American comics: Random transformations

Instantly, the surrounding hundreds of miles experienced terrifying earth-shattering tremors, and this was the result of the Thunder Giant deliberately holding back its strength.

The gods watching the battle all turned pale with fright. They believed that they couldn't withstand this move, nor could they escape its attack range.

Zeus, as expected of a God-King, had a wealth of combat experience. His transformed falcon, enhanced by divine power, was so fast that it was impossible to see clearly.

When he reappeared in his God-King form, Zeus had already run to the group of gods watching the battle.

After tidying up his appearance, he still maintained his arrogant, high-and-mighty demeanor, displaying his so-called God-King majesty.

"You, the evil god from another world, listen to me! This is our gods' territory. Leave here immediately, or we, all the gods, will definitely join forces and kill you here!"

Zeus's shameless behavior stunned the surrounding gods. They all took a step back in fear, instantly making Zeus the center of attention.

What do you mean 'we will attack'? What a joke! The opponent is clearly much stronger than us. Charging up at this time is just courting death!

Zeus was enraged by the gods' reaction and roared at them:

"What are you afraid of! He's not that strong. He's much weaker than Darkseid. You're not afraid of Darkseid, so why are you afraid of him!"

"Zeus, the power of us is not recovering as much as you think. The aftershock of your battle could kill us. How about we run away?"

"Silence! This is outrageous! You! You are simply disgracing Olympus…"

The god who had just answered Zeus shrank his neck.

"…"

The opponent suddenly started arguing, although Xiao Ban wasn't particularly clear about the reason for the argument.

However, Red Ace Xiao Ban naturally wouldn't stand there foolishly. He raised his right fist, and the giant followed suit, retracting and accumulating power, aiming at the group of arguing gods!

"Nine million nine hundred and ninety-nine thousand volts! Thunder Giant Soldier · Knight Punch!"

The fist force erupted violently, and a thunder dragon composed of lightning roared, rushing towards the gods at lightning speed.

On top of the thunder dragon's head stood a palm-sized alien mantis! The little mantis would cut through the gods' various defenses first, and then allow the dragon's power to fully erupt.

The thunder dragon, which clearly wasn't to be trifled with, rushed towards them, scaring the gods into scattering and fleeing. The fastest to run was that old guy Zeus.

Before leaving, he even left a harsh sentence: "Evil god, you wait! Tomorrow, I will represent the gods and kill you!"

The dragon-shaped fist force, controlled by Red Ace, attacked the eagle that could speak human language and was flying at ultra-high speed. It was Zeus who had transformed after uttering his harsh words.

The lightning-composed dragon easily caught up with the flying eagle. The dragon's head fiercely bit the eagle's belly. In the next instant, light flashed, creating a spectacular scene comparable to a nuclear explosion.

"Boom!"

"No, Zeus!" × N

"Ah! God-King!" × N

The shockwave of the explosion spread wildly in circles. A huge mushroom cloud rose up, and even the weak demigods were blown away by the terrifying shockwave.

Ten minutes later, the explosion had ended. Although the scene was still filled with smoke and dust, these gods weren't really useless. They just used a little divine power to disperse the thick fog in front of them.

Zeus wasn't dead. He used up his last remaining divine power to resist the terrifying explosion just now.

The good news was that Zeus had successfully blocked the explosion, and he wasn't injured at all; the bad news was that his divine power was almost completely burned out!

However, Zeus was putting on a strong front, trying his best to conceal his outward strength but inner weakness.

Zeus was really afraid that someone would kill him during this time and take the position of God-King! Just like the curse of the God-King, his youngest child would have the ability to kill him.

Some were happy, some were worried.

The weak gods were pleasantly surprised that Zeus hadn't died, thinking that Zeus was indeed Zeus, and even that hadn't killed him.

Those gods who were more familiar with Zeus were secretly rejoicing. Zeus's pretenses showed that he was very weak. Zeus becoming weaker meant that they were becoming stronger. They could find an opportunity to stab Zeus in the kidneys.

There were a lot of gods in Olympus who had grudges against Zeus. With such a good opportunity, of course, they would repay grudges and settle scores.

The worried one was the Goddess of Wisdom. She knew that Zeus should be at his limit. Having consumed so much divine power in a short period, Zeus definitely wouldn't recover so quickly. Everything Zeus was showing now was just a bubble that could be burst at any time.

This was a very bad signal. At that time, the war would change from gods versus mortals to gods versus gods. The Earth couldn't withstand this kind of combat loss.

… …

Red Ace wanted to continue, but his transformation time was up!

The dial rang twice, and Tian Xiaoban transformed back. Deactivating the transformation in the high altitude meant he could only fall down.

However, the white aura erupting from his body allowed him to slowly float down using the Art of Levitation.

"Seriously, I was just getting into it, and the time's up. How disappointing! Hey, Zeus! You got a lucky escape."

Tian Xiaoban shouted loudly, and all the gods present heard him.

Zeus cursed the evil god's unreasonableness in his heart, but on the surface, he still maintained a very calm expression.

