Volume 6: Secret Invasion Chapter 54: Batboy's Guardian Spirit is the Terrifying Killer Angel Kouya
"The temple blockade was activated, and the power of the six gods began to run wild. Although we failed to reach the intended target, those who stepped into the trap are also dead."
In the palace of Kandak, Black Adam sat on his throne and looked towards the direction of the temple. The resolute king still had a scar on his waist that had not yet healed.
The divine power belonging to Shazam was churning in it, making it impossible for the wound to heal quickly.
Next to Black Adam's throne, a guy dressed in the standard uniform of the Star Club stood with his hands behind his back and said to Black Adam in a gentle tone:
“We will remember your contribution, Your Majesty, because with today’s victory, Khandak will become an undisturbed paradise after the real war begins.
Even the world itself can be yours to rule if you wish."
"I have no interest in that."
Black Adam said in a low voice:
"There are still villains causing trouble in my country. I still need to recuperate. Why don't I ask the Lord 'God' for help?"
"Do I still need to take care of those small fish and shrimps?"
The guy whom Black Adam called "God's Messenger" laughed hoarsely and waved his hands and said:
"Let them go. They are just a group of children. How big a crime can they commit? The captain of Team K will die today. I have to send this news back to Star Castle.
Your Excellency the Warlock will certainly be very happy.
He is a generous man and he will reward you.”
"I repeat, I don't need it!"
Black Adam clenched his fists and said:
"If you want to go, go ahead. I'll take care of the rest."
"Yes, please do as you please, Your Majesty, but please remember that there is always a place reserved for you in my team."
His Excellency "God's Messenger", an A-level member of the Star Society, did not care about Black Adam's indifference. He had seen many heroes who were forced to be stupid when traveling in various realms, and he needed some time to accept the reality that he had already bowed down.
What Black Adam needs now is some time alone and to repent.
However, when he turned and walked into the shadow behind the throne, opened a world door and was about to jump out, he turned back and warned Black Adam:
"Let the Church of All Green of the Swamp Monsters develop on its own. You should not interfere. It is a very important part of the Warlock's conquest plan.
The agents of Red of All Creatures performed well in the operation to capture Superman, proving the power of the Source.
The agent of the Black of Decay has also been found. The newly formed 'Legion of Doom' will be responsible for searching for him and will join him in Kandak soon. Your Majesty, please prepare for the reception in advance."
Black Adam remained silent, and the Messenger of God shrugged, assuming he had heard it.
After that guy left, the monarch of Kandak stood up suddenly.
From the expression on his face, it was clear that he was unhappy. He was obviously dissatisfied with the fact that these hounds of the Star Society used his country as an evil base to invade this world.
But since he has chosen to bow his head, he has to endure these treatments that are regarded as "humiliation" honestly.
He occasionally doubted in his heart whether his choice was correct.
but……
Black Adam looked down at his clasped fingers. The divine power from the six gods was more active and stronger than ever before. This might indicate the source of his power, namely the attitude of those legendary gods high in the sky, towards this matter.
"Shua"
His Majesty shook his head and stopped thinking about these things. Instead, he turned into a bolt of lightning and landed in front of the temple that was blocked from the outside.
This is the most important relic of Kandak.
Five thousand years ago, when Black Adam was still a mortal, this holy place dedicated to the Egyptian gods was the symbol of the entire country.
Although Black Adam's divine power once came from the Rock of Eternity, after being exiled by the old wizard Shazam, he no longer sought power from the Rock of Eternity but instead obtained his connection with the gods from this temple to share their power.
This is the land of the gods, and Black Adam never thought that one day it would be destroyed in his own hands.
This should have been considered a blasphemous act, but standing in front of the temple entrance, the monarch of Kandak did not feel any anger or rebuke from the gods.
It seemed as if this was also the common choice of the gods in this dark age.
"You have already reached an agreement with the Star Club..."
