Chapter 914 Homelander: Dawn of Justice
Chapter 914 Homelander: Dawn of Justice
"what--"
Robbery on the street.
Unsurprisingly, the armed robber attempted to make a free purchase, but was spotted by the police, leading to a chase.
The wildly spinning car wheels ran over every pedestrian who tried to act as a speed bump.
In the chaos, a steel figure descended from the sky.
"boom!"
He landed with a superhero-like slam of his knees, his armor snapping and crackling.
"Clang, clang, clang."
Bullets rained down on its armor.
But he simply turned around calmly and raised his palm.
"Om-"
Energy is stored in the palm.
"boom!"
The entire car was overturned, and the robbers perished in the flames.
The mechanical figure spread its arms, flames shooting from its palms and feet, and disappeared like a rocket taking off.
……
Wotech Group.
Deadpool, annoyed, went to the dressing room where Tan Wenjie was.
"Your Iron Man video is almost at 300 million views, while mine only has 20! Young people these days are so superficial; they can't appreciate my superb swordsmanship!"
The low number of views is simply because Deadpool cannot show too much gore. His methods of dismembering people are too horrifying. In order to ensure that the videos can be broadcast normally, Deadpool's videos only show very ordinary knife skills.
Especially, he couldn't talk nonsense; otherwise, he would have appeared as if he had changed his skin tone to black, completely unattractive.
“Wade, you should go into stand-up comedy,” Tan Wenjie suggested. “Or you could livestream yourself as a superhero on your phone. You forgot, your persona is that of a good neighbor.”
"That's Spider-Man!" Deadpool rolled his eyes.
His mask really allowed him to make that move.
“But you’re right.” Deadpool nodded, pulled out a notebook from somewhere, and started writing in it.
I scribbled and drew for a while.
"How are the preparations going?" Ashley, the public relationswoman, pushed open the door and walked in. "Gentlemen, as superheroes, it's time for your debut."
The Invisible Man and the Dark Man disappeared, officially announced as having retired.
She knew it would be difficult to get the world to accept two superheroes based on just a few videos, but Vought was now in a difficult position and had no choice but to do so.
Tan Wenjie stood up.
Ashley suddenly said, "Ms. Madeline said she wants to talk to you about this suit of armor."
Compared to cultivating superheroes but being unable to fully control their abilities, the suit of armor that Tan Wenjie is now presenting can easily grant ordinary people extremely strong individual combat capabilities.
If a large number of such forces were available, the Vought Group might actually be able to take over the White House.
“Not for sale.” Tan Wenjie refused outright.
He was just there to play a role-playing game; he never intended to sponsor anyone.
From a technological standpoint, his suit of armor incorporates the power of multiple sources, granting him near-divine strength, and he need not worry about it being cracked, as Earth in this world has not yet mastered such advanced technology.
Ashley immediately shut up. Her ability to rise in rank and thrive under the heavy pressure of Homelander was inseparable from her almost instinctive, powerful eyesight.
The two people in front of me are people I have to greet with a smile, even if they are from my own country.
At the press conference, Tan Wenjie piloted a suit of armor and fell from a great height, eliciting cheers.
Deadpool is a bit like a monkey that suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
The invisible man and the black man's fans shouted at them to get lost, but others ignored them.
The introductions were completed simply like that, announcing that "Iron Man" and "Deadpool" had joined the Super Seven.
Iron Man was the first ordinary human superhero who built his own mecha using his own technology without relying on superpowers, which immediately attracted the attention of countless teenagers.
After all, having superpowers depends on luck, and being able to generate useful superpowers is even luckier than luck itself. But Iron Man's armor is different; anyone who wears it can become a superhero.
Deadpool... Actually, Black and the Invisible Man don't have as many fans as you might think.
Most importantly, their online clamor went unheeded, and they were ultimately only able to stage a boycott within a small circle.
The Super Seven have officially met.
Homelander, Queen Maeve, Starlight, Deep Sea, A-Train.
Shenhai and Huochetou, in particular, had an air of superiority on their faces when they saw Tan Wenjie.
“It’s not easy for an ordinary person to become a superhero,” Deep said. “You have to make sure you’re wearing armor 24/7.”
