Chapter 171 Welcome to Earth
"We're in big trouble, Batman."
The Son of Steel and the princess from the Amazons are reflected in the single eye of the death knell.
Their faces were blank, three pink lights appeared on their heads, and their skin began to turn green little by little.
He slowly retreated, step by step.
The black manta ray stood to the side:
"I can hold off Wonder Woman. But if Superman joins the fight, I'm afraid I won't be able to do anything."
"Batman, Batman! Can you hear us?"
Deathstroke turned to look at Batman... uh, Batman whose head had turned into a car computer. The other person stood there quietly, motionless like a statue.
On that LCD "face," countless data points spun around like a carousel.
Then the chaotic data aggregated and coalesced into an abstract bat head reminiscent of Mario: "You guys hold them off for a bit, I'm still invading Brainiac."
"I'm blocking the way, my foot!" Huo Dianxian cursed, and a string of profanities poured out of her cherry-like mouth in a short time.
Deathstroke quickly calculated the current combat strength in his mind. He was a master strategist, and when Batman voluntarily relinquished command, he immediately assumed the role of leader.
Black Manta and Wonder Woman are evenly matched, and their battle is unlikely to be decided anytime soon, so it can be ruled out for the time being.
As for the remaining group, Deadshot had plenty of Kryptonite bullets, but could only use them to distract Superman; he would surely die if Superman got close. The live wire's current was powerful, but it was like a tickle to Superman, only serving to distract and paralyze him. Deathstroke, even with Batman's Kryptonite knife, was still very dangerous against Superman.
They lacked a character who could hold Superman off in a direct fight. If Atomic Skull had been there, he might have filled the gap, but Atomic Skull refused to cooperate. The remaining minor characters, such as Bomb and the Eggman brothers in the big tent, were even more useless.
They might be able to hold their own against Brainiac's grunt robots, but they'd be no match for Superman.
Deathstroke gritted his teeth, knowing that in the end he had to do it himself.
"drink!"
Black Manta took the initiative. Two nozzles on his helmet, resembling fly eyes, spewed out waves of red lasers. He turned the energy up to the maximum, and in one strike, Wonder Woman was sent flying backward.
But the Amazon princess, who had been knocked away, returned in an even shorter time. Without a sound, she pounced like a lithe female leopard. Black Manta drew his twin blades, which clashed with her round shield and longsword, producing a harsh sound of metal being torn apart.
It's blocked!
Black Manta's armor was already at its highest setting, with several flamethrowers erected on his back to block the powerful attack from the female warrior. Even though his feet sank directly into the floor of the spaceship, he still managed to withstand it!
It's now!
Black Manta loosened his grip on the heroine's twin blades, and red lasers shot out from his helmet once more, striking the heroine's weapon-wielding hands.
At the same time, Black Manta suddenly retreated and instantly pulled out a replacement jitte from his waist.
He had unexpectedly knocked the heroine's weapon away, and now he was facing off unarmed, which was his only chance to win...
But before Black Manta could adjust his posture and continue his attack on the heroine, he felt himself being lifted up like a chick and held high above the heroine's head.
Peng!
Black Manta punched the heroine in the cheek. With the armor's enhancement, the punch was comparable to a grenade explosion, even making a popping sound in the air, but the heroine remained unfazed.
The next second, the black manta ray was thrown backwards like a comet.
"Damn it..."
This dazzling battle sounds complicated, but it actually happens in just a few seconds.
In the blink of an eye, Black Manta had already fallen into a disadvantageous position, and Deathstroke's face was grim.
"Ready!"
"Superman and Wonder Woman are both controlled; they're killing people now. Listen to me, there's no going back—"
Pfft!
Deathstroke looked down and saw the hand that had pierced straight through his chest. He turned in astonishment to the steel figure with glowing red eyes.
His usually gentle face was now expressionless, and the splattered blood on his handsome face made him look like a demon.
"Super...Superman!"
boom!
The Death Shooter has opened fire.
