Chapter 127 The end of an era When Levi flew back to the Water Building with two bodies in a dignified manner, one can imagine what kind of sensation it would cause. Not only all the employees of Water, but almost the whole of New York was excited. Even a large number of photos and videos appeared on the Internet, and everyone was spreading this information crazily. Soldier Boy, once the pride of Watt, was said to have died in battle many years ago. Homelander, Walter's pride now, many people even think he is the symbol of America. They all had countless brilliant halos around them, but now they died in the same way, on the same day! At the same time, some people have released a large amount of information, showing that the recent series of super villains were all led by Homelander behind the scenes. The crash of Transoceanic Flight 37 was actually caused by our own people. This isn't even a bombshell; it's like a nuclear bomb exploding on the Internet! Leaving Maeve to explain to Water and the others, Levi went straight to Edgar's office. Originally Edgar had asked him to come over to discuss matters concerning Vicky, but now it was a good opportunity to talk about both things at the same time.
When Edgar saw Levi walk in without knocking, he couldn't help but sigh, as if he had aged a lot in an instant. "Levi, it's really you." "I didn't expect you to be able to do this, and I didn't expect you to be so impatient. In fact, you don't have to use such extreme means to achieve your goal." Levi did not hide anything during the journey, and he might even have deliberately slowed down his flying speed so that more people would know about it. Therefore, he also learned the news in advance and made corresponding speculations. "Haha, I just think this is the simplest and most efficient way. So, what are your plans next?" He has already killed the two guys who posed the greatest threat. Even if he wants Walter to change his name, it will only be a matter of a thought. There is no need to conceal his true purpose. The reason I'm willing to sit down and chat is simply to save some energy. He is not Professor X, and he does not have a brain wave amplifier, so he cannot control everyone permanently. Similarly, neither Kate nor Psionic Storm can permanently affect a target, let alone guarantee that there will be no accidents, so naturally they have to recruit some minions to do the work. It is better to use both kindness and force so that everyone will willingly choose to cooperate based on comprehensive considerations such as their own interests. Edgar sighed again, he felt the strong confidence coming towards him. Add to that the two corpses, and he no longer had any choice. He felt that he could still barely suppress the people of his motherland, whom he had grown up with, because what the people of his motherland desired most was recognition and family affection. This is also the weakness that he and Walter deliberately cultivated. Through so many years of hard work, he has successfully bound Homelander and Walter together, and made him attach great importance to fans and public support. Secondly, it’s family affection. He suppresses the other party with his fatherly authority. There was originally a mother's love, but unfortunately Madeleine died. Fortunately, there are Homelander and Becca's son, who can barely make up for part of the damage. But as for Levi, he really didn't know where to start. A beautiful female superhero? With Levi's charm, he doesn't need her help at all.
