The mechanical craze in Marvel

“Superman, I think this is our first meeting, but I don’t think it will be our last. I’ve come here today to say hello and see just how powerful you really are.”

When Locke heard that Zhou Xuan was drawing Superman Clark, he was shocked that the other party would say such a thing so openly. He never thought that there would be anyone in this world who wanted to face him directly and insist on his power. In his opinion, it was simply impossible, because no one in this world dared to appear in front of him directly and say such a thing.

To try and see just how powerful he really was was utterly ridiculous to him, but Superman Clark didn't laugh out loud. As a professional superhero, he looked at Nolan Locke and said:

"Collector, lay down your weapons and surrender!"

I don't want to fight you, because I wouldn't be able to control my strength, and I think you would feel a lot of pain then.

The collector before him was not a particularly remarkable person. Although he had stolen a lot of things, he had not killed anyone. This was a significant difference for Superman Clark. Although he was hesitant to make a decision, he would never kill even the most heinous person.

However, there are still some differences. For a Collector who didn't kill but merely stole, he naturally wouldn't harbor much hatred. After all, stealing and killing are completely different concepts, and Superman Clark also has his own theory of moral judgment. Moreover, he guided the Collectors in their actions through some information. Although it was somewhat troublesome, the problems he caused weren't too great because he knew that these people had more or less some connection with some of his villains.

Not many people remember these things, but they are not a big secret for Superman Clark. After all, his abilities are so powerful that he can naturally investigate a lot of information that others don't need to know. For him, this information is of no use and he will not take the law into his own hands, but it is enough for him.

So he initially had no intention of collecting them, but it was clear that the Collector on the other side did not. Nolan Locke's eyes were very firm. His purpose in coming here was to establish a stopover with Prairie Clarke. If he gave up this purpose, then there would be no point in him coming here. So Nolan Locke did not reply at all. He simply raised the battle knife in his hand. He knew that Superman Clarke's skin was indestructible.

In other words, he might not be able to destroy his opponent with his sword, but the single-edged sword was his most proficient weapon. Before engaging in hand-to-hand combat, he wanted to show Superman Clark what he was capable of with his sword, so the next second Nolan Locke charged directly at Superman Clark without any hesitation.

In that instant, Superman Clark finally understood why Nolan Locke dared to do this; the opponent's speed was simply too fast, so fast that even he was amazed.

Just then, Nolan Locke appeared in front of Superman Clark and suddenly swung his sword down at him. Superman Clark's expression changed instantly upon seeing this attack.

Without any hesitation, he struck at Nolan Locke's wrist, trying to block the blow. Although he was very confident in his body's indestructibility, he had no intention of blocking the attack.

Chapter 431 An Explosive Battle

Superman is incredibly fast, and he is not without combat experience. However, most of his battles don't require much skill, as his strength and speed are simply too terrifying. No one can survive against his power and speed.

Under such circumstances, there's naturally no need to use any combat techniques; these techniques pose no threat to him whatsoever. Therefore, the simplest way for Superman to fight is through sheer force and practicality. Nolan Locke is well aware of this, knowing full well that Superman Clark's power is something he cannot match at all.

Its only advantage is that it can use various skills to contend with Superman Clark. Of course, it is also somewhat unconvinced, after all, the system it possesses is definitely the biggest. For it, having its own system makes its strength extremely powerful.

Over this long period of time, he has rarely encountered any opponents. Even when facing Superman, he doesn't think he will lose by much. Although he can't unleash his full power yet, since the power he uses is not only physical but also magical, he can still use it due to certain issues.

With his incredibly powerful body, he believed that even in a physical confrontation, he would not be much weaker than Clark. Therefore, he did not open the lesson at all, but instead put it in a small box. If it were unavoidable, he would not stay behind, but now he would definitely not back down in front of Superman Clark and would take the lead in using the strange stone.

At that moment, Superman Clark attacked Nolan Locke directly. Nolan Locke's hands were swift; his strength came not only from his powerful physique but also from his considerable combat skills. Under these circumstances, Nolan undoubtedly dodged Superman Clarke's attack. However, the full power of this strike was thus not unleashed.

Even so, the blow landed squarely on Superman Clark, but just as Nolan Locke had expected, it didn't have much effect. After all, Superman Clark's strength was simply too great, and his skin was indestructible.

It wouldn't be easy to hurt him, but even knowing this, a hint of regret flashed in Nolan Locke's eyes. He thought that his power could break through Super Sonic Clark's defenses with this strike, but it would definitely not be meaningless.

However, reality still made him realize that the power surpassing Clark might be even greater than he had imagined; at least, Clark's defensive strength was significantly greater than his own. Nevertheless, Nolan Locke didn't hesitate; he had ultimately failed to unleash his full power, falling short by a considerable margin.

He would never make the same mistake again. The two began fighting once more. Everything around them seemed to turn into tofu. No one could withstand the terrifying power of the aftershocks of their battle. Everything around them was shattered. Whether it was a tall building or a skyscraper, anything that came into contact with the two would be completely destroyed without exception.

In fact, Superman Clark was also extremely surprised at this moment. He had never imagined that Nolan Locke's power had reached such a level. Before this, he had heard of the Collector's existence, and his impression of the Collector was just a thief who liked to steal things and whose purpose was unknown.

So he wanted to capture Nolan Locke and imprison him. He didn't care much about the rest. But the power Nolan Locke was unleashing was something he had never imagined. He could easily defeat most of his opponents in most battles without even having to do anything.

Because his physical defenses are invincible, no one can activate them, so he won't get hurt. He can easily grab any enemy he encounters without any resistance. But now, Nolan Locke's power is truly astounding, shocking him with its strength.

