.....

A massive, alien warship hovered in the sky above.

At that moment, everyone watching TV and live broadcasts was left in complete shock.

Before the appearance of the warship, no one believed Roger's words. To them, things like gods or parallel worlds were pure fiction. The people at Vought International felt the same way; they were eagerly waiting to see Roger make a fool of himself, wondering how he would salvage the situation.

But Roger pulled out his trump card, a colossal, otherworldly, high-tech spaceship!

A warship capable of traveling and leaping through space!

Even though this ship was insignificant among Thanos's fleet, when shrunk down by Pym Particles, it was only about the size of a briefcase. But to the people of The Boys universe, this was like a force beyond their comprehension!

They had never seen anything like this in real life. Sure, they might have witnessed similar warships in movies or TV shows, but never in reality.

When the warship appeared, everyone fell silent, and then shock and disbelief quickly turned into hysteria.

Especially for those who had always believed in the existence of extraterrestrials.

Seizing the moment, Roger continued speaking:

"Precisely because I am not Homelander, I haven't been active in superhero affairs lately. The reason for my absence is that I traveled to a parallel world to help save a world in crisis."

As Roger spoke, the warship above him began projecting a virtual display. It connected to Earth's networks, and a video was broadcasted simultaneously on all screens.

The scene shifted to a devastated world.

Ruined buildings, desolate streets, aimlessly wandering zombies... Just a few frames were enough to depict a world ravaged by a zombie apocalypse.

"This world was overrun by a zombie virus and invaded by aliens," Roger said, as the footage continued, now showing Wakanda.

The screen first displayed the camouflaging trees surrounding Wakanda, then moved past them to reveal the protective barrier encasing the city. Inside, Thanos and his army of zombies were clearly visible.

"I went to that world and, along with its heroes, fought to resolve the crisis of zombies and alien invaders..."

The video then showed Roger and his team surrounded by zombies. The Avengers fought their way through the horde, heading straight for Thanos. Roger and Thor rushed ahead, confronting Thanos, who held five Infinity Stones.

What followed was an intense battle between Roger, Thor, Thanos, and his subordinates. Roger's heat vision and Thor's lightning clashed with the energy beams shot from the Infinity Stones.

In the sky above, the Avengers' warships engaged Thanos's army, while on the ground, they fought against the zombie forces brought by Thanos. Some Avengers even became infected and turned into zombies.

At this point, the audience had completely forgotten about Vought International, forgotten about the scandals involving the superheroes, and even forgotten about the massive warship hovering in the sky.

It was as if they were watching a movie, genuinely worried about the heroes on screen.

As for whether or not the footage was real?

Come on, with a massive warship floating right above them, how could anyone question the authenticity of the virtual images?

Many people began to believe everything they saw, buying into Roger's claim that he had traveled to a parallel universe to save humanity.

Only the Avengers found the whole scene somewhat amusing, as they watched the footage that looked like something straight out of a movie.

Because, in reality, this "documentary" was fake.

While it was true that Roger had saved Earth in the zombie universe and had fought Thanos alongside Thor, the Thanos they faced had already turned into a zombie, along with some of the Avengers.

What was being shown now had been created using Tony Stark's advanced technology, capable of making the fake look real.

Yes, this was the same technology used by Mysterio in Spider-Man: Far From Home.

The reason for creating this "mockumentary" was to help build Roger's image, to make everyone believe that Roger was indeed Superman from a parallel universe and not Homelander.

Roger had known that once he returned to The Boys universe with the Avengers, it would be impossible to hide everything he had done.

That's why he had confessed everything to the Marvel heroes in advance, about Homelander's past actions and his own "dual personality" as Homelander.

The Marvel heroes didn't hesitate long before believing Roger. After all, he had saved their world, so whatever he said, they only doubted him for a moment before trusting him again.

Over the past three months, the Marvel team had put this plan into motion. They filmed the footage, had Hope create Pym Particles, and modified Thanos's warship to bring it into The Boys universe.

Of course, to avoid raising suspicions about the warship, none of the donut-shaped ones from Thanos's fleet were used in the mockumentary. Instead, all of the warships were depicted as diamond-shaped.

On their very first day in this universe, the Avengers immediately executed their well-prepared plan, allowing Roger to deliver the "truth."

So, even though Roger's allies had quickly thrown The Boys universe into chaos and caught Vought International off guard, this entire plan had actually been in the works for at least two months. They had already identified and patched any potential flaws long ago.

This was why everything moved so smoothly today, leaving Vought completely unprepared.

Though neither Vought International nor the government believed the mockumentary, they couldn't deny the giant alien spaceship hovering above them.

Even if the documentary was fake, the overwhelming presence of the spaceship made them believe it had to be real.

When the nearly hour-long mockumentary ended, everyone fell silent.

Everyone who had watched the footage, including Vought International's executives, the FBI and CIA directors, the President and his Cabinet in the White House, and even the members of the Boys hiding in the shadows, had all lost their voices.

Until Roger suddenly spoke again:

"I'm sorry for deceiving you all for so long. I am not Homelander. Homelander died the day I arrived in this world. Yes, I killed him, because I witnessed him murder a child. So, I killed him and took his place...

"So, I'm truly sorry. I really am. But I don't regret killing him, because even if I had to do it all over again, I would. Homelander doesn't deserve your respect, nor your admiration!"

"Then... who are you, if you're not Homelander?"

A reporter suddenly asked.

Roger glanced at the nervous yet hopeful journalist, his lips curling into a slight smile. He pointed to the screen where the footage had just finished playing and said:

"It's all explained clearly in there. I'm not Homelander."

"I am Superman."
