I'm doing bidirectional science popularization in American comics

So what if you lost a pair of eyes?

I lost two floorboards worth fifty dollars each!

"Shut your mouth, or I'll kill you!" Depp said viciously, "Kill you alive!"

Upon hearing this, the Homelander clone immediately shut its mouth and stopped crying.

Seeing that the other party had quieted down, Depp immediately asked, "Tell me, how did you create that black mist to get here?"

Upon hearing this, the Homelander clone pursed its lips and remained silent, its face showing a look of determination to fight to the death.

Seeing this, Depp raised his voice and said only one word.

"Ok?"

Although it was just one word, the murderous aura Depp exuded terrified the Homelander clone.

To be honest, Depp really doesn't care about this Homelander clone. If it doesn't cooperate, he really would just kill it.

At worst, we can just go back to Gotham and catch another one.

The Homelander clone reluctantly said, "That black mist wasn't created by us, or rather... not entirely."

"What does it mean?"

"That black mist was discovered by our company, Nickelodeon, by accident." The Homelander clone, who had gradually adapted to the pain in his eyes, recalled, "It is said that one day, Ms. Duke, the chief researcher of Nickelodeon, discovered this thing after a failed experiment."

Upon hearing this, Depp asked in confusion, "You mean... this black mist is a product of a failed experiment?"

"Yes, you could say that. At first, no one could figure out the composition of that black mist, until one day a little bird flew out of nowhere from it."

As Homelander clones were mentioned, their expressions gradually became excited.

"After that, the company immediately increased its financial support for the research on black fog."

"Soon, they discovered that the black mist seemed to connect to other worlds, and once the company had created enough black mist, they began this mission to explore another world."

"Wait a minute!" Depp interrupted. "You mean... that so-called Nickelodeon sent out so many Homelander clones just to casually explore the unknown world?"

The Homelander clone nodded and said, "Yes, we are the chosen warriors, and we will be the first to step into the new world. And the company promises that once we are here, we can do whatever we want, even if it means completely destroying this world."

“And what about Vought?” Depp asked.

The Homelander clone chuckled dismissively, then declared fanatically, "Vought International? That's history. Now, in our world, there's only one company, one organization, one country—Nick!"

Depp fell silent upon hearing this.

This so-called Nick Corporation seems even more insane and evil than the Vought Corporation.

When these guys discovered a passage that might connect to another world, they didn't think about communicating with it. Instead, they chose to send these Homelanders to completely destroy the world.

What a bunch of lunatics!

Depp was internally complaining when something suddenly occurred to him.

"Wait, you mean your world has achieved global unification?"

Upon hearing Depp's words, the Homelander clone said with considerable pride, "Of course, isn't it only natural that the company owns us?"

Then, as if he had thought of something, he began to grit his teeth.

"Oh right, and the Church of Light!"

"Those damned guys call themselves the light, but they hide underground like insects!"

"If the company weren't so lazy about dealing with them, we would have dug up those cultists from the ground long ago and killed them all!"

"And that woman who glows! I've wanted countless times to drag her out of the ground, and then, along with No. 1786 and No. 9735, tie her to the bed and play with her for a whole year!"

"Hmph, I'd like to see if her eyes really light up when those guys swing their bats at her."

Depp was a little angry at the guy's crazy and arrogant behavior.

Your ideas are so lewd and violent, they even excite me a little, but...

You're a prisoner of war right now, what are you pretending for?

With a loud thud, Depp knocked the guy unconscious again with a punch.

However, judging from the information just now, the Church of Light seems to be an organization founded by those who worship and admire the starlight after I left.

As for the glowing woman mentioned by the Homelander clone, without a doubt, she is Starlight!

In other words, the world of The Boys has completely changed.

The company called Nick completely replaced the Water Company.

And it became even more powerful and evil, even taking the entire world under its control.

But how long has it been since I left the world of The Boys?

a year?

Two years?

Depp couldn't imagine why the world of The Boys had changed so drastically in such a short time.

Could it be because of me?

He was like the butterfly flapping its wings in the Amazon rainforest, causing unimaginable changes to the world of The Boys.

hateful...

