Chapter 152 – Anti-V

  Jayr POV - Earth, New York City - 2022

  A few hours passed, and I'm still looking through all the various kinds of shit that the Vought Iional and the Supes pulled out throughout the years, and the only thing that e out of my mouth seeing some of them is, "Fuck!"

  The reason for that is quite simple, the number of victims is truly staggering, in the 78 years sihe foundation of the pharmaceutical pany Vought America, which ter became the glomerate Vought Iional, the number of victims is well over 27 million, and what is worse is that the most of those numbers es from Supes casualities during intervention, failed experiments, casual murder that Supes did just for fun, straight up assassination of enemies political or to cover up other messed up things, and those are only the fortunate ohat are simply dead, if I add the number of lives that are simply ruihese number more than double.

  Seeing all this I 't restrain myself from voig my thoughts out loud, "Fug hell! They cause way more damage than the Nazis during the Holocaust and the people still worship them!?"

  Meanwhile, I tio pile everything in a way that is clear and easy to read with proof of every crime itted by this evil glomerate and its Supes, making sure that every crime is listed uhe name of its perpetrator, as I will publish everything on a site where the people check for themselves, only the blind or truly stupid will be uo believe sucriminating evidence, such as photos, videos, and even Vought Iional's internal reports made by Vought Special Services (VSS), a secret division of Vought Iional that specializes in ing up the messes left behind by supes.

  In fact, seeing the amount of evideook from that particur division, a smirk forms on my face as I mutter, 'Those fools, they truly thought that by simply deleting a file from the hard disk awork, that file disappears without a trace? Sorry to burst your bubble but it doesn't a trace always remain, and using the hag teiques from the Teoppa Gurren Lagann Universe, it was quite easy to recover aore those files... In fact, I just had another idea..."

  Without hesitation, I once again summon Cratergann from my Silver Core Drill and ask him to ect to the o seard gather all the evide find of crimes pertaining to the Vought and its Supes.

  Meanwhile, I tio focus oa gathered from the Vought to find more of their dirty little secrets, like the fact, that Victoria Neuman is, in fact, the adoptive daughter of Stan Edgar, or that before Homehere was another piece of shit called Soldier Boy, Captain America's caricature, that once he wasn't useful anymore, he was therayed by his rades of the team called Payback, the knock-off Avengers, and sold to the Russian so that they could kill him off, because at the time they just created Homender using Soldier Boy's sperm and the eggs of fug Stromfront impnted into a mentally disabled woman who then died on childbirth as Homender opened his way out with his ser eyes.

  Reading about that particur i, I mutter in disgust, "Of course, the guy is fucked up, his first victim was his surrogate mother, and plus what he did with his nazi biological one... talk about keeping the bloodline pure..."

  Of course, these aren't the only things in these data there are many more, like when they bckmailed politis to get the reforms they wao be approved, or covered up the Supes' sexual assaults, or c up Lamplighter burning grandkids of a CIA task force leader that had incriminating evidence alive uheir order and then c the fact up, and a whole other lot of fucked up things.

  In fact, among the Seven, if you ignore Aarlight, the only ohat be sidered a det human being is Queen Meave, she is the only ohat actively tries to really help people instead of doing it only to gain fame or for her own vanity, she also has the smallest body t, and all of them are criminals that she was forced to put down to save an i, sure she isn't without faults, but pared with most of the Supes of this world she basically be sidered almost a saint.

  Doh that, I start to study the pound V formu while muttering, "While I easily "cure" the Supes with my powers, I think it is better to create a solution that also be used by normal people so that they deal with the "rogue" Supes even after I'm gone..."

  Studying the formu I realize, that pound V is mostly made up of on if not rare chemical ingredients, all but a single one uo this universe, a chemical element that they call Haxtratium, first found on a meteorite that fell oh in the year 1924 which is even more radioactive than Uranium, Radium, Polonium, and Thorium all biogether, but different from those four elements, its radiations are special, and aren't totally harmful to living beings as the very few pnt and animal lifeform that survived the exposure, those with stronger adaptability, came up mutated as a stronger aer lifeform.

  Of course, when the Nazis realized that, the new chemical element was thhly researched and then artificially synthesized and bined with various other elements to weaken its radiations until, through many inhuman experimentations it became possible for a human to withstand them, and so, adapt and mutate, moreover, the straure of this kind of element makes it possible for children to adapt to it more easily than an adult.

  Then I study the notes of a new variation of pound V, which they call V24 or Temp V, as it in the name is a temporary pound V that sts 24 hours.

