Martin Variety in American Comics.

Chapter 555: Keep it simple (Please subscribe and read, monthly ticket recommendation!)
“I don’t think this battle will be too difficult.”

With his mind at full power, Goodman's psychic powers can cover several floors, sensing the thoughts and emotions of all the gorilla soldiers in the cage.

He had thought that coming to a place like a palace would suppress his spiritual power.

But the numbers on the elevator screen kept jumping up, and his mental strength remained the same, and it could be said that he was not affected at all.

"There are very few apes in this city who can use telekinesis. They are all members of the ruling class. Even if they are researching things that can suppress telekinesis, they are only small-scale machines. They will not develop large-scale control or lethal weapons."

Everyone quickly understood what Martin meant.

Since the use of psychic power is a symbol of the ruling class, they would not seek weapons that could destroy this symbol.

Even if they want to plan to seize power in secret, what they come up with will be more like the helmet that Magneto wears in the X-Men to defend against Professor X's mind control, rather than directly setting up a force field weapon that can filter psychic power.

"It's a good thing that the enemy is too stupid. We can save a lot of energy when we act, and we don't have to be forced to kill people."

Barry was very happy, he liked people like this who were not very good.

Not only are low-level people easier to deal with in combat, they are also easier to control.

If the opponent is of high skill, even if Barry wants to spare their lives, he may not be able to stop once the fight really starts.

"Get ready!"

Martin did not take the gorilla soldiers seriously. He started thinking about what he should say when he met the king.

Although King Sorowa was once a person who advocated hiding in the ape city and living his own life.

But the person who can sit in the king's position is definitely not a fool. The arrival of the Justice League and Savage to this place one after another will inevitably break the tranquility of the city and force the king to make other choices.

At this time, can King Sorowa still make the same decision as before?
Martin didn't know what decision the king would make, but he was prepared for both scenarios.

If Sorowa chooses peace, then both sides will naturally be safe and coexist peacefully.

But if he wanted to take advantage of the fight between the Justice League and Savage to fish in troubled waters, Martin would have to take ruthless action to directly destroy Gorilla City's ability to participate in the war.

……

"Everyone, hold your weapons. I have received a report that a human has broken into our city and is planning to harm the king."

General Avarok, wearing heavy armor, noticed something unusual happening on the ground floor of the palace and immediately ordered his soldiers to block off every floor, ready to kill any enemy that entered without permission.

However, when he issued the order, the guards responsible for protecting the king were to cut off all access to the upper floors, only to find that the elevator system was out of their control.

No matter what the apes in the monitoring room did, the computers in their hands seemed to have no such function and could not have any effect on the rising elevator.

"Cut the elevator cables and blow up the elevator shaft leading to His Majesty's room. These foreign thugs must not be allowed to contact His Majesty."

When Avarok heard the report from his men, his expression was solemn, and he immediately made a decisive decision.

Although doing so might cause panic in Orangutan City afterwards, the palace, which symbolized the king's authority, had never been attacked since the city was founded.

But Avarok no longer cared about that.

The arrow is on the string and must be shot!
The general looked at the gorilla that appeared in the last surveillance footage in the elevator and immediately recognized its identity.

As Grodd's close comrade-in-arms, he has a deep connection with the Zhaqi side and has seen many investigative reports on the Justice League.

As a gorilla, of course he cares about the non-humans in the Justice League.

For example, Goodman who appeared in Nova City, the gorilla detective, and Kryptonian dog Little Krypton beside Superman...

The moment he saw Goodman, Avalok knew that the Justice League had deployed real power to interfere with the development of Gorilla City.

The troop that rushed into the Gorilla City before was just a small skirmish.

So he ordered his soldiers to resist firmly and never let the Justice League get in touch with Sowaro.

At the same time, he also sent a message to Grodd, who was hunting down the Justice League forces.

"We have fallen into the enemy's trap. Their real target is Sovalo, please return!"

Boom!

An explosion instantly resounded throughout the palace. A huge shock wave destroyed the elevator shaft's ascending passage. Flames rushed out from the cracks in the palace, instantly burning the plants attached to the walls into torches, allowing the entire Gorilla City to see it very clearly.

The steel cable hanging the elevator exploded with a bang, and the elevator body dropped rapidly, even causing a phenomenon of weightlessness inside.

All the gorilla soldiers from the bottom to the middle level were blocking the elevator door, waiting for the elevator to crash directly into the bottom floor or for the enemies attacking the palace to rush out from one of the elevator entrances.

These armored gorillas were very nervous. Each of them stared at the elevator door in front of them with wide eyes, listening to the sharp sound of the elevator and the guide rails getting closer and closer.

It felt like the Grim Reaper's scythe was getting closer and closer, and they could do nothing but wait in vain.

"Don't panic. They are just some stupid humans. We can handle them. For King Sorowa!"

Officers on every floor comforted their men in this way, using the king to boost the courage in their hearts.

But the officers who had received formal military training in academies knew that Gorilla City had never experienced a real war.

If it is a normal human-like fight, the gorillas are not afraid at all. They have seen many humans and studied their tactics and methods, so they have some idea of what they are doing.

But faced with superhumans like the Justice League, the apes don't know what to do.

Although they are also superhumans in a sense, compared with the Justice League, they are still ordinary people and are completely inadequate.

After all, a head-on confrontation between superhumans is purely a matter of hard power, and if you can't beat them, you can't beat them.

If a pervert like the Joker wants to defeat people like Superman and Batman, he can only start with the people around him and will not do anything to them themselves.

In fact, this has indirectly shown that Superman and Batman are indestructible in some aspects.

During this anxious wait, the apes stared at the sound of the elevator descending, gradually approaching them and then gradually moving away.

