Become a Homelander and a Marvel superstar

However, in this global bloodbath, only two places in the world were spared.

One is an ancient Eastern country that has built itself up like an ironclad fortress. Their unique censorship mechanisms and ancient secrets make it extremely difficult for the Skrulls to infiltrate and they are unable to reach the true core circle.

The other is Washington, D.C., which is under the close watch of the VGD.

At this point, the White House had become a veritable super fortress.

President Ellis leaned back comfortably in his office chair, watching the superheroes patrolling the lawn outside the window, and took a satisfied sip of his drink.

Under the president's executive order, the White House security force has been completely replaced by VGD registered heroes and Vought security personnel.

The Secret Service agents were all cleared out to the perimeter, where they were only responsible for traffic control.

As a result, Congress paid the Water Group an astronomical sum for security.

President Ellis didn't seem to care at all, since it was taxpayers' money anyway.

What's even more ingenious is that, part of this huge sum of money was very "sensibly" returned by the Water Group to his private Swiss bank account through several secretive offshore companies.

Looking at the long string of zeros that had appeared in her bank account, Ellis's mouth practically stretched to her ears in a wide grin.

"God bless America, and even more so the people of our motherland." He raised his glass and toasted the air in the distance.

Even with Homelander in the absence, the Water Group still demonstrated absolute security.

He was very grateful that he had withstood the pressure from those idiots in Congress and the capitalists from beginning to end, and stood firmly on the side of the Homelander.

"As long as Walter is here, the sky won't fall in Washington." He breathed a sigh of relief.

However, apart from these two places, the outside world has completely descended into madness.

As time went by, in just two weeks, almost all the world's leaders and even high-ranking officials had been purged.

The stock market crashed, social unrest ensued, and riots broke out in the streets.

Fear stems from the unknown, and people all over the world are panicking. Supermarkets are being emptied of supplies, and a large number of conspiracy theorists are claiming online that this is the prelude to a major war.

But after the old leadership was purged, new leaders in various countries took office at an astonishing speed.

But the assassinations suddenly stopped.

Just as abruptly it happened, it ended without warning.

What's even stranger is...

After these new leaders took office, they all seemed to have reached some kind of tacit understanding.

Foreign ministries from various countries, which were vehemently accusing this of being an international conspiracy yesterday, are all silent today.

All official investigations into the assassination have been put on hold indefinitely.

Governments around the world have even begun to join forces to exert pressure, in-depth reports by related media have been urgently suspended, and online entries related to "coup" and "assassination" have been massively blocked.

News anchors on major television stations, who were shouting themselves hoarse reporting on a tragic assassination attempt in a bedroom in a certain country one day, are now wearing professional smiles and launching into lengthy reports on global warming and the new government's economic stimulus plan the next day.

It was as if the bloodshed and the unnatural deaths of many high-ranking officials over the past two weeks had never happened at all.

If it weren't for the fact that the two superpowers that survived this incident were still giving extensive press conferences to report on and condemn the attack, it would have been a different story.

People all over the world are even wondering if they are collectively in a hallucination, or if this is a huge April Fool's joke played by the United Nations.

On the internet, various social media platforms were abuzz with discussion.

"Damn it! They deleted all the news! Did you see it? The first thing the newly elected French president did on TV today was discuss environmental protection and emissions reduction? His predecessor's blood is still fresh on the carpets of the Élysée Palace!"

"The president of Country F is dead! The prime minister of Country Y is dead! The entire cabinet in Japan has been replaced! And then they tell us the weather is nice today, perfect for a walk in the park?!"

"I think there's definitely a conspiracy! The US and China are working together to purge the political scene in Europe and Asia!"

"I swear I saved the video of that Japanese bodyguard firing the gun yesterday, and today my computer was hacked! The video is gone! This is absolutely a global conspiracy!"

"If it weren't for the fact that I could still see news about assassinations while using a US IP address, I would have thought we were experiencing some kind of collective Mandela Effect!"

……

The White House, conference room.

President Ellis sat at the head of the long conference table, flanked by the Secretary of Defense, the CIA Director, senior officials from the Department of Homeland Security, and other members of the highest echelons of American power.

On the huge screen directly in front of the conference table, high-level representatives from the ancient Eastern country were displayed.

This was a top-level secret meeting spanning half the globe.

The room was filled with a tense and oppressive atmosphere.

President Ellis looked up at the woman sitting on the other side of the conference table.

Jessica Jones.

She was sitting with her legs crossed, casually leaning back in her chair.

She stood out from the group of politicians in suits and sitting upright, but no one dared to underestimate her.

Because she now represents Walter's supreme will.

"Ms. Jones," President Ellis began, "I'd like to know, does Walter have any concrete intelligence about what's happening in the world right now?"

“We do know some things, Mr. President.” Jessica put her feet off the table, her tone serious and direct. “But before that, I suggest you all take a deep breath and prepare yourselves. Because the truth you are about to face may completely overturn your understanding.”

Upon hearing this warning, the high-ranking officials unconsciously straightened their bodies and backs.

Jessica turned her head and snapped her fingers at Ashley, who was standing guard to the side.

Ashley dialed the number.

A moment later, VGD agents brought in a white woman.

She looked to be around thirty years old, with a pretty face, and was wearing an ordinary gray trench coat.

The high-ranking officials looked at each other, puzzled as to why Walter would bring in an ordinary woman at this critical juncture.

"Let me introduce you all," Jessica said, gesturing with her hands towards the woman. "This woman's name is Gaya, she's from outer space."

"Ms. Gaya, please begin. Tell them everything you've been through."

Gaya nodded, glanced around at the humans who controlled the Earth's strongest military force, and began her story.
