Chapter 57 Killing and Punishing the Heart
In the sky, Clark, as the supreme military commander, watched the opened sonic channels approaching his comrades, and also gave orders there for the army to provide fire support to the area where the members of the Justice League were located. Although the army can't be of much use in such superhuman battles, at least the strong fire support can distract these monsters, allowing Wonder Woman and others to better focus on their own battles.
But this time, Clark miscalculated. The biggest headache for these fearless monsters is to obey orders. At this time, there was only one order in the head of the demon-like legion, which was to surround these members of the Justice League who were held down by the replicas, and even at the cost of their own lives, they could not let them out of the battle circle. Surrounded by three floors inside and three floors outside, Wonder Woman and the others had no extra thought to pay attention to the situation outside, and could only deal with the replica in front of them.
It was precisely because of this that when the opened sonic channels in the sky suddenly expanded their range and fell towards the battle circle where Wonder Woman and the others were, they were also defenseless.
The sonic boom channel fell, directly swallowing the four Wonder Woman, Flash, Green Lantern, and Martian Manhunter who were trapped in the battle circle, together with the demon-like legion that surrounded them, and the area where the sonic boom channel disappeared. A large piece, the four veterans of the Justice League, just disappeared from Clark's eyes. And all of this happened at the same time as the mechanical superman appeared.
Little Jonathan, who originally wanted to do something in the air, was hit by the mechanical superman who appeared before he could be rescued, and flew towards the area where the city center was located. And Clark can only watch all this happen, but he can't do anything, because now he is just an ordinary person, not the omnipotent superman. A genius remembers 噺バ一Chinese in a second m.x/8/1/z/w.c/o/m/
At the same time, in front of the Capitol, the Rainbow Dimensional Wall rose. When Ke Wen rushed out of the Dimensional Wall to prepare for use and stopped the rescue, it was still a step too late. What can be seen is the sonic explosion channel that descended from the sky and wiped out several battle circles. Devoured and disappeared, leaving only a bumpy mark on the ground. In the sky, Little Jonathan was attacked by the mechanical superman and crashed into the city center.
No matter how powerful the time stop is, it can only stop the current time. For things that happened just now and in the past, even Chronos, the real god of time, cannot change at will.
"Am I a step too late?" Looking at the potholes left after being swallowed by the blast channel, Ke Wen said in a heavy tone.
"Yes, but it's not your fault. I will control the scene here and help Jonathan. Mechanical Superman is not that easy to deal with. If possible, destroy him as soon as possible!"
Um? When Clark said this, Ke Wen was also frightened. In his memory, except for those aliens who did not look like humans, such as demons, who would be killed by Superman, Superman and bats Like the hero, it is the principle of not killing, including the matter of dealing with the mechanical superman. How can you change your sex when you become president?
"What I mean by abolishment is to leave him with a head. Mechanical superman, no, to be precise, Hank Henshaw's current body is basically not human. There are very few flesh and blood parts. Even if it is only The remaining one head will not affect his life operation. Leaving one head means that there is no threat, and I can extract the information I want from his brain. return."
With a helpless explanation, Clark is also speechless. Does he look murderous now?
"I'm sorry, I was thinking too much. You should pay attention here. I'll let Steel Bone call someone down to help you."
With a sigh of relief, Ke Wen, who knew that he was nervous, also said there,
He has just released a big move in space that washes the ground with a super-full map. He has not fully recovered and has to devote himself to the next battle. No matter how uncomfortable he is physically, he must also join this battle. Mechanical Superman, The fighting strength of the guy who hooked up with the word Superman is beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
The Rainbow Dimensional Wall rose again, Ke Wen also disappeared from Clark's eyes, and went to the downtown area to support Little Jonathan in a flash. And Clark also began to contact Amanda, the director of the Sky Eye Society, to clean up the battlefield after the turmoil ended in the Capitol. As for his wife Louise, he had arranged for someone to escort her away as early as the first time. .
He knew very well that in such a battle, his wife could not be of much help, and even said that if they were targeted by Apocalypse, their side would be very passive.
In the center of the Capital District, when Ke Wen transferred here with the help of the Rainbow Dimensional Wall, a battle between Superman and Superman was going on. Just by talking to Clark, Jonathan Jr., the son of Superman, had already turned a block in the central area into ruins due to the battle between the son of Superman and the mechanical superman. Collision between, the damage caused by impact on force.
When this kind of destruction scene that can only be seen on the screen with special effects is presented in front of Ke Wen, Ke Wen himself feels very disillusioned, because it is too shocking. The feeling of punching to the flesh is different from using energy to bang.
"It's more powerful than watching a Hollywood special effects movie, but in the movie, human life is worthless, so it doesn't work here. This way of fighting, the demolition of the entire Capital District is not enough to cause trouble for you two. Let's fight in another place."
