"Urgh, aaaah!"

The Speed Force exploded inside A-Train’s body, beginning to rampage wildly and alter his physical condition, causing A-Train to go into shock on the spot and pass out completely.

With a flick of Lucas’s fingertip, he used the power of time to catalyze A-Train’s transformation.

Within a few seconds.

He completely digested this power.

A-Train abruptly opened his eyes.

Before he could figure out the situation, he subconsciously wanted to step forward, resulting in a loud bang!

His entire body, like a streak of blue lightning, directly crashed into the half-meter-thick wall of the office, blasting out a huge human-shaped hole!

"Fuck! What... what is going on with me?!" A-Train looked at his own hands.

His body was vibrating spontaneously, and his speed was countless times faster than before; if he were to run like this, even ten hearts wouldn’t be enough to burn.

Lucas smiled and said, "Don’t panic, the compound flaws in your body have been completely eliminated."

"I used my own power to increase your speed by dozens of times, reaching nearly a hundred times Supersonic. Your reflex nerves and bone reinforcement have also been elevated to the corresponding levels."

"As long as you undergo systematic training, you will never experience a situation where you can’t brake in time and crash someone to death."

Lucas lightly touched his temple with his fingers, packaging a large amount of development regarding Speedster moves—such as molecular phase-shifting, projecting lightning, creating afterimages, and temporal illusions—all bundled together and injected into A-Train’s mind.

This knowledge was simply like the methods of a deity.

A-Train almost dropped to his knees.

"Guardian... I will not let down your expectations!"

"Mn."

Lucas nodded. "Go down, familiarize yourself with your abilities, remember your mission, in my name!"

A-Train placed his hand on his chest and responded loudly.

"In my name!"

Fortunately.

This guy didn’t give a forty-five-degree raised-hand salute.

Afterwards, Lucas resumed his regular routine of communicating every night, though Starlight said he seemed a bit different, appearing more steady and reliable.

Maeve perceived the change in temperament the most clearly.

She seemed to really like Lucas like this, completely transforming from a fierce tigress into someone gentle as a winding ribbon.

Lucas was not stingy in modifying the four women, at least extending their lifespans to dozens of times longer than before.

Two years flashed by in an instant.

During these two years, following Lucas’s strategy, Homelander actually held a high-profile wedding of the century with Becca, officially establishing his new family and becoming a husband and a father.

This marriage news stirred up monstrous waves in society.

Homelander’s popularity immediately split, but his overall prestige instead skyrocketed to a historical high, because the orthodox white woman he married made Ryan a proper blonde with white skin.

America’s standard model child.

Not to mention, Ryan also inherited Homelander’s various abilities.

Homelander did not deliberately cater to extreme political correctness and whole-group topics, which made the old white demographic occupying the social mainstream feel very pleasing to the eye and satisfied.

True to the saying, one takes on the color of one’s company.

Having spent a long time with the Guardian, Homelander had also become much more normal.

But this was not without its drawbacks.

A small minority of ethnic minorities still openly attacked him online, and even made all sorts of insulting memes of Homelander.

"Fuck! These damn guys!"

"Guardian, did you see this? The people who make these memes, they should be sentenced!"

"Throw them all into concentration camps!"

After Homelander finished speaking, Lucas couldn’t help but glance at him.

Why did it feel like there was something extra right under this guy’s philtrum?

"Oh my, aren’t they just a few memes? You’re going to kill them over that, isn’t that making a bit too much of a fuss?!" Lucas didn’t care at all.

You know, a certain brother from the East who could found a sect endured all kinds of memes, going from a duration of two and a half years to becoming a sect master sought after by the entire internet.

When it comes to internet traffic, infamy is also fame.

"I don’t care, them discriminating against me marrying Becca, how is that not a form of racial knight?" Homelander made a shocking statement.

"Holy shit! What you said makes so much sense!"

Lucas clapped his hands.

Following that, he supported his chin and said, "However, the fact that the other party would rather use the identity of an ethnic minority and ordinary person to find a way to bully you, Homelander, shows that these people aren’t afraid of you. You should be happy about that!"

Homelander stood by the window, turned back, with an expression of resentment in his eyes, "Guardian, sometimes I suspect that your understanding of me is utterly dead wrong. Do I look like a masochist?"

"Uh, aren’t you?"

Lucas scratched his head.

Soldier Boy laughed out loud like a pig on the side, but he was still quite happy, at least able to see Homelander get married, start a family and establish a career, and he could also personally train his grandson himself.

Through his own personal training, Ryan would definitely be a tough guy in the future, rather than being like Homelander—who, although strong, was like a fucking giant baby!

"Anyway, I’m going to make Ashley come up with a good PR plan to crush all these people to death, even if it’s just on the internet!" Homelander said.

Lucas couldn’t be said to agree, nor could he be said to refuse.

America’s social problems have always been driven by capital behind the scenes; things like political correctness, this fist and that fist, fundamentally still shift social contradictions, making the public consume themselves so that no one criticizes the system or the capitalists.

If Homelander focuses his fire on that gang!

Tsk tsk!

It might be even more interesting.

"Speaking of which, I thought Butcher would pull off some big stunt at my wedding, but I didn’t expect him not to show up at all. What a pity!" Homelander switched topics again.

"This shows he’s not a man, and you, my son, you’re only doing this one thing like a man—snatching someone else’s wife... Tsk tsk!" Soldier Boy recalled his own past.

Remembering back then, the tears wouldn’t dry...

He was a complete failure in this regard.

But Homelander was stronger than him.

Lucas shook his head; how could Butcher have no reaction? It was just that with a snap of his fingers, Lucas had sent him to the other side of the World, and by the time Butcher managed to find a way back, Becca had already married another man.

He felt that an invisible big hand was manipulating everything about him.

Lucas radiated his mind outward to search for Butcher’s traces; Butcher definitely wouldn’t let the matter rest, as Becca was the last bit of gentleness deep in his heart, and if even Becca left him, then Butcher would completely transform into an anti-social element.

Sure enough.

Lucas detected that this guy used extreme methods to kidnap Victoria Neuman’s fiancé, and was using his fiancée’s and daughter’s names to force the other party to research a super virus capable of completely destroying the Compound V structure and annihilating all Meta-humans.

Hughie was trying to persuade Butcher, but Butcher could no longer listen to reason.

All Meta-humans deserved to die!

"Yo ho, we’ve finally entered the second half of the plot!" Lucas grinned.

Nowadays, the people around him—Starlight, Maeve, Cate Dunlap, Jordan, and even Ashley—had all received new enhancements with effects even more powerful than the original Compound V, and they weren’t afraid of virus attacks at all.

Soldier Boy was a first-generation Compound V test subject and was naturally immune to the virus as well.

A-Train had become a Speedster, so the virus couldn’t kill him.

Throughout Vought, the only one who would truly be killed was Homelander alone.

Lucas would give him a decent exit, and then let Old Man Huang go help Homelander conquer the World.
