Chapter 643 Inquiry
After thinking for a moment, Andrew quickly searched the surroundings and soon found the large blue bug on the rooftop, which was commanding the bugs to besiege the Suicide Squad.
"Barbara, Rita."
Andrew projected the building's situation and ordered, "You two go over there and capture the large bug. Remember, I want it alive."
Barbara nodded, "No problem. I'll catch the large bug. The three of you, help me contain the surrounding bugs."
Rita thought for a moment and asked, "With so many bugs, how will we leave with the large blue bug after we catch it?"
Andrew said, "It's a small matter, I'll handle it. Your task is just to capture the large blue bug."
"Okay."
Rita stopped asking questions and, with two team members, cautiously approached the large blue bug with Barbara.
After everyone left, Andrew walked directly towards the Suicide Squad. The bugs glanced at him, showing no intention of attacking him, and continued to besiege the Suicide Squad.
The Suicide Squad was stunned by this scene. Who was this person? Why weren't the bugs attacking him? Was he related to them?
"Hahaha, the savior is here! I knew it, staying with the protagonist means not dying."
When Wade saw Andrew, he burst into laughter and shouted, "Handsome guy, do you remember Wade from New York Lakeside?"
Andrew's mouth twitched as he said, "Change your address, or I'll kill you."
"Heh, man, you used to call me 'little cheapy' all the time, and now you want to kill me?"
Wade looked disdainful, and Andrew rolled his eyes. We barely have any relationship, do we? At most, I introduced you to a girlfriend.
"You can chat later. Sir, why aren't the bugs attacking you?"
Robert shouted while firing his gun madly. Andrew and Wade simultaneously said, "Of course, it's because I (he) is handsome."
"..."
Everyone was dumbfounded. How could you come up with such a ridiculous excuse? Although you are indeed handsome, the bugs' aesthetics are not the same as humans', okay?
Andrew walked over to Wade, took out an instrument, and said to him, "Press it."
Wade asked suspiciously, "Is this a real instrument or an instrument disguised as a contract? If I press it, will my soul, my body, my money, my wife, all become yours?"
"...Who would want your soul and body? Aren't you afraid of being polluted? Speaking of which, this operation is quite good; I can add it to my 'Complete Guide to Deceptive Contracts'."
Andrew retorted. William, beside him, was speechless. Why would such a guide exist?
"Wow, remember to give me royalties."
Wade said while pressing the button. The instrument lit up, and a beam of light shot into the sky, transforming into a defensive shield that fell, trapping most of the bugs outside.
Seeing this, the bugs activated their energy cannons and bombarded the light shield, but the shield was far more durable than they imagined.
"Wow!"
The Suicide Squad was overjoyed. This was simply a divine artifact!
"Deal with the bugs inside the defensive shield, and then deal with the bugs outside."
Andrew instructed, then pulled Wade aside for a private conversation.
Polka-Dot Man said unhappily, "This kid is so arrogant. Why should we listen to him?"
"Because he saved our lives. If you had this Ability, you could also be a bit arrogant."
Peacemaker said, "Less talk, more action. No one knows how long the defensive shield will last."
"Okay."
The Suicide Squad stopped talking nonsense and focused on killing bugs. William also breathed a sigh of relief and joined the battle.
Andrew asked, "Wade, why are you here? Did Death send you?"
"No, it has nothing to do with my goddess."
Wade shook his head and said, "I sensed that my cousin, Deathstroke, died. I came to inherit his legacy—no, to see if I could resurrect him."
"Deathstroke?"
Andrew was astonished. He said, "Deathstroke's soul was swallowed by Trigon, making resurrection almost impossible, unless his soul hasn't been fully digested yet."
"Cousin, you died so tragically. I was still hoping you'd appear in my dreams and tell me where the money is hidden."
Wade wailed, looking heartbroken. Andrew scoffed and continued to ask, "How did you come to this universe?"
"I just came when I wanted to."
Wade, who had just been wailing, casually replied, "Open a door, walk through it, and you're at your destination."
This sounded like nonsense, but Andrew knew it was true, because Deadpool himself was a nonsensical existence.
Andrew asked again, "How long do you plan to stay in this universe?"
"Are you trying to kick me out? Ghost Rider, you've changed. You used to call me 'little cheapy', and now you're kicking me out..."
Wade looked like he had been abandoned. Andrewdirectly kicked him away. This guy, you can't give him a good face, otherwise, he'll drive you crazy.
Andrew said exasperatedly, "Answer my question."
"I'm not leaving. Deathstroke is gone, so I'll take his place and find his legacy along the way."
Wade said, "I want to inherit my cousin's dying wish and give his money to those poor women who, for their livelihood, have to take off their clothes in front of strange men.
It's too tragic. I cry every time I see it."
"Cry? Deathstroke would die with his eyes open."
Andrew retorted. He asked, "Staying in this universe all the time, don't you miss Death? Also, aren't you afraid that Death will be taken by Thanos?"
"That purple potato monster?"
Wade looked disdainful. He got up and said, "I can beat him with just my finger. As for my goddess, I've been with her for a full two years. We both need a little Space so that we can have a fiery passion."
"Got it. You're tired of her, you scumbag."
Andrew scorned. Wade said, "My goddess doesn't mind anyway. She's also quite a scumbag. We each do our own thing, and when needed, we get back together."
"You city people really know how to have fun."
Andrew retorted. He thought for a moment and said, "You can stay, but don't leak the truth about this universe, and especially don't reveal my identity. From now on, call me Boss."
Although Wade was crazy, if used well, he could be a trump card. At the very least, he could sicken enemies to Death.
"No problem."
Wade first nodded, then walked over, rubbing his fingers slyly, "Uh, confidentiality fee, name change fee, work fee, are there any?"
"What do you think?"
Andrew rolled his eyes. He thought for a moment, took out a belt, and said, "If you are willing to help me with one thing in the future, I will give you a teleportation belt.
This is a failed product I made when researching teleportation boots. It succeeds seven out of ten times. The remaining three times, you either get stuck in Spaceor turn into meat paste. I believe you'll like it."
"This kind of thing, and you say I'll like it... You really understand me too well."
Wade's eyes lit up as he said, "Deal! Anything goes. If you're interested, I don't mind sacrificing a little..."
Andrew kicked Wade away again. The reason he never sought out this guy in the Main Universe was because he was too crazy. Harley Quinn seemed like a good girl compared to him.
Then, Andrew threw the belt onto Wade and turned to walk towards William.
Wade hugged the belt and shouted, "Boss, your actions don't look like a scumbag at all."
Andrew put his hand behind his back and gave him the middle finger. He needed to stay away from this guy in the future, lest he get contaminated.
After dealing with Wade, Andrew walked up to William and said, "Your secret is out. Confess honestly."
"My secret is out?"
William was confused. What secret was out? Playing games in the office, using public funds for travel, being seduced by a friend's wife, or which one?
Then, William thought of something and said discontentedly, "Who are you? Why should I confess to you? I'm a colonel in America."
Andrew introduced himself, "Andrew Wang, Wonder Woman's boyfriend."
William's face stiffened. Let alone being just a colonel, even if he were a general, he couldn't afford to offend this big shot.
William said ingratiatingly, "Mr. Wang, I've long admired your reputation. Could you give me a hint as to which matter of mine is out?"
I'm not trying to evade responsibility; I'm just worried about wasting your time."
"It seems you've done quite a few things, kid?"
Andrew said in an old-fashioned tone, "I don't care about other things. I'm asking about matters related to time."
"Matters related to time?"
William was surprised, then tentatively asked, "Are you talking about going back in time?"
"Yes."
Andrew nodded. It was indeed this kid. William breathed a sigh of relief. He said, "I awakened a special Ability. After Death, I automatically revive at the moment I fell from the sky."
"Ability? Reloading after Death?"
Andrew was astonished. He said, "Tell me the whole process."
"It's like this..."
William didn't hide anything and explained the matter in detail. He still trusted Andrew Wang, after all, he was the Commander of the Justice League.
"Wow, you actually died so many times? Aren't you the protagonist?"
Wade walked over, exclaiming, "I thought following you meant not dying, but it turns out following you is the most dangerous."
William looked at Wade and retorted, "Although I can revive, I don't want to die. It hurts a lot, until I met you."
Wade blinked and asked, "Are you insulting me?"
"Be confident, remove 'are'."
Andrew said. Then, he took out an instrument to examine William's body. A moment later, he said, "You haven't awakened an Ability, but there are alien components in your blood.
The large blue bug you killed during your first Death had a problem. Your reload Ability comes from it. Every time you die, time automatically flows backward."
Andrew's previous judgment was not wrong; there was just a small interlude.
"There are alien components in my blood?"
William immediately became nervous, "Mr. Wang, will I die then?"
