Chapter 376: Every Case Gotham PD Receives Is a Homelander Murder Case!

Gotham City.

Bloss Street.

WEE-OO! WEE-OO!

The blaring of sirens sliced through the filthy air, echoing between rows of decaying brick buildings. Three police cruisers sped down the narrow, trash-strewn street, their tires splashing through puddles of oily rainwater that glistened faintly under the dim streetlights. The scent of rot and diesel fumes hung thick over everything.

For the locals, it was just another night.

Pe...

Chapter 375: The Price of Defying Homelander — A River of Blood in Gotham

Splatter.

Splatter.

Chunks of flesh and bone hit the cracked concrete with a wet smack, sliding apart like spoiled meat left too long in the sun. The mangled remains of two men sprawled at Alex’s feet, steam rising faintly from what had been their bodies. He didn’t even glance at them. His expression stayed calm, detached, as if he were merely stepping over puddles after a rainstorm.

Ahead loomed the factory’s massive steel gate—paint flak...

Chapter 46: Nick Fury Arrives

“Well, well—if it isn’t the legendary owner of the Devil May Cry Detective Agency himself! For a big shot like you to grace a little woman like me with your presence… truly, what an honor!”

Natasha smiled sweetly, her tone all honey and charm.

But Lucas could feel the killing intent hidden beneath that warmth. Behind that gentle smile lurked a predator ready to devour him whole. For a split second, he almost pulled out Judgment and fired just to be safe.

Chapter 45: Skye’s Decision

“Wait—Boss, are you saying… you’re going to teach me magic?!”

Lucas shook his head. “Not magic. I mean awakening your superpower. I have a way to make it happen.”

Skye’s eyes widened in disbelief. She didn’t speak for a long moment—the concept was so far beyond what she’d expected that she needed time to process it.

“You mean… I can actually awaken superpowers?” she repeated mechanically, as if her brain couldn’t keep up.

“Ye...

Chapter 208 – Another Job Offer

Henry wasn’t handcuffed, and no one bothered to tell him what was going on. He was just half-forcibly ushered into an FBI vehicle and driven off toward some unknown destination.

The agents didn’t draw their guns. Their tone was polite enough, but their movements carried the unmistakable firmness of people who wouldn’t take “no” for an answer. Under that soft–hard balance, and with no idea what they were after, Henry could only comply.

If he hadn’t actually ...

Chapter 374: Gotham’s Supervillains Go Wild

Arkham Asylum.

Inside a spacious office, a young man in an impeccably tailored suit—elegant, calm, exuding an almost scholarly air—watched the television screen where Alex was giving his impassioned declaration.

A faint, mocking smile curled the man’s lips.

> “What a clown.”



A few seconds later, that was his final verdict.

Click.

He shut off the TV and promptly dismissed the so-called “Homelander” from his thoughts. 2025-10-09 15:40:14 +0000 UTC View Post

Chapter 373: Homelander Sets Gotham on Fire

He’s insane.

That man is absolutely insane!

That was the one thought flashing through both Emily and Parker’s minds at the same time.

Not just them—even Gordon and the wounded officers lying on the ground were stunned by Alex’s declaration.

Even after being thoroughly beaten by him moments ago—even after witnessing his terrifying power—they still almost burst out laughing.

> “He won’t allow crime in Gotham?”



Who di...

Chapter 44: S.H.I.E.L.D.’s Commission

Early the next morning, Lucas woke up far earlier than usual. After a quick wash, he headed downstairs to the office—only to find that Skye had beaten him to it. She was already at her desk, fingers flying across the keyboard.

“Skye, what are you always tinkering with on that computer? Let me take a look.”

Lucas dragged a chair beside her and leaned in. The screen was filled with dense streams of code—lines and symbols that made his brain feel like it had just bl...

Chapter 43: The Ancient One Arrives

The Ancient One didn’t stand on ceremony—she picked up the teacup and took a small sip.

“This tea is quite good. There’s… magical energy within it.”

Her eyes brightened slightly. She could feel a faint increase in her own mana—minute, but distinct.

“I’m glad you like it, Master Ancient One,” Lucas said, sipping his own tea. Of course it was special—this was tea from the Final Fantasy world, infused with buff effects. What did she expect, Lipt...

Chapter 207 – An Unexpected Yet Expected Development

Henry’s chat with old Gary about Hollywood gossip was nothing more than idle talk. He had no plans to return to that glitzy circus and play the part of an invisible extra again.

The reason was simple — he’d been there, done that, and didn’t find it fun. Nobody ever said being a background actor was a lifelong calling worth dying for.

What he’d do in the future could wait until the future. For now, Henry’s main project was to build a household cleaning robot �...

