Chapter 209 The Red Death? (Sorry I Finally Finished Updating)
Chapter 209 Devastator + Red Death =? (Sorry, I finally finished updating)
Boom!
The violent blizzard rolled up Captain Cold's frost, combining into a huge hail tornado, protecting the Rogues in the middle, giving them a precious breathing opportunity.
At this moment, their battlefield has moved from the rooftop to the ground. The ground was a ruin, and the entire building was plowed flat by the giant gorilla.
And the giant ape Titano was running around them like the Flash.
"Sam, Batman said he would come in two minutes. How much time is left? I can't hold on any longer!"
The veins on the face of the weather wizard bulged, and he tried his best to keep the tornado running.
Before seeing the real thing, no one could imagine what such a huge monster of dozens of meters could do, especially when he still had super speed.
Although his speed was a little slower than the real Flash Barry, the reverse thrust he caused was more than dozens of times stronger!
"There are about 80 seconds left!" Mirror Master said very quickly: "Soon..."
But his words were immediately interrupted by a huge groan from the weather wizard. Mirror Master immediately manipulated the mirror to reflect the sunlight summoned by the weather wizard. Dozens of sunlight gathered together to form a high-temperature heat beam, but it only swept away nothing.
If someone or something runs at supersonic speed, even if it is dozens of meters tall, it is probably difficult to hit.
"I... my opinion is that we run away quickly." Mirror Master heard the weather wizard say. He seemed a little calm, and the words he said were as cold and biting as the blizzard he summoned at this moment.
Mirror Master was not sure whether he said this because he thought so originally, or because he was affected by the climate he summoned.
"We have done enough. We are villains." The weather wizard struggled to support the tornado and whispered, "What happens to the city is a problem that Batman or the Flash should worry about."
He said, "Not us."
He turned his head to look at the mirror master, and his words gushed out like a machine gun: "Sam, you and Lisa have teamed up to save the people in the whole building. We have done our best. You two should repay the favors you owed to Batman. It's time to think about yourself.
He said, "Central City? Well, I really want to save Central City, but the current situation is obviously beyond our ability."
"Batman said two minutes..."
"How much time is left now?"
"About 30 seconds left..."
"In another 15 seconds, the tornado will be finished-let's go to the mirror space to hide first, and..."
"Whether Batman wins or loses, it doesn't mean anything to us, right? "
The weather wizard said: "We..."
"That's right, scoring is the most important thing. The Rogues have no ambition to dominate the world, and they don't play superhero games. If we want to repay Batman and the Flash, we have fought hard until now. "Captain Cold made the final decision: "So open the mirror space quickly, Sam, we..."
"You are no longer the leader of the Rogues." But as soon as he finished speaking, he was retorted by his own sister.
"And this does not mean that the Rogues accept your leadership!"
Several members of the Rogues quarreled.
But there was no time for them to continue quarreling.
In an instant, the tornado finally couldn't stand the giant ape Titano constantly exerting reverse force on him, and disappeared with a loud bang.
Heat Wave looked up and saw Grodd standing on the giant ape's head, looking at all of them with sarcasm.
"Speed Force! Belong to me! Central City! Belong to me! Inferior humans——"
The Golden Glider wove a protective net made of ribbons in front of all of them, barely blocking the giant ape's fists that fell like raindrops.
Under Grodd's intensive physical attacks, the Golden Glider's body shook endlessly, like a dying smoke.
Captain Cold dragged his already exhausted body, still struggling to raise his hands, releasing a large amount of frost, supporting his sister's ribbon network.
"Sam!!!"
Heat Wave heard Captain Cold shouting: "Two minutes have passed, where are Batman and Flash?"
"I... I don't know. They're late." Mirror Master repeated with a trembling voice: "They're late!"
"I knew it!" Captain Cold cursed, then lowered his voice slightly, patiently admonishing his sister: "Our fight is meaningless. Batman and Flash have probably abandoned the city and fled, leaving us here as cannon fodder to die. "
Heat Wave heard him say to the Mirror Master: "Quick, open the mirror world and let us hide in it."
Heat Wave heard him calling his sister: "Let's go, it's not our responsibility to save the world."
Boom!
Another earth-shattering explosion.
The defenses of the Glider's ribbon and the ice created by Captain Frost were gone.
The Mirror Master had created a passage for everyone to escape into the mirror space, but it was too late.
