Chapter 423 Today's title is just two words: Superman
When the smoke and dust of the explosion dissipated, the hot energy flickered like a furnace that was about to burn out. Killer Croc, who was driving a spaceship, flew over with William Hand and ventriloquist Arnold.
"Atrocitus stayed at the scene to maintain order. He is the leader of the Red Lantern Corps. This identity makes him naturally feared by the yellow and green lanterns." Killer Croc climbed out of the spaceship, shook his tail, and floated a little distance out of thin air, directly to Chen Tao's side.
"Yeah." Chen Tao nodded.
At this time, he synchronized with Green Lantern Batman and was using the power of his green lantern ring to completely eliminate the aftermath of the explosion.
Just like the aftermath of a nuclear bomb explosion, Chen Tao was not sure whether the aftermath of this explosion would affect a surrounding intelligent planet. He was not familiar with this place, so he had to do what he should do.
He listened to Killer Croc's report and nodded: "So everyone is here except Atrocitus? Uh, wait, who did you leave behind?"
"Atrocitus." Killer Croc was a little confused.
Chen Tao looked at him with some pity.
In terms of leadership, Atrocitus ranks last in the Seven Lanterns. When he returns, maybe the two corps will have to fight.
Chen Tao rubbed his temple. Well, this can't be blamed on his Robin's decision-making mistakes. After all, in Killer Croc's opinion, Atrocitus is indeed the right person.
Chen Tao is not in a hurry. While he continues to manipulate the energy of the Green Lantern Ring to slowly eliminate the various effects caused by the explosions, he uses the perspective of the speed bullet and turns his head to look at all the members in the spacecraft.
"Where is Professor Klein (Scarecrow)?"
"Scarecrow..." Killer Croc hesitated a little, and the big crocodile shook its tail: "When the battle was fierce before, many members of the Yellow Lantern Corps died. Dr. Klein snatched a Yellow Lantern ring and ran away. Now he has probably fled to a corner of an unknown galaxy."
"..."
Chen Tao did not speak.
Although Scarecrow was feared in daily life, he immediately became a threat with a Yellow Lantern Ring. Or in other words, a threatening weapon like a lantern ring is a threat no matter who holds it, let alone him.
However, Chen Tao did not have the energy to deal with this matter for the time being, so he secretly decided to hand it over to Hal and his Yellow-Green Corps.
Soon, some of the effects of the violent explosion were reduced to the minimum by his quick processing, and then he began to fly towards the center of the explosion.
"Roar!"
The Parallax Monster no longer looked as arrogant as before, but drooped there like a frost-bitten eggplant.
Soon, one lamp furnace after another flew out, splitting the Parallax Monster, which had been weakened too much by the bombs and heavy artillery of the little blue man of the universe guardian, into four parts, and sealed them in the green lanterns.
In this way, even if someone gets a lamp furnace in the future, they can't release the complete Parallax Monster.
William Hand also got off the spaceship at this time, and he flew to the half-dead Mongo floating not far away.
He looked at the death on the other's face and the rotten face of the other. Even if the power of the black of decay guaranteed that Mongo would not die, just looking at his face, William felt that he was dead.
A face that has lost hope and vitality, even if it is barely alive because of being rejected by death, how can it be considered alive?
"Do you know me?" William asked.
He saw Mongo reluctantly turned his head, glanced at him, and then quickly turned his head.
His body is barely intact now, firstly because the Parallax Monster has resisted too much power of the explosion, and secondly, his body strength after the body was shattered and reconstructed is also higher.
The combination of the two, coupled with the fact that the parallax monster chose to possess him again at a critical moment, caused Mungo to not even fall apart, and most of his body was intact.
At this time, Mungo just wanted to quietly enjoy his failure, and didn't want to talk to the little brat at all.
"You know what? What you are desperately craving is the fate I have always wanted to reject."
William Hand forced himself to endure his quirk of being interested in corpses. This quirk comes from the Black Death Emperor, and it is basically difficult to disappear unless the Black Death Emperor disappears.
In the past, William had indulged himself and completely sunk into this desire, but now he is no longer the me of the past.
"Is it really worth it? All this?"
William Hand asked: "Is victory really that important? Is it worth turning yourself into this?"
Then he saw Mungo's eyes.
"We are all resisting our own destiny." He heard Mungo say.
"It's just that I failed in my resistance, but you are still trying."
His voice was low and hoarse.
On the other side, the ventriloquist didn't know when he brought the divine gloves to Chen Tao.
This was the original Green Lantern weapon made by Kalona himself. Mongo had previously given it to the rotten corpse Aqilo, who was controlled by him, and asked him to hunt down Killer Croc and his men in the Red of All Living Things. As a result, with Mongo's defeat, Aqilo's hunt came to nothing.
And it was unknown when this divine glove fell into the hands of the ventriloquist.
The middle-aged old white man in a maid's outfit squatted in front of Chen Tao like a dog. Chen Tao knew that his mental illness had begun to act up again.
He looked at Arnold, who was a little distorted due to the pain, but still had eyes full of expectations for him.
The hand with the power ring had burst veins at some point, and green pus and blood kept flowing out, and it looked a little swollen as if it was swollen.
Chen Tao knew that was the side effect of the power ring, and every coward controlled by the ring would rot day by day.
But Arnold was obviously an accident.
He used his willpower to forcibly endure the pain brought by the ring, and then looked at Chen Tao expectantly with a pair of big Karanzi eyes, hoping to be praised.
This inexplicable emotion supported him, helping him resist the erosion and control of the ring psychologically and even physically.
The bat baby doll in his hand was obviously broken into pieces, but he used the green light energy to forcibly repair it, and it kept floating beside him, constantly nagging and complaining.
