I, V, Gotham Legend

Zod is a natural warrior. His fists are the crystallization of Krypton's tens of thousands of years of civilization, and he strikes his target quickly and deadly.

With unstoppable momentum, he smashed into Superman's forehead like a meteor, and the huge power stirred up a residual wind.

Then he stopped, his fist touching Superman's face with no effect, like a bag of water falling to the ground.

Clark's face darkened. He gave a light push, and Zod flew backwards at a much faster speed than when he rushed over.

"General!" The female Kryptonian Fiora reacted quickly. She immediately jumped behind Zod and hugged him.

Zod and Fiora flew backwards together, but their momentum was much reduced, and they fell to the ground together.

"Are you okay, General Zod?" Fiora stood up quickly, but was shocked to find that there were layers of cracks on Zod's armor.

Even Kryptonians cannot adapt their bodies to the environment of the universe or other planets. The armor they wear is the space suits used in interstellar exploration.

Zod struggled to get up from the ground. The broken layers of armor on his body fell off like eggshells, and his body, wearing only a tights, was exposed to the yellow sun.

"Gugaaaaaaah!" Zod fell to his knees as if affected by radiation. He felt dizzy and the world kept changing color.

"General!" The last male Kryptonian also realized that General Zod was not in a good condition, and he immediately ran to his two colleagues.

"He looks very uncomfortable." Superman also saw that Zod was in a bad condition, but he felt like he had seen it before.

It was like when he first felt his superpowers during adolescence.

Fiora glared at Superman from behind her mask: "You shouldn't do this, Carl. You have lost the qualifications to return to our side."

After saying that, the last male Kryptonian seemed to activate some instrument, and the spaceship once again threw a blue beam of light towards the position of the three aliens.

Superman did not try to stop it, and when the beam of light dissipated, there was no one in front of him.

The bow of the Kryptonian ship resembled the beak of a falcon, pointing its sharp fangs at Clark.

……

After feeling the hull shake, Lex Luthor realized that the guests he invited a week ago had arrived, and he quickened his pace to his destination.

Not long after the South Boston was first built, Luther personally donated one of the most advanced computers on Earth to it. The mainframe alone occupied enough space to fill an entire warehouse.

He knew very well where his destination was. After circling around and around in the maze-like cabin, he finally found the storage room for the supercomputer.

The soldiers he met along the way were either dizzy from the sudden shaking of the ship, or faithfully carrying out their mission of sealing the monsters' fight in the cabin. No one really stopped Luther.

Luther pushed open the computer room, which was empty. Due to the chronic high temperature in this room, no one would come here only for routine inspections and maintenance.

Luther walked to the corner of the room, next to a water pipe: "You came out too, Carlo."

The water pipe suddenly shook, and something like a snake inside it hit the water pipe, causing it to swell until it exploded. Shit-yellow mud broke the water pipe and jumped onto the ground in front of Luther like a slime.

"This is the last part of me left! I'm almost dying!" the Slimeface screamed and complained.

The large body of the Clayface Man was frozen in the original control room. The distance from there to here was beyond the control of the Clayface Man over his clone. The Clayface Man had no choice but to abandon his huge body that could no longer move and only allow this most important part to retain the consciousness of the original body.

"I will remember your contribution, Carlo. Now give me "that thing." Luther stretched out his hand to the slime-like clay-faced man.

The Clayface Man didn't say much. He obediently spit out an orange-yellow chip from his body cavity.

The Clayface Man first boarded the ship with the chip wrapped in Mayor Michel's fat body. When he entered the control room, he used the excuse of going to the toilet to stuff the part wrapped in the chip into the water pipe in advance and moved with Luther.

Therefore, Luther was not completely lying when he said that Clayface would never be able to get the chip back if he died. If Clayface died in the pipe, he would simply be discharged into the sea along with the chip.

"Do you want to take action immediately?" The Clayface asked, shaking his head as he watched Luther pick up the chip.

"Don't be in a hurry. The new Kryptonians don't understand their true power yet." Luthor looked up at the ceiling, as if he could see the spaceship through the metal wall.

"Then can you give me this thing first?" A cool and pleasant voice suddenly sounded. Luther turned around unexpectedly and saw the blue-haired mercenary standing behind him, pointing at the chip in his hand with a scallion finger.

NO67. Hacker Access Cabin

Zod was rushed to the medical room of the spacecraft, and black metal tentacles as thin as wires wrapped around his sturdy body.

Zod twitched as if he had been electrocuted. This was just an instinctive reaction when receiving treatment, but as he suddenly exerted force, the wire tentacles connected to the wall of the spacecraft were pulled off together.