Black Adam stood with his hands behind his back, feeling the constant vibrations of destruction coming from the sealed temple. He knew that it was the rioting divine power that was destroying all life in the temple.
He thought to himself:
“Before they actually began to invade this world, the hounds from the dark stars had already begun to strip away the world’s defenses. They didn’t start with superheroes, but with more ancient and original powers.
For example, the green of all things represents nature... huh?"
The strange movement interrupted Black Adam's thoughts, and he looked up at the blocked temple entrance in front of him.
The huge rock covered with powerful divine patterns that the "messenger of God" had obtained from somewhere unknown had cracks appearing on it, as if something dangerous was trying to break the blockade and escape from the collapsed demiplane.
This discovery made Black Adam frown.
how?
Even the destructive powers of the Egyptian gods themselves can't destroy Batman and his henchmen?
He sensed that there was an unexpected change in the plan, so he began to call on divine power. Feeling unhappy, he planned to personally crush to death any guy who escaped from the temple.
"Bang"
The boulder was smashed in the next moment. Harley, who was covered in dust and coughing violently, rushed out first, grabbing the Origin X Metal Hammer surrounded by lightning.
Behind her were a group of "defeatable soldiers", each of them looking very miserable with black and gray faces.
"die!"
Black Adam, who was wrapped in thunder and looked like a god descending from the earth, rushed over like lightning, with lightning wrapped in his eyes. He roared and was about to hit the little cutie to death, so as to completely bury what happened today in this dreary night.
But the next moment, a hand stretched out from behind the little cutie with wide eyes and a frightened face. The left hand with a black glove held a silver retro lighter, and his finger was on the trigger as if he was going to light a cigarette for the big guy in front of him.
"Click"
The moment Black Adam's punch landed, Mason also pulled the trigger of the silver lighter.
"boom"
At this moment, terrifying energy gushed out from the nozzle of the lighter, enveloping everything in front of it like a nuclear bomb explosion.
Seen from a high altitude, it looked like a silver hand covered the area around Kandak's palace in an instant. With just a light touch, the entire magnificent palace was reduced to ashes in an instant.
Thanks to Mason's manipulation, no casualties were caused, and the frightened servants and guards screamed and fled in all directions.
However, this is not because the Ultimate Eraser copied by Mason's Studio Cabin is not powerful enough, but because most of its power is "enjoyed" by Black Adam alone, who is at the forefront.
If this monarch had not faced this force head-on, the entire country of Kandak would have been wiped out in an instant.
The Ultimate Eraser in Mason's hand, which he had used once, turned into crimson smoke and dissipated like the Infinity Gauntlet before. In the silent scene, the captain pulled Harley, who was frightened by the horrific scene, behind him, and pulled out the Causal Star Crusher Revolver and aimed at the front.
He looked at Black Adam who was hit head-on in front of him and couldn't help but grit his teeth.
This is too miserable...
This powerful king was directly knocked back from the form of "Mighty Adam" to a mortal. It was obviously some kind of "self-protection mechanism" after he had endured a force beyond his limit at one time.
Burning smoke was coming out of his whole body, which was the result of the blood and water in his body being vaporized.
The tall body stood with difficulty in front of the flattened palace, trying hard to maintain the shaking body so as not to fall down, and gritted his teeth on his scarred face, unwilling to admit defeat.
But Mason only fired a tentative shot at him, and the latter fell to the ground with a thud.
This is exactly what is meant by the last gasp of a dying force.
"Take Dachao away!"
He stepped forward to give Black Adam first aid, then turned back to the master and Zha Kang behind him and said:
"Those bastards used kryptonite to drain almost all of his blood, and used some strange force to drain his life force to the very last ounce. He was like a candle in the wind.
He needs immediate medical attention, or the Kryptonian may actually die tonight."
"Xiao Qiao hasn't been found yet!"
Xiao Zuckerberg shouted:
"We have to find that kid, or Clark will go crazy even if he wakes up."
