American Comics: Trading Tom Cat

Chapter 152 That's the sun, not a small stove

I don't understand, but I'm deeply shocked!

Compared to the kind of intuitive power, absolute strength, and absolute defense that is like that of a superman, this kind of eerie and powerful impact is somewhat weaker, but if you think about it more, it becomes terrifying when you think about it carefully.

Faced with absolute power and defense, at most you can only think that you can't win, and that is fear, the more you think about it, the more fearful and desperate you become!

It's impossible, whether you fight or run away!

Despair filled John Jones' eyes, and finally, he spoke in an extremely complex tone.

"With your power, the Equation of Life shouldn't have much effect anymore."

"That's not your concern. What you should be thinking about now is what kind of request to make."

"I am not a benevolent god, nor do I deign to bully the weak."

Robbery? Perhaps that was the thought at first, but now it's not even shameful enough. What's the fun in bullying a bunch of little ants or children?

Of course, this excludes things meant to amuse.

“Weak?” John Jones’s eyebrows twitched. To be honest, he never thought that word would fall on his head one day, and more importantly, he couldn’t refute it.

Compared to the person in front of him, he was indeed weak, incredibly insignificant.

After a moment of silence, John Jones suddenly punched himself in the chest, and a dazzling light burst forth from his mouth. The light gathered in mid-air and formed a complex and mysterious formulaic rune.

This is the life equation, the life equation of the Martian race. It has never been placed anywhere; it is hidden within the Martian body.

Looking at the life equation before him, a wisp of consciousness probed into it, savoring it carefully.

A moment later, a hint of appreciation appeared in Locke's eyes.

"As expected of your Martian race's greatest masterpiece, this thing is even more special than I imagined."

The Anti-Life Equation aims to refute the concept of life's wisdom and freedom, forcibly manipulating the freedom of life in order to control others.

The Equation of Life can then be understood. It encourages the 'freedom' of living beings and pursues their continuous evolution towards freedom, ultimately evolving into a higher level of life form, a near-perfect life form.

In simple terms, the life equation is what enables people to adapt to their circumstances, constantly generate various abilities, and eventually evolve to transcend the boundaries between the mortal and the divine, stepping into the position of the sub-father!

This is a well-established path of the Second Heavenly Father!

This is why the Martian race has so many abilities and almost no weaknesses; the Martians are evolving towards what they perceive as the perfect being.

For Locke, the Equation of Life was actually more interesting than the Anti-Life Equation. Darkseid admired the Anti-Life Equation more because Darkseid's essential quality was high enough. Another point is that a poor kid who had been starting all sorts of wars since he was eight years old and whose pursuit was slaughter and destruction, had no time to think about the question of wisdom.

I'm very satisfied with the product!

As he spoke, he glanced at John Jones, and then pointed with an unremarkable finger.

With a soft "plop," something inside Martian Hunter seemed to have been punctured by that finger. Feeling his strength rapidly increasing, John Jones was utterly shocked.

"What...what did you do? Why has my strength increased so quickly?!"

"This is the realm of the perfect being that you Martians have been striving for."

John Jones: ? ? ? ?

The perfect biological state that every Martian strives for, this person achieved with just a single finger?

"Hiss!" John Jones suddenly gasped.

This person's power is perhaps far more outrageous than he imagined.

But soon, he became excited.

If he had known that the trading life equation could yield such results, why would he have struggled at all? He would have already bowed down and offered it up respectfully.

Locke nodded slightly as he looked at John Jones, who was in a state of utter excitement.

The Life Equation is indeed very interesting. By constantly absorbing positive factors, such as hope and justice, various abilities are born, and the energy within the body is also constantly increasing. In other words, by using this thing, as long as you keep doing good deeds, your strength will gradually reach the top level.

The reason Locke was able to help this guy advance by one finger was simply because the guy's energy accumulation was already sufficient; he was only lacking the ability to break through the bottleneck. Relying on himself, he could succeed in three to five years, but Locke helped him accelerate that process.

Most importantly, the current life equation can advance to the level of a sub-father, but that doesn't mean that the limit is to advance to the level of a sub-father. This life equation still has the potential to advance further, and in the future it may be able to advance to the point where it can advance to the level of a mass advancement to the level of a father, or even an individual advancement!

Having a strong physical body is also a path to advancement, and the life equation naturally has an effect, but reaching that level is not easy.

