Stormfront, the new leader of the Seven, has always had a dream: to create a society dominated by superhumans, where all white people would be transformed into superhumans.

Her plan was to exterminate all people of color, establishing a massive empire of superhumans.

However, Vought International didn't want to pursue this, or rather, the board of shareholders led by Edgar didn't.

Because it simply made no sense.

The resources on Earth are finite. Even if they ruled the world, resources would remain limited, and the upheaval caused by such a regime change would plunge the world into chaos.

And that chaos would harm Vought's profits. Even if they succeeded in overthrowing every government and creating a new state, the losses incurred during that transition wouldn't be recovered anytime soon.

Moreover, the whole idea lacked any purpose.

As long as there remained a clear distinction between ordinary humans and superhumans, Vought could extract maximum profit.

If everyone became a superhuman, Vought would have to spend enormous sums developing new drugs for these superhumans, and their entertainment division, which revolved around superhero branding, would take a massive hit.

Therefore, Vought did not support Stormfront's vision and kept her sidelined until now.

However, Stormfront wasn't content to let her ideas go. She secretly built her own faction, using Compound V to create new superhumans.

Lamp Lighter, who recently rejoined the Seven, had been one of Stormfront's followers, tasked with overseeing the new superhumans created through Compound V experiments. He had done so until recently when Homelander defected, taking several heroes with him. After that, Lamp Lighter's role ended, and he returned to the Seven.

Vought was aware of Stormfront's activities but chose to turn a blind eye due to her strength and status, quietly obstructing her efforts in the background.

Originally, this hidden conflict could have continued indefinitely, with one side eventually prevailing.

But now, with Roger's arrival and the appearance of an alien spaceship, both sides have found themselves on the same page.

Edgar, although still opposed to Stormfront's ideology, realized that under the current circumstances, he had no choice but to cooperate.

If they didn't retaliate, Vought would eventually be divided and devoured by the government, and all that Vought had built would be destroyed.

Thus, Edgar and Stormfront formed an alliance. Edgar would handle the politicians in Congress, while Stormfront... would go to the White House and kidnap the President.

"Fire! Fire!!"

Tat-tat-tat,

At the outer perimeter of the White House, Stormfront, Shockwave, and Black Noir were advancing head-on, breaking through the defenses. Lamp Lighter stood at a distance, holding his flaming staff, accompanied by The Deep, uncertain whether to join the fray.

The events of the past few days had happened too fast, and they were far too surreal.

No one could have predicted that the once prestigious and world-famous Seven would fall to this state, let alone that Stormfront would make such a drastic and insane decision.
