Chapter 366 Scientists are Krypton's strongest military force

High above Metropolis, Bruce was piloting the Batplane in a fierce battle against several Kryptonian ships.

Apart from Fiora, other Kryptonians have not yet mastered the ability to fly and can only rely on these small spaceships for interception.

The energy cannons intertwined to form a dense barrage, relentlessly strafing the tail of the bat fighter jet.

Bruce slammed the control stick down, and the Batplane plummeted at a near-vertical angle, two energy beams grazing the canopy.

Using the momentum of his dive, he pulled the trigger. The massive cannon at the bottom of his... no, the bat-fighter, quickly charged up, and a white energy beam pierced through the nearest Kryptonian ship, which exploded in mid-air, its wreckage trailing black smoke as it fell in all directions.

Before they could even feel relieved, two energy cannons simultaneously struck the right wing of the bat fighter.

The fuselage shook violently, the fighter jet began to tilt to the right, and the stall warning beeped shrilly.

Bruce gripped the control stick tightly with both hands, barely managing to pull the nose of the plane back to level.

However, the Bat fighter jet was already severely damaged, with a leaking hydraulic system and a sharp drop in engine power, making it unable to withstand high-intensity maneuvers.

As the remaining Kryptonian ships closed in, Bruce gritted his teeth, preparing for a desperate fight.

Just then, an extremely arrogant voice suddenly came from below.

"Who else!?"

His tone carried an innate air of smugness.

Upon hearing this sound, the Kryptonian spaceships that had formed an encirclement suddenly froze.

The next second, they suddenly changed direction, sped up their engines, and raced headlong toward the direction from which the sound came.

In the blink of an eye, the airspace that was once filled with gunfire became completely clean, with not even a single Kryptonian ship left behind.

Bruce was left alone in the rickety Batplane, looking completely bewildered.

What's going on?

Bruce quickly regained his senses and didn't waste this golden opportunity, immediately maneuvering the Batfighter toward the World Engine.

But as soon as it got close, the Bat fighter suddenly went out of control, all the values ​​on the dial jumped wildly, and the pointer swung back and forth erratically.

Fortunately, Bruce reacted quickly, creating distance and hovering at the edge of the gravitational field, thus avoiding a crash.

Bruce frowned and observed for a moment before contacting Clark through the chat group in his mind.

Superman's brain: Clark, a strong gravitational field has been generated around the World Engines, preventing fighter jets from getting close. One of the World Engines must be destroyed to cut off the energy loop before the gravitational field will disappear.

Superman's Body: I'm in trouble. The world engine here is the main device, equipped with a nanoscale automatic counterattack system, and there are two Kryptonian soldiers stationed here. I can't get close.

Superman's Brain: Time is running out. You must destroy it as soon as possible, or the entire Metropolis will cease to exist.

Superman's body: I ​​know, but...

Superman's Brain: Oh right, I think I just saw Lois Lane, a reporter from the Daily Planet, in downtown Metropolis.

Superman's Body: What?! I'm going to destroy the world engine right now, you get ready!

Bruce: AU-ON

Du Mu had mentioned this method to him before. Clark would instantly go into overdrive whenever Louise was involved. At the time, he thought the statement was somewhat exaggerated, but he didn't expect the effect to be so immediate.

This is good news for Bruce.

Clark is a master of romance, which means that the other person has a deeper connection with Earth and won't easily choose his fellow countrymen.

Within minutes, Bruce discovered that the gravitational field around the World Engine had suddenly disappeared.

Clearly, Clark has succeeded.

But Clark has also lost contact, and we don't know the specifics of his situation.

Bruce had no time to pay attention to anything else. He immediately activated the autopilot mode of the Batplane, then strode to the rear cabin and started the Phantom Drive system on Clark's Kryptonian spaceship.

Phantom Drive is Krypton's space jump technology, which shares the same origin as the Phantom Projector, the energy core of the World Engine. If the two collide at high speed, they can create a miniature black hole.

Just as he had set the collision course and was preparing to jump, an unexpected event occurred.

Suddenly, a large hole was smashed through the outer wall of the World Engine, and a figure jumped out from inside, slamming heavily onto the top of the Batfighter's cockpit. The force was so great that the entire fighter sank a bit.

"Don't even think about it, Earthling!"

The person who arrived was wearing a silver-gray Kryptonian research suit, clearly a Kryptonian scientist.

As a scientist, he was well aware of the consequences of the collision between Phantom Drive and the World Engine, which would destroy Krypton's last hope for reconstruction.

