Chapter 83 The Godfather
Michael!
One who resembles a god, vice-ruler of heaven, archangel, commander of the angelic legion —
Angels, who hold a very important position and are clearly documented in the Bible!
Now, in order to fight against Satan, he has come again!
Instantly, believers, whether at the scene or online, fell silent.
Previously, whatever thoughts I had in my mind—fear, hesitation, worry, or something else entirely—I was prepared to let them pass.
Now, none of that matters anymore.
Because at this moment, only devotion matters!
This kind of mentality is difficult for people without a corresponding belief to understand.
It's the 21st century, and they still come up with such an old-fashioned idea as the descent of angels to earth.
But in the eyes of true believers, this is a miracle!
This is proof that God saved them!
Those who could personally come to the vicinity of the Water Tower at this time were naturally selected devout believers.
At this moment, they witnessed firsthand Li Yuan being bathed in divine light and transforming into Michael, the angel who had once defeated Satan.
Just then, the sun rose again, dispelling the darkness of the night.
This solemn and sacred scene was deeply imprinted in their hearts.
Li Yuan casually glanced down, and a heavy pressure descended from the sky, pressing down on everyone.
Whether they were at the scene or watching the live stream, all the believers felt a deep tremor and a sense of "I am being noticed".
The next moment, Li Yuan's six wings flapped, and he soared into the sky, transforming into a streak of light that disappeared into the giant fireball in the sky, which was brighter than the real sun.
"Red! Color! Dawn! Ming!"
Inside the fireball, Homelander, who had been trapped for a long time and was extremely furious, saw Li Yuan appear and, without saying a word, his eyes glowed red as he shot two lasers directly at Li Yuan's head.
Li Yuan seemed not to have reacted, remaining motionless as the two red lightning bolts struck his eyes.
This time, it was the Homelanders who were stunned.
However, he was only stunned for a moment.
Immediately, a ferocious smile appeared on his face, his mouth stretching almost to his ears, as he unleashed the maximum power of his laser eyes, intending to kill Li Yuan with a single blow.
But soon, he realized something was wrong.
He saw it clearly; his laser eyes had indeed hit Li Yuan's eyes precisely, but Li Yuan not only didn't dodge or flinch, but instead revealed a mocking smile.
More importantly, Li Yuan seemed to have been completely unharmed!
"Hehehe, what, you're surprised? Don't you understand what's going on?" Li Yuan openly mocked him. "How about this?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Homelander saw that the two red lasers he had fired were actually forced back!
What repelled his laser eyes was actually the blue-white beam of light shooting from Li Yuan's eyes!
"You have laser eyes too?" Homelander's face was full of disbelief as he gritted his teeth and continued to intensify the power of the red laser.
"Laser eyes? Wrong! This is just atomic breath released from the eyes." Li Yuan smiled, and then the blue-white beam of light in his eyes suddenly became more condensed.
Almost instantly, it pierced through the two red laser beams and shot into the eyes of the motherlandman!
"ah--"
Homelander let out a scream as the two red lasers vanished, and he instinctively covered his eyes.
Li Yuan instantly appeared behind the Patriot, his hands passing under the Patriot's armpits and tightly clasping together at the back of his neck, locking his upper body in place.
Moments later, under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Li Yuan tightly grabbed Zuguoren from behind and they plummeted together from the sky.
The sword of judgment pierced the homelander's chest completely, its tip protruding from his front.
Even so, Homelander did not die immediately.
He roared madly, his eyes flashing with an ominous red light, completely disregarding the surrounding buildings and the people below, and kept shooting out laser beams.
boom!
He swept off a corner of the top of the Water Tower with his laser eye, and a piece of reinforced concrete about the size of a car slid off the main body of the building and crashed down on the people who were praying below.
"Father-
'
Ryan yelled and swooped down, instantly overtaking the large piece of concrete at an astonishing speed, arriving beneath it and raising his arms to try and catch it.