Suddenly, there was a knocking sound at the door.

John Jones glanced at Locke subconsciously, his eyes questioning.

John Jones only got up after Locke nodded and obediently went to open the door like a servant.

The moment the door opened, everyone tensed up instantly!

A Wonder Woman, her long legs, longer than life itself, stretched taut, one hand unconsciously resting on her Vulcan sword.

The man opposite me is very strong, extremely strong!

It even gave her the feeling of facing Ares directly!

Superman was even more excited, looking at John Jones across from him with immense excitement.

Every cell in Superman's body was excited at this moment, excitedly telling him one thing: the seemingly ordinary being opposite him was someone on the same level as him!

This person is capable of fighting me head-on!

John Jones also looked solemn. A powerful woman who was no less powerful than him before he was hit by that one finger, and a terrifying being who was on the same level as him and at the level of a perfect being!

If I'm not mistaken, this should be the Superman from Metropolis!

As for Barry and Bruce, who came after them, John Jones completely ignored them, considering them two weaklings.

"Let them in," a soft voice said.

John Jones's imposing aura instantly dissipated, and a respectful expression instinctively appeared on his face: "Yes~"

After saying that, he opened the door and let everyone in.

Wonder Woman's beautiful eyes revealed a strange light, while Superman's eyes widened. How could someone on the same level as him show such respect? What kind of being could command such respect?

Barry and Bruce, on the other hand, who were ignored, walked in calmly first.

"Mr. Locke, it's nice to see you again." Judging from that carefree and slightly excited voice, it must be Barry, that simpleton.

Locke looked at Barry and nodded: "Barry, there's something I need your help with."

“Mr. Locke, if you say so, I will definitely help if I can.”

"We'll talk about that later."

A group of people squeezed into John Jones’s small room, which was already small, and now it became even smaller.

Of course, everyone was concerned about this point; they weren't there as guests.

Locke looked around and smiled slightly: "You guys are pretty fast. The main fighting force of the Justice League is almost complete."

Wonder Woman Diana's eyes lit up as she looked at this incredibly handsome man, who was far more attractive than she had imagined. Any woman would feel a strong liking for him, and even a demigod would be no exception.

However, this was not what truly made Wonder Woman Diana shine.

"So you're saying I'll join the Justice League someday?"

Locke nodded: "Of the Justice League's four pillars, Wonder Woman Diana is undoubtedly the second strongest member of the Justice League, second only to Superman."

Hearing this, Diana was somewhat unconvinced: "That big boy is indeed stronger than I am now, but it's not like I can't surpass him!"

As an Amazonian warrior, Diana's fighting spirit and determination to become stronger are second to none.

“No,” Locke shook his head, “If nothing unexpected happens, you will never have the chance to surpass him!”

Diana's beautiful eyes widened suddenly: "How is that possible! That big boy is very strong, but he is only at the level of a true god. I have personally killed Ares, the god of war. It is only a matter of time before I reach that level."

"What you call the true God, I prefer to call the Second Heavenly Father."

Bruce Wayne's expression shifted: "Is this your understanding of hierarchy?"

Ever since learning from Barry that for Locke, this world is just a comic book world, Bruce Wayne has been frantically reading comics. Can you believe that a cool, middle-aged man with a double chin can read more than ten comics a day?

It can only be said that not everyone is as ruthless as Bruce Wayne. It is precisely because of this that he learned a lot of things, such as the hierarchy, which is a very important thing in any comic book, and Bruce Wayne cares a lot about this.

This time, Locke did not ignore Bruce Wayne, but said calmly, "Yes, this is the most mature classification I know of at present, and it is sufficient to be used in your universe."

Upon hearing this, not only Bruce Wayne, but everyone present was interested. The ranking system was a crucial piece of information that clearly revealed the level of combat power.

Locke smiled and said, "The first level is the surface level, which is also the level that 99% of superhumans in the universe are at."

“Surface-level is also divided into three tiers: third-rate, second-rate, and first-rate. Bruce Wayne, with his physical abilities at the limit of human potential, plus various special gadgets, can barely be considered a third-rate.”

"Second-rate? You don't have that here. I can give you some data for reference. It should have a strength of more than ten tons, a speed of more than 20 meters per second, and be able to easily kill a hundred people head-on."