  The Haxtratium in this version is very minimal and weakened, so much that it colpses on itself ohe 24 hours pass, but that opens a new whole lot s of problems, first of all, even if the Haxtratium of the Temp V ceases its fun as a power booster, its harmful radioactive nature remains in the body, and as everyone knows having radioactive elements in one's body is very bad, moreover, the more doses of Temp V oakes, the more the harmful radioactive elements accumutes, until, well, the subject dies, and from what I see, 5 to 6 is the max a normal healthy human body withstand.

  Reag this point, I start to e up with a possible "cure" for pound V, 'Well, from these data, it is clear, that I use a bination of other radioactive elements to trast the ones in pound V, nullifying its effects, but that will only stop the pound V from enhang an individual, not remove the harmful radioactive elements, in fact, it will even increase them making the one subjected to such treatment have a very short life expecy...'

  Realizing this, I ge my train of thought dire, and try to think of this like it is some kind of radiation emergency situation, 'Talking about radiation emergency situations, the Potassium Iodide is used to protect the thyroid gnd from possible radiation injury caused by radioactive iodine... maybe I use that as a basis to e up with something that will ter the pound V, maybe even render someone "immuo its effects, this way the Supes will bee a lot more manageable...'

  ing to this clusion, I quickly start to work on it and use my Spiral o to create enough materials to start my test, including, the necessary instrument of an advanced chemical b, with all the possible elements and pounds that I think will be useful for ing up with a cure, like Potassium Iodide, Haxtratium, and the pound V itself to check if my solution will be effective while thinking, 'I really love the bullshit ability to create matter from the energy of the Spiral o, I basically create anything I need as long as I have suffit knowledge of it.'

  Butcher POV - Earth, New York City - 2022

  It is finally evening, but I'm still in The Boys' headquarters waiting for Meave to e here as she requested a meeting.

  While waiting for her, I casually throw darts at Homender's photo on the wall with a grin on my face thinking about the possibility of that motherfucker finally getting his due.

  All of a sudden, I hear Maeve's voice as she says, "I heard Termite walked. My lead was good. What happened?"

  I turn and look at her, throw o dart at that motherfucker's face, and simply reply trying to tain the glee I'm feeling knowing that the bastard's days are ted, "Don't ask." after that, I move toward her.

  After a slight pause, Meave says, "Well, we got to talk." and pulls something from her purse, some kind of folder.

  She then offers the folder while saying, "I think I have something."

  Curious, I grab the folder and open it, and taking a look at the familiar photo I ask fused, "Soldier Boy. So what?"

  Meave then asks back, "Remember how he died?" and I expin what I remember, "Stopping a nuclear meltdown in Ohio. '83, '84, I think, got buried beh a reactor. Always thought it was bollocks."

  Hearing that, Meave takes a few steps bad leans on a nearby table as she firms, "Yeah, you thought right. Read."

  I tio look at the files and instantly something catches my eye, "What's B.C.L. RED?" she instantly replies, "If you believe the rumors, it's the thing that killed Soldier Boy. Some kind of gun or on or something."

  Hearing that I casually ent, "Had to have been a fug H-bomb. He was nearly as strong as... Ah." and instantly realize why she is showihis and raise my head to look at her.

  And indeed, Meave smiles, stands up, and says, "If we find this... on or whatever it is, maybe we use it to blow Homender's fug brains out."

  Hearing that I move closer to Meave while thinking, 'What's up with today!? Is it my fug birthday!? I get not o two possible methods to deal with that asshole. One is some fug alien boy from another universe or something like that, while the other is some kind of unknown on used against someone almost as strong as Homender some 50 years ago... And the fug funny thing is that I don't know which is the most improbable of the two... What's the hell is happening to this world?'

  I then sit oable while saying, "If it is real, not some f?g fable."

  Then turn the file page, see another photo, and mutter while scoffing, "Payback. Hmpf. What a bunch of fug wankеrs." making Meave ent and expin, "I'll say. When The Seven passed them as the number one super team, Crimson tess sent me a box of cat shit. She was fug Soldier Boy. And, uh, Gunpowder was his sidekick. If anyone knows what happeo him, they do."

  Hearing that, I ask, "Your mate Noir was in Payback. Why don't you ask him?" but Meave scoffs and says while pulling out something from her purse, "Hmpf. Even if that walking tumor could talk, it wouldn't be to me. Here."

  Then she gives me three small capsules taining a suspicious green liquid, and seeing that I ask, "What's this?"

  She replies, "It's Temp V. One shot makes you a Supe for 24 hours. I mean, they think. It's still in R&D."

  Hearing that I joke, "Oh, great, so powers, maybe. Maybe my bollocks swell up like footballs."

  But she rebuts, "Yeah? Payback may be a bunch of fuck holes, but they're strong. And they're dangerous. If yoing against them, yonna ."

