Chapter 440 55 Look at Others and Look at You. You Are All Mutants, Why Is There Such a Big Difference?

Chapter 440 55. Look at others and look at you. You are all mutants, why is there such a big gap?

Mason analyzed the situation.

He felt that his most important task at the moment was to quickly rescue Superman's son from the Green Cult of All Things of the Swamp Thing. If something happened to Little Joe, it would be difficult to guarantee that Superman would not go crazy and go to extremes after waking up.

In fact, after confirming that Black Adam and the stars would collude, Mason had to consider the problem from the worst case scenario.

Perhaps this kidnapping was a sinister plot from the beginning.

It would be best if the Justice League could be attracted to kill them in the temple of the Egyptian gods, but if the direct ambush failed, then killing Little Joe to stimulate Superman is not a backup plan.

Obviously, in the eyes of the bad guys, winning a victory by any means is much more important than protecting children's rights.

But this plan was obviously not from the hands of Black Adam or Swamp Thing. The mastermind behind the kidnapping of Superman has not yet fully surfaced, but he is obviously a very smart guy.

A strong enemy!

After Mason finished talking to the old man, he guessed the identity of the guy and walked into the gloomy swamp created by the swamp monster.

It was obvious that there was some mysterious power blocking the communication, making it impossible for him to contact Harley, Zack and Ivy. There was also a layer of strange green fog lingering around the swamp, so he could only rely on his naked eyes and perception to judge what was nearby.

But this trick didn't work on Mason.

Because he had a "special weapon" in this muddy environment.

"Quack"

With a strange splash of mud, Kevin, the drama slime monster, jumped in front of Mason, turned around and changed into Harley's appearance, and asked Mason for a hug.

As a result, he was driven away by the captain with a look of disgust.

"Where are they?"

Mason asked, and Kevin, who was covering his face "sadly", stretched out his hands and pointed in two different directions, representing that Poison Ivy and Zack were in two directions of the swamp.

As a slime monster, it simply likes the swamp environment too much.

Just like Mason can control water sources almost infinitely when he is close to the ocean, in the swamp full of mud, the power and ability of God Kevin are also greatly enhanced.

It has divided itself into several parts and moved in different swamp areas, acting as Mason's "living radar" to monitor what happened in the entire swamp for him.

But this guy has never learned to speak or he prefers to express his meaning with body language. In short, the drama Kevin gestured to Mason everything he saw in the swamp.

"Ivy and Groot were chased by the swamp monster as targets and ran around. Xiao Zha and Harley defeated the members of the Green Cult of All Things on the other side, but still couldn't find the kidnapped Xiao Qiao?"

Mason roughly understood what Kevin wanted to express from his "sign language", and frowned and asked:

"Where is Xiao Qiao? Could he have been sacrificed?"

"Quack"

Kevin shook his head vigorously, and turned around and became Xiao Qiao again.

It had seen photos of Little Joe at Kent Farm, and its imitation was not perfect, but it bent down and scooped up a torn coat in the mud and handed it to Mason with both hands, and then gestured and pretended to run around in the mud.

This time Mason understood, and he raised his eyebrows and said:

"So Little Joe ran away? This is really strange, he should be just an ordinary child, right?"

Kevin shook his head vigorously, widened his eyes and gestured a laser shot from both eyes, correcting Mason that he had just seen Little Joe attack the vines that were infested by swamp monsters with heat rays in the depths of the swamp.

"He awakened the Kryptonian ability under pressure?"

Mason nodded immediately.

But then he reacted, looked at Kevin, and scolded:

"Did you see Little Joe just now? Why didn't you bring him here?"

He thought it was the slime monster playing around.

But in fact, Kevin was also very aggrieved. He wanted to bring Little Joe back to Mason to take credit, but the problem was that the bear child could fly as soon as he awakened his power!

Before Kevin got close, the frightened Superboy took off and plunged deeper into the swamp. At this time, its two mud clones were searching around inside.

Tsk, the naughty kid is the most annoying. I wanted to say hello to him.

——

The perspective turned to Xiao Qiao.

The farm boy was running wildly in the dark swamp in dishevel. He wanted to fly out of this dark place, but on the one hand, his Kryptonian power had just awakened and was sometimes effective and sometimes not.

On the other hand, the terrain created by the swamp monster seemed to have some kind of "no-fly" power. He could only fly to the treetops and be discovered by the surrounding vines.

Those monster plants that emit poisonous gas like snakes are very difficult to deal with. It is not something that a Kryptonian kid like him can deal with.

"It's too dangerous here."

Jonathan Kent was a little tired from running, so he hid by a big tree with his arms folded and panted.

With mud all over his body, he looked around with a little fear, watching any movement around him with vigilance. When he concentrated, his senses would be enhanced, so that this dark place could not cover his eyes. He could even hear the conversations of the cultists a kilometer away.

"There are animated plants, cultists shouting about the power of nature, and bewitched superheroes. And there is a mud monster! The mud monster that can transform into anyone!"

Xiao Qiao thought so.

He remembered the strange mud he encountered on the road after he finally escaped. The latter seemed to want to talk to him, but it chose to turn into Superman, which made Xiao Qiao very alert and ran away immediately.

