Begin from the original form of torture and become immortal

Chapter 1572: A-Zu is released from prison
"The case of the Homelanders attacking the Black Chapter Department and the Black Chapter Department's chief Chang Wei is now in court."

The Chief Prosecutor stood up, took a few steps forward, looked Homelander in the eye, and began to state the charges: "Homelander, standing in the dock, used his awesome yet misused superpowers to launch an unprovoked attack on the Black Chapter on [specific date] without any justifiable cause."

As he spoke, he raised his hand and made attacking gestures in the air, as if trying to recreate the tragic scene at that time.

"This attack was like a nightmare, causing serious damage to the facilities of the Black Chapter Department, with buildings collapsing, equipment being scrapped, and the scene in ruins. Even more tragically, many staff members were killed or injured in this disaster. Some of them were protecting their duties, while others were unfortunately caught up in the flames of war and lost their precious lives, or were seriously injured and will spend the rest of their lives in pain."

The prosecutor paused for a moment, took a deep breath, and his expression became more serious. "The worst thing is that he attacked Mr. Chang Wei, the head of the Black Chapter Department. The Black Chapter Department is a key agency for maintaining social order and managing superpowers, and its authority is unquestionable. The behavior of the motherland is not only a direct provocation to the Black Chapter Department, but also a serious disruption of the entire social order. It is a blatant violation of national laws and the superpower management system we have carefully constructed. If this behavior is not punished as it should be, it will bring an extremely dangerous demonstration effect to society, and make all law-abiding citizens feel disappointed and frightened."

Homelander's chief lawyer stood up calmly, adjusted his tie, took two steps forward, bowed slightly, and began to defend: "Mr. Judge, my client, Homelander, has always been the pride of our country and a superhero in the hearts of the people. He has used his superpowers to save the country from danger countless times and protect the people from harm. However, this time, he became the victim of a cunning super-powered criminal."

The lawyer shook his head slowly, a look of regret on his face. "These criminals have the ability to transform themselves in a way that is hard to guard against. They have spent a lot of time and energy to carefully plan a shocking conspiracy."

The lawyer began to pace, describing the conspiracy as he walked: "On the day of the incident, they first used their shapeshifting ability to transform into the appearance of the Homelander and brazenly attacked the Black Chapter. They knew very well what kind of chaos and panic this would cause, but they still did whatever it took to achieve their ulterior motives. Then, they transformed themselves into the appearance of Chang Wei, the head of the Black Chapter, and deliberately appeared in front of my client, angering him with words and actions. The Homelander, a hero who was dedicated to protecting the country and the people, unfortunately fell into the enemy's carefully laid trap without knowing the truth, which ultimately led to this heartbreaking tragedy."

The lawyer stopped and looked at the judge again with sincere eyes, "This is a complete misunderstanding, a misunderstanding that was exploited by people with ulterior motives. My client should not be held responsible for the conspiracy and evil deeds of others. He is also a victim."

The judge looked at Homelander.

"Defendant, is this true?"

The Homelander nodded quickly, with an aggrieved and sincere expression on his face: "It is absolutely true, Mr. Judge! I swear to God, when I saw the man who called himself 'Minister Chang Wei', his behavior was very abnormal and full of hostility towards me. I didn't know that he was the real minister. I have always respected government officials. If I had known earlier, I would never have done it. I was deceived by those hateful criminals and made such a mistake!"

As he spoke, there were even tears in his eyes, as if he was trying hard to prove his innocence.

At this time, members of Congress and Defense Department officials in the courtroom began to discuss in low voices.

Some of the representatives who supported the motherland nodded slightly, while others whispered to each other, their eyes revealing their sympathy and support for the motherland. Soon, through an invisible contest, the number of representatives who favored the motherland exceeded 50%.

After all, this is a super-powered court within the Black Chapter Department. There is no jury in the traditional sense. These members of Congress, representatives of the Ministry of Defense, and even the Black Chapter Department's own team of prosecutors will become key factors in influencing the outcome of this trial.

The judge fell into deep thought.

From the perspective of evidence, it is clear that the Homelander attacked the Black Chapter Department and its Minister Chang Wei. The traces of destruction left at the scene, the testimonies of the victims, and surveillance video clips all point to him.

However, there are too many political and interest-related interference factors nowadays. If the natives are found not guilty, it will seriously damage the dignity of the law and the authority of the Black Chapter Department, and will also chill the hearts of countless victims and trigger a crisis of trust in fairness and justice in society.

If found guilty, the pressure from members of Congress, some forces in the Department of Defense and the Vought Company will be unbearable. These interest groups are intertwined and if they are angered, the judge is likely to face political exclusion, lose his status and power, and even suffer retaliation from the interest groups, and his own life and that of his family will be in danger.

"This court believes that although there are some doubts, after reviewing the case and considering all kinds of evidence, this court believes that although Homelander participated in the attack, he was misled and exploited. The real culprit is the hidden superpower criminal organization and some of the colluding interest groups. Therefore, the original charges against Homelander are dropped. However, as a superpower with great power, Homelander failed to maintain a calm judgment during the incident and bears some responsibility for the serious consequences. This court rules that Homelander must perform one year of public welfare service under the supervision of the Black Chapter Department, using his own abilities to repair damaged urban facilities and rescue victims, and receive psychological and behavioral correction training to ensure that he can use his superpowers correctly in the future and maintain social peace."

Just now, the judge's cell phone vibrated quietly, and a text message came into view - information about the arrival of 10 million yuan. The transaction hidden behind this became a secret footnote to his decision.

As soon as these words came out, Homelander exhaled heavily and covered his cheeks and mouth with his hands.

Finally I can get out of this damn place!
He was as excited as a child at this moment.

The Chinese man could not wait to step out of the courtroom, which was already surrounded by reporters. Flashlights flashed one after another, and reporters handed microphones to him and asked him questions one after another.

But at this moment, the motherland did not show any impatience, because he knew that this was a great opportunity for him to return in front of the camera.
