Eudemons Qinglong in American manga

Chapter 261 The Fortress of Solitude
If it was another super villain who planned this attack.

Whether it is a physical attacking super villain or a super villain using magic power, Roy will not have any worries.

But grids, self-aware computer programs, are the only exception.

Roy can destroy Grid's mechanical body, but he has no way to harm Grid's body program.

The power of the stars does have many uses, but there is no way to launch an attack in the online world.

To put it bluntly, Roy doesn't even have the ability to touch the grid ontology program.

Unless he can find out where the main body program of the grid is, and at the same time cut off all the surrounding network connections, so that there is nowhere for the grid to escape, he will have a chance to destroy the grid.

Although Roy didn't speak, after seeing him frown, Selina knew that things were getting a little tricky.

"Is this grid difficult to work with?"

Selina said softly.

"It's not just difficult, to be precise, I don't have the ability to hurt him at all."

"He is not a life in the true sense, but a program with self-awareness."

"It's not just me, Superman and Diana can't beat him."

Roy quickly replied.

After hearing Roy's answer, Selina continued to ask:

"Isn't there still a steel bone?"

"He should be able to deal with Grid?"

"Normally, this is the case, but judging from the current situation, I am not very optimistic about the steel frame."

Although in the comics, Grid is the defeat of Cyborg.

But that doesn't mean Cyborg can beat Grid any time soon.

If you want to defeat the grid, you must have a special environment where you cannot escape to the grid.

Otherwise, even the steel frame would not be able to prevent the grid from leaving.

Grid will kidnap the students in the school at this time, indicating that it is ready to fight Cyborg.

Although I don't know why Grid kidnapped so many students, but if nothing else, Grid wants to use these students to restrict or threaten Cyborg.

Soon, Roy discovered that his guess was correct.

Because the grid directly spoke out its own plan.

"From now on, you are all my hostages."

"If you don't want to die, you'd better be obedient."

"Otherwise, I don't mind blowing you up to the sky with the auditorium."

"Don't try to resist, and don't have any thoughts that you shouldn't have."

"I will give you three minutes to contact the outside world. You can call the police, or contact your family or friends."

"Of course, it would be the best if you can contact Cyborg."

After finishing speaking, Grid began to order his subordinates to place bombs everywhere in the auditorium.

And, it's a silver-white, unknown cuboid.

When Grid's subordinates were setting up the auditorium, the students in the auditorium took out their mobile phones and began to contact the outside world.

"You should also call Diana and tell her about the situation here."

Roy said to Selina.

"Uh-huh!"

Selina nodded, quickly took out her mobile phone, and dialed Diana's number.

Roy didn't pay attention to the conversation between Selina and Diana, and looked at the silver-white cuboids curiously.

Just when he was thinking about the use of these things, the grid directly activated these silver-white cuboids.

These cuboids, which originally looked like bricks, began to deform rapidly.

In the blink of an eye, these cuboids turned into a silvery-white column as thick as an arm.

After the deformation was complete, these columns slowly floated up in a form that violated the laws of physics, emitting a light blue light.

Under the gaze of Roy and the others, the light blue light emitted by these columns was connected together, like a boxy energy barrier, completely enveloping the entire auditorium.

Energy barrier generator?

Is it still a miniaturized portable version?

interesting!
Although the technical principle may be different, after seeing the energy barrier composed of these columns, Roy immediately remembered the huge city shield in the Garden of Eden.

It's just that, unlike the energy barrier generator in the Garden of Eden, the columns in front of us are much smaller.

I don't know how the defense of this energy barrier is?

Looking at the light blue energy barrier in front of him, Roy suddenly had the urge to test the defense of the energy barrier.

Suppressing the inexplicable impulse in his heart, he continued to look at Grid's men.

After setting up the energy barrier, these subordinates of Grid did not do other things, but gathered together in twos and threes to watch over the students in the auditorium.

