Homelander Comics

Cast on earth!

Gwen on Earth was able to move thanks to the powerful recovery ability of her spider-power. She leaned half of her body against the wall, gasped twice, and suddenly, like a conditioned reflex, she looked up at the sky.

It seemed as if a meteorite was falling towards the earth, and it instantly burned up in mid-air, forming a huge fireball that illuminated the entire sky.

"boom--!!!!!"

The moment the "meteorite" fell to the earth, extreme light and heat overflowed, and the huge shock wave shook the entire New York.

Gwen, who was at the scene, saw that a large amount of smoke was released from the center of the crash, blocking the view.

A thick cloud of dust was left on the ground.

a long time.

Calm and calm.

Gwen opened her eyes and saw a huge hole on the ground, with huge cracks spreading in all directions like a spider web.

She was stunned.

You know, although she was kicked heavily from a tall building by the vulture and lost her ability to move, she did not lose her perception.

In other words, she had a general idea of ​​the movements of Vulture and Bai Ye.

Bai Ye and the vulture flew into the atmosphere in an instant, and then landed at such a fast speed... the power displayed by Bai Ye at this time shocked Gwen's heart.

Originally, she thought that she possessed spider powers, the strength to easily lift heavy trucks, the ability to climb buildings at will, spider silk that allowed her to travel quickly through New York, and the ability to foresee danger was even more amazing. No matter how humble she was, she felt that she should be a very powerful superhero, but compared to Bai Ye, what was that?

"In DC comics, Superman's power is only this much, right?"

Gwen swallowed hard.

When reading comics, people like the image of Superman. But when Superman appears in the real world... any sane person will feel fear, right?

Because if "Superman" wants to do something, there is no one on earth who can restrain him. Even if Superman wants to rule the earth, it is not a difficult thing. As long as Superman wants, he can make modern society regress to feudal society. Isn't this terrible enough?

Especially... Gwen feels that this Superman is not like the god on earth in the comics. Could the person who casually brings a person into the atmosphere and then drops it like a meteorite be the Superman who adheres to the "non-killing principle"?

"You are the Pig Man in the recent New York urban legend, right?"

A deep voice sounded beside Gwen.

She turned her head and saw the "Superman" in black armor standing beside him.

Even though Gwen already had a deep understanding of Superman's power and felt fear, she still blushed when she heard Bai Ye's words and immediately argued:

"Not Pigman! I'm not! I'm Spider-Man! Spider-Woman!"

Don't call people by the wrong nicknames, asshole!

If her nickname becomes "Pig Man" in the future, Gwen will feel that she will not be able to face the people around her anymore. Once her identity is exposed, won't she be socially dead?

"it's the same."

Bai Ye said casually.

It's totally different, asshole!

Bai Ye began to become serious: "Pig Man, do you know why you lost to Vulture?"

"Yes..." Gwen held back her complaints and thought seriously. Finally, she bit her lip and said, "Because I am not a qualified warrior and have no combat experience. I am too immature and not strong enough."

"No, in my opinion, you are strong enough." Bai Ye shook his head and said, "It's not because you are immature. Even if you have no combat experience, relying on your instinctive reaction ability and your strength far stronger than that of Vulture, it will be very easy for you to defeat him! So... why did you lose to Vulture?"

"why?"

Bai Ye said coldly: "Because you are too naive. You are not fighting with the intention of killing the enemy, but he is fighting with the intention of killing you."

"What?" Gwen couldn't understand: "Ordinary people don't have the power to judge others. Even superheroes can't kill people at will. We should catch the bad guys and hand them over to the police, and let the police judge his crimes."

"Are you serious?" Bai Ye pointed at the scattered bodies of guards near Osborn's escort vehicle and said, "When you fought with a man who killed more than a dozen innocent people for his own selfish desires, you still thought about catching him instead of killing him? If he originally just wanted to rob the things and run away, and you arrested him in pursuit of justice and encountered his resistance, then in the process, he killed more innocent people. In the end, who is responsible for this crime?"

"I……"

Gwen was silent.

She comes from a police family and her father is the police chief of New York City. The education she received has made her feel that she should not kill people and that criminals should be brought to justice.

Bai Ye's words went beyond her understanding and made her not know how to respond.

