Black Robe: Gender Swap, I Have a Small Panel

Looking at the poster, Butcher fell into a daze.

Soldier Boy, during Butcher's upbringing, was hailed as the world's number one superhero.

His endorsements have spread from beverage bottle caps along the Mississippi River to every can of food sold in restaurants.

His deeds have long been touted by the world and become legends.

He was a role model of an era, and his existence was filtered through the lens of childhood aspirations. In Butcher's mind, the soldier boy's strength was absolutely unparalleled.

As the number one figure of the past era, perhaps he can help me kill Homelander and reclaim everything that belongs to me...

……

With this idea in mind, Butcher immediately went to the highest archives of ICA.

As the most powerful figure in the military, Butcher's status naturally rose accordingly, so getting into this place was no problem for him.

Among a vast collection of files that could shock the world, Butcher found the one about the soldier boy.

This file records how the boy soldier was tricked by Walter, the Soviet military, and his teammates, who then knocked him unconscious and imprisoned him by the Soviet military...

The mystery of the soldier boy's disappearance, which had troubled countless people for years, was now laid bare before Butcher's eyes.

"He really didn't die!"

The news that the soldier boy was alive greatly encouraged Butcher.

Meanwhile, the data in this file records that the other party possesses an extremely powerful "chest cannon".

This substance releases intense nuclear radiation, causing horrific damage; a single strike can destroy a building.

The power is not the most terrifying aspect of the opponent's ability. What is even more astonishing is that the opponent's chest cannon can eliminate the ability bonus brought by Compound V!

In other words, if hit head-on, even if someone is physically strong enough to survive a chest cannon blast, their abilities will be completely negated in a short period of time.

Soldier Boy is practically the natural enemy of all Compound V ability users.

Boucher watched the opponent's series of abilities with excitement, shouting in his heart, "Revenge is in sight! Revenge is in sight!"

As for the negative comments about the soldier boy—paranoia, marijuana addiction, violent tendencies, severe antisocial personality disorder…

None of this was within Butcher's considerations. Even if this man was a madman, he would use him to bring Homelander down from his pedestal.

At this moment, jealousy towards his fellow countrymen had transformed into a raging inferno, burning away Butcher's reason.

"Yes, destroy Homelander, bring him down from his pedestal, that's what we should do..."

Behind Butcher, countless tumor-like tentacles grew wildly.

From Boucher's perspective, his old comrade-in-arms appeared beside him and loudly agreed.

At the same time, the rationality in Butcher's eyes dimmed slightly...

……

The following day, Butcher, through ICA's intelligence network, located Nina, the leader of the Russian mafia, for a deal.

In exchange for helping her kill a gangster's enemy, she can gain permission to smuggle herself into Russia and enter the base where the soldier boy is being held.

For Butcher now, killing his enemy is a piece of cake. He easily used his tentacles to take the enemy's head and placed it in front of Nina's table.

"..."

"You're very efficient. Here's your access card..."

If Boucher could kill his long-time enemy so easily, then killing himself would be just as easy.

Nina, of course, dared not go back on her word and handed over the access card with both hands.

These days, even superpowered gangs have to follow the principle of big fish eat little fish and the strong rule.

Boucher took the access card from Nina, turned and disappeared back into the shadows.

Nina and her gang were left trembling in fear, feeling as if they were facing a completely different person than Boucher...

It is not a monster, but a monstrous beast that devours anyone it chooses!

……

The wind howled across the Siberian wilderness, and snowflakes lashed at our faces like shards of glass, leaving only a blinding, stark white expanse between heaven and earth.

Boucher arrived alone in front of several dilapidated concrete buildings, worn down by time.

Looking at the collapsed barbed wire wrapped in icicles, lying crookedly across the snow, rust and frost marks intertwined.

"It seems... the soldier boy isn't being taken very seriously here."

"That's good, it saves me a lot of trouble, and makes the infiltration much easier!"

Butcher took out the access card he had obtained from the gang, bypassed the sight of the patrolling soldiers, and swiped it to open one door after another in the base.

He walked down a half-collapsed staircase, where the chill suddenly intensified, and the air was filled with the smells of engine oil, rust, and stale disinfectant.

Deep inside the passage, a deformed metal door lay ajar, and a stark white emergency light flickered overhead, illuminating a secret laboratory that had been abandoned for many years.

In the very center of this laboratory stands a giant cylindrical cryogenic sealed chamber.

Among them was the very person Butcher was looking for—the soldier boy!

Inside the cabin, a chilly atmosphere prevailed.

The soldier boy floated motionless in the freezing liquid with his eyes closed, his face stern, and the lines of his muscles were faintly visible beneath the ice.

"That's him!"

Even though the Soldier Boys were no longer active during Butcher's childhood, the influence of that face still accompanied Butcher throughout her entire childhood.

Even through the cryogenic chamber, Butcher recognized the other person at a glance.

Butcher's eyes flashed with golden light, and his thermal vision sliced ​​through the door of the cryogenic chamber, slid it open, and pulled the soldier boy out.

"Slap, slap—"

"Hey, wake up, Sleeping Beauty, I'm here to save you!"

These two slaps jolted the soldier boy awake. His mind was a complete blank, and his face still stung.

What's going on...?

The soldier boy looked around at everything, and a painful memory flashed through his mind.

That was the inhuman treatment he received here as an experimental subject.

These experiences caused him to cover his head and begin to wail, while golden light began to gather on his chest.

however……

"Snap—"

"Hey, what are you howling about? Can you stop being so girly and come with me!"

The slap landed on the soldier boy's face, instantly silencing the wailing boy.

His spellcasting was interrupted.

? !

What's going on?

The soldier boy looked up and saw a man with a full beard, wearing a black robe, and a wicked smile standing next to him.

"you……"

"Stop talking nonsense, I'm here to rescue you, come with me now!"

Amid the bewildered expression of the soldier boy, Butcher lifted him up and, before the surrounding soldiers could hear the noise and rush over, transformed into a blur, quickly carrying him away into the icy, snowy landscape.

Within minutes, they were on a smuggling boat heading back to America...
