—------------------—

Queen Maeve bought two cans of soda directly.

Both chilled.

One Pepsi, one Coke.

Then, she watched as two staff members, one on the left and one on the right, took turns feeding him.

"So refreshing! Capitalism is truly harmful; it has corrupted me, once a fine young man, into what I am today!"

Lucas pushed the screenwriter aside and signaled to the director that they could start the screen test.

Schneider hesitated, "B-but, although our film is more of a popcorn flick, the character setting for Wonder Man is very special. He grew up in a laboratory, without the love of parents, and everyone around him was just using him. When he discovers he has been deceived, all the repression of the past few decades turns into madness..."

"It’s just... this character is a bit perverted, you know?"

Annie January tugged on Lucas’s elbow, "The director thinks you’re too upright; you need to get into character."

Get into character?

That’s easy!

Lucas pushed Queen Maeve, grabbing her by the throat and pinning her against the wall.

His expression was twisted and insane.

"I f***ing... do whatever I want?"

"I want to do whoever... I do whoever?"

"Who agrees, who opposes?"

Queen Maeve was stunned by the sudden turn of events.

But she quickly realized what was happening because Lucas wasn’t actually applying any force with his hands.

Lucas kept his hands on Queen Maeve’s throat, simulating Homelander’s demeanor as much as possible—that sense of paranoia, madness, and gloom...

No one understood Homelander better than he did!!

"Hey, hey, hey, that’s enough! Queen Maeve is about to pass out!"

Annie January stepped in to stop him.

"You came just in time!"

Lucas grabbed one with each hand and licked the corner of his mouth.

"Girls, daddy is home!"

Lucas even incorporated the extremity of Butcher.

Two staff members were so scared they turned and ran, thinking Wonder Man had broken the fourth wall and entered reality.

Even the director was terrified.

But Lucas released the two women in an instant.

Queen Maeve and Annie January immediately returned to their normal states.

Annie January looked excited; Guardian’s acting skills were incredible!!

Queen Maeve’s expression was a bit strange.

Others might not be able to tell, but she was very clear about it.

Lucas was imitating Homelander.

"Is it okay, Director? Which aspect of my acting do you think still needs improvement?!"

Lucas turned to look at the director, his mouth curling into a sunny and cheerful smile.

It was as if he had just killed a few people and was in a great mood.

Schneider’s Adam’s apple bobbed a few times, his voice dry, "W-well, just tone it down a bit."

Next, the movie entered the filming phase.

Lucas interpreted the character of "Wonder Man" very well, creating many exclusive actions for the character.

For example, pigeon-toed flying, terrifying micro-expressions, and pressuring teammates.

There were also iconic performances.

Including but not limited to, loving to drink Mother’s milk, heating milk with laser vision, and lacking motherly love, fatherly love, and friendship...

The screenwriter was numb!

The director was numb!

Queen Maeve and Starlight were both numb!!

"Is... is your boyfriend this perverted in daily life?"

Queen Maeve remembered that kiss again.

Compared to Lucas’s acting, his daily behavior was practically that of a living saint!!

"In daily life... he has quite a lot of tricks, but I’ve never seen his understanding of a role reach such a meticulous level!!"

Starlight was also at a loss for words.

She had always thought Lucas was a bit perverted.

For example, a blonde fetish, blaspheming God, and being slightly chivalrous.

But compared to the character he portrayed, Lucas’s little flaws were simply insignificant.

"Director, how was it?"

"Do I look like a tyrant, a dictator from a parallel universe?"

"But I feel his personality isn’t brutal enough; especially during combat, it should reflect the character’s cruelty."

Lucas also explained the settings regarding the Viltrumite to the director.

Hand-blade cutting, black hole punches, interstellar overlord...

Schneider stared at Lucas for a long while.

"If you weren’t Guardian, I would be calling Homelander right now!!" the director said gloomily.

"Huh? So greedy? One pervert isn’t enough??"

Lucas had underestimated the director’s pursuit of art.

What a greedy little guy!!

The final scene.

Starlight, following the script, struck a pose, "Your tyranny ends here!!"

Lucas laughed softly.

"Tyranny?"

He descended slowly, looking down on everything, every step carrying the feeling of crushing everything.

"I gave them order, I let them live stable lives, I even played the role of their God!!"

"And they dare to rebel against me?"

"Kill them all!! I will... mince you all into meat paste!!"

Then Lucas instantly appeared in front of Starlight and struck down with a blade.

Cut!!

The director shouted cut in terror.

Starlight climbed up from the ground.

"Wait, no, no!!"

"In this movie of ours, Starlight and Queen Maeve are supposed to win in the end, right?"

"Why, as we’re filming, are Starlight and Queen Maeve dying?"

The director suddenly realized.

The screenwriter’s eyes were frantic.

"Film it exactly like this!!"

"We can transform it into a dark universe, creating a contrast with the positive universe."

"Wonder Man is an inverted version of Homelander; in his world, he is the final winner!!"

The era of anti-heroes has arrived!!

The screenwriter’s brain suddenly popped with uncontrollable inspiration, and he dove into the RV to type away.

It left the director completely bewildered.

"Well... Director, do I need to perform it again?"

"In that scene just now, I could slice Starlight in half and then kiss her upper body."

"How about it, is it perverted enough?"

Schneider took off his headphones and shakily took out a cigarette.

"Good, very good!!"

Beside them, Queen Maeve stood like a lackey.

She had already finished filming.

In the following days, Lucas had a great time on set.

He felt completely different off-screen compared to on-screen.

The director was scared enough to wet his pants at first, but later he got used to it.

Occasionally, Lucas and Starlight would go wild in the RV, causing all the lights on the set to flicker constantly.

Queen Maeve stood at the door of the RV keeping watch.

Lucas had made her do it, saying he was afraid of being spied on.

Me, Queen Maeve??

Have I become a white sock hanging on the door while others do their business??

What a joke!!

Creak.

The RV door opened.

Lucas walked out looking unsatisfied.

Recently, Starlight’s combat effectiveness had been dropping sharply!!

"Are you done playing, master?"

Queen Maeve looked cold.

"Good enough."

Lucas curled his lips.

One month.

Filming was completed successfully.

Starlight went with the crew to catch up on publicity, leaving only Queen Maeve and Lucas behind.

"Not leaving yet?"

Queen Maeve stared at the screen, "My support rating is still sliding, Ashley is asking about the filming progress, but this show has now been changed into your debut work."

Lucas leaned over to take a look.

As a veteran of The Seven, Queen Maeve’s abilities weren’t too flashy; there was Homelander replacing her from above, and the newly risen Starlight from below.

Her status had been very awkward recently.

Furthermore, the persona of Queen Maeve was too old; the public had aesthetic fatigue and there was nothing new.

"This is a good thing!!"

Lucas said, "It means you discovered the root of the problem in advance; you just need to make changes. Are you interested in coming with me for a trip?"

Queen Maeve finally raised her head and looked at Lucas.

"What do you mean?"

Lucas reached out his hand to her.

Her eyes were hesitant, and more than that, vigilant.

The last time she was taken away, it was a forced kiss.

If she was taken away again this time, wouldn’t it be forced...

"There should at least be a basic level of trust between people, and besides, have I ever urged you to repay the favor you owe me from last time?"

"Didn’t you kiss..." Queen Maeve retorted subconsciously.

"A kiss from you can be worth more than a hundred lives?? That’s very valuable!!"

"Fine."

Queen Maeve leaned against Lucas’s shoulder, letting him carry her away.
