Chapter 82: Machine Frenzy
"Carl El, the last son of Krypton.
Kara Zor Aire, the last daughter of Krypton.
My name is 'Brainac'. A collector, and a conqueror. ”
Although Brainiac says so, the word "last" is actually a bit exaggerated. may only be the time when the superman image is born, he can be regarded as the "last son" of the eight classics. However, as the story progresses, Superman's seven aunts and eight aunts come to life one after another, and in the end, they simply move out of the entire Kryptonian city...... Oh, and even their cats and dogs.
Lao Bu named Superman and Supergirl one by one as if announcing the names of the dishes, but when his eyes swept to Shen You, he was stuck. After a moment, he said in a deep voice.
"You...... Once again, you have exceeded my expectations. I still haven't been able to find a match from the database of any known galaxy, and your life form is very different from the known species in the database, a certain energy state of life, but it can freely conjure powerful entities......"
The skull's eyes flashed in the interface, as if showing interest.
"I originally came here just for Earth and the Kryptonians. But now, you're starting to become my primary target. ”
"I want to say it's an honor." Shen You spoke while Pal had already started to try to track it down again, "In that case, why don't you come here face to face and come here in person?" So we can talk about it. ”
"There's no need for that." "We'll meet eventually, but not now," Blainiac said calmly. ”
After a pause, the light in the skull's eyes went out, and his voice seemed to be a little muffled.
"Humans are really unreliable. I knew I couldn't believe that their simple brain structure was capable of doing anything......
...... But it doesn't matter. You've discovered my connection with Lex Luthor and disrupted my plans. But this is nothing more than forcing me to make adjustments to my original plan, let's say...... Advance your schedule a little bit in advance. ”
Shen You raised his palm abruptly, and a shot shot shot out to the right. The chest of a black skeletal machine exploded, metal shards and electric sparks flying. The robot's eyes darkened, and its body fell to the ground.
But that's just the beginning.
More and more green light lit up, and the black armor shimmered with the cold light of the forest. Skeletal machines emerged from all directions, enveloping the trio in the middle.
"World Collection...... Initiate. ”
The screen goes off.
All the robots stepped forward in unison, raised the energy cannon on their arms, and spat out the same words in a slurred and neat mouth.
"Collect...... Archiving ......"
"Collect...... Archiving ......"
The same scene is happening not only in Lex Industries, but also throughout the city.
A rumbling movement plunged a factory into total chaos. The huge robotic arm went into action like crazy, and all the metal devices came to life as if they were coming to life, closely working with each other's rotation and movement, assembling them quickly and with astonishing efficiency.
"The equipment is out of control! They don't listen to ......."
Workers ran through the factory in panic
"Power off!"
"Tried, but it didn't work!" The operator shouted in despair, "It's like these things are alive, the cables have been unplugged......"
"What are they assembling? Didn't we build a subway car? ”
The black skeletal machine bodies took shape one after another, and climbed out of the assembly line one after another. They looked around coldly, scanned, followed onto their targets, and raised their energy cannons.
"Collect...... Archiving ......"
At the same time, General Lane base.
"The machine army is out of control? What does it mean to be out of control!? ”
General Ryan shouted at the top of his voice over the red siren.
"Then take back control for me, cut off the power, or just blow up those machines! Do what you experts do! ”
"I've tried it all, sir......"
The expert in the white coat looked at the military machine soldiers killed from the armory in the surveillance footage, sweating profusely and turning pale.
"We tried our best, but we were blocked out of the system......"
"Who's keeping you out?" General Lane roared.
Before the expert could speak, the next moment the culprit jumped out and automatically claimed it.
All the devices went out at once, and the lights and screens went black at the same time. But half a second later, the screen lights up again, and there is a skeleton in the center of the interface.
Archiving...... Gather...... Your world belongs to Brainiac ......"
...
...
Rumble!
Lex Industries, a huge fireball rises into the sky, and the firelight reflects the entire dark industrial area. The impact of the explosion enveloped the masonry, glass, and metal wreckage, and dispersed with the scorching air. The walls of the building shook violently, and huge gaps were blasted in the ground.
The red-silver steel body soared into the sky with a tail flame, followed by a series of black robots.
Superman also struggled with three or five skeleton machines and rushed to the ground. With his bare hands, he tore the oncoming machine in half like a tearing paper, and kicked the head of the other machine with a flying kick. The edges of the metal shell snapped open, and the exposed parts and wiring fell to the ground with a clatter.
He grabbed two pieces of wreckage and threw them, crashing into a machine flying in mid-air and blasting into a fireball. Three other robots tried to rush forward side by side, but two extremely domineering hot eyes swept out, like fiery blades, severing them all in unison.
At this time, Kara also changed into the classic Supergirl uniform for the first time, but compared with the classic model, the same eye patch as the deputy Robin was added.
She punched through a machine, and then rushed out with a bang, destroying several machines in succession.
An alien laser struck her in the back, and Kara snorted, but turned her head to breathe as she stood. The freezing cold froze several machines behind her into ice sculptures, Kara's figure flashed, and the robots all turned into powder.
"In the city...... People need help. Superman's ears twitched, and a flood of cries for help and sirens poured in.
Shen You swept through the air, connecting the dots with his palms, and the light energy cannon blew apart the bodies of the two robots.
"Sir, a large-scale anomalous reaction has been discovered...... From the Metropolitan Underground! ”
Thundered......
Soon they saw it, and the whole city saw it.
The huge tower-shaped, metal-clad shell, like a sleeping beast waking up from a dream, spreads up like a giant iron vine, piercing the sky of the metropolis.
The streets trembled violently, like ravines torn apart by the claws of demons. Towers crumble like building blocks, and towers roar out like alien trumpets, towering coldly over the city, as if to proclaim the authority it has acquired.
"It looks like the Metropolis has three towers drilled out of three different directions, sir." "They all have a strong Brainiac signaling response. It looks like the enemy intends to establish positions. ”
"Noticed...... Say something I don't know. Shen said.
"The anti-Brangiac radar detected a strong signal response, coming from outside the atmosphere...... There are large UFOs approaching. ”
"It's his ship!"
Kara looked horrified, as if recalling a nightmare on Krypton.
"Brainiac's ship, he's coming...... Just like that day! ”
"Outside the atmosphere, some kind of particle convergence has been found, and there is a powerful abnormal energy reaction. Matches were found against Krypton's database. Parr continued, "It's a recognizing reaction to 'miniature energy,' sir." ”
Shen You nodded, indicating that he understood.
“...... He wanted to put the Metropolis in his bottle. ”