"He is in the swamp and is being moved away by the Church of All Green. I can feel it."
Mason activated his ability to make heavy rain fall and cover the entire capital. He sensed the changes in the rain, then waved his hand and said:
"Take Superman away first. Zack and Harley go save Joe. Ivy and Groot are being held by the swamp monster. Jason, go help!"
"What about you?"
Harry asked worriedly:
"Will sweetheart take this opportunity to do something dangerous again?"
"I have a plan, don't worry."
Mason smiled at Harry and urged everyone to act immediately.
He stayed here to bandage Black Adam, who was half dead at his feet, and finally managed to stabilize the poor guy's physical condition.
A few minutes later, a muffled sound was heard from the temple behind, completely shattering the demiplane that was on the verge of collapse. It was time for Mason's House to self-destruct.
At the same time, several Skrull warriors guarding Mason drew their weapons and pointed them forward.
Heavy rain beat down on the ruins of the palace. A woman in an Egyptian-style long dress fell from the sky. She was obviously also a superhuman. Looking at the magical power surrounding her hands, one could tell that she was not someone to be trifled with.
"Let go of my husband!"
The lady hung in the rain, unafraid of the Skrulls' weapons. She stared at Mason and the unconscious Black Adam at his feet, and shouted to him:
"He was coerced! He didn't do it voluntarily. It was those gods... those damn gods who had joined the power called the Star Society. They forced my husband to bow his head.
It was difficult for him to resist the gods' orders with his divine power, but he sent me away from here.
He’s still resisting.”
"I don't care whether Black Adam surrendered voluntarily or was forced. His surrender is an indisputable fact. The cruelty of the adult world lies in judging by actions rather than intentions!"
Mason looked up at the woman in the heavy rain.
He placed Johnny's Gun against the forehead of the unconscious mortal Black Adam and said to the man in front of him:
"You are Queen Isis, right? I heard that you were Black Adam's wife 5,000 years ago, and you are still together 5,000 years later? What a touching love story.
Reminds me of Hawkman and Hawkgirl, who were also part of Egyptian legend, so I guess, like Black Adam, they also succumbed to the arrangements of the gods?
No wonder the couple hasn’t attended the Justice League meetings for a long time.”
The captain sneered.
In the rain, he put away the pistol and whispered:
"Madam Queen, you don't want to see your infatuated husband die in front of you, right? I can spare his life, but I need you to do something for me...
Don't worry, it's not that difficult.
Contact the people behind him and send the news that he is captured immediately! I promise that your husband will survive."
…
"Shua"
Outside the border of Kandak, the figure of Little Flash, who was fighting with Wonder Woman, suddenly disappeared as if he was deserting the battlefield. His departure put all the pressure on the Martian Hunter who was still fighting.
It's somewhat unsportsmanlike.
The Flash's departure also made Wonder Woman stunned for a moment, but then she raised her round shield and sword and attacked the Martian beside her , and she shouted:
"Get out of the way! Aliens, we are here to save Clark."
"I know."
The Martian Manhunter, who was entrusted with an important task, fought against the trident stabbed by Arthur Curry and echoed:
"But that's why I can't let you go. Worrying about and helping your companions will lead you into a trap. Batman has told me to stop you from falling into the trap."
"He's just an ordinary guy!"
The King of the Seven Seas shouted:
"If that's a trap for the Justice League, then letting Batman go alone is sending him to his death! Get out of the way!"
Martian Manhunter remained silent.
But he was still unwilling to give way, which made the heroine and Aquaman very helpless. The guy in front of them was very powerful and had a weird "virtualization" ability.
Neither the sharp blade nor the magic could cause effective damage to him. Perhaps the offensiveness was slightly insufficient, but using them to entangle them would make it difficult for the two to break through in a short period of time.
"Whoosh"
Just as the three were confronting each other, Xiao Shan, who had left and returned, appeared again.