Seeing that the opponent had turned back into a mortal, Zeus carefully examined Tian Xiaoban's expression and felt that Tian Xiaoban shouldn't want to fight anymore.

So, he also landed gracefully. Zeus secretly sent a message, asking the other gods to take him away. He didn't even have the divine power to fly himself now.

He urgently needed to return to the Pantheon.

Even if it was a semi-finished Pantheon, he still wanted to absorb some power of faith to recover his losses.

As for the other weak gods, they had already run away when the dragon-shaped fist force came over. The remaining gods also hurriedly left the scene.

This mountain range returned to its deserted state.

… … … … … … … … … … … …

Back in the train, Tian Xiaoban's mood was still very good.

Good in every sense of the word. He had beaten up Zeus, who was considered relatively strong in this world, to the point where he didn't dare to say harsh words. It was a pity that he hadn't had enough fun.

If the other gods watching the show could be more proactive and jump out to be beaten by him, that would be even better.

But unfortunately, these gods were all relatively shrewd. To put it another way, they were relatively cowardly. They felt that if Zeus couldn't beat the character, they certainly couldn't beat him, so they might as well stay quietly on the side, so as not to get beaten.

There were also gains, of course. In the battle with Zeus, Tian Xiaoban had a new development direction for the electric current propulsion he had trained. The Kamen Rider's Rider Punch, this kind of punch with explosive power, was really satisfying to hit people with.

And the most interesting thing was that the operating method of this power was as promising as the Rasengan. Whether it was electric current propulsion or the qi on his body, he could use this method.

"This energy operation method is really exciting! A jack-of-all-trades skill that any character with limbs can use. Very good."

Just as Tian Xiaoban was secretly complacent, Superman from Metropolis came.

His super hearing had long heard the commotion here, and with super vision for long-range observation, he had personally watched Zeus suffer at the hands of this train's owner.

"Excuse me, sir, can you come out and chat? I'm Superman from Metropolis."

Generally speaking, as long as they were people from this Earth, after hearing Superman's words, no matter how dangerous it was, they would rush out of the cellar, basement, or any place where people could hide, and cling to this golden thigh that protected humanity.

But unfortunately, Tian Xiaoban wasn't that kind of person.

He walked out of the train, looking at Superman impatiently: "Go back, I really just passed by here, please don't bother me, thank you."

"Sir!" Superman was a little anxious. He quickly walked to Tian Xiaoban's face, looking at Tian Xiaoban's eyes with a sincere expression:

"Sir, this world needs more heroes! I saw your combat power, very powerful, are you willing to join us and protect the future of mankind together? The feelings those gods gave you were not good, right. You don't want to see the people of this world being enslaved by those high and mighty gods, do you!"

Superman's sunny and cheerful face showed a hopeful look, really… very punchable.

Superman believed that Tian Xiaoban, who had just experienced the provocation of the Olympian gods, would be somewhat dissatisfied with those gods. As long as he emphasized the gods' bad attitude and guided Tian Xiaoban, the possibility of him joining Metropolis would be very high.

It's not that Superman is wrong, but... knowing who caused all this, Tian Xiaoban felt that Superman was wasting his time here. Instead of dragging a mortal and wasting time with those gods, it would be more effective to let the Flash restart the timeline sooner.

At this point in time, fighting to the death is completely useless. Even if you win, the world will still be destroyed in the end!

Even if it's not destroyed by the war between gods and humans, it will be destroyed by various bizarre events, such as: alien invasions or encounters with massive meteorites. In short, in this chaotic timeline, the world is seeking death, and no one can save it, not even the future Martial God Flash.

Flashpoint's destruction is inevitable, so Tian Xiaoban doesn't have any psychological pressure when he snatches things from this Flashpoint universe!

Although it's very cruel, this is the idea that Tian Xiaoban had after meeting the future Flash who used the Speed Force.

Even a Flash who can control the Speed Force can't make the Flash world continue perfectly, so why waste time?

Why not take advantage of the world not being destroyed to scavenge a wave of resources, and then let the Flash restart it! Treating this place as an infinitely refreshing dungeon eliminates a lot of psychological pressure.

"Alright, Superman, go do your thing. I'm not interested in this world, really. I'll be leaving in half an hour."

For people like Superman who are struggling to survive, ignorance is actually a kind of happiness.

The Flash, the biggest sinner in the Flashpoint universe, the true source of all evil. Every time Tian Xiaoban sees a Flashpoint universe destined for tragedy, he wants to say like Narutaki: "Damn Flash!"

Oh, perhaps Reverse-Flash should say that. After all, the Flash's tricks for turning the tables always make Reverse-Flash tremble with anger.

Just like Narutaki, who is always hysterically and impotently furious after being passed through parallel universes by Decade.

"Wait!" Superman's super brain worked quickly. Since the other party didn't like moral coercion, Superman immediately changed his approach: "What do you want? Or what do you need? As long as I have it, I can exchange it.

