Chapter 441 Loki's Defeat to General Zod
"Guardian, what happened?"

At the Ministry of Defense, Sam Ryan asked the pilot of the A-10 Thunder with a serious expression.

Sam, who had already received information about the crash of a Thunderbolt, did not care to be shocked and immediately contacted the pilot of another Thunderbolt.

"Thunderbolt 11 has been shot down, and now General Zod seems to be injured. They have been evacuated."

The driver observed the situation at the scene and replied to General Sam.

"Who fought them off?"

Sam Ryan asked the driver urgently, "What happened? Who hurt Zod?"

The driver didn't see Loki's face clearly, and replied vaguely: "It's a green-skinned man, the identities of the other two are unknown, etc."

Soon the driver discovered strange phenomena happening on the ground.

The farm that originally existed on the ground began to slowly disappear.

Like the tide, the green ocean slowly receded and the farm disappeared along with it.

"Guardian, what do you see?"

Sam Ryan heard the driver's shocked voice and continued to ask him.

"The farm. Gone."

Watching General Zod and his men driving away in the spaceship, Loki breathed a sigh of relief and sat down on the ground.

The battle with General Zod just now was extremely exhausting for him. If he hadn't had the assistance of the Iron Man suit and the "Thunder" fighter, he estimated that he would not have been able to defeat General Zod.

If the opponent's oxygen mask had not been destroyed, I don't know what would have happened next.

As Loki sat down on the ground, the farm he projected slowly disappeared.

The real farm in the distance, which he had hidden using illusion, slowly appeared.

She stretched out her hand, touched her arm, and found that her palm was covered with blood.

"You're hurt, Loki."

Martian Manhunter did not chase after General Zod, but immediately squatted down to examine Loki.

"Fortunately, I won't die."

Loki stood up and looked at his skin, which was injured by the Kryptonian's energy gun and gradually turned from normal skin color to blue.

He reached out his hand and released magic at the blue skin.

The blue skin instantly returned to normal.

He knew that as a member of the Frost Clan, his normal skin color was blue.

Martian Manhunter had no idea of ​​Loki's condition, and froze when he saw his arm turn blue.

Looking at Loki's skin, he asked in confusion, "Why is your skin blue, Loki?"

As a Martian, he was a little surprised that Loki's skin turned blue.

"It's a long story, Mr. Jones. If you want to know, I can explain to you the origin of Loki, the God of Mischief. The stories of Loki in countless parallel worlds are all different, and they all have different endings."

Loki shrugged his shoulders and used a rune to stop the bleeding on his arm.

"But our most important thing now is to deal with General Zod, right?"

Martian Manhunter looked at Loki who was pretending to be relaxed and nodded.

He suddenly found that he couldn't quite understand this boy.

The impression that Loki had left on him in the past was that he liked to play pranks and get into trouble.

The deeper feeling is that Loki always gives him a broken sense of loneliness.

People who love to play pranks don't want to be disliked. On the contrary, they hope to attract other people's attention in this way. The same was true for Loki when he was a child.

But today's battle with General Zod made the Martian Hunter realize that Loki was gradually getting rid of this broken loneliness and becoming a man who could take responsibility.

"You did a good job today, kid. If your dad knew what you did today, he would be proud of you."

Martian Manhunter placed his hand on Loki's shoulder and spoke to him with emotion.

Gotham.

After learning from Alfred that Peter and Bruce were both lost near Nahe Island, Raven and Star-Lord immediately rushed here.

"Fujin, didn't you find any trace of Dad?"

Riven whispered to the crow "Fukin" standing on her shoulder.

Raven shook his head at her.

"Well, Fokine, you are now a minor character in the pantomime."

Star-Lord, who was standing next to her, asked her curiously, "What is an inconspicuous character in a pantomime?"

Raven was wearing a purple robe. Her thin body was standing on the street. She looked at the scenery in front of her and said to him, "It's the poem Thirteen Ways of Looking at a Blackbird by the poet Wallace Stevens. Haven't you heard of it?"

Raven recalled and whispered to Star-Lord: "Between twenty snow-covered mountains,

The only moving
The eyes of a crow.

I have three hearts.
Like a tree,
There were three blackbirds,

Blackbirds circle in the autumn wind,

It is a minor character in pantomime.”

-

After that, she sighed and said in a bad mood, "This is the poem my father read to me before I went to bed."

She was getting a little worried now.

If my father really can't be found, I may never be able to experience the experience of my father reading good stories to me by my bedside.

When she thought about the possibility of such a terrible thing happening, she felt that her whole life became dark. "If I can't find my father, I don't know the meaning of my life."

