Alien invasion? Luckily, I'm Superman.
Chapter 80 Alexander Luther
When Su Mo flew to Happy Harbor, Wonder Woman and Firestorm had already arrived and were engaged in a fierce battle with the Divine Ring and the Death Matrix.
The metallic clanging of ping-pong balls echoed through the harbor. Wonder Woman's Vulcan sword slashed at the right hand of the Ring of Power, the blade colliding with the energy shield and sending sparks flying.
The green shield of the Divine Power Ring steadily blocked the attack, and his right hand trembled slightly.
"Hal! Charge me up! You piece of trash!" the lamp ring roared.
Hal clenched his right fist, green energy surging from his body. His face was contorted in pain, veins bulging on his right arm, blood vessels beneath the skin throbbing as if they were about to burst. His voice was weak and trembling: "But...it really hurts!"
He watched Wonder Woman charge forward with imposing might, saw the cold gleam reflecting from the Vulcan sword in her hand, and his legs trembled involuntarily. Each time the ring drained his energy, it felt like being scraped by a knife.
"Yes, that's it!" The Ring sensed Hal's fear. The more Hal feared, the stronger the Ring became. Green light surged from the ring, materializing into a ferocious beast under the Ring's will.
The giant beast, covered in scales, roared as it charged toward Wonder Woman with its gaping maw wide open.
The female warrior raised her shield to block the giant beast's claws, the shockwave from the collision of metal and energy sending surrounding rocks flying. She dodged the beast's pounce, and with a swift swing of her Vulcan Sword, severed the beast's head. The energy-formed corpse dissipated into countless green specks of light in mid-air.
Taking advantage of the moment, she took the Lasso of Truth from her waist, and the golden rope drew an arc in the air, precisely looping around Hal's body.
She yanked hard, and Hal stumbled forward and fell. The heroine shouted, "Tell me, who is that prisoner? Why are you tying him up?"
"He is Alexander..." Hal's mouth opened uncontrollably, and the golden light of the Lasso of Truth flowed over his body.
"Idiot! Shut up! Want to die?" Quan Jie suddenly conjured a green shackle, clamping it over Hal's mouth and silencing him. At the same time, he swung a massive energy fist, accompanied by a whistling sound, towards Wonder Woman.
The female warrior crouched down and raised her shield to block the attack. Her body was pushed backward slowly by the immense force, and the soles of her shoes plowed two deep furrows in the ground.
But then she heard a "thump." Firestorm was thrown in front of her, her back hitting the ground and kicking up a cloud of dust.
"Ah, sorry." Firestorm Ronnie got up from the ground, rubbed the back of his head, and gave the heroine an awkward smile. "She's more skilled at using her abilities than I am."
"Ronnie, I told you you should study physics properly." The voice of physicist Martin rang in Firestorm's mind, tinged with reproach. "The other party's understanding of molecular structure far surpasses yours."
"Stop daydreaming, Firestorm!" The heroine's voice came from ahead.
Ronnie snapped back to reality from his reverie. The heroine was struggling to dodge the combined attacks of the Divine Ring and the Death Matrix. Her shield had already been partially eroded by the Death Matrix's disintegrating power, its edges becoming increasingly fragmented.
Firestorm soared into the air, his hands clasped together in fists, palms aimed at the Death Matrix. A fiery red nuclear fusion shockwave erupted from his fists, carrying a scorching blast of air straight towards the Death Matrix.
Death Matrix raised its hand, and a semi-transparent disintegration force field opened in its palm. The shock wave was disintegrated and dissipated layer by layer the moment it came into contact with the force field.
But Wonder Woman seized the opportunity when Death Matrix raised his hand to block. She lunged forward and punched Death Matrix hard in the chin, sending him flying. He tumbled several times in the air and crashed into a pile of shipping containers, which dented and made a grating metallic creak.
Due to the pain in his right arm, the Divine Power Ring's attack frequency noticeably decreased, and he was unable to stop the female warrior's surprise attack. Seeing the situation was dire, he immediately tried to escape.
