My sister died tragically, and now I'm a citizen of my motherland, why are you crying?

The drone was flying erratically in the air, causing the footage to shake violently.

The chat rooms in all the live streams exploded instantly:

"Holy crap! What happened?"

"Did someone fall from the sky?"

"Is it a monster? A monster attacking headquarters?"

"Lord Thunder, please make your move quickly!"

On stage, the Thunder Police's expression also turned serious.

He stared intently at the rapidly falling black shadow in the sky, the lightning power within his body beginning to surge.

"Hounds, prepare for battle!"

"yes!"

The hound immediately assumed a fighting stance, its hands extending sharp alloy claws as it growled like a wild beast.

However, the next second.

The dark figure suddenly stopped when it was still dozens of meters above the ground.

It just hovered in mid-air.

It was as if time had stood still.

Everyone was stunned.

Including Thunder Cop.

They stared wide-eyed at the figure hovering in mid-air.

That was a man.

He was wearing a plain white shirt and black pants, his clothes covered in mud and water, and he looked disheveled.

But his face remained expressionless.

Those eyes were terrifyingly cold, as if they were looking down on a group of ants.

But what's most eye-catching is the thing behind him—

A blood-red cloak.

It fluttered in the night wind, like a blood-stained flag.

The entire room fell silent.

Everyone stared blankly at the man hovering in mid-air, their minds completely blank.

No one spoke, no one dared to speak.

Even the most enthusiastic reporters forgot to press the shutter button at that moment.

For the first time, Thunder Cop's expression turned grim.

He recognized the man.

It's that bug who was kneeling in the ruins yesterday.

It was that ungrateful commoner who refused his 500,000 taels of charity.

"It's you?!"

The Thunder Cop's voice was filled with disbelief.

"How could you... how could you fly!"

Lin Yuan did not answer.

He looked down at the two so-called heroes on the stage, a slow smile curving his lips.

The smile was very light and faint.

But it sent a chill down everyone's spine.

The video feeds in all the live streams have stabilized.

The camera focused on the man in the sky wearing a blood-red cloak.

The comments section was scrolling wildly:

"Who is this person?"

"He can fly? He's a superhuman too?"

"Holy crap, he looks terrifying!"

"Wait... isn't that the man who cursed Thunder in the ruins yesterday?"

"How is that possible? He was clearly an ordinary person yesterday!"

"That cape behind him...it's so cool..."

"No, it's terrifying..."

In the sky.

Lin Yuan spoke slowly.

His voice wasn't loud, but it clearly reached the ears of everyone present.

"Thunder Cop".

"You said you would protect this city forever?"

"You said you would bleed to your last drop?"

He smiled.

She smiled brightly and innocently.

Like a child seeing their favorite toy.

"That's really..."

"Very good."

A crimson light shone in Lin Yuan's eyes.

The light was like a flame from the abyss, cold and deadly.

"Because of today—"

"I want to burn this hypocritical place to ashes."

Before he could finish speaking...

Two beams of crimson heat shot out from Lin Yuan's eyes!

the goal--

The giant holographic projection on the stage!

"boom!!!"

The explosion was deafening.

The golden projection was instantly torn apart, turning into countless points of light that vanished.

The fragments fell like a meteor shower, hitting the stage and the crowd, eliciting screams.

Thunder Cop's expression completely changed.

He felt that power.

That's a power that ordinary people can't possess.

It's a power that even an A-class hero can't possess.

That is……

A force powerful enough to threaten his life!

"Who are you?!"

Thunder Policeman roared, his lightning power surging wildly, golden arcs of electricity crackling and exploding around him.

Lin Yuan hovered in mid-air, his red cloak fluttering in the night wind.

He lowered his head, looking at the Thunder Police on the stage, his eyes full of mockery.

Like a cat playing with a mouse.

"who I am?"

He repeated the question softly.

Then he smiled.

That smile was filled with arrogance, indifference, and a divine sense that looked down upon all living beings.

You can call me—

"Homelander".

"Here comes the Grim Reaper to send you hypocritical insects to your grave."

The entire room fell silent.

Countless cameras, countless live streaming platforms, countless eyes.

At that moment, they all focused on the man in the blood-red cloak in the sky.

That night, the gods descended.

The entire room fell silent.

Countless eyes were fixed on the suspended figure in the sky, their brains completely shutting down at that moment.

Huge fragments of the holographic projection were still falling, crashing onto the stage with a dull thud and sending sparks flying everywhere.

But no one hid.

No one dared to move.

All eyes were fixed on the man in the blood-red cloak.

After a brief period of shaking, the images in the various live streaming rooms stabilized, and the cameras focused on the terrifying figure in the sky.

The comments scrolled by wildly, so fast that it was impossible to read them:

"Holy shit! Holy shit! Holy shit!!!"

"What is that??? Heat vision???"

"Is he a superhuman? I've never seen abilities like this before!"

"Wait... he just said Homelander? What kind of name is that?"

"Can anyone tell me if this is special effects???"

"This is fucking so fake!!!"

"Wait a minute, isn't that the man who cursed Lord Thunder in the ruins yesterday???"

"How is that possible?! He was just an ordinary person yesterday!!!"

"I found out! His name is Lin Yuan, and he's a junior editor at a newspaper!!!"

"How could an ordinary person change like this overnight???"

"Is this fake??? Is it just acting???"

"Acting? Look at Lord Thunder's expression, does it look like acting?"

In the video, Thunder Cop's expression was indeed extremely grim.

He stared intently at Lin Yuan in the sky, the lightning power within his body surging wildly, golden arcs of electricity crackling and exploding around him, emitting a piercing buzzing sound.

But his body was trembling slightly.

As an S-class hero, he has experienced countless life-or-death battles and faced countless powerful monsters.

But never before had he felt this deep-seated fear.

That fear did not come from the strength of the enemy.

It came from that look in their eyes.

That kind of condescending gaze, looking down on ants.

Just like when he looked at Lin Yuan yesterday.

No, it's even worse than that.

Before those scarlet eyes, he felt like an ant.

An ant that could be crushed at any moment.

"Impossible...this is impossible..."

Thunder Cop gritted his teeth, his voice trembling slightly, a tremor he himself didn't even realize.

"You're clearly just an ordinary person... how could you possibly..."

He didn't finish his sentence because Lin Yuan moved.
