Chapter 294 Darkseid Raises His Fist Behind the Mite of Meditation

I wonder if anyone has seen "La Qian".

What I mean is...

Pulling.

People living in cities may have long forgotten this most primitive and ancient method, but in fact, when a boat is going against the current, a boatman will tie a thick and strong rope to his body and then use his manpower to pull the boat forward.

A thick, strong rope. Yes, naturally, something that breaks with a single pull cannot be called a rope.

Above the ropes connected to each towman, there is a main rope, which allows the commander to control the direction of each towman's force, thereby controlling the direction of the boat's movement.

This main rope is more important than the other ropes, and it also bears the tension of the other ropes, so the strength requirements are even higher.

The selection of materials for this main rope must be done with utmost care.

First of all.

The rope must be compatible with the ship he intends to tow.

Chen Tao grabbed Reverse Lightning, who had already fainted. At this moment, Reverse Lightning was bound like a rice dumpling. Not only were countless metal components protruding from his flesh and blood to bind him tightly, but a large amount of magic was also inscribed on his body to ensure that he was completely powerless to resist.

He stroked the other person's body, and instantly, black and red reverse speed force leaped and surged on his palm, which had already been transformed into a red death demon.

"See? We're very compatible... Hehehehehe..."

Chen Tao quickly extinguished the Red Death Demon Synchronization on his palm, then grabbed Reverse Lightning by the back of the neck and held him upside down in his hand.

Second.

This rope must be strong enough.

He slowly sensed the massive black and red lightning within Reverse-Flash's body. This power, completely opposite to the Speed ​​Force, was refined by Reverse-Flash himself. At this moment, however, this Reverse Speed ​​Force was peacefully coexisting with the Speed ​​Force he had previously absorbed from The Flash.

Although on the surface Reverse-Flash seems to have been captured despite being outmatched by Darkseid and The Flash working together, and doesn't appear to be that strong, the most important question is:

It seems that not many people can win against such a united front.

If it weren't for Chen Tao's prior preparations and intervention, Reverse Lightning would almost have made a clean getaway.

This strength is sufficient to replace the gorilla Groud and the turtle man as ropes.

So... now that we have the rope, we can go find the rope-puller. And all of this happened right under Darkseid's nose.

"Shazam!"

Chen Tao roared, and a bolt of lightning struck him, transforming him into the magical Shazam body. This was the Shazam power he had previously tricked Billy into giving him, and the other trickster before him was Mite himself. Therefore, a portion of their power originated from the same source, which would put Mite at a great disadvantage.

This connection is not one-way, but a two-way pull, like a tug-of-war, where the stronger one will undoubtedly have the upper hand.

However, Chen Tao didn't rush to see the Mite of Meditation. Instead, he used the magical lightning from Shazam's power to wrap around Reverse-Lightning's body once more. This magical lightning combined with the black-red and golden lightning passively generated on Reverse-Lightning's body.

And the result was as he expected. Since the magical lightning of Shazam's power worked well with the Speed ​​Force in previous experiments, there was no reason why it wouldn't work with Reverse-Flash.

Although he had expected it, Chen Tao was still slightly excited that the theory he had derived from the experiment with The Flash in the lab had been proven to be feasible in real-world practice.

That's right... You can't just have one rope. If you encounter a stronger roper, the previous roper can become the rope. There's always room for maneuver. This is just an example, not a real rope-pulling exercise. What Chen Tao has to do is far more complicated than pulling a rope.

Not far away, Poison Ivy, after discovering through the large-eyed plant left behind that Reverse Flash had been captured, returned with her many family members.

They sat collectively on the giant plant spider, letting the spider-like monster made of trees carry them back on its six legs.

Chen Tao gave the Flash the order: "Reverse-Flash threw Superman onto some decaying island. Those are outposts for the black decay to invade the red of all beings."

Superman has lost control of the remote and his target, leaving him only with the instinct to react passively. Search the surrounding decaying islands and make sure to rescue him. After you rescue him, Killer Croc will open a portal back to Earth for you, and then you can return to the battlefield.

He arranged for the hostages one by one... Ugh, the Justice League members re-entered the room, and Chen Tao finally caught his breath. Then he turned to Darkseid, who was standing there with an excessively good temper.

"Then let's go," he said. "This time we can't do the job so carelessly, like we did with Reverse-Flash."

He said, "A sense of humor... a sense of humor! Do you understand what I mean?"

Darkseid: "..."

A sonic boom tunnel opened, and Darkseid and Batman stepped inside, vanishing instantly.

……

……

……

"We are cosmic police, not suicidal lunatics."

Hal Jordan lay panting in the rubble, then heard another Green Lantern, Sinestro, speak to him.

"It's time to run away. You've done enough by resisting for your mother for so long. You and I both know that such resistance is futile, and things will continue to fall apart once Darkseid really returns."

Hal ignored the old bird's advice and stood up, trying to continue to visualize some weapon.

"The energy of the lamp ring is less than 15%."

His ring was a reminder to its owner how tired he was, but Hal paid no heed.

He skillfully conjured an entrance to another dimension from the void beside him and reached in to retrieve the Green Lamp Furnace. He had only known Sinestro for a short time, yet he had already mastered this technique so well.

He quickly recharged, then stopped wasting words with Senesto and was about to charge forward, but was stopped by the pointy-eared veteran Green Lantern.

"Enough, Hal, stop going up there. Haven't you realized the difference in strength between you and Darkseid? This battle is pointless. The only reason Darkseid didn't kill you all the moment he saw you is because his laboratory desperately needs all sorts of materials, especially a precious, living Green Lantern."

