65: Now, should you feel relieved?

Blacklight Star.

After Joa brought Homelander over.

Homelander was immediately wrapped into a large zongzi by black and red tentacles, with only his head exposed.

“Spare me… please… I’m still useful…”

“I’m willing to submit to You! I just beg You to spare my life!”

Looking at the hell-like environment around him, Homelander swallowed hard and stammered, begging Joa to let him go.

While controlling the Blacklight Star to devour Homelander, Joa smiled and said,

“Submit to me? What use are You?”

“You’re useless!”

Feeling the black tentacles wrapped around him devouring him, Homelander hastily said,

“I’m useless, You’re right.”

“But I’m still useful… still useful, I can help You… help You…”

As he spoke, Homelander seemed to have thought of something.

“I can help You attack the whole World! Yes! I can help You attack the whole World!”

“I’m very strong!”

“I… I can also help You control the entire Planet, whatever You want, I’ll get it for You.”

Homelander’s cowardly nature made Joa frown again.

He was indeed very pragmatic, but he was a bit too soft.

So soft that Joa didn't even want to completely absorb him.

Absorbing the memories of such a person would definitely defile his eyes.

‘Perhaps keeping him and letting him lead the Blacklight Life to attack the whole World would work.’

‘Anyway, I don’t have to completely devour him to gain his abilities.’

‘And… letting Blacklight Life mine… is a bit of an overkill.’

‘Turn everyone in The Boys world into slaves and let Homelander supervise them mining?’

‘This way, I won’t have to stay here watching all the time.’

‘I just need to open the Space-Time Gate, synchronize the time flow, and I can go back to Marvel Universe to enjoy life.’

Thinking of this, Joa sneered.

“You successfully saved your own life.”

With that, Joa controlled the Blacklight Star to inject life energy and Blacklight Virus into Homelander’s body.

Screams rang out.

After a long time.

Homelander, who had finished fusing with the Blacklight Virus, widened his eyes and looked at Joa with an expression of disbelief, his eyes exceptionally fervent.

‘This is the only true god worthy of my devotion!’

‘Vought Corporation! What right do they have to control me?!’

“Great and supreme black light will!”

“I am willing to dedicate everything I have, including my soul, to serve You for all eternity…”

“Stop! Shut up!”

Homelander hadn't finished his oath when Joa interrupted him, then continued,

“You go and lead the Blacklight Life to conquer the whole World, then call the Blacklight Warriors back.”

“As You command! Great and…”

“Call me Boss!”

“As You command! Boss!”

Watching him rush out of the Space-Time Gate, Joa shook his head helplessly.

‘Why do I feel like I have another oddball like DeFrey under my command?’

Exhaling lightly, Joa controlled the Blacklight Star to begin strengthening himself.

Heat Vision, Invulnerability, X-Ray Vision, Telescopic Vision, Flight, Super Strength, Super Speed, Super Stamina, Super Hearing, Super Smell.

After gaining all of Homelander’s abilities, Joa’s expression was surprised.

It wasn’t just as simple as gaining Homelander’s abilities.

Joa clenched his fist, his body sank, and he looked up at the crimson sky.

With a bang.

Joa, at an extremely fast speed, rushed out of the atmosphere and into the Universe.

‘Speed… strength… all abilities have been greatly enhanced.’

‘No wonder Homelander’s gaze was so fervent just now.’

Looking at the Moon in the distance, Joa’s lips curved into a smile.

Then he rushed towards it at full speed.

The perigee between Earth and Moon is 356,500 kilometers.

From Earth to Moon, even at the speed of light, 300,000 kilometers per second, it takes a little over one second.

And Joa arrived at the Moon when he counted to about 60 seconds in his mind.

“Hahahahaha!”

Laughing silently, Joa was extremely excited.

Although it was much slower than a certain version of Superman’s three-quarters light speed.

But with his current physical strength, at full break out, one-sixtieth the speed of light, tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of tons of strength.

It already made him extremely satisfied.

His eyes glowed red, and Joa unleashed Heat Vision towards the Moon.

Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle!

As he continuously scanned, deep, bottomless cracks appeared on the Moon.

He experienced each of his current abilities.

After a long time.

‘Phew~!’

‘Compared to Captain Marvel, who can traverse the Universe with her physical body, and various other gods, I might still not be able to defeat them.’

‘I haven’t reached the level of a single Universe yet, so I can’t be reckless.’

Constantly admonishing himself, Joa gradually calmed down.

One minute later.

Blacklight Star.

Joa landed on the ground and casually opened the Space-Time Gate to the Marvel Universe.

???

Ancient One?

Why was she waiting for him at the door again?

“Sorcerer Supreme… are You very idle?”

“Don’t You have anything else to do?”

“Don’t You need to deal with Dormammu?”

Without answering Joa’s question, Ancient One said softly,

“Can I go and see?”

Frowning at Ancient One, Joa was full of doubts.

He really couldn’t understand what that Sorcerer Supreme was thinking.

“...If You want to see, then come in and see.”

“Thank You!”

After thanking him, Ancient One stepped through the Space-Time Gate and had just entered the Blacklight Star.

Countless Blacklight Life emerged from the ground.

The eyes on their tentacles stared intently at the outsider.

Seeing this, Joa moved his mind, and the Blacklight Life slowly sank into the ground.

Looking at Joa, Ancient One smiled and said,

“Interesting creatures…”

Then, she turned her head to look at another Space-Time Gate.

“Are You… invading other Worlds?”

“Yes.”

“What about it?”

“No, what about it?”

Joa’s gaze was fixed on Ancient One.

They were currently on the Blacklight Star.

Ancient One couldn't borrow power from Vishanti here.

If he wanted to get rid of her, it would be a matter of a single thought.

“You seem to have misunderstood me.”

Hearing this, Joa didn’t understand what she meant.

“Misunderstanding?”

“What do You mean?”

Raising her hand, a magic circle appeared in her palm, and Ancient One slowly said,

“Although most of my strength is suppressed.”

“But I’m not completely powerless to resist.”

Seeing this, Joa’s face turned ugly.

‘Damn it! What’s going on?’

‘How can Ancient One borrow power from Vishanti and use magic in the Prototype World?’

This was not good news for Joa.

Ancient One’s actions indicated that the top combat power of Marvel could invade other Universes.

This…

“You don’t need to worry, I have no ill intentions.”

“I’m just a little curious.”

“Curious?”

Under Joa’s puzzled gaze, Ancient One’s hands glowed, and a magic circle appeared, aimed at the eroding ground.

No? Buddy?

What are You doing?

Clearly feeling the loss of the Blacklight Star’s life energy, and Ancient One’s slightly furrowed brow, as if enduring pain.

Joa was bewildered.

Why was she actively fusing with the Blacklight Virus?

A moment later.

After fusing with the Blacklight Virus, the Dark Dimension mark on Ancient One’s forehead disappeared.

Closing her eyes, Ancient One let out a soft breath.

“Phew! Much clearer.”

Then, she turned her head and looked at the bewildered Joa, Ancient One said,

“Now… You should be relieved, right?”
