American comics: Play as Kizaru and get off work in three seconds

"Roger that!"

Tony's armor swooped down, and the pulse cannon fired a blazing green beam that struck Joel on the back of the neck.

The beam struck its target, and Joel's body jolted violently, letting out a painful roar.

Black smoke billowed from its nape, and the chip's faint light quickly dimmed.

"Good job!"

Qin Yang shouted, but his smile quickly froze.

Joel's body paused for a moment, but its bone spurs began to grow wildly, as if stimulated by some force, and its entire body swelled up.

"Tony, what the hell did you do?"

Qin Yang shouted, a hint of fear in his eyes.

Don't blame me!

Tony's voice carried a hint of helplessness, "The kryptonite energy may have stimulated its cell division! This thing's genes are too unstable!"

"Stimulate?"

Qin Yang gritted his teeth, "You're just adding fuel to the fire!"

Joel's roar was deafening as he charged toward Tony's armor with the speed of a black lightning bolt.

Tony quickly gained altitude to dodge Joel's attack, but his fist grazed the leg of the armor, leaving a deep scratch.

"Qin Yang, Diana, hold it off!"

Tony yelled, "I need time to recharge!"

"Drag it?"

Qin Yang sneered and charged at Joel, "I think you want us to be bait!"

He leaped up and punched Joel in the chest, trying to get its attention.

Diana followed closely behind, the Sword of Vulcan drawing a dazzling arc as it slashed towards Joel's leg.

The blade cut into the skin, but the wound healed quickly, and new bone spurs emerged from the wound.

"This guy is practically indestructible!"

Qin Yang shouted, his tone tinged with frustration, "Diana, is there any other way?"

"Its power comes from cell division."

Diana's voice was calm and firm: "We need to completely destroy its core, perhaps its heart or brain."

"Heart or brain?"

Qin Yang frowned, his gaze sweeping over Joel's chest. "Does this guy even have a heart?"

"Try it!"

Diana screamed and charged at Joel, her shield blocking his punch as her sword pierced his chest.

The sword tip pierced the skin, but was blocked by a bone splinter and could not go any deeper.

"Tony, is the pulse cannon ready?"

Qin Yang shouted, his EMP pulse grenade ready.

"Thirty seconds!"

Tony's voice came from high above, "Give me thirty more seconds!"

Thirty seconds?

Qin Yang cursed and threw an EMP pulse grenade, which hit Joel squarely in the chest.

The pulse wave spread out, and then Joel's movements froze again for a few seconds.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Qin Yang rushed in front of it, thrusting his vibranium dagger straight into its chest, attempting to dig out its core.

"Qin Yang, watch out!"

Natasha's voice came through the headset as an explosive arrow was fired at Joel's leg, attempting to slow his movement.

But Joel's body jolted violently, and bone spurs emerged from his chest, deflecting Qin Yang's dagger.

"Damn it!"

Qin Yang took a few steps back, leaving a deep scratch on his armor. "This guy's bones are harder than vibranium!"

"Qin Yang, step back!"

Tony's voice suddenly rang out, his armor descended from the sky, and the pulse cannon flashed green again, "I've got my sights on its chest!"

"hurry up!"

Qin Yang shouted and leaped away.

A green beam shot out from the armor, striking Joel directly in the chest.

The beam pierced its skin, blasting a huge wound from which black liquid gushed out.

Joel's body jolted violently, he let out a deafening roar, and slowly collapsed to the ground.

"Done?"

Qin Yang was panting heavily, his gaze fixed on Joel's corpse.

"Don't be careless."

Diana frowned, still holding the sword. "Its cells may still be dividing."

Sure enough, Joel's wound began to throb, and new bone spurs emerged from it.

Its body twitched slightly, as if it might stand up again at any moment.

"Tony, one more shot!"

Qin Yang shouted.

"Energy depleted!"

Tony's voice carried a hint of helplessness, "I need five minutes to recharge!"

"five minutes?"

Qin Yang gritted his teeth, "We don't have that much time!"

"Qin Yang, use your EMP rounds!"

Natasha's voice rang out, "Let's see if we can paralyze its cellular activity!"

"good idea!"

Qin Yang pulled out the last EMP pulse grenade from his waist and threw it fiercely at Joel's chest.

The pulse wave spread out, and Joel's body jolted violently, the growth rate of the bone spurs slowing down significantly.

"Diana, now!"

Qin Yang shouted and rushed toward Joel's body.

Diana followed closely behind, thrusting the Sword of Vulcan straight into Joel's chest, the blade sinking deep and shattering its core.

