New York.

After the first wave of meteorite attacks, the city was blown to pieces.

After that, although the National Guard and the police came out to maintain order, there were inevitably burning, killing and looting.

Therefore, those who have remained in New York to this day must be careful when they go out, and if possible, they even bring guns.

Yelena is returning from the relief point.

She had just received a few days of food from a federal relief facility and was returning to her apartment.

Despite the fact that most of the residents of that apartment have long since left, they are trying to get out of town by all means.

Unfortunately, there are many residents who think the same way, and as a result, a large number of cars are clogged on the roads out of the city.

People either got out of the car and left the city on foot, or they could only sit in the car and complain.

Yelena didn't go, and now, as long as she raised her head, she could see the super meteorite hanging in the sky.

She felt that there was not much difference between walking and not leaving.

As long as the 'Destroyer' comes, death is only a matter of time, and it is better to live well for the rest of the time.

It's just that she regrets that she didn't say goodbye to her best friend.

It's not early in the morning.

There were few pedestrians on the road, and Yelena looked at the dark apartment on the corner of the street, when a car parked on the side of the road drove up in front of her, and four or five black men got out of it.

"Where are you going, baby?"

"Come and play with us."

Yelena hurriedly turned around to leave, but two black men blocked her way.

She hurriedly put the food she got from the relief point at her feet: "These things are for you." ”

"And the money."

Yelena pulled out her purse and put dozens of dollars on the ground.

Unexpectedly, a black man kicked these things away: "What are you thinking? ”

"I didn't see the 'Destroyer' hanging in the sky, it would fall at any moment, and."

The black man made an explosive gesture: "Bang, everybody's done." ”

"So we don't want money, we just want to have some fun before we die."

A black man pounced on him from behind and hugged Yelena: "Well, you also want to find some happiness before you die." ”

"Then play with us."

Several black men were going to drag Yelena into the alley.

Suddenly, one of them shook.

Then he lowered his head, only to see a hand stabbed in the chest.

When the hand was retracted, the black man's body spun and he fell to the ground.

This sudden turn of events caused the remaining black men to scream, get into the car like rabbits, and rise to their feet.

Yelena was shocked, looked at the figure in front of her and said, "Thank you." ”

The figure took a few steps forward and appeared in the light, but it was a red-haired woman with a beautiful appearance.

Yelena was surprised, "Maeve? How did you end up here? ”

Queen Maeve, who was dressed in civilian clothes, was wiping her hands with the clothes on the corpse, and smiled when she heard this: "The world is over, so, yes, I am unemployed." ”

"You know, I don't have any relatives."

"I only have one friend like you."

"So I thought, before that damn rock in the sky falls, I should come and see you and say goodbye."

A moment later.

Two women appear on the rooftop.

"Give you beer, now that's all I have."

Maeve took a bottle of cold beer from Yelena and looked up at the supermeteorite, which was larger than the moon.

It's so oppressive.

Even on the ground, you don't need tools to see the rolling hills and rifts above.

"Will the Motherland make a move?"

Yelena asked, sitting next to her.

Maeve shook her head: "I don't know, he hasn't been there since three days ago." ”

"No one knows where he is now."

"I think he's probably not going to make a move, but I don't know if he's powerless or if he's not going to make a move."

Yelena whispered, "He's such a bastard. ”

Maeve laughed, "Who's to say it's not." ”

Speaking of which, she felt sour.

Since the Manhattan incident, she thought that she and her homeland had rebuilt the old relationship, and the fact seemed to be moving in this direction.

The Motherland even placed himself in the Ministry of Defense.

For a while, Maeve did enjoy it.

But now, the Destroyer is about to enter the atmosphere, and the man is nowhere to be found.

No matter what he was going to do, it was clear that he didn't care about himself.

So, what am I?

Yelena glanced at her, held her hand and said, "It's okay, you still have me." ”

Maeve shuddered, looked at Yelena, and nodded.

