Chapter 158: Hell on Earth: Metropolis (4k4)

Metropolis United Bank.

A man wearing a cool red and black windbreaker was leaning on the waiting sofa in the bank, with a simple and unique yellow mask on his face. His fingers were leisurely tapping time. It didn't look like robbing a bank, but more like being at the station with the cool sea breeze blowing. People waiting for the bus.

He didn't have any weapons, but he successfully robbed a bank surrounded by armed security personnel, and no one even fired a shot to resist.

The security personnel, tellers and customers were trembling like quails and squatted on the other side. Facing the man, they seemed to be looking at some kind of monster. Fear was like a whirlwind that invaded their bodies and minds and blew away their courage to resist.

"Superman!"

Hear cheers outside.

"You're finally here, Superman."

The man raised a smile, adjusted his clothes, stood up gracefully, and his voice echoed out of the bank.

"I've been waiting for you for a long time."

"People in Metropolis say never commit some blatant crime. When you cause people to scream, Superman may come and throw you into jail in the next second. This sentence is indeed true."

He clapped his hands, as if appreciating what Clark had done.

"Who are you?"

Clark flew into the bank and first glanced at the hostages in the bank to confirm that no one was injured. He stared at the man.

This is not the first time that chaos and cases have been purposely used to lure him out.

The result last time was not great.

Clark glanced at the green lantern ring in his hand.

"After that incident, people have noticed my weaknesses, but if it is something related to meteorites, I will never be as embarrassed as last time."

"Introduce yourself, you can call me the psychic pirate."

The man said with a smile. Clark frowned and thought for a moment, but was not impressed by the nickname. He waved his hand as if he didn't care.

“It doesn’t matter if you haven’t heard of it.

I am just a nobody for now, and of course I can’t compare with you. You are a famous superman in the world. "

"anyway……"

The strange ancient mask exuded a hazy orange halo. He seemed to be looking at something, touched his chin, looked at Clark, and joked.

"I'm sorry, Clark Kent, but that name doesn't sound super at all."

"I do not know what you're talking about."

Clark's expression changed drastically when he heard his name from a stranger's mouth.

He clenched his fists and nervously glanced at everyone in the bank.

He couldn't imagine how much trouble this matter would cause if it got out. The US military and even the world have been trying to dig out his true identity.

Following the name Clark Kent, it is very likely that he will find his parents. Their peaceful life will be destroyed, and David will definitely kill him.

"Don't worry, they didn't hear it."

The psychic pirate pointed at his head.

"I'm talking to you with this."

"You actually grew up on a farm in a rural town?

This is even less super! "

He looked like a disappointed person after getting up close to a famous person and finding out that he was not worthy of his name.

"Were you a nerd in school? You liked the school's pretty cheerleader. How cliché."

As if watching scenes of a cheesy TV series, the psychic pirate shook his head and expressed his opinion.

"It's the heart!"

Clark took a step back and realized something. The other party was looking through the memories in his mind, but the damn thing was that he didn't know how to resist the other party's mental probing.

He can flatten mountains with his fists, withstand the vacuum of space and the harsh environment of the extremely cold Arctic, and cut steel with his heat vision, but he has no psychic powers.

"Lamp ring."

Thinking of the light ring with various abilities, Clark quickly activated the light ring. He was wrapped in a green suit, emitting green light to protect against all external forces. He jumped towards the psychic pirate at high speed, grabbing him with his big hands, wanting to kill him immediately. uniform.

Clark felt a little uneasy as his own weakness seemed to be the opponent's strength.

But he missed the opportunity, and the body of steel passed directly through the illusory figure of the psychic pirate.

"This ring creates a mental shield for you? Interesting."

"Could it be the same ancient treasure as my Medusa mask?"

The psychic pirate's unknown figure appeared again, looking at the green lantern ring in Clark's hand with interest.

"Superman, you are powerful and mysterious. The world actually knows very little about you. You have many secrets, but to me, the psychic pirate, your heart and spirit are a haven for me to invade."

He was originally one of the most powerful psychics in the world. After awakening his ability, he became deeply fascinated and curious about mythical things. In a museum, he found a Medusa mask that could increase his spiritual power and control other people's emotions.

Now his spiritual power has risen to an unparalleled level.

To him, the psychic protection ability of the light ring was like a fragile plastic film that could be torn apart easily. He continued to peer into Clark's brain, into his life and secrets.

"found it.

Weapons of alien legions? Selected by accident? "

Surprise could not help but appear on the psychic pirate's face.

