"Crying cannot change the fact that your hands are stained with blood."
"But now, you have an opportunity to wash away these blood debts."
Everyone looked at Homelander upon hearing this.
"Go and find the Eternals on other Planets."
Homelander finally showed his fox tail.
"Find the Planet they are on. Then, Tiamut will arrive there and remove the God seed from the Planet's core!"
"Furthermore, he will leave behind a surrogate seed to delay the Gods' perception. This will buy you more time."
"Not only that," Homelander added, "Tiamut will grant you the ability to restore the Eternals' memories."
"Go! Wake them up! Let more Eternals see the truth and join our great mission!"
"Together, let's save the Universe! Let's bring a clear sky to the Universe!" Homelander said passionately, clenching his fist.
Homelander's words were like a bolt of lightning! Like a lighthouse in the darkness, they re-illuminated the meaning of their existence!
The hearts of these Eternals were filled with endless sin and guilt.
Every time they arrived at a Planet, they considered themselves Guardians, only to find in the end that they were the biggest accomplices.
If they didn't atone for their sins, they wouldn't even have the courage to continue living.
And Homelander had given them a path, a path to redemption.
Gilgamesh was the first to raise his fist: "I'll go! Even if I die in battle, I will stop them!"
"Count me in," Tina followed closely behind.
Phastos, Sersi, and Makkari also ignited their fighting spirits.
"We must do this!" Ajak's tone was firmer than ever before.
But soon, her brows furrowed as she thought of a realistic problem.
In the vast Universe, they had no idea where the other Eternals had been deployed.
"It's not like we can go and ask Arishem the Judge, right?"
Tiamut seemed to see through what Ajak was thinking.
"Ajak, I have already modified the God communication orb inside you."
"It will now automatically search for and link to the orb held by the nearest Eternal leader."
"You just need to follow the guidance of the orb to find the next Planet being used as an incubator."
Tiamut's towering palm lifted slightly.
"After arriving at the target Planet, contact me through the orb, and I will arrive immediately."
Everything was arranged properly.
After experiencing a brief breakdown, the Eternals not only found a new goal but also found a reason to live.
They each placed one hand on their chest and bowed deeply to Homelander.
Then, a wave of blue energy swept over, and the Eternals were sent back to V.G.D. Headquarters by Ego.
Notification! Gained special popularity value +15000! (From Ajak)
Notification! Gained special popularity value +15000! (From Tina)
Notification! Gained special popularity value +15000! (From Sersi)
Notification! Gained special popularity value +15000! (From Gilgamesh)
Notification! Gained special popularity value +15000! (From Makkari)
Notification! Gained special popularity value +15000! (From Phastos)
Having received the popularity value, Homelander nodded with satisfaction.
This wave not only manipulated a group of interstellar workers but also earned a sum of special popularity value; it was a win-win.
Thinking of the special popularity value, it seemed he hadn't gone to the system to draw blind boxes for a long time.
Mainly because things had been going so smoothly lately!
He had almost forgotten the core function of this system.
Since he thought of it, he might as well go back and do a couple of draws.
He immediately stretched, preparing to open a portal.
"Great Master, please wait a moment," Ego hurriedly called out to stop him.
"What else is there?" Homelander asked, turning his head.
"It's about Dark-Ego," Ego reported, "His condition is deteriorating severely. If this continues, he will soon fall into a deep slumber."
Homelander frowned: "What's going on? Is he sick, or is he having trouble adjusting to the environment?"
"It is the decay of his divinity..." Ego explained, "Darkseid possesses dark divinity, and all his power stems from it. Dark divinity must be maintained through constant conquest and enslavement."
"Dark-Ego is now all alone, with nothing to do, no territory, and no subjects to enslave. His divinity is withering, and his power is constantly draining away."
After listening, Homelander fell into deep thought.
Dark-Ego was one of the top combat forces in his hands right now, and he absolutely couldn't just let him lie around and go to waste.
"Since he needs conquest..." A gleam flashed in Homelander's eyes.
"Then let him out! Send him into the depths of the Universe!"
Homelander instructed.
"Let him go conquer, destroy, and enslave those alien civilizations! Let him unleash his dark divinity to his heart's content."
"Turn those Planets into burning seas of fire, and make those aliens tremble and despair at his feet!"
Ego was a bit stunned upon hearing this.
"But Master... didn't you just say you wanted to save the Universe?"
"Idiot!" Homelander glared at Ego, "If he doesn't beat those civilizations into submission and force them to the brink of despair, how can I come out to save the day?"
Homelander opened his arms, lost in a fanatical fantasy.
"When Dark-Ego has tortured those civilizations to the brink of death and they are in their darkest hour, I, Homelander, will then descend like a God and save them one by one!"
"Only then will they know who the true savior is! And who they should offer their most fanatical faith to!"
"Perfect!" Homelander couldn't help but applaud his own genius plan.
Ego's six eyes blinked repeatedly as he listened, gaining a new understanding of his Master's level of shamelessness.
"Great! Master, your wisdom is more magnificent than the Universe!" Ego flattered him repeatedly.
"Oh, right," Homelander added, "If you encounter those trash civilizations that have no gratitude in their brains, and saving them would be a waste..."
Homelander made a throat-slitting gesture.
"Just have Dark-Ego wipe them out! Convert them all into those... what were they... right, Parademons."
"Also, one very important point: if you encounter a terrestrial Planet suitable for humans to live on, warn him to go easy, don't plant fire pits everywhere, and keep the environment protected!"
"I obey your will, great Master!" Ego respectfully accepted the order.
"Work hard, don't let me down!"
Homelander nodded with satisfaction, sparks flickered in front of him, and a portal opened.
He left.
...
At this moment, Ajak and the others, who had been sent back to V.G.D. Headquarters a step earlier, hadn't yet had time to calm down.
They ran into Kingo, who had rushed over excitedly to find them.
"Hey, everyone," Kingo leaned in and gossiped, "I heard Homelander went to chat with you guys just now? How did it go? How many years did he sentence you to?"
Ajak and the others looked at each other and all gave a bitter smile.
Gilgamesh shrugged and replied: "Exile, exile to the Universe! Life imprisonment."
