Chapter 260 Clayface, Transformation! Atrocitus and Drama

My name is Atrocitus.

On my home planet, I was trained as a psychologist, and I wanted to help people.

I wanted to be a good husband and a good father.

And now none of that can be achieved.

Before that happened, many things seemed to have signs.

My daughter once wanted to tell me about the changes in the mechanical hunters, when I ate meatballs like a fool and commented that the meatballs were a little chewy.

My daughter told us about the way the mechanical hunters looked at us.

That look full of hatred.

And I just touched her head and told her that the mechanical hunters were a group of robots, they had no feelings.

I was wrong, very wrong.

At first it was just some individual cases... A minor named Arnold Kahong violated a traffic control regulation, that is, he had to make the correct hand gesture when crossing the road.

That brought punishment. The mechanical hunters roasted every bone of him.

Then the large-scale massacre began, and the mechanical hunters regarded every living creature on Lute as a criminal who must be killed.

My daughter had warned me about the abnormality a long time ago.

I should have been able to save her.

I failed.

The Sector 666 massacre broke out. My wife, my daughter. One second, they were alive. The next second, they were gone, forever.

Even my daughter's rag doll quickly burned to ash in my hands.

Nothing was left.

Only pain. Only anger.

With the death of my beautiful daughter, something in my heart died with it.

Hope, hope for the future, hope for happiness, hope for the good forces that might exist in the universe... all gone.

Yes, hope is dead. But from that day on, something else existed in its place.

My teammates and I were called the "Turning Five". We have been fighting the Guardians of the Universe for centuries.

I learned the terrible power called blood magic, and my rage gave it focus. Meanwhile, the Guardians sent their mechanical constructs to fight us.

The war lasted for years.

As the number of corpses increased, as more lives were destroyed by the Guardians, my rage grew. Where would my rage stop? How could one person contain such a large amount of rage?

Eventually, we rebels formed the Empire of Tear Star, a magical network connecting several planets.

We had become the greatest threat to the Guardians of the Universe, but my rage was still hungry.

I needed stronger blood magic, more power.

So I deceived another companion of the Five Rebels [Roy Somé].

I lied to her and said that I loved her.

This was a lie, I would never love anyone again. But I needed power, and [Roy Somé] could give me stronger blood magic.

In order to make her believe, I even defiled the sacred words that I had only said to my wife on Lut: [I love you]

My fraud was successful.

Whether she believed my lies or not, our wedding lasted for many days. During those days, I was taught her most terrifying secret: the blood prophecy.

I got the most core inheritance of blood magic as I wished.

Then I felt a change, I knew our dark love had destroyed something else in me... true love.

The very definition of true love was destroyed.

But it didn't matter.

What use was true love to someone who had lost everything?

I made good use of the new power given to me by my demon companion who I didn't love. I killed a cosmic guardian, the first guardian I killed with my own hands.

I drank his death pain and swallowed his doomsday. I assumed that this would ease my rage... but I was wrong, it was not enough.

I looked forward to it, I asked myself, what else could satisfy me?

I made good use of his blood and made my first blood prophecy.

My demon companion, the one who taught me the blood prophecy [Roysome], had warned me that talking to the future was a terrifying thing, but on the day of my first blood prophecy, all the horror burned out from the depths of my soul, of course... the future is not as terrifying as the past.

I saw the future me killing the other four of the five who turned against me, my companions, including the demon partner [Roysome] whom I did not love.

The red dyed with blood and fury, tore apart from the fresh corpses, and burned everyone with hellish hatred.

I don't understand why this happened.

But more dangerous than this prophecy is another one we made later:

"The darkest night covers the sky, the other grows and swallows the dark light, digs out your heart and soul, and kills you, the undead reappears in the black hand!"

I must stop that horrible night when death devours all life. All life in the universe will be destroyed. That is more important than anything else!

