Chapter 219: Chat Afterward

When the motherland passed away.

Even if Kevin didn't stay with the people of his motherland, he still had some vague feelings.

The rapidly rising skill points are the best proof.

The motherland man alone gave Kevin close to twenty skill points.

This is unmatched by anyone before.

Looking at the skill points in the skill tree that had exceeded forty and were heading towards fifty, Kevin took a deep breath and rushed towards the underground facility where the storm was located.

If Annie and her team went to stop the storm, nothing would go wrong, and Kevin didn't think there would be any surprises.

But just in case, Kevin thought it would be better for him to go over and take a look.

Go through the corridor and reach the deepest part of the facility.

Deep in the facility that was almost in ruins, Kevin saw Annie and her group.

Fortunately, things did not surprise Kevin. When Kevin arrived at the scene, Storm had been pinned to the ground by Annie and Maeve.

Black was performing first aid on the shock wave. When he saw Kevin coming, he gestured to the facilities in the distance to indicate that the facilities over there were more important.

Kevin walked forward to look at the old objects and asked Anne and the others:

"What's this?"

"have no idea."

Annie held down Storm with one hand, absorbed the electricity from Storm, and answered Kevin's question:

"She refused to say it. She said she would only say it after seeing you."

"Is that so? Then here I come, Storm. Do you have anything to say?"

Kevin's eyes fell on Storm.

Storm, whose abilities are now completely restrained by Anne, cannot escape Anne's control at this moment.

After struggling twice and finding that she couldn't break free at all, she gave up and looked up at Kevin:

"...There's nothing to say. This is...a device prepared for war, but now...it can no longer function as it should."

When Feng Feng said this, he suddenly laughed: "Haha, you succeeded Kevin, you succeeded in strangling a new ethnic group in the cradle, and successfully created and handed over weapons that they might use against us in the future. Gave them.

"You are the sinner of the tribe..."

"Your words sound familiar. Oh, now that I think about it, I think if you go to the world of mutants, you must have something in common with Magneto."

Listening to these slightly familiar words, Kevin thought of a person.

Magneto in the X-Men world, his philosophy is essentially no different from Storm.

Even the concept of storm is more extreme.

"who?"

Storm was stunned when Kevin mentioned a completely unfamiliar name.

Anne was quite helpless on top of her.

She knew Kevin was talking about another world, but now was clearly not the time.

Anne had no choice but to remind him:

"Kevin."

"I'm sorry, it's mainly because their ideas are so similar that I couldn't help but get in touch. Anyway, let's not talk anymore, Storm, no..."

When Kevin said this, his tone became formal:

"Ms. Clara Lessinger, you are now suspected of carrying out fascist activities, attempting to launch indiscriminate terrorist attacks on society, infringing on the personal safety of others, spreading false statements and other charges. Do you have anything to defend?"

"Come on Kevin, are you still doing this with me now? Or are you planning to hand me over to those humans for 'trial'? If that's the case, then I will really look down on you."

They have all become prisoners of Kevin's subordinates, but Feng Feng is still tough-talking and trying to provoke Kevin.

Kevin shook his head slightly, squatted down and put his hand next to Storm's cheek:

"I'm just giving myself a false excuse to kill you, don't worry about it."

"...You want...to kill me?"

"John is dead, you're next."

"John..." Storm was not very familiar with the name Kevin mentioned. It took her a while to understand who Kevin was talking about.

That is the name of the people of the motherland.

"You killed him?! You...really killed him?! Why...we are the same kind! You beast! How could you kill a perfect being among us!"

"This is already the case and you still insist on this point of view. To be honest, I admire you a little bit, Storm, but like I said, I am now the president of the Vought Group. I am not bragging, and I am also the president of all superhuman beings. The strongest among them, I can do whatever I want.”

Kevin said, and before Storm could answer, he put his hand on Storm's cheek and activated his ability.

Kevin controlled the blood in Storm's body, and his gentleness destroyed everything in her mind.

Storm, who had loudly asked Kevin why he did this just now, fell to the ground in the next moment with his eyes losing their luster.

Blood and something thicker came out of her ears and nostrils. Seeing this, Anne and Maeve let her go and watched her twitching on the ground.

"She...is dead?"

Maeve asked blankly, then she raised her head and asked Kevin: "The people from the motherland are also... dead?"

"Well, it's over, Maeve, it's over."

Kevin wiped his hands and answered expressionlessly.

The skill points given by Storm were less than half of those from the motherland. It seemed that her status was still not as high as that of the motherland.

But it doesn't matter. The people of the motherland died, the storm also died in Kevin's hands, and the people and things that Kevin worried about in the black robe world will no longer exist.

He could finally do what he wanted to do with confidence and boldness.

After letting Anne lead Maeve and others to deal with the aftermath here, Kevin notified the Water Group to seal off this place, and then left the underground facility and prepared to go upstairs to take a breath.

As soon as he walked to the ground, Kevin saw a black van driving towards him.

