"We're finally back."
The survivors looked around at their familiar surroundings, overwhelmed with excitement. At the same time, the public quickly learned of the news and cheered. As expected, the Director of S.W.O.R.D. was reliable.
As for the internet, after Wade sealed Indigo, Alice successfully restored all networks, and the world returned to normal.
"We're finally back."
Newman, the director of the Disaster Countermeasures Bureau, let out a sigh of relief and hurriedly notified President Nathan.
President Nathan was overjoyed. He prepared to hold a press conference to explain the matter in detail, while also announcing that cybersecurity would be outsourced to Alice to prevent anything similar from happening again.
The public would have no objections to that. After all, Alice had been invented by the Director of S.W.O.R.D. In fact, if the Director of S.W.O.R.D. had been willing, the public would gladly have supported him becoming Earth's governor.
"I lost again."
Homelander looked thoroughly displeased, though that was all it was. After all, he had grown used to losing. At that moment, he received a notice to attend a meeting in Hell. He casually found an excuse and traveled to Hell.
"A business trip to a Parallel Universe?"
After hearing Death's introduction, Homelander was stunned. Death nodded. "That's right. Make your preparations. Once the two Bug Kings recover, we'll immediately lead the main force to the Parallel Universe. The sooner, the better.
"Azzu, once we reach the Parallel Universe, you won't need to restrain yourself anymore. Do whatever you want. You can even destroy a planet.
"Besides, our chances this time aren't bad. We have the entire Zerg helping us. Superman and Wade were chased all the way back by the Zerg before."
"That really is wonderful."
Homelander grinned and immediately returned to Earth to request leave—low as that
