Chapter 77 Unforeseen Development
At this time, the earth and the surrounding space field are in an extremely strange state. Let’s talk about space first. In order to prevent Apocalypse from playing such a game as extraterrestrial invasion, Ke Wen and others called a bunch of people from the earth to the space. The Green Lantern who came out came back to help the scene and set up a space barrier.
It's just that after Ke Wen used the game field to cover and the time-stop field released by the power of static force, the lantern men who had stayed in space for defense also rushed back to the earth. Those sonic explosion channels that are not within the coverage of the game field still flow out the first batch of Destroyer Demons, which combined the Doomsday gene, the Apocalypse biological weapon demon-like gene, and the Dakosam Starman gene. The first batch of Destroyer Demons are So gathered outside the game field, without taking a step forward.
It's not that they don't want to do this, but in the game field in front of them, the first batch of companions who stepped in have shown them what the result is after entering, that is, they turned into a statue in the game field of Shi Ting, Can't think, can't move, can't attack. Even if the group of destroying demons outside the game domain wanted to destroy these companions, the heat vision they released would freeze there like the first batch of destroying demons entering the game domain, doing everything no.
As the first batch of Destroyers to be born, they do not have the adaptive gene that is immune to the time-stop. It can be said that the moment Ke Wen opened the game field, they became the victims of Apocalypse to collect data. There is no other value. At this time, they are slowly advancing into Ke Wen's game field one by one according to the order conveyed to them by Apocalypse.
Their suicide entry method also provides Apocalypse with data, constantly updated data. And the collection of these data also makes the giant of Apocalypse active, continuously producing a new batch of destroyers, and sending them over through the sonic boom channel in the time-stop game field, constantly opening up the world. Ke Wen, who stopped from time to time, increased the pressure.
In the interior of the earth, most people and things are in a state of shutdown, and the superheroes of the earth who received Ke Wen's announcement from the beginning also rushed to the cities that were shrouded in the explosion channel according to the principle of proximity.
Paris, this is a city full of disasters. In the comic universe, the degree of unluckyness is second only to New York and Sydney. Because every time a big event starts, either New York falls or the Sydney Opera House is demolished, or the Eiffel Tower collapses. Before Ke Wen started the game field, half of the streets of Paris had been destroyed by the Destroyer, and the organized police and army had no ability to resist against the quantitative and qualitative advantages of the Destroyer until Ke Wen The field of play is open.
Carla and Connor and other Earth superheroes rushed to Paris. It's just that after they arrived at this time, they were also helpless about what happened before them, because what they saw was much more serious than what they had just understood. It was just the first round of the match, occupying the home field advantage in the field of time-stop games. Kara’s superheroes on the earth were half of their combat power was crippled by this new batch of destroyers squeezed out of the sonic channel. With Kara and Connor coming to the rescue, in this time-stopped game field, it is not just injuries, it is very likely that a group of people will die from the beginning.
But the defeat of the new force also made Kara and Connor feel pressure. These Apocalyptic biological weapons that appeared on the earth and were completely different from the demons they had fought before were completely beyond Kara's and Connor's expectations.
"What kind of monsters are they, Victor! Can you see them!" After placing the injured in a safe area, Kara and Connor led the remaining new force, guarding the defense line with the Eiffel Tower as the last barrier, watching Looking at the new batch of destroying demons that are approaching in front of them.
can see,
One after another, Destroyers squeezed out of the sonic explosion channel that was still operating in the time-stopped game field. Compared with the currently frozen destruction demons, they are more powerful. After confirming the target in front of them, they also launched a charge immediately, and fought with Kara and the others. With such an advantage in numbers, Kara and the others couldn't get close to the sonic boom channel immediately, and tried to turn it off, and they were even in danger of being destroyed.
But not all these Destroyers are so powerful. In the time-stop game field of Ke Wen, they can move, but the activity time is not too long. They only fight for less than a minute. They are also the same as the previous Destroyers. The movement of the figure began to become sluggish, and then freeze, becoming a living sculpture.
