I, V, Gotham Legend

Norn closed his eyes until the movement path of the heat vision returned to normal, and then opened them again.

The air where the sparks flew was twisted and distorted, and Valerie's pale little face was bright again. She covered her stomach, moved her lips slightly, but said nothing, and her upper body slid down like melted ice cream.

Although he hit the opponent correctly, Norn was not complacent. He was surprised to find that although Valerie was broken into two halves, there was no blood spurting out or internal organs flowing out.

Norn's shock was soon resolved. The upper body of the woman fell to the ground, flickering like a light bulb, and then the human-like skin faded away, leaving only two robots covered with wires.

If Superman or Lois were here, they might be able to recognize that this is the simulation training ring robot designed by Valerie.

The simulation training robot was inspired by Valerie's own skin prosthesis optical camouflage, which distorts light to become invisible or deformed, and can actually avoid Norn's perspective ability.

In the original plan, the robot simulation Valerie was to mix with the phantom Valerie to disrupt the opponent's rhythm, but Norn cleanly turned off all the phantoms, causing Valerie's mechanism to be half destroyed.

But even so, Norn's eyes widened. He heard the heartbeat again in his keen senses, and the drum-like rhythm was still healthy and loud, as if mocking him.

Norn was furious. This time he stepped directly to where the sound came from and punched out in anger.

This time it was also a fake as expected. Before it could even transform into Valerie's appearance, it was smashed into pieces. The machine parts flew out like a shotgun and even embedded themselves in the wall.

Norn stood still again, and the sound of his heartbeat came again, but this time he was not in a hurry to attack.

The robots that popped up one after another made Norn realize that something was wrong. He let go of his senses and listened carefully to the entire spaceship. This time there was no interference, but he did not hear any sound other than that of the heart.

Something is wrong. If this is also fake, then where is the real woman? She doesn't look like she can walk in the air, and this is 10,000 meters above the ground...

Norn's head shot up, and he realized that he had missed an important point.

He flew to the wall and punched hard, breaking the wall easily. The convection wind blew into the cabin, lifting his long curly hair.

Not far from his spaceship, the last Kryptonian spaceship, which was supposed to be unmanned, had floated to the same level as him.

The energy cannon that had been fully charged and could change the terrain was no longer perpendicular to the ground. The disc-shaped spacecraft was tilted sideways, with the muzzle facing Norn in a disturbing way.

Norn felt as if his whole body was frozen.

"When did...you actually go there?!"

The key stand was destroyed by him personally, and it was impossible for him to control the spaceship to dodge.

Valerie, who had completed the extreme home exchange, sat cross-legged on the chair of the spaceship, looked at the stiff face frozen on the monitor, and greeted with a smile, although the other party might not be able to see it.

"Your cannon looks more powerful." Valerie looked at the subtitles on the console indicating that the battery was fully charged and pressed the launch button.

The light cannon prepared for the planet sprayed out like a doomsday light tearing the sky apart, engulfing the spaceship that brought Superman to Earth.

NO83. The power given by the sun (two in one)

The slightly raised muzzle spewed out a destructive beam of light, which crashed into Superman's spaceship from diagonally below. There was almost no suspense, and the spaceship evaporated like a drop of water dropped into an oven.

The beam of light passed through the sky, as if tearing a crack in the atmosphere, and rushed straight into outer space. Satellites from all countries in the world captured the divine punishment of tearing space in the universe at the same moment.

Whether it was the citizens trying to escape in the metropolis or the soldiers fighting on the coast, their attention was attracted by this beam of light. Although the terrifying high temperature separated them from the sky by ten thousand meters, the people on the ground could still feel the hot wind blowing on their faces.

Superman looked at the beam of light in the sky with a complicated expression. Although his attention was distracted by the battle, he still took the time to observe the spaceship battle in the sky.

He watched with his own eyes as the spaceship carrying his father was reduced to ashes by the bombardment, so cleanly and neatly as if it had never existed in this world.

Although he was tormented by heartache and sadness, Superman suppressed his negative emotions deep in his heart, because he knew that this was a necessary sacrifice.

"I will always remember you, father." Superman locked Fiora's joints and whispered softly as if saying goodbye.

......

