The rise of comics

"The Rise of American Comics"

Just when Gaia finished speaking, the ground beneath everyone's feet suddenly began to tremble violently.

"what happened?!"

The remaining four Green Lanterns were checking Hal Jordan's injuries, but they stood there as they swayed and their center of gravity became unstable. As a last resort, the four could only hold Hal Jordan up and float up.

At this moment, Bruce also fell from the air. His feet seemed to have roots. Standing on the shaking ground, it felt like bungee jumping training... and the vibration frequency could be felt in an obvious and intuitive way as it became higher and higher... .

He stared at the ground beneath his feet, and the pupils hidden in his mask unconsciously narrowed.

Also at this time, it was not just the London area that felt the earthquake.

Earthquakes of varying degrees began to occur all over the world. Panic-stricken people fled their houses and fled to open areas. However, the increasingly powerful earthquakes did not calm down or weaken at all.

"No, members of the alliance, this is an emergency. Strong seismic waves have just been detected from all over the world, and they are still rising sharply."

"If we look at the frequency of such a large-scale earthquake, it is very likely that it will indirectly cause a chain mutation reaction in the earth's crust, which will then lead to global volcanic eruptions and super tsunamis..."

Cyborg's worried voice came from the communication channel.

"Why did this happen suddenly?"

In the watchtower, Green Arrow Oliver gritted his teeth and punched the round table in the conference hall.

"Gaia must have done this."

Constantine's eyes seemed to have an irreversible gloom.

"What is he trying to do?"

He remained silent for two seconds, then rushed to the main console in the hall and roared almost ferociously through the communication channel.

"Tell Savage that bitch, if he delays any longer and doesn't reveal the whereabouts of the magic lamp and the truth about ancient history, I will take him to see Mephistopheles!"

"Believe me, I will make him fully feel how 'hell' will treat a living person who cannot die. He will definitely be happy to try it..."

..............

"Oops, the survivors are in danger."

At this moment, Clark looked a little embarrassed when he flew back. His hair was a little messy, and his body was covered with large amounts of mud and dust. Even his uniform was damaged to a certain extent. He first looked at Gaia in the sky, and then He looked in the direction of the village.

The increasingly powerful earthquakes made the already damaged marginal towns even more shaky, and many barely supported buildings collapsed under this secondary shaking... People screamed in terror, running, and accompanied by members of the military and government. Although they are trying their best to appease them, according to the current situation, no one can protect themselves and there is no time to take care of everyone.

This seemed to be a sign of the collapse of the earth... This situation was unexpected even for Bruce.

"No matter what he wants to do, I will stop him and you will help the survivors."

Bruce said a word, and then a crimson arc light lit up on his dark armor. The speed force charged in his armor was instantly activated, and he disappeared from everyone's eyes in the blink of an eye. , and rushed towards Gaia, which was rising higher and higher into the sky.

Clark and the Lanterns looked at each other.

"We're going to help the survivors get shelter."

Hal Jordan managed to hold on, he was the most seriously injured, and glanced at the direction Bruce flew to.Said Superman.

Although their expressions looked very heavy, several people did not hesitate and rushed towards the township area and began to help the remaining survivors evacuate.

"The live broadcast can only go so far."

Cyborg, who was closely observing the development of the situation through the drone network, sighed inwardly, and then evacuated the remaining drones.

The world live broadcast has come to an end... However, most people now have no time to watch this shocking showdown like the arrival of Batman. The sudden earthquake indiscriminately caused the whole world to collapse. The omens ahead are different from the physical form of 'Gaia' that actually kills people and destroys wantonly - this is a real invisible force, just like the anger of nature. In front of it, the human collective is really like an ant. So small and unbearable...

"Warning, high energy reaction detected."

"Ok?"

The neutral AI prompt sounded suddenly in his ears, causing Bruce's figure to pause suddenly and stop high in the air.

He looked down at the trembling and cracked earth. The main system projection on the Hell Bat's visor was flashing a warning red light rapidly.

