It's time to end it!
The Mind Network, stretching across half the Atlantic, firmly pinpointed Homelander's location. Jordan was close behind.
A huge, elongated cavitation bubble was created by stepping on the spot. The person had already turned into a black shadow and chased after it.
"Maeve, what's going on?"
Madelyn's voice came from the borrowed phone. Queen Maeve opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say for a moment.
"You should have seen the livestream, right?"
"Homelander attacked civilians, but I and The Flash stopped him. I don't know where they've gotten to now. That's the gist of it."
"That's right, he is The Flash, just temporarily changed into a different suit... Oh my God!"
Halfway through the call, Queen Maeve suddenly started swearing without warning, and even dropped her phone in a daze.
On the horizon where the sky meets the sea, a faintly visible white wave was rushing toward the shore at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Run! Run to higher ground!"
Upon hearing Queen Maeve's warning, some of the passengers who'd gathered on the beach awaiting rescue turned tail and ran in the opposite direction of the sea.
Queen Maeve herself picked up two little girls who were playing in the sand and rushed toward a higher point on land.
Madelyn called out several times, but the call didn't end. After a loud "bang" from the other end of the line, Queen Maeve never responded again.
It seemed that due to some unexpected situation, the phone fell to the ground.
Madelyn put down the phone with a grave expression. The shocking news that Homelander had gone mad and attacked the public was enough to destroy the image and reputation that Vought Corporation had spent decades building.
She had a premonition that it wouldn't be long before she was completely overwhelmed by inquiries from Congress and termination letters from brand ambassadors, even before things had fully developed.
Ding ding ding...
Sure enough, the phone rang again less than 10 seconds after it was hung up.
Madelyn didn't go to take it immediately. Instead, she crossed her arms and went to the window, thinking about her next move.
Homelander was controlled by a psychic superhuman among the terrorists during the battle, which led him to do crazy things that were completely different from his usual behavior.
This seems like a good idea!
However, there were now over a hundred mouths that needed to be silenced, and there was also the follow-up public opinion guidance, which would be a considerable expense...
Wait, what is that?
Like Madelyn, many New Yorkers witnessed the same scene.
A blue figure sped across the distant sky. A loud sonic boom followed him as he passed.
"What is that? Is it a supersonic fighter jet?"
"That is Homelander!"
"Homelander's back!"
"He must have saved the world again!"
Fans cheered enthusiastically in Times Square. But the next second, a black shadow descended from the sky, and a fist with afterimages knocked him down from the sky, falling to the ground like a cannonball.
The impact created a huge crater at the center, while the surrounding road surface rose up like compressed water. Several cars were thrown out of the road. Many pedestrians scattered in fear, creating a chaotic scene.
The Mind Network listened to the voices of many New Yorkers. Jordan realized that many people were still unaware of what happened on the plane and what followed.
Hovering mid-air, he took out his phone. As he watched Homelander struggling to get up at the bottom of the crater, Jordan raised his hand and pressed down.
The sunken ground was reinforced by the force field. Then a series of gravity fields, compressed into cubes, bombarded Homelander's body one after another!
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
The deafening roar continued. The glass of the surrounding buildings shattered one after another due to the resonance.
As more and more people saw Jordan playing on his phone in the air, and Homelander constantly getting up and being heavily knocked down, they spontaneously took out their phones to shoot videos or start livestreaming.
Homelander, who was bombarded by the force field, was briefly brought under control. Jordan calmly opened the video file. The Mind Network expanded and invaded all TV, computer, and mobile phone screens in New York City that could play videos, repeatedly playing the video of the plane going out of control and the live recording of the beach.
For a moment, the entire city fell silent. People subconsciously watched the two videos. Then an uproar ensued.
"Damn it! How dare he?"
"He wouldn't even save two children!"
"Is this the true face of Homelander? It disgusts me!"
"Well done, boss! Hahaha! Homelander, you've finally met your match!"
The protests, the insults, the screams of "Fake News"...
These voices entered Homelander's mind, which possessed super senses, without missing a single word. The heavy blow from behind no longer seemed to matter. In despair, he slammed his fist into the ground, knowing that what he'd done could no longer be hidden.
The force field-reinforced road surface was shattered by Homelander's superhuman strength. Before the next force field attack could arrive, he dove down and broke through the concrete base below.
The asphalt pavement burst open with obvious cracks. Shattered rocks and concrete flew to both sides.
Without even needing to lock on with Mind Network, Jordan left an afterimage in place and chased after him. He reached into the road surface. The hard base force field broke through, pulling out a disheveled figure with a naked upper body and a small tuft of chest hair on his pectoral muscles.
Jordan pressed down on Homelander's head, plowing a deep trench in the ground. Before crashing into a building head-on, it made a 90° turn and suddenly took off.
In the blink of an eye, the two figures disappeared into the clouds.
This level of combat was too destructive to the city. Even with Jordan's force field reinforcement, the steel city built by humans still couldn't withstand a crazed Homelander rampaging through it.
So Jordan turned the battlefield to the sky.
But Homelander clearly didn't want to be left to his own devices.
His face, already scabbed over, flushed red with hot blood. With a sudden burst of strength, he broke free from Jordan's grasp.
"I have never offended you! Never!"
"I can't be a damn superhero anymore! What more do you want?!"
His hoarse roar was filled with resentment and rage. Anyone who didn't know better would think that Jordan had done something inhumane to him.
What happened during this victim's statement?
Am I the villain?
Are you confessing, Homelander?
Homelander responded with two beams of heat rays, which Jordan easily dodged by tilting his head.
"You know, there's a saying that's very suitable for this occasion."
"Forgiving you is God's business. My job is to send you to see Him."
