Chapter 594: Goodbye
The fierce battle in New York lasted for more than an hour, and the Justice League and the Avengers resisted stubbornly under the siege of layers of sub-demons and demons. Both civilians and troops have long since withdrawn from the city, and the war of the gods is about to start in New York, and it is no longer a realm for humans to set foot in.
The number of demons is endless, but the physical strength of superheroes is also limited. The shattered demonoid body lay on the ground, and strange and foul-smelling bodily fluids covered the entire block like a river. Superman smashed the heads of the first demons with his iron fist, and at last even he felt tired, not to mention the others. But he knew that he couldn't show it, because if even he fell, it would undoubtedly be a heavy blow to the morale of his comrades.
"Energy remaining 1% ......"
The first time Jarvis's siren went off, Tony was a little annoyed. He gritted his teeth and filled the arc reactor with all the remaining energy and finally spewed a super-ray, and then the armor fell to the ground like a weary warrior, his eyes gradually extinguished.
It's not just his armor, but everyone else is on the verge of limits. Thor's hammer blow was noticeably less powerful than it had been at the beginning, and the Panther's side wasn't as agile as it used to be. Captain America raised his shield to block an energy impact, and even the human shield was shocked into the air, smashing the front window glass of a Chevrolet, and he couldn't get up for a long time. The Flash arrives just in time to save him from the raised claws of another demon, but is then overtaken by another demon's green beam, and the two fall to the ground together.
The heroes are losing. The number of enemies is simply too many and too strong. They have saved the Earth from the brink of destruction countless times, but this time, they will not be able to return to heaven.
No, it's not the time to despair yet.
Like a meteor passing through the sky, dazzling rainbow rays flew down from the sky. It pierced through the thick black clouds with an irresistible momentum and fell straight into the battlefield with a light called hope.
"100% output power...... Charge Complete! ”
The electronic sound sounded at the moment when the light cluster landed, and the domineering and colorful air waves swept close to the ground, and countless stones on the broken street flew into the air, instantly annihilated into slag in the strong light. The circle of sub-demon-like bodies that were closer was disintegrated on the spot, turning into countless particles and drifting away in the wind, without any chance of resistance.
Eric half-crouched to the ground, rainbow-colored metal wings spreading widely, countless light particles hovering around him, like a dreamy elf.
The crowd who should have rejoiced at the sight of reinforcements in such a desperate situation couldn't laugh at this time, because they knew that this would probably be the last battle that would burn Eric's life.
Tony looked at his back and tried to open his mouth to say something, but he only felt that all his emotions were only filled in his throat, and his usually extremely sharp tongue seemed to be knotted at this time, and he couldn't spit out a word.
But Eric had already made up his mind in his heart, and at this moment he had abandoned all hesitation and showed his full strength without reservation. He stepped forward, fearlessly facing the rushing thousands of horses, the armor once again lit up with dazzling rainbow light, the electronic sound of "200% power output" sounded coldly, and the majestic energy filled his colored eyepiece like a burst of water. The heat vision mixed with the energy of countless attributes burst out, as if the reservoir in the sky had burst, and the dark clouds in the sky seemed to fade a little.
The domineering surging flow of light rushed straight into the demon-like array, and several demons hurriedly opened their energy barriers to resist, but they were nothing but nothing under the suppression of absolute power. The stream of light pierced the barrier almost unhindered, disintegrating the array of demons directly in front of it into slag in a negligible instant. Eric then turned his head and swept away, the beam of light moving in unison with his gaze, slashing the demonoid army sideways as if it had carved a deep nick with a sharp knife.
The strafing lasted for more than twenty seconds, and in just twenty seconds, more than half of the astonishing number of demons were swept away, and the rest of the demons were all trembling and stunned, and they didn't dare to come forward like frightened beasts.
The powerful impact shook the crater around Eric himself, and the black smoke billowed up. He was half-kneeling on the ground, gasping for breath with one hand, the colorful light around his body had dimmed for the most part, and he secretly felt strange in his heart about the reaction of this group of demons.
The demons are the mass-produced warriors of the Apocalypse, with near-zero thinking ability and extremely slow emotions, and it seems a little unconvincing to say that they were shocked by the devastating blow they had just struck.
The fear and awe displayed by the demons are more likely to come from the presence of a leader of a higher rank than them.
Sure enough, the space in mid-air was abruptly torn apart, and a golden vortex appeared in the center with a raging hurricane. The slender and graceful figure fell lightly from the golden rays, and the silver white hair was stirred by the wind, like an angel.
Ruth stood in front of Eric in the armor of the Apocalypse Warrior and armed with a bright red sword, surrounded by a deathly aura. Her blue eyes were blinded by a layer of fire, and her sanity was long gone, leaving only a determination that seemed to come from instinct.
Eric looked into her eyes, struggled to her feet, and said, "Ruth......"
But before he could finish his sentence, Ruth's left hand was suddenly raised, and she slapped him in the air, and an invisible fluctuation suddenly hit him in the chest. The force shook him into the air, flying upside down like a marionette pulled by invisible threads, smashing a pedestrian bridge, passing through five or six tall buildings—he couldn't count—and slamming into the middle of Times Square.
Eric felt his breathing become more and more sluggish, not only because of the decline in his condition, which weakened the armor's protective physical field, but also because the further deterioration of his physical condition made it extremely difficult for him to maintain his current form. Ruth chased after him and fell in front of him again, but the rest of the Justice League and the Avengers did not follow, presumably entangled by the remaining demons.
To make matters worse, Ruth's blow was clearly a lot stronger than the last time Eric had encountered Nemesis. Eric noticed a gem that shimmered purple at the hilt of her long sword.
Eric gasped - an Infinity Stone. Darkseid was really generous enough to distribute the Infinity Stones to his men so casually.
Eric stared at her firmly, clenched his fists tightly, and said, "Maybe you can't hear what I'm saying now...... I may be dying. But I made a promise that I would save you from Darkseid's grasp. ”
He paused and sighed softly.
"I owe you, Ruth." He said, "We're really engaged, and if I have the chance, I want to talk to you about our own things and our future with you at the bar, but it's a pity...... But even if it's the last thing I'll do in my life – I promise you that I'll definitely bring you back! ”