They breathed a sigh of relief and secretly thanked God that they did not have to face these unknown enemies, but then a question arose in their minds.

What should I do next?
Soon the falling elevator crashed into the underground floor. The energy that fell from hundreds of meters high accumulated together and exploded at the moment of impact with the ground, causing the entire building to vibrate for a few seconds.

But even after going several floors underground, the new type of soldiers did not encounter any foreign invaders jumping out from the elevator entrance or other places.

"Could it be that these outsiders were killed directly by the falling elevator?"

This joyful question appeared in the minds of the apes, but before the relationship that made them happy could be confirmed, worse news came.

"The invaders have already rushed to the top floor. Everyone gather there immediately. Quickly..." The voice of the senior executive calling for help stopped abruptly before he could finish the words.

All the apes were stunned for a moment, and then they realized that the outsiders were actually using the falling elevator as a cover to attract their attention.

However, these people had already left the elevator and launched a surprise attack on the upper floors from another direction.

……

Swish!
When the elevator door opened, the gorilla soldiers who thought Martin and the others were falling to the bottom floor saw yellow lightning suddenly appear in front of them.

Then, before they felt severe pain in any of their joints, the entire gorilla had already flown up and hit the 6-meter-high ceiling directly.

Their armor was also removed somehow and they fell to the ground, unable to get up again.

Within 1 second, Barry removed the armor from all the apes in the corridor, dismantled all the weapons and traps, and broke the joints of the apes' hands and feet, leaving them lying on the ground.

Despite this, the apes continued to struggle to stand up and showed no intention of surrendering.

“This passion to keep going is quite admirable.”

Martin climbed out of the elevator shaft, looked at the ape crawling on the ground like a worm, and clapped his hands softly.

"It's a pity that these apes have no idea what they are doing."

Goodman crawled out behind Martin, and both he and the green snake appeared.

At this point, they didn't care about the need to be invisible and just started fighting.

"Grudd and his gang are quite capable. They were able to trick the guards trained by Sovalo into this state."

Martin knew that Grodd had always acted as an intelligent being in the original timeline, but when he saw these ignorant apes, he still felt that they were very capable.

"Let them faint. They don't have to face what happens next. This can be considered a form of kindness to these gorillas."

Goodman nodded, put his hands on his head, and his mental power emitted waves.

The gorillas who originally wanted to eat Martin rolled their eyes and fainted.

"I knocked out all the enemies on this floor and cleared out all the weapons and traps."

"But the enemy should have discovered our strategy of making a feint to the east and attacking in the west. A large number of gorillas are heading up there."

The gorilla flashed back to the crowd and reported his results to Martin.

There were quite a few gorillas on this floor, and the armor and weapons they were equipped with were not low-level, but it was nothing to him.

"Let's continue to move upwards. Don't worry about the gorillas below. They are just cannon fodder. There is no point in getting entangled with them."

Martin looked up at the ceiling and asked Goodman beside him, "Is there anyone above us?"

"Of course, and quite a few!"

Goodman closed his eyes and sensed for a while, then said: "These people all obey a general named Avarok. They are all eager to fight and look like they are determined to defend Sovalo to the death."

"This Groot is really resourceful. He can fool people just by using words. I can feel that the minds of these apes have not been disturbed in any way."

Although psychic power is invisible, people who are disturbed by it will show consistent characteristics to some extent.

This characteristic can be said to be left behind by people who use psychic powers, or it can be seen as a manifestation of the spirit of those affected.

"Gruud is right. One of the leaders of these apes wouldn't be in this position if he wasn't quite capable."

Martin kept his eyes on the ceiling and finally stopped.

“It’s right here!”

He snapped his fingers, and a golden light appeared in front of him. The temperature continued to rise, and waves of heat bulged outward, and then golden flames burned in the air.

These flames should have spread outward with the heat wave, but under Martin's control they remained together and turned into a fireball as wide as his shoulders.

"what are you up to?"

The green snake looked at the golden fireball in Martin's hand, not understanding what he was doing.

As a snake, she did not like the heat and fire.

"Open a direct path to our goal. I have no interest in getting entangled with those minions."

"Go away!"

Martin put his hands in a volleyball-hitting posture and threw the golden fireball emitting high temperature vertically in front of him.

In an instant, a big hole was melted in the ceiling above his head, and the gorilla standing on it was burned to ashes.

When the fireball broke through the ceiling, the accumulated flames inside exploded instantly, turning into a pillar of fire that went straight through the ceiling of the palace, creating a hole in this magnificent palace.

The flames dispersed randomly after breaking through the palace, but the temperature in the air did not drop.

Martin completely ignored all of this and jumped up with his legs. It was as if his feet were equipped with springs. He jumped directly onto the 6-meter-high ceiling and kept going up.

The shortest of these gorillas is over 2 meters tall. According to the principle that a room should be at least twice as high as the occupants, a height of six meters is only average for the gorillas.

The gorillas that were startled by the flames quickly recovered. When they saw someone jumping out from below, they opened fire directly, and all kinds of light crackled and shot towards the dark shadow.

"Lao Gu, at what level is your spiritual power restricted?"

Martin opened the colorful wings of the snake god behind him and blocked all the attacks.

Although he was no longer in America, Quetzalcoatl's authority was no problem for him to deal with these minor attacks.

“At the top!”

Goodman did not expect that Martin would use such a simple and crude method to clear the way.

But on second thought, although this method is too rough, they are not guests, so why should they be so polite?

"Hurry up and follow them. Don't get entangled with these soldiers."

After Martin determined the opponent's position, he waved the colorful wings around him, and slapped away all the gorillas that blocked his way like two big palms, and then flew directly to the top floor.
