Butcher didn't think Locke's note was just a coincidence. He believed that the damn superpowered bastard was definitely doing it on purpose, just to warn them not to try anything funny.

It's obvious that even after being locked up for a year, this bastard knows them very well, and he also knows Walter very well, which must be because he has some kind of special superpower.

For example, predicting the future.

Thinking of this, the butcher's heart sank. He knew this was definitely not a good thing, but there was nothing he could do now. Whatever this damned superpowered psychopath was up to, they had no other choice.

"Billy?"

The urging voice on the other end of the phone interrupted his thoughts. He came back to his senses, looked at the note that Xiu Yi had placed in front of him, and decided that he should tell the truth about breastfeeding.

"Soldier Boy is the biological father of Homelander."

"WTF?"

After a brief moment of shock, the breast milk quickly realized, "Wait a minute, how did the butcher know about this explosive news?"

How did you know?

"It's a long story. We went to Elmira and rescued someone from inside. He even squeezed Elmira like a rubber ball right in front of us, and then used the ball to beat Homelander until he was incoherent."

Perhaps thinking of Homelander's miserable state, the Butcher's tone unconsciously became cheerful. It was a pity that Locke couldn't kill Homelander on the spot, which made him very regretful.

"...Okay, you're right this time, but what about the soldier boy?"

"What should we do? This isn't something you should be saying. Don't you want to kill him? Think about what he did to your family."

"I want to, I dream about, but I don't have any weapon right now that can kill him!!!"

Now the butcher understood why Mother Milk had made that phone call. The three of them, in a foreign country, were uneasy. Even if Mother Milk still wanted to kill the soldier boy, she had to consider the Frenchman and Kimiko and temporarily put aside her murderous intent.

The butcher's gaze returned to the note. Looking at Locke's comments, an idea suddenly formed in his mind. A signature crooked smile appeared on his face as he teasingly said to the breastfeeding mother:

"Then bring him back and let our Mr. Hope handle it, because it seems like he's quite interested in the soldier boy. Bring him back."

——————————————————————————————————————————————

While they were discussing how to deal with the soldier boy outside, Locke, who was full and satisfied, couldn't wait to return to the dream world.

When he fell back into his dream, a vast expanse of lush green grass stretched out before him, with warm sunlight filtering down gently, carrying a touch of soft warmth.

He leaned against a large, leafy tree and slowly opened his eyes. The first thing his fingertips touched was a rough, charred scar on the trunk, as if it had been burned by a raging fire and had not yet healed.

However, he had no interest in exploring these details now; he only wanted to find another group of himself, a group of people who would never betray him... his own people.

He walked in one direction for a while, and soon the once boundless lawn came to an end, merging with other dreams. At the junction of the dreams, a group of Locke, dressed differently but looking the same, were waiting for him.

"Hey! Over here!"

After responding to Pirate Locke, the black-robed Locke skillfully sat down beside him, looked around, and then identified his other selves based on shared memories.

The child-like figure is Hogwarts Locke.

The spiky-haired guy with dead fish eyes is Naruto Rock.

The person next to him, dressed in linen clothes, is the pirate Locke.

With the addition of himself, there were exactly four of them. The system fragments attached to the souls of the four people together were enough to complete the basic functions, allowing their second cheat to finally start working.

The four of them didn't say anything, but shook hands upon meeting, successfully sharing their memories once again, before starting to communicate.

Pirate Locke: "What a pity. Although Old Man is a big shot, it's a shame he couldn't break through Homelander's defenses in a short time. Otherwise, he could have speedrun him. Putting everything else aside, the superpowered beings in the Black Robe World are really as hard to kill as Schrödinger. They're both fragile and tough."

Hogwartslock: "It's fine if we don't kill Azu, the main thing is Azu and Cypher, let them fight like dogs with Azu."

Naruto Locke: "That makes sense."

Faced with the others' attempts to take care of him, Locke in his black robes waved his hand and said magnanimously:

"Send it all to your own people, who are you putting on an act for? What the hell are you doing? Do you think we're that fragile? We've all escaped, what are we afraid of?"

Seeing that Locke in black robes was so relaxed, the other three shrugged and breathed a sigh of relief.

Naruto Locke: "You can't really blame me, buddy. It's just that your treatment is absolutely terrible. I thought being a slave was bad enough for pirates, but I didn't expect you to be treated like this."

Pirate Locke: "Indeed, I was a little angry at first, but then I suddenly owed more than two thousand popularity points. With a minimum usage limit of ten popularity points, I had to come to your rescue more than two hundred times. You really suffered, bro."

Thinking about the hardships of the past year, Locke in black robes still felt a little uneasy, but he didn't show it to his good brothers, after all, they had already escaped.

There's plenty of time in the future, isn't there?

Locke in black robes: "Let's not talk about that anymore. Let's talk about the system. How's your research going?"

Naruto Locke: "After some research, we can now select fixed character cards and earn popularity points by completing tasks using these fixed character cards."

After saying that, the four of them simultaneously opened their system panels, and just as Naruto Locke had said.

Hogwartslock added randomly:

"However, we haven't made a choice yet, so we don't know exactly how to earn it. But the good news is that the bug we used to exchange popularity points still works."

One Piece's Rock: "In other words, we can concentrate the debt on one person first, without having to rush to repay it. There's zero interest, no installments, and you can repay whenever you want."

Hearing this, Locke in the black robe felt a huge weight lifted from his heart. After all, it was because of him that everyone owed more than two thousand popularity points, and he still felt a little guilty.

Locke in black robes: "In that case, I'll release the popularity points I owe you for now..."

Hogwarts: "Put it here with me."

Upon hearing this, Locke in black robes was speechless, while the Hogwarts Locke, who appeared as a child, explained with a serious expression:

"What danger is there in going to school? Even if Voldemort came and dared to use Avada Kedavra on me, I would immediately teach him what it means to be a nobody."

Naruto Rock: "You started it first, right?"

Pirate Locke: "What are you saying? What are you talking about? If I say it, you're considered a cuckold."

Seeing this, Locke in the black robe felt a warmth in his heart, but he didn't say anything more. He simply opened the panel to check the character cards he could select.

To be honest, there are a lot of options. In addition to the initial five character cards, there are also nearly two hundred emergency character cards that he unlocked in the first half of the year.

However, he wasn't interested in those powerful character cards; instead, he was drawn to a character who was clearly a late-game character.

[Hungry Wolf]

[Character Type: Film and Television Adaptation Character]

Race: Mortal

[Playing a branch: Anti-hero]

[Current global compatibility: 96%]

Although he didn't understand what this role-playing branch meant, he guessed that it was based on compatibility, and perhaps the speed at which he gained popularity was also related to the character's behavior.

In this world teeming with superheroes, what could be more fitting for Locke's role than a hero hunter?

After all, this time, he and these heroes truly had a deep-seated hatred for each other.

He once said that if he wanted to make Walter suffer, he should start with the heroes under his command.
