Become a Homelander and a Marvel superstar

The ferocious and monstrous beast froze in place.

A few seconds later, a thin red line appeared between its eyebrows.

The red line spread rapidly downwards.

Boom—!

The two halves of the body collapsed to either side with a crash, and internal organs and blood cascaded down like a waterfall, staining the wasteland red.

The terrifying sword energy continued its relentless advance, piercing through the giant beast and carving a chasm several kilometers long behind it.

Eros, who was on the edge of the attack range, tried his best to dodge, but was still hit by the overwhelming aftershocks of the sword energy.

Even with the formidable physique of the Titans, he was still unable to resist the divine power displayed by this colossal creature.

In the ruins, Eros struggled to push away the stone slabs pressing down on him.

His magnificent interstellar suit had long since been reduced to tattered rags, his body covered in wounds of varying depths, and blood streaming down his forehead, obscuring his vision.

The elegant demeanor he had tried so hard to maintain was now completely gone.

He now has great difficulty even standing up, and has clearly lost the ability to continue fighting.

dong... dong... dong...

Heavy footsteps approached, and the earth trembled.

Eros raised his head.

The massive body of Spider King Kong had slowly walked up to him.

The clouds were cleaved by the sword energy, and sunlight shone through the haze onto the mecha's cold and elegant armor, making it look like an invincible demon god.

The mecha slowly raised its right arm.

The Spider King Sword traced a cold, gleaming arc in mid-air.

Then the incredibly sharp sword tip came to a steady stop less than a meter from Eros's chest.

The aura of death emanating from the sword sent a chill down Eros's spine.

Peter's clear and powerful voice came from the mecha's speaker.

"You've lost, Mr. Fox."

There was silence for a moment.

Eros seemed to have resigned himself to his fate; he gave up resisting and his hands hung limply at his sides.

"I... lost."

He murmured those words, a hint of resentment flashing in his eyes, but mostly a sense of relief.

As Eros's voice faded, the holographic scoreboard above the arena began to pulsate.

Earth vs. the Dark Order, 2 to 2.

"Clang—clang—clang—clang—!"

The Grandmaster's penetrating voice instantly drowned out all the noise in the room.

"Unbelievable! Ladies and gentlemen! A historic comeback! Earth's little spider not only won over the prodigal son of Titan, but also shattered a cosmic behemoth!"

"Fourth showdown! Earth, Spider-Man wins!"

"The current score is—2-2, a tie!"

As the Grandmaster announced it, the arena erupted in a deafening roar of screams and cheers.

The audience's emotions were like a rollercoaster ride during this stunning reversal; some were ecstatic, while others were ashen-faced.

"Damn it! My money! Thanos's brother is a complete piece of trash!" An alien with four eyes angrily tore the betting ticket in his hand to pieces, furious.

"Earthlings are cheating! Who brought robots to this gladiatorial arena?! This is unfair!" A gambler from space, his eyes bloodshot from losing, glared angrily at the Spider King Kong in the arena.

"Stop talking nonsense! Are you out of your mind? Which rule in the gladiatorial combat rules says that mechs are not allowed in the arena?"

The looter next to him shoved aside the complaining gambler and scoffed.

"Hahaha! I knew betting on Earthlings was going to work! Odds of 1 to 50! I'm rich! I'm going to buy an asteroid that belongs to me!" An alien who had won money danced with excitement.

"Damn it! I'm betting on Earth to win next time! I'll stake my entire fortune!!"

Meanwhile, on a distant Earth.

Billions of people watching the live stream felt as if it were New Year's Day after hearing the words "I lost," with every household overjoyed.

"Holy crap! Holy crap! We won! Peter won! I knew this kid could do it!"

"My God, when that mech appeared, I got goosebumps all over! It was so awesome!"

"This is the true value of Walter Academy! Creating miracles in dire circumstances—it's exhilarating to watch!"

"I only care when that mecha figure will be released! WOT merchandise store, hurry up and put it on sale, I'm buying it all no matter how expensive it is!"

Online comments flooded the internet like a waterfall, and this fervent enthusiasm ultimately translated into real popularity, all centered around the blond heartthrob.

Earth's superheroes were equally excited.

Peter dearmed his mech and returned to the preparation platform.

As soon as he landed, he took off his hood, revealing a face covered in sweat but brimming with excitement.

"I did it! Homelander, Principal! Mr. Stark! I beat him!"

Tony Stark stepped forward and gave Peter a big hug without hesitation.

"Well done, Peter. You didn't let me down. Remember to write me a 20,000-word user experience report later," Tony said with a raised eyebrow and a smile.

"Twenty thousand words?!" Peter's eyes widened, then his face fell. "Oh please, Mr. Stark, I have an algebra exam next week..."

Just then, a large hand slapped Peter hard on the shoulder, almost making him stumble.

"Hahaha! Well done, young soldier!"

Thor walked over laughing, his face full of admiration.

"That sword strike you just delivered was reminiscent of my slaying of the fire giant back in Muspelheim! Though your strength is inferior to mine, your courage deserves a cup of the strongest Asgardian mead! When we return, I'll personally toast you!"

"Uh, thank you, Mr. Saul. But I'm still a minor, perhaps we could have some orange juice?" Peter scratched his head and replied somewhat embarrassedly.

Peter then turned his gaze to Azu, his eyes filled with anticipation for his mentor's evaluation.

Azu looked at the travel-worn young man before him and gently placed his hand on Peter's shoulder.

"You haven't let me down, Peter," he said, looking earnestly into Peter's eyes.

"You remained steadfast in the face of temptation, and you did not back down in the face of formidable adversaries. Today, you have not only proven yourself to be the most outstanding student at Water Academy..."

"...You have further proven to the entire universe that the will of Earthlings is invincible."

"You are a true hero! I am proud of you."

Peter's eyes welled up with tears; his idol's affirmation was more important to him than any reward.

Hint! You've gained a special popularity boost! (From Peter Parker)

"Thank you, Principal! I will continue to work hard!" Peter replied loudly.

Ah Zu smiled and nodded, secretly pleased.

This kid's loyalty is completely solidified.

Just as the heroes were celebrating, the Grandmaster's voice rang out again in the arena.
