Chapter 210 Luther and the Philosopher's Stone (1/2)

Passerby A: "In fact, I already have a lot of money, even more than this asset, but who would dislike making too much money? Of course, the more the better..."

Passerby B: "I plan to use this money to buy a new house. Although I already have a lot of real estate under my name, this does not prevent me from continuing to buy houses."

Passerby C: "Since you want to give me money, why can't you give it to me?"

The situation in the venue was a bit chaotic. Everyone came for this sum of money. The rich man Brett asked everyone to explain why they had reasons to obtain this asset.

The first person on the right stood up and said that he had a lot of money but didn't mind getting more.

The reasons given by the people later were more outrageous than the others. Some people had a lot of real estate under their name and wanted money to continue buying real estate. Some people were not short of money and just wanted it by licking their faces. Some people didn't have a penny on them. Some people were holding books that sublimated their souls and were ready to use the money to find utopias. Some people were ready to use the money to disrupt society. Some people didn't pay off their debts and their companies went bankrupt and they went to jail. There were so many reasons that made people dizzy.

Clark: "What a greedy bunch of people."

Brett: "In fact, there is another person who wants to publish his ideas."

Millionaire Brett listened to the circle and said that someone also had some ideas to publish. As he finished speaking, Luther appeared in the next frame of the comic strip.

Clark: "Is it Luther?!"

Luther: "Who among you really wants this asset?"

Everyone: "It's me!" xn

Looking around at the people in the venue, Luther asked.

Although everyone didn't know who Luther was, they still shouted loudly because of their desire and greed for wealth.

Luther: "Hahaha, you stupid fools, that money can only go into my pocket in the end, not only that, but even the entry fee you paid will become mine!"

Looking at the greedy people in front of him, Luther couldn't help laughing and telling his plan.

Louise: "I should have thought of it earlier."

And Louise behind the curtains in the distance heard Luther's true purpose and thought to herself that she should have guessed that this was his conspiracy.

In the picture, Luthor stretched out his hand and released a strong electric current, instantly knocking out everyone in the room, including Lois.

Superman: "You can't succeed, Luthor!"

At the critical moment, Superman appeared and was about to attack the evil Luthor, but Luthor suddenly stretched out a hand to block the two and warned.

Luthor: "Back off, Superman, otherwise no one in this room can leave this room."

Luthor: "Don't do it casually, Superman. If you want these people to die together, of course, if you want to save these people, there is a way, as long as you can complete the deal with me."

Superman: "Deal? What is that?"

Then, Luthor asked Superman to calm down and put forward his purpose. Hearing this, Superman asked about the specific content of the deal.

Luthor: "I need the Philosopher's Stone in the mansion on the Forgotten Mountain in Skull Valley. As long as you can get it, I will let everyone in the room go. I promise."

Facing Superman's question, Luthor finally told his real purpose. He wanted the Philosopher's Stone in the mansion on the Forgotten Mountain in Skull Valley.

Luthor: "I must get it for some emotional reasons, but the journey is too dangerous. Only you can overcome these dangers and get the Philosopher's Stone."

Superman: "It's a deal!"

Luthor made up a lie, saying that he had to get the Philosopher's Stone for some emotional reasons. Without thinking, Superman agreed and set off for Skull Valley.

Skull Valley has been desolate for many years, and Superman also wanted to understand why it became a no-man's land.

A jump, a mountain suddenly appeared in front of Superman, Superman didn't pay attention, and went directly into the mountain.

However, there was a magic circle inside the mountain. The powerful magic power made Superman unable to move inside, and he could only float with the waves. When he realized where he was, he found that he had fallen into a snake cave.

Snake: "Hiss..."

Although the magic circle prevented Superman from flying normally, it did not affect the use of his other powers. Soon Superman used his super strength to defeat the snakes.

Continue to move forward, and rely on his superman's defense to pass through a sea of ​​fire.

Finally, a hall was found. There was a stone statue in the hall. The mysterious magic stone that Superman or Luthor asked him to find was embedded on the forehead of the stone statue.

Around the stone statue, some believers were whipping some slaves to push a wheel, which was supposed to be used to activate the energy stone to maintain the magic circle.

Seeing this scene, Superman went forward without hesitation to knock down these believers and took off the magic stone on the head of the stone statue.

Rumble---

The stone statue without the magic stone collapsed.

Climbing out of the ruins, Superman pushed away the rocks blocking the cave, and then led a group of slaves out of the Forgotten Mountain. These slaves were the local residents who had disappeared before.

Afterwards, Superman returned to Metropolis and brought the magic stone to Luthor.

Superman: "I have fulfilled my promise and brought back the magic stone. You should let them wake up."

Luthor: "Hahaha, very good, thank you Superman."