"Mom, look, that thing is bigger than the moon now."

Girl in a yellow suit, lying on a beach chair, looking up at the night sky.

Donna looked at her daughter, sighed, and said, "Anne, I'm sorry. ”

"I've been pushing you to go to various drafts, thinking it's best for you, but I've never asked you if you want to be a superhero."

The girl in yellow is Starlight.

Since the 'Midnight Boil' incident, she has witnessed the tragic death of her teammates such as SuperSonics in front of her eyes.

This is a serious blow to Starlight.

After that, she took a long leave of absence and returned home to recuperate, where she has remained until now.

Listening to her mother's words, Starlight shook Donna's hand and said.

"Don't say that, Mom."

"I know that Daddy's departure is a big blow to you."

"I've always wanted to be your pride and be your pillar."

"So I'm not rejecting the things you arranged for me."

"It's just that I'm probably not fit to be a superhero."

"The last time it happened, I saw that superheroes would have been injured and would have died."

"I'm terrified."

"Mom, I'm really scared."

"Am I letting you down?"

Donna hugged her daughter, shook her head and said, "What are you talking about, silly boy." ”

"You've always been my pride."

She raised her head and looked at the 'Destroyer' in the sky: "I feel very happy to be able to be with you in the last moments." ”

Eden Base.

"Come down quickly."

"I can't wait."

Azu smiled and looked at the super meteorite above his head.

Last night, when Archibald was unwilling to accept Azu's offer.

He was going to start the second plan.

In this plan, Azu will sit idly by and watch the catastrophe.

He wants to watch the Destroyer descend from the sky and purge the earth.

At that time, he will rely on the 'Absolute Domain' to protect the Eden base and the surrounding area, and survive this catastrophe.

When the earth has been cleaned up, the global powers have been reshuffled.

Azu had to use the Eden base, with the help of all kinds of talents and materials contained in advance, as well as the scientific and technological knowledge from the Kryptonians in his mind.

Make this base, this area, the only oasis in the desert of civilization.

As you can imagine.

After the end of the world, there is still a base of Eden with civilization, resources and talents.

It will be a true paradise on earth.

When the time comes, Azu will be able to become a living god on this planet.

All beings will fall to their knees at his feet.

It was precisely because of such a plan that Azu asked Levin to send the president away, and he didn't even want to see the other party.

"Come on."

"Come."

"Then, the planet will be restarted."

NASA.

A staff member was lying on his desk, he was no longer in the mood to work, and now he was just numb waiting for death to come.

But at this time, the computer made some kind of prompt sound.

He raised his head and jerked, his eyes wide open.

Jump up all at once.

Then he tapped the keyboard with both hands, and finally threw the keyboard, hugged his head and said, "This is impossible, this is impossible." ”

He stood up and shouted, "Come and see!" ”

"The computer has detected that the 'Destroyer' is slowing down!"

"It's slowing down!"

One stone stirs up a thousand waves.

"What, that meteorite is slowing down?"

"How is this possible!"

"This is a violation of the laws of physics!"

"Where, I'll see."

Moments later, Director Stephen personally called the president, who was far away in the White House.

"Yes, Mr. President."

"We've just discovered that The Destroyer is already slowing down, albeit at its current speed, still entering the atmosphere."

"But the damage it will bring will be much less than expected, and it may cause a tsunami, but it will not cause a global flood."

"Yes, the catastrophe will be manageable."

"Well, okay, we'll continue to watch closely."

After hanging up the phone, Stephen walked out of the office and shouted into the hall, "Cheer me up, everybody." ”

"Keep an eye on the situation with the Destroyer now."

"Every 5 minutes, report on its speed."

"Also, has its landing point been calculated?"

"Gentlemen, we may have a turnaround."

"So don't be decadent anymore, work! Job! ”

In Stephen's voice, the people of this hall were finally reinvigorated.

They rushed to their respective posts and busily analyzed all kinds of data.

