Chapter 82 Reign of Supermen: Before the Final Battle

In the Titan Building, an untimely phone call from the mechanical superman directly disturbed the hearts of the two. Neither Ke Wen nor Kara expected that at this moment when they were wanted by the whole world, the mechanical superman actually captured Lena. It stands to reason that it shouldn't be like this. With Lex around, the mechanical superman can't catch people without anyone noticing, and Ke Wen doesn't understand why the mechanical superman wants to bring himself a steel bone.

"What should I do?" After hearing the news of Lena's arrest, Cara naturally lost the mood just now. Looking at Ke Wen, she also wanted to know his thoughts from him.

"You go and inform the others, including Cyborg, I'll go back and make preparations."

"good."

In an emergency, Ke Wen couldn't take care of too much, so he could only split up with Kara. And in the Capital District, Clark, who came back, was also handling official business, and Fiora, a Kryptonian warrior, was also serving as a bodyguard there. Outside the office, the sound of Lex's hurried footsteps and the yelling of the surrounding people also came in. Naturally, Clark had noticed such a movement long ago. He put down his work and waited for the door to open. An angry Lex walked in directly, and Clark also waved to his staff.

Everyone retreated, leaving only Clark, Fiora and Lex in the office.

"What happened, Lex."

"Lena was kidnapped, Hank Henshaw, he did it."

"Him? You let him kidnap Lena? You should know what he's going to do."

"Yes, I know it very well, but I didn't expect everything to happen so suddenly. It was just my inattentiveness. Lena just left and disappeared. It felt like someone was helping him, helping him arrange those things I arranged. As if the protector was transferred, and then let him kidnap Lena easily, do we have any invisible enemies playing tricks, Clark!"

As a smart person, Lex doesn't know that his brother and sister are big enemies to the mechanical superman, especially when he personally killed Leticia, his biological mother. As Leticia's lover, it is okay for the mechanical superman to seek revenge on him. understand. For this reason, he took so many precautions, including Lena, but Lena was still taken away, but his precautions did not appear in time due to various accidents.

It felt to Lex as if someone deliberately distracted these precautions, which was why Lex came to Clark. Everyone is a person who has the memory of the old universe. And as Clark gave up his superhuman powers, Lex also clearly felt that his old opponent and friend was not inferior to him in terms of brains, and as the starting point of everything in the universe, Clark obviously knew more things he didn't know. Secret, someone secretly helped the mechanical superman, who can give himself an answer,

It's just Clark.

After hearing what Lex said, Clark also frowned.

Cyborgs get past Lex's defenses and kidnap Lena, with help from others. In the information that Clark now has, apart from those fallen Batmen from the dark multiverse, Clark can't think of anyone else. But Clark doesn't understand the point of Fallen Batman teaming up with Cyborg Superman to kidnap Lena.

"If I say I don't know anything about it, would you believe it?" Unexpectedly, Clark didn't plan to tell Lex about the fallen Batman for the time being, and just looked at Lex and replied.

Facing Clark's frank answer, Lex didn't know how to answer. Concerned about him, he was also in a panic, not knowing how to deal with it.

"Calm down, things haven't reached the worst point, he kidnapped Lena, but he knows who he wants to get revenge on in the end, it's me. So kidnapping Lena is just a means for him, the point is that he wants to use What to do with kidnapping Lena, believe me, he will give the news soon."

Just as Clark said this, the cell phone on the table vibrated. Looking at the news on the cell phone, Clark also smiled.

"Look, isn't it here?"

When he saw the message on Clark's phone, Lex also grabbed the phone and checked the message from Kara. And Clark simply tidied up and got up.

"Let's watch as you walk. He wants Ke Wen to take the steel bone to trade Lena. What role does the steel bone play in it? Messed up."

Saying that, he also held Lex's shoulders, and left the White House under the escort of Fiora.

On the other side, in the basement of the old manor of the Luthor family, Lena, who was captured by the mechanical superman in a series of accidents because of her mother's death, also woke up from a coma at this time. Put into the life support system to survive Leticia. Extensive burns and high temperature caused this woman to lose her original charm, even her body was shattered, but Lena recognized her at a glance.

"Mother?!"

"Yes, it's your mother. Unexpectedly, she is still alive."

In the darkness, the mechanical superman with red electronic eyes came out, looked at Lena who was brought by him, and replied there.

"Why is my mother here, she was not by Lex...?!"