While making complaints and raising his hand, the rainbow dimensional wall rising behind Ke Wen is also expanding rapidly. In a few seconds, it has expanded to the size of a block. Following the direction of Ke Wen's wave, the rainbow dimensional wall It also covered the two people who were fighting each other with eight punches. The two people who were fighting didn't respond, they were just covered by the rainbow dimension wall, or both of them reacted.
But as the little Jonathan who knows everything, he is very aware of the characteristics of this trick, entangled the mechanical superman, and let Ke Wen's rainbow dimensional wall cover the two. As the Rainbow Dimensional Wall passed by, the two who were still fighting in the capital special zone came to the desert in the blink of an eye.
?
Faced with this sudden switch scene, the mechanical superman didn't react immediately, but before he could distance himself from little Jonathan, Ke Wen, who had been waiting for a long time, appeared beside him, holding the long sword in his hand. A slash came to the mechanical superman's chest, which directly sent the mechanical superman flying, fell from the air, smashed into several sand dunes on the desert, and filled the sky with yellow sand.
"It's all right, Jonathan."
"Well, it's okay, but I didn't help The Flash and them." Ke Wen's relief and concern made Jonathan look happy, but when he thought that he hadn't rescued the Flash, they were just swallowed by the sonic channel. Little Jonathan's expression didn't look good either.
He was very clear about his identity and his abilities. At his father's inauguration ceremony, when he didn't perform as expected for his identity, he also had a bit of disappointment on his face.
"Please, things haven't gotten to the worst of it yet. You're just a child. If you didn't have that journey to another universe, you'd just be getting ready for kindergarten now. Why add so many dramas to yourself? Is there a solution here?"
Stretching out his hand, the long sword pointed at the mechanical superman who flew up from the ground and was unscathed by Ke Wen's sneak attack. Ke Wen also comforted there.
"Who are you?" Ascending into the air, the mechanical superman who was attacked by Ke Wen also looked directly at the magenta monster who suddenly came out, and asked.
"Kamen Rider Liqi, shouldn't you know about me early on? Didn't your master Darkseid tell you about me? Forget it, it doesn't matter, I want to know who you are."
"I am Superman!"
"Oh? Aren't you Hank Henshaw?" Ke Wen didn't wait for the mechanical superman's way of pretending to be stupid, and directly revealed the true identity of the mechanical superman. Superman himself felt outside.
But then the performance of the mechanical superman, that is, Hank Henshaw, made Ke Wen puzzled. When Ke Wen revealed the true identity of the mechanical superman, the mechanical superman also showed a puzzled expression on his face. He looked at Ke Wen and little Jonathan and said, "Who is Hank Henshaw?"
"That's boring for you, my friend. Is it a characteristic of your country to dare to do something? Since you don't know who Hank Henshaw is, I will remember it for you. Jonathan, pester him!"
Ke Wen was also upset about Hank Henshaw's pretending to be stupid. From the beginning when the main universe destroyed the day to release the offspring to cause trouble, until the life and death of several main members of the Justice League were unknown, he was also full of anger. If you want to play then, just do as Clark said, beat you to pieces and play slowly!
As for Ke Wen's instructions, little Jonathan, who was taken care of by Ke Wen and grew up, would naturally not refuse. With an order, little Jonathan also slammed into the mechanical superman like an arrow from the string. What kind of long-range attack does Mechanical Superman play? As for Ke Wen, he stood aside viciously, with his palms open, and took out the kryptonite he had collected from his system space.
In the DC universe, if you don't have a kryptonite in your hand, you will be ashamed to call yourself a villain when you go out. My own kryptonite was obtained from Batman in several major events before. The high-purity Kryptonite native kryptonite is much stronger than artificial kryptonite in terms of power and radiation range.
Since Hank Henshaw was transformed into a mechanical superman by Darkseid, kryptonite will naturally have an effect on him. After all, to reach the level of superman, there is no Kryptonian data. If technology alone, no matter what, there is an upper limit. As for Little Jonathan, as a hybrid of Krypton and Earth, kryptonite really doesn't have a big impact on it, but judging from the outbreak of the original Cavaliers event and Little Jonathan's own explanation.
Being able to absorb everything, be it energy or radiation, in theory, the radiation of kryptonite is also within the range that little Jonathan can absorb, but the current little Jonathan has not yet developed his potential to the maximum. But this is enough to be hungry, at least Ke Wen knows that kryptonite can't have too bad an effect on little Jonathan, then it's the turn of Mechanical Superman to be unlucky.
