Chapter 308 The Death of Storm Girl

Rune and Hughie were taken away separately. Rune was taken to a separate room, which was strictly speaking a former solitary confinement cell. It was quiet all around, and only a fluorescent light flickered on the low ceiling, illuminating the simple table and chairs in the room.

Storm stood behind Rune with a cruel expression on her face—no one knew that she still worshipped Hill and his ideas, while she had already used the name of this sanctuary to carry out ethnic cleansing after this disaster. Those two stupid women hadn't realized that most of the people they had let in were actually Aryans.

Of course, to avoid suspicion, she would still include a small number of other races' "creatures," since Aryans also need servants to serve them.

Storm Woman scrutinized the man, her eyes narrowing slightly. Others might not notice, but she could discern the filthy ancestry etched on his handsome face. She tapped the table with her knuckles, the sound dull and clear. "What are you doing here?"

"I'm just here to exchange for some supplies." Rune said calmly, not yet recognizing the other person.

"Oh? How can I be sure you're not a spy sent by those damned robots?" Storm asked coldly.

Rune was speechless, but if there really were other Terminator models, then it was very possible for robots to invade the entire shelter without the humans noticing. Most of the Terminator models he and Hughie had encountered along the way were T-1s, which had tank tracks and did not have human forms. However, when Rune first saved Hughie, he killed a T-400.

Starting with the T-600, the Terminator gained the ability to disguise itself. Initially, it was simply a design that adopted a skeletal structure closer to that of humans, and then covered it with a layer of synthetic glue to imitate human skin and cover up mechanical parts. By the time of the T-900, it not only inherited the appearance of the design prototype, but also implanted the memory of the design prototype, making the machine completely believe that it is an ordinary human, so as to achieve the freedom of "deep infiltration". Later models can even switch freely between solid and liquid states, deeply simulating the appearance of humans.

However, Rune has not seen any models after the T-800; they may all be hidden in some human shelters.

But that was not the reason Storm interrogated him.

"Isn't there any equipment here that can distinguish between robots and humans?" Rune asked rhetorically. But he didn't expect that his question would make Storm's expression turn extremely ugly.

Storm's disdain instantly turned to anger; she hadn't expected this young man to dare correct her. And so, she was consumed by rage.

"Shut up! You yellow-skinned monkey!" She slammed her hands on the table, and an arc of electricity, which was extremely conspicuous in the dark environment, appeared, charring one side of the table, but did not harm Rune in the slightest.

He glanced at the lightning bolt, then coldly looked at Storm: "Controlling lightning?"

"My abilities are far more than that," Storm sneered. "I can control the weather! I am the god of this refuge; here, I am the true god!"

However, Rune merely waved his hand, and the invisible dark power knocked Storm to the ground. The absolute difference in strength left Storm with no chance to resist. Even though Rune didn't use Kryptonian powers, and even though he didn't use artifacts like the Ultimate Eraser or brass knuckles, pure dark magic was enough to defeat this woman.

"God?" After hearing the other party introduce his abilities, Rune finally realized who this guy was. He then lifted Storm's hair and sneered, "Your strength comes from Compound V, not from so-called superior genes. I'm glad that a nanomolecule like you can die by my hand."

"Oh right!" Rune suddenly remembered something and said with a smile, "Your soap-making skills are quite something I could learn. Would you be interested in teaching me?"

Stormgirl had never suffered such humiliation, so taking advantage of Rune's inattention, she suddenly took flight, actually breaking free of her restraints and crashing into the confinement chamber in the process. She stared intently at the man beneath her feet, a commotion that naturally attracted the attention of the others. However, she had subconsciously ignored this.

In her own eyes, Storm was the pillar that allowed this sanctuary to survive, and the Aryans were the rulers of this world. Therefore, she was unwilling to think about the deeper meaning behind Rune's words, what Compound V, what soap, she just wanted to kill Rune.

Then she roared, "You inferior creature, you have no idea what my true power is!"

She swooped down from the sky and released electricity from her hands, but to her surprise, lightning also flashed in Rune's hands. But she didn't know that it wasn't a superpower, but magic—Bosat's Lightning.

With Rune's will, the thunderstorm easily engulfed Storm's attack, turning her into charred remains—the entire process taking less than three seconds. The battle between the two superpowered beings naturally attracted Starlight and others. Queen Maeve had already left the shelter to search for supplies.

Approaching this foolish woman, Rune gestured to her.

"Stop pretending to be dead, I know you're still alive."

He didn't use his full strength at all, otherwise this racist woman would have been dead long ago.

Storm Girl spoke with difficulty, saying, "Are you—are you mocking me?"

"Of course." Rune nodded. Her hair had long been burned to ash by the high temperature of the lightning, and her whole body was scalded. She was no longer as beautiful as before, so although her clothes had also turned to ashes, no one would have any desire for her.

Suppressing her discomfort, she raised her head to look directly at Rune, but Rune used magic to fuse her into a fleshy cube. The truth is, most of the heroes in this universe are incredibly weak. Rune reasonably suspects that the Deep Sea might not be able to defeat Daredevil, but their level of depravity is simply outrageous.

Rune finally understood the thoughts and intentions of those villains who wanted to destroy the world. If he had joined The Boys before the world was destroyed by the Terminator, he might have killed all the superpowered people in the world in place of the Terminator.

"Pathetic racists, Nax the Giant Baby with superpowers by sheer luck—."

Pfft!

The chunk of flesh in Rune's hand was crushed to pieces. Although it was only the size of a palm, it was still a compressed whole person, so the exploding flesh and blood flew everywhere, making it particularly shocking.

"What did you do?"

Rune turned his head and looked at the guy who still dared to come closer.

She was a thin girl with a wary and determined look in her eyes. Her bones protruded, and she always looked very tired. Right now, she was puzzled by the unidentified object that Rune had crushed.

"Heh." Rune chuckled coldly in a low voice, "Just killing an inferior creature."
