Chapter 554: Parallax Demon Attacks
"The victor is always more generous, but unfortunately, I am the loser."
Hector looked at Hal and sneered, "Hal, I will turn you into a monster too, a monster just like me. Do it."
With that, Hector and the other four metahumans simultaneously attacked, and a large number of objects continuously smashed towards Diana and Hal.
"You're completely broken."
Hal cursed, manifesting several large green hands to swat away all the incoming objects.
"I'll catch you and make you tell me everything."
Diana snorted, slicing an incoming car in half with a single sword stroke. The car split into two, flew past her, and crashed to the ground with a thud.
Andrew took a sip of tea and said into his communicator, "It seems a major disaster is here again. Justice League, assemble."
"I'm already on my way there. Shit, what happened to the promised City-level disaster? Why is it a world-ending crisis again? Can't we just rest for a few more months?"
Tony cursed and commanded, "Flash, go bring Aquaman, Cyborg, and Batman to Coast City. Superman, you go to Space. The enemy should be coming from Space.
General Calvin, the American Military needs to move quickly. Also, have the police evacuate Coast City."
"Alright, there's an air base near Coast City, they'll be here immediately. The army will also depart at once."
General Calvin didn't waste words and immediately agreed. Then, he shouted, "Get me the President. I need war authorization."
"I'm going to Space right now. I should have taken more days off."
Clark sighed helplessly. He walked into an empty alley, pulled open his shirt, revealing a dark blue bodysuit with an'S' symbol underneath.
"I can't make it for now. Joker and Harley Quinn have hijacked a chemical truck and want to play games with me. I'm currently pursuing them."
Batman said helplessly. After Harley Quinn's return, Joker clearly became more energetic.
Flash said, "I'll be right there. Cyborg, Aquaman, where are you?"
"I'm at the Metropolis laboratory. I'll send you my location, come pick me up."
Cyborg said, then he nodded to his companion, the future Atom, Ryan Choi, and walked to the balcony to wait for Flash.
Ryan Choi looked at Cyborg, who was about to depart, feeling a wave of envy. I want to be a Super Hero too.
Aquaman said awkwardly, "Uh, I'm in the bathroom. Give me two minutes, no, one minute."
Flash was stunned, "In the bathroom?"
Aquaman retorted, "What's the problem? Don't Super Heroes need to use the bathroom?"
Cyborg said faintly, "I don't."
"... fuck." Aquaman couldn't help but curse.
Flash gossiped, "You guys, do you think Superman needs to use the bathroom?"
"..."
Superman, who had just flown into Space, was speechless. Why was this something to be concerned about?
Putting aside the gathering Justice League for now, in Coast City, Diana's figure flickered, and five identical figures appeared around her, simultaneously attacking the monstrous individuals.
Diana had divine power protecting her, so the monstrous individuals couldn't distinguish her true form through Mind Reading. They could only use telekinesis to envelop her or control objects to hurl at her.
Four Dianas disappeared one after another, and the real Diana rushed in front of Hector, slamming her shield heavily towards his head.
Hector quickly used his telekinesis to block Diana's shield, while rapidly retreating.
Seeing this, Diana swung her Lasso of Truth to entangle him. Then, she pulled hard, and Hector was drawn towards the shield.
Hector was startled, and his telekinesis erupted, intending to blast Diana away. Diana endured his telekinesis and raised her divine shield.
Bang, Hector crashed heavily into the shield, falling down dizzy. Diana stomped on his chest and shouted, "Tell me everything you know."
The other four saw Hector captured and collectively used their telekinesis to try and throw Diana off. Seeing this, Hal manifested four green motorcycles and sped towards them.
The four quickly dodged. Just as they were about to attack again, a laser beam whistled down, piercing through the head of one of the monstrous individuals.
"I'm in a very bad mood right now. Don't waste my time."
Iron Man descended from the sky and said coldly. The civilians who had fled to a distance saw him and shouted in surprise, "Bald terminator."
"Not bald terminator, it's Iron Man."
Tony's face darkened, and he glared fiercely at Andrewbeside him. Andrew calmly drank his tea, 'What does it have to do with me? I didn't make Alice promote your title like crazy on TikTok.'
With Tony and Hal present, the other monstrous individuals couldn't interfere with Diana. Under the power of the Lasso of Truth, Hector confessed:
"Parallax is coming. It's the embodiment of fear. It wants to devour Hal, to devour all humans on Earth."
"Parallax?"
Tony was startled. He asked, "Isn't the Green Lantern Corps supposed to deal with it?"
"I don't know what the Green Lantern Corps is. I only know that, besides me, all of you will die."
Hector laughed loudly. Just then, he sensed something, and with endless fear and madness, he shouted, "It's here, it's here..."
Everyone's hearts sank. At this moment, Superman's voice sounded: "A super ugly monster is rapidly flying towards Earth, and it's accompanied by some yellow-glowing guys.
Uh, besides the color, these guys are very similar to Hal."
Sound cannot travel in Space. Superman could speak because he used a special communicator, but we won't go into details about that.
"It's really here?"
Everyone's expressions were grim. Tony shouted, "Superman, intercept them as much as possible. We'll deal with these guys and then go to Space to help you."
Superman said, "I'll try."
"Alice, start promoting my live stream."
Andrew took out his phone, started a live stream, and then pointed the camera at Superman flying in Space—nano-camera, quantum communication technology.
Because of Alice's promotion, many viewers entered the live stream. When they saw the streamer's name, they were speechless—"Very Low-Key Wonder Woman's Boyfriend."
"Streamer, how are you low-key?"
"Streamer, it's a miracle you've lived this long without being beaten to death."
"Streamer, give me your address, I'm coming to find you."
The viewers complained. At this moment, someone noticed the live stream screen and asked in surprise, "Why is Superman in Space?"
"Good question. Superman is in Space because a world-ending disaster is about to happen."
Andrew said into his phone. Carol looked at Andrew in surprise. What was this legendary family member doing?
"World-ending disaster?"
The viewers were greatly surprised and eagerly asked what was happening. Of course, some also cursed, thinking he was alarmist. 'Are you kidding? How long has it been since the last world-ending disaster? And another one?'
"Here's the situation: in the universe, there's a Green Lantern Corps..."
Andrew introduced the situation while displaying various images: "In short, Parallax is here, ready to destroy Earth. Uh, it has already appeared."
The camera shifted to the front of Superman, where Parallax, covered in tentacles, appeared in the distance with Sinestro and eleven Yellow Lantern Warriors.
"So ugly."
The viewers couldn't help but complain. Super Heroes and the American Military felt the same way—the American Military was watching satellite footage, which was far less clear than Andrew's live stream.
Parallax saw Superman standing proudly in Space, with a red cape behind him, and was somewhat surprised. It said with a mental wave, "You are not human."
"I am human, Parallax. Stop. This is not where you belong."
Superman shouted loudly through his communicator. Parallax sneered, "Do you really think you can stop me? Sinestro, kill him."
Sinestro didn't waste words, flying forward and manifesting a large yellow sword with yellow light, which he slashed fiercely at Superman.
"Sinestro? fuck, didn't he say he was going to deal with Parallax? How did he end up being dealt with by Parallaxinstead?"
Tony cursed. What Green Lantern Corps? Why were they as unreliable as S.H.I.E.L.D.?
General Calvin asked, "Sinestro? The Alien who took the Alien remains? He's become an enemy?"
"Yes, it seems this time, we can only rely on ourselves."
Tony said, "Uh, General Calvin, open TikTok. Someone is live streaming the battle in Space, in ultra-high definition."
"Ultra-high definition live stream of a Space battle? That's impossible. Even our American Military can't do something like that, let alone anyone else."
General Calvin didn't believe it at all. He said, "Uh, Tony Stark, at such a serious moment, you're promoting TikTok to me?
Do you think it's possible for a American Military Generalto command a war by watching TikTok?"
Tony retorted, "Why not? There was an organization that did exactly that before."
As a proper General, a disguised Alien, General Calvinhad never used TikTok, but his secretary had.
"General."
The secretary was shocked to see the clear live stream on TikTok and quickly handed the phone to General Calvin.
General Calvin glanced at the ultra-high definition screen on the phone, then at the blurry screen, and was speechless. After a moment, he said, "Switch half the screen to the live stream."
Half, was his last stubbornness.
"Yes, General."
