Admittedly, even the superficial version of the Insight Project will be subject to scrutiny due to "human rights."
and "freedom"
Not accepted by ordinary people.
But that's far from enough.
We must add more leverage to this base.
At the same time, the enormous portal in the sky twisted and disappeared before everyone's eyes.
The citizens breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time felt inexplicably regretful.
The war resulted in few casualties, but significant damage to buildings and economic losses...

The citizens breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time felt inexplicably regretful.
While the number of casualties in this war was small, the damage to buildings and the economic losses were far from satisfactory.
The only place that remained completely undamaged was a residential area in Queens that was relatively close to the city center.
"Too easy! Is that all...?"
Drax burst forth from the body of a colossus, roaring.
His words resonated with the ordinary people around him.
Indeed, the alien invasion that terrifies everyone, a subject Hollywood has made countless times, actually only reached this level when it happened in real life. But everyone knows that all these victories were due to one person.
Looking at the Apocalypse Star still shining in the sky, some Christians have even shifted their faith.
As the battle ended, pedestrians on the street began to calm down and clean up the mess.
Meanwhile, numerous reporters with cameras, not missing a single detail of the plan, began interviewing passersby.
Today's events will absolutely be the biggest news in history, and everyone knows that.
"Drax, we should go."
A portal suddenly appeared behind the yelling Drax, grabbed his belt, and pulled him inside.
Several reporters who had tried to approach for an interview exchanged glances and then turned away in another direction with a sense of helplessness.
"This is New York National Broadcasting Station! Good afternoon, everyone!"
"A terrible thing happened today: an alien civilization has invaded the space we depend on for survival!"
"But equally, countless heroes emerged during this great battle, fighting valiantly to defend our homeland."
A large media team is conducting a live broadcast in front of a pile of ruins, with a blonde female host talking eloquently in front of the camera.
"Our citizens of New York are just as brave, even I beat up a hideous alien invader."
"But we all know that we have one person to thank for all of this... Oh my God...!"
Halfway through her speech, the female host suddenly noticed a portal appearing in the distance, from which Luo Xing emerged.
She ignored the photography crew and rushed forward.
Because the enhancement of Apocalypse Star was still active, the female host rushed to Luo Xing's side.
"Apokolips, I'm a reporter and host from a TV station. Do you have a moment? May I ask you a few questions?"
The female host cautiously stopped Luo Xing and asked.
What is Apokolips?
Luo Xing raised an eyebrow. What a strange title! "This is a new title everyone came up with for you. The original 'Dimensional Walker' felt a bit vague and not cool enough... What do you think of this new title?"
Seeing that Luo Xing had answered her question, the female host excitedly raised the microphone, held it close to Luo Xing, and asked...
Meanwhile, the camera crew behind the female host, along with surrounding citizens who had noticed Luo Xing's appearance, gathered outside the interview area and identified him as "Apocalypse Star."
Clearly, the name Apocalypse comes from the star Apocalypse in the sky.
"It's actually not bad, much better than before, after all, my name also has the character 'star' in it."
"It seems the title we all came up with together sounds... better than the one I came up with alone."
"If I have children in the future, could I ask all the citizens of New York to help me name them?"
Luo Xing said with a smile, his tone slightly joking.
"Of course! You can listen to the shouts of those people behind us if you don't believe me!"
The female host was surprised; she hadn't expected Luo Xing to be so down-to-earth and humorous.
"Then I'll book it. I hope the price won't be too high."
Luo Xing made another joke casually.
"Don't worry, we won't charge you a single penny."
The female host laughed and made a joke, then looked up and pointed to Apocalypse Star in the sky: "Could you tell us what it is?"
Her problem is also the problem of all television viewers today.
What exactly is it that turned nearly nine million people in the city into superheroes surpassing Captain America?
"This is one of my abilities; it allows me to temporarily transfer my energy to everyone through the act of illuminating light."
"Of course, only those it deems 'friendly forces' will receive the boost."
"If someone had tried to commit a crime during the chaos, they would have found that the power dissipated instantly."
Luo Xing answered the question with a mix of truth and falsehood.
The Star of Revelation provides a fixed boost; it does not distribute the power of the Star of Luo equally.
However, given the energy consumption after activation, if you insist on saying it that way, then there's no problem.
Luo Xing's explanation made everyone realize that it wasn't much different from their original guesses.
"Well, I have one more question."
The female host, microphone in hand, looked at Luo Xing with her azure eyes: "Some say you are a god of the new era, what do you think?"
"God"
Luo Xing glanced strangely at the distance, where, sure enough, there were quite a few people with fanatical expressions shouting.
"I am not a god."
Luo Xing shook his head in denial, saying, "I am just like you, I have humanity, so I will never become a god."
"Human nature...that's so well said!"
The female host seemed somewhat moved: "So, what do you think human nature is?"
"Human nature is very simple; it's just... the commonalities that you and I all share."
Luo Xing took the microphone from the female host, walked to the front of the crowd, and randomly asked someone, "Excuse me, do you like money?"
"Yes, I like it. Nobody dislikes money."
The young man being interviewed paused slightly, then answered hesitantly.
"Yes, me too, that's just human nature."
Luo Xing shrugged at the camera following him.
So, do you like beautiful women?
Luo Xing then pointed the microphone at another short-haired woman with androgynous attire.
"Yes, I like it."
The short-haired woman smiled and nodded.
She was glad Luo Xing chose to ask her, because she was one.
"me too."
Luo Xing smiled and nodded, then turned to look at the camera: "See? We're actually not that different. We get angry, we get happy—that's human nature."
"That's fantastic! I think you should give a speech about it."
The female host took the microphone back from Luo Xing and remarked with emotion.
"So...I actually have another one."
Chapter 184 Captain America with Eight Million
The female host hurriedly brought the microphone close to Luo Xing and asked.
"No, it's even more terrifying than that. Five minutes ago, they executed an operation called Insight."
Luo Xing looked up at the sky. According to the time, the three sky carriers should be in position by now.
"Project Insight, what is that?"
The female host asked curiously.
"Use three never-landing sky carriers to patrol the air, against anything that might..."
The female host hurriedly brought the microphone close to Luo Xing and asked.
