"And you, Jane. You are the one who can open the door for us."
"Vought has resources, funds, and equipment. As long as you come, the entire department will obey your command."
Jane's heart surged when she heard this.
This is every scientist's ultimate dream. Endless resources and opportunities to explore the unknown.
But...
Her eyes dimmed.
"That sounds very tempting, Mr. Homelander. Really."
Jane sighed and rubbed the ring on her hand.
"But I have promised Thor... When I finish my thesis here, I will go to Asgard with him."
"I thought... I would live there."
After hearing this, Homelander did not show any surprise, but instead showed an expression of regret.
"Asgard... That is indeed a good place."
"But, Jane, have you really thought it through?"
"Think clearly about what?" Jane was stunned.
"Think clearly about your future."
Homelander stood up, walked in front of Jane, and his tone became sharp.
"Jane, you are a scientist. You should be more logical than anyone else."
"Do you think you and Thor really have a future?"
Jane's expression changed. "What do you mean?"
"This is a very simple biological question."
Homelander stretched out his hand and made a time-passing gesture in the air.
"Thor is a god, an alien species of immortality. His lifespan is calculated in thousands of years."
"In his eyes, human life is just a blink of an eye."
"You are young, beautiful and smart now. He loves you."
"But what about ten years from now? What about twenty years from now?"
"You are human. Your golden years are only a few decades."
"In ten years, you will start to age. After twenty years, you will have gray hair. In forty years... you will become a hobbling old lady."
"And where was Thor at that time?"
Homelander brutally revealed the truth.
"He is still young, still strong, and still the handsome Thor."
"Can you accept it? Jane."
"When you walk together, people no longer ask, 'Is that your boyfriend?', but instead ask..."
"... Is that your son?"
These words were like a sharp knife, piercing into Jane's heart.
Her face instantly turned pale.
This was a question she had always avoided and never dared to think about.
"Stop talking..." Jane's voice trembled.
"This is reality, Jane." Homelander did not stop and continued to type, "Thor loves you, I believe it. But can love defeat time?"
"Are you really willing to give up your talent for a short-lived love?"
"Then what can I do?" She raised her head, her eyes desperate, "Leave him? I can't do it."
"You don't need to leave him."
Homelander smiled and threw out the last temptation.
"If you join Vought... maybe, I can help you solve this problem."
"What?" Jane raised her head suddenly, "You mean..."
Homelander smiled mysteriously and did not elaborate.
"I have my own methods..."
He pointed out the window, where a black fighter plane was parked.
"The plane is right outside, Jane."
"As long as you join us, I will give you... time to accompany the gods."
"No longer a temporary mortal passer-by."
Jane Foster looked at Homelander, and then at the research results all over the room.
Finally, she thought of Thor's face that seemed to have always been young.
"I'll go with you."
His eyes were firm.
"Leave now."
Time reversal, Jamaica Park.
This is a wetland reserve at the southern end of New York, far away from the city.
"Bang!!"
Homelander punched Hulk on the chin, knocking the green behemoth into the sea.
"Cool!"
Homelander shook his hands and felt that all the bones in his body were cheering.
No skills, no tactics.
It is the purest clash of forces.
Hulk jumped out of the sea, holding a huge rock in his hand, and smashed it at Homelander.
Homelander didn't dodge or evade, and smashed the reef into pieces with one punch.
Under the camera, he is suspended on the sea, with his hands folded across his chest, his cloak blowing in the sea breeze, and a bright moon shining behind him, like a god.
"Hulk... will tear you... in pieces!!"
Hulk was completely angered.
He pushed his legs hard on the beach, and his whole body shot up like a cannonball, heading towards Homelander in the air.
"That's right."
Homelander The corners of his mouth rose.
"Bang!!"
Two fists collided in the air.
However, the burst of air waves forced a huge depression into the sea water below.
Hulk was knocked to the ground and got up immediately.
"Ola-o-la-o-la--!!"
Homelander bullied himself and started a close hand-to-hand fight with Hulk.
In order to let the camera capture it better, he chose to punch hard to the flesh.
There are no fancy techniques, it's all about the release of power.
Left hook, right hook, knee strike, elbow strike.
The two figures intertwined, and every collision was like the roar of thunder.
For Homelander, this is indeed a long-lost exciting game.
In this world, there are not many creatures that can withstand his full output. Hulk is one of them.
"Bang!"
Hulk punched Homelander in the chest.
Homelander was beaten back more than ten meters, but he immediately rebounded and kicked Hulk in the face, sending him flying dozens of meters.
"Cool!"
"Ah--!!"
Hulk roared and rushed forward, opened his arms, and hit Homelander with a heavy punch without hesitation. The two huge green palms suddenly closed together and tightly trapped Homelander's head and upper body.
"Crush...!!"
Hulk roared, and his arm muscles swelled, trying to crush Homelander's head.
"Don't... touch my hair...!."
Homelander's angry voice came from Hulk's fingers.
"Zi--!!"
Two high-energy Heat Vision burst out at close range, directly penetrating Hulk's huge palm!
"Ouch--!!!"
Even Hulk couldn't bear the severe pain that penetrated the palms of his hands.
He screamed and let go of his hand, leaving two charred black holes on his palm, exuding the smell of barbecue.
Without any pause, Homelander grabbed Hulk's messy hair and pressed his big head down hard.
The knees were lifted suddenly.
"Bang!!"
A fierce knee strike hit Hulk right in the face.
Hulk was beaten so hard that his head was raised and the bridge of his nose was collapsed.
"It's not over yet!"
Homelander clenched his fists tightly, falling like raindrops on Hulk's face.
Just when Homelander was getting excited.
"Zi... Zi..."
The excited voice of Ashley came from the headset.
"Boss! Boss! Can you hear me?"
"Right now the ratings are exploded!!"
"The number of simultaneous online viewers on the global live broadcast platform has exceeded 200 million!"
"Everyone's waiting to see you!"
"200 million?"
Homelander paused slightly in pumping his fist, and a satisfied smile appeared on his lips.
"Very good."
"Now that the audience is all here,... it's time for the climax to be staged."