No one had any objections, after all, the difference was simply too great.
Once the screen conversion was complete, General Calvinrelayed the matter to the President. The President looked at the screen and asked in surprise, "How is this possible?"
"Others certainly can't do this, but this streamer can, because he's Wonder Woman's boyfriend, the number one Scientist in the world."
The aide pointed to the streamer's name. Everyone looked at the name, speechless. 'How are you low-key, you bastard?'
The President was very puzzled, "Why is he live streaming the battle footage?"
No one could answer the President's question. Of course, this didn't prevent them from immediately switching their screens to the live stream.
In Space, Superman shattered Sinestro's yellow greatsword with a single punch. Then, he charged fiercely in front of Sinestro and unleashed a heavy punch at him.
Sinestro immediately manifested a shield to block Superman's punch. The next second, the shield shattered, and Sinestro was sent flying backward.
Parallax was a bit surprised. Its yellow-glowing tentacles slammed heavily towards Superman. Superman's eyes glowed red, and two Heat Visions blasted onto Parallax's tentacles.
Under the bombardment of the Heat Vision, Parallax's tentacles were rapidly cut through. Seeing this, Parallaxcontrolled the yellow light on its tentacles to explode, and a shockwave swept through the surroundings.
Superman was directly thrown backward. Immediately after, many fearful images appeared in his mind, such as General Zod leading the Kryptonians to destroy Earth, or Louise being killed.
This was Superman being corroded by the power of fear.
"I will never let this happen."
Superman roared and quickly rushed towards Parallax. At this moment, Sinestro and five Yellow Lantern Warriors manifested yellow ropes and bound Superman in the air.
"Come here."
Superman strained his arms, pulling two Yellow Lantern Warriors in front of him. Then, he swung his fists, blasting both enemies away simultaneously.
The two Yellow Lantern Warriors were protected by yellow light and were not seriously injured. They jointly manifested a starship, and then a dazzling energy cannon whistled out, heavily blasting Superman.
Even Superman was sent flying backward, continuously retreating. However, he was not injured at all and immediately flew back.
Parallax thought for a moment and decided not to stay and deal with Superman. It had Sinestro and his group entangle Superman, while it led the remaining five Yellow Lantern Warriors to continue towards Earth.
Superman wanted to stop them, but at that moment, Sinestro and the six others simultaneously created a gravitational vortex, trapping him inside.
Superman roared, but even he couldn't easily break free from the gravitational vortex; it would take some time.
"Superman is trapped?"
Human leaders and the audience were simultaneously alarmed. That monster, it was obvious at a glance that it was no good. If it landed on Earth, many people would surely die.
General Lane immediately said, "Mr. President, I recommend launching a nuclear missile to eliminate Parallax outside of Earth."
"This..."
The President thought for a moment and nodded, "Okay, I agree to launch the nuclear missile. Bring me the box."
The American Military was overjoyed. After selling nuclear missiles for so many years, they were finally being sold.
General Calvin hesitated but did not object. After all, Parallax was coming aggressively, and more importantly, Parallax was currently in Space, so the nuclear missile wouldn't affect humans.
Space nuclear missiles required the help of rockets. Fortunately, humanity had already prepared for this, as they had already faced two world-ending disasters this year.
Soon, the rocket carried the nuclear warhead into the sky. Midway, the rocket and nuclear warhead separated, and the nuclear warhead activated, shooting towards Parallaxin Space with a long tail.
"The American Military has launched a nuclear missile. Let's see if it has any effect?"
Andrew turned the camera to the nuclear missile. The public stared intently at the nuclear missile. This was humanity's strongest weapon, the guarantee of human security.
Parallax discovered the incoming nuclear missile immediately. It had Hector's memories and knew exactly what a nuclear missile was. It snorted coldly, and a ball of yellow light whistled out, enveloping the nuclear missile.
Under the embrace of the yellow light, the nuclear missile's speed rapidly slowed down. General Lane's expression changed, and he hurriedly shouted, "Detonate the nuclear missile directly."
The soldier immediately replied, "Initiating detonation. Detonation system malfunction. The nuclear missile is unresponsive."
"Malfunction?"
Everyone's expressions changed. At this moment, under the control of the yellow light, the nuclear missile turned around and returned along its path, falling towards Earth, its speed increasing rapidly.
"fuck."
Everyone was simultaneously alarmed. General Lane hurriedly shouted, "Quickly calculate the nuclear missile's landing point, Mr. President, you need to go to the bunker immediately."
Chapter 555 Devour
"Alright."
The President wasted no time, immediately taking a group of people to the bunker beneath the White House. He cursed endlessly in his heart, regretting not listening to the military earlier.
Soon, a group of experts calculated the nuclear bomb's landing point: "General Ryan, according to our calculations, the nuclear bomb will land at the rocket launch base."
"The rocket launch base?"
Everyone was both happy and angry. Happy that the nuclear bomb wouldn't land in a major City, but angry that it would destroy the rocket launch base.
General Ryan shouted, "Everyone at the base, immediately enter the underground nuclear explosion shelter."
Everyone at the base quickly complied. Soon, the nuclear bomb landed at the launch base and exploded with a thunderous roar. The ground shook, and it was as if a new sun had appeared between heaven and earth.
Immediately after, a mushroom cloud rose, and a violent shockwave, mixed with dust, swept away everything around it.
Fortunately, the rocket launch base was built in an uninhabited area, so the damage was not too severe.
Looking at the nuclear bomb footage on the screen, the audience was speechless for a long time, filled with both shock and relief.
Then, the audience started cursing, both the monster Parallax and the scoundrels in the military, who were as useless as ever.
"It seems nuclear bombs can't deal with Parallax."
General Calvin shook his head. General Ryan said, "Not necessarily. As long as someone can hold off Parallax, the nuclear bomb might not be useless."
"You want the Superheroes to sacrifice themselves? No, you want to take the opportunity to eliminate the Superheroes as well?"
General Calvin snorted. General Ryan was about to retort when the President's voice came through the phone: "Stop arguing. That Parallax has already entered Earth. The military must act quickly."
General Calvin said, "Fighter jets have been launched, and troops are heading towards Iron Man, Green Lantern, and the others.
Also, I've already had the Coast City police evacuate the public, but time is too short, and it hasn't been very effective. Many people aren't cooperating."
The President nodded and said, "Alright, may God bless America, and bless Coast City."
In Coast City, the remaining three strange individuals had all been dealt with by Tony, leaving only Hector alive.
At this moment, a Flash of lightning appeared, and Flash, Cyborg, and Aquaman appeared simultaneously. Tonysaid, "Flash, evacuate the people around here. Parallax is about to arrive."
"Alright."
Flash immediately turned into a Flash of lightning and disappeared. Tony thought for a moment, then flew into the sky and shouted loudly through a loudspeaker, "I am Iron Man! Everyone, leave Coast City as fast as you can!"
Andrew also said in the live broadcast room, "Everyone in Coast City, evacuate as soon as possible. This place is about to become a battlefield."
"A battlefield?"
The citizens were greatly alarmed and no longer dared to delay, fleeing outwards as fast as they could. Unfortunately, it was already too late.
The sky suddenly darkened, and Parallax's colossal figure descended from the sky, accompanied by five Yellow Lantern Warriors glowing with yellow light.
"The monster is here."
When the public saw Parallax, they scattered in fear, many of them falling to the ground. Parallax took a deep breath, looking intoxicated. The smell of fear was truly wonderful.
The fate of this planet would be the same as those before it, turned into a desolate waste by him.
"Parallax is here."
Hector laughed loudly, "You're all going to die, all of you."
"You're the one who's going to die."
Tony snorted coldly, raising his hand, preparing to finish Hector off completely. At this moment, Parallax waved a tentacle, coiling towards Hector.
Seeing this, Diana shouted, and the Vulcan Swordslashed forcefully towards the tentacle.
Parallax controlled its telekinesis to explode around Diana, sending her flying. Then, a tentacle wrapped around Hector and flew into the sky.
Hector was both excited and thrilled. Parallax had actually saved him personally; it was wonderful.
Hector was about to express his gratitude when Parallaxopened its mouth, and all of Hector's life force and fear energy were sucked into it.
Then, Parallax flung Hector's clothes away and said disdainfully, "Useless waste."
"Hector, you guessed wrong. You're the first one to die."