"General!" Fiora was very surprised. The sturdiness of the spaceship's treatment room was not something that ordinary Kryptonians could tear apart. These exile ships specially built for them were not the kind of craftsmanship that would age to this extent in just twenty years.

Zod sat up trembling all over, breathing heavily and looking at his hands in disbelief.

In his eyes, the world seemed to change repeatedly in different colors. The feeling of dizziness and nausea still made him feel uncomfortable, and his eyes even hurt so much that he wanted to cry.

But at this moment, Zod felt that his whole body was full of strength.

"General, are you okay?" Fiora asked worriedly when she saw Zod sitting up.

"I feel the best I've ever felt... Is it the yellow sun?" Zod recalled the only unusual experience during this period. "I see... Joe."

"What are you talking about? Lord Zod, it was Carl who damaged your space suit, causing you to be exposed to direct radiation from the unfamiliar environment." Fiora said with a frown. "You almost died here."

Although Kal, who grew up normally, proved that Kryptonians can live normally on Earth, Zod's pain just now did not seem fake.

"No, this is not death, but rebirth." Zod stood up despite the discomfort, and put his hand on Fiora's shoulder. "Open the hatch, don't wear protective clothing, bring Kirk, we have to face this planet directly."

After being easily knocked away by Superman, Zod originally believed that Joe had transformed his son into some kind of biological weapon, but after personally experiencing the abnormality of his body after being directly exposed to the yellow sun, Zod seemed to finally understand.

The home planet where the Kryptonians live revolves around the red sun. Although the Kryptonians who grew up under the red sun still have stronger physical abilities than the people on Earth, they obviously cannot reach the level of Superman.

Earth's sun might give Kryptonians their powers.

Having said that, this is just Zod's guess. If he cannot fulfill his wish, it would be equivalent to ordering his only two remaining subordinates to die with him.

But Fiora had no objection to Zod's order. She took off her armor on the spot: "Understood, General."

……

The location where the spacecraft landed was very close to the military exercise, and a large number of troops had already noticed it.

In the computer room at the bottom of the South Boston's cabin, a tense atmosphere filled the entire room.

The blue-haired woman stood outside the door, leaning against the wall, while Luther and Valerie stood across a computer room as if confronting each other.

Although there was still some distance, Luther knew very well that as long as the woman in front of him was willing, he would be beheaded immediately.

"If I give this thing to you, you should be able to spare my life, right?" Luther raised the chip, and the expression on his face had returned to calm.

"If you keep acting like a cocky person, I won't let you go." Valerie said with a pout.

"Can I understand that Sky Eye is coveting my personal property?" Luther changed his words and hinted at Waller's weak spot.

The main purpose of the Sky Eye Society sending Task Force X is to sever the relationship between the chip theft and the government, and Valerie's behavior of snatching the chip from Luther is undoubtedly dragging the Sky Eye Society into the water.

But Valerie didn't care: "Yeah that's right, so give it to me."

[V!] Amanda sighed helplessly. Unfortunately, she could do nothing for V.

Seeing that Valerie was unmoved by his soft and hard words, Luthor finally sighed helplessly: "This was originally prepared for the Kryptonians."

As Luther finished his words, Valerie's feet suddenly lifted up and carried her towards the ceiling.

This was in stark contrast to the previous situation where Helena pulled down the ceiling and knocked down all the Clayfaces, but Valerie didn't just stand there and watch. She rolled forward and leapt into the computer room, with the ceiling and floor hitting each other behind her.

"I knew you were just stalling for time by talking nonsense." Valerie looked at the cross structure under the floor behind her that was already attached to the ceiling and looked like a fire truck.

"Then why did you let me complete my goal?" Luther said as he put a circle of metal rings on his bald head.

"I like to defeat my enemies head-on when they think they have a sure win."

Except guessing riddles.

“Hahaha…” Luther suddenly laughed softly, “Then you may be a little too confident. You should understand, Miss Mercenary, this is the metropolis. The battle between us is no longer something you can interfere with.”

"I beat up almost everyone who said that to me," Valerie said bluntly.

"Then I might be the first exception." Luther held the orange chip in front of Valerie. "Do you know what this is?"

"Hacker access cabin." Valerie blinked as she spoke, "It's orange equipment. So that's it. It's military technology type 5."

"..." Luther's boastful expression froze for a moment. If it was just a casual name, it wouldn't have shocked him, but V accurately stated the purpose of hacking.

"It seems that you do know a lot. Is this information given to you by Waller?" Luther only discovered this specific use a few months ago, and he was the only one who knew about it. Before that, everyone including him only knew that this was a high-tech related to the Internet.

