Jiangcheng.

Hero Association Headquarters.

The bodies of Thunder Cop and Hound still lay in the ruins, their blood not yet congealed.

But the media around the world are in an uproar.

-

Beautiful Country, CNN News Center.

"Urgent broadcast interruption! Urgent broadcast interruption!"

The female anchor's voice trembled noticeably, and she fumbled on the table several times before finally finding the glasses.

"Just a few minutes ago, a shocking event occurred in Jiangcheng, China!"

A mysterious superhuman calling himself "Homelander" publicly murdered the S-class hero "Thunder Cop" and his partner, the A-class hero "Hound," in front of a live broadcast!

The camera switched to a live replay of the attack scene.

Lin Yuan's figure hovering in the air, his scarlet eyes, his terrifying heat gaze, and the two crisp "clicks"...

The director didn't even have time to edit the footage and broadcast the complete scene directly.

All the viewers in the United States who were watching television saw that scene.

An S-class hero had his neck snapped by a single hand.

It's like strangling a chicken.

There was a full three seconds of silence in CNN's live broadcast room.

Then, the bullet comments and comment section completely exploded.

"OH MY GOD!!! What kind of monster is that?!"

"An S-class hero? That's it? That's it?!"

"That man can fly, has heat vision, and is invulnerable to blades and bullets... Is he God?"

"What a joke!"

A body of steel, heat vision, super strength, flight... This is Superman for crying out loud!

"No, he is God!"

"Where is the Hero Association of China? Where are the other S-class heroes? Come out now!"

"Are you coming out to die? Didn't you see that the Thunder Cop didn't even have a chance to fight back against him?"

"That hound fared even worse; its neck was crushed by a single hand... And that was an A-rank hero!"

"It's over...the world is over..."

The CNN anchor took a deep breath, trying to make his voice sound more professional:

"Currently, the Huaxia Heroes Association has not responded to this matter."

We have already issued a statement indicating that we are closely monitoring the situation.

Britain, BBC News Centre.

"Shocking! The mysterious superhuman 'Homelander' publicly executes an S-class hero in Jiangcheng, China!"

BBC headlines are known for their restraint.

But this time, the editors didn't hesitate to use the words "shock" and "execution".

Because we simply couldn't find a more suitable word.

If an S-class hero is killed in public, what is shocking?

If a superhuman commits murder in front of a live camera, what is execution if not execution?

The BBC presenter was an elderly man with gray hair who had worked at the BBC for thirty years and had seen countless big events.

But at this moment, his voice was trembling.

"Dear viewers, the footage we just received may be disturbing. Please watch at your own discretion."

The scene was played again.

Lin Yuan gripped Thunder Policeman's neck, his scarlet eyes staring directly at the camera, a chilling smile playing on his lips.

Then, "click".

The veteran host's hand trembled slightly.

He cleared his throat, trying to make his voice sound steady:

"Based on the information we currently have, this mysterious superhuman who calls himself 'Homelander' is suspected of being involved in a civilian casualty incident that occurred in Jiangcheng yesterday."

"It is reported that the Thunder Police were chasing a strange man yesterday."

The fighting affected a residential building, resulting in the deaths of at least twelve civilians, including Homelander's sister.

"It is currently unclear how Homelander acquired these superhuman abilities."

But one thing is certain: his strength far surpasses that of an S-class hero.

"The British government has urgently summoned the Chinese superhero stationed in the UK and demanded that China provide an explanation for this incident."

"At the same time, the British Heroes Association announced that it would raise the alert level for its national heroes to the highest level."

We will continue to report on this for you.

Japan, the land of cherry blossoms, NHK News Center.

Breaking News! Mysterious superhumans have appeared in China; an S-class hero has been brutally murdered!

The hosts from Japan are known for their composure, but at this moment, a hint of panic crept into their voices.

In the scene, Lin Yuan, wearing a blood-red cloak, floats in the night sky, overlooking the entire city.

That scene was played three times by the NHK director.

Each time, it is accompanied by a different explanation.

"For the first time, please focus on his flying ability."

The ability to levitate in the air entirely by its own power, without any propulsion, is extremely rare among known superhumans.

"The second time, please pay attention to his hot gaze."

Based on on-site data, the temperature of that heat field was estimated to be at least 100,000 degrees Celsius, enough to instantly melt any known substance.

"For the third time, please pay attention to his physical strength."

The 30,000-degree lightning strike from Thunder Cop had no effect on him; it didn't even damage his clothes.

This means that there may be some kind of unknown force field protecting his body.

NHK military commentator and former advisor to the Japan Hero Association, Ichiro Sato, said with a grave expression:

"Based on my analysis, this 'Homelander' is at least SS-level, and possibly even higher."

"SS-rank?!"

The host gasped.

"Currently, there are only three known SS-class heroes in the world, and each of them possesses world-destroying power."

If Homelander really did reach SS rank, or even higher...

Ichiro Sato didn't finish speaking, but his expression said it all.

The entire NHK studio fell silent.

The comments section was scrolling wildly:

"SS-rank? Isn't that a legendary rank?!"

"Currently, there are only three SS-class heroes in the world, and they are all from the United States!"

"China didn't have any, and suddenly someone even more powerful than an SS-class fighter appeared?"

"The key point is, this man was just an ordinary person yesterday!"

"To become SS-class overnight? That's impossible!"

"But he did it."

"What's terrifying is his eyes... those aren't human eyes at all."

"That's the way God looks at ants."

"It's over. Japan is so close to China. What if he wants to come here..."

"Shut up! Don't say things like that!"

The NHK presenter wiped the cold sweat from his brow and forced a smile:

"We will continue to monitor the situation. Please remain calm and do not panic."

Not panicking?

How could I not panic?

Korea, KBS News Center.

"China's S-class hero has been killed! The mysterious superhuman 'Homelander' has sparked global panic!"

KBS presenters have shrill voices and speak extremely fast, as if they're afraid something will catch up with them if they speak too slowly.

According to the latest news, the Huaxia Heroes Association has not yet responded to this matter!

Reports indicate that the Hero Association is in complete chaos!

Countries such as the United States, Britain, and Japan have issued travel warnings, advising their citizens to exercise caution when traveling to China!

"Meanwhile, the hero alert level in major cities around the world has been raised to the highest level!"

At the bottom of the screen, a series of breaking news items scrolled by:

[Breaking News] Thunder Police, an S-class hero from Jiangcheng, China, has been confirmed dead.

[Breaking News] The identity of the mysterious superhuman "Homelander" remains a mystery, and he is suspected of being related to civilian casualties.

[Latest] The UN Security Council will hold an emergency meeting tonight.

[Breaking News] The Global Hero Association has issued a joint statement condemning Homelander's violent acts.

KBS's comment section has completely exploded:

"Just who exactly is this 'Homelander'?!"

"I don't know, but if they can kill an S-class hero, they're no ordinary person."

"Did you see his eyes? That's not the look of an avenger, that's... the look of a madman."

"No, I think it's the gaze of God."

"God? You call this God?"

"What else could someone be but a god, capable of easily killing an S-class hero?"

"But God doesn't kill people!"

"Aren't there plenty of people killed by God in the Old Testament?"

"Stop arguing! The key question is, what if he comes to Korea?"

"Our strongest hero in Goryeo is only A-rank..."

"China must have stolen our superheroes!"