Hal sighed. At this moment, Parallax turned its gaze to him and said, "Abin Sur's successor, I want you dead."
After speaking, numerous tentacles descended from the sky, coiling towards Hal. Hal's expression changed, and he quickly materialized a large pair of scissors, cutting towards the tentacles.
Tony and Cyborg were not idle either, activating their energy cannons to bombard the tentacles.
Diana and Aquaman simultaneously flew up, the Vulcan Sword and the five-pronged Trident slashing forcefully at the tentacles.
Seeing this, Parallax controlled the yellow light to explode, and the shockwave sent all the Superheroesflying.
Then, various terrifying illusions appeared in everyone's minds. Tony was the first to recover. He sneered, "What hasn't I, Iron Man, experienced? This little bit of fear isn't even enough for a snack."
I've even seen the Lord of Hell. Was I scared?
Diana and the others also recovered one after another. Only Hal was a little slower. As Superheroes, their wills were all very resilient.
"Superheroes? You're as disgusting as the Green Lantern Corps. I'll let you know what fear is."
Parallax snorted coldly, ordering the five Yellow Lantern Warriors to charge towards the Superheroes.
The Yellow Lantern Warriors wasted no words, materializing various weapons to attack the Superheroes. The Superheroes immediately counterattacked, and both sides fought fiercely in the area, with explosions occurring one after another in the surrounding buildings.
A car flew past Carol, and Carol swallowed, unsure whether to leave or stay.
"Don't panic so much. Sit down and enjoy the show, it's a very good show."
Andrew said to Carol. Carol retorted, "Is this a place to watch a show? We could be affected at any moment here."
Andrew said, "Don't worry, you might be affected, but I definitely won't be."
"I'm not reassured at all."
Carol rolled her eyes. It was too late to escape now, so she resignedly sat down opposite Andrew.
Andrew smiled and continued the live broadcast. At this moment, a squadron of fighter jets flew over, launching missiles at Parallax from a distance.
Parallax glanced at the dozen or so missiles, and they all simultaneously veered off course, crashing into nearby buildings and exploding with a roar.
Dust and black smoke rose into the sky, and countless bricks and stones fell, making the public scream in terror.
"Very good."
Parallax opened its mouth and inhaled forcefully. The fear and life force of a large number of terrified humans were simultaneously sucked into its mouth.
In a short time, hundreds of citizens were devoured, leaving no corpses, only their clothes falling to the ground.
Several pilots were also devoured, and their planes crashed uncontrollably into buildings and the ground, exploding with a roar. Air currents and flames swept the surroundings, and one building even collapsed, raising dust into the sky.
The public became even more terrified, fleeing frantically. Parallax laughed loudly, continuously devouring the fearful humans.
"I always feel that the casualties in the DC World are greater than in the Marvel Universe. Is it the cosmic tone?"
Andrew shook his head and said, "Fiora, go attack Parallax."
"Yes, Boss."
Fiora, flying in the sky, immediately descended like a whistling meteor. Then, her fist, accompanied by a sonic boom and air currents, slammed heavily into Parallax's head.
Parallax waved a tentacle to block Fiora's fist. With a heavy thud, even Parallax was knocked back more than ten meters.
"Another Kryptonian."
Parallax snorted coldly, trapping Fiora with telekinesis. Fiora's eyes glowed red, and two Heat Visions blasted fiercely towards Parallax.
Parallax blocked the Heat Vision with yellow light. Then, numerous tentacles coiled towards Fiora. Fiora opened her mouth and spewed a blast of cold air, freezing several of Parallax's tentacles solid.
This was not all. Fiora shouted, breaking free from Parallax's telekinetic control. Then, her body spun rapidly, and her feet continuously kicked the frozen tentacles.
Bang, bang, bang, the frozen tentacles were all shattered and fell down with a crackling sound.
"Well done."
The audience cheered, asking in the bullet comments who this woman was. She was too powerful.
"Her name is Fiora, another Kryptonian, and also my bodyguard."
Andrew said, "Those who said they wanted to beat me up before, consider whether you can withstand her 'little' punches first?"
"Little punches?"
The audience was speechless. Those punches could punch through a skyscraper, for goodness sake, what 'little' punches?
"No wonder this guy is so arrogant. It turns out he has such a powerful bodyguard."
The audience was envious, jealous, and hateful. At first, no one believed he was truly Wonder Woman's boyfriend, but now, everyone was starting to believe it. After all, even a Kryptonian was his bodyguard.
"Alice, you'll control the live broadcast camera from now on. Try to show the Superheroes' highlight moments and cool scenes."
Andrew instructed. Previously, the live broadcast was to make the public panic. Uh, it still was now, but on the surface, it was to gain popularity for the Superheroes.
Since the purpose had changed, the live broadcast method naturally needed some corresponding adjustments.
The higher a Super Hero's popularity, the more World's Favor they received, because the world consciousnesswas, in fact, the consciousness of all living beings.
Alice immediately agreed, "Yes, Boss."
Carol couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Wang, why are you live streaming?"
Andrew said, "To fatten up the Superheroes, and then sacrifice them."
"Wow, should I act very scared?"
Carol naturally didn't believe him. She looked at Hal, continuously praying and cheering for him in her heart.
"Kryptonian, you've angered me."
The broken tentacles enraged Parallax. A huge yellow light shot from its mouth, blasting fiercely towards Fiora. At the same time, its tentacles rapidly regenerated.
Fiora launched Heat Vision to counter the yellow light, but unfortunately, it only held for a few seconds before she was blasted away, crashing through several buildings behind her.
Parallax snorted coldly. It opened its mouth again, and five newly created Yellow Lantern Rings flew out. Three of them flew to the right side of Coast City, while the other two flew towards Gotham City.
"It's not this City?"
Parallax was a little surprised. It had designated the Yellow Lantern Rings to find users in this City, but the two Yellow Lantern Rings actually flew away on their own.
This meant that there were two people in Gotham Citywho were very suitable for the Yellow Lantern Rings.
The Green Lantern Ring's selection criterion was a strong will, while the Yellow Lantern Ring's selection criterion was the ability to instill fear in others. The more fear one could instill in others, the more one met the Yellow Lantern Ring's criteria.
Chapter 556: Fierce Fight
At this moment, Fiora flew back, attacking Parallax again.
Parallax was shocked by Fiora's defense, and even more surprised that Fiora had no consciousness; she was merely a puppet, which rendered its fear illusions completely useless.
"This body seems quite suitable for me, doesn't it?"
Parallax's eyes glinted with Greed; with such a powerful body, combined with Parallax's own abilities, how strong would it become?
Meanwhile, the three Yellow Lantern rings in Coast Cityfound suitable hosts—three heinous criminals in a prison.
A voice simultaneously echoed in the minds of the three criminals: "Intelligent life locked, Chucks of Earth, you possess the ability to inflict immense fear upon others. Welcome to the Parallax Legion."
"Fear? I love fear."
The three criminals were stunned at first, then accepted the rings without hesitation. Next, they materialized yellow sledgehammers, smashing open the prison gates, which crashed to the ground with a bang.
The prison alarm blared, and guards surrounded them with guns and shields, shouting, "Go back! Return to your cells immediately!"
"Go back? No, we'll never go back in this life."
The three new Yellow Lantern Warriors shouted, then conjured three rocket launchers and fired at the prison guards. Three rockets whistled out simultaneously.
"fuck."
The prison guards' expressions changed drastically, and they scrambled to escape, but it was too late. The three rockets slammed into the midst of the guards and exploded, sending many guards to the ground amidst rolling airwaves and flames.
"Satisfying."
The three new Yellow Lantern Warriors laughed heartily at the same time. Then, they destroyed all prison defenses and released all the inmates inside.
"Go out and create more fear! Do well, and you will become as powerful as us!"
The three new Yellow Lantern Warriors shouted, and the prisoners were overjoyed, snatching the guards' weapons and rushing out of the prison to wreak havoc on the streets.
The three new Yellow Lantern Warriors were very satisfied. Then, enveloped in yellow light, they quickly flew towards the battlefield—Parallax had tampered with the rings, allowing the hosts to quickly master the rings' abilities, albeit only low-level ones.
"General Calvin, there's a problem at the prison. The army shouldn't come here. Go stop those prisoners."
Andrew shouted, "Everyone, I have some very bad news for you: Parallax can create Yellow Lantern rings. The more lives it devours, the more rings it creates.
