Seeing Homelander's miserable state, Dormammu began to tempt him.
"Give up your resistance, pathetic mortal."
"Before my power, your struggle is not worth mentioning, and persistence is meaningless."
"Submit to me, merge with me, and only then will you be able to feel what true power is like."
Dormammu even offered terms.
"As long as you are willing to submit, I promise you this. After I devour your World, I will preserve your individual consciousness."
"I will make you the most powerful apostle under my command and let you experience the true greatness of dark power."
Hearing this temptation, the people in front of the screens held their breath, their hearts in their throats.
They were afraid.
Facing such a powerful demon god, facing the temptation of eternal life, could even Homelander truly withstand it?
"Heh..."
Homelander gave a light chuckle, propping himself up with his hands on his knees, forcing himself to endure his "injuries" and standing up bit by bit.
"You are wrong, Dormammu..."
"You are the one... who doesn't understand power."
Dormammu smiled contemptuously: "Is that so? But you can't even stand steady."
"You have lived for so long, relying on destruction to intimidate the weak, and relying on devouring to fill the emptiness in your heart."
"Is this your so-called power?"
"Stop joking!" Homelander roared, his voice rising.
"Let me tell you! What true power is!"
Homelander stood straight and puffed out his chest.
His gaze crossed over Dormammu and looked at the few remaining drone cameras.
"Listen, everyone on Earth!"
"The reason I am standing here is not because I was born warlike, nor because I crave slaughter!"
"It is because of you!"
"It is because of the bonds between all life on this Planet!"
"It is that... Love... which is invisible and intangible, yet allows me to crawl out of hell time and time again!"
"As long as you do not give up hope, as long as you still love me in your hearts, I will never fall!"
Homelander turned his gaze to Dormammu, his eyes seemingly burning with an inextinguishable Fire.
"Dormammu, you are a pathetic monster. You have devoured everything, yet you have severed all bonds."
"Although you are massive, you are an empty shell!"
"But me! I have the support of billions of family members! I carry the love of a World! This power is something you will never understand!"
Homelander's roar echoed for a long time in the Dark Dimension.
His psychological suggestion, combined with the grand narrative and the tragic performance, formed a trifecta.
It was as if a nuclear bomb had been detonated in everyone's heart.
On Earth, it was completely boiling over.
No one cared if these lines were overly sentimental, because in the face of life and death, extreme sentimentality is the ultimate weapon.
People's emotions were completely guided, and the floodgates of release were blown open.
"We love you! Homelander!" On countless streets, people were crying and waving their hands frantically at the screens.
"You are not fighting alone! Brother! Beat him!" In bars, burly men raised their glasses and roared hysterically at the screens.
"Homelander! I support you! Screw his mother! You are the strongest!"
Hong Kong battlefield.
Skye looked at the sky, wiping tears from the corners of her eyes over and over again.
"You must come back alive, Anthony. I love you."
Captain Rogers also raised his shield, his blood boiling, and roared at the sky: "Let him see the backbone of Earth! We are with you!"
The newly awakened Ancient One looked at the TV on the wall, complex emotions flashing in her eyes.
She sighed slightly and muttered in a low voice: "You are indeed a terrifying guy, Anthony. But perhaps... only you can save this World."
Various forms of "Love," like an irreversible torrent, turned into pure popularity value and surged crazily toward Homelander.
"Homelander! We love you!!!"

Hit the jackpot! Hit the jackpot!
Homelander was ecstatic! He quickly lowered his head to avoid his twisted smile being captured by the camera.
After calming down a little, he slowly raised his head and looked at Dormammu, who was still looking confused, trying to understand what "Love and bonds" meant.
"Now, Dormammu."
Homelander clenched his fists, an energy storm gathering around him, kicking up waves of golden air!
"Are you ready to welcome... the Love from all of humanity?"
Dormammu retreated.
That massive giant face involuntarily pulled back a distance.
Now, he could no longer bother to think about what the nonsense about "Love and bonds" from this human's mouth actually meant.
He only knew that the power erupting from this tiny creature at this moment made him feel a sense of crisis he hadn't felt in millions of years.
"Arrogant worm!"
Dormammu shouted angrily, trying to hide his inner unease.
He no longer held back and began to consume his own source of power to launch his ultimate move: Dark Fission Wave.
"Take your love and bonds, and perish together!"
Dormammu let out a roar that shook the space.
This was one of his strongest killing moves, used with all his might.
Even Mephisto had once retreated in the face of this move and was driven back to the Hell dimension.
Facing this torrent of darkness that reached the sky and the Earth, Homelander did not choose to clash beams this time.
A flash of light appeared in his eyes.
Skill activated: Weakness Detection!
Immediately after, in Homelander's line of sight, a bright red crosshair appeared in the center of Dormammu's massive and chaotic energy body.
That was Dormammu's energy core.
"Come on!"
Homelander roared, advancing instead of retreating.
Facing that terrifying energy of destruction, he dove right in!
"Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle!"
The violent and chaotic dark energy frantically washed over his body.
Homelander gritted his teeth, hard-pressed against the long-lost pressure and pain, moving upstream.
Like a golden sword cutting through the darkness, he pushed against the endless resistance and rushed to the mark in front of Dormammu.
"Remember, Dormammu! The person who defeats you is named—Homelander!!!"
With this cry that shook heaven and Earth, Homelander pulled his right arm back sharply and, with a 100% charged punch, slammed it solidly into him!
Love Infinite!!!
"Bang!!!"
No sound could describe the vibration of this moment.
A visible, distorted shockwave of space, centered on the fist, spread frantically outward in a ring.
Wherever it passed, the spatial barriers of the dimension shattered like a mirror.
The audience on Earth didn't even have time to look closely before the screen exploded with a burst of White light, and then the image disappeared.
Thus, all Vibranium drones were destroyed.
