Chapter 146: The Mother Box Changes
"First of all, the question of why the Beyonder didn't come with me.
He likes to be alone and doesn't like the occasion. ”
Clark muttered, David had only appeared in public a few times, and much later than him, but it seemed that his popularity was not inferior to him at all, and even people were more curious and interested in the mysterious David.
He smiled and answered their questions one by one as his eyes lit up and expecting him to give him big news.
"My suit, it's my home planet's technology, and to be honest, I don't know much about it."
"Home planet?"
A reporter grabbed the key word and couldn't wait to ask excitedly.
"Superman, are you admitting that you're an alien?
And what about the Beyond! ”
The statement that Superman is an alien has basically become a consensus after experiencing Zod's attack on Metropolis, but it is still different to listen to the person concerned admit it himself.
"Not bad.
It's true that I wasn't born on this planet, but Beyonder is not like me, he's not an alien. ”
Clark replied.
He has a sunny smile on his face, and he basically answers all questions.
In fact, that's exactly what he's here today, to answer questions about him and David.
"Who is the Beyonder, is he a Met?
God, I'm not going to rub shoulders with him on the street! ”
Below, there are fanatical citizens like Beonyond, who are so excited that they can't help themselves and scream loudly.
Clark pretended not to hear and couldn't give an answer, who he and David were, which was too much related to the real identities of the two.
"The metropolis says big and big, and it is not big or big, and according to some specific conditions, it is not difficult to find a family."
Clark continued.
"About what purpose I came to Earth.
All I can tell you is that I was launched to Earth by my parents in order to escape the natural disaster, while I was still in the cradle.
I grew up on this planet and breathed the same air as you. ”
He stared at everyone in the audience with a serious expression, and his alien identity brought him a lot of hostility and defense.
"What you see is who I am, and I'm not much different from you.
I will try my best to help others, and when they are in danger and unable to do anything, I hope that my presence will bring a ray of light to them. ”
Finally, when he finished what he had been trying to say all this time, he exhaled deeply, and a hint of cunning flashed under his eyes.
"About when the Beyonder and I met.
All I can say is that we grew up together sooner than you might think. ”
He played a little trick on his words to give the impression that he and David were childhood friends, but he wasn't lying, but the relationship was much more intimate than that.
"Growing up together.
Two gifted kids?
The transcendent must have been very lonely when he was a child, did you make a friendship because of the same special and loneliness?! ”
Clark answered some questions, but the curiosity never ended, and people had more questions, and one by one the microphones came forward, which made him a little overwhelmed, and he saw a beautiful and heroic female reporter in the crowd, slightly embarrassed, being squeezed around by the crowd.
At this time, the name of a journalist cannot make his peers humble in the face of big news.
"One last question.
I would like to ask the lady to answer. ”
With his hands pressed down to signal the reporters to be quiet, Clark reached out and smiled at her.
Louise Lane squeezed away the two people next to her, she opened her mouth to ask, but suddenly found that the heavyweight question she wanted to ask had already been asked by her peers, she stared at Clark's face, observed the next two times and asked.
"Superman?
I don't think anyone else has asked this question yet.
Have you ever felt powerless in the process of saving the world? ”
Clark smiled and fell silent, looking at the sun that radiated and empowered him.
"As a child, I was always afraid of hurting others, the world was as fragile as a bubble to me, and I was even afraid of my own strength.
But the many powerful enemies in the universe who are full of malice towards the earth and humanity have shown me that my power is not enough. ”
He remembered the scene where David and Brainiac fought and defeated Brainiac, and his voice was serious and full of determination.
"But I will try to be stronger and use this power to protect you.
Hopefully, the next time a powerful enemy from the stars comes, I'll be stronger and ready.
Hopefully, when the Beyonder faces a strong enemy, I can no longer just watch from the sidelines. ”
……
"What's the matter with me?"
On Paradise Island, David flew back to the island and landed in the royal palace when an anxious Hippolyta greeted Diana.
The last time he left Paradise Island, he left behind his mobile phone, and Hippolyta, who was a little resistant to new technology, now let her daughter contact him on her mobile phone.
