Chapter 308 - The Final Iron Man: Captain, You Really Are America's Ass

 "So he has some kind of magic too? Unbelievable! He has too many superpowers!"

A high-ranking US military official watched the video clips of Homelander playing on the large screen. This was none other than General Ross, Bruce Banner's father-in-law.

"Yes, we suspect he also has super vision and super hearing. After all, on several occasions during battles, he suddenly heard a distress call and rushed to the rescue. The person he saved was at least a kilometer away, yet he still heard them. This leads us to believe he possesses super vision and hearing. In addition to his magical abilities, he can also survive in space," his subordinate reported.

General Ross listened intently to the report. How did it sound? Lin Feng's threat seemed even greater than the Hulk's.

They had previously gone to great lengths to capture the Hulk, all in the hope of creating a Hulk serum. But now it seemed this man was the true powerhouse.

Despite S.H.I.E.L.D.'s efforts to cover it up, Homelander's existence—even as just a street-level hero—was being extensively studied by major powers and even foreign intelligence agencies. Thick files of research material had accumulated.

"Can humans really reach this level?" General Ross's eyes burned with disgust. One green monster was already enough; now another Asian monster had emerged.

*Disgusting.*

He loathed such superhuman, unnatural powers.

Of course, that didn't stop him from wanting to create another Hulk—a controllable one. But it was useless; the only somewhat successful attempt involved injecting the Hulk serum, only for the subject to be brutally beaten to death by the Hulk himself.

General Ross wanted to ask about the possibility of capturing him, but he didn't know Lin Feng's true identity. All they knew was that he was an Asian Homelander—that was the extent of their knowledge.

Everything else was completely obscured, as if Lin Feng's entire body were pixelated.

No matter who filmed it or what video they took, the effect was always the same.

Those who had actually witnessed Homelander's true face would turn around and immediately forget what Chinese people looked like.

This was the fundamental reason Lin Feng had been able to remain low-key so far—no one else even knew who he was.

The second factor was Lin Feng's terrifyingly overwhelming combat power. Even the Hulk's displays of strength paled in comparison, making any comparison between them utterly pointless.

Lin Feng's combat power was truly city-destroying. As far as anyone could tell, he had no weaknesses.

In fact, some analysts, after examining the data from his battles, concluded that his body's durability was so immense that even direct hits from heavy weaponry would be utterly ineffective against him.

Moreover, his flight speed was so extreme—far exceeding several times the speed of sound—that it was questionable whether current ballistic missiles could even track him.

Even hypothetical hypersonic missiles, still in the design phase, would likely be unable to catch him.

His speed was at least ten times the speed of sound, and this was a crude estimate; it didn't even account for his true maximum velocity when flying at full power.

Even a nuclear bomb would be of little use to Lin Feng. While there's no direct evidence, researchers believe that given his extraordinary abilities, nuclear radiation likely couldn't even scratch his defenses.

Throughout the entire battle, he never sustained a single scratch. Even if he had been damaged and then recovered at lightning speed, it would at least have shown that he wasn't invincible. A mere scratch would have been preferable to being completely impervious.

However, every capable nation mobilized its military satellites to monitor the situation. By the end of the battle, the other superheroes were all injured, even Thor, the Thunder God, a divine being from another world, had sustained significant injuries and was severely depleted.

Yet Lin Feng seemed utterly unfazed, as if the battle had cost him nothing.

The fact that even a war of this magnitude couldn't force him to unleash his full power only proved one thing: Lin Feng was simply invincible.

At that moment, General Ross wasn't the only one secretly studying Lin Feng. In the United States alone, several organizations had already elevated his threat level to SSS-class, not to mention other countries. Any nation with the means had raised his threat level to the highest possible tier.

This time, even S.H.I.E.L.D.'s efforts to erase Lin Feng's tracks were futile. It was like trying to hide an elephant that had already entered a room—no amount of effort could conceal it.

All they could determine was that he was likely Asian, but what good was that? While Asians were a minority in the United States, their numbers were still substantial.

When Lin Feng returned to Earth, the Avengers finally breathed a sigh of relief. Wonder Woman Diana quickly shut down the Space Rift Generator, ending the alien invasion that had ravaged several blocks of New York City.

