I'm doing bidirectional science popularization in American comics

Around him, he seemed to see countless former teammates and ordinary people surrounding him.

They kept cursing and despising themselves, as if at this moment they had become someone abandoned by everyone.

"No! No! No!" Tears welled up in Homelander's eyes as he pleaded, "You can't do this to me! I am Homelander! I am the hero who protects this country, the only hero of this country!"

But the homelander's pleas for mercy were of no use. He found that his weakness only aroused the ridicule of those around him, who seemed to be laughing at him for being a pathetic wretch.

The other members of the group of seven around Homelander were also completely bewildered by his current state.

Aside from Depp, nobody knows what Homelander and Edgar just talked about, or why they suddenly went crazy.

Starlight glanced at Depp with a questioning look in her eyes.

Depp walked over to Starlight and whispered in her ear, "You can prepare to use that now, but be careful to keep up with your limits. If you find that your body is about to give out, stop the energy supply immediately."

Starlight nodded, her face slightly flushed, and said, "I understand."

After Depp walked away, Starlight's breathing gradually calmed down.

He's so handsome, and he was so close to me just now!

As the group closed in on Homelander, closing in little by little, he finally couldn't take it anymore.

Because in his eyes, his son Ryan was being nailed to a cross.

"You, you are blaspheming me, blaspheming God!" Homelander roared furiously, his eyes blazing with heat, "You damned insects, how dare you do such a thing to the Son of God! Prepare to be punished by God!"

After saying that, Homelander unleashed the heat ray at full power, and he shook his head at an extremely fast speed to make the heat ray attack a wide area.

The powerful heat rays instantly penetrated the Water Tower, vaporizing countless employees directly. The section of the Water Tower above the 82nd floor also teetered on the brink of collapse.

Maeve, wanting to stop Homelander's madness, lunged at him.

She wanted to repeat her old trick, using her own body and wrist guards to block the Homelander's heat rays.

But this time was different from before. Under Homelander's full-power heat beam, even Maeve's equipment and body could not withstand it for long.

As Maeve watched her specially made wristband melt rapidly under the heat rays, she cursed under her breath, knowing that she would most likely lose her arm.

At the critical moment, Depp stepped in.

He ran to Maeve's side and used his arm to shield her from Homelander's heat rays.

Perhaps because Depp wasn't in a particularly high mood, the heat rays that Homelander unleashed at full power actually burned Depp's arm.

However, the heat rays of the motherland can only reach this level.

Depp turned to the bootleg Wonder Woman behind him and said, "Maeve, you, Starlight, and A-Train go and help evacuate the ordinary people in the building. I'll handle this guy."

Upon hearing this, Maeve looked at Depp with a complicated expression, then said reluctantly, "Okay, please hang in there. We'll come help you after we've evacuated everyone from the building!"

“I think you should pray that Homelander can last a little longer.” Depp smiled and looked at Homelander, mockingly saying, “Is that all you’re capable of? No wonder you only lasted five seconds under Madeline’s ass.”

Upon hearing this, the man from the motherland's eyes bulged with veins, he gritted his teeth, and increased the power of the heat rays once again.

"You will pay for this, you ant!"

Seeing that the heat rays had little effect on Depp, Homelander made a decisive move this time, ceasing his heat ray attack on Depp and instead using his speed and strength advantage to close the distance.

It has to be said that Homelander's current speed is simply beyond Depp's reach.

Homelander launched a flying kick, sending Depp flying from the 82nd floor all the way to the top floor of the Vought Tower.

Then Homelander flew into the sky and came to Depp's side.

"So what if you've hit me a few times?" Homelander grinned maliciously, and with another punch, sent Depp flying sideways.

Depp, who was knocked away again, was somewhat helpless, realizing that he couldn't keep up with Homelander's speed.

Although the attacks from Homelander didn't cause him much harm, it still made Depp feel somewhat aggrieved.

Homelander, in mid-air, bounced Depp back and forth like a ball, a scene broadcast live worldwide by helicopters from more than a dozen surrounding television stations.

After Vought International stopped doing public relations for Homelander and instead started pushing for the release of negative information about him, almost everyone knew what kind of villain Homelander really was.

At the same time, Vought International also started pushing promotional materials and videos of the new hero Depp from the Seven Heroes to the top of trending searches.

It was also explained that during the battle a few days prior, it was actually Depp who was stopping Homelander from destroying the city.

At this moment, in the eyes of the general public, Depp, who is being manipulated by Homelander, is the real hero of justice.

Seeing Depp being brutally beaten by Homelander, they all prayed for Depp, and some children even cried in front of the TV.

To be honest, Depp didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

The attacks from the Homelanders can't cause me much harm right now.

If this continues for another three days, Depp could even endure the beating until the deadline in the Black Robe world expires, and then immediately travel to the Marvel universe to help Tony and the others.

Of course, Homelander also noticed the problem; his attacks seemed to have no effect whatsoever, just like before.

So he decided to play dirty, aiming his next attack at Depp's eyes.