Joel's body finally stopped convulsing, the bone spurs stopped growing, and black liquid slowly flowed from the wound.

Qin Yang and Diana took a few steps back, staring warily at the corpse on the ground.

"died?"

Qin Yang asked in a low voice, his tone tinged with uncertainty.

"For now."

Diana's voice was low, "But we need to destroy its corpse and completely stop it from regenerating."

"Tony, get some people to clean up the scene."

Qin Yang said through his headset, "This thing can't be kept."

"S.H.I.E.L.D." has been notified.

Tony's armor slowly descended, his voice tinged with weariness, "Qin Yang, are you sure this thing was made by Lex?"

"Nine times out of ten."

Qin Yang frowned, the image of Lex's cold face flashing through his mind. "He called this thing 'Project Destroyer,' but I guess he didn't expect it to get out of control like this."

“The Destroyer?” Diana frowned. “If this is Krypton’s doomsday, we may only be seeing its prototype.”

"Prototype?"

Qin Yang sneered, "This is just the prototype? I don't want to see the complete version."

"Qin Yang, leave the situation to me and Clint."

Natasha's voice came through the headset, "You and Diana should get out of here first, it's too chaotic here."

"withdraw?"

Qin Yang grinned, "I haven't received the final payment from Lex yet."

Don't be greedy.

Tony's voice carried a hint of mockery, "Watch out, or Lex might send you an even bigger monster."

Qin Yang snorted and turned to walk towards the end of the street.

Diana followed beside him, her eyes still warily scanning the surrounding ruins.

"Qin Yang, how many more of these experiments do you think Lex has?"

Diana asked in a low voice.

"do not know."

Qin Yang's tone was heavy, "But I bet this won't be the last one."

The streets of the metropolis at night resembled a battlefield, with broken asphalt pavement emitting smoke, overturned car wrecks scattered everywhere, and police sirens blaring in the distance.

Qin Yang knelt on one knee at the edge of the deep pit, his chest heaving violently, sweat mixed with blood sliding down his forehead.

His gaze was fixed on the Destroyer Joel standing not far away. The monster's body had swelled to nearly three meters, its skin was an eerie dark green, its split mouth revealed sharp fangs, and its eyes burned with a ferocious killing intent.

Diana stood to the side, holding the Lasso of Truth, her armor covered in scratches, her panting revealing her indomitable fighting spirit.

"Qin Yang, are you alright?"

Diana's voice was urgent as she rushed forward, trying to support him. "This monster... it regenerates too quickly! We must find its weakness!"

Qin Yang gritted his teeth, pushed Diana's hand away, and struggled to stand up: "I'm fine... Diana, be careful of its speed! It gets stronger every time it gets injured, and the Kryptonite necklace is becoming less and less effective against it."

Joel let out a deep growl, his voice like that of a wild beast: "Weakness? You insects... have no right to hurt me!"

It took a sudden step forward, cracking the ground and sending debris flying. "Lex gave me power... I will destroy everything!"

Qin Yang wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his gaze turning cold: "Lex? Hmph, he turned you into a monster and made you die for him."

Joel, wake up! You're not human anymore!

Joel roared and swung his fist at Qin Yang, the force of the punch tearing through the air with destructive power.

Qin Yang dodged to the side, but the fist grazed his shoulder and slammed into the ground, creating a crater half a meter deep.

Taking advantage of the moment, Diana swung her Lasso of Truth, which snagged Joel's right arm, and pulled hard: "Monster! Your anger will only make you more blind!"

Joel roared and turned his head, swinging his left arm violently, tearing the lasso in two. Diana was thrown back several steps and crashed into an abandoned police car, making a piercing metallic scraping sound.

She gritted her teeth and got up, whispering, "Qin Yang, its strength... is even greater than before!"

Qin Yang, panting heavily, glanced around. The streets were deserted, with only the faint shouts of police officers in the distance: "Requesting backup! The city center needs reinforcements! The monster... the monster is still causing destruction!"

"Diana, we have to distract it!"

Qin Yang whispered, "This place is too close to the residential area; we can't let it continue to cause damage!"

Diana nodded, clenching her fist: "I'll draw its attention, you find an opportunity to attack! We can't let it hurt innocent people!"

Qin Yang took a deep breath, a resolute glint in his eyes: "Okay, be careful!"

Diana charged at Joel, shouting, "Monster! I'm your opponent!"

She leaped up and punched Joel in the chest with a dull thud.

