From beginning to end, Kevin never knew how strong he truly was.
Because from beginning to end, Kevin had never truly fought anyone seriously.
In the The Boys world, Kevin had always used rule-based methods to curb Homelander and anyone else who threatened him.
No one would actually use Supe abilities against him.
Even during The Woods' suppression of the rebellion, Kevin never truly used his full power.
Even with A-Train, Kevin 'exhausted him to death' without the other party ever making physical contact.
This approach couldn't be called despicable; as long as it could defeat the enemy, then no matter the method, it was a good method.
But because of this, Kevin couldn't precisely determine the extent of his power.
How strong had he become? How many times stronger than The Deep was he before?
Was he truly on par with Homelander? If he really fought Homelander, could he truly win?
Kevin, who had never seriously fought before, would always have similar thoughts.
Kevin also wanted to find a place to properly test his strength.
However, in the The Boys world, Kevin never had the opportunity to test himself.
Perhaps at The Woods organization, Kevin could test his abilities.
But Kevin had always been wary of Vought, so he didn't dare to truly expose his full power in front of them.
Until now.
Da da da da — —
Gunfire rang out incessantly, and Kevin stood still, protecting the battery, letting the machine gun bullets from the drones hit his body.
Clang, clang, clang.
Bullets struck Kevin's body, the warheads flattened and fell to the ground, the clinking sounds mixing with the machine gun fire, ringing out non-stop.
Yet Kevin's body remained unharmed.
When someone noticed this scene, there was a momentary silence in the prison.
Gamora, who was snatching the wristbands, looked at Kevin with a hint of surprise, then continued her 'work' after a moment.
Star-Lord, who had already gotten the prosthetic leg, took advantage of a guard's inattention and used a prosthetic leg attack to knock the guard to the ground, then turned to look at Kevin, who had become the center of attention.
Rocket Raccoon and Groot met up, and he rode on Groot, originally intending to 'support' Kevin.
But in the end, he was instead awestruck by Kevin's performance, muttering:
"My goodness, what kind of monster is this?"
Rocket had thought Kevin could only control water, which wasn't much in the universe.
Even sentient treemen like Groot existed, so what good was being able to control water?
People in the universe fought with their brains and high technology, and what Rocket had always prided himself on was his small brain.
A small brain smarter than anyone else.
But now, Rocket's opinion had changed a bit.
Da da da — —
Finally, the drone magazines were empty, and the drones that had first surrounded Kevin stopped firing.
Kevin stretched his limbs, looked at his smooth skin without even a red mark, and smiled even more happily.
"Rocket, catch this."
He casually threw the battery wrapped in a prison uniform to Rocket, then looked at the swarm of drones surrounding him.
"Are you done? It's my turn now."
As he spoke, Kevin stretched his limbs.
When his words fell, he didn't wait for the guards controlling the drones to react, his legs bent slightly, and he suddenly launched himself into the air.
The powerful jump allowed him to briefly hover in the air, then he aimed at his target, and with the posture of a fierce tiger landing, he precisely stepped on the top of a drone.
Crash—!
The drone targeted by Kevin was struck and fell to the ground with Kevin, its body colliding with the hard metal floor.
Parts scattered, sparks flew.
A seemingly sturdy drone was thus crushed by Kevin's single stomp.
But this was not the end.
After crushing one drone, Kevin immediately jumped again, this time moving at a faster speed and with greater force towards the next drone.
Grabbing one drone's body with his hand, and kicking another approaching drone to pieces with his other foot, Kevin instantly became like a berserk warrior, rampaging through the drone swarm!
Supe Physique brought Kevin far more than just super high defense and recovery capabilities.
Strength, speed, reaction ability, dynamic vision…
All attributes related to the body would be simultaneously enhanced as this skill improved.
Kevin had never tested these things before.
He had never jumped great distances on land, nor had he run fast on land.
Therefore, he did not have an accurate understanding of his own strength and speed.
Until now.
"Is this guy a Superman from Krypton?! He's so fierce!?"
Star-Lord, who had reunited with Rocket and the others, finally couldn't help but complain about Kevin.
Rocket was startled: "Krypton?! Is there really such a planet in the universe?!"
"I'm talking about comics…"
Star-Lord was speechless, not expecting Rocket to take his joke seriously.
But then again, Rocket had never been to Earth, so of course, he wouldn't know what comics Star-Lord was talking about.
But putting that aside, looking at Kevin, who was raging like a beast below, Star-Lord still couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
Having been a Ravager in the universe for so long, he had seen many strange and bizarre races.
If Kevin was like a rock-person race Star-Lord had seen, then his defense and strength being so fierce wouldn't be surprising.
But Kevin, on the other hand, was just like them.
Just like a normal Earth human.
A guy who looked like a human, yet he was actually enduring machine gun fire and rampaging through a swarm of drones, which was indeed very shocking.
However, despite their shock, everyone didn't forget what they had to do now.
"Quick! The guards are coming!"
Gamora reunited with the others, throwing the wristbands to Rocket, and shouted anxiously to everyone.
Now, suppressing this prison break were not only the protective drone swarm but also many guards with guns who had circled around.