In the sky, starting from the opened sonic boom channel, layer by layer on its periphery, are all constantly active in the field of time stop, but are constantly suspended by time. It is precisely because of this that Kara and the others have the opportunity to breathe and move, and transfer the civilians and soldiers in this area, and at the same time call on Cyborg to let him see this situation.
"It's very clear, they, no, Apocalypse is acquiring data in the time-stopped field of Ke Wen, and then continuously upgrading these monsters. They are constantly adapting and evolving. If this continues, what Ke Wen created There is no deterrence in this time stop domain!"
"Then you still have time to talk to us here? Isn't this thing obvious enough! All you have to do is turn off this damn sonic channel for me!" In another city, Flashpoint kid Wally is While transporting the citizens, at the same time, with the help of his speedster ability, he can consume as much time as possible for these destructive demons to move in this time-stop game field opened by Ke Wen, so that they will be restricted by time-stop faster.
It’s just that he knows very well that if Apocalypse sends the Destroyer over endlessly, continuously collects Ke Wen’s time-stop game field data, and then continuously upgrades the Destroyer, according to the size of Apocalypse, it will not take three days. The effect of Ke Wen's time-stop game field will completely lose its effect. At that time, what they will have to face is a group of destroyers who are completely immune to time-stop, and they will not be able to fight at all.
So the best way now is to let the steel bone, which was born from the mother box, close the sonic boom channel of Apocalypse, and then gather all the power to leave these on the earth, temporarily unable to act because of Ke Wen's time-stop Destroyer erases, yes, erases, without leaving a trace.
If there were only one or two Destroyer Demons in normal times, they would choose to hand over the biological samples to the authorities, who would handle them. But now there are too many of these things, so many that Apocalypse uses them as a new generation of biological weapons. But the technology above, the gene is not what the earth can master now. Once there is any legacy, a group of careerists will be born on the earth. For the current earth, careerists are the last thing they need, because they can always Bad things at critical moments.
Regarding Wally's scolding, Steel Bone is also very clear, because its own birth is closely related to the Apocalypse Mother Box. It can be said that Steel Bone itself is a humanoid mother box, and it is only because of Ke Wen that it got rid of the half-human and half-machine fate. As long as he is there, as long as Apocalypse does not launch a full-scale invasion of the earth, but through the sonic channel, then no matter how many times Apocalypse comes, Steel Bone can unilaterally close the sonic channel through his own side, forming a closed door. dog situation.
But this time, Cyborg only needs to close the door as usual, and the Earth Green Lantern Jessica Cruz who is following him helps him cover, Cyborg closes his eyes, and starts to use the sensor on his forehead and the sonic channel Vibes, trying to shut down. But this time, he failed, he was rejected!
"Something is wrong!"
"At this time, you tell me something is wrong? Something is wrong here, okay?"
"I mean, I can't close the sonic boom channel. These sonic boom channels are controlled by Apocalypse on the one hand, and on the other hand, there is another mother box on the earth competing with me for more control. With this mother box, I can't close it at all. Explosion channel, you have to find this mother box, destroy it, or throw it back, otherwise this situation will continue forever!"
When Cyborg said that there was another mother box on the earth, everyone was stunned, because after the first Darkseid invaded the earth, according to the remains of the Apocalypse, several Mother boxes, but these master boxes only have part of the function of the original master box, which is transmission. It has no other functions like being a biological supercomputer, except for the humanoid mother box of the steel bone.
So when Cyborg said that there is another original Apocalypse Mother Box on Earth, everyone narrowed down the scope at once. Because from the beginning to the present, the only two people who can be related to the original mother box of Apocalypse, one is the mechanical superman, and the other is the biological mother who is currently competing with the two brothers and sisters Lex and Lena in the metropolis, Leticia Lu Frustrated. Only these two people can master the mother box. When thinking of these two people, on the New York side, the mechanical superman is cooperating with Darkseid's order to eliminate the destroyer.