He was followed by Zha Kang and Master, and the unconscious Superman was being carried on Master's back. This scene made Wonder Woman exclaim, and she immediately stepped forward to take out the Amazon potion to give it to Superman, but was stopped by Zha Kang.
"What he needs most right now is some sunshine and some faith in the healing powers of Kryptonians."
"Let me do it."
Martian Manhunter stepped forward to take over the unconscious Superman, he held him and slowly rose into the air. Wonder Woman was worried about him so she also flew up and protected Superman to the outside world so that he could get better contact with the sunlight.
"I have to go back and see Xiao Zha."
Zha Kang blew out a smoke ring and said to the master with a hint of hostility:
"Don't make things worse, Batboy. Although our relationship is unstable, don't try to take advantage of it! You already have Selina!
Be content. "
The master did not respond to this shameless slander at all. He watched Zha Kang disappear in the teleportation spell and then turned to Xiao Shan and said:
"Barry, go back to Gotham and activate my Batcomputer to contact Cyborg, Wick, and Oliver. They need your help in their cleansing operation against the Skrulls.
I'll stay here until this is over."
"If you care about Damian, just say so. I won't laugh at you."
Little Flash grinned, nodded goodbye to Aquaman Arthur who was holding the Trident of the Deep Sea, and then disappeared into the desert with a whoosh, leaving only Aquaman and his master.
"I checked Clark's injuries and found something."
Batman said to Aquaman who came to his side:
"It's just that the influence of kryptonite or that mysterious power that can affect life can't make him so weak. Those guys used some unknown drug on him, which made him poisoned and weak."
“How vicious!”
Arthur cursed loudly, and then he heard the master say faintly:
"But the concentration of that drug in Clark's body exceeded a certain level, which means that he was not given the drug after he was captured, but he was poisoned before the attack on him began.
I just checked out the Justice League's previous actions.
In the past month, Clark has been on emergency missions seven times, three of which were with you, Arthur. Besides, as the King of the Seven Seas, don't you hate desert terrain the most? "
The King of the Seven Seas' face changed, and he immediately punched Bruce Wayne, but the old man was prepared and dodged the punch, and an injection dart was also stabbed into the arm of "Arthur Curry".
The injection of a neurotoxin specifically designed for the Skrulls caused them to lose their disguise and reveal their true form as they staggered backwards.
Just like the Alpha agent disguised as Iron Man on another Earth, the super spy hidden here was finally exposed and he is also a super individual!
The neurotoxin caused it terrible pain, but failed to knock it down immediately.
It roared, pulled out a dangerous-looking gun and aimed at the master. The master also activated the activation key that Mason had given him before and summoned the Fenrir armor to capture this alien bastard who disguised himself as one of his own and almost killed his best friend.
As a result, at this moment, a gunshot echoed in the desert, and the Super Skrull that pounced on the master widened his eyes and then fell to the ground weakly.
There was a thumb-sized muzzle between his eyebrows, and most of his skull was brutally opened.
This shot made the master stand there in a daze.
He reacted very quickly and rushed to the nearby sand dune, took out a telescope and looked outside, but he could only vaguely see a dark figure with a gun on his back disappearing in the quicksand a thousand meters away.
The master's heart was pounding.
Although the distance was too far to see the person's face clearly, the familiar back was unforgettable no matter what, as if the person who had left long ago was not actually gone, and had always been quietly guarding by one's side.
"Mission report..."
As Mason strolled into the strange swamp, the old man's voice sounded in his ears through the communicator.
The latter reported in a calm tone:
"The super-Skrull spy disguised as Arthur Curry, the King of the Seven Seas, has been killed. The internal threat of the Justice League has been eliminated! So far, 217 Skrulls have been killed or detained."
"Didn't you take the opportunity to say a few more words to Bruce or something?"
Mason curled his lips and joked:
"Don't think I don't know. You've been secretly following him before this operation began. He relies on Martha in Gotham and on you outside. Isn't Batman's life too good?"
"Shut up, Mason!"
