The Boys: Ultimate Multiversal Lifeform

"The mysterious man? Did we offend him?" Hughie frowned, completely unable to figure it out. He had been talking fine with the mysterious man before. There was no reason for him to suddenly turn hostile. Something unknown must have happened.

"It's me."

Butcher stood up, took out a recorder from his pocket, and pressed the cap in front of Hughie and the others.

Listening to the recording, Hughie was in disbelief.

He looked at Butcher, then said in shock, "What the fuck? You actually used Compound V for human experiments! Are you crazy? What's the difference between what you're doing and Vought Group? Only they would do something this insane!"

In an instant Kimiko's gaze toward Butcher underwent a complete change. The original trust vanished in a flash, replaced by vigilance and killing intent.

"Calm down." Although Frenchie also found it unbelievable, he still pressed down on Kimiko's right shoulder with an ugly expression, telling her not to act impulsively.

Without Frenchie's restraint, Kimiko would definitely charge forward and tear Butcher apart alive!

That painful and tormenting period in the past left her with extremely deep psychological trauma. So when she heard that Butcher was also conducting human experiments, she nearly couldn't suppress the killing intent in her heart and directly pounced on Butcher to tear out his throat!

"They were a bunch of incurable junkies. Leaving them in the world would eventually be a disaster." Butcher's voice had not a single emotional fluctuation, as if he was a cold machine.

"Heh heh. May I ask if you're Jesus or the Virgin Mary? What right do you have to decide other people's lives?"

Hughie let out successive cold laughs.

Butcher only glanced at him and didn't refute.

"Continue. Why did the mysterious man warn us?" Frenchie forced down his anger and walked in front of Butcher.

"Because I sent the recording to Edgar." Butcher slowly put away the recorder, at the same time picked up his phone and took a few photos of the corpse.

"God! You really are crazy."

Hughie messed his hair into a bird's nest. His entire body language became agitated.

He really didn't understand why Butcher did this, why he betrayed his own ally. Although the mysterious man never clearly expressed wanting to join The Boys, Hughie always believed the mysterious man leaned more toward their side.

If he hadn't helped, Hughie never would have been able to rescue Kimiko and the others who were locked in prison.

On the other side Mother's Milk thoughtfully said, "You wanted Edgar to send Homelander to capture the mysterious man, let them both suffer heavy losses, so you could sit back and reap the benefits?"

As an old comrade who had spent many years with Butcher, he understood Butcher's personality extremely well.

"As a result Edgar didn't send Homelander, but chose Pure White Witch instead. However, because the strength gap between Pure White Witch and the mysterious man was too large, she was directly taken out by the mysterious man, causing your plan to fail. Then in order to warn you, the mysterious man threw Pure White Witch's corpse over to Hughie's place."

"Basically correct." Butcher nodded, then continued, "But I need to add one point. The plan didn't fail. As long as Edgar knows about the existence of the mysterious man, that's enough. Facing a potential threat, he will definitely spare no effort to search for any traces related to the mysterious man. When that time comes, the mysterious man will have no choice but to stand on our side and fight Vought together with us."

"Your method is too risky."

Mother's Milk shook his head.

In his view Butcher's behavior was simply reckless to the extreme. One mistake could bury all of their lives.

Pure White Witch's end was a ready-made lesson.

"Risky?" A trace of madness appeared in Butcher's eyes.

"As long as it can break the current situation, what's wrong with being a bit more risky? I guarantee that in our next operation Vought Group will absolutely not interfere."

"What operation?" Starlight asked.

"Find Soldier Boy and make the situation even more chaotic." At this moment Butcher's phone suddenly rang. He scanned the people around him and pressed the speaker button.

"It's me, Edgar." The Edgar on the other end of the phone paused for a moment. "I've already seen the photos you just sent. I need to know more about the mysterious man."

"Agree to three conditions of mine and I'll tell you everything I know." Butcher said.

"Speak."

Edgar answered without hesitation.

Compared to three conditions, he wanted more to know about the mysterious man. The suddenly appearing mysterious man made him feel faintly uneasy.

"One, let Starlight return to Vought and make her the captain of The Seven."

The reason Butcher proposed this request wasn't to help Starlight. This was only the first step of his revenge against Homelander. First, let Homelander experience what it feels like to lose your captaincy and authority. He wanted to see whether Homelander, after losing the captain title, could still be as proud as before.

Killing Homelander was only his goal. Butcher wanted more to let Homelander experience the feeling of gradually losing everything.

The other end of the phone fell into silence.

After a long time Edgar's voice sounded again.

"No problem."

"Good." Butcher spoke his second condition.

"I want to know everything about Soldier Boy, including his powers and whether he is still alive."

Butcher's question made Edgar a bit surprised. The name Soldier Boy hadn't appeared in his mind for a long time. If Butcher hadn't brought it up, he would have almost forgotten.

"How do you know about Soldier Boy?"

"I only need you to answer my question."

"Regarding Soldier Boy you should ask Mallory. At the time she was the one responsible for leading Payback into the war. After the war ended Soldier Boy disappeared as if he evaporated from the human world. As for whether he's dead or alive I also don't know. But I can tell you his powers."

Edgar logged into Vought's intranet and found Soldier Boy's information.

"His powers are similar to Homelander's, but he doesn't possess radiation eyes or flight ability. Actually he's more like Queen Maeve, mainly physical enhancement."

"You sure?" Butcher even suspected the other party was deceiving him, because from the sound of it Soldier Boy was a bit too weak. Feels completely not Homelander's opponent. Could it be that the supe stronger than Homelander that the mysterious man spoke of isn't referring to Soldier Boy, but someone else?

But why does the mysterious man want him to find Soldier Boy?

"Allow me to ask you one more question. Is Homelander the strongest supe."

"Of course." Edgar didn't understand why the other party would ask this. After all Homelander is the most perfect product since the birth of Compound V. His strength is beyond doubt. At least in Edgar's view Homelander is absolutely the strongest supe in the world.

Even after he has seen the mysterious man, he still thinks so.
