Just arrived at Marvel, the system rewards the Man of Steel

Xiao Han's voice came from behind, "The crossroads of all worlds."

Diana turned around and saw Xiao Han standing in front of a huge star map, with countless points of light flowing at his fingertips.

She noticed that these spots of light all had faint shadows of the world.

"here it is...…"

"Our first stop."

Xiao Han pointed to the nearest crystal sphere.

"Want to go see it? A different world?"

Diana walked up to him and suddenly pointed in another direction.

"Why is that world different?"

Xiao Han followed her gaze and a dark red sphere appeared before his eyes.

He raised his eyebrows, showing interest: "It seems that our journey will have to be temporarily changed.

"Let's go, Princess of Paradise Island. Looks like we have to go take a look."

Diana drew the Vulcan Sword without hesitation, her eyes ablaze with fighting spirit.

"Lead the way, my guide."

With a flash of starlight, the two figures disappeared from the dimensional hub and rushed towards that strange world.

Chapter 197 The Mutated World

When the blue light dissipated, Diana slowly opened her eyes. The scene before her made her hold her breath for a moment.

Under the gray sky, the once prosperous city is now reduced to ruins.

Twisted rebar protruded from the concrete like the fingers of a dying man.

In the distance, a few wisps of black smoke were still rising, and the air was filled with a pungent smell of burning and some indescribable smell of corruption.

"Gods be upon you."

Diana's pupils shrank slightly. "What happened here? Is it the end of the world?"

A faint golden light flashed in Xiao Han's eyes, and his super vision penetrated the thick radiation cloud.

"You're right. This place has indeed experienced a nuclear explosion, and the entire earth is shrouded in nuclear radiation."

"Nuclear bomb explosion?"

Diana turned around in shock, "Why would humans do this?"

Xiao Han did not answer immediately, but continued to scan the world.

His expression gradually became strange. "It's not just one city. More than 90% of the world's major cities are in ruins."

Diana clenched the Lasso of Truth. "Are there any survivors on Earth?"

"Wait, I found it."

Xiao Han's gaze was fixed on the western part of the North American continent. "There is a steel fortress there."

As his sight deepened, Xiao Han was surprised by the situation inside the fortress.

He saw.

A strong man tore the car wreckage in half with his bare hands

Four slimy tentacles extended from behind a resident

As well as a worker with three arms and a child with two heads.

Were these mutations caused by nuclear radiation? Xiao Han was curious.

Then, his expression became even weirder. In a dark corner, a thin man suddenly knelt down and vomited, with black sticky substance pouring out of his mouth.

The mass of matter quickly wrapped around his entire body, and in the blink of an eye it turned into a black monster with a mouth full of fangs.

"Symbiote?"

Xiao Han narrowed his eyes, "It seems that this world is more complicated than I imagined."

Diana noticed the change in his expression: "What did you see?"

Xiao Han retracted his gaze and said in a deep voice: "A world destroyed by nuclear war. The survivors have either mutated or been parasitized by some alien symbiote."

Diana immediately entered combat mode, with the sword of Vulcan blazing in her hand.

"So what we're dealing with now is a mix of mutants and aliens?"

Xiao Han nodded slightly, his eyes sweeping across the barren wasteland.

"This world is indeed strange. We have to find out."

Diana tightened her grip on the Lasso of Truth and nodded at him.

The next second, the space twisted slightly, and the two figures disappeared from their original position in an instant.

When they reappeared, they were already standing inside the steel city.

Dazzling searchlights shone from all directions, and the air was filled with a strange smell mixed with engine oil and blood.

Diana frowned at the sight.

On the street on the left, a burly man covered in scales was dragging the corpse of a mutant beast, leaving a long trail of blood on the ground.

On the stall in the front right, a four-armed vendor was selling some kind of glowing meat. The stall had a sign saying "Pure Natural Radioactive Beast Meat"

Further away, several children with insect-like shells extending from their backs were chasing and playing. The toys they were playing with were the skulls of some monsters.

"Welcome to the new world, Diana." Xiao Han whispered.

Suddenly, there was a commotion from the end of the street.

The crowd scattered in panic, only to see a monster covered in black slime rampaging around.

The monster sometimes transformed into a human form, and sometimes turned into a ferocious beast. Wherever it passed, metal twisted and walls collapsed.

"Is this that kind of symbiote?" Diana immediately assumed a fighting stance.

But the strange thing is that the residents around here seem to be used to it.