Luther: "If it weren't for your help, I wouldn't have been able to get the power of the Philosopher's Stone so easily. You stupid guy, don't you know that the Philosopher's Stone is actually an item made by an ancient magician, which contains powerful magic power and can bring endless power. Now this power will belong to me. With this power, you will no longer be my opponent..."

After getting the Philosopher's Stone, Luther finally told his true purpose.

This is also the original intention of Colin to create this episode, using a simple and rough way to show the power of magic and unlock new abilities.

Luther: "Now while I'm still easy to talk to, feel free to leave here, lest I throw you out, I'm going to be the new master of this world now!"

After getting the coveted Philosopher's Stone, Luther became extremely arrogant, and even ignored Superman in front of him.

In response, Superman's expression did not seem to change, nor did he get angry because he was deceived by Luther. He looked at the triumphant Luther and told the truth immediately.

Superman: "You've been deceived, Luther. Actually, the Philosopher's Stone I gave you is a fake. The real Philosopher's Stone was replaced before I came here. You will never find it."

Luther: "Damn Superman, you broke your promise, you untrustworthy guy!"

Superman: "Same here."

After hearing Superman's explanation, Luther was a little furious. He threw the fake Philosopher's Stone in his hand on Superman and released all the current. The huge current illuminated the whole house, but Luther became more and more terrified.

Luther: "No, my power, the power of high-voltage current..."

Soon, the power in his body was constantly lost, until it finally disappeared, and Superman successfully defeated Luther who had lost his power.

Luther, who was tied up, realized that the energy he had introduced into his body before had been used up, and felt that he would need more energy next time.

At this time, everyone who was unconscious woke up, and Brett was also glad that he had gotten rid of Luther's threat.

When everything was arranged, Lois wanted to express her gratitude to Superman who was about to leave.

Superman said that he didn't need to thank him, and he would tell Clark what happened and let him write the news before Lois.

"Front page: Luthor will be electrocuted tonight."

Soon, the verdict on Luthor came down, because his evil plan would be electrocuted tonight.

Editor: "Clark, the news about electrocution is handed over to you."

Lois: "I will not participate in the death penalty report, even if he is Luthor."

The editor handed the news to Clark, and Lois also proposed not to participate in the report for the first time in the comics.

Clark: "I am a little worried. This is the first time to observe an execution."

Passerby: "Don't worry too much, it's no big deal, it will be over soon."

In the observation seat, Clark told the people around him that it was his first time to observe an execution.

And the people around him advised him to relax and get used to it after watching it more.

Not long after, Luthor, who was sentenced to electrocution, came out. He was placed on the electric chair by the executioner. When the executioner turned on the switch, the high-voltage current instantly flowed into Luthor's body.

Luther: "Haha, you stupid guys, this is exactly what I need!"

However, Luther did not have any abnormal reaction. On the contrary, he broke free from the shackles and laughed. His power source was the electric current, and the electric shock of execution just helped him recover his lost power. At this moment, no one could stop Luther who had recovered.

The executioner: "Quick, stop him!"

The executioner saw this and asked the people around to catch Luther.

But Luther turned around and smashed the heavy electric chair at the executioner. At the critical moment, Clark used his back to help the executioner block the flying electric chair, and Luther took advantage of the chaos to break the wall and escape.

At this time, Clark slowly stood up and said that he was fine. Although the people around him found it unbelievable, they all thought that Clark was lucky and did not doubt it.

Afterwards, Clark informed the newspaper by phone and said that he would explain everything later.

After hanging up the phone, Clark took off his suit, revealing Superman's battle suit and planned to stop Luther.

On the other side, the fleeing Luther was being chased by the police. The bullets hit him like Superman, and had no effect. When he was about to tangle with the police, Superman arrived in time and the two wrestled together.

Luther thought he could fight Superman to a draw, but was still thrown out by Superman.

But when Superman came to check, Luther had disappeared. It turned out that he took the opportunity to escape from here on the landing gear of an airplane.

Luther: "If I can get the power of the Philosopher's Stone, Superman will not be my opponent. I need the Philosopher's Stone!"

Luther still did not forget the Philosopher's Stone on the way. He thought that as long as he could get the Philosopher's Stone, Superman would no longer be a problem.

Back to his lair, Luther told his men that he had an order for them to do it, but his men still couldn't believe whether Luther had the same powerful power as Superman.

Later, a train could not move on the rails. It turned out that Luther was showing his men the power he had gained.

A radio tower not far away broadcast the news. At this time, Lois and Clark were interviewing.

After hearing the news, Louise drove directly to the scene and left Clark there.

As a last resort, Clark had to follow Lois to the scene of the incident in the form of Superman.

On the other side, Luther, who stopped the train, had looted the entire train.

When escaping, he happened to meet Superman who had arrived. Superman lifted the car and threw out the people inside. Luthor turned around and grabbed Lois' car, which had just arrived.

Superman thought Luthor was going to run away, but he didn't expect him to lift the car and hit him.

Faced with this scene, Superman was not to be outdone, and the two smashed the car together.