"Good boy..."
"Am I the best maid in the world?"
"Ah, yes, yes, yes."
"I helped Master Batman, right?"
"Yes!"
"Woo woo woo, Master Batman loves me, yes..."
"Is it over?"
Chen Tao stopped comforting his male and female servants speechlessly, and then took the power gloves in his hands.
But after taking the gloves, Chen Tao looked at the ventriloquist's hand, and even with Chen Tao's usual cold-blooded heart towards super villains, he couldn't help but feel a little guilty.
"If you feel pain, I will help you take off the ring when I return to Earth." Chen Tao said.
"No, no, no!"
But his words were quickly rejected by the ventriloquist in person.
Well...
Chen Tao paused, and didn't intend to continue listening to the ventriloquist's bunch of loyalty nonsense.
He soon realized that he was facing a madman, and a madman should not be treated with common sense.
But...Is it a bit unethical for me to tease and use a madman like this?
Chen Tao suddenly scratched his head, and his heart broke out.
So...
"Oh, dear Batman! My dearest Batman QwQ! The sun that I miss so much, the only one in Gotham..."
Chen Tao, who tried to talk to the male and female servants nicely, was annoyed by the bombardment of trash talk. Finally, he said briefly:
"Go away."
The world was quiet.
"Let's go back to Planet OA to see how Atrocitas is doing. And..."
"Supergirl."
...
...
...
Earth.
Kent Farm.
Although Clark Kent had hoped that his mother Martha Kent would settle in Metropolis many times after he had established a foothold in Metropolis, he had already become a formal reporter for the Daily Planet. Although the salary as a reporter was not very generous, it was enough for his mother to rent a house to live in.
But Martha Kent rejected her son's kindness. She. She had lived in the countryside for almost half of her life and was really not used to the noisy life in the city. And for Superman Clark Kent, this was actually not a big problem.
Before he lost his superpowers, he could have flown back and forth in just a few minutes.
Later, even though he lost his superpowers, Batman agreed to lend him one of his spare Batplanes.
This completely invisible spacecraft, which can take off with a runway and land vertically, and is called an airplane, also greatly facilitates Clark's transportation.
Oh Clark is not a pedantic person, although he will not accept the money Batman gives him for no reason - this may make their friendship a little strange.
But borrowing a friend's car is not a psychological burden for Clark. In Clark's view, it is a proof of their friendship.
Therefore, every weekend and Sunday, Clark would drive such an invisible Batplane from Metropolis to take Louis back to his old home in Kent Farm, Kansas for vacation, and then return to Metropolis to work on weekdays.
The big boy on the farm sometimes works in the fields, or feeds livestock such as cattle, sheep, and pigs. For Martha, although she can do these jobs, they are a bit too tiring.
And despite not having superpowers, Clark is still a strong farm boy.
So when Batman was busy saving the world, Superman was happily being a carefree country youth on his farm... This was a wonderful time, reminding Clark of his boyhood.
- At that time, his adoptive father Jonathan Kent was still alive, and the world was thriving and full of hope.
But in short, just as everyone knew that he would definitely draw the sword from the first moment the sword was hidden in the sheath, Clark Kent's heroic career would never end simply.
So when Clark walked out of the cowshed holding a dung fork, he saw General Zod and his two men sitting in the shape of a finished product on the seed drill that had not been turned off on Kent's farm. The legs of the female adjutant Fiora were still too long, and they were as shallow as a dragonfly touching the water, creating ripples on the ground that attracted other people's attention.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
Clark's heart beat violently, and he first took two steps back, then threw the dung fork on the ground.
He immediately sent a message to the Justice League.
Then he heard General Zod's voice: "Kal-El." Clark looked up and saw red light in his eyes: "It's been a long time."
This was a very imposing confrontation. On one side was Clark Kent, who was dressed in a farmer's outfit, tall and strong. Although he had lost his superpowers, he was not without a fighting force. On the other side was the Zod trio, dressed in black, sitting high on the machine, looking down at their old rivals.
Their cloaks fluttered in the afternoon breeze of Kent's farm.
Then Clark heard General Zod's voice: "Anyway, Fiora, give him some water first to see if it's the unlucky thing last time."
The female adjutant nodded, and then, with a sharp whistle, Fiora disappeared on the spot, bringing a wave of air. Before Clark could decide whether to restore his superpowers to fight the other party, he was soaked by the water in the giant bucket that the other party had brought from who knows how many kilometers away.
Clark:?
After confirming that the Superman in front of him was not a fake, General Zod spoke again.
"Kal-El," he said, "old friend." His voice was low, "I'm here for you." He looked at the other person, "Don't think about Batman. Kal-El, look at you." His expression was a little contemptuous and a little regretful. "If you could barely be considered a warrior when you charged last time we met, now you're just a dog with a broken spine." He turned his head, his eyes flashed with a faint white light, and Clark knew that the other party was using his farsighted eyes and perspective eyes. "Shut up! Zod!" Clark spoke immediately, although he knew that once the other party's thoughts about his mother Martha and girlfriend Louise were raised, it would be difficult to stop them in the first place with his current physical condition, but he could only stop them as much as possible and attract the other party's attention. General Zod continued, "He can't come here for the time being, and this is also my opportunity. You see, I don't even shy away from admitting this." Clark's face was a little ugly. He knew very well what General Zod wanted to express. A simple translation is that he doesn't even want to be embarrassed. This time he is determined to win at all costs and has chosen the best time. General Zod said: "You'd better not count on the other rubbish on this planet. You know. Now, it's between us... and you should know what I want." He stared into Clark's eyes, and then suddenly bowed deeply to Clark in a very formal Kryptonian etiquette. "You know." He said: "I want you."
