Chapter 337
Chapter 337
The monster that suddenly appeared and rampaged in the center of the metropolis was more difficult to deal with than Diana imagined.
Even though Batman had told her before coming to Metropolis that Superman encountered no ordinary troubles this time, and she was mentally prepared, she was still taken aback when she saw this humanoid monster .
Its appearance has an obvious coldness and ferocity, the instinct and experience of any kind of creature say so——
It is huge in size and infinite in strength, but these two points do not affect his speed at all; its skin presents an extremely thick and rough texture under the sun, and anyone with a little knowledge can easily combine this texture with associated with the word tenacity.
Diana and Hal are both fighters.
Unlike Superman or The Flash, they know how to kill their enemies.
Batman is also good at what they both are good at, but Batman's lore and skill, or so it's a little unflattering, but Batman's hardest work by far is controlling himself.
At first, both Diana and Hal thought they could easily deal with this enemy who came from nowhere, and compared to Wonder Woman, who only knew how to fight, Hal undoubtedly knew how to rescue and appease the people, so Diana became the opponent of this thing without hesitation, and Hal devoted more energy and green light energy to rescue.
Their division of labor was correct, at least for the first few hours of fighting the monstrous creature.
Even Diana has a feeling of handiness when fighting it: when fighting an opponent who is difficult to fight, but is indeed a little weaker than herself, the goddess often feels this way.
However, the most strange thing is this. When hitting its abdominal cavity which is softer than other positions with a fist, when using a mantra lasso to strangle its neck so that it cannot move, when flying And when it rose and fell suddenly, when it was pressed hard into the hard concrete floor...
The sense of disobedience lingered in Diana's heart.
Powerful, dangerous delusions hovered over her head, making her shudder.
Finally, the sixth sense that had saved her countless times also made her fall into hell:
Using power and magic, at the point of exhaustion, the monster that had trapped her for hours crashed to the ground; ambulances and police cars blared their horns, and stretchers weaved through collapsed buildings and yellow vigilantes On the line, reporters poured in with various cameras.
The monster opened its eyes again.
Hal also joined in the second battle. The cooperation between them could not be called a tacit understanding, but at least they did not hold back the opponent.To Diana's surprise, this time her magic attack had no effect on this monster, pure physical collision?Useful a little, but not much.
Death made the monster stronger, and seemed to make it immune to the power that had killed it.
"It has no intelligence, Green Lantern, and that's the only thing we can be thankful for. There seems to be some kind of destructive mechanism in its body, which is dedicated to killing all life around it, and preferentially attacks the stronger individuals among them." During the gap between the monsters, Wonder Woman warned Green Lantern, "Now you have become its main target, and by using its mental defects, we may be able to kill it a second time."
"And then?" Hal asked, "it will wake up again."
"Then find a way to keep it from waking up."
It took them an hour to kill it again, and Diana's combat experience played a big role in the process.
However, the time for the monster to be resurrected again was astonishingly short. Less than half an hour had passed, and the exhausted Wonder Woman and Green Lantern had to face the most powerful enemy they had ever encountered.
"Where's Superman?" Hal yelled.
"I don't know!" replied Diana, "but he must be helping other people in need! Maybe in New York!"
When Superman arrived late, Wonder Woman and Green Lantern felt relieved. Louise, who had always stood by her post throughout the war, also made a surprise voice in front of the TV:
"It's Superman! He's finally here! Maybe we can expect Superman to finally take care of it, even though we already know it can be reborn after death... who knows? That's Superman!"
"He came here to complete the impossible job!"
Distantly, Karl nodded slightly at Diana.
"Leave it to me, Wonder Woman." He said, his voice and eyes were equally stern, but his smile was gentle. "It is my duty to protect Metropolis."
He stared at Doomsday at his feet, and Doomsday seemed to sense the arrival of a powerful enemy. He stopped attacking Diana and Hal, and looked up at Superman.
A purple light climbed along Superman's fingers to his shoulder and merged into his body... With the power of the Power Stone, Superman took a deep breath and rushed towards his enemy without mercy.
The energy he carried as he streaked across the sky was as bright as a flaming meteor even in daylight.
However, Doomsday was only pushed back a few steps by the impact of this attack, and the soles of his feet sank deep into the already messy gravel ground.
Dust turned from gravel was flying around it, and it raised its head again, and Superman hovered in front of it with his chest folded, his red cape as bright as a dance.
A clear image suddenly appeared in its chaotic mind.
And this image will undoubtedly surpass all the lives in its memory, becoming the top priority on its destruction list.