"As the former queen of the Amazon, it is probably not a trivial matter to bow your head to me for help."
As for what it was, David's eyes flashed with conjecture.
He already had some predictions.
What is it that will make Atlantis and Paradise Island call him at the same time?
"One thing that the gods had left on Paradise Island moved.
It was an item that once came from an enemy outside the sky. ”
Hippolyta quickly led David to a fort on the edge of the sea cliff of Paradise Island, which was usually designated as a forbidden area, and told David, hoping that the usually frivolous Amazon king would realize the seriousness of the matter.
Diana followed, and she only revealed some of these things to her mother after she noticed that the object was unusual.
"Sure enough, it's the mother box that has changed......
David's eyes moved, signaling that he was listening.
Only the extraterrestrial invaders that were barely repelled by uniting all the forces of the earth back then would make this queen so close to the enemy.
"Millions of years ago, a group of extraterrestrial enemies invaded and wanted to destroy the world.
The gods united with the Amazons, the Atlanteans, and the Beacon of the Universe to defeat the enemy.
The enemies wanted to use the weapons that destroyed the world and were captured by the gods. ”
Buzzing!
As Hippolyta narrates, she comes to the inside of the fortress made of huge stones, and on the stone platform in the center, a box made of steel is constantly humming and vibrating, as if it is connected with something.
"There are three identical parts of this weapon."
Along the way, the Amazons on guard bowed to David, who waved them up and looked at the box.
The molten iron box had been shaken out of the cracks, and a white lightning light leaked out of it, and the mother box from the Fourth World Apocalypse Star was shaking restlessly, communicating with their former owner.
Through the gap, David peered at the dark silver mother box.
The ability to manipulate energy allowed him to clearly feel what terrifying energy was contained in the boxy box in front of him, which was only a few tens of centimeters square, faintly making him feel the aura of danger.
"The combined energy of the three mother boxes, if it bursts out and destroys the planet, I'm afraid it will only take a moment!"
Even he wasn't sure he would survive such a terrifying energy.
"Three boxes, one handed over by the gods to us Amazons, humans and Atlanteans for safekeeping.
I don't know why it woke up all of a sudden.
But the other two mother boxes may also be moving, I don't know if humans and Amazons are aware of it. ”
Looking at the box, Hippolyta was worried.
She had personally participated in that great war, and knew the horror of that group of enemies from beyond the sky, and according to Zeus, the once young invader had become a dark monarch who made countless worlds and even the universe tremble.
If it weren't for the loss of the mother box, the recorded cosmic coordinates would have been lost, and the earth would have been destroyed long ago.
I still remember that when Zeus talked about the leader of the extraterrestrial enemy who was almost killed by Ares, his eyes inadvertently showed jealousy and even fear.
"Atlantis, like you, has a history that has not been broken even though it has been passed down for countless years.
They have noticed the movement of the mother box and are deeply disturbed. ”
David glanced at the lamp ring and replied.
"How do you know?"
Diana wondered.
"Because I became the king of Atlantis not long after I became the queen of the Amazons."
He replied simply and clearly, and the mother and daughter were stunned, and looked at each other, wondering if they had heard something wrong.
Ignoring the two of them who were confused, David reached out and touched the mother box.
He wanted to see if he could absorb the energy of the Mother Box, so that the Mother Box would no longer be a threat, and cut off the possibility of the Dark Monarch setting his sights on Earth.
"Be careful!"
Hippolyta's face changed dramatically, and she stretched out her hand to stop her.
Didn't she already say that this is part of a terror weapon capable of destroying the world, how could this guy still be so casual.
"It's in a precarious state of activity.
Your touch may provoke its attack. ”
But in the next second, a stunned scene happened.
David stroked the mother box, and the mother box suddenly stopped vibrating like a frightened rabbit, pretending to be a dead thing, and the light on the surface dissipated.
"It's been shaking for a day, it's ......"
Hippolyta was stunned, looking between David and the motherbox.
"What's wrong with it?"
She has a feeling that the mother box is jealous of the man in front of her.