Even Vicky, who is already married, seems to have some special ambiguity with him, even though they have only met a few times! The only consolation is probably that Levi is not as indifferent to the lives of ordinary people as his fellow countrymen, and he does not enjoy blood and killing. "Levi, I want to hear your opinion first." "It's simple. I want my countryman to be disgraced, and Walter to cut ties with him as much as possible, in order to save his reputation and stock price as much as possible." Edgar nodded silently. In fact, when so much evidence appeared on the Internet, he had issued such an order as soon as possible. "Also, I'm a little curious, after Vicky's success, what are you going to do next?" "Should we continue to expand the influence of the superheroes, or should we gradually restrict them and let Vought return to its essence as a pharmaceutical company?" Edgar's face suddenly darkened, and then he couldn't help but sigh: "It seems that the relationship between you and Vicky is closer than I expected." He never told any of the other board members, except Vicky, about his real purpose. According to his original idea, he would first establish a fait accompli, and then they would be forced to accept it whether they were willing or not. He didn't expect that Levi already knew it now. He now began to reconsider. If Levi was so interested in women, perhaps he could arrange more beautiful female superheroes for Levi? Levi possesses greater power than his native countrymen. It would be great if he could have offspring who could inherit some of his power. Levi did not comment: "I don't completely agree with your idea. Walter has finally developed to the current level. You can't just quit if you want to. There are too many interests involved." "If you dare to announce this in public, you will die of suicide by being shot ten times in the back the next day. Do you believe it?" To be honest, Levi didn't have any special feelings about this matter. Not to mention how much time it takes to train a superhero from a baby, and how random the superpowers obtained are. Walter has been working hard for more than half a century, but after counting, there are only about ten people who can be truly called powerful superheroes. More importantly, the superpowers in the Black Robe World are naturally capped, and Homelander is the ceiling. Now that he has reached this ceiling, it will be difficult for him to rely on the superheroes in the black robe world if he wants to go further. Of course, this doesn't stop Levi from scaring Edgar here. He wanted to see what this man, who always had a blank expression on his face and almost looked like he had facial paralysis, would look like when his defense broke. Edgar remained silent. He certainly knew the risks involved. Resistance comes not only from within Water, but also from states and counties across America. Every year, thousands of officials receive kickbacks from Walter in various ways, so he only told Vicky from beginning to end. "I just simply think that Water shouldn't be a large daycare center like it is now." "We are busy dealing with the death and trouble caused by spoiled and destructive babies every day." "They are totally unworthy of the title of Super Heroes." Levi nodded: "I agree with this." Then he changed the subject: "You should know what Samir is researching recently, right?" Edgar nodded, "Yes, there is a healing serum that may be effective on ordinary people. If it succeeds, the effect will be amazing."
Almost all superheroes have self-healing abilities to varying degrees, and a very small number of them can even regenerate severed limbs, but ordinary people cannot benefit from this at all. Once this healing serum is born, it may be a greater invention than Compound No. 5. "In that case, how about splitting Walter in two?" "One part is responsible for the daily affairs of Chaoying, and the other part is responsible for medicine. When Samir succeeds, you can change your part of Vought according to your ideas." Edgar pondered for a long time, and finally nodded slowly: "Okay, I will propose that you become the president of Walter at tomorrow's meeting, and I will convince others." Now he only has one last question left: how can he ensure that Levi will not become a new, stronger and smarter native of his country in the future? Levi could understand this, so he spoke at the right time: "As for my original purpose, I simply didn't want someone like him to stand above me. With him around, I would never be able to become the leader of the Seven." "I also don't want my friends to be threatened and bullied by people from my home country every day. This is actually a war of revenge." Hearing this, Edgar finally couldn't hold it anymore: "Is it because of Maeve?" He knew about the relationship between Levi and Starlight, Kate, and Firecracker. Even his beloved daughter, Vicky, seemed to have been raped by the other party, but it was not known how many times. But he never expected that Maeve, who had recently appeared frequently on the Internet as a lesbian and was recognized as the "Tiger Lady" within Water, was actually related to Levi. Could it be that Levi actually has a hidden superpower that can attract all women? But this can roughly explain why he is so popular among female superheroes. He is really willing to pay the cost. Perhaps this is what is called risking one's life for the woman one loves? Levi smiled and did not answer the question. "Now, I suddenly found that I seem to like the title of angel." "If I become a true angel, there will naturally be no conflict of interest between me and mortals." "If the believers are devout enough, they may even receive blessings from angels." Even though so many shocking things had happened today, Edgar couldn't help but feel his heart twitch when he heard these words. After taking several deep breaths, he said with a slight tremor: "If you want to become a true god on earth, it is indeed true." "Walter has tried twice. The first time was Soldier Boy, and the second time was Homelander. Naturally, the third time is possible. I will convince the others." Levi nodded with great satisfaction: "Very good, in this case, I might as well reveal a little more information to you." "Aren't you curious about where I got so much gold?" Ever since he said he would use 10 tons of gold as a political donation, Knight Tek was very smart not to conduct any relevant investigation, but Edgar took action quietly. He didn't think it was possible to find so much gold in the deep sea in such a short time. Vicky knew about Edgar's actions, so naturally, she couldn't hide it from Levi, who had close contact with her. Edgar, who had managed to calm down, nodded and said, "I am indeed very curious." In the world, the United States has the largest gold reserves, with a total of 8000 tons, but the Netherlands, which ranks tenth, has rapidly dropped to only 600 tons, and the rest are even less. The 10 tons that Levi took out were already more than the national gold reserves of many small countries. How could he not be curious! Levi still looked calm and composed: "Before Walter, there were superheroes with spatial abilities. Have you ever imagined that someone could travel to another world?" At the beginning, he wanted to proceed step by step and send out several teams first. He was even ready for the black woman - Faith and the Four Heavenly Kings.
