Chapter 256 The Wonders of Swampfire
Before the crowd could press for the true identity of the Child of Tomorrow, they noticed many black dots the size of sesame seeds jumping out of the Mothership, heading towards them at a constant speed.
Those black dots were very fast, and in the blink of an eye, they flew into the crowd's visible range. The crowd discovered that those black dots were dozens of humans wearing battle suits identical to the standard issue of the Children of Tomorrow from Earth-42.
"Lay down your weapons and surrender." The man at the head floated in mid-air and spoke. "The great Brainiac wants the device on your wrist, hand it over quickly."
These words were clearly directed at Yang Le. After all, Brainiac wouldn't have come all the way just for Spider-Man's web-shooters.
But putting aside the fact that Yang Le would never give it to him, he really disliked the attitude of this Child of Tomorrow in front of him.
Yang Le simply replied to him indifferently: "Scram!"
"Communication failed, prepare for combat!" The Child of Tomorrow did not reveal any extra emotions. In his opinion, doing more is better than saying more, and verbal disputes are far less useful than a shot.
"You call that just now 'communication'?" 616B Peter expressed his shock.
"To put it bluntly, we still have to fight." Spider-Ham struck a boxing pose, shaking his head. "Come on, let these foul-mouthed brats see how powerful we are."
The Spiders immediately adopted a fighting stance, preparing to have a showdown with the Children of Tomorrow, but were stopped by Yang Le.
"You guys go evacuate the crowd, I'll deal with these guys."
"Dude, are you planning to take on these guys alone?" Spider-Ham rolled his eyes.
"These guys are not ordinary goods, that defeated Child of Tomorrow lying on the ground isn't even worthy to carry their shoes." Yang Le continued without turning his head. "And these guys don't care about the lives of civilians, that's why you need to protect the civilians."
"Okay, you're the boss, your call." Spider-Ham shrugged helplessly, turned around and shot web, swinging towards the crowd.
The other Spider-Men also subtly understood what Yang Le meant, knowing that their strength might not be enough to participate in the upcoming battle, and without hesitation, they turned and left.
"Be careful." Gwen reminded him before turning to leave.
The Children of Tomorrow would not simply let the Spiders leave like this, especially Gwen. The leading Child of Tomorrow saw that her relationship with Yang Le must be unusual, so he raised his arm armor and an energy beam suddenly shot out from it, heading straight for Gwen.
Eliminating people closely related to the enemy can cause the enemy's emotions to get out of control, and their thought to become chaotic, thereby reducing the opponent's combat power. An enemy who has lost his mind is definitely easier to deal with than an enemy in a normal state. This is what he has learned from many battles.
Even Thor, the attack would become chaotic after losing his mind, and thus they were able to take him down almost without bloodshed. So, the Child of Tomorrow adopted this strategy again when facing Yang Le.
Unfortunately, the one he was facing was not Thor.
The energy beam had just flown into mid-air when it was hit by a white beam. To the Child of Tomorrow's surprise, the two energies colliding did not cause an explosion, or neutralization, etc., but the white beam directly covered his energy beam. When the white beam disappeared, his energy beam also disappeared without a trace.
"What is this?" Another Child of Tomorrow exclaimed in surprise.
"This is time." Yang Le said with a gloomy face. "Under the passage of time, nothing can escape unscathed."
"Be careful, we are facing an enemy who can control time." The leader quickly reminded the other members of the squad, and uploaded the information about Yang Le's ability to the Mothership in the air.
"Thank you for your kind explanation, the omnipotent Brainiac will soon be able to come up with a method to defeat you." The leader revealed a playful expression, this time he planned to use language to attack Yang Le.
Children of Tomorrow are super gene soldiers cultivated by Brainiac, they are not afraid of death, they only care about whether they can complete the mission.
"Is that so?" Yang Le didn't care. "In that case, why not let him think of more methods."