The last remaining spaceship in the sky was shaking slightly, with a red light shining brightly in the cockpit, and a piercing alarm and danger lights flashing rhythmically. This was because the spaceship's automatic protection system also determined that the orbital cannon it fired was dangerous.

Watching the charging bar on the control panel gradually returning to zero, and the beam of light from the muzzle slowly thinning and dissipating, Valerie put down her crossed legs and pulled the data cable on her wrist off the console.

While using lead powder to briefly fascinate Norn, Valerie had already gotten wet. She jumped into the opposite spaceship and took advantage of the time when Norn was being dragged to simply modify the enemy's spaceship.

In order to operate the spaceship, Valerie specially modified the operating table and installed a USB port on it. Fortunately, the structure of the operating table of this Kryptonian battleship was not much different from that of other Kryptonian spaceships she was familiar with, so her modification was successful.

It's a pity that Valerie didn't feel that the spaceship had become her property because of her transformation, and the fierce Kryptonian opposite was obviously not willing to sell this precious spaceship to her.

But it doesn't matter, Valerie can still fly the spaceship, and she plans to take it back to Gotham to study it slowly.

Valerie was lying in her seat. She had been in a state of extreme tension ever since she faced the Kryptonian. In addition, she was in close contact with the orbital cannon. Even with the spacecraft cabin blocking her, her skin was still hot due to the blood flow. Now she just wanted to take a rest.

Since the spaceship was not judged as a vehicle by Valerie's mysterious ability, the energy of this spaceship was still limited. Just in case, Valerie temporarily cut off the system, allowing the spaceship to float in the air only as a living being.

Feeling her body gradually cooling down, Valerie stood up from her chair. She felt her titanium bones aching and her brain dizzy as if she had dropped out of school.

It seems that just connecting via a data cable to achieve the same ability to operate the spacecraft as Old Joe is still a big burden on her body.

Valerie took a few unsteady steps in the cockpit, as if she was re-adjusting her body.

She walked to the edge of the cockpit. According to the results of the data cable connection just now, this was the safe exit of the Kryptonian spaceship. She could leave the spaceship from here. She wanted to go out for some fresh air and summon Superman's spaceship again, so that the more convenient tool man, Old Joe, could control this trophy for her.

But just as Valerie walked to the wall, her face suddenly changed, and she reflexively activated Swanwestin and wanted to jump back.

However, the change was faster than Valerie's. A strong arm pierced through the wall like a layer of paper, grabbed Valerie's neck, and lifted her up easily.

Valerie looked at the arm that was around her neck in disbelief. There were obvious signs of large-scale burning on it. Under the carbonized skin, the muscle tissue was woven together like a bamboo basket.

The wall shattered like chocolate, and a man with half of his face burned appeared in front of him with a face like a devil from hell. He was naked, and except for that half of his face, his whole body was covered with burn marks.

The half of the face that was left was enough for Valerie to recognize that this was the Kryptonian she had faced before.

Valerie held the Kryptonian's wrists with both hands. The feeling of suffocation made her legs shake uncontrollably. The shame was that she clearly felt that the Kryptonian did not use any force.

"It hurts... It hurts so much!" The Kryptonian growled and complained, and as if venting his anger, he threw Valerie out.

Valerie felt dizzy, followed by a sharp pain that made her bones tremble.

She saw stars as if she had stood up suddenly due to low blood sugar. When her brain regained consciousness, she noticed that she was embedded in the wall.

When I came to my senses, Norn, who was originally on the other side of the room, was already standing in front of me.

"I'm going to torture you!" Norn's only intact eye was filled with bloodshot.

Valerie laughed weakly, "You burned so much, but you still can't run fast enough. What do you mean? You are the two-faced person."

Norn didn't understand, nor was he interested in understanding Valerie's trash talk. The pain all over his body and the extreme humiliation made him no longer care about the so-called plan and the general's orders. He just wanted this bitch to die in extreme pain.

Norn grabbed Valerie's head and lifted her up, with a red light flashing in his only eye. He wanted to burn this woman into a pulp from the bones.

But after Valerie was lifted into the air again, she did not surrender. She waved her hand stubbornly and hit Norn on the shoulder.

Norn's entire body was suffering from burns, but he still felt the stinging pain. His only eye moved and looked towards his shoulder.

