Homelander did not let this sudden windfall disrupt his performance rhythm.
With his back to the entire World, he flew resolutely toward the rolling magical mist that filled the sky.
Against this backdrop of apocalyptic despair, his figure, flying against the current, appeared so sacred and magnificent.
The dozens of Vibranium drones circling in the air immediately adjusted their formation, activated full-tracking mode, and followed closely behind Homelander.
They captured every detail of this "God of Mankind" facing the darkness from every angle, without any blind spots.
On the ground, Kaecilius, who had collapsed, was discovered by the Superheroes.
Because he had excessively overdrawn his vitality, his limbs had already withered and shriveled.
Captain America Rogers stepped forward and pressed the edge of his shield against his throat.
"It's over. You've lost."
The surrounding Superheroes also quickly gathered around, pinning down the culprit who had caused all this disaster.
Kaecilius did not struggle; he lifted his face, covered in black cracks, and stared fixedly at the red and blue figure flying toward the Dark Dimension in the sky.
He curled his withered lips and let out a neurotic, cold laugh.
"What are you happy about? Do you think he can save everything?"
"Just watch! Soon, your so-called savior will become an insignificant part of Dormammu."
"Then, it will be your turn, the turn of this World..."
"Bang!"
A heavy steel fist slammed into Kaecilius's cheek, cutting off his words.
Tony Stark flipped open his faceplate, wearing a mocking expression.
"I've wanted to punch you for a long time, old boy with the smoky makeup."
"Listen, no matter how capable your big boss, this Dormammu, is, he picked the wrong opponent today."
"Stop worrying about the future of Earth; you'll be spending the rest of your life in a windowless super-prison, keeping company with a toilet."
Just as Kaecilius was about to retort, a web shot out from the wrist of Tony's armor, precisely sticking over Kaecilius's mouth.
Seeing the smoky-makeup uncle making muffled noises, Tony chuckled: "The kid's invention is kind of interesting."
At this moment, high above in the sky.
Homelander was nearing the boundary where the Dark Dimension met Earth.
He deliberately slowed his flight speed.
Because he understood the importance of cinematic language all too well.
According to the first rule of the Homelander performance method: When facing an ultimate crisis, a hero's entrance must not only be powerful, but also beautiful.
That was why he had put a lot of effort into constructing the scene with the special effects of the gems this time.
Now, as the hope of all humanity, he had to leave enough time for the audience to appreciate and admire his heroic and sacred posture.
Seeing the Dark Dimension getting closer, Homelander activated the Time Stone on the Infinity Gauntlet.
Yes, before coming to Hong Kong, he had specifically made a trip to Kamar-Taj and pocketed this stone.
After having been burned by the Tesseract, Homelander deeply understood one truth: Infinity Stones are safest when you hold them yourself.
Homelander held his breath and focused, then gently twisted it according to the incantation he had learned from Ancient One's notes.
Time loop, setting complete.
He had absolute confidence in his current strength; even against a dimensional demon god, he dared to face it head-on.
But confidence is one thing, and caution is another.
He would always leave himself a way out.
Regardless of whether it would be used or not, adding an extra layer of insurance was never wrong.
After doing all this, Homelander clasped his hands behind his back and, with a proud posture, flew into that dimension of colorful darkness.
Passing through the boundary, the scene before him suddenly opened up.
What met his eyes were floating asteroids like maces, twisted and folded space, and ubiquitous purple-red energy storms.
In the center of this chaos, a massive, twisted giant face hung in the void.
Following the tracking of the Vibranium drones, global viewers finally saw the true face of this dimensional demon god through their screens.
Dormammu's body was composed entirely of twisted space, with purple and red energy storms rolling across the surface of his body.
On that face, two eyes like two blazing purple stars emitted an eerie light that drove people mad.
Layers upon layers of dimensional rifts had already filled his entire face.
However, facing such a terrifying cosmic entity, none of the viewers in front of their screens showed any abnormality.
If it had been ten minutes ago, they would have had a mental breakdown upon seeing this image.
But now, the situation was completely different.
The audience's mindset had undergone a Earth-shaking transformation.
It was as if the appearance of Homelander had encased their spirits in a layer of solid armor.
People were no longer afraid; they clenched their fists and roared crazily at the big screens.
"Kill him! Homelander!"
"Show him the rules of Earth!"
"Don't give him a chance to apologize afterwards!"
Inside the Dark Dimension.
Dormammu's massive eyes rotated, locking onto this tiny creature before him.
"mortal..." Dormammu's voice rumbled through the void, exuding majesty.
"Have you come to join me? Along with this World..."
There was arrogance and greed in Dormammu's tone.
In his eyes, Earth was already food on his plate, and this person before him didn't even count as a bug.
Homelander hovered in the void, his face devoid of any of the awe one should have when facing a demon god.
The drone camera above his head steadily transmitted his close-up to the entire World.
He knew that billions of people were waiting for him to speak now.
Homelander took a deep breath, his chest swelling high.
Then, he looked directly into Dormammu's giant eyes and roared the first sentence he said upon arriving here:
"Dormammu! F*** your mother!"
The entire World fell into a tenth of a second of silence at this moment.
Immediately after, all of humanity was excited!
There were no diplomatic niceties, no heroic declarations, and no idol baggage.
There was only the most direct, crude, and blunt ultimate insult.
People's adrenaline surged, and they entered a mode of grand revelry.
President Ellis waved his fist vigorously. "Well said! This is the spirit of the United States!"
Countless people laughed hysterically in front of their screens.
The previously accumulated repression was shattered by this simple and crude profanity.
The barrage in the live stream was overwhelming, and comments on related topics on social media exceeded ten thousand in seconds.
"Oh! F***! This is our Homelander!"
"I'm dying of laughter, does this big-faced monster even have a mother?"
"After Homelander is done f***ing, let me f***!"
"After you're done f***ing, bring it over so I can f***!"
"Homelander: I'm not just going to save Earth, I'm going to be your stepfather!"
"Alien scum, did you understand Earth language? This is Earth's way of treating guests!"
"I've already taken a screenshot! The best quote of the year is born!"
"Who can calculate the area of Dormammu's psychological shadow right now? Hahahaha!"
