Homelander opened his eyes, a flash of ecstasy passing through them.
He raised his hand and spread his fingers, aiming from a distance at the wine cabinet standing against the wall.
Using The Force he had just captured, he gave it a gentle pull.
The solid wood wine cabinet, weighing hundreds of pounds, smoothly left the ground and floated in mid-air without any physical contact whatsoever!
Homelander's palm waved gently.
The wine cabinet moved back and forth following his will, as naturally as if it were his own limb.
"How interesting!" Homelander was as excited as a child who had just gotten a new toy.
After playing for a while, he suddenly clenched his right hand into a fist.
"Crack!! Boom!!"
The wine cabinet was instantly crushed by an invisible force in mid-air, exploding directly into a shower of wood chips and glass shards!
All sorts of expensive famous wines spilled all over the floor.
Homelander licked his lips excitedly, but then he looked at the mess in the Presidential Suite and realized he couldn't fully unleash his power here.
"Let's go, we're changing to a more spacious place."
Homelander flashed directly to Luke's side and grabbed the back collar of his black robe.
Luke had expected it and did not resist.
He allowed Homelander to carry him out of the balcony and soar into the sky.
A few minutes later, in a deserted stone forest canyon deep in the Sierra Nevada Mountains.
Thud!
Homelander landed heavily with Luke on the hard, gravel-strewn ground.
"Alright, Luke. There are no restrictions now."
Homelander let go of Luke's collar and pointed to the vast canyon.
"Seize the remaining time! Show me everything you know, don't hold anything back..."
...
Meanwhile.
New York, the General Assembly Hall of the United Nations Headquarters.
On the large screen, the final voting results regarding the proposal to "Establish the Human Federation Government" were clearly listed.
Ten Non-permanent members voted unanimously in favor.
Among the five permanent seats, Britain, France, and Russia voted in favor.
The representative of the XYZ Country sat in his seat with a face as grim as water, pressing the abstention button.
While at the seat of the United States representative, the indicator light flashed a piercing red.
"The United States of America exercises its veto power." The United States representative's voice echoed through the hall via the microphone, carrying an unquestionable toughness.
"We will never entrust national sovereignty to an absurd utopian dream."
A veto.
According to United Nations rules, this proposal was declared dead at this moment.
The United States representative stood up, adjusted the hem of his suit, and prepared to leave.
Just then, the French representative calmly reached out and pressed the microphone button in front of him.
"America's short-sightedness and arrogance have become the greatest obstacle to human evolution."
"Since the United Nations can no longer fulfill its duty to unite humanity and respond to interstellar crises, its existence has lost its meaning."
He stood up, hands braced on the table, and looked around the room.
"The French Republic formally announces its indefinite withdrawal from the United Nations framework. We will immediately begin working with all nations willing to set aside prejudice to form the Human Federation ourselves."
Following his declaration, thunderous applause erupted in the General Assembly Hall.
The British representative also stood up immediately: "The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland announces its withdrawal from the United Nations to join the Human Federation."
The Russian representative stood up: "The Russian Federation announces its withdrawal."
Germany, Italy, Spain, Canada, Brazil, Japan...
One after another, the national representatives stood up and announced their withdrawal without hesitation.
They didn't even spare a glance for the United States representative as they packed their documents and strode out of the General Assembly Hall.
In just over ten minutes, the once-packed UN General Assembly Hall became empty.
The United States representative looked at the empty seats and listened to the receding footsteps outside the door, an uncontrollable rage and sense of humiliation rushing to his head.
He couldn't help but roar at the door: "You're all fucking crazy! A bunch of damned green... mgh!"
The sound of something whistling through the air arrived.
A polished black leather shoe slammed solidly into the America representative's mouth.
The hard leather sole struck his lips, and a trace of blood flowed down the corner of his mouth.
He clutched his mouth and turned his head in anger, wanting to see who dared to attack him in this setting.
His gaze quickly locked onto the XYZ Country's seats nearby.
The XYZ Country representative was standing on one leg, still maintaining the throwing posture, staring coldly at the America representative.
His eyes were full of a stern warning.
The America representative clutched his mouth, and the rage that was about to explode suddenly shivered the moment it met that cold gaze.
His brain cleared instantly.
Damn it, he almost let it slip just now!
Once those words "Green-skinned monsters" were shouted in this assembly hall, the consequences would be unthinkable.
Cold sweat broke out, and a wave of lingering fear filled his heart.
He nodded silently to the XYZ Country representative, muttered a few curses to play along, and then led his people out of the now-meaningless assembly hall in disgrace.
...
A few hours later, the aftershocks of this political earthquake swept through every corner of the globe via the internet and news media.
The World was in an uproar.
This surge known as the "Human Federation" caused a huge stir among the people; some were ecstatic, while others were deeply worried.
"This is simply a disaster! Why should we share resources with those third-World countries that can't even feed themselves?!" A white-collar worker in a custom suit angrily tore off his tie.
"Our taxes will go to fill the slums! Our social welfare will be completely dragged down by those incoming refugees! They are selling out our future!"
Meanwhile, on the streets of some third-World countries.
Reveling crowds blocked traffic, waving homemade flags and singing and dancing in the streets.
"Equality! We have finally ushered in true equality!" A young man shouted excitedly into the reporter's camera.
"No borders, no exploitation! The technology and medical care of developed countries will be open to us! This is a new era for humanity!"
On the internet, citizens for and against the move engaged in fierce clashes on major social platforms.
The top ten trending topics on Twitter were all occupied by #Human Federation.
User @FreeMarket_King posted: "Abolish nations? Abolish borders? This is the globalists' biggest conspiracy! They want to use a super-centralized government to enslave us all! Wake up, everyone!"
Immediately below, user @One Planet_One Future countered: "Still clinging to your pathetic nationalism? Look outside, aliens could attack at any time! Only by uniting as one and concentrating all our strength can we survive in the Universe! Stop guarding your tiny bit of territory like a primitive man!"
User @Parisian_Life complained: "I've had enough. I heard our medical budget is being redistributed. I don't want to lower my quality of life for someone on the other side of the planet."
User @Yours_Mine mocked: "The arrogant developed countries are finally going to lower their noble heads. The Earth belongs to everyone; why should resources be monopolized by you?"