'What do you mean?' Before the Children of Tomorrow could understand Yang Le's meaning, Yang Le disappeared in the next instant. With the assistance of Brainiac's high-tech armor, they couldn't even detect how Yang Le disappeared, and they couldn't even find where Yang Le had run to.
Until a scream rang out.
"Ah!"
Just hearing the scream, the Children of Tomorrow had already reacted. With gene modification and the assistance of high-tech armor, their reflex nerve were even only slightly behind speedsters. They immediately realized that their partner might have received Yang Le's attack, and they all raised their weapons, preparing to turn the attacked partner and Yang Le into sieves with gunfire.
But when they moved their line of sight over, what they found there was not Clock King's large and fat body, but Big Chill.
Big Chill was passing its body through their partner's body, but not a trace of blood gushed out, as if the two were not on the same layer, and the partner who was passed through turned into an ice sculpture with a horrified expression.
Without ordering, the Children of Tomorrow opened fire in unison. These things couldn't scare them, but their firepower only resulted in the ice sculpture turning into powder. Whether it was physical ammunition or energy beam, they all passed through Yang Le's body without being able to hurt him at all.
"How is this possible!" Another Child of Tomorrow shouted loudly.
Yang Le ignored the hail of bullets and flew towards another enemy at top speed. That Child of Tomorrow was also fearless. With a flick of his arm armor, a blade was thrown out from her arm armor.
'If long-range attacks don't work, try close combat!' With this idea, the Child of Tomorrow flew towards Yang Le instead. Just like before, the Children of Tomorrow were not afraid of death, they believed that even death should be valuable, so in order for the great Brainiac to see Yang Le's ability, she was willing to become a lab rat for trial and error.
The corner of mouth of Yang Le raised slightly, the Omnitrix activated again, and in a blink of an eye, Yang Le transformed into Swampfire again, colliding with that Child of Tomorrow.
"Go to hell!" The Child of Tomorrow didn't care what Yang Le had turned into, raised her hand and stabbed Swampfire's body with a sword, and with a forceful wave, she directly cut Swampfire in half at the waist.
Yang Le, who had lost his lower body, tightly grabbed the shoulders of the Child of Tomorrow with both hands, hanging on her body. When the Child of Tomorrow wanted to drive him away, he took the lead and inserted his hand into the Child of Tomorrow's mouth.
"Ouch!" The Child of Tomorrow let out an unclear retching sound. She felt something the size of an egg drill into her body along her throat.
After doing all this, Yang Le let go of the Child of Tomorrow, and by learning the ability of DC's Swamp Thing, plant wings grew out of his back and he left the Child of Tomorrow.
When the Child of Tomorrow saw Yang Le leaving, she immediately wanted to chase after him, but a piercing pain immediately came from her limbs, causing her to scream.
Ignoring the attacks of other Children of Tomorrow, Yang Le silently watched the changes in the experiment in front of him.
Another Child of Tomorrow quickly approached her side, wanting to see what her partner had experienced, so that he could report to Brainiac.
Suddenly, a green tentacle drilled out from the eyes of the Child of Tomorrow. Before he could react, the tentacle had already turned into a fiery red and conspicuous flower, covering the entire face of the Child of Tomorrow, and there was no more movement.
'What kind of flower is this?' With doubts, the Child of Tomorrow who came to investigate flew forward a little more, but the next moment an unexpected change occurred—
The Child of Tomorrow with the flower growing on her face suddenly went berserk, raised her arm armor and cut her partner in half at the waist with a blade. That partner's face was full of astonishment and he didn't even understand what had happened.
Faced with this scene of fratricide, the Children of Tomorrow who were attacking Yang Le also stopped. Compared to a terrifying enemy, the betrayal of a partner was obviously more surprising to them.
"It really works." Yang Le, the culprit of all this, nodded in satisfaction. The scene before him was proving his idea.
Swampfire can only control plants, so if plants are implanted into a human's body to replace human skeleton, can he indirectly control humans?
It's just that it seems that the implanted person must be very painful, but...
What does it have to do with him?
