Superhero Comic – Overlord’s Path

17. Peacemaker: Barry Allen

The fate of Steel Bone is sad. He was absent from the losing battle of the Justice League, and he did not play a role as a back-up. In the face of surreal magical power, his belief in science could not be reversed... He could only stand on the space station. Besides, he watched his brother be defeated one by one.

After that, the connection between the space station and the ground was severed.

The members of the Justice League did not fail to find a way to get back to the space station, but due to their own serious injury and the obstruction of space gems, after they returned to the space station, there was already empty.

The steel bone is missing... and judging from the tragic experience of Sea King Arthur, he is probably dead.

But just when everyone’s hopes were dimmed, a small meteorite that fell from the sky changed this bad fate. The first small lightning to be there saw the steel bone embedded outside the small meteorite. The body of the machine has been fragmented, and even the mysterious mother box that sustains life has been dismantled. Theoretically, he is dead.

"Bruce! Clark! Come on! Steel...I found Steel!"

While struggling to peel off his companions and comrades from the meteorite, Xiao Lightning sent a message to the other members. Soon, the robots and Justice League think tanks that had lost their life activities were sent to the highest-end experiments on Earth. In the room, the host of this laboratory is Ganggu's father, Professor Stone.

He is one of the wisest and most knowledgeable people in this timeline world.

"Obviously, our brother has been treated inhumanely!"

Clark was standing outside the heavy glass observation room. He watched the steel bones that were placed on the mechanical test bench, being repaired bit by bit in the beating of sparks and electric current, his fists were clenched.

"Not Overlord!"

Bruce stood aside and said softly: "That guy uses a more mysterious magical power, and the steel body was systematically dismantled. It should be done by a guy who is proficient in science and technology... in the dark bat. There seems to be a robot..."

"It's a killing machine! I have seen that guy!"

Green Lantern Hal, who hurried back in an emergency, said in a deep voice: "He is wearing a high-tech battle suit and usually uses a method called "Alfred Protocol" to attack his opponent, which is a reorganization of nano-scale micro-robots. The attack program appeared in the image of Old Ah Fu."

"There is no doubt that that is my other "dark" brother."

Batman shook his head: "It seems that Ah Fu's fate is terrible in his world."

"boom"

The door of the laboratory was pushed open, and the Wonder Woman wearing a red cloak walked into it quickly. She looked sober. She was holding Batman's arm, and there was a sharp breath all over her body. She asked in a deep voice. To:

"How about the plot of the steel frame?"

Bruce patted Diana on the shoulder, motioning her to calm down:

"It looks terrible, but Dr. Stone said that the core of the steel bone was short-circuited and dormant only because of the strong stimulation, and he will soon wake up."

"What did those bastards do to him?"

Diana put her hands on the glass observation room in front of her eyes. She looked at the reorganized steel frame, and there was a painful light in her eyes: "What do they want from this poor man?"

"No one knows... at least no one knows until the steel frame wakes up..."

Clark looked at his seriously injured friend, and he said softly: "Arthur died and the steel bone was seriously injured, all made by dark bats. Just when we were attracted by the overlord’s hatred, we lost two brothers... The lady Black Hawk is right. Maybe, the evil-looking Overlord is not our enemy."

"At least not the toughest enemy."

The Flash then said: "I just made a sneak trip to Gotham. It was beyond my expectation. He didn't start a massacre in that city, and he didn't even harm a civilian. To be honest, I think he is under his rule. Gotham, it’s safer than the previous crime city. The people there seem to be used to the new life..."

There was a strange expression on the face of the fastest young man in the world:

"He used the devil and the dark knight to maintain order, but it did not cause the citizens to panic. I don't know how he did it, but the current situation there is indeed like a paradise, much better than other chaotic places. And I’m sure that he discovered my intrusion, but he didn’t act on me, like...like not treating me as a threat at all."

"He seems to treat us as little children...maybe as friends?"

Having said this, Barry was somewhat depressed, and Hal closed his eyes and said in a deep voice:

"Will your friend beat you? Barry, he is still a butcher... The Green Lantern Corps was killed by him! This hatred must be reported!"

"But that was because of the sudden incursion of the Green Lantern Corps, causing all the dark bats he had caught to escape!"

Barry retorted quietly:

"I can see very clearly that if there were no undeclared battles by the Green Lantern Corps, the dark bats would have died there. There would be no trouble at all. From this point of view, Arthur's death and the serious injury of the steel skeleton, The Green Lantern Corps has an unshirkable responsibility...Although I also think they did nothing wrong, it was just a bad accident."

Facing the Flash’s rebuttal, Hal was instinctively angry, but he didn’t know how to respond. Just like Barry’s faint accusation, this time the Green Lantern Corps’ actions, even in the eyes of Hal, who has calmed down, are indeed Somewhat recklessly, the elders of the monitors seemed to be controlled by a certain dark mood, and they simply summoned all the lantern men regardless of...

And if you think about it carefully, it seems that the overlord hasn’t done anything appalling since his appearance until now. The most damned criminals and villains who died under him... even when they were besieging Gotham. , He did not kill even an ordinary soldier.

"So, we are the villains in this not fun story, right?"

Hal looked at the ring on his finger mockingly, and said softly, "So now, who is righteous and who is evil?"

"boom"

Amidst a few unpleasant conversations, the restoration work was paused, and Dr. Stone opened the door with a tired and sad look and said to the other heroes:

"Children, come here, I found something in the heart of Little Stone's mind...you may be interested."

"Doctor, how is Victor's situation?"