...and vanished into the crowd.

Meanwhile, the Endgame Avengers, who had been lurking in the shadows, also relaxed. They had been agonizing over whether to intervene.

Now it was clear: they didn't need to. This timeline seemed to have its own plans.

Compared to their own battle, this fight had been far smoother, especially with Homelander's assistance. Everything had seemed almost too easy.

They even marveled that if their world had a Homelander, they might not have had to fight Thanos so hard—they could have even declared war on him directly.

"Now it's our turn to act!" Captain Rogers said after a moment's thought. "Tony, Scott, you two handle the Cosmic Cube. I'll try to find the Mind Stone Scepter!"

"Understood!"

The Endgame Avengers' Tony Stark nodded, then flew toward Stark Tower. He entered the building effortlessly, after all, he was Tony Stark, with the highest authority. As long as Jarvis still recognized him, he could easily slip in.

As expected, he found the Endgame Avengers wrapping up their work. Compared to their original team, there were several new members: Quicksilver, Wanda, and Wonder Woman Diana.

However, the Homelander who had displayed such astonishing combat power didn't seem to be allied with the Avengers. This was for the best; Tony wasn't confident he could trick that Homelander into handing over the item.

The original Avengers were chatting happily, their hearts lightened by the resolution of a problem that had weighed on their minds for two years. The victory had been decisive and elegant, and everyone felt a deep sense of satisfaction.

No matter what future threats they might face—Thanos, Dormammu, or countless other powerful enemies—they could at least breathe a sigh of relief for now.

"The main battle is over," Captain Rogers said. "Now we need to focus on cleanup. Tony, have your Mechanical Soldier Legion monitor the cleanup operations. Many will try to take advantage of the chaos to loot and pillage. We must stop them!"

With his vast wartime experience, Captain Rogers knew that the end of a war was never the true end. The real work began with addressing the aftermath.

"Understood!" Tony Stark nodded.

He knew all too well how the "simple folk" of America would violently seize the aliens' technology. Who knew how many criminal organizations would grow fat on the spoils?

Of course, this was primarily the US government's problem to solve, not theirs.

"Mmm, everyone, do you remember that Turkish kebab shop? Anyone want some Turkish kebabs?" Tony Stark suddenly asked. "After fighting for so long, I'm really starving. I suddenly have a craving for some grilled meat."

"The one even Lin Feng complained about? You really know how to pick a place!" Black Widow Natasha quipped.

At that moment, everyone remembered the horror of being subjected to Turkish kebabs on the Sacred Timeline.

That was right after the major battle, when they should have been ravenous, yet they ate with such lifeless resignation. It was a testament to just how awful the Turkish kebabs had been.

"Alright, alright, I just want to see how bad it can *really* be!" Tony Stark shrugged. "Seriously, no one's interested?"

"I think that Turkish kebab shop only survives because of people like you—those who refuse to learn—who keep going back to try just how awful it is," Hawkeye Barton said.

"Forget it, forget it!"

Everyone waved their hands in unison, clearly unwilling to try the Turkish kebabs.

Even Tony Stark, the final Iron Man standing beside them, paled at the memory. He recalled the barbecue he'd eaten at that roast meat restaurant—it was probably the most unforgettable meal of his life.

Even now, he considered it a complete culinary disaster, rivaling British cuisine in its awfulness.

In any case, it was... truly memorable.

"How about we grab Chinese food in Chinatown?" Black Widow Natasha suggested.

"Good idea! I want General Tso's chicken," Tony Stark immediately replied.

But then, the final Iron Man Tony Stark noticed Captain Rogers still wearing his old uniform and couldn't resist teasing him. "Mr. Rogers, I must point out that the butt-lifting effect of that suit is truly unbearable to behold!"

Hearing the jab, Captain Rogers flushed with embarrassment. "No one asked you to look, Tony!"

Unquestionably, Captain Rogers was somewhat aware of how ridiculous his old uniform had looked. Now that he thought about it, it was indeed quite embarrassing.

After all, the butt-lifting effect was truly astonishing.
