Chapter 352: Magic Nemesis, Super Tyrant Arrives
"Superman?"
"What is that?"
"A superman who is good at dealing with magic." Chen Tao said honestly, his eyes full of sincerity.
He said: "To be honest, to some extent, you are an opponent that I am not very good at dealing with."
Chen Tao said this very sincerely.
In terms of personality alone, as the angry spirit of God, the heyday of Eclipse is almost the same as the Spectre. It is a completely evil version of the Spectre and is the first-tier strength of DC magic.
Doctor Fate, Swamp Thing, Demon Etrigan...
These powerful characters on the magic side are not worth mentioning in front of the heyday of Eclipse.
As for Chen Tao, before seeing Eclipse, he had never seen an enemy who used magic purely like him.
Even for the real Batman Bruce Wayne, magic is a complicated and confusing thing.
Whether it is Darkseid or Brainiac, they are playing with the physical rules that Chen Tao can understand.
No matter how strong Darkseid's Omega rays are, he will be beaten to his knees by brute force when he sees Superman Prime. No matter how strong Brainiac's mental control ability is, he will be disgusted if he accidentally connects to the Joker's laughing mind - but magic is different.
What effect can this magic circle have? To what extent does Eclipse control the Justice League? Will every action of Eclipse hide a magic trap that he is not aware of?
These are all unknowns, and Chen Tao hates this state very much.
Although he has read comics in his previous life, comics are not magic books, and they will not record all the complex magic one by one.
After synchronizing with the Batman, based on the Batman's shallow understanding of magic, Chen Tao finds it even more difficult to estimate the power of Eclipse, and has no idea what he can do.
Behind the seemingly simple spells, there may be countless traps, waiting for the ignorant layman to step into them.
Sometimes, seemingly normal behaviors are actually hidden traps. Once you do this in front of a magician, you will just step into the opponent's plan, and you don't know what unpredictable consequences will be caused...
It can only be said that magic is such a complicated and troublesome thing. For example, in the comics, there is a very famous magic trap created by Constantine:
As long as you step into Constantine's lair [Mysterious House], you will sign a magic contract with Constantine without knowing it, and the main content of the contract is that when Constantine needs you, he can pull you over to be his thug at any time.
And with Constantine's character, the unlucky people who are pulled over are either used as sacrifices or as meat shields, and they are pitted. Many magic-related characters such as Swamp Monster and Vampire Andrew have been victims of this magic trap.
(Note: Refer to the plot of the comic book "New 52 Dark Justice League", Constantine said "If you don't come to help, forget it" and then did such a thing on the spot)
So now facing this uncontrollable situation, Chen Tao's attitude is:
Do more, make more mistakes, do less, make fewer mistakes, do nothing, no mistakes.
That's right, even if Eclipse is now gradually controlling the entire Suicide Squad, even if Barry is now struggling to deal with the entire Justice League, Chen Tao has to wait, before Superman arrives, he must ensure that Eclipse...
cannot control himself.
That's right.
Chen Tao narrowed his eyes.
Even if he has only a vague understanding of the complicated traps and routines of magic, Chen Tao knows how to fight.
A battle usually has a clear purpose. A tactical goal.
If he is Eclipse, there is no reason to let him go. He is the one who is worth controlling in the entire Justice League. As long as he controls himself, Eclipse may not find a more powerful superpower than himself in the world. He will become Eclipse's weapon, the most powerful weapon, and then help him turn the whole world into ruins.
He is like a locked box now. The power of the metal spirit and the brain that has become a weight are preventing Eclipse from using his innate magic power on him. But if he is Eclipse, he will definitely find a way to pry open this iron box. As long as he can get Batman, the other members of the Justice League will no longer be so important.
"Super, how long will it take you to arrive?" He asked Super in a low voice in the communication, and then got the other party's cold voice:
"About one minute. My process of absorbing kryptonite should not be interrupted."
"If you want, I can directly..."
"Don't even think about it." Super said: "Don't think about using your portal to appear directly beside me. To put it bluntly, I don't trust you."
Chen Tao was indifferent.
Damn it.
If he could use the golden portal opened by the Death King's treasure, the Golden Ball, to instantly pull Super over, it would be great, but the Crime Syndicate has its own parent box as a means of transmission. Super used the parent box to actively block all the possibilities of using the portal to pull him over.
He was always wary of Chen Tao, and Chen Tao also understood Superba. If he allowed himself to open a portal beside him at any time, would it be possible that the next time the portal was opened, it would be an assassination? Superba would never allow this. After all, Superba was not Amanda Waller. He came from another universe and had a set of technological systems belonging to his own universe, which made it difficult for Chen Tao to control him. Chen Tao raised his arm and looked at the communicator on his wrist.
Speedy sucked kryptonite like an addiction, and there was no way to stop it midway.
But fortunately, he was still reliable. If it took one minute...
It would probably be there, right?
So...
There were 50 seconds left.
"I'm curious." Eclipse said.
He manipulated Amanda Waller, whose face was already blue and purple, to stand next to Bloodsport.
The fat top female agent also took out a gun and shot at the Flash not far away, standing in a row with Bloodsport at the same time.
Although under control, both Bloodsport and Amanda Waller lost their excellent marksmanship.
But for the already exhausted Flash, the bullets like rain still took up some of his energy.
"Roar!!!!" Eclipse stretched out his hand and pinched the Shark King who was howling and rushing towards him.
Not far away, the Flash created a storm, sweating profusely under the siege of Wonder Woman, Martian Manhunter, and Killer Frost.
40 seconds.
With a burst of howling, King Shark's face also turned blue-purple.