And next to the mechanical superman is Little Jonathan, the second naturally born Kryptonian after Clark, and he is still of mixed blood. After learning about the situation, Jonathan Jr. also responded immediately.
"I didn't see any changes in him here, he is like a superman, doing superman things..."
Staring at every move of the Mechanical Superman, Jonathan Jr. was also cleaning up the Destroyer. It also happened to be because of the same war zone as Mechanical Superman, and the pressure on Little Jonathan was relatively low. The new batch of Destroyers did not appear in New York together, adding pressure to Mechanical Superman and Little Jonathan.
"Lena, can you hear me over there!"
After little Jonathan gave a reply, Kara also reacted immediately and started calling Lena who was far away in the metropolis.
At the same time, Apocalypse.
The dark new gods such as Darkseid, who are paying close attention to the dynamics on the earth through the sonic boom channel, have also noticed the interference caused by the human-shaped mother box of Cyborg.
"Great Darkseid, I think they have noticed the movement of our pawn, do you need to remind Hank Henshaw?"
Sensing that Cyborg wants to unilaterally close the sonic boom channel, the kind grandma who is Darkseid's right-hand man also gave advice there.
"No, the chess piece is for me to do this, continue to collect data, and don't let these guys idle, send more destroyers, I want my creation to be more perfect and stronger, and soon, the entire earth and everything in the universe will be destroyed. will be mine."
With his hands on his back, and the mysterious confidence that everything is under his control, Darkseid also gave orders there.
No one wants to disobey Darkseid's instructions. And what echoes it is the earth. As Ke Wen, who opened the time-stop field, as the new batch of destroyers enter their own time-stop field from the sonic channel, and the time to adapt and be able to move is getting longer and longer At this time, the load on him at this time is also increasing, and he can perceive that there are more and more destroying demons that can move in the game field where he stops from time to time.
But he can't take the initiative to turn off this time stop, because this is the biggest weapon that the Earth can use to limit the invasion of Apocalypse. If he stops, the situation that is now under control will collapse in an instant. The appearance of biological weapons like Destroyer was too sudden, completely beyond Ke Wen's expectations. At least in the DC information he knew, there was no description of this aspect, not even the ancient records.
This is a powerful and terrifying product based on his own influence on this DC universe.
But at this time, Ke Wen had nothing to do, he could only delay time for Kara and the others as much as possible, so that they could get the mother box from Leticia, thus closing the popping channel.
Just when everyone was entangled by the Destroyer and couldn't go to the metropolis to find out, they noticed that something was wrong before, and Conan and Ke Xue, who came back from the two branches of the future, also split into two groups. Ke Xue went to the metropolis, and Conan, with his mixed Kryptonian physique, rushed to the waters near the International Trade Island for the first time. It was also here that he saw Ke Wen, who was maintaining the time-stop domain, and his father .
"Wow, this is the first time I've seen Dad transform into a Kamen Rider, but as Dad said, all his transformations are not his own, they are all from other knights, this is also, except The static force is something other than my own. I'm sorry dad, you have to stay here for a while, son, I still have things to do."
Relying on his own physical reasons, Conan was not aware of his true identity by Ke Wen. As I said before, Conan's birth came with too many accidents. When he was a baby, he was eroded by the core of Doomsday. It can be said that now Conan is just another Doomsday, a Doomsday with self-awareness, which will be eroded by Doomsday consciousness at any time and become an ultimate biological weapon.
Being sent back to the normal timeline by Ke Wen, the king, also wanted to use the unknown direction of the normal timeline to find a chance for Conan to relieve the abnormality in his body. After all, compared to the branch future of the war-torn Apocalypse War, there are too many things in the normal timeline that have not been destroyed, and there may be a turning point.
Conan didn't know why he was thrown into the normal timeline by Ke Wen, the king, but now that the Destroyer invasion that only occurred in the future of the Apocalypse War branch occurred in this normal timeline, he had to find out the reason. Especially after Conan could feel the difference between these destroyers and his own timeline, he could only say sorry to Ke Wen, his father, and rushed to the International Trade Island.
