Run!

Chapter 38 Run!

Shen You really liked one of Batman's traits: always being prepared.

DC has a saying: you can fight Batman, but never challenge him to a duel. That's the gist of it. If you're a superhuman with bizarre abilities and you encounter him unexpectedly, Batman might just be an ordinary person, and you certainly have a chance of winning.

But if you agree with him in advance to settle things on a certain day, then you're doomed. He probably won't leave the house until he's devised thirty or fifty plans to completely trap you, backup plans for those plans, and backup plans for those backup plans.

Shen You strongly agreed with this concept. After all, in the Land of Light, Shen You was just a scientist with no physical strength, so relying on his intellect was naturally more important than relying on brute force. Thoroughly researching the opponent's strength and weaknesses beforehand and setting traps for them was crucial.

Fortunately, he has memories of DC Comics, which is equivalent to having a certain degree of God's-eye view, allowing him to know the abilities and weaknesses of many characters in advance. In addition, he has the scientific and technological knowledge he gained from studying in the Land of Light, which makes it easier for him to develop countermeasures against various abilities.

For example, like now.

The Sky Eye agents were completely dumbfounded. Just a moment ago, the axe-wielding giant seemed like an invincible war god to them, bullets felt like scraping his skin, and missiles felt like a sauna. He could single-handedly destroy the entire base with just an axe, like a demon from hell in mythology.

Then this guy in the mecha arrived, and the whole thing went completely off track. The man who was almost invincible just moments before suddenly became some kind of comedian, performing two high-difficulty backbends and knee slides, and afterwards he was basically getting beaten up the whole time.

It felt like when I logged in, the opposing team was pulling off amazing plays, dominating the entire game and carrying the team to victory against five opponents like a god of war. But when my carry logged in, the opposing team suddenly seemed to have forgotten how to play the game. Their gameplay became erratic, like they went from being a pro to a complete beginner, completely disoriented and clueless about what they were doing.

"Roar!"

With another roar, Vatox burst out of the fire curtain once more, like a wounded beast!

His face was covered in blood, his body was bruised and battered, and his shirt was torn to shreds. But ignoring his injuries, with bloodshot eyes, he lunged at Shen You recklessly.

It looked quite pitiful, but even the Specium missile couldn't inflict a fatal wound, so its defensive capabilities were already overpowered.

Moreover, the fact that the blast didn't even cause a stun was somewhat unexpected for Shen You. He immediately activated his super speed and simultaneously engaged his armor's thrusters, attempting to fly aside with a short boost.

But Vatox was even faster, and with his extended arm, he grabbed Shen You's ankle just before he could fly away. He punched Shen You's left foot, shattering the thruster and slamming the armor back to the ground.

Upon landing, Shen You immediately raised his right palm, a flash of light appearing in his palm, ready to unleash an energy cannon aimed directly at his face. But Vatox was incredibly fast, grabbing his wrist in one swift motion. The armored wrist deformed and caved in under that terrifying grip, exploding with sparks. The light in his palm went out, and the energy cannon in his right palm went offline.

It seems there's still room for improvement. Shen You quickly came to this conclusion.

He felt that his tactics and preparations were fine. However, the first-generation mobile armor was still struggling against an enemy of this caliber, with its basic performance being suppressed.

Another possibility is that the opponent's super senses are far less advanced than those of the Kryptonians, so the weapons targeting the senses were not used to their full potential.

In fact, Vatox's vision was slowly recovering. Although his eyes were still sore and people looked like they were covered by a thick mosaic, he had regained his basic combat abilities.

Regardless, the test objective has been achieved, and the data collected in this battle is invaluable. After analyzing and improving it, it should play a crucial role in future battles against Kryptonian enemies.

The test is over, so it's time to call it a day.

"Par, you take over the armor," Shen You said calmly.

"Yes, sir," Pal's voice came from inside the helmet. "Enter control mode."

As he spoke, Vatox had already pinned the armored figure to the ground, and the latter roared as he swung his fist high, ready to smash it down.

In an instant, the radiance bloomed like a lotus flower constructed of energy.

The blinding white light instantly blinded everyone in the room. Vatox also involuntarily closed his eyes to protect his face, and his raised fist ultimately failed to fall.

He then instinctively felt a chill on the back of his neck, a feeling of extreme foreboding.

He turned his head and immediately saw the red and silver giant whose radiance had not yet completely dissipated.

And that fist that came hurtling down at supersonic speed like a cannonball.

Bang!

A deafening roar echoed throughout the base, and a white aura exploded in mid-air. Vatrox, who had taken the punch head-on, was sent flying backward, blasting through countless layers of debris before crashing into the open forest outside the base.

Witnessing the terrifying power of the punch up close, hearing the deafening explosion, and hearing the roar of the air exploding, the Sky Eye agents were all stunned.

In this pre-Superman era on Earth, who has ever witnessed such power?

This godlike power made the guns and shells in their hands seem as ridiculous as Lego bricks.

Dyson at the base swallowed hard and glanced at Commander Nicholson, who was also looking dazed, beside him.

"Sir, the Ultraman you requested has arrived. Should we arrest him?"

Nicholson glared at him fiercely.

That expression was as if to say, "Please use your brain, which is smaller than a fly's dropping. Can you hear the nonsense you're spouting?"

Shen You took a step forward, and his fifty-meter-tall body suddenly appeared, with a transparent hurricane bursting out behind him.

In his transformed state, all his basic attributes instantly skyrocketed to incredible values. In the blink of an eye, he had caught up with Vatrox and reached the spot where he had crashed.

The alien was lying face down in the woods when it felt an overwhelming shadow looming over it, and a silver fist rolled down as if carrying a burning wave of energy.

boom!

Vatox, who had only gotten halfway up, was blasted back by the fist. The ground suddenly sank, trees sank by the roots, and the earth collapsed and cracked in all directions.

In fact, if Vatrox were at full strength, he might have a fighting chance against Shen You. With his base stats, he could at least hold his own for a few rounds.

After the ordeal, his ears were still ringing, his eyes were throbbing with pain, and his retina was completely blurred. His head was spinning, slowing his movements, and the Specium missile bombardment had left him with cuts and bruises all over.

Vatox couldn't even unleash half of his full power, while Shen You had a full mana bar and was in top condition. He even took advantage of the flashing effect that came with his transformation to launch a sneak attack first, using a combo to pin down the opponent so hard that he couldn't even lift his head, leaving him no chance to fight back.

Another punch landed on him, and Vatox felt as if he had been struck head-on by a comet. His body felt as if his bones had been pulled out, leaving him with no strength left, and he was limply lifted into the air by the monstrous force and the whirlwind.

Shen You crossed his arms, and his arms glowed with blue light, crackling with thousands of electric arcs.

Vatox now seemed to finally understand why the two previous members had disappeared without a trace on this primitive and backward planet.

It turns out it wasn't that my teammates were bad.

But there is a great terror here!

Despicable methods, vile and vile, using every possible means.

The key point is that their strength is absolutely incredible!

How do you play this?

In his final moments before being engulfed by the Specium Ray, he desperately sent a message to his teammates.

"Earth is terrifying, run!"
