"As you can see, just fifteen minutes ago, our the Chosen One once again prevented a fatal engineering disaster at Manhattan, saving at least hundreds of lives."
On Times Square's giant LED screen, Vought News Network's ace host Cameron Coleman is sitting in the studio, giving live broadcasts in a pious tone.
"Watching his flying figure, I can't help but think back to the miracles he has created for this country and the world in the past ten years."
Coleman's eyes became affectionate and solemn, and the TV screen switched and a shocking historical image was played.
"Seven years ago, terrorists hijacked the Boeing passenger plane carrying more than 200 passengers and attempted to crash into our World Trade Center building. On that day, everyone in the All-America country thought that the end was coming."
"But, he showed up."
In the screen, the cell phone screen of the survivor was cut out.
"He intercepted those death flights without any hesitation!"
Coleman's voice trembled with excitement.
In the video, John directly forced open the cabin door, and Heat Vision killed all the terrorists in the cockpit with headshots.
But the plane had lost control, its engine was damaged, and it was falling rapidly toward the city.
The next scene became the most incredible miracle in All-America country and even the world for hundreds of years.
John never gave up on anyone.
He turned into a ball of golden lightning that retraced its steps crazily in the air.
He rushed into the rapidly falling cabin, holding one or even three or four passengers at a time in his hand, and frantically traveled back and forth between the altitude of several kilometers and the ground!
The sonic boom cloud exploded into a white ocean over New York.
In this way, he used his arms to miraculously transport hundreds of passengers on several flights to the ground safely one by one before the plane crashed completely!
Not only that.
"Under the leadership of Homelander, the Superheroess of Vought International are out in force!"
The scene switched to the World Trade Center building. The Superheroess evacuated tens of thousands of people in the World Trade Center Twin Towers as quickly as possible.
Even though the wreckage of the out-of-control plane later grazed the facade of the building, it did not cause any casualties to any people.
Zero casualties.
A terrorist attack that would have changed the world was completely crushed by John with his own power and the most invincible heroic attitude.
"He not only saved those two hundred families, he saved America's dignity and our souls!"
Coleman's voice echoed over Times Square:
"From physically stopping an out-of-control elevated subway, to stopping a cruise ship that was blown into two pieces by terrorists."
"From catching an out-of-control helicopter at high altitude, to going to war-torn areas to suppress rebellions."
"In the past ten years, Homelander has hardly had a break. Wherever there are disasters and crimes, there is his Stars and Stripes cloak!"
The screen was split again, showing a series of staggering data charts.
"Let's take a look at Vought International."
"Under the leadership of Homelander, it has become the greatest enterprise of America. The following is the financial report and national contribution of Vought International."
"Thanks to Homelander's zero-tolerance crackdown on global criminal groups and terrorist organizations, the All-America violent crime rate has dropped by an astonishing 87% in ten years! In New York, you can even let your eight-year-old daughter go to the corner to buy ice cream alone at two in the morning without any worries!"
"Vought International's Medical Department, the Ministry of Energy and the Ministry of Infrastructure and other departments have fully taken over the underlying operations of the country. Vought is no longer just a company, it is the sky above our heads and the most impenetrable shield of the free world!"
Three o'clock in the afternoon.
Washington, D.C.,Vought Plaza.
A press conference that attracts worldwide attention is about to be held here.
The square was crowded with more than 100,000 people who came spontaneously. Hundreds of media from around the world aimed their weapons at the ten-meter-high podium in the center of the square.
When John walked towards the podium with steady steps, the square of 100,000 people instantly burst into cheers like a tsunami.
But John didn't smile today.
The expression on his face was extremely serious, even with a touch of compassion.
He walked to the microphone, slowly raised his hand, and pressed it down.
One hundred thousand people, in two seconds, fell silent.
This kind of terrifying appeal and obedience will make any country's leader feel intimidated, but the people enjoy it.