Andrew shook his head and said, "No, at most, you'll be locked up for dissection and research. That's the kind where they draw a little blood, cut off a little flesh, and inject various potions into you every day."
William retorted, "I'd rather die."
"Just kidding, don't be so serious."
Andrew smiled. He was about to continue speaking when he suddenly looked up at Space. Something had happened there—Superman was controlled by the Zerg.
Chapter 644 Locking Position
That's right, Superman was controlled. The specific process was simple: a Doomsday Monster quietly approached Superman, then he released a mental crystal, causing Superman to fall into a daze and be parasitized by a bug.
Besides targeting Superman, Lex Luthor also targeted Mary and Diana. However, neither of them fell for it; only Superman was controlled.
The controlled Superman immediately fired Heat Visionto destroy Tony's Kryptonite long sword. With that, the situation reversed.
Lex Luthor laughed triumphantly, "I told you, this time, I won't lose again."
"This is really bad."
Andrew withdrew his gaze and turned to William Cage, saying, "Something went wrong on the Space battlefield. When things develop to a certain point, you might have to die once to reset everything."
A reload is definitely needed, but there's no rush. Let Lex Luthor be happy for a while longer; after all, he won't be happy for long.
"Can I say no? Alright, I know I can't. Just asking."
William Cage hesitated, then said, "Mr. Wang, you are a great figure, a Savior. I am willing to obey your command, as long as you can guarantee I won't die.
I know you might look down on me, but I don't want to die, not at all."
This is the effect of prestige. If Andrew were an unknown person, William Cage would certainly not be so cooperative.
Wonder Woman's boyfriend, the Justice LeagueCommander, William Cage was willing to put his life in the hands of such a great Super Hero because he believed that the other party would protect him with all his might.
Wade said, "Why are you so afraid of Death? After Death, there's a super beautiful woman waiting for you."
"That beautiful woman is his girlfriend. If you can cuckold him, I'd be very happy."
Andrew smiled and said, "William Cage, I promise you, you won't die. Also, I will help you solve the trouble in your body, provided you obey my command."
"No problem."
William Cage breathed a sigh of relief and nodded repeatedly. This day's Nightmare was finally going to pass; it was truly wonderful.
"Alright, let's deal with the surrounding bugs first, then talk about other things."
Andrew took out a few battery bombs and said to Wade, "Wade, give these bombs to the bugs outside as gifts."
These bombs were modified by Andrew using the batteries from the Exoskeleton Armor, and their power was decent.
"No problem."
Wade excitedly took the bombs and instantly appeared outside. Then, he shouted and scattered the bombs at the bugs.
"Goodbye, stupid bugs."
Wade laughed arrogantly and used instant transmission again. Unexpectedly, the instant transmission belt didn't react at all. Wade was dumbfounded and said to the void, "I'm done for."
The next second, the bombs exploded simultaneously, tearing apart a large number of bugs with violent energy. The remaining bugs were also blown away, falling to the ground with a crackle.
The Suicide Squad rejoiced, rushed out of the protective shield with their guns, and quickly cleared out those damned bugs.
As for Wade, he was scattered all over the street, a truly magnificent sight.
Andrew said innocently, "I think I just forgot to tell him that the instant transmission belt has a cooldown."
"...You're a demon, aren't you?"
William Cage complained. He deeply doubted whether his choice just now was correct.
"Don't worry, Wade won't die."
Andrew said with a smile. At the same time, Wade's flesh and blood rapidly returned. His immortality was much stronger than before.
Before, it would take some time to heal, but now, with his flesh and blood returning, he could recover to normal in a minute.
This was both a gift from Death and a curse from Thanos. Thanos wanted Wade to never see Death in his life, but of course, it was useless because Death could actively summon Wade.
The resurrected Wade looked at Andrew with resentment. Andrew smiled and flicked a gold coin to him. Wade instantly returned to normal and even bit the coin with his teeth to see if it was real.
The bugs were massacred, but the large blue bug had no time to deal with them because it was being beaten back by Barbara, even having several tentacles broken off.
The other bugs tried to rescue it but were firmly blocked by Rita and her two companions. The power Armor was much stronger than the Exoskeleton Armor.
Seeing the unfavorable situation, the large blue bug tried to escape. Barbara's body split into more than ten figures, simultaneously attacking the large blue bug.
The large blue bug's expression changed drastically, and its tentacles wildly flailed in front of it. A moment later, Barbara returned to her original spot. The large blue bug stared blankly at Barbara, all its tentacles broken off and falling onto the rooftop with a clatter.
Then, the large blue bug's head fell off like a ball, completely unable to move.
"That's all there is to it."
Barbara sneered, stepped forward, and kicked the large blue bug unconscious. Then, she carried the large blue bug and jumped towards Andrew.
As for Rita and her two companions, Barbara completely ignored them. They weren't close, and more importantly, Barbara had made a wish and had no humanity left in her.
Barbara had also made a wish to Andrew, but Andrewdidn't take anything from her. The reason was simple: Andrew wanted to wait until he needed it.
This was also why Andrew was willing to let Barbaraleave—he could take away Barbara's life, memories, and so on, at any time.
"I knew this woman was unreliable."
Rita cursed, then led her two companions, fighting and retreating. Fortunately, many bugs had gone to chase Barbara, so there wasn't much danger.
"This is the bug you wanted."
Barbara jumped back to Andrew's side and threw the head at Andrew's feet. Andrew nodded with satisfaction and began to adjust the size of the instrument.
Then, Barbara changed back into human form, her clothes adjusting automatically. Wade blinked and shouted to Andrew, "BOSS, I want clothes like hers too! Villains all have them, how can I, a good guy, not have them?"
Andrew casually said, "Sixty million dollars. Money arrives, clothes arrive. Space teleportation delivery, pretty high-end, right?"
"Sixty million dollars?"
Wade immediately backed down. Sixty million dollars could save so many beautiful women with tragic fates; how could it be wasted on a piece of clothing?
Cleo looked at Barbara and asked Nannawue, "Can you be like her and turn into a human?"
Nannawue blinked its small eyes and said, "I'm a shark, not a human. Uh, if I eat more humans, maybe I can change."
Cleo was disappointed, thinking a fairy tale story might happen.
"Don't waste time. Deal with the remaining bugs as quickly as possible. More bugs might appear later."
Robert shouted, and everyone responded, quickly dealing with the bugs.
On the other side, Andrew placed the memory display on the large blue bug's head, and soon, a large amount of memory footage appeared before him.
"The next level is actually the Bug Leader?"
Andrew was a little surprised. The Mimic Bug's social structure was very simple: Bug Leader, large blue bug, and ordinary bugs, that's all.
The large blue bug was not only a middle-level Commander but also the Bug Leader's activator for reversing time.
The Mimic Leader didn't have the ability to foresee the future; it could only make time flow backward. The outside world didn't know that time had flowed backward and thought it could foresee the future.
In every war, the Mimic Bugs could make the best arrangements and know all of the opponent's preparations and trump cards. What is this if not foresight?
The Mimic Bugs weren't too strong, but this ability was absolutely heaven-defying. They could dominate the universe relying on this ability.
However, this ability was not without weaknesses. The large blue bug was the weakness of this ability. Once it died and its blood merged with other creatures, the activation function would be taken away.
At that time, unless the blood of that creature was stripped away, the Bug Leader would no longer be able to use time reversal and could only control the surrounding time.
In fact, the Bugs' encirclement of the Super Heroes and the Exoskeleton Squad was truly aimed at finding William Cage and reclaiming the time reversal ability.
"The Bug Leader shouldn't have released the blue bug, but without the large blue bug, it can't command so many ordinary bugs. It's a structural problem."
Andrew shook his head. The Mimic Bugs' system was relatively rigid, not as diverse as the Arachnid Bugs.
"Don't think about that for now. The key now is, how to deal with the Bug Leader?"
Andrew had a bit of a headache. He had already found the Bug Leader's location. The problem was that the Bug Leader could affect the surrounding time, and no one else could kill it, only William Cage.
But William Cage was a weakling, a weakling afraid of Death. Expecting him to kill the Bug Leader was clearly not that easy.
While Andrew was deep in thought, the Suicide Squadcleared all the surrounding bugs. Then, they stood guard beside Andrew, awaiting his command.
Robert and the others already knew Andrew's identity and were very willing to accept his leadership. On one hand, Andrew had enough prestige; on the other hand, they wanted to become the next Deadshot.
A guy named Deadshot, because he was favored by Andrew, not only got out of prison early but also got a decent job. Now he looks like a decent person, which is really too... enviable.
Everyone wanted to become the next Deadshot. Although it was unlikely, people still needed to have dreams. What if they came true?
"I've found the Bug Leader's location."
After a while, Andrew looked up and said to everyone, "Next, I will lead you to deal with it. However, there are a lot of bugs around it, so it's very dangerous. If you don't want to go..."
