Chapter 137. Steve: My eyes are only on the people.
Ultraman's display of miracles around the world undoubtedly caused a huge sensation.
Although Ultraman had appeared several times before, with eyewitness accounts, photos, and videos, some people still refused to believe that such a supernatural being existed in the world.
Just like how some people claim a picture is fake when it's blurry, and others claim it's photoshopped when it's clear, people are always unwilling to believe in things that are beyond their comprehension.
On the day the mighty Ultraman made his debut on the world stage and unleashed a power that existed only in imagination, governments around the world were left in a state of confusion, unsure of what to do.
Resistance? Forget about it. Under that immense power that can create stars with a wave of its hand, humanity currently has no ability to resist.
Surrender? That might be the best option.
The government's dilemma did not have much impact on ordinary people, who continued to eat and drink as usual, since most people believed that Ultraman would not do anything to ordinary people.
That kind of glorious and righteous power, if you say it's God coming, they'll believe it; if you say it's an evil god, who would believe it?
However, within this vast population, there is always a small group of mavericks who claim that Ultraman is an evil god and that this is the coming of the apocalypse, in which everyone will die.
Then, this small group of people began their revelry in the so-called apocalypse.
Robbery, fighting, various zero-dollar purchases, and even the planning of large-scale murder games.
However, their operation came to an abrupt end before it could be fully implemented, for no other reason than that they were all arrested.
They were all arrested before they even began their so-called plan.
They were captured by a group of pure silver robots, whose bodies were engraved with the words "Star of Light." At that moment, the world's格局 (geju, a concept encompassing both the overall structure and the overall situation) underwent a dramatic change.
Three days after Ultraman appeared and the Star of Light hung high in the sky.
A giant screen suddenly appeared in the sky above the earth. No matter where you are, you can see the screen as if it were engraved in space just by looking up.
Just as people were shocked and puzzled, a huge head appeared in the center of the screen.
"Ahem." Stark cleared his throat, and his loud but not grating voice immediately reached everyone's ears.
He spent a day exploring the use of "words of power" and created this global live-streaming device using them.
It focuses on having a wide coverage.
He straightened his expression and slowly began to speak: "I am Tony Stark, currently serving as the Chief Scientist of the Star of Light."
"The guy next to me," Stark shrugged, and Steve's big head, looking reluctant, suddenly appeared on the screen.
"This is Steve Rogers, now serving as the Commander-in-Chief of the Defense Forces of the Star of Light."
"The main purpose of my live stream this time is to explain how to join Star of Light."
As soon as he finished speaking, the earth seemed to tremble, and billions of people were shocked.
In the three days since Ultraman appeared, the most discussed topic in the world has naturally been Ultraman and the Star of Light he created.
The most discussed topic was naturally how to join the Star of Light.
Because the benefits of Star of Light are simply too good, not only material benefits, but also physical and mental benefits.
Firstly, one of the basic benefits of joining Star of Light is that it can extend one's lifespan.
Immortality—an eternally popular topic, and no one can resist its allure.
Secondly, joining the Star of Light will awaken superpowers that are tailored to one's own strengths.
Transcendence is also a tempting option, almost on par with immortality.
Both of these are basic benefits that can be obtained simply by joining Star of Light.
Who would stay on Earth if they could enter the Star of Light? It goes without saying who is better.
As for the authenticity of the news, there is no need to question it at all. If you can create planets with your bare hands, what is immortality?
Of course, these are all messages released by Stark. In reality, he cannot decide who to recruit. Who can join the Star of Light is all due to the approval of the light in the dark. Those who are approved can naturally join.
As for why Stark did this, it was naturally to give Earthlings some common motivation, so that they wouldn't focus too much on internal strife, but rather on improving themselves.
Stark continued, "The conditions for joining the Star of Light are simple: those who possess qualities such as peace, protection, and justice can see the God of Light in their dreams. Those who see the god and call upon his name can enter the Star of Light and become a part of it."
"The name of the god of light is Noah."
After a brief introduction, Stark ended the live stream.
Those watching the live stream seemed to understand something. Simply put, only good people can join Star of Light. There's no doubt about it; that kind of noble and righteous feeling is something that bad people can't possibly join.
When this request was made, some people were happy while others were sad.
Ordinary people have hope, their efforts have direction, and good people are recognized, which also gives them stronger motivation.
Those who knew their own limitations went into a frenzy. They knew they probably had no chance, so they came up with some crazy ideas.
These are just crazy ideas from ordinary people.
Those who possess armed forces and wield power have become even more mentally twisted.
Their power and authority made it impossible for them to accept that such a thing could happen.
Can someone become superior simply by possessing a few so-called good qualities? Why? This is utterly unfair!
Faced with this absolute sense of powerlessness, twisted desires and jealousy overwhelmed reason, and some in power chose a desperate and despicable form of resistance.
Thus, a silent operation began. They used their power to investigate and screen all those who might fit this trait.
What I'm going to do goes without saying; that's just human nature. You can live well, but you can't live better than me.
This is especially true for some people in power. They find it hard to tolerate those who were once subservient to them, who have risen to great heights simply because of some vague and intangible qualities.
A large forest has all kinds of birds.
Stark had anticipated this. Why would he go to such lengths to broadcast this live just to explain the conditions for joining the Star of Light?
Most importantly, it's about getting rid of the dregs of humanity. Before, he was constrained by pressure and complicated relationships between various countries, but now, he can do whatever he wants.
Without exception, all those who attempted terrorist acts were harmlessly disposed of by Stark through "Word of Power" and Jarvis's robot matrix.
These actions did not cause much of a stir.
During the operation, Steve's projection reappeared in the sky.
His expression was serious as he spoke, word by word: "The Star of Light will not remain aloof from human politics. Our actions are based on three principles: protecting the weak, maintaining peace, and upholding justice."
"However, anyone who wants to provoke us, whether you are a country, a superorganism, or an alien, will be dealt with accordingly."
"If you cross the line, Star of Light will make you pay an unimaginable price, a price you cannot afford."
"In our eyes, there are no national borders, no racial distinctions; there are only people who yearn for peace!"
The projection slowly dissipated in the air. Countless people looked up at the sky. On that day, all they remembered was the light emanating from the Star of Light—it was incredibly bright.
