Become a Homelander and a Marvel superstar

"Save you? So you can go back and keep eating my rice noodles?" Azu looked at him coldly.

"No... I... I can be your servant... I have... knowledge... I have power..."

This once invincible god is now begging for mercy like a dog.

His voice was growing weaker and weaker, and his size had shrunk by nearly half.

"A servant?"

Azu touched his chin.

Although this guy is a cunning old fox, it has to be said that as a god, he might be useful in the future.

"Alright."

Azu flipped his wrist.

A uniquely shaped metal ball, purple and white in color, appeared in his hand.

The surface of the sphere is engraved with a white "M" and looks ordinary, like a toy.

This is the golden legend he drew using 100,000 special popularity points when he was on Igor Star.

【Super Master Ball (System Special Edition)】

[Note: This device is capable of capturing any non-human life form with 100% accuracy, converting it into a particle stream that is then absorbed into the sphere.]

The captured object is subjected to forced will adaptation, making it absolutely obedient and loyal to the capturer.

"100% capture? Forced brainwashing?"

Azu looked at the ball in his hand, his mouth stretching to his ears in a wide grin.

"System, the things you gave me this time are really...so thoughtful."

"Hey, big head."

Azu lifted the Masterball and struck a perfectly standard throwing pose.

"You're lucky."

"Although you have lost the right to be a human being, you have gained a more promising job."

"Go! Master Ball!!"

With a flick of his wrist, Azu sent the Master Ball flying like a streak of light, striking precisely at Igor's remaining core.

"Click".

The sphere bounced off, and a red beam of light shot out from its center, enveloping the rapidly dying Ego.

"No!! What is this?! No—!!"

To Igor's horror, he discovered that he was being uncontrollably assimilated into a stream of red particles and sucked into the small sphere.

"Smack."

The Master Ball closed, and a red light flashed at its center.

a bit.

Two times.

Three times.

"Deng→Deng→Deng→Deng↘Deng↗"

After the "Ignore the Rules" sound effect plays, the red light turns white, which is a sign of successful capture.

"Done."

He stored the Master Ball in Magic Dimension.

Now, it's time to go home.

Azu raised his right hand, the golden ring appearing somewhat dim in the faint glow of the gemstone's energy.

"..."

An embarrassing thing happened.

Not even a spark appeared in the void.

Azu didn't believe in superstitions and drew another circle.

Still no response.

"I need to send it..."

Azu frowned.

"Now look what's happened. We were fine when we came here, but we can't go back."

Maintaining the Reality Stone requires enormous resources. Although his physique is strong, it cannot withstand such endless consumption.

"There must be a way..."

Azu flipped his hand and took out the Master Ball again.

"Come out, Igor."

A flash of white light.

A blue brain, only five meters in size, appeared in front of Azu.

This is Ego's current form; though miniature, it still exudes the aura of a god.

"Master".

A respectful voice resonated in the void.

"Igor awaits your command; your will is my guide, your..."

"Shut up!" Ah Zu interrupted him. "Tell me, how do I get out of this godforsaken place?"

"this……"

Igor's light flickered, as if he hesitated.

"Reporting to Master, that passage was one-way."

"The rules and elemental arrangement of the antimatter universe are special... My abilities are ineffective here; I cannot break through the dimensional barriers."

"Alright... since we can't go back to the conventional methods..." Azu sighed and put Igor back into the Master Ball.

"Then... that's the only option."

A flash of light, and a light note landed in Azu's hand.

"Rip—!"

As Azu tore a corner.

A dazzling meteor streaked across the void, trailing blazing flames, like an intercontinental missile locked onto its target, hurtling straight toward Azu's crown!

Ah Zu was stunned; it felt so familiar.

boom--!!!

Ah Zu has disappeared...

……

Time is relative.

Especially when it comes to interdimensional and antimatter universes.

In Azu's mind, he only stayed in this awful place for a short while.

But for Earth in a matter-of-fact universe...

Three days.

A full seventy-two hours have passed.

During these three days, everyone at Walter was plunged into unprecedented anxiety and depression.

Ordinary people gathered in churches, squares, and even on the streets to light candles and pray for the man who disappeared into the starry sky.

In the plaza in front of the Water Tower, flowers have been piled up into a small mountain.

Countless cards written by people in various languages ​​converge into one sentence:

"Come back, Homelander."

VGD headquarters, hangar.

The place is brightly lit, and the arc of the welding torch burns day and night.

A brand-new spacecraft is quietly parked on the launch pad.

Its appearance is more rugged than the previous "Homelander One", with thicker armor and a larger engine.

"Turn the thruster power up! You stupid tin man! Can't you hurry up?!"

Rocket Raccoon leaped onto the cockpit, its eyes bloodshot, and roared at Tony, who was hiding inside the engine nozzle.

"Shut up, you stinky cat!"

Tony leaned halfway out of the engine, his face covered in engine oil, waving a laser welding torch in his hand.

"You think this is like building Lego?! This is about constructing a spaceship capable of hyperspace jumps in three days! I'm risking my life! Do you understand?!"

Although they were hurling insults at each other, their hands never stopped moving.

This is the result of Tony Stark and Rocket Raccoon's three days of tireless work—"Homelander 2".

"Thruster calibration complete, energy core output stabilized at 120%!" Dr. Banner shouted at the control panel. "Ready to ignite at any time!"

"Okay!" Tony threw down the welding torch and wiped the sweat from his face.

"Notify everyone, we're about to depart."

……

Half an hour later.

The boarding gate for Homelander II.

Jessica was wearing a black, tight-fitting combat suit and carrying a huge tactical backpack. Her eyes were red and swollen, clearly indicating that she had cried a lot in the past three days.

Wanda's face was somewhat pale, but she hadn't shed a single tear in the past three days. She simply sat silently in the hangar, staring intently at the ship's construction progress.

The Guardians of the Galaxy were also fully armed.

Just as everyone was preparing to board the plane.

"Whoosh—whoosh—"

The roar of an engine came from the horizon.