The remaining members of the Justice League filed in. Superman patted Dr. Stone on the shoulder and asked in a low voice: "Can he... still wake up?"

"That mysterious mother box protects my son's soul. Now I have to thank the damn accident. His body was only dismantled. It only needs to be replaced by a steel body. But for the study of the soul, we Not good at it."

The old doctor was a little sad. He looked at Superman with a hard smile on his face:

"Fortunately, he is still alive, but he may need to recuperate for a while."

"Then what do you want to show us?"

Bruce asked, the old doctor reached out and pressed a button, and some clear projections appeared on the wall on the other side of the laboratory:

"It's memory... Victor himself has made some changes to his mechanical body. He stores his memory in the core of his mind in the form of pictures. I think these memories buried deepest in the core are his I want you to see..."

"Huh"

The fragmented picture rotates back and forth on the projection, and finally converges into a swaying picture. It seems to be the shaking of the head in pain, but it can be vaguely seen that it is similar to the structure of the space station laboratory, and in Victor’s In memory, in front of his eyes, stood two dark figures.

"It's the laughing bat and the killing machine!"

Barry yelled: "It really is them!"

"be quiet!"

Diana reprimanded and Barry closed her mouth obediently.

"His... mother box... tenth metal... that comes from... the melting pot of the universe... the core origin..."

In the picture, the Laughing Bat is saying something to the killing machine, but it is intermittent. It should be because of the bad mood of the steel frame at that time that he has problems with the sound reception, and the picture is also a bit torn, but it can barely be seen. clear.

"Extinguish the furnace... extinguish it with N metal... let the universe return to darkness... Barbatos... wish, we... the destructive... future."

The Laughing Bat approached the steel bone while talking. He stretched out his fingers and raised the steel bone's head, revealing a grinning smile:

"Victor...you will be...destructive...starting point!"

"what!!"

"Huh"

Accompanied by the scream of steel, the picture ended here, but the picture of less than 10 seconds made the heroes of the Justice League look at each other, because the information contained in this simple picture is a bit too large.

"Cosmic melting pot?"

Superman and Batman looked at each other and saw the surprise in each other’s eyes. Thanks to their past adventures, they are not unfamiliar with this concept, which is one of the ultimate forces that maintain the existence of the universe. It exists in a special In time and space, the extinguishing of the melting pot of the universe represents the tragic end of all things.

"N Metal!"

Batman said in a deep voice, "I saw this metal description in Carter Hall's diary!"

"Carter Hall? Hawkman?"

Barry looked at Bruce in surprise: "He has something to do with this, too?"

"In fact, in historical records, Carter Hall is the only mortal hero who has defeated Barbatos, and it is precisely because of this victory that he and his wife have the mysterious N metal in their bodies. Only by this can we realize the endless rebirth and rebirth for thousands of years... Carter Hall said that it is a kind of mysterious metal, it does not come from the world, it is above the laws of physics... is one A weird metal that exists specifically to distort reality!"

"And this kind of thing has the ability to kill the dark forces with one blow!"

Batman clenched his fists, he looked back at the unconscious steel bone:

"Victor woke me up...the dark bats are collecting N metal! They raid Atlantis for this too! Arthur once told me that the first Aquaman had a weird habit and he liked to collect all kinds of All kinds of weird metals... damn it! They should already have enough metal to extinguish the furnace of the universe!"

"Brothers, we have to rush over!"

Superman Clark looked at the others and said in a deep voice: "We have to stop the dark bats from doing things!"

"Wait! Clark!"

Batman grabbed him. He glanced at the others and said softly: "There is another possibility...These pictures, maybe the dark bats left on purpose...They want to cover up their original purpose. As cunning as their dark master..."

"so what should I do now?"

Hal hesitated, after all, what Bruce said was also possible.

"There are two soldiers!"

Bruce looked back at the dark picture on the wall. He said in a deep voice, "Diana and I continue to look for the whereabouts of the dark bats, Clark, you and Hal go to the melting pot of the universe to take a look."

"what about me?"

Little Lightning Barry looked around, pointed to himself and said, "What should I do?"

Bruce looked at the Flash. He took a step forward, put his hands on Barry's shoulders, and said solemnly and solemnly:

"Your task is the most difficult... Barry, this is a task that is likely to die!"

"You must go to Gotham and contact the overlord. If we are not enemies, then we should stand together now. No matter what he thinks of the world, we must wait until we repel this wave of darkness. I'll talk about it later... He is the force we can unite!"

Bruce's mission caused Barry's body to tremble. He looked left and right, his voice trembled:

"Why... why me?"

"Because the overlord has a very friendly attitude towards you..."

Diana said softly: "He beat Clark without hesitation, almost strangled Bruce, and killed Hal's friends. As for me...for some personal reasons, I don't want to appear in front of him... .Aren’t you good at making friends? Barry."

"And you just said that, you can feel that the overlord treats you as a friend who is not threatening, doesn't it?"

Green Lantern hugged his shoulders and sneered and said, "You still speak for him... Maybe he will look at this, and he won't chop your neck off the moment you appear."

"Okay, don't scare Barry!"

Bruce said in a deep voice, his eyes under the mask stared at the Flash in front of him: "Believe me, Barry! That's not a murderer, I can feel that he came with a higher purpose. In our world, we are reluctant to explain his intentions to us, but no matter what, whether it is righteous or evil, the wrong war is over... The hope of peace is up to you now. !"

Batman paused, approached Barry, and lowered his voice:

"And the most important thing is that if he is really hostile to us, only your speed will be there to escape his killing... Therefore, this task must be done by you, and only by you! "