Valerie held a needle in her hand and stabbed it into his burnt flesh. Her fingers pressing on the syringe were trembling, and it was obvious that she couldn't inject the medicine in the needle no matter what.

Even Norn's brain, which was tortured by pain and unable to think, could not help but find the woman's dying struggle ridiculous. He did not crush the woman's head as originally planned, but smashed her to the ground again.

The floor of the Kryptonian spaceship was smashed into pieces. Valerie gritted her teeth to prevent herself from crying out in pain. Her forehead was covered with sweat. She struggled to get up, but her body lost strength uncontrollably.

It seemed as if the spine was broken.

Norn pulled out the needle from his shoulder, threw it in front of Valerie, and stomped it into pieces.

"You almost succeeded! Despicable woman." Norn looked at Valerie who was struggling to turn over, and his tone was as resentful as a devil from hell. "But all the plans you racked your brains to come up with are meaningless in the end. You are just struggling to survive."

"You talk too much..." Valerie lowered her head and looked at the floor, her expression hidden under her hair.

Her arm popped out the mantis knife, but she no longer had the strength to swing it. She stuck the blade into the ground and tried to stand up with the help of the blade. The blue electric current flowed along the blade and dissipated weakly into the floor.

"This is my mercy!" Norn stepped on Valerie's shoulder and pressed her half-raised body back to the ground. Valerie could hear the numbing cracking sound from her shoulder blade.

After Norn vented his anger by stomping on her, he squatted down again and grabbed Valerie's hair. "How much have you paid to deal with me? Your spaceship, those robots that look well-made, but what have you done? No matter how hard the powerless ants struggle, they are still just ants."

"You don't look as comfortable as you say." Valerie's head was pulled up so that she could see half of Norn's face, which was completely disfigured. "You feel swelled up because you have a little bit of powerful power that you have never experienced before? I know that feeling very well, and I have suffered for it."

Valerie's expression didn't look like she had her life in her hands at all. The feeling of uneasiness came over Norn again, but looking at the woman's weak face, he couldn't imagine the possibility of any disaster.

"Do you think you still have any deterrent power now?"

"I know a scientist from Krypton. Although he only has a part of his memory left, he has done a lot of research on what superpowers Kryptonians can gain after coming to Earth." Valerie suddenly became talkative, as if she had grasped something. "You were exposed to a completely different kind of sunlight on Earth than back home, right? It gave you unparalleled abilities."

"This is God's will." Norn felt his muscles itching. His disabled body was also healing. This was an ability he could not imagine before coming to Earth. "This sun gave us power so that we can control this galaxy. No matter how unfair you feel, this is the fact."

"The powerful force has gone to your head... or maybe I have damaged your brain." Valerie mocked Norn's intelligence, "I guess you are also a marginal figure in your hometown, so you talk so much when you rarely show off."

Norn frowned his already burnt brows, the feeling of uneasiness becoming stronger and stronger, he felt that he had overlooked something, but the pain all over his body tortured his consciousness, making his brain a mess.

"I think I've said it once? It doesn't matter." Valerie raised the corner of her mouth and put on a mocking smile: "I'm waiting for the mechanism to start, what are you waiting for?"

As Valerie finished her words, the entire interior of the spacecraft suddenly lit up with a blood-red light, like a dazzling magnesium bomb suddenly dropped into the darkness.

Norn closed his eyes subconsciously. He felt the familiar sunlight shining on him. The feeling from his hometown wiped away the incongruity in his bones. He bared his teeth: "What is this?"

"What do you think?" Valerie's cool voice no longer sounded weak, and Norn felt that his hands suddenly could not hold back.

He tried hard to open his eyes, and looked at the woman who had been lying on the ground unable to move in disbelief, as she stood up as if ignoring what had happened. Apart from her dirty clothes, there was no trace of her previous disheveled appearance.

Valerie took Norn's bloody hand and pulled it out of her hair.

Norn looked at his wrist in disbelief. He felt a force that he shouldn't have felt.

Norn subconsciously tried to pull back his hand, but Valerie did not stop him. He staggered back a few steps because he used too much force. Then shame crept into his heart, and he clenched his other hand into a fist and swung it towards Valerie with a sound of breaking wind.