This is a vicious cycle. You must deal with it as quickly as possible, otherwise, you'll find the outside world full of Yellow Lantern Warriors."
"fuck."
The Superheroes cursed simultaneously, and so did the audience. This villain is truly disgusting; it just keeps getting stronger the more you fight it.
"Except for the Tanks, all other soldiers go stop those prisoners."
General Calvin hesitated, then ordered. General Ryan's eyes flashed, and he quietly contacted the President, saying, "Mr. President, perhaps we can quietly transport tactical nuclear bombs into Coast City in armored vehicles and detonate them.
Parallax doesn't know there are nuclear bombs inside the armored vehicles, so it won't attack them prematurely."
"The problem is, doing so would result in heavy casualties for the Superheroes and civilians."
The President hesitated, saying, "Let's see if the Superheroes can defeat Parallax first."
"Then let's wait and see."
General Ryan did not try to persuade him further. This tactic was cruel, but when absolutely necessary, it had to be done.
Meanwhile, two other Yellow Lantern rings arrived in Gotham City. Without a doubt, they chose Batman, Gotham's embodiment of fear, and Gotham's Joker.
Batman is the Nightmare of all villains, while the Joker is the Nightmare of all citizens; no one knows when he'll come out to play games again.
"Intelligent life locked, Batman of Earth, you possess the ability to inflict immense fear upon others. Welcome to the Parallax Legion."
"Intelligent life locked, Joker of Earth, you possess the ability to inflict immense fear upon others. Welcome to the Parallax Legion."
"…"
Batman and the Joker, who were fiercely fighting in the square, paused simultaneously. Batman immediately understood what was happening and had no intention of accepting.
Batman never needed superpowers, let alone when Parallax was an enemy.
The Joker, however, hesitated. He scratched his head and said, "This thing seems fun, but if I wear it, the game won't be interesting anymore."
The Joker didn't really want to kill Batman; that wouldn't be fun at all.
"Wait, why do you two have rings, but I don't? Are you two true love?"
Harley Quinn, leaning against a chemical truck, shouted indignantly. Two rings floated in front of Batman and the Joker. This situation looked wrong no matter how you saw it.
Batman and the Joker's faces darkened simultaneously. At this moment, sensing that Batman would not accept it, the Yellow Lantern ring in front of him quickly flew away.
Harley Quinn was overjoyed when she saw the ring flying towards her and reached out to grab it. Unexpectedly, the ring bypassed her and flew towards Arkham Asylum.
The ring was going to find Scarecrow. As for Harley Quinn, not many people were afraid of her; her identity was Harley Quinn, who existed by depending on the Joker.
Harley Quinn gritted her teeth in anger. She shouted at the Joker, "Puddin', don't you dare take that broken ring!"
The Joker ignored Harley Quinn, cackling, "Batman, that ring should be flying to Arkham Asylum. By then, all the patients will be released.
To stop them, you only have one way: wear this fear ring.
If you don't wear it, forget about stopping others; you won't even be able to stop me."
More than killing Batman, the Joker wanted Batman to fall.
"I will defeat you, as always."
Batman snorted coldly, his powerful fists raining down on the Joker. The Joker dodged nimbly, occasionally counterattacking with a short knife. His combat power was actually not weak at all; it was just that everyone was used to his high-IQ crimes.
"You're anxious, Batman, you're anxious. Your City is about to fall into chaos."
The Joker laughed heartily. Batman gritted his teeth and had Alfred control unmanned combat drones to go to the Asylum to stop those damned criminals.
As for Parallax, that could only be left to the other Superheroes. Batman was busy this time.
Regardless of Batman and the Joker's love-hate relationship for now, in Coast City, three new Yellow Lantern Warriors flew over. They held rocket launchers and fired rockets at Fiora in the air.
Fiora's Heat Vision swept across, and the three rockets exploded simultaneously. Then, the Heat Vision swept towards the three new Yellow Lantern Warriors.
The three quickly dodged. Then, they materialized various modern weapons and fired at Fiora continuously.
These new Yellow Lantern Warriors could not materialize abstract items like gravitational vortices; they could only materialize things they were more familiar with.
Fiora's eyes were icy cold as she charged forward, ready to deal with these three guys as quickly as possible.
While the three new Yellow Lantern Warriors entangled Fiora, Parallax flew into the distance. Then, it opened its large mouth, devouring a large number of terrified civilians below, leaving only their clothes on the ground.
"Excellent."
Parallax created five new rings again. The rings, carrying yellow light, flew towards the prison area, and soon, five more prisoners became Yellow Lantern Warriors.
This undoubtedly stimulated the other prisoners. They frantically destroyed their surroundings and killed people, bringing even greater fear to Coast City.
Fortunately, at this moment, the military arrived and engaged in a fierce shootout with the prisoners.
"Everyone, hit hard! We must race against Parallax! Barry, stop saving people and come fight with us!"
Tony shouted. At the same time, a giant battlesuit descended from the sky, quickly equipping Tony. It was the Anti-Kryptonian Battlesuit.
Then, Tony raised his hands, and gravity and repulsion simultaneously enveloped a Yellow Lantern Warrior. The Yellow Lantern Warrior was almost torn apart and quickly materialized a barrier around him.
Just then, a huge energy beam whistled out from Tony's chest, hitting the Yellow Lantern Warrior's body.
The Yellow Lantern Warrior was immediately blasted away, all the yellow light on him disappearing, and his body was scorched black.
"He's not dead yet? His defense is truly powerful."
Tony was a little surprised. Seeing that the opponent had fainted, he didn't pursue the kill and controlled the battlesuit to fly towards Parallax in the sky.
Alice immediately played this video. When the audience saw Iron Man defeat a Yellow Lantern Warrior, they cheered, and their favorability towards Iron Man greatly increased. He truly lived up to his name as the Bald Head terminator; he was trustworthy.
Flash heard Tony's shout and ran over from a distance. He glanced at the situation on the field, preparing to help Aquaman.
Just then, five new Yellow Lantern Warriors flew from the horizon. Seeing this, Flash quickly ran towards them to prevent them from interfering with others' battles.
Flash rushed in front of a new Yellow Lantern Warrior, his fist, propelled by momentum, slamming hard into the opponent's face. The new Yellow Lantern Warrior was immediately sent flying, crashing into a nearby building.
This was the supersonic punch Batman taught Flash. Flash no longer had to just push people around.
"It's Flash."
The other Yellow Lantern Warriors, seeing this, some set up yellow walls around them, some created a large number of bricks and threw them wildly, and some escaped into nearby skyscrapers.
"You can do it, Barry."
Flash took a deep breath, re-entered the Speed Forcestate, and fought fiercely with the four Yellow Lantern Warriors.
"Parallax."
In the sky, Tony roared at Parallax, and a dense barrage of energy beams blasted towards Parallax.
Parallax waved its yellow light tentacles, blocking all these energy beams. Then, it controlled its tentacles to coil around the Anti-Kryptonian Battlesuit.
"Human, how much fear do you have to hide under so much armor?"
"You're wrong. This is proof of courage, to be a mortal who rivals gods."
Tony controlled the battlesuit to avoid the tentacles. Then, a crimson laser shot out from his arm, blasting fiercely towards Parallax.
Parallax easily blocked the laser. It used telekinesis to wrap the Anti-Kryptonian Battlesuit, compressing it madly. The battlesuit made sounds of unbearable stress.
Tony's expression changed, and all thrusters activated simultaneously, breaking free from Parallax's telekinesis.
Parallax was about to pursue when a figure flew into the sky and severed one of its tentacles with a sword. It was the incredibly cool Wonder Woman.
"Don't forget about me too."
Wonder Woman controlled dense illusions to attack Parallax. As for the Yellow Lantern Warriors, she had already slain them.
Chapter 557: Ghost Rider Reappears
"You have the aura of an Old God on you."
Parallax looked at Diana with a hint of surprise, then it controlled a large number of tentacles to sweep towards Diana. Just then, two Heat Visions fiercely blasted its body; it was Fiora launching an attack.
As for the three new Yellow Lantern Warriors, they had all been killed by her.
Seeing this, Tony rejoined the attack, a crimson blade popping out from his arm, fiercely slashing at Parallax's tentacles.
"Humans, demigods, Kryptonians, do you think you can kill me?"