But a black figure appeared in the air.
Su Mo swooped down from the sky, his right foot whistling through the air as he kicked the Divine Power Ring down. The ring's body slammed into the ground like a cannonball, creating a shallow crater and scattering debris everywhere.
Su Mo landed on the ground, his eyes slightly reddening as he looked at the Divine Power Ring struggling to get up. Two beams of heat shot out from his pupils, striking the power ring on Hal's right hand with pinpoint accuracy.
The green ring emitted a blinding light under the scorching heat rays, and cracks began to appear on its surface, eventually falling off the finger.
The moment Hal lost his ring, a wave of relief washed over him. He looked down at his right hand, now back to normal, and the pain vanished. Like a boulder that had been weighing on his chest for so long being lifted, a look of relief spread across his face, his lips slightly upturned. Then he closed his eyes, his body went limp, and he passed away peacefully. His face held a serene expression of finally being free.
The ring flew swiftly through the air, glowing with an eerie green light. As it flew, it emitted strong signal fluctuations and emitted a voice: "Seeking a new host, XXX from Earth, you have immense fear, you can become..."
"Don't even think about running away." Su Mo shouted, and Pudding shot out several black tentacles from his shoulder, lashing at the ring in the air like whips.
The tentacles moved with lightning speed, but the ring flashed just as the tentacles were about to touch them, teleporting away from Pudding's grasp.
Meanwhile, Wonder Woman and Firestorm teamed up to corner the Death Matrix. Wonder Woman severed the Death Matrix's right arm with her sword, and taking advantage of his momentary lapse in concentration, Firestorm used his molecular recombination ability to turn the ground beneath his feet into quicksand. The Death Matrix sank into it, and Wonder Woman's chains secured his body tightly.
"Zansha!"
A voice suddenly rang out from the edge of the battlefield, clear and powerful, like a thunderclap exploding in the night sky.
In the chaos, Luthor, who was bound by the Crime Syndicate, was somehow freed by an unsuspecting superhero. Luthor stood up, stretched, took a deep breath, and chanted the transformation spell.
"Zansha—"
A bolt of lightning struck him from above, white arcs of electricity enveloping his entire body. His body began to swell and deform in the electric light. His thin frame grew tall and muscular, muscles bulging, and a red uniform appeared on his body.
After transforming, Zamsa raised his right hand, spread his five fingers, and smashed the spine of the superhero next to him who hadn't even had time to react.
Su Mo frowned. He saw the lightning bolt striking down from the sky and immediately abandoned his tracking ring, turning and flying to the side of the female warrior and Firestorm. He calmed himself, clenched his fists, and prepared to face Zansha's attack.
Su Mo's eyes narrowed. He gathered power in his right fist, and Pudding's tentacles gripped the ground tightly, fixing his body in place. In the next instant, Zansha's face slammed into Su Mo's fist.
Boom! A ring of shockwave exploded in the air, and Su Mo was knocked back by the immense force, his body flying backward.
Zamsa touched his cheek, which was quickly swelling down, and without pausing, kicked out, sending Wonder Woman and Firestorm flying as they charged at him from the side.
Zamsa turned around, his right hand forming a knife, and stabbed the heart of the Death Matrix lying on the ground.
*Thud!* A hand pierced through the Death Matrix's chest, blood gushing from the wound. The Death Matrix's eyes widened, its body going limp. Zamsa withdrew his hand, his palm stained with crimson blood.
"I've wanted your power for a long time," Zamsa said, looking down at the Death Matrix still twitching on the ground.
"Drink!" Wonder Woman leaped out of the ruins, gripping her sword with both hands, and slashed fiercely at Zamza's head.
Zansha raised his hand, fingers spread, and grabbed the blade of the Vulcan Sword. The metal blade made a screeching sound in his palm, but it didn't cut his skin. He raised his leg and kicked the female warrior in the groin. She cried out in pain, her body arching, and she was sent flying.
