Of course, Li Yue had no way nor interest to know the conversation between the onlookers.
Li Yue had already carried Homelander's body to space. From up here, the blue planet beneath his feet looked like an insignificant speck of dust in the vast universe.
Li Yue felt no discomfort, even though this was the first time he had gone to space. Perhaps due to his evolution ability, he even felt that he had stopped breathing entirely.
Space was cold, but the near-absolute zero temperature didn't harm Li Yue's body. He only felt a momentary chill on his back that was instantly dispelled by the warmth of his body!
Li Yue turned to face the sun. Without the protection of the atmosphere, the immense radiation of the sun had hit him directly. All of his cells that got hit by the direct sunray felt more energetic.
Unfortunately, the knockoff version of Superman's power that Li Yue obtained couldn't infinitely supercharge under direct sunlight like the real one.
But just discovering that he could survive in space greatly pleased Li Yue.
Li Yue looked at the distant, immensely energetic star, and thought of something. He disappeared along with Homelander's body!
...
Li Yue appeared again and arrived at the center of the solar system, not far from the largest and only star in it.
The sun was about 1.496 million kilometers away from Earth. Li Yue's current top speed was only a few times the speed of sound. That might sound fast, but even light needed more than eight minutes to cross the distance between Earth and the sun. Who knows how long it would take for him if he flew directly?!
But the flight wasn't Li Yue's superpower anyway. He could reach wherever he wanted in less than a second with a mere thought, countless times faster than the speed of light!
Li Yue was only several tens of kilometers from the sun. He stared at the star: 109 times larger in diameter than the Earth, and 13 million times larger in terms of volume. The naked eye couldn't see the end of its surface.
The surface heat of 6,000 degrees Celsius instantly melted all the clothes on Li Yue and Homelander! Fortunately, Homelander was already dead, so Li Yue didn't need to be embarrassed!
Li Yue also felt a burning sensation on his skin, but fortunately, it was not very strong, and soon it was dispelled by Li Yue's evolution. He was no longer affected by the burning sensation!
"After returning to Marvel's world, I will definitely go to Wakanda and get a Vibranium armor!"
After returning from Asgard last time, Li Yue was busy with the preparations for traveling to the next world that he forgot about this matter. He secretly reminded himself to go to Wakanda once he returned!
...
Putting these thoughts aside, Li Yue stopped dilly-dallying and threw Homelander's corpse at the sun.
Li Yue didn't use much strength, but his base strength was already too high.
Homelander's body still rushed to the surface of the sun at an extreme speed. With little to no air resistance, it took Homelander's body less than ten seconds to be swallowed by the sun's fiery surface.
I hope you can become the real Superman in your next life!
There wasn't really a deep enmity between Li Yue and Homelander. Homelander's background was a mystery, having been abandoned by his parents and growing up in a laboratory! Now that he had been killed and his body thrown into the sun, it might just be for the best!
That was why Li Yue went out of his way to go to the sun.
"It's time to go back."
Putting aside his sentimental thoughts, Li Yue's figure disappeared. He had nothing to gain by standing too long near the sun, so of course, he had to go back after finishing his business!
...
Li Yue reappeared a moment later in his home. First, he found a set of clothes to change into. He didn't want to stay naked for too long!
He then lay on the bed, entering a natural sleep that he hadn't done for so long! He had experienced a great battle today. He wasn't hurt, but it was a draining fight.
After everything was over, Li Yue felt a wave of exhaustion that brought him into a deep sleep just a few minutes after touching the bed!
While Li Yue obliviously snored on his bed, the world outside was turned upside down.
And at its source was the video that was uploaded to the internet not long ago!
It was just a single video in the sea of others uploaded by a bored netizen. It was nothing new.
The video showed a fight between two people. If they were normal people, the video wouldn't be so viral, but they were two superheroes. And one of them was immediately recognizable: it was the Seven's captain, Homelander!
A video of Homelander fighting wasn't rare. There were so many of them showing Homelander beating criminals down, attracting comments about how awesome he is.
But the Homelander in that video was one-sidedly beaten by a figure clad in lightning.
The video caused immense turmoil. Homelander's invincible image had long been engraved in the people's hearts, yet suddenly a video about him getting beaten down surfaced. Everyone couldn't help the feeling of doubt in their heart!
"This video has gotta be edited! It's a special effect to attract attention!"
...
"Yeah! Irresponsible video editor, just wait for Homelander to knock on your door! Vought International should already be writing letters to their lawyer to bring their hammers down on you. You wouldn't even have time to cry!"
.
"Yeah yeah! The lawyers had sent us a letter to boycott this video together!"
..
"Ban him! Ban him!
.
"Under my professional opinion as a veteran captain, this video is not fake!"
.
"Damn it, that's the Navy!"
.
"My only thought regarding this video was that Homelander performed too 'blandly' and looked too weak as a result. He didn't even get up after being hit into the deep pit. He must be 'asleep' down there, which means he couldn't be Homelander. He must be the famous idol..."
.
"I also think that this video is edited, but wasn't the other guy Thunderclap? The Seven's newbie from a month ago? He had been appearing along with Homelander. I didn't know that he was so strong. Can he beat Homelander?"
.
"Now, for the latest news. A plane flight had been hijacked today. Homelander and Thunderclap went to the rescue, and while there were unexpected things that occurred on the plane, the passengers of the plane all survived the incident. I believe that more information would be unveiled soon!"
...
Madelyn, the Vice President of Vought International, was deep in hot water. She had called Li Yue several times, but he never answered! The same with Homelander!
Unbeknownst to her, Dummy had already put her phone number in a block list to help Li Yue sleep better!