The besieged Parallax roared in anger, its yellow-glowing tentacles continuously sweeping heavily towards the three.
"Why not?"
The three sneered simultaneously, each employing their own methods to attack Parallax. Although Parallax was strong, under the combined assault of the three, its tentacles were constantly being severed.
However, Parallax possessed super regenerative abilities, and with a flicker of yellow light, its tentacles quickly recovered.
"Damn it."
Parallax, who was at a disadvantage, gnashed its teeth in frustration. It thought for a moment, then controlled a severed tentacle to fall into the sea and swiftly swim towards Gotham City.
To reverse the situation, it still depended on Gotham.
"Good, kill that monster."
The audience watched with boiling blood, cheering on the three Super Heroes.
Seeing Tony and the other two successfully suppress Parallax, the morale of the other Super Heroes was greatly boosted, and they sped up to deal with their opponents.
Superman in Space was no exception; two Yellow Lantern Warriors had already died at his hands, and even Sinestro had been injured by him.
Just then, five new Yellow Lantern Warriors appeared in Coast City. Everyone was astonished; they hadn't seen Parallax create any new Yellow Lantern Rings?
"Foolish humans, the rings are the true bodies of the Yellow Lantern Warriors. It doesn't matter how many hosts die."
Parallax laughed loudly: "As long as the rings remain, my warriors will be endless."
Everyone's hearts sank. At this moment, Cyborg, with Deadshot's cooperation, killed a Yellow Lantern Warrior. Then, he grabbed the Yellow Lantern Ring that was trying to fly away, intending to destroy it.
Unfortunately, the Yellow Lantern Ring's durability far exceeded his imagination; even he couldn't easily destroy it.
Immediately after, the Yellow Lantern Ring erupted with a powerful energy, forcefully shaking Cyborg's hand away. Then, it transformed into a yellow light and went to find a new host.
"This is easy to solve, just knock out the Yellow Lantern Warrior. If the host isn't dead, the ring won't look for a new host for a short time," Andrew said.
Everyone nodded, changing their tactics to stun the Yellow Lantern Warriors using various methods.
"The idea is a good one, but the problem is, Andrew, can you stop attracting so much hate?"
Wonder Woman complained with a bit of worry: "You're even sitting in the very center, drinking tea. Are you afraid Parallax won't notice you?"
"Don't worry, it doesn't have the guts to attack me."
Andrew took a sip of tea and said indifferently. Wonder Woman was about to say something else, but then she realized that Parallax really was ignoring Andrew—it took advantage of the appearance of the new Yellow Lantern Warriors, waving its tentacles to quickly counterattack, trying to regain the upper hand.
"Though I don't know what's going on, Andrew really seems to have the ability to make all Super Villainsignore him."
Wonder Woman relaxed slightly and focused on dealing with Parallax.
"The situation has stabilized; the advantage is on our side. As long as all those Yellow Lantern Warriors are dealt with, we can then gang up on Parallax."
Looking at the situation in Coast City, General Calvinbreathed a sigh of relief. He thought of something and asked: "How much longer until the Suicide Squadarrives?"
Although Amanda had been demoted, the Suicide Squad's plan hadn't stopped; it just had a new Person in charge.
Previously, General Calvin had immediately notified the Suicide Squad for support, but the battle had erupted too quickly. The Belle Reve Penitentiary, where the Suicide Squad was located, was in the southern America, while Coast City was in western California. It would take some time to get there.
Not everyone was Superman or Flash, able to run all over the Earth.
The secretary replied: "It will take more than ten minutes."
General Calvin said: "Tell them to hurry. Their arrival will be the beginning of victory."
At the same time, Gotham City was in complete chaos. All the guards at Arkham Asylum had been killed by Scarecrow, who wielded a Yellow Lantern Ring. Then, Scarecrow released all the major criminals.
Arkham Asylum was famous for producing talent; it housed many Super Villains imprisoned by Batman. After gaining their freedom, they immediately caused widespread havoc in the city.
This wasn't the most terrifying thing. The most terrifying thing was that Scarecrow had used the Yellow LanternRing to create fear gas.
Scarecrow, whose real name was Jonathan Crane, was both a psychologist and a chemical expert. He especially enjoyed torturing people and spreading fear, which was why the Yellow Lantern Ring chose him.
Scarecrow used the Yellow Lantern Ring to materialize fear gas. Then, this fear gas, centered at the asylum, quickly spread throughout the city, infecting large numbers of civilians.
Under the effect of the fear gas, the civilians fell into fear one after another. The people around them transformed into their deepest fears, such as Vampires, Headless Knights, and so on.
Facing their fears, some people screamed and ran non-stop, while others picked up firearms and other weapons, firing wildly at the terrifying things.
As a result, the civilian losses were heavy, and even the police force led by Commissioner Gordon succumbed. The entire Gotham City became a living hell, with blood and slaughter everywhere.
"Fear, so much fear, I love fear."
Scarecrow laughed loudly, feeling like he had reached the pinnacle of his life. Just then, a tentacle flew from the ocean and merged into his body.
Scarecrow instantly transformed into a small Parallax. He didn't care about his transformation, opening his mouth and frantically devouring the terrified civilians in the city.
At this moment, the entire city was in fear. Scarecrowwas like a wolf pack entering a sheepfold, feasting to his heart's content.
"Master, the situation is dire. Scarecrow is frantically devouring civilians; thousands have already been swallowed by him."
Alfred urgently said: "Commissioner Gordon and his men are struggling to even protect themselves and are completely unable to stop Scarecrow."
Batman asked: "Why haven't you released the antidote? Haven't I already developed the antidote for the fear gas, and even prepared the device?"
"It's been released, but it's useless. Either it's a problem with the ring, or Scarecrow has developed a new version of the fear gas."
Alfred said helplessly: "You lock them up in the asylum, and they just focus on developing new methods, then break out to cause trouble."
"Damn it, Fred, try your best to research a new antidote."
Batman's expression was extremely grim. He couldn't help but glance at the Yellow Lantern Ring next to him, his expression very hesitant.
"It seems the asylum did better than I expected."
The Joker immediately noticed Batman's gaze. He laughed loudly: "What are you waiting for? Batman, hurry and put on the ring and save your playground.
Batman, stop pretending. You are no different from me. You are just a monster wearing a mask. Accept your true self…"
The Joker was spewing a lot of saliva when suddenly, a figure slammed into him, sending him flying heavily and embedding him in the wall.
"fuck, I was having fun."
The Joker wasn't dead and could still curse. Batman hit him with an electric bullet, and he convulsed all over, then passed out.
Harley Quinn was shocked and rushed over to save The Joker: "My Puddin'."
After defeating The Joker, Batman breathed a sigh of relief and turned to look at the newcomer, discovering it was a thirteen-year-old blonde girl, who was Superman's cousin, Kara.
Batman asked in surprise: "Why are you here?"
"Martha and I came to Metropolis a few days ago to see Superman. Just now, I heard a lot of screams from Gotham City, so I came to help."
Kara said nervously: "Uh, I don't know what to do, so I came to find you and listen to your command. Although I haven't mastered all my abilities and can't even fly, I'm very strong, so I should be able to help."
"Good girl,"
Batman nodded. It seemed Kara, like Clark, was full of a sense of justice. He said: "Put on a mask and come with me to stop Scarecrow and save Gotham.
Oh, and knock out Harley Quinn first."
"Okay."
Kara nodded, suddenly appearing in front of Harley Quinn, punching her away and knocking her unconscious on the ground.
Kara said with a bit of hesitation: "Did I hit too hard?"
"It's fine, these guys can't be killed no matter how much you hit them anyway."
Batman grumbled, then took Kara in the Batwing to stop Scarecrow.
Seeing the Batwing flying over, Scarecrow laughed loudly: "Batman, this time, you lost, or rather, you humans lost."
Along with Scarecrow's voice, dozens of Yellow LanternRings flew from his body. Five of them flew into the city, landing on the fingers of those Super Villains, while the rest all flew towards Coast City.
"Damn it."
Batman's expression changed drastically. He hurriedly shouted into the communicator: "A large number of Yellow Lantern Rings are flying towards your side, be careful."
"What?"
Everyone was shocked to hear this, but they couldn't stop the arrival of the Yellow Lantern Rings.
"Batman, you should think about yourself first."
