Madmen to the Left, Saints to the Right

"The tragedy of Homelander is because our Free Nation's supervision of superheroes was not strict enough!"

"We must strongly resist and absolutely not hire those heroes with dark pasts and inferior quality!"

"Heroes who make mistakes are as guilty as civilians! They must all face legal sanctions!"

"The tragedies that have occurred in the past cannot be changed, but these old wounds are constantly warning us!"

"I swear, as long as I stand here for one more day! I will never allow any evil to occur, no matter who the opponent is!"

Jupiter floated in the air, waving his arms, his words impassioned.

"Free Man! Free Man! Free Man!!!"

The rescue team, doctors in white coats, police...

One by one, the citizens of the Free Nation were inspired by Jupiter, shouting his hero name loudly!

The Old Gods are dead, long live the New Gods!

"So, what exactly do you want to do?"

At Vought Tower, Starlight gently touched her forehead with one hand while holding a remote control with the other, turning off the headline news playing on the screen in front of her – Free Man defeating Homelander, Free Man is the one who upholds true justice. She turned and looked at Free Man, who had been giving a passionate speech to reporters ten minutes ago and was now sitting in her office.

"I want to take over Vought. I can guarantee your interests, but you need to understand that this is not pure altruism. The new general election is coming, and you must support me in running for president of the Free Nation!"

Jupiter looked at Starlight and spoke frankly.

"Are you f***ing crazy!"

Starlight exclaimed upon hearing this. In her eyes, Jupiter was a lunatic, a madman.

"Watch your wording."

Jupiter looked at Starlight, his eyes glowing with a scarlet light.

"Oh! Sh*t!"

Seeing Jupiter's eyes light up, Starlight was instantly startled. She finally remembered that the man sitting across from her desk had just eliminated the world's most powerful superpowered individual, Homelander, ten minutes ago. The man before her was not only insane but also powerful, capable of taking her life at any moment.

Although all of this sounded incredible, and Starlight had no prior expectations, she was momentarily unsure of her position.

"I'm sorry, I mean, your plan sounds too crazy. Running for president, haha, I think even Mr. Edgar wouldn't dare to think about it."

Starlight felt a surge of fear. She could only bring up Mr. Edgar, hoping that the always unfathomable man could put some pressure on the Jupiter in front of her.

"I dare..."

"Moreover, I have a ninety percent chance of winning this election."

Jupiter was incredibly calm. He had a complete strategy that would allow him to win all the votes.

"What?!"

Starlight's eyes widened upon hearing Jupiter's words. A ninety percent chance of winning the election?! This was too exaggerated. No candidate in history had ever had such a high probability of securing that position.

"I can do it, but I need your cooperation."

Jupiter smiled slightly at Starlight.

"How do you want us to cooperate?"

Starlight asked, confused.

"It's very simple..."

"Announce Compound V and its effects, and let everyone in this world understand one thing: as long as they have Compound V, they too can become new superhumans."

Jupiter said calmly.

"Impossible."

Starlight flatly rejected Jupiter's proposal. Announcing Compound V?! This was pure fantasy!

"Do you know the consequences of announcing Compound V?"

"Do you know what kind of impact this will have on our Vought company?!"

"This is a fatal blow! I absolutely cannot let you destroy the company."

Starlight mustered her courage and said loudly.

"Listen."

Jupiter heard this and shook his head helplessly. Too superficial, he could only say that Starlight was too superficial and couldn't see the bigger picture at all.

"Right now, everyone in the Free Nation, and even the whole world, is terrified. They are afraid that another madman wearing a cape with red eyes will appear and slaughter them! They are afraid that their guns won't protect them, and they are afraid of the incident on the plane in Chicago happening to them!"

"Since this country is so crazy and free that it allows a bunch of boys to receive a real M16 as a birthday gift, why can't we legalize superpowers?!"

"To everyone who votes for me, I promise they will receive a bag of Compound V as a reward for their support! Imagine, who else in this world will be my competitor? Who else will oppose me? Tell me!"

Jupiter's eyes emitted a scorching, scarlet glow as he questioned Starlight.

"Wtf..."

"You want to create a world full of superhumans?!"

Starlight finally understood what the man before her was plotting.

"No! I'm not trying to create a world full of superhumans, but to lead all primitive humans toward evolution! According to Darwin's theory of evolution, the path of all living things is the pursuit of evolution! And I will help all humans on Earth complete their evolution! I will become the ancestor of all new humans! A beacon! I am the Ancestor Person!"

Jupiter's plan was never to be some broken President of the Free Nation; his vision was grand. His goal had always been to be the sole true ancestor of the entire omniverse (the real Ancestor Person). He would become the progenitor of superpowers, a sage who would carry the banner of human evolutionary history!

Whether from a cultural, historical, or strength and spirit perspective, he was the progenitor!

Jupiter's banner and glory would shine throughout the entire omniverse with the help of his countless followers.

And the world of The Boys was a world Jupiter used for experiments.

"omg..."

"This is too insane, this idea is too insane..."

After hearing Jupiter's words, Starlight gently pressed her temples with her hands. While their Vought company was still thinking about how to make money, Jupiter was thinking about racial evolution?! Crazy and great!

Are madmen on the left and saints on the right!?

Perhaps every saint appears crazy to outsiders; they are full of subversion, seemingly unwilling to rest until they've turned the world upside down...

"I need to think."

Starlight shook her head. She didn't dare to gamble. She didn't dare to risk the entire company with Jupiter in this high-stakes game! Although if they won, the Vought Family would be immortal. But if they lost, the Vought Family would be utterly destroyed.

"I'm not asking for your opinion."

"I hope you understand, I'm merely informing you, dear Ms. Starlight~"

"Your opinion has never been important to me."

Jupiter said coldly, looking at Starlight.

"Without my help to convince Mr. Edgar, you will never get the Compound V formula."

Starlight felt insulted and said in a deep voice.

"Slap!"

Jupiter said nothing, merely placing a USB drive in front of Starlight.

"I hope you don't disappoint me."

After speaking, Jupiter turned and left.

"?!"

Starlight looked at the USB drive before her, her expression shifting between dark and uncertain. In the end, she opened it, determined to see what trick Jupiter was playing.

When Starlight opened the USB drive, she stared at its contents with wide eyes. The USB drive contained the formula for Compound V.

"f*ck! Mr. Edgar surrendered first?! Then what am I even holding out for!"

Starlight shook her head. Today's events had truly shocked her.
