"But there are still civilians over there..."
Pierce feigned concern, frowning as he spoke.
Behind that portal
Chapter 178 The Citizens Who Are Superhuman
It's estimated that the strategic weapon had already exploded in New York the moment he made the call.
"It's all up to you now."
Nick Fury closed his eyes and placed his hopes on Luo Xing.
Of course, the best-case scenario is that Tony Stark discovers the strategic weapon beforehand, and then everyone takes… measures… “It’s finally here.”
Luo Xing watched as a strategic weapon flew towards him, then raised his hand, and the weapon stopped in front of him.
—Skye was awarded…

Luo Xing watched as a strategic weapon flew towards him, then raised his hand, and the weapon stopped in front of him.
—After gaining elemental control in Skye Ascended Mode, Luo Xing was no longer limited to controlling sand.
Luo Xing could have directly used a portal to transfer strategic weapons to the Chitauri army in the sky, but he didn't do it immediately.
Do it this way.
"Citizens of New York, lift your heads and look up at the sky!"
"Today, our city is on the verge of being destroyed by its rulers!"
"Our brave heroes fought with all their might and stopped the Chitauri army's destruction and invasion!"
"And those... hiding thousands of miles away, coldly conclude that you are not worth saving in order to completely destroy the invaders!"
Luo Xing's triumphant voice rang out high in the sky, and for a moment, everyone subconsciously looked up.
Upon seeing the strategic weapon frozen in mid-air by Luo Xing, everyone felt a chill run down their spines.
They were only one step away from death. If Luo Xing hadn't intervened and frozen the strategic weapon, they probably wouldn't even know how they died! Instantly, despair, sorrow, and even more so, anger welled up in everyone's hearts.
I believe that after today, there will be a large number of marches and demonstrations on the streets.
However, after Luo Xing finished speaking, the common people below suddenly lost their focus.
The official deployment of strategic weapons dampened their spirits, and their initial plans for counterattack and evacuation turned into a passive stance.
However, Luo Xing had not finished speaking.
"But we will tell them that we will not accept the blueprint they offer!"
"They ignored the free will!"
"We all have a responsibility to show them through our actions that they are wrong!"
"Our lives are lives worth continuing!"
"The world can be saved without sacrificing anyone!"
As soon as Luo Xing finished speaking, he waved his right hand and threw the strategic weapon into the portal.
At the same time, a ball of light floated out of Luo Xing's hand and rose high like a second sun.
"Apokreik!"
The light of the Apocalypse Star enveloped the entire city.
Bathed in this warm light, everyone felt instantly refreshed, as if they had just had a hundred massages.
A man holding a baseball bat was protecting his wife and daughter when suddenly a Chitauri soldier rode up in a flying machine.
"Damn it!"
The man glanced at his wife, whose face was filled with fear.
He gritted his teeth, raised the baseball bat, and swung it.
Bang!!! The man stared blankly at the broken Chitauri soldier and the one who had been hit with a "home run" in mid-air, momentarily... lost in confusion.
"Dad, this is new."
The man heard his daughter's voice from behind him and instinctively turned around.
The five-year-old daughter then lifted up the… Chitauri soldier's aircraft with one hand.
Soon, countless ordinary people experienced the same thing as the man.
From fear to surprise, and then to delight.
"It was him! He lent us his power!"
"He's more handsome than Superman!!"
"He is a true superhero, a true leader!!"
The common people on the ground felt the extraordinary power and were filled with gratitude and admiration for Luo Xing.
Clearly, Luo Xing's actions and words struck a chord with the Americans.
First they criticized those in power, then they spoke of "freedom."
Now, with the enhancements from Apocalypse Star, even ordinary people have the power to fight.
Just like Bane in Batman, and as Trump said in the future, "Return the power to you, our people."
"Oh, shit."
Tony stumbled and flew to Luo Xing's side, opening his visor: "We were fighting to the death over there, and you're giving a speech here? Are you running for office? I feel you have a good chance. How about I sponsor you?"
"I'm not interested. You can go if you want."
Luo Xing rolled her eyes, then pointed at Tony's tattered suit: "You got wrecked like this even fighting a Chitauri soldier. Looks like I can't call you in for any big battles in the future, otherwise, if you accidentally die, Pepper will be a widow."
"Get lost! This is all your fault!"
"It's my fault, I attacked you."
"look."
To convince Luo Xing that it was all his fault, Tony performed an extended exercise, and then... *ding*, *ding*, *ding*.
Cracks appeared on the armor covering his upper body.
"Well, it seems this thing is a disadvantage for you."
Luo Xing was speechless at the sight and pointed at the Apocalypse Star.
Apocalypse Star can enhance friendly units with life, but it cannot enhance equipment.
So Tony's body was enhanced, but his armor remained the same.
This means everyone else has become stronger, but he's the only one who's stuck in the same place.
What's even more frustrating for Tony is that, due to his enhanced abilities, some careless movements can damage his armor from the inside.
"Forget it, anyway... those civilians don't need our help anymore, I'll go have some fun too."
Tony glanced at the group of ordinary citizens below who were beating up Chitauri soldiers, and felt a little itchy to join in.
"You're going to engage in hand-to-hand combat."
Luo Xing looked at Tony in surprise and asked.
"That's right, I've studied Wing Chun for several years. Wait a minute, I'll show you."
Tony gave Luo Xing a confident smile, didn't even close his visor, and charged straight towards the ground.
Having found a lone Chitauri, Tony forcefully ripped open the armor, causing it to shatter from its vulnerable interior.
"Roar!!"
"Don't come any closer! Don't come any closer!!!" The Chitauri trembled, raising their weapons at Tony.
Their limited intelligence left them completely unaware of what had happened, why those beings who were previously at their mercy had suddenly all become so powerful. "It seems like you need to register before you fight, right?"
Tony recalled the words of his kung fu teacher and struck a pose.
Chapter 179 Vibranium Acquired
Opening a portal can only buy time, while casting Apocalypse Star can immediately trigger a counterattack.
The entire city was in complete chaos, and apart from... Tony Stark, Iron Man, everyone else's strength had been exponentially amplified.
At this moment, Luo Xing can finally activate the auto-play mode.
Aside from... maintaining the massive energy consumption of Apokolips, he didn't need to actively deal with any invading Chitauri armies.
But even if Luo...

However, even if Luo Xing no longer takes action, everyone knows very well that the victory in this war was entirely due to him alone.
The citizens of New York might have been grateful to the entire superhero team, but with Apokolips's appearance, the other superheroes suddenly paled in comparison.
As for why Luo Xing left the main battlefield... "Hey, are you getting used to this feeling?"
Luo Xing stood on the street lamp, looking down at the black panther that had stopped a Chitauri behemoth with a single punch, and asked.
"Not bad! Thanks for the boost! It let me experience what it's like to be the Hulk!"
