Become a Homelander and a Marvel superstar

Despite the heated debates online, the vast majority of political analysts, economists, and ordinary citizens believe that even if governments reach a consensus, truly integrating more than 100 countries into a unified federal government would require at least several years, or even more than a decade, of lengthy negotiations and adjustments.

Because politics has always been synonymous with compromise, wrangling, and the exchange of interests.

However, how things unfolded proved everyone wrong.

To everyone's surprise, the human federation's organizational structure merged at a breathtaking speed.

The day after announcing its withdrawal from the United Nations, the former headquarters of the European Union in Brussels, Belgium, was swiftly established as the new administrative center of the human federation.

Outside the headquarters building, the Human Federation's starry sky flag, featuring the Earth's latitude and longitude lines, was hung overnight.

What happened next defied thousands of years of common sense about politics.

On the first day, the Human Federation Transitional Council announced that it would hold an election for the first federal president.

The following day, a list of candidates nominated by hundreds of member states was released, with former French President Pierre Carson at the top.

On the third day, there were no televised debates, no campaign fundraising, and no mudslinging and scandal-busting.

In the federal parliament, which was broadcast live globally, representatives from hundreds of countries raised their hands to vote.

Passed unanimously.

There was not a single dissenting vote, nor a single abstention.

Following that, all senior government officials, ministers, judges, and even military commanders from the former nations were appointed.

The former commander of the British Royal Navy voluntarily relinquished command and was incorporated into the Commonwealth First Fleet. Former high-ranking officers of the Japan Self-Defense Forces accepted the downgrading and reorganization without complaint.

All appointments were completed within a few days.

There were no arguments arising from the unequal distribution of power.

No country complained about having too few seats in the federation.

Even the most common occurrence in parliament—slamming the table and cursing—never happened once.

Those politicians who would normally fight tooth and nail for their party interests are now as close as brothers cut from the same mold.

All of this was so peaceful and efficient that it was hard to believe that humans could do it.

"This is simply a miracle!"

In a New Federal News program, a well-known political commentator, with his hands on the table, excitedly spits as he speaks to the camera.

"We witnessed history! No bureaucratic delays, no partisan infighting. The Human Federation demonstrated unprecedented administrative efficiency! This proves just how powerful our unity can be when humanity faces external threats!"

However, the integration of human societies has never been something that can be solved simply by appointing officials or having them sign documents.

When the laws of the "Human Federation" began to be implemented in various places.

Those deep-seated nationalist sentiments finally erupted!

Millions of people around the world took to the streets, waving their own country's flags and chanting slogans of independence.

"We don't need any federation! We have our own beliefs, our own history!"

In the Middle East, several sects that were originally at odds with each other have surprisingly united to resist the administrator sent by the federal government.

"God is great! This place does not belong to that Frenchman named Pierre Carson! Tell him to go back!"

In South America, guerrillas took up arms again and waged fierce guerrilla warfare against the federal government's takeover forces in the jungles.

"For freedom! We will never yield!"

Protests, strikes, and even armed uprisings are erupting all over the world.

The people defended their sense of national identity with their blood and lives.

In this world, there is also a small group of people with high cognitive abilities and keen sense of smell.

They knew very well that humans could argue endlessly about whether to put sugar or salt in tofu.

Hundreds of countries with different cultures, beliefs, and interests.

In just one week, power was transferred smoothly without any exchange of benefits or disagreements.

These people began frantically selling off their assets, willing to endure Ellis's new wartime property tax of up to 90%, just to squeeze into the United States, which was under oppressive policies.

……

However, behind this turbulent world...

The headquarters building of the Federation of Human Sovereignties in Brussels.

If at this moment, a normal human being could pass through layers of security and walk into that conference room representing the highest power of the federal government.

He would be absolutely stunned by what he saw.

Around the round table sat high-ranking officials of the Human Federation, who appeared glamorous and powerful in the news.

Human Federation President Piercarson, Vice President, Military Commander...

At this moment, they were not discussing how to resolve the riots in various places, nor were they discussing any federal development plans.

They all bowed their heads, their expressions respectful and obsequious, all looking toward the head of the conference table.

There sat a green-skinned alien with pointed ears.

Gravik.

"General."

Standing beside Gravik, Pagon respectfully handed over a report and began to give his report.

"Over the past two weeks, our reshuffling operation has progressed very smoothly. To date, nearly 200,000 Skrulls have successfully replaced mid- to senior-level officials, military commanders, and heads of critical facilities around the world."

"With just your command, the vast majority of humanity on this planet will operate according to your will."

Gravik nodded in satisfaction.

"Well done, Pagon." His eyes gleamed with fanaticism. "Hold on to your own and accelerate the process of human control."

"This planet will become the starting point of Neo-Skurulos. And those weak, greedy humans..."

He gave a cold laugh.

"...Their sole purpose in existence is to serve as our domesticated slaves, providing us with the labor and resources to rebuild our interstellar civilization!"

"Once the integration of the Human Federation is completely complete, we will launch a general offensive..." Gravik smiled cruelly.

"...Use humanity's own army to break through and conquer that nation full of so-called superheroes! I want to see if those superheroes can bear to kill their own kind!"

……

Following Gravik's instructions.

The nightmare for the people of the Human Federation has officially begun.

The Pierre Carson government tore off its hypocritical mask of "peaceful integration," revealing its ferocious fangs.

The federal government has not engaged in any further negotiations or attempts to appease the national independence movements and protests across the country.

All that exists is absolute iron-fisted violence.

Fully armed troops marched into the city, riot shields were replaced by heavy armored vehicles, and tear gas was replaced by live ammunition.

Anyone who dared to take to the streets waving the old flag was met with ruthless repression. Blood stained the squares of Tel Aviv and washed over the streets of Tokyo.
