American comics: Starting with replicating Superman's talent

Chapter 260 The Curtain Rises

metropolis.

The city remains as congested as ever with cars coming and going.

At this moment, in a tall building not far from the Justice League Hall.

Louise Lane stood by the window, holding a cup of coffee, gazing at the Justice League Tower in the distance.

Even at midnight, many tourists who had come to visit the place gathered below.

It has to be said that when Gino established the Justice League headquarters in Metropolis, it indirectly helped Metropolis increase its tourist traffic.

"Sigh, Gino Luther hasn't been in Metropolis lately, and the paparazzi we sent to Smallville haven't found any trace of him either."

Louise's manager, a Black man of average build, paced back and forth anxiously.

The company's shareholder rubbed his tie and said, "And the others? Wonder Woman, Batman, and that guy named Clark."

"Any news about them?"

Listening to her supervisor lash out at the newspaper editors, Louise rolled her eyes in exasperation: "Johnny, we could have focused our reporting on the crime situation in Metropolis, instead of revolving around those superheroes."

In her recent life, Louise has also noticed that the security situation in the metropolis has deteriorated significantly.

The massive influx of people naturally provides fertile ground for the growth of some illicit industries, which worries Louise greatly.

She didn't want to see innocent people get hurt.

As the daughter of a general, Louise naturally had the confidence to talk back to her superiors.

The supervisor sighed, but still patiently explained to Louise, "Louise, you're right. As media professionals, we should focus more on the public."

"But have you considered this: Planet Daily is not a non-profit organization. We need to eat, we need to operate, and all of these require financial resources."

"If our newspaper lacks brand recognition and fails to attract readers, then the stock price will plummet, the company will go bankrupt, and we'll all be out of a job."

"The frustrating thing is that the public only cares about the Justice League; they don't care at all about what the city is like."

The Black manager glanced at Louise and made a shrugging gesture like a bear: "Tell me, if you were me, what would I do?"

The two were arguing, but their colleagues behind them all stood up and stared in shock at the scene outside the floor-to-ceiling window.

"What is that!?"

"My God!"

A group of people's exclamations interrupted Louise's argument with her black supervisor.

The two of them looked out the window at the same time.

They saw it.

Amidst the brightly lit skyscrapers of the city, a large figure strode swiftly along the sides of the buildings.

With each step, he shattered the glass of a tall building, then leaped towards another tall building.

The enormous machine kept darting and maneuvering between the tall buildings.

Even through the floor-to-ceiling windows, one could faintly hear people's screams and terrified cries.

"Quickly, call the police!"

Some people had already taken out their phones to make calls.

"What is that thing?" Louise frowned as she watched the enormous creature crawling in the darkness leap towards a distant floor.

Following the monster's movements, it seemed its target was the Justice League building not far away.

"He's here for the Justice League!"

Louise quickly pulled out her phone and dialed a number for a mysterious person.

After a brief moment of pubic hair, a languid voice rang out.

"What is it?"

"Is that Gino?"

"Ah, you tell me."

Hearing the boy's languid tone, Louise said somewhat anxiously, "A monster has broken into Metropolis, and we need you to come!"

"He has already caused considerable damage to the city!"

The woman was anxious; she held the phone to her ear, trying to get a reply from Gino.

The sound of whistling wind came from the receiver.

At the same time, a dazzling golden light shone outside the window.

The dazzling golden light shot towards the dark figure like a streak of light, and at the same time, the boy's voice rang out from the receiver.

"I arrived early!"

"boom!"

The massive black afterimage resembled a falling lead ball hurtling towards the brightly lit city streets, but just as it was about to hit the road and kill someone, another afterimage shot out.

"Oh!"

Clark used all his strength to slam into the monster's body, sending it soaring into the sky.

"We need to take it out of the city!"

A black bat-shaped fighter jet streaked across the sky, and Diana threw out the Lasso of Truth, like a dashing cowgirl, the golden rope fastening around the monster's neck.

The female warrior pulled hard, dragging him into the air. Batman, piloting the Batplane, flew towards the distant suburbs.

The area was sparsely populated and rarely visited, making it an ideal place for battle.

"boom!"

The bat fighter jet tilted and trembled.

"How much further!"

Diana turned to Batman and shouted, feeling the terrifying force of the monster struggling under the Lasso of Truth.

She could even assert that this would be a formidable opponent.

"We're here!" Batman gripped the controls tightly to keep the fighter jet stable, gazing at the desolate landscape outside the window. Finally, he let out a sigh of relief and shouted back, "We've arrived!"

"good!"

The female warrior suddenly loosened the Lasso of Truth.

"Splash!"

Like a canvas bag dropped from a great height, the monster roared as it fell from a height of ten thousand meters.

"boom!"

Its massive body landed on the earth, shattering the once flat land and raising clouds of dust, with stones and soil flying everywhere.

From above, no one can see what's inside the pit.

"Whoosh!"

Almost at the same time, Clark and Gino appeared not far from the giant crater.

"Whoosh!"

Diana also jumped out of the fighter jet and stood next to Gino.

The two women surrounded Gino, and Diana said instinctively, "I don't think this will end so easily."

"It's not just your opinion." Clark, having spent so much time with Gino, had also learned to be sarcastic.

The big boy looked at the billowing smoke and dust with distress and said, "That monster is crawling out of the pit."

As if confirming Clark's words, the thick smoke that had been drifting in the pit suddenly exploded, and a whistling black shadow leaped out of the pit.

Its enormous body was covered in grotesque bone spikes, and its ugly face had tiny, beady eyes staring intently at the three people.

"Stop talking nonsense and prepare for battle." Gino ignored Clark and took a step forward. Immediately, the power from heaven enveloped him, outlining majestic and intricate golden patterns on his skin, as if he were wearing a divine robe.

The boy, as if a deity, beckoned to the monster with his finger and said, "Come here."

Those calm words seemed to remind the enormous monster of some unbearable past. It gripped its sharp bone spikes, roared, and charged towards the three of them, its legs stomping on the ground.