"I've already told Diana about the situation here, and she will come over later."

Selina said to Roy.

"Well, let's see how they deal with it."

Roy replied.

Although he is in the auditorium now, he will not make a move easily until he finds out how many backhands Grid has left.

If the bombs around him exploded, at most he could only use the power of the stars to protect a small number of people in the auditorium.

Now he has indeed recovered his strength, and he is stronger than when he was in the Marvel universe, but he still hasn't reached the point where he can instantly cover thousands of people with the power of stars.

Unless there is a network delay on the grid side.

Otherwise, Grid would detonate the bomb faster than he could cover the entire auditorium with the power of the stars.

As soon as 3 minutes arrived, the grid blocked all signals in the auditorium.

Although the signal was blocked to prevent the students in the auditorium from continuing to contact the outside world, Grid actively projected the situation outside the auditorium onto the large screen in the auditorium.

Looking at the picture displayed on the big screen, the students in the auditorium had a strange feeling that they were not only at the scene of the kidnapping, but also watching the live broadcast.

In order to let the students in the auditorium better understand the situation outside, the grid also deliberately divided the large screen into several, showing the images of the Metropolitan Police rushing to the school and the evacuation of the students.

Not only that, but it also transferred a live broadcast of a news channel.

After seeing these actions of Grid, Roy frowned slightly.

What is it thinking?
If Grid just wanted to force Cyborg to fight with himself.

Then, kidnapping the students of the auditorium is perfectly enough for it.

As for whether the students in the auditorium can know what happened outside, it will not affect it to force the steel skeleton out.

But now, it actually projected the situation outside.

If Grid is a real terrorist, Roy can somewhat understand its thinking.

But the problem is that Grid is not a terrorist, and it doesn't need to add psychological pressure to the hostages.

In other words, it doesn't need to care whether the hostages are scared or not.

outside school.

Diana used her supernatural powers to complete the transformation of Wonder Woman.

Afterwards, he picked up his mobile phone and dialed the steel bone number.

Soon, the call was connected, and the voice of the steel bone came from the other end of the phone.

"I'm already on my way to Metropolitan University, and I'm expected to arrive in 1 minute."

Before Diana could speak, Cyborg said immediately.

"I know you must be going to the Metropolitan University. What I want to say is that there is a special person among the people kidnapped by Cyborg."

Diana said quickly.

"Special people?"

"You mean Roy who threatened Amanda with you yesterday?"

Cyborg asked back.

"How did you know it was him?"

Diana asked suspiciously.

"I just analyzed all the calls made by the Metropolitan University and just found out that his girlfriend Selina is contacting you."

Steel Bone said directly.

"Well, since you already know he's in there, it's fine."

"I'm leaving now, see you in school."

Diana continued.

"it is good!"

After finishing speaking, Cyborg hung up the phone on his own initiative.

Soon, Diana and Steel Bone came to the lawn outside the auditorium, looking at the auditorium in front of them.

"Where's Clark?"

"Isn't he in the Metropolis now?"

After realizing that only she and Cyborg rushed over, Diana asked Cyborg.

"He didn't know where he went. I contacted the artificial intelligence of the Fortress of Solitude, and the artificial intelligence of the castle didn't know where he went."

Steel Bone said quickly.

In the comics, the Fortress of Solitude is Superman's secret base in the North Pole, where various alien technologies are stored.

But here, the Fortress of Solitude is just an ordinary secret base established by Superman on a mountain dozens of kilometers away from the metropolis.

Although it contains some important things for Superman, it is far less exaggerated than the Fortress of Solitude in the comics.

But this is also normal. After all, the superman in this universe has not only never seen General Zod, but also does not know that there is a Kryptonian spacecraft under the Arctic ice shelf that has been frozen for tens of thousands of years.

If he knew that there was a Kryptonian spacecraft under the Arctic ice shelf, he would never build a lonely fortress on the mountain near the metropolis, but would directly use the Kryptonian spacecraft as his secret base.

