[Ultimate Mission]
[Mission Duration: Unlimited]
[Mission Requirements]
[1. Raise your life level to at least Level 7. (The higher your life level, the higher the mission evaluation and the chance of passing.)]
[2. Invade other universes where Homelander exists and achieve victory. You must achieve at least three victories. (The more victories you achieve, the higher the mission evaluation and the chance of passing.)]
[3. Conquer the multiverse, making your name (title) widely known and a matter of common knowledge. Establish rules belonging exclusively to you and have the majority of people obey them (more than 50%), and have your name (title) imprinted throughout civilization in the form of a symbol. At least one universe must be conquered. (The more universes you conquer, the higher the mission evaluation and the chance of passing.)]

[Once you have met the minimum standards for all the above requirements, you may submit the mission, or you may keep it. You can decide when to submit based on your progress.]
[Mission Start!]
Looking at the information before him, Alex couldn't calm down for a long time.
He was happy that the "Ultimate Mission" had finally been issued, but he also had doubts about whether he could complete these missions.
In short, Alex's feelings were complicated.
"What's wrong, Mr. John?"
Sensing the change in the atmosphere, Caitlin asked.
She put down her cup, "Would you like some more coffee?"
"Thanks, but no need."
Alex stood up, "Sorry, I suddenly remembered that I have some work to do. I have to go."
He needed to analyze the mission and sort out his thoughts. Obviously, he couldn't do that in Caitlin's home.
"Oh, then I'll see you out," Caitlin stood up.
———
After saying goodbye to Caitlin, Alex returned to his room in the Seven's Tower.
Then he carefully analyzed the requirements of the [Ultimate Mission].
There weren't many requirements.
Only three.
However, apart from the second one, invading other universes where Homelander existed and achieving victory, the first and third requirements were not easy.
First was the first mission. It required him to raise his life level.
Alex remembered that when he had first crossed into this universe and become Homelander, he had only been a Level 5 life form, classified as being in the "Superhuman" stage.
Later, by improving his talents, he had become a Level 6 life form, becoming a "Legendary."
Next, as far as he knew, Level 7 life forms were "Celestials."
Wonder Woman Diana and Thor were examples of this life level.
Above that were "Skyfathers" like Odin, which were Level 8 life forms.
But let alone becoming a "Skyfather," Alex didn't even know how to become a "Celestial."
He had only confirmed one thing: after reaching Level 6, increasing his talent level could no longer raise his life level.
Otherwise, with the level of his two awakened talents now, he should have been able to raise his life level by at least one level.
Yet he hadn't. He was still a Level 6 "Legendary" life form.
Based on what he knew, as well as his experiences in various multiverses over the past year, if he wanted to raise his life level and become a "Celestial," he probably had to go to the "DC Universe" or the "Marvel Universe" to find an opportunity.
After all, both of these universes had gods.
There were just some differences between the two universes.
In the "DC Universe," the old gods on Earth were almost extinct. In the movies, the only old god to appear was "Ares, the God of War," but Diana had already killed him.
The New Gods, meanwhile, included villains like Darkseid from Apokolips, and Steppenwolf could also be considered to be at the "Celestial" level.
However, Alex wasn't very optimistic about finding a way to become a "Celestial" among the people of Apokolips.
Looking at the "Marvel Universe," on the other hand, there were many gods in that universe according to the movies.
Besides the Asgardians represented by Thor, there was also Omnipotence City in Thor: Love and Thunder, where a large number of gods had gathered.
And that movie revealed a very important piece of information.
Gorr the God Butcher became disappointed in gods and, tempted by the "Necrosword," embarked on a path of killing gods.
In order to slaughter the gods, he took Stormbreaker from Thor and used the "Bifrost" to open the door to "Eternity."
There, he wanted to make a wish to "Eternity," one of the five cosmic entities of the Marvel Universe, using that wish to kill all the gods.
But in the end, Thor moved him, and he changed his wish to bringing his dead daughter back.
That was also the ending of Love and Thunder.
But from the information revealed in that movie, it wasn't difficult to see that "Eternity" could even fulfill a wish to slaughter all the gods.
In other words, if Alex made a wish to "Eternity" to raise his life level, it shouldn't be difficult. It was entirely possible.