Valerie simply stretched out her hand and grasped the fist that had rushed in front of her. The huge force made Valerie's arm tremble slightly, but that was all.

The two of them remained in a stalemate.

What's going on? Why did this guy suddenly become stronger?

Norn swallowed his saliva, and the movement pulled the wound, but he had no time to care about the pain.

No, I've become weak!

Looking at Valerie's pretty face dyed red by the light, he finally realized what was happening.

"Superman's father thought his son would be out of place living on Earth, so he prepared a device that could temporarily seal his Kryptonian superpowers." Valerie recalled the ordinary-looking room she had passed by when she was modifying the weapon system of the spacecraft. "After I boarded this spacecraft, I deliberately filled this room with this stuff, after all, I couldn't guess how many Kryptonians there were here."

That being said, she was careless enough to disable the ship's systems after the orbital cannon shot vaporized Superman's ship. If she hadn't been careful enough to bury a charging and starting wire under the floor, she might have really flipped over.

Norn's teeth were chattering, and he couldn't even break into a cold sweat because his skin was burned.

"You said before that a powerless ant is still an ant no matter how hard it struggles, right?" Valerie put the syringe she had injected back into her pocket with her other hand. "Well, now you have turned back into the ant you mentioned. We are equal now. What do you think? Ant?"

"This is impossible..." Norn tried to open his eyes wide, and to his surprise, there was still heat burning in his eyes.

But before the hot rays of light burst out of his eyes, Valerie had already reached out and held his chin, lifting his face upwards, and the orange-red light shot towards the ceiling, creating sparks like electric welding.

Although there were still traces left on the ceiling, it had obviously lost its previous power to destroy the world.

Valerie loosened her hand, then threw a punch, hitting Norn in the chest. This time, Norn was no longer as motionless as a mountain, but flew backwards like a thrown discus, drawing an arc in the air, and finally fell to the ground.

"It seems that there is still a lot of strength left." Valerie was bathed in the red sun's rays, and she did not feel any discomfort. "But how much can you still exert?"

Norn struggled to get up, then retched in pain.

The supreme god-like power was suddenly taken back and disappeared, and the woman who had just been pinned to the ground by him punched him away. This sudden change made Norn feel a huge gap.

The self-confidence that I had just built up collapsed, especially since I was suffering from extensive injuries.

"Can you still move?" Valerie looked at Norn who had stood up and raised her chin slightly. "We have plenty of time to play slowly."

NO84. Teach by example

The light of the red sun does not come from any spotlight, but is emitted from the material on the inner wall.

Just like a light source is thrown into a glass house, wherever you look there is a dazzling red light. This sunlight, which is no different from the sunlight on Krypton, should make the Kryptonians feel at ease.

But in Norn's eyes at this moment, it was like a scene from hell.

"Where did you get these things from?" Norn asked with blood flowing from his eyes.

"Your people," was all Valerie said.

Old Joe's research can gather the light of the yellow sun and transform it into a red sun, but the conversion device requires a lot of energy. When he came to Earth and realized that his son might doubt his life because he was incompatible with ordinary Earthlings, he deliberately dormantd the other energy needs of the spacecraft and only maintained the room that released the red sun.

To his relief, Clark's will was stronger than he had imagined. Being temporarily rejected by people who feared him was not enough to make him doubt himself. Originally, he had stopped maintaining the Red Sun Room after Valerie repaired the spaceship.

"What a pity, I only thought of this trick when I boarded this spaceship... otherwise I could have taught you a lesson when I was on that ship." Valerie couldn't help but feel sorry for the evaporated spaceship.

Although it is possible to summon the scrapped vehicle again, it will cost $100. Although it is not worth mentioning to Valerie now, it is still money.

I don't know why, but after the system in the game became a reality, the price was not readjusted according to the exchange rate. The car repair fee of 100 euros in the game was replaced by 100 US dollars. Considering the value of the euro shown in the game, it can only be said that inflation is lamentable.

Norn raised his fist shakily. He was not good at fighting, and the serious injuries on his body affected his already sluggish body.

However, even so, the Kryptonian still has excellent physical fitness, and in the brief wrestling with Valerie just now, he was not completely at a disadvantage.
