The rise of comics

"Stop talking nonsense, what can you do? We still need you here. You came up with the way to find the magic lamp, and it involves those ancient legends. No one among us understands these. You must stay here. , waiting for Savage to hand over the truth."

Bruce frowned.

"But..."

"No matter what, we have to stop the nuclear bomb first."

After forcefully interrupting Constantine's next words, Bruce quickly returned to the console.

"Cyborg, can you find a way to abort the nuclear bomb launch?"

"Theoretically, I can."

The voice in Cyborg's communication channel paused, seeming hesitant.

"But doing so may push us into opposition to other countries."

"There is no time left. We must suspend the launch of nuclear bombs. You send a message to inform the governments of various countries. Whether they believe it or not, the nuclear bombs must not be dropped. Also, are you optimistic about Savage's spaceship?"

"Batman, are you anxious? Don't worry... If you can really find the magic lamp, then you can make a wish to resurrect everyone and restore everything to its original state. Even if all humans are dead, It won’t be a big problem.”

Savage's careless voice, which sounded a bit far away, came through the communication channel.

"How could I put the entire human civilization on the magic lamp?"

Bruce frowned.

Resurrection is unthinkable. Resurrection of millions, tens of millions, or even billions of all human beings sounds like a fantasy, even if the magic lamp claims to be an 'omnipotent' wish. thing, but Bruce still couldn't believe that there was some kind of divine thing in this world that could do such a thing.

"That's just because you don't understand the greatness of Isudar Shah, Nunn..."

"I know what you are thinking. If you get the magic lamp, you may be able to erase the existence of Gaia. But you who have illusions about this do not think that the magic lamp can resurrect dead humans?"

There was a hint of contempt for the ignorant in Savage's tone.

"One thing I'm curious about. Since the legendary magic lamp Isodar Shah, Nunn is so incredible, haven't you gotten it in all these years?"

Cyborg seemed to be asking Savage.

"[The Immortals] have been pursuing the magic lamp for thousands of years. Isn't this your ultimate goal?"

"Ha ha..."

Savage laughed meaningfully.

"That's not something I should reach out for. Of course, maybe you can try it."

He answered the question incorrectly and stopped talking.The footsteps seemed to be walking a little further, and he was probably observing and evaluating his Kryptonian-modified spaceship.

"I just uploaded a detailed document and submitted it to the governments of various countries... As expected."

At this time, Cyborg spoke again.

"The top leaders of various governments did not believe us...and I hacked into the nuclear bomb launch instructions, which caused strong shock to the top leaders of Russia and the United States. After all, before this...they did not know that we could do this."

"When did this happen? Are you still thinking about national strategic security?! Humanity is about to be finished!"

Oliver looked a little furious when he heard this.

"...You can't expect them to change their minds immediately. After all, it happened too suddenly, and the size of a huge national system is different from that of a small team like ours."

Bruce sighed. He seemed to have expected such a result, but the fact was really before his eyes, which was indeed a bit hard to accept.

"What should I do? Do I want to continue to hack into the nuclear launch systems of Britain and France?"

Cyborg looked very hesitant.

Before this, various countries did not know that the Justice League's technological level was able to control the launch of nuclear weapons of various countries. The Justice League did not reveal any relevant information, which also included the control of Kryptonian technology and knowledge.

After all, for human civilization, nuclear weapons represent the strongest force at the moment, and this kind of trump card... There is actually a small-scale independent team that can unveil it wantonly, and the national department with this trump card cannot stop it. ..This is terrible.

This is equivalent to the fact that all the nuclear bomb codes are in the hands of the Justice League, or within the scope of Cyborg's capabilities, and the defenses of various countries are as if they were in vain. If the Justice League went crazy that day, or Cyborg turned black, wouldn't it be okay? To destroy the world and humanity anytime and anywhere?

The fragile trust that was originally established could be said to have collapsed in an instant. Originally, all countries turned a blind eye to the Justice League, but from then on, such a delicate relationship no longer existed. No longer exists.

"continue!"

Bruce gritted his teeth and shouted in a low voice.

And within less than a minute after he gave the order, the main console in front of him started flashing green prompts.

"Stirring a hornet's nest..."

Bruce murmured, and he could see that communication access requests from various countries were popping up on the big screen one after another. Among them, Russia, the United States, Britain and France had the most requests for access. It was foreseeable that the top government officials on the ground must have exploded. .

"I just intercepted 830 invasion commands. It's obvious... governments of various countries have regarded us as 'terrorists'."

