Chapter 111: Ms. Shiva's Declaration of the World's Strongest
Chen Tao and a Kryptonian named Clark Kent walked on the ridge of the Kent farm.
The sunshine at 9:00 am or 10:00 am is the best time. It is neither scorching nor weak. It is slightly intoxicating. It makes people feel drunk. The cells of the Kryptonian are groaning and absorbing energy with joy.
Chen Tao and Clark walked, and neither of them spoke first.
Soon, they came to the edge of their own fields. Clark finally spoke:
"Is it really... only 2 choices?"
Chen Tao did not answer him directly. He whispered:
"I am Clark Kent, I will do it for mankind..."
He did not finish his words, but Clark understood what he meant.
"You can be anyone, Clark. But the most important thing is that you know who you will be. Your father is a great man," Chen Tao told Clark: "He gave you all the good qualities of mankind. I have always believed that human identity comes only from recognition, not blood." "Therefore, I sincerely hope that you don't have any illusions about Zod." Chen Tao lowered his eyebrows: "Don't go to see Zod, and don't try to persuade him. For Zod, the lives of all creatures on earth are not lives, but just insects. Including Martha Ken..." "Mr. Wayne - I hope you don't use your mother's name to interfere with my judgment." "I apologize for this," Chen Tao immediately replied him: "But the fact is , your conflict is irreconcilable. "
"You go to Black Zero, just give him a chance to kill you."
Chen Tao tried his best to persuade the other party, although according to his understanding of Superman, he knew and knew that it would always be futile-
Superman has never been a yes-man who believes whatever others say. He is the greatest hero on this planet, and there is a high probability that there will be no "one" after this title. He will have his own judgment. He just doesn't like to use his super brain:
If you can rush to any bad guy at a speed close to supersonic speed, and then punch him into a cookie, if others hit you, you lose 1×10-9999 trillion times of blood, and if you hit others, they will explode on the spot, you don't want to use your brain.
But this does not mean that Superman is a fool. Chen Tao knew very well that no matter how obedient he had shown to himself before, once it comes to the most core decision, Superman will never be fooled by anyone.
"Mom is worried, she didn't sleep all night." Clark changed the subject.
"She held me tightly and told me not to leave her." He squatted down, picked up a stone from the ground, weighed it in his hand, and seemed to want to throw it directly, but in the end he curled his fingers and crushed it into powder. "Last night, I flew all over the world." Clark said, "I even flew to the vicinity of Black Zero and observed them for a while." The atmosphere seemed a little stagnant. "I didn't find the world engine you mentioned, Mr. Wayne." He stood up and turned his head to look at Chen Tao. They faced each other in the field. Both of them stood in the light, and the golden sunlight stretched their shadows long. "My biological father's projection confirmed to me the existence of the world engine. But he also confirmed to me that General Zod was imprisoned in the Phantom Zone with nothing, and everything on Krypton was destroyed along with the planet. General Zod should not have mastered this kind of thing." "General Zod would never let it go..." "How do you know?" Chen Tao was silent. This is the worst part of the whole thing. He is a time traveler. He can deduce the process by combining the results with the comics and movies he knew in his previous life, but this means that nothing he said is supported by a complete chain of logic and evidence.
Therefore, facing Superman's questioning, he can only answer like this: "I just know, because I am Batman, and Batman knows everything."
Superman did not comment.
He turned around and continued to walk forward. Chen Tao followed him and walked shoulder to shoulder with him.
They crossed the ridges and hills, flew side by side through the dense trees, and then gradually began to accelerate. After flying for a while, they landed on a cement road far away from another town.
"So, where are we going now?" Chen Tao asked, "Where are you taking me?"
"You'll know when you get there." They walked along the path for about 6 minutes, and a church built on a small dirt slope outside the town came into view.
"When you are confused, you come to seek God's guidance?"
Chen Tao asked.
Then he saw a veil of biological force field covering Clark's face.
