Superman's Ending Manual

Chapter 155 Blue Owl x Qi An Cultist x Super Hero Team
Late at night, in the rainbow-lit commercial district.

The blue owl sat on the fence of the exhibition stand of the Beijing Ring Tower, playing with its mobile phone with its leather-covered fingers, and the beak on its helmet extended downward.

The red and blue combat uniform he was wearing was almost dyed the same color as the night, but it was still bright and dazzling, as if every corner was flashing a dim halo.

I looked away from my phone, lowered my eyes behind the lenses, and looked down at the brightly lit commercial district. The traffic was like a long line, the streets were noisy, and mixed with one or two clichéd advertising slogans, it made my ears calloused.

Gazing further away, the skyscraper that symbolizes the Super Hero Association stands out from the crowd, towering tall under the dark sky like a giant holding a torch.

A huge blue and white logo "SHA" (abbreviation for SuperHero Association) is embedded in the upper middle part of the high-rise building. Every English word shines brightly in the night, spreading fluorescent lights with a futuristic sense of technology.

At the very top, a searchlight projected the logo of the Superhero Association into the night sky, above the clouds, as if warning the criminals who were ready to act in the dark.

After a moment, the hustle and bustle of the city was broken by a sudden noise.

Blue Owl raised his eyebrows and turned his head to look.

Suddenly, a riot broke out in the church in the distance, and then a raging fire rose up, and in an instant it engulfed the dome of the church like a devil.

Then, the siren of a police car rang into my ears.

Police cars, flashing red and blue lights, shuttled through the streets, followed by fire trucks, with high-pressure water cannons ready.

"The church... Recently there seems to be a criminal who specializes in attacking churches, called the 'Qian Cultist'."

Blue Owl looked at the church engulfed in flames, lowered his head slightly, and used his spare phone to check the wanted list on the Super Hero Association's official website.

As a result, the bird's beak on the helmet poked the screen again and damaged the phone film.

"Hey, I'm really convinced... I really want to cut this damn thing off. Why did I dig a hole for myself in the first place?"

He sighed, tilting his head slightly higher to prevent this from happening again, and complained softly as he reached out to touch the bird's beak.

"Let's go, join in the fun, maybe we can run into Dad."

Thinking of this, Blue Owl put away his spare phone, slid down the ladder of the tower, and leaned forward suddenly ten meters above. He stepped on the safety ladder and fell from the sky to the top of the security room of a nearby park.

In the security room, the security guard who was dozing on the table suddenly woke up, and the light bulb above his head flickered. He raised his eyes from his arms and saw a red and blue figure falling to the entrance of the park and rushing to the street.

Then, the blue owl ran towards the church like a cheetah, shuttling through the center of the bustling city.

The passing traffic and the crowds of people served as a backdrop, embellishing his swift and fierce figure.

At this speed, he arrived at the church in no time.

At this moment, on the lawn outside the church, the police started a game with a muscular weirdo wearing Christian robes and with cross tattoos all over his body.

Blue Owl looked at the strange man through the lenses, and his information panel appeared in his eyes.

[Character Code: Qi'an Cultist]

[Character name: Etef Sar]

[Danger Level: D++]

[Character introduction: A heretic who was exiled by Christianity for abusing his supernatural powers and killing innocent people in the name of the Lord. He is currently obsessed with revenge against Christians around the world. ]

The police raised their pistols and calmly pulled the trigger at the "Qianan believers" who were charging forward. The bullet flew out of the gun barrel, carrying strong kinetic energy and violently shooting towards the Qian believers.

boom!
boom!
boom!
A series of gunshots tore through the night, and bullets responded.

However, the Qi'an believer only needed to raise his right arm, and the cross tattoo on his body would instantly emit a sacred glow.

Then a cross formed by holy light appeared in front of him, blocking all the bullets like a shield.

He stepped out from the lawn and his figure suddenly burst out, shooting towards the police like a cannonball.

Under the policemen's horrified and dazed gaze, the Qi'an believer raised the huge holy cross and smashed it towards the policeman's head like a hammer.

If things went as expected, the blow would have smashed the policeman's brains out, leaving no trace of his body.

But upon seeing this, Blue Owl quickly rushed forward, released "Phase Shift" to exchange positions with the policeman, and at the same time wrapped a metal glove on his right hand.

At this moment, violent arcs of electricity and blazing flames appeared on the surface of the gloves at the same time.

Lightning and flames intertwined, a deep blue arc flashed across the corner of his eyes, and his right fist smashed forward, meeting the Holy Light Cross that was coming towards him.

boom!
There was a deafening roar, accompanied by a sharp wind blowing across the cheek.