  I look at Maeve and question her, "And what makes you think that me, of all people, would want to turn into one of you?" making her reply, "This is our best ce to kill Homender. Don't fuck it up."

  But at this moment, I grin and reply, "That isly so... I just heard a fug juicy good oday, there could be someohat not only will deal with that fug flying t, but that als down the whole fug Vought Iional... and we are going to meet him tonight... Do you want to e and check for yourself too?"

  Jayr POV - Earth, New York City - 2022

  Seeing the milky white liquid iest tube that I'm holding in my hand, I 't help but shout out, "Eureka!"

  After I don't know how many trials and errors, it seems that I was able to create a solution that pletely nullifies pound V.

  The proof is the test tube I have in my hand because this test tube a few seds ago simply taihe usual bright blue pound V, but then I added my own solution to it and after mixing for a few seds, the pound V lost all its radioactive proprieties and turned into this substance.

  The reason I was able to e up with this so quickly isn't only because I'm an awesome, handsome God whose domain is everything that has something to do with Healing, no the other reason, is that I don't have any fear of any problem that a failure could have caused, an explosion? Simply press it and throw it into space, deadly fumes? They 't kill me, so calmly rip open a hole in the spad throw it into the void, toxic waste? Vanish them out of existence.

  Basically, any procedure that had anything to do with safety, I could simply ignore, and so, I simply mixed dangerous elements with very dangerous and careless procedures without aation or fear, sure, I may or may not also e up with a couple of nasty and very deadly poisons, that I may or may not have kept, to use in case it is needed.

  And like that, in the end, I was able to create this solution by mixing the Potassium Iodide with the Haxtratium, and a couple of other elements that made up the pound V that weakens the Haxtratium, plus some simple H2O, pin water, making a solution that not only ralizes the Haxtratium's radiations but also attracts and absorbs them.

  (AN: Before anyone say anything, this is pure bullshit that I e up with. I studied chemistry, yes, but for only 1 year and way too long ago to know anything crete about it. For the readers more knowledgeable about the subject take it that anything that doesn't sit right for you is because of the proprieties of the imaginary element I created as the main ingredient of the pound V.)

  Anyway, looking at the test tube, a frown forms on my face as I mutter, "Well... now that I have created something that eutralize pound V, I have to test it to make sure that it works as intended... Time to find some unwilli subjects."

  Saying that I move back to the ptop and look at the list of trashy Supes to search for a couple of test subjects, and I instantly lo a couple that not only are quite easy to find because of the characteristics of their powers but also because they are quite public figures, the first one is Ice Princess who freezes her partner's penis mid-asm and that isn't because she loses trol of her powers, but something that she willingly does as she enjoys their reas, the other is Oh-Father, a Supe of the Capes for Christ, a Supe Christian anization affiliated with Vought, and of course with a name aing like that, it is clear what his vid crimes are, he is a religious corrupt superhero and the anizer of Capes for Christ events, who sexually abuses his adolest sidekicks.

  Fog on those two, I quickly use my seo search for them, and after a few seds, I find them, Ice Princess is clearly riding someone, and seems about to freeze another puy's penis, while Oh-Father is flying around as some kind of publicity stunt.

  Without hesitation, I lo their presend quickly teleport them here, Oh-Father is a tall and muscur, bald bck middle-aged man with a ridiculous white and yellow superhero suit with a horrendous cape, while Ice Princess is a somewhat good-looking woman in the mid 30s, with bck hair and azure eyes and a petite build, and of course, she is totally naked.

  Of course, both are stunned by the sudden ge of their surroundings but before they do anything, I simply hit them in their acupoints preventing them from moving, of course, that doesn't stop Ice Princess fr to freeze everything but I simply take trol of the temperature preventing her from doing it while thinking, 'What a fool she wants to py with i front of me...'

  After that, I simply knock them out and put them into a a-like state so that I test my creation on them in peace while thinking, 'Still the ohat chose the name Oh-Father should have some really throughout sessions with a psychologist because that person for sure has some issues that o be addressed as soon as possible.'

  Without hesitation, I pick up two doses of what I'll call Anti-V, and ihem into Ice Princess and Oh-Father, at the same time, I focus my senses on their bodies to see the rea they have to the Anti-V.

  I sehe milky white liquid c through their bloodstream, and anywhere it passes, it slowly absorbs any traces of pound V in their bodies.

  The process isn't instantaneous, but I clearly feel their bodies getting weaker with each passing moment, at the same time, so do their powers, as Ice Princess' body temperature is tinuously rising until it reaches the ones of a normal human being.

