Become a Homelander and a Marvel superstar

Outside the White House, countless people are still waiting to die in this most desperate moment.

But the live stream on the screen suddenly switched.

The devastated arena and the vicious, terrifying Skrull were gone.

What appears in the picture is the Oval Office of the White House.

U.S. President Matthew Ellis, dressed in a sharp suit, sits upright behind a large desk.

Behind him, a Stars and Stripes flag and a flag bearing the Vought logo stood side by side.

Viewers worldwide were stunned. At this moment when the Earth was on the verge of destruction, the US president suddenly cut off the live broadcast?

What is he going to do? Declare the surrender of all humanity?

Ellis placed her hands on the table and slowly began to speak to the camera.

"My fellow human beings around the world. I am Matthew Ellis, President of the United States of America."

Ellis's voice resonated in every corner of the earth.

"I know you are terrified right now. You see the sky weeping blood, the ocean churning, and our mightiest heroes falling in pools of blood."

Ellis spoke slowly, but every word carried immense weight.

"You think it's the end of the world. You think we've been abandoned."

"But I'm telling you here—no!"

"Deep in the universe, there is someone who has never abandoned us!"

"Homelanders!"

Upon hearing this name, countless people weeping in despair involuntarily raised their heads.

"He's not dead!"

Ellis's eyes shone with fervor, and his tone was utterly certain.

"Although he was lost in the darkness of the universe, he has always been doing everything he can to come back and save us!"

"Just like he's done countless times before!"

"Look around you! Look at this world on the verge of collapse!"

"I don't know if God or Buddha exists in the world!"

"But even if they exist, what good will it do?! They can't save us! They can't save humanity!"

"If there truly is a God to save us... then it can only be our own God!"

Ellis stared at the camera, his eyes red-rimmed, and unleashed the charisma he had displayed during his first campaign campaign at an extraordinary 300% effort, shouting himself hoarse:

"That is the god among men—Homelander!!"

"Abandon those empty prayers! Abandon calling upon God, abandon worshipping Buddha!"

"From this moment on, let only one person remain in our hearts!"

Homelander!!

Ellis excitedly pumped his fist.

"Call out! With all your faith, with your souls, call out his name!"

"Let the universe hear our voice!"

"I believe that the conviction of all humanity can pierce this blood-red sky, letting the universe hear the indomitable roar of humankind! Letting the people of our motherland find their way back!"

"Call him! Let him come home!!"

President Ellis's speech came to an abrupt end amidst his rousing tone.

But his declaration had already ignited a pile of dry tinder in the hearts of desperate people.

The world fell into a brief silence at that moment.

Two seconds later... it exploded!!

In the live stream, the barrage of comments had completely covered the screen with pure white, forming a name composed of various languages.

"Homelanders!"

"Homelanders!"

"Homelanders!"

Those who had been waiting to die stood up.

With tears streaming down their faces, they roared that name madly at the scarlet sky.

Inside the Paris church, the woman who had dropped the cross did not pick up the symbol of faith again.

She clasped her hands together in front of her chest, closed her eyes, and devoutly repeated the same name.

Inside the super factory, the workers, with guns pointed at them by federal inspectors, completely ignored the cold, hard weapons.

They walked hand in hand, marching in unison, chanting the same rhythm.

"HomeLander!! HomeLander!!"

The sheer force of the aggression intimidated the guides who were overseeing the project, causing them to retreat repeatedly and drop their guns to the ground.

On the Narraber Plain.

Jessica lay on the battlefield ruins, her glistening tears falling into the dust.

"Anthony... I miss you. Come back..."

Tony Stark drew a "V" shape on the wrecked ground with his bloodied fingers, his lips moving slightly: "Come back... you blond bastard, you've kept us waiting too long..."

Even in the White House, those usually selfish and self-serving staff and politicians, under some inexplicable influence, unanimously put aside their prejudices and gathered around President Ellis.

The Minister of Defense, the Minister of Finance, the Chief of Staff... they all reached out and placed their hands on President Ellis's shoulders and back.

At this moment, at the center of power, there are no parties, no interests at stake.

For just one person.

"Homelander!!!"

Millions, tens of millions, billions.

At that moment, language barriers disappeared, and racial boundaries blurred.

Regardless of gender, age, wealth, or poverty.

At this moment, all living consciousness in the world resonated in an unprecedented way.

Meanwhile, Ah Zu, who had been keeping his identity hidden, received more frequent system notifications in his mind than ever before.

This forced him to ask the system to mute the notification sound.

However, this was not his biggest concern.

What concerned him most was that a strange change had occurred in his body and consciousness.

That wasn't given by the system, but by another kind of grand and profound power.

He felt countless golden threads converging from every corner of the earth, flowing into his body like rivers flowing into the sea.

His consciousness began to expand infinitely, and he even "saw" everyone who called out to him.

That's the belief of billions of people!

That is... Alaya!

At this moment, Azu became a true god among men.

This is no longer Odin's title, but rather a divine quality bestowed upon him by the will of all living beings.

[Notification! It has been detected that the host has acquired the collective will and belief of all humanity.]

[Special Achievement Completed: The Hearts of Millions Return.]

Your will is the will of humanity. Your existence is the beacon of civilization.

Azu closed his eyes, enjoying this unprecedented baptism.

The sky remained crimson.

The energy of the Father Box had expanded to its limit, and a sense of impending doom had crept up everyone's spine, as if it would arrive at any moment.

"Is it no use...?"

"Can't he hear me...?"

Desperate, they attempted a counterattack.

But people still looked up, using the last bit of strength in their bodies, and shouted their final swan song towards the blood-red sky:

"Homelanders—!!!! Come back—!!!!!"

Just as that shout fell silent.

For a fleeting moment, the consciousness of everyone in the world went blank.

A familiar voice rang out.

The sound didn't come through a radio, nor did it ring in my ear.

Instead, it appears directly in the depths of everyone's heart.

This sentence is short, but it is so gentle, so confident, and carries a sense of security that makes the soul feel at ease.

Wipe away your tears, don't bow your head. I... am already before you!
