American Comics: Beginning with Luke the Maker

Chapter 371 Mutation
"You still remember me, which makes me very touched. The memory of me in this timeline is too tragic, isn't it? But I have to thank you. Some of your previous research allowed me to know a secret and obtain An incredibly powerful force.”

Victor von Doom said while his body was suspended in mid-air.The familiar energy fluctuations turned into the light of magic elements, swimming flexibly beside him. Those lights made the four Reeds feel the fatal danger.

"Psychic energy!" No matter how reluctant he was to admit it, Reed still couldn't help but feel depressed when he saw this scene.

"You also know? It seems that the trouble that ran away before I had time to clear it up has indeed hidden in your timeline. Looking at the surrounding psychic fluctuations, he seems to have made a lot of small moves here, doesn't he? "Dum felt the familiar energy fluctuations around him, with surprise in his tone.

"What are you talking about?" Reed didn't know what Doom wanted to say, but he still keenly used questioning words to attract the other party's attention, and used his brain to quickly think about the next way to escape or fight. s arrangement.He never thought that his actions and motives could be concealed from Doom. After all, the other party was also a smart man, but he knew Doum well enough. With the other party's pride and arrogance, even if he had an insight into his purpose, the other party would still Just go along.It's like cat playing with mouse.

Facts have proved that this is indeed the case. Psychic power has given Doom strong self-confidence and arrogance, which makes him become more and more arrogant.Especially when seeing Reed, who used to overwhelm him in many aspects, he was happy to follow the other person's wishes.He really wanted to see what other methods the other party could use to stop him.

"A person who doesn't belong to this timeline like me, he belongs to another world. It's the world where psychic energy is. He was supposed to die, but he seemed to be lucky enough to survive, and he is still hiding here quietly. He has created so many industries and technologies. Is he that Harry Osborn? Are you working for him now? Then he is really unlucky." Doom's words made Reed and the others look at each other. , with astonishment in his eyes.

"What, you're surprised that I know this?" As if he could see the astonishment and doubts of Reed and the others, Doom's voice sounded just right: "Psychic energy is far more magical than you think. It seems that Ha Leigh Osborne is not a person involved in core technology.

Look at all this old technology that should be phased out, look at all that psionic chaos.Do you just use it as energy?This will limit your vision and prevent you from developing a deeper understanding of spiritual energy. "

"What on earth do you want to say?" Ben Grim, who had a body like a rock, said in a sullen voice. Looking at Doom who was approaching them as if he had no protection, his palms clenched into fists were a little eager to try.He is not a person who advocates violence, even though he has power far beyond that of humans.But he will not give up his advantage and power at critical moments to protect his friends or others.

"Isn't it obvious what I want to say? Psychic energy can not only be used as a kind of energy, it is also a good recording medium. As long as we are exposed to the surrounding psionic energy, as long as we master the corresponding method, I can You can access all the information recorded by it.

For example, its origin in this world, the people it has the most contact with, and everything that happens within its coverage. They can even act as a supercomputer to deduce what will happen next in a certain area.

For example, right now, I know you really want to punch me when I get close, and Reid is also despicably planning another attack on me in his mind.I can even know the abilities and strengths you each have.

This is an alternative form of predicting the future, which can also be said to be omniscient and omnipotent. "Dum stopped in front of the four Reeds, and spoke in a longer tone, full of ridicule to the four of them.

"It's so eloquent." Ben Grimm and Johnny Stone, two people who usually don't deal with each other very much and look down on each other, showed quite a tacit understanding at this moment.

Ben's strong body jumped up high and punched the iron mask that was so close at hand.

Under the cover of the other party, Johnny Human Torch instantly released the huge energy in his body. He turned into a burning man and released his latest trick, high-temperature spray, in the direction of Doom.

The fireballs circled around Ben's bulky body like magic raindrops and landed at the location of Doom in Johnny's memory.The boiling flame instantly raised the surrounding temperature several degrees.

Susan Stone almost subconsciously used her mind power to release an invisible transparent defense layer for herself and her boyfriend Reed to prevent them from being burned by the high temperature and even life-threatening.

"You're still so stupid, Ben. I don't want to use that word to describe you, but please forgive me, it's the only word I feel right now that fits your behavior."

Ben was shocked to find that the fist he swung out suddenly encountered some kind of delayed resistance, just like hitting cotton. The further forward, the faster the power faded.

Johnny's instant high temperature of thousands of degrees did not have the desired lethality. They were directly absorbed and wiped out in the air.

"Perhaps I didn't tell you that I have learned a lot of magic. Of course, without suitable energy support, most of them are like the crazy imagination of a madman, and they are of no use at all.

But it's different now. I have the energy to support them, just like humans have electricity.A whole new world has opened before my eyes. "

Doom's voice sounded leisurely, and he seemed to like seeing the surprised looks in Reed's and the other four's eyes, which made his desire to talk a little stronger at this moment.Of course, this strong desire to talk will soon become boring.If Reed can't once again demonstrate the skills that dazzled him, Doom won't want to waste any more words on the opponent.

The power he now possesses can already be said to be similar to that of a god in human perception.Maybe before he officially became a god, he still had some interest in the people who had repeatedly frustrated him in the past, but if this person could not show the strong resistance he deserved again, then this obsession would quickly fade away. .In his mind, the four Reeds were no different from ordinary people or insects.