Dad told him that when he met such a guy, he must use his brain to defeat him!

But Dad.

When Xiao Qiao thought of Clark, his heart tightened. He knew that his father was caught by that strange woman because of him, and was brought here by those wizards who could teleport.

If he hadn't had a quarrel with his father last night and was still wandering outside during dinner, he and his son would not have suffered such a nightmare.

I don't know how Dad is now?

Although he is the most powerful person in the world, these cultists also look very strong.

Maybe I should save him?

Jonathan thought so.

He couldn't help but clench his fists and could feel the huge power coming from his arms.

This power was awakened just before. When those cultists wanted to take him into the swamp to kill him, the fear of death and the pressure of emotions finally awakened the Kryptonian power in his blood.

Fortunately, Aunt Kara had taught him some Kryptonian martial arts before. Of course, that was just for fun, but with the awakened power of Xiao Qiao, even the collision and punching like playing can still knock the weird cultists who merged with the trees to the ground.

"Hu, hu"

The Kryptonian cub hid in the hiding place and took a deep breath. This was the method taught by his mother, who was a "reporter man", to make himself get rid of the chaotic emotions and calm down.

He knew that the whole swamp was looking for him now, and he had to find a way to escape.

But this swamp was like a magic maze.

The terrain here kept changing, and Xiao Qiao couldn't get out by himself, but soon he heard footsteps and fighting sounds in another direction, which made him blink and rush over there quickly.

"Burn! Burn them to death! Ashley, Franklin vomited again! His condition has worsened. Who will watch him? Don't let him vomit on me, damn it!"

Damian's roar echoed in the dim swamp, and then a large piece of flame spewed out from Miss Ironheart's arm flamethrower.

The high-temperature flames easily ignited the cultists of the Church of All Things Green when they came into contact with them. These monsters who used disgusting methods to blend flesh and plants together howled and retreated, but were soon eaten up by the mechanical ants that drilled out of the mud.

"I still think it's a bad idea for us to rush in, Damian."

Jimmy Hautley was guarding the periphery, looking around vigilantly, and then turned back to shout to Damian:

"Our mission is to attract attention. We have done a good job. We should wait outside the capital of Kandak according to the original plan instead of rushing into this place that looks bad at first glance.

We are trapped. This ghost enemy has been changing itself and can't find a way out."

"And Franklin needs help. Look at him now."

The Wasteland Spider Girl was half-kneeling on the ground, and the Ant King Franklin was held in her arms.

The latter's face was pale, especially after driving the ant colony to tear apart the attacking cultists, it was like a shock to his brain, causing him to twitch like an asthma attack.

He kept saying that he was not feeling well before the mission.

At that time, Damian thought that this cunning guy wanted to be lazy, but now it seems that he is not lying. His breathing rate and heartbeat are not very regular.

As the captain, Damian felt the pressure again.

He also regretted his recklessness, which put his team members in danger.

Damian squatted beside Franklin, grabbed the ant king's wrist and injected a potion to treat his injuries, but the problem was that Franklin was not injured at all. He just had a high fever and he couldn't tell where his discomfort came from.

"Maybe some kind of mutation?"

Iron Heart, who burned the remains of the cultists, returned to her companions. She flicked off the visor and activated a biological monitoring program and put it into the ant king's hot ear. The feedback reading made Morgan Stark look solemn.

She said to Damian:

"His intracranial pressure is increasing, and the white blood cells in his blood are increasing, just like the immune system is fighting against some invading foreign body, but it's also like an allergic reaction.

We must send him back to Osborne Tower immediately."

"But there's no way out here."

Damian clenched his fists and said:

"The swamp monster used its own power to shape this swamp, and we are equivalent to being trapped in its body. I've seen in Batman's database that unless the swamp monster's body is defeated, such a magical swamp cannot be broken by external force."

"Damian!"

Jimmy, who was on guard outside, suddenly shouted in the team communication and quietly reported a direction. Damian calmly took out three bat darts from his arms, raised his head and made eye contact with Iron Heart.

Miss Morgan immediately turned on the armor's protection program and nodded to the captain inaudibly.

The next moment, Damian suddenly stood up and hit the bat dart to his side, and then pulled out the kinetic pistol to cooperate with Jimmy's wild charge to fire a wave of fire suppression in that direction.

Tiexin's armor closed, and a missile bay popped out from the back, creating a wave of explosions in the target direction. He then watched Damian and Jimmy rush into the swamp jungle on the left.

Within seconds they were dragging a wretched guy out of the bushes.

"bass"

The famous sword was unsheathed, and the sharp blade was pressed against the struggling Xiao Qiao's neck. Jimmy next to him grinned in pain. One of the bone claws on his left hand was broken in the collision.

This hiding bastard's skin is so hard, like steel!

"Who are you! What are you doing hiding here?"

Damian was still getting angry because of Franklin's strange illness, and he was merciless when he scolded him. The chill radiating from his body made the farm boy Jonathan a little scared.

But just now he saw these young people burning the cultists to death, which made him know that they were not the same as those bad guys, so he said:

"I was kidnapped by them, I didn't mean any harm!"