On the big screen, the front part of the 'Destroyer' has begun to enter the atmosphere, and the friction with the atmosphere makes this super meteorite red and shiny.

At this moment, cracks appeared on the surface of the meteorite.

Red light surged out of those cracks, and a moment later, large swaths of red light erupted.

The computer immediately sounds an alarm.

On the big screen, in the computer-built model, it is not difficult to see that the front end of the 'Destroyer' is disintegrating.

Then, the debris formed by the disintegration was ejected out, passing through the atmosphere at a rapid speed, turning into dazzling meteors that roared down to the earth, forests, oceans, and cities!

Eden Base.

Seeing the sparkling flames in the night sky overhead, Azu immediately expanded the 'Absolute Realm', enveloping not only the base, but also the area around the base, equivalent to half of New York.

Huge, ever-spreading diamond-shaped fields of light cut off the sky.

Let a loud sound and roar down, and large and small meteorite swarms cannot enter it.

As soon as they hit the 'Absolute Realm', they exploded to smithereens, making a deafening sound, but had no effect on the things within the realm.

Ryan and Cindy stood together, looking up at the fireballs and smoke that were constantly exploding above the dome, and the two exchanged glances.

"Although I knew he was good, I didn't expect him to be so good."

"You say, when I grow up, can I be as good as him?"

Ryan looked at Cindy expectantly.

Cindy shook her head blankly: "I don't know. ”

"All I know is that it's not human power anymore."

The meteorite rain is non-stop, and they can't smash through the 'Absolute Realm', but when they fall elsewhere, it's an absolute disaster.

Trees topple, forests burn, and animals scramble to escape.

It's in the midst of such chaos.

In one of the craters, a liquid-like mass wriggled and sinisterly hid in the shadows.

When a wild wolf passed nearby in a panic, the mass attached itself to the wolf's body.

Then, it covers the whole body of the wolf, and then the surface assimilates into the wolf's fur.

The wolf stopped, his eyes glowing red, then turned around and sped away in the direction of New York.

In the base shrouded in the 'Absolute Realm', Azu looked up at the sky.

The Destroyer had already begun to enter the atmosphere, and it had already partially passed through the atmosphere, and at this time, a line of information flashed in front of Azu's eyes.

[Disaster events occur.] 】

[Are you willing to deal with this incident?] 】

Azu didn't want to think about it, so he chose to refuse.

He just had to wait for the 'Destroyer' to fall, how could he take the initiative to deal with it.

However, Azu always felt that the super meteorite was a little strange.

I don't know if it's because of friction with the atmosphere, which causes drag.

Azu always felt that the meteorite's speed was slowing down, and the friction with the atmosphere caused its surface to disintegrate and disintegrate into waves of meteor showers.

This causes the Destroyer to shrink in size at a rate visible to the naked eye.

If this continues, I am afraid that it will successfully fall through the atmosphere, and the disaster caused by it may not be as serious as the previous space agency's deduction.

Even if the meteorite rain has caused massive damage to the ground now, it is much less than predicted by the space agency.

Azu frowned, feeling a little uneasy.

Finally, the Destroyer has completely passed through the atmosphere.

It was a super meteorite comparable to a state, and now its whole body was red and shiny, like a huge fireball.

But because the surface is constantly disintegrating and cracking, it has shrunk by a third.

Of course, even so, it is still fatal when it falls.

As the meteorite kept getting closer, Azu's vision could no longer fully contain it.

Only part of it can be seen.

Just as the size of the 'Destroyer' continued to expand in front of Azu.

Azu could already see the inverted stone forests on the super meteorite, the huge deep rifts, and the surface of the supermeteorite that was still crumbling.

But at this time.

Around that super meteorite, a colorful force field suddenly appeared that was visible to the naked eye.

The numerous force fields overlapped each other, like glass, making the 'Destroyer' in the countless force fields look a little blurry.

Meanwhile.

The reddish-glowing meteorite no longer descends.

It just hovered in mid-air!