"She doesn't know anything...it was originally mine." Valerie remembered collecting the hacker access pod.

Amanda on the other end of the line couldn't help but feel surprised when she heard the surprise in Luther's tone.

She had heard Valerie say before that she was the real owner of the chip, but she didn't take it seriously. But now, after hearing the conversation between the two on the communication, she couldn't help but hesitate.

"Well, it seems that I underestimated you before. There are many things about you that are worth studying." As he said that, Luther inserted the chip into the interface of the computer host next to him.

"This chip... I don't know how much you know about it, but I know it's very useful. Normally, if I wanted to hack into a bank to withdraw some pocket money for myself, I would have to spend a long time writing code."

Luther muttered to himself as he adjusted the controls. A steel needle pierced out from the metal ring on his head and pierced into his scalp.

"But with this device, I can do it with just a glance. If this technology came from your hometown, then I can only say it's genius." Luther didn't seem to feel any pain.

The lights of all the computer hosts lined up in the room lit up, and the sound of high-speed rotating fans rang out from every chassis.

Even though Luthor possesses extraordinary wisdom, he is not a cyborg after all. If he wants to use the hacker access cabin, he will need the assistance of a highly powerful computer.

And now, he was going to try to use this prop, which was even coveted by the government, in actual combat for the first time.

NO68. Happy New Year

Activating the hacker access cabin, Luther felt that the world seemed to slow down.

The colors of the world became darker, the sound of heat dissipation from the computer case became heavier, and V's movements seemed extremely slow to him.

It's not that he became faster or time slowed down, but that his brain's thinking ability doubled rapidly, and the world's top wisdom and supercomputer were integrated into one.

Luther once conducted experiments on other people, inserting chips directly into their brains. As a result, those people's brains were quickly burned out after the access cabin was activated.

This method of inserting the access capsule into the computer host and then connecting it to the top of his head through the brain ring is the most effective method he has discovered after countless experiments.

Although my movements are restricted and my already serious hair loss problem is exacerbated, it's all worth it.

"You locked me up with these computers?" Valerie looked back at the blocked door and then at Luther.

Luther didn't reply. He looked at Valerie in surprise. In his eyes, Valerie was emitting network signals all over her body.

"You actually... You are definitely not from Earth, at least not from the current Earth." Luther finally believed that the access cabin belonged to V.

His eyes were fixed on Valerie, and as if some mechanism had been triggered, a floating window suddenly appeared in his eyes.

what happened?

Luther didn't remember encountering such a situation before. In his past experiments, he used hacking abilities through programs he wrote in the computer and achieved the desired effects through mental arithmetic.

So, this is one of the real uses of the hacker access pod? Perhaps it was one of the main weapons in the place where this woman lived.

Luther guessed the truth immediately.

I really want to study you...but the most important thing right now is the Kryptonians.

Luther looked at Valerie, and according to his own understanding, he chose the button to commit suicide.

The woman pulled out the gun, swallowed the muzzle, and white and red spurted out from the back of her head, and fell to the ground without any surprise.

It's really disappointing, is that the extent of it?

Despite his disappointment, Luthor felt extremely satisfied with the power he had mastered. His target from the beginning was the Kryptonians, and V was just a small episode.

The sound of the chassis fan was like the audience applauding Luther, and Luther walked out of the house proudly with the headband on.

……

Luther lowered his head with a headband on his head, with an evil smile on his face, like a gloomy octopus.

There were still only two people in the room, and the fan noise from the chassis was not very loud. Valerie had already walked to Luther and put the unplugged Military Technology Type 5 into her pocket.

When Valerie saw the photo of the hacker access cabin sent by Amanda, she suspected that Luther might have found a way to use his hacking abilities.

So from the moment they started talking, Valerie tried to hypnotize Luther using the technique she learned from the Mad Hatter.

The Mad Hatter's technology uses sound as a medium. It is not easy to hypnotize a smart person like Luther, and it is not easy to find inconspicuous and rhythmic sounds.

Fortunately, there were plenty of computers here, and Valerie used the sound of the cooling fans as a medium for hypnosis.

Luther is a smart man, but even he can hardly calculate this unprecedented information gap.

Hypnosis takes time. Luther was stalling for time to activate the hacker access cabin, and Valerie was also waiting for Luther to be held in her palm.

"I like to defeat my self-righteous enemies head-on when they have the trump card they are sure to win." Valerie emphasized to Luther, who had lost his wisdom.

If the hacker access cabin is a high-tech method for hacking into computer networks, then, to put it simply, hypnosis is a method for hacking into the human brain.

The hypnotic state can be easily broken free of, so Valerie put the rabbit mask that enhances the effect on Luther's face.