Seeing that all the combat personnel had been lured away, he resolutely stepped forward and intercepted the evil plan of this Earthling.

"For Krypton!"

The Kryptonian scientist shouted loudly and then punched the bat-shaped fighter jet.

The titanium alloy roof of the cockpit dented instantly, and the metal groaned under the strain.

He had also been exposed to the yellow sun, and his physical strength far exceeded that of humans. The Batfighter was no match for his offensive and was quickly torn to pieces.

Bruce's heart sank, and he immediately returned to the cockpit, trying to regain control of the Batplane.

However, the damage to the Batfighter was too severe, and with the continued sabotage by the Kryptonian scientist, the Batfighter could no longer maintain its balance, spinning wildly in the air before finally crashing erratically to the ground.

Bang! !

With a loud bang, the Bat fighter crashed heavily to the ground, scattering debris everywhere.

Bruce struggled to climb out of the twisted cockpit.

Fortunately, his anti-spider... anti-superman armor was specially designed for superhuman strength, with its defense and shock absorption maximized, so he didn't suffer much damage.

He stood up, looked at the wrecked Batplane, and his face darkened.

"This is troublesome."

"You're in trouble, human."

The Kryptonian scientist also emerged from the cabin, completely unharmed, and stared coldly at Bruce.

Bruce didn't waste any words and threw out two batarangs.

One shot straight at the opponent's face, while the other veered off course and landed near the Kryptonian scientist's feet, looking like it was thrown off balance due to a shaky hand.

The Kryptonian scientist curled his lip in disdain and caught the batarang that was aimed at his face with a steady hand.

Sizzle—!

The batarang exploded in his palm, unleashing a powerful electric current that spread blue arcs along his arm and throughout his body.

The Kryptonian scientist shuddered, but that was all.

However, the batarang was just a feint. The batarang at his feet suddenly exploded, spewing out a thick cloud of gas that completely enveloped the Kryptonian scientist who was being distracted by the electric current.

That was the scarecrow's poisonous gas of fear.

Over the years, Bruce has thoroughly researched the core abilities of Gotham's supervillains, such as Scarecrow's fear gas formula, Mr. Freeze's cryogenic weapon core, Firefly's combustion device, Bane's super steroids, and so on.

He studied them all and made improvements to them.

Those supervillains had no idea that Bruce had already mastered the skills they were so proud of.

This fear gas is several times more effective than the original, and it is a special method specifically designed to deal with Kryptonians.

The Kryptonian scientist inhaled the toxic gas of fear instinctively, and even with his strong physique, his consciousness still wavered for a moment.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Bruce raised his right arm, and a grappling hook shot out from his tactical bracers, precisely wrapping around the Kryptonian scientist's neck. He then spun around abruptly, his feet firmly planted in the ground, using the momentum of his rotation to propel his entire arm half a circle in the air.

The Kryptonian scientist was pulled by a rope, his body immediately lifted off the ground, arcing through the air before crashing heavily to the ground.

Bang!

The concrete floor cracked, and gravel flew everywhere, creating a shallow crater.

Bruce gave him no chance to catch his breath.

The rope tightened rapidly, pulling the Kryptonian scientist by the neck and dragging him in front of it.

Bruce slammed his knee down on the opponent's chest, and the armor's power system output maximum power, slamming a heavy punch into the Kryptonian scientist's chin.

For an ordinary person, this punch would be enough to shatter their jawbone.

The Kryptonian scientist's head was only tilted slightly, leaving a faint red mark.

Bruce didn't stop, raining punches on the Kryptonian scientist's head, targeting vulnerable areas like the eyes, temples, and jaw.

The armor's joints emitted a screeching sound as it operated under overload, and each punch carried the force to smash through steel plates.

The Kryptonian scientist winced slightly and suddenly opened his eyes.

The effects of the fear gas began to wear off.

Kryptonians have a much faster metabolic rate than humans, so even the strongest toxins won't last long in their bodies. The time that the fear gas could buy them has already run out.

The Kryptonian scientist grabbed Bruce's right arm.

Bruce activated the discharge device without hesitation, and a terrifying current poured directly into the other person's body, crackling blue arcs of electricity.

But it doesn't do anything.

This time, the Kryptonian scientists didn't even flinch.

His body had adapted to this attack method; the adaptability that the yellow sun granted to Kryptonians was far faster than Bruce had anticipated.

The Kryptonian scientist clenched his fists.

Bruce's right arm armor made a teeth-grinding sound, and five dented finger marks were made on the metal shell by his bare hands.