The blue owl was knocked back two or three meters, and its legs left a groove on the ground.
The body of the Qi'an believer was knocked five or six meters away and fell slightly on the grass.

"Superheroes...superheroes, superheroes! There are superheroes everywhere! It's because of you meddling people that I live in such fear."

The Qi'an believer frowned and growled in a stern manner.

"Oh, if you are my fan, then you know that I said in the interview that I am not a superhero yet. Aren't you misunderstanding me a bit too much?"

Blue Owl slowly stood up and replied in English in a calm tone.

"Why stop me? I'm just seeking revenge on those who betrayed me."

Blue Owl spread his hands and said sarcastically, "To be honest, I am protecting you. If you run into a big crow, your fate will definitely be worse than running into me."

"Without further ado--!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Qi'an believer suddenly swung up the Holy Cross on the lawn, and like a martyr, he recited the words of the Bible while rushing towards the blue owl.

Seeing this, the blue owl leaned forward slightly and raised its right arm like a bullfight, as if dragging a non-existent red cape.

call!
Then, at the moment when the Qi'an believers rushed over, he slightly turned sideways to avoid the blow of the cross.

The cross shining with holy light passed by the figure of the blue owl.

But the Qi'an believer was quick and swift. He spun his strong body in a circle to gather strength, and the Holy Light Cross held in both hands raised a whistling wind like an axe, spinning in the air and shaking towards the silhouette of the blue owl.

The blue owl narrowed its eyes slightly, and while retreating, it raised its right arm and pressed its elbow against the middle of the Holy Cross, and raised the five fingers of its left hand to wrap around the upper edge of the cross.

With this posture, a hidden force is exerted from the middle and upper parts of the body to share the powerful force applied to the cross.

However, his figure was still knocked away.

click!
Blue Owl's elbow twisted slightly under the huge force, and its bones were broken.

The red and blue figure rolled several times on the lawn, and finally turned over in the air, grabbing the grass with both hands to stop its momentum, and its legs drew muddy grooves on the ground.

The light from the fire rising from the church shone over him, illuminating his figure and the messy lawn.

At this moment, taking advantage of the gap between the battle between the Blue Owl and the Qi'an believers, the firefighters rushed down from the fire truck, raised the high-pressure water pipes and sprayed water towards the church.

On the lawn, as soon as the blue owl stood up, the Qi'an believer chased after it like a mad dog. He approached and swung the Holy Cross at the blue owl.

The Blue Owl was beaten back step by step and kept retreating, dodging the fierce attacks of the Qi'an believers, and its feet almost wiped out all the green on the lawn.

If he encountered a situation that he could not avoid, he would raise his good hands and use a gentle force to resist the attacks of the Qi'an believers, using his ten fingers and palms to share the force applied from the cross.

He was unable to launch a counterattack, and could only barely block the force of the cross before his body was knocked back several meters.

To be honest, if the player is "Failed Man", it would be more than enough to beat up this psychic above his level.

But he is just Blue Owl: a fledgling superhero who has to suffer setbacks in order to maintain his character. Moreover, there are still many equipment and abilities that he cannot use, and he can only exert 40% to 50% of his strength.

Even though Blue Owl had been taking a beating, he was still able to handle it with ease.

There was a reason for this: during the battle, he raised his eyes and suddenly caught a glimpse of a figure on the church spire out of the corner of his eye.

The figure was covered in a pitch-black cloak, with a bird's beak extending forward like a sharp blade, and slightly narrowed deep eyes that seemed to be able to see through the darkness.

The dark figure was dyed red by the fire in the church, and the hot breeze from the sea of ​​fire blew his cloak. But he still stood still on the spire like a demon statue.

Blue Owl didn't quite understand why Blue Crow didn't take action. Perhaps he was testing his strength.

To be honest, it was quite embarrassing to be seen by Qing Ya getting beaten, but there was nothing I could do. I could only let things take their course and pretend I didn't know.

I guess from the perspective of this terrifying upright crow, his fight with the Qi'an believers was just like two kindergarten kids rolling and pushing each other on the playground, and he could stop them at any time.

"Haha, my dad is supervising the battle here. If you have the guts, hit me harder. It's better to take off my mask."

As the blue owl thought about it, it reacted quickly and rolled on the grass to avoid the sudden attack of the Qi'an believers, then rushed towards the church.

Fighting is not his strong point, running away is.