Looking at Homelander in front of him, Depp couldn't help but think that if this crisis were over, he might be able to take some time to visit the other side.

After all, this terrible outcome might be of their own making. As long as it doesn't threaten their own interests, it doesn't seem like there's anything wrong with taking a look at or helping Xingguang.

As for now, let's get through this difficult time first.

Depp slapped the Homelander clone awake again and asked, "Tell me, what are your weaknesses?"

"Weaknesses?" The Homelander clone laughed upon hearing this, saying, "We are perfect, invincible, how could we possibly have weaknesses?"

Snapped!

After delivering a powerful punch, Depp raised his hand again and said with a hint of helplessness, "I'll give you one more chance to face reality."

The Homelander clone then realized that the fact that he could be so easily subdued by the man in front of him seemed to prove that his arrogant statement earlier was a joke.

But after thinking it over, he finally said, "I...I don't know either."

Depp thought for a moment, then took out a scale he had plucked from Wellen's body and slashed it across the Homelander clone's wrist.

Chapter 223 The Mad Idiots

As the scales grazed, a shallow wound appeared on the wrist of the Homelander clone.

The homeland clone also shed its bright red blood.

But the wound healed on its own very quickly.

It must be said that the Homelander clone's self-healing ability is quite remarkable.

After the first wound had completely healed, Depp took out a brand new scale and then, with the same force and angle, made another cut on the same spot on the Homelander clone's wrist.

The Homelander clone sensed the second cut and asked in confusion, "Didn't I already get one cut? Why are you doing it again?!"

Depp smiled slightly upon hearing this: "Sit still and don't move, or I'll kill you!"

Soon, the second cut was made, and Homelander bled again.

After the scales had healed, Depp removed another one.

The third cut, the fourth cut, the fifth cut.

To be honest, the damage these scales caused to the Homelander clones was negligible.

However, Depp's bizarre behavior still sent chills down the spine of the Homelander clone.

This person...does he have some kind of weird quirk?

After all, these slashes, though not causing much harm, raise questions about what the guy pinned here might do next.

However, after the seventh cut, Depp threw the scale in his hand to the ground.

With a hint of pity and mockery in his eyes, he said to the Homelander clones, "You really are a bunch of pathetic worms."

Pathetic creature?

The Homelander clone was somewhat puzzled.

I am none other than the mighty Motherlander No. 3377!

There are no more than 10,057 superpowered individuals like me in the original world. How could I possibly be a pathetic wretch?

"Have you run out of ideas?" The Homelander clone grinned crookedly. "Are you going to use such a boring little trick as psychological warfare to break through my final psychological defenses?"

Upon hearing this, Depp looked at the guy as if he were an idiot and said, "Looks like you're not just a pathetic wretch, but a pathetic wretch who's been kept in the dark and is completely clueless."

"What are you talking about?" the Homelander clone couldn't help but ask.

Depp casually grabbed a chair and sat down, saying, "Tsk tsk tsk, if all your clone brothers are the same, then you probably don't even realize that you're just pawns of Nickelodeon, the kind that are used and discarded."

Disposable after use?

piece?

The Homelander clone was a little confused. Was this man joking?

"We are the incomparably powerful Homelander clone army. No one is stronger than us. If we wanted to, we could even replace the top executives of Nickelodeon immediately!"

Depp sneered, "Keep dreaming! Haven't you realized that your lives will soon come to an end?"

As he spoke, Depp pressed on the Homelander clone's wrist and said, "Didn't you notice that each cut I made just now healed a little slower than the last one?"

Upon hearing this, the Homelander clone was visibly taken aback, but immediately understood the meaning behind Depp's words.

Logically speaking, given my Chinese heritage, I should hardly age after reaching middle age.

And because of its astonishing self-healing speed, it should be able to achieve immortality and agelessness.

But now, Depp says that his healing process is slowing down each time.

Even for an ordinary person, the speed of wound healing should not vary significantly even when external factors remain completely unchanged.

In other words, if you heal slower each time than the last time, there is only one possibility.
