Chapter 112: The Brave and Fearless
In the extreme depths of the universe, under the boundless starry sky, inside the huge skeleton spaceship.
Brainiac sat on his throne, metal tentacles attached to his brain, connecting him to his kingdom.
In the endless stream of data, countless possible futures, like pawns on a chessboard, are repeatedly deduced by Brainiac's enormous computing power.
"Analyzing...... Analyzing ......"
"The success rate of sample collection: 32.1%, which is too low."
"After analysis, the following three people are responsible for the variables."
"1. Superman."
"2. Batman."
"3. Lex Luthor."
Brainiac opened his eyes.
Countless streams of data flashed through his indifferent, non-creature eyes, enough to blow up all the top servers on Earth, but they weren't worth mentioning to Brainiac.
He even has the ability to distract himself.
"Re-establish the analytical model. Analyzing...... Analysis of Darkseid is ongoing. Calculating: The time of the destruction of the earth. β
"Establish comparisons. The most successful and most suitable time to collect samples is being analyzed; Specimen Collection Target: Metropolis. β
"It is important to note that every effort should be made to avoid conflict with Darkseid. This precondition has been added. β
"Additional Gathering Targets: Superman, Batman, Lex Luthor, Parasite."
"In the process of improving: the Earth Civilization Conservation Program. Started. β
Brainiac nodded, and a stereoscopic image of General Zod and Black Zero appeared in front of him.
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
"What's that, Major?"
General Sam Lane sat in the main seat of the command room, surrounded by busy scientists and heavily armed soldiers.
His expression was serious, and his slightly white sideburns reflected his black hair, but the slightly trembling fingers on the armrests showed that he was not so calm.
His mind was back and forth about his daughter, Louis Lane, who was known as Fiora and asked her to follow the alien called Superman to Black Zero.
At that moment, as a father, he was ready to directly refuse the aliens' request, and then lead all the American soldiers and Kryptonians to war on the spot.
But his daughter left, leaving without hesitation, following the big boy scout in red and blue.
It's all to blame on Superman!
Well, General Lane knew it was just an incompetent rage and an outright gratuitous transfer of hatred. His rationality is well aware of this, but sensibility and rationality are always two different things.
His subordinate's voice interrupted his recollection, and he immediately reverted back to the iron-blooded general.
"An enemy plane has been detected, launched from an alien spaceship!"
"Screen display."
"Yes, sir."
"Take Radio 4 and get closer."
General Sam Lane raised the phone: "Command, today's code is Trident. There's an alien spacecraft approaching. β
"Radio 4 has been connected."
"How fast?"
"380 nautical miles, coming into the skies over Kansas, they seem to be wandering back and forth looking for something!"
"They won't respond to us!"
General Sam Lane was silent.
"I'm sorry, colleagues." "The worst happens," he said. Even though we have surrendered Superman, the aliens still refuse to leave Earth immediately. β
"I believe I'm afraid this fight is inevitable. The President has given me the authority to fight back in the event of an alien invasion of Earth. So I may have to announce. β
He turned to look at everyone in the hall.
"We're going to war with aliens."
He knew exactly what he was talking about, and he knew what the consequences would be.
Louis Lane, his favorite daughter, is on the Kryptonian ship at this time.
If he just does what the president does, he will most likely ...... Never to see his daughter again.
Yes.
General Ryan told himself over and over again that he felt his limbs tremble, his mind cold, and the tremendous emotions that surged through his body, crushing him and burying him in bottomless darkness.
But he repeated his command anyway.
"Your Excellency, General, but your daughter ......"
"I say, do my ordersβdon't you hear? Start the fighter! Tank! Gunship! Launch an attack!! With missiles! With bombs! With artillery! β
General Sam Lane's voice trembled: "Didn't you hear my orders? Soldier? β
Colonel Hardy bowed his head: "Yes, General!" β
"There are countless people who have given their lives for our country." General Ryan whispered, as if telling everyone present, and as if he was hypnotizing himself, his voice gradually stopped shaking.
