Starting in The Boys to Become the Ultimate Lifeform.

229. Chapter 229: Warning! The Corpse Left Inside the House!

Just like Homelander's super physique, while it's a top-tier ability in The Boys World, when placed in DC, it's far inferior to Superman's steel body.

"The more psychic power the player controls, the heavier the mental load on the player's brain." Regarding this, Xia Shang stated that his brain, as long as he wanted, could be used as a disposable item, completely without worrying about the so-called burden. Unless he was in a limit state, simultaneously detonating five of his brains to unleash the strongest psychic power, this restriction was practically non-existent for him.

Moreover, he had fused with Muzan's Self-Division. As long as a piece of flesh the size of a thumb survived, he could revive again.

"You should die." Xia Shang's heart began beating at a high frequency! At first, it was one! But soon, a second heart also began roaring like an engine! Bang! Bang!!!

The sudden commotion alerted Cindy. She subconsciously looked towards Xia Shang's chest.

Bang! Bang bang bang!! As his heart beat at high frequency, two streams of thick white steam, like swimming dragons, overflowed from Xia Shang's mouth. His physique also expanded at a speed visible to the naked eye, his muscle lines, forged like steel, exposed to the air. His eyes turned red as he looked at Cindy, grinning sinisterly, "Mr. Stan Edgar, do you think there's a possibility that I am the strongest Supe?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xia Shang's afterimages appeared all around Cindy.

Afterimages are also known as visual afterimages. The fact that Cindy could see Xia Shang's afterimages indicated that her eyeballs' capture speed couldn't keep up with Xia Shang's movement speed.

"Mr. Stan Edgar, what do you think?"

When Xia Shang reappeared in his original spot, a button lay clearly in his palm.

Xia Shang looked at the button in his palm from a condescending angle. His contemptuous expression was fully exposed on Mr. Stan Edgar's computer screen. The next second, the screen instantly went black.

Bang! The button was directly crushed by Xia Shang.

"I can help you deal with Vought." Cindy tried to stall him, because his movement speed was simply too fast, and her psychic power had difficulty keeping up.

Seeing that Xia Shang seemed to be thinking, Cindy didn't hesitate to use psychic power to shovel up the mud from the ground and hurl it at him.

At the same time, she spread her hands, and cracks appeared on the building wall behind her. "Go to hell."

In an instant! Countless brick and stone, rebar, and other hard objects poured towards Xia Shang, as if to bury him completely.

"Don't misunderstand, I was just considering how to kill you." Xia Shang's figure instantly vanished from his original spot, and when he reappeared.

Cindy's pupils reflected Xia Shang's right hand. She had no time to react before Xia Shang's right hand covered her entire mask. As the mask was violently crushed, several hard and sharp tentacles drilled out from Xia Shang's palm, piercing Cindy's eyeballs like sharp arrows. Immediately after, the tentacles wildly churned inside her head.

When Xia Shang released Cindy's face, Cindy collapsed as if her spine had been removed. Her facial features were bloody and blurred, with a continuous flow of viscous liquid pouring out, looking extremely horrifying.

"Your ability is good, but now it belongs to me." He picked up Cindy's corpse and walked Down the Mountain. As he walked, a very thin layer of flesh and blood gradually spread from his fingertips to Cindy's whole body. And as the flesh and blood spread, Cindy's body gradually became invisible until it completely disappeared.

By the time Homelander and the others arrived.

All they saw was a mess, like a battlefield that had been bombarded by artillery shells. However, they did not find the corpse of Pure White Witch. Homelander, who was a step too late, looked at the ground in front of him with a livid complexion, not saying a word, terrifyingly silent.

"What astonishing destructive power." Stormfront came to a bloodstain. She squatted down and observed it carefully, quickly reaching a conclusion: "Pure White Witch is dead. The brain matter on the ground is hers. The opponent must have delivered a fatal blow. Pure White Witch didn't even have time to react."

In the evening. Hughie, who had just gotten off work, carried a black briefcase to his doorstep and prepared to take out his key to open the door.

Just then, he smelled a faint smell of blood.

"Something's wrong!"

Hughie quickly opened the door with his key.

Since the Homelander Incident, he had moved to a new Residence, and he lived alone. As for Billy and the others, they had moved back to the Basement.

The moment the door was pushed open, a strong foul smell assaulted him. Looking at the corpse inside the house with its extremely gruesome death, Hughie couldn't help but vomit the food in his stomach until he was even throwing up stomach acid, only then did he slightly recover.

Hughie forced himself to walk to the corpse, terrified of seeing a familiar face.

"This... this is..." After seeing the corpse's face, Hughie was so scared that he fell onto the floor, his entire face instantly turning deathly pale, even his lips lost their blood color.

"Pure White Witch, Cindy." Even if he had forgotten who Cindy was, the distinctive battle robe on her body indicated her identity.

"Wait, there seems to be a piece of paper on her body." Hughie bravely leaned closer again. On a white paper on the corpse's chest, a single word was written in blood: Warning!

What did that mean? Who was trying to warn him?

Suddenly, Hughie felt a chill run down his spine. He quickly pulled out his phone and contacted Billy, Frenchie, and the others. On the phone, he tried to describe what had just happened in the most concise way possible. Although he wanted to remain calm, his voice was still stuttering and trembling uncontrollably.

Half an hour later.

Starlight and the others, after simple disguise, walked into Hughie's house.

When they saw the corpse on the floor, except for Billy, the others reacted similarly to Hughie.

"Shit! Who did this? Vought?" Frenchie's complexion was quite grim. He felt that the corpse's death looked somewhat familiar.

"Impossible. Homelander and the others have no reason to kill Pure White Witch, and Mr. Stan Edgar would never allow them to do that."

Mother's Milk, who was formerly a military medic, forced himself to endure the discomfort and roughly examined the corpse.

"The corpse is relatively intact. It looks like her brain was minced by something."

"That's truly insane." Fear still lingered on Hughie's face.

"The Mysterious Person did it."

Unexpectedly, Billy, who was standing nearby, suddenly spoke.

Billy? Hughie looked at Billy in astonishment. The Billy standing before him now had no trace of alcohol smell on him, and his gaze was sharp, completely different from his previous self. "How... how do you know?"

Billy squatted in front of the corpse, looking at the Warning written in blood on the paper, and said calmly, "Because her cause of death is exactly the same as Translucent's."
