I'm doing bidirectional science popularization in American comics

Unbeknownst to Depp, his heat vision mutated when combined with lightning, and even after he stopped attacking, the lightning remaining inside his body continued to erode his cells.

This also slowed down Homelander's healing rate. To be honest, apart from Homelander and his son, any other superpowered person in the Boys world would have died on the spot.

Depp, who was enjoying the sea breeze, had to cut his vacation short and fly directly to Washington, D.C., the world of The Boys.

Starlight, Maeve, and Kimiko's actions greatly angered Edgar.

He pointed at the three women in the video and said to Storm behind him, "Storm, I need you to stop these three from their foolish behavior. The new compound makes you even stronger than before, and I believe you can do it."

As Storm looked at the three people in the video, she was suddenly reminded of some unpleasant memories.

But she still respectfully replied, "I will obey your will, my master."

Edgar stroked Storm's hair and said calmly, "Go."

As soon as he finished speaking, Storm was surrounded by lightning and flew out like a shooting star.

On the National Mall in Washington, D.C., Starlight and Maeve are stopping the lunatics who are attacking civilians.

A guy covered in rock-like keratin swung his watermelon-sized fist at a girl.

Seeing this, Maeve jumped directly in front of the stone man and clashed her fists head-on with his rocky fists.

With a loud bang, half of the stone man's body was smashed to pieces by Maeve's punch.

Although she doesn't possess demigod blood like Wonder Woman, Maeve's power is still terrifying. Her strength is second only to Homelander, making her a pure physical enhancement superhuman with few rivals in the Boys universe.

On the other side, Starlight also used light energy shockwaves to continuously output remote power and visual interference to the superpowered people around it.

Kimiko's fighting style was even more bloody; she ruthlessly tore off the heads of the Vought Corporation's superhumans one by one.

After several rounds, Kimiko was covered in blood, looking like a witch from hell, even more terrifying than those superpowered individuals who attacked civilians.

Almost everyone, whether superhuman or ordinary, avoids him.

Just as the three girls were locked in fierce combat, Storm fell straight down from the sky, accompanied by lightning.

The force of her fall even created a large crater in the center of the park, clearly indicating that she had not yet fully adapted to the sudden surge of power.

The situation in the middle of the park immediately attracted the attention of Hoshikawa, Kimiko, and the others.

When Storm Girl emerged from the smoke and rubble, the three immediately became alert.

Starlight asked in confusion, "Storm Girl? Shouldn't you be dead?"

Storm nodded, raising an eyebrow, and said, "Yes, I really... almost died."

Queen Maeve frowned and said, "Could it be that the Vought Corporation rescued you and cured you?"

Storm smiled and pointed at Maeve, saying, "As expected of you, Maeve, you're truly a smart woman. So... if you listen to the company now and stop immediately, I think I can forgive you and spare your lives."

Kimiko tilted her head, looking at Storm with a puzzled expression, then at Maeve and Starlight beside her, her meaning clear.

Maeve chuckled and stroked her chin, then said to Starlight, "Speaking of which, how about we beat this old woman up again?"

Starlight's eyes gleamed as she pressed the Arc Reactor that Depp had given her against her chest.

"I agree!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the three women rushed forward and charged towards Storm Girl, who was not far away.

"Three sons of bitches!"

Storm cursed and immediately flew into the sky.

Having learned her lesson before, even though she was much stronger than before, she still didn't want to fight these three crazy women hand-to-hand on the ground.

After all, he was different from them; he was a noble superhuman with the ability to fly.

All I need to do is use lightning from the sky to deal with those three bitches!

Storm Girl swung her hands repeatedly, and a series of lightning bolts swept over the heads of Starlight and his two companions.

For a time, the three women, who had no ability to fly, were overwhelmed by Storm's ranged attacks.

Maeve picked up a rock and threw it forcefully at Storm in mid-air, but it was shattered by the lightning summoned by the latter.

It has to be said that whoever controls the air has the upper hand in the battle, and that is absolutely true!

"Damn it, this thing stays in the sky the whole time, we can't do anything to her," Maeve said helplessly as she rolled to avoid the lightning strikes.

Starlight activated the low-power mode of the Ark Reactor, raised his hand and threw a luminous shockwave into the sky, but it dissipated before reaching Storm's height.

She tried to increase the reactor's output power little by little, and it was almost at the 5% safety limit that Depp had set for her, but the attack range of the shockwave was still far from being reached.

Kimiko nimbly dodged the attacks, then climbed to a high point, and with a sudden burst of power, lunged at the Storm Woman in the sky.

Then Storm struck with a lightning bolt, leaving Kimiko charred and blackened as she lay on the ground.

Just when the three girls were at their wits' end, Depp arrived late.

He was wearing armor and flying at full speed, breaking the sound barrier.

