.....

The battle axe cleaved through Stormfront's body, embedding itself into the ground.

Her torso was cut diagonally from the chest down, and she lay on the ground, her eyes wide open, staring blankly at the blue sky.

In the distance, Thor's silhouette appeared behind the axe. Descending from the sky, he landed beside the axe and looked at the Stormfront he'd just split in half. He paused for a moment before turning to Roger and saying:

"Sorry, I thought she was tougher, so I didn't hold back..."

"It's fine. She wasn't a good person anyway."

Roger walked over to Thor, patting him on the shoulder. As he caught a whiff of alcohol from Thor, his lips twitched involuntarily, but he quickly ignored it and walked over to the lifeless Stormfront lying on the ground.

From the moment Stormfront mentioned she had access to the nuclear codes and keys, Roger knew this was a problem he couldn't handle on his own.

So, during his descent, he quickly mobilized the Avengers. First, he sent Hope to track down Shockwave, who had been standing by. Then, he had Thor reach the scene as fast as possible.

Roger could have killed Stormfront directly, but her position made things tricky.

If he used his heat vision, he could indeed pierce through her body. However, it would also shoot through the White House behind her and possibly hit some unfortunate souls who happened to be in the "trajectory."

Thus, Roger had Thor come in for a surprise attack, eliminating the threat before it escalated.

Moreover, Stormfront was, without a doubt, a character modeled after Thor in this world. Having the real deal deal with the fake, a male facing off against a female, was quite fitting.

Stormfront, although bisected, had not died immediately.

Her superhuman vitality allowed her to feel pain while sustaining life for a little longer.

She glanced down at her body, seeing the massive axe embedded in her waist, blocking the view of everything below.

Knowing she didn't have much time left, Stormfront reached out to Roger, seemingly wanting to say something.

Roger, out of respect for her imminent death, approached her and asked:

"Do you have something to say?"

"Why... why...?"

Stormfront wanted to ask why Roger did this.

Becoming the king of superhumans, the leader of a new world, how many people dreamed of such power? Roger had the strength and potential for it, yet he chose to stand against Stormfront alongside those humans.

From Stormfront's perspective, she couldn't comprehend Roger's thinking.

Roger sighed, answering her question:

"Because it's too much trouble."

"Trou...ble?"

"You heard what I said earlier. Did you think I was just stalling for time and making stuff up? I wasn't. The stalling was real, and so were my words. I genuinely believe ruling the world is pointless.

"Besides, even if you wanted to rule the world, you're going about it the wrong way."

"...?"

"You planned to use superhuman strength to establish a government with absolute authority, forcing everyone to live under the rule and oppression of superhumans, right?
