Earthquake?

Before the reporters could express their doubts, Heros's right hand moved slightly, swinging the trident in his hand.

Buzz...

Boom--~!!

With the swing of the trident, the district bureau where White House is located actually started to experience an earthquake. The live broadcast screen also became trembling and the lights flickered due to the earthquake.

Fortunately, before the female reporters couldn't help but scream, Heros used the illusion to retract the trident in his right hand and stopped the small earthquake in time.

A magnitude 4 earthquake was not enough to cause White House to collapse, so when Heros 'manually' stopped the earthquake, everything returned to normal.

At this time.

The press conference became eerily silent, and even the most talkative reporters looked at each other and didn't know how to continue asking questions.

Because Washington is not in an earthquake-prone area.

Currently, the earthquake record related to Washington is a 5.8-magnitude earthquake that occurred in Virginia, south of Washington, on the afternoon of August 23, 2011.

Personal injuries caused?

None.

This is the closest and largest earthquake to the capital since the founding of the United States, and it is also the only earthquake record that Washington citizens have felt.

It can be seen from this that unless Heros has some ability to predict the future, he can time it in advance and an earthquake will happen at the moment when he waves the trident.

Otherwise it's...

Heros can really use the trident to control geological activities at will.

Moreover, no matter which of the above-mentioned abilities it is, it is not comparable to the 'Super Hero' under Walter's command.

Predicting the future is much more difficult than controlling geological activities.

Heros took back the trident, ignored the reporters who were in a dazed state, and transformed into Golden War Spear in his right hand, holding it tightly.

He said quietly, "Of course, the reason why I can control earthquakes and tsunamis is because of the trident of Sea King Poseidon.

If this doesn't prove that I am a god, then..."

Heros said that at the same time, a circle of golden light emitted from his body.

Following this, his body, armor, shield and spear began to gradually enlarge, and the enlargement process stopped abruptly when the top of his head was about to touch the ceiling.

"Oh!"

"This?"

Seeing Heros show Divine Power again made reporters sigh.

In fact, the fact that Heros has grown from 1.9 meters to 3.8 meters is not enough to make reporters feel novel.

Because among the Super Hero under Walter, at least a few are able to enlarge their bodies due to anger, or 'blow up' their bodies like rubber.

What really surprised the reporters was that Heros's armor, battle shield and battle spear were also enlarged in the same proportion, which... was different.

"Everyone." Heros said with the same expressionless face, "The gods in Greek mythology all have the ability to Colossal Transformation themselves.

There are very few demigods who can do it, Heracles is the one who has logged into the Olympian Gods palace, and there is another one, Heros, son of me, Athena."

"Colossus...?" The female reporter who asked the question before was stunned, and then continued to ask, "Then please tell me, how high can you zoom in?"

Heros replied without thinking, "Converted to this modern unit, it should be more than 170 meters. As for the specific height... I'm sorry, I have never measured it."

One hundred and seventy meters!!!

At this time, all the reporters were shocked. Even the Minister of Defense, who was standing next to Heros, looked shocked, with a trace of doubt in his eyes.

See this.

Heros returned his body shape to normal human size, whispered to everyone, "If you don't believe me, follow me," and walked out of the press conference, leaving the Minister of Defense aside.

It seems that this demigod has no regard for US Government and the military.

At this time, the reporters, not paying attention to the embarrassed Minister of Defense, stood up one after another and followed Heros out of the venue.

Not to be outdone, the photographers removed the cameras from their stands and followed the reporters out of the venue, carrying them on their shoulders.

Eventually.

Everyone who was originally indoors followed Heros to the lawn square behind White House.

Heros, on the other hand, 'flashed' in the center of the lawn square in the blink of an eye, and started Colossal Transformation after being far away from the crowd.

In the end, he succeeded in transforming into a 170-meter-tall giant, which made the reporters present couldn't help but take out their mobile phones to take pictures.

Similarly, this scene also shocked netizens watching the press conference, as well as the Seven, who was sitting on the 99th floor of Vought Tower.

"This! How is this possible!?" Homelander roared and stood up, not believing the live content on the screen at all.

He is God!

The only God!

It was that guy, that guy named Heros, who took away the halo that originally belonged to him!

Thinking of this, Homelander's face became more gloomy, staring at the screen that had returned from Colossal Transformation to normal human size Heros.

Seeing Homelander's sudden mood rise, everyone became nervous again, and even Madelyn involuntarily took two steps back.

Biu~.

Immediately, Madelyn turned off all the screens without saying a word, making Homelander temporarily unable to continue watching the press conference.

She also pretended to be calm and explained to everyone, "Okay, the current situation is extremely serious for us, Walter."

After finishing his words, Madelyn still put his eyes on Homelander, and used his eyes to signal Homelander to sit back down.

But Homelander was quite obedient. Even though Heros was unhappy, he had no choice but to stop complaining and sit back down.

Seeing this, Madelyn could finally breathe a sigh of relief and resume her former strong woman demeanor. She walked to the side of table V and continued to explain:

"According to the intelligence we have and the ongoing press conference, we can learn that an arms company named Umbrella is rising rapidly.

It took Umbrella a month to successfully send their products to the U. S. military using means unknown to us, and the military seems to want to use their products to completely eliminate the possibility of us entering the national defense system."

"So..." Starlight, who is still relatively simple in thinking, asked, "What does this have to do with us?"

"Money." Before Madelyn could respond, A-Train, who was sitting on the right side of Starlight, leaned on the back of the chair and said lazily:

"If we can enter the national defense system, then at least we will have a share of the country's annual military expenditure of 600 billion.

Even if it's one percent, that's six billion."

"That's right." Madelyn nodded lightly without denying it, and continued to explain:

"In just one month, we lost four first-class heroes, including Black Noir, which made US Government, the military and the public begin to question Super Hero's ability.

However, this little-known company actually took advantage of this moment to grab an order from the US military. I, as well as the company's senior management, believe that the two attacks are inseparable from Umbrella."
