Become a Homelander and a Marvel superstar

Asgard.

Saul held Jane Foster's hand as they stood in the Great Hall of Asgard.

"Father," Thor said firmly, "Although Jane no longer has the Aether within her, her life force is severely damaged. Only Asgardian medical technology can help her recover. I want her to stay and become a part of Asgard."

Odin sat on his throne, looking at his stubborn son with his one eye, then at the mortal woman.

"She is mortal." Odin's voice remained majestic, but it had lost some of its previous harshness. "Mortal lives are fleeting. If you unite with her, you are destined to suffer the pain of loss."

"I don't care." Saul squeezed Jane's hand.

"I care," Odin scoffed.

"Odin," Frigga approached and whispered in Odin's ear, "Homelander saved my life and changed my destiny. Perhaps... we should try to change some of the old rules too?"

Odin remained silent for a long time.

He remembered that arrogant Midgard "god" and his performance on the battlefield.

The times have changed.

"...She can stay," Odin finally relented, but still retained his divine arrogance, "as a guest until she recovers. As for whether she can become a member of Asgard...that's up to fate."

Saul was overjoyed: "Thank you, Father!"

Jane breathed a sigh of relief. Although she didn't like the one-eyed old man, she put up with it so that she could be with Thor.

……

S.H.I.E.L.D., the Tri-Wing Building.

To demonstrate the importance of S.H.I.E.L.D. and its reputation among the public, all agents were ordered to take to the streets!

"We need to let the public see the S.H.I.E.L.D. badge!" Pierce roared at the meeting. "Go catch those bank robbers with alien weapons! Crack down on gangs in the city! Even if it's just helping an old lady cross the street! Rescuing a cat from a tree! You all need to wear the S.H.I.E.L.D. uniform!"

So, in the following weeks, S.H.I.E.L.D. agents became New York's busiest "community volunteers".

But beneath this bustling surface, undercurrents are surging.

Black Widow Natasha, Hawkeye Clint, and Dr. Bruce Banner disappeared without a trace, all under Fury's secret arrangement.

Nobody knows where they went.

Pierce, citing the argument that "the world is becoming increasingly chaotic and we need a more efficient defense mechanism," strongly pushed for the accelerated launch of "Project Insight" in the Security Council.

But the results were not good.

Because the world's attention is now focused on Walter.

People seem to think that as long as there are people in the motherland, even if the sky falls, there will be tall people to hold it up, and there is no need to spend huge sums of money on some "Insight Project".

One board member even retorted, "Do we need to understand the plan? We just need to make a call to Walter."

Pierce was so angry that he smashed three cups in his office.

Meanwhile, at the White House in Washington.

President Matthew Ellis is currently riding high on his success.

He sat in the screening room, watching a video on the screen, and couldn't stop laughing.

Vought Films dispatched a top-notch production team to create a short film tailored for the president, titled "The President: The Last Line of Defense."

In the film, President Ellis is no longer the politician hiding in the bunker.

Wearing a bulletproof vest and carrying an M4 rifle, he fought alongside Vought's heroes amidst the smoke-filled ruins of Washington.

The camera gave him a close-up: the president, his face covered in dust, his eyes resolute, was shooting down several dark elf soldiers with his gun.

Then, he spat out the cigar and coolly said to the camera, "Don't forget, I'm a veteran too."

The video caused a sensation across the United States as soon as it was released.

"A tough president!"

"This is the kind of leader we need!"

Ellis's approval ratings skyrocketed, making his re-election almost a certainty.

"Well done, Anthony," Ellis said, grinning from ear to ear on the phone. "I think I could try my hand at Hollywood after I retire."

"Great idea, Matthew," Azu laughed on the other end of the phone. "I'll definitely invite you to star in my movie series."

However, Ellis also had regrets.

His proposal to have his image carved on Mount Rushmore was unanimously rejected by the Senate on the grounds of "damaging the historical and cultural landscape."

"These blind idiots," Ellis cursed.

……

In the public sphere, A-Zu's popularity continues to rise.

However, some noise also arose.

Tokyo, Japan.

Because Azu threw Malekith into Mount Fuji, the volcano, which had been dormant for three hundred years, briefly erupted.

Thick smoke and volcanic ash covered the Kanto Plain, burying most of Tokyo under a thick layer of volcanic ash. Power outages, traffic disruptions, and even signs of a "volcanic winter" appeared.

The Japanese cabinet was extremely dissatisfied with this. Although it dared not openly criticize Homelander, it repeatedly implied at international conferences that "the violent acts of certain superheroes have caused excessive collateral damage."

Some Japanese citizens even launched an online protest called "Homelanders Get Out of Asia".

"Sir, there's some trouble with public opinion in Japan," Ashley said, looking at the data report with some concern.

"trouble?"

Azu smiled.

Silently, I opened the system and looked at the popularity breakdown data it provided.

Panel expanded:

Popularity score source filtering: Asia - Japan

Popularity points gained: -3120!

Popularity points gained: -4399!

"..."

But Azu's gaze was fixed on another set of data, which showed that the positive popularity he received was actually ten times that of the negative popularity in Japan!

The source is a large landmass country in Asia and two small peninsula countries.

Popularity points gained: +42520!

Popularity points gained: +32421!

Popularity points gained: +41122!

"..."

Open your phone and you'll see videos of "Homelander smashing Mount Fuji" being wildly shared in these areas.

Holy crap! Homelanders are awesome!!

"This punch was for my great-grandmother!"

"Mount Fuji erupting? What kind of incredible plot is this? We suggest increasing the intensity!"

"Homelanders are my gods! I'm a fan now!!"

Ah Zu was so amused by the comments that he almost spilled his can of soda.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

"This is what they call a blessing in disguise."

"Ashley, ignore the protests in Japan. Just tweet me something like, 'For the peace of the planet, some sacrifices are necessary. I regret what happened to Tokyo, but I'll do it again next time.'"

"Are you sure you want to add that last sentence?"

"Just kidding, delete the last sentence. Change it to 'We will provide humanitarian aid—two hundred and fifty cases of Water Energy Drinks.'"
