Chapter 418: People with flaws are human beings
Inside the secret room.

Cheng Long closed his eyes and sat cross-legged with his hands folded between his chest and abdomen. A ball of red fluid that looked like a living thing was spinning and wriggling on Darkseid's skull.

The righteous demonic energy passed through his hands and wrapped around the squirming red fluid.

He is trying to refine Darkseid's special energy.

The power of the Omega Effect is very special. Not only does it have powerful destructive power, but it can also track or travel between different places, times, dimensions and even universes.

To put it simply, it means being able to travel to the past, the future, and parallel universes outside the main universe.

In the future, after your cultivation level is enhanced, you can even go to different universes, which is equivalent to mastering the system's ability to travel through different dimensions.

What Cheng Long needs to do now is to master this power and integrate it into his eyes. In the future, his eyes will glow red, and he will be able to emit heat rays with incredible destructive power, as well as open up dimensional channels and throw people into the crazy multiverse to travel.

But it takes some time to refine this power...

With Cheng Long's continuous efforts, the red fluid swirling and wriggling on the skull slowly became obedient.

The wild aura belonging to Darkseid faded visibly, and was replaced by an upright, righteous and awe-inspiring spirit.

Just like the magic power he cultivated, it contained a trace of majestic divine power.

"This power is indeed special..."

Cheng Long withdrew the magic that enveloped the Omega Effect, and the Omega Effect, which was emitting a misty red light, immediately turned into two streams of light, emerged from Darkseid's skull, and actively flowed into his eyes.

The influx of the Omega effect made Cheng Long's eyes become hot and red.

But he didn't feel sick.

As the last ray of red light poured in, Cheng Long's eyes gradually calmed down and began to become clear and bright.

……

South Dakota.

A group of hawkish combat troops advanced to General Zod's space battleship with a covetous look and stopped.

Afterwards, the Krypton survivors, led by Zod, drove out of the battleship in a small aircraft and had a face-to-face conversation with the commander of the army below...

"You brought nothing with you. I warned you that if you did not hand over the Kryptonian traitor to me, it would be considered as going to war with us."

Zod finished speaking and suddenly raised his right arm. A dagger popped out from above the cuff with a clang. He used the dagger to mercilessly slit the negotiator's throat.

shhhhhh...

Almost at the same time, the Kryptonian aircraft suspended in the air emitted blue lasers.

Every time a laser falls, it will take away several, or even seven or eight lives.

The soldiers' bodies were as fragile as pieces of tofu when encountering lasers, and the war was proceeding in a one-sided trend.

Over the army.

When Kara saw the brutal hunting behavior of her fellow tribesmen, she was slightly moved. Although she had suffered torture from humans, as the long-haired Barry said, there are good and bad people on Earth, and not all of them deserve to die.

However, when she thought about the tragic experiences she had experienced in the past few years of being studied and bullied, she was merely moved and had no intention of stopping her fellow tribesmen from hunting down the soldiers.

However, she was caught red-handed while watching the battle openly by Zod and his adjutant Fiora who were preparing to return to the aircraft.

"Oh, our traitor finally shows up."

Zod looked at Kara with excitement. Although his voice was not loud, Kara could hear it clearly. After basking in the sun for a long time, she had activated all the abilities that a superman should have, such as super speed, flight, super strength, and super endurance.

"traitor?"

There was a stern look in Kara's eyes.

Then, he came to Zod with a whoosh and said coldly, "You Kryptonian criminals exiled by the elders, what qualifications do you have to call me a traitor?"

"Because the genetic code to restart Krypton is in your body, and you turn a blind eye to us." Zod said calmly.

"You've found the wrong person. The Code of Life is with my cousin." The purpose of Kara being teleported out of Krypton was to protect her cousin from growing up healthily.

Her protection was not only due to kinship, but more importantly, it was because of the Code of Life that was integrated into her cousin's genes, a gene bank that could allow Krypton to be reborn.

It contains the genetic codes of all Kryptonians. As long as they find a settlement, they can rely on the genetic technology on the Kryptonian battleships and breeding chambers to breed Kryptonians one by one, thus realizing the rebirth of Krypton.

"No, I intercepted your cousin's escape pod. Unfortunately, his body does not have the Life Code we are looking for..." Zod shook his head with great regret.

