Facing the enemy's provocation, Homelander picked his ear with his pinky, putting on a disdainful expression that said, "What are you mumbling about? I'm not even listening," and said indifferently, "First, let me correct one thing: I'm not familiar with these wastes, so there's no such thing as infighting... Besides, I don't need anyone else's help to deal with you guys!"
Are you kidding? Killing is my only strong suit.
Do I need others' help for this?
Are you looking down on me?
Bloodstorm scanned the members of the capture team and sneered, "Do you think you're stronger than them?"
"Don't compare me to that trash."
The smile on Homelander's face gradually turned ferocious, "They are just humans, and I... am a God!"
"Hahaha..."
Upon hearing this, Bloodstorm turned to his two companions behind him and said, "Did you two hear that? A mere demon god's agent actually claims to be a God?"
"Yeah, isn't this guy crazy?"
Dazzle and Ravage also burst into laughter.
But the next second, Dazzle's face suddenly changed, and he exclaimed, "Watch out!"
Bloodstorm, reacting quickly, turned his head sharply and was met with Homelander's ferocious face, close at hand, and his eyes gleaming with a vicious red light.
But he, who was known for his strong defense, scoffed confidently:
"Don't waste your effort, it's useless... Even the missiles launched by you humans can't cause any damage to the rock-like skin on my body!"
Zzz—
Homelander's hands, like iron pliers, firmly gripped Bloodstorm's shoulders, and his Cyclops, powerful enough to melt steel, blasted directly at the opponent's face at close range!
But just as Bloodstorm had said.
The Cyclops beam hit the opponent's face without causing any damage.
It only left a shallow white scratch, which quickly healed.
"I am... God!"
Homelander seemed to be enraged, and the Slaanesh Rune on his forehead suddenly erupted with dazzling and eerie purple light.
The immense Slaanesh Psionic Power began to converge madly into his eyes, then mixed with the Cyclops beam and was released.
"Ah ah ah... What's going on? Let go of me, you despicable bastard."
This time, the Psionic Energy Cyclops beam successfully tore through Bloodstorm's defense, and amidst his wails and curses, his body was forcibly "split" into two halves.
"What? Without the protection of this defense, you can't fight?"
Homelander disdainfully threw the two halves of the corpse to the ground, then stomped twice, directly crushing Bloodstorm's head.
Hiss...
Feeling the extreme pleasure instantly filling his entire body, Homelander subconsciously clamped his legs together, and only when the fierce aftertaste slightly subsided, did he turn to look at the other two demons.
"Now... it's your turn!"

...
"Damn it, Ravage, forget about that tin can for now, let's take care of this agent together."
Dazzle was instantly shocked. Bloodstorm was arguably the strongest in close combat among their Night Demons!
Yet he was so easily dealt with by the opponent?
It seems Smoke Eater was right before, this guy is definitely not an ordinary demon god's agent!
Buzz—
A magic wave that could cause dizziness swept towards Homelander.
But just as it was about to touch Homelander, it was instantly dispelled by the purple psionic energy emanating from him.
Are you kidding? Dazzle was only using a common "demon dizzy magic."
Does it deserve to contend with Slaanesh Psionic Power, which can elevate human spirit and emotion to the extreme?
Zzz—
Pfft—
Homelander fired a Psionic Energy Cyclops beam, directly blasting Dazzle's head from a distance, then turned to look at Ravage, saying without much interest:
"I hope you can give me a little more thrill in combat?!"
"Roar!" Ravage let out a furious roar, immediately giving up on stripping Iron Man's armor, and manipulated the thorny wires on his body to attack Homelander.
The latter, however, stood still, allowing the wires to bind him like a zongzi, and casually looked at Tony Stark, who was smoking on the ground, provoking him:
"Sometimes I really don't understand why so many idiots like you..."
"In my opinion, the so-called Iron Man is nothing but a useless tin can!"
"You can't even deal with this level of trash, and you still have the nerve to call yourselves superheroes?"
As he spoke.
Homelander suddenly exerted force, directly breaking the thorny wires that were wrapped around him and constantly tightening!
"Ah ah..."
Ravage immediately let out a mournful wail. Those thorny wires were inseparable, like a part of his body.
But the next second, Homelander had already flown in front of him.
"Too noisy!"
Homelander clapped his hands together in front of him like swatting a fly, and with a "thud," he smashed Ravage's wire-entangled head to pieces.
Then, while shaking off the blood from his gloves, he showed a harmless smile to the drone camera filming in mid-air.
"Dear fans, do you see? Now tell me... who is the real superhero?!"
"Compared to my The Seven, no one cares about the Avengers!"
Who could have imagined?
The three Night Demons who had just brutally defeated the capture team, almost wiping them out, were so vulnerable in front of Homelander?
Sizzle sizzle sizzle—
The spirited Homelander seemed to want to use this battle to completely nail these main members of the Avengers to the pillar of shame.
So he stood still and activated his Cyclops, indiscriminately sweeping the group of Vampires lurking in the darkness, ready to move.
Pfft pfft pfft—
The front ranks of the Vampire army fell in swathes like mown wheat.
Those further back were all terrified by such a chilling scene and fled in a panic without looking back.
"Hahaha..."
Homelander felt increasingly thrilled with each kill... Yes, literally, extreme pleasure, wave after wave, impacting his brain nerves as the Vampire army fell!
This was simply a brand-new version he had never experienced.
Homelander had never thought that killing Vampires could bring him so much joy?
He was really starting to love this feeling now... No, he should say he couldn't stop!
