Become a Homelander and a Marvel superstar

Azu looked at the meek and submissive steel body before him and a satisfied smile appeared on his lips.

He lifted the Masterball.

"Come back, Igor."

A beam of red light shot out from the Master Ball, enveloping Superman Ego.

There was no resistance, no struggle. Superman's enormous body transformed into a stream of red particles and was sucked into the small sphere.

"Click".

Azu pressed the button and threw the Master Ball again.

With a flash of white light, Superman Ego reappeared in space, still in a ready-to-go posture.

"Perfect."

"How are you feeling?" Azu asked.

Superman Ego raised his hands, clenched his fists, and looked excited.

Although its current power is limited, as long as this body is given enough time to bask in the sun and the limitations in its genes are gradually unlocked, it may even be able to hunt down members of the Celestials in the future.

"and……"

Superman Ego closed his eyes and recalled.

"In his remaining memories, I discovered a very interesting piece of information."

Deep within Earth's Arctic glaciers lies a Kryptonian outpost. The original owner of this body called it the Lonely Fortress.

Igor opened his eyes and looked toward the far north of the Earth.

"That was a Kryptonian exploration spaceship that crashed on Earth ten thousand years ago. According to the memories, the spaceship not only carried the core technologies of Krypton's Golden Age, but more importantly, it contained a complete chamber for the origin of life."

"The Chamber of Origin of Life?" Azu's eyes lit up slightly, his interest completely ignited.

"What is it used for?"

"The Origin Chamber is the core facility for the Kryptonians to reproduce," Ego explained. "The Kryptonians have long abandoned natural reproduction. Through the Origin Chamber, they artificially customize each new life according to the needs of society. They set their physiological characteristics, intellectual tendencies, and social roles at the genetic level, such as warriors, scientists, leaders, or laborers."

"And the ultimate key to activating and editing these genomes is the Codex of Life. And now, the Codex is within my body."

Azu stroked his chin, and an image immediately flashed into his mind of a group of arrogant aliens covered in gold dust.

"It sounds like another Sovereign."

"No, Master. This is far superior to Sovereign."

Igor made no attempt to hide his disdain. "Sovelin's genetic engineering went astray. In their pursuit of so-called 'perfection' and 'purity,' they removed all the wildness and variables from the genes. The result was a bunch of flawed products with only flashy appearances, extreme arrogance, and cowardice."

"The Kryptonian Origin Chamber is designed to adapt to the harshest survival environments in the universe. Given sufficient energy and matter, we can use it to create a Kryptonian army that is absolutely loyal and invincible!"

An army of Kryptonians.

These words struck Azu's heart heavily, causing his heart, which had always only cared about personal influence, to pound wildly for the first time.

If only we could pack up the entire Origin of Life Chamber and take it with us...

Once back in the Marvel Universe, he'll find an uninhabited planet and build a base. Given time, he can assemble an invincible army composed entirely of Supermen.

Thanos's Dark Order, the Celestials, the Dimensional Demons—all were reduced to ashes under the intense heat of thousands of Kryptonian warriors.

"lead the way.

Azu's eyes gleamed brightly.

"Go to that lonely fortress."

……

Arctic glaciers.

A fierce wind whipped up a blizzard, and the vast, white ice field stretched as far as the eye could see.

"Boom! Boom!"

Two sonic booms exploded in the sky above the ice field, scattering the snow that filled the air.

Azu and Igor were suspended in mid-air, with a huge iceberg below them.

"It's down there, Master."

Igor leaped forward and placed his palm on the identification terminal next to the door.

The Kryptonian's biometric information was verified instantly.

"laugh--"

The heavy doors slid open slowly to both sides.

The two slowly stepped inside.

Azu examined the internal structure of the spaceship.

The style here is completely different from anything created by humans on Earth.

There were no intricate circuits, no boxy control consoles. All the structures exhibited an organically grown crystalline morphology.

After walking down a long corridor, they arrived at the spaceship's main control room.

The place was a mess. Countless crystal fragments were scattered all over the ground. Several thick energy transmission pipes were broken, with obvious burn marks at the cuts.

"It seems there was a very unpleasant dispute here." Azu kicked away a broken crystal plate.

"These are traces left by Zod." Igor's gaze swept around. "Back then, Zod tried to seize control of the ship and destroyed the ship's main AI, Joel."

"The system is functioning perfectly, and the hardware in the Origin of Life Chamber is ready to be activated at any time." Igor checked the data, then frowned slightly. "However, Master, we face a problem."

"Speak." Azu walked to an empty amber chamber and tapped on the tough crystal shell.

"Materials." Igor frowned, his expression grave.

"To cultivate Kryptonian embryos, a radioactive mineral element unique to Krypton needs to be introduced as a stabilizer. It can stabilize the gene chain and prevent gene collapse during the cultivation process."

"Krypton has already been blown into cosmic dust, where am I supposed to find Kryptonian native elements?" Azu frowned.

"Zod carried a batch of samples of this element back then," Ego explained. "But... in Superman's memory, those samples were destroyed along with the ship during the subsequent battle to prevent Zod's plan from succeeding."

"What a spendthrift," Ah Zu cursed.

Suddenly, he remembered something.

Azu flipped his wrist and took out the exquisite green dagger from his magic pocket.

"How about this?" Azu tossed the knife to Igor.

Ego caught the knife steadily. Superman's instincts made his body feel weak the moment it touched the kryptonite. But he was Ego now, and he immediately used his divine power to shield himself from the discomfort caused by the radiation.

"Kryptonite..." Ego nodded. "It's extremely pure. This is indeed a radioactive fragment produced after the Krypton explosion. A small amount of isotopes can be extracted, which is exactly what the Origin Chamber needs."

"As long as it works, that's fine." Azu's spirits lifted. "How many Supermen can this knife create?"

Igor shook his head.

"The amount is too little, Master. The effective radioactive elements that this knife can extract can barely maintain the genetic stability of three embryos at most."

"Three? That's fine, better than nothing." Azu waved his hand. "How long will it take for them to grow to your size and be capable of fighting?"

"If we turn the life accelerator to its maximum power and force catalysis," Igor assessed, "it would take at least nine months for an embryo to develop into a fully adult individual."

Time is not the problem, the problem is not having time.

Moreover, it's pointless to cultivate them if you can't take them with you.

"Master, is there a problem?" Igor noticed Azu's hesitation.

Azu bluntly asked, "If you moved this Origin Chamber, could you rebuild it in another location?"
