Therefore, Black Noir and the other two had no choice but to bite the bullet and charge at Homelander.
However, the difference was that the others put in all their effort to attack Homelander with everything they had.
As for Black Noir, he held back and was merely putting on an act.
He basically took one step forward and two steps back, using a freeloading tactic to stall for time.
Until the other two who had charged up were grabbed by the collars by Homelander, thrown into the night sky like shooting stars, fell down with broken legs, and passed out.
Only then did Black Noir hypocritically charge forward, only to be punched flying by Homelander, crashing backwards into the wall at the edge of the arena near the spectator stands!
This looked serious, and indeed, it was a heavy blow.
Given Black Noir’s recovery ability, he was fully capable of fighting again.
Yet he chose to tilt his neck and directly pretended to pass out.
Therefore, in less than a minute, only Homelander and Derek were left standing at the scene.
“Homelander! Homelander! Homelander!!!”
After Homelander showed his powerful strength of instantly taking down three champions, the cheers for Homelander instantly became even more enthusiastic and much more sincere!
This made Homelander secretly thrilled inside!
Fire burned within his heart, craving more voices!
And now there was only one way to get more cheers!
Homelander’s sharp gaze looked at Derek, a ferocious smile tearing at the corner of his mouth:
“You should have gone up with them just now, then you could have lasted a few more rounds at least. Now that you have no teammates, you don’t even have a chance to show off!”
Derek crossed his arms and tilted his head: “Kid, you don’t really think you’re that strong, do you?”
“I’ve seen plenty of giant babies like you who are only good at bullying the weak. The moment you hit a hard rock, you’ll immediately break your tender feet!”
Hearing this, Homelander’s face twitched with anger: “You sharp-tongued bastard, later I’ll make it so you can’t even beg for mercy!”
Boom——————
As the words fell, Homelander took a stride forward, stomping the turf beneath his feet into a large crater, and his entire body slammed toward Derek like a cannonball!
“Now this is interesting!”
The moment before Homelander was about to crash into him, he anticipated the move and twisted his body to dodge Homelander’s impact, reaching out to grab the American flag cape behind Homelander and pulling it fiercely downwards!
The flying Homelander instantly lost his balance because his cape was grabbed, and he was heavily slammed face-first into the ground, taking a big mouthful of turf!
“Pui!”
“I’m going to fucking tear you to pieces!”
Homelander spat out the turf in his mouth, his eyes glowing red with anger.
However, before the red light could shoot out from his eyes, a large foot enlarged right before his eyes!
Boom——————
Derek delivered a soccer kick, fiercely slamming his foot into Homelander’s face and directly interrupting his casting wind-up!
Kicking Homelander away like a football, he only stopped after plowing a long trace across the turf.
Homelander propped himself up with both hands, shook his head as he stood up, looking a bit dazed.
Especially when looking at the blood dripping from his nose onto his hands, a hint of fear flickered in Homelander’s blue eyes!
This was the first time someone had been able to cause him actual damage!
But shouldn’t I be invincible?
That’s what those people at Vought told him!
Then what is this supposed to be now?
Invincible in the world, enemies coming from heaven?
“Hey, baby bottle boy, were you beaten stupid by me? Do you want to cry, or do you want to go home to find mommy and drink some milk for comfort?”
Looking at Homelander, who was stunned in place, Derek subconsciously taunted.
In fact, Derek himself wasn’t someone who liked taunting others that much.
At least he wasn’t in his past life.
He didn’t know if it was because he inherited Soldier Boy’s genes in this life, but whenever he saw something he didn’t like, he always wanted to fight and taunt them, and never liked to exhaust himself internally.
Homelander snapped back to his senses at Derek’s voice and angrily looked at Derek: “I am not a baby bottle boy, I am Homelander!!!”
With an angry roar, Homelander thrust his hands forward, erupting with a speed even more terrifying than before, and headbutted straight toward Derek!
Just now he was still mindful that this was a friendly match, so he held back a little.
Now, in his anger, Homelander completely held nothing back, unleashing his supersonic flight at full force!
After all, the Soldier Boy physique he inherited didn’t include super reflexes.
Therefore, Derek was directly hit square in the chest by Homelander!
Homelander used one hand to fiercely press Derek’s back—who had crashed into his shoulder—against the turf, continuing to plow forward while raising his fist high to smash hard into Derek’s face, which was so handsome it made him jealous!
Homelander and Derek were actually quite similar; both had high flight speed, high strength, and high defense, but their physical movement speed was pretty average.
This was true for both of them, whether it was the attack speed of their fists or their physical movement speed.
This was also one of the drawbacks of Vought’s Compound V—the enhancement wasn’t comprehensive enough.
Unlike Superman, who was strong in every aspect!
Therefore, although Derek didn’t dodge Homelander’s flying impact, he reached out and accurately caught Homelander’s punch.
Moreover, in terms of strength, he was on par with Homelander, showing no signs of being suppressed by Homelander’s super strength at all!
This also made Homelander realize that being knocked flying and injured by Derek just now was no accident, but that Derek truly had this kind of strength!
Taking advantage of the moment Homelander was distracted, Derek gave a heavy stomp to his chest, kicking Homelander flying straight up into the sky!
He also finally stopped his own body, which had been plowing forward against the turf.
Derek climbed up from the ground, looked at Homelander who had also stopped in the sky, raised his head, and gave him the middle finger:
“Treating me like an ox plowing the lawn, kid, you’ve got guts. If I don’t beat you until you cry for your mommy today, I’ll take your last name!”
Finished speaking, Derek’s body erupted with dazzling Purple Electricity, and his entire body turned into a bolt of purple lightning, soaring straight up into the sky!
Homelander instinctively wanted to dodge, but possessing the same sluggish reflexes of Soldier Boy as Derek, before he could figure out which direction to dodge, he was branded in the face by Derek’s thunderous strike!
Because of the impact on his face, Homelander flew up by a large margin once again!
This caused all the spectators present to involuntarily raise their heads and gaze up at the night sky.
Vought also urgently dispatched a helicopter to conduct a live aerial broadcast!
Accidents could happen in the arena, but the live broadcast couldn’t stop.
Otherwise, if the audience couldn’t see the footage, wouldn’t Vought’s ratings revenue be cut off?
As for the battle between Homelander and Derek shifting from ground combat to aerial combat, the audience at the scene and those watching the live stream not only didn’t feel dissatisfied because of this, but became even more enthusiastic!
The audience in the stands roared even louder, as if fearing that the two flying high couldn’t hear their shouts.
The number of viewers in the live stream room was also rising rapidly, quickly surging to the broadcast channel with the highest online viewership nationwide!