To anyone, the course of this battle seemed extremely difficult.
In the office, Lex lowered his head and wrote the last paragraph.
"When we talk about Superman, we're talking about strength and morality, a perfection that never existed."
When fighting General Zod, Superman also needs to resist the opponent's heat vision and frozen breathing, which are special abilities that Kryptonians will have on Earth, but Doomsday, as a creation also from Krypton, does not seem to have these two abilities.
The strengthening it received is almost entirely based on the body, which also means that Superman and his battles are punched to the flesh every time——
Once again, Superman, who was knocked out of mid-air by Doomsday, was grabbed by it. Superman quickly turned over and tried to break free, but Doomsday's movements were even faster, and before Superman could really use his strength, he was thrown to the ground violently, and again. While Superman was in a daze, he dragged him into the sky.
Its body covered the sunlight like a terrifying cloud.
On the helicopter, Louise, who was shrouded in shadow, covered her mouth, and grabbed the open hatch of the helicopter with her backhand to support her body:
"...God, Superman..."
All the people who watched the battle live widened their eyes, and every audience in front of the TV held their breath.
Diana was lifting a stone slab with broken steel bars, and the firefighters were busy rescuing the wounded trapped under the slab. She couldn't move her hands, so she could only frown and pinch her fingers patiently.
The pillars of green light stabilize the cracked ground to prevent the collapse of the high-rise buildings with damaged foundations. Green Lantern helps the people in line to leave the high-rise buildings while looking up at the sky.
Doomsday let go of his hand in mid-air, and Superman flew backwards like an arrow off the string, and Doomsday, who had stayed in place one second, flashed in front of him in the next second, raising his arms, carrying the thunderbolt Powerful fists hit Superman's head——
In his hands, Superman seemed to have turned into a helpless sandbag, thrown by him and thrown back. This was not a battle, but only one-sided abuse.
"Why did Superman suddenly become so weak?"
I don't know who murmured what everyone was thinking.
"It's not that he's getting weaker, on the contrary, this is the strongest time I've seen him." Wonder Woman said flatly, "It's not that he can't dodge, but he can't avoid these attacks. Monsters don't care Human life and death, if Superman gets out of the way, or unloads, its aftermath would be enough to shatter the ground of an entire city—just as if Superman dodged the bullets that were aimed at him, he might injure innocent people."
Indeed, when Wonder Woman and Green Lantern fought the monster, the damage around them far exceeded the damage caused by Superman fighting the monster.
This does not mean that the monster has restrained or held back when attacking Superman. After all, everyone can see its excitement and concentration when facing Superman.This can only show that Superman did choose to rely more on himself to bear the opponent's strength.
Echoing each other, Green Lantern also said: "He is turning himself into a shield. Don't worry, his situation is not as bad as it seems."
But looking at those people whose eyes were rekindled because of his words, he swallowed the second half of the sentence.
Superman's situation is not as bad as it looks, but it is not as good as imagined.
Lex's pen didn't pause: "But perfection is a lie."
Yes, it's time, it's time to admit.As the person who knows Superman best and is closest to Superman in this world, no one knows more about Superman than him.
How painful it is to admit it, and how pleasant it is.
The truth is, Superman was never perfect.
The helicopter flew a little farther vigilantly, but still kept close to the battle scene. Jimmy swallowed while holding the camera, his heart was shaking like a high-pitched voice, but his arms were as steady as Mount Tai—he doubted that he would have a myocardial infarction even if he was excited Being able to maintain this posture is really a hopeless professional habit.
Under the gaze of countless pairs of eyes, Superman, who had been beaten by the monster for about ten minutes in embarrassment, raised a hand and firmly held the monster's fist.
"Superman is going to feel pain, he's going to get hurt, and he's entirely likely to die."
"But people forget that all the time - and I suspect he often does too."
Superman looked into the monster's eyes calmly, and wiped the blood from his lips with his other hand.
"Enough," he said. "It's my turn."
Doomsday.
Karl has met countless enemies in countless parallel worlds, with various identities and various experiences, but no matter which Doomsday it is, they all have the same label without exception:
The first kills Superman.
Am I going to be killed here?Carl thought, after making sufficient mental preparations, after using the power gem, when making up his mind to defeat it?
His body is full of strength, his spirit is ready to go, he finds it tricky, but orders himself to remain optimistic.
Then he answered himself—with an attack with all his might.
Even the fate that is doomed to happen in every world cannot stop his courage to resist fate.
