Chapter 794: Explosion Conspiracy and the Target of Public Criticism
At this time, Clark felt confused. He didn't think there was something wrong with his body. He thought he might be trapped in a certain illusion.
After all, in Clark's cognition, his body was strong enough and there shouldn't be any defects. On the contrary, although he had developed the corresponding abilities in his mind, it was far from being as strong as his body. It was possible that he was trapped in an illusion.
Moreover, although Clark in this universe experienced the invasion of the earth by the Kryptonians, Clark did not breathe the air belonging to the Kryptonian environment in the Kryptonian spacecraft. Therefore, Clark had never experienced the feeling of losing extraordinary power. He was particularly unfamiliar with this feeling...
It's just that Clark felt that he was trapped in a certain illusion, but outsiders didn't know Clark's situation. They only saw Clark looking around, his eyes suddenly turned red, and his body trembled slightly...
At this moment, Clark didn't look like a god on earth covered by light in the eyes of others. He was more like a demon whose power was about to get out of control!
"Boom!" Just when outsiders saw that Clark's body was abnormal, an explosion swept the entire Capitol directly, and the flames directly engulfed the Capitol. Without even giving anyone time to react, the Capitol was reduced to ruins!
No one saw how the explosion happened, but this did not prevent people from making associations...
After all, before the explosion, all the live broadcasts saw Clark's abnormality, so those who originally hated Clark began to frantically set the pace, once again attacking and smearing Clark in public opinion!
Even those who originally stood on Clark's side didn't know how to defend Clark, because they didn't know what happened before the explosion, and Clark's appearance before was indeed something many people had never seen before...
"You are really alert, Superman. Fortunately, I have made two preparations. Not only have I placed enough bombs here, but I have also buried kryptonite where you are standing. Even if you discover the abnormality in advance and prepare to stop the bomb, you will be turned into an ordinary person by kryptonite. If you can be killed on the spot, it would be great!" At the same time, in the underground base of a building, Lex Luthor raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and said with a crazy look in his eyes.
"Originally this was just my first step. If you died directly, I wouldn't need to carry out my subsequent plans... No, there's still the Saiyan guy. The subsequent plans still have to go on, but after you die, the difficulty of the plan will definitely be reduced a lot!"
"Aren't you praised as the god of the world by many people? Otherwise, can you satisfy my little wish and die once?"
The more Lex Luthor spoke, the crazier he became. He stood up and stared at the screen in front of him. As the mastermind behind the plan against Clark this time, Lex Luthor spent a lot of effort. He couldn't wait to see his results...
The screen of Lex Luthor was obviously not the same as the previous live broadcast. He could see more about the Capitol, and even some robots were under Lex Luthor's control. Explore the ruins of the Capitol.
"Crack!" At this time, a stone slab of the Capitol broke, and a figure soared into the sky. This figure was not someone else, but Clark, who looked a little embarrassed and confused.
"Shit! Why aren't you dead? Why don't you die?!" When seeing the image of Clark on the screen, Lex Luthor started to curse. It can be seen that his emotions fluctuated greatly, and he really wanted to kill Clark before.
"Huh!" But soon, Lex Luthor adjusted his mentality, and he calmed down, staring at Clark on the screen and fell into deep thought.
"It can be seen that Superman is not safe and sound. At least this is the most embarrassing time for Superman in the data I have kept..." Lex Luthor retrieved one video data after another and began to analyze it. "Moreover, Clark's performance in the Capitol before also shows that he was indeed affected by kryptonite, which is consistent with my experimental results!"
"If Superman was not affected by kryptonite, at the moment of the explosion, with Superman's speed and ability, not to mention saving everyone, but he could at least take the bomb away from the Capitol and prevent the explosion from affecting others. Others..."
"But Superman was unable to stop the explosion. His shaking body and red eyes proved that he was out of control. This shows that kryptonite is definitely effective. So why didn't Superman die in the explosion?"
"After being weakened by kryptonite, Superman should be no different from ordinary people. He definitely couldn't withstand such a terrible explosion. So what made him survive? Slow down, slow down a little more..."
Lex Luthor's eyes flickered slightly. He suddenly thought of something and began to slow down the scene of Clark rushing out from under the stone slab.
It only took a few seconds from the time Clark burst out from under the stone slab to flying into the sky. However, after Lex Luthor slowed down and repaired the picture countless times, Clark's image was filled in through the computer. The frame later revealed itself in front of Lex Luthor.
"Sure enough!" Lex Luthor's eyes lit up and he shouted excitedly.
It turned out that when Clark just broke through the stone slab, Clark had many wounds on his body. These wounds were not completely healed until Clark flew high into the sky.
After discovering this, Lex Luthor quickly realized something, quickly calculated, and soon he got the result he wanted...
"Yes, when Superman just escaped, his power was far less powerful than what I recorded before. He didn't even completely smash the stone..." Lex Luthor muttered to himself, and then He frowned again.
"This means that kryptonite does have an effect on Superman and can weaken Superman into an ordinary person. But the problem is that if the kryptonite is destroyed, Superman will quickly recover without the suppression of kryptonite... "
"Before the explosion, Superman was weakened by the power of kryptonite and almost died in the explosion. However, the explosion also shattered the kryptonite. After losing the kryptonite, Superman's abilities recovered. In this way, Naturally, there is no way to kill him completely with an explosion... What a pity!"
