Become a Homelander and a Marvel superstar

The moment the live broadcast signal was cut off, the world was plunged into panic for viewers on Earth.

But the battle continues in the orbit of Ego.

That crimson storm, imbued with all of Azu's rage and burning through 30 million popularity points per minute, showed no sign of abating.

It ruthlessly dissected the blue torrent spewed out by Igor.

That was pure energy crushing.

Going against the current, they blasted a hole through the star onto that enormous rocky face that spanned thousands of kilometers.

The grotesque human face collapsed instantly, and a transparent hole thousands of kilometers in diameter appeared at the center of Ego Star, with molten magma still pulsating at the edges.

From a distance, it looks just like a donut coated in syrup.

Azu floated in space, his heart pounding violently.

At this moment, the familiar system notification sounded in his mind:

"Warning: The current host's popularity value has fallen below the current level maintenance threshold."

"Popularity rating is about to drop..."

Azu's brow twitched, and before he could even feel sorry for her, the next notification followed.

"Host has been found to possess a 'Popularity Level Penalty Exemption Order'."

"The exemption mechanism has been triggered, and the penalty has been offset."

"Remaining uses of the exemption order: 2/3".

These notification sounds were like a bucket of cold water, extinguishing the almost insane destructive urge in Azu's heart.

"Stop! Stop this injustice!"

Ah Zu slammed on the brakes in his mind.

A pang of heartache shot through me.

That's hundreds of millions of popularity points! Just like that, gone...

As the Injustice form was dispelled, the jet-black battle suit on his body quickly faded, returning to its original red and blue star-spangled flag colors.

The raging dark red light in his eyes gradually subsided.

The terrifying power that filled my body, seemingly capable of destroying everything, receded like the tide, leaving behind a deep sense of emptiness.

He looked down at his hands, recalling those few minutes when he activated the high-powered "Injustice Form" for the last time, feeling as if he had become something purer... destruction itself.

Not just Igor, but even the distant stars, and even the entire universe.

Everything became extremely offensive to him, and he felt an urge to destroy them all.

"If I drive any longer, I'm afraid I'll turn into that hairless old cat named Beerus..."

Suddenly, his super vision caught something unusual.

At the heart of that blasted-through planet, amidst a chaotic flow of energy, a faint blue flash attempted to escape into the depths of space under the cover of the explosion.

Azu focused his vision and saw a blue brain about ten meters in diameter, its surface covered with crisscrossing lines.

That was Igor's brain.

Just a second before the destructive torrent was about to engulf the planet, this cunning old thing decisively severed all ties with its physical body, abandoned most of its divine power, compressed its core brain to about 10 meters, and ejected it from the depths of the Earth's core.

He gave up almost everything he owned just to save his life.

"Heh..." Azu sneered. "Trying to run?"

"It burned through hundreds of millions of my popularity points and even used up one of my immunity tokens..."

"Now you think you can just walk away like this?"

"There's no such thing as a free lunch!"

Azu's figure left a trail of afterimages in the vacuum as he chased after the blue brain.

Igor clearly sensed the killing intent behind him. The light on the surface of his brain flickered wildly, and he stopped sneaking away and his speed increased dramatically.

As a god who had lived for countless years, he had never felt such fear as he did today. His body was gone, his proud divine power had been directly shattered, and now only this most vulnerable core remained.

As long as the brain is still there, given a few thousand years, it can re-condense matter and become a planet again.

But the prerequisite is that he has to survive!

The menacing figure behind him clearly had no intention of giving him that chance.

"Get out of here!! You lunatic!!"

Igor's consciousness waves vibrated wildly in space, filled with dread.

"Didn't you want to assimilate the universe?" Azu's voice was transmitted to Ego's mind through Asgardian magic.

"Didn't you want to be eternal?"

"Don't run away! Come back and let's talk about the meaning of life again!"

The distance between the two is constantly decreasing.

Having lost most of his divine power, Ego was unable to escape this monster with the power stored in his brain alone.

1,000 kilometers... 500 kilometers... 100 kilometers...

"You think you've won? Mortal!!" Igor's mental roar was deafening.

He suddenly stopped fleeing, and his nerve tendrils, which had been drifting backward, suddenly stretched forward, weaving into a complex geometric shape.

A gravitational singularity cage! That's his unique application of the rules of the universe.

Om-!

Azu felt as if the space around him suddenly froze.

The originally flat space of space was transformed into an extremely complex gravitational vortex under Igor's manipulation.

Up, down, left, right, all directions point to the center.

He was locked in a gravitational space with a radius of less than ten meters.

"Hahaha!"

Ego's brain floated outside the cage, letting out a wild laugh of relief.

"You're very strong, really very strong."

"But you are ultimately a living organism. As long as you are matter, you cannot escape the bondage of gravity!"

Ah Zu tried moving his fingers.

Very heavy.

It felt like a mountain was pressing down on me.

But Azu didn't panic, and his expression didn't change at all.

He looked at that arrogant brain through that layer of distorted gravitational waves.

"That's it?" His voice was flat, with a hint of sarcasm.

"Who do you think I am?"

"I am a citizen of my homeland."

"I can go wherever I want!"

next second.

"System, Unjust Form, activated. Burning Rate: One Million."

boom!!

Power erupted from his body once again.

Although it lacked the destructive power it had before, it was enough to deal with a brain that was barely clinging to life.

Click—!

That seemingly indestructible gravitational cage was directly broken through by Azu.

The miniature black holes that form gravitational cages devour and annihilate each other after losing their balance, disappearing from sight.

Azu took a step forward and arrived in front of Igor's brain in the blink of an eye.

"Old man..." Azu looked at him coldly, "It's time to say goodnight."

Igor was in despair.

Can't escape.

We can't beat them.

It can't be contained.

All his methods and divine power were like child's tricks in the face of this unreasonable monster who seemed to never tire.

But he was not willing to give up.

He is a god! He is the sower of the universe! He cannot die like a lowly insect!

Igor's brain began to contract violently, and the original blue light began to turn deep purple.

"If I have to die... then you can forget about living in this universe!!"

He ignited his remaining primordial divine power, not to attack, but to open a passage.

A black hole passage connecting to the edge of the universe is used to banish Azu to the antimatter universe, but the price is that he is too weakened to escape.

Between Azu and Igor, the space collapsed without warning.

"That is..." Azu's expression changed.
