The Savior of American Comics? I'm the Subspace Evil God!

Chapters 397, 710, and 711: Homelander: Then kill them all and frame them…

Can't you even start your sentence yourself?
Nick Fury's lips twitched slightly. Damn it, I hate it more than anything when people use my words to ask me a question!

"Ahem, Homelander, I think you might have misunderstood something..."

Although he had already mentally cursed every woman in his ancestors for eighteen generations, Nick Fury still had to patiently explain:

"Since Spider-Woman killed a criminal who was very important to S.H.I.E.L.D., I just wanted to bring her back to S.H.I.E.L.D. to ask her about the whole incident."

Nick Fury believed that Homelander was unlikely to kill him, but he couldn't be sure that this lawless bastard wouldn't target the other Avengers.

Although the Avengers were founded by him and S.H.I.E.L.D., ultimately it is just a private organization and is not affiliated with any official agency.

So even if Homelander slaughtered the entire Avengers, he was powerless against them.

Even if Homelander didn't kill them, but instead crippled or seriously injured Captain America and the others, it would still be an absolutely unbearable loss for Nick Fury and S.H.I.E.L.D.

After all, facing the rising power of the Subspace Corporation, Nick Fury had long since reached the point where he had no one left to rely on besides the members of the Avengers.

This is the fundamental reason why he has placed all of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s current focus on the Titan Hunter mech project.

He must first find a 'key pivot' that can leverage Karl Mara and the Subspace Group to play a decisive role on a global scale.

Otherwise, for Nick Fury and S.H.I.E.L.D., this would become a war they could never win!

and so……

For now, Nick Fury has no choice but to back down and let things take their course.

However, Nick Fury secretly vowed that he would one day get back tenfold, a hundredfold, from Homelander and the Vought Organization for the face he had lost here today.

And just as Nick Fury had guessed, despite Homelander's extremely assertive demeanor from the moment he appeared, which to outsiders seemed as if he was ready to wreak havoc, it was actually just a routine act.

Even if he's usually a bit of a 'madman,' he wouldn't actually kill Nick Fury, the director of S.H.I.E.L.D.

Otherwise, he would become a 'global public enemy,' and even the [Wot Group] wouldn't be able to protect him.

The level of attention that the people of the motherland care about most will inevitably plummet to rock bottom in an instant.

In this regard, the people of the motherland understand better than anyone else what should and should not be done!

But there's a prerequisite... that is, the people of his motherland must have the face they deserve.

Otherwise, I'll just go on a killing spree!
"They didn't do anything to you, right?"

Homelander landed slowly on the ground, turned to look at Gwen beside him, and asked, "If you want to make a move, we can kill them all here and then frame them..."

His gaze swept over the two corpses on the ground, finally settling on Adrian Tooms, who was covered in blood, standing to the side. "Then we'll use him as a scapegoat!"

……

[Reputation +666, +666, +666...]

Σ(°△°|||)︴

isn't it?
Did you consider my feelings when you said that to my face?

Sitting in the house, Adrian Thomson felt a chill run down his spine when the pot fell from the sky, because he knew that, given the nature of his homelanders, they might actually do something so outrageous.

He suddenly regretted his previous actions.

If I hadn't chosen to take such an extreme path and instead started over, I probably wouldn't be facing such a perilous situation now.

He was not alone in feeling this way; a group of Avengers members shared the same sentiment.

Damn it, could this madman really be planning to do this?
Aside from the hotheaded [Thunderbolt] who was eager to test his skills against Homelander, everyone else's hearts were instantly on edge.

Gwen glanced at the group opposite her, who looked as if they were facing a formidable enemy, and ultimately decided to downplay the situation, so she shook her head and said:
"Forget it, it's not a big deal anyway, those two guys have already been killed."

"cut."

Homelander seemed to have anticipated Gwen's response, a slight upturn of his lips revealing his signature fake smile.

huh~~
Seeing this, Nick Fury and the others secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and for a moment, they even felt a sense of rebirth.

Thankfully, Spider-Woman isn't as insane as Homelander.

Otherwise, we probably won't see the sun tomorrow.

At that moment, Gwen had already stepped in front of Adrian Tooms, glanced at the still unconscious Murian girl in his arms, and said in a deep voice:
"I hope you can keep your promise and be a good father... Remember, don't let your child be ashamed because of you again, or you won't be so lucky next time!"

"I understand, thank you, Spider Woman."

Adrian Tooms, whose face was slightly pale from blood loss, nodded solemnly and said, "I will cherish this hard-won opportunity."

Gwen didn't say much, and then followed Homelander away from the church as if no one else was there.

"Weren't you busy with something?" Gwen asked curiously after leaving the church. "Why did you suddenly come here?"

Homelander stopped and looked at Gwen with a strange expression, saying, "Of course, it's because your little lizard sidekick called me that I knew you were here..."

"I have to remind you, you're now a member of the Super Seven, and also my on-screen partner, so you'd better end this pointless street performance art as soon as possible. I don't want my approval rating to be affected by your stupid behavior!"

"Also, I've been very busy lately, so please don't cause me any more trouble!"

After saying that, the man with the motherland bent his legs with a look of disgust, put his feet in an inward-pointing position, and then soared into the sky.

"Tch, who needs your help?" Gwen gestured with her lip in the direction Homelander had flown away, then shot a web towards a distant building. Her slender figure leaped high into the air and disappeared into the dark night in a few bounds.