Sinestro gritted his teeth and said, "I won't persuade you to abandon your homeworld unless absolutely necessary, but the last time the Green Lantern Corps tried to arrest Darkseid, they gathered more than 3000 Green Lanterns, and a third of them were lost just before they reached Darkseid's throne."

He said, "You've exhausted most of Oa's fighting power, yet you still can't do anything to Darkseid. Are you really so arrogant as to think you're stronger than 3000 Green Lanterns?"

Sinestro pulled out the remote control Batman had given him again: "Or are you still hoping Batman's backup plan can turn the tide? Don't be ridiculous. Even if there is a group in this universe that can rival Darkseid, it certainly won't be a rookie Green Lantern and his bunch of random native teammates from his home planet."

Sinestro then put the small remote control into the flight pack he had materialized from his green light ring, and said:

"I took into full account how much you miss your home planet, which is why I stayed here with you to fight Darkseid for so long. But by the end, you should have realized that defeating Darkseid is almost impossible. Darkseid is a moving natural disaster, a living catastrophe; it's foolish to try to understand him with human thinking."

"So hurry up and retreat, Hal. I've stayed with you this long, that's more than enough."

"Is the reality still not enough for you to accept? Earth has been targeted by Darkseid, and it's beyond saving, but we have to survive. Batman lured Darkseid away, which was a very good tactic, but he can't keep Darkseid trapped forever."

"Now we're facing the Medusa Mite, which is much easier to deal with than Darkseid."

Sinestro grabbed the arm of Hal Jordan as he walked past him.

"I had originally made some preparations for our successful escape from this planet that was about to be conquered by Darkseid, such as spaceships and food, but now it seems..."

Sinestro then met Hal's eyes, eyes filled with unwavering determination. Even without Hal speaking, Sinestro understood Hal's meaning.

"Come with me, rookie. This is far beyond our capabilities. Even the greatest Green Lantern shouldn't be sent to his death."

"No."

But Senesto's earnest advice only earned him a low gasp from Hal.

He said, "No."

He spoke succinctly, then bypassed Seneca and flew back towards the battlefield where he had been knocked away.

On the other side, the infinitely expanding Meditation Mite had become so swollen that its body was almost translucent.

"Impossible! How could you possess my Shazam power?!"

Shazam Billy Batson has become a key player in the fight against Mite. Even though he is still a minor, among those still able to move around, his superpowers are undoubtedly the strongest.

But at this moment, he was struck by a lightning bolt identical to his own from the Meditation Mite, causing him to tremble like a sieve, and he uttered an incredulous sound:

"This isn't right. The book the old wizard gave me told me that every wizard's magical energy has subtle differences and unique characteristics, and it's impossible for them to be exactly the same... How did you steal my Shazam power?"

"Of course it's your father." The Mite was very honest. Its appearance had changed drastically. Except for its transparent belly, its body was covered with heavy scales, and it had a mouthful of sharp teeth, as well as a pair of fleshy wings growing from its back.

"What are you talking about?" Shazam roared and charged at the Mite again, then flew back at an even faster speed.

The mites mocked him mercilessly: "You're so easily fooled, kid. You crave the love from your absent father so much that you can't see the truth, or maybe you don't even want to see it."

He grinned maliciously, relentlessly attacking Shazam's mental defenses.

"No matter what, you look pathetic and hateful now, putting your family and even your world in danger."

"I'm so glad that someone with such a fragile heart was chosen to be the new warrior. It makes everything much easier than I expected. I manipulated your father, and that's how I manipulated everything!"

"The Rock of Eternity... The Vault of Eternity..."

As the Mite recounted each and every one of his misdeeds, Billy's mind went blank: "How dare you... how dare you control my father and then use him to steal my power..."

Billy was speechless for a moment, only repeating the same things over and over like a child. Well, he did seem to be a child after all.

"Yes, I did it, you idiot."

"My dad loves me, and you—"

"Wait, what did you say?"

Mite burst into loud laughter: "Hahahaha, Billy Batson, you poor orphan! Do you really believe your father came to find you willingly?"

Billy looked at him.

"What are you talking about?"

"Let me tell you about your father, Billy Batson. It took us a long time to finally find him. Your father wasn't looking for you, Billy at all—he was living his life as usual, stealing wallets at the train station to make a living, all alone."

"He never thought of you, not before, not now. It's all a lie."

A massive burst of magical power exploded from the serpent, sending the disoriented Shazam flying backward.

And through the billowing smoke of the ruins, the voice of the meditation mite continued to echo:

"I want the power that the Wizards and the Eternal Council refused to give me years ago. I want the right to use all the magic of the seven continents. I want to be the most powerful magical being in the many kingdoms. I no longer want to be looked down upon by those who think they are superior to me."

Flames breathed from his mouth, scorching Billy's body:

"Do you know what it feels like to be subservient to thousands? And when they look back at you with disgust, I spent years returning to the Rock of Eternity. I sacrificed everything just to meet my heroes—the Council—because I wanted to learn from them and become one of them. Do you want to know what the Council did? They laughed at me!"

"And I will send them to hell!"

The enormous body of the Mist Mite swayed, danced, and twisted in the air, as various vast magical energies gathered on its body, transforming into all sorts of powerful spells that were unleashed upon the entire battlefield:

"And now, the Mite of Meditation controls everything! Darkseid has promised me the magic of the entire planet, and I will accomplish something unprecedented!"

Billy struggled to open his bruised and swollen eyes and saw that the Mite wasn't in a hurry to kill him, but was instead swaggering around in the air.

Behind him, a massive sonic boom tunnel opened at that very moment, revealing Darkseid, who had returned.

With a new enemy yet to be eliminated and an old one already returning, Billy's heart sank.

But just then, he saw Darkseid raise his fist.
