The day after the Battle of New York, the world did not return to the peace everyone had hoped for.
Restoring calm was proving difficult. After all, the whole world now knew about the existence of aliens—and that Earth could face crises at any time.
Before, superheroes were famous only in their local areas, but after this battle, people worldwide recognized various superheroes and organizations.
Of course, the biggest beneficiary was definitely Hell's Kitchen. People everywhere now knew that in Hell's Kitchen, a "Lord of Hell" existed—someone who personally defeated the alien army. They also knew that Hell's Kitchen was a breeding ground for many superheroes.
Mutants, too, received a surge of positive attention for saving the Earth this time. Online forums flooded with supportive comments defending mutants. Many ordinary people even expressed the wish to become mutants themselves, hoping to gain powers after witnessing the alien invasion crisis.
The internet was filled with praise for Alex Ray and others.
One particularly popular website had created a ranking and rating list of these superheroes.
Without a doubt, Alex Ray ranked first.
NO.1 [Lord of Hell] (9.9 rating)
"Eternal God!"
"Alex Ray should be the mayor of New York City! The federal government is garbage!"
"I don't know how to move to Hell's Kitchen!"
"Earth's strongest warrior!"
"Alex Ray carries the blood of our people! He's one of us!"
"I really want to have a child for Master Alex Ray!"
Surprisingly, second place was not Captain America—but Wanda.
NO.2 [Scarlet Witch] (9.8 points)
"Why not a perfect score? Such beauty! Such power!"
"The moment she appeared, my eyes couldn't look away. I really want to hear what's in her heart."
"Hey upstairs guy, stop staring at my chest! And you want to listen to my soul? Ugh!"
"One point off because she's not my girlfriend!"
"Debut directly!"
"Here are some photos of Scarlet Witch. No payment needed. Just follow me and call me godfather. I'll send you private messages!"
Third place went to Iron Man, but the reason he made the list was somewhat special...
NO.3 [Iron Man] (9.7 rating)
"Anyone who gives Iron Man a perfect score, bring your screenshots to Stark Industries' official website to claim your bonus—$100 for each positive review."
"Nothing more to say. This is the money power of our Iron Man godfather!"
"Only he, our Iron Man, truly understands ordinary people like us!"
"Damn this crappy website. How can it have a perfect score of 10? Our godfather can only be confused!"
"I've wandered half my life, regretting never having met a wise master. If you don't abandon me, I'm willing to be your adoptive father!"
Fourth place finally went to Captain America.
NO.4 Captain America (8.3 points)
"Legends need no explanation!"
"I grew up listening to your stories. I never thought I'd meet you again!"
"I tried my best, but the enemy cheated. I really don't blame you."
"You're an amateur in foreign wars, but an expert in civil wars. You're worthy of me!"
"American butts are the result of muscle building."
"Ashi, you should call him Captain America!"
"You are the captain of the world!"
...
"Why! Why am I ranked outside the top 20?" Reed Richards said angrily as he stared at the scores.
It was hard to understand why he ranked so far down, especially since he founded the Illuminati.
Why was Alex Ray ranked first? Reed just accepted it.
Why wasn't he second? If he was second, he could barely take the lead!
And what the hell were these comments?
Reed scowled at the remarks.
NO.25 [Mr. Fantastic] (7.7 rating)
"Just practice more cooking!"
"How did you become president of the Illuminati? By your ass?"
"A man who looks so soft and limp can't get hard at all!"
"His only role is to start a team fight, then lie there dead!"
"You can't say that saving Mr. Fantastic saved a lot of people."
"I just like men this soft!"
"Move aside, both Black Panther and King of Atreides are stronger than you!"
Invisible Woman Susan and his brother Johnny Storm, standing nearby, didn't dare to say a word because their rankings were higher.
"Someone's praising you too. Reed, it's okay. At least you're better than most! You're ranked 25th," Susan comforted him.
Hearing Susan's words, Reed was still upset but forced a calm smile: "It's okay, I don't care, really!"
But the next second, Johnny Torch ruined it.
"But right now, the entire ranking only has 26 names. Other superheroes aren't on the list yet," Johnny said bluntly.
If looks could kill, Susan's glare could have incinerated Johnny ten thousand times.
"It's okay, I'm really fine. I just suddenly remembered I have something to do, so I'll go out first." Reed suppressed his anger and rushed out.
Originally, ranking 25th would have been fine, but when Johnny saw who was ranked 26th, he couldn't help but be angry. How could he only be better than this person? Even if he was better than others!
Only Johnny, with an innocent face, remained looking at the superhero at No. 26.
NO.26 [Deadpool] (2 points!)
"Even though he didn't fight, I still can't help but vote for him! That damn guy seduced my girlfriend!"
"That's right, he didn't pay after eating!"
"The lowest score is 2 because the software's lowest allowed score is 2, not zero!"
"He's such a jerk!"
"If you see this man, run as far away as possible!"
"I'm deaf and mute, but I was still annoyed by him when I met him."
"I think he's cute, but only if he doesn't show up in front of me. Otherwise, I might kill myself!"
"If there weren't any supervillains, this guy would never be here!"
"The only person who didn't show up in this war but still left his name!"
Besides this list, Hell's Kitchen Co., Ltd. registered all trademarks related to Hell's Kitchen superheroes.
They were preparing to collaborate with Stark Industries on the first Iron Man movie. The starring role would, of course, be Tony Stark, and the screenwriter would naturally be Alex Ray.
At the same time, Hell's Kitchen Co., Ltd. was preparing to start selling superhero merchandise and blind boxes, which were expected to be extremely popular.
