Chapter 234: The Rock of Eternity
When Red arrived at the scene, it was actually less than three minutes after the communication between him and Black Adam was cut off - at the speed at which he flew here from low earth orbit, to be honest, he didn't deliberately delay time, and he didn't go out of his way to fish.
But even so, when he came to the sky above the park where the incident occurred, he could only see the dimensional crack that had just closed, and Black Adam who was kneeling on the ground and bowing his head.
As for the death knell and Darkseid, they have long since disappeared without a trace.
The Overlord Maiden wanted to get closer to see what was going on, but at that moment, Red suddenly reached out and grabbed her by the shoulders and pulled her back.
"Be careful!"
“ShAZAm!”
A thunderbolt landed where the overlord girl was standing just now, and Black Adam raised his head, but his eyes looked like they had completely lost their will.
"Is it because of the ...... of anti-life programs?"
"No, until the anti-life equation on Wonder Woman's body is recovered, the incomplete anti-life equation in Darkseid's hand may not be able to bring Black Adam's will to its knees."
Red looked at Black Adam, who had become an enemy in front of him, and narrowed his eyes thoughtfully.
"Obviously, for Black Adam, who has the courage of Maihan, to fall so quickly, it must be some kind of stronger, more ancient power."
However, Black Adam obviously didn't intend for Red to continue to explain the Overlord Maiden at a leisurely pace, only to see him let out an angry roar, and then rushed towards Red and them in a package of magic lightning.
But Red still stood motionless in the face of Black Adam, who was rushing towards him, and even looked like he had no intention of making a move.
Shout!
I saw a red light fly out of Red's shoulder and hit Black Adam directly.
"Over to you, Lingxing, let me see how you've grown during this time."
"Meow!!"
The kitten looked full of vitality, surrounded by red light energy, it circled behind Black Adam at an extremely fast speed, opened its mouth and sprayed a scorching torrent of red light energy.
"Woohoo!!"
At this moment, Black Adam looked more like a beast than Lingxing, he angrily waved his fist and wanted to hit the little kitten, but Lingxing was very flexible, easily shuttled and flew in Black Adam's extremely fast fist speed, and also grabbed Black Adam's cheek with his sharp little claws by the way.
Red looked at Lingxing's agile and swift fighting style with satisfaction, it seemed that when he fought in other universes and became stronger, Lingxing was not idle, even if he was fostered by Barbara, he still did not smooth out his fangs.
Although the attack power of the spirit star is not very strong, the damage is not high and the insult is extremely strong, plus the red light energy attached to the spirit star's attack can hinder the self-healing ability from taking effect, which makes Black Adam, who was already a tendon because of being controlled, gradually become more and more irritable.
“ShAZAm!!”
Finally, Black Adam looked like he couldn't hold back because of Spirit Star's harassing attack, and he directly burst out of violent magic lightning all over his body, bombarding Spirit Star from all directions.
"Well done, Lingxing, come back!"
Hearing Red's voice, Lingxing immediately happily accelerated straight in Red's direction, and at the same time, Black Adam's thunderbolt with all his strength followed, as if Lingxing was a cat-shaped lightning rod.
But that's when Red really threw the lightning rod.
Thunderbolt!!
I saw that the space gem in Red's hand suddenly flashed, and then a broken hammer handle appeared in Red's hand, and at the same time, dozens of metal fragments crossed the spirit star and passed by the kitten.
It was a fragment of Mjölnir, and although the hammer was unfortunately destroyed during the battle with Darkseid, its fragment still possessed an amazingly powerful divine power, especially after being amplified by Red's other-dimensional aura.
Black Adam's magic lightning was sucked up by all the fragments of the Meow Meow Hammer, and Black Adam, who saw this scene, was momentarily stunned, but Red did not let go of this opportunity, he made a "wave" gesture while speeding forward.
The moment Red swung the hammer handle, the fragments of Thor's hammer quickly gathered automatically towards the end of the hammer handle, recombining into the appearance of a complete hammer.
