American comics: The off-the-charts random transformation

"Damn it, if I could handle this, I wouldn't be so irritable! Fuck you!"

Lex Luthor then launched into a barrage of insults, without repeating himself.

Kovacs activated the power armor helmet, silencing him.

Tian Xiaoban: "Um, well, Lai Tu, why don't you join me? I have a whole world for you to develop, how about it?"

Chapter 142 Fishing and Taking the Bait

Lex Luthor was convinced by Tian Xiaoban's attitude that the other party was doing it on purpose.

They deliberately mired him in a quagmire, then pretended to give him alms.

Save him? Ha, that's laughable.

Lex Luthor sneered:

"Ha, so you really have your eye on my talent! No, no, no, don't even think about it. Don't even think that I would go against the Metropolis with someone like you who has no known identity!"

With my wealth and influence, the worst that can happen is a few days in jail. Asking me to go with you is tantamount to courting death!

Tian Xiaoban understood Lex Luthor's unspoken meaning: this guy wanted to see his strength, otherwise there was no point in discussing anything.

"Oh? You think they have anyone who can stop me? You've met my men, and look at you, you're still being restrained by them. You actually think I'll lose?"

"Interesting. What kind of strength does the metropolis possess now?"

Lex Luthor said it very seriously: "We've already trained twelve superhumans like Superman, what do you think?"

These twelve were trained under certain restrictions in Metropolis. If it weren't to prevent such superhumans from becoming rampant, we could use superhumans like them as cannon fodder.

His tone was warning and threatening: if you don't want to be besieged by a bunch of Supermen, you'd better behave yourself.

Tian Xiaoban smiled:

"Hahaha, buddy, you think Superman is super strong? Let me tell you some interesting facts, how about it?"

Lai Tu asked in confusion: "Interesting knowledge?"

"That's right, do you want to know how many powerful beings exist on Earth?"

Lex Luthor answered:

"Superman, aliens, mutants! No matter how strong they are, they're still just so-so."

Upon hearing Lex Luthor's impression of powerful people—that they were all from Metropolis—Tian Xiaoban mercilessly mocked:

"Hahaha, that's too narrow-minded, Lex Luthor! Your vision is too limited!"

Superman? Is he really that strong?

Right now, he's just a child who hasn't fully grown up. On this earth, there are gods from Greek mythology, and there's heaven and hell!

Do you know about the main universe, parallel universes, multiverse, dark multiverse, infinite multiverse, and omnipotent universe?

There is an Earth in every universe!

Lex Luthor's expression was one of confusion and bewilderment. What on earth was Tian Xiaoban talking about? A mythological story?

"What do you mean? You think I'd be fooled by these ridiculous arguments? You underestimate me, Lex Luthor. Hahaha..."

After saying that, Lai Tu chuckled awkwardly a few times. The other person's expression indicated that this was indeed a possibility!

But this reality was too cruel for Lex Luthor; he couldn't accept it!

I thought Lex Luthor had become a business tycoon at the top of scientific research by relying on his genius mind.

If he wants power, he has the "God's Gene" and power armor; if he wants financial resources, he has the LexCorp and the military as a backer.

He believed he had reached the pinnacle of humanity! But then he suddenly heard that there were gods on Earth!

My inner voice screamed: World, are you kidding me?!

Tian Xiaoban had no idea what Lex Luthor was thinking with that Sichuan-style face-changing expression. He simply snapped his fingers to attract Lex Luthor's attention.

"What I'm saying is all true. Although those Greek gods suffered heavy casualties while resisting the aliens, thousands of years have passed, and I estimate they're almost healed and ready to come out and take back their followers."

Heaven is a separate dimension, and getting there is quite difficult; besides, God probably wouldn't let me go up there.

Oh, by the way, would you like to visit hell?

Lex Luthor's pupils constricted sharply, his bald head recoiled, trying to get away from the guy who had suddenly said he'd send him to hell:

"Fuck, you madman! Do you want to kill me?! Let me tell you, if you kill me, the entire Lexcorp won't let you get away with it!"

Luther immediately tried to escape, but his power armor held him firmly in place.

Tian Xiaoban rolled her eyes:

"Coward."

Who says you have to die to go to hell? Hell is a separate dimension, just like heaven. I'm just opening a portal to take you on a tour!

To Lex Luthor, these words were more outrageous than killing him!

Damn, if it's true, does this guy think he owns the legendary hell?! He talks about it so casually, could he be a demon?!

"Oh damn it, do you know what you're saying? You think hell is your home? You think you can just go wherever you want?!"

Tian Xiaoban gave a mysterious smile that sent chills down Lex Luthor's spine.

"You'll find out when you get there, let's go!"

On Tian Xiaoban's left hand, the rune given to him by the dream god Morpheus burst forth with dazzling light, opening a portal to hell for him. However, this portal opened right beneath their feet.

Lex Luthor suddenly felt a sense of weightlessness, and his entire body was falling downwards.

