Chapter 1102 Black Beetle

Black Beetle was somewhat frustrated. His original mission was to raid the Nakvergi factory, destroy their achievements, kill all the Nakvergi who witnessed his rampage, and finally frame the Earthlings.

If this plan proceeds as intended, it will create enmity between Earth and the Nakvergi, allowing them to join forces with Earthlings to expel the Nakvergi, and ultimately Earth will belong to them again.

However, after his raid on the Nakvergi factory, he found that there were no staff members or even a single guard on site. If it weren't for the mission to destroy the site, his punch would have been as useless as hitting cotton.

'Fine, even if it only ruins the insects' work, it's still good.'

While trying to reassure itself, the black beetle continued to destroy everything in its path with its pulse cannon.

However, what Black Beetle didn't know was that the reason the grain factory didn't have anyone on site was because there was simply nothing to protect.

These crops, which appear to be the result of scientific research, were actually all ripened by swamp fire, and the seeds were all bought from Smallwell's farm. There was nothing of real value in them.

Since there was nothing important, there was naturally no value in guarding it. So every night, Nachi would lock the factory gates and go home to sleep.

This has been the case for about a month, so no matter when the black beetles come, they will only break in. After all, even if all the crops are destroyed, Yang Le can still take the seeds and make a few 'products' on the spot.

If Black Beetle knew all this, he might collapse. After all, he had been planning this for a long time. He was not going to attack primitive Earthlings, but an unknown race with the ability to traverse the universe, so he naturally had to be careful.

However, the lucky black beetle was unaware of all this; he simply raised the pulse cannon in his left hand and continued to destroy everything around him until someone stopped him.

"Stop! You dung beetle wasting food!"

Black Beetle smiled when he heard the voice behind him, but the smile disappeared when he turned around. He thought it was the group of Nakvergi people who had arrived, but when he turned around, he only saw a group of Earthlings dressed in strange clothes.

"What's with that expression?" Pulse was annoyed by the black beetle's disappointed look.

"Clearly, my expression is one of disappointment." The black beetle turned and stood still. "Didn't expect you primitive humans to be unable to understand even facial expressions?"

Pulse frowned slightly, and the next second it disappeared from its spot, turning into a streak of light that circled around the black beetle.

"Didn't the Reach say that there are no more Scarab Warriors?" Robin was not angered by the Black Beetle's words. Instead, he quietly turned on the recording device and began to try to get information out of the latter.

However, the black beetle seemed to know Robin's plan. Instead of speaking, it took a step forward, and at the same time, its scarab suit began to change.

Seeing this, Robin knew that the other side was about to launch an attack, and immediately shouted, "The Reach insectoids want to destroy the Nakverge's achievements! Young Justice League, move out and stop them!"

As mentioned before, Robin has already started recording, and everything recorded now will become evidence in court, so he naturally wants to leave as much evidence as possible in the video.

When the Pulse, which was running in circles, heard Robin shout that it was finally time to launch an attack. It couldn't wait any longer and immediately circled around to the black beetle's blind spot and attacked.

"The rotten meat's attack method is always the same." The black beetle said inexplicably, then turned around and grabbed the pulse that had not yet slowed down in full view of everyone.

This move stunned everyone present. Although Pulse's speed hadn't reached the level of The Flash, everyone knew from testing that he was one of the fastest people on Earth, with a top speed even surpassing that of Kid Flash.

Yet, the Black Beetle managed to catch this incredibly fast pulse with its bare hands, creating a visual impact comparable to Superman catching up with the Flash. "My Scarab's supercomputer can easily calculate your attack location."

The black beetle looked disdainfully at the pulse struggling in its palm, turned its free left hand into a pulse cannon, and aimed at the pulse to fire.

"Pulse! Vibrate faster!"

Lightning Boy called out to Pulse to use the vibration to escape, and at the same time, he turned into a streak of light and rushed towards the black beetle. After him, Artemis also drew her bow and shot an arrow, and the three arrows flew out almost at the same time.

Upon hearing the warning, Pulse forced itself to calm down and began to vibrate its own molecules, attempting to pass through the black beetle's right hand, which the latter sneered at.

"It's no use, scarabs also have the ability to control density."

As he spoke, the black beetle didn't turn his head and let the three arrows fall on him. The three explosive arrows exploded one after another. Because of the pulse, Artemis did not use the most powerful explosive arrow.

"Completely unharmed." Artemis bit her pink lips. Even after being hit by three explosive arrows, the blue beetle would have to take several steps back, but this black beetle in front of her didn't even flinch.

“He’s much stronger than Blue Beetle,” Robin concluded immediately, then turned on his communication device to call for backup.

Upon seeing this, the black beetle raised its two antennae on its shoulders, and then Robin discovered that his microcomputer had gone black.

"It's him!" The Martian girl's vision was far superior to that of the Kryptonians. "The black beetle's tentacles are constantly emitting electromagnetic waves, just like EMP."

Robin quickly checked the recording equipment on his body, and sure enough, it was also malfunctioning.

"It seems you're trying to record evidence." Black Beetle, clutching Pulse, looked at Robin and the others. "But don't worry, I won't give you that chance."

Black Beetle decided to change the mission, altering the order of killing the Nakvergi and framing the Earthlings.

Since the Nakvergi can't be found, killing these Earth superheroes in their factory and framing them would have a similar effect, both of which would incite a conflict between the two sides.

Having made up his mind, Black Beetle immediately activated the pulse cannon in his right hand, but was spotted by the Martian girl who had been observing him. The latter fired out her thermal vision first, and two crimson beams of light struck the pulse cannon, forcibly shifting the position of the barrel.

"boom!"

The pulse cannonball grazed Pulse's hair and blasted into the strawberry field beside him. Countless red fruits exploded and splattered onto the two of them, looking like chunks of blood and flesh, which was quite intimidating.

Pulse subconsciously licked the fruit from the corner of its mouth. Hmm, it's quite sweet.

"Now is not the time to be greedy!"

Because of their spiritual connection, all the members of the Young Justice League present knew what Pulse was thinking. Stargirl, speechless, yelled at him and then charged at Black Beetle with her Star Staff.