Joel roared and swung his hand back to grab it, but Diana nimbly flipped over to dodge and then kicked its knee, trying to make it lose its balance.

At the same time, Qin Yang circled behind Joel, his eyes flashing red, and his thermal vision unleashed its full power, shooting two blazing red beams toward Joel's back.

Joel's skin sizzled and emitted black smoke, but he only roared and turned to punch Qin Yang.

Qin Yang crossed his arms in front of him to block the blow, but was sent flying more than ten meters away, crashing through a shop window and landing in the shattered glass.

"Qin Yang!"

Diana cried out and rushed toward the store, but Joel had already pounced on her, his huge hand grabbing at the back of her neck.

Diana suddenly ducked, rolled to the side, drew her Amazonian dagger from her waist, and stabbed Joel in the calf.

The sword slashed through her skin, and green blood spurted out, but the wound healed instantly. Joel didn't care and kicked Diana.

Diana raised her sword to block, but was knocked back, and the short sword broke in two.

She gritted her teeth and threw away the broken sword, whispering, "Qin Yang, this thing... is impossible to kill!"

Qin Yang climbed out of the rubble, the sharp pain in his ribs making him wince.

He gasped for breath, “Diana, hang in there! Its regenerative abilities have a limit; we have to exhaust its energy!”

Joel sneered and stepped forward, the ground trembling beneath his feet: "Exhausted? You ants can't even break my skin!"

It leaped up suddenly, slammed its fists into the ground, and the shockwave swept outwards, shattering nearby streetlights and sending sparks flying.

Qin Yang grabbed Diana and leaped behind an overturned truck. The shockwave grazed their bodies, kicking up a cloud of dust.

He breathed heavily in a low voice, "Diana, have you noticed? Its attacks are getting more and more ferocious, but... it seems to be losing some of its strategy."

Diana wiped the dust off her face, a glint of light flashing in her eyes: "You mean, it's losing its mind? Maybe we can use that!"

Qin Yang nodded, his gaze sweeping towards the distant horizon, then suddenly frowned: "Wait...did you hear that? The sound of a helicopter?"

Diana listened intently and, sure enough, heard the roar of propellers approaching from afar.

She frowned and said, "The army? What are they doing here?"

Qin Yang's face darkened: "This is bad... It's possible that the Lex Group's affairs have been exposed, and the military has come to clean up the scene."

"Diana, we have to hurry, we can't let them interfere!"

Meanwhile, in the Seventh Military District's operations room, Colonel Ryan stood in front of a huge tactical screen, which displayed real-time footage of downtown Metropolis: the streets were in ruins, and the battle between Joel, Qin Yang, and Diana resembled an apocalyptic scene.

The atmosphere in the operations room was tense, with technicians busily typing on keyboards and analyzing data.

"Colonel, Eagle One, Two, and Three have entered the metropolitan airspace and are expected to arrive at their target area in five minutes."

A secretary hurried over and reported in a low voice, "The weapon systems are all unlocked. The pilot requests final instructions."

Colonel Ryan's gaze was cold and stern as he said in a deep voice, "Tell them that the target is that green monster, as well as the two vigilantes involved in the battle."

Priority: Eliminate the target, protect the city.

The use of thermal weapons, including anti-tank missiles, is permitted.

do you understand? "

The secretary nodded and quickly issued instructions into the headset: "Eagle Squad, target confirmed. All firearms are permitted. Prioritize eliminating the green monster and the two vigilantes."

Repeat: Prioritize eliminating all targets!

Another officer in the operations room frowned and whispered, "Colonel, vigilantes? They seem to be stopping that monster. Are we sure we should eliminate them as well?"

Colonel Ryan scoffed: "Vigilantes? They're nothing but self-important troublemakers."

The chaos in the metropolis has made national news, and the president himself has intervened. I cannot allow any uncertainty to remain.

Execute the command!

The officer hesitated for a moment, then finally bowed his head: "Yes, Colonel."

Three armed helicopters roared overhead. Inside the cabin, the pilots gripped the control sticks, and the command center's instructions came through their headsets: "Eagle One, target on Third Avenue in the city center. The green monster is highly dangerous. You are authorized to use heat-seeking missiles."

Note that there are two police officers present at the scene; they are also priority targets.

"Received, command."

The pilot of Eagle One said in a deep voice, "Target locked, prepare for launch."

The co-pilot glanced at the dashboard and whispered, "Captain, these two vigilantes... don't look like enemies."

They're locked in combat with a monster; are we sure we want to kill them all too? (End of Chapter)
