The aliens who were picked up by Superman at the beginning

Chapter 246 Shameless

The black dots quickly spread out, obscuring the halo of the blood-red star, and a piercing shriek filled the space dust of this strange galaxy.

Li Zhen didn't even need to see what those things were.

In the comics, Apokolips' invasion of most planets always follows the same three-step process: first, the Parademon army cleanses the land; then, the Dark Elite arrives; and if neither of the first two works, Darkseid's three-dimensional clones personally intervene.

However, Lee Jung, who was relatively familiar with this part of the plot, knew that Darkseid's progress in reincarnation in this universe had been prematurely thwarted by her own progress in the Emperor storyline.

Then, the Dark Side Club, presumably under the guidance of that so-called strategist Viman Vandeba, wanted to do something using the Amodro virus from other universes.

After figuring out that the mastermind behind it all was connected to Apokolips, everything suddenly became clear.

The original Amodrome virus didn't have the ability to trigger inner darkness, and considering the Dark Side Club and Darkseid's own name, you can easily guess what will happen next.

Viman Vandeba wanted to kill two birds with one stone: while secretly killing Lee Jung with Blitzkrieg, he also wanted to resurrect Darkseid once the virus had infected enough people.

However, even though they were in the shadows and had a plan, the Olympian gods, representing the forces of the Old Gods, intervened and not only protected Li Zhen but also thwarted the conspiracy once again.

Although Apocalypse, which claims to be a new god-like force, certainly has other ways to bring out their leader, Li Zhen came this time to take advantage of this time difference to bully the still weak Apocalypse, which is still capable of being bullied.

I'll also take this opportunity to vent my anger after all this time.

If you're going to fight, then go all out head-on. What's the point of hiding in the shadows and playing dirty tricks all day?

The million-strong demonic army blotted out the sky and quickly flew into space, rushing towards the falling Li Zhen.

Wielding sharp claws and bone spikes, spewing corrosive dark purple saliva, each Parademon carried the violent aura of Apokolips, their densely packed forms impenetrable even to the slightest ray of light.

The demonic legion, stacked in tens of thousands of layers, resembled a black tsunami surging into the sky, threatening to tear apart and devour the lone invader.

Li Zhen remained indifferent, still holding her arms crossed and looking down at the ground of Apocalypse Star, her body plummeting towards the planet like a meteorite.

If you're not good at group attacks, then at least the enemy's individual strength must be superhuman, and these swarming Parademons are nothing more than dust in your way.

The first Parademons to rush forward were instantly shattered by the force of his descent, like blood-red firecrackers exploding in mid-air.

The parademons that followed followed one after another, some trying to bite Li Zhen's shoulder, others trying to tear off his limbs, but all of them were dozens of meters away, as if a water balloon had hit an indestructible steel wall, unable to cause even the slightest obstacle.

In the blink of an eye, tens of thousands of explosions resounded in the sky. The dark, layered demonic army was forcefully pierced through the center by Li Zhen, creating a continuous path of blood-red firecrackers.

No matter how many demons charged, they were like ants trying to shake a tree in front of Li Zhen.

His descent did not slow down at all; in fact, it became even more rapid, and his body was gradually enveloped by a layer of scarlet air.

That was the blood of a demon, a creature so vulnerable to Li Zhen that it had undergone an extremely complex genetic modification process. Its blood was as heavy as lead and mercury, and strangely adhered to the force field surrounding Li Zhen, which stretched for more than ten meters. Even the frictional heat comparable to that of a falling meteorite could not completely evaporate it.

A dark red galaxy was left behind in the trajectory of his fall!

"Damn bugs! How dare they desecrate the majesty of Apokolips!"

That hoarse, metallic scraping sound rang out again, filled with extreme rage.

The next second, the iron-blooded buildings on the surface of Apokolips suddenly turned crimson, and with a thunderous roar that shook the heavens and the earth, a giant cannon barrel that looked like a crater rose from a steel fortress comparable to Mount Everest on Earth.