The green kryptonite bullets swirled in the airflow, propelled by the flames as they flew from the barrel. In a fraction of a second, beyond the reach of human reaction time, everything in the world slowed down before Superman.
The steel-bodied figure tossed Deathstroke, whose chest had been pierced by a hand chop, to the ground, then hovered in the air. His green, expressionless face looked at the kryptonite bullets that were still slowly hurtling towards him.
Two on the left, three on top.
All possible evacuation routes were blocked.
His eyes glowed red.
call!
Like soap dissolving in water, all the incoming Kryptonite bullets were incinerated into dust by the heat vision. Just as Superman, controlled by Brainiac, was about to continue attacking Deadshot—
呲!
A massive electric current surged towards Superman! It was a live electrical wire!
呲!
The live wire and Superman flashed thousands of times in the air in an instant, and then the bombshell saw the electrocuted beauty's body split in two, with flowing current at the break. She fell helplessly to the ground, her "dead" eyes staring blankly at him.
The aloof and dignified demon god of the mortal realm, his hands stained with blood, landed expressionlessly on the ground. Beneath his feet lay the "corpses" of the two strongest among them.
Blood, blood everywhere.
Deathstroke's chest gushed blood like it was free, and he collapsed stiffly to the ground.
When those bloodshot eyes stared at the bomb, the bomb finally collapsed.
"ah!!!"
He screamed in terror, then turned and ran: "It's impossible to win, it's impossible to win, help! Batman!"
"Help me!!!"
"It's no use." Then the bombshell heard Brainiac's voice.
"Batman himself is in dire straits."
He beckoned with his finger, and Superman flew to his side, hovering behind him.
The green alien Brainiac stood up, slowly levitating and flying towards Batman, who was still standing in place with his car computer still scrolling through data.
"Useless resistance, Batman. You know what it means that I can still speak."
A super-muscular man, nearly two meters tall, a bombshell, hid behind Batman, his voice trembling with tears: "Batman! Batman! Superman is so scary!"
Seeing Brainiac getting closer and closer, the bombshell finally couldn't withstand the psychological pressure and scrambled to the middle of the other villains who hadn't yet made a move.
Everyone fell silent.
Not far away, Black Manta was still locked in hand-to-hand combat with Wonder Woman. They were exchanging blows, but Black Manta was clearly at a disadvantage.
If the female warrior hadn't been unarmed while he was armed, the situation might have been even worse.
"I identified the most important person in the entire battle a long time ago."
Brainiac stood before the defenseless Batman.
The other party is still running data, but it's having no effect whatsoever.
"Even if all those so-called henchmen you brought were tied together, they couldn't possibly defeat Wonder Woman and Superman."
"So that's why you deliberately sent your robots to attack major cities around the world."
In the car's computer mode, Batman conjured an abstract bat head on the screen, and the other person's voice sounded somewhat hesitant:
"You are exploiting Superman and Wonder Woman's insatiable desire to save the innocent, deliberately holding them back so they cannot directly participate in the battle."
“That’s right,” Brainiac said. “You realized it very quickly.”
He was composed and elegant.
The green-skinned alien mobilized more of his computing power, and hot smoke rose from his enemy's head. Then, he groaned and knelt on one knee.
Batman attempted to compress his mind into the mechanical body. He almost succeeded, had Luthor not previously revealed that the other man was using the Joker's mind to interfere.
After severing his connection with the Joker, his enemies have lost their last chance.
In a contest of conventional computing power, Batman wouldn't even be worthy of shining his shoes. Even with that extraordinary power to control metal and electromechanical systems, it's impossible to bridge the absolute gap in computing power.
Brainiac looked down at Batman.
The difference in computing power was enormous; within a few dozen seconds, his opponent was utterly routed. His only chance was to do this while the Joker was interfering with his thinking, but he failed, and the tide of battle turned in that instant.
"In pursuit of greater power, I am determined to rule the universe and seek all knowledge within it."
Brainiac looked at the other person.
He was relentlessly using his computing power to overwhelm Batman, who was gradually becoming unable to withstand his attacks.
"I have spent countless years, countless centuries, on this."
