Jayr POV - Earth, New York City - 2022

  "Before you release yer on him, I want to ask you. Do you really want to simply kill him, knowing that it will give his soul a ce to be reborn somewhere else and be happy, or do you want to make him suffer for a very long time?"

  Hearing my question, a malignant grin form on Butcher's face as he answers, "Isn't the answer fug obvious!?"

  I nod and expin trying to make it as entig for him as possible, "Then you vent yer and frustration on him as much as you desire, but do not kill him yet, let him watch the world that the Vought built crumble around him, the people that once loved and worshipped him turn their bad hate him for all the evil he itted. Let him live a few more days as a normal everyday human and receive a fair trial where he will be given the capital sentence. Only after that, he will die and with the help of a true God whom I was lucky enough to enter and who gave me his approval, his soul will be sent into another world, with a simir setting to this one, but where he'll be, in his words, a simple man among the gods and will be hated and persecuted for that, it will be a living hell for him, see that everyone has what he had and despise him for being inferior."

  The reason why I'm stopping Butcher from personally killing Homender is because I fear what it would do to him in the long run, especially if the target of his revenge is killed in an act of blind rage, it could very well destroy what little good is left in him ond for all.

  Butcher tio stare at Homender lying on the ground behind me, and simply asks, "Why? Why going through all this?" making me reply, "So that you don't bee a moo put down like him. You still have something to return, Becd Ryan are waiting for you, they need a husband and a father who truly cares for them, not another t like Homender. And while you did your fair shit of fucked up things, it isn't too te for you yet."

  It seems that my words were able to affect him, especially when I called out Becd Ryan's names, at that point, for the first time, sieleported him here, his eyes left the powerless Homender's body lying on the crete and finally looked back at me.

  After a few seds of silence where he g Homender's body, then he looks at me, and after that, he also looks at M.M., Hughie, Frenchie, and Kimiko who are also looking at him and nods encingly, he once again looks at me and says, "Fug diabolical of you to use them against me! Very well, I won't kill that t, but as long as I don't kill him, I kick his ass as much as I want, right?"

  I nod at that, and he smiles and says, "Good... then wake the sleepiy up as her charming prince demands her ass but he fot t the lube!"

  Ign his weird phrasing that be easily misuood, I flick a trace of Spiral o toward Homeo wake him up.

  The effect is instantaneous, as Homender wakes as up with a start, then he looks at me and the first thing he does is narrow his eyes while staring at me, probably with the i of shooting his Heat Energy Beam once more.

  But after a few seds, he realizes that something is wrong and stops and mutters in shock as he looks at his body in horr to uand what is going on, "W-Why I 't? W-What is going on!? I-Impossible!"

  At the same time, Butcher smirks and yells as he walks toward him, "What's wrong, t? 't get it up? Don't worry it happens to the best of us..."

  Hearing his voice, Homender raises his head and finally notices the ining Butcher and asks, "William, why are you here?" making Butcher reply, "I'm here to maintain our promise! A fight, just the two of us! Sorry there isn't any of scorched earth, shod awe, blood and bohat you desired, but it will be the two of us..."

  Then he adds with a grin, "... Two normal humans duke it out on an even field until only one is left standing!"

  Before Homender ask what he means, Butcher rushes at him and punches him in the face, sending Homender crashing to the floor in shock.

  Soon after Homeands up while saying, "Oww!" but then he immediately realizes, "Oww...!? I feel the pain...? You were able to hurt me!? How!? William, what did you do!?"

  Hearing his question, Butcher smirks and asks, "Don't you feel strange? Like moving slower, feeling heavier, being overall weaker?"

  Homender finally realizes what felt s and with dread, he mutters, "M-My powers?" making Butcher's smile even wider as he says, "gratutions! You're one of the first to try the new revolutionary Anti-V. No more Heat Vision, no more flying around, no more Super Speed, no more Super Strength, and more important, no more fug Super Durability! You're now a fug pin normal human like everyone else!"

  After that, Butcher rushes toward the still-shocked Homender and start to massacre him with kid punches, at first, Homeries to fight back, but without the superior capabilities granted by pound V, Homender is just way too weak to fight against a trained special forces marine like Butcher.

  At some point, Homender was a g mess, he even begged Butcher to kill him, but Butcher was brutally effit in his mad rage, he made sure to prolong Homender's suffering for as long as possible, breaking every bone o a time, and waking him up with a ki the nuts every time he passed out from pain, gouging out his eyes, bursting his drums, shog him with a car battery, he did everything possible to make him suffer as much as possible.

