Chapter 235 - he Unraveling of the Hero's Mask

Meanwhile, Jason remained hidden in the corner, his eyes fixed on Homelander's battle with the creature. He carefully watched for the right moment, and as Homelander launched an attack, Jason decisively pressed the remote control button!

The energy disruption device instantly emitted high-frequency waves, like an invisible water blast that collided with Homelander's chest. Caught off guard by the sudden impact, Homelander was flung backward, crashing into the stone wall with a loud "bang."

The wall cracked, spiderweb-like fissures spreading across the surface.

Embedded in the wall, Homelander stared in disbelief at the creature before him, rage flooding his eyes. "How dare you—"

The creature muttered something unintelligible, its words garbled, but no one could understand. It crawled toward Homelander once again.

Enraged, Homelander slowly flew out of the wall, hovering in the air. He controlled his expression, still exuding false confidence as he spoke, "You've really pissed me off now. I warned you—don't take another step forward."

As he said this, he turned his face toward the tourists, trying to flash them his "brilliant Anglo-Saxon blue eyes" and a "quintessentially American confident smile." But in this situation, his perfection seemed eerily out of place, almost unsettling.

The creature, apparently not understanding his words, flailed its limbs and launched another attack on Homelander.

With a sinister smirk, Homelander clenched his fists and darted toward the creature like a human missile!

At the same time, Jason pressed another button on the remote—

Another energy disruption device activated, releasing a magnetic interference field. An invisible force field opened in the passageway, solidly blocking Homelander's attack!

Homelander slammed into the force field as if hitting a steel plate, violently rebounding off. The unexpected impact threw him off balance, and he tumbled down the escalator, crashing down several steps before he managed to grab onto a handrail to steady himself.

His face contorted in fury. The mask of perfection shattered, revealing his bloodshot, enraged eyes as he growled, "You—I'm going to kill you, I'll kill you—"

Thick, blood-red heat beams fired from his eyes, surging forward like a flood of fire, lighting up the passage in a crimson blaze. The creature quickly dodged, moving like a nimble spider, darting around the corridor to evade the scorching rays.

Homelander, now consumed by blind rage, tore off entire sections of the metal staircase and hurled them toward the creature. His reckless actions sent the remaining tourists tumbling to the ground like pieces in a game of Tetris.

Soren struggled to crawl out from the mass of people. The glowing dots on his Edman alloy bracelet remained dutifully lit.

"This isn't good; he's actually lost his mind," Soren muttered.

Jason's heart sank as he realized things were going south. Without hesitation, he pressed two more buttons. The two remaining disruptors emitted ultrasonic waves, converging their frequencies to a single point. The piercing soundwaves shot through the narrow passage like invisible spikes, stabbing into Homelander's eardrums.

Unlike the previous devices, which had struck instantly, the continuous barrage of ultrasonic waves caused Homelander to clutch his ears in agony. He howled in pain for a moment but soon managed to lift his head, his bloodshot eyes searching for the source of the sound.

With a sweep of his heat vision, Homelander obliterated the last two ultrasonic disruptors, reducing them to smoking wreckage.

"I'm going to break your neck, crush your skull, and drain you dry," Homelander growled through gritted teeth, his voice low and filled with menace as he glared at the creature.

The creature, clearly rattled by these words, glanced nervously over its shoulder, retreating as Homelander closed in. Just as Homelander's fist was about to strike, the creature suddenly shouted in English, "You can't kill me!! The contract says I only have to cooperate with you! You're breaking contract law!"

—"It," it turned out, was a living, breathing human who spoke fluent English.

Everyone who had witnessed the scene stared in disbelief, their eyes wide with shock as they looked at the creature.

Its body began to crack and pop audibly as its distorted bones shifted and realigned. The head, which had been rotating a full 360 degrees, and its spine, which had twisted unnaturally, snapped back into place. The limbs, once bent like matchsticks jabbed haphazardly into a potato, straightened out. Before the eyes of the astonished tourists, the monstrous figure morphed back into a human being, like some twisted magic trick.

Homelander froze, his entire body stiff as a statue.

His expression contorted with fury and disbelief as he slowly turned his head, inch by inch, to look at the remaining tourists still trapped in the passage.

The tourists, who had been cowering in fear, were now wide-eyed with panic. They had just heard something they absolutely should not have.

Homelander's terrifying expression was enough to make them avert their eyes, terrified to make direct eye contact with him. They bowed their heads, trembling, desperate to avoid his gaze.

Homelander's very hair seemed to be trembling with rage. He turned around to Ash, now in his human form, and screamed in fury, "Fuck, fuck, fuck! You're slandering me! I'll kill you—I'll kill all of you—"

Whirling back around, he cast a murderous gaze on the terrified tourists huddled in the corner.

They had heard too much—far too much. In that moment, Homelander knew he had to kill every last person here to ensure no word of this ever got out.

His eyes gleamed with malice as he scanned each tourist, one by one, his cold, venomous stare creeping over them like the flicking tongue of a poisonous snake, brushing against their skin.

—His intent to kill solidified, raw and unmasked, no longer hidden in the slightest.

Homelander's scarlet eyes glowed like a demon's gaze, brimming with murderous rage. Heat vision tore through the air, aimed directly at the crowd!

In that split second.

Soren activated the defense shield on his alloy bracelet, raising his hand to block the first wave of the heat vision attack.
