, but I can't guarantee success—" Raven sighed, then used magic to explore the entire New Hope City, while Superman used his X-ray vision to try to find the group of lunatics who had accepted Homelander's orders.

As it turned out, Raven actually found the group of people in a short time. They emerged from the sewers in large numbers, dressed in neat black uniforms, as if they were afraid others wouldn't know they were a secret force. They were truly worthy of being Homelander's men.

Raven glanced at Clark and said, "Leave those guys to me."

Clark wanted to say something, but the raven had already disappeared.

Meanwhile, fully armed Butcher had arrived at the foot of the Vought Corporation building. He had already seen the fight between the two superpowered individuals in the sky, one of whom was Homelander, whom he hated the most. Although it was quite satisfying to see the other being beaten up, Butcher was not willing to gamble on whether the other superpowered individual would become the Nioh of New Hope City.

He only wanted to completely destroy this deformed city, which had in fact become a superpowered byt. Every time Butcher breathed, he could feel the stench emanating from the air!

How disgusting!

Butcher entered the Vought Corporation, where most of the security personnel were superhumans, but most of them had died in the previous Rune's purge. The remaining security personnel, along with ordinary people, were all frightened by the battle between the two guys in the sky and completely abandoned their mission to surround the building.

Upon seeing this, Butcher couldn't help but smile.

Yes, everyone saw Homelander catch a nuclear bomb, but in reality, there was more than one. Some of them were transported to a distant location and detonated by Homelander, while two others became Homelander's collectibles. One of these two treasures is missing, while the other is located underground in the Vought Tower.

If it weren't for the fact that he became a police officer and frequently interacted with other police officers and survivors from that time, Butcher would hardly have known about this.

That's right, Butcher intends to detonate a nuclear bomb directly. Rune said he would purge the scum among superpowered individuals? Sorry, Butcher won't believe a word of it.

He strolled casually into the building, went to the basement, and began searching each room one by one: the human lab, the rooms where "that kind of thing" was done, the armory—

However, the enormous basement and the vague, hearsay information left Butcher completely lost. Just as he was searching around, a trembling female voice came from behind him.

"What are you doing here?"

Butcher took a deep breath and turned around. Sure enough, the woman who had called out to him was Emily. What troubled him even more was that she was carrying a handgun.

"I don't want to do anything, child. You're the one who shouldn't be here." Butcher tried to turn around, but Emily stopped him.

"Put your weapon down first!" she said.

Emily couldn't believe that this man, who, despite his prejudice against superpowered individuals, was always so serious about solving cases, had actually killed the sheriff! When she saw Butcher's image in the sheriff's memories, grief, anger, and confusion flooded her mind in an instant. Moreover, Butcher had taken the keys to the armory, and almost all the weapons inside had been looted.

This is a police station after Judgment Day. To ensure public order, the police station's armory even contains a large number of heavy weapons. What exactly does he want to do?

Unable to believe it, Emily wanted to find him and confront him. She followed Butcher's trail to the Water Tower and finally caught him.

Butcher threw down his rifle. "I've dropped my weapon. Can I turn around now?"

"Turn around slowly!" Emily called out, her eyes fixed intently on Butcher. Butcher then slowly turned around, a smile on his face.

He's not stupid. If Emily knows what he did, it means the sheriff is dead.