The reason why he stayed here instead of going to Harry Osborn immediately was because he wanted to catch up with Reed and the others in this timeline.He wanted to see how much power Reed, who was always technically omnipotent, could resist in the face of the current situation.

But right now, it seems that his expectations for Reed are indeed too high.After all, he arrived suddenly, and the other party had no time to use technology to resist him in a targeted manner.The abilities of the four on the opposite side may be powerful enough for ordinary people and unrivaled, but in his eyes now, they do not constitute a threat to him. "The power and ability you can control now come from spiritual energy, right? But what if you lose your spiritual energy? Do you still have the confidence you have now?"

Before Doom, who was feeling a bit bored, could make a decision on the next step, Reed's voice, accompanied by several buzzing sounds of the machine starting up, fell into his ears.

Several drones quickly appeared in the sky and hovered over the area where the four people were.At the same time, Doom felt that the spiritual energy around him and the spiritual energy in his body suddenly appeared to stagnate and subside.The feeling of omnipotence and power was also leaving him.

The fist that had been frozen in the air suddenly regained its mobility. Ben's fist subconsciously exerted force. The fist, which was bigger than an adult's head, suddenly hit Doom's face heavily. The iron mask on his face, There was also a dull sound under this great force.Doom was knocked upside down from mid-air and rolled twice on the ground.

"If you are really Doom in this timeline, if you are really omniscient with the help of psychic powers, then you should understand that Reed always has targeted backup technical means. After all, I have had enough over the years. Those accidents, I hate accidents and dangers." Reed emerged from Susan's protective shield and said.

"Using the technology you invented, did you disrupt the surrounding spiritual energy and make it enter some kind of [vacuum state]? Amazing technology!" Doom stood up from the ground, as if Ben Grim's powerful and heavy force just now , as if the fist that was enough to smash a person's head didn't really hurt him, the distorted iron mask on his face, like memory metal, quickly returned to normal in front of Susan and the others.

"But your technology is not perfect from beginning to end, Reed! It can only work, but there are bound to be accidents." Under Doom's voice, the drones in the sky seemed to have been cut by sharp weapons. All sorts of things fell down one after another.The surrounding spiritual energy converged towards this [vacuum zone] again.But Doom no longer needs them. He has his own energy source. The tall giant door not far behind him is providing Doom with massive power.

"No!" Reed shouted in frustration when he saw his drone was destroyed.This was one of the trump cards that he secretly built using the equipment of Osborne Industries to deal with today's operation.

Doom's appearance disrupted his plans.

What makes Reed puzzling is that even though the other party has temporarily lost the psychic link, what method was used to destroy the drone?Looking at the drone that was cut into pieces, it was obvious that it was some kind of incredible weapon.You know, the drone uses a special alloy metal that he researched in Osborne.It has both strong toughness and hardness.

In other words, according to previous tests on the strength of these alloy metals, if the drone's body can be cut so easily, it should not be much difficult to cut their bodies.

Especially now he doesn't know what kind of weapon it is, or it's not some kind of cutting item at all, such as a laser or other weapon.

"It's some kind of energy creature!" Susan gave the answer in panic before Reed could figure it out.The telepathy she spread out was like a sixth sense extended from her body, so in her [vision], she saw the culprit who destroyed the drone.

They are a group of shadow-like beings that can perfectly blend into the night and darkness.Yes, it is life!Because Susan sensed the fluctuations of life in them.

"Where are they?" Reid asked subconsciously.

"In Doom's shadow!" Susan quickly gave the answer she had observed.Those black, irregular-shaped beings quickly fell back to the ground after destroying the drone, and then merged into Doom's shadow along the ground.

"Be careful, Doom is not normal right now!" Then, Susan reminded Reed and the others in a panic, as if she had observed something.

"Of course I know he's not normal. How can a normal person be like him?" Ben roared angrily, feeling frustrated and trapped in the air again by a force, like a rock statue.He had a lot of strength, but when he met Doom, he seemed to be stuck in a quagmire and restrained in various ways.

Johnny, who turned into a burning man and rose up from the ground, only dared to maneuver quickly around the perimeter. It seemed like a voice was telling him that if she dared to get close to Doom, the end would be quite miserable.

"What I mean by abnormal is that his life form has also undergone huge changes from ours. In other words, he has mutated more drastically than us. At least we still maintain our human form, but he has become another person. Planting life." Susan took two steps back with a horrified look on her face, looking at Doom with a look of great fear and horror.

"Isn't he maintaining a human form like us?" Looking at Doom's body, Reed stepped forward to comfort the frightened Susan while asking in confusion.

Susan didn't answer, but Doom clapped in appreciation.

"It seems that you are always the sharpest among them." Doom looked at Susan, who was looking at him in horror, and a smiley face was strangely twisted on the iron mask.

Under the astonished gazes of everyone, Doom's body began to expand, and then suffered severe distortions. Under the green robe that was torn by the swelling body, his ugly body was exposed to the air, as fine as down. The thin tentacles swayed in the air, and the opponent's shadow was like a group of demons dancing, twisting and dancing happily on the ground, as if it had its own will, making movements that were completely different from the body.

"I evolved! Under the infusion of spiritual energy, I transcended the limitations of human beings. I gained immortal life and mastered powerful power. The price is that I am no longer a human being!"