As a hidden Doomsday, he also has some abilities that Doomsday has, such as the buff to Kryptonian perception. In Conan's perception at this time, on the international free trade island, not only Clark, the native Kryptonian who chose to seal his combat power, but also two Kryptonians he didn't know existed, maybe from them, Conan can find out Doom for different reasons.
Thinking in this way, he also released the leader effect of himself as the Doomsday. Under the order of Apocalypse, several of the Destroyers who were supposed to put pressure on the superheroes on the earth in several international cities also left the team. At this time, the convenience of being able to operate in the time-stop field for a period of time directly killed the international free trade island, and released a heat line of sight on Clark who was in the time-stop state at this time.
Conan is not afraid that the heat vision will hurt Clark. He has the ability to stop it before the heat sight hits Clark, provided that the two Kryptonians lurking beside Clark do not move.
Hidden in the dark, Conan carefully observed General Zod and Fiora who were pretending to be stopped by time. When the heat vision was about to hit Clark, General Zod and Fiora moved away.
The powerful Kryptonian physique allowed them to ignore Ke Wen's time-stop domain restrictions, and easily blocked the attack of the Destroyer, and these destroyers who had left the team were also frozen in the time-stop domain due to time constraints. General Zod was left in a daze as he stared at the frozen destruction demons.
"How is it possible? Why do these monsters have the aura of Daxam stars? Could it be that Daxam's fleet was captured by Apocalypse? This is impossible, it is a fleet, how can Darkseid do it! There is still no movement!"
"General, what should we do now!"
For Zod's gaffe, Fiora was also confused. The reason why they told Clark the truth at the first time was to give the clansman a space to live on the earth, but if the clansman is gone, what is the point of everything they do .
"Now, if you ask me, I don't know what to do, but I know one thing very well, that is, the earth cannot be lost, even if the people on earth are in power, we can still survive if we settle here, but if it is occupied by Apocalypse, Then Krypton really has no chance. We didn’t move before to prevent the mechanical superman from taking action against Kal-El, but now that the mechanical superman has left, we have to help the earth,
At this time, we don't have time to think about what happened to Daxam. Even if our people are really captured by Apocalypse, as far as Daxed's character is concerned, he is not willing to let us Kryptonians be cannon fodder. Compared with the Dakosamians, our Kryptonians have much fewer restrictions, let's go and help them solve this battle! "
Asked by Fiora, the adjutant, General Zod also forced himself to calm down. After a careful analysis, he understood the priority of the matter, and prepared to ask his adjutant to follow him to solve these activities that could be stopped in time. Destroyer for a while.
"But we're leaving Kal-El here?"
"Yes, don't underestimate this guy. Although he has sealed the divine power under the yellow sun, don't forget that he is my best friend, the child of the chief scientist of Krypton, Jo Al. He is as smart as his father, even if he doesn't We, I think he has the means to operate in this environment, it's just not the time for him to make a move."
He took a deep look at Clark. The longer he stayed with Jor-El's intelligence in the Fortress of Solitude, the more Zod understood how dangerous this mortal Clark was. When I was Superman, because of Huang Sun, many problems that required brains to solve were not a problem in front of Superman. The so-called orbital problem was not a problem at all when Superman was.
This has led to many times when Superman is like a fool, leaving all the brainwork to Batman, but with the disappearance of his power, Clark now looks more like Batman than Superman.
Simply explained, General Zod also left the International Free Trade Island with Fiora, and the conversation between the two of them was heard by Conan who was hiding in the dark. Looking at the Destroyer frozen into a sculpture in the sky above, Conan's doubts were also relieved a little.
"The Dakosamians, as my mother said, used to be the brother planet of Krypton. I didn't expect that they would replace the role of Doomsday in this normal timeline, which never appeared in my timeline. No, it should be said that Doomsday has been optimized. In that case, I should be able to help, but I don’t know what’s going on with Ke Xue. Brother, you have to behave like a father and son. Gotta get these monsters out."
