["This station has just received news! In a large bank in the center of Manhattan, an extremely bad Metahuman hostage-taking incident occurred!"]
["It is understood that the robber is an extremely dangerous wanted criminal! The police have cordoned off the scene and Vought's "The Seven" is on the way!"]
Seeing this news, Lin Xiao put down the game controller in his hand.
"The Seven is going to put on a show? It's time for me to go out for a walk."
Kaguya next to him took this opportunity to control the game character with a set of unexplained combos.
"Nice, victory."
"..."
Manhattan city center, in front of First National Bank.
At this time, NYPD had put up a long yellow cordon on the streets, and in the sky, several helicopters belonging to various Big News media were circling crazily to broadcast the live broadcast.
In the bank lobby, a young man with blood all over his head was holding his feverish and comatose daughter tightly, crying desperately towards the police and media cameras outside the door.
Above his head, the wanted criminal who could control high-voltage electric current was laughing extremely arrogantly. From time to time, he would release a stream of electric current and hit the hostages at their feet, enjoying their screams of fear.
At the same time, on the top of a skyscraper a street away from the bank.
The public relations manager of Vought was holding a walkie-talkie, looking at the crying civilians downstairs, and counting down in an extremely cold-blooded manner. "Don't worry, wait for one more minute! When that man cries even more miserably, you can break the window and get in!"
Homelander, who was standing on the edge of the rooftop, listened to the wailing of the civilians below, with a condescending and hypocritical smile on his lips, "Of course. Heroes always appear at the last minute, so that these lambs waiting to be slaughtered will kneel down and worship me more devoutly, right?"
Just when Homelander adjusted his cloak and prepared to complete a "god-level rescue" in front of the live broadcast camera of tens of millions of viewers.
"Boom boom boom--!!!!"
The entire Manhattan ground suddenly emitted an extremely dull tremor!
The cameraman on the news helicopter raised his head in horror and saw that the sky was torn apart by an extremely sacred red beam of light!
"Bang!!!" With a deafening bang, the light beam landed accurately in the middle of the intersection in front of the bank!
The violent airflow instantly flattened the surrounding cordon, but when it came into contact with the innocent civilians, it turned into an extremely warm and gentle breeze.
The light slowly dissipated. Under everyone's extremely shocked gaze.
A fifty-meter tall, red and silver statue of Light Giant, with a blue timer inlaid on its chest, stands in the steel forest like a real god!
"Bang." The super-powered robber in the bank looked out the window at the terrifying giant that was even taller than the entire building. The dagger in his hand fell directly to the ground, and he rolled his eyes and was stunned to death.
Gaia slowly lowered his head, his bright eyes staring at the dull crowd below. An ethereal voice, filled with endless tolerance and majesty, sounded directly in the minds of everyone watching the live broadcast across the United States:
"I heard the cry of this land."
"I am the embodiment of the earth, Executor of Earth's Will."
"This planet should not continue to be polluted by hypocrisy and sin."
As soon as this statement, full of absolute divinity and character, came out, the entire United States network exploded instantly!
Countless netizens frantically commented on the barrage in the live broadcast room: [My God! Have you seen it! The incarnation of the earth! This is the arrival of the real god!]
[Vought Vought Those guys who wear tight clothes to show off are nothing in comparison?!]
[Wait a minute! Is there a hero related to the sea in the Seven? It's called "The Deep", right?]
[Pfft hahahaha! Are you the devil upstairs? The incarnation of the earth is fifty meters tall and glows all over! And the "The Deep" and Tenten who represent the ocean will only wear revealing green tights to chat with dolphins! What the hell are you comparing this to?!]
[The Deep? Just a talking green-haired tortoise.]
Outside the bank, the young man who was rescued hugged his daughter and knelt on the ground with tears streaming down his face.
"Dad, is that the real God? He is 10,000 times warmer than the feeling brought by Uncle Homelander."
Homelander, who was far away on the roof of a skyscraper, could hear this childish saying clearly with his super hearing.
The fake smile on his face froze instantly, veins popped out on his forehead, and his eyes quickly became bloodshot and red.
"Damn little bastard..." He gritted his back molars, and the laser in his eyes almost uncontrollably shot at the girl, trying to cut her in half along with the glowing monster!
"Calm down, Homelander!"
The public relations manager's anxious warning sounded immediately in the earphones, "The sky is full of news helicopters, and media outlets across the United States are broadcasting the whole thing live! Tens of millions of eyes are watching you, hold on to your perfect persona, don't mess it up at this time!"
On the other side, Vought Tower's monitoring center was also in chaos.
"Where did this fifty-meter-tall creature come from?!" Executive Madelyn stared at the screen and yelled, "Has the energy detector produced any results? Is it a monster mutated by Compound V?!"
"There is no known biological reaction..." The technician was sweating profusely while typing on the keyboard, his voice trembling. "Our equipment cannot detect his carbon-based vital signs, and the radar cannot lock on to the specific physical density... He is like a light and shadow without entity!"
After receiving the report from the headquarters, Homelander took a deep breath and suppressed the red light in his eyes.
"No entity?"
He snorted coldly and directly activated his proud clairvoyance ability, trying to see through his internal organs and weaknesses.
However, in the perspective of perspective, he saw no bones or blood. What filled his eyes were only clusters of dazzling and pure light particles!
"I see, it doesn't even have a body, it's just a ball of Projection created by the refraction of light."
Homelander A flash of surprise and disdain flashed in his eyes, and a cruel and arrogant sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth again.
"This kind of bluffing circus trick can only deceive the idiots below who have never seen the world."
"Boom--!"
With a dull sonic boom, Homelander, wearing a star-spangled cape, landed heavily on the steps of the bank door.
The surrounding hostages and police officers instantly burst into cheers for surviving the catastrophe. Countless mobile phone cameras and the searchlights of news helicopters focused on this place.
Homelander looked up at the fifty-meter-tall giant.
In front of tens of millions of live broadcast viewers, he must not destroy his perfect god persona, not to mention that the other party is just a glowing "three-dimensional Projection".
"Wow, it looks like New York City welcomed an incredible new friend today."
Homelander forced out that bright and fake smile. He even flew into the air, level with Gaia, and opened his arms in an extremely generous hug:
"Well done, big man! But you can just leave it to me to deal with such low-life robbers."
Homelander's voice spread throughout the neighborhood. "You have a great talent! Vought International has always been hungry for talents. How about joining us "The Seven"? Together we can maintain the peace of America, and I will personally be your mentor."