Black Adam seemed to sense the danger, and he quickly retreated and tried to rely on Horus's speed to pull away.
But whatever he wanted to do, it was already too late.
Draw your sword and slash through the air!
Black Adam's divine power lightning was uncontrollable like a beast in Mjörnir, but Red didn't intend to control it, he directly released this power completely, and a sword aura with divine power lightning instantly came back to catch up with Black Adam.
Airplanes!
Black Adam instinctively condensed all his strength to resist the sword qi, but at this moment, Red had already jumped up and rushed to his head, smashing the Thunder God's hammer in his hand at his Heavenly Spirit Gai.
Collapse the mountains and crack the ground!
Now Red not only has the combat skills of the Sword Soul, but also regained the fighting skills of the Berserker, and can use all the moves of the two classes at will.
The moment Mjellnir smashed on Black Adam's head, the hammer spread out and disintegrated again, but the magic lightning it had absorbed just now was also completely released, and the violent thunder and lightning completely penetrated the body of its original owner, Black Adam.
However, Red didn't intend to take Black Adam's life, so he was more or less merciful.
After a flash of lightning, the originally burly Black Adam disappeared without a trace, and the one who appeared in mid-air and was in free fall was TesAdam in an old suit.
Whether it's Captain Fantastic, Wonder Girl, or Black Adam, these characters empowered by the wizard Shazam have an Achilles' heel and are forced to switch back into their human form when subjected to a sufficiently strong electric shock.
Of course, the effect of the conversion also depends on its own resistance, such as the mentally tougher Black Adam, who is often more difficult to convert back to his prototype than Billy and Mary.
But this was when he was conscious.
Red grabbed Tess Adam by the back collar and slowly lowered him to the ground, who got down on one knee and took a few deep breaths before looking up with an ugly face.
"You should have killed me, not humiliated me like this."
"Don't be sentimental, Tes, Adam, I don't have time to taunt a stranger, but I need you to do me a small favor."
After Red confirmed that Tess Adam had regained consciousness, he shrugged his shoulders and loosened the collar of his clothes.
"I need you to help me open the way to the Eternal Rock, and I'll finish it next."
Tesadam's face was solemn, and he pondered for almost a minute, but finally shook his head.
"No...... If I summon the power now, I'm likely to lose my sense of self again - and I don't think you're her match......"
"You don't have to worry about this, I'm playing the elite."
Red smiled confidently and haughtily, then crouched down to look at Black Adam.
"As for your question...... I have a solution, would you like to try it? ”
Red then turned his palm upwards towards Black Adam and spread out his right hand.
I saw a glittering red light ring, lying in his hand.
——
The Rock of Eternity.
Deep in a cavern, a woman with long black hair leans against a wall carved with elaborate frescoes, her hands, feet, and body bound by a glittering golden rope that looks immobile.
And in the light of the flickering candlelight on the wall, a figure approached her, judging by the already visibly bulging lower abdomen, a pregnant woman who had been more than eight months pregnant.
"Who is it?! You...... Lois? Are you okay already? ”
The bound woman raised her head suddenly, her eyes that had been heroic now looked very tired and gloomy, and when she saw the pregnant woman in front of her, her eyes were at first surprised, but they were quickly turned into horror.
"No, Louise! Get away from me, or ......"
"It's alright, Diana, I asked Billy just now...... He said that if it was only for a short time, there would be no problem, and that the child had recently become more peaceful for some reason. ”
Bound by the lasso of the mantra is the Wonder Woman, Diana Prince, who has been implanted with an anti-life equation; And the pregnant woman who is gently caressing the top of her head and combing the messy black hair is Superman's lifelong companion, Louise Lane.
"Have you spent all these months here...... Oh my God, Diana, you shouldn't have fallen here, you're the hero who saved humanity countless times—"
Louise looked at the empty caverns around her, her eyes showing intolerance and indignation.
Even if the conditions of the prison are much worse than here, as a place of imprisonment, Arkham can be called a paradise compared to here.