After all, the eyes are the most vulnerable part of a human being, so it's natural for the Homelanders to want to attack them.

However, Depp was no longer prepared to remain passive.

Although his current speed is not at a superhuman level, he had a plan beforehand that might make up for this deficiency.

Now, Depp decides to test his idea; if successful, he can change his current passive situation.

Before Homelander's attack arrived, Depp's eyes rolled back, and the once azure sky was suddenly covered with dark clouds.

The next moment, countless bolts of lightning and thunderbolts descended with terrifying force.

But the target wasn't Homelander, but Depp himself.

When Homelander saw that the anger Depp had unleashed had actually struck him, he burst out laughing.

"You idiot, aren't you?!"

Homelander charged toward Depp at supersonic speed, his fingers like eagle claws reaching for Depp's eyes.

"Prepare to go blind, you idiot!"

Just as Homelander's hands were about to touch Depp's retina, a pair of strong hands gripped his arms tightly.

"You're such a treacherous pervert."

As Depp spoke, a blue light shone in his eyes.

The next second, white heat rays with blue lightning flashed from Depp's eyes!

The white heat rays shot directly into Homelander's face, catching him completely off guard.

Homelander tried desperately to get away, but Depp's grip on his wrist was so strong that he couldn't even break free.

Depp glanced at the knighthood badge on his chest and said, "I'm sorry, my current strength is 150 percent of yours."

"Oh, right, the same goes for the power of heat rays."

After saying that, Depp immediately increased the power of the heat rays.

The 50% increase allowed Depp's heat rays to easily break through Homelander's defenses. Even though Homelander turned his head away, the heat rays still vaporized his ear.

"How could you possibly have the same abilities as me? How could you suddenly become so much faster?"

Faced with Homelander's bewildered questions, Depp uttered a string of words that the former couldn't understand at all: "Just now, I completed my mission. Although I didn't get the reward I wanted most, I'll make do with what I have for now."

Homelander was now fully conscious and free from the hallucinogenic effects of the fear gas, but for the first time, he felt fear because of a person.

Since birth, no one has ever been able to surpass me in personal ability.

But the man in front of me did it!

Homelander now felt an unprecedented fear. He was terrified and desperately wanted to escape, but he couldn't break free from Depp's grasp.

“It’s lightning. I used lightning to speed up the transmission of nerve signals in my body, which increased my own speed.” Depp slowly moved the heat beam toward Homelander’s head and said, “Although it’s still far from being as fast as you, it’s enough for me to catch your arrogance once.”

"Oh, by the way, let me introduce you to someone right now. His name is Clark Kent, nicknamed Superman. All your abilities are knock-offs and weaker versions of Clark's abilities. Unlike your fake alien propaganda, he's a real alien, a Kryptonian."

After saying that, Depp saw that the entry for this particular science popularization had already been recorded in the Mirror of Introduction notebook, so he gave Homelander no time to breathe. His eyes flashed with a white heat beam, which was like lightning, and he aimed it directly at Homelander's head and fired it at full power.

Moments later, Homelander's head was pierced by Depp's heat rays, leaving two large holes.

Just as Depp was about to continue vaporizing Homelander's entire head, two crimson heat rays, identical to Homelander's, suddenly shot from beneath him.

The target of these two heat rays was still not Depp, but Homelander, who had already lost consciousness.

The subsequent red heat rays, like a high-temperature chainsaw, severed the Homelander's wrist.

Then a short figure flew to Depp like a phantom, picked up Homelander, and flew into the distance.

This little thing is even faster than Homelander; Depp can't catch up at all.

Depp watched the father and son disappear rapidly into the horizon and cursed, "Ryan...you little bastard!"

Chapter 138 About Hitting Grandma [6000-word long chapter!]

After the situation in the air battle reversed that day, the people immediately cheered with joy.

Even after Homelander was rescued by Ryan, they still cheered.

Because Depp defeated Homelander, they have a new guardian angel.

The dark clouds dispersed, and the sky returned to its azure color.

Depp looked at Homelander's two severed hands in his hands and sighed helplessly.

Ryan probably saw his own father being brutally killed by him on TV, and in his emotional state, he completely awakened his superpowers.

It has to be said that this little bastard is even stronger than Homelander, and what's most terrifying is that he's still young and has a lot of room for improvement.

Depp, in the sky, thought that since he couldn't catch up with Ryan's speed anyway, and the mission was accomplished, he might as well leave and enjoy the remaining two days of his trip.

Inside the safe house, as Butcher saw Homelander being subdued by Depp, his smile deepened; he hadn't smiled so happily in all these years.

But when Homelander was rescued by a small figure, Butcher looked on in disbelief.

An enraged Butcher slammed the bag of potato chips he had just opened onto the coffee table.

"Damn it, which son of a bitch rescued Homelander?"

As Butcher cursed, he saw Depp burst through the door and throw Homelander's two severed hands at him.

“It was your wife’s little bastard who saved Homelander,” Depp said. “Oh, right, now you’re raising him.”
