Or rather, as a reincarnated person who possesses a divine perspective at this moment…
At the same time, he had become the nominal and biological father of the other party.
Now, Benjamin felt that Homelander’s character was full of tragic nuances, even to some extent understandable…
From the moment he was born, John was deprived of the right to have a normal family.
His childhood…
no toys, no hugs from his parents.
Only the cold, sterile laboratories of Vought International.
Only endless blood extractions, electric shocks, and experiments in extremely high-temperature furnaces.
Those scientists in white coats never treated him as a human being.
They considered him simply the most perfect product called “Compound V.”
When he grew up…
Vought International gave him a hypocritical halo, allowing him to play the role of a virtuous savior in front of the cameras.
In the first half of the plot, Homelander was even willing to work tirelessly for Vought International, desperately trying to maintain the glory of “The Seven.”
To be honest.
If an ordinary person possessed Homelander’s power and lived through his childhood, they would almost certainly become an antisocial terrorist a hundred times crazier than him.
That Homelander managed to reach this point was already quite good.
Vought International personally turned Homelander into a twisted test subject who lacked love from childhood, and now they wanted him to become a beacon of heroism?
Use him to amass a fortune exorbitantly?
What a joke!
“Since I have become your father…” Benjamin thought to himself, “Homelander, that childhood you missed, I will personally make up for it.”
“There is no father who wouldn’t want to personally raise his son, and even pass on the hero’s halo…” Benjamin thought secretly.
Benjamin took a deep breath and focused back on reality.
Feeling the piercing cold enveloping him, a flash of intense red light gleamed in his eyes.
The top priority.
Get out of this damn ice prison!
“Buzz…!” As Benjamin concentrated his mind, a terrifying power that had lain dormant for nearly forty years began to awaken deep in his chest.
Soon, a dazzling light ignited in his chest, brightly illuminating the dim cryogenic sleeping capsule.
Outside the sleeping capsule, the needles of various alarm indicators instantly shot to the maximum, emitting loud buzzing sounds.
“Woo—!
Woo—!
Woo—!”
In the deepest part of the old secret Soviet military base, a piercing air raid siren suddenly resounded.
Rapidly flashing red lights continuously illuminated the laboratory.
Soon, squad after squad of heavily armed Russian soldiers, carrying automatic rifles, frantically gathered toward the central laboratory as if facing a formidable enemy.
“What the hell is going on?!” A commander with the rank of major burst into the control room, drenched in sweat, and grabbed an experimenter who was frantically typing at a keyboard by the neck.
“Sir, it’s…
it’s the cryogenic zone where Soldier Boy is being held.” The experimenter pointed at the energy values spiking on the screen, “That damn Soldier Boy, he…
he actually woke up!”
“How is that possible?!” The major violently pushed the experimenter away and roared: “This is an extreme cryogenic capsule built especially for him!
He’s slept here like a corpse for forty years!
How could he suddenly wake up without warning?”
However.
The facts were right before their eyes.
Outside the cryogenic capsule, a large number of Russian soldiers had already gathered behind several layers of steel fences.
Dozens of AK rifles were aimed at the module that was continuously emitting intense heat.
The face of every soldier reflected fear.
The one imprisoned inside was not just any Super.
That was the first and most powerful hero capable of tearing apart tanks half a century ago.
A monster who remained unscathed even after being riddled with AK bullets…
Inside the cryogenic capsule, the dazzling red light grew increasingly intense, like a miniature sun rapidly expanding.
The soldiers soon opened fire.
“Bang bang bang bang!”
The dense flashes of gunfire instantly illuminated the entire underground laboratory.
But it was already too late.
“Boom!!!” With a loud explosion, the nuclear shockwave erupted from the center of the cryogenic capsule!
Blinding streams of crimson high-energy particles spread outward.
The indestructible cryogenic capsule disintegrated instantly, and fragments of metal weighing several tons flew outward.
The terrifying explosion swept through everything in the laboratory like a destructive force…
The first to suffer the worst consequences were, naturally, the Russian soldiers surrounding the front line.
They didn’t even have time to scream before being annihilated by the nuclear energy.
Soon after, more Russian soldiers entered from outside the laboratory.
Through the dense smoke, a constant, powerful, and steady sound of footsteps could be heard.
“Step…
step…”
The smoke and dust gradually dissipated.
A tall, naked man walked out from among the flames with total indifference.
Benjamin indifferently tore off the deformed metal breathing mask he wore over his mouth and threw it to the ground like a biscuit.
He breathed heavily, observing everything around him.
“Mon…
monster…” The Russian soldiers collapsed and pulled their triggers one after another.
“Rat-a-tat-tat-tat!”
Dozens of rifle bullets flew out, striking Benjamin squarely in the chest and face.
However.
A desolate scene appeared.
The instant the bullets touched Benjamin’s skin, they fell harmlessly to the ground.
Benjamin looked down at the bullet casings on the floor, then looked up again, revealing a cruel smile.
…
…
Five minutes later, looking at the disaster and severed limbs scattered across the floor, Benjamin shook the blood off his hands with some disgust.
He walked over to a relatively intact corpse, crouched down to strip off a large green Russian military coat, and casually draped it over his sturdy body.
The wind and snow from outside the base poured in through the shattered opening, flapping the military coat with a fluttering sound.
Benjamin breathed in the air of freedom he hadn’t felt in forty years.
According to his deductions, The Boys hadn’t arrived yet, which meant the current plot must be taking place in the first or second season; he just didn’t know when…
or if Hughie Campbell’s girlfriend had been killed by A-Train.
If possible, he wanted to stop it.
He wanted to use this as a means to contact Vought International and Homelander.
If possible, he would save Hughie Campbell along the way.
In any case, he was also a superhero, and the first and most powerful one at that.
Benjamin planned that while doing good deeds, he would teach A-Train a lesson, and use this to educate all of The Seven, including Homelander…
If he could use this to clean up, or even take control and restructure the corrupt Vought International…
Benjamin wanted to turn Vought International into a real superhero company.
He shoved his hands into the pockets of the military coat and strode toward the exit of the base.
