Pennsylvania, the so-called retired lamplighter, is now dressed in hospital staff uniform, holding a lighter in his hand, and "inspecting" patients room by room with a woman.

The so-called patients are actually test subjects for the iterative products of Compound No. 5.

Vought Corporation is not satisfied with creating and training superheroes from a young age, so it wants to develop a new version of Compound No. 5 that can be injected by adults to stably gain superpowers, so this nominal mental hospital came into being.

Storm, the fragile person who was born in Berlin in 1919, the wife of the founder of Water International, a woman who has not aged in a hundred years, is the person in charge here.

The lamplighter is a tool used to "destroy" out-of-control test subjects.

After a moment, the woman looked satisfied and prepared to leave.

At this moment, the door of the mental hospital was violently blown open, and Anne walked in wearing a yellow and white cloak uniform.

"This is the superhero Ms. Marvel! All super-powered criminals, kneel down and surrender immediately, or I will not be polite." Annie said, and a two-meter-long lightsaber condensed in her hand, cutting a large hole in the specially made solid ground. The edge of the hole melted directly and emitted a red light, fully demonstrating the power of the lightsaber.

"WTF!?" Storm was confused.

She had only recently returned to the entertainment industry, so she didn’t really know much about this new member of the Super Seven.

What the fuck is this?
Has Vought's heroic crime-fighting backfired on him?

Storm started to think, wondering if the cooperation between Vought's top management and her had fallen through, and they were here to get rid of her.

"Haha, I'm just kidding. I was sent by those big guys on the upper floors to help you study the iteration work of Compound No. 5. They thought my abilities might be helpful." Annie smiled, put away her lightsaber and looked at Storm and the Lamplighter.

Storm was a little confused, but his vigilance was lowered. After all, he could say these words, so he obviously knew a lot of inside information about Walter, and he didn't seem like a liar. It was just that the way he appeared was a bit tricky.

As Feng Bao thought this, his expression visibly relaxed, and the tiny flickering arc of electricity in his hand disappeared without a trace.

Annie had been watching her the whole time, and the moment she noticed that the energy radiation from Storm had decreased, she suddenly attacked.

A laser blast burst out from her palm, blasting Storm away.

The storm crashed through the outer wall of the mental hospital along the corridor, plowing a passage hundreds of meters long in the woods in the distance, and my head was buzzing.

"Fuck!" Storm cursed and was about to stand up, but a streak of light rushed over first and hit her on the head with a punch, knocking her down.

"I just lied to you." Annie's fist was shining with golden light, and she punched Storm on the head again.

A visible gust of wind exploded, breaking a circle of nearby large trees in half.

"Who the hell are you?" Storm blocked another punch from Annie, her eyes flashing with lightning, and she tried to fight back, but what greeted her was the dazzling light in Annie's eyes.

Two beams of light shot out suddenly, blinding Storm's eyes in an instant.

Storm screamed, electricity bursting through his body like crazy.

But Anne was overjoyed.

Such pure, high-energy electricity, she won’t be polite!
Annie takes in all the electrical energy and converts it all into light energy. The ultra-high conversion rate means there is almost no loss of electrical energy. This is something that even the most sophisticated machines of mankind cannot do.

Anne felt the light energy and her eyes were filled with ecstasy.

This light energy is obviously different from the light energy she usually transforms, and it even has a hint of biological characteristics!
Is it because the energy source is superhuman?

But it didn't matter anymore. Annie felt that she could absorb this light energy and store it completely in her body, or - completely integrate it with her body and permanently strengthen her physique!

Anne doesn't have time to try the fusion for now, so she can only store it in her body first.

By now the storm was in a panic.

The ability she was so proud of was unable to hurt the other person, and her eyes were blinded. She couldn't fully heal herself for a while. For the first time, she felt a sense of panic that her life was not in her control.

"Stop! Fucking stop!" Storm waved his hands and yelled, "Who the hell are you!"

"I am electricity, I am light, I am the only myth!" Annie replied with a smile, holding down Storm with both hands, lasers bursting from her eyes, trying to cut off Storm's neck.

To be honest, Storm's defense is indeed strong enough that it can even withstand Homelander's laser eyes. The key is that its self-healing ability is also extraordinary. Its powerful electric current attack and flying ability are, to some extent, not inferior to Homelander.

