Chapter 3604: Edge of Tomorrow (Fifty)
But Brainiac had no time to deal with Clark, because the big guy that Clark had pulled over had already rushed into Krypton and started smashing places with energy fluctuations.
Krypton's energy source had never been fully restored, and even the most advanced equipment would need debugging after being stopped for so many years. Brainiac was already gifted to be able to restart the manufacturing line of reconnaissance robots in such a short period of time from the discovery of the enemy to now.
As a result, this assembly line suffered a fatal blow just after it started. Brainiac had to quickly assemble the reconnaissance robots he produced to intercept the big guy.
But reconnaissance robots are used for reconnaissance, not for fighting. If it was just an ordinary machine, it would be fine, but the big guy that Clark pulled over was Aqilo, the first general under Sinestro of the Yellow Lantern Corps. He could be said to be a veteran among the veterans of the Yellow Lantern Corps, and he was quite capable.
Although he looks big and strong, he is very agile and skilled in using the yellow light energy. Although the robot has no fear, simply using the yellow light energy as an energy weapon is enough to defeat the group of soldiers assembled by Brainiac.
What made Brainiac even more worried was that the boss of the Yellow Lantern Corps came over. The Yellow Lanterns couldn't sit idle either, as the Yellow Lanterns' powers were mutually inductive. They sensed the trace of their boss, so they all flew over here.
The little stuff Brainiac created was enough to barely defeat Aqilo, let alone the other Yellow Lanterns. There was no way to intercept them halfway and they could only watch them fly over.
On the other hand, the demon-like army led by Grandma Kindness, one of Darkseid's generals, also discovered that the solar system seemed to be undefended, so they threw aside their reservations and launched a massive attack.
Brainiac originally thought that they were heading for Earth, and that the Justice League would at least do something for the sake of their fellow human beings to help relieve some of the pressure on him.
It turned out that he was overthinking it. The Justice League had no intention of moving at all. The demon army had already flown to the moon, and there was no sign of the Justice League.
Brainiac finally realized that Schiller was right. Rather than worrying about how to deal with the aliens, they would rather see their own people being killed.
Brainiac had no choice but to use the production lines he controlled to produce some robots, which barely blocked the scouts of the demon-like army. But when the main force attacked, he was completely helpless.
Earth and Krypton are both in a state of disarray, with Brainiac facing a lot of lawsuits. Earth's technological development level is too low, and the things it produces are as brittle as paper and cannot be used at all. Although Krypton's development level is high, it was not originally a mechanical civilization and was not suitable for Brainiac's rule. Even after the restart, it could not immediately operate efficiently, and the quality of the things it produced was okay, but the quantity could not be increased.
So why didn't Brainiac run?
This has to do with the technology of Apokolips. Apokolips is not a backward civilization like humans. Their technological level in the universe is the best of the best, and they have even gone beyond technology and reached the level of rules. Just like Darkseid is invincible in his own Apokolips domain.
If we have to make an analogy, if we combine the Skrull Empire and the Kree Empire, two of Marvel's three major empires, and integrate some of the magical qualities of the Shi'ar Empire, and then produce a tyrant who is top-notch in all aspects, it would be almost at the level of Apokolips.
Even the little blue man, the guardian of the universe, did not dare to touch Darkseid's beard easily. There were so many lantern groups, and no one could take care of the affairs of Apokolips.
Besides, they are not working in isolation, and Darkseid's aggression has never stopped. In terms of interstellar warfare, both in theory and practice, they are also the best in the universe.
When the demon-like army entered, they had already blocked the entire solar system. Not only did they block the dimension, making it impossible for spacecraft to jump, they also blocked the electrical signals of the entire solar system, making it impossible for anything to fly out of the solar system.
And because they knew that the opponent was most likely an artificial intelligence, they also encrypted their own network extremely tightly to ensure that Brainiac could not sneak out through the Apocalypse network.
In other words, Brainiac is now trapped in a corner. Whether he wants to escape or take Krypton with him out of the solar system, it is impossible, and running to Apokolips is even more of a waste.
Darkseid is omniscient and omnipotent on Apokolips. He can detect even a tiny bit of a different signal. If Brainiac falls into his hands, he will know what it means to be a scholar meeting a soldier.
He couldn't run away, so he had to fight. But it was obvious that he couldn't win, not to mention Apocalypse, he couldn't even beat the Yellow Lantern Corps. Those equipment didn't have a coating against the Yellow Lantern energy, so they were torn apart in a few seconds. No matter how many came, they were torn apart. Brainiac's defense was meaningless.
On the night when the demon-like army officially invaded the earth, it rained again in Gotham. At this time, countries around the world were already panicking, but it was useless to panic because they had already broken through the atmosphere, and it was too late to make any preparations.