Wade asked, "Can we not go?"
"If you don't want to go, I will forcibly take over the bombs in your necks and force you to go."
Andrew said with a smile. The Suicide Squad booed, but there was no resistance, as they were prisoners to begin with.
Andrew continued, "After it's done, I will have the Sky Eye Society grant you one request, such as watching TV, an extra chicken leg every day, or even helping you reunite with your family for a few days."
"That's not bad."
Everyone said happily. Nannawue pointed at William Cage and asked, "Can I apply to eat his flesh?"
William Cage's face stiffened. What grudge do I have with you that you always want to eat my flesh?
Andrew pointed at Wade and said, "No, but you can apply to eat his flesh."
"BOSS, you'll lose me this way."
Wade complained. Actually, he didn't mind others eating his flesh, as he was full of cancer cells. He said with a twisted expression, "Shark, if you want to eat, I'll go wash up."
Nannawue blinked its eyes, its expression very hesitant. For some reason, it didn't want to eat Wade's flesh at all. It always felt like something big would happen if it did.
Andrew smiled. Once you taste Deadpool's flesh, you probably won't want to eat human flesh again in this lifetime.
"Rita, you three can freely decide whether to go or not."
Andrew said to Rita and her two companions. Rita and her two companions looked at each other and said simultaneously, "We want to go. We came to Houston to do this."
Andrew nodded with satisfaction. Finally, he looked at William Cage. William Cage chuckled awkwardly and asked, "Can I not go? Uh, I'm not afraid of Death; I'm mainly afraid of implicating you all."
"Everyone else can not go, but you cannot. You know why."
Andrew shook his head and said, "Come here, let's talk privately."
"I know why? Time loop?"
William Cage was stunned, then reacted and followed Andrew to the side.
Then, Andrew explained the situation of the Bug Leader: "No one else can get close to the Bug Leader, only you can.
You will face the Bug Leader and three blue bugs. The Bug Leader has no other abilities besides its time power, so you don't have to worry about that, but the blue bugs are not simple, especially since you cannot use equipment."
Equipment would be transferred away by the time power; only William Cage himself would be unaffected by the time power.
"Three blue bugs, and I can't use equipment. How is this different from seeking Death?"
William Cage was dumbfounded. Let alone three, he didn't even want to fight one. He was a handsome desk worker, alright?
Andrew said, "There's a difference. When you sought Death before, you wouldn't really die, but this time, not only will you really die, you'll die miserably."
"...Are you sure you're trying to motivate me?"
William Cage complained. Even if he wanted to go before, he wouldn't dare to now.
"This is the Wang Family Motivation Method."
Andrew smiled and said, "You have alien blood in your body, so I can't inject you with viruses, bloodlines, Human Enhancement Serum, or anything like that. Otherwise, it would be simple."
William Cage complained again, "Where is it simple? Also, don't just randomly inject people with viruses, alright?"
"Now, there's only one way left."
Andrew raised his left hand, wearing the wishing ring, and said, "Make a wish to turn your remaining life into combat power. This way, for the next hour, you will become super powerful, the kind that can lift a car with your bare hands.
However, as soon as the hour is up, you will die immediately."
"Why would I make such a wish?"
William Cage swallowed and asked, "Also, during the Gotham disaster last time, didn't you say that making a wish comes with a price?"
"It's fine if I don't collect it."
Andrew said, "William Cage, according to my calculations, after the Bug Leader dies, there will be one last time reversal. At that time, you will return to the time loop point and lose the ability to reload.
And the Bug Leader will be completely dead, which means you won't really die."
"Is that so?"
If he didn't have to die, William Cage could barely accept it. He hesitated and asked, "Mr. Wang, it's not that I don't believe you, but what if your calculations are wrong?"
第645章 玉石俱焚
"Then you can only die, ha, don't worry, just kidding, if I miscalculate, then you're in luck."
Andrew laughed, "I will collect your soul and let you be reincarnated with your memories.
As long as you want, you can be born into any family, for example, a presidential family.
Or you could be Tony Stark's son, inheriting his Iron Man Suit and family fortune.
That guy, you can tell at a glance he's not long for this world."
"Reincarnated with memories?"
William's eyes lit up, this was possible, then he asked, "Wait, isn't Tony Stark gay, where would he get a kid?"
"Of course, we'd create one with technology."
Andrew said, "Enough of this, William, make your wish, we still have a lot to do."
William no longer hesitated.
He took a deep breath and made a wish to the Wishing Ring: "I exchange my future life for immense power."
The Wishing Ring glowed, and then William felt his body fill with power, as if he could punch through a building.
Of course, this was just an illusion caused by the immense increase in power.
William's current strength was, at most, equivalent to two Captain Americas.
The strengthening of his body greatly boosted William's confidence.
He said, "Three blue bugs? No problem, leave it to me."
"Uh, sorry, I didn't factor in travel time just now."
Andrew said a little awkwardly, "One hour is too short, not even enough to reach the location of the bug leader."
"Ah?"
William was dumbfounded.
Andrew laughed, "Just kidding, don't be so serious.
Besides, even if it were true, what then?
You can reload, you are the man destined to become the King of Reloading."
William was speechless.
This guy's personality was truly exceptionally bad.
Then Andrew took out a small spherical object and said to William, "Swallow this."
William didn't think much of it and swallowed the small sphere.
He asked, "What is this? It has no taste at all."
"Liquid bomb."
Andrew said, "Atlantis technology, one is better than ten.
As for the taste, I'll improve it next time."
"…"
William was stunned, then he laughed, "Mr. Wang, you're joking again."
"Not this time."
"This time it's possible."
…
Houston has a historic and vast Cathedral.
At this moment, everyone near the Cathedral was dead, its doors tightly shut, an unspeakable tragedy.
No one knew that the bug leader was hidden inside this Cathedral, and its underground was densely packed with bugs.
"This bug leader sure knows how to pick a spot, hiding in my territory?"
Andrew was speechless, then turned to Cleo and asked, "Is the rat army ready?"
Cleo nodded, "Ready.
Just thinking about destroying the Cathedral makes me so excited."
"No wonder you went to prison."
Andrew rolled his eyes and said, "Let's move."
"Okay."
Cleo wasted no words, raising the instrument in her hand.
The next second, countless rats crawled out of the sewers, surging towards the Cathedral like a black tide.
Robert couldn't help but swallow.
Few people knew he was afraid of rats.
So many rats moving together would scare even a normal person, let alone him.
"I wish I had that move, then I'd never have to worry about not having rats to eat."
Wade said enviously.
Everyone subtly moved away from him.
This guy, he even eats rats, and rats are so… dirty.
Upon seeing the rat army, the bugs immediately crawled out of the ground.
Then, yellow light glowed on their bodies, and dense energy cannons continuously blasted towards the rat army.
Boom, boom, boom, the rat army suffered heavy losses, with countless flesh and blood flying in the air.
Of course, no one cared.
"Nannawue, Wade, charge!
After an energy cannon is used once, it takes about a minute before it can be used a second time."
Robert shouted.
Nannawue roared and charged at the very front, like a shark leading the way.
The others followed closely behind.
William was protected in the middle by everyone.
He was a key figure.
As for Andrew, he stood up and slowly followed behind.
Anyway, no bugs would attack him, and watching the show up close was a good experience.
Soon, accompanied by dense gunfire and explosions, the Suicide Squad and the bugs engaged in close combat, a fierce battle.
The battle entered a white-hot stage from the very beginning.
Nannawue pushed forward, enduring several bugs, while roaring, "Kill, for food!"
Peacemaker's eyes were also bloodshot, "Kill, for justice, for the benefit of all humanity!"
"Kill, for rewards, for reduced sentences." This was the thought of the other Suicide Squad members.
Although William was a timid guy, under the encouragement of the Suicide Squad, his blood gradually boiled.
I will defeat the bug leader, save the world, and reach the pinnacle of life.
"Kill, for higher box office."
Just then, an incongruous voice suddenly came, and William was speechless, feeling his boiling blood cool down again.
Andrew muttered to himself, "Aren't you a bit too fast?"
The bugs were numerous and strong, but the Suicide Squad was not weak either.
With the help of the rat army, they broke through the bug blockade, rushed into the Cathedral, and then fought their way from the Cathedral all the way to its center, the ground covered with bug corpses.
The center of the Cathedral was filled with blue light, and three large blue bugs continuously let out low growls inside.
Behind the large blue bugs was a huge, vertical 'egg' emitting a faint glow, looking somewhat peculiar.
"Bug leader, finally found you."
Barbara was the first to rush into the blue area.
Who knew, as soon as she entered, she immediately reappeared outside.
Barbara didn't know what had just happened and was about to continue rushing in when a large number of bugs surrounded her.
She could only deal with these bugs first.
Everyone was astonished at this sight.
