Chapter 84 The Blue Hand Was Broken?
Li Yue quickly went to the bathroom and locked the door to prevent any disturbance!
His reason for joining the Seven was to get close to Homelander. He wanted to see whether the hand that had copied Darwin's ability would work on Homelander.
When Li Yue returned to Marvel's world the last time, he had tested the hand once on Tony, but he didn't feel anything different. He didn't become smarter or more focused.
Li Yue was a little depressed. Was it because Tony did not have superpowers? He then tested it again on Thor, but there was still no change.
This made Li Yue a little afraid. Was his blue hand broken? Was there a place to repair it? Hey!
Li Yue went to this world with that doubt in mind. He was ready to test it again, but he couldn't just test it on anyone. Homelander was the best choice for this.
Homelander was much weaker than Superman, but he was already plenty powerful. Moreover, unlike Superman's vulnerability to Kryptonite, Homelander didn't have any obvious weakness.
Even if Li Yue couldn't use the blue hand, he could still use his evolution ability to copy Homelander, although it would be a bit slow.
...
Li Yue carefully inspected the changes in his body. He felt like all the cells in his body had been activated, continuously splitting and recombining endlessly!
Li Yue felt that his body was constantly growing stronger, and his strength was rising at a rapid speed.
He had a feeling that a casual punch from him could blow up the building he was in! Of course, this was only an illusion borne from his recently-gained strength!
After a few minutes, Li Yue felt that the growth of his body and strength had slowed down. He could not accurately gauge how much he had grown, but he could feel for certain that his cells had been energized with an immense amount of power, allowing him to move as he pleased!
When Li Yue tried to fully review the changes in his body, he discovered that his body hadn't stopped changing.
Li Yue suddenly felt a sharp pain in the nerves around his eyes. He subconsciously covered his eyes with his hands. However, the pain left as quickly as it came. In almost an instant, Li Yue's eyes could no longer feel the pain.
When Li Yue opened his eyes again, he found that he was seeing a very different world than he had seen before. He could see the flow of the air and the subtle lines on his palm. His eyes became like a microscope.
When Li Yue concentrated, he found that he could even see through the door in front of him to the bathroom outside.
Li Yue focused his attention and looked through the wall of the bathroom. Li Yue could clearly see the members of the Seven in the conference room.
"This is... X-ray vision?"
Li Yue was surprised. He had so easily gained the ability that many other men could only dream of!
"But it should not be as simple as seeing through things!"
Li Yue thought about Homelander's other abilities and became even more excited to test them out.
Li Yue focused his attention on his eyes again. This time, the energy contained in his cells slowly gathered towards his eyes.
Li Yue felt that the surroundings of his eyes suddenly became a little hot. If someone saw Li Yue right now, they would find that Li Yue's eyes were glowing with a faint red light that was getting brighter and brighter. It was a mysterious glow that made people avert their eyes.
When the energy gathered in Li Yue's eyes peaked, Li Yue felt that he couldn't suppress that energy anymore.
Such a huge amount of energy must have been released, but then Li Yue remembered that he was still in the bathroom now. If he made too much ruckus, he would definitely be discovered!
Thinking quickly, Li Yue put his hands in front of his eyes, changing their material into silver-white metal!
Li Yue released the energy in his eyes. Two deep red beams shot out from his eyes into his Adamantium hands. He could feel the beam's tremendous power on his hands!
The red beams of light lasted for a few seconds before disappearing. The crimson glow in Li Yue's eyes gradually faded, returning to their normal appearance.
LI Yue found that his Adamantium hand was glowing slightly. It was due to the immense temperature of the beam! One could only imagine the power of that red beam! (Li Yue: ah, I burnt myself.)
Li Yue felt that his current self was still far from reaching Homelander's level!
But the changes in his body still hadn't stopped!
...
Li Yue finally came out of the bathroom after more than ten minutes. When he returned to the conference room, he found that Starlight had arrived. As a substitute, Starlight had no seat in the room, but she came to greet Li Yue!
For some reason, Starlight had returned to her former cheery and optimistic appearance. She left shortly after greeting Li Yue!
For the first time, Li Yue joined the meeting of the Seven as a member of the team.
However, no one was discussing how to save the world, how to ensure the safety of the people, or how to reduce the crime rate of the city!
Instead, they were discussing combating piracy and securing their income. Due to the rampant piracy of their movies, their income had been greatly reduced.
They were also discussing the kind of commercial advertisement that was the most profitable, the most attractive TV shows...
Li Yue didn't say a word during the meeting. He didn't know how to join their conversation: because Li Yue knew nothing about this kind of thing!
But Li Yue wasn't just sitting idly either. He unleashed his spiritual sixth sense at full power to carefully observe Homelander!
Li Yue had started small in the beginning, just probed a little here and there, afraid of being discovered. However, for some reason, Homelander didn't seem to have detected Li Yue's spiritual sixth sense. Was it true that Superman's magic resistance was negative?
When he found that Homelander couldn't detect his spiritual probes, Li Yue decided to be bold and carefully investigated Homelander at full strength. He also put his evolution ability in overdrive, continuously evolving himself.
Li Yue found that he had all of Homelander's abilities. Super body, super strength, X-ray vision, heat vision... He even had the ability to fly!
Li Yue should be happy, but then he discovered something else. He didn't know if there was a problem with the blue hand or if it was just the way it was supposed to work, but the power he copied was only about one-tenth of Homelander's power. Although, even that one-tenth was already enough to look down on most of the superheroes in the world.
But if he was facing Homelander, it would be like a child fighting an adult! Then again, he could always run...
Thus, Li Yue decided to stay on the Seven. It would be best if he could stay beside Homelander and evolve himself continuously!
"Alright, let's stop that talk here. We can't let the newcomer think we never talk about anything other than money! Let's continue it later and call it a day!"
Homelander announced the end of the meeting while smiling at Li Yue, who hadn't said a word since the meeting started.
Li Yue stood up and walked out of the meeting room. He had something to discuss with Madelyn!