Depp, whose flight altitude was much higher than Storm's, immediately accelerated and dove downwards when he reached Storm's head.

Before Storm could react, Depp grabbed her head and slammed her down to the ground.

With a deafening roar, dozens of times louder than when Storm landed, the entire national park was filled with smoke and dust, and debris flew everywhere.

Starlight and Maeve immediately ran to the center of the explosion, only to find that Storm's entire head had been shoved into the ground by Depp, and a crater with a diameter of over two hundred meters had been created around them.

Storm pushed herself up with both hands and yanked her head out of the ground.

She glared angrily at Depp and said, "And who are you, you tin dog bastard?"

After saying that, she aimed her hands at Depp and unleashed a full-force lightning attack.

"Go to hell! You rotten-eyed scum!"

Maeve and Starlight gasped when they saw Depp and his armor completely enveloped by the lightning released by Storm.

"Mr. Depp, get out of the way!"

"Storm Girl, you bitch, let him go!"

But before they could even be surprised for a second, Depp waved to them amidst their worried gazes.

Then, Depp looked at the armor that had reached 400% energy, reached out and flicked Storm's head, to the latter's incredulous expression.

Depp swore that he used less than one-thousandth of his strength to flick his forehead!

However, Storm was knocked back to the ground by Depp's flick on the head, and this time most of her body was buried in the ground.

At this moment, Kimiko, whose face was covered in soot, stood up in a daze.

Depp looked at the three girls beside him and said with a smile, "Let's begin, girls. I think you guys are more professional when it comes to hitting grandma."

Upon hearing this, Starlight turned his head and walked towards Storm, who was struggling to pull herself out.

Maeve rubbed her wrist and said to Depp, "You're really funny."

Seeing her two friends rush over, Kimiko, whose face was as black as charcoal, also pounced over with a silly grin.

Chapter 139 Fly, Starlight!

Professional matters should be left to professionals.

For example, when it comes to beating up grandma, apart from Brother Sun, these three girls in front of us are probably the most professional.

Besides, even the slogan of the Water Company is "When a girl gets things done, nothing goes wrong."

So it's definitely a good idea to leave this to Maeve, Starlight, and Kimiko!

Especially considering that this was three against one, and it wasn't the first time they'd done this.

Although Storm's power has been enhanced, she is still struggling to cope with the three-on-one fight between Maeve, Starlight, and Kimiko on the ground.

Most importantly, Maeve's power remains formidable, and her starlight has been amplified.

Kimiko's terrifying regenerative abilities also led her to trade injuries for injuries without regard for the consequences.

The three surrounded Storm Girl, punching and kicking her as she looked somewhat bewildered.

Depp watched the show from the sidelines, and it has to be said that women fighting is much more exciting than men fighting.

As he watched as Storm's hair was pulled out in clumps, Depp even took out a small stool and an iced watermelon from his system space.

After being attacked for a long time, Storm finally couldn't take it anymore and decided to use her ability to fly to escape.

Although Edgar will be disappointed, it's better than being beaten to death.

With that in mind, Storm assumed a takeoff stance, ready to ascend into the sky.

Storm Girl flies differently from Homelander. Strictly speaking, she does not fly by relying on her own body, but by controlling the surrounding airflow and pressure to make herself airborne and fly at high speed.

This is basically the same principle as Depp's flight. In fact, Storm can be said to be a knock-off version of Storm Ororo from X-Men.

Therefore, the counterfeit version can never compare to the genuine version.

Depp, who possessed the original Ororo's abilities, slightly whitened his eyes as Storm prepared to take to the air, thus negating the pressure difference and airflow caused by her.

As a result, Storm stood there like an idiot, striking an incredibly embarrassing pose before she could even take flight, and then Maeve punched her in the face.

After that, whenever Storm tried to take off and escape, Depp would roll his eyes slightly, causing her to fail.

By the end, Storm was bleeding from the corner of her mouth and had bruises around her eyes.

Even their hair was plucked so much by the three women who were so excited about the beating that patches of baldness appeared.

When Maeve, Starlight, and the others stopped fighting, Storm was already out of her mind.

She swayed unsteadily in place as if she were drunk, occasionally striking a take-off pose.

Military soldiers and agents had already arrived around them and had subdued or killed most of the superhumans on the spot.

When the soldiers saw Depp in the center of the National Mall in Washington, they immediately stood up straight and gave Depp a standard military salute.

In their eyes, Depp is the world's strongest hero, replacing Homelander.

Edgar arrived just as Maeve was using the dying Storm as a stool, sitting on it.

Seeing Storm's miserable state, Edgar immediately demanded, "What happened? Why did you attack Storm, Depp? I need an explanation!"

Depp said, "Would you believe me if I told you that all of this was orchestrated by a man named Sun Xiaochuan?"

“Sun Xiaochuan? That sounds like a Chinese or Korean, or maybe a Japanese.”