Soon, the Apocalypse spacecraft flew to a distance visible to the naked eye, and a huge shadow swept across the sky over America, adding an unspeakable atmosphere of horror to this rainy night.
When the spaceship arrived, the rain had stopped. The huge spaceship dispersed the rain clouds, and also made humans inevitably face the horror.
The spacecraft was too huge for anyone to see its entirety, but just by looking at the muzzle and the hatch, one could already realize that this was not an enemy that humans could resist.
Schiller stood in front of the window of his office and looked up at the sky. One spaceship stopped over North America, another went to South America, and two went to Asia and Europe. It seemed that they had decided to launch a landing operation.
But it is also true that humans are such a weak civilization that they can't threaten individual soldiers at all. If they want to find something, it would naturally be better for a large army to conduct a carpet search.
As Schiller stared at the sky, a missile with a flame in its tail streaked across the sky, bringing a glimmer of hope to the people who were also looking at the sky. The president's words rang out on the TV:
"Don't panic! Don't panic! We have already launched a nuclear bomb! No matter what the invaders have planned, they will never succeed..."
boom! ! ! ! !
The image was swallowed by a dazzling white light, and when the light went out, nothing was left. The process was indeed very fast, and the person being vaporized felt almost no pain.
The missile hit the spaceship in the sky, but unfortunately it had no effect other than exploding into a ball of fireworks on the spaceship's shield.
More missiles were fired at the spaceship that was like a canopy of the sky. Most of them only left small sparks on the shield, and a small number of them failed to launch and smashed into the ground. For a while, roars and screams were heard continuously.
The funny thing is that before the spacecraft caused much damage to humans, the missiles that failed to launch and the planes that lost balance due to air currents were the first to bring death and destruction.
The huge monster in the sky just stayed there quietly, like a god waiting to execute the final judgment.
Some people kept howling, some knelt down to pray, and some had completely collapsed in despair, hiding in their houses and dared not come out.
Some people also began to call Brainiac. But at this moment, a beam of light appeared on several spaceships at the same time, and a slight sound rang in everyone's ears. If you can look at the earth from space, you will find that the white light covers the whole world.
This is not an EMP. To be precise, it is not a lethal attack weapon. It is just the Apocalypse spacecraft detecting the signal of the Mother Box.
But this completely paralyzed all electronic equipment on Earth.
Regardless of whether it was the Internet or the radio, anything that required electrical signals was shut down. Humanity almost instantly returned to primitive society.
The impact on electronic equipment brought more disasters. Equipment operated by electronic signals began to go out of control, people were disconnected, and deeper fear made people almost crazy.
Obviously, this scanning test was fruitless, and they did not find the complete mother box signal. So they began the real landing.
This time, several continents on Earth welcomed the same rainy season - demons came down like raindrops, carrying Apocalypse's most advanced individual equipment and search equipment, killing all living things in the target area and searching every corner.
People fled in panic, but few demons would specifically chase after panicked humans. Because Darkseid didn't come here to exterminate humans this time, he just came to find something.
To him, there is no difference between earthlings and ants. When you want to find something in an ant nest, even if you don't specifically kill them, you may accidentally crush many ants and completely destroy the structure of the nest, but your original intention is just to find something.
This is Darkseid's attitude towards humans during this period. A marginal, insignificant, weak primitive civilization is not worth his extra effort.
Faced with the raging demon army, Schiller did not move, he just waited.
From the time Barry appeared in front of him and said those words to him, he roughly guessed what the Justice League was going to do.
He stood by the window and waited quietly until the shouts and screams in the night became louder and louder, and the flames shot up into the sky. The spacecraft that had dropped its troops flashed away and completely disappeared from people's sight.
The dispersed dark clouds gathered again, and in an instant there were lightning and thunder, and heavy rain suddenly came. It failed to extinguish the fire in the city, but it covered up more screams and cries.
In such a chaotic and noisy manner, the Gotham Cathedral rang the midnight bell.
1999年8月26日0:00。
The falling rain suddenly stopped.
Then, the water drops in the puddle began to move gradually upwards, faster and faster.
The hour hand goes backwards. 12, 11, 10, 9...
There was a noise like a tape rewinding from the TV, and the sound of the reverse playback was particularly harsh. The annotations on the textbook disappeared line by line. The door opened and closed. The golden light left by the setting sun through the window on the corridor floor began to fall in the other direction, from thick to sharp, stretched into a thin long line, and completely disappeared.
The monsters on the streets began to rise into the air, and the spacecraft left the atmosphere. The signal was restored, and the Brainiac software icon reappeared on people's mobile phones, but soon disappeared again, as if it had never been there.
There was a crackling sound coming from the TV. Schiller turned around and just in time saw a green figure appear on the screen:
"Hello, human, nice to meet you here... Wait! What's going on?!"
Schiller smiled and said softly, "Hello, Brainiac."