Therefore, compared to the "DC Universe," the "Marvel Universe" offered a better chance of completing the first requirement of the [Ultimate Mission].
Raise his life level.
What's more, in the "Marvel Universe," Alex had now taken control of Thanos's army, possessed the Dark Elves, and had Wakanda, a technologically advanced nation, supporting him on Earth.
Once he became a "Celestial," he could use these forces to conquer the Marvel Universe and complete the third mission requirement at the same time.
Besides that, Alex had another huge advantage in the "Marvel Universe."
The Infinity Gauntlet!
This artifact, which could only display its full power in the "Marvel Universe," was now in Alex's hands.
After returning to the "Marvel Universe," Alex could even use the "Space Stone" to find Gorr the God Butcher and thereby find "Eternity".
Thinking of this, Alex gradually formed a clear plan.
"The Marvel Universe..."
"There, I can complete two mission requirements."
"However, whether it's becoming a 'Celestial' or conquering the Marvel Universe, those are only the minimum requirements for completing the mission."
Alex rubbed his face, "There are only three requirements for the mission, but each of them is only a minimum standard."
"In other words, even if I submit the mission after barely reaching the passing line, I may not necessarily become an 'Administrator.'"
"If I want to increase my chances of passing, I have to invade as many other universes where Homelander exists as possible and achieve victories, conquer more universes, and raise my life level as much as possible."
"Looking at it this way, there is hope of completing the 'Ultimate Mission,' but whether I can become an 'Administrator' is hard to say."
"Forget it. I'll meet the passing line and complete all the missions first."
"Then I'll see if I can raise the standard."
Alex thought for a moment, "I haven't actively invaded another universe with a 'Homelander' before, so let's start with the second mission."
After making his decision, Alex opened the shop and prepared for the upcoming invasion.
Since the end of the Infinity War event, quite a few items had been added to the shop.
Among them, the number of artifacts had increased considerably.
Besides Thor's "Stormbreaker," there was even Thanos's "Infinity Gauntlet."
However, this gauntlet didn't have the Infinity Stones. It was basically just a blank vessel, so it was only worth 15 Multiversal Crystals.
There was also a "Captain Marvel Gene Capsule" for sale in the shop. If this had been when Alex had first crossed over, he might have been interested in buying it.
But now, it offered Alex no improvement at all.
Alex suddenly realized a problem.
As he became stronger and stronger, the gene capsules and even the artifacts in the shop were becoming useless.
Now, apart from artifacts like the "Infinity Gauntlet" with all five Stones, which could directly give Alex a qualitative increase in power, the improvements offered by everything else were already quite limited.
As he continued browsing, Alex discovered that a page of [Darkhold Fragment] had been added to the shop.
[Darkhold Fragment "Seed of Desire": A corruption-type magic spell. This spell can be implanted into the body of an intelligent life form and parasitize their soul. The "Seed of Desire" can produce and catalyze various desires while magnifying the host's most obvious and strongest desire.]
[When the host becomes controlled by desire, they will rapidly fall into corruption and become a slave to desire, while also coming under the control of the spellcaster. The spellcaster can trigger the host's strongest current desire, causing them to perform the corresponding action. This is a magic that toys with the human mind.]
[Note: The Darkhold is an object widely despised and cursed throughout the multiverse. The more Darkhold fragments you collect, the more expensive they will become. Please purchase with caution.]
Alex remembered that he had previously purchased a magic spell called "Fallen Black Mist."
Besides causing intelligent life within an area to gradually fall into corruption, become slaves to desire, and become easier to manipulate, it could also serve the "Seed of Desire," making it easier for the "seed" to bloom and bear fruit.
Now, the "Seed of Desire" spell had also appeared in the shop.
Alex looked at its price. It required 130 Proficiency Essence.
Ever since he had last upgraded "Absolute Domain," Alex only had 230 Proficiency Essence left.
He thought about it. Two hundred and thirty Proficiency Essence could only provide 4,600 proficiency. "Absolute Domain" now required 8,000 to increase by one level, so that was definitely not enough.
He just didn't know whether "Thermonuclear Ray" had enough.
So he opened the status panel.