After muttering to himself, Conan raised his head and released a shot of heat that crushed the Destroyer. After cutting the Destroyer frozen in the air into several pieces, he followed Zod and Fiora and disappeared. direction to leave. But what he didn't know was that when he left, Clark, who was unable to move in the time-stop field, had been looking at the direction he had hidden before, and the fingers hidden under his sleeve also moved in the time-stop field .
On the other side, in the Metropolis, Lex and Lena, who were fighting with their biological mother Leticia, also climbed out of the collapsed ruins at this time. Around them, there are a new batch of people who can enter the time-stop field. A Destroyer that has been active for a while. The previous explosion came too suddenly. Who would have thought that the mother box in Leticia's hand had just been intercepted. The slogan is directly opening the explosion-sonic channel on the earth.
When Kara realized that the mother box in Leticia's hands was the key, it was too late. Kara and the others were entangled by a new batch of destroyers, and they dared not leave the battlefield at all. Because of Leticia's grasp, the new batch of Destroyers squeezed out of the sonic boom also obeyed Leticia's instructions and began to siege Lex and Lena.
Only relying on a high-tech battle armor and Lena's knight armor, the two brothers and sisters had no choice but to flee for their lives in the face of these destroying demons.
But when there is an end to this kind of escape, facing the new batch of destroyers continuously provided by Apocalypse entering the time-stop domain, the time of activities is getting longer and longer, Lex and Lena can move, and the space for counterattack is getting bigger and bigger. It got smaller and smaller until it was surrounded by a new batch of demons of destruction, and there was no escape.
Leticia, on the other hand, is holding the mother box and controlling these new batches of Destroyer Demons. Looking at the children who have lost their way among the Destroyer Demons, she doesn't feel a little guilty. On the contrary, she is very happy now because she has already thought about it. Next, in Lex, the scene after the death of the Lena brothers and sisters is over.
"The sudden death of children, the salvation of the world by Superman, the establishment of a dynasty, how pleasant it sounds. Lena, my precious daughter, it is time for you to do one last favor for mother~"
While speaking, the instructions were issued immediately, and the Destroyer, which surrounded Lena and Lex, released its heat gaze directly at them, reducing all the space for the two brothers and sisters to escape.
Facing the hot sights emitted from all directions, Lena had no choice but to have no reflective surface around, so she couldn't escape with Lex at all. And all Lex could do was to block his body in front of his sister, even though he knew it wouldn't help. But at this time, something incredible happened.
Flashes of light suddenly appeared in the air, and a series of flashes formed a thick layer of diamond barrier in front of Lena and Lex. The sharp cutting surface and hard structure made the Destroyer's heat sight hit the diamond barrier. The refraction happened directly, and the angle of the thermal line of sight was directly shifted, or canceled each other out, or hit the friendly army. And Lena also took advantage of this short moment to directly lead Lex into the reflecting surface and escape from the encirclement.
The defense of the diamond barrier only persisted for a few seconds. Although it caused trouble for these destroyers, it was still a little weak in the face of the high temperature brought by the heat sight. In an instant, it turned into a crystal clear powder and exploded directly. It's just because of the time-stop domain that these shattered diamond powders condense in the air, reflecting light like stars dotted in the world.
And among the stars, a figure quietly appeared, also responding to what Leticia said just now.
"I think, killing Superman, destroying the apocalypse is more pleasing to the ear, what do you think?"
"who!"
The sudden change made Leticia feel angry, and Lena and Lex, who had escaped from the sky, also noticed the figure standing in their original encirclement. Half brown, half sea blue body, giant right fist, unusually conspicuous belt around the waist, and this familiar color scheme, all made Lena subconsciously reveal the identity of the visitor: "Ke Wen?"
"Ahh, the answer is wrong. I'm just a Kamen Rider passing by, so I don't need you two to remember, but she, and these things, you have to remember me firmly."
Kamen Rider Build (Creation Rider) from the future comes in the form of the God-killing Gorilla Diamond!