"My spaceship is built with technology you can't control. I'm stronger, faster, and smarter than you."
In the distance, Black Manta was still locked in a fierce battle with Wonder Woman, and Brainiac frowned.
The next second, with his power, Superman flew away as a red and blue blur, and when he returned, he was holding Black Manta in his hand.
Superman crushed the opponent's armor with his bare hands, and Black Manta retaliated by stabbing Superman's eye socket with his ten hands. Then, the armor on his hands was swiftly removed, and he was knocked unconscious in an instant.
"You have every reason to be proud, Batman."
Brainiac said, "You can't beat me, you can't beat me."
"No, I can." Brainiac heard Batman's voice and remained noncommittal.
A three-dimensional projection appeared before Brainiac, showing the appearance of the Earth.
Countless red dots flashed on it.
"The weapons to destroy Earth are in place," Brainiac said. "They're deployed and ready to destroy your world."
No, they won't.
He heard Batman's voice. Even when pushed to the limit, would the other party still dedicate computing power to answer him?
It's ridiculous. They might have been more effective to use that computing power to deal with his mental attacks.
Pointless stubbornness is useless.
He continued speaking, and at that moment, every Brainiac robot on Earth transmitted Brainiac's voice:
"People of Earth, your champions have let you down. You have no hope. You are doomed."
"You are about to..."
But Brainiac suddenly froze.
The machines that had been continuously playing his voice on Earth also stopped abruptly.
Brainiac turned to look at Superman, who was grabbing his organic neck.
"How is this possible?"
Brainiac punched Superman in the face, his fist colliding with Superman's cheek, creating a loud sonic boom.
Without any response, Wonder Woman grabbed one of his arms and then sliced open the tubes extending from his brain with a chop to the neck.
Brainiac mentally scanned Superman's mind again.
That's impossible. The other party is completely under his control. He deliberately placed methods on those robots that kill civilians. The more robots that are destroyed, the more deeply Superman's mind should be influenced by him.
And indeed, that was the case. He had complete control over Superman's mind at that moment; he could manipulate Superman's mind to control his body and do anything. Batman couldn't do anything inside Superman's mind at all. How could this be...?
Blagnac suddenly realized something.
Someone bypassed Superman's mind and took direct control of his body.
"I told you, you can't, Brainiac."
He heard Batman's voice and saw Batman slowly stand up from the ground.
"You think cutting my tubes and cutting off me and my spaceship will solve everything...?"
Although Brainiac was surprised, he remained calm.
His deception worked. Batman, like countless other heroes from other planets who had attacked him, probably thought that cutting his tubes would make him surrender, but that was precisely the flaw he deliberately created. He was able to…
The next second, he saw Batman pounce on him and stuff a bunch of tiny nanobots into the broken tube in his brain.
It's the same old trick again, those nanobots.
Did they really think they could succeed with the same tactics against Brainiac a second time?
He could completely block the influence of these nanobots on him, and then...
But Brainiac's train of thought was interrupted once again...
"What is this thing?! Damn it!"
He noticed the difference.
They are alive!
The things Batman stuffed into his head, those creatures, weren't inanimate objects; they were living beings.
"Some bacteria."
He heard Batman's voice: "Some bacteria that bind to metal, and viruses."
In that instant, a sense of dread surged from the soles of Brainiac's feet all the way to his head.
He heard Batman's voice, cold and lonely, like a dark pool.
"You can't face things you can't control, can you? Despite having so much knowledge, you don't understand the meaning of life."
Brainiac fell to the ground.
Chen Tao looked down at him from his elevated position.
"Welcome to Earth, Brainiac."
Everyone! I'm back from my PY trade! (covering his butt with a suspicious flush on his face)
"American TV Series World: Starting with a Los Angeles Police Department Cop" is a stitched-together world of episodic American TV series. It allows you to immerse yourself in the protagonist's perspective, rescue characters who are arbitrarily killed off, and reasonably compensate for the silly plots caused by the writers' wild imaginations. Keywords: invincible, lighthearted, harem.