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
[Name: John (Homelander)]
[Life Level: Level 6 (Legendary)]
[Status: Normal]
[Talents: Thermonuclear Ray (223/5000), Deep-Space Flight +1 (78/300), First Cosmic Velocity +2 (26/500), Absolute Domain +1 (241/8000), Divine Power +4 (396/1000), Super Regeneration +1 (292/300), Eye of the Truth (153/200)]
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
"The remaining amount isn't enough to raise 'Thermonuclear Ray' by one level."
Alex closed the status panel. Since he didn't have enough to raise "Thermonuclear Ray" by one level, he might as well directly purchase the Darkhold fragment.
After all, "Seed of Desire" could toy with people's minds and turn those it was implanted in into puppets of the spellcaster.
Considering that he was going to conquer the multiverse, this magic was quite useful.
Besides, he already had "Fallen Black Mist," so it was just right to pair it with "Seed of Desire."
Thus, Alex spent 130 Proficiency Essence and bought the Darkhold fragment.
After purchasing the Darkhold fragment, Alex glanced at "Destroyer" among the many artifacts.
This artifact was the guardian of Asgard's treasury in the Marvel Universe. It had formidable combat power. If he bought it and added his own "clone," Alex would have two additional combat forces.
And the "Destroyer" cost 35 Multiversal Crystals, which happened to be exactly the 35 crystals Alex had on hand.
However, Alex wanted the "Gungnir" more.
Besides firing powerful energy blasts and being capable of destroying and piercing through everything when thrown, the spear could also block all teleportation-type abilities and items.
When Odin had locked onto him back then, Alex had been unable to leave the Marvel Universe.
In other words, it was very useful when hunting down an important target.
After weighing his options again and again, Alex still decided not to buy the "Destroyer" for now. He would keep his dimensional crystals to purchase "Gungnir." With it, he wouldn't have to worry about an important target escaping.
Finally, Alex spent 40 Glory Tokens to purchase a Rune Stone and a "Crimson Eye" from the Glory Shop.
[Rune Stone: Hoggoth's Ancient Body: One of the Vishanti's white magics. It can be used to neutralize most attacks.]
This was a defensive magic spell. Doctor Strange had used it to neutralize Thanos's black hole attack.
Alex purchased it as a supplementary method for "Absolute Domain."
However, after equipping this Rune Stone, Alex could no longer equip any more Rune Stones.
After all, he had already equipped "Crimson Bands of Cyttorak" and "Heart of Winter."
He was now fully equipped.
As for the "Crimson Eye," it was used to search for other "Homelanders" and was a one-time random invasion item.
After closing the Glory Shop, Alex opened his inventory and made a final inspection.
Hercules' Bracers, Fang of Destruction, Darkhold, Odin's Eye Patch, Stone of Curses...
'Everything is ready.'
Immediately, Alex took out the "Crimson Eye" and activated it.
[You have activated the "Crimson Eye."]
[Randomly searching for Homelander in another universe for you.]
[Search complete. Invasion target locked.]
[Beginning teleportation!]
Alex's vision suddenly filled with multicolored light. A moment later, his vision cleared.
He had gone from the scene in the Seven's Tower to a street.
And it had changed from night to daytime.
Alex quickly adapted, then heard people shouting in surprise.
"Look over there! What's that on the bridge, an octopus?"
"No, that's a person. A person with octopus tentacles growing out of his back."
Following the direction people were pointing, Alex saw a figure moving on the distant bridge, at one end of the bridge.
It was a man wearing a long coat and glasses. Mechanical tentacles resembling octopus arms extended from his back, supporting him as he moved forward while throwing away the cars blocking his path.
The man seemed extremely irritated. Some passengers hadn't even had time to get out of the cars before they were thrown onto the bridge along with the vehicles.
The bridge was in complete chaos. People screamed and ran backward. Soon, cars exploded on the bridge, sending black smoke into the air.
Alex was somewhat surprised. That octopus man could be considered a classic Marvel villain.
That was "Doctor Octopus," Otto Gunther Octavius!
"So, which one of my brothers or sisters is currently in the [Spider-Man Universe]?", Alex rubbed his cheek.
At this moment, lines of information appeared before his retina.