Raven said to Star-Lord in a depressed tone.

Ever since she was old enough to understand, all the happiness in her life has been related to her father.

Seeing Raven's depressed mood, Star-Lord comforted her: "The Raven I know is not such a pessimistic girl."

"Please forgive me for being pessimistic occasionally. I am not always an optimist."

Raven looked at Arkham in the distance, took a deep breath, adjusted her mood, and said to Star-Lord: "Let's go to Arkham Asylum. Mr. Alfred said that Bruce and Dad may have entered here."

Star-Lord looked at the building in the distance and asked her as he walked, "Do you know Arkham?"

"Yes, I know. Dad told me that once."

Raven replied casually, "My father once said: Gotham City is a place of outstanding people and beautiful scenery. Arkham Asylum breeds geniuses. There is the business leader Penguin, the environmental pioneer Poison Ivy, the fair and selfless Two-Face, the city sewer guardian Crocodile, the citizen friend Black Skull, the family role model Mr. Freeze, the philosophical master Scarecrow, the studious Riddler, the orthopedic expert Bane, the model of animal kindness Selina, and the people's doctor Quhali."

Star-Lord was stunned when he heard the names Raven said.

"I only know one Bane, but he was thrown into the sea by my father before. He's an 'orthopedic specialist'. Isn't he a terrorist?"

Star-Lord rubbed his chin, lost in thought.

But he soon reacted.

Bane once broke Bruce's back.

Is this what Dad meant by “orthopedic specialist”?
Thinking of this, Star-Lord immediately became numb.

It turns out that dad was telling a hell of a joke.

And it was a hell of a joke that Bruce was innocently involved in.

Raven didn't know about Peter's hellish joke, nor did she notice the strange expression on Star-Lord's face. She quickened her pace without saying a word.

The two soon arrived in Arkham.

Standing outside the door, looking at Arkham with its door half open, Riven looked inside.

There was total silence, as if there was no one in this insane asylum.

After looking at each other, the two walked into the asylum.

After passing through the control room of the mental hospital, I still didn't see any human figure.

Riven released the crow Fujin and asked it to look for anyone.

"It looked as if there was no one in the whole asylum."

Raven asked confused.

Star-Lord also had a question mark on his face.

The computer in the control room was still on, but the people were gone.

The hallway was in a mess, as if there had been a riot.

Star-Lord even suspected that all the staff of the asylum were kidnapped by the rioting criminals.

He was wondering if it was a kidnapping issue when he suddenly heard chaotic footsteps coming from outside.

A group of strong men in suits came in from outside the asylum.

The strong men, who didn't know the situation in the asylum, were stunned when they saw Raven and Star-Lord in the corridor.

But the uninvited guests who came in quickly reacted, pulled out their guns and pointed them at the two men, "Don't move!"

Seeing these guys pulling out pistols, Riven's brows immediately frowned, "Who are you?"

“That’s the question I should ask.”

A slightly sharp voice sounded.

Behind the burly man in the suit, a short and fat figure holding a black umbrella slowly walked out.

The Penguin walked out and looked at Raven and Star-Lord in front of him. After sizing them up, he asked, "Why are you here? Where are the other people in the asylum?"

After receiving the news of the riot in the mental hospital, he came to check on a few old friends. Unexpectedly, he didn't see even the shadow of a ghost, but only saw two strange guys in front of him.

"Actually, I hate having a gun pointed at me."

Star-Lord looked at the Penguin in front of him and said unhappily.

Glancing at Ruiwen, he asked her, "Riven, do you like it?"

Raven quickly understood what Star-Lord meant. She shook her head and said, "No, I don't like it."

As soon as he finished speaking, Star-Lord suddenly exploded and kicked the strong man next to him away in an instant.

Riven also released magical energy, knocking the thugs next to her away.

Seeing the two men fighting, the gunman immediately pulled the trigger directly at them.

With a "bang", the bullet hit the monitor in the control room.

Riven dodged in advance and avoided the bullet.

The screen that was hit made a loud "bang" sound, followed by countless electric sparks.

Moving to the side of the thug, Riven released purple magical energy and hit the opponent.

With a "bang", the gunman, who was hit hard on the chest, fell heavily against the wall.

Riven's eyes turned purple, and she controlled a ball of black magical energy, drilling into the crowd like a long snake, knocking down everyone she came into contact with.

Star-Lord took out his elemental gun and shot.

Accompanied by screams, the thugs' hands holding the guns were instantly pierced by the elemental guns.

As blood splattered, the pistol was thrown to the ground.
