Become a Homelander and a Marvel superstar

"I do," Azu blurted out without the slightest hesitation.

Bruce turned to look at Harley.

"Harley Quinn, do you take Antoine Starr to be your wife, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love, to comfort, to cherish, and to protect, till death do you part?"

Harley was already sobbing uncontrollably, and she nodded frantically.

"Yes! Yes! I do!"

Viewers around the world spontaneously cheered and applauded in front of their screens, offering their sincerest blessings to the couple who were united in the ruins of the apocalypse.

Bruce handed them the ring.

"Now, please exchange rings."

With a slight tremor, Azu picked up the smaller-sized women's diamond ring.

He took Harley's left hand and gently pushed the shimmering ring into her ring finger.

Looking at the ring on her finger, Harley's suppressed emotions were finally released.

Crystalline tears slid down her cheeks and landed on the backs of their hands.

That was the ultimate happiness, and also the ultimate sorrow.

"Hint! Gained 100000 Special Popularity Points! (From Harley Quinn)"

In my mind, the crisp and pleasant system notification sound arrived as scheduled.

One hundred thousand points.

Another 100,000 points!

Upon hearing this sound, Ah Zu knew that filming could be completed.

He no longer suppressed his inner elation, and all traces of sadness faded away.

Then, a genuine, radiant smile bloomed on Azu's face.

But all of this was interpreted in a different way by others.

In their view, this smile was the relief of a hero at the last moment of his life after putting aside his regrets.

"Now, bride, please put the ring on groom's finger," Bruce said.

Harley picked up the men's ring from the box, her hands trembling even more than Azu's.

At that moment, Azu silently issued a command in his mind: "System, use the special mechanism to feign death and escape combat."

[Feign death to escape combat is now activated; Hero's Last Stand effect is enabled.]

The moment the ring was slipped onto Azu's ring finger.

Azu's body slowly disintegrated from his toes, turning into countless tiny golden particles.

"Mr. Candy?!"

Harley finally broke down; her feigned strength shattered in that instant.

She crouched down, frantically trying to grab the dissipating specks of light, attempting to gather them back together.

But her hands could only pass through those illusory lights and shadows.

"Anthony! You promised me! You're not allowed to leave!! You're not allowed to leave..."

The heroes and civilians watching the ceremony all silently lowered their heads, unable to bear to watch any longer.

Before his hands had completely dissipated, Azu pulled Harley up and cupped her cheeks.

His eyes revealed endless longing.

"I'm sorry, little pumpkin."

"I might... not be able to walk with you any further."

He gently wiped away Harley's tears with his thumb.

"Don't cry, carry my share and live well."

"Take good care of this new world for me."

He smiled, glanced at the heroes around him, and finally fixed his gaze on the camera that was faithfully working.

Goodbye, Earth.

As the last syllable faded, Azu completely transformed into specks of light.

A gentle breeze swept through the Metropolitan Square, and the figure of the man draped in the Stars and Stripes was no longer there, but an eternal legend remained.

"Clang—"

The wedding ring that Harley had just put on Joe's finger lost its support and fell onto the wedding stage.

The ring spun on the ground, emitting a lingering "hum".

One lap, two laps, three laps...

Finally, with a "clatter," the ring stopped and lay quietly at Harley's feet.

The world fell silent at that moment.

Harley's knees buckled, and she stared blankly at the empty space ahead.

She didn't cry out loud, but knelt there quietly, trembling as she picked up the ring that Ah Zu had left behind and clutched it tightly in her palm.

The Amazon warriors knelt down in unison, planted their swords in front of them, and bowed their heads in silent mourning.

Then, everyone else followed suit, kneeling down on one knee in the direction where Azu had disappeared, paying tribute to this selfless hero and great leader.

His popularity exploded once again, flooding into Azu's system and transforming into his power.

At this moment, Azu's true form had already entered the dimensional rift.

It is a wonderful sensory experience.

Everything turned into a translucent gray.

He floats in the square of the metropolis, able to move at will.

The eyes can clearly see everything happening in the real world, and can hear every sob.

But when he reached out his hand, it passed right through the phantom image of the building next to him.

He cannot influence reality, and reality cannot perceive him.

"This grand drama has finally wrapped up perfectly."

"System, check the regression countdown."

[Earth-1 experience time remaining: 10 seconds.]

"9..."

"8..."

"7..."

In his final moments, Azu's gaze lingered on Harley's trembling back.

This crazy woman certainly gave him a lot of surprises and provided the highest emotional value of the entire event.

"What a pity, I can't take you with me."

Ah Zu shrugged helplessly.

"3..."

"2..."

"1..."

In the last second of the countdown.

He whispered something to Harley.

Goodbye, Harley.

Forced teleportation initiated.

A flash of white light.

The scene within the dimensional gap was instantly distorted and elongated.

When Azu regained his sight.

The familiar sounds of car horns, shouts, and distant police sirens filled my ears.

Before me was a bustling street with heavy traffic, and various consumer products were flashing on a huge holographic GG sign.

Not far away, the uniquely shaped Water Tower stands tall.

Azu is back, back in the Marvel Universe.

He returned to the same location in New York where he had first transmigrated.

However, he glanced at his hands. They remained in a semi-transparent, illusory state.

"System, what's going on?"

[Remaining time for Feign Death (Hero's End) status: 23 hours and 50 minutes.]

During this period, the host is trapped within a dimensional rift, unselectable and unobservable. This state can be autonomously terminated at any time.

"I see, the cooldown hasn't expired yet."

Azu raised an eyebrow.

The moment the thought crossed his mind, he walked straight through a trash can at the entrance of the alley.

On the street, a few drunk young people walked towards us.

Azu didn't dodge; the young men walked right through him, oblivious, and continued walking forward, still discussing when Homelander would return from space.

"No one can see me, and no one can touch me..."

He stood on the bustling streets of New York, looking at this still prosperous world that had not been destroyed by aliens.

A meaningful smile appeared on his lips.

"Absolute invisibility and wall-penetration for 24 hours?"

"This is way more fun than any superpower..."