  After around 15 mihe two in front of me aren't Supes anymore, they are once again normal human, 'Well, no really normal, the Anti-V will tio remain in their bodies their whole life... this could create some problems down the line... better check...'

  And so I use good old Restoration Magi them to speed up their bodies' time making them grow older in a matter of seds while also infusing my Spiral o to substitute their need for food, and instantly notie of the side effects of the Anti-V, right now their bodies should be in their 100s but they still look middle-aged, not only that but all their ans are still as healthy as they could be.

  Seeing that, I tio speed up their time, and only when 250 years pass their bodies start to show the signs of aging, so I stop speeding up their time and check the situation more closely and mutter, "Hmm... Now their bodies start to look like someone in their 80s more or less, but despite that they are still quite lively ahy, in fact, in her 170s Ice Princess still produced healthy eggs making her able to have childree her advanced age, and it seems that there is no other apparent plication. It looks like the Anti-V enhaheir overall health and lifespan by quite a lot, but it didn't alter them rant any superhuman ability..."

  To further firm this, I make a small cut on their palms, but I see them going through the four phases of healing, hemostasis, infmmation, growth and rebuilding, and strengthening at a normal pace if not a little speed up by my own time manipution as I didn't want to wait a few days to firm such a basic thing.

  After that, I move to the part of my test, to see if the test subjects gained an immunity to pound V making them uain their powers with a new dose of pound V.

  So I take a big vial of pound V and fill twes with it, then I ihe Super Soldier Serum knock-off into the test subjed focus on them while getting ready to a case of some messy or ued result, like them suddenly exploding, shitting themselves, turning into zombies, growira limbs, getting gender-bended and so on, you know the usual stuff when you deal with such things.

  While nothing of that happens, something somewhat ued still happens, as the now elderly bodies of Ice Princess and Oh-Father, are going through some iing ges.

  They are slowly getting apparently younger, and soon, they appear like a couple in their 60s.

  Feeling what is going on in their bodies, I realize what happened, and what are the other side effects of the Anti-V, 'I see, the Anti-V in their bodies once more absorbed all the pound V and its radiation, then that extra energy was used to nourish the body, extending their lifespan once again, making them appear youheir bodies are, in fact, still 250 years old, but before, that was he end of their previously enhanced lifespan, with this new dose of pound V they gained another 50 years or so. I uedly created a fug Elixir of Life! As long as someoh Anti-V in their bodies is ied with a dose of pound V then their lifespan will be stantly extended...'

  Realizing this, I proceed to test this side-effey serum further and after iing many doses of pound V, I notice that this won't turn them into true immortal, as the lifespan gained with eaje gets smaller and smaller until it bees iive, reag a total lifespan of around 1000 years.

  But at this point, I realize what kind of problem the Anti-V could cause, 'For sure wars will be fought over the monopoly of this resource, those greedy politis that be barely sidered human beings are able to do anything to get more influence, power, and live longer... It seems that I have to find a solution to this... What to do...'

  I sit in silerying to e up with some kind of solution that doesn't need my stant preseo work, 'I could bless the Anti-V with my Justice Divinity making so that those that are evil will receive the opposite result, which means decreasing their lifespan, but for ohat kinda goes against my own belief, as I sider su act a clear viotion of the Healer Oath, moreover, it won't fix anything because once humanity knows it is possible to reae kind of immortality it won't stop at anything to reach it.'

  Realizing this a frown forms on my face as I tio search for a solution, 'I could also simply erase pound V from existence, eliminating the formu and removing the memory of it from everyone's mind... but that is only a temporary fix, as it will be rediscovered once more, humanity is just that good at such things.'

  Finally, I came up with the only possible solution, 'I have to create a glomerate that takes Vought Iional's pce, oh the same level of power and influence, but with a w moral pass... One where only the good people be in a position of trol and power, people like Anne and Hughie... That could work in limiting the problems...'

  Reag this clusion, I start to fix Oh-Father and Ice Princess, turning back their bodies' time making them return to their actual age, while at the same time, removing the memories of their enter with me from their minds, then I teleport them into the La Santé Prison's cell, in France.

  They will be detaihere as someone very smart and handsome puts them into the database adding their crimes to the file, plus a donation from a private at, Homender's oo the prison and its warden so that they keep quiet about their situation, you know the usual c their mistakes story that everyone easily believes.

  Doh that, I start to everything in the apartment and pull out the ingredients from my Soulbouory to prepare some homemade pizza for dinner while keeping some part of my awareness on Hughie for proteg him with my barrier, I learhat The Boys will be io meet me and learn more about me and my pn.

  And so while I start to prepare the dough for the pizza, I mutter, "What kind of guest would I be if I don't at the very least prepare a nice dinner for my host and his friends?"