Firestorm soared into the air, conjuring two blazing energy projectiles in his palms before unleashing them with full force. The energy projectiles, trailing fiery red contrails, hurtled straight at Zansha. Zansha neither dodged nor defended, taking the blast head-on; the energy projectiles exploded in his chest.
He looked up at Firestorm and shot a green beam of light from his right hand, striking Firestorm's body. Firestorm's arms turned to wood in an instant.
"My arms!" Firestorm cried out, stepping back and trying to reassemble his arms.
Su Mo leaped into the air and flew quickly towards Zansha. He swooped down, grabbed Zansha's right leg tightly with both hands, and slammed him to the ground.
Boom! A shallow crater was created by the impact. Taking advantage of the moment Zansha fell, Su Mo grabbed his left arm with both hands and twisted it forcefully.
Snap! A sharp crack echoed from the elbow joint as Zamsa's left arm bent in the opposite direction, dislocating the bone and tearing the ligaments.
Zan let out a roar and kicked Su Mo in the chest with his right leg, sending him flying.
Su Mo rolled twice in the air to regain her balance. Zansha's severed arm reattached itself within seconds.
"This is troublesome."
Su Mo looked at the lively Zamsa and felt a headache coming on. The opponent's regenerative abilities were even stronger than Superman's, and his magical defenses were more troublesome than expected. He wondered if Superman had sent Lex Luthor yet.
Su Mo took a deep breath, allowing Pudding to strengthen his muscles. The black symbiote wriggled beneath his skin.
He attacked again, his right hand outstretched, grabbing Zamsa's head and slamming him to the ground as he charged.
Gravel and dirt flew up on both sides of Zanza's spine, raising dust and carving deep furrows in the ground wherever it went.
Pudding's tentacles extended from Su Mo's chest, attempting to pierce Zansha's body, but were blocked by the magical defenses surrounding Zansha. Pudding changed tactics and began to absorb the magic power from Zansha's body.
"Damn thief!" Zamsa said angrily, feeling his magic drain away. He had only uttered a few words when a mouthful of sand and pebbles was poured into his mouth, causing him to cough.
After gliding with Zansha for a distance, Su Mo suddenly took off, soaring dozens of meters into the air, then turned around, slamming his legs hard onto Zansha's chest, and plummeted down from the sky.
Zansha spat out a mouthful of blood, his ribs creaking under the pressure, but his healing power quickly repaired his injuries.
The roar of airplanes echoed through the sky. The black silhouette of the Bat fighter jet emerged from the clouds.
The fighter jet hovered, the hatch opened, and Batman jumped out of the cockpit, along with a reluctant Lex Luthor.
"Luther, say 'Zanza'," Batman's voice came out, deep and cold.
"Why should I listen to you?" Luther raised his head, a mocking smile on his lips, his eyes full of provocation.
Batman didn't speak, but stepped forward and punched Luthor in the stomach. Luthor had no choice but to yell, "Zanza—!"
A striking bolt of lightning descended from the sky, its white arc tearing through the night and striking Zansha precisely.
A powerful electric current shoved Su Mo away from Zan Sha. Su Mo tumbled in the air before landing steadily on the ground.
Zamza's body began to shrink amidst the electric light, transforming back into the thin, red-haired, bearded Alexander Luther.
Alexander tried to shout "Zanza" again to transform. Wonder Woman immediately stepped forward, and the Lasso of Truth was placed around his neck. The golden rope tightened, and the controlled Alexander was unable to speak.
"The entire Crime Syndicate has now been arrested." Batman approached Alexander, looked down at the subdued man, and then turned to Su Mo.
"Hmm." Su Mo nodded, his gaze falling in the direction where the power ring had disappeared. "Besides the divine power ring, this one can't be let go."
Everyone thought the crisis was over. Su Mo thought so too.
Just wondering, do you guys prefer less fighting and a faster plot, or a more balanced approach, or just like this? Please like whichever you prefer in the comments (#^.^#).