  It wasn't a fight anymore, but just pin torture and it was hard to watch, but despite that, Butcher kept enough of his sanity to never push Homender beyond what his body could bear, and in the end, after literally every bone in his body was broken, and he was just an inch from dying, Butcher finally stopped.

  Butcher then spits on the brokehat is Homender's unscious body and turns around and with a calm smile, he lets out a sigh and says, "Ah! Now I feel better... Now you fix him up and put him in jail where I hope his ass will be passed around like a toy until it is time for his trial. After that, I hope that you will keep your word and send him to that livihingy."

  I nod and once more heal the passed-out Homeo make sure that he doesn't die, then I teleport the Boys back to their Headquarters.

  Once I'm aloh the unscious Homender in this empty aated street, I hear the sound of the police sirens in the distance as they quickly approach, a out a sigh as I mutter, "And now I have to deal with the aftermath of all this mess, plus I have to make sure that everyone involved pays for what the Vought did."

  Soon many police cars and SWAT armored vans stop nearby, and as the various officers e out in panic as they try to assess the situation, I remember, "Ah, right! I almost fot! I also have to flush out the other Champion and see what kind of person it is, so that I deal with it in the best and fastest ossible."

  Jayr POV - Earth, New York City - 2022

  I'm now sitting in a simple apartment which is very near Hughie and Anne's apartment, watg on TV the public trial of Vought Iional, its CEO, some of its shareholders, and the board of directors, which is taking pce at the Supreme Court while thinking, 'After this ohere will be Homender's trial, and in the ing day the trials of the other corrupted Supes and politi that were involved in this whole mess. This is going to take a while.'

  A few weeks passed sihe night of Homender's Birthday Special, now called by the people The Judgement Day, a name a little too epid biblical for my taste, but it is better than the hat Butcher uses as he calls it the Day The t Got What She Deserved, that seems almost too close to a title of a low-quality porn movie.

  Anyway, these past weeks were a chaotic mess and the fault is mostly mine as I uimated how muger and criticism the Vought and the Supes' as would spark on a global scale once revealed, as the people around the world all came out onto the streets to protest against the Vought and the Supes sometime very violently especially when Homender's hardcore fanboys came out to try and defend him as they very lynched or even stoo death like a particur school teacher odd Walsh who lived in New York City, who I ter found out was the boyfriend of M.M.'s ex-wife.

  What made the situation even worse was that some corrupted Supes that I exposed went totally rogue and started to do whatever they wanted without g about the sequences and their reputation anymore.

  In some pces, the chaos was so much that I was forced to act to stop them before they could seriously hurt someone, and calm down and disperse the rioting masses, while also resg and healing everyone who got involved in these chaotic matters, and of course, thanks to the fact that I'm ag all around the world regardless of nationality, some people started to refer to me as the Savior or even the Punishment like some knock-off Punisher, most probably because of my introductory speech which is currently one of the most viewed online, and more ironically some mious people even call me Saint Jayr.

  At the same time, the various nations around the world ignored my as as they were more focused on demanding to expedite the trial against Vought Iional, the CEO, the shareholders, Homender, and the Supes for their crimes.

  Of course, these superpowers didn't do it only for the indignation and for the eventual political gains, but also because they wanted a slice of the cake called Vought Iional and all its associates that became readily avaible, and the first on the list of everyone is, of course, the pound V formu, unfortunately, they all still didn't realize that it has magically disappeared from all the world's works and from the mind of all the ohat worked with it.

  Ahing they all ignore is that now, a better and harmless formu is in the inaccessible servers of a newly rising pany called Crateris Global, uhe lead of its new CEO, Rebecca Saunders Butcher (Becca), who is also helped by Anne January (Starlight), Marvin T. Milk (M.M.), Hugh Campell Jr (Hughie), and Margaret Shaw (Queen Meave) and watched over by the upgraded AI Crathy that also gives its inputs on the needed as to resolve all kind of problems, which was able to quickly gain tra, importance, influence, and more important the love of the people as they could instantly feel the differeween this new pany and the Vought's operations.

  Thanks also to the fact that all the well-iioned and i Supes left the sinking ship that was the Vought and followed the lead of Queen Meave and Starlight to join forces together uhe care of this new pany that would soon take the Vought's pce while also doing a better job in helping the people instead of fog on taking their money and ign their plight, add the fact that right now, the Crateris Global's most important product which is publically known is the Anti-V which rends the Supes powerless and that is currently only used to deal with the rogue Supe so that they be held atable for their crimes.

  Regarding the Anti-V, for the moment, we decided to keep the serum's side effect a secret as the situation is already chaotiough more importantly, the side effect would only be noticed in around 100 years at the very least as the first people ied with it would appear way youhan they should because of their extended lifespan.

