This mysterious ‘ninja’ hero, who had been active in Vought since World War II, carried a body full of injuries and defeated the other nine Superhumans!
Even A-Train, whose lightning-fast performance was so dazzling that it won wave after wave of cheers from the audience, was ultimately trampled under Black Noir’s feet.
Throughout the match, aside from his extraordinary strength and combat skills, Black Noir never once displayed the cool superpowers of the other contestants from start to finish.
He defeated everyone in the most unpretentious way possible!
[The one who stood until the end in the first match is Black Noir, who has been executing the duties of a superhero since the World War II hero team Payback!]
[Now let us give him all our applause, shall we?]
Accompanied by Madelyn’s emotionally charged words on the big screen, nearly one hundred thousand people in the stadium cheered Black Noir’s name together.
In the arena, Black Noir did not show any particularly happy emotions toward this scene that attracted the attention of thousands.
Or rather, Black Noir remained as cold and detached as an asexual person from start to finish.
This stemmed from his past experiences and was also the persona Vought arranged for him.
On the other hand, Homelander, sitting on the high platform and watching Black Noir whose name was being cheered by the audience, was almost so excited that he was about to piss himself.
Because he had already imagined the spot where Black Noir stood as his own.
Imagining that he himself was the person standing at the center of the stadium’s cheers.
Homelander’s eyes burned with heat, he swallowed past his dry throat, and turned his head toward Madelyn:
“Madelyn, I suddenly feel that the act of directly appointing me as Captain of The Seven is quite bad. How about you arrange a match for me too!”
How could Madelyn beside him not know Homelander’s thoughts?
She rolled her eyes imperceptibly.
But when she turned her head to look at Homelander, her face already wore an expression of pampering adoration:
“Oh, my darling, I know you crave fair competition and don’t want to engage in individual heroism, but your strength has never been in doubt. You don’t need the screening that inferior products require; you were born to be the best, destined to be the Captain of The Seven!”
It must be said that, being chosen by Vought to use emotions to keep Homelander in check, Madelyn truly understood Homelander’s inner thoughts completely.
Although she rejected Homelander’s request, she left Homelander unable to voice the slightest dissatisfaction; instead, his heart felt very pleased with her words.
Homelander’s face held unconcealed complacency: “That’s true too. I am the strongest, and I don’t need the selection of inferior products!”
However, Homelander was still a bit unwilling to give up and asked in another way: “Then when did Black Noir say I need to go down to show off my strength?” New chapters come out on novelping.com first.
Originally, before coming to the stadium, Homelander, who had never seen so many people before, was somewhat socially anxious.
But after being recognized by the audience in the lounge earlier and surrounded by excited cheers, he felt as if a door to a new World had been opened for him!
Now he was not only no longer socially anxious, but even wanted to gain the attention of more people!
This time Madelyn did not refuse again, but nodded: “Today, after the five matches end, you will have a friendly match with the five champions, scheduled at eight o’clock tonight during the highest-rated time slot!”
Hearing this, Homelander was so happy he practically sprung to his feet.
That meant his performance tonight would be seen by people nationwide, or even globally?
Just thinking about this already made Homelander so excited he was about to jump up!
Right now, he wished he could fly like Superman in the comics, accelerate Earth’s time, and hurry to eight o’clock tonight!
“Calm down, darling, now let us start the next match first, shall we?” Madelyn smiled upon seeing that Homelander had been coaxed by her.
“Okay, okay, then hurry up and start!” Homelander originally wanted the match to end quickly, so naturally he wouldn’t disagree.
At this moment, in the stadium arena, the previous group of participating Superhumans had already left the stage, and the staff had finished simple repairs to the arena.
Seeing this, Madelyn pressed the mute button of the microphone, making her voice appear in the stadium once again.
[Thank you for waiting, dear audience and friends. The brief intermission is over. I believe that because of the previous exciting match, everyone has taken the time to use the restroom, so let us now welcome the second team of participating Superhumans members in our best state!]
And the first to take the stage was naturally our Contestant No.
11, Derek!
Derek’s brief information also appeared on Vought’s big screen.
[Name: Derek]
[Hero Codename: None]
[Height: 190 cm]
[Ability: Lightning Stromfront]
As soon as Derek appeared, he attracted the attention of the whole audience.
All the audience were shocked by his appearance.
The sound of cheering for his name rang out, and for the first time, women’s voices drowned out men’s voices.
Anyone who didn’t know better would think the stadium was hosting some idol’s concert.
However, there was no lack of male voices shouting wildly either.
For instance, Harry and Peter, sitting in the front row of the family seating area, had already stood up with excitement, cupping their hands around their mouths and shouting Derek’s name at the top of their lungs. Follow the newest chapters on g.com.
While shouting, Harry also bragged to the people next to him: “Hey! Look quickly, that’s my older brother, and he’s a superhero!”
Everyone else in the family seating area rolled their eyes at Harry collectively.
Wow, he turns out to be your brother, and your brother turns out to be a superhero.
That is so amazing, right?
Hehe!
Amazing my foot!
Who the hell sitting here isn’t a superhero’s family member!
What the hell are you even bragging about!
Peter was still relatively calm.
Noticing the disdain in these people’s eyes, he quickly pulled Harry back down to sit.
“Harry, Harry, stop talking. The people here are all family members of participating Superhumans, and their relatives are all superheroes on stage…”
Hearing this, Harry thought about it and realized it was true, and couldn’t help feeling a bit awkward.
However, he immediately stubbornly retorted: “That’s different. My brother is a superhero destined to join The Seven, one of The Seven most powerful superheroes in the World. Their relatives are just ordinary superheroes!”
Surrounding family members: ???
At this, they all cast unkind glances at Harry.
Even Peter, who hadn’t acquired spider powers yet at this moment, could already feel the prickly gazes coming from around him!
Covering Harry’s mouth with a tearful expression, he said: “Harry, for the sake of our lives, please say a few less words. Derek is a superhero, but we certainly aren’t…”
In the stands, Harry and Peter enjoyed the glare of everyone in the family seating area.
In the arena, Derek was also enjoying the hostile gazes of the other nine Superhumans in his group.
Apparently, the other nine people in the second group had formed a temporary team because of Derek’s previous taunting behavior in the lounge, deciding to take Derek down first!
In response, Derek directly raised a middle finger at them and said disdainfully: “No matter how much dog shit gathers together, it’s still shit, at most evolving into a slightly larger piece of cow shit!”
“So you bunch of shits, come at me together, so you can die neatly as shit too!”