The rumbling sounds came continuously from the depths of the earth to the ground, as if something unknown was about to come out.

Looking up again, Bruce's pupils shrank, and he found that Gaia's figure that was still in his field of vision had disappeared at some point.

He looked around sharply, up, down, left and right, but there was no sneak attack coming towards him.

"Could it be that the seal of the Sunwell was completely destroyed and Gaia's true form was born?"

Bruce immediately switched the communication channel to the enhanced link.

"Flash, Aquaman, how are you doing now?"

"Oh Bruce, I made something special!"

Barry's voice came from the other end of the communication channel, but the noise was a bit heavy. Obviously, even on this enhanced channel, the signal exchange between the two parties was still very unstable.

"Long story short!"

As if he was afraid that Barry would talk a lot of 'nonsense' again, Bruce added before the other party continued to speak.

"Uh..."

After being choked, Barry was a little embarrassed, but he also knew what his temper was, so he thought for a moment and said.

"I...I may have really found traces of the magic lamp, but I can't be sure yet."

"There's no way to get 'it'."

"Gone?"

Bruce frowned.

"Don't you want to make a long story short?"

Barry looked innocent.

"If we want to talk about the specific situation, then..."

"Okay, you ask the King of Shanghai to come with you. I'll notify Cyborg now to take you back."

Bruce interrupted.

"Has the seal of the Sunwell collapsed? Has Gaia's body been liberated?"

"What? Has the monster's seal been lifted?"

Barry's voice was a little stunned, and it was obvious that he was unaware of the current situation in the outside world.

But Bruce soon knew that the current situation was not the liberation of Gaia's body.Of course, the premise is the so-called 'Gaia body', if it is not a monster that is more than 200 meters high by visual inspection...

Under his somewhat stunned gaze, a huge dragon-shaped beast that broke through the earth and rose up like a mountain slowly emerged from the endless tremors, cracks and collapse of the ground.

The strong wind set off a Category 1000 storm, blowing Bruce back more than [-] meters. With a roar that shook the atmosphere, the monster finally stood in front of him.

What kind of monster is this...?

The terrifying head of a Tyrannosaurus seems to have been magnified dozens of times... You can even see its frightening upper and lower rows of huge teeth... Its whole body is gray-brown, with bulging muscles. Like a mountain of flesh, its thick skin is rough and irregular, covering its body like a set of heavy steel armor. On its back, sharp, crystal-like transparent barbs are arranged in a straight line, growing horizontally to the end of the thick tail. , just standing on the ground, the endless sense of power and the oppression of the peerless beast came face to face.

Seeing the emergence of such a monster, not only Bruce was shocked, but also the survivors in the distance, Clark and the five Lanterns, all had expressions of shock and disbelief written on their faces.

When has there been such a monster on earth?

"Oops... I know what this is. Batman, this is a war weapon created by Gaia back then. Just like the Twelve True Ancestors, it is a biological weapon used to kill humans and fight against gods!"

Constantine's voice came in through the communication channel.

Bruce was slightly startled. He remembered the earth-shattering pictures of ancient battles he had seen on the cylindrical murals in that hall, with overwhelming monsters and gods fighting... But in those pictures, he did not see such depictions. An exaggerated monster.

The giant beast in front of me was too tall and too big.It's like the tallest building in the world has turned into a ferocious living body. With just a sweep of its tail, it can set off a violent wind that destroys everything. With a roar, it can disperse the clouds in the sky. How can such a monster hide underground without being destroyed? found?

"Similar monsters have been found in more than 200 places around the world."

Cyborg was also connected to the communication channel.

"However, they are generally giant monsters less than 50 meters tall. Batman, there is good news and bad news. The good news is that the earthquakes have gradually decreased. It seems that the earthquakes worldwide are caused by these monsters... The bad news is, the one in front of you...is the biggest one."

"...I understand, is this Gaia's method?"

Bruce was floating in the air, the black-winged cloak behind him exuding ripple-like energy fluctuations. He looked around at the ground beneath his feet. The scanner detected a kilometer radius, but except for the super giant monster in front of him, there was no detection. to any vital signs.

