Superman from the comics: Starting with the Black Robe

Chapter 476 The Guardians' March

Regardless of whether Batman's guess about Jor-El is correct, Old Deng's inflammatory actions have reached an intolerable level.

"Damn it! What does he take people for?!"

Joey had nowhere to vent his anger at this moment—mainly because he cared about his reputation. If he were shameless enough, the Kryptonians hadn't been gone for long, and he could still catch up with Old Deng and beat him to death.

However, neither he nor anyone else had any such extra thoughts at this moment.

The pressure no longer comes from the outside, but from within.

The collision between two universes is actually an overlap between spaces. Before the entire planets collide completely, the sight of the two spheres meeting can only be seen at the collision points of New York and Metropolis.

Therefore, it was entirely feasible for Tony and Joey to block the news, handle the situation on a small scale, and find a way to survive.

But now, with Joe Al's erratic actions, everything has changed.

All the superheroes who initially trusted each other will face an ultimate dilemma from their own world: why not just destroy each other's universe?

Steel and Tony, who had taken immediate control of the situation, were facing this very challenge.

"Step back! Ross, and you too, Roddy, you step back, don't come over and try to get close!"

Tony, who had just returned to Earth after performing a minor operation on the sun, was surprised to find that the authorities and military, who were usually slow to react, arrived much faster this time.

Given his position, he would naturally lean towards the authorities, but as long as he's not completely out of his mind, he wouldn't hand over the right to launch this weapon to a bunch of people who don't need to think.

But he knew he couldn't maintain this stance for long; in this situation, preventing others from activating this superweapon would be putting him at odds with the entire world.

"You're the one who should step back, Tony. This is New York, not your private property!"

General Ross, standing on the tank, had long been annoyed with Iron Man. Moreover, the situation was urgent. Even if it was his own father blocking the way, let alone Iron Man, he would still have to use the cannon to clear the way: "Last warning, Tony, either get out of the way or prepare to be shot!"

Given the current tense situation, it's likely that the two sides will clash within minutes.

Cyborg wasn't having an easy time either. After a brief standoff, most of the flying Martians silently retreated. Seeing that Cyborg had lost most of the Martians, he couldn't relax at all, because he knew that this wasn't a retreat, but rather an attempt to unleash their power from another direction.

These Martians have been disguised as high-ranking members of human society on Earth for a long time, and the will of the upper echelons of North America is in fact their will.

Sure enough, within minutes, the White House called again, ordering Steelbone to step back and hand over the fallen Sunstone weapon to the authorities.

"Destroying their Earth isn't a good idea—there must be other ways!"

Cyborg's argument seemed somewhat weak at this point, because he knew there were no other good options, and deep down he even felt that he should choose the Martians' approach as well.

"What are you doing?"

At the critical moment, Martian Manhunter Ron Jungs arrived at the scene, appearing directly in his green skin. He waved his hand and rebuked his irrational kin: "Go back and do what I told you to do!"

The Mother Box might be able to solve the immediate crisis, but these Martians have yet to find it.

As the only surviving Martian hunter and the organizer who connected with the Kryptonians to migrate to Earth to preserve the remaining Martians, Ron Juntz's words carried unquestionable authority among the Martian community.

In addition to Martian Manhunter's presence, Superman also hovered high above, forcing the Martians who had been surrounding Cyborg, trying to gain control of the weapons, to retreat.

But this is only the first wave of pressure.

Aside from Martians, the majority of people on Earth are still humans, and soon, pressure from other sources will continue to mount.

"Please don't blame my people for their recklessness."

Martian Hunter looked up at the inverted city of New York in the sky opposite him. The dark expanse made his breathing become heavier: "In such a life-or-death crisis, it's hard for people to remain rational."

Joey didn't expect that although the Martian manhunter in the Flashpoint universe had infiltrated all of North America, he still acted like a good person in the traditional sense.

The fact that he didn't turn against Joey over this matter and rush to destroy Earth shows that Martian Manhunter truly deserves the title of "Hunter on Mars".

"What are you blaming? Blaming their survival instinct to live?"

Joey shook his head, expressing no dissatisfaction with the Martians' quick reaction: "Right now, it's us who haven't kept our rationality, not them."

"They" includes everyone after the collision news was made public.

Almost everyone in these groups could come to the same realistic conclusion: the only way to survive was to destroy the other side's Earth.

On the contrary, those like Joey who are still insisting on finding a win-win solution are truly irrational.

In Joey's view, the military in New York had already locked their fire control radar onto Tony's Iron Legion. They didn't have much time to waste: "Stop lying, Tony! If you had a way, you would have used it already!"

Even Tony's friend War Machine Rhodes advised, "Think it over carefully, Tony. If we don't press that button soon, the other side will!"

This is how a chain of suspicion is formed.

"————"

Iron Man did not respond to Rhodes's questions, but he knew that it was now a dead end.

Superheroes can solve many problems in society, but there are also many problems they can never solve.

With the situation under control on his side, Joey was hesitating whether to go to Tony's side to help control the situation when he noticed that a red sunrise was once again lighting up the edge of the dark sky over New York and the metropolis late at night.

No, this is not some kind of sunrise.

The strange direction and color of this sunlight—this is not sunrise, but another sun approaching these two doomed planets.

Solaris, the Guardians have successfully restarted this artificial planet!

After the Kryptonians withdrew, these little blue people had an unobstructed path from outside the solar system to Earth!
