American comics: Enlightenment in Arkham, Ascension to Homelander.

Chapter 446 Superman, Omnipotent
Not long ago, Marvel America, Los Angeles.

Although Bruce came alone, he brought a lot of intelligent armors. As soon as he flew into the city, he was greeted well by the Hydra members in the city.

It’s a pity that although Hydra’s firepower is strong, Bruce’s dodge is even more powerful.

As for Jarvis, his observation and calculation abilities are extremely powerful.

Using Batman and intelligent mecha to attack Hydra at this time is undoubtedly a dimensionality reduction attack.

Considering the combat capability of the Bleeding Edge Armor, let alone using it on Hydra, even if it is used on Thanos, Thanos will be in trouble.

As a result, Hydra suffered heavy losses both in the real and virtual worlds.

Jarvis fought with Zora on the Internet, while Bruce led the intelligent armor to block all the major roads in Los Angeles.

Although the current Bruce has not experienced the upgrade process of being beaten by various Gotham villains, after following Downton to several universes, his overall view has already been developed to a level far beyond his peers.

Just like that, in just less than half an hour, Los Angeles changed from a territory ruled by Hydra to another core city that the Avengers were about to take over.

The leader of Hydra in the Los Angeles area was also blocked by Bruce and the remaining twenty or so armors in a plane fleeing Los Angeles, and exploded along with the plane that crashed in the Hollywood Hills.

At this point, there should be a perfect outcome.

Such as Batman's powerful cross-universe rescue and the Avengers' gratitude.

but……

Bruce, who has not had the chance to be tempered by a series of unscrupulous villains such as the Joker and Bane, has really underestimated the bottom line of the villains!

When he was training in the Assassin's League, he never personally participated in any of the Assassin's League's operations. Lei Xiaogu simply turned him into a killing machine and had no chance to bring him into his own villain career.

So, Bruce, who did not understand the bottom line of the villains, was immediately taught a lesson by Hydra's unscrupulous actions.

Even though he did not enjoy the taste of victory, he still worked diligently to carry out patrol duties in Los Angeles, which had been hit by him.

But there were still eleven locations in Los Angeles where intense flames were burning at the same time.

As soon as the fire broke out, Bruce rushed to put out the fire, but he was helpless to find that part of Los Angeles' local water and electricity system had been destroyed by Hydra's final counterattack.

Although the water system was not completely destroyed, the fire hydrants in most blocks were out of service, so Bruce only had time to put out two fires.

At the fire point near the Pacific Cliff, Bruce even used the missiles carried by the armor to artificially create a vacuum area to forcibly extinguish the fire.

But even so, the fire immediately took advantage of the dry Brahma wind and completely ignited the entire Los Angeles, and there was a trend of surrounding the entire Los Angeles.

All the high-end communities in Los Angeles, including the city within a city of Beverly Hills, were completely surrounded by the disaster.

But compared to this group of rich people who generally own helicopters and can escape at the first opportunity, Bruce is more worried about ordinary people in Los Angeles.

In the face of the fire that gradually surrounded the entire Los Angeles area and the increasingly congested streets.

The vast majority of ordinary people will not be able to escape from a fire.

Even those who escape from Los Angeles may have to face a bleak life of losing everything.

All of this made Bruce very upset, and he quickly contacted the Avengers and S.H.I.E.L.D.

In addition, he also contacted Clark through the communication, asking Clark to quickly leave Tony behind and rush over from Washington.

After learning about the fire, Clark powered up the armor to full power, even though he couldn't fly on his own yet, and arrived in New York within twenty minutes.

but……

When Clark arrived, he was not facing a fire that could be put out.

What he was facing was a fire that was becoming increasingly powerful and unstoppable!
Faced with such a disaster, even though Clark was heartbroken, there was nothing he could do.

Bruce, while trying his best to coordinate the traffic order of the few remaining escape routes in Los Angeles, shouted to Clark.

"Clark, what the hell is there to do?"

"I don't know, damn it, I can try to save some people, because I'm still pretty fast, but that's all I can do!"

As Clark answered, three children burst out from the edge of the fire.

As for the several centers where the fire gradually spread, there were no living people there.

Even during the day, the color of the flames had reached half the height of a mushroom cloud.

