136. Chapter 136 Homelander: Son, I Knew You Could Do It!
Walking Through The Heavens to a Two-Star World requires one thousand Fantasy Value, which means his current Fantasy Value can only support him for two uses of Walking Through The Heavens. As for the One-Star World, which costs one hundred Fantasy Value per trip, it's purely a waste of time for Xia Shang at this point.
He closed the Panel and looked at the Compound V on the coffee table.
As Xia Shang raised his hands, the glass tubes containing the blue liquid floated one by one in the air.
"Shatter!" Xia Shang suddenly clenched his right hand. Ten test tubes, pulled by his Psychic Power, instantly collided with a bang. A puddle of liquid mixed with glass shards floated before Xia Shang.
Immediately after, Xia Shang leaned back on the sofa and sifted out the glass shards from the Compound V little by little. His expression was exceptionally focused, and the entire process was very slow. This was a delicate task, severely testing Xia Shang's mastery of Psychic Power.
However, to reduce the difficulty, Xia Shang specifically extended several extremely fine tentacles to absorb the Compound V.
[Telekinetic Pull Fusion in progress, current progress 31...32...39%...]
Because his physique had been strengthened by more than double compared to before, he could absorb more Compound V. Therefore, even though the efficacy of Compound V was constantly decreasing for him, he could compensate for this deficiency by increasing the quantity.
Soon, a thin layer of sweat beaded on Xia Shang's forehead. Controlling Psychic Power not only consumed his stamina but also his mental focus.
Fortunately, just as Xia Shang's Psychic Power was about to be depleted, the Compound V floating in the air had been completely absorbed by the tentacles.
"It seems that from now on, if I want to obtain Compound V, I can only do so through other means." Xia Shang waved his hand, and the glass shards scattered on the ground immediately floated up from the floor and into the trash can.
Through the ability Extreme Control, Xia Shang understood that his body had not reached its limit.
So, he walked to the suitcase and absorbed all the remaining Compound V.
At this moment, the Fusion Degree on the Panel had reached 72%.
Xia Shang estimated that by next week, he would be able to completely fuse Telekinetic Pull. Only then would he use the ability Walking Through The Heavens again.
......
Late at night, in a wooden cabin.
Homelander saw Madelyn Stillwell again. He looked affectionately at the woman before him.
"You're such a good child. It's been so long, do you miss me?" Madelyn Stillwell said.
Homelander didn't bother to respond. In this ambiguous atmosphere, the two quickly started kissing, igniting like dry tinder...
Two minutes later, the session was over, and Homelander revealed a comfortable expression.
"Do you know? That bitch actually became the object of adoration among the media. Now everyone thinks she's the spokesperson for The Seven, not me. If it weren't for those idiots holding me back, she wouldn't have gotten credit for this no matter what." Homelander complained.
"How could she become the spokesperson for The Seven? Please, only you are." Madelyn Stillwell got up and sat next to Homelander, agreeing with him and comforting him, "Don't take these things to heart."
"It's hard not to take something like this to heart." Homelander rested his head on Madelyn Stillwell's lap.
He kept complaining that Starlight and the others were just a bunch of dead weight.
Madelyn Stillwell gently comforted him, but the next second, she let out a terrified sound. Her voice also changed from the original female voice to a rough male voice: "Oh, my time is up."
As soon as he finished speaking, he changed back into the obese Doppelganger.
Homelander was greatly startled. He yelled in terror, "Change back quickly!" The Doppelganger didn't dare disobey Homelander's command and quickly activated his superpower, changing back into Madelyn Stillwell's appearance.
"Phew..." Seeing the Doppelganger change back into Madelyn Stillwell again, Homelander let out a sigh of relief. He looked at the Doppelganger before him and warned, "I'm warning you, next time you change back without my permission, I'll twist your head off and use it as a ball!"
The next day.
Homelander walked into Vought Tower with a smile on his face. This couldn't help but greatly surprise the staff members in the Lobby. One must know that recently, Homelander's complexion had been quite unpleasant. Facing the Homelander who was about to lose his temper, they were practically trembling with fear, afraid of accidentally displeasing him.
"Where's Ryan?" Homelander asked a staff member nearby.
"He should be in the Training Room. I just saw Mr. Jervis take him up there."
The staff member said timidly.
Homelander didn't linger and walked straight towards the Training Room.
Meanwhile, inside the Training Room, Ryan was staring blankly at the can in front of him. "Mr. Jervis, I don't think I can do it. I've forgotten how it felt yesterday."
Ryan was a little anxious. This was the first time he had been so invested in training, but the result left him a bit disappointed.
"Don't worry. Think about how it felt back then? Or you can simulate the image of that moment in your mind." Xia Shang patiently instructed.
"How it felt back then? Angry?" Ryan tried to make himself angry. Unfortunately, his experiences meant his emotions weren't prone to sensitive fluctuations.
After all, he had been protected by Becca since he was a child, practically having everything handed to him. Although some desires couldn't be satisfied, because he was almost isolated from the world, he didn't have any strong desires. Unlike Homelander, Ryan grew up under Becca's careful nurturing.
This resulted in Ryan not having experienced anything that made him very angry.
Just then, Homelander pushed the door open and walked in. He wore a brilliant smile like sunlight and opened his arms to Ryan: "I saw that video from yesterday. You did great, son. I knew you could do it."
Although Ryan didn't rush into his arms as he had hoped, Homelander didn't mind. He walked up to Ryan and scooped him into a hug.
"Do you know what the media is calling you now? Little Homelander! First thing this morning, I saw someone leave a comment on my Twitter saying I've raised a superhero as powerful as me." Homelander said excitedly.
He even gained two hundred thousand followers because of Ryan, which made him incredibly happy.
"Come on, show me again, sweetie."
Homelander put Ryan down and looked at him with expectant eyes.
Having no other choice, Ryan could only return to his original position and stare wide-eyed at the can.
Time passed bit by bit. The smile on Homelander's face also disappeared. He turned his head to look at Xia Shang: "Did he also charge up for so long yesterday?"
Xia Shang shook his head, shattering Homelander's fantasy.
"So, yesterday was just a coincidence? He still can't actively shoot Heat Vision?" Homelander still wouldn't give up.
"Based on the current training results, yes."
"Fucking hell!" Homelander's expression became extremely unpleasant, like he had just swallowed a fly.