“Your life story is truly legendary.

But what surprises me most is that the Transcendent is actually your brother? His name is David Kent? "

"enough!"

All the secrets that he tried hard to hide were revealed by the person in front of him. Clark punched angrily and struck again, but suddenly an orange-yellow mental energy python appeared in the void and flicked its tail suddenly, as if it had been hit by a large truck. He was whipped out.

"Taste the power of the mind!"

The psychic pirate laughed.

"Psychic power can do more than just read your thoughts and peek into your memories."

Several energy pythons with fangs emerged from his helmet-like mask, and they opened their bloody mouths to bite them.

Avoiding the bites of several of them, Clark reached out and grabbed the two pythons that were attacking his face, as if he was grabbing two giant pythons in the world. The force of their twisting made him feel slightly strenuous, and the two sides struggled against each other. During this time, the ground beneath his feet was trampled to pieces.

"You're stronger than I thought, Superman."

However, the psychic pirate was even more surprised. The veins on his forehead were stretched and his face was gloomy. Even though his spiritual power was pushed to the extreme, he could not overpower Superman.

"When I found this legendary mask and put it on, my power was heightened to an incredible level, and I was unable to defeat you head-on."

"But it doesn't matter. The power of the mind shouldn't be used so roughly."

"What is your purpose!"

A bad premonition suddenly occurred in his heart, Clark shouted, his heat vision cut through the energy entity in front of him, and the attack penetrated the psychic pirate and also shot through the wall behind him.

"you you!"

The psychic pirate had a look of disbelief on his face. He clutched his heart, which was bleeding like a gush of blood, and fell down without breathing. Clark stared slightly in shock. He obviously deliberately avoided the vital point, so why did he miss the shot?

“Seeing is not necessarily believing.”

Looking at Clark's dazed expression, the psychic pirate reappeared in the air. He was suspended in mid-air. The mental python emerging from the orange mask opened its teeth and claws. It was extremely terrifying. He was like an evil god from another dimension who likes to play with people's hearts. scoffed.

"Clark, it seems you didn't learn the lesson just now."

"Don't call me that name."

Listening to this nasty guy calling his unknown name in a tone that was very familiar to him, Clark was deeply angry. His super vision was used to the extreme, and he could even see human cells, nerves, and brains. radio waves, and electromagnetic waves in the air.

He punched up and missed again. The violent wind created by his fist swept through the entire bank hall, causing the hostages to scream.

The hostages whose minds had been invaded by psychic pirates had not even thought of escaping until this moment.

"Are you dumber than I thought, or is your anger getting the better of you?"

The psychic pirates reappeared, leaving Clark feeling powerless.

He clearly saw someone there, his heart was beating, and his nerve signals were being transmitted between neurons, but he was still deceived and teased again.

"By the way, where were we talking about just now?

What is my purpose? "

The strong wind blew up his windbreaker, and the psychic pirate spread his hands in the air. He had just played with Superman and was applauded. He showed strong confidence, as if he had taken control of the situation, and talked about his purpose with a smile.

"I have a great plan.

Liberate all the people in this city and free them from the mental prison that society has forced them to build since birth! "

While he was talking, Clark did not listen stupidly. He kept trying to attack the psychic pirates, but to no avail.

"They will act as they please, driven by pure emotion, freeing their tethered spirits!"

"Do you think I will believe it?"

All citizens releasing their emotions as they please will definitely bring chaos to the city, but Clark does not believe that the purpose of the psychic pirates is this. What good can he gain from this, and another punch failed.

On the physical level, he was like a god on earth, but he felt impatient and powerless.

No matter how powerful a person is, how can he hit something that is invisible and intangible.

“Such a grand plan will be undermined by many people.

I need bodyguards until the plan is completed! "

The plan of the psychic pirate is more than that. After the crazy indulgence of spirit and soul, weakness will follow. That is the best time for him to put a spiritual stamp on the people of this city, and all the people in this city will become his. servant.

"That bodyguard is you.

Oh, and your brother, David Kent. "

There was a morbid excitement on his face, as if just thinking about that image made him tremble with excitement.

"Two of the most powerful superheroes on Earth protected me and completed the baptism of this city.

Then it’s on to the next city, until the arrival of the new world I expect! "

"You crazy person!"

Clark gritted his teeth and shouted angrily, raised his fist and flew away.

He does not have the ability to read minds, but he can see the crazy ambition in the eyes of the person in front of him that seems to trample the entire world under his feet!

For the sake of this city, I can no longer show mercy.

"about there.