"Do you want to protect kind and innocent people and uphold true justice, or do you want to satisfy your own boring sense of justice and enjoy the joy of being a hero by becoming a superhero?" Bai Ye sneered and said, "To protect kind and innocent people, you must eliminate all evil, kill to protect life, and eliminate karma instead of killing people!"

"If you want to satisfy your own boring sense of justice, then little girl, you can go home, because the future of New York will only become more and more dangerous. Your childish tricks will only harm others and yourself. Not only may you harm innocent people because of your insistence on being so aggressive, you may also harm yourself and even the people around you..."

"I..." Gwen clenched her fists. "I'm not doing this for the joy of being a hero... No, I enjoy it, but it's definitely not just for the joy of being a hero... This isn't just some childish trick..."

"Then you must change your mindset!" Bai Ye said firmly, "It is not a child's play for an individual to stand up and defend justice in the world. It requires a heavy price. You want to uphold true justice, but you abide by secular morality. You don't want to make even the slightest sacrifice and dirty your hands. Then why do you want to be a superhero? You can just be a policeman! Fighting must be carried out with the idea of ​​killing bad guys. If you don't kill people, others will kill you and others. From the way I see you, you are the kind of person who will surrender if someone puts a gun to an innocent person's head... And do you know what a real policeman would do when faced with gangsters taking hostages?"

Gwen asked subconsciously, "How?"

"When facing the police from any country in the world, hostages will never be an effective shield in the hands of criminals!"

Bai Ye said coldly.

Gwen suddenly thought of a Russian joke:

"Eight robbers and two hostages."

"Roger that. Ten robbers, two of them without guns."

"Hostage: Please give me a gun."

——The forensic doctor will naturally tell us who is the hostage and who is the robber. The one in uniform must be one of our own.

"In this world, it is impossible to be a hero and remain innocent like a child. If you want a win-win situation, you can only let the enemy win twice!"

Bai Ye raised his head slightly, looked at the bright moon in the sky, and said in a low voice:

"Not everything in this world will go as you wish. The longer you live, the more you will realize that reality is filled with helplessness, pain and emptiness. Listen carefully, where there is light in the world, there must be shadows; if there is the concept of winners, there must also be losers; if you have the selfish idea of ​​maintaining peace, you will provoke war; if you want to protect love, hatred will inevitably arise. There is a causal relationship between them and they cannot be separated. This is reality."

Chapter 93 Justice delayed is justice denied

Gwen looked blank.

When she came out to be Spider-Woman, she really didn't think about so many issues.

Because these are not things that a child of her age should think about. She should at least graduate from college before starting to accept the beatings of society. But by accident, she gained superpowers and imitated the superheroes in comics and movies to do justice. This kicked Gwen, who was just a high school student, out of the ivory tower and into society to face the beatings.

With her life experience, she couldn't answer Bai Ye's question.

"For those who are standing high and watching, they cannot empathize with the pain of the dead. As for the families of the victims... justice delayed may not be justice at all!" Bai Ye smiled gently and said, "Sometimes, in order to protect something, we have to sacrifice something!"

"Of course, Pigsy, I still think that you are not suitable to be a hero because you are too weak-hearted! You should go back and study for a few more years, at least... wait until you graduate from college."

In Bai Ye's opinion, reality is not like in movies or comics. If someone, like Gwen, always sticks to the principle of not killing and fights against all kinds of super villains in New York, then sooner or later there will be a day when he will be defeated.

Especially when the super villain has hostages and Gwen is not hard-hearted enough, what will happen...it's not difficult to imagine.

Bai Ye has always found it difficult to understand the so-called superhero principle of not killing. It is understandable to teach minors not to kill, but they are all adults, how can they be so childish?

If you read more current affairs news and learn about the human trafficking in Eastern Europe, the laundry detergent trade in the Golden Triangle, the gas cylinder trade in Southeast Asia, and the confrontation between Mexican drug lords and government forces, and when you have the ability to control it, you will not come to the absurd idea that no one in the world has the right to take another person's life.

Especially - if someone kills your whole family, I think the murderer also has his own reasons, and we should respect human rights. You should learn to forgive, and you cannot retaliate or detain them. If you kill someone in my family, damn, I will kill your whole family.