At this time, a subordinate grabbed Lois and prepared to threaten Superman, but Superman went directly into the ground and stretched out his hands from the ground to grab the opponent's ankles. Superman grabbed the two and smashed them, knocking the subordinate unconscious. , saved Louise.

But Luther had already escaped at this time, and he had no choice but to hand over these men to the police.

That night, Clark held the Philosopher's Stone and wanted to know what it contained. His super vision kept magnifying the Philosopher's Stone. It turned out that Superman was using his microscopic vision to observe the secrets inside the Philosopher's Stone. He saw countless Circles of light appeared in the Philosopher's Stone, and these circles seemed to have magical powers.

On this day, Clark read in the newspaper that an expert understood the mystery of the Philosopher's Stone, so he found the expert with the Philosopher's Stone, hoping that he could research something, but he did not expect that the expert was pretending to be Luther.

Luthor: "Haha, you were fooled by Superman, and now the Philosopher's Stone belongs to me!"

Seeing that the situation was not good, Superman rushed to grab the Philosopher's Stone, but the powerful Superman was stopped by Luthor with one finger.

Immediately afterwards, in the comics, Luthor came outside and became extremely huge in an instant. He dismantled a huge steel bridge and smashed it on Superman. Superman found that he could not break free from the suppression of ordinary bridges, and even felt the power in his body. Already gone.

Superman: "How did you do that, Luthor?"

Luther: "This is the power of the Philosopher's Stone. It can take away the energy from you and transform you from Superman into an ordinary person. You are no longer my opponent, Superman!"

With that said, Luther picked up Da Chao with two fingers and threw it to the ground.

Superman jumped on the spot a few times and found that he really couldn't jump into the air like before.

Luthor, who gained powers, gradually became the master, and the entire metropolis was under his rule. All opponents were imprisoned, but Superman did not give up.

On this day, Clark and Lois secretly came to Luther's prison.

However, he was caught by Luther's men, and Clark found that the people imprisoned were all those who had previously watched the execution.

Lois was temporarily tied up because Luthor had to deal with it personally, while Clark was pushed directly off the platform.

Clark, who was falling, grabbed the only iron hook, but he couldn't catch it because he lost his ability. Fortunately, his suit caught the hook, and then Clark climbed up the high platform little by little and found a place where no one was around to take off his clothes. He took off his coat and rushed towards his two men as Superman.

Subordinate A: "It's Superman!"

Subordinate B: "Run quickly..."

Although he had no abilities, Superman still managed to scare away his two men with his reputation.

Just as he was about to take Louise away from here, he was blocked by Luther.

Luthor lifted Superman up and tried to finish him off.

At the moment of crisis, Superman remembered the scene he had seen inside the Philosopher's Stone through super microscopic vision. He concentrated and began to control these apertures. In the next second, something magical happened. Superman's originally disappeared power actually reappeared. And there is something different. With these lost and recovered abilities, Superman turned the tide of the battle and took advantage of Luthor's surprise to take away the Philosopher's Stone from his neck.

Without the power of the Philosopher's Stone, Luthor is obviously no longer a match for Superman.

Luther: "No, how did you do it? I have obviously used the magic stone to take away your ability!"

Superman: "Since you can use the power of the Philosopher's Stone, why can't I use it? I converted the power of the Philosopher's Stone and made it my ability. Now I not only gained power, but became more powerful!" "

Superman explained to Luthor the principle of reactivating his energy. He converted the magical power of the Philosopher's Stone into his own energy source, which he used to display his superpowers.

As he spoke, Superman puffed up his chest, and the power of magic caused his body to shine with a powerful light. This was the magic version of super defense.

Seeing this scene, Luther was unwilling to take the Sorcerer's Stone back, but it was obviously no match for the Magical Superman who had been upgraded. Luther ordered his men to stop Superman, but they were afraid of the power of the Magical Superman and did not dare to step forward. .

Even ordinary Superman is no match for them, let alone a Superman who has gained magical power.

Luther: "You guys are as cowardly as mice, if I had known I should not have taken you in!"

Luther: "In this case, no one can survive."

The furious Luther pulled the self-destruct switch and prepared to bury everyone with him, but the magic superman took everyone to a safe place before the explosion. Only Luther was left alone and was submerged by the explosion. As the explosion occurred, the magic stone also disappeared. Being similarly destroyed, Superman's magical power disappeared and he became his original appearance.

Louise returned to the newspaper office and was about to tell Clark about her experience.

Clark said that Superman had already told him ahead of time.

Lois: "Why does Superman tell you the news first every time?"

Faced with this situation, Lois couldn't help but complain.

Clark: "Maybe it's because I happen to meet Superman every time."

Clark just smiled and explained.

On that day, the news that Luthor was defeated became the news of the "Messenger Daily". Metropolis was no longer ruled by the other party and restored the peace of the past.
