Volume 7: Da Mu Da Mu Chapter 27 Batman starts killing people? Shit! This must be the end of the world, run!
Stellaris' world invasions are linear.
Obviously, the warlock was also very clear that it would be impossible to conquer the entire world in a short period of time relying solely on tens of thousands of low- and middle-level pioneers, so he chose the "coloring tactic" that was most favored by the war criminals of a certain society.
First focus on attacking a few iconic cities.
In this way, he demonstrated the powerful strength of the Star Society and then used the assassins who were ambushed in advance to cooperate with the outside world to force the civilized main body of the whole world to surrender to him.
Even in the Beyond Grade A world, the vast majority of people are still ordinary people. Superhumans may have a tough body, but ordinary people will be afraid, and fear has always been a tool for conquest that can be used.
I have to say this tactic is very effective.
Although Mason dealt a heavy blow to the Warlock Army in Washington, while his counterattack was victorious, the speed at which cities such as Gotham, Metropolis, London, Tokyo, etc. fell was enough to shock the whole world.
What's more, the "peace proposal" that Sky Eye persuaded the fool president to announce to the world set a very bad precedent.
Just over six hours had passed since the world invasion began, and more than thirty-two countries had issued statements supporting the "peace proposal." Although they were all small countries, this was already a very dangerous trend.
The warlock who is firmly behind the scenes is advancing his strategy in an orderly manner. Currently, the initiative is in his hands, and Team K and this world can only passively respond.
Of course, in addition to occupation, destruction is also an effective way to demonstrate strength.
According to previous reports by Reporter Xia, several nuclear power plants have been detonated in Europe, causing worldwide panic, but this is just the beginning, and bigger things are yet to come.
To be precise, Central City is the next window chosen by the Warlock Army to demonstrate its military power.
The particle accelerator of the Star Laboratory is world-famous and represents the most advanced technological power in this world. The energy when it is detonated is conservatively estimated to be enough to produce a weakened version of the "Tunguska explosion", which will definitely be the last straw that breaks the camel's back in this world.
"We can't hold on any longer! Retreat!"
Outside the Star Laboratory, the time left for the Rogue Gang to rest was up, and Captain Cold shouted at his team members to retreat into the laboratory.
Before their eyes, the second wave of attacks from the hounds became more and more fierce. This time, in addition to the six B-level teams attacking everywhere, the A-level member of the Star Society, "Pharaoh", who was specifically responsible for sabotage, finally took real action.
On the pyramid suspended above the city, His Majesty the Pharaoh, wearing a luxurious robe and holding the Black Book of Death in his hand, is in a posture of casting a spell.
As the most famous wizard in a certain world during the ancient Egyptian era, he deliberately preserved his former image.
The big bald head without any grass is a symbol of extreme intelligence, while the black scripture of death that automatically moves without wind in front of his eyes is proof of his authority.
He chanted the ancient spell loudly, and when he opened his hands for the third time, a bloody rain began to drip over the half-destroyed city below. It was as if the legendary Ten Plagues of the Apocalypse had been triggered. The bloody rain that exuded a breath of despair caused more evil mummies to crawl out of the ruins. They were all creations of the recently dead that were infused with dark power.
But these cannon fodders alone are far from enough.
The defense system of Star Laboratory is very complete, and he still needs something more destructive.
So he chanted again, causing the gates of the underworld to open in a gloomy and corrosive rain of blood. Black Anubis destroyers with gray wolf heads rushed into the city wielding ritual battle axes. There was no mercy in the eyes of these servants of the god of death.
The last to appear is their commander, a giant black poisonous scorpion monster that returns to the world with a roar. On top of that terrifying scorpion body is a sturdy human body. Various dark inscriptions strengthen its bronze skin, making this stitched-together dark scorpion king look even more intimidating.
"That's enough."
The Pharaoh closed the Black Book of Death, and sat on the pyramid throne high in the sky, watching with satisfaction the army he summoned wreaking havoc in the city. The superhumans who came here to help were simply unable to resist the undead from the underworld, which were enough to destroy the small city and complete the detonation of the particle accelerator.
He certainly couldn't stay here to admire the upcoming explosion. As a noble A-class member and a die-hard fan of Lord Warlock, he still had a lot of things to do.
For example, the Dark Agent of Decay who is currently still in Gotham.
The root power that controls the corrupt kingdom fascinated this excellent spellcaster.
If he could integrate the Black of Decay into the death spells he currently possessed, it would be enough to allow him to take a further step forward , even to the level of the Warlock.
"Buzz"
The bloody rain that brings death continues to fall, sucking the vitality of the earth to maintain the existence of this death-summoning magic.
But the pyramid in the sky has disappeared, and there are still many B-level personnel active on the ground, but their lives have never been considered by the Pharaoh.
This isn't just a world invasion.