In the face of the Gigantic Ape's unimaginable speed, the mirror, the entire Rogue Gang's hope of escape, was crushed in an instant.
Heat Wave took a deep breath.
He raised his head.
He looked at the residents who had been frozen, saw the panicked teammates, and saw Grodd's rampant and obvious malice.
My name is Heat Wave.
To be precise, it's Mick Rory.
Heat Wave thought silently.
At this moment, I was fighting with my teammates on the streets of Midtown against the "biggest" opponent I and they had ever encountered.
That's right.
"Me" and them.
I'm different from them. I'm sick.
When I was young, my classmates often made fun of me because I was wearing winter clothes.
I like wearing them all the time. The heat and sweat may be closer to the flames than anything else - but like I said... I feel terrible.
Heatwave jumped high, and a ball of fire exploded under his feet amid the screams of Captain Cold and the Weather Wizard, pushing him into the air, and then a super-high temperature flame ray erupted from his chest, making him look like he was wearing wings of fire.
Heatwave felt like he was flying.
"Mick, what are you doing!? We have to run away quickly--"
Heatwave's eyes were empty.
Brad Lake. He was my childhood friend, he was a very good person, but I didn't want to stay there with him, I didn't want anyone else to get hurt. But I ended up killing him. He was burned to charcoal by my uncontrollable me. I knelt beside his body and cried bitterly, but people thought I was just crying crocodile tears.
I was in great pain.
No mental hospital could hold me. My creation and use of fire were unparalleled. Every mental hospital that accepted me ended up turning into a sea of fire.
I tried to perform in a circus, becoming a fire-eater to support myself, and then I burned the circus to charcoal.
The doctor told me that this was a kind of obsessive-compulsive disorder, that my brain could not control my body, as if there was a fire demon full of destructive desire living in my body, devouring my rational soul.
I didn't want to hurt others, but I didn't have the courage to die.
You see... As I said, I was in great pain.
But then I found a good way to heal myself, and the Rogues inspired me.
I designed my flamethrower, my uniform. I decided to commit crimes and burn down buildings, all in the name of robbery. Fire was no longer a disease, but a gimmick.
I succeeded, I really succeeded in suppressing my disease, and I didn't hurt others.
The code of the Rogues was never to kill innocent people, which was just what I wanted. I found a way to do things that neither drugs nor psychological counseling could do.
But now... it was all destroyed.
The uncontrolled superpower made me burst into fire anytime and anywhere. The familiar pain began to break out. I am now a powder keg. I am always worried that one day I will wake up in the morning and see nothing but a sea of fire around me.
I used to hate Captain Cold, and I hated him for giving me uncontrollable superpowers and embracing the curse of my childhood again.
But now, even the hatred has gradually faded and slowly disappeared. I realized that this is an opportunity.
I can't control myself from hurting others anymore because I can burst into flames at any time.
But fortunately, I am much older than I was when I was a child, and much more mature than when I was a young man.
Even though I still can't control my pathological behavior.
But I have the courage to die.
I have the courage to kill myself in order to stop hurting others. I am a person who should not be alive, right?
I am ready.
This is my salvation.
Heat Wave opened his arms.
His superpowers turned his body into a flamethrower that could spit fire at any time, but it also meant that he was a super incendiary bomb.
He heard the shouts of his teammates behind him, but he turned a deaf ear to them. Maybe these old friends didn't understand why he suddenly rushed forward, but it was okay, at least they wouldn't die like him. They were different from him.
Heatwave even smiled.
He knew that Captain Cold would subconsciously slow down the speedster for him, and he also knew that the weather wizard would subconsciously encourage the wind. He never had to worry that his teammates would not have time to cooperate with him.
After so many years, he finally found an excuse to kill himself.
Die to save the city! Die to protect teammates! How great! How sacred!
Although Heatwave knew that his starting point was not noble, he just wanted to commit suicide, but it didn't matter...right?
"No!!! Mick!" Heatwave heard his teammates shouting his name.
"Do you think this will work? Stupid human?" He heard the gorilla Grodd say, "It's all over."
"The end?"
Heatwave said, "Do you know what the end is?"
Dead family, dead friends, dead work, dead everything.
"This is the end!!!"
I set off the fire, I always set off the fire, but this time...
For you, for everyone.
So, at this moment. The 31-year-old super villain, Heatwave, Mick Rory, ushered in the burning time.
"Burn, baby! Burn!"