"Shut up," Homelander said with a smile.
Shen Hai immediately lowered his head: "I'm sorry, I..."
"I told you, shut up!" The eyes of the father gleamed red.
The deep sea dared not make a sound again.
Even the others kept their heads down, afraid to make too much noise, lest they be cut in two by the light emitted from those crimson eyes.
"Welcome to the Seven." Homelander's smile widened completely. "Make yourself at home here."
"Do a good job." Tan Wenjie patted Homelander on the shoulder, then plopped down in the middle.
The corner of the man's mouth twitched, and the smile on his face vanished instantly.
The others reacted similarly; they could even imagine that the handsome young man would turn into a pile of minced meat in the next moment.
But things took an unexpected turn once again.
Tan Wenjie sat with his legs crossed in the chair, but the people of the Patriots seemed oblivious to this.
"Knock knock." A knock sounded on the door, and Ashley pushed the door open and came in. "Sorry to bother you, but I wanted to talk about the future development plans for Iron Man and Deadpool, and Starlight! The three of you are newly introduced superheroes and urgently need to shoot solo movies to increase your popularity. However, your popularity is not enough to support the box office. Fortunately, Queen Maeve has a new movie, and you can make a cameo appearance."
"The most classic superhero trope," Deadpool whispered from the side, "an Easter egg!"
"Also, Iron Man just received a contract from a luxury brand. The price isn't low, but they want you to walk the runway."
Everyone immediately looked at Tan Wenjie.
I'm especially envious of the deep sea.
He's been a superhero for a long time, and although he's filmed quite a few commercials, most of them are related to marine animals, such as luxury goods, and it's hard to find anything related to himself.
Conversely, Queen Maeve, with her strong-woman persona, easily gained access to a considerable amount of fashion resources.
With the addition of such a beautiful star, she is destined to attract a lot of attention.
The locomotive represents extreme speed, and it will always be a symbol of sports.
After thinking it over, I realized that I was the only one who didn't have many endorsements, so I would get even less money.
"Help me refuse," Tan Wenjie said without even thinking.
Ashley was shocked: "Do you know how much this costs? And the price they offered will definitely satisfy you."
“I’m not interested in money; I’ve never touched money.”
Everyone: "..."
Perhaps this bastard's superpower is taunting; everyone present couldn't help but want to pounce on him and give him a good beating. "You don't need to hire me for any endorsements," Tan Wenjie continued.
Deadpool: "Me too."
Ashley: "Nobody's looking for you."
Deadpool: "..."
After a simple gathering of seven, Starlight took the initiative to approach Tam Man-kit.
"I'm Annie, and I've just joined the Seven. From now on, we'll be superhero colleagues working together." Her face still radiated excitement at becoming a superhero.
Of course, there were some twists and turns in the process of joining this company, but as long as I can achieve my initial dream, these are not problems.
"Want to go on a date together?" "That's not a good idea." "After the date, we can accidentally get drunk, and then we'll all have a wonderful night~" "Hmm, that sounds amazing~~"
Starlight watched Deadpool continue his role-playing, his lips twitching. This superhero who succeeded Blackie didn't seem as cold-blooded as he had imagined.
Tan Wenjie said, "He has mental problems."
“I just can’t find a part of my brain,” Deadpool retorted.
"..."
Suddenly, Starlight said, "Actually, I have something to do, so I'll go first, bye-bye."
“She’s interested in you,” Deadpool suddenly said.
Tam Man-kit: "Let me tell you something you don't know."
"I hate that you're handsome and you're aware of it, Jay!"
While the two were playing superheroes and deeply experiencing the idolized and professional life, Homelander was already taking action, beginning his search for even greater power.
Late at night, after firing a Crescent Slash, Homelander fully utilized his super hearing to search for a way to turn defeat into victory.
Time flies.
Iron Man is appearing more and more frequently and has begun to plunder a large number of fans. Deep Sea is the one most affected by this. His abilities seem dull and boring in comparison to the new suits that Iron Man has released.
The fact that those toys were selling like hotcakes made him extremely unhappy.
He was already being reduced to a third-rate superhero, and what was worse, Homelander was turning a blind eye to it all.
The Super Seven reunited, and after Deep Sea released his octopus "lover," he pulled up his pants and immediately went to the company office.
