Black Robe: How can Saiki Kusuo not be considered a superpowered individual?

"Starlight?"

"It's starlight!"

"Starlight! We need to know the truth!"

These superhumans waved protest signs and shouted at the starlight.

Starlight looked at the superhumans before him, took a deep breath, and said:

"The truth? The truth is, everything the CIA and FBSA are saying online is absolutely true!"

"We're all monsters pulled out of a laboratory!"

Are you satisfied now?

"Instead of watching the FBSA chief's live stream, he came to the church door demanding answers."

"I think you guys are just plain masochistic."

As Starlight finished speaking, both the superhumans and the media fell silent.

Of course, the flashes didn't stop.

A few minutes later, these superhumans left.

And then there are the media outlets that have reaped a great harvest.

Starlight's cell phone rang.

Madeline's shrill scream came from the other end of the phone.

Starlight took a deep breath and spoke into the phone:

"Ms. Madeline, please speak with Director Rolner if you have anything to say."

"I'm very tired right now, I just want to rest."

"Beep—"

After hanging up the phone, Starlight glanced at the church behind her before flying away.

Cabin in the woods.

Becca was sitting in front of the TV, comfortably watching her melodramatic soap opera.

The next moment, the screen changed, and an urgent news report was interrupted.

The news footage showed Congresswoman and FBSA Commissioner Victoria Newman criticizing Waters Corporation.

The text below provides information about the Vote V compound.

Becca paused for a moment, her hand holding the potato chips froze, and then she continued to stuff them into her mouth.

"Cheer, chew, chew, it's finally been exposed, chew, chew, chew, it should be Butcher's, right? Cheer, chew, chew."

Becca watched Newman's harsh criticism of Walter on the screen and nodded in satisfaction.

"That's right, let's go and hurl insults at Walter like that!"

Qi Mu and Nanzi peeked out from inside the bedroom, their phones buzzing with news.

All of these are news reports following the exposure of compound V.

This has gotten quite a big deal.

Nanzi rubbed her eyes and spoke to Qi Mu telepathically.

[They used to say that superpowers were a gift from God.]

Qi Mu then told Nanzi about what he had seen and heard back then.

[That makes sense then. Walter's going to be really busy now.]

As Nanzi thought this, her expression changed the next moment.

[Wait, if Wot gets busy now, what about the air support?]

"Qi Mu, Nanzi, you two are out."

"There's coffee jelly in the fridge, help yourself if you want some."

[Let's have some coffee jelly first.]

Qi Mu and Nanzi exchanged a glance and spoke at the same time.

After finishing the coffee jelly, Qi Mu and Nanzi returned to their bedroom.

Buzz——————

Qi Mu dialed the phone number of his homeland.

"Feed? Qi Mu?"

The call was answered.

"John, how's the situation on your end?"

Qi Mu asked the people of his homeland with concern.

"Me? Oh, you mean that news article online?"

Homelander paused for a moment, then realized what was happening and answered Qi Mu.

"Don't worry, I won't cause any problems."

"I am the strongest superhuman in the world."

"The people of the motherland said confidently."

"Besides, it's only Stan who'll be in trouble."

Qi Mu blinked, recalling the content of yesterday's video conference.

"Okay, if you encounter any problems, remember to call me. Don't try to be a hero all by yourself."

"I will."

the Philippines.

Inside the underground caves of the People's Liberation Army.

Kousuke sat somewhat bored on his hand-rubbed recliner, watching the news being broadcast online via holographic projection.

"Compound V?"

He shook the conical flask in his hand, which contained a mysterious blue liquid.

"Is it really necessary to react so strongly to something like this?"

"As expected, the primal instincts are hard to shake off."

He casually tossed the bottle of compound V into the waste liquid tank.

Behind him, a figure completely encased in a mechanical skeleton and wearing a black battle suit stood silently.

"Super Ape One, get me a cup of coffee."

Kousuke shouted to Super Ape No. 1 behind him.

The latter nodded and quickly disappeared from the spot.

Super Ape One:

It was created by the superhuman, Black, who was captured by General Arturo and others.

While retaining its original capabilities, it has added features such as high-speed movement, exoskeleton armament, and AI information prediction.

The original owner's consciousness remains, but it is suppressed by the AI.

Da da da.

The entire cave fell silent.

The PLA guards, who were scrolling through their phones in the distance, would occasionally steal a glance at Kongsuke lying on the recliner.

As the Air Assistance's technology advanced further, the guards who were originally used to detain the Air Assistance became increasingly useless.

Although they were fully armed, however...

Is it too much to give them the chance to fight a monster modified from the Seven Superheroes, capable of tearing apart a cat tank with its bare hands?

"Wow, look, compound V has been exposed over there!"

"It should have been exposed long ago. Wasn't it us who leaked this damn thing?"

"I don't know, the general didn't say either, it seems to be the CIA."

"The CIA? Now they know to come out and cause trouble for Walter? Hypocritical bastards."

With virtually no time lag, the exposure of Compound V caused a sensation not only in the United States but throughout the entire world.

Even in the Philippines, the internet is now full of posts about superhumans and Compound V.

"Hey, you monkeys over there, you're being a bit noisy."

Sosuke raised his head in dissatisfaction and rebuked the guards hiding in the distance.

"Oh, I'm sorry."

The guards immediately stood up, bowed deeply to the airman, and then turned and walked away.

"Dr. Sosuke is so scary."

With satisfaction, Kousuke withdrew his gaze, his hand sliding across the holographic projection as he checked the grand gift he had prepared for Nanko and Saiki.

"Hmm... The Super Ape Squad has seven members. Let's not bring the Arturo Ape and the other monkeys. They won't be able to affect Qimu anyway."

"Or should we brainwash them?"

Kousuke's fingers tapped incessantly on the recliner, and before anyone knew it, Super Ape One had returned with a cup of coffee.

"Why did it take you so long?"

"Oh, you went all the way to America to buy it."

"Tsk, it seems that the intelligence of AI still needs to be improved."

Sosuke commented in this way.