Thinking of this, Ke Wen held the kryptonite in one hand, and pulled out the skill card from the knight card box with the other hand, threw it into the driver with one hand, inserted it, read it, and the sound effect sounded.
attack ride! invisible!
With the sound of skill sound effects, Ke Wen, holding kryptonite, also disappeared from the perception of Little Jonathan and Mechanical Superman, leaving no trace.
Back at the Capitol in the Capital District, Clark was also listening to the head of the Sky Eye Society, Amanda Waller, report on the scene.
"How about casualties"
"Within the acceptable range, this time I was ready for a hemorrhage, but these standard equipment came in handy, and the loss was not as huge as we imagined."
"What about civilians?"
"There have been a few injuries, but no fatalities, so far. Although it is not appropriate to say this, I think you have not yet transitioned from your previous role as Superman. At this time, what you should do is call an emergency press release as soon as possible. Yes, make a brief report on our current situation, otherwise, I don’t think you will want to see the content of the headlines in the newspaper tomorrow.”
"Since when have you been so concerned?"
"As you can see, I don't care who my boss is, because I only serve this country. As the president, I have been responsible for the work during this period. Compared with your predecessor, you still have the previous ones For me, it can’t be better, and I also want to see this country be what it should be, so your approval rating must be maintained.”
"I understand, you can host, as soon as possible."
Regarding Amanda's confession, Clark has nothing to say. If it were his former self, he would definitely leave now, and use his resources as much as possible to understand the current situation of Little Jonathan, Ke Wen and the mechanical superman. But this is no good, at least not now. As Amanda said, the turmoil caused by Apocalypse was sudden, but because it had been rehearsed before, and the focus of the turmoil seemed to be on the members of the Justice League.
In addition to causing damage to the street surface of the block, it did not cause too many casualties. At least the site in front of the Capitol was well preserved. The media workers who had just experienced a turmoil tidied up their clothes and followed Amanda's guidance. Here, Clark stood in front of their cameras, smiling at the camera.
"I know that many people across the country, including the whole world, are paying attention to the turmoil from Apocalypse. But I can tell you that the turmoil on Apocalypse is over. I am fine, and neither are the people. In the Justice League and soldiers Thanks to the heroic counterattacks of the United Nations, we have won the turmoil, but it is only temporary.
The reason why Apocalypse came to make trouble is because they know very well that the Justice League, me, and the earth threaten them, and a messy earth plus the Justice League doesn't matter. But an earth that has begun to learn to unite and is led by the Justice League can pose a threat to them, so Apocalypse is afraid, so he chooses to make trouble at this time. I think at this time, someone must have said on social networking sites, why not keep the previous political environment of the earth, at least not be attacked by Apocalypse again and again.
In this regard, I can only say one thing to this kind of netizens and the public, you are a failure when you are born as a human being. If benevolence and peace are placed on a civilization aimed at unlimited government and expansion, then our end is destruction. So I will never compromise and do everything I have said, especially this attack. When Apocalypse invaded the earth for the first time, armies from all over the world were helpless in the face of Apocalypse's attack. Dozens, even hundreds of people sacrificed in exchange for the destruction of a demon squad from Apocalypse.
But monsters are cannon fodder for Apocalypse, we can't have as many as we want. But this time we got a victory for a very small price, and that's the beginning. Now, in the Sahara Desert, my son and the Kamen Rider are also fighting with the mechanical superman made by Apocalypse. They will defeat the mechanical superman and get the information of the missing members of the Justice League from him. We will rescue ours heroes, instead of leaving them to fight alone in foreign lands, we"
Clark's speech wasn't over yet. Leticia Luthor, who was escorted by a team of security guards, also appeared at the press conference at the first time, before Clark could ask questions. Leticia took the lead and said directly: "Your Excellency, the mechanical superman you mentioned has a name. His name is Hank Henshaw, my long-lost lover!"
When Leticia's voice-over came, the media workers who were well versed in this also turned the camera at the first time, aiming at Leticia who was slowly walking towards the podium.
But for Clark, Leticia's appearance was not what he expected. In other words, did she really think that he would not dare to catch her if she appeared here so majestically as an enemy?
"Why are you here, Ms. Leticia." In fact, Clark really can't, even if they know that Leticia, Mechanical Superman and Apocalypse are together, all this is their own guess, according to Tianjian Guessed from the dictation of the survivor's family. Even the information on the surface can only show that Leticia and the mechanical superman are lovers, and can't explain anything else.
And just now, Leticia herself revealed her relationship with Mechanical Superman. This is definitely a good way to attract attention, at least for now, Clark has to put on a smiling face and say hello to Leticia.
"Of course I have to come here, Your Excellency, as one of the two major companies that cooperate with you, I can't pretend that I don't know anything about your accident. Lex's resignation does not affect my decision to cooperate with you. What’s more, I’m here to help you, and I’m also here to help Robot Superman.”