Surprisingly, many unexpected figures appeared here.
Some are established superheroes, while others are complete newcomers.
Homelander leaned on the table with both arms, just like he appeared on camera—sunny, righteous, and full of convincing power.
However, Tan Wenjie and Deadpool were not present at the scene.
“We are facing the biggest crisis in history,” Homelander said gravely. “That bastard is lawless; no one can stand against him!”
Everyone: "..."
Especially for the superheroes that Homelander is extremely familiar with, the eye rolls were practically off the charts.
There was only one person who was truly lawless.
But no one dared to expose Homelander's pretense. If he became unhappy, he might explode on the spot, and no one would survive.
"Darkness is gradually enveloping the entire world." Homelander's voice was deep, his sharp gaze sweeping over everyone present. "We must fight desperately for any chance of seeing the dawn!"
"Excuse me, who is our enemy?" Queen Maeve asked, raising her hand.
"Iron Man and Deadpool," Homelander gritted his teeth.
Shen Hai said, "But he was the one you recommended."
The eyes of the people of the motherland gleamed red.
“I’m sorry, I…” Shenhai immediately apologized, his attitude humble.
“Yes.” Homelander’s crimson light dimmed. “I recommended him only to stall him; he is far more dangerous than you imagine!”
"So, even you're no match for him?" Someone had already figured out the crux of the problem. "In that case, I should get a new leader."
The man from the motherland watched coldly, and the other person shuddered and immediately shut up.
"Don't worry, I've found a way to take him down, but it will take all of us working together," Homelander said. "Otherwise, we'll all have to live under his oppression."
Everyone: "..."
In reality, it doesn't matter to them who oppresses them. Without the oppression of "Iron Man," Homelander will just increase the pressure, fight to the death to kill one of them, and then find that nothing has changed.
Anyway, I've already signed a contract. I'll just shoot some commercials and movies, occasionally participate in a few variety shows, take on endorsements, share the profits, and enjoy life. That's the most important thing. Why risk my life?
However, no one dared to say these words; the slowly glowing red eyes of the people of the motherland represented everything.
"Oh!"
Madeline pushed open the door and entered: "I heard that you actually gathered all the company's superheroes together for some kind of dawn?"
"I have my reasons for doing this!" Homelander shook his head.
“You’ve disappointed me so much.” Madeline shook her head and turned to the other superheroes, saying, “Stop fooling around with him. Everyone back to your posts. We’ve signed hefty breach of contract agreements.”
"boom!"
A beam of red light blew Madeline's head apart.
The superheroes were terrified and dared not move.
"Now, let's continue." The crimson light in Homelander's eyes gradually dimmed. He took a deep breath. "I have a batch of special potions here. Using them will enhance your strength. Use that power to take him down! This is not a discussion!"
Homelander distributed Compound V, and some people couldn't wait to inject it on the spot, clearly having heard of its fame long ago.
The effects made them scream with pleasure, and their power exploded.
Right after Homelander disbanded the meeting, Starlight contacted Hughie immediately. Their acquaintance was somewhat coincidental, but of course, it didn't matter. Now she had to get the message over with her as soon as possible.
Sunshine, beach.
Deadpool, dressed in a suit with a bikini over it, is enjoying the sea breeze under a parasol.
Compared to his lonely situation, Tan Wenjie's side was quite crowded.
Rustling.
"Ok?"
Deadpool suddenly realized something was wrong; it felt like something grabbed his ankle and slammed him hard into the ground.
"The Invisible Man?"
Deadpool got up, and then he noticed that there was a person the size of an ant running towards him from the ground.
Ant-Man?!
The other person was naked and ran towards them.
He managed to jump into the gap in Deadpool's suit amidst Deadpool's frantic slapping.
"No, no, not there!" Deadpool exclaimed in alarm, clutching his groin with both hands.
That bastard, who could shrink to the size of an ant, actually ran into his own urethra.
"boom!"
The other party instantly returned to normal, and Deadpool exploded into a pile of mangled flesh on the spot.
"Phew, one down!" The blood-covered termite spat, then turned to Tan Wenjie, who was sunbathing on the other side. "Next!" (End of Chapter)