If they had found the Code of Life at that time, they would not have gone through all the trouble to come to Earth.

Although the Earth is very suitable for Kryptonians to survive, with a yellow sun that makes people feel warm even through the protective shield, the thing that is most abundant in the universe is stars.

"Where is he now?"

Kara grasped the point sharply.

"Unfortunately, he died soon after we bled him."

Zod did not hide the fact that extracting all the Kryptonian genes was extremely dangerous. Even an adult might not be able to handle it, let alone a baby.

"Zizi~~"

Two balls of scorching rays burst out from Kara's eyes and hit Zod heavily.

Upon learning that her cousin was dead, Kara was furious and went into a frenzy. She caught Zod and started beating him up.

Unfortunately, Zod's physique is very strong, and even without sun exposure, he is still very resistant to attacks. Kara was rescued not long ago, and she is very lacking in strength.

Not only did she fail to kill Zod, but she was injured by Zod's subordinates using laser weapons.

boom!
A high-energy laser beam hit Kara in the back.

The powerful impact force knocked it to the ground from mid-air.

The moment Kara looked up from her face, she clearly smelled the smell of burnt meat.

Knowing she was no match for her opponent, she decisively took off into the air, dragging her half-crippled body, and hurriedly flew to Wayne Manor.

……

at the same time.

Bat cave.

With the help of the Batman, Barry quickly simulated the scene of being struck by lightning.

At this time, it happened to be a rainy day in Gotham, and lightning snakes appeared from time to time in the dim sky...

"Are you ready?"

The elderly Batman walked to the console and asked solemnly.

"let's start!"

Barry's eyes were determined.

Seeing this, Wayne decisively pulled the switch to make the lightning-inducing equipment conductive.

boom!
A beam of lightning struck the lightning rod, and the terrifying electric current immediately flowed down along the wire and quickly irrigated Barry. Barry, who was shirtless, was instantly stiffened by the electric shock and bounced up from the iron chair.

"Wait, no, stop, stop now."

Long-haired Barry, who had experienced a lightning strike, knew at a glance that something was wrong with his current condition. He hurriedly dropped the bat suit in his hand and screamed at Wayne.

When Wayne turned off the power, Long-haired Barry ran to Barry, but was scolded by both Wayne and Barry, telling him not to get close. Because the last time Barry lost his speed force, it was because the two were too close, causing one to lose the power and the other to gain the power.

"Barry, your power is about to be activated. Now all it needs is a trigger to fully activate it." Cheng Long walked into the Bat Cave politely, holding a cup of freshly brewed hot tea, and said to the half-dead man.

In fact, if Barry wants to regain his lost speed force, he only needs to tell him and he doesn't need to be electrocuted at all.

He only needs to bring the two Barrys close together and have a certain degree of physical contact, and then he can use the long-haired Barry's speed force to pull Barry into contact with the speed force again and restore his strength.

"What's the introduction?"

Long-haired Barry asked impatiently.

"Use your fingertips to touch his fingertips."

Upon hearing this, long-haired Barry came up to Barry without any hesitation and touched Barry's fingertips with his fingertips.

As expected, when their fingertips touched each other, Barry's injuries began to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye, a speed comparable to that of Wolverine.

In fact, everyone who possesses the Speed ​​Force has the ability to heal quickly and possesses super strength.

Without a strong physique, it is impossible to run that fast. After all, when the speed reaches a certain level, any bump can cost the opponent's life.

The force is mutual. The faster the speed, the greater the injury caused by the collision.

The engine in The Boys, who couldn't stop and hit and killed the male protagonist's girlfriend, is a typical example.

"How does it feel?" asked long-haired Barry expectantly.

“It feels like the world is slowing down again.”

Barry stood up and stretched his body, exclaiming, "It feels so good to regain my strength! When Long let me touch you before, weren't you afraid of losing your strength?"

"I am afraid, but compared to strength, I hope you are safe and sound."

Although Long-haired Barry likes to make trouble, he has a kind nature, which is very similar to Barry. Cheng Long still admires these two people.

If it were him, facing a situation where he might lose power, he might not be able to be so decisive.

Having mastered great power and then suddenly losing it all, one's mentality will definitely collapse.