However, the force of the falling concrete was too great; he was completely unable to hold on in the air and was knocked down as well.
As he got closer and closer to the heads of the people on the ground, Ryan roared and his eyes flashed with a fierce red light!
boom!
Two incredibly thick laser beams shot out from his eyes, piercing straight through the car-sized reinforced concrete structure and shattering it into dozens of small pieces.
However, something unexpected happened!
After his two laser beams pierced through the concrete, they continued their upward trajectory with undiminished force, eventually piercing right through the head of the man from the motherland!
"Father!"
Having witnessed this scene, Ryan was stunned and even forgot how to fly.
Just at the critical moment, the six fiery wings on Li Yuan's back suddenly flapped, shooting out countless fiery feathers that turned the shattered concrete into ashes before it could fall on the heads of the people below!
Then, Li Yuan stopped holding Homelander with both hands and instead grabbed Ryan, who was falling freely, with one hand holding his belt.
Looking at Ryan, whose eyes seemed to have lost their luster, Li Yuan said solemnly, "Ryan, your father died fighting against Satan, and what you just did allowed his soul to rest in peace."
"Don't be sad. Your actions just now saved countless kind and innocent people. I believe your father will be proud of you."
Upon hearing Li Yuan's words, Ryan, who had been in a daze, seemed to gradually regain his senses and take control of his body once again.
Li Yuan released his hand and they floated down together to the top of the crowd.
At some point, the sword of judgment on Homelander's chest, as well as Li Yuan's armor, scales, and other items, all disappeared.
At this moment, Li Yuan once again transformed into Crimson Dawn, dressed in a red military-style trench coat.
He held tightly to the shoulders of Homelander's body and solemnly announced, "Ladies and gentlemen, I now solemnly announce to you!"
"Satan! He's been cast back into hell once more!"
"That evil force that lingered among humanity was completely eradicated thanks to the heroic sacrifice of the people of our motherland!"
He put his other arm around Ryan's shoulder and shouted, "As you all have seen, it is this child who has brought peace to our superhero Homelander!"
"His name is Ryan!"
"He is the son of the Fatherland!"
"Though the father of our homeland has returned to the embrace of the Lord, his bloodline continues! His spirit and his will have been fully passed on to his son, Ryan!"
"I believe that in the not-too-distant future, Ryan will protect you and protect America, just like a Homelander!!!"
boom!
The crowd erupted, countless people rushing forward on a pilgrimage, wanting to touch the person blessed by God and the boy who inherited the blood of heroes—
The night when Satan and Michael descended at the same time has passed.
However, the impact it brought will not dissipate so quickly.
The influence of the Wotech Group has reached new heights in a very short period of time, far exceeding any previous record.
Although the Wotech Group appears to have many shareholders, it is actually completely controlled by Li Yuan.
Even the newly elected president was not one of the few who originally had the highest chance of success.
The most prestigious candidates all stepped down or were arrested for various reasons before the current president was chosen.
Of course, he was able to reach that position because he was fortunate enough to have the opportunity to pledge allegiance to Li Yuan.
After dealing with all these tedious matters, Li Yuan devoted most of his energy to improving himself.
After arduous research, on this day, the original compound 5 was finally successfully replicated.
Looking at the medicine in the glass tube, which was full of the colors of the last century, Li Yuan took a deep breath and injected it into his body.
"As expected—it really can grant immortality, my lifespan has increased by about—well, barely, but it's not bad."
After sensing the changes in his body, Li Yuan nodded slightly.
"Next, if I want to improve further, I'll have to hope I'm lucky enough to encounter some powerful superpowers—"
'
"No! There's also her!"
Suddenly, Li Yuan remembered something.
In the evening, Victoria Newman returned home looking exhausted.
The person she had initially favored as a potential successor to the throne was unexpectedly captured due to a mysterious force of unknown origin.
Naturally, her dream of becoming vice president also vanished along with it.