A blinding dark red energy condensed at the muzzle.

"Um?"

This thing is amazing; during the energy accumulation process, he could actually feel his heart racing along with the machine's operation.

The heartbeat quickened.

Unfortunately, Apokolips and Witrum are just too similar.

This kind of super-tech weapon has been mentioned repeatedly in some of Witrum's courses.

While the Vitrumians certainly had great confidence in their physical strength, they were still a civilization capable of conquering several star systems and were not unaware of the extreme destructive power of pure technology.

In particular, they have been plundering technology from different planets to fuel their own development.

"Given my current physique, the weapon that could trigger a direct physiological response in my body would have to be at least at the level of planetary annihilation!"

Energy continued to gather at the muzzle, growing brighter and brighter. About one-seventh of the reflected light from Apokolips was distorted by the residual force, causing space to tremble and shift, and directly locking onto the force field around the falling Li Zhen!

Li Zhen's usually calm eyes finally lit up with a hint of excitement.

Just as the Annihilation Cannon was about to finish charging and be ready to fire, Li Zhen's figure suddenly blurred, almost turning into an invisible spatial rift. He shifted to the side at a speed of almost instantaneous teleportation, moving half the distance of the Earth's continent, and barely dodged the energy cannon that was about to be fired.

"boom!"

A high-pressure destructive energy cannon, comparable in diameter to the moon, roared out. The dark red energy beam pierced through the universe, tearing space apart and annihilating dust wherever it passed. Even distant asteroids were instantly vaporized.

Li Zhen had already appeared near the annihilation cannon, his arms still crossed, his eyes now cold.

In the next instant, his figure moved like a ghost, rapidly darting and crashing through the cannon.

Once, twice, three times—hundreds of rapid back-and-forth movements in the blink of an eye, Li Zhen's body, like the hardest armor-piercing bullet, repeatedly pierced through the main body of the super cannon, which was as large as a mountain but still could not be deformed by the planet's gravity.

Under his impact, the mountain cannon roared under its own weight.

The sounds of metal breaking echoed one after another, the scarlet energy core kept leaking, and the cannon body was covered with dense cracks. The terrifying super-tech weapon that used to always accompany the arrival of Apokolips was like fragile glass in comparison to Li Zhen's body.

Until a deafening roar that shook the entire planet Apocalypse erupted, the Annihilation Cannon shattered completely, its crimson energy core instantly detonated, and a massive crimson mushroom cloud shot into the sky.

The mushroom cloud was so large that it was almost comparable to the apocalyptic sphere in the Flashpoint world.

The devastating shockwave spread outwards, tearing up thousands of meters of rock from the surface of Apokolips and instantly clearing away dust and small meteorites from space.

Li Zhen stopped and hovered not far from the epicenter of the explosion, her arms still crossed over her chest.

Neither of them intended to avoid it.

This thing is scientifically designed to concentrate energy, so it might actually be able to hurt him if it hits.

However, the energy scattered after the explosion, even though it was on a level comparable to the doomsday sphere of the Flashpoint world, was completely insufficient for him now.

The shockwave swept past his body, but was instantly deflected by the invisible energy emanating from him, without even a tremor in his hair.

The crimson energy fragments landed on him, but were instantly burned away, leaving not a trace.

However, the energy gathering segment just now convinced Li Zhen that there must be some opponents hidden on this infamous planet that could give him a thrill, or even one that could put him to the test.

Since Darkseid isn't around, we're going to give these weaklings who always pride themselves on being strong a good humiliation.

"I don't like playing house. If you keep trying to fool me with these inanimate objects that conquer ordinary civilizations, next time I'll aim for the very center of this planet."

He casually urged him on.

Having survived this assassination attempt and the subsequent slight improvement, Li Zhen also realized something.

As long as he doesn't act like he's bound by Earth, he, now a lone guerrilla fighter, should be a headache for other local forces.

Otherwise, the Dark Side Club wouldn't have considered him as someone to be eliminated even before Superman.

They have failed, and Apokolips should pay the price!