But only to some extent.

She can still be killed, and if she is killed she will die!
Just like now!
Two golden lasers as thick as eggs converged, melting and cutting Storm's neck desperately, making her feel the taste of death.

"I, I surrender--" Storm shouted with great difficulty.

"Are you serious?" Annie asked, but Laser Eyes was still firing at full power, showing no sign of stopping.

"Really, really!" Storm cried. Although she was once the fragile one, her mental will was not very strong, and she had no problem bullying the weak. When she met someone as cruel as Annie, she was just afraid now.

Faced with the life-and-death crisis, she undoubtedly threw away all her self-esteem and just wanted to survive.

So the surrender is indeed sincere, at least it is completely real at this moment.

Anne's lips curled up into a smile.

She didn't believe in Storm, but there was no need to kill her just like that. This was a top-notch power bank that could be recharged for free. The best option was to lock her up in a special restricted room in this mental hospital and squeeze out her superpowers to make them her nourishment.

The laser in Annie's eyes faded, but at this moment, a fierce flame rushed towards her from behind.

The temperature was so high that even she could feel the heat surging.

That is an extremely high temperature enough to melt steel in an instant!
It’s the lamplighter!

This guy is quite loyal.

Annie turned around and swung her hand back. A powerful ray of light formed into a fly swatter, which directly knocked the lamplighter away.

Under the powerful force, the lamplighter's body exploded into a pile on the spot.

"I'm sorry, there's already a fire controller in my Avengers. He's much more advanced than you. He can make fire by himself and fly, so there's no place for you." Annie said with a smile.

Storm had no idea what Annie was talking about. She just felt like she had survived a disaster and wanted to just vent her anger by releasing electricity and killing people.

However, in front of Annie, she hid this thought very well, and her eyes, which had recovered to their original state under the powerful self-healing power, gave Annie a flattering smile.

A few hours later.

In the specially designed restricted room, Storm's combat suit was torn and he looked dehydrated to death.

She had just been severely squeezed by Annie, and all her energy had been drained away. She could not regenerate energy in a short period of time, and at this moment, she fell asleep due to excessive fatigue.

At this moment, Annie is using all of the astonishing amount of electrical energy in her body to strengthen her body.

She was seen suspended in the air with a dazzling light all over her body. All of her cells were undergoing drastic changes under the light. The cells in charge of energy conversion became more efficient, the cells on her skin became tougher, and the muscle cells became stronger. Overall, she became stronger - at least ten times stronger than before!
The enhancement lasted for a full half hour before the light faded away. Annie landed on the ground with a look of satisfaction on her face.

Now, if she faced her countryman head-on, she would definitely be able to deal damage to him at close range and suppress him to the point where he couldn't even raise his head.

Of course, it is still a little difficult to kill Homelander. After all, he can fly and has his own energy so he can fly all the time. But she can't do that. He will run out of power after chasing for a while.

But there is no doubt that this is still a huge improvement in strength.

As long as she continues to absorb storms and continues to strengthen herself, it is not impossible for her to kill her fellow countrymen instantly in the future.

So now, keep planning.

Anne is ready to take Cindy in for herself.

But before she could start, a phone call came in. It was Madeline.

After Annie answered the phone, her eyes narrowed.

Several Vought shareholders wanted to meet her?

Anne thought this was interesting.

"I hope what you think is not what I think, otherwise..." Anne sneered, left the mental hospital immediately and flew back to New York.

In Madeline's office in the Water Building, Anne met this old woman who could barely be described as "still charming".

"Annie, you look so beautiful. I'm a little jealous." Madeline came over like old friends, but Anne interrupted her directly.

"Just say what you want to say. Why does the Walter shareholder want to see me?"

Madeline's expression remained unchanged, showing no displeasure at all. She was thinking quickly about how to start talking.

Several shareholders took a fancy to Anne and wanted to buy her Foster's, so they approached her, the vice president of Water.

Of course she had to bargain modestly, so she sold Anne to him for a good price, and now all she had to do was send her over.

But seeing Annie's somewhat tough attitude, she felt that this matter might not be easy to handle. (End of this chapter)