Cyborg said in the communication channel.

"...Crap. I have good news and bad news."

"what happened again?"

"Although I successfully intercepted the nuclear bomb launch, unexpected situations still occurred... Countries all have some special nuclear warheads that are purely physically activated and skip random encryption and local verification links. These emergency equipment are for In preparation for unexpected events such as electronic paralysis, several nuclear bombs were launched... It was Britain and France who did it."

"Why are they moving so fast?"

Bruce was slightly startled, shocked to realize that the two leading countries in Europe were really determined to fight Gaia, and asked immediately.

"Tell me more details! How many nuclear bombs were launched?"

"I don't know... I didn't use network intrusion to learn about this launch. The drones and detection equipment I placed far away from London detected the trajectory of the high-speed missile. I suggest you immediately monitor the satellite Perform fixed-point capture.”

"But who is going to stop these nuclear warheads?"

Before Oliver could finish his words, he heard "I'm going". The three people present turned their heads and saw the transmission device located in the corner of the hall humming loudly, dazzling white light rising from the ground, and a touch of red cloak. The figure immediately disappeared in the torrent of countless particles.

"Damn..."

Bruce glanced at Oliver, the Green Arrow next to him, and said in a deep voice

"Oliver, I'll let you control this place for now. Is there no problem?"

"What are you going to do?"

Green Arrow seems to have guessed something.

"You don't want your life. What can you do if Superman intercepts the nuclear warhead?"

He looked surprised.

"Batman, although you have the inheritance of Moses, the power of just a piece of holy cloth is not enough to make you comparable to Superman. It would be too dangerous for you to intercept nuclear warheads together... not to mention there are still people on the ground. Gaia, if he detects it, the consequences will be unimaginable."

Constantine also said solemnly.

"If the nuclear bomb were dropped, the consequences would be out of control."

"And didn't you just say that someone has to delay it... We can no longer sit back and watch the sacrifices continue."

Bruce glanced at Constantine.Said in a low voice.

Ignoring the two people's dissuasion, he spoke in the communication channel.

"Cyborg, prepare the C52 plan for me."

"What, C52? Batman, the C52 plan is not mature at all. We haven't even had time to evaluate it in an experiment. You..."

Cyborg's stunned voice came from the communication line.

"Now is the best time to experiment."

Bruce interrupted the other party with a low voice.

"...alright, I got it."

Knowing Bruce's temper, Cyborg had no choice but to agree.

"But I must make it clear to you that the C52 program may threaten your life... I can't predict its impact and consequences on you yet. Have you really thought about it clearly?"

"It's gotten to this point and we can only do what we can."

Bruce took a deep breath and said solemnly.

"Tell Vandal Savage to hurry up. I only give him two ten minutes at the end. After that, I need everything he knows, whether it's about the magic lamp or Gaia."

"what are you going to do?"

Constantine narrowed his eyes.

"Become a sword."

After saying this, Bruce turned around, his eyes filled with indomitable perseverance, and his black cloak fluttered behind him. He walked towards the elevator and headed towards the equipment laboratory on the third floor of the watchtower.

..........

Europe.London.

When the smoke gradually fell and dispersed, a huge irregular circular depression and a dazzling imprint were engraved on the earth.

Among the traces of destruction covering hundreds of square kilometers, the former appearance of the largest and most beautiful city in Europe can no longer be found.All that is left are countless ruins.

Only some scattered towns and villages outside the circle still maintain more or less their original appearance, surrounding this destroyed land.But the central area of ​​London was completely destroyed.

This is a rare disaster in human history. Millions of people turned into ashes in an instant and disappeared from heaven and earth... Those emergency evacuated government members, various religious organizations, as well as different disaster relief teams, military, Civilians - people stood on the edge of destruction with disgrace and looked at the ruins of the city that had become bare and no longer existed, almost despairing in their hearts.

People can't understand. They don't know why suddenly, in just a few hours, the world they know ceases to exist... The disaster comes so fast that people are not mentally prepared at all.Could it be that God wants to destroy mankind and erase all traces of mankind in this world? What have they done to deserve such disaster and pain?

"Your Majesty Bishop, the army has informed us that we need to continue to evacuate."

A half-hundred-year-old man wearing gorgeous robes was kneeling on the edge of the ruined city, leaning on a staff. He just looked at everything in front of him, with turbid tears streaming down his red eyes.

Several people dressed like priests came forward and persuaded the old man to leave quickly.

"What have we done wrong? Why does God punish us like this...Why is this...why?"

The old man didn't seem to respond at all to the persuasion in his ears. He lowered his head in pain and kept mumbling to himself.

The tragedy in London is unprecedented in hundreds of years.Even a few years ago, when the Kryptonians descended from the sky in their spaceships and invaded Metropolis, one of the largest cities in the United States, they did not cause such complete destruction and destruction.

"Your Majesty Bishop, we really have to evacuate. The nuclear bomb is coming soon. If we don't leave, it will be too late."

A trace of anxiety flashed on the faces of several priests.

"No, I want to stay, I want to die with that monster!"

The Archbishop was silent for a few seconds, then slowly stood up. The gray-white beard on his face seemed to be trembling, but a pair of blue eyes burst out with astonishing determination on his slightly furrowed face.

"How is this possible? Archbishop, didn't you see that even the legendary 'Black Adam' couldn't stop that monster? Why did you waste your life here?"

Several priests looked shocked, and then continued to persuade them earnestly.

At this time, the gorgeous golden scepter in the archbishop's hand began to show a burst of divine brilliance, and gradually began to spread towards the old man's body.

"You guys evacuate, I'm ready."

The eyes of several priests were also red.

This is the Holy See's glorious magic, which can burn life potential and summon the power of angels to come. This is the secret method of the Holy See that can only be mastered by archbishops and above. In the past, this method was used to fight against the most evil ones. The Grand Duke of Vampire, but a mortal body cannot withstand being possessed by the power of an angel. Once the magic is activated, the moment it ends, it will be the death of the caster.

At this moment, there was a faint whistling sound in the ears. The people on the ground looked up and saw faintly high in the sky. A huge brown-gray missile was rushing towards here with a long tail. Come.

"What, the nuclear bomb has arrived?! There are still so many of us who haven't had time to evacuate!"

Not only were the priests showing panic in their eyes, but the troops who were moving to evacuate the crowd were also in an uproar. Several senior generals and government officials had expressions of disbelief on their faces as they watched the missile becoming clearer and clearer in their pupils. ,enlarge.

"Why did the nuclear bomb come so quickly?"

"Are we abandoned..."

The nuclear bomb is not as powerful as the super explosion just now. The most terrifying thing about it is its radioactive power. If this nuclear bomb falls, even if it is far away from the city center, then all the survivors here will be affected. Even if he doesn't die, it's hard to say whether he will be affected by the overwhelming radiation.

Just when everyone was shrouded in endless despair, the archbishop's eyes condensed, and the holy light all over his body became thicker and dazzling. But before he could make any move, he suddenly saw a loud explosion in the sky. , and then in the eyes of everyone, an invisible black shadow high in the sky crossed the sky, hijacked the nuclear missile coming towards them, held it up forcefully, and took it into the clouds. superior.

Then, there was a deafening violent explosion, accompanied by impact airflow, falling from under the sky.

The flash of extreme light even blew away the white clouds, as if half of the sky was dyed golden, making it appear magnificent and majestic for a moment.

Everyone on the ground looked at the scene in front of them in shock.

"It's...Superman!"

I don’t know who started it. There was a restless sound in the crowd, and then it became more and more noisy.

"Yes, it's Superman!"

The eyes of the survivors who were whispering to each other overflowed with indescribable hope and excitement. Yes... in their understanding, the only person in the entire world who could achieve such a miracle in front of them was Superman.

Clark, who was in the sky, also looked at the explosion of the nuclear bomb that he had sent into a low-Earth orbit, with mixed emotions in his eyes.

At this time, he faintly heard the shouts of the people at such a close distance.

Turning back, he looked at the earth. With his superhuman vision, he could clearly see everything he could see from a thousand miles away, including the ruins of destroyed cities, charred trees and forests, lifeless corpses, and people crying in grief. The bereaved, some shouting his name, the cheering survivors... all of this made him clenched his hands tightly, and even the raised veins on the back of his hands were clearly visible.

Such a scene seemed to be happening again in the metropolis. Those miseries and destructions were still vivid in his mind... It was also that day when he decided not to hide himself anymore and chose to fight for humanity and become what people said. A 'god on earth' in order to protect the world.

In silence, Clark said nothing. He continued to look around, using his super vision and super hearing to feel all the movements of the earth and sky, looking for the remaining nuclear warheads that were launched.

And at this moment... on the bare ruins of London, Gaia, who was shrouded in white light, also looked at the direction of the nuclear bomb explosion with her blazing white eyes.