"Since we can't contact him, forget it. The two of us should be enough for this matter."

Diana said to Cyborg.

"I can find a way to contain the grid, and I will leave the matter of saving lives to you."

"By the way, since Roy is in the auditorium, why doesn't he make a move? Does he have any concerns?"

Steel Bone asked suspiciously.

"probably."

Diana replied somewhat uncertainly.

"I'll see if I can break through the grid's signal shield and contact him."

"If we can know the specific situation in the auditorium, it will also be convenient for us to save lives."

Steel Bone said quickly.

"it is good."

Diana nodded back.

Without any hesitation, Cyborg immediately started to break through the grid's signal shielding.

Although he didn't bring any equipment, his body is the best equipment.

When the steel frame broke through the shielding of the grid signal, the Metropolitan Police finally rushed over.

Seeing that Diana and Cyborg had come, the inspector leading the team stepped forward immediately.

The inspector originally wanted to obtain more information from Diana and Cyborg.

Finding that they knew no more than he did, the Inspector sighed resignedly.

Whether it is stopping criminals or rescuing hostages, intelligence is a vital part.

If there is no accurate information, not only will it easily lead to the failure of the operation, but it will also expose the hostages to unnecessary danger.

Although he couldn't get any useful information, the inspector didn't waste time and immediately arranged for other police officers to evacuate the surrounding crowd and establish a cordon.

At the same time, the information on the scene was reported to the higher authorities.

Normally, it is the job of the police to free hostages.

But right now, it's clearly not normal.

Super villains can only be dealt with by superheroes!

Neither Cyborg and Diana, nor the police inspector who just rushed over, did not expect that their every move would be broadcasted on the big screen in the auditorium.

After seeing Cyborg and Diana coming, the fear and anxiety in the students' hearts dissipated a lot.

Although they are still hostages of the grid, they have seen the hope of leaving the auditorium alive.

In their hearts, Diana and Cyborg are much more reliable than the police in the metropolis.

Unlike these relieved students, Roy still doesn't think this time the matter will end easily.

If the grid is so easy to handle, it's a little too incompetent.

In other words, if the grid only has these abilities, then it will never plan such a plan.

Time passed little by little.

More and more police officers and reporters gathered outside the auditorium.

Several news helicopters even appeared above the school.

Selina was just like other students, looking at the big screen in the auditorium seriously.

At this moment, her cell phone vibrated suddenly.

Selina looked at the phone suspiciously, and saw the message sent by Cyborg.

This is?

After seeing the message from Cyborg, Selina immediately handed the phone to Roy.

After picking up the phone, Roy quickly replied a message to Cyborg.

"I got in touch with Roy."

"The auditorium is not only equipped with energy barriers, but also bombs were placed before."

"Roy said he can only solve the energy barrier."

"As for the bomb, there's nothing he can do about it."

Cyborg said to Diana.

"Does he know where the bombs are?"

Diana asked immediately.

"I don't know, he doesn't know the location, quantity, and equivalent."

Steel Bone continued.

After hearing his answer, Diana immediately frowned.

Although they all possess extraordinary abilities that ordinary people do not have, they are not almighty gods.

"Do you have any plans?"

Diana asked to Cyborg.

Steel Bone shook his head and said slowly:
"It now appears that there is only one way to stop the grid from launching the bomb."

"Still stopping the grid doesn't necessarily stop the bomb from detonating, though."

"A well-arranged bomb may not be detonated only by the grid. The terrorists in the auditorium may also have detonators in their hands."

The calculation ability of the grid may be a little worse than that of the steel frame, but the grid now has an absolute advantage.

"I'll go to the grid for a while to see if I can get more information from it."

"I temporarily opened a secret line for you to contact Roy, and you guys try to find out how many bombs are in the auditorium."

Cyborg said to Diana.
