Chapter 125 - Chapter 125: Can You Fly?

Being able to complete deep-sea diving without the aid of equipment, the Deep's body density was far greater than that of ordinary people.

Although he felt a little dizzy, he wasn't completely defeated by Starlight's attack.

Still feeling aggrieved, Starlight once again gathered her strength, absorbing the surrounding electrical energy and converting it into photons. But the next moment, the light in her eyes suddenly went out without warning.

At that moment, the Deep had just struggled to get up and was completely unaware that a shadow had already covered him.

"Hey, who exactly are you?"

"You'd better delete the videos on your phone right now, or I guarantee you'll never be able to get out of Vought Tower intact!"

Looking up, the Deep saw that Jordan had appeared behind him at some unknown time. He uttered harsh words and instinctively threw a punch.

Nearly a ton of force struck Jordan's waist, yet not even a ripple appeared.

Jordan glanced down at the bewildered Deep and a kind smile appeared on his face.

"I gave you a chance, but you failed miserably"

His abs took the full force of the Deep's punch. His body remained completely still, but the wind from the punch lifted a corner of his trench coat.

A deep blue, next-generation-style firearm came into view, and the Deep was stunned, recalling the information that Translucent had given at the meeting.

"Hey, wait a minute, you are... Ah!"

A sharp pain shot through his scalp. The Deep only had time to let out a scream before his feet left the ground and he was lifted into the air.

Starlight at the door watched as Jordan grabbed the Deep by his short hair and lifted him up. She couldn't help but wince with empathy.

It looks so painful!

However, upon recalling what the Deep had intended to do to her, Starlight quickly shook her head, casting aside her habitual kindness.

So painful! Even more painful!

On the other side, Jordan carried the struggling Deep toward the floor-to-ceiling window at the front of the hall.

"Just one quick interview, Mr. Deep."

Upon hearing this, the Deep paused for a moment, then turned pale with shock.

Is he going to throw me out of here?

This is a high-rise building over 250 meters tall!

If I fall from here, even a superhero—except for Homelander—will turn into a pile of minced meat!

"No! You can't do this!"

He screamed in panic, like a little kid whose foot had been stepped on.

Seeing his reaction, Jordan nodded in satisfaction.

"I understand now."

"You're also a member of the Seven! You can't kill me!"

"Kill me, and you can no longer be a hero!"

"I apologize! Isn't my apology enough?"

"I can give you money! I have a lot of money! I can give you anything! Just don't kill me!"

Jordan didn't stop walking and asked in confusion. "Why do you all give the same speech before you die? Did you take the same course on begging for mercy?"

"Sorry, I'm not interested in money. I can even swear to the light that I've never touched money since I came into this world!"

The Deep felt that there seemed to be something wrong with what Jordan said, but his worldview was completely shocked by the next sentence, and he didn't react for a moment.

"Starlight! Please save me! You can't let him kill me like this! Please save me!"

When his pleas for mercy went unanswered, the Deep shouted hoarsely in Starlight's direction.

In his eyes, the girl's kindness might be his only chance to survive.

"Please wait a moment, sir..."

In fact, Starlight was indeed struggling with this decision at that time.

On one hand, instinct made her wish that disgusting guy would die right now.

On the other hand, her kindness and admiration for heroes made her wonder if doing this was a bit too extreme.

So she instinctively tried to call out to Jordan.

"I have a suggestion, Miss Starlight."

Jordan steadily grabbed the struggling Deep with one hand and took out his phone.

"You might want to log into your social media accounts and reflect on what just happened."

"Imagine, if I weren't just idly admiring the moon here, what would you be doing right now?"

"Are we going to leave such trash alive to hurt even more people?"

Jordan's words startled both of them. Starlight instinctively took out her phone, while the Deep showed a look of despair on his face.

"No! You actually posted the video online!"

"You've ruined me! No, what you're doing will ruin the entire Seven! How dare you do this!"

Jordan was shocked. "You still have time to consider the Seven? You're such a good person, Mr. Deep."

Seeing that disgusting scene again on her phone screen, Starlight showed an expression of physical discomfort.

Yeah, if there were only two people here, then I would...

Thinking of this, she gagged.

Jordan's questions echoed in her mind, and her worldview, which had been shattered by the Deep, was being quietly reshaped without her even realizing it.

Looking at the Deep again, her gaze was much calmer, devoid of any pity.

"I didn't see anything, sir."

Hearing Starlight's resolute voice, the Deep felt a chill run down his spine.

Jordan praised her verbally but also felt relieved.

If Starlight is truly an incurable saint, then saving her today was a waste of time.

Seeing the flashing lights of New York City outside the window, the Deep was filled with fear and couldn't help but scream.

Jordan grabbed him and pressed down on the floor-to-ceiling window in front of them. The bulletproof glass, strong enough to withstand machine gun fire, shattered instantly.

The scene of a falling object from a high altitude that had happened not long ago was repeated, except that this time it was the Deep flying out—and the Deep couldn't fly.

In the instant his body was airborne, in the mind of the Deep, whose head was bleeding from the collision, it was as if a bolt of lightning had ripped through the darkness.

'Why do you all give the same speech before you die? Did you take the same course on begging for mercy?'

Jordan's words echoed in his ears, causing him to widen his eyes involuntarily.

"Wait..."

"You killed A-Train too! You killed A-Train!"

You know too much.

The howling night wind dispersed the Deep's exclamation. Seeing that he was still unwilling to give up and wanted to shout, Jordan immediately took out the weapon at his waist and gave him a "Million Volts" shot.

[Weapon Skill: Million Volts] Effect: Fires a burst of explosive lightning, dealing lightning elemental damage and inflicting paralysis on a wide area of enemies.

As F-boy's commentary played, a dazzling plasma bullet struck the Deep, and the resulting blue lightning flashed and disappeared in the night sky.