  Overall, Crateris Global is on the fast track to being a multi-billion pany to the level of the previous Vought, and at that without fog on the earnings too much, as different from Vought Iional, Crateris Global fully intends on being a true Superhero pany, where the Supes will be, supported, trained, helped, aed, and whose final objective is to build a better society and future for everyone.

  Moreover, the fact that the pany iion has an unlimited start-up fund thanks to a certain God who is able to produfinite valuable materials by spending just a little energy, and that magically speed up all the needed bureaucracy with a little bit of mind manipution also helps a lot.

  A thing I did to make sure that Crateris Global doesn't bee corrupted like Vought Iional, was to create a couple of failsafe methods, the first is a magical tract that will ehe safety of dangerous information, and the other is the now upgraded se AI Crathy itself, who will watch over for and take care of any sign of corruption, it has the final authority over everything and responds only to me, Crateris its father and creator, and Saori, because as it was created mostly by Crateris, like the Cloth it has plete loyalty to my version of Goddess Athena, and strictly follows her principles.

  Ohing that didn't go as I hoped is the search for the other Champioe the fact that I'm flying around the world helping as many people as possible, while also being as high profile as possible about it, linking my as to a certain newly rising pany under my ownership as no one says no to some good publicity, the other Champion still did show up or made any move, either to attack, challenge, or tact me, and I wasn't even able to find a sirace of him, it, or her yet.

  While I was remembering the events of these past few weeks, the trial is ending, and they are about to pronouhe sentences for Vought Iional, the CEO Stan Edgar, the board of directors, and even some of the most ied shareholders.

  Of course, in the end, they all were found guilty of crimes against humanity and a whole other bunch of accusations thanks to all the incriminating information I made public.

  The result is that all the Vought Iional and its associates' assets will be fiscated by the State, and the liquid cash will be "used" as a fund to pay the victims, something I'm quite sure won't happen as quickly as the victims hope and that while waiting, some of these will "disappears" somewhere, but it isn't a problem as Crathy will instantly make it public as soon as it happens, as it has basically taken over all the works in the world, 'Luckily, it is on my side and programmed in such a way that it won't gue...'

  Meanwhile, the other more "fixed" assets will be appraised to determihe properties' value, less any cims against them, and they will be stored and maintained while ownership and any third-party cims are heard in court, then if the challeo the fiscation is not effective, the properties will be taken fover use or aued, in that case, the Crateris Global is already prepared to acquire as many infrastructure as possible.

  Fog on the people, the CEO, Stanford Edgar, took most of the bme as "the person in charge" and ended up with multiple life sentences, basically, he will for sure spend the rest of his life in prison, meanwhile, the board of directors ended up with 20 to 50 years depending on their involvement in the criminal activities of the Vought, while some of the shareholders at most have to pay a heavy fine, while the most corrupt ones also ended up in prison for both supp the Vought's criminal activities and the crimes they also itted taking advantage of the Vought's influence.

  As I drink a gss of cold water while waiting for Homender's trial, I hear the sound of a piano pying the unmistakable theme of a certain gangstar who has a dream, of course, that is the ringtone of my phone, Il Vento D'olden Wind) pyed and recorded by a certain handsome young man who couldn't stand have a pin regur ringtone even for something that he will only use in this world.

  I use my telekinesis to pick up the smartphone, see that it is Becca's number, and answer, "Good m, Becca. How I help you?"

  Becca then quickly replies, "Good m, Jayr. I wao inform you that thanks to Queen Meave, Starlight, Supersonid the others, we have caught almost all the rogue Supes, only Boir, Mindstorm, and a few others are still at rge. Then there also is the question of Soldier Boy who is still at that Russian Facility, which is in itself a quite delicate situation..."

  I simply reply, "I uand... thanks for updating me ouation." then I ge the subjed ask, "Anyway, how is going with Ryan and Zoe? Is everything alright?"

  Becca quickly starts to expin with clear joy ione, "With Ryahing is perfect, we are finally free from the Vought and that monster shadow. He finally have the happy childhood I always desired for him, and even Bill be a surprisingly good father figure for him, it seems that while I was gohe two of them truly grew closer."

  Theone calms down and she says, "Meanwhile, Zoe is still very upset about what her mother and grandfather figure did, and still 't face the fact that despite everything they did, she still loves and cares for them. I mean for sure isn't easy to find out that your mother is a mass murderer and that yrandfather allowed so many despicable things to happen only because it brought him profit... I 't eveely uand what she is going through now... The only thing I do is let her know that I'm here for her if she needs it."

  After hearing that I give her a few words of advice, and then I start to remember the meeting I had with Zoe's mother, the Head Popping Supe, Victoria Neuman.