As early as when the Warlocks made the declaration of war, some smart people realized that this war was actually a "great purge". Those B-level members who did not want to join the Warlock faction had to make a choice here.
After this battle, will the stars allow the two-faced guy to get away with it again? Many people can see the sinister intentions of the warlock, but they are not Team K, and they have no ability to resist.
"boom"
The outer wall of the Star Laboratory was breached by the roaring attacks of thousands of mummies. Although they were turned into ashes by the annihilation rays that were activated the next second, the army of the underworld followed closely and rushed in with a roar.
These statue-like Anubis death warriors are not afraid of rays. They are dark creatures that have an instinctive aversion to life.
Most of the innocent people who escaped from the city gathered in the underground shelter of this laboratory. The breath of life made these guys more and more violent. They flooded the laboratory's protective robots like a flowing black tide, and were then blocked by the stasis field activated by the shock wave.
They had just held on for less than two minutes when the wall at the rear was blown open, and a group of B-class personnel rushed in with a large number of C-class members, but were hit head-on by the rogue gang that had retreated here.
But what was ridiculous was that among this group of B-level personnel there was actually a space-time variant of Captain Cold, who took advantage of the chaos and rushed over and shouted:
"Hey! Another me! Don't shoot! Let's talk it over. My team was forced to attack you. How about we shake hands and make peace?"
"?"
Captain Cold was stunned for a moment.
But before he could respond, the Blue Devil who came over from the jumping space grinned and stabbed his head with a scarlet blade. A Blade Warrior jumped down from a great height and knocked down Heat Wave who was trying to support the leader. The accurate shooting from the Punisher in the distance made Captain Boomerang unable to take care of himself.
The situation suddenly reached its most critical juncture.
Faced with the pioneers with complex composition and chaotic abilities, the already exhausted Rogue Gang is about to face the end of annihilation. Without their resistance, the entire Star Laboratory will definitely be a river of blood today.
“Get lost!”
At the critical moment, a roar was heard, and the sound waves that were controlled to extreme precision were like invisible arrows that flew into the air and smashed the head of the blue devil who was attacking Captain Cold. A familiar figure also fell from the sky in the chaos .
The pistol was raised, the bullet was fired, and the next moment the Blade Warrior swung his sword to chop the bullet, his heart was pierced by the black blade.
The cold blood from the half-vampire splashed all over Captain Cold's face, but what stunned the latter was not the precise killing, but the person who was carrying out the killing!
He lay on the ground trembling with fear as he watched the guy in a black bat suit, bat helmet and bat-wing cloak rush into the front position, holding a gun in his left hand and a sword in his right hand. In just a few moments, several people were knocked to the ground.
The laboratory dome was blown open, and bat warriors dressed as ninjas flapped their wings and poured in.
A large number of elite soldiers surrounded the chaotic C-level personnel at the first sight, and the elusive assassins launched a brutal killing under the leadership of their leader.
Assassination in chaos is their specialty.
"That's...that's Batman?"
The golden glider who rushed to his brother's side and helped Captain Cold up was now shaking with fear.
She pushed aside her goggles and looked at the old man who was leading the killing in front of her in disbelief. It seemed that she had seen the most horrific scene in the world. She hid behind her brother in fear and said tremblingly:
"Batman... doesn't he not kill people? Could this quick and swift action be someone else's disguise?"
"puff"
As soon as he finished speaking, the time-space entity that had deceived Captain Cold was kicked down by the old man. The Demon Head slashed downward with his sword, and the clean and neat execution caused its head to fly out, tumbling and falling at Captain Cold's feet.
The eyes of this unlucky guy who looked exactly like himself made the highly intelligent criminal Leonard Snart shudder.
He felt that something was not right, so he gathered with his teammates and planned to leave quietly, but before they had taken a few steps, they saw a strong man with claws on his fists fighting head-on with those undead Anubis warriors.
Logically speaking, these magical creations are not afraid of physical attacks, and there is no way that guy would stand a chance of winning against an entire legion alone.
But the fact is that every time he swung his claws, purple flames would cover his claws, and the Death Army soldiers summoned from the underworld would shatter at the slightest touch, and their counterattacks could only leave shallow scars on the body of the tough guy in front of them that would heal in an instant.
"Look there!"
Relang, whose arm was injured, shouted and raised his hand. The members of the Rogue Gang looked in his direction and were horrified to see "Wonder Woman" in black clothes and black armor swinging a sword and slashing at the Dark Scorpion King.
"The Justice League is back?"
Captain Cold exclaimed, but was ruthlessly exposed by his own sister the next second:
"No, that's not Diana Prince! First of all, her figure is wrong. Diana's breasts are not that flat! This guy looks like he has shrunk by half his size..."
"Shua"
Before the Golden Glider could finish his complaints, the Bladebreaker's round shield, which was painted black, came whizzing over, killing several Anubis Death Soldiers in a row before finally slashing into the wall, brushing past the little girl's face.