"They're all other people's children. If other people's children can die, then so can my children. Louis is already an adult, and she can take responsibility for her own choices. β
"So...... Attack! In the name of the United States, strike at the enemy! β
When he finished saying this, his body shook visibly, and General Ryan pushed away Colonel Hardy, who tried to come up to support him, and then pointed to his nose: "You personally lead the team, fire coverage, Colonel Hardy, we will use the highest level of attack to send this group of aliens directly to hell!" β
He opened his mouth and felt his soul howl in the white night without light, but not half a tear came out of his eyes.
"Attack them! This is my order to you...... Go attack them! β
At this moment, another non-commissioned officer hurriedly walked into the control room and whispered in General Lane's ear: "Your Excellency, General, there is a colonel who wants to see you, and he is waiting outside now-"
"No, what the hell?" General Lane said, "Let them go, we are now dealing with an interstellar crisis. β
"But he brought the president's orderβ"
"What are you doing-"
"You can't go in - presidential order? Forehead...... But even that can't-"
There was a cacophony of voices from the microphone in front of General Ryan, and then there was a question from the guards outside: "Your Excellency, there is a colonel here who claims to have the president's order, can we let them in?" Now they want to break in, do they fight back? β
General Ryan looked at the non-commissioned officer next to him. The non-commissioned officer immediately replied:
"There's no problem with the identity, I've verified it."
General Ryan nodded, "Let them in." β
Then he turned to Colonel Hardy and said, "What are you doing in a daze?" Get ready for battle! β
"Yes!"
Colonel Hardy saluted and turned to leave.
General Ryan turned around and stared at the two alien ships on the screen in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking.
A few minutes later, the door behind him opened.
General Ryan turned his head to see a tall, muscular blonde man walking in, followed by several FBI black-clad agents.
"Your Excellency General Lane, I'm U.S. Air Force Colonel Steve Trevor." Steve walked into the room and held out his hand to General Ryan, who was sitting there.
But General Lane did not shake his hand.
"What's the matter?"
"Don't waste each other's time," he said. β
Steve frowned, but didn't care about General Lane's attitude as if he had eaten gunpowder.
He pointed to a black fat aunt beside him, who was fat like a black sow standing up, but wearing an FBI uniform.
This ugly look made General Lane look her up and down.
Generally speaking, someone with this appearance should be in the slums or the cleaning and sanitation bureau, not in the middle of a group of FBIs.
"I'm Amanda Waller. An agent, it's a pleasure to meet you. Your Excellency, General. β
Amanda did not mention her specific role. She smiled harmlessly, and really looked like an aunt who worked as a salesperson in a supermarket.
Steve says:
"Your Excellency, a hologram conference is waiting for you. Mr. President and the many members of the legislature would like to discuss the issue of aliens with you, as well as President Luthor of the Lex Groupβ"
He leaned into General Lane's ear, "They're anxiously waiting for you to explain the situation to them. At the same time, we are debating whether or not to release the Parasite to deal with this threat. β
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
At this time, Kent Farm was more than a dozen kilometers away.
Chen Tao appeared safely on an invisible bat plane, with Alfred standing next to him.
This is a heavier batplane, more of a small, moving air fortress than an airplane. Since the plane is only hovering, it can be done by the AI, which also allows Alfred to guard the place.
At this time, Chen Tao was sitting in front of the computer, most of his body had turned into a real car, only the upper body neck and thighs still maintained the human form, but this made him even more weird, a human head was directly glued to the hood of the car, and the two wheels behind were replaced by two hairy legs.
Fortunately, the cabin of this aircraft is large enough, and even if most of the body has been turned into a car, there is no need to worry about not being able to fit in.
At this time, Chen Tao is using a wire to connect himself to the bat computer. Frankly speaking, the computing power of the Batmobile is so poor that even with the assistance of the nanobots of the Broken Bat, it is almost impossible to hack directly into Black Zero.
Even magic has to be reasonable, and people can do everything in a hurry, except for math problems. If you can't keep up with the computing power, you can't keep up, after all, it's only an F-level Batman, how strong can you expect him to be?
Now he is facing the situation of Black Zero, it is like encountering a film of steel, obviously he looks weak, and he knows the weakness, but he has no ability to poke into it.
But the problem is that he doesn't need to hack in. Superman takes the master key, allowing an artificial intelligence based on his biological father, Joe Al, to successfully invade Black Zero.
So, he just had to put his own in it now.