Halfway through the speech, Lena also realized that Lex did not kill Leticia, but just sent Leticia away with the mother box. Based on the energy of opening the mother box at that time, it is understandable for Leticia to have such a result. As for why it was sent to the old manor of the Luthor family, it is estimated that the mother box was responding to Leticia's thoughts at that time, and sent it to the place Leticia thought was safe at the first time.

From Lena's expression, the mechanical superman also judged that Lena understood the reason, but he still said there: "Yes, just as you think. So I need you as a bargaining chip to exchange for healing with your Kamen Rider her way."

"After the cure, Hank Henshaw, what do you want to do, revenge? Do you think they won't be able to guess your purpose?"

After the panic, Lena also calmed down. Although he knew the reason why his elder brother Lex didn't kill Leticia, but as a person who was used as a tool by Leticia and was controlled, plus he knew the truth about the perfect childhood before and after his birth. , for the mother living in the life support system in front of her, Lena has no other emotions other than pity, and just asks the mechanical superman there.

"So what if they figure it out, unless they want to see you die. I admit, I really can't deal with them, even a Kamen Rider, but it doesn't mean I can't kill you, if he is really willing to take the burden a risk."

"How do you know he won't?" After realizing her situation, Lena also started to fight the mechanical superman psychologically, but in this respect, Lena was inherently deficient.

"Oh? Then tell me, if he is willing, what good will it do you." Facing Lena's questioning, the mechanical superman stood there and asked unhurriedly, but Lena was stopped by the question.

"What do you mean?"

"I know everything about you, Lena Luthor. Your relationship with that Kamen Rider Riki, no, with that Ke Wen, and with that Kryptonian girl. In the universe, he can For you to be deprived of the power of the new god, the power of Omega, and become what you are now, I think you should be happy. But if he really chooses not to compromise with me, one life for another, I don’t know you Can you still maintain this expression, confront me with this posture, or join me and become a member of my revenge.

Ah, I guess you can't imagine that, because at that point, you'll just beg me, let me kill you, but trust me, I won't do it, I'll let you see everything away from you And go for the pain, just like me! "

Speaking of the latter, the mechanical superman's expression twisted like a ghost, causing Lena to back up and fall to the ground. But listening to the mechanical superman's speech about losing everything, Lena recalled everything about her family and everything since her birth, and questioned the mechanical superman there.

"You said you lost everything? Did you mean that because of your own greed and ambition, you insisted on activating Apocalypse technology products on the Tianjian spaceship, which then caused the Tianjian accident? Or did you mean that Superman didn't come to the rescue during the accident? , let you resent him, and then be transformed into this appearance by Apocalypse, or that you should have become the stepfather of me and Lex, inherit a huge business kingdom, and become a master? Haha, if you mean these , then you are really pitiful."

"What did you say!"

When Lena talked about what he had encountered in the past, the mechanical superman's face changed, and his anger made him step forward, directly grabbed Lena's neck, and lifted him in the air. At the same time, he is also quibbling for what he has done.

"Am I wrong! Letty and I really love each other, it's you, it's your father, that dog who only uses money to solve everything is in the front! I hate Superman, what's wrong! His name as Superman is still I gave it to him, so he can be active in the world as a superman, so when I have an accident, he should appear and come to save me! Superman, he did this for me, but he didn't, he failed me, I came Revenge, I want to take away everything he has as Superman, what's wrong with that."

"Like my brother Lex said, Clark Joseph Kent, he was just a nice guy from Smallville who came to the Metropolis and wanted to do something nice with his abilities. In the world, there has never been a principle that a good person should be pointed at by a gun, a good person cannot make mistakes, and a good person must be responsible for all accidents that happen. Blaming the wrong things you do on a person has nothing to do with you You've got a lot of shame on someone, Hank Henshaw.

In this case, why don't you just point it out and blame Apocalypse for all your faults? But yes, it was Apocalypse who gave you a new life. How dare you, a poor bastard who survived by relying on Apocalypse technology, dare to treat your master? clamoring. "

Being humiliated by Lena like this, the mechanical superman is also frustrated, but now Lena is still useful. For Lena's aggressive method, the mechanical superman just threw Lena on the ground with a casual throw. At the same time, he also stretched out his index finger and poked it directly into the half of his mechanized skull. The flesh and blood tissue disguised outside was directly broken. And Lena also watched the mechanical superman's index finger fiddle with her forehead.

