Chapter 591: Oblivion Bar
It's rare for Batman to see Superman so fully committed to a mission, and I have to say that he even feels a little uncomfortable about it.
In just two days, the amount of kryptonite on the earth has begun to decrease visibly. The dense green dots of light that began on the Earth model have now begun to disappear rapidly, like a fire being extinguished.
A large amount of kryptonite was boxed, sealed, and temporarily stuffed into a container that Batman had placed in the middle of the Neva desert. The heavy alloy door panels are reinforced with layers of optical camouflage that make the exterior look indistinguishable from the surrounding desert when the door is locked.
Once all the kryptonite has been collected and sealed, the entire facility will be lifted up by Superman and thrown into the sun.
At that time, the earth will say goodbye to this deadly element called krypton.
More superheroes join the search the next day, and many may be surprised at how many are willing to give up their time off to help Superman.
The Justice League has expanded its recruitment several times this year, recruiting many peripheral and reserve members. Many people volunteered when they learned that Superman needed manpower.
"This chunk was found in the Andes."
Firestorm waved a small lead box in his hand to invite credit.
"I flew around the area a few times and found three more pieces."
"Thanks, Firestorm." Superman took the box from him, "Thank you all for your help. ”
"Hah, of course. It's just doing what I can, and I've always been as you know, and I'm passionate. ”
He seemed to tell a bad joke and crossed his waist triumphantly. Flames flew from his head.
"But you see, if there's anything else you can do with my help, you know, any task or something, come to me at any time. As long as you think I'm up to it."
Superman is placing a kryptonite locket into a storage box. The box is held in place by the instrument and automatically retracts into the lower layer.
"I'd rather think you're doing it out of friendship." Superman said.
"Ah, of course!" Firestorm hurriedly said, "Out of friendship, of course! Hah, I mean, it's not a competition, but I think if collecting Kryptonite has a leaderboard, I should be pretty high."
The black canary in the back patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Of course, the number one score on the contribution list so far is Mr. Shen, he brought back fifty tons of kryptonite after he went to the bottom of the sea, and we can't catch up with a pat horse." ”
"Huh~ Is it so rolled?"
Firestorm gasped.
Fifty tons, good guys. A few grams like him will slowly pick up a few grams until next year
"It's easy to score points."
Like a ghost, Batman appeared at some point, and said in a deep voice behind him.
"Dispose of yourself."
Firestorm was stunned: "Excuse me? ”
"You can reassemble matter, you can construct anything with a known atomic structure. You can convert the most common air and water into kryptonite, which means you are the largest kryptonite mobile factory in the world. ”
Batman's eyes narrowed.
"If I had to say, I have to do it thoroughly. Superman should throw you into the sun with this facility. ”
Firestorm was taken aback and hurriedly raised his hands: "Hey! I don't mean that. Maybe I can make kryptonite, but I swear I've never thought of using this against Superman in my life! Didn't even think about it at once! ”
Professor Stein's ghostly head floated next to him again: "Who just learned to make kryptonite and told me that you thought you could kill Superman alone?" ”
"Professor, which side are you on!"
Firestorm jumped to its feet in fright.
"Batman said he was going to throw us into the sun!"
Professor Stein laughed, "Calm down, Ronald, Batman is joking with us." ”
"Really?" Firestorm blinked, "Batman still joking?" ”
Then Superman also smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "Don't be nervous, Batman is joking." ”
After a pause, he continued: "You can also see this as a sign that he has recognized you. He wasn't going to joke with anyone else. ”
"Really?"
Being recognized by Batman seems to be the dream of every newcomer to the league. Firestorm immediately turned his head to look at Batman with bright eyes, only to find that the latter had turned around and walked away silently.
"You should really look at Shen You's appearance when he is at the bottom of the sea, he is so handsome."
Kara grinned and floated behind.
"I mean, I've seen him do a lot of incredible things, but. . . Wow, did you know that he could steam an entire area of the ocean dry for a while and then recover unharmed?
Really handsome, so handsome."
"I'm just glad Aquaman didn't tell us that Atlantis felt threatened by war." Batman said.
"How so? In fact, Aquaman says that his council's attitude towards land has finally changed. ”
Superman said with a smile next to him.
"He used to complain about how the high-level people under the sea were stubborn, and always regarded the land as an imaginary enemy, but after hearing him say that it seemed that Mr. Shen went once, the council became easy to talk to."
At this time, Shen You, or his high-speed afterimage, stood in front of the earth model on the side and did not interject.
He had just heard about Atlantis' follow-up reaction, but he could guess it somewhat.
When your presence makes the other side feel a certain threat, the power can easily cause challenges, which can turn into disputes and wars.
But when your presence makes the other person feel threatened beyond a certain threshold, to a point where the other person feels like it's crazy to just fight against such things, power in turn brings peace.
Although Shen You said that he would not take the initiative to intervene in the war between two civilizations on the same planet, he was also very happy to see that he could indirectly prevent war and bloodshed.
"Green kryptonite is the most common type, and the main trouble you've had so far."
Shen You once again called up the model of the earth that was marked in green, and in just two days, most of the dense ball of green had been eliminated.
"Now that the green kryptonite threat has been removed, the rest should be taken care of within tomorrow. But by the way, green kryptonite is not the only type of kryptonite, there are even rarer variants of kryptonite.
These kryptonites tend to manifest as other colors, each of which causes a different special response to Kryptonite physiology."
"We've seen that."
Firestorm nodded repeatedly, indicating that I knew this.
But when he met Superman's displeased gaze, he hurriedly covered his mouth and made a zipper motion along his lips.
"The number of variant kryptonite is not very large, and the probability of encountering it is not so great. It's up to you to see if you want to deal with it. Shen said.
"Of course." Superman didn't hesitate.
Each different color of kryptonite represented a different nightmare for him.
He felt that only when the world no longer needed his strength could he be at ease with his family.
He wished he could get a good rest, even once.
Put aside all the burdens, all the disasters and pleas that echo in your ears, and enjoy your life.
But too extravagant for Superman.
"Andean region."
Shen You adjusted the parameters and modified the frequency. New and different types of Kryptonite radiation were quickly marked on the map.
"The estimated weight is 0.14 grams, but this frequency is a bit strange, and I haven't seen it before."
"New breed?"
Superman leans in front of the monitor.
"I guess I've figured it out."
Shen You tapped twice, and the staggered and complex city streets appeared in the picture, as well as a clear coordinate.
"It's a bar." Superman frowned.
"yes, the bar coincided. This isn't just any bar. Shen You said, "I believe its name should be called the Oblivion Bar." ”
"Oh."
Superman and Batman glanced at each other, and each saw a hint of strangeness in each other's eyes.
The two of them don't have much in common. Whether it's the way things are done, or the way things are treated.
But there is one thing they can agree on.
They also hate magic.
The Oblivion Bar, a magical bar that exists between dimensions.