Simple greetings, both of them had smiles on their faces, but they both knew what they wanted to fight in their hearts.
"Ms. Leticia, you said that Mechanical Superman is your lover, and he is also called Hank Henshaw, can you explain to us what is going on!"
Many media workers watched the greetings of the two giants, and some media workers who noticed something was wrong spoke up. Of course, it is also possible that Leticia arranged in advance.
"Yes, that's exactly the purpose of my coming here. The mechanical superman who is fighting the President's son, the superhero Kamen Rider, in the Sahara desert is originally named Hank Henshaw. It was a cooperation between China and the United States 20 years ago. In the lunar exploration project, the captain of the spacecraft Tianjian crashed. The crash 20 years ago was not an accident, but a blow to the earth by Apocalypse. My lover also became a slave of Apocalypse because of this accident. Transformed into a mechanical superman.
The reason why I came here at this time is also because I got in touch with him when he was thrown into the earth as a weapon by Apocalypse, and I was able to save him and restore his sanity, but now, I need the help of the President . "
To put it simply and directly, he downplayed the process of why he was able to get in touch with the mechanical superman while avoiding the important. Once the topic was brought up, he also handed over the decision-making power to Clark. At this time, the nature of the matter has changed. If Leticia hadn't revealed himself, then the mechanical superman is a biological weapon made by Apocalypse, and no one will say anything if it is destroyed.
But now, the identity of the mechanical superman has changed from the perpetrator to the victim, and people are naturally sympathetic to the weak. Leticia's simple description just now is enough to make these people make up a reasonable plot in their minds. If he beats him to the head like before, then what he will meet next is the whole country. Up and down verbal criticism.
At this time, Clark finally understood why Mechanical Superman and Leticia did not move for a long time, and why the turmoil caused by Apocalypse seemed so anticlimactic. A whitewashing show of Mechanical Superman. What's even more helpless is that I don't have the right to choose to refuse now. With a proper conspiracy, and thinking of what I said about the title of Superman before, Clark can think of what Leticia will do after the whitewashing of Mechanical Superman.
Yes, Clark has figured everything out, but so what. At least for now, he can't do it, unless he has direct evidence that Leticia and Mechanical Superman contact and cooperate with Apocalypse, but none of this, so now, he can only endure and procrastinate!
"Great story, Ms. Leticia, but it's not going to be your will now. At least not right now, we have to arrest Mechanical Superman whether he's Hank Henshaw or not. As you said, it will have to wait for us and you to find out together."
"This is what it should be, but I also hope that this investigation will be transparent and open. I don't want some people to study the technology installed on my lover by Apocalypse as a guinea pig. You know I mean, Your Excellency the President."
"certainly!"
Gritting his teeth to say his promise, Clark took out his modified Superman watch and began to contact Ke Wen and Jonathan Jr. who were in the Sahara Desert at this time.
In the Sahara Desert, as Ke Wen sent kryptonite into his soul, the mechanical superman's body functions also became disordered. Just as Ke Wen thought, the mechanical superman has more or less some Kryptonian genes. Such genes are the foundation of the mechanical superman's strength. weakened. With Ke Wen and Jonathan Jr. launching a double knight kick, the mechanical superman also temporarily lost his ability to move and fell to the desert.噺⒏⑴The full text of the text is the fastest んττρs:/м.χ八⑴zщ.còм/
Just when Little Jonathan was going to use heat vision to vaporize the body of the mechanical superman, leaving only a head. Ke Wen, who had already received a message from Clark, could only stop Jonathan Jr. and tell him to stop this action.
"Don't do it, take it back."
"Why?"
"Because this is your father's request. It is the lover of this mechanical superman. Ms. Leticia Luthor asked your father to stop in front of many media. You really met a good woman, Mr. Hank Henshaw."
Looking down at Hank Henshaw, who was temporarily incapacitated with kryptonite inserted, Ke Wen also said something.
And fell on the ground, the mechanical superman who had been pretending to be crazy from the beginning, listened to the meaning of Ke Wen's words, and had remained sluggish, with a smile on his expressionless face, but the smile disappeared in a flash, and did not give Ke Wen text opportunity. And through the electronic eye on the left, Darkseid, who saw the turmoil and the good show from the beginning to the end, laughed in his palace.
Compared with the future self in the branch of King Ke Wen, he is much more successful. At least for now, whether it is the Justice League or the Teen Titans headed by Ke Wen, they are just pawns in his game. The only one who played the game was the dark and fallen Batman from his own unknown universe.
"Haha, everything is for Darkseid."
Looking at the scenery of Apocalypse outside, Dakseid was also saying his slogan there.
