On the sun-scorched beach of the island, a figure in silver clothing wearing goggles poked half of their head out from behind a reef.
Wade watched the plane constantly plummeting above, as well as the two small black dots in the high altitude with their backs turned.
"At this speed, the plane will hit the sea in 50 seconds. The landing point is... to the northeast."
He dove headfirst into the water, and the seawater around him was displaced, forming an oval bubble two meters in size.
The bubble traveled rapidly underwater, and wherever it passed, the fish within a twenty-five-meter radius exploded and died, with bright red blood mist permeating the seawater.
"After all, there is a Supe like The Deep who can communicate with marine life; I cannot leave behind any eyewitness fish." Wade floated horizontally in the center of the bubble, as if in a weightless environment. "Homelander and Maeve should still be observing in the sky; I must act carefully."
He had been in the sky since the afternoon, searching for the fixed flight path at three times the speed of sound, and had found and followed Transoceanic Flight 37.
After entering the central Atlantic region, in order to avoid running directly into Homelander and Maeve, he chose to dive to the seabed to continue tracking, waiting for 2 hours.
The specially made zinc clothing he was wearing right now was exactly what he had prepared to guard against Homelander's X-ray vision.
His strongest ability, Gas Manipulation, had a very slow development progress, and its range of influence was currently only 30 meters... Although others would be affected within the area, they were not fools and would easily pull away.
Wanting to confront the world's strongest Supe with a superpower development progress of Tier 4—Homelander—head-on was simply a pipe dream, not to mention that he was equipped with both offense and defense, could fight at a distance or in close quarters, and had high mobility.
"Comparing people to people, it's maddening! Developing superpowers from a young age is just different... When will my ability reach the point where I can break through from Tier 2 Intermediate to Tier 4 Master?"
While driving the oval bubble to move at high speed like a tuna, Wade sensed the subtle changes in airflow and sound on the sea surface, constantly adjusting his direction.
While shuttling, the scene he had witnessed earlier of Homelander and Maeve boarding the plane flashed through his mind... He knew at that moment that the fate of this plane was already sealed.
"It's a good thing I didn't risk boarding the plane to lie in wait. Homelander is by no means stupid; once he detects other Supes on the plane, he will definitely choose to silence them on the spot."
Wade had actually arrived in Paris yesterday evening and spent most of his time at Charles de Gaulle Airport constantly searching and reading minds.
Subsequently, based on the information left at the airport, he searched for a whole night in the vast sea of people, and only then did he find Shetty's husband and daughter—Anand Indira and Nisha Indira—at a nearby hotel.
After contacting Anand, Wade handed him an active watch containing the Guard Bear 2.0 serum and blocked the memory of their conversation.
He then used mind control to implant two key subconscious commands in Anand's brain: start hiding and recording from the moment Homelander and Maeve board the plane; and restore all memories immediately when they are about to leave.
Wade looked up at the sea surface, which had suddenly darkened, and muttered to himself: "If the father and daughter, Anand, injected the serum in time, relying on their super defensive power, high-speed healing, and regenerative ability, they should be able to withstand it..."
Rumble —!!!
A deafening explosion sound came from the sea surface, and even underwater, he felt the intense A-Train.
On the sea surface, the plane wreckage disintegrated instantly, and burning debris scattered like fireworks, illuminating the surrounding seawater, making it flicker on and off.
Under the perfect cover of this explosive roar and chaos, Wade controlled the bubble cluster to swim rapidly, heading straight for the target area: "Hundreds of tons of iron lumps; if I get hit, wouldn't I be killed on the spot?"
The visibility of the seawater gradually decreased with the thunderous dull sounds, and the secondary echo shock caused the bubble wall to ripple violently, carrying him as he rolled backward dozens of times.
"Not good; at this power, Anand and the others are very likely to be shaken to death! The video evidence is also likely lost!" Wade forcibly twisted his body, closed his eyes, and concentrated his attention, fully sensing the complete humanoid life forms in the seawater.
He directly bypassed thousands of pieces of wreckage and quickly locked onto two figures, one big and one small, hugging each other tightly underwater.
Following the sensation, Wade wrapped them into the bubble cluster, which had expanded to five meters in size.
