Begin from the original form of torture and become immortal

Chapter 1580 Superpowers should also be free!

The strong wind was howling in the sky. The helicopter was shaking violently under the impact of the airflow, and the fuselage made a terrifying creaking sound.

The photographers and reporters on the helicopter were so frightened that their legs went weak, like two leaves trembling in the strong wind.

Their faces were as pale as paper, their eyes were full of fear and despair, and they looked like frightened birds.

However, under the signal from Sebastian Xiao's eyes, they dared not disobey in the slightest.

With trembling hands, he struggled to control the helicopter, slowly landing towards where Sebastian Shaw was.

“Is it live now?”

Sebastian Xiao held his head high and looked at the camera with a calm expression, as if the chaos around him had nothing to do with him.

His voice was still clearly audible amid the whistling wind.

"Yes sir, we are live now."

The reporter swallowed hard and felt his throat was so dry that it seemed like smoking.

He tried hard to suppress the fear that was surging in his heart. At this moment, he felt as if he was on the edge of hell. The invisible fear followed him like a shadow, tightly strangling his throat, making every breath he made extremely difficult.

After all, this is a superhuman terrorist!

"Very good. Next, we will take action against Water Corporation and distribute Compound No. 5 to the public. People with super powers should not be the product of monopoly. America is a country of free democracy, and super powers should also be free!"

Sebastian Shaw turned around, faced the camera, waved his hands vigorously in the air, and made an impassioned speech.

At this moment, he is like a revolutionary standing at the forefront of the times, passionately delivering his declaration to break the shackles of the old world and create a new order that he believes is fair and free.

Behind him, the once invincible Homelander, a symbol of the supreme authority of the Water Company, was now lying on the ground in a miserable state, his life or death unknown.

The iconic blue uniform of the motherland is now torn to tatters, and the pieces of fabric are floating weakly in the wind, as if telling the story of the former glory and the current desolation.

His face was covered in blood and the shocking wounds recorded the fierce battle just now. His golden hair was scattered in front of his forehead, covering half of his pale face, making it difficult to see his expression at the moment.

His body was motionless, and only the faint, almost imperceptible breathing sound proved that he still had a glimmer of life, struggling tenaciously in the face of this cruel reality.

And Sebastian Shaw, like a revolutionary about to usher in a new era, openly announced his next plan in front of the live camera without any hesitation.

For a moment, the whole world seemed to freeze at this moment.

This scene was broadcast live across the world in an instant, causing an uproar. In various parts of America, countless families were sitting in front of their televisions, and their originally warm days were disrupted by this sudden live broadcast.

The children hid in their parents' arms in fear, while the adults stared at the screen in amazement, with shock and confusion written all over their faces.

Some people slammed the table angrily, calling Sebastian Shaw a lunatic; others were worried about the chaos that would fall into society once Compound No. 5 fell into the hands of the public.

At the same time, social media exploded instantly.

Various comments and reposts came in like a tide, the topic's popularity soared, and it quickly topped the hot search lists on major platforms.

Netizens were divided into two completely different camps and engaged in a heated debate.

One group supports Sebastian Shaw. They left messages in the comment section, believing that Vought Corporation has long monopolized super powers, concealed the truth about Compound No. 5 from the public, and used super powers as a tool to seek personal gain. Someone should have stood up long ago to break this unfair situation, make super powers more "democratic", and let everyone have the opportunity to own and control their own power.

The other group strongly condemned Xiao's behavior. They called him a terrorist and believed that Compound No. 5 was extremely uncertain and dangerous, and distributing it to the public at will would undoubtedly push the entire society into the abyss.

They worry that once this powerful and unstable force falls into the hands of people with bad intentions, it will pose a huge threat to countless innocent lives and the entire society will fall into turmoil and chaos.

The two factions' views were diametrically opposed and neither side gave in. The debate was fierce, making the atmosphere on the Internet increasingly tense.

At the headquarters of Vought Corporation, the top executives were in chaos.

In the conference room, the lights were dim and the air was filled with smoke. Everyone was arguing with each other.

The chairman angrily threw the document in his hand on the table and roared: "This Sebastian Xiao is simply playing with fire! We must take action immediately and cannot let his conspiracy succeed!"

The Chief Security Officer looked solemn and proposed to immediately mobilize all the company's security forces to strengthen the protection of the storage facility of Compound No. 5, and contact the relevant government departments to request support.

But some senior officials are concerned that doing so may lead to greater conflicts and further intensify contradictions.

Government departments were also overwhelmed by this sudden incident.

The White House held an emergency meeting. The president had a gloomy face and sat at the head of the conference table, listening to reports from all parties.

The head of the intelligence department walked quickly to the projector with a serious look on his face. He moved the laser pen in his hand quickly across the information on the screen and said, "Mr. President, after our in-depth investigation, Sebastian Shaw and the organization behind him should not be underestimated. Judging from their past activities and the flow of funds, all signs indicate that they may have been planning for a long time, and this public declaration of war is by no means accidental. Their actions have been carefully planned, and there may be some mysterious forces behind them that we have not yet grasped."

The Minister of Defense stood up suddenly, put his hands on the conference table, leaned forward, and suggested urgently: "The situation is urgent. I think we must immediately dispatch troops to encircle and suppress Xiao and his followers. We should catch them off guard before they can fully launch their actions and nip the danger in the bud. Otherwise, the consequences will be disastrous."

The Minister of Justice frowned, shook his head slowly, and retorted, "Wait a minute, Minister of Defense. Once the army is dispatched, it will inevitably cause large-scale armed conflict. Nowadays, the public is highly concerned about the issue of superpowers. Such actions are likely to arouse public resentment and further deteriorate the situation. I think we should first try to resolve the issue through negotiations and find a peaceful solution to avoid unnecessary bloodshed."