Chapter 42: The Gears of Fate Begin to Turn

Peter wasn’t the kind of person to overstep boundaries. He knew this place was Lucas’s home after all, and even though he now had a key, he had no intention of coming by all the time.

Lucas, however, got a chill down his spine when he saw the pitiful, heartbroken look on Peter’s face—as if he were watching his dog get taken away.

“Uh… could you not look at me like that? I never said you couldn’t come over, you know~”

The moment Peter heard that, hi...

Chapter 41: Touring the Chocobo Space

Skye chimed in, “I think so. I haven’t seen anything special online lately. Social media’s all just full of dumb pranks from kids. Guess it’s really quiet these days.”

“You’ve got some nerve calling others kids,” Natasha shot back. “You are one. Girls your age are all dressing up, going out, having fun. You’re the only one who holes up in here all day.”

Skye crossed her arms and huffed. “What’s so great about going out? You just run into sleazy ...

Chapter 372: I, Homelander, Will Not Allow Crime in Gotham!

What… what just happened?

A heartbeat ago, that man had been standing more than twenty meters away—just a blur at the far end of the dock, framed by flashing police lights.

Now, suddenly, he was right in front of him.

Gordon’s breath caught. For a fleeting instant, he thought maybe his eyes were playing tricks on him, that the stress and the blood and the chaos were finally taking their toll.

But the look on the other officers’ faces told him otherw...

Chapter 371: Homelander — The Most Arrogant Criminal in Gotham’s History

“You—what did you just do?!”

“What the hell do you want?!”

The survivors were scared out of their wits, their voices breaking and echoing off the cold metal walls of the dockyard. The scent of oil, saltwater, and gunpowder clung thick in the air, mingling with the metallic tang of blood. Even the few who dared to shout at Alex didn’t notice how their words quivered, how fear had already stolen the strength from their legs. Their faces were pale, eyes wide and...

Chapter 206 – The Situation in Los Angeles

The dinner table was piled high with dishes — meats, fish, tofu, greens. Henry devoured most of it, eating with a kind of vengeance. After all, during his time in Switzerland, he’d had to match Audrey Hepburn’s delicate palate and dietary restrictions. It had been almost like grazing every day; now it was time to make up for it.

Old Gary, who had brought along a bottle of bourbon, joined him at the table. Once they’d finished, Henry stacked the dishes in the sink, turne...

Chapter 370: Batman — Homelander, Thanks a Lot!

Crunch!

Inside the Batcave, the sound was so sharp and sudden that it echoed through the chamber like the snap of breaking steel. Alfred—who had been calmly monitoring the field feed from his workstation—froze, his hand hovering midair above the keyboard.

For a moment, his mind went blank.

Master Wayne had fought dozens of criminals these past months, but never—never—had one of them known who he really was.

And yet, here they were.

The man Br...

Chapter 369: Homelander and Batman’s First Direct Clash

How could one make Gotham a city without crime?

It was, without a doubt, an incredibly difficult question.

So difficult that even someone like Batman—who had dedicated his entire life to fighting crime—had never managed to find an answer.

Yet, at the same time, the problem was absurdly simple.

So simple that it didn’t even need deep thought or planning.

How to make it happen?

Just kill every criminal.

Cut the problem off at its ro...

Chapter 40: A Boring Day

After soaking in the hot spring and playing around with Onion, all of Lucas’s fatigue vanished. Feeling refreshed and content, he finally returned to DevilMayCry.

At that moment, Skye was lounging lazily on the couch, happily petting the Moogle. When Lucas suddenly appeared out of thin air, she nearly jumped out of her seat and immediately pulled out a high-voltage taser, aiming it straight at him.

“Hold your fire, Captain! It’s me—it’s me!”

Lucas quic...

Chapter 39: The Chocobo Space

High up in the sky, Lucas rode Onion freely through the clouds, trying every aerial maneuver he could think of. There was no fear of being flung off by inertia—thanks to the special energy field surrounding them, his body stayed firmly attached to Onion’s back.

“Onion, straight up! Let’s see how high we can go!”

Lucas patted the Chocobo’s neck excitedly.

“Wark~~”

Onion chirped, flapping its wings and shooting upward in a straight climb. Its ...

Chapter 38: Chocobo and the Condemner

Peter was still wearing an eager expression as he walked up beside Lucas and said, “Forget about the benefits for now—if you give me your Star Wars limited-edition figurine, I might consider it~~~”

Lucas stared at Peter like he was looking at an idiot and said nothing.

“Fine, don’t give it to me then~~! How about lending it to me for a few days? Just a few days! I’ll return it, I promise!!”

Peter looked utterly pitiful. He had been eyeing that figuri...