Peacemaker asked, "Mr. Wang, what's going on?"
"Normal situation, you block the bugs outside, don't let them in."
Andrew waved his hand and shouted, "William, it's up to you."
"Leave it to me."
William took a deep breath and controlled his exoskeleton mech to charge into the area ahead.
The next second, his exoskeleton mech and clothes were all sent outside, leaving only William himself inside.
"Wow."
Cleo's eyes widened.
William was a handsome guy, very pleasing to the eye.
But then again, why were the Polka-Dot Man's eyes also so wide?
"Mr. Wang, you didn't say it would be like this?"
William felt very awkward.
Andrew shrugged, acting as if he hadn't heard.
"Anyway, time will flow backward, so I'll go all out."
William gritted his teeth and charged towards the bug leader.
The three large blue bugs immediately curled into three balls and slammed into William at an astonishing speed.
At the same time, the bugs outside attacked frantically, trying to completely eliminate these invaders.
"Bugs, taste Deadpool's great blade!"
Wade yelled, completely disregarding these bugs.
Anyway, he wouldn't die.
If he really died, it would be a good vacation with Death.
Uh, speaking of which, if he died in this universe, could he go to Death?
The others gritted their teeth and fought the bugs desperately.
Although they didn't know the situation, wasn't it just a battle?
When had these hardened criminals ever feared a fight?
Inside the area, William and the three large blue bugs were locked in fierce combat.
Overall, it was a fair fight.
William could dodge the attacks of the large blue bugs and even send them flying, not wasting his previous wish.
The problem was that William had no weapons, and his killing power was severely insufficient, just like in old movies, they kept fighting for a long time.
At this moment, a scream came from outside.
It was Cleo, killed by a bug.
There was nothing she could do; she only had the ability to control rats and was very fragile herself.
"Friend!"
Cleo's Death drove Nannawue mad, even making him bite those disgusting bugs.
Robert, Peacemaker, and the others also became red-eyed, firing their guns frantically.
After Cleo's Death, the rat army began to disperse, and the situation gradually worsened.
William gritted his teeth and threw himself at the bug leader, disregarding everything.
They were running out of time.
Seeing this, the bug leader's eggshell opened like a lotus flower.
There were no bugs inside, only a ball of light.
The eggshell was the bug leader's true form.
Its appearance was not like a bug, but rather like a precise machine.
As the bug leader opened its body, the surrounding time power increased significantly.
Although it had no effect on William, the speed of the three large bugs suddenly soared, and William was sent flying through the air from their impacts.
"fuck."
William cursed loudly.
The intense pain ignited his fighting spirit.
He found an opportunity, endured the impacts of the three large bugs, and with a bang, fell in front of the bug leader.
The three large bugs were overjoyed, controlling several tentacles to wrap around William, wanting to reclaim the alien blood on his body.
William was severely injured and unable to counterattack, but his face was full of smiles.
He asked, "Have you heard of one being better than ten?"
As William spoke, the liquid bomb in his stomach exploded with a rumble.
The violent energy swept through everything around it, and the bug leader was instantly engulfed by the explosion.
This time, Andrew was truly not joking.
What he had William swallow was indeed a liquid bomb, and an enhanced version at that.
The things on William's body couldn't be kept, but the things in his stomach could still exist.
However, they couldn't be taken out; once taken out, they would immediately be sent away by the power of time.
Therefore, this move was a suicide attack from the very beginning.
The bug leader's ability was very powerful, but its body was very fragile and was instantly blown to Death.
Then, time began to flow backward, and the Suicide Squad, Barbara, and William's remains all disappeared.
Soon, time returned to its original state, and all the ordinary bugs returned to the ground.
As for the bug leader and the three large blue bugs, they were completely dead.
The blue area disappeared, leaving only a shimmering blue crystal in its place.
The next second, the bugs crawled out of the ground, panicked, running around aimlessly, not knowing what to do.
This is how bugs are; as long as their leader is dealt with, the rest is easy.
"An unexpected gain?"
Andrew was a little surprised when he saw the blue crystal.
He stepped forward and held it, discovering that it was a Time Crystal, containing the power of time.
Chapter 646 Everything is under control
"Alright, a new trump card in hand."
Andrew nodded in satisfaction. With his research capabilities, creating a time device would be simple. By then, he could reverse time, just like the Bug Race Leader.
Of course, he couldn't reverse it indefinitely. The power of time was limited, and the longer the reversal, the more energy it would consume.
"Let's talk about these things later. First, deal with the bugs in the city, then go to Space to deal with the Bug Race. This time, Lex Luthor won't have a chance to laugh."
Andrew thought for a moment, put away the Time Crystal, and asked, "Alice, has communication been restored?"
"BOSS, why do you ask? Communication has always been fine."
Alice expressed her confusion, "Oh, by the way, BOSS, the bugs in the city are suddenly running around like headless flies for some reason."
"There was a problem, you just didn't know."
Andrew shook his head and said, "Have Hancock come find me. Also, lock onto William Cage's communication channel. I need to talk to him."
Alice didn't ask further and immediately replied, "Yes, BOSS."
Then, Andrew walked out of the church and quickly fashioned a flute using nanites—a flute that could emit the blue giant bug's fluctuations.
A few seconds later, with a bang, Hancock descended from the sky. He asked in surprise, "Mr. Wang, when did you come back?"
"Later."
Andrew said, "Take this flute, fly in the sky, and lure all the bugs out of the city."
Hancock was stunned, "Magic Flute? Mr. Wang, setting aside whether this thing is useful or not, the problem is, I don't know how to play the flute?"
"Don't worry, it's a new-era flute. It moves on its own, no, it plays on its own."
Andrew said, "Go quickly. If there are any problems, we can talk slowly after everything is over. One second earlier means one more person saved."
"Okay."
Hancock stopped talking nonsense, took the flute, and flew into the sky. Then, the flute vibrated slightly, emitting waves of Bug Race fluctuations.
The bugs sensed the fluctuations and immediately rushed out of the church, looking up at Hancock in the sky with excitement.
At the same time, the surrounding bugs also rapidly gathered towards them.
"Wow, it really is a magic flute. Mr. Wang is amazing, isn't he? He can even create things from fairy tales?"
Hancock clicked his tongue in wonder, flying quickly within the city. Countless bugs chased after him, and their numbers grew larger and larger.
"Tony, be careful of the three Kryptonian monsters; they have acid hidden in their bodies."
After Hancock left, Andrew looked up at Space and told Tony the precautions for the second time.
"Acid?"
Tony hastily retracted his blade and switched to laser attacks. After dealing with the three monsters, he asked, "Where did you go? Do you know that everyone was going crazy with worry?"
Andrew had always been the core of the Justice League, a source of confidence, and the key to victory. His sudden disappearance shocked and unsettled everyone.
"A lot has happened. I'll tell you slowly after it's over."
Andrew shook his head and said, "Remember, some of those monsters will self-destruct, and some have bodies full of poisonous needles…"
After listening to Andrew, Tony was astonished, "Lex Luthor is too insidious, isn't he? By the way, Andrew, why do you know so much?"
"Because I traveled through time and across the sea. We'll talk later."
Andrew ended the communication and called William Cage, asking, "Didn't you fall to your death?"
William's voice came through the communicator, "No, it just hurt a lot. My whole body was torn apart. By the way, Mr. Wang, did we succeed?"
Andrew sighed, "We failed."
"…"
William was bewildered. Andrew laughed, "Of course we succeeded, otherwise how could the phone call go through?
You find a place to hide first. The bugs will be lured away very soon. By then, Houston will be safe again."
"That's great."
William beamed with joy. He thought for a moment and said, "Now is not the time to hide. I want to make myself a hero."
Clearly, William wanted to share the credit. As a public relations person, he was very proficient in this area.
"You don't need to be made into one; you are already a hero."
Andrew laughed, "I will recommend you to General Calvin. However, don't talk about the time reversal."
William said, "Don't worry, I don't want to be dissected and studied. Mr. Wang, thank you."
"No need to be so polite."
Andrew said with a smile. Then, he dialed General Calvinand said, "I am currently in Houston. The Bug Race Leader has been dealt with by me and my people. As for the remaining bugs, I will have Hancock lure them out of the city.
You prepare bombers to bomb those bugs. Don't leave a single one."
"You're in Houston, and you've dealt with the Bug Race Leader?"
General Calvin was both incredulous and excited. He said, "No problem, I'll send out bombers immediately. Mr. Wang, thank you so much."
"It's nothing. The rest is up to you. I'm going back to Space first. Oh, and please commend the Suicide Squadand give them some benefits. They helped me a lot."
Andrew said, then hung up the phone and called Zatannaand Raven over, taking them with him to Space.
Andrew didn't commend William Cage, as that would only bring trouble to him. Later, he would quietly recommend him to General Calvin, who was a hidden member of the Justice League.