"My fellow citizens, as I stand here today, my heart is filled with sorrow."
John's deep voice spread throughout the square through the speakers:
"A few hours ago, during a bank robbery in Chicago, something happened that made me and the entire Vought International feel ashamed."
He waved his hand.
Two heavily armed Vought security personnel escorted a man wearing a silver uniform onto the podium.
That is Second-Tier Superheroes, "Silver Lightning", a member of Vought International.
At this moment, his nose was bruised and his face was swollen, his whole body was shaking like a sieve, and his face was covered with tears and snot.
"During the process of rescuing the hostages, this 'hero' who was supposed to protect the weak showed off his strength excessively, was arrogant and lost control, resulting in the death of two innocent civilians on the spot."
John turned his head and looked coldly at Silver Lightning who was kneeling on the ground, and then looked at the 100,000 people in the audience.
"Vought International has given us power beyond mortals, and the people have given us supreme privileges and trust, but I want to tell all Supe that ability always comes with absolute responsibility!"
John's tone gradually rose, shocking people's hearts like thunder,
"When we put on this uniform, we are no longer human beings, we are a promise! A promise that will never let the blood of innocent people be shed! Whoever breaks this bottom line is the enemy of this country!"
Silver Lightning, who was kneeling on the ground, completely collapsed. He kowtowed crazily and cried into the microphone:
"I'm sorry! Homelander, I was wrong! It was just an accident! I didn't mean to kill them, I just didn't control my strength... Please, give me a chance!"
"There will be no second chance for those two hostages."
John looked at him indifferently.
The next second.
Under everyone's gaze.
John The blue in his eyes was instantly swallowed up by scarlet.
Zhi--!
Two red laser beams shot out from John's eyes without warning and penetrated Silver Lightning's chest.
He wasn't even given a chance to let out one last scream, as the high temperature of several thousand degrees burned directly through his heart.
Silver Lightning's body emitted black smoke and fell heavily on the podium.
A public execution in front of 100,000 people without any judicial trial!
The entire square fell into a deathly silence.
Only the breeze blew through, bringing with it a faint smell of burnt meat.
However, after a few seconds of dead silence.
"Okay!!!"
I don't know who took the lead in the crowd and shouted loudly, and then, the applause and deafening cheers were like a volcanic eruption, completely overturning the sky of Washington!
One hundred thousand people applauded wildly, and some even shed tears with excitement.
They didn't feel even the slightest bit of fear!
On the contrary, what they feel is an unprecedented sense of security!
In the eyes of ordinary people, Supe is Sword of Damocles hanging above their heads.
The law cannot judge these monsters, and politicians dare not offend these monsters.
Only Homelander!
Only this God of Earth dared to execute his own kind without hesitation for the death of two ordinary civilians!
He does not shield or compromise, he is the balance of absolute justice!
With such an iron-blooded and selfless god watching over their heads, what else do they have to fear?
"Homelander! Justice!"
"Homelander! Justice!"
The fanatical shouts turned into a unified beat.
John stood on the podium, listening to the roar of worship in his ears.
He slowly put away the red light in his eyes and bowed deeply to the audience.
When he straightened up, his handsome face once again wore the signature smile that made All-America country feel at ease.
It's a pity...
John closed his eyes, blocked his hearing, and stood on the stage like a towering statue.
The stage is just a stage after all.
The people thought that he was upholding justice and that he was grieving for the lives of civilians.
But in fact, John doesn't care at all about the life or death of the two hostages, nor does he care about any great United States dream.
The reason why he patrols the sky day and night and sleeps only two hours a day;
The reason why he forcibly reduced the crime rate by 87%;
The reason why he created a Utopia that never picks up things on the road and never closes its doors at night...
Simply because he wants to clean up the world.
John opened his eyes, maintained a smile, and waved to everyone around him.
"The world is getting cleaner and cleaner, Lynn, you will definitely like it."