Seeing that he was so close to the Qi'an believers, the policemen were afraid to pull the trigger for fear of accidentally hurting the young man who had just saved their companion.

But at this moment, suddenly a bunch of bird feathers shot out from the night sky, and swooped down on the Qi'an believer like a rain of pear blossoms, pressing his body down on the lawn.

The silver-white bird feathers were as strong and sharp as blades, piercing deeply into the ground, and even faintly shaking the holy cross that the Qi'an believers were protecting in front of them.

The blue owl couldn't see clearly at first and thought it was a bullet. It was only until the bird feather hit the ground that it realized it was a feather.

"Dad would use this kind of move? That's unlikely."

When the blue owl heard the noise, he turned his head while thinking and looked up at the sky behind him from behind the lens.

A young man with a pair of giant eagle wings on his back was seen flapping his wings and hovering in the night sky. He was hugging his shoulders, wearing a silver superhero uniform and a bird feather mask on his face.

Those knife-like bird feathers shot out from his wings.

The frequency of shooting is comparable to that of a submachine gun, and it is a submachine gun with a greatly improved sweeping range.

[Character Code: Platinum Wings]

[Character name: An Incheon]

[Strength rating: D++]

[Character introduction: He was once a young man with disabled legs, but two years ago, for unknown reasons, he underwent a genetic mutation and grew a pair of huge wings under his shoulder blades, thus becoming a mutant. Half a month ago, he joined the Super Hero Association and became a superhero.]

"Hey, you okay?"

The superhero codenamed "Platinum Wings" asked Blue Owl while flapping his wings and shooting bird feathers at the Qi'an believers.

"Still alive." Blue Owl observed the battle situation and asked, "Are you alone?"

Platinum Wing shook his head: "No, I still have two teammates."

At this moment, the Qi'an believer's leg muscles bulged, and he exerted force suddenly, raising the Holy Cross from the layers of bird feathers with a roar. He then swung his right arm and threw the cross towards the platinum wings in the sky.

Clang, clang, clang—!
The high-speed rotating cross cut through all the bird feathers like a giant boomerang and shot straight towards the Platinum Wings.

His face was calm, and he just stood there in mid-air with his arms folded, seemingly indifferent.

But the next moment, an invisible blue force suddenly enveloped the Holy Cross and stopped it in mid-air.

Blue Owl turned his head and saw a woman in nun's clothes coming out from the church. She was holding a crying child in one hand and raising her other hand towards the Holy Cross.

Her eyes were filled with blue light, and it seemed that the telekinesis was exerted by her.

[Character Code: Telekinetic Sister]

[Character name: Xia Jinlan]

[Strength rating: C]

[Character introduction: A nun with telekinetic powers, who received an invitation from the Superhero Association two months ago and became a superhero, but is often absent from various missions.]

The Qi An believer was breathing heavily, and the tattoos on his body gradually emitted a flickering holy light. He wanted to create a cross again, but was knocked to the lawn by a figure rushing out of the darkness.

Immediately afterwards, a dark blue mechanical electric saw, rotating at high speed, was pressed against the neck of the Qi'an cultist, as if it could cut his lifeline at any time.

The blue owl was stunned for half a second.

Looking closely, I saw that the chainsaw was connected to the right arm of the figure. The uninvited guest was wearing a motorcycle jacket and had a scar on his right cheek that ran from the corner of his eye to the edge of his lip.

He looked at this scene and raised his eyebrows slightly, thinking that this thing looked too familiar. Isn't this the method used by the mechanical cyborg Lester, who transformed his right hand into a chainsaw?

[Character Code: Mechanical Pioneer - Ikarot]

[Character name: Haytham Mills]

[Strength rating: C+]

【Character introduction:
After the vigilante "Blue Owl" defeated the cyborg "Lester", the Control Bureau recovered Lester and obtained the experimental data on Lester.

The next day, the Control Bureau used a prisoner named "Hailsham" who was about to be executed that day as an experimental sample. They erased his memory, turned him into a mechanical cyborg through a modified experiment, and sent him to the Super Hero Association, registering his hero file under the name "Mechanical Pioneer - Ikarot".

Therefore, Haytham seems to be participating in the work of protecting the people as a superhero, but in fact he is stationed inside the Superhero Association as an eyeliner of the Control Bureau. 】

"I rely on..."

The blue owl was stunned, then tilted its head and beak, thinking secretly in its heart.

"What kind of people are in the Control Bureau? Do they have to be so efficient? They have already created a 'tool hero' using the sample I captured?"

　Please give me a monthly ticket——!
