Become a Homelander and a Marvel superstar

"The Skrulls' ability to mimic human beings poses a systemic security threat to human society."

"Given the current situation, concentrating them in areas far from densely populated regions and providing them with sufficient survival supplies is the maximum amount of mercy Mr. Starr can offer."

"Mercy?" Fury scoffed, staring intently at Skynet.

"Don't give me that PR talk! You have no idea how serious the situation is outside!"

"Glavic has gone mad. After Homelander disappeared, his radical faction is creating chaos around the world. They've infiltrated high-ranking governments in various countries and may even have obtained the launch codes for nuclear weapons!"

"I'm saying this one last time," Fury said, his tone growing increasingly harsh.

"We can't just sit here in this ice cave! Talos has a list and the coordinates of several secret bases in Gravik. We must take the initiative now, utilize Vought's resources, and dig them out before they blow Earth to rubble!"

Skynet's expression remained unchanged in the face of Fury's aggressive questioning.

She maintained that dignified smile, exuding the refinement and composure characteristic of upper-class women.

She has fully adapted to her human identity and has created a persona for herself.

Seeing that Skynet remained unmoved, Fury slammed his fist on the table, attempting to intimidate them with his aura as a man in a position of power for many years.

"Give me temporary command of Skynet! Even if it's just a special forces hero response unit! I'll do it..."

"Request rejected, Director Fury."

Skynet didn't even wait for Fury to finish speaking before giving its reply.

"I think I have explained it very clearly to you before. The final decision on the Skrull incident must be made by Mr. Starr himself. Until then, no one has the right to mobilize Vought's armed forces for cross-border operations."

"Wait for him to come back?!" Fury straightened up, laughing in exasperation.

"Fuck you! Who the hell knows he's thousands of light-years away right now! Every minute we delay, the world gets one step closer to destruction!"

"Starr's not here! We should act accordingly!" Fury tried to argue, "Since you've accepted me, you should give me the authority to mobilize Vought's resources to eliminate the threat!"

"Mr. Fury, you seem to have some unrealistic illusions about your authority."

"You are no longer the director of S.H.I.E.L.D.; you are working for Vought. And Vought's supreme will rests solely with Mr. Starr."

"If you attempt any overstepping of your authority to execute your so-called plan..." Skynet gave a very human-like cold laugh, "...I will immediately revoke all your privileges at Vought and list you as a potential threat for control."

Fury gritted his teeth. This Skynet was too difficult to deal with. It didn't care about the big picture or the survival of humanity. Its underlying logic was only about that man draped in the Stars and Stripes.

"Have you ever thought about it...?" Fury finally brought up the possibility that no one wanted to face.

"...What if he doesn't come back?"

"Are we going to drag all of humanity down with us for the sake of one person who might die?!"

The atmosphere froze at that moment.

The ever-present, ever-smiling face of Skynet has lost all expression.

She slowly took a step forward, her pupils flashing with golden light, and the mental pressure from the Mind Stone enveloped Fury's shoulders.

"You'd better pray every day to everything you believe in, and pray that he will come back safely, Nick Fury."

"otherwise……"

She didn't say another word, but Fury unconsciously took a step back, a chill creeping into his heart.

In that instant, he even felt that the Skynet before him was more terrifying than the Skrulls who wanted to usurp his territory.

If Homelander were to truly die, this woman would likely pose no less of a threat to the world than the Skrulls.

Fury wisely kept quiet, gave Skynet a deep look, and then left without saying a word.

……

The Himalayas, Kamar-Taj.

The ancient temple is hidden within a barrier of wind, snow, and magic.

Normally, this place is shrouded in a powerful magical barrier, and any form of intrusion will be detected immediately.

But today, Azu wandered through the ancient courtyards of Kamar-Taj like a ghost, without triggering any alarms.

He walked straight to the main hall.

Deep within the main hall, the Ancient One, the Sorcerer Supreme, sat cross-legged before a low wooden table, holding a steaming cup of tea in his hands, his eyes closed in meditation.

Angus walked up to the Ancient One, bent down, and his face was almost touching the tip of the Ancient One's nose.

He carefully examined the Supreme Master who had protected the Earth for hundreds of years.

"Even the Ancient One couldn't sense me?" A wicked thought popped into Azu's mind.

He stood up, walked to the Ancient One's side, raised his hands, and began to frantically rub the Ancient One's bald head.

It's like playing with a giant walnut.

Gu Yi picked up the teacup, gently blew on the steam, and slowly took a sip.

She was completely unaware of the earthly god who was "running wild" above her.

"It seems that even the Sorcerer Supreme can't see through the system's 'unobservable' trick."

Although he couldn't touch the physical body, he found the taboo of provoking the Sorcerer Supreme very interesting.

After Ah Zu was satisfied, he withdrew his hand.

Ignoring the Sorcerer Supreme any further, they continued drifting deeper into Kamar-Taj.

He was searching for that crimson figure.

Soon, in an underground library filled with ancient scrolls and heavy books, Azu found his target.

In the dim light, Wanda was sitting at a long table.

She was surrounded by open books, and a few parchments were thrown on the ground in frustration.

Wanda's fingers moved rapidly across the pages, her gestures constantly shifting. Crimson chaotic energy pulsed restlessly at her fingertips, revealing her extremely unstable emotions.

"Snapped!"

Another heavy magic book was slammed shut.

"No, not this! And not this either!"

"You must stop, Wanda!" Baron Mordo suddenly appeared between the two rows of bookshelves, his brow furrowed and his face dark.

"You are touching a power you do not understand... The kind of cross-dimensional magic you are looking for is essentially a ritualistic practice from a dark dimension."

"Using this magic will corrupt your soul with darkness! The Ancient One forbids anyone from touching dark magic!!"

Wanda stood up, crimson energy coursing through her body.

"Modu, you can't stop me! I will never give up finding Anthony! By any means necessary!"

Hidden to the side, Azu couldn't help but be moved by Wanda's determined face.

"Silly girl, I'll treat you properly once I regain my physical form."