As for the Suicide Squad, there was no problem. On one hand, they knew nothing; on the other hand, they weren't afraid of trouble.
"Bombers, depart immediately!"
General Calvin excitedly gave the order. At this moment, another general questioned, "Wait, this is unreasonable. Mr. Wang was in Space before, and he's been back in Houston for less than three minutes. How could he have eliminated the Bug Race Leader?
And we all know that Mr. Wang never takes action personally."
"You ask me, who do I ask? I only know that what Mr. Wang says must be true."
General Calvin said. The staff officer beside him also said, "What Mr. Wang said is indeed true. According to satellite images, a large number of bugs are following Hancock out of the city.
Although we don't know how Mr. Wang did it, there's no doubt that he really did it. He saved Houston, and he saved the world."
"Mr. Wang is truly amazing."
Everyone sighed. Without Mr. Wang, the world would have been destroyed countless times.
The Sky Eye Society high-level officials' eyes flickered. Perhaps the Suicide Squad knew something. Unfortunately, Amanda was completely unaware of this matter.
Not only was Amanda unaware, the Suicide Squadthemselves were also confused, "When did we help Mr. Wang? We don't even know what he looks like, alright?"
"Mr. Wang must have known I was coming and specifically gave me benefits. You all should thank me."
Wade laughed, "It seems Mr. Wang still remembers me by the New York lakeside."
Robert and the others looked at Wade with disdain, ignoring him. Someone like you isn't worthy of knowing Mr. Wang?
Wade rolled his eyes. He touched his waist, looking astonished. Where's my belt? I remember I should have a belt?
Space.
Andrew, Zatanna, and Raven appeared out of thin air inside the spaceship. Batman looked at Andrew and asked, "When did you leave? Why didn't I notice at all?"
"Because you're old, Batman. Have you ever thought about retiring?"
Andrew smiled and said into the communicator, "Atom, come back. Don't go there. You can't hide from the Bug Race.
They have set up an invisible electric net and life detection devices outside the spaceship. If you go, you'll just become a fly on a fly swatter."
This was something that had happened in the previous loop. The alien Bug Race's technology was not weak at all; they just hadn't anticipated the existence of Pym Particles before.
"A fly on a fly swatter? That sounds really scary. I'll go back immediately."
Atom didn't act rashly and immediately flew back.
Then, Andrew said, "I've already resolved the situation in Houston. You don't need to be anxious anymore; focus on dealing with the monsters."
"You resolved it?"
Everyone was stunned. You disappeared for a few minutes and resolved the matter? You're too strong, aren't you?
Tony said, "Andrew, you truly live up to being the fastest man."
"You can keep that title for yourself."
Andrew looked disgusted. Flash blinked, confused. Why would Mr. Wang be displeased if he was called fast?
Soon, Atom returned to the spaceship. Andrew said, "No matter how advanced the Bug Race's technology is, they don't understand magic.
Raven, Zatanna, you two cast magic and infiltrate the alien spaceship with Atom to hide the nuclear bombs inside.
Three alien spaceships, one for each of you."
Raven thought for a moment and said, "I specialize in dark magic and shadow magic, which can make us completely invisible, without even life fluctuations. However, I can't enter the spaceship silently."
Zatanna said, "I can't either. I can only speed up everyone's flight."
"Outside is fine too. At most, we'll install a few more nuclear bombs. As for nuclear radiation, nanites can help hide it."
Andrew said, "Alright, without further ado, you all start acting immediately. Atom, shrink Raven and Zatanna. Raven, Zatanna, you cast your spells."
While speaking, Andrew placed two nano-helmets on Zatanna and Raven's heads.
The nano-helmets had two functions: one, to allow them to survive in Space, and the other, to make them immune to the side effects of Pym Particles.
"No problem."
Atom nodded and used his shrinking ray gun to shrink the two women. The two women had tried shrinking before in Justice Hall and felt no discomfort.
Then, Raven and Zatanna cast their spells one after another. Raven cast dark magic, making the three of them completely merge into the darkness, ignoring the electric net and life detection devices.
Zatanna cast acceleration magic, locking onto a target and rushing towards it at an increasingly fast speed.
Ready, the three wasted no time and immediately set off, striving to eliminate the Bug Race as quickly as possible and end all this cursed nonsense.
After the three left, Andrew said into the communicator, "Superman, the Bug Race has a mental crystal that can make people mentally sluggish. In addition, they also have a type of bug that can control others.
In a while, Lex Luthor will use the mental crystal and the bugs to ambush you, Mary, and Diana. You must be careful not to fall for it."
Chapter 647 The Dust Settles
"Mr. Wang, your reminder was very timely, but I have a question. Why only remind me? Why not Mary and Diana?" Superman asked, puzzled, sensing a deep malice.
"Yeah, why not us? Andrew, did you switch sides mid-way?" Mary also asked, "If that's true, on behalf of Diana, I wish you both well. I'm truly heartbroken."
"You look so good when you're heartbroken, all smiles. And also, don't speak for me without permission." Dianarolled her eyes. Andrew sighed and said, "Superman, the truth is often more painful."
"I think I know what the truth is." Superman grumbled.
He asked, "Mr. Wang, which specific monster is preparing to use the psychic crystal on me? I'll deal with it beforehand."
"It's the Doomsday to your left with spots on its forehead. You're a mature Superman now, deal with it yourself." Andrew said, "Diana, Mary, you two be careful too, don't get caught off guard."
"Don't worry, with precautions, something like this can't possibly catch us off guard," Mary and Diana said, they weren't like a certain invincible Superman who often got kidnapped and controlled.
After explaining this, Andrew instructed Flash, "Flash, bring me back a complete monster head, don't let anyone see you."
"Monster head? Okay." Flash was startled, then turned to look at the battlefield. Soon, he spotted a monster head floating outside the battlefield and was delighted. He immediately transformed into a blur of light, ran over, picked it up, and delivered it to the Space shuttle.
Andrew didn't waste time, taking out a memory display and placing it on the monster's head to retrieve its memories.
The monster's memories were simple: birth, experimentation, abandonment, freezing, and then waking up in this Space.
The monster had no memory of the transportation process because it was unconscious at the time. Failed experiments like it wouldn't have survived until now if they hadn't been frozen.
"What a pity, I can't find Lex Luthor's location." Andrewsaid with some regret. Batman said, "Even if you find him, killing him won't be easy. General Zod and his group are not simple opponents."
"There will be a chance in the future." Andrew shook his head, "Although I haven't found Luthor's location, I've found the fatal weakness of these monsters. Their bodies are on the verge of collapse. As long as we accelerate this process, we can easily kill them."
Saying that, Andrew used nanoparticles to construct an instrument and research a potion to kill the failed specimens.
Batman looked at Andrew, always feeling that his scientific research ability was a BUG; he could research anything.
Even science should adhere to basic principles, right?
Andrew himself was not a top Scientist, but from a high vantage point, he was both the Lord of Machines and possessed a vast amount of high technology, so inventing all sorts of things was perfectly normal.
After a while, the Doomsday with spots on its forehead crushed a psychic crystal to ambush Superman. Superman was already prepared, stimulating himself with cold air, and was unaffected.
Then, an eight-legged bug jumped from Doomsday onto Superman's face, and then it burrowed into Superman's nose. Superman snorted, and the bug was frozen.
Although he had dealt with the bug, Superman didn't show it, instead appearing dazed.
"Hmph, so what if he's a God among men? He still obediently became my puppet?" Lex Luthor looked smug. Then, he used the communicator on the bug to command, "Use Heat Vision to ambush Tony's Kryptonite longsword and destroy it."
Superman turned his head blankly, his eyes glowing red. Just as Lex Luthor thought he was about to turn the tide of battle, Superman suddenly smiled and said, "Lex Luthor, it seems you're not very smart either."
With that, Superman turned and used Heat Vision to slice a group of stopped Doomsdays in half.
Andrew couldn't help but laugh, "I never thought you were such a Superman."
"Not very smart?" Lex Luthor was startled at first, then his face flushed with anger. He had been played! He, the super genius Lex Luthor, had been played? And by Superman, that brainless muscleman?
What a tremendous humiliation!
In Lex Luthor's mind, Superman had always been the image of a muscleman. In fact, the movie version of Superman's intelligence wasn't very high.
"Superman, I will kill you." Lex Luthor cursed through gritted teeth. General Zod, beside him, shook his head. Lex Luthor was good in every way, except he was too arrogant. A lesson wasn't a bad thing.
Seeing Superman trick Lex Luthor, everyone couldn't help but laugh, and so did the audience, who frantically spammed "Lex Luthor, you don't seem very smart."
At this time, the news of the Houston battle turning around had spread globally. The audience was full of admiration for the Justice League, managing to deal with the bugs in such a short time; they were truly amazing.
