Kryptonians: Man of Steel

Chapter 1172 Kyoto is gone
They are like time bombs hidden in the soil, quietly waiting for the next victim to arrive.

These bombs may be blown by the wind or washed away by rain, but no matter when and where they are triggered, they will once again erupt with destructive power.

Perhaps, when an innocent civilian accidentally steps on them, he will become the next victim. In the eyes of America, their lives may not even be worth a speck of dust.

But America obviously doesn't care about all this.

In their eyes, the post-war cleanup work should naturally be undertaken by the islanders.

They will not feel guilty for those who have lost their homes in the war, nor will they shed tears for those who have lost their lives in the war.

For them, war is just part of the political game and a tool to achieve their hegemonic ambitions.

As the bombing continued, Kyoto below was reduced to ruins.

The once prosperous city is now reduced to ruins and blazing flames.

Those towering buildings have now collapsed to the ground and turned into piles of rubble; those spacious and bright streets are now filled with craters and debris; those residents who were once laughing and talking have now disappeared, leaving only endless silence and despair.

The air was filled with the smell of burning and blood, making people want to vomit.

This smell is the smell of death, the smell of destruction.

Although the bombing killed a large number of monsters and goblins, the nest beast did not seem to be greatly affected.

It once again spewed out a large number of flying predators and crawling predators, which hovered in the air or crawled on the ground, looking for surviving creatures as food.

Groups of bombers roared through the sky, the roar of their engines was as deafening as thunder. They carried heavy bombs, like messengers of death, dropping flames of destruction to the ground.

However, under this sky shrouded in war, there is a group of flying predators that are like nimble swallows, evading in the air. They are agile and their wings flap so fast that they are almost invisible. Every turn they make is just right to avoid the landing point of the bomb.

These flying predators had bloodthirsty gleams in their eyes as they rushed towards the bomber groups, their sharp claws flashing cold light, trying to tear apart the defenses of these steel behemoths.

The bomber and fighter groups responded quickly, and the dense artillery fire intertwined into a web of death in the air, trying to intercept these flying predators.

However, these flying predators displayed amazing agility and speed, drawing graceful arcs in the air and skillfully dodging every shell.

Just when the two sides were in a stalemate, several flying predators suddenly made an astonishing move - they stuck to each other, their bodies began to emit a faint light, and then they merged into one, becoming a larger and faster "synthetic flying predator."

Every swing was accompanied by a strong hurricane force wind.

It quickly locked onto a bomber in the group and dived down at an astonishing speed.

The pilot on the bomber screamed in terror and tried to make a final resistance, but it was all in vain. The claws of the synthetic flying predator easily tore through the bomber's armor and ripped it to pieces.

At the same time, ground forces are also facing tremendous pressure.

The crawling predators swarmed from all directions, biting or ramming the soldiers, making it difficult for them to defend themselves.

These reptiles are covered in thick shells and their claws are as sharp as blades. Every attack is enough to make the soldiers' flesh and blood fly. Facing heavy weapons such as tanks, these reptiles did not show the slightest fear. They quickly stuck together to form a huge "synthetic reptile" covered with shells and spikes.

This synthetic reptilian predator is like a moving mountain. Every step it takes causes the ground to shake, and every attack is enough to destroy a building.

The soldiers tried to repel it with artillery fire, but the shells left only shallow marks on its thick shell.

However, the real disaster had just begun.

A large number of tentacles stretched out from the countless holes of the nest beast. These tentacles spread on the ground and in the sky like living things, quickly covering the entire Kyoto.

These tentacles not only have powerful attack power, but can also recover monsters and predators that have been killed.

The tentacles rolled up lightly, and the corpse disappeared without a trace. Then, a new round of production and hatching began in the body of the giant beast in the nest.

Soon after, new predators burst forth from the holes of the lair, more ferocious and more difficult to deal with than before.

These new predators seemed to be endowed with some mysterious power. Not only did they attack faster and more powerfully, they could even use some simple tactical coordination.

They targeted bombers and ground troops and launched even more violent attacks.

The bomber and fighter groups fought hard in the air, but faced with these large and powerful predators, they were quickly destroyed.

Faced with such a situation, the island government fell into an unprecedented dilemma.

Not only do they have to deal with the lair beast and its predators, but they also have to prevent local extraordinary people from colluding with other countries and escaping.

In fact, several such incidents have occurred in the island nation.

After witnessing countless deaths of their companions and endless battles, some extraordinary people began to retreat.

They think that since they can live a relatively comfortable life in other countries, why should they stay here and risk their lives?
These extraordinary people began to look for opportunities to escape from the island country. They used their extraordinary abilities to avoid government surveillance and pursuit.

Some other countries, especially those that are curious about and eager for supernatural powers, have launched a warm recruitment campaign against these supernatural beings.

America is one of them.

Not only did this country openly open up its "green card", anyone who was an extraordinary person from the island country could immediately obtain citizenship of their country and also enjoy various welfare privileges.

These privileges include but are not limited to high bonuses, comfortable living environment, advanced scientific research facilities and priority employment opportunities.

These tempting conditions make the island government feel dizzy. Once these extraordinary people leave in large numbers, the island country will completely lose its voice in the extraordinary field.

But they had no other choice. Kyoto fell, and countless predators spread to other parts of the island nation, numbering in the millions. Although the American fleet escaped, it was caught up by these predatory creatures and suffered heavy losses.