When he turned his gaze towards his face, Chen Tao could clearly see his handsome face, but once he looked away, this face became a mosaic in his memory, and even Clark's hair color was a little blurry.
Chen Tao sighed.
He snapped his fingers, and silver-white particles entangled his face, turning into the mask of the Broken Bat and the dark yellow pupils.
Facing Clark's gaze, Chen Tao said unhappily:
"Don't look at me like that, I don't want to be so ostentatious, but I don't have your biological position."
The two of them walked into the church together.
There were not many people in the church, only a priest standing on the stage. Hearing the sound of someone coming in, he subconsciously said:
"What are you thinking about?"
Then he looked up and saw Chen Tao's transformed bat floating above Clark's head like a dark cloud.
He was so scared that he swallowed his saliva.
Clark sat down on the chair without noticing or caring: "I don't know how to start."
He paused.
"The spaceship that appeared last night, I am the one they are looking for."
"And I am the Batman last night."
Chen Tao floated to the top of the priest's head like a ghost: "I am a human, and he is a Kryptonian."
You are more like an alien. The priest looked at Chen Tao's body, half of which was like gravel, and complained in his heart, but of course he did not say such comments.
This is not because he has a high emotional intelligence, but because his brain is blank at this time and he has almost lost the ability to process language.
He barely organized a sentence with normal word order and asked Clark:
"Do you know... why they are looking for you?"
"Reviving my home planet, the current inference is probably like this." Clark answered him: "But this General Zod, even if I surrender, he may not keep his promise, or the so-called promise was just a lie from the beginning."
"But... if I surrender, I can save the earth. Shouldn't I do it?"
Seeing that the priest was speechless, Clark shook his head.
Chen Tao walked out of the church with him.
Clark took out his mobile phone from his arms and adjusted it. A video was playing on it: "If he really doesn't want to harm us, then he should return to his people to bear the consequences... If he refuses to go, maybe we should send him. Lois Lane of the Daily Planet knows who he is. I think she is..."
Chen Tao knew him. This is Woodburn. Lois had worked with him before and published news about Clark together. Now, as expected, in the face of a global crisis, he sold Lois directly without any hesitation.
Clark silently stared at the information on the mobile phone screen.
Then he finally said:
"I can convince General Zod. Even if there is a high probability that it is impossible, but... I still want to try. I'm sorry, Mr. Wayne. Zod and his people are my last compatriots.
In any case, I have to try to see if there is a way to peacefully resolve all disputes."
Chen Tao sighed again. He knew it would turn out like this.
"Okay."
He said.
"I will never be stupid enough to fall into the trap." Clark told Chen Tao: "I will bring the master control key of the Kryptonian spacecraft. Black Zero itself is a spacecraft designed by my father. As long as I have the master control key, I should be able to seize part of the authority of this spacecraft."
"And this is a part of my body." Chen Tao dispersed the transformation of the Broken Bat and placed a small square piece of metal in Superman's palm.
The metal then deformed and turned into an inconspicuous iron ring, which was buckled on Superman's middle finger.
"You just need to leave it on the Kryptonian spaceship. It will help us when the time is right." Clark looked at him and nodded heavily: "Okay." Watching Clark's flying figure disappear into the sky, Chen Tao took out his mobile phone immediately, then blinked his eyes, and the mobile phone automatically operated and sent a text message to the Clayface: "Clark has surrendered to the army, and now Martha can be kidnapped!" Then he immediately switched to Alfred's interface: "Hurry up, Clark is finally gone, you use the Batplane to move all the kryptonite weapons here. And don't forget the kryptonite reactor armor! How is our scientist (Lucius) upgrading it?" ... ... ... ... ... Metropolis. In the hotel where Ms. Shiva and Jason stayed. The five-star hotel provides free buffet in the morning. "Teacher Shiva... We have been in Metropolis for a while, why don't you-" Ms. Shiva knocked on the table with chopsticks. She is an Asian, and she prefers to use chopsticks rather than knives and forks. "Don't worry, watch TV first." She said. The news on the TV next to the hall was still looping the video of the speech by the tabloid reporter Woodburn, who was promoting the idea that we should not protect Superman.