Apocalypse, Darkseid, who regarded Mechanical Superman as an abandoned son, also noticed the operation of Mechanical Superman. When shaping Hank Henshaw into Mechanical Superman, Darkseid naturally also installed it in Mechanical Superman's mind. controller. It is also with the help of this controller that Darkseid can remotely command and control the mechanical superman on Apocalypse, but now, the mechanical superman has begun to resist.

"Oh, are you trying to get out of my grip now, Hank Henshaw?"

Dakseid was neither angry nor surprised by the mechanical superman's resistance. He just looked at the mechanical superman struggling there and asked calmly.

"Isn't this obvious, Darkseid, I will no longer be under your control."

"Then I want to know, how do you win, how do you deal with the Justice League and these new generation of superheroes."

"I will show you, and I will take my army back to Apocalypse and turn you into what I am now."

"I am looking forward."

Darkseid also responded to the bold words of the mechanical superman there, and the consciousness projection that appeared in front of Darkseid through the controller implanted in the mechanical superman's brain also began to blur, which also means that the mechanical superman is Relying on his own will, he got rid of the controller's command and accusation against him, and began to break away from Darkseid's control. As the mechanical superman inserted his fingers into his head, he pulled out hard, bringing out flesh tissue and blood, and at the same time pulled out the controller that Darkseid had implanted in his brain, and threw it on the ground at will.

"Now, I'm free, and you, get ready."

Seeing Lena who was frightened by the scene of his index finger sticking into his head, the mechanical superman left satisfied and continued with his arrangement.

Titan Building, because of the mechanical superman's kidnapping call, Ke Wen also found Cyborg and other people, including Lex. As for the hiding place of the mechanical superman, it is not difficult to find, it is in the old manor of the Luthor family, but now the focus is on why the mechanical superman has to bring the steel bone to trade by himself. Looking at the steel bone that has been reborn under his own intervention and can switch back and forth between the mechanical body and the flesh and blood body, the only thing Ke Wen can think of is the opportunity that the mechanical superman covets the steel bone.

Because to some extent, Cyborg and Mechanical Superman are two sides of the same body.

One is eroded by the energy of the mother box, forced to combine with the mother box, and become a half-human, half-mechanical cyborg. One was forcibly transformed into a cyborg by Dakseid because of his own death. Before Ke Wen didn't help Cyborg, Cyborg, a biochemical man, was also in danger. First, he was invaded by the evil homotopic grid of Earth 3, and his mechanical body was taken away, and he almost died. Even if there is no such thing as a grid, it is because it is combined with the mother box.

In the subsequent comic works, there is no shortage of reasons for being countered by Apocalypse, which caused the destruction of the Justice League. It's just that in the end, Cyborg managed to stick to himself, didn't become a puppet, and didn't take revenge on the world, while Mechanical Superman, on the contrary, blamed everything on others and resented everything.

"But it's wrong to think so. If he really covets your technology, he shouldn't have targeted Lena from the very beginning, but you, also as a cyborg, if the mechanical superman launches a sneak attack on you, You may not be able to bear it, why target Lena, what can she do?"

"Unless the mechanical superman knows that I can switch back and forth between flesh and blood not because of myself, but because of your strange memory, but the only ones who knew this at the time were me, Billy and... Na? Lena told Cyborg about this?"

When replaying the situation of his rebirth at the time, Steel Gu also guessed there, but he also vetoed it after speaking, this guess is too stupid.

"Because what he wants to save is not himself, but another person, Leticia Luthor."

After Cyborg mentioned this possibility, Lex also reacted and said the answer immediately. And as soon as his words came out, everyone looked at him.

"I didn't kill her, I just activated the mother box. But the high temperature and energy brought by the mother box are just like when you first came into contact with it. As an ordinary person, Leticia couldn't bear it. He found her, Then he wants to reproduce what happened to you. He doesn’t know who owns the other mother box, but your steel frame itself is another mother box, and you can still achieve the effect he wants.”

Lex, who understood what the mechanical superman wanted to do, also explained the reason. Although he didn't understand why Lex didn't kill Leticia, at least now he knew the purpose of the mechanical superman, and Ke Wen also had the initiative.

"Since this is the case, it is better to take the mother box with the steel frame in the past, and use the steel frame to exchange hostages. At that time, both of them will have accidents, and we will be more passive."

"You know what you're talking about! Bastard boy!"

