"I'm fine."
Watching the coffin being lowered, Eric said to Diana, "Actually, I've never been more clear-headed than I am now."
"But I can feel that you are suppressing your anger and rage. If it cannot be released, then this suppressed pain will hurt you."
A hint of worry flashed in Diana's eyes, "No matter what happens, I support you. Even if you want to vent your anger, I can be the channel for your release."
"Even if it means war?"
Eric suddenly asked Diana.
Diana, stunned for a moment, replied to Eric, "Of course, even if you declare war on the whole world, I will firmly stand by your side, after all, you once saved me from hell."
"Compared to saving you from the hands of the Underworld King, the price you pay will be a bit much. If this is war, then the flames of war will spread to Themyscira. Even so, are you willing?"
"The warriors of Themyscira never fear battle. We honor battle and take pride in taking the blood and lives of our enemies."
Diana said with a serious expression, "If you can make this world a better place, then why not act? No matter when, my trust in you is consistent."
"This isn't your original thought."
Eric frowned and said, "You said you loved humanity, Diana!"
"That's because if there's a way for humanity to face challenges and crises in a better way, I won't stop it!"
Diana seemed to have guessed what Eric wanted to do.
"Is that so?"
Eric nodded and turned his gaze back to the coffin that was about to be buried.
"I'll tentatively believe that your trust in me outweighs your love for humanity!"
Thud!
The coffin was lowered to the bottom of the dug pit, and Eric turned and left.
Diana also quickly followed.
Bart, Jenna, and the Wonder Twins, among others, exchanged glances and also followed Eric's footsteps.
After greeting his white-haired grandfather, who was holding a sleeping Rachel, Clark turned his gaze to Eric.
Watching Eric leave the funeral with a large group of people, Clark's brows furrowed.
He had a bad feeling!
At the same time, the Presidential Palace.
The President, who was holding a meeting with officials, suddenly heard a bang.
Immediately, a dark figure appeared before him.
"Mr. President, I have something to say to you."
"Wh-what?!"
Seeing Eric, dressed in a black uniform, appear before him, the President was startled.
He immediately fumbled for the phone, preparing to call the security guards.
But Eric quickly moved in front of him in an instant and grabbed him.
"I forgot to tell you, Mr. President, all your guards have been dealt with. If you try to challenge my bottom line again, I will make you like them."
"No! Don't kill me! Homelander!"
The President, who was so scared he almost wet his pants, immediately begged Eric for mercy.
"I won't kill you, but I want you to understand that the war between you and me has begun. Now you are my prisoner, your life and Death are in my hands. And this country is now under my control!"
Eric said words that astonished the President.
Bang!
The next second, the President's body flew heavily out of the office and fell onto the lawn outside.
Immediately after, Eric moved to the President's side with super speed and stepped on his chest with his right foot.
"Homelander!"
Eric heard Wonder Woman's voice nearby, "Someone is filming!"
She hovered in mid-air, saying with a worried expression.
"Perfect, I have something to say."
Eric grabbed the collar of the now disheveled President.
"Are you planning to address the entire American people? I don't think now is a good time."
Although Wonder Woman was quite supportive of Eric striking these politicians and rebuilding a new system, she was worried that the public's reaction would be too strong.
"The world will listen to your voice, but not now, Eric!"
"It is now!"
Eric, with a cold expression, dragged the President forward, "I will hold a press conference at the United Nations."
Before Wonder Woman could react, Eric grabbed the President's body and flew into the sky.
Diana was a bit helpless and had to fly into the sky, matching Eric's flying speed.
United Nations Headquarters.
Officials from various countries, who were arguing over their own interests, were all stunned when they saw Eric dragging the President and landing on the podium.
Looking at the trembling President under Homelander's feet, and then at Homelander's serious expression, they were speechless for a moment, not knowing how to react.
"Today is a very special day, and you should remember it, because from this day forward, the ruler of the United States is no longer this trembling fellow who can't utter a single word. I declare—from today onwards, I will serve as the ruler of the federal government."
"No more wars, no more endless bloodshed from conflicts. From now on, criminals and beasts can no longer roam the world. Everything will be led by me to advance this nation."
Eric's words were broadcast live, and countless people who heard this scene gaped.
"It's all over! From today on, the history of the United States enters a new era!"
Eric's eyes scanned his surroundings as he declared his manifesto.
Jonathan's departure was for him a release of the shackles within his body.
For revenge, and to prevent those around him from being harmed again, he would be the king who controlled everything!
