Despicable Earthlings

Chapter 37 Despicable Earthlings

To be honest, the idea originally came from Batman.

This is one of the hundred coping strategies Batman researched for dealing with Kryptonians. It is well known that every Kryptonian experiences excruciating pain when they first awaken their supersensory abilities, as they cannot effectively control their limitless senses of sight and hearing, thus easily overloading their nerves.

That's why Batman developed this technique. He specifically researched and developed a unique frequency of sound waves that are super amplified against Kryptonians, using their keen hearing to deliver a massive amount of mental damage.

For Kryptonians who are well-trained and have super hearing that they can control at will, it can only cause some headaches and discomfort. But for Kryptonians who are new to the country and whose hearing is not yet proficient, it can even cause them to crash and faint on the spot.

It wasn't that Shen You intentionally wanted to plagiarize the old man's idea; he simply found the tactic effective. Moreover, when it came to who had the most comprehensive countermeasures against Kryptonians, the old man was second to none, and perhaps only a certain bald businessman from Metropolis dared to claim the top spot.

In fact, just knowing this theory is useless, since the original work doesn't explain in detail how such a sonic weapon should be implemented from a scientific perspective.

Fortunately, Shen You currently has a living Kryptonian at home whose body is still developing, who can help him. Kara's super hearing has only just awakened these past two days, and she can only barely hear sounds from about a street away. It's far from the terrifying global hearing she will have after full development, so the ultrasound doesn't have much of an impact on her; at most, it just makes her feel noisy.

However, with her patient help, Shen You successfully found the corresponding frequency. This was his first opportunity to test it in actual combat.

It looks like it's working well.

Vatox, an unconventional superhuman, also possesses superhuman hearing similar to that of Kryptonians. Caught completely off guard, the ultrasonic wave delivered a devastating blow.

To uninformed onlookers, they might even think the two were in cahoots. Furthermore, Shen You might be some high-ranking superior; otherwise, why would he use super-speed to flash over and fawn over him?

Vatox had a splitting headache and felt like his whole body was about to split open.

Seriously, are all the people on this planet this despicable? Starting with this kind of underworld nonsense?

The next moment, Shen You's fist landed on his face.

With the human host's super strength combined with the mecha's power, and a powerful punch capable of piercing through heavy armor, he unleashed a classic combination of hook and swing punches at the strong man's head.

A series of ultra-fast combos, combining the human host's super strength with the armor's power, resulted in doubled damage when powered by light energy.

Vatox felt dizzy and staggered back two steps. As soon as he regained his footing, a blinding flash of light appeared. Shen You spread his fingers, palm facing Vatox's face. A burst of light energy erupted, hitting Vatox directly in the face.

The energy cannon blasted into his face, and Vatrox's entire body shot out horizontally, creating a massive cloud of dust with a deafening roar.

A few seconds later, the battle axe spun through the dust and slashed towards Shen You. Shen You quickly dodged to the side, but the axe still sparked a few times on his armor, cut a crack, and flew back to Vatox's hand like a boomerang.

The burly man burst out of the smoke, brandishing his axe and roaring as he charged forward in a rage.

The energy cannon dealt damage, but it didn't seem to seriously injure him. Moreover, he still had the strength to charge forward despite the ultrasonic waves, which only shows his exceptional base stats.

It's possible that his mastery of his super senses has reached a level of superhuman proficiency, but Shen You leans more towards the second possibility.

That is because Vatox, as a low-level Superman, has far inferior senses compared to Kryptonians, so the sound wave effect was slightly compromised.

Since the sound is not obvious.

Shen You once again raised his palm cannon in the direction the opponent was charging.

Vatox sneered inwardly upon seeing his actions.

He had just taken a hit from that weapon, so he knew what he was doing. The energy impact from that exoskeleton was indeed much stronger than that of other human guns and cannons; it could cause him pain, but it was still tolerable.

So all I have to do is withstand one shot, and then seize the opportunity to get close and tear that despicable mech to shreds, and then grind the thing inside to dust to vent my hatred.

FxCK!

The next second, Vatox roared in his heart.

This was completely beyond his expectations.

What struck from the mecha's palm this time was not an energy attack, but light.

A pure, sun-like flash that would blind even a 24K titanium alloy dog's eyes.

Flashbang!

That's only natural. Since the master has developed weapons targeting auditory attacks, it's only natural that there would be weapons targeting vision as well.

This is actually much more difficult than hearing. Kryptonians have incredibly powerful eyes; they can see for miles and even see through everything, and they can switch freely across almost the entire known frequency spectrum. Ordinary flashbangs obviously wouldn't work on their eyes.

But this was no challenge for Batman, who possessed all the advanced technology in the universe. After in-depth research on a certain Kryptonian Boy Scout who wore his underwear on the outside, he actually developed a Kryptonian-exclusive version. This version also had a super-amplified effect on the Kryptonian, who was also not yet proficient in super vision.

Replicating this part is much more difficult than using sonic weapons; it's pure black technology.

Fortunately, having lived in the Land of Light for five thousand years, Shen You was confident in his skills in optics, though he couldn't speak for other technologies. Furthermore, with a young Kryptonian in his family volunteering to help him, he successfully reproduced the special flashlight for super vision.

Just like it is now.

Vatox was caught off guard by the sudden flash, and everything went black for a moment. He felt dizzy and unsteady, his momentum carrying him to his knees, where he fell to his knees, dragging along the ground due to inertia.

He slid down to his knees again, bowing respectfully and stopping in front of Shen You.

A second time.

Vatox's vision went completely black, his ears were ringing as if ten thousand excavators were running at once, and his head felt like it was about to explode.

My mindset was like a powder keg about to be ignited.

What kind of underworld weapon is this?

No way, is this how you Earthlings fight? Where did you get this hellish thing from to mess with me?

Do you dare to have a proper fight?

Shen You activated the thrusters beneath his feet, his body soaring into the air and spinning, before delivering a powerful kick to Vatox's jaw. The kick, amplified by the mech's propulsion, sent Vatox flying once more.

As Shen You landed with a somersault, the miniature launcher on his shoulder popped out, and a missile was launched and propelled.

Specium warhead, fire!

The small warhead flew with a sharp whistle, leaving a thick trail of burning smoke, and hit the target in mid-air, exploding into a dazzling display of fireworks in the shocked gazes of the audience!