Barry and Bruce's expressions tightened; this kind of presence was already quite a burden for them.

"The next level above the surface is already enough for one person to rival an army, possessing the destructive power to destroy a town or a region. Diana is now considered to be at the limit of the first-class level."

"I'm only at the first level?" Diana murmured with a strange expression. She had always thought she was quite strong, but now that she saw it, this was all?

"Reaching the pinnacle of a first-rate being like Diana, if one were to make further breakthroughs, it would be a stage of advancement from the mortal to the divine, or to a higher level of life, which is called the sub-father."

"John Jones and Superman today belong to this level."

Bruce Wayne's expression immediately hardened. He took a deep look at the unremarkable John Jones. This man actually possessed strength comparable to Superman. He was too dangerous!

He silently began to calculate and plan in his mind.

"The level of the Sub-Father is quite special. Theoretically, there is no distinction between lower and middle levels. Because of the different foundations, the level that can be reached after breaking through will also be different. Sometimes, there can be some distinctions. As for how to make the distinctions, you can think about it yourselves."

"Above the Father is the true beginning of power, the true strength to roam the universe, enough to be called a cosmic overlord. This level is called the Father!"

“Diana, your father, Zeus, the king of the gods, was at this level, as was Superman Clark, the legendary sun god of your Kryptonian race.”

Upon hearing this, everyone present who aspired to power showed a burning desire.

Heavenly Father! Supreme Ruler of the Universe! Just hearing that sounds incredibly appealing.

"The hierarchy of the Heavenly Fathers varies greatly. To make the classification more standardized and detailed, we can divide them into the Lower Heavenly Father, the Middle Heavenly Father, the Higher Heavenly Father, and the Almighty Heavenly Father!"

"The Almighty Father is a superior Father whose combat power is exceptional. Once one reaches the level of the Almighty Father, it is not enough to dominate a universe. In fact, one can already have the foundation to advance into other universes."

"Above the Heavenly Father, there are two other levels: the single-universe level and the multiverse level. But you don't need to consider those. If one day you really see beings at that level, it will most likely mean that your universe is doomed."

 …

Silence fell, and for a moment, the scene became inexplicably silent.

Upon hearing these classifications, everyone vaguely realized their own insignificance.

The strongest among them had only just reached the second major realm, but there were still a whole bunch of realms ahead of them.

This sudden realization of one's own insignificance and the vast emptiness of the universe can easily induce a strong sense of unease.

"The Earth's surface, the sub-Father, the Father, the single entity, the multiverse... I never knew that this universe was so vast!" It was Superman, the relatively taciturn guy in the parallel universe, who was the first to recover from the shock.

His silence did not mean he was cold-hearted; on the contrary, it was filled with a fiery passion!

At this moment, the part of the Kryptonian gene that seeks power seemed to be touched, and a burning and fervent light appeared in his eyes.

Locke laughed too: "As expected of you, Superman Clark. Kryptonians are very common, and almost every one of them has the potential to become a sub-Father. However, there is only one Superman, and there will only be one you."

Hearing this, Wonder Woman Diana snapped out of her reverie and asked with some curiosity, "You said before that I could never surpass Clark, and now you're saying this again. Is it because Clark is special?"

Superman also looked at Locke with curiosity.

"Of course, he is the most special. He is the only one among you who has the potential to become a multi-faceted being."

"hiss!"

Several people present gasped in surprise.

Multiverse! This is the last realm Locke mentioned! Its very existence signifies a cosmic crisis! Superman possesses such terrifying potential!

Bruce Wayne's face showed a fleeting look of displeasure. He had always felt that Superman was difficult to deal with, but now he realized that Superman had such terrifying potential that he had to take precautions. He absolutely had to. However, he estimated that hundreds of millions of his brain cells would have to die.

Superman scratched his head, somewhat embarrassed, and said, "Actually, I'm not that strong."

“You are indeed not strong now, and even if you grow to your limit, you will only reach the limit of the Sub-Father at most.”

Superman was taken aback for a moment: "But didn't you just say..."

"Is there a contradiction between saying that you possess multifaceted potential and that you can only reach the limit of the sub-Father realm at present?"

"Right now you're just a regular Superman, but Superman can advance. As far as I know, there are dozens of Superman's advancement forms, such as Red Superman, King Superman, Cyborg Superman, Magic Superman, and so on."