Fully transformed into Guard Bears, Anand and Nisha were bleeding from their seven orifices, both suffering from extensive burns, both fell into a coma, and their hearts were beating at a high frequency.
With a thought from Wade, the airflow formed a tiny vortex that probed into their respiratory tracts and lungs, extracting the choked-in seawater along with some stomach contents, which he casually flung out of the bubble barrier.
"Ugh... cough, cough..." Anand and Nisha emitted bursts of coughing, still not having woken up.
Wade took the two of them and dove directly to the seabed, hiding in the gaps between coral rocks, preparing to provide emergency treatment for their injuries.
"Fortunately, it's just internal organ injury and internal bleeding; there's still time!"
He reached out and pressed on the two of them, controlling the chaotic blood flow inside their bodies, and instantly stopped the bleeding points everywhere.
Not long after, under the blessing of the regenerative ability and high-speed healing bestowed by the serum, the damaged organs were quickly repaired, but the two of them were becoming increasingly emaciated.
"No, the energy metabolism in their bodies cannot keep up... If this continues, they will still die!" Wade looked at the surrounding seawater with a anxious expression.
His pupils shrank sharply, and he decisively controlled the bubble cluster to deviate from the course, locking onto a group of deep-sea squid, and rolled the prey into the bubble.
The protein-rich squid tissue was completely shredded by a small air-blade tornado and guided into the mouths of the two unconscious people... Under the circumstances where Wade continuously guided the large and small blood flows to prioritize gathering in the gastrointestinal tract to enhance digestive ability, the emaciated torsos of the father and daughter finally gradually stopped dissolving themselves.
In the process of focusing on Blood Control, he vaguely sensed that other tissue cells and body fluids would be affected within a small range, and a realization surged in his heart: "Is the next stage of development for Blood Control cell-level control?"
More than ten minutes later, under the seabed.
A large oval bubble cluster quickly swam away from the sea area filled with debris and corpse remains.
Wade controlled the airflow barrier, constantly killing fish within the visible range, replenishing oxygen from the seawater along the way: "Homelander is likely still hovering and observing on the sea surface, and Vought's salvage team and news media will also arrive soon."
He must disappear completely with this father and daughter before anyone realizes there are "survivors."
Suddenly, a tremor originating from biological instinct spread through the seawater.
All the hairs on Wade's body stood on end, and he forcibly stopped the urge to dodge.
Swish —!!!
Several extremely hot red beams shot down from the sea surface above.
Wherever the laser passed, the seawater boiled violently, producing countless rolling bubbles.
Feeling the gradually decaying crimson laser, Wade let the air mass around him mix into the large school of fish, neither dodging nor avoiding, completely ignoring the movement above.
Inside the bubble, Wade's heart was pounding wildly, and his back was completely soaked with cold sweat.
Even from far away, he could clearly feel the terrifying energy contained in those few laser beams.
"Have I been discovered?! No, impossible... I'm wearing the clothes!"
Wade stabilized the bubble, his body blocking above the two, being carried away by the ocean currents.
On the sea surface, the red light in Homelander's eyes gradually dimmed, and his gaze swept over the turbid seawater below.
"So it was just a school of herring; did I see it wrong?"
He had just felt something moving rapidly underwater, with a strange shape, unlike a fish, and he actually couldn't see through that blurry shadow.
Out of caution, he casually gifted a few lasers.
But now, that strange feeling had disappeared; in his field of vision, there was only stirred-up seawater, schools of fish, and endless wreckage.
"It must have been a large piece of plane wreckage with a zinc coating." Homelander curled his lips, lost interest, turned around, and flew toward Maeve on the shore.
At the edge of the trench, Wade held his breath and concentrated, waiting until the tangible pressure on the sea surface had completely receded before he let out a sigh of relief.
"That was close... This guy is really neurotic." He glanced at the sea surface with lingering fear, "It's a good thing I didn't make any big moves; if it were discovered that there was something in the sea that could quickly dodge attacks, I'm afraid I would be hunted down to the end by him."
Wade dared not stay any longer, controlled the bubble to dive deeper and deeper, and sped toward New York Harbor.