"I know very well that I will definitely save the person, but if the initiative is in his hands from the beginning to the end, whether he can save the person is another matter! I am not in a hurry if something happens to Lena? The best way now is to take the mother The box will be negotiated in the past, of course, I will also bring the steel frame, the right to choose is in our hands, you can decide what you want. The mother box, you can either give it to me, or I will get it myself!"

Regarding Lex's anger, Ke Wen was not polite, and directly turned back. The atmosphere suddenly became tense, but Lex did not stand still to Ke Wen's insistence. After thinking for a while, he still gave in.

"You'd better do what you say, boy."

"Of course, now you still tell me where you hid the mother box..."

In the middle of the night, in the basement of the Luthor family's manor, Lena fell into a coma, and Leticia's figure disappeared. Only the mechanical superman stood there with his eyes closed, waiting for Ke Wen and the others to arrive. Soon, there was a popping sound, and the popping sound channel opened, and Ke Wen and Steel Bone came out of the popping sound channel, holding the mother box from Lex in his hand.

After Ke Wen and Cyborg appeared, the mechanical superman also came back to his senses, looked at the two in front of him, and smiled.

"You know exactly what I want, Kamen Rider, Ke Wen."

"I know exactly what you want to do. I brought the person. Similarly, I also bring you a better choice, the mother box, the most important part of the achievement of the steel frame."

Holding the mother box in his hand, under the action of the steel frame, the activated mother box floated in mid-air and began to operate regularly. When the mechanical superman saw the mother box held in Cyborg's hand, the light of the electronic eyes betrayed the thoughts in his heart, and he longed for the mother box very much. And Ke Wen also stretched out his finger and said, "One, change one."

"Are you negotiating terms with me?"

"Yes, I'm negotiating terms with you. Either choose the mother box or the steel frame, and then change. I want to save Lena, but it doesn't mean that it's up to you from the beginning to the end."

"Aren't you afraid of me doing it?"

"I'm afraid, but you shouldn't have forgotten how I created conditions for our people when I faced the full-scale invasion of Apocalypse, or are you confident that you can surpass the speed of time suspension. I dare not bet, But the question is, do you dare to bet?"

In a few words, Ke Wen also took the initiative in his own hands, looked at Lena who was lying unconscious, and then looked at the mother box floating in midair. After careful consideration, the mechanical superman also chose to compromise.

"You win, one for another."

Seeing that the mechanical superman agreed to this condition, Ke Wen also gestured to the steel frame. Under the control of the steel bone, the mother box also flew towards the mechanical superman. Similarly, Lena, who was lying unconscious, was also controlled by the mechanical superman and moved towards Ke Wen.

When the mother box and Lena crossed each other, Ke Wen and the mechanical superman, who had already been prepared, also jumped up in an instant, and rushed directly towards Lena and the mother box. At the moment of the explosion, Ke Wen also activated the static force for the first time. After the first round of experiments, even without changing his body, Ke Wen was able to mobilize part of the static force to pause time, even if the range was not large, but In this closed basement, enough.

Similarly, the mechanical superman is also guarding against Ke Wen. As long as he has seen the ability of time-stop once, it is impossible for the mechanical superman not to take precautions, and his coping method is also very simple. He was also created by Apocalypse technology. It can also control the mother box to a certain extent, so he directly chooses to activate the mother box and let it open the explosion channel again. When the explosion channel is released, the light and heat emitted are enough to make an ordinary person suffer unimaginable pain. At this time, only Lena is near the mother box.

If Ke Wen wants to suspend time, he must give priority to suspending Lena's piece to create an absolute field. As the mechanical superman thought, the moment he noticed that the mechanical superman activated the mother box remotely, the static force released by Ke Wen also directly covered Lena and its surroundings. Lena, who was moving in the air, froze instantly, and the same was true for the shock wave released by the mother box. In this gap, the mechanical superman also grabbed the mother box, escaped directly into the explosion channel, and disappeared in front of Ke Wen and Cyborg.

After rescuing Lena and easily neutralizing the shock wave, the steel bone also came to Ke Wen's side. After scanning Lena's physical signs, he looked at the fleeing mechanical superman and asked, "Small?"

"No, this is just the beginning. I would like to know what else he will do with this mother box besides saving people. It's not fun to sell a loophole after all, and not seduce a bunch of ghosts and snakes. , but now, take Lena back first."

"Understood."

Hugging Lena, the two also left through the sonic boom channel. After the mechanical superman won the mother box, he started his next plan.