They simply retreated indifferently to a safe distance, and a few even began placing bets on how much damage the symbiote could cause.

"The moral code of this world has completely collapsed."

Xiao Han narrowed his eyes and noticed the flashing surveillance equipment on the tower in the distance.

"somebody is coming."

Sure enough, a shrill alarm suddenly sounded.

A team of fully armed soldiers came from all directions. Their equipment had obviously been modified, and some even had weapons embedded directly into their mutated limbs.

"Unnumbered symbiote, surrender immediately!"

The leading soldier roared, his right eye having been transformed into a red mechanical eye, emitting a dangerous scanning beam.

Beside them, Diana looked at Xiao Han, waiting for his instructions.

Xiao Han showed a meaningful smile: "It seems that we are going to meet the ruler here."

Just as they were confronting the symbiote, Xiao Han snapped his fingers lightly.

Time seemed to stand still, and everyone's expression froze at a certain moment.

He walked calmly towards the soldier with the mechanical eye and put his hand on his forehead.

"Let me see what's going on in this world."

Xiao Han's eyes shone with golden light, and countless fragments of memories flooded into his consciousness like a tide.

Soon, Xiao Han withdrew his hand, and the golden light in his eyes gradually faded away.

He turned to look at Diana with a serious expression.

"Three years ago, a full-scale nuclear war broke out in the world. The United States and Russia started the war first, and then the whole world was drawn in. In just three months, human civilization was almost destroyed."

Diana looked at the devastated scene in shock. "So?"

"These people are the lucky ones who survived the nuclear war," Xiao Han nodded.

"The nuclear radiation changed their genes. Some of them were able to absorb the radiation energy in the atmosphere and became stronger, while others developed limb mutations."

At this moment, a loud earth-shaking noise came from the distance.

The two looked in the direction of the sound and saw a huge black shadow appear on the horizon.

It was a monster over eighty meters long, shaped like a crocodile but with six legs and its back covered with scales.

"This is what they call a mutant beast."

Alarms blared throughout the steel city.

The residents on the streets skillfully began to take shelter, while those whose bodies had mutated took up weapons and prepared to fight.

The officer with mechanical eyes suddenly broke free from the stillness of time. He looked around in confusion and found Xiao Han and Diana.

"who are you?"

Diana was about to answer when several dark shadows suddenly streaked across the sky.

I saw more than a dozen human figures covered in black mucus flying out from the center of the city and heading straight for the giant beast.

"That's the Symbiote Warrior?" Diana asked in surprise.

A look of awe crossed the officer's face. "They are the chief's personal guards. Ever since the meteorite brought these symbiotes two years ago, we have been able to fight against the behemoths."

Xiao Han watched thoughtfully as the black figures fought with the giant beasts.

The symbiotes cooperated with each other tacitly. Some turned into sharp blades to cut the joints of the giant beast, and some turned into giant hammers to hit its head.

One of the symbiotes suddenly expanded and deformed, and in an instant it grew to the same size as the giant beast.

"interesting."

Xiao Han whispered, "The evolution speed of these symbionts is far beyond expectations."

Diana gripped the Vulcan sword tightly: "Should we help?"

Xiao Han shook his head: "Observe first, this world is very interesting."

He turned to the officer, "Take us to your leader."

The officer hesitated for a moment, but when he saw the golden light in Xiao Han's eyes, he immediately nodded.

"plz follow me."

As they walked towards the city center, Diana noticed that the buildings on both sides of the street were covered with strange lines. Those lines were glowing slightly and slowly wriggling as if they had life.

"That's the symbiote's nest."

The officer explained, "The Guardians reinforced the walls with symbiote matter, which can automatically repair damage."

At this moment, the tall tower in the center of the city suddenly shot out a dazzling beam of light, directly hitting the giant beast in the distance.

With a deafening roar, the giant beast fell to the ground, stirring up a cloud of dust.

The officer bowed his head in awe. "It was the Lord who did it."

Xiao Han and Diana exchanged glances.

In this devastated world, humanity seems to have embarked on a strange path in order to survive.

And the leader in that tall tower seemed to know more.

Chapter 198 Symbiote Leader

Xiao Han and Diana followed the mechanical-eye officer through the streets of the Steel City.

He deliberately slowed down his pace and observed everything in this doomsday world.

This world is full of mysteries and everything looks strange.

It seemed to be a stitched world, and he had some guesses.