Hancock gained a massive amount of prestige as a result—the audience didn't know that the true heroes of this event were Andrew and William.
Andrew didn't care about prestige, because he wouldn't receive World's Favor. Prestige was better given to the Superheroes so that he could capture and sacrifice them.
"It's time to end this, Flash, deliver these bombs to the monsters." Andrew pointed at the bombs he had just developed in front of him and instructed, "Superman, you all prepare to ambush the remaining sixteen Doomsdays and completely eliminate them."
"Understood." Everyone nodded excitedly. Then, Flashappeared on the battlefield with the special bombs, scattering them among the crowd.
The next second, the bombs exploded, releasing a large amount of green gas that enveloped the monsters and Superheroes.
"Wow, Andrew, are you so crazy you're killing your own people?" Tony complained, while he, Superman, Mary, and Diana rushed towards the sixteen Doomsdays at top speed.
The monsters tried to catch up, but their bodies suddenly began to collapse. Soon, the Space was filled with lumps of minced meat.
These gases were useless to normal people, but for the failed specimen army, which was already on the verge of collapse, they were the deadliest poison.
"Lex Luthor, you lost." Andrew said, "Next time, don't bring out such a small trick to make a fool of yourself."
Lex Luthor's expression was extremely grim. The failed specimen army not only failed this time but also couldn't be used in the future, because the opponent had already grasped their fatal weakness.
The Superheroes' progress would not be slower than the villains'.
"Andrew Wang, do you think you've won? This round isn't over yet." Lex Luthor snorted coldly. Just then, several Little Suns lit up in Space, as nuclear bombs next to three alien spaceships were detonated, rapidly annihilating the three alien spaceships.
"How beautiful." Zatanna, having successfully completed her task, sighed. Raven nodded; though she dwelled in darkness, she loved light.
Atom complained, "Don't you feel hot? Let's get out of here quickly."
Lex Luthor's face froze. Did this slap come too quickly? Couldn't you have waited a bit longer to explode? Also, Zerg, aren't you a bit too much of a waste?
Lex Luthor thought of something and turned to look at the Doomsdays, finding them already in disarray, their annihilation only a matter of time.
"I really lost." Lex Luthor, though unwilling, could only admit defeat. He said, "Andrew Wang, I lost this time, but there won't be a next time."
Andrew laughed, "You said that last time too. Next time, you'll say the same."
"fuck." Lex Luthor slammed his fists angrily on the control panel. Andrew Wang, I will defeat you! I am the strongest and most powerful Scientist on Earth.
"Completely defeated." General Zod shook his head. This defeat wasn't Lex Luthor's fault; the main reason was that the enemy was too strong. Both waves of the Zerg were dealt with by them.
What was worse, General Zod had no idea how Andrewhad dealt with the mimic Zerg. What about the promised precognition? Why did it suddenly fail?
Just then, a resentful voice sounded from the communicator: "Kryptonians, I want to cooperate with you."
Lex Luthor and General Zod were startled. Wasn't that the Brain Bug's voice? It wasn't dead yet?
There were nine Brain Bugs in total among the nine spaceships. The other eight had died, but this one alone survived. The reason was simple: having witnessed the Earthlings' miraculous methods, this Brain Bug had prepared in advance.
The Brain Bug prepared a small spaceship. When the nuclear bomb exploded, it activated the small spaceship, taking itself and important devices, and escaped the spaceship through a high-tech method similar to teleportation.
As mentioned before, the Arachnid Zerg's technological level was very high.
"I'd be happy to cooperate with you." Lex Luthorimmediately said, his face filled with excitement and ferocity. "Andrew Wang, I, Lex Luthor, will be back. Next time, I will never lose again."
Kryptonian Zerg, there's something to be gained.
In Space, all alien spaceships were destroyed, and all Doomsdays were killed. Only some bugs still needed to be dealt with. Superman and the others flew back with smiles on their faces, joining the other Superheroes to clear out the bugs.
"Fiora, Green Lantern, throw all the Kryptonian and Doomsday remains into the Sun. Dispose of the Zerg corpses the same way." Andrew instructed. Fiora and Green Lantern both nodded. If these things fell into the military's hands, they would create a new major disaster in minutes.
Although the military had some ideas, they didn't speak up. The reason was simple: they had no technology to go to Space at all.
Earth's development was very abnormal, with black technology rampant, but its basic technological level was still that of an aboriginal planet; even getting to the Moon was extremely difficult.
At the same time, in Houston, Hancock led the bugs to a valley outside. Then, bombers, already prepared nearby, began their bombing run.
Looking at the raging inferno below, and the wailing bugs in the flames, Hancock breathed a sigh of relief. It was finally coming to an end.
"Mr. Wang is still the most powerful. He dealt with the Zerg in a few minutes after coming back. Without him, Houston might really have turned into waste." Hancocksighed and returned to the city to continue attracting bugs.
Inside the city, William, wearing an exoskeleton Armor, carried a fallen pillar, urging a group of survivors to quickly run outside.
The survivors looked at William, whose face was filled with determination and who was incredibly handsome, with eyes full of adoration. This was a hero.
William was very satisfied. The nano-camera sent by Mr. Wang was too useful. Once this video was uploaded online, he would become the military's most dazzling star.
In this disaster, the main credit went to the Justice League. For the sake of face, the military would certainly not let go of him, this bright spot. Promotion and a raise were within reach.
Of course, that wasn't the key. The key was that if he could be promoted to General, he wouldn't have to go to the battlefield for the rest of his life.
That was William's biggest dream.
"Audience friends, although there are still some loose ends to deal with, there's no doubt that we have once again achieved victory. Both Zerg have been defeated by us." Andrew smiled at the audience in the live broadcast room, "Now, you can start cheering. Let me hear your applause."
"Long live Commander! Long live the Justice League!" On Earth, countless viewers cheered loudly and clapped enthusiastically. The alien Zerg invasion disaster was almost officially over. The Commander and the Justice League had once again saved the world.
Before the live broadcast closed, the audience frantically sent gifts to express their gratitude.
"The only pity is that we didn't catch Lex Luthor, that traitor to Earth." Everyone cursed. This time, Lex Luthorbecame completely infamous, becoming the creature most hated by Earthlings.
The reason he was called a 'creature' and not a 'person' was because Lex Luthor had already been expelled from humanity.
Moon Base, all Warrior Bugs had been eliminated. Andrew stood on the ground, asking Atom to restore the basketball-sized Transport Bug to its normal size.
The Transport Bug, which was the alien spaceship, was not dead although it had been shrunk.
Atom nodded and used his enlarging ray gun on the Transport Bug. In the blink of an eye, the 'basketball' reverted to a Transport Bug several times larger than the base.
Although many bugs had died, the Transport Bug didn't look particularly bloody because the squashed Zerg were floating in Space. There was nothing to be done; those bugs hadn't been shrunk.
Furthermore, the Transport Bug made no movements, as it had not received any commands.
Seeing Andrew about to enter the Transport Bug, Atomhastily said, "Mr. Wang, be careful, this bug might attack you."
"No, it's very docile, not aggressive." Andrew chuckled. The Transport Bug was a large bug created by the Zerg specifically for transportation. To avoid problems, it had no self, no intelligence, no emotions, and followed commands 100%. Even if attacked, it wouldn't go berserk.
Basically, it was just a tool bug.
Then, Andrew walked inside the Transport Bug. The Transport Bug itself was not significantly damaged, but almost all of its internal devices and instruments were destroyed.
This was expected. Andrew wasn't disappointed. Besides, the Zerg's development method was too barbaric; even if he acquired Zerg technology, he wouldn't hatch Zerg.
Andrew looked around, nodded with satisfaction, and said, "Good, the Transport Bug is basically intact. With a little modification, it will become our Justice League's transport vehicle and war fortress."
Atom was surprised, "War fortress?"
"Yes, the Moon Base is too conservative." Andrewnodded, "Next, I'm going to transform the Transport Bug into a semi-mechanized war fortress. It will be Earth's first line of defense."
Atom asked, "That will cost a lot of money, won't it?"
Andrew waved his hand grandly, "Money is not a problem. Tony Stark is not short on money, and the military will definitely be begging to invest. At that time, we can just give them a few visitation privileges and get a large sum of funds in return."
Chapter 648 Harvest
"The American Military will definitely be involved with this strategic weapon. Oh, no, the militaries of the entire world will be involved."
Atom nodded, then he asked, "Mr. Wang, can you completely control this transport bug? In the future, we might encounter the Bug Race again."
A war fortress, modified with hundreds of billions of funds, being turned against them on the battlefield—that scene was too beautiful; no one dared to look.
Andrew smiled, "Don't worry, I've only ever stolen things from others; no one can steal my things."
"That statement doesn't sound like a villain at all."