"Come to think of it, Batman should have also observed this incident, right? It's hard for me to send him any more messages, otherwise my identity will be easily exposed in advance. I just hope that he can learn a lesson, but I There are also killer moves specially prepared for him, and Batman’s side is just foreplay!”
"Wait, Superman! Wait, Saiyan! Your surprise has just begun!"
Here Lex Luthor figured out Clark's previous experience, but Clark on the other side didn't understand what he had experienced at all. It wasn't until the explosion appeared and death came that Clark realized that everything he experienced was not an illusion. But what really happened...
That was the first time in Clark's life that he felt so weak, even weaker than he remembered when he was a child and had no ability to awaken.
That was also an extremely rare moment when Clark felt real fear, because death really came to him!
Clark thought a lot at that moment, including the guilt of not being able to stop the explosion and saving everyone around him, the fear of death, the reluctance to give up on life, and the attachment to family and friends...
It wasn't until the pain was transmitted to Clark's body, making him almost comatose, that he felt the power return to his body again. Clark's recovery speed was not as fast as when he lost it, but he also did not slowly accumulate strength from scratch. , he quickly regained control of his body and escaped from the edge of death...
But even after walking on the edge of life and death, Clark didn't understand why he suddenly lost his power. And while Clark was thinking about it in mid-air, a series of mechas and various fighter planes flew in Clark's direction. .
"Superman! Hurry up and put down your weapons and surrender! We will arrest you in accordance with the law!" The strong voice of the military came from the fighter plane, because the impact this time was too great and too bad, so bad that it broke the surface. balance.
After all, those killed by Clark before were ordinary people in South Asia, but this time, those killed this time were many high-level officials in the Capitol, including many military and political bosses and elites.
The most important thing is that this incident was broadcast live around the world. If America's officials don't take some measures, the impact of this incident will only become worse!
Therefore, even if they knew that Clark had the power to flip the table and destroy the earth, America officials still had to bite the bullet and take action. The soldiers driving the fighter planes now looked very nervous, and even the previous The words also seemed a bit lacking in confidence...
"Are you kidding? This explosion was not caused by Superman. Why do you want to arrest him?" A flash of fire appeared next to Clark. Johnny Stone rushed over first and said in a deep voice in the direction of the fighters.
"You arranged the time and place, and you prepared the live broadcast. What chance does Superman have of committing a crime? I think it's more like you planted a bomb in the Capitol Building and deliberately framed Superman!"
"We arranged it? Do you know that the military lost a lieutenant general in this explosion? Do you know how many official personnel were killed this time?" Hearing Johnny Stone's question, the SHIELD fighter pilot Later, Nick Fury appeared in the fighter plane in person and asked Johnny Stone and Clark one after another.
"Superman, you are indeed above ordinary people, but this is no reason for you to ignore life! Let's take a step back and say, even if you did not cause this explosion, then why didn't you save even one person? What about people? With your power as a human god, isn’t saving people the best thing you can do? Or do you mean you don’t want to save them at all?”
It has to be said that Nick Fury is much better at playing with public opinion than those in the military. His voice echoed around the ruins of the Capitol, making most of the onlookers nod in agreement.
Because Clark had done it so perfectly before, before the Darkness Falls, as long as Clark took action, there was almost no one that Clark could not save, whether it was the victims trapped in the forest fire or the bombing planned by the terrorist gang, Clark could solve it perfectly...
But this time, Clark did not save anyone, and even he himself waited until the explosion was over before flying out. This must be a huge gap from the image Clark had shown before, which made people question it.
It can be said that although Clark is a god on the altar, if he can be pulled off the altar and stepped on, many people are also willing to do it.
Many people have even begun to believe that what Clark showed before was just a false personality. Clark disguised himself as a god on earth in order to complete some unspeakable secrets. Until now, Clark has revealed his true face!
"Anyway, this matter is an extraordinary event, and it should be the responsibility of our Avengers. Moreover, you don't have the ability to imprison Superman..." Just when Nick Fury had just led the rhythm of public opinion, Steve came to Clark in a mecha and said in the direction of Nick Fury's fighter.
"We will take Superman back and lock him up. We can guarantee that Superman will not appear in front of the world again before the truth of the matter is investigated. Can you make this guarantee? Can you be sure that you will not have further conflicts with Superman?"
"That's our business. If Mr. Superman is really innocent, then we will naturally release Mr. Superman and clear his name!" Nick Fury said firmly when he heard Steve's words.
Nick Fury didn't know who arranged this incident, but in Nick Fury's view, this is definitely an opportunity, a great opportunity to contact Superman!
Even though the Skrulls who came to Earth this time are ordinary Skrulls and cannot copy Clark's abilities, if they can collect some genes related to Clark, it will also be of great help to them.
After all, Clark is completely different from ordinary Kryptonians. There must be greater secrets in Clark's genes. Even a strand of Clark's hair is definitely more valuable than the Kryptonian genes provided by Les Crusher before! How could Nick Fury be willing to miss this opportunity? (End of this chapter)