……

A few hours later.

In the laboratory of the Sky Carrier.

"You mean... the symbiote within him really disappeared?"

Nick Fury stared at Bruce Banner across from him, his face ashen. After learning from Adrian Tooms that the symbiote on Bruce Banner had been devoured by Carnage, Nick Fury had specifically sent someone to bring Bruce Banner, a top physicist, over to verify the truth of the matter.

There's nothing we can do about it; Tony Stark and Reed Richards are currently very busy at the PPDC organization.

"If the detection equipment here hasn't malfunctioned, I think it's like this: his body has completely broken free from the [symbiote's] parasitism... Yes, he's free!"

Bruce Banner glanced at the data on the screen and reminded him with a wry smile, "However, his physical condition seems to be very poor. It seems that the [symbiote] severely overtaxed the health of his internal organs during the previous parasitism process."

"If nothing unexpected happens, he should only have two to three years left..."

However, Nick Fury ignored this. In his eyes, the life or death of a criminal was utterly insignificant, so he coldly said:
"His life or death is none of my concern. All I need to know is that there is no longer a symbiote in his body."

Then, looking at the paused footage on the large screen opposite, showing Captain America and the others fighting Adrian Tooms, he asked again:

"Dr. Banner, I want to know why the 12 symbiotes we brought back from the asteroid, even after finding suitable hosts, still couldn't demonstrate the same combat power as Adrian Tooms?"

"Aren't they the same kind of symbiote? Or does Adrian Tooms possess some special substance that others don't have?"

"This one……"

Upon hearing this, Bruce Banner looked slightly embarrassed and said half-jokingly, "Maybe it's because he's eaten enough heads?!"

Seeing that Nick Fury's face had visibly darkened even more, Bruce Banner quickly corrected him:

"Ahem, the answer to that question is still unknown, but one thing is certain: based on the information gathered by S.H.I.E.L.D., almost all the newly appeared symbiote warriors, except for Adrian Tooms, have fallen into a state of mental instability, or have even become puppets completely controlled by the symbiote..."

"The 12 symbiotes that S.H.I.E.L.D. captured from that asteroid did not exhibit any similar abnormalities after combining with their hosts. If we look at it from this point of view... yes, perhaps they really do not belong to the same type of symbiote."

"Furthermore, I suspect that the reason so many symbiote warriors have gone insane is that the consciousness of these symbiotes is controlled by the consciousness of an intelligent being similar to a 'hive mind,' capable of subjugating all symbiotes simply through a mental connection!"

“You mean…” Nick Fury narrowed his one eye, and a thought immediately flashed through his mind: [The Gods are coming!]

"Yes."

Bruce Banner had clearly guessed what the other party was thinking. After being brought to the Sky Carrier, he went through a lot of relevant information, hoping to find some clues that were related.

“Director Fury, I think perhaps the threat from space is real. Something is eyeing Earth… or something on Earth?”

Nick Fury asked with a grim face, "Dr. Banner, are you serious?"

"Yes."

Bruce Banner shrugged, sounding like he was complaining or grumbling, and said, "If I had the chance to study those symbiote warriors directly, instead of just making judgments based on these videos, I might be able to give more accurate experimental results."

"Your reasoning is brilliant, Dr. Banner."

Knowing he was in the wrong, Nick Fury nodded slightly and said with a hint of encouragement, "Don't worry, it won't be long before my people bring you a live symbiote warrior. I hope you can provide a more comprehensive experimental report then."

"Also... I hope you can find a way to make those 12 'Symbiotic Rangers (referring specifically to the [Hunter Mech] pilots)' stronger as soon as possible."

Without waiting for Bruce Banner's reply, Nick Fury turned and left the laboratory, striding through a long corridor into the interrogation room where Adrian Tooms was being held.

"Liz...how is my daughter?"

Upon seeing Nick Fury enter the room, Adrian Tooms, whose hands were handcuffed to the table, immediately asked excitedly.

“You have no right to ask me questions here.”

Nick Fury, with his hands clasped behind his back and a blank expression, said, "From now on, you need to answer every single one of my questions truthfully, or... you'll never see your family again in your life."

Adrian Tooms's face contorted with rage upon hearing this, but he managed to suppress it.

There was nothing he could do; his daughter was still in the other party's hands.
Furthermore, he is currently a wanted prisoner...

"Ask away, what do you want to know?"

What exactly happened that day at Ravencraft Prison?

"That day..."

Soon, Adrian Tooms recounted everything he had seen and heard in the prison that day, as well as how he had become a symbiote warrior, to the cold-faced black man in front of him.

Nick Fury did not raise any objections after hearing this, but if Black Widow or Maria Hill, who knew him well, were present, they would have been able to see the fanaticism hidden behind his cold expression in his eyes.

Indeed, when Nick Fury heard Adrian Tooms say that all the prisoners in Ravencraft Prison had been turned into symbiote warriors by the Void Knights, his heart skipped a beat.

Keep in mind, that's nearly five thousand symbiotes!

With such a massive number, capturing even half... no, just a third, or even a tenth, would be of immense benefit to the ongoing Titan Hunter Mech Project and the upcoming Symbiote Soldier Project.

No wonder he was excited!

However, the cautious Nick Fury, who never showed his emotions, stared at Adrian Tooms for a moment before continuing to ask:
"Who is the true identity of that Void Knight?"