Fortunately, she is still the director of the Superhuman Affairs Bureau for the time being.
However, it seems that her term is coming to an end.
-
It was only then that she couldn't help but miss the days when she was protected by others.
"Sigh."
With a long sigh, Newman was about to take off his clothes to take a shower when suddenly everything went black and he collapsed unconscious.
Li Yuan, who appeared behind her without her noticing, simply moved his eyes, and she was placed on the bed by an invisible force.
Immediately, Li Yuan reached out a hand and grabbed the top of her head.
absorb!
In an instant, Newman's superpower to manipulate blood was absorbed into his body.
"Hmm? Why does it seem like—"
After carefully experiencing his newly acquired abilities, Li Yuan suddenly discovered something interesting.
The ability to manipulate blood can be used to control one's own blood as well as the blood of others within a certain distance.
But after Li Yuan absorbed it, this superpower seemed to have changed.
After testing it out, he discovered that when he used this superpower, his control over his own blood was far superior to Newman's.
However, when it comes to manipulating other people's blood, his abilities are far inferior to Newman's.
"Interesting. Is this some kind of—adaptation? This superpower is actively becoming more adaptable to me?"
After thinking for a while, he left Newman's house silently.
Then, without stopping, they arrived at Gododkin University.
Among this year's freshmen, there was one person who, like the Homelander, was also a successful experimental subject of the Odessa Project.
The so-called Odessa Project refers to an experiment conducted by the Vought Group, in which compound 5 was injected into the egg when it was in the blastocyst stage, 5 to 7 days after fertilization.
Ultimately, only two of the test subjects survived.
One of them is Homelander.
The other is "Bloody Mary," a Black girl currently enrolled at Godotkin University.
Her superpower, at first glance, is the same as Newman's superpower of manipulating blood.
But in reality, this is just the surface.
Once Bloody Mary's control over her superpowers reaches a certain level, she can even control cells!
Without anyone noticing, Li Yuan easily found Bloody Mary and absorbed her superpowers while she was unconscious.
At this point, Mary's control over her superpowers was far from being able to manipulate cells.
After Li Yuan absorbed her superpowers, those superpowers merged directly with Newman's superpowers.
And he directly achieved control at the cellular level!
However, as before, this superpower can only reach a subtle level when Li Yuan is in control of himself.
Manipulating other people's cells is extremely difficult.
However, thanks to the integration of similar superpowers, his ability to manipulate other people's blood has been enhanced.
"Taking matters into our own hands isn't impossible, so what's next—"
After thinking for a moment, Li Yuan then found a girl at Godotkin University codenamed "Chameleon" and absorbed her superpowers.
In her case, this superpower manifests as the ability to unconditionally copy other people's superpowers and use them for 60 seconds without any conditions, simply by touching them.
Of course, such powerful superpowers come with a price.
For example, after she realized this superpower, a long tail grew out of her back forever.
This is also the origin of her nickname "Chameleon".
Now that Li Yuan has absorbed her superpowers, the tail on her back has also disappeared.
This replicated superpower was also enhanced after entering Li Yuan's body.
As for the side effects of having a long tail, they are naturally impossible to occur.
"With these two superpowers, as long as we continue to develop them, in the future—"
In the darkness of night, Li Yuan, with a smile on his face, soared into the sky and instantly vanished from Godotkin University.
As for those superhumans who have lost their superpowers, there are dedicated teams to help them return to normal life as ordinary people, so he doesn't need to worry about it.
In a silvery sea of stars.
Li Yuan from Joy of Life, Li Yuan from Kengan, Li Yuan from Wasteland, Li Yuan from Black Robe, and Li Yuan from Godzilla all appeared at this gate. Just then, three silver stars at different directions and heights suddenly burst out with dazzling light, looking like three silver suns!
The next moment, accompanied by the falling silver starlight, three figures quickly solidified from the ethereal and appeared!