Thunder Shazam has now turned back into Billy Butters, who is the easiest member of the Justice League to deal with. Flash just used his extreme speed to steal Wonder Woman's Lasso of Truth, and then put it on the neck of Shazam, who was already controlled, and asked him what his transformation spell was. With a Shazam, Billy's weapons were immediately disarmed.
Flash has tied him up and thrown him not far away, but the remaining people are not so easy to deal with.
Frost Killer was previously arranged by Amanda Waller to guard the Heart of Darkness, but he met Maxwell Lord and was controlled by mistake. Instead, he became his follower and helped him break the door, and then he was brought here.
The opponent's cold air was too restrained Barry's speed, and with the addition of the magic power of the eclipse, Barry couldn't take her down for a while.
And the situation of Barry, who was slowed down, was even worse when facing Wonder Woman and Martian Manhunter.
But he gritted his teeth and didn't say a word of help to Batman.
It's different... right? It's different. Whatever Batman didn't do with him, he must have his reasons.
30 seconds.
"You are deliberately letting the entire Suicide Squad be controlled by me." Tianxie said:
"You have long thought that if you bring them here, they will most likely be controlled by me. So you left a mental link on them, trying to connect to my brain when I control them, and then instill your dirty mental pollution into them."
He said: "But you failed."
"Yes, I failed." Chen Tao said: "But I successfully wasted your time. You didn't control countless ordinary people in the first place like you escaped from the Heart of Darkness countless times."
He said: "You wasted your time controlling the Suicide Squad. And I wasted time."
Chen Tao keenly noticed that Tianxie was stalling. He didn't understand why, but it was just what he wanted.
20 seconds.
King Shark also joined the process of besieging Flash. In the corners that no one noticed, the wild laughter on the mouths of Wonder Woman and Martian Hunter appeared and disappeared repeatedly, as if someone was constantly looking for the source of the connection through them.
10 seconds.
At that moment, Chen Tao suddenly felt that an extremely huge mental force rushed into his head in an instant, almost tearing his mind apart.
He turned his head suddenly and saw Martian Hunter standing up like a corpse. The mental connection that Chen Tao had shared with him before became a means for him to bind his brain in reverse. The endless mental shock was forcing Chen Tao to remove his ability to use the metal spirit to protect his brain.
But the problem was not big.
Chen Tao looked at the Martian Hunter with a distorted expression indifferently. The Martian Hunter's mental ability was not that strong. From just now to now, Tianxie was probably busy strengthening him.
Because he turned his brain into an iron weight, Tianxie's corrosion had no effect on lifeless machines, so he must find a way to remove himself from the state of being protected by the metal spirit.
And the Martian Hunter's mental control ability is a good medium.
But Chen Tao sent out his laughing thoughts to the members of the Justice League, interrupting Eclipse's spell, so he was not able to succeed with one strike.
Chen Tao frowned and looked at Eclipse.
But now was a good opportunity. If he was the other party, he would...
Wonder Woman Diana got up from the ground, raised her sword and shield, rushed towards Chen Tao, and swung the sword without mercy.
At this time, Chen Tao also shouted: "Super! You have to show up immediately!"
5 seconds.
Chen Tao turned around and pinched Wonder Woman's neck and pressed him to the ground on the left, while Eclipse grabbed his head at the same time and pushed him back. Chen Tao was forced to let go, and the two people entangled and retreated, leaving Wonder Woman in place, so that she... appeared behind Eclipse.
Eclipse's goblin-like face showed a smile. Even though Martian Manhunter's mental control ability was not strengthened to the point of completely controlling Batman due to the influence of the laughing thoughts, it still gave him an opportunity to get close to Batman.
Yes, Batman is still protected by the Metal Spirit, but so what? At such a close distance, it can completely change a host. As long as he leaves Maxwell Lord's body and takes Batman as his new host, no matter what protection he has, it will collapse. He can completely control Batman, manipulate his body to change his metal skull back, and then everything will be under his control.
For Eclipse, a powerful host can definitely take his strength to the next level, not to mention the information he obtained from Maxwell Lord's mind. The various messes that Batman can turn into will surprise even the knowledgeable Eclipse.
But now all this will belong to him. Batman will become the strongest Eclipse host in history, and help him collect all the Eclipse fragments, and finally challenge the ghost and take them back...
However, what people did not expect was that Wonder Woman, who seemed to be controlled by Eclipse, swung her sword and slashed Eclipse's back at this time, causing the opponent to stagger.
"You..." Eclipse's spell was interrupted. He turned his head angrily and saw a mixture of wild laughter and dementia on Wonder Woman's face.
The powerful magical life instantly understood the reason why Wonder Woman was controlled.
"Control the body directly through the brain through drugs???"
He turned his head and looked at Batman: "You actually did this to your teammates?"
And what responded to him was Batman's grim smile: "You know? It's almost done."
"What?"
0 seconds.
Superman descended.
The silver portal opened, and endless light fell from the sky. Eclipse looked up and saw a figure in a red cloak descending like a god.
His face was no different from the former Superman, but his face was full of disgust and indifference that Clark would never show.
"I'm so annoyed." He said, "You really make me restless, Batman. I have to stop my meal and come to babysit for you."
"Thank you. Carl El." Then Eclipse heard Batman say, "This guy is a powerful wizard. Dealing with such dangerous wizard characters should be your specialty."
"I'm not your parent. You shouldn't come to me for everything." Superman crossed his arms and floated in front of Chen Tao, then said, "For the sake of the speed force, but there will be no next time. Never take my kindness for granted."
"And..." Superman turned his head and looked at Eclipse next to him. Then his face showed even more disgust and contempt, as if he was looking at a bug and garbage.
"Is this the thing?"
He asked.