When it comes to money, resources, or even his lover leaving him, Cheng Long can keep a calm mind, but the only things he can't let go of are power and immortality.

Perhaps, this is also a kind of extreme selfishness.

But this is human nature. If you don't covet money or power, you can only covet beauty.

There can be no perfect person without desires in the world, including saints. Yuanshi Tianzun, the saint in the world of Precious Lotus Lantern, when faced with the opportunity to transcend and signed the devil's contract, was just like Long-haired Barry, without any consideration at all!
In order to achieve transcendence, saints can fight for life and death.

So Cheng Long never hides his preferences.

After chatting with Barry for a while, Long-haired Barry returned the other's equipment, and he picked up the old Batsuit to transform it...

Whoosh!
Suddenly.

A figure came out of the cave where the lightning rod was located and went into the bat cave. When he landed, he happened to fall on Cheng Long.

"Kara, how is she hurt?"

Barry, who had changed into clean casual clothes at some point, saw Kara falling into Cheng Long's arms with injuries all over her body, and a look of surprise appeared in his eyes.

Superman's self-healing ability is stronger than his. He really can't understand how Kara got all those injuries on her back.

"Krypton's laser weapons contain some kind of radiation similar to kryptonite, which has an inhibitory effect on Superman, so her injuries will take a long time to heal."

Cheng Long had come into contact with kryptonite before and was quite familiar with its structure and smell. He had done this because he couldn't find kryptonite at the beginning so that he could create some kryptonite when needed.

Unexpectedly, his unintentional behavior allowed him to see the injuries on Kara's body at a glance.

"Mr. Long, Kara is in great pain now. Can you help her?" Barry had just experienced a lightning strike. It felt extremely uncomfortable and he felt like he was going to be distorted. Therefore, he could empathize with Kara who came back with burns all over her body.

"If you hadn't come to talk to me, she would have recovered."

Cheng Long smiled, then spread out one hand, pressed it on Kara's wound, and passed a ray of magic power into it.

The magic power filled Kara's body, and a tingling and numb feeling instantly spread throughout her body.

She couldn't help but let out a soft moan, which made Barry feel itchy...

……

after a while.

The revived Supergirl asked Wayne for a bat suit, put it on, and quickly came to Cheng Long and the others, saying seriously: "The war has already started, Zod is slaughtering your army, it may not be too late to stop it now."

"Let me correct you. It's their country's military. It has nothing to do with me."

"..."

Barry, Long-haired Barry, and Wayne were speechless.

Is now the time to correct this?

"Aren't you going to go over and stop the war?"

Kara frowned.

"go."

Cheng Long's answer surprised Kara. She asked in confusion, "Didn't you say that the army that was massacred had nothing to do with you?"

"Does this prevent me from saving people?"

"..."

Kara was speechless for a moment and was speechless.

Cheng Long emphasized that the soldiers who were massacred had nothing to do with him because of his stance, and running to save them was a personal act and it was his nature.

What's more, Zod is not dealing with just one hawk, but the entire earth. How can he just stand by and watch...

When the long-haired Barry was ready, Cheng Long patted the elderly Wayne in military uniform and advised: "Bruce, you should not join in the fun at your age. Leave General Zod to us. You just stay at home and wait for the result."

"Although I don't have super powers, my fighter jet is very advanced, and I should be able to help a little if I go along." Old Wayne has been lying at home for many years, and he really wants to regain the passion of having something to do every day during Gotham's chaotic period.

"I'm afraid you'll make things worse and I'll have to help you later, so just stay home!"

Whoosh!
Before he finished speaking, the person disappeared without a trace.

Long-haired Barry and Barry looked at each other, then disappeared into the Batcave. They both possessed super speed, and it only took them a few minutes to get from Gotham to South Dakota.

When Kara saw this scene, she also jumped out of the Batcave, leaving Wayne an old widower standing there in silence.

“It seems I’m really old!”

"From now on, you should just stay at home and enjoy your retirement!"

Wayne shook his head and sighed with a lonely look on his face.

This is the world of young people, and as an old man without super powers, he can only do some logistical work most of the time.

Perhaps, he can replace Alfu and provide intelligence to the long-haired Barry who is about to debut, and Kara who may stay, to form an alliance that benefits the world.