In the face of such a big fire, not to mention humans, even steel and gold would be burned to the point of becoming soft and nearly melting!

While placing the three children on a rescue vehicle that the Los Angeles City Government was trying to maintain.

Clark hurried past Bruce.

"Damn it, Bruce, don't you have any plan to put out the fire!"

“How can I plan for something I haven’t imagined!

And it’s in a world that I don’t understand at all!
I never thought that they were prepared to set the fire from the very beginning, and it was not just Hydra who did it, there were others who helped them!
Because I just found out that it happened four days ago, four days after the Battle of New York broke out.

Insurance companies have uniformly withdrawn insurance from several large cities across the United States!"

"Shit!"

Clark cursed loudly, then walked past Bruce and continued to save people.

Life is priceless, so save as many lives as possible. Before the fire completely surrounds Los Angeles, they still have a chance!
only……

While trying his best to save people, Clark heard countless screams and wails.

Whether fighting or rescuing people, Clark hardly felt tired, but those screams tortured him mentally and exhausted him.

After rescuing several more people, he rushed to Bruce's side like a fly, and shouted at Bruce who was dealing with countless fleeing vehicles amid the honking of horns.

"This won't work. Damn it, the casualties are still increasing. We have to think of a way!"

“There are so many ways, but none of them are feasible. Hell, the Los Angeles Fire Department has completely shut down!
Even if SHIELD temporarily took over Los Angeles' fire protection system, Los Angeles' water and electricity systems have been almost destroyed!
Without water and electricity, what else can we do! ”

"But you are Batman, Bruce, you are the almighty Batman!
Please, come up with a more effective idea!
There are too many casualties, too many, I...we must do more!"

"Unless you can use your freezing breath to split the fire, freeze the lakes and oceans into solid ice, and move them above this city, just like in your comics!"

“I can’t do it, damn it, I tried and I can’t!!!
I don’t know why my comics are so good, and I don’t know when I will be so good!
But now, I really can’t do it, I can’t do it!!!
Where is Tang? Why don’t you look for Tang? Contact him quickly!
I can't do it, but he should be able to do it. He must be able to move seawater, and a huge amount of it!"

"But Tang won't care about this kind of thing, damn it, I'll call him right away, but I know him very well, he would rather choose to watch the fun, absolutely!!!"

Bruce knew Downton too well, he knew what a jerk Downton was.

But at this moment, he still called Downton!
While Bruce was waiting for the call to be connected, two cars suddenly crashed into the vehicles in front of them in the increasingly hot air, trying to make a way out.

Seeing this, Clark rushed over, smashed the glass with one punch and knocked the driver unconscious, then picked up the car and threw it to the back of the team.

Clark is a good man, but not a fool.

He knew very well that if he sent the disturbing vehicles out of the fire scene first, more people disrupting the order would be waiting for him.

In the face of disaster, simple sympathy is useless, and the only way is to use all means to maintain order.

At the same time, the call was connected, and the facts were as expected.

After just a moment, Bruce hung up the phone.

Clark hurried to Bruce's side and asked anxiously.

"What did Tang say?" "He said he didn't start the fire!"

"Then what?!!"

"Then he said... this is a natural disaster, or at least it has turned into a natural disaster!"

"Fake!!!"

After hearing what Bruce said, Clark immediately understood that the bastard Tang was probably just watching the fun!
That guy never cared about human life, all he liked was to have fun.

Obviously, the Marvel Los Angeles people and Tang have no relationship, so what reason does Tang have to be the savior?

He is a fun-loving person, not a savior!
So what about the savior?

At this moment, Clark had completely lost hope. If that bastard Tang didn't take action, he could hardly think of any solution.

Just when Clark was feeling desperate, Bruce was suddenly stunned.

Bruce then patted Clark's arm hard and said.

“Go find the wizard of Kamar-Taj, Clark!

As long as they open a portal to the bottom of the sea in Los Angeles, the fire will be stopped immediately!

You are the fastest among us, so we are relying on you for this!"

"I see!"

After hearing Bruce's plan, Clark nodded desperately, and then turned into a puff of dust.