  It happened soon after I turned in Homeo the authorities, as the waves that my exposure of the Vought and the Supes' crimes started to get bigger and bigger, I decided to also take care of another Supe that I knew for sure could cause a lot of casualties if she started rampaging, and so without hesitation, I teleported to her home, who I learhe location thanks to Hughie.

  But as soon as I arrived in front of her house's door, what greeted me, was the voice of a young girl as she yelled, "Mom! Tell me it isn't true!! That you aren't such a monster! How could you do something like that!!?" followed by a woman's voice that said, "Zoe everything I did wa- Zoe!!" but before she could finish, I hear the loud sound of footstep rushing up a set of stairs quickly followed by the sound of a door smming.

  Hearing that, I didn't hesitate and quickly knocked on the door while thinking, 'If I sehat Victoria is about to do something to her daughter, I'll take a page out of Ikki's book and make her feel the true advantage of gender equality by beating the crap out of her.'

  But nothing of such happened, as I sehat after a few moments, she used to repose herself as her daughter's rea did hit her hard, Victoria came to open the door, but at the same time, I also picked up that she reparing to unleash her powers at a moment's notice.

  As soon as she opehe door, she opened her eyes wide in shod surprise, but then her brown eyes instantly turned white as she started to use her power trying in vain to make me explode.

  Meanwhile, I calmly looked at the 1,60 meters tall, olive-skinned woman in her mid-30s with long bck wavy hair that turned a lighter brown at the tip, which like all the other people in this universe looked very simir to the actress that portrayed her in the show, Cudia Doumit, she is ander Farah Ahmed Karim, one of the three pyable protagonists of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, I mean Victoria Neuman, Supe and Director of the Federal Bureau of Superhuman Affairs.

  (Image Here - Victoria Neuman)

  Spoiler

  [colpse]I also was surprised to see her soul through my God of Justice's eyes, it had a shade of red a lot lighter than I thought, while she in no way is a good person she is no way as bad as I thought as with her body t I expected her soul to be closer to pitch bck than her actual color which is pretty simir to Butcher's soul in fact, it is even a shade lighter than him, making me realize, 'That means, that she isn't totally evil who enjoys t harm to others, or that doesn't even care how much suffering she causes as long as she reaches her objectives, sure she is a ruthless, calg, methodical, maniputive, and brutally pragmatian, but she also has a gentler and kinder side as shown a few seds ago as she was truly hurt by her daughter's rea as the barely visible tear mark indicate, but this is greatly offest by her cold upbring at Stan Edgar's hands.'

  While I was thinking that, Victoria realized that her powers were iive against me, so she let out a defeated sigh and said, "I guess hoping that my powers would be effective against the mohat easily defeated THE Homender was too much... So what are you going to do?"

  At that moment, as I looked at her, I also noticed that her daughter was now eavesdropping from the stairs, and with a smile, I said while pulling out a dose of Anti-V, "First, I'm going to give you this, it's a serum of my creation called Anti-V, it will ralize the pound V in your body turning you batur human. Then you will peacefully turn yourself in while also testifying for other crimes you know of. In exge, I'll make sure that you'll face a lesser charge, while also making sure that your daughter will be safe and protected from all harm."

  As she was surprised by my offer I expined, "I'm giving you this ce to ge because I see that you aren't a totally evil person and probably what you did wasn't only for your own gain and ambition but also to keep your daughter safe, but you still have to pay for your crimes. At least this way you'll also have the ce to get out earlier, repent for your crimes by doing good from now on, and fix the rapport with your daughter, what do you say?"

  Then Victoria didn't hesitate at all as she took the Anti-V, but at the same time, her daughter, Zoe yelled, "Wait mom!" but she ignored her and ied it into her body herself as she said, "Deal!"

  After that, Victoria told her daughter that she loved her and that she left her in my care before taking the car and going to the police to turn herself in.

  I and Zoe watched her do so from a safe dista the same time, I also forted her tellihat I'll make sure that her mother will be fine and that she will have all the time she wants to get angry at her and then five her for what she did, as for Victoria she is the most important thing.

  I then took the distraught Zoe to Becca to expin to Becca everything about Zoe's situation, and of course, Becca weled her with open arms.

  But suddenly my fshback is interrupted, by the sound of my apartment's doorbell, and using my senses I realize that there are two people standing in front of my door, one of them is Hughie but he feels strange, almost nervous, and as I sehe other I realize why, the other person is a woman, but she isn't someone I reize and more important, she doesn't feel like a normal human at all, but a race that feels vaguely simir to one I felt before, a race that I know for sure it does in this Universe, making me instantly realize, 'The other Champion!!'

  Odyin
