The Comprehensive Evolution of American Comics.

Chapter 1049

Just like a normal street fight usually lasts no more than five or six minutes, battles between superhumans are also fleeting.

Just like the fight between Connor and his rival, which only lasted two or three minutes.

The whole mission is like an old Monster Hunter game: half an hour to find monsters, ten minutes to fight them, highlighting that the output and travel time are not proportional.

Connor used his super hearing to listen to the other's heartbeat, and then used his X-ray vision to check the latter's brain and heart condition, before confirming that the latter had indeed passed out.

After confirming, Connor quickly adjusted the Super Bracelet back to 70%, and the incessant sounds in his ears finally disappeared.

Connor breathed a sigh of relief, bent down and hoisted the enemy onto his shoulder. After using his X-ray vision to confirm Yang Le's location, he walked towards the enemy.

After circling around a few times, Connor found himself back at the entrance, where Yang Le was waiting for him.

"Solved? Pretty quick." Yang Le straightened up and walked over to Connor in a few steps, looking at the clone, whom the latter was carrying on his shoulder, that was called his "rival."

In terms of physique and appearance, Pidgeon looks almost exactly like Connor; at first glance, it's hard to tell the difference.

"Put him on the ground first, and I'll give him a quick check-up."

Connor obediently placed the enemy on the ground, and Yang Le took the opportunity to press the Omnitrix. After a flash of white light, he transformed into a little soldier.

Even if the little soldier grows up, his height will not exceed an adult's knee, so Yang Le doesn't need to bend over; he can complete the examination simply by looking down.

Indeed, judging by appearance alone, he is comparable to Connor, just like Superman Clark when he was a child.

The outfit he was wearing was the same one Connor wore at the Cadmus Institute: a pure white bodysuit with only the red "S" logo belonging to Superman printed on the chest.

The bodysuit was now tattered, revealing the muscle lines that resembled works of art, which made it easier for the little soldier to inspect it.

The little soldier first took out a test tube from his waist bag, collected some of the opponent's blood, then patted the latter's muscles with his fingers, and then pried open its eyelids.

Finally, the little soldier used the Omnitrix hanging on his body to scan the enemy and drew a conclusion after its analysis.

"Luther is indeed dishonest. His body contains 80% Kryptonians, 12% Martians, and the last 8% Earthlings."

"Based on the analysis, it can be concluded that the Kryptonian gene provider is Superman, the Martian is Martian Manhunter, and the last human on Earth should be Lex Luthor himself."

This is truly a terrifying combination. If Luther's skills were more advanced, he might be able to create an advanced predator.

The most direct result of this immature cloning technology is that Pidge's body is full of defects, and without treatment, he may only have about a year to live.

After Yang Le finished the examination, he placed the results directly in front of Connor. Judging from the latter's expression, he had never expected such a result.

"Can you save him?" Connor knew his request was a bit unreasonable, but he couldn't help but ask.

Does Yang Le have the ability to save his rival? Of course he does. He can even cure the Omnitrix, an evolved human whose genes are so badly damaged that they can't reproduce due to rampant inbreeding. Curing a mere clone would be a piece of cake for him.

However, Yang Le was not prepared to do so, because matching the enemy was far too dangerous.

While Connor was fighting, Yang Le wasn't idle either. Two or three minutes was enough time for him to use the shapeshifter to collect all the data from the base's mainframe.

Although Luther has erased all the data, there's always a way. Even if Luther smashed the computer, Yang Le could restore it using Clock King, let alone the fact that he didn't smash it. The Shapeshifter alone would be enough to repair the data.

After reviewing the materials, Yang Le also discovered the biggest difference between Connor and Pierce.

That is, Connor was cloned with the purpose of replacing Superman, while Rival was created as a weapon.

In order to perfectly replace Superman, Connor's education also included computer-simulated moral education to become like Superman.

This is why Robin and his friends were able to turn Connor to their side with just a few words, because a seed of kindness like Clark's had been planted in his heart.

Although the indoctrination was not perfect, it was enough to help Connor make the right choice.

However, that's not the case with Pidgeon. This liar Luther wasn't telling the truth. Pidgeon's problem wasn't that his brain couldn't accept the indoctrination of knowledge, but rather that he had been exposed to too much brutality before his brain had matured, and he went insane.

Immature cloning technology, coupled with the eagerness of his subordinates to achieve quick results, led to the creation of a peerless company.

Yang Le can cure Pidge, but after that, the latter's established values ​​will only create another Superman in this universe. No, Pidge might be even more brutal than Superman.

Saving Pidi is no different from saving a supervillain.

As for using brainwashing to solve the problem of values ​​that rivals? That's ridiculous. Brainwashing has never actually worked in the American comic book universe.

Whether it's the villains brainwashing the heroes or vice versa, keeping a brainwashed person by your side is like carrying a time bomb, and Yang Le has no interest in that.

The memory of the senior's death is still vivid in my mind.

After considering everything, Yang Le could only shake his head. Connor, for some reason, felt relieved to receive this answer that should have been disappointing.

He probably didn't even realize that he would find living more difficult, especially as a life that shouldn't have been born.

"Let the Justice League handle the rest." Yang Le said, taking out his communication device. However, he didn't dial immediately; instead, he looked at Connor.

"Connor, there's something I need to ask you."

"whats the matter?"

What Yang Le said next surprised Connor.

"I hope you won't tell the Justice League members about anything related to Luthor."

“This…” Connor was stunned. “Why is this?”

"I'll tell you the details when we get to the new base. In short, if you want to get rid of Luther's control, you can't go wrong by listening to me."

Connor hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded. Although he didn't know Yang Le's specific purpose, he felt that listening to the other party was definitely the right thing to do.

Even Connor himself didn't realize that in his heart, Yang Le's status had unknowingly reached the same level as Superman's.