William Hand, he is the key to triggering the Blackest Night. As long as the darkness in his heart is erased, I may be able to stop the Blackest Night from coming.

But during this period, the Guardians of the Universe stopped using the Mechanical Hunters because they found a better soldier:

Green Lantern.

The Five Rebellious Gang was defeated, we were imprisoned, and I was forced to terminate the plan to find William Hand to stop the Blackest Night.

But one day, a Green Lantern named Abin Su discovered the prophecy of the Blackest Night. He took me out of the cage, and I came to Earth, but I didn't find William Hand.

The blood prophecy told me that only the meditation mite could help me find him.

So now I work for this magic worm, and we made a deal.

I help him defeat his enemies on this planet, and he brings William Hand to me. It's fair.

I mean, I know that the meditation mite is a bad guy, and I know that Batman and the Justice League are the good guys, but I have to help the bad guys, because only in this way can I get William Hand and stop the Blackest Night.

Compared with the crisis of extinction of all living creatures in the universe, what is the battle between good and evil on a planet?

If the darkness in William Hand's heart is not eliminated and the Blackest Night is not stopped, all creatures in the universe will be extinct. Even if the righteous side on this planet wins, what can it do?

So...

"I'm sorry."

Atrocitus said.

The blood magician rode on the back of the chemical waste monster with some entanglement, carefully controlling the monster not to leak poison gas.

The [Outsider] who cooperated with [Meditation Mite] created many such monsters. From the [Hairy Man] who was constantly hitting the energy shield of Atlantis City at this moment to the [Chemical Waste Monster] who was now riding on his crotch, to the [Giant Ape Titano] that they gave to Gorilla Grodd but was killed by Batman with one punch. The characteristics of these monsters are that they have no brains, but they are very good at fighting. The Chemical Waste Monster is already the one that can understand human words the most.

Boom!

The hairy man roared and punched the magic shield outside Atlantis City with a heavy punch. Then the next second, a blue light flashed, and he was directly teleported to an unknown corner of the universe by the magic teleportation array on the shield.

But Atrocitus was not in a hurry at all. As expected, almost at the same time as the teleportation magic took effect, the colorful halo flashed where the hairy man disappeared, and the hairy man who had just been teleported away by the Atlantis teleportation array was teleported back to the original place by the magic left on him by the meditation mite.

This is a very smart solution. There are so many schools of magic that even a great magician like Meditation Mite cannot understand the counterspells of all the different teleportation magics. If you force yourself to counter, you will only become Black Adam, who is struck by lightning by the weather wizard.

So in this case, let's do the opposite. If I can't counter, I won't counter. I will let you teleport the hairy man away, but I will leave magic on him and teleport him back to his previous position.

You teleported him away, and I teleported him back. The two cancel each other out, doesn't that mean your spell is useless?

Boom!

After being bombarded for dozens of minutes, the magic shields of the outer city of Atlantis around the hairy man finally couldn't hold on. They collapsed and lost their effect. The originally tight defense suddenly broke a big hole, and the hairy man followed the preset route and broke into Atlantis from this hole.

Atrocitus, riding a chemical waste monster, followed closely behind.

Not long after all three of them entered Atlantis, the magic circles finally began to slowly repair themselves, until the repair was completed, as if no one had ever broken in from here.

…

…

…

Atlantis.

Palace.

"Commander Muk. This is Regent Tula."

Regent Tula was standing in front of the communicator at this time. A big bump was visible on her forehead, but Tula had no intention of paying attention to it.

She was talking to the commander on the front line.

"Where is the enemy advancing to?"

"We have seen the target, a big guy."

Commander Muk replied: "Based on its moving speed, the target will reach the wall of the 9th Market within 6 minutes."

"Can the Snow Wave Legion handle it? Or do I need to call the female commander of the fleet, Kakorodo, and her fleet?"

"The fleet can't fire at this big guy in the city." Commander Muk said: "Everything can only rely on..."

Boom!

