[Biological Force Field: Retains all effects of 'Steel Body +2.' You can now use a biological force field to protect yourself and surrounding objects from harm, isolate environmental effects, and extend the force field to objects you touch, protecting their structure.]
Seeing this line of information, the corner of Alex's mouth kept lifting.
He had finally upgraded to "Biological Force Field."
This was an ability Homelander did not have in The Boys. As for Alex, after obtaining this ability, he no longer needed to use his own body to hard-tank enemy attacks.
All attacks would be intercepted by the "biological force field." Unless an attack could penetrate the force field, no matter how powerful it was, it could not touch Alex's body.
Besides that, Alex could also use this force field to isolate environmental effects.
High altitude would no longer make him feel cold. Even entering magma would not harm him.
Finally, he could extend this force field to people or objects he touched. That way, whether he lifted a person or an object, whatever he touched would not be destroyed by enormous pressure, but would accelerate or stop together with him.
[Biological Force Field] strengthened defense, [Heat Vision] increased offense, [Self-Replication] enriched tactics.
Along with his other talents and items, Alex could clearly feel that he was becoming stronger and stronger.
At this moment, the door to the command hall opened.
Holding a tablet, Ashley walked in quickly.
"We've got trouble, Homelander."
In a good mood, Alex looked over at her.
Ashley turned on the TV. A video was playing on the screen.
In the video, Alex descended from the sky and landed in a military camp. Not long after, he threw an officer up into the air.
The camera cut. A pool of blood appeared on screen, the officer's mangled corpse covered in mosaic.
Then more clips appeared.
There was footage of Alex tearing open the body of an ambulance, and footage of him blowing the Walmart parking lot into the air.
Watching these images, Ashley looked like she had a headache. She kept glancing back at Alex, only to see a smile on his face, as if he did not care at all.
At this moment, a host appeared on screen.
["This is absolutely outrageous."]
["I remember not long ago, Homelander himself said that even superheroes have to obey the law."]
["Is this what he calls 'obeying the law'?"]
["As everyone can see, Homelander has arbitrarily disrupted public order and damaged public facilities. And in a recent incident, he even killed a military officer!"]
["In my opinion, he's a thug. A demon!"]
["Now, let's hear what Colonel Yuri has to say."]
The camera moved, and Colonel Yuri, who had been in charge of the Sylvester Town incident, appeared on screen.
The colonel nodded slightly toward the camera, and the host said,
["Colonel Yuri, a few days ago it was said that a town was placed under temporary military control?"]
Colonel Yuri nodded, ["Yes, host."]
The host continued, ["It looks like the situation was quite serious. You even set up a temporary camp there. That's the one shown at the beginning of the video, right?"]
Colonel Yuri made a sound of agreement, ["Yes, that's the one."]
The host looked at him and said, ["Then could you tell us what happened that day? I'm referring to the part involving Homelander."]
["I've received information that the incident that day did not allow Homelander or the Seven to participate. Is that true?"]
Colonel Yuri nodded for the third time, ["That's true."]
["At the time, we received orders to impose military control on a town. This matter fell under military jurisdiction, and in principle, no one else was allowed to intervene."]
The host pressed, ["But Homelander intervened, didn't he?"]
["Unfortunately, yes."]
Colonel Yuri shook his head, ["I don't know where Homelander got the information. He just went 'whoosh' and appeared in the camp."]
The host squeezed one eye at the camera, ["No doubt, his landing was very cool. I bet he practiced it secretly for a long time."]
["So, could you tell me how that unfortunate officer was thrown out by Homelander?"]
["Does Homelander's action constitute the murder of a military officer?"]
Colonel Yuri clearly hesitated, then said, ["It was an accident."]
["At the time, Sergeant Mike was emotionally agitated. He tried to stop Homelander from intervening. His words were quite intense, even somewhat disrespectful."]
["So I think Homelander didn't do it on purpose. He just failed to control his strength."]
The host sighed, ["Poor Sergeant Mike. Just because his words were intense and slightly inappropriate, he was thrown into the sky by Homelander, became an airborne flyer for once, and without a parachute, at that."]
["No matter what!"]
["Homelander has violated multiple federal laws. The Department of Homeland Security has now filed combined charges with the Federal Supreme Court regarding this incident and other matters."]
The host pointed at the camera.
["Yes, Homelander."]
["Federal law is not a joke. You've crossed the line."]
["Now, it's time for you to pay the price for your reckless behavior!"]
["I've received news that the Federal Supreme Court has issued a subpoena to Vought Corporation, ordering Homelander to attend a hearing in three days."]
["At that time, he can explain and defend his actions."]
["I can hardly wait to listen."]
["Let's see whether Homelander is an angel who protects us and the Federation."]
["Or a demon who is out of control and does whatever he wants!"]
["Up next, a commercial break, and then we'll be back in the studio to discuss more details with Colonel Yuri."]
Ashley picked up the remote, turned off the TV, and looked at Alex.
"Homelander, the numerous charges brought by Homeland Security are all unfavorable to you. I've scheduled the legal team. This afternoon, you need to meet with them."
Alex laughed loudly, spreading his hands, "Look at the politicians in our country. They don't even mention what I did, or what I stopped."
"Those guys with bellies stuffed full of grease get to sit in their offices drinking coffee, get to do primitive exercises with their mistresses at night, get to enjoy a good life."
"That's because someone drives away the darkness for them. Someone like me."
"And now, all they care about is that I damaged public facilities, that I let some guy who didn't even understand basic respect experience being an airborne flyer."
"Looks like these big shots have been living too comfortably."
Alex narrowed his eyes, the corner of his mouth lifting.
'Maybe it's time to let them re-learn just how much of a mongrel they are.'
