What's wrong with Superman's brother wanting to be Homelander?

Chapter 46: The Abyss Gazes at You

The answer to Vickner was Lucas's crisp and indifferent third punch.

"Bang!"

The surging force instantly poured down like a tidal wave.

This punch was delivered without reservation.

Even if Viktor's body could transfer damage, it would still be difficult for it to directly withstand the impact of such a massive force in a short period of time.

After letting out an extremely angry roar, the opponent's hideous head exploded like a ripe watermelon.

There was no blood splattering; beneath the severed neck, only black vines twisted and writhed, rapidly retracting like venomous snakes.

During the seven years he was exiled in the abyss, these "sub-veins" had completely assimilated Vikner's body.

Unless the Mind Flayer's physical body is destroyed and the Hive Consciousness is dismantled, even if the physical body is destroyed, it can be reconstructed based on these sub-networks.

Of course, this does not mean that the physical body is unimportant to Viktor.

On the contrary, the physical body is very important to Viktor.

The physical body is the only physical anchor point through which Vekner is bound to the Abyss, locked to the Inverse, and connected to the human world.

Without a physical body, he can only appear in the spiritual world he creates.

His mental strength, telekinesis, and curse abilities all rely on this body for support and amplification.

Otherwise, the other party would not have chosen to force a revival.

If facing an ordinary person, even if he were to revive at the last moment, a berserk Vekner would be more than capable of killing anyone who dared to enter.

Unfortunately, he was facing a superhuman.

Or a superhuman with equally high magic resistance and physical resistance.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

As Vikner's core consciousness was violently destroyed, after nearly three seconds of deathly silence, the entire old mansion of Kriel suddenly began to shake violently.

at the same time,

The gray fog, located at the edge of the inverted world, began to pour wildly back towards this place.

"Is it all over?" Eleven stared in astonishment at the sudden anomaly around him, his expression somewhat dazed.

Everything that happened today, and everything she saw, was beyond her comprehension and overturned all her previous understanding.

Whether it's this mysterious young man who suddenly appeared and possesses terrifying strength, or the secrets he casually revealed... she needs a long time to process them.

Lucas did not respond to Eleven's question. After hesitating for two seconds, he suddenly looked up at the sky.

I don't know when,

Countless crimson cracks spread wildly outwards from the center of Vikner's corpse.

A bright red light burst forth from the crack, like turned-out flesh.

next moment.

A powerful suction force surged forth the moment the crack formed.

The floor, walls, ceiling, and even the ash floating in the air were all mercilessly swallowed up by these scarlet cracks at this moment.

Feeling a strong pulling sensation in her body, Eleven's expression changed drastically. She had just let out a cry of surprise when she felt her calf being firmly gripped by an incredibly strong and powerful hand.

A calm voice then appeared beside her ear. Although it sounded indifferent and calm, it had a reassuring power: "You might feel a little unwell in a while."

Before Shiyi could even process the meaning of those words, an unprecedented feeling of weightlessness and confusion suddenly overwhelmed her.

Suddenly, everything went black before her eyes.

After enduring an unknown period of extreme darkness and nothingness,

A dark red bolt of lightning suddenly tore through the thick black clouds high in the sky, illuminating the vast, dark brown world ahead.

Yellow sand stretches across the plains, crisscrossing ravines, and a giant black rock hangs silently in mid-air. A perpetual black mist shrouds the heavens and the earth, while dark red lightning lurks and rolls endlessly within the thick clouds.

The entire world was shrouded in an ancient, desolate, primitive, and mysterious silence.

It is so vast that you can't see the boundaries.

Eleven stared in horror at the scene before him, his heart filled with unprecedented fear and disbelief.

Her intuition told her that this was definitely not the upside-down world.

This place is essentially a completely independent world.

But her intuition told her that this place was definitely inextricably linked to the upside-down world.

"hiss……"

The next moment, Eleven suddenly felt as if he had inhaled molten iron into his lungs, and instinctively gasped for air.

It's air.

A pungent smell of sulfur filled the air, accompanied by a burning sensation.

Although it contains oxygen, it contains even more unidentified sulfides and turbid gases.

The human body simply cannot stay in such an environment for an extended period of time.

Only then did she belatedly realize why the mysterious young man had said he would feel a little unwell in a while.

I have to say, this burning sensation in the respiratory tract is really uncomfortable.

She instinctively looked at Lucas beside her.

The mysterious young man remained calm and composed, just as he had been at the beginning, completely unaffected.

Seeing the other person's calm expression, Eleven felt much more at ease.

"interesting."

Lucas surveyed this X-dimensional space with great interest.

The most eye-catching feature is the "big tree" in the very center that looks like it's upside down.

The branches twisted and bent wildly, stretching haphazardly towards the sky, their bare branches desolate and devoid of any greenery or vitality.

It is less like a tree and more like the appendage of some kind of multi-legged arthropod.

And beside a giant rock in the distance from "this tree," a ship that has been severely corroded is moored.

The ship's surface was covered in rust, and through [Divine Insight], Lucas vaguely saw the word "El".

At the same time, he clearly saw the grotesque faces protruding from the ship's deck and cabins, with limbs bared and claws outstretched, the flesh and texture strangely blending with the ship's material, as if they were born from the depths of the ship.

If I remember correctly, this should be the USS Eldridge used in the Philadelphia Experiment.

The experiment failed, and they were accidentally transported to this abyss. Except for Brenner, all the other crew members died on the ship.

I never expected that after destroying Vikna's body at the old mansion in Kriel, I would accidentally trigger the base point of the Inverse World and the X Dimension, and come to this Abyss World, which is the birthplace of the Mind Flayer.

Having witnessed it firsthand, Lucas had to admit that this abyssal world was even more mysterious than he had imagined.

Especially the shadow particles and strange matter at the core of this world.

Just like cells in the human body, they possess unimaginable plasticity, potential, and growth.

It can create inverted worlds, breed mind flayers, and cross dimensions to erode reality... Lucas thought it was a terrible waste that Vickner created a spider-like mind flayer.

"Do you know where this is?" Eleven, barely able to adjust to the burning sensation in her respiratory tract, felt the strangeness and wildness of this world more and more, and couldn't help but ask.

"You can think of it as an independent, otherworldly dimension, but I prefer to call it the Abyss."

In the distance, amidst the dense, murky clouds, dark red lightning flashed intermittently. As Lucas spoke silently, he strode quickly toward the upside-down "dead tree."