The old butler looked at Batman, who looked more and more inhuman, and his expression was a little complicated.
"Hoo ......"
Chen Tao let out a sigh of relief, and his metal body deformed and returned to flesh and blood.
He walked over to the old butler's side: "What's the matter, Alfred, so stunned?" What are you thinking? β
"Ah, nothing." The old housekeeper smiled: "I'm just thinking about where we can go to play when we retire in the future." β
"Anywhere." Chen Tao opened a bottle of drink from the cabinet, and then poured a glass by himself: "Anyway, I have gradually retreated from the front-line battle now." When I give Superman another hand and put his superhero career on the right track, we'll really retire. β
Then Chen Tao lowered his eyebrows and muttered in an imperceptible voice: "Hell, Brainiac." β
"What do you say, sir?"
"Nothing." He raised his glass: "To retirement!" β
Boom!
As soon as Chen Tao raised his glass, there was a loud bang on the screen.
"Youβhow dare youβkillβmy mother!!!"
"Tut-tut......" Chen Tao looked at the angry Superman on the screen, and couldn't help but sigh. This is an image from a private satellite of the Wayne Group.
"It really doesn't matter if you use a clay mask to deceive Superman like this?"
Alfred walked up and looked at the image with him: "Poor boy, he must be heartbroken. β
"If I hadn't deceived Superman with a clay mask, Superman might not be able to beat these Kryptoniters."
Chen Tao looked at the image from the satellite on the screen: the thunderous Superman kicked Eck, another Kryptonian man other than Zod, and flew out upside down, he picked up a broken steel beam and swung it into the middle of Eck's ***.
The place where they fought had flown several kilometers and was fighting in the middle of a small town.
At this time, Superman seemed to have the upper hand, and single-handedly pressed the big guys Ek and General Zod.
"After all, as I've said before, a farmer in Kansas hasn't fought a few times in his life. The gap between him and General Zod was by no means something that could be made up by a few indiscriminate tricks that he had learned in a few days. β
"Stink bombs and bad breath potions might be a good idea, but they'll have to wait until his mask is taken off."
On the screen, Superman grabs the hunky Ek's ankle with his bare hands and plows him on the ground, only to be stomped on the back of the head from behind by General Zod.
"All in all, I'm sorry Clark lied to him like this, but I have to provoke his anger so that he can fight more than three or more Kryptonians at the same time." Chen Tao said: "When the matter is over, I will personally put on the resurrection armor of his own mother, but now I ......"
"Our Superman needs a little rage buff." Chen Tao said: "He now needs a bold heart that can burst out the power of his iron body for the time being. β
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
"This seems to me to be utter madness." Jason said with some bitterness: "What are the benefits of mixing in the battle against the Kryptonians at this time?" β
Their rented van was parked on the side of the road a few kilometres from Kent Farm.
"The Batplane signal you found is around here, right?"
Ms. Siwa did not answer him directly.
"Yes, that's right, but that doesn't mean ......"
But Jason didn't have time to finish his sentence, and then he and Siva watched a sci-fi Krypton spaceship pass over their heads and land in the distance.
"It does mean enemies." Siva pursed her lips.
"Jason, get out of the car."
The red hood Jason wanted to say something, and then he felt that he had been kicked out of the driver's seat by the other party, and he didn't even have the power to resist.
This is a crushing gap in martial arts skills.
"Hey, you ......"
"It's dangerous there, little Jason, and you'd better not mix it."
Jason couldn't hold back any longer: "Danger? Aren't you dangerous? Siva-sensei, according to my calculations, even more venom is impossible...... You don't have to ...... at all."
But he could not say any more, for he saw the eyes of Lady Siva, and the light in them pierced him from opening them.
"No, you still don't understand? Jason? β
"It's a challenge, a challenge. And I'm the strongest human on this planet, and I was born to fight, and it's not that I don't want to retreat, butβ"
Siwa sat in the driver's seat, raised his lips, and laughed silently maniacally.
Jason just stood in the sun, watching the world's strongest mortal drive a dilapidated van and embark on her destined journey:
"Gambling on the dignity of human beings, gambling on the reputation of martial artists, I must not retreat here!"
"Because, I'm the strongest in the world!"
