As I flew towards the nuclear plant, I couldn't help but think of my [Telepathy].

It has become very powerful but there is still a long way to go before I can reach the level I want it to reach.

Mind controlling someone isnt an easy feat,I'll tell you that but the feeling it comes with is ...

honestly very addictive.

Having total control of someone is a feeling that can't be explained with mere words.

It's like I'm a god or something. I can just order the prisoners in my lab to fuck each other till they die and they will do so with no hesitation.

Before I can fully control an individuals mind, that is, having full control of their thought process, rationality and cognitive abilities, I need a long period of time to permanently brainwash and 'reprogram' the person.

Normal people can take long hours reprogramming before I can fully rewrite their minds while people with mental issues like Multiple personalities can take days.

Don't get me wrong, I can still manipulate people in less than a minute but that's a different kind of manipulation.

For example, I can implant thoughts into someone's head and let the person commit a crime or even commit suicide depending depending on how strong the person's mind is but since my mind is stronger I can overload the person's brain till my influence becomes the normal thought pattern of the individual.

To reach the level of powerful Telepaths like Professor X who can mind control people in seconds and overwrite their minds and personalities, I will need to do something special.

I think it has to do with my brain being occupied with three other abilities, making it equalize or distribute its efficiency among them.

If I were to chart my mental abilities by percentage then [Psychokinesis] will be around sixty percent, [ESP] and [Telepathy] will be twenty percent.

My main and most powerful power is [Psychokinesis] and that's a fact, the other ones are just additions making their potency less than the main power.

That doesn't mean the rest will regress or they are weak, but it's just that one has been prioritized over the others.

I'm working on a way to break every limitation my brain or body has and make me so powerful that there will be no limits to my power.

The previous experiment is the preliminary stage to that goal. I know that it wont be long before I do, i just need to be patient and not necessarily rush things.

After three hours of flying at my Mach one, I arrived above the nuclear plant.

I could see a news crew just outside the plant doing their job.

I can't hear what they are saying as I'm high enough that they won't see without very close observation but by using my [ESP] I could read their lips and make out what they are saying at the moment.

It seems Homelander went in without Noir and it's just ten minutes ago that he also arrived.

Descending to a suitable height, I closed my eyes and spread my senses across the whole facility.

This made me see the entirety of the facility in black and white and in just a few seconds I could see the figure of Homelander.

.....It seems Edgar was right, the guy is messing things up. He has killed the terrorists together with the hostages leaving only three barely alive with grevious injuries.

Sigh..... his mental instability is going to be a serious problem if he doesnt get it in check.

Oh it seems, Noir has appeared. Wait what is he doing?

Oh no, he wants to eliminate Noir. How crazy can this get? Judging by the look of things if I dont interfere things will get a whole lot uglier.

<Boom!>

I flew and crashed into the room Homelander had chased Noir into from above, sending dust and stones everywhere.

"Stand Down John."

I said calmly as I faced Homelander who eyes were glowing red with Noir at my back.

"Virgil? What are you doing here? It doesn't matter, just leave my way. I have to deal with him."

He said, levitating with an angry look on his face with his eyes glowing.

Noir was silently standing behind me with no fear and by quickly glancing through his mind I knew what's going on.

"I don't know why you are doing this but stop. Killing Noir won't solve your problem."

I said trying to calm him down, but it seems my words didn't do anything.

"You are protecting Noir? He isn't even your friend. Oh I see now, you guys are teaming up to sabotage me, you fear I will take your spotlight. You guys aren't leaving here today!"

He said and sent a fast ray of heat from his eyes.

With a thought, a large concave barrier was formed in front of me and blocked the heat ray.

"John.... it seems you have forgotten our last fight, I don't know what makes you think you can win. But I guess it's time I trashed you again."

I said in a serious manner that changed the air in the room as I ascended air to Homelander's level.

Noticing the seriousness of the situation Noir hurriedly left the room leaving us alone.

"I will show you what happens when you underestimate me Virgil!"

He exclaimed and rushed towards me with amazing speed.

With a stretch of my hand, a huge force crashed into him which sent him through multiple walls in the facility.

Flying through the destroyed walls, I arrived outside the building and saw Homelander in the air with an extremely angry look on his face.

The next second he dashed towards me,

sending a right cross towards my face.

I dodged the attack by ducking and with a left palm strike imbued with my power, he was blasted into the sky.

Without waiting for him to steady himself midair, i clenched my fist.

Numerous iron rods and steel materials numbered in hundreds together with tanks and other materials around me were ripped from their places and barreled towards him.

This encasing him in a giant sphere in the sky.

I continued clenching my fist, the sphere started compressing and stopped when it couldn't continue, leaving a floating somewhat even sphere.

A large area of land around me was devastated as there was little to no material left in the surroundings due to this move.

Suddenly, I heard a voice coming from the sphere.

"Aaaaaaaaargghhhhh!"

<Bang!>

With a large shout, the sphere that was trapping him got blasted away, sending metal and other materials flying in high speed, destroying some buildings and the ground as a result.

There he was in the sky, with a battered suit but an unharmed body taking large breaths.

When he saw me, a smirk covered his face with his eyes glowing red with his cape fluttering in the air painting an invincible picture.

Sigh.... I guess I have to put him to sleep.

If I use any powerful moves here, the whole town will get implicated since we are in a nuclear plant.

I was just about to use my [Telepathy] when we heard something.

"M-M-Mr Noir p-please help m-e."

"Deva, please stop fighting and help us! We will die if you continue fighting with that psycho."

A man and woman said. The woman was in a serious condition with both of her legs twisted making her crawl towards Noir.

The man who mentioned my name was a few meters behind me limping with an injured head and leg.

They are still here?, it's really unfortunate they didn't leave when they had the chance. They can't be allowed to leave now.

Homelander was nervously watching from the sky, he knew that if I wanted to save them I could and this might ruin his reputation.

During our fight, I read his mind. He genuinely thinks I'm protecting Noir to ruin his reputation and career.

This guy thinks I've got his time.

I really wanted to use this opportunity to use him as a test dummy but I guess it won't happen today.

I glanced at Noir and our eyes met. We both nodded and turned and focused on the survivors.

Homelander wanted to attack me since I have my back turned but I sent a suggestion into his mind that made him want to see what we were going to do.

Seeing that I'm looking at him with an annoyed face the man got confused.

"Mr Deva what's wro--"

With a slight tilt of my head, his neck got twisted making him drop onto the floor with no vitals.

Checking on Noir, I saw him lifting the woman from the floor just to break her neck, killing her in the process.

Homelander was surprised and confused since he didn't understand why we did that.

Noir took a small notepad and started writing and went closer towards Homelander.

When he saw this he descended and landed in front of Noir who had just finished writing and showed Homelander what he wrote.

After reading he gave both of us an apologetic look.

"Sorry for misunderstanding, I thought y----"

"Save your apologies John, I don't need them. Just blow up the facility and let's get out of here."

I cut him off and said.

He was surprised but he nodded the next second and turned to face the facility with his eyes heating up and sent a larger than usual heat ray to the facility.

<Boom!> <Boom!>.....

We flew into the sky as the facility exploded numerous times with Homelander carrying Noir.

With this any mistake will be erased.

When I saw that the entire facility was in flames, I flew away with high speed without talking to them.

I have many things do but now I need to release stress and there is someone who can help with this.

And with that I changed direction and blasted away.