Maybe Gaia possessed Floyd, the Deadshot, and no longer had any changes in vital signs. Maybe he was hiding, or even this monster was the other person... But since Gaia made it He brought such a monster, obviously intending to use it to deal with Bruce and others.

Although Bruce didn't think Gaia was possessing the body form, he was afraid of his Hell Bat Armor.

Is this what he just said, giving them a chance to save humanity?

Are you kidding...this monster...

Are you teasing us again and again...

Bruce suddenly understood something.Gaia really does not regard them as opponents, even if they are representatives of human guardians.

The Justice League doesn't know how many methods and abilities Gaia has yet to reveal. As the consciousness of the earth... how far it can go is still unknown.

"Warning, extremely strong electromagnetic pulse interference has been detected, switching to energy shielding..."

At this time, the AI ​​warning prompt made Bruce instantly alert.

Looking up, the mountain-like monster had turned its huge body around and was staring at him in the air with a pair of brown turbid eyes.

The size of the two is completely different. In front of this monster, Bruce is as small as a pebble suspended in the sky.

"An attack on the way is detected, and the combat assistance system is fully activated to avoid it!"

At this time, before Bruce could react, the Hell Bat Armor was already pulling him, and he suddenly evaded in the left direction.

Then, an invisible ray suddenly lit up in the void. It was countless electromagnetic arcs that converged into one. The violent magnetic changes even affected the operation of the magnetic field. Countless gravel, tree debris, etc. on the ground floated one after another. The next second , a terrifying blazing white breath cannon barely passed by Bruce. The brilliance of that moment even illuminated the entire world extremely brightly. The violent breath cannon twisted the void and continued unabated until it rushed into low-Earth orbit. , shot into the universe, and finally turned into a few straight lines of white light that flickered on and off, and slowly disappeared.

"It has been detected that 20.00% of the armor's right arm coverage area is damaged, and nanofilling repairs are in progress."

"..."

Bruce said nothing, his eyes became extremely solemn.

"Immediately conduct a weakness analysis and calculation, the more detailed the better! Compare the energy field of this monster and find a tactical control plan!"

Just by this terrifying energy attack, Hell Bat's armor layer was damaged. Although it was not serious, if he had not been able to evade in time just now, but had eaten such a shot head-on... then It's hard to say whether he still survives now.

He didn't even see how the giant monster in front of him launched its attack. In other words, only at the moment when the breath cannon was activated, the naked eye could capture the rise of the electromagnetic arc.

At this time, there was a loud bang, and suddenly the giant monster's body staggered slightly, and with a roar and hiss, Bruce looked intently, and it turned out that Clark was flying to help him.

Just now, he collided with the giant monster at super high speed, but the impact was so powerful that it could smash even the building into pieces, but it only made the monster shake its body slightly.

Seeing that the effect was not great, Clark immediately hit the monster's body with his fist like a violent storm.

Roar--!

The transparent crystal-like thorns on the monster's back suddenly bloomed with violent electromagnetic light arcs, and then flowed to the monster's limbs and bones like a shock wave. The blazing white aurora emitted a rapid electronic bass pulse, bursting out, and Clark was shocked and flew backwards.

But seizing the moment after the impact, Bruce in Hell Bat Armor fell from the sky and turned into a black meteor. His punch was as powerful as destroying the world, and he hit the monster's head hard with one punch.

This blow was only heavier than the one that knocked Gaia away.

The ground suddenly sunk down more than ten meters.

A large irregular circular pit was blasted out.

The rubble carried the soil and rolled in all directions, and large amounts of dust rolled up into the sky like an ocean. With another violent roar from the beast, Bruce's figure appeared more than 1000 meters away.

Then, an afterimage flashed around him, and the bright red cloak matched the deep blue suit. Clark also appeared beside him, looking at the super giant monster that fell backwards in the thick smoke.

"Did you knock it down?"

Frowning, Clark didn't know whether he was asking Bruce or himself.