The titanium alloy lining was practically useless against the Kryptonian's grip strength. Bruce felt his ulna was under immense pressure, and the bone made a faint cracking sound.

The Kryptonian scientist had already turned around and thrown Bruce away.

Bruce crashed into the exterior wall of a building across the street like a cannonball, with red bricks and concrete fragments raining down, and he became embedded in the wall.

"Ahem!"

Despite being protected by the Superman Anti-Man armor, Bruce still suffered considerable injuries and tasted the rusty taste of blood in his mouth.

Seeing the Kryptonian scientists charging at him again, he disregarded the pain and immediately assumed a fighting stance.

However, the Kryptonian scientist, though a civil servant, is not powerless.

In fact, scientists are Krypton's most powerful hidden force.

Back then, General Zod led his warriors in a rebellion on Krypton, advancing with unstoppable momentum until they ran into Krypton's chief scientist, Joril, who was also Clark's father.

In less than ten seconds, he almost wiped out the entire rebel army by himself.

General Zod, Krypton's chief warrior, was brutally beaten by Clark's father in a one-on-one fight, without even the ability to fight back.

Clark's father: I'm just a scientist, I don't have their power.

This means that he is not as weak as they are.

As Krypton's strongest unit, this Kryptonian scientist was naturally quite powerful. He immediately unleashed a Kryptonian military-style punch, which was much faster than a bullet and had already exceeded the analysis threshold of the anti-Superman armor.

Unfortunately, when Bruce designed this suit, his intended enemy was Spider-Man.

Moreover, this suit of armor was still a half-finished product and had not been tested, so who would have thought it would suddenly be used to fight Kryptonians.

At first, Bruce was able to barely hold off the Kryptonian scientist's attacks thanks to his maxed-out dodge skill.

But facing the Kryptonians who held nothing back, he was quickly overwhelmed and blasted away by the Kryptonian scientist's heat beam.

"It's over, Earthlings."

Before Bruce could even get up, the Kryptonian scientist had already rushed in front of him, raising his right foot to stomp down.

The force of that kick was enough to crush Bruce's chest.

Just then, a white bolt of lightning tore through the air and struck the Kryptonian scientist.

Bang! !

The Kryptonian scientist was struck hard and flew sideways.

Bruce looked up.

Where the Kryptonian scientist had been standing, now stood a masked man, wearing a red helmet and elbow and knee pads, his appearance quite rudimentary, his hands in a forward-pushing posture.

The masked man looked at Bruce and said in a panic, "Um, I thought he was going to hurt you, so I gently pushed him."

Bruce: AU—O∧

Is this what you call gently?

Bruce asked in a low voice, "Who are you?"

The masked man quickly said, "I'm Barry Allen... no, I'm The Flash, that's my code name."

He suddenly realized he had accidentally revealed his real name and quickly corrected himself.

Bruce:

""

Is it just his imagination? Why does it seem like these people with special abilities aren't very bright?

Du Mu was like that, Clark was like that, and Barry in front of us is even more so.

Bruce guessed that Barry was a superhuman who came to offer help based on Du Mu's global broadcast.

Normally, he would have had a long talk with Barry, extracting all the information he could, and then specially prepared several preventative plans as a gift for him.

But the situation was urgent, so he didn't bother with formalities and immediately ran to the crashed Batplane, opened the rear hatch to check the Kryptonian ship inside. After finding that there was no damage, he calmed down a bit.

Unlike the Kryptonian warriors' ships, Clark's Kryptonian ship was even more special, as only his ship was equipped with the Phantom Drive system.

If they suffer any damage, their plan will be considered a failure.

But new problems arose.

Bruce looked serious and contacted Du Mu in the chat group.

"There's a problem. My fighter jet has crashed and can no longer transport the Kryptonian ship to crash into the World Engine."

"Leave it to me."

Soon, Du Mu replied in the chat group.

Not long after, a figure appeared in the air and landed right next to Bruce.

Bruce, seeing that it was Du Mu wearing the Ultron armor, asked, "What are you planning to do?"

Du Mu removed his mask, revealing pearly white teeth: "Have you seen the Avengers? Do you know how Iron Man ultimately saved the Earth?"

Bruce raised an eyebrow: "Wait, you wouldn't be planning to...

""

Before he could finish speaking, Du Mu suddenly bent down, grabbed the bottom of the Kryptonian spaceship with both hands, and with a sudden burst of strength, lifted the entire Kryptonian spaceship onto his head.

Immediately afterwards, blue energy erupted from his feet, and he and his spaceship soared into the sky, heading straight for the World Engine above him.