But before he finished speaking, Regent Tula heard a deafening roar in the communicator.

"The balls of the sea god."

She heard Commander Muk say.

"Muk? Muk? What happened?"

"We have directly caused many fatal injuries to this monster. No matter what it is, it should have died, but there is a shallow beach!"

Commander Muk's voice came from the headset: "This guy is still alive!"

"Can you drag the invading enemy into the water? The water is the specialty of us Atlanteans-"

"It's useless. No matter what kind of monster it is, it is obvious that it doesn't need to breathe!"

Regent Tula heard a soldier shouting next to him: "Holy Abyss, how can this ghost thing still be alive? Our weapons are useless!"

Tula made the right decision: "Call the female commander of the fleet, Kakorodo."

Soon, she connected to the female commander's channel.

"The fleet is in place, Queen Regent, but we dare not fire at full force. The target is in the city, and thousands of people will die."

"Then let's have a precision strike with the proton cannon, a precise attack, now Commander Kakorodo, now!"

"Yes, target locked, proton source charged, fire!"

Soon, a deafening sound came from the communicator.

Regent Tula asked: "Did we succeed? Did we kill him? Did we kill him this time?"

But she heard the voices of the soldiers, which were full of unparalleled despair:

"God of the Sea, he... he is not healing himself, he is adapting to our attack method, we are just making it stronger!"

Tula heard another deafening, inhuman roar from the communicator, mixed with the desperate wails of Atlantis soldiers.

"We are finished!"

It seems that an Atlantean soldier got the communicator in the chaos, and Regent Tula heard him shouting loudly:

"No Atlantean is strong enough to stop this monster, except His Majesty the King! Without the King, we can't stop him--"

"But the land people have planned it. They have kidnapped our king, the Batman. They are in the same group. They want to destroy Atlantis--we are finished!"

The Atlantean soldier was almost desperate.

"Hold on, the Atlanteans can..." Commander Muk just said two words and was beaten away by the hairy man.

He trembled as he looked at Atrocitus who appeared behind the hairy man and the chemical waste monster under his crotch.

"This place is about to be destroyed..."

Atrocitus looked at the terrified Atlantean soldier in front of him and sighed for a long time. He pulled the reins of the chemical waste monster.

The hairy man had broken through the frontal defense of the Atlantean army and rushed directly into the market. Atrocitus followed closely on the chemical waste monster.

He looked at the fleeing crowd.

It's time to release the poison gas... Damn it, all this is to stop the Blackest Night.

Atrocitus hypnotized himself like this.

He knew it was wrong to do so. But the Blackest Night was more important.

It was acceptable to sacrifice the lives of a few people for the lives of more people.

So Atrocitus prepared to take action.

However, the next second, he suddenly saw his wife.

"?"

Atrocitus couldn't believe his eyes.

He stared blankly at his wife's white eyes. The world was shaking. The Atlantean army was organizing a counterattack. They were shouting and roaring, but he had no time to care.

He only saw his wife holding his daughter, standing blankly at the corner of the 9th Market, as vivid as before, as if time and space intersected at that moment, as if they had never turned into ashes under the scorching heat of the mechanical hunter, as if they had just gone out for a long trip, failed to fulfill their promise to return home in time, and had been dragging their feet for a long time, and now finally arrived late.

In an instant, Atrocitus almost shed tears.

He originally thought that his tears had dried up.

At this time, Chen Tao kept the synchronization of the bat wizard, "wearing" the mud face, using magic to maintain the surrounding water flow without completely touching the mud face's body, which felt a bit strange.

Hiss... Even though he was wearing a mud face, it felt too strange to pretend to be a female creature.

He looked at the super girl next to him who was also using the mud face to pretend to be the daughter of Atrocitus. He had to hold her hand to share the effect of the magic on her body.

Fortunately, he had used Sinestro to look up photos of Atrocitus' family from Oa Star...

Next, he had to imitate the other person's wife as closely as possible.