Atom muttered to himself, then the two of them inspected the transport bug together, scanning its entire internal structure with a Scanner.
By the time Andrew and Atom finished their tour, the Space war had completely ended. Tony eagerly flew to Andrew's side and asked, "The battle's over, Andrew, quickly tell me how you dealt with the Houston bugs?
Also, why can you predict the future?"
"Yeah, how did you do it?"
The others also asked curiously. Who wouldn't be curious about dealing with the Bug Race in just a few minutes? Even Batman, with his usual serious expression, perked up his ears.
Andrew smiled and said, "Time loop."
"Time loop?"
Everyone was stunned. Tony became even more interested and pressed, "What exactly happened?"
"I can only say, those who know, know. If you don't know, I can't help you. Too much is involved here, I can't say more, you wouldn't be able to handle it."
Andrew said profoundly, then, without waiting for the others to ask further, he teleported back to Earth.
"fuck."
Everyone cursed in unison. How could there be such a terrible person in the world, getting everyone's interest piqued, and then running away himself?
Mary cursed, "Diana, how do you put up with this guy?"
"Because he secretly tells me things."
Diana smiled and transformed into a golden lightning bolt, returning to Earth.
Mary rolled her eyes. She finally understood why Dianacould tolerate Andrew, because deep down, Diana was also 'dark'.
"When I have time, I'll go beat that bastard up."
Tony said, "First, let's go back to Houston to rescue people; the citizens really need us now."
Everyone nodded, "Okay."
...
On Earth, Andrew found Wade and repeated his previous words, then threw a teleportation belt to him.
"Boss…"
Wade was overjoyed. He was about to express his gratitude properly, but Andrew directly disappeared. He didn't want to be contaminated by that guy again.
Didn't William run away as soon as he saw Wade?
Andrew's next target was Barbara. He first sold her a dress worth fifty million US dollars, then he asked, "Barbara, can you still contact God of Lies?"
Barbara clutched the belt that had put her in debt for forty-five million US dollars and said, "Yes, although I betrayed him, he hasn't cut off contact with me.
Before, he even tried to persuade me to rejoin him, saying he would let bygones be bygones. However, after you arrived, he went completely silent, as cowardly as ever."
"He doesn't plan to talk to me?"
Andrew frowned. This was a bit off. Barbara and Poison Ivy were very important to God of Lies, otherwise he wouldn't try to win back Barbara, a traitor.
Barbara said, "He probably doesn't plan to. I feel he's very afraid of you, which is why I chose to agree to you in the first place."
"Is that so?"
Andrew thought for a moment and said, "You can cooperate with God of Lies, but every mission needs my approval."
"Alright, just in time to earn some money to pay off debt."
Barbara said through gritted teeth, she was just destined to be a worker.
"I like your honesty."
Andrew smiled and returned to Justice Hall to find Poison Ivy.
From Poison Ivy, Andrew discovered something: God of Lies knew he was the God of Creation and also knew about the gamble.
Andrew's eyes flashed, "This guy might be an acquaintance."
Immediately, Andrew shook his head and continued to deal with various loose ends. Once everything was handled, he began to tally his gains from this time.
This time was a Bug Race invasion. The Bug Race even invaded Houston, killing countless citizens, so both prestige and fear were extremely high.
No choice, this time, a lot of people really died. After Gotham, another large City in America needed to be repaired.
In recent years, the American construction industry has been doing very well, and the cremation industry has also been doing well.
Besides the usual two, this time, Andrew also gained Time Crystal, the transport bug, and some technology.
For example, Cleo's rat summoning technique (not intentionally learned, it wasn't difficult, just a few glances and he got it), a bit of Bug Race technology, and so on.
Although the gains this time weren't many, their quality was exceptionally high: the Time Crystal was not an ordinary trump card; even if the world was destroyed, it could reverse it, it was a treasure among treasures.
The transport bug was also a good thing. From now on, the Justice League would have a Space Fortress. If Aliens wanted to invade Earth, they would first have to break through the fortress.
Additionally, Hancock was rescued, Poison Ivy was captured, and Barbara was turned. As for Wade, well, was he a gain or a loss?
"Not bad, I wonder how many more cosmic races will come to Earth in the future?"
Andrew looked out into Space, a slight smile on his face. Earthlings were very hospitable. If friends came, there was good wine; if jackals came, there were hunting rifles.
...
The next day, the battle completely subsided. All the bugs in Houston were dealt with. However, the matter wasn't over yet; many people still needed rescue. After Superman and the others returned to Earth, they had been busy.
Houston suffered heavy losses this time. The Death toll alone exceeded 100,000, and the injured were countless.
The entire Houston was shrouded in immense sorrow. The President flew to Houston immediately to handle various matters.
Speaking of which, this President was also unlucky. Every few months, he had to deal with a major disaster, comparable to President Ellis of the neighboring universe.
The most important contributors to quelling this disaster were, of course, the Justice League. However, the military also produced several outstanding figures, such as William, hailed as the most handsome soldier, and Rita, etc., saving some face for the military.
This disaster made everyone aware of the Bug Race's cruelty and also made the military realize the importance of exoskeleton Armor. Therefore, they placed large orders with Tony.
Tony looked at the continuously rising numbers in his bank account with a calm expression. Money, truly, was just a number.
Then, a piece of news was 'leaked' by the big-mouthed Green Lantern —Commander Andrew Wang had captured a transport bug, and he planned to transform it into a Space Fortress to protect Earth.
Countries all over the world went crazy, immediately sending people to meet Andrew. They stated that as long as they had a place in the Space Fortress, money was not an issue.
Andrew expressed that the pressure was immense: a group of people desperately tried to give him money, fearing he wouldn't take it. How could the pressure not be immense?
Half a month later, the first phase of the Space Fortressmodification plan officially began. Inside the fortress, besides the Justice League, there would also be a United Earth Army.
This matter was of great significance, even worthy of being recorded in history. On one hand, humanity would have a Space Fortress; on the other hand, Earth, in the face of endless disasters, was slowly beginning to merge.
With the United Earth Army, was the global village still far off?
Additionally, Hancock once again became a master of transport, responsible for transporting various materials — there were Space shuttles, but their efficiency couldn't compare to Hancock's.
Hancock could carry tens of thousands of tons of material to the Space Fortress in five minutes. How could anything compare?
Hancock was a man destined to become the King of Transport.
...
Sky Eye Society.
The high-ranking officials of the Sky Eye Society said to Amanda with strange expressions, "Amanda, the Suicide Squad's performance this time was excellent. The Sky Eye Society will give you a special reward."
Amanda's expression was also strange. The Suicide Squad's performance this time couldn't be considered excellent; it was only mediocre.
The problem was, Andrew Wang personally praised the Suicide Squad, so the Sky Eye Society definitely had to give the Suicide Squad a major commendation. That was Andrew Wang, after all.
The high-ranking official couldn't help but ask again, "So, you really don't know anything?"
"I don't know. Also, I've asked those criminals, and they also know nothing. They don't have the guts to lie to me."
Amanda said, "In short, the Suicide Squad, without anyone, including themselves, knowing, helped Mr. Wangsave Houston."
This sounded absurd, but with Andrew Wang's endorsement, no one doubted it.
The high-ranking official shook his head, "Disasters are becoming more and more frequent, and things are getting stranger and stranger. One day, we might wake up and the President has changed, and the whole world considers it natural."
"Our power is still too weak."
Amanda took out two documents from her briefcase and placed them on the table, saying, "I hope you approve these two matters. They can enhance the strength of our Sky Eye Society.
The stronger the Sky Eye Society, the safer America and Earth will be."
"Let me see."
The high-ranking official put on his glasses and opened the first document. On it was a giant starfish.
The high-ranking official was surprised, "Alien starfish? We actually captured an Alien starfish and have been researching it for decades?"
"Yes, to avoid problems, the military placed this giant starfish in the Koto Malta Island Country for research. The government of that island country was established by us."
Amanda nodded, "I've seen it. It's very powerful. If we can control it, we will have a Super Hero of Justice Leaguelevel."
"Control?"
The high-ranking official thought for a moment and said, "Yes, funding is not an issue now, but before successful control, this starfish cannot enter American territory. Also, before success, we will not acknowledge that it belongs to America."
Amanda smiled, "It has nothing to do with America."
The high-ranking official nodded, then he opened the second document.
The second document was a resume. The high-ranking official saw the slightly comical photo on it and frowned, "That weirdo? Dr. Robert Nick?"
Dr. Robert Nick, also known as Dr. Eggman, was a super genius with five doctorates. However, he had a strange personality, believing machines were better than people and always looking down on others, so the military didn't think much of him.
Chapter 649 Space Fortress
"Dr. Robert Nick's personality is indeed eccentric, but his intelligence is very high, almost comparable to Tony Stark."
