I'm doing bidirectional science popularization in American comics

If Hulk wanted to, his launch speed could even allow him to defy gravity and burst directly out of the atmosphere.

In the sky, the Homelander clone, which was floating in place, was surveying its surroundings in search of its target.

Suddenly, a dark shadow rushed out from below in front of him. Before the Homelander clone could react, he found himself being embraced by something.

And I... have no way to break free.

Then, the world spun around.

With a loud crash, the crater in the ground grew even larger, instantly reducing dozens of surrounding houses to dust.

Hulk stood up, looked at the Homelander clone lying on the ground questioning his existence, and sighed helplessly.

"Why are these guys getting weaker and weaker? They were pretty strong at the beginning!"

Upon hearing this, the Homelander clone lying on the ground immediately became enraged and tried to get up to retaliate.

"Shut up! You green-skinned gorilla... Ugh!"

Hulk's large hand grabbed the Homelander clone's head and slammed it down, slamming the clone's head back into the ground.

He then grabbed the Homelander clone by the neck with his other hand and pulled gently.

With a soft "plop," the Hulk ripped the Homelander clone's head, along with its spine, from its body.

If anyone witnessed this bloody scene, they would definitely scream in terror.

And just like that, the world became quiet again.

The Homelander clone is clearly dead beyond any doubt.

"How...boring!"

Hulk looked up again to find his target, only to discover that the Homelander clones in the sky seemed to be in disarray.

Because these guys all discovered that the black mist that sent them there was slowly disappearing!

At this point, the Homelander clones all lost their will to fight.

After all, the guys here are incredibly strong. More than two-thirds of their companions have already been killed, and if the black mist disappears, they won't be able to return to their original world.

That won't do!

Upon seeing this, No. 7788 immediately led his team to fly at full speed toward the remaining black mist.

"Those damned bastards from Nickelodeon actually tried to abandon them here!" Number 7788 roared furiously, increasing his speed once again: "When I get back, I'll tear those guys to pieces!"

At this very moment, sonic boom clouds immediately appeared around 7788, which was flying at full speed.

This means that his speed has long exceeded the speed of sound.

The distance between No. 7788 and the black mist was rapidly decreasing, and he was also calculating the distance between himself and the black mist in his mind.

"Eight kilometers...five kilometers...three kilometers..."

Seeing that he was about to rush into the black mist, No. 7788 increased his speed again. In fact, his body began to turn red and bleed because of the forced increase in speed.

Crimson beads of blood seeped from his pores, clearly indicating that he was enduring unbearable pain.

"One kilometer...five hundred meters...three hundred meters...one hundred meters..."

"Fifty meters...done!"

A smile appeared on Number 7788's lips, because one of his arms had already reached into the black mist.

This arm can already feel the warmth of home, a feeling completely different from Gotham...

"Ok?"

The moment his head plunged into the black mist, Number 7788 seemed to see something flash past him.

"Never mind, these are all important!"

His mind had pierced through the black fog, seeing the bewildered Nickelodeon researchers and the panicked, fearful faces of Nickelodeon executives outside the isolation glass.

"You...will pay the price for this!"

Heat rays condensed in Number 7788's eye; he wanted to melt everything here!

Before the heat rays could even be fired, and before the Nickelodeon crew could react and escape, 7788, which had just emerged halfway out of the black mist, was pulled back to the other side of the mist like a groundhog retreating into its burrow.

At the same time, the black fog completely dissipated, and the guys from Nickelodeon immediately collapsed to the ground, drenched in cold sweat.

On the Gotham side, Number 7788 looked back in confusion.

He found himself suspended in mid-air, with a green monster behind him.

The monster's enormous hand held him in its palm, leaving Number 7788 speechless for a moment.

"What the hell are you?!" Number 7788 roared, "Let...me...go...home!"

Feeling himself and the green monster begin to free fall, Number 7788 no longer hesitated and directly used a heat ray to attack the guy holding him.

But his heat rays were like a child's water gun to Hulk, causing only a slight burning sensation and having no other effect.

Hulk gave number 7788 a loving slap across the face, nearly popping his eyeball out.

With a thud, Hulk crashed down on another group of houses.

Hulk, grabbing Number 7788's arm, began to swing wildly, relentlessly slamming his fists against the ground of Gotham City, all the while muttering:

"Hulk is not a monster, Hulk is Hulk!"

Boom boom boom!

Boom boom boom!

Finally, 7788, who was completely dazed from being smashed, was slammed into the ground by Hulk, staring blankly at the black mist that had completely dissipated in the sky.

"Rubbish!"

Hulk said something, then strode away to find his next target.

But now, where in the sky are there any Homelander clones that dare to fly near Hulk?

Do you want to die? Then go play with this green monster!

I still want to live!

"What the hell is this place?"

Number 7788 lay motionless on the ground, feeling somewhat helpless.

After all, he had never seen so many guys who could easily kill Homelander clones before.

In their own world, these Homelander clones are the world's strongest fighting force, and have never encountered an opponent.

Even the woman whose eyes could glow could only manage a draw against the lowest-ranking clone.

But now...

This completely overturned my understanding.

When No. 7788 was questioning his existence, a magnetic and alluring voice rang in his ear.

"If I remember correctly, Depp said this is his hometown, Gotham City."

No sooner had the words left his mouth than a thud was heard, and a dagger pierced the heart of number 7788.

Immediately afterwards, a series of soft, popping sounds rang out.

Loki, the master of finishing blows, used his enchanted dagger to pounce on number 7788, taking away the guy's already meaningless life.

As the black fog dissipated and Lucius's developed virus took effect, the Homelander clones' fighting spirit and combat effectiveness rapidly declined.

Soon, these guys were almost completely wiped out.

The remaining small number also fled and disappeared into the horizon.

According to Depp's estimate, these guys have at most ten days left to live.

After the battle in Gotham City, these guys probably won't dare to show their faces or act recklessly again.

Depp stood in the sky and looked at the progress of the "Defend Gotham" mission on the system task panel.

[Defend Gotham and repel the first invasion of the world by The Boys.]

If Gotham City's damage rate is less than 50%, the defense is considered successful, and a random defense reward will be given upon successful defense.

[Current number of Homelander clones in Gotham City: zero]

[Gotham City's current damage rate: 40%.]

Depp nodded in satisfaction.

"Hmm, not bad. It's not quite fifty percent. It seems I've completed this guard mission."

But before Depp could even be happy for two seconds, he frowned, because he discovered that the loss rate had changed!

Depp stood in the sky and looked at the progress of the "Defend Gotham" mission on the system task panel.

[Defend Gotham and repel the first invasion of the world by The Boys.]

If Gotham City's damage rate is less than 50%, the defense is considered successful, and a random defense reward will be given upon successful defense.

[Current damage rate in Gotham City: 40.7%]

Before Depp could even process what was happening, the damage rate jumped again.

[Current damage rate in Gotham City: 40.8 percent.]

[Current damage rate in Gotham City: 40.9%]

[Gotham City's current damage rate: 41%.]

To be honest, Gotham City is being destroyed faster than when the Homelander clone was around, which has completely stunned Depp.

I grass!

What the hell is going on?

Depp rubbed his eyes and checked the number of Homelander clones again.

[Current number of Homelander clones in Gotham City: zero]

What the hell is going on?

Is there a system bug?