Scarecrow laughed loudly. Before Batman could say anything, five Yellow Lantern Warriors flew up, surrounding the Batwing with ferocious expressions.
"It's time for us to have some fun."
These five Yellow Lantern Warriors were stronger than the other Yellow Lantern Warriors because they were originally Super Villains, and each of them had caused Batman immense trouble.
Not everyone was qualified to be locked up in Arkham Asylum!
Scarecrow didn't stay; he left the battlefield and continued to devour Gotham citizens to create new rings.
Batman and Kara tried to stop him, but they were blocked by the five Yellow Lantern Warriors. The situation was getting worse and worse.
Coast City.
Dozens of new Yellow Lantern Warriors flew from a distance towards the battlefield. Everyone's expressions were incredibly grim, and General Calvin was no exception. He had been thinking that the Suicide Squad's arrival would secure victory, but instead, the enemy's reinforcements arrived first, and they were particularly powerful.
"Humans, your doomsday has arrived."
Parallax laughed wildly, filled with indescribable glee. With Gotham as its 'great granary,' there would be an endless supply of Yellow Lantern Rings. No matter how strong the Super Heroes were, they couldn't contend with so many Yellow Lantern Warriors.
"fuck."
Tony cursed, increasing his firepower to attack Parallax, but Parallax could regenerate and couldn't be killed. Soon, those Yellow Lantern Warriors rushed over and attacked them along with Parallax.
The excellent situation instantly reversed.
"This is bad."
The civilians' expressions were incredibly solemn, and many even felt despair—anyone could see that Parallaxwas about to win a great victory, because time was on its side, and the Yellow Lantern Warriors would only grow in number.
General Lane said to the President: "Mr. President, the Super Heroes have failed. We now have only one last option, and that is to use a nuclear bomb."
The President hesitated for a moment and asked: "Is it still in time to transport it in now?"
"The nuclear bomb is already in the city, not far from the battlefield."
General Lane said: "Mr. President, I know you will blame me, but the battlefield changes rapidly, and as a general, I must prepare for everything in advance."
"You've said it all, what more can I say?"
The President secretly rolled his eyes. He said: "Let's wait and see, but have your people ready to activate the nuclear bomb at any time.
Also, remember to learn from the last lesson and control the nuclear bomb to explode within a short time, giving Parallax no chance to stop it."
General Lane nodded: "Don't worry, we are ready. Once the nuclear bomb is launched, no matter what happens, it will explode within five seconds."
"Feigning an attack while making a real one elsewhere, I didn't expect even monsters to understand military strategy."
Andrew shook his head. He sighed: "Coast City is fine, but Gotham was breached instead. All that effort for nothing.
Of course, this is normal. Batman only captures, he doesn't kill, burying a pile of ticking time bombs in Gotham. Nothing surprising about what happens."
"Hey, stop summarizing over there. You should be saving the world."
Tony's voice came through the communicator: "If you drag this out any longer, many people will die."
"Let me think about how to save the world?"
Andrew fell into thought. Fiora couldn't be used. Although she could unleash her full power to blast Parallax, she wouldn't gain any reputation unless her consciousness was fully restored.
As for black technology, it wasn't that he didn't have any, but it was better to keep it as a trump card.
"In that case, I can only deploy Ghost Rider early. I didn't expect it to be this soon."
Andrew shook his head and touched the ring on his hand. A voice that everyone in Coast City could hear suddenly echoed: "The human world is defiled again."
Everyone was astonished. Immediately, they instinctively looked up at the sky and saw flames rising into the sky from within the city, forming a humanoid figure in the air.
Then, the flames turned from yellow to black, and a figure wearing a bone mask, entirely enveloped in black flames, appeared in everyone's sight.
After this figure appeared, it gently raised its right hand, and the flames behind it transformed into a flame cape over ten meters long, dancing freely in the air, looking extraordinarily cool and stylish.
Tony rolled his eyes. As expected of a top student from the Heaven's Scene-Stealing Academy, as soon as he appeared, he immediately became the center of attention.
"Who is this?"
The Super Heroes, the civilians, and the Super Villainswere all astonished. Such a stylish guy certainly wasn't an unknown.
At this moment, Ghost Rider raised his head and looked at the Yellow Lantern Warriors next to Parallax. As soon as the Yellow Lantern Warriors made eye contact with his eyes, a flood of their past sins immediately surfaced in their minds.
Then, the souls of these Yellow Lantern Warriors simultaneously burst into flames. They screamed and fell from the sky, dying tragically on the spot.
Both allies and enemies were dumbfounded. Killing dozens of Yellow Lantern Warriors with just a glance, that was too terrifying, wasn't it?
"This is not strange, because he is the incarnation of God, Ghost Rider."
Andrew's voice rang out, broadcast to everyone through Kuaishou: "Ghost Rider is a knight sent by God to the human world to cleanse sin.
After the Great Flood, he has been cleansing sins and judging souls on Earth.
In western America, there are often legends about him, usually appearing as a cowboy on horseback."
Chapter 558: Overwhelming
"Ghost Rider, an incarnation of God?"
Everyone was astonished. Did God really exist? And was there an incarnation of God on Earth?
Some people recalled and found that there truly was a legend of the Ghost Rider in the Western United States, but no one knew that the Ghost Rider was an incarnation of God.
"Wasn't he an angel before? Why is he an incarnation of God now? This promotion is too fast, isn't it?"
Tony complained, saying, "Also, the legend of the Ghost Rider only exists in our universe, right?"
"I said, my words can influence fate. If I say it exists, then it exists. If you don't believe me, you can check the material."
Andrew said indifferently, "Not only that, but some Americans who grew up in the West will automatically have the legend of the Ghost Rider appear in their memories."
"...As unscientific as ever."
Tony was speechless, then breathed a sigh of relief. He could watch the show now.
No matter which universe, one thing wouldn't change: as long as the Ghost Rider appeared, one could start drinking tea and watching the show, waiting to see the Ghost Rider perform.
"I don't care what you are, just die."
Seeing the Ghost Rider kill his Yellow Lantern Warrior, Parallax was furious. It opened its mouth wide, and a thick yellow light, like a rice jar, blasted fiercely towards the Ghost Rider.
At the same time, dozens of Yellow Lantern Warriors who had died earlier, their Yellow Lantern rings on their fingers all flew up, preparing to find new hosts.
"You are guilty."
The Ghost Rider emitted a low sound from its mouth, and a large amount of Hellfire condensed into a black long spear. Then, with the long spear leading, he broke through the yellow light, charging towards Parallax like a hot knife through butter.
This wasn't over yet. The Ghost Rider condensed a Hellfire long whip in his left hand and swung it hard. The long whip extended infinitely, passing through the center of the Yellow Lantern rings, hooking them all together.
The Yellow Lantern rings simultaneously erupted with energy waves, trying to destroy the long whip. Unfortunately, it was useless; instead, they were firmly hooked by the long whip.
Parallax's expression changed drastically, and it quickly closed its mouth, preparing to dodge.
Just then, the Ghost Rider suddenly accelerated, man and spear becoming one, piercing through Parallax's body like a Flash of fire, emerging from behind, and stopping hundreds of meters away, his Hellfire cloak fluttering in the wind.
Parallax let out a shrill scream, a large black hole appearing in its body. Then, black Hellfire burned at the wound and rapidly spread throughout Parallax's body.
Parallax quickly activated the yellow light, wanting to extinguish the Hellfire. However, these black Hellfirewere exceptionally powerful; even the yellow light could only suppress them, not completely extinguish them.
"Where did this monster come from?"
Parallax felt a surge of retreat in its heart. It roared, and the remaining Yellow Lantern Warriors simultaneously charged towards the Ghost Rider.
As for Parallax itself, it quickly flew towards the street below. That's right, it didn't escape to the sky but flew towards the street below.
"You all are guilty."
The Ghost Rider turned around, and his long spear quickly lengthened, instantly piercing through a Yellow Lantern Warrior's chest. Then, the long spear quickly retracted.
Black Hellfire burned on the Yellow Lantern Warrior's body, quickly reducing it to ashes. The Yellow Lanternring just wanted to escape but was caught by the whip.
Seeing this, the remaining Yellow Lantern Warriors all materialized various firearms and cannons, attacking the Ghost Rider with all their might.
The Ghost Rider quickly swung his long whip, and a Hellfire tornado appeared in the air, destroying all attacks.