But the appearance of Yali greatly accelerated his progress. The people from his homeland were dealt with in one go, and he didn't have to worry too much. Edgar stood up suddenly, his face full of surprise and doubt, which then quickly turned into ecstasy. Human beings have always been trying to explore new worlds that are suitable for human habitation or have abundant resources, but there have been no results. If Levi can really open up to a new world and is willing to share it with others to a certain extent, then he is a true angel and a true god on earth! "What is the environment like over there? Are there any humanoid intelligent creatures?" Levi smiled slightly: "To put it simply, it is a replica of the Earth. The level of technology is almost the same. There are even special beings with powers beyond those of ordinary people. They call them mutants." "The biggest difference is that there used to be millions of mutants there, and they were strongly hated by the government and the public, so after years of genetically modified food, they are now almost all extinct." Edgar tried to calm himself down: "In other words, our superheroes will have a hard time finding opponents there?" "Yes, and as long as they don't do anything stupid, they'll be able to make some progress soon." "Whether to conquer by force or to build a brand new Vought is entirely up to you." As for the identity issue, it is not that important. There are too many illegal immigrants in the United States every year. Levi was not very interested in that world, so he let Walter send people to be cannon fodder. Anyway, whether he succeeded or not, he would not lose much. Edgar took a deep breath and said, "I understand. I will tell others. As for the selection of candidates, Angel, do you have any suggestions?" Even though Levi has made it clear that he has traveled to that world more than once, it will still be a very dangerous action for Walter's superheroes. Likewise, this would also be a good opportunity to legitimately eliminate dissidents. Levi certainly knew this, in fact, he had already considered it in advance. "I do have a few options, Supersonic, Shockwave and Golden Boy, they are all pretty good." "You can add some think tank or logistics type superheroes. If they can successfully gain a foothold in that world, I think they are qualified to become the Seven!" Edgar couldn't help but twitch his lips. In terms of ability, they were indeed sufficient. Supersonic's abilities are strong strength and defense, and he can also send out shock waves by clapping his hands. The shock wave once competed with a locomotive in speed, reaching more than 300 meters per second at its peak. Jin Tong is currently the most outstanding student at Goda and was once regarded as the successor of his motherland. On the surface, the three of them cooperating with each other does have a high chance of success, but the prerequisite is that they can come back alive! Supersonic is Starlight's ex-boyfriend, Golden Boy has always coveted Kate, Shockwave had some conflicts with Locomotive before, and Levi is a good friend of Locomotive. How could he not know all these things? But in any case, Levi's suggestion was reasonable, and he didn't think he had the right to refuse or choose, because the "door" was in Levi's hands. If the deaths of Homelander and Soldier Boy meant the end of an era. The door to the new world opened by Levi means the beginning of a new era! Moreover, Levi's behavior also shows that he has weaknesses and he attaches great importance to emotions. This kind of weakness doesn't have to be exploited, but you can certainly cater to her needs. If Vicky is also involved. Although his mind was churning, Edgar remained calm on the surface. He nodded vigorously:
"I understand. I will work hard to promote this and let them publicize your glory in that new world!" (End of this chapter)