The frightened Golden Glider immediately covered his small cherry lips as the dust flew everywhere, not daring to make any more remarks that might anger the fierce Dark Valkyrie in front of him.
"Pioneers who are unwilling to sacrifice themselves for the Warlock's ambitions must withdraw from the battlefield immediately! This is the last warning!"
The old man's grim voice rang out in the laboratory littered with corpses, carrying with it a strong sense of oppression.
He scolded:
"This is a game between the three great mentors: Warlock, Swordsman, and Hunter! Mason Cooper, the captain of Team K, announces to everyone that the unattainable victory belongs to the Warlock, and the only life you have is your own!
Now, besides being cannon fodder, you have a second choice: lay down your weapons immediately and surrender! "
Such persuasion to surrender soon caused a group of C-level personnel who were surrounded and suppressed to the edge by the ferocious Assassin's League army to become restless. Unlike the B-level members who volunteered, they were all forcibly recruited to the battlefield.
As cannon fodder, any of them with a little bit of brains would be unwilling to work for the high and mighty great mentor. Now the old man directly pointed out the contradictions among the three great mentors, giving these guys who had no choice at all a glimmer of hope.
The most realistic thing is that they are extremely powerful right now. Just look at those B-level members who were executed by the old man himself and you will know that the result of resisting any further will definitely not be good.
"I surrender!"
The first one to make a choice was a half-orc girl... well, a half-orc lady. She jumped out from her hiding place, raised her hands high and shouted to the cold-blooded assassins in front of her:
"The 'Blood and Glory' team withdraws from the war. We surrender our weapons to you but we demand to be treated as prisoners of war in accordance with our status!"
The old man made a gesture, and a passage was immediately opened in the encirclement of the human-bat warriors.
This made the first C-class team to surrender feel relieved. They dropped their weapons and obediently allowed the Assassin's League to put handcuffs on them and take them away from the battlefield littered with corpses.
As long as there is someone taking the lead in any matter, everything else will follow naturally.
A few minutes later, the final countdown given by the old man ended. He turned around and four assassin masters led their teams into the positions of those pioneers who were still hesitating and deadlocked. For a moment, blood splattered everywhere and screams were heard everywhere.
This scene made the Golden Glider tremble again.
The other members of the Rogue Gang were also under a lot of pressure, not only because Black Bolt was standing quietly beside them, but also because a Batman who could kill people was really too scary.
This guy had just completed a massacre right in front of their eyes.
"Rogue Gang?"
The old man looked the people in front of him up and down and said:
"You have been called up! Go to Gotham with the Assassin's League immediately. The war there needs people like you who have backbone and conscience."
"Gotham?"
The name of this place made the Rogue Gang speechless. The scene of their last visit to that haunted place was still vivid in their minds. If they had a choice, they really didn't want to go there.
Captain Cold whispered:
"Can we go to Metropolis? Isn't that also under attack?"
"Um?"
The old man snorted in dissatisfaction, and glanced at them with a cold look, which immediately made Captain Cold straighten his body and said loudly to his companions:
"Hurry up and get ready, brothers! Our next stop is Gotham."
The members of the Rogue Gang pouted and left to prepare to set off. Only then did the old man say quietly:
"Actually, I was just about to tell you that you could go to Metropolis, but you voluntarily chose Gotham, which is great."
"Yes, we 'voluntarily' choose."
Captain Han Leng was biting his teeth, but the pressure from the old man in front of him was too strong, so he had no choice but to accept the loss.
"The particle accelerator is already losing power."
Seeing the old man's gaze moving over, Brother Shockwave, who was frightened half to death by the massacre just now, immediately replied:
"It will shut down completely in another fifteen minutes. The laboratory staff, under the leadership of Dr. Stone, are sealing up the energy source. Theoretically, it cannot be detonated again."
"very good."
Thomas Wayne nodded, patted Shockwave on the shoulder, and said:
"You've been drafted too. Pack up and get ready to go to Gotham."
…
"The particle accelerator in Central City failed to detonate? What a bunch of losers!"
In the great library of Star Castle, the warlock looked at the flickering light on the slowly rotating armillary sphere in front of him. In this way, he monitored the progress of the invasion war.
After realizing that the rebels in that world had begun to protect key areas in an organized manner, the warlock sneered. He still had many cards to play, and the current resistance could not even be considered a defeat.
It just adds a little more pleasure to his conquest.
"Order!"
He said to his deputy Lao Wang, the commander of the "Warlock Guard" beside him and who had been transformed by darkness:
"The Death Star is in action, ready for low-energy neutron annihilation. Seven cities have been selected as the first batch of target cities. Give them some pressure so that they can recognize the situation they are facing.
Mason Cooper and his squad in Washington?
very good.
Smooth that place!"