Then, the Ghost Rider used both his long whip and long spear simultaneously, rapidly harvesting the lives of the Yellow Lantern Warriors and burning them into nothingness.
"He truly lives up to being an incarnation of God; he's too powerful."
Flash's eyes were full of admiration. Aquaman blinked and said, "I'm starting to believe in God again."
Everyone was speechless. You're so pragmatic.
"He's really powerful; he doesn't even need our help."
Wonder Woman exclaimed, "I knew God truly existed, but I never knew that God had left an incarnation in the human world."
Tony secretly complained, "There's a lot you don't know. You don't even know your boyfriend is God."
"This is too amazing, isn't it?"
The American Military and the public were also amazed. Superman was a god on Earth, and this one was an incarnation of God, even more powerful than a god.
Many people immediately worshipped the Ghost Rider. Strength was truth, not to mention the Ghost Rider was so cool.
Additionally, many people in this world already believed in God.
Feeling the surging World's Favor within the Ghost Rider's body, Andrew nodded in satisfaction. This clone wasn't summoned for nothing; it would soon pay for itself.
The Ghost Rider originally couldn't receive World's Favor, as he was just a clone, but the Lord of Hell had tampered with it, making the world consciousness treat him as an ordinary life form.
Soon, the Ghost Rider finished dealing with the Yellow Lantern Warriors. He carried a circle of Yellow Lanternrings and walked step by step towards Parallax below.
Parallax was currently hovering above an armored vehicle. It first opened its mouth and devoured all the soldiers inside the armored vehicle. Then, it lifted the armored vehicle, revealing a nuclear bomb and its corresponding launch device inside.
Parallax enveloped the nuclear bomb with yellow light and simultaneously roared loudly at the Ghost Rider, "Ghost Rider, stop, or don't blame me for detonating the nuclear bomb."
"A nuclear bomb?"
Everyone was in an uproar, and the Superheroes were also greatly surprised. Tony asked angrily and reproachfully, "General Calvin, why is there a nuclear bomb in Coast City?"
"I don't know. I'm not shirking responsibility; I truly don't know."
General Calvin first shook his head, then, as if realizing something, he asked loudly, "General Lane, you set this up, didn't you?"
General Lane was about to speak when the President angrily shouted, "General Lane, you actually deployed a nuclear bomb in Coast City behind my back? Have you forgotten that I am the President?"
"..."
General Lane was stunned, then he realized that the President was trying to distance himself from responsibility. If he wanted to make a comeback, he absolutely couldn't expose this matter.
General Lane sighed and said, "I did it to deal with Parallax. I didn't expect Parallax to discover the nuclear bomb in advance, nor did I expect the situation to become like this."
"Idiot, even Hector can use Mind Reading. Do you think Parallax can't?"
Andrew cursed, "You American Military are truly useless; you only mess things up."
"Damn American Military, always holding us back."
The public cursed loudly. In several disasters, the American Military's performance was worse each time. Perhaps it would be better without the American Military.
General Lane looked crestfallen. He knew that this time, he would definitely be marginalized, just like Amandabefore him. However, he still had a chance; many people in the American Military disliked Aliens, and they needed him.
Putting that aside, facing Parallax's threat, the Ghost Rider gave a contemptuous smile and continued to walk towards Parallax.
Diana quickly shouted, "Ghost Rider, stop! If the nuclear bomb explodes, everyone in Coast City will die."
The Ghost Rider glanced at Diana, then swung his Hellfire whip, as if dividing the world in two, and heavily lashed out at Parallax.
"No!"
Everyone's expressions changed drastically, but they were too late to stop the Ghost Rider.
Parallax cursed, retreating at its fastest speed while controlling the nuclear bomb to launch in the Ghost Rider's direction.
The Ghost Rider threw the long spear in his hand towards the nuclear bomb. The long spear turned into a ball of Hellfire, engulfing the nuclear bomb. Then, the nuclear bomb soared into the sky. Clearly, the Ghost Riderwanted to launch the nuclear bomb into Space.
Seeing this, Parallax immediately detonated the nuclear bomb, but it was stopped by Hellfire. Don't forget, the Ghost Rider's Hellfire can control and modify machinery.
Parallax was unwilling, remotely controlling the nuclear bomb to change direction. Under the pull of two forces, the nuclear bomb swayed and twisted, sometimes up, sometimes down, like a drunkard. Finally, it fell into the distant ocean.
At this point, the five seconds were up, and the nuclear bomb exploded with a roar. Countless seawater and fish in the ocean shot into the sky in a dazzling white light.
Immediately after, accompanied by the rising steam mushroom cloud, a terrifying shockwave mixed with countless seawater erupted.
Coast City instantly experienced strong winds and heavy rain, interspersed with some sea fish.
Fortunately, the nuclear bomb flew far enough, and its yield wasn't very high, so it didn't cause much damage to Coast City.
Uh, assuming no nuclear radiation.
"Wow, are nuclear bombs being mass-produced recently?"
Andrew secretly rolled his eyes. He asked General Calvin, "Was the nuclear bomb set to explode after a certain time? Otherwise, there's no reason for it to explode."
General Calvin turned to look at General Lane, who awkwardly said, "The nuclear bomb was set to explode five seconds after launch."
"fuck."
Countless people cursed loudly. Why are you American Military so 'excellent'?
The Ghost Rider didn't care about any of that. He swung his Hellfire long whip, lashing it forcefully at Parallax.
Parallax released a large amount of yellow light to attack the Hellfire long whip. At the same time, it soared into the sky itself, wanting to escape Earth. This broken planet was too terrifying.
Just then, the black Hellfire on Parallax's body simultaneously exploded with a roar. Parallax was blown to pieces, screaming incessantly.
Taking this opportunity, the Hellfire long whip firmly bound Parallax, and the black Hellfire spread wildly over Parallax's body.
Parallax let out a shrill scream. It roared, "You can't kill me! I am the embodiment of fear! I am immortal!"
Actually, Parallax could be killed, but Parallax, the embodiment of fear, was almost impossible to eradicate.
"You are guilty."
The Ghost Rider snorted coldly, and with a gesture, a Harley motorcycle on the ground flew into the sky.
Then, the Ghost Rider placed his hand on the motorcycle's handle. Black Hellfire rapidly spread over the entire motorcycle. The motorcycle quickly transformed, becoming even wilder and cooler.
Afterward, the Ghost Rider got on the motorcycle, twisted the throttle hard, and the motorcycle soared into the sky, dragging Parallax behind it, charging towards Space.
Everyone was very astonished: "What is the Ghost Ridergoing to do?"
"If I'm not mistaken, he's probably taking Parallax to the sun. Whether Parallax dies or not, once it enters the sun, it will never be able to get out."
Andrew said, "Actually, it's better if it doesn't die. It will suffer torment in the sun forever."
"That's right, it's better if it doesn't die."
Many people shouted. Parallax had killed at least tens of thousands of Earthlings; it absolutely shouldn't be allowed to die too easily.
Soon, the Ghost Rider rode his motorcycle out of Earth and flew straight towards the sun.
Chapter 559 The Disaster Subsided
Cyborg looked at the scene of Ghost Rider riding his motorcycle towards the sun on Kuaishou and couldn't help but complain, "This is completely unscientific."
"Are you talking about science with God's incarnation?"
Tony retorted. He walked out of the Anti-Kryptonian suit, carefully put away the remaining Yellow Lantern rings, and then shouted, "Flash, Fiora, take us to Gotham to help. I knew something would happen in that cursed place.
General Calvin, Green Lantern, I'm leaving the aftermath and rescue work in Coast City to you. Don't cause any more trouble."
General Calvin nodded and said, "Leave it to us."
"I'll keep an eye on the military to make sure they don't cause trouble."
Hal said, and General Calvin was speechless. How did this guy survive until now without being beaten to death?
"Let's go to Gotham."
The situation in Gotham was critical, and Flash didn't waste any words, pulling Aquaman and Cyborg to quickly depart.
At the same time, Fiora took Wonder Woman and Tonyinto the sky, rushing quickly to Gotham City.
In Space, Sinestro's expression changed dramatically when he saw Parallax being pulled towards the sun. He immediately tried to stop it, but just then, two Heat Visions whistled over, blocking him and the other Yellow Lantern Warriors.
Superman said coldly, "This won't do. Your opponent is me."