I'm not in the mood to play with you anymore. "

Pressing his fingers on his temples, the psychic pirate did not intend to continue, with an evil smile on his lips.

The invasion of psychic power as powerful as the tide.

Clark blinked, his spirit appeared in the night sky, and he looked at his hands in confusion.

"By the way, where is this?

What am I going to do? "

On the roof of a building in the metropolis, he stood in the wind, his thoughts a little messy, as if he had just had a long dream.

"Now that I think about it, I originally planned to do nothing and just enjoy the night breeze here quietly for a while."

He seemed to remember something, closed his eyes and enjoyed it, without thinking about anything. The cool night breeze blew gently on his skin, as if it could blow away all his worries.

"Why is Superman not moving?"

"what happened?"

In reality, through the bank glass, Superman, who seemed to be fighting an invisible enemy, suddenly stood still and closed his eyes. The police officers looked at each other in shock, not knowing what was going on.

Suddenly, a powerful spiritual energy swept across several blocks and spread outwards in the blink of an eye.

"The first step in the new world has begun!"

In the bank, the psychic pirate was floating in mid-air, his windbreaker rustling automatically without the wind. The mask on his head emitted a strong orange misty light, forming a halo behind his head. He seemed to be a man who controlled the mind. gods.

Wherever the wave of his spiritual energy goes.

The emotions and souls that have been accumulated for a long time in everyone's heart are all ignited and released, and the madness is released at all costs!

"You son of a bitch, old Colin, I remember when I first joined the police station, you often sent me to buy coffee and run errands for you. I want you to be confined to a wheelchair in the future!"

Outside the bank, the nearest police officers had different expressions. One of them with a ferocious face actually drew a gun and shot his partner!

"No, I don't want to be a police officer anymore. Police officers are too dangerous. I want to get out of here."

"I killed you, Anderson, I was supposed to be the captain!"

The crowd suddenly fell into chaos, and many police officers drew their guns and shot at each other. Under the high-risk and high-pressure life, what was once a little dissatisfaction in the heart turned into a monstrous murderous intention that overwhelmed reason.

"I haven't tried what it feels like to kill someone!" "Keris, your legs are so long!"

Some police officers, who were known as gentlemen among their colleagues, were so lustful that they pounced on their female colleagues.

In several blocks, people were also in chaos, fighting each other with fists and kicks, beating, smashing, looting, and burning. All kinds of violence, viciousness, and despicable human emotions were unleashed.

"Jemory, wait for me!"

Some people are so angry that they bring a shotgun and prepare to drive to the company to kill their boss who does nothing but deduct bonuses.

Some people beat up their husbands, wives and even children, and some people use axes to smash everything they see in the streets, hoping to take revenge on this cold and high-pressure society!

Accompanied by cries, screams, sounds of breaking glass and gunshots... chaotic and out-of-control flames spread from several blocks to the entire city!

"Guys, there's been an unknown attack on Metropolis!"

In the Justice League hall, Cyborg, who had been paying attention to online information, suddenly jumped up from his chair, projecting a chaotic scene of the metropolis like a hell on earth under the camera. Millions of lunatics were doing whatever they wanted in the city, venting their violence violently. mood.

"What...what's going on?"

Seeing the weird and horrifying scenes in the city, the Flash also stood up suddenly, dumbfounded.

“Are you kidding, what’s wrong with everyone?

If God is real, is it possible... is it possible that a devil has come to the world now? ! "

Batman's face changed, and his eyes were also in disbelief.

Click!

A length of wood was effortlessly split in half.

Back in the town, David had just helped chop a pile of firewood on his family's farm. Holding the ax, he straightened up and looked toward the city.

Several thick billows of black smoke came out of the building. The steel was burned into molten iron and shot straight into the sky. The fire illuminated half of the sky, as if a war had broken out in the city.

"This is……"

An abnormal and terrifying sight, his eyes froze, what happened to Metropolis?

David quickly used his gravity sensor to check the situation remotely.

“People in the metropolis are actually killing each other and venting violence like crazy?

Not only the metropolis, but also the surrounding small towns, even the towns were in chaos. "

Who is doing this?

His expression turned gloomy.

Snapped!

Suddenly, there was a crisp sound of dishes falling to the floor. David's eyes widened, his body turned into lightning, and he hurriedly ran into the house.

When I entered the house, I saw that my parents were okay.

Only the mother, Martha, stood by the sink, seemingly frightened by the sudden situation.

"Mom, what's wrong with you?"

David took a step forward and asked with concern.