But he didn't explode as he imagined. He felt himself gradually slowing down, as if the speed force that Batman had given him before, which allowed him to maintain his actions in the speed storm, was being extracted by something invisible.
He felt like an insect falling into amber, solidifying bit by bit. Heatwave's eyes met with Grodd standing on the head of the giant ape Titan Lono. The mockery in the beast's eyes made Heatwave powerless.
He turned his head with great effort. He saw that the mirror master had recreated a new mirror. He knew that his teammates would soon be able to escape successfully-
"No, what are you doing?"
But none of his teammates rushed into the mirror space to escape.
They rushed towards him together.
"The Rogues-will not-leave any member behind!"
No.
Don't do this again.
Don't let me see people around me die again.
Idiots! Idiots! Grodd is already strong enough to drain the speed force in our bodies. Even if we all go together, we can't stop him!
Run! Run!
But it was useless. Heatwave could only watch his thoughts gradually slow down and be condensed in the amber of time.
"That's right..."
Then...
He heard a voice.
The sound seemed far away from them, yet close to their ears.
Grodd turned his head and saw that within three hundredths of a second, the Turtle tied to the Batmobile rushed towards it from the far horizon.
He saw the Batmobile gradually turning into a human form while running...
The red helmet, the ferocious armor on the chest, the bat logo, and the black bat lightning wandering in the air.
"Batman... hurry up!"
Chen Tao held the Turtle in one hand and the Flash who was running with him in the other hand.
Barry's voice seemed distant and long under the wrapping of the Speed Force.
"I can't... hold on any longer!"
"It will be fine soon."
He heard Chen Tao's voice mixed with the Turtle's scream: "The Stasis Force is about to tear me apart! Why does slowing down your time make me so painful?!"
"It will be fine soon."
Chen Tao told him, ignoring the Turtle's expression of tears.
The green stasis force and the golden speed force were linked and intertwined, like a lever, and the weight of the dumbbell [Red Death] lifted high by Chen Tao was distributed to the turtle and Barry.
Batman's body climbed up step by step, and bone spurs continued to emerge from his body in the refreshing of silver-white particles, while the black speed force bats were still wandering on his body, making his body surface appear a kind of deep red like burnt.
Blood was overflowing from the turtle's mouth and nose. During the time that was infinitely slowed down by the stasis force, he was shouting something at the top of his lungs, but Chen Tao couldn't hear it clearly.
Then soon, his shouting stopped.
Flash Barry was better than him. He gritted his teeth and said nothing.
"Speed Force again... Why don't you understand?" Grodd's voice shook the world. He rode the giant ape, and the two voices resonated at the same frequency: "Speed Force is the innate power of our race, just like birds are born to fly and fish are born to dive deep into the sea."
"We are born superior to humans. We are the race chosen by the Speed Force!"
Too many, too many Speed Forces.
Grudd's eyes were full of golden lightning. He looked at Batman, whose body had grown to nearly three meters, with bony spurs all over his body and wrapped in black bat-shaped Speed Force lightning.
He controlled the giant ape Titano to swing his fist. He felt the speed force, jumping and surging in his palm:
"What new tricks have you come up with? It's useless, human!!! This is a power you can't imagine. King Grodd will..."
"Batman... I... I really can't hold on!"
Grudd's laughter was mixed with Barry's wailing. At that moment, Chen Tao's sandbag-sized fist lightly collided with the giant ape's heavy fist as big as a building.
Boom!
In an instant, based on the contact point of the two fists, the arm of the giant ape exploded in an instant. The bones, meridians, muscle fibers, ambition, arrogance, and confidence in victory, everything, all collapsed in an instant, and then this power continued to burst out, sweeping across the giant ape Titano's body like a hurricane.
Everything stopped.
Click.
Titano's eyeballs fell from his eye sockets, fell to the ground, and rolled out, and then the entire giant ape's body, which was dozens of meters high, collapsed like a piece of soft cream.
Chen Tao fell lightly and caught the almost exhausted Flash and the turtle man who had just been cured and turned into a bloody man again without any injury, and put them on the ground.
He walked forward and looked down at Grodd who fell into a piece of minced meat, with a listless look, blood oozing from his mouth and nose, and his eyes wide open.
Today is a sunny day.
Woohoo, I finally finished my work! I accidentally fell asleep again yesterday, woohoo! I worked hard at work today, hmm