"-careful!"

Bruce pushed Clark away and retreated.

boom----!

Another space-distorting breath cannon passed by, and its energy abundance increased instead of decreasing. Following the orbital impact, the breath cannon entered the clouds, as if it poked a hole in the sky, and then disappeared.

"Batman, this is a high-polymer plasma cannon, which is also accompanied by extremely high nuclear electromagnetic radiation. Do not be hit head-on, otherwise the Hell Bat armor will lose half of its effectiveness at best, or it may disintegrate on the spot!"

On the other end of the communication channel, Cyborg's warning voice became a little blurry.

This is because of the impact of electromagnetic pulse on electronic devices. Fortunately, the Hell Bat armor has an energy shielding function, which can shield electromagnetic pulse interference to the greatest extent. Otherwise, facing such a monster, this god-level weapon may become a pile of useless waste. iron.

But Bruce couldn't understand that a monster appeared out of nowhere and could emit such a level of plasma cannon?

He really couldn't understand what the principle was.His understanding of the powerful boundaries of living things can be said to have once again refreshed his worldview after Superman and Doomsday.

Compared with Gaia, a special existence that tends to be indescribable and extremely difficult to evaluate at a macro level, this dragon-shaped monster is more in line with human beings' understanding of the concept of the ultimate creature.What kind of evolution can make a flesh-and-blood life form grow into such an incredible form, capable of ejecting highly polymerized plasma beams with temperatures as high as hundreds, thousands, or even tens of millions?The destructiveness of this attack method will only be stronger or weaker than ordinary nuclear bombs made by humans. After all, the maximum power of ordinary nuclear weapons is only the fission of form within that tenth of a second, and then relies on large-scale radiation, contamination and nuclear electromagnetic to carry out area-of-effect damage, but the breath cannon ejected by this monster can destroy it with a longer peak power time, let alone the Hell Bat Armor, even if Superman can withstand such a blow head-on, I'm afraid It must also be irresistible. On today's earth, based on the current level of human civilization, there is no known defense method that can block such an attack.

Looking at the super giant beast that had taken a heavy blow from the hammer but still failed to fall completely, and watched the opponent swinging its tail violently in an attempt to regain its balance, even Bruce couldn't help but feel excited in his heart. A touch of despair.

Although Gaia suddenly disappeared in front of him, the sudden appearance of the super monster was no less threatening to humans than the Gaia that wreaked havoc before.

Without the existence of the Justice League, Bruce dares to say that no country in the world can resist such a terrifying monster. As long as it is given a certain amount of time, this giant beast alone can destroy all mankind. the power of.

Not to mention, Cyborg reported that similar monsters are now appearing all over the world. Even if those monsters are only at the younger brother level, they will definitely bring extremely painful costs to mankind.

In the flash of thoughts, Bruce was also a little confused.

Although he believed that his willpower was indestructible, he took off this armor and clothes... As everyone knew clearly, he had no superpowers, no superpowers that could reach the sky or the sea. He was just A stronger mortal.

He has worked hard so far to protect his city, to protect the entire world, and to become the guardian of mankind... But what he got in exchange now is a desperate reality.

If it were anyone else at this moment, I'm afraid they would have been directly crushed by this pressure.

Gritting his back teeth, Bruce's expression even became a little distorted. Without saying a word, he rushed towards the giant monster again. The kinetic energy of the Hell Bat Armor was raised to the limit by him, and the way to exchange power was through him. A body's life potential.

Unknowingly, his original short black hair had gray hair quietly growing out from between his temples.

Another heavy punch that shook the world, Bruce broke through the sonic boom, and his left fist was like a wild lion swooping down, and like a roaring sea, the atmosphere was squeezed into a violent shock wave that separated and scattered, violently bombarding On the chest where the monster had just gained a foothold, at the moment it was in pain, what sounded at the same time was not only the monster's scream that shook the sky, but also a sound that belonged to humans and Bruce Wayne.The unyielding, suppressed and madly released roar that belongs to Batman.