"Kidnapping?"

Damian was stunned for a moment, and then he immediately reacted and said in a strange tone:

"You are Jonathan Kent? Da Chao's son?"

"Yes, I am."

Xiao Qiao responded immediately, but Damian asked back:

"How do you prove that you are Superman's son?"

"Whoosh"

Xiao Qiao tried to focus on his eyes, and then a short but hot ray of heat burst out of his eyes and ignited a nearby tree.

"Okay, identification confirmed, Jimmy, let him go."

Damian was a little surprised, but he still sheathed the knife.

He didn't expect that he accidentally rescued the rightful owner. Jimmy next to him touched his broken claw sadly, and glanced at the ignorant Xiao Qiao next to him and his outrageous steel body.

He secretly decided in his heart that when he returned, he would have to ask Mason to arrange for him to be infused with Anderman alloy. This feeling of not being able to break through the defense was really too bad for a man.

"We found Xiao Qiao and can retreat. His body of steel can help."

Damian turned around and said to Miss Tiexin:

"Morgan, prepare fire support. Let Xiao Qiao carry Franklin and fly up. You give him fire support to knock down those vines. Have him send Franklin out quickly and call Mason for rescue."

"Look at Franklin!"

Ashley suddenly screamed, and she jumped up from where she was as if she had encountered something scary.

Everyone turned their attention to Franklin lying on the ground, and saw that the mud surrounding the Wasteland Ant King began to twist strangely and shape into a steel creature that looked very much like an ant.

It swallowed Franklin whole, hissed at those around him, and then attacked.

"What the hell is this?"

Tiexin fired three shots at it, not even breaking its skin, so it could only keep retreating. Damian pounced on it immediately, but was quickly knocked away by the latter and was caught by Xiao Qiao with quick eyes and hands. In hand.

Seeing that the Young K team was about to be wiped out by this weird thing, a few balls of mud jumped up nearby and transformed into Superboy and Batman, rushing to stop the steel monster from wreaking havoc.

"Appeared! Mud monster!"

Xiao Qiao screamed strangely, and was about to alert everyone, but Damian shouted to the lump of mud that was being torn apart and reorganized as if he saw hope:

"Kevin! Quick! Get Mason."

"Calling adults when you know you can't deal with it is a good tactic, and isn't I here? What are you shouting for?"

During the water body change, Mason appeared behind Damian with a helpless tone. He glanced at Xiao Qiao, who was unharmed, and then felt relieved.

But then when he looked at the big steel ant that "swallowed" Franklin Richards, his expression immediately became weird.

As a mutant, Mason was very familiar with the thing in front of him that was clearly out of control. It was not the giant ant itself that was transformed from mud into steel, but the power that promoted the transformation of matter.

It is not surprising that such a power that transcends reality and cannot be explained by any scientific theory is placed in mutants.

"Franklin Richards' X-gene has awakened, which is really bad news."

Mason narrowed his eyes and said to the children around him:

"You guys stand back. Mutants in this semi-awakened state are the most dangerous. They will attack everyone around them indiscriminately who makes them feel uncomfortable or threatening.

You can't handle this. "

"Huh? Franklin is still a mutant?"

Damian was stunned when he heard this, and he said suspiciously:

"Didn't you check him before? He is just an ordinary child."

"All mutants are ordinary people when their X-gene is not activated, but who knows what situations they encounter will suddenly explode. Although I am also a mutant, I don't know much about this thing than you do."

He complained.

I thought that I had thought that Franklin Richards, who was picked up from the wasteland, was an inferior version of "Magic Gathering", but now this little bastard had given himself a whole new life, and actually started the mutant awakening quietly. .

Maybe it was because he went to a different world after joining Team K and felt the pressure of growing up?

It is said that stress is also a necessary condition for the awakening of the X gene.

"Kevin, take these children to Zha and Harley, and ask them to go to Ivy to help deal with the swamp monster."

Mason rolled up his sleeves and planned to play on his own, and gave another order to his slime monster.

"etc!"

Damian stretched out his hand to stop:

"I don't think Team K can compete with Swamp Monster. Maybe you should send us out?"

"Trust me, Damian."

Mason pushed up the glasses frame on the bridge of his nose and said to Damian and the young people:

"It's definitely safer for you to confront the swamp monster now than if you continue to stay here."

While he was driving the children of the Young K team to safety, he planned to personally suppress Franklin Richards, who was thinking violently.

But seeing the ant monster in front of him hissing at him made Mason feel a toothache.

If he remembered correctly, Franklin Richards was not only an Omega-level mutant, but also the most dangerous and powerful of all mutants.

His reality distortion can even reach the level of omnipotence, nicknamed "The Shaper of the Universe", which is much more powerful than the crazy Scarlet Witch.

While Mason took out the magic jar of the zombie Scarlet Witch from his arms, he said to the strange ant monster in front of him that Franklin created to protect himself while he was in a coma:

"Let me tell you, young man, you are a big shot who can be brothers with the invincible Uncle Tun. And for the sake of me bringing you back from the wasteland, if you really want to beat me later, remember to do it gently."