I am willing to exchange what you want for your help!"

This was said very skillfully, giving Tian Xiaoban a way out while blurring the boundaries.

After all, Superman had just used the moral coercion tactic, wanting to pressure him with the righteousness of human freedom, but it obviously had the opposite effect, the boundaries became stronger, and the other party went from being willing to communicate to not wanting to talk.

This was not good, a cold reception would only lead to a breakup, so Superman directly switched to bribery.

You can name your conditions, but I want you to help.

Tian Xiaoban considered it and agreed.

He would let Superman and the others find the metal, and he would help them resist those gods. Killing the gods might be difficult, but Tian Xiaoban felt that blocking them was quite easy.

Chapter 192: Entering the City and Meeting

With the speed of the train, Tian Xiaoban and Superman arrived above Metropolis in a few minutes.

"What amazing technology. Can we study this train for a while? I can exchange it for our newly researched weapon data, or other production materials..."

The speed of this train has exceeded that of Earth's fighter jets, especially since this train can also transport people. If Metropolis could replicate it, then those gods wouldn't be able to catch up with their escape speed.

Superman used his X-ray vision to constantly record the train's structure. Except for the control panel at the front of the train, which was like being covered with several layers of protection, comparable to the lead plates he couldn't see through.

But the other parts of the train were still recorded by him, including the technology of using energy to convert into energy barriers.

Tian Xiaoban generously agreed, because he knew that even if all this information was leaked to Metropolis, these people would not be able to create a usable product before Earth was finished.

"Sure, you can study it as you like before I leave, just don't take it apart and not be able to put the train back together, that would be troublesome."

"Thank you, sir." Superman showed a grateful look again. In short, as long as Tian Xiaoban could help the people of Metropolis, Superman would feel like he was an angel.

The train entered Metropolis. The current Metropolis can be said to be a super fortress made of steel, with the design drawings proposed by Cyborg, and Superman and a large number of mortals working together to build it.

A thick metal wall has been erected around the city, with tens of thousands of turrets emitting blue light installed on the wall.

There are also a large number of mechanical soldiers patrolling around the city.

Looking at this magnificent scene, Tian Xiaoban couldn't help but sigh: "Amazing! This kind of defense can even fight off a zombie siege!" In fact, he was also indirectly mocking that this thing was just a facade project, good-looking but useless.

"Uh." Superman smiled awkwardly: "Ah haha, these are all things we rushed to build, um, relatively crude, but this wall can indeed effectively resist those demigods and the forces below demigods. If a god comes to attack the city, then Cyborg and I, as well as some superhumans in the city, will stand up to resist the god."

Tian Xiaoban nodded: "The idea is pretty good. However, in my opinion, these are meaningless! If you are strong enough, you alone can directly kill the descended Olympian gods. If those gods are all dead, then the tribes they manage will no longer dare to offend this place.

Although these gods will not die too cleanly, and may be resurrected after a long period of faith supply, killing them is much easier than resisting them."

From Tian Xiaoban's point of view, instead of spending time and effort to build such a large-scale metal wall, it would be better to find a way to build a tool that can condense sunlight, allowing solar energy to be directly concentrated, charging Superman a hundred times over.

As long as Superman has enough sunlight, he can continue to become stronger. After he has enough energy, he is invincible! Even a god can't stop a punch from a charged-up Superman!

However, it is obvious that the Superman here is relatively simple-minded, only thinking about the present and not having too long-term considerations. His understanding of himself is not clear enough.

"Ah?" Superman was also confused by what Tian Xiaoban said, pointing to his own nose and saying somewhat suspiciously: "Me? Let me kill those gods?

Sir, are you misunderstanding my power? I have fought gods before. Several times before, I fought against that demigoddess named Diana. I can't even beat her, let alone the other gods."

Tian Xiaoban: "...You picked the strongest one from a group of outwardly strong but inwardly weak gods to fight? No wonder you don't have an understanding of your own power!"

Wonder Woman fighting Superman, Superman can't win without cheating.

It's not that Superman's Kryptonian power can't suppress Wonder Woman and defeat her. But it's because of Superman's own problem, it's his personality that makes him unable to beat Wonder Woman.

"Outwardly strong but inwardly weak?" Superman expressed his incomprehension.

"You should have seen my battle with Zeus, right? If Zeus had really recovered all his strength, then he should have continued to attack when I returned to my mortal form!

But look at them, each one of them ran faster than Bugs Bunny. It's conceivable that compared to my combat power when I transformed, they are not stronger than I was at that time. Otherwise, according to the personalities of those gods, they would definitely take advantage of my weakness to eliminate me.

I have also read mythology stories, and according to the descriptions in mythology, Zeus shouldn't be so weak."

Especially since the giant that Zeus transformed into was so fragile, Tian Xiaoban seriously suspected that those gods must not have recovered. Moreover, Zeus didn't even use his divine weapon, which is completely unreasonable. He put on a brave face even after losing, which is enough to show that this guy Zeus has not been convinced.