Amanda said, "His drone technology is the second best in the world, surpassed only by Iron Man's drone armor. The reason he is not as good as Iron Man is because he doesn't have as much funding as Iron Man.
If he can get enough funding, I believe he will invent high-tech products no less impressive than the Iron Man Suit.
We are not short on money now; we are only short on products."
Amanda's words made the senior executive a bit waver. He thought for a moment, closed the document, and said, "Amanda, I can approve both of these projects, but there must be no problems whatsoever. Otherwise, you will have to leave."
"Don't worry, I've said it before, I won't make the same mistake again."
Amanda said confidently. She had failed once and would absolutely not fail again.
Once these two matters yield results, her power within the Sky Eye Society will further increase, and one day, she will reach the highest position.
…
In a hidden underground cave in the forest near America's Green Mountain Town, the owner of the underground cave, a blue humanoid hedgehog half a person tall, was staring intently at a screen, looking very excited.
The content on the screen was none other than the scene of the Super Hero returning to Earth from outer Space.
"Super Heroes are awesome! I want to be a Super Hero."
The blue hedgehog muttered longingly. That's right, this hedgehog named Sonic could speak human language.
Immediately, the blue hedgehog said somewhat dejectedly, "No, I'm an Alien. Once Earthlings discover me, they will definitely capture me for research.
Longclaw also told me that I must keep a low profile, and if there's any danger, I should immediately run to the Mushroom Planet.
But I really want to be a Super Hero, I really want to join the Justice League, and I really want to save the world and its people under the Commander's command.
I also want to race against Flash to see who is truly the fastest?"
With that, Sonic began to run wildly in the cave. His speed was extremely fast, and there were shadows and dust everywhere.
That's right, dust. How could such a fast speed not kick up dust?
Sonic quickly stopped, coughing incessantly. He looked at the messy cave and couldn't help but slap his forehead. Now, he had a lot of cleaning to do.
Sonic sat on the ground, his face full of struggle: "Should I really become a Super Hero?"
…
In April in America, the weather gradually grew warmer, and the ladies' attire also became more revealing. Unfortunately, Andrew was not in America now; he was on the Space Fortress near the Moon.
After several months of effort, although the Space Fortress was not yet complete, it was already habitable. The gravity system, air circulation system, and water circulation system were all set up.
Today was the day the first batch of Earth United Forces moved into the Space Fortress, so Andrew personally came to welcome them.
No matter what, Andrew was the 'landlord'; if security came to the door, he had to show up.
"The various countries are too polite, contributing money and people to help me protect the Space Fortress. This world truly has many good people."
Andrew said with a smile. Diana asked, "Aren't you afraid they'll take over?"
"Of course not. They only have the lowest authority. This place is mine."
Andrew said, "Unless I willingly give it to someone else, no one can take what belongs to me."
"Wow, there it is again, the God-like statement."
Diana scoffed. Andrew chuckled, "I am God, Diana. When everything is over, I'll take you on a tour of the entire universe, to see my domain.
After touring this universe, we'll go to other universes. In short, we'll always be together."
"Can God travel through other universes?"
Diana said, "By the way, I still don't believe you're really God."
"You'll believe it sooner or later."
Andrew chuckled, "Ordinary Gods can't travel through universes, but I can. I originally came from another universe. I'll tell you all about these things slowly later."
Diana scoffed, "It's getting more and more ridiculous."
Andrew sighed and said, "You don't believe anything. So, if I say I have several girlfriends in other universes, would you believe it?"
Diana's eyes suddenly widened. She questioned, "You have several girlfriends in other universes?"
"You don't believe anything else I say, but you immediately believe this statement?"
Andrew retorted, "Heh, women."
Diana said, "Don't change the subject. Quickly tell me, what's this about several girlfriends? Be honest."
"Uh, in Heaven, polygamy is practiced."
Andrew said. What? Heaven doesn't have this system? Someone, write him a 'Divine Decree'.
"You really are a fake God."
Diana scoffed. She was about to continue pressing about the girlfriends when Alice said, "BOSS, the United Armyhas arrived."
"Good."
Andrew nodded, opened the Space Fortress's gate, and welcomed the United Army. Diana glared at Andrew, planning to question him thoroughly when they got home.
Soon, a large spacecraft landed at the Space Fortress. It was a spacecraft produced by the Stark Industries, mainly used for transporting personnel and supplies. Although it wasn't as good as Hancock's, it was stable and cheap.
Then, the spacecraft opened its hatch, and General Calvinled the United Army's high-ranking officials down from the ship.
General Calvin was not responsible for garrisoning the Space Fortress; he was only attending the ceremony.
Andrew's gaze turned towards William, who was behind General Calvin. He was a bit surprised. With William's personality, would he actually come to the Space Fortressand take such a risk?
This was the front line. Once Aliens appeared, it would immediately become a war fortress, and the living conditions in the fortress were far inferior to Earth.
Of course, there was still internet. As a professional internet provider, wherever Andrew was, the internet would be laid, and the speed was not slow at all. At the very least, one could browse TikTok.
William noticed Andrew's gaze and immediately gave a wry smile. He didn't want to come up either, but who made him fall into a trap?
Two months ago, William was promoted to General, and he was very happy; his long-cherished wish had finally been fulfilled.
William's family did not know the true purpose of William becoming a General. They were very relieved to see William change. His father, who used to huff and puff at him, even patted him on the shoulder voluntarily.
Who knew that those old scoundrels were very cunning? They promoted William to make him fill a hole in the Space Fortress.
There was no other way; a General had to be stationed at the Space Fortress. No one wanted to go, so they promoted a newcomer to bear this heavy responsibility.
William had thought about being a deserter, but on one hand, his family had high expectations for him, and on the other hand, the woman he liked was also coming to the Space Fortress. In the end, he gritted his teeth and accepted the position.
This was love.
By the way, the unfortunate woman William fell for was named Rita, the tomboy who had previously collaborated with Andrew.
"General Calvin, welcome."
Andrew and General Calvin shook hands, and then the welcome ceremony officially began.
The details of the ceremony will not be elaborated. After the ceremony, three hundred Space recruits were arranged in the fortress's rookie area. They would first undergo a month of special training, and only after the training would they officially take up their posts.
General Calvin stood in front of the transparent glass, gazing at the distant Blue Star, and sighed, "No matter how many times I see it, Earth is still so beautiful."
Andrew asked, "This indicates that you already have Earth blood and have no plans to return to Mars to visit?"
"No."
General Calvin shook his head and said sadly, "There are no longer any of my people on Mars. I am truly alone now."
Andrew smiled, "No, you still have us, the Justice League, and Earth."
"Therefore, I will do my best to protect Earth and prevent its destruction."
General Calvin thought of something and asked Andrew, "Speaking of which, why has Earth had so many disasters these past few years? It doesn't even conform to common sense."
"I can only say that the next few years will be like this."
Andrew shook his head. General Calvin glanced at him and didn't ask further: "It seems we all need to continue working hard."
"Indeed."
Andrew smiled. In the first two years, everything was just beginning, so they definitely had to work harder, but now, the situation was gradually stabilizing, and he could be a bit lazy and watch some fun.
The big framework was already built, and he had more and more trump cards. Basically, Andrew could not lose.
As the two were chatting, William walked over. Andrewsmiled and said to General Calvin, "He must be here to ask me where the Space Fortress's teleportation device is."
"He's not bad; he's just too afraid of death."
General Calvin shook his head. Soon, William walked up to the two of them. He first greeted them, then eagerly asked, "Mr. Wang, the Space Fortress has a teleportation device, right?"
Andrew and General Calvin laughed simultaneously. Andrew said, "Don't worry, it does. However, if you want to win over Rita, you must show your courage. She doesn't like sissies."
"I can pretend to be courageous, but being afraid of death is my nature, what can I do?"
William smiled wryly. He came from a military family and had received a lot of training, but some things were truly innate.
"You were very brave when you blew up the Zerg leader."
Andrew said, "There's a holographic simulation system in the Space Fortress that I use for gaming. If you're interested, you can play with Rita."
"Holographic simulation system? Such a high-end thing, and you use it for gaming?"
Both William and General Calvin looked incredulous. Andrew spread his hands: "Is it very high-end? I researched it in three days."
"fuck."
William and General Calvin simultaneously rolled their eyes. One shouldn't be too boastful; it can backfire.
…
As the Space Fortress gradually got on track, in Central City, America, a group of police officers were chasing bank robbers on the highway, enacting a scene of speed and passion.
Central City was Flash's territory, but this City was not peaceful; on the contrary, it was very chaotic.
The reason was simple: that explosion not only created Flash but also created a large number of Ability users, such as Weather Wizard, Bomb Girl, Iron Man, Electric Man, and so on.
Barry spent more than two years and still failed to deal with all these people. There was no way; the villains were too cunning.