"I deserve it, Louise...... With the blood on my hands, even if I were locked here for the rest of my life, it would not be enough to pay for the sins I had caused. ”
Diana gritted her teeth, her eyes full of pain and struggle, she could now vividly recall the day when she was implanted with an anti-life equation control by her kind grandmother to slaughter countless superheroes because of her carelessness, and she did not intend to forget these memories, but kept recalling them as punishment for herself.
But that's not your real intention! You're being controlled to do those things......"
"No, I know it in my heart, Louise. Why don't they control Clark, they don't control Bruce, they don't control everyone else...... Why did you choose me? The reason is simple, I am the daughter of an Amazon, with the soul of a warrior, and the anti-life equation only unleashes my bloodthirsty desire to kill. ”
Unlike Superman, who has always believed in the goodness of human nature, and Batman, who strictly adheres to the principle of not killing, Diana has been trained as a warrior by Hippolyta since she was a child, and has also participated in wars, and has really killed villains.
However, Louise did not seem to agree with Diana's words.
"Everybody's heart is not completely without shadows, Diana, and the fact that you can face these dark sides is in itself your courage. Don't throw in the towel, Wonder Woman, I'm sure you'll be able to defeat that evil force and return to us. ”
When she heard Louise's encouragement, Diana's face was touched at first, but soon the lasso of mantra on her body lit up with a dazzling light, and Diana's expression was distorted, looking very painful and uncomfortable.
It seems that the anti-life equation in Wonder Woman's body sensed the positive emotions of hope and love, and immediately reacted.
"Diana? Are you alright—"
"Don't come here! I'm fine...... Ahem...... Standing right here, the child in your belly is our hope, no matter what, you can't let me affect him, otherwise there is no point in me locking myself here! ”
A smile erupted into Diana's pale face, looking tenderly at Louise's belly.
"Your child is the offspring of Superman, and I believe that he or she will be the hope of the future of the world...... In that case, it makes sense for me to stay here. ”
Louise looked like she wanted to say something, but suddenly her face changed, and she squatted down in pain while holding her stomach, and after seeing this scene, Diana's expression immediately became nervous, and she didn't even care about the torture she was suffering.
"What's going on, Louise?! It's because I'm ...... Come on, help her, Captain Fantastic! Billy! Come here! ”
At Diana's shout, a golden flash swept into the cavern at high speed from outside.
"What's the situation, what's going on?!"
It was a brawny man who looked exactly like the Captain Fantastic Red had known before, wearing a red bodysuit and a white cape on his tall body, and a huge golden lightning bolt symbol on his chest.
However, although he is an adult on the outside, his inner soul is also a child, and when he sees Louise sitting on the ground with her stomach in her hands, he panics for a while.
"What, what's going on, doesn't it mean that the situation has stabilized...... Tell me, O wisdom of Solomon, what to do. ”
"Get her away from me first, Billy! No matter what, I can't let the anti-life equation in my body affect that child! ”
Under Diana's shouting reminder, Billy hurriedly ran to Louise's side to help her up, but at this moment, a blood-red shockwave burst out from Louise's body, bouncing Billy away.
"What the hell is this...... But it didn't hurt Miss Louise? ”
In addition to Billy, Diana was also stunned to look at Louise, but the latter's shock was obviously different from Captain Fantastic.
"This power looks like ...... The man's—"
"I, I...... I'm fine. ”
Louise, on the other hand, gasped for breath and stood up from the ground as she stroked her belly in confusion.
"The kid wasn't trying to hurt me...... I felt like the kid was ...... Remind me the same? Say that some powerful evil force is coming......"
"Interesting, Superman's child was able to feel me when he was still in the fetus?"
Hearing this low and hoarse voice, Billy Batson's face changed, and he immediately blocked in front of Louise and Diana.
"Who is it?"
"Don't be nervous...... I'm just here to take back what belongs to me—"
"It's time to return the anti-life equation to its rightful owner."