Chapter 37: Refusing S.H.I.E.L.D.

Lucas took the small earpiece from the box and placed it behind his ear. Almost immediately, Nick Fury’s deep, gravelly voice came through.
At the same time, Coulson pulled a small cube from his coat and placed it on the counter.

“Mr. Norman, this is Nick Fury, Director of S.H.I.E.L.D. I assume you’ve heard of me.”

“Oh, wow~~ the world-famous director himself,” Lucas replied lazily. “Who hasn’t?”

The cube flickered, projecting the shiny bald h...

Chapter 36: Coulson

Lucas realized his reaction just now had been a bit over the top, so he quietly sat back down.
Now wasn’t the right time to check his new system reward anyway.

“No need,” he said after a moment. “I wouldn’t dare step into one of S.H.I.E.L.D.’s hospitals. I’m afraid if I went in, I’d never make it out alive.”

He knew full well what kind of “research enthusiasm” those S.H.I.E.L.D. scientists had.
If he really walked in there, he’d probably end...

Chapter 35: Mission Complete

The raging tornado seemed to connect heaven and earth into a single roaring line, and within it, the emerald energy was even more violent than the storm itself.

Then—suddenly—everything stopped.

The entire half of New York fell silent. Not a single current of air moved, as though the wind itself had been frozen in place.

BOOM!!!

In the next instant, the massive tornado before Garuda came crashing down, slamming directly into the half-formed Sand Giant b...

Chapter 34: Escalating Threat

“This… this is just… unbelievable!!”

From a distance, Peter, Gwen, and every S.H.I.E.L.D. agent on site stood frozen in fear as they watched Garuda’s raging form tear through the city.

That earth-shattering roar, that overwhelming destructive force—it felt like the end of the world itself. The razor-sharp wind blades had sliced through skyscrapers as though they were paper, leaving mirror-smooth cuts where steel and concrete used to be.

Every single on...

Chapter 33: Garuda’s Descent

The sand giant roared, venting his rage. Every time his massive arm came crashing down, a building fell with it, and the entire street was swallowed by a storm of sand.

“Th-this…”

Peter stared up at the colossal figure blotting out the sun, utterly speechless. He had never imagined Marco could possess such catastrophic power.

“Don’t just stand there! Leave this to me—go evacuate the civilians! Get everyone off this street!”

Lucas patted Peter ...

Chapter 32: Lucas Arrives

Marco had long lost count of how many times he’d shredded through the sticky webbing that clung to him.
The stuff might not be lethal—but damn, was it annoying. And tougher than it looked.

Bang!

Marco swept his arm forward, unleashing a hail of sand bullets. He’d picked up that trick after being trapped in Spider-Man’s webs—turns out it was a pretty effective way to rip the stuff apart.

The whistling barrage made Gwen’s eyes widen. Those weren’t j...

Chapter 31: Battle with Marco

With a heavy thud, something landed hard on top of Marco’s speeding truck—then came a teasing voice.

“Hey there, Mister Marco~~ you’re under suspicion of armed robbery, reckless driving, and a bunch of other charges. I suggest you surrender peacefully, or I’m gonna slap you silly! And trust me, you don’t want that to happen!”

The words had barely left his mouth before a red-and-blue figure flipped upside down and pressed his face against the driver’s side...

Chapter 30: Marco Appears

“Natasha, someone’s hacked into S.H.I.E.L.D.’s mainframe. The signal’s coming from inside your building. Find that person—now.”

Nick Fury’s voice was colder and sharper than usual, the kind that made even seasoned agents straighten up instantly.

And it was serious. S.H.I.E.L.D.’s central system—known to be one of the most secure networks in the world—had just been breached. If that wasn’t a crisis, nothing was.

Natasha turned her head, eyes n...

Chapter 29: The Showdown

“Director Fury wants to speak with you.”

Natasha removed a small black cube from her wrist and set it on the table. A soft hum followed, and a holographic projection flickered to life—revealing none other than Nick Fury, the one-eyed, bald-headed Director of S.H.I.E.L.D.

“Mr. Lucas Norman, it’s a pleasure to finally meet you. I’m—”

Before he could finish, Lucas interrupted casually, waving his hand.

“I know, I know. Nick Fury—the legenda...

Chapter 28: The Black Widow Strikes

Lucas finally dragged himself out of bed and went through his morning routine at a snail’s pace.

Half an hour later, he walked into the Devil May Cry Detective Agency, only to find Skye and the real estate agent sitting on the couch with a woman he didn’t recognize. All three had steaming cups of fragrant tea in their hands.

Just from the aroma, Lucas could tell it was High Mountain Tea—and sure enough, on the coffee table were several human-shaped High Mountain Te...