With no one to stop him, Ghost Rider quickly pulled Parallax in front of the sun. He didn't waste any words and charged directly in. Parallax let out a terrified scream but was completely unable to stop Ghost Rider.
Soon, both Ghost Rider and Parallax disappeared into the sun.
"Parallax is dead! Long live Ghost Rider!"
Countless people cheered. This disaster was finally coming to an end. At this moment, someone asked, "What about Ghost Rider? Will he be alright?"
"Of course he'll be fine. He's the incarnation of God and will never die."
Andrew said, "However, his living may not be a good thing.
Ghost Rider, who hates evil as much as he hates good, might launch another great purge and judge everything if the human world becomes too corrupt, just like God launched the Great Flood."
The audience fell silent. No one doubted what Andrewsaid, after all, Ghost Rider had been saying things like 'you are guilty' and 'you must face judgment' before.
However, this did not affect the public's worship of Ghost Rider; instead, it made them revere Ghost Rider even more.
Is Parallax truly dead?
The answer is, Parallax is truly dead, but Parallax, which is the embodiment of fear, is not dead—to be precise, the little blue man possessed by Parallax is dead.
Parallax is a large yellow worm. Ghost Rider sealed it, waiting for Andrew to turn it into a tool.
Then, Ghost Rider returned to Earth and transformed back into a ring, which he wore on Andrew's finger.
"I need to find a way to obtain all seven emotional embodiments. This way, protecting Earth will become much easier."
Andrew's eyes flashed, and he temporarily put this matter aside. One thing at a time, no rush.
Seeing Parallax killed, Sinestro and the others were terrified and immediately turned to flee, but how could Superman let them go? He punched a fleeing Yellow Lantern Warrior back.
"Surrender."
Superman said. Sinestro and the others hesitated. Just then, three Kryptonians flew swiftly from a distance, blocking the Space between Superman and the Yellow Lantern Warriors.
Superman asked with a mix of shock and anger, "What do you want to do?"
"Traitor, you are not qualified to ask us."
The three Kryptonians snorted coldly, then six Heat Visions fiercely blasted towards Superman. Superman was unable to dodge in time and was sent flying.
The three Kryptonians took the opportunity to escape with the Yellow Lantern Warriors. Superman chased for a while but gave up when he couldn't catch up.
"This is troublesome. We will encounter Yellow Lantern Warriors again in the future. Fortunately, they can't create new Yellow Lantern rings."
Superman shook his head and returned to Earth, heading to Gotham to save people.
Can Sinestro truly not create Yellow Lantern rings? That may not be the case; this one is destined to be the leader of the Yellow Lantern Corps.
Andrew didn't care about this matter. With Parallax in hand, the Yellow Lantern Corps couldn't escape his control. For now, let the Kryptonians help the Yellow Lantern Corps develop.
Putting these aside for now, in Gotham City, Scarecrowsensed that Parallax was in trouble, his face changed, and he stopped devouring Gotham citizens, turning to prepare to escape.
Just then, Fiora appeared before him with Wonder Woman and Tony.
"You're dead today, I said it, even God can't save you."
Tony said fiercely, then he raised his hands, preparing to unleash pulse cannons at Scarecrow.
Upon seeing this, Scarecrow transformed back into human form, raised his hands, and said, "I surrender."
"..."
Everyone was speechless. Tony angrily said, "How can you surrender?"
"Why can't I surrender? The previous me wasn't the real me. I was controlled by Parallax, and I only returned to normal after Parallax died."
Scarecrow said earnestly, "According to the law, I am innocent. If you don't believe me, I can tell you the specific legal provisions."
Everyone was speechless. As the saying goes, don't fear villains who play tricks, only fear villains who are educated. This guy is really troublesome.
Tony sneered, "Who can prove that the previous you was not you?"
"Then who can prove that the previous me was me? According to the spirit of the law, the benefit of doubt goes to the report."
Scarecrow said, "Also, bald terminator, only I can remove those fear toxins, so you should be more polite to me."
"My name is Iron Man."
Tony said angrily, but he didn't kill Scarecrow. As a Super Hero, he wouldn't kill someone who had already surrendered.
"Fiora, go take off his ring and keep an eye on him. If he makes any moves, kill him directly."
Tony said, "Scarecrow, make the antidote as soon as possible."
Scarecrow obediently handed over his Yellow Lanternring, then he said, "If you want me to make the antidote, you must agree to a few conditions, such as granting me freedom and not studying my body."
Tony was so angry he laughed, "You're still negotiating terms?"
Scarecrow, emboldened, said politely, "I am an innocent citizen, why can't I negotiate terms? More importantly, you need my antidote."
Tony sneered, "Sorry, we don't need it. You can just wait to be dissected. Andrew, help me make the antidote."
"No one but me can research an antidote in a short time."
Scarecrow said proudly. This was a new toxin he had researched after three years of study at Arkham Asylum, and it also included fear energy. No one but him could crack it in a short time.
This is why Scarecrow was so arrogant and dared to negotiate terms.
Also, what is meant here is a short period; given enough time, anything is possible.
Just then, Fiora disappeared. Soon, she reappeared, holding a can of potion and a special device.
Andrew said, "This device can turn the potion into a mist that covers the entire City. Remember to return it to me after use. If this thing falls into the hands of Super Villains, it could destroy a City in minutes."
"The Osborn Group one? Good."
Tony nodded, preparing to release the mist. Scarecrowshouted in disbelief, "This is impossible! No one can research an antidote this quickly!"
"You have no idea how amazing my boyfriend is."
Diana snorted and punched Scarecrow hard in the face. Scarecrow crashed into the nearby building with a bang and fell unconscious.
"General Calvin, I have a gift for you."
Tony sent Scarecrow's location to General Calvin. Once in the military's hands, Scarecrow wouldn't have an easy time.
No one would object to this matter, because Scarecrowhad tentacles of Parallax inside him and was considered an extremely dangerous individual.
Then, Tony said, "I'll go release the mist. Wonder Woman, Fiora, you go deal with the other Super Villains. Don't hold back."
Batman's voice rang out in the communicator, "You can't deliberately kill them. We are Superheroes; we must have a bottom line."
Wonder Woman and Fiora ignored him, quickly dealing with the other Super Villains, while Tony began to release the mist.
Andrew's potion was developed using Main Universealien technology, and its effects were extraordinary. As the mist enveloped the entire City, the terrified citizens gradually calmed down, sitting on the ground and gasping for breath.
"Finally resolved, but that device…"
Batman breathed a sigh of relief, then shook his head and joined Flash, Cyborg, Aquaman, and Kara to deal with the remaining Yellow Lantern Warriors.
Seeing the situation was not good, the Yellow Lantern Warriors wanted to escape. At this moment, Superman descended from the sky with a red cape.
"fuck."
Immediately, three Yellow Lantern Warriors chose to surrender. The remaining two resisted stubbornly, but soon, they were all defeated, and their Yellow Lanternrings were removed.
Batman collected these Yellow Lantern rings, then he led the others to clear out the thugs in the City and re-imprison them in Arkham Asylum.
Batman, Superman, Flash, and Kara had no intention of killing the Super Villains; they just tried to subdue them as much as possible.
In contrast, Tony, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, and Fiorawere extremely ruthless, and several Super Villains died at their hands. These trash deserved to die.
Of course, if they surrendered, the Superheroes would not take action.
Batman frowned greatly at this. He felt that it was necessary to discuss this issue at the next Justice Leaguemeeting.
Superheroes cannot kill. On the one hand, this is a self-restraint.
The power of Superheroes is too great. Once they lose restraint, they can easily degenerate into Super Villains. Therefore, a bottom line must be set to remind them of what they can and cannot do.
On the other hand, it is to give confidence to the outside world. The Justice League is, after all, a civilian organization. Not killing can make the outside world, as well as the military and official, trust them more.
With everyone's efforts, the chaos in Gotham City quickly ended. However, many people needed assistance. The previous disaster left many injured and many buildings collapsed into ruins.
The same was true in Coast City; the aftermath work was as troublesome as ever.
In addition, Coast City also had a nuclear radiation problem to solve, and many citizens were cursing the military.
In any case, this disaster was pretty much declared over.
Andrew said, "Everyone, this live broadcast ends here. I know many people don't want there to be a next time, but disasters are unavoidable. We'll see you next time."