If the whip doesn't hit you, you won't feel pain, right?

"and many more!"

Seeing Bai Ye preparing to leave, Gwen temporarily stopped thinking about herself and shouted:

"Superman, if you are real, then please tell me, what exactly do you want to do in this world?"

Gwen has a broad perspective. She is confused about the choice of her own path, but she knows that she is not important to the world. But the man in front of her is different. He does have the power to change the world by his own strength. So in her contact with this man, Gwen feels it is necessary to ask this superman about his attitude towards the world on behalf of the people of this world.

Bai Ye stopped and looked at Gwen. He pondered for a long time before he slowly spoke:

"When I reach high places, I find that I am always alone. No one talks to me. The lonely winter makes me tremble. What do I want to do in high places?"

"Since I got tired of searching, I have learned to find it once I find it; since a headwind came, I have been able to resist the wind from all directions and sail on the boat."

"My heart is like a tree. The more the tree yearns for the light in the heights, the more its roots will move downward, toward the soil and into the depths of darkness."

After he finished speaking, with a sound explosion, Bai Ye's figure rushed into the sky, turned into a ray of light, and disappeared in front of Gwen.

Gwen: "???"

Her mind was full of question marks. Brother, what you said is so profound. I don’t understand.

What exactly do you want to do?

When the white night came into the atmosphere, there was a voice in my mind.

[Ding! You defeated the super villain Vulture and saved Spider-Woman and New York. ]

[Rewards are being settled...]

[Reward: 2000 points. 】

"Depend on!"

Bai Ye was speechless. The reward for this mission was not agreed upon in advance, but was a reward settled afterwards...

Moreover, what if I didn’t choose to kill the vulture, but chose to go home and sleep?

What kind of changes will happen?

"I'll try it next time I have a chance."

Bai Ye opened his attribute panel.

[Host: Bai Ye. 】

[Occupation: native of the motherland. 】

[Powers: Body of Steel lv3, Heat Vision lv3, Super Strength lv3, Super Speed ​​lv3, Super Vision lv3, Super Hearing lv3, Super Brain lv3, Biological Force Field lv2. 】

[Points: 39915. 】

"I'm only 100 points away from upgrading the bio-force field to level 3..." Bai Ye had a headache: "Fuck, why is it so short? This is so difficult to do... It's like having a foot bath in a club and suddenly the police come to raid it. It's so frustrating!"

"We have to find a way to earn another 100 points."

Bai Ye thought for a moment.

If he couldn't collect all the points and complete the upgrade immediately, Bai Ye felt that he wouldn't be able to sleep tonight.

He looked down at New York City.

Super vision activated.

Bai Ye focused his attack on major bars, nightclubs, hotels, clubs and other places in New York.

Countless streams of information are attributed to Bai Ye’s super brain and classified into different categories.

"what?"

He suddenly uttered a surprised sound.

“So this woman is also in New York?”

Abandoning the useless information, Bai Ye can see that on the congested street in New York's Times Square, there is a woman wearing a white sweater with a strong girlish style, which highlights her snow-white skin and three-dimensional outline, giving her a fairy-like temperament. She is wearing a pair of blue jeans on the lower body, which outlines her outstanding waist and hip curves, and is matched with a pair of simple white sneakers. The whole combination is youthful and beautiful, and her real age cannot be seen at all.

But she looked very angry as she moved through the crowded place, as if she was avoiding... the person chasing her from behind.

"Hey, it looks like the remaining 100 points have been found."

Bai Ye smiled slightly.

……

SHIELD headquarters, Trident Building, in the director's office.

Nick Fury, a black man wearing a black windbreaker and with an unchanging icy and indifferent face, was handling official business in the office. At this time, there was a knock on the door of his room.

"Come in."

"Chief, we are in big trouble this time."

Maria Hill, deputy director of SHIELD, and Phil Coulson, Nick Fury's confidant and level-six SHIELD agent, came together.

"what happened?"

Seeing that Agent Hill and Coulson, who were usually calm and composed, looked very embarrassed, Nick Fury stopped his work, raised his head, and looked at the two with sharp eyes.

Maria Hill pulled up a surveillance video for Nick Fury:
