Chapter 145 Mother Box Changes
“First of all, about why the Transcendent didn’t come with me.
He likes to be alone and doesn't like this kind of situation. "
Clark muttered. David had only appeared in public a few times, and much later than him, but his popularity seemed to be no less than his. People were even more curious and interested in the mysterious David.
He then smiled and answered their questions one by one to the reporters who were looking forward to him giving big news.
"My suit is the technology of my home planet. To be honest, I don't know much about it."
"Home planet?"
A reporter grabbed the keyword and asked excitedly.
"Superman, are you admitting that you are an alien?
What about the transcendent? "
The idea that Superman is an alien has basically become a consensus after the Zod attack on Metropolis, but it is still different to hear the person personally admit it.
"good.
It is true that I was not born on this planet, but the Transcendent is different from me in that he is not an alien. "
Clark replied.
He had a sunny smile on his face and answered all questions.
In fact, the purpose of his appearance here today is exactly this, to answer the public's questions about him and David.
"Who is the Transcendent? Is he from a big city?
Oh my god, would I have ever passed him by accident on the street! "
Below, there were citizens who were ardent fans of the Transcendence. They were so excited that they screamed loudly.
Clark pretended not to hear and could not give an answer. Where did he and David come from? This was too involved in the real identities of the two people.
"The metropolis is big or small, and it's not difficult to find a family based on certain conditions."
Clark continued.
“About what purpose I came to earth for.
I can only tell you that my parents launched me to the earth for the purpose of escaping natural disasters, when I was still in my cradle.
I grew up on this planet, breathing the same air as you. "
He stared at the people in the audience seriously, and his identity as an alien brought him a lot of hostility and defensiveness.
"What you see is my true appearance, I am not much different from you.
I will try my best to use my abilities to help others. When they are in crisis and unable to do anything, I hope that my presence can bring them a ray of light. "
Finally, he finished what he had been wanting to say for a while, and took a deep breath, with a hint of cunning in his eyes.
"About when the Transcendent and I met.
All I can say is that, earlier than you might think, we grew up together. "
He used a little verbal trick to give the impression that he and David were childhood friends, but he didn't lie either, it's just that the relationship was much closer than that.
"Growing up together.
Two gifted kids?
Transcendents must have been lonely when they were young. Did you make friendships because of the same specialness and loneliness? ! "
Clark answered some questions, but people's curiosity never ends, and people generated more questions. Microphones came to him one after another, which made him a little overwhelmed. He saw a beautiful and heroic woman in the crowd. The reporter looked slightly embarrassed, being pushed around by the crowd.
At this time, the reputation of a famous reporter cannot make colleagues become humble when facing big news.
"last question.
Just ask this lady to answer. "
Pressing her hands down to signal the reporters to be quiet, Clark reached out and pointed at her with a smile.
Lois Lane squeezed away the two people next to her. She opened her mouth to ask, but suddenly found that the important question she wanted to ask had already been asked by her colleagues. She stared at Clark's face, observed it twice and asked.
"Superman?
I don't think anyone else has asked this question yet.
Have you ever felt powerless while trying to save the world? "
Clark's smile faltered and he fell into silence, looking at the bright sun that gave him strength.
"When I was a child, I always hid my abilities and was afraid of hurting others. The world was as fragile as a bubble to me, and I even feared my own power because of it.
But many powerful enemies from the universe that are malicious to the earth and mankind have made me realize that my strength is still insufficient. "
He recalled the scene where David and Brainiac fought and finally defeated Brainiac, his voice was serious with a hint of determination.
"But I will work hard to become stronger and use this power to protect you.
Hopefully the next time a powerful enemy from the stars comes, I will be stronger and ready.
I hope that when the Transcendents face powerful enemies, I will no longer be able to just watch from the sidelines. "
…
"What are you calling me for?"
In Paradise Island, David flew back to the island, and as soon as he landed in the palace, an anxious Hippolyta came up with Diana.
Before he left Paradise Island last time, he left his mobile phone behind. Hippolyta was somewhat resistant to new technologies, but now she asked her daughter to use her mobile phone to contact him.
"As the former Queen of the Amazons, it's probably not a small thing for me to ask for help."
As for what it was, David's eyes flashed with suspicion.
He already had some predictions.
What could cause Atlantis and Paradise Island to call him at the same time?
“One thing left by the gods on Paradise Island has changed.
It was an item that once came from an enemy beyond the sky. "
Hippolyta quickly led David to a fortress on the cliff of Paradise Island that was usually designated as a restricted area. While telling David, she hoped that the usually frivolous Amazon King would realize the seriousness of the matter.
Diana followed, and she only revealed some of these things to her mother after she noticed something strange about the item.
"As expected, it's the mother box that's moving..."
David's eyes moved, indicating that he was listening.
Only the extraterrestrial invaders, which were barely repelled by combining all the forces of the earth, could make this queen feel like she is facing a formidable enemy.
“Millions of years ago, a group of extraterrestrial enemies invaded and wanted to destroy the world.
The gods teamed up with the Amazons, Atlanteans and the Lanterns of the universe to defeat the enemies.
The weapons that the enemies wanted to use to destroy the world were captured by the gods. "
Buzz!
As Hippolyta narrated, they came inside the fortress made of huge rocks. On the stone platform in the center, there was a box made of steel. It kept buzzing and vibrating, as if it was connected to something.
"There are three identical parts to this weapon."
Along the way, the Amazons guarding them bowed their heads to David. After David waved them to get up, he looked at the box.
The box made of molten iron has been shaken out of cracks, and light like white lightning leaks out of it. The mother box from the fourth world Apokolips inside is shaking restlessly, communicating with their former owner.
Through the gap, David stared at the dark silver mother box.
The ability to manipulate energy allowed him to clearly feel how terrifying the energy contained in the box, which was only a few dozen centimeters in size, gave him a faint sense of danger.
"If the combined energy of the three Mother Boxes explodes and destroys the planet, it will probably only take an instant!"
Even he was not sure he could survive such terrifying energy.
“Three boxes were given to us Amazons, humans and Atlanteans by the gods to keep.
I don't know why it suddenly woke up.
But the other two mother boxes may also be moving. I wonder if humans and Amazons have noticed it. "
Looking at the box, Hippolyta was worried.
She had personally participated in that battle and knew the terror of that group of extraterrestrial enemies. According to Zeus, the once young leader of the invaders had become a dark monarch that made countless worlds and even the universe kneel down and tremble.
If the mother box had not been lost and the recorded cosmic coordinates were not lost, the earth might have been destroyed long ago.
I still remember when Zeus talked about the leader of the alien enemy who was almost killed by Ares, his eyes showed fear and even fear.
"Atlantis is just like you, even though it has been passed down for countless years, their history has never been cut off.
They have discovered the abnormality of the Mother Box and are deeply disturbed. "
David looked at the lantern ring and answered.
"how do you know?"
Diana wondered.
"Because not long after I became the Queen of the Amazons, I became the King of Atlantis."
His simple and clear answer made the mother and daughter look at each other in shock, wondering if they heard something wrong.
Ignoring the two confused people, David reached out and touched the mother box.
He wanted to see if he could absorb the energy of the Mother Box, so that the Mother Box would no longer be a threat and stop the possibility of the Dark Lord setting his sights on the Earth.
"careful!"
Hippolyta's expression changed greatly, and she stretched out her hand to stop him.
Didn't she already say that this was part of a terrifying weapon that could destroy the world? How could this guy be so casual?
“It is in a state of unstable activity.
Your touch may provoke it to attack. "
But the next second, a shocking scene happened.
David stroked the mother box, and like a frightened rabbit, the mother box suddenly stopped shaking and pretended to be a dead object, and the light on the surface also dissipated.
"It's been shaking for a day, this..."
Hippolyta was in a daze, looking between David and the Mother Box.
"What's wrong with it?"
She had a feeling that the Mother Box was always afraid of the man in front of her.
Apokolips's most high-tech mother box concentrated all its energy. David absorbed nothing and retracted his palm in disappointment.
"I'm afraid this mother box itself has quite a lot of intelligence."
I remember in the original plot, after the Mother Box woke up and discovered Clark's existence, it remained hidden until the Doomsday created by Clark and Luther died together, and then it contacted Apokolips and allowed Steppenwolf to come.
But it doesn't know that its original owner, Darkseid, is no longer what he used to be. He has grown up from a childhood equivalent to eight years old over millions of years, and has acquired the Omega Effect, and his power has skyrocketed. Following the destiny, Locus has become the dark tyrant that dominates the universe.
"It's no longer vibrating. Does that mean things have calmed down?"
After being shocked, Hippolyta frowned.
"not that simple."
David shook his head.
"It's just that this place has been marked by it as an unsuitable place to come."
Although the three mother boxes can explode with the strongest power when they are integrated into one, they also have all kinds of incredible energy when separated, such as opening a sonic blast channel across the universe, allowing the Apocalypse army to continuously descend on the earth.
There are three mother boxes, which means there are three locations to choose from.
"The Mother Box originally went silent after waking up, instead of moving like this. This shows that it has begun to contact Apokolips and summon the army to come.
Everything is different from before? "
David frowned.
"Arrival?
Are those extraterrestrial enemies going to invade this world again? "
Diana frowned, a hint of fighting spirit rising in her eyes.
Paradise Island is also part of the world. She once left Paradise Island. Although the country she went to seemed to be in the midst of division and war, she also saw many things in the human world worth protecting.
Such as those poor innocent children.
Hippolyta was not as optimistic as her daughter, and her brows were furrowed.
"The world may be facing destruction."
Even if the gods are still there, can the combined forces of all parties be able to defeat the enemies outside the world again?
I'm afraid not.
What's more, now is the time when the gods have gone away.
She shook her head and looked up at David.
If David is really the King of Atlantis, and listening to what he said when he came back last time, he has had "contact" with the Green Lantern Corps, he seems to be the best candidate to unite all forces in the world today, but she is not optimistic about David. Wei Neng surpassed Zeus and led the power of the earth to repel the Dark Lord who became ten thousand times more terrifying.
"I want to take this box with me.
It has become a source of trouble, and it is not a good thing to stay on Paradise Island. "
After thinking about it, David controlled gravity to grab the mother box from the air.
Although the Amazons are strong, they are still far behind Darkseid's army of demonoids from Apokolips.
In the original plot, not long after Steppenwolf led the demon-like army, he killed the Amazons to pieces, which is the best proof.
Although he made the Mother Box fearful, he can't stay here. Who knows whether the Mother Box will start contacting the Apokolips army again after he leaves.
"Where are you going with it?"
Although it was something that the gods had entrusted to protect, now that the king of the Amazons had changed, she had no right to make a decision. Hippolyta just asked.
"It seems a little afraid of you.
If you find three boxes and keep them by your side, will they never contact Tianwai again? "
As she walked outside, Diana thought this was a solution.
Walking out of the fortress built on the sea cliff, the waves were beating against the dark sea cliff. David smelled the water vapor in the air mixed with the fishy smell of the sea, looked at the gloomy and cloudy sky in the distance, and felt that a storm was coming, shaking his head. He shook his head and said nothing more.
"Why did this box suddenly become like this after millions of years without any movement?" A dark cloud hung over Hippolyta's brow.
David knew why the Mother Box was acting strangely.
In the original plot, because Clark appeared in the public eye, governments around the world began to pay attention to something related to aliens. An item accidentally seized from World War II and judged to be related to aliens was dug out and handed over to Cyborg. of father research.
That thing was the Mother Box. After Cyborg had a car accident after playing a football game, Cyborg's father bombarded the Mother Box with energy rays in order to keep his son alive, thus activating the Mother Box and the gears of fate began to turn.
Him showing up with Clark doesn't change that.
But what David doesn't understand is that Clark is not dead now. Although he is not as powerful as in the original timeline, he has an additional version of himself that is not weaker than Clark at that time or even stronger. Why did the Mother Box start to contact Apokolips?
"Did I change something that caused all of this?"