Some of them tried to approach Kevin, but they were all smashed away by the drones Kevin threw, while the remaining ones tried to approach Gamora and the others, wanting to escort these criminals back to their cells.
If they stayed here, they would have to face fully armed guards, so it was no wonder Gamora was anxious.
But just as these guards were about to approach them, a man suddenly let out an excited roar and charged towards the guards:
"Hahahahaha! All of you get down!!"
The red-skinned man, Drax the Destroyer, crashed into the guard Team like a human tank.
With his immense strength, he threw the guards off the high platform one by one, like chicks.
And he brutally broke the guards' firearms, using those firearms as batons to smash the guards.
Drax's sudden entry into the battlefield made the already chaotic prison even more chaotic.
However, thanks to Drax's 'help,' Rocket and his group successfully approached the control panel.
"Hey!! Kevin!!! Get up here quickly!!"
As they were about to reach the control panel, Rocket, who was lying on Groot, loudly called out to Kevin, who was unleashing his fury below.
Kevin, who had just smashed two drones together like toys, slightly reined in his excitement and looked up at Rocket and his group.
"Okay, I'm coming."
After speaking, Kevin exerted a little force with his feet and leaped upwards.
His body seemed to lose gravity, instantly leaping over ten meters high, reaching the platform where Rocket and the others were.
Because of Kevin's previous performance, everyone was already accustomed to Kevin being able to jump here with a light leap; they didn't even express surprise, as they had more important things to do at the moment.
Kevin reunited with the others, and Drax also followed closely behind the small team after crashing into a group of guards.
With everyone assembled, Rocket then operated the elevator directly to the control panel, leading everyone inside the control panel.
After throwing out the guards inside the control panel, this control panel fell into Rocket's control.
Next, it was up to Rocket's operation.
When the situation temporarily stabilized, Drax and Gamora immediately erupted into conflict.
"Why are you here?!"
Gamora shouted at Drax.
Drax was not to be outdone: "Don't look at me with your evil eyes, I hate you!"
"…So why is this guy here!?"
Gamora pointed at Drax and asked Kevin.
Kevin shrugged: "Perhaps he thinks he can see Ronan by following you? Alright, he did help us after all, so be a little more lenient."
Drax disliked Gamora, and Gamora disliked Drax; they stared at each other for a long time, and finally, because of Kevin's words, they didn't start fighting.
Star-Lord gave the prosthetic leg to Rocket, and after learning that Rocket didn't need the prosthetic leg, the two argued again.
Kevin didn't speak, standing with Groot.
"I am Groot."
"I don't understand what you're saying."
"He's asking if you can conjure water out of thin air; he wants a drink."
Rocket, acting as Groot's translator, promptly translated Groot's words.
Kevin shrugged: "I can't conjure water out of thin air if there's no water."
"Then your ability is quite limited."
Gamora interjected from the side.
From this perspective, Kevin's ability was far inferior to Ebony Maw's.
Star-Lord disagreed:
"I said, didn't you see this tough guy's physical prowess? He was rampaging below, taking on at least thirty drones! I think even without the water-controlling ability, just with this Physique, he's already very formidable."
"That's just because you're a bumpkin with no experience."
Gamora expressed disdain for Star-Lord.
Unlike Star-Lord, she had seen all sorts of characters by Thanos's side.
Just take Kevin's actions just now; in Star-Lord's eyes, it might have been astonishing, but to Gamora, she could easily list a bunch of formidable characters who could perform such actions.
Not to mention her adoptive father Thanos and Accuser Ronan, the Black Order around Thanos, and certain special units of the Kree Empire, could achieve Kevin's level of physical prowess alone.
Only a bumpkin like Star-Lord would consider Kevin some kind of 'Superhuman.'
"Please, I'm not a bumpkin, alright… Wait, isn't something a little off?"
Star-Lord was about to continue bickering with Gamora, but he saw the Nova Corps gathering below through the control panel's window.
They were divided into five squads, holding rocket launchers capable of destroying a small spaceship, aiming their muzzles at their current location.
"Damn it, didn't Rocket Raccoon say he had a plan!?"
Gamora was startled at the sight and quickly asked Rocket.
Rocket's hands were busy, his slender fingers frantically tapping on the buttons of the control panel, yet he still didn't forget to turn around and argue with Gamora:
"I said I have a plan, don't you worry!!"
As he spoke, the speed of his hands increased by a few points.
Although he said not to worry, from his actions, he himself was not as calm as he claimed.
Seeing that the guards below were about to open fire, Kevin stretched his wrists, took two steps forward, and came to the window:
"Looks like it's my turn to make an appearance."
"You said you can't conjure water out of thin air? Then what can you do here? Go out and beat them up?"
Gamora asked with a frown.
"I really can't conjure water."
Kevin stood in front of everyone except Rocket, stretched out his hands to both sides, and smiled slightly:
"But, there's quite a lot of water in this prison… isn't there?"
As Kevin's words fell, a strange roar began to echo within the prison.
The roar brought vibrations, and amidst the vibrations, an seemingly endless supply of water surged from all directions, instantly engulfing all areas around the control panel!
The water current scattered the guard formations outside, engulfing everything outside the control panel like a tsunami.
In just a few seconds, what was once a dry area outside the control panel became a 'underwater world' filled with clear water!
