Marvel: Son of Tomorrow

Clark was completely unable to resist the power of the Martian Hunter and was directly thrown out by him, smashing the fence outside the deck and falling into the sea.

The good news is that after being infected, the Martian Hunter lost his sanity, and during the battle he had no idea that he still had powerful psychic abilities.

The bad news is that in terms of strength, Clark is still no match for his opponent.

Clark was pushed into the sea alive. Even though he used thermal vision to fight back, it was just like what happened to little Jonathan when he dealt with Hei Ya. It had no effect at all.

At the same time, under the control of the virus, the Martian Manhunter instinctively used his transformation ability to change his body structure, causing his body to swell instantly and transform into a giant green monster nearly four meters tall, just like Doomsday who once killed Superman in the comics.

As the body grows bigger, more powerful strength also emerges.

At this time, Clark was pressed to the bottom of the sea by the other party with one hand. The heavy pressure on his chest made him breathless. This was the first time Clark had such a feeling after realizing that he was a Kryptonian.

At the same time, this also means that the pressure on the body has reached its limit. If it continues, you will be turned into a pile of minced meat.

Clark wanted to call for help, just like little Jonathan called Superman, he believed that Superman would be able to hear his voice.

But as soon as he opened his mouth, the Martian Hunter used his other hand to press Clark's head into the seabed, burying him under a pile of rubble, so that he couldn't make any sound at all.

As for the sound of fighting, in today's environment filled with cries for help and shouts, even Superman would not be able to immediately determine that there was something wrong with the Martian Hunter in such a noisy environment.

Even if Superman discovered that Martian Manhunter was fighting, he probably thought that Martian Manhunter was fighting the infected.

dying...

Clark's heart was filled with this feeling. When he was struck by Black Adam's magic lightning, he could only feel pain, but at this moment, he felt that death was approaching.

But maybe death is a good thing.

The sea here had no Atlanteans to help evolve, and with the large number of infected people falling into the water before, their blood had already polluted the sea area. Clark could see a pool of scarlet blood approaching him.

Once the virus in the water enters the body through the ears, nose, or even certain parts of the genitals, you will also become infected.

It might be better to die now than to become a highly threatening Kryptonian infected person.

Just when Clark was about to give up, a green ray shot out from the side and knocked the Martian Manhunter, who had turned into a monster, away.

"Superman doesn't give up so easily."

"Mr. Luther!!"

The familiar voice made Clark turn his head immediately. The one who saved him was not Superman or Wonder Woman, but Lex Luthor. The other party was still wearing the kryptonite armor specially used to deal with Superman, and reached out his hand to him.

"Leave quickly. You don't want to be infected like that."

"understood."

Clark and Luthor flew out of the sea together, but immediately afterwards, the Martian Manhunter broke through the surface of the sea and caught up.

"Leave him to me!!"

Luthor didn't know what was wrong with him, but he suddenly acted like a hero, stood in front of Clark, and rushed towards the Martian Hunter.

But in the end, he was slapped away by the other party and fell heavily on the shore of the port.

"Uh... Is this a joke...?"

Clark didn't know much about Martian Manhunter, but he had some understanding of Luthor, who often appeared in the same comics as Superman.

Isn't the reason why that suit can fight Superman due to the weakening effect of kryptonite radiation on Superman? Martians are not afraid of kryptonite...

But the complaints in his heart were not over yet. The Martian Hunter, who had slapped Luther away, continued to rush towards Clark. After transforming, his sharp claws pierced him at a speed that Clark could not dodge at all.

"Oops!"

Clark quickly raised his hand to block, but in the face of the overwhelming power of the Martian Hunter, it was just a show. As long as the attack was implemented, even if Clark did not die, he would eventually be infected due to injuries.

But at the last moment before attacking Clark, the Martian Hunter stopped, and his pupils, which had been glowing scarlet after being infected by the anti-life equation, instantly regained clarity.

"Martian Manhunter...you..."

Although it was only a moment, Clark could see that the other party seemed to have regained his sanity in an instant.

"what!!"

The Martian Hunter's body slowly shrank back to its original shape, holding his head and shouting.

"Run quickly!!!"

The red light in his eyes was flickering. Obviously, even the Martian Hunter could not resist the invasion of the Anti-Life Equation Virus. Regaining consciousness in this instant was already his limit.

But Martian Manhunter himself knew that if Clark ran away, where could he escape to? There were so many survivors here, none of these heroes would run away, and if they did, they would be infected and would definitely cause a large number of casualties.

This instant recovery of consciousness not only allowed the Martian Hunter to regain the ability to think, but also gave him a general understanding of the special features of this virus.

Those infected will be controlled by the virus and will instinctively spread death and cause life to end.

However, there are no restrictions on the specific methods, and the infected person can achieve this goal in any way.

This is also the reason why the infected black witch Eve will take the initiative to lead the infected to retreat. As long as the reason for the retreat is to destroy life, the anti-life equation will not forcibly control the infected.

This also gives the Martian Hunter room to maneuver.

He used his hypnotic power to hypnotize himself, and after planting the hint in his mind to wait for an opportunity to act, he was once again controlled by the Anti-Life Equation.

But this time, with red eyes, he did not directly attack Clark in front of him, but flew away.

He hypnotized himself and told himself to use his ability to become virtual to hide in the dark, waiting for an opportunity to infect the superheroes. In this roundabout way, he guided the infected self to temporarily withdraw from the battlefield.

"What's happening here..."

Clark had no idea what the Martian Hunter had realized or discovered. He might have indeed discovered a way to control his behavior to a certain extent in the hands of the virus, but he no longer had the opportunity to tell anyone the news.

At this time, Luther, who had been beaten, also flew up and patted Clark on the shoulder.

"As much as I hate to admit it, the heroes of the Justice League all possess noble character. I'm sure he found a way to control himself during the brief moment when he regained his sanity."