The van stopped not far from him, and then the door opened, revealing Butcher sitting in it. He looked at Kevin and smiled.

Kevin also looked at him, and finally laughed, pointing at Butcher and said:

"You bastard dared to appear in front of me openly? Aren't you afraid that I will let Water's people arrest you?"

"Whatever, anyway, our work is over. It's up to you whether you plan to throw away this dirty glove or continue to use it."

"You are quite open-minded."

Kevin was joking, but he didn't really intend to arrest Butcher.

He walked to Butcher's side and looked at his feet.

There was a leg in Kevin's sight, but because of the door blocking it, Kevin couldn't see the whole picture clearly.

Noticing Kevin's gaze, Butcher did not hide it and opened the car door wider, revealing the body of Homelander inside:

"Are you satisfied with the gift I brought you?"

"It's okay. Did he say anything when he died?"

Kevin asked while looking at Homelander's body in a trance.

Butcher shook his head: "What about 'we are all jokes'... It's all nonsense. I'm too lazy to listen to it. I'll just kill him."

"Is that so..."

Butcher's understated words made Kevin a little dazed.

Homelander, who is omnipotent and exists like a god, was killed by Butcher in a state of losing his ability.

This is normal. All of Homelander's abilities come from Compound No. 5. When Compound No. 5 disappears from his body and his superpower gene disappears, he is just an ordinary person.

For ordinary people, a pistol and a bullet are enough.

Butcher completed the feat of 'mortal killing gods' and finally got his revenge, but Kevin felt that Butcher was not as happy as he imagined.

Calming down and not thinking about Homelander anymore, Kevin leaned against the van, glanced into the distance, and chatted with Butcher:

"Although you got revenge, you don't seem very happy."

The other members of the black robe team got off the car very tactfully, walked to a place not far away where they couldn't hear any sound and chatted, leaving the space for Kevin and Butcher.

After these people left, Butcher looked at John's body on the ground and said:

"Even if he was killed, what he did wouldn't change at all..."

He paused here, and then changed the subject:

"Becca refused to leave with me."

"Oh, it turned out that she had a quarrel with her wife."

Kevin suddenly realized.

I'm afraid this is what Butcher was unhappy about.

Even if Homelander died, what would happen? He hurt Butcher's wife Rebecca and made Rebecca have a superhuman child that shouldn't exist.

Now Rebecca's heart is all on the child. She doesn't even care about Butcher as her husband, and she's not willing to leave with him. It's strange that Butcher would be happy.

Knowing what Butcher was worried about, Kevin said:

"Homelander is dead, the protection of Ryan can be lifted, you can choose to take your wife back, I won't stop you."

"It has nothing to do with this matter, it's Becca who doesn't want to go with me, you understand? She thinks I will hurt her superhuman son, a shitty superhuman son..."

"Then will you?"

"..."

Butcher was silent.

His silence represented everything.

Kevin sneered:

"Even you think you will hurt him, how can you expect your wife to go back with you?"

"Maybe you can help..."

"Me?"

"Your No. 5 serum."

Butcher mentioned the potion that can turn superhumans back to humans.

It seems that he wants Ryan to inject the potion and turn back to normal humans, so that Butcher may treat Ryan well.

Butcher thought so, but Kevin just shook his head:

"I can't help you, because the reason you will hurt Ryan is not because he is a superhuman."

"?"

"It doesn't matter whether he is a superhuman or not. It's important whether he is the son of the motherland. What you care about is not his superhuman identity at all. What you care about is his identity as the son of the motherland."

What targeting superhumans, what not liking superhumans, this is all bullshit.

Maybe Butcher does hate superhumans, but he won't really attack a teenager.

What Butcher hates is the blood flowing in Ryan's body, the genes inherited from the motherland.

This is the root of Butcher's dislike for Ryan.

"And." Kevin added: "Whether superhumans want to become ordinary people is entirely up to the personal wishes of superhumans. I won't force them."

On the surface, there will be no coercion. After all, Kevin wants to occupy the title of "righteousness" and can't really let that group of superhumans rise up.

So even in order to maintain the superficial righteousness, Kevin can't ignore Ryan's personal ideas and take away Ryan's superpowers.

But Butcher saw through Kevin's thoughts at a glance, and he laughed disdainfully:

"Nonsense."

Then he looked at John's body at his feet.

The meaning is self-evident. It is said that the personal wishes of superhumans should be respected, but in the end, Homelander was injected with serum by Kevin and lost his superpowers.

Kevin also knew that he could not convince Butcher, but the right to explain was his.

"Homelander is an exception, yes, Storm is also an exception, and are you sure you want to talk to me about this? I helped you get revenge."

"It also helped me eliminate the enemy."

Butcher said calmly, but he did not continue to delve into the matter. He pointed at Homelander's body and ended the conversation:

"Okay, Walter's people should be here soon, and we have to leave too. It...you can deal with it."

After that, Butcher threw Homelander's body off the car like garbage.

Then he greeted the people in black robes and drove away.