This was much more satisfying than "Getsuga Tensho."
"I'm a goddamn genius! I found a win-win method like this that allows me to legitimately kill 'people,' experience extreme pleasure, and gain the adoration of the world!"
His unrestrained, sinister laughter echoed under the dark sky.
Captain America and the others, who were completely stunned, for a moment couldn't distinguish whether the Vampires or Homelander was the true villain.

"Mr. Homelander, something bad has happened, an emergency..."
Just as Homelander was in the midst of his killing spree, his female assistant Ashley Barrett's slightly anxious voice suddenly sounded from the communicator.
"Starlight and Queen Maeve encountered an unusually powerful enemy during their mission to intercept Vampires in Binghamton City. The situation is extremely critical, and they urgently need your help!"
"Hmm?"
Homelander's face immediately turned ugly, and he questioned in an unfriendly tone:
"I remember I told you before that I would be solely responsible for all supernatural events, didn't I?"
"Sir, please let me explain..."
Even over the phone, Ashley Barrett's trembling voice revealed how nervous she was at that moment.
"The company did not authorize their operation. This was entirely Queen Maeve and Starlight's private action, and I was not aware of it beforehand!"
"However, considering their status as members of The Seven, if anything unexpected happens to them in battle, it will inevitably have a huge impact on Vought Corporation's stock price..."
Hmph, they brought this upon themselves. These two bitches clearly want to steal my spotlight!
Homelander didn't believe that selfish people like Starlight and Queen Maeve would genuinely go to Binghamton City behind the company's back to rescue civilians.
It wasn't that Homelander was narrow-minded and judged others by himself.
It was just that The Seven had done too many bad things together that were unknown to others.
They all knew each other's true faces hidden beneath their hypocritical masks.
So, they were all from the same brothel... Ah, no, they were all foxes from the same mountain, who didn't understand whom?
And the truth was just as Homelander had guessed.
The reason Starlight and Queen Maeve disobeyed his orders and went to Binghamton City for a rescue mission without Vought Corporation's knowledge.
They just wanted to take the opportunity to slightly regain some of the popularity that Homelander had completely surpassed.
After all, in their opinion, Homelander had "turned the tide" and gained public recognition through his heroic performance in handling the Vampire incident in Chicago.
They unanimously believed that this kind of thing was easy to do!
And, if they didn't seize this opportunity well.
It wouldn't be long before Homelander might legitimately kick them out of The Seven, citing their continuous decline in popularity, drop in approval ratings, or poor commercial value.
Therefore, to preserve their current status and commercial value, they had to take risks.
However, Starlight and Queen Maeve clearly greatly underestimated the scale of this Vampire crisis and the strength of the Smoke Eater guarding that city.
They naively thought they could also kill in all directions like Homelander did before, thereby gaining both fame and fortune!
Little did they know, if it weren't for slaanesh's blessing last time, Homelander's soul would have probably been devoured by the Smoke Eater.
And so... Starlight and Queen Maeve, who thought "I can do it," soon found themselves surrounded after the battle began.
Starlight was even hit by the Smoke Eater's demonic magic that could corrupt human souls, and she fell into a deep coma.
If it weren't for Queen Maeve's desperate rescue, she would have probably been torn to shreds by the swarming Vampires long ago.
Seeing the critical situation, Queen Maeve finally had to send a distress signal to Vought Corporation, hoping Homelander would come to their aid.
"Sir?"
Ashley Barrett asked somewhat uncertainly, confirming if he was still listening.
"I know," Homelander replied impatiently, "I'm going to save those two useless bitches right now."
Although he was very reluctant, and even wished those two bitches would die there.
But his assistant was right, they were members of The Seven after all.
If they really died there, Vought Corporation's superheroes would inevitably be questioned by the world, and the stock price would collapse again.
Just thinking about how to boost the stock price now gave Homelander a headache.
How would a rough man like him understand that stuff?!
Hetui~
Homelander put away the drone, and before leaving, he didn't forget to disgust Captain America and the others, then brought his legs together → bent → pushed off the ground, taking off into the sky in one smooth motion.
He flew towards Binghamton City.
"Damn it!"
Tony Stark was almost half-dead with anger.
If the High-Frequency Electromagnetic Pulse hadn't been released in time, Homelander wouldn't have stolen all the thunder.
Look at that smug expression!
What a piece of work!
Tony Stark immediately decided that he had to find time to specifically "enhance" Jarvis in the future.
Otherwise, it was a bit behind the times!
"Phew... that guy's finally gone."
Captain America, covered in blood and with his bones almost shattered, and Bruce Banner, who was silently huddled on the ground, not daring to make a sound, both let out a long sigh of relief.
"Captain, are you all right?"
At this moment, Nick Fury's voice sounded from the communicator.
"I'm not dead yet, but Barton's situation seems a bit grim and requires immediate treatment!"
As he spoke, Captain America had already struggled out of the rubble, first glancing at the Quinjet that had crashed to the ground.
The left half of the wing was completely broken, and the fuselage was also damaged and on fire, emitting plumes of black smoke.
He didn't know the cause of the crash, whether it was because the pilot was interfered with by Dazzle's magic, or if it was affected during the battle between Homelander and the three Night Demons.
But no matter what, this plane was definitely unusable.
Captain America endured the excruciating pain and added, "Fury, the plane crashed, it looks like you'll have to send another one!"
Nick Fury immediately replied, "No problem, the plane will be taking off soon, and I expect it will reach you in a few minutes."