The Apocalypse's highest-tech mother box converged all the energy, and David didn't absorb anything, and withdrew his palm in disappointment.
"I'm afraid this mother box itself has a lot of intelligence."
I remember that in the original plot, after the mother box woke up and discovered Clarke's existence, it remained hidden until the destruction day created by Clark and Luther came to an end, and it contacted the Apocalypse Star, so that Steppenwolf came.
However, it does not know that its original owner, Darkseid, is no longer what it used to be, and has grown up from a childhood equivalent to eight years old for millions of years, and has acquired the Omega effect, and its power has skyrocketed, and it has become a dark tyrant who threatens the universe according to its destiny.
"If it doesn't shake anymore, does that mean things have subsided?"
After a mental shock, Hippolyta frowned.
"It's not that simple."
David shook his head.
"It's just that it's marked as an unsuitable place to come."
Although the three mother boxes can only burst out with the strongest power when they are one, they also have all kinds of incredible energy when they are separated, such as opening the popping channel across the universe, allowing the Apocalypse Star army to descend on the earth in a steady stream.
There are three mother boxes, which means that there are three locations to choose from.
"The mother box originally fell silent after waking up, instead of moving like this, which indicates that it has begun to contact the Apocalypse Star and summon a large army to descend.
Everything is different from the original? ”
David frowned.
"Advent?
Are those extraterrestrial enemies going to invade this world again? ”
Diana frowned, a hint of war rising in her eyes.
Paradise Island is also a part of the world, she has left Paradise Island, although the country she went to, it seems to be divided and war, but she also sees a lot of things in the human world that are worth protecting.
Like those poor innocent children.
Hippolyta was not as optimistic as her own daughter, and her brows were furrowed.
"The world is about to be destroyed."
Even if the gods are still there, can they unite the forces of all parties to repel the enemy from beyond the sky once again?
I'm afraid it won't work.
Moreover, it is now a time when the gods are gone.
She shook her head and looked up at David.
If David is really also the King of Atlanty, listening to what he said last time he came back, he had 'contact' with the Green Lantern Legion, and seems to be the best person to unite the forces of all parties in the world today, but she is not optimistic that David can surpass Zeus and lead the power of the earth to repel the dark monarch who has become ten thousand times more terrifying.
"I'm going to take this box.
It has become a source of evil, and it is not good to stay on Paradise Island. ”
After thinking about it, David manipulated gravity to grab the mother box in the air.
Although the Amazons are strong, there is still too much distance from Darkseid's Apocalypse Star Demon Army.
In the original plot, not long after Steppenwolf led the demon army to arrive, he killed the Amazons in all strips.
Although he made this mother box afraid, he couldn't stay here next, who knows if the mother box would start to contact the Apocalypse Star army again after he left.
"Where are you going to take it?"
Although it was something that the gods had told to protect, but now that the king of the Amazon had changed, she had no right to decide, Hippolyta just asked.
"It seems a little scared of you.
If you find three boxes and keep them by your side all the time, will they never be contacted again? ”
As she walked outside, Diana thought it was a solution.
Walking out of the fortress built on the edge of the sea cliff, the waves crashing against the dark sea cliffs, David smelled the smell of sea in the air, looked at the gloomy and cloudy sky in the distance, felt a storm coming, shook his head and didn't say more.
"Why has this box not changed for millions of years, and suddenly it has become like this?" A cloud hung over Hippolyta's brow.
David knew why the mother box was moving.
In the original plot, because Clark appeared in the limelight, governments around the world began to pay attention to something related to aliens, and an item that was accidentally seized from World War II and judged to be related to aliens was turned over and handed over to Steelbone's father for research.
That thing is the mother box, after a car accident after Cyborg played a football game, Cyborg's father bombarded the mother box with energy rays in order to keep his son alive, thus activating the mother box, and the gears of fate began to turn.
His appearance with Clark doesn't change that.
But what David is puzzled about is that Clark is not dead now, although he is not as strong as the original timeline, but there is also an additional self that is not weaker than Clark or even stronger than Clark at that time, why did the mother box start to contact Apocalypse?
"Did I change something that caused all this?"
