“Arrogant!”
None of the nine people in the arena expected that even though Derek knew they had formed an alliance, he would still dare to be this arrogant!
Therefore, the nine exchanged glances and stopped pretending, all surrounding Derek.
Originally, they planned to fake it for a bit, secretly targeting Derek during the match to get him eliminated first.
But now Derek provoked them again and tore off his face first, so their last layer of disguise was no longer necessary!
Seeing this, the whole audience broke into an uproar!
“What is going on in the arena? Why does it look like they’re starting to argue?”
“Idiot, isn’t it obvious? Clearly, someone is about to have bad luck!”
“Hahaha, that pretty boy looks like he’s about to be hit by a righteous gang beating!”
“Oh no, my little hunk, how can they treat him like this? I want to report them for rule violations!”
“Don’t be stupid, simping bitch. Vought said from the very beginning that it’s a no-rules competition, and they never said contestants are forbidden from teaming up!”
“That’s right, if you can’t even handle a one-v-many, how can you qualify to be one of the strongest Seven?”
…
After realizing what was going on, aside from a small number of female audience members attracted by Derek’s looks, most of the audience had no objections and instead became even more excited.
On the other hand, Madelyn at the high-platform commentary desk changed her expression and reached out to grab the microphone in front of her to stop the targeting of Derek in the arena.
After all, Derek was her favored person!
But before her hand could touch the microphone, it was snatched away first by a red glove.
Homelander played with the microphone in his hand and slowly said, “Madelyn, the rules of the competition were set long ago. You can’t ruin Vought’s fairness just because of some pretty boy. I believe if Stan Edgar knew about this, he wouldn’t agree either~”
Looking at Homelander’s playful and jealous expression, Madelyn knew that Homelander must have seen her previous chat with Derek and got jealous.
Her heart sank, but a smile appeared on her face: “That’s right, my baby, good thing you reminded me, I almost made a mistake. Then let the competition continue…”
Between Derek and Homelander, Madelyn chose Homelander without hesitation.
After all, although Derek’s Oscorp was huge, it was ultimately not Vought’s own power base.
And she was Vought’s person, so she definitely had to prioritize the emotions of Homelander, Vought’s greatest ‘asset’.
Therefore, Madelyn, who had briefly allied with Derek less than an hour ago, decisively abandoned her ally Derek just a short hour later…
Homelander smiled with satisfaction, muted the microphone, and said in a clear voice: “Ladies and gentlemen, and audience members of the other 97 genders, now let us enjoy the second competition!” This story is hosted at g.com.
“I am Homelander, and I declare the match officially started!”
As Homelander’s words echoed throughout the venue, all the spectators boiled over and cheered.
The nine contestants in the arena also wore ferocious smiles and activated their respective superpowers.
“Pretty boy, you really like spewing shit out of that mouth of yours, see if I don’t tear you apart today!”
“Calm down, don’t go too far, just teach him a lesson. This guy is the young master of Osborn!”
Among the nine, some had crazy eyes, while others maintained a certain degree of calm and restraint.
Watching the nine people still talking tough, Derek yawned and said impatiently:
“Stop dawdling, if you want to fight then fight, are you fucking pussies? I remember our group didn’t have any women? Or did your dicks blow up, forcing you to take guests from behind, resulting in gender confusion?”
The nine: ???
“Kid, you’re looking for death!”
As soon as these words came out, let alone the radicals among the nine, even the conservatives became radicalized.
After all, for a man, the most unbearable thing is being called a sissy!
And if there is anything even more unacceptable than being called a sissy, it is being called a woman directly!
“Don’t tear his mouth, pull his tongue out directly, and make this stinky mouth of his unable to speak forever!”
The conservative buddy who had just advised others to calm down now felt that the radical buddies were too conservative.
With a wave of his big hand, the nine people unleashed their respective abilities and rushed toward Derek together.
Although the nine were enraged, they hadn’t forgotten the powerful strength Derek displayed in the lounge earlier, so they didn’t dare to be careless in the slightest and went up together from the very beginning!
However, in front of absolute strength, numbers have always been just paper tigers!
And paper tigers just need a gentle touch to burn into ashes!
Facing the nine people attacking him from all directions at the same time, Derek didn’t even take a defensive stance; he just slightly raised one hand and made a snapping gesture.
Snap——————
Rumble——————
Along with the sound of the snap came a deafening roar of thunder!
Nine bolts of Purple Lightning descended from the sky, accurately striking the nine people who rushed toward Derek!
The nine didn’t even let out a grunt; they directly lay down on the spot amidst the Purple Lightning, with no movement left.
Along with the nine who stopped moving, the air in the stadium also froze. This story is hosted at g.com.
The eyes of nearly 100,000 spectators in the stands staring at the arena were widened to the maximum at this moment, and their open mouths seemed to be stuffed with a silencing sponge, unable to emit even a sliver of sound…
What the audience saw was…
Inst…
Instant killed?
9v1 was completely instant-killed?
Is this reasonable?
Is this scientific?
What?
You say this is a superpower showdown?
Fine, then never mind!
After the oppressive silence came the cheers released by the entire audience!
Now, not only the female audience members conquered by Derek’s looks screamed loudly, but those big guys screamed even louder than the female audience!
You might hate a pretty boy, but you will definitely never hate a hunk who is insanely strong and super manly!
And Derek right now, in their eyes, was precisely such an image!
This is definitely not a pretty boy, this is a real man!
A pure man!
“Derek! Derek! Derek!”
The voices of the entire audience converged into a single name at this moment, and that was Derek!
He was the absolute focus in the arena, the World’s most dazzling center!
The level of shock brought by Derek instantly killing nine people with lightning powers was far more capable of stimulating adrenaline than Black Noir’s victory punched out punch by punch!
Therefore, the cheers for Derek were also far beyond what Black Noir could compare to!
And Derek, located at the center of this wave, wasn’t startled at all by the cheers that almost shook the arena turf; instead, with an indifferent expression and a confident smile, he raised his hand and waved to the audience.
As if, in Derek’s eyes, the result was supposed to be this way, and there was nothing worth being surprised about~
“This… this is simply me!”
Even Homelander at the high-platform commentary desk couldn’t help but tremble slightly with excitement upon seeing this scene, his eyes full of burning heat!