"I remember that Lois Lane. Only she could get the exclusive report on Superman. But at this time, the FBI has come to the door and captured this reporter alive."
Jason said: "This world has become more and more incomprehensible to me. A few years ago, I faced serial killers, psychopaths and mania, and the world was still normal at that time."
"Then there was the American Idol era where criminals had equal opportunities for everyone, and every third person with Tourette syndrome (note: clinical manifestations are motor tics, vocal tics, behavioral disorders) dared to claim to be the next clown with a makeup box."
"I originally thought that such an era was bad enough and crazy enough. But now even aliens have appeared."
"In fact." He put a piece of food into his mouth with chopsticks: "The content of the news these two days is really outrageous. I always feel like I'm watching "Rick and Morty""
He ate another bite of food and drank some beverage. While chewing, he said vaguely:
"Well... Challenging Batman is already magical enough, and now we may have to challenge aliens..."
Before he finished speaking, he saw the expression on Siwa's face, and then his expression collapsed.
"No way, do you really want to challenge aliens?"
"What about Batman? Aren't you going to challenge him?"
Then he was immediately asked back by Siwa.
"Since you are looking for excitement, why not just follow through to the end?"
Jason choked.
He stretched his neck and swallowed the food with all his strength, then said: "But you also saw how inhuman that Superman is."
He just felt tired. Does anyone remember their original purpose?
He was originally just here to fight Batman, and the place of the fight was supposed to be Gotham, but now he is staying in a five-star hotel in Metropolis-how did things turn out like this?
"I know, he's very strong."
Ms. Shiva said:
"Flames can't hurt him. He can easily knock down houses and lift dozens of tons of steel beams."
"Since you know this, shouldn't you know that this is definitely not an opponent that humans can fight against?"
Jason said: "Humans are completely incomparable to such aliens."
"You are wrong. The only difference between humans and aliens is strength. If these can be made up... Do you think I don't know that you have hidden something secretly, little Jason?"
Jason understood what the other party meant, and he didn't mean to hide it.
"I didn't prepare a lot of venom." He said: "Although Bane's subordinate called Zombie taught me the formula for making venom, I didn't make a lot due to time, materials and venue constraints."
But before he finished speaking, he heard Ms. Shiva said accurately: "Only one van was made, right?"
Jason was speechless.
Ms. Shiva said earnestly, "I have found the van you hid. It is too early for you to take the venom now. I will keep it for you. When you grow up a little bit, I will let you use the venom..."
"You want to use the venom to strengthen yourself, increase your strength to the point where you can fight aliens, and then challenge them with martial arts?"
Ms. Shiva pretended not to hear Jason's question: "You can locate Batman's plane, right?"
"Yes, that's right." Jason said sullenly, "He is still using the satellite codes of the past."
Ms. Shiva said, "Then you start locating it at any time now. I want to know when Batman will fight aliens."
Jason saw her lift the hair beside her earlobe, revealing a bloodthirsty smile, and biting the barbecue in front of her.
It was like a beast biting the flesh of its prey.
He remembered that Ms. Shiva was famous for killing other martial arts masters with her bare hands in her early years. There are countless martial arts masters who are proud to die at her hands.
"I want to go and see, too. Will aliens bleed? Can aliens be killed? This is really exciting..."
Shiva's eyes wandered.
But whether it's Batman or aliens, I will definitely win.
Because I am Shiva.
The strongest individual on this planet - no one else!
……
……
4 hours later.
General Zod and his men landed in front of the Kent family's house on the Kent farm.
As soon as General Zod got off the spacecraft, he saw Martha Kent with an uncomfortable and weird smile, standing at the door like a statue made of mud, waiting for them.
The surrounding town within a radius of dozens of miles was quiet, so quiet that there was not even the barking of dogs.