………………

"what!!!!!"

Lex Luthor flailed his limbs wildly, trying to activate the anti-gravity system inside his power armor.

Kovacs then spoke up, "Shut up, don't make a sound. I'll show you what top-tier technology really is!"

The black and white power armor on Lai Tu's body writhed, and in an incredible transformation, rocket nozzles appeared on his limbs and back.

They are trumpet-shaped, composed of multiple black conical tubes arranged and aggregated, resembling an hourglass, and spewing out blue flames.

These jets also move automatically, quickly keeping Lex Luthor balanced and hovering above Hell.

"Phew! That scared me to death! You can replicate my rocket propulsion system? Nanotechnology?"

Lex Luthor asked Kowasky, but the stinky penguin wouldn't answer, hovering silently in mid-air, waiting for someone else to arrive.

Tian Xiaoban, bursting with charisma, flew down using the Flying Technique and hovered beside him.

The hissing sound produced by the white air currents rubbing against the air intrigued Lex Luthor.

"What kind of technology is this! Nanotechnology? Superpowers? Or... magic?"

Tian Xiaoban thought for a moment and then said in a way that Lex Luthor could understand:

"Uh, it's a kind of application of life energy. You can think of it as something like Western martial arts or something? I'm not sure if you understand, but it's similar to how you're flying in the sky with a rocket launcher right now!"

"Really? Then what about your energy source? Bioenergy?"

This is outrageous! Even a superhuman's bio-energy couldn't be converted like this!

Those superpowered individuals who can project energy have undergone some degree of physical mutation, but they generally emit energy from their hands, feet, or similar organs.

Lex Luthor had never seen anyone like Tian Xiaoban, whose entire body radiated white flames, before.

Tian Xiaoban: "Forget it, I'm too lazy to talk to you. I brought you here for sightseeing, not to discuss me. Look over there!"

Lex Luthor looked in the direction Tian Xiaoban was pointing and saw two enormous beasts fighting on the ground.

He initially thought he was seeing things, but when his power armor automatically put on his helmet and zoomed in on the behemoth, Kowalski even helped calculate the distance between them and the behemoth.

"A giant crab! What kind of monster is this?! A hundred-meter-tall behemoth!"

The power armor's information panel also collected images of all the creatures in the surrounding area, ranging in size from a football to a football field!

They were so numerous that they were densely packed, like maggots on a rotting corpse, so many that the ground was invisible.

Lex Luthor was horrified! He wondered to himself: If these monsters came to Earth, could Earth stop them?

"These demons of hell, well, they must be mid-level."

Tian Xiaoban was also a little unsure, as the gourmet demon created by Garfield was not compatible with the previous combat system.

Their power comes from slaughtering and devouring, from eating relentlessly! They are far more ruthless than when Lucifer was in charge.

Lex Luthor: "Is this really hell? How come it's not what I know? Why are all the demons like mutated beasts? Some of them are even incredibly ugly, uglier than the genetically mutated people in my lab."

Tian Xiaoban: "Didn't I tell you? Hell is a dimension! After people die, their souls come here! And get eaten by these guys! You don't want your soul to be eaten by these guys, do you, Lex Luthor?"

"No, I absolutely refuse to be eaten by this hideous thing! I'd rather kill myself than be eaten by this monster!"

"But this is hell, isn't it? Even if you commit suicide, your soul will still come here. Oh, right, I forgot to tell you, death is not the end for your soul here."

Souls that die will be resurrected after a period of time, still as souls, wandering in hell until they are mutated and twisted, living cruelly just like everyone else!

"Fuck! This really is hell! How do we deal with something like this?"

Lex Luthor has already started planning how to kill these bastards! These things are something you have to be wary of!

"Hmm, good question. I don't know either. These guys were created to become stronger, stronger, and stronger! It seems there's no other way but to crush them to dust head-on."

Tian Xiaoban shrugged, indicating his helplessness. He remembered that anything enhanced by gourmet cells would become terrifyingly powerful.

It's possible that a blade of grass or a flower, enhanced by gourmet cells, could possess the power to fight against a fully armed army, or even annihilate one.

This is just plants. If it were animals, they would be even stronger. They eat mountains and rocks, the world, and the universe. Animals that can move at will rely on their speed of consumption to strengthen themselves, making them many times faster than plants!

Moreover, this is hell, where there is no shortage of small demons. The absolute strongmen who have emerged from countless battles will grow stronger indefinitely as they eat, unless they are accidentally eaten by Garfield.

Lex Luthor wants to target them, which is really, really difficult.

Kovarsky: "How about you go down and give it a try, Luther?" Kovarsky's voice came from the power armor: "I looked at the stats of your armor, and combined with my digital technology, how about we go down and kill a few demons for fun!"

"Fine! It's rare for me to find you so pleasing to the eye, you stinky penguin!"

"Ha! Lai Tu."

With the power armor at full power, it rapidly approached the ground amidst a sonic boom!