In order to pursue the fastest speed, he didn't even rely on the armor to fly, but sprinted on the ground with his own feet!
Indeed, his sprinting speed was much faster than mechanically powered flight.

After only about three minutes of sprinting, Clark himself arrived in New York!
Even when the hurricane he led passed by the Osborn Group, he shouted at Downton on the street who continued to take the children to the expo and chat with Norman Osborn himself.

"Donton, you're a fucking bastard!!!"

The sound gradually faded away, but it was extremely loud, and Norman Osborn also heard it.

Osborne, who had just met Downton, was slightly stunned, then asked Downton curiously.

“What was that just now…?”

"Haha, that guy is my oldest son, it's a pity that he doesn't understand me as his godfather~"

Donton teased and then emphasized to Norman.

"Stop talking to me, man, and show me your bottom line.

How much money can be compensated? Don't use any nonsense, just give me a number!"

"Please rest assured, Mr. Downton, Osborn Enterprises will never let down a hero who saves New York.

All the mistakes were caused by our company's slightly aging display cabinets, so our company will never ignore its social responsibility.

I am willing to provide the Parker and Stacey families with over $5 million in compensation and to cover all tuition for their children until graduation.

In addition, we can even provide excellent jobs for the two children in the future, and Osborne Enterprises absolutely welcomes these two little geniuses who are interested in science.

I wonder if Mr. Tang can accept this solution?"

"You have to pay more, man, I made a big promise in front of my friends!
Your fucking spider almost killed my friend's son and daughter, and they are my godson and goddaughter!

Norman, you don't think I'm a fucking superhero, do you?

My hero, your mother, go ask the people who died at my hands, my godson and goddaughter are only worth five million!!!"

"Then we will provide two more villas in high-end communities in New York, and five luxury vehicles with different functions for each household.

If it’s not enough, you can add more, I…”

"That's not the fucking point, man. The point is that I'm also psychologically damaged. I'm worried sick, you know?"

"OK, we will also provide you with 20 million..."

"I'm not short of money, man!"

"How about this, Mr. Tang? I have a private party at the end of the month. Can you come with me?"

"You did a damn good job, Norman, maybe we can become friends, haha~"

Donton put his arm around Norman's shoulders with satisfaction, while Norman pursed his lips uncomfortably, trying to cope with Donton's enthusiasm.

While Downton was talking about this and that...

Clark finally arrived at the building that Downton had taken them to.

That is the Kamar-Taj temple hidden in New York.

He had just arrived at the entrance of the temple when the Ancient One, dressed in loose casual clothes, came towards Clark.

Seeing Ancient One, Clark breathed a sigh of relief, then quickly spoke to Ancient One.

"Master Ancient One, I'm Clark. There's been a catastrophic fire in Los Angeles, and the local citizens need rescue!"

“I know, Clark, I know, but Kamar-Taj never gets involved in anything like this.

Because Los Angeles is not all of humanity, and it is not the magicians who should save Los Angeles. Shouldn't it be the job of the American government?"

"Mage?!!"

At this moment, Clark was completely stunned. He looked at the ruthless Ancient One in disbelief.

Facing Clark's shocked eyes, Master Ancient One took a deep breath as if in silence, and then spoke.

“As I said, Clark, it is only after a disaster that humans learn to be vigilant.

Kamar-Taj has existed for thousands of years, and our mission is not to save every individual, but to save the Earth itself and humanity as a whole.

The Los Angeles fire was a man-made disaster, my friends from another world, and man-made disasters have a stance, but Kamar-Taj has no stance! "

Having said that, Ancient One clasped his hands together, and Clark immediately disappeared from in front of Ancient One.

The next moment, Clark was slightly stunned...

How...how did I end up back in Los Angeles?

On the side, Bruce was slightly startled when he saw Clark suddenly appear.

"Clark, how did you show up? Is Don willing to help?"

“No, no one can help us anymore, because Tang and Gu Yi both think that the people of Los Angeles and the California government should save themselves!
What they said may make sense, but...but I can't accept it, I...damn it, I should have done more!!!"

At this moment, Clark wailed and his eyes instinctively turned red.

At the same time, Bruce felt the air around him vibrate slightly.

immediately……

The ground beneath Clark's feet suddenly cracked.

He himself flew into the sky!