Although he was still somewhat inferior in terms of raw strength, the opponent's terrifying skills made it impossible for them to gain the upper hand for a moment. However, this ignited a competitive spirit in him; he also wanted to see just how powerful he truly was.

However, they had never had such an opportunity until now, and the appearance of Nolan Locke provided a chance to prove their strength. Although the two fought very intensely, the destructive power they caused was also extremely severe. As the battle escalated, both Nolan Locke and Superman Clark found it increasingly difficult to control its scale, and many areas were affected by their combined attack. Under their influence, no one survived.

Soon, Lian's actions became known, and corresponding countermeasures were taken.

For those who witnessed their actions, it was a terrible situation, as the battle between the two was simply too intense; their terrifying fighting abilities instilled a sense of despair in everyone. This was especially true for those who had once harbored thoughts of confronting Superman Clark.

Superman Clark has always been a huge problem. They know of his existence, and some even want to take action against him. Some have even already done so, though not openly. But the current situation has revealed the truth in their eyes. The battle between the two is truly terrifying. If their battle can reach this level...

They simply couldn't imagine who could stop the two if they were to do something to destroy the Earth. Under such circumstances, they even started suggesting whether to use nuclear weapons to kill the two without harming anyone. However, such a suggestion was naturally rejected, after all, Metropolis was one of the world's top metropolises.

Dropping a nuclear bomb on such a place would be an extremely huge blow to the entire world. No one could bear such a price. However, even so, many people suggested taking this opportunity to kill all the hunters with missiles to avoid future trouble. However, not many people support this idea.

After all, the power emanating from the two is simply too formidable. Whether the missiles can defeat them is still unknown, and they are currently engaged in battle, the outcome of which is uncertain. Under these circumstances, rashly intervening is not a wise choice for them. While they have some understanding of Superman Clark, they have little concept of the Collector who is fighting against him.

Moreover, not only that, for many people, although the battle between the two was fierce, they did not think that the two were incapable of handling each other. Just as they had thought before, at least a nuclear bomb would definitely be able to take them down, after all, in their eyes, nuclear weapons were the most powerful thing in the world.

No one can survive a nuclear attack, so they weren't particularly worried. As long as they controlled the nuclear button, any crisis could be resolved. Rewinding was also a viable solution, though these methods came at a heavy price. Therefore, no one was willing to intervene. Watching the two fight was, in a way, quite entertaining, though it might not improve their mood significantly. But at least they had no other choice now.

Besides these military personnel, Batman also received intelligence about the two men's battle, and he witnessed the horrific disaster caused by their fight.

His face became very ugly.

At this time, he hadn't had much contact with Superman yet. Although they had met briefly a few times, there hadn't been much in-depth communication. Under these circumstances, he naturally had no complaints about Superman.

After all, although he knew that Superman's power was very strong, he didn't have a specific concept of how far Superman's power had spread, because although Superman had done a lot of things and demonstrated a lot of power, he had not demonstrated enough power to make the whole world tremble.

But now, Batman Bruce Wayne is experiencing for the first time what true terror is. For the first time, he begins to ponder the extent to which such an existence could wreak havoc on Earth.

He plans to impose some restrictions on Superman, at least to prepare for Superman to fight against Earth.

Meanwhile, another person was extremely excited.

Lex Luthor had been observing the battle between Superman Clark and Bruland Locke.

After Nolan Locke left, he had been observing the situation, wanting to know what the other party planned to do after obtaining these lessons. He knew that the other party would definitely make a move against Superman, but he never expected that Nolan Locke would act so quickly. He thought that the other party would lie low for a while.

So although he was paying attention, he didn't invest too much effort in motivating him. But he never expected that Nolan Locke would make a move that very day, and even more so, he used his domineering superhuman powers to restrain him. Watching the battle between the two, X Ru Se's face showed a hint of excitement, which he could see.

Although others were fighting, the Collector had no right to intervene because he hadn't yet used the lessons he'd been given. Once the opponent unleashed their lessons, Superman Clark would be at a severe disadvantage, as the power of lessons was effective against Superman. Few knew this secret, but coincidentally, he was one of them, and he had made countless preparations to rely on the power of lessons to contend with Superman. Under these circumstances, he certainly knew the true extent of the power of the lessons he had given to the superhero Nolan Locke.

However, he also felt a sense of apprehension towards Superman Clark, whose power was extremely terrifying and strong. But he had to admit that Superman Clark had certain principles and possessed such great power. However, he could use his strength to deal with him. But the appearance of this new Collector made him feel a sense of fear.

The reason is very simple: the other party possesses immense power but lacks the weakness of a time-traveling technique. Moreover, it is unclear whether this collector has any bottom line. If there is no bottom line, then facing such a terrifying existence, the entire Earth would likely face enormous trouble.

However, these things are no longer his concern. Although this matter is important to him, it is not something he can design. All he can do now is observe the battle between the two and see the outcome. No matter what, the result of this battle will be beneficial to him.

Neither of them were good people to him anyway, and he didn't want to have too much contact with either of them. If one of them could die today, it would be a very good thing for him.

However, he still had some unusual thoughts. If he had previously hoped for Superman Clark's death, now he hoped for the Collector's death for a very simple reason: as he had said before, Superman Clark's strength had its limits. But the Collector might not be like that. Under such circumstances, he naturally hoped that a strong person who could be restrained by him and had limits would survive, while the strong person without limits would be better off dead.

Countless people were watching the battle closely, but none of that mattered to Nolan Locke. His eyes gleamed with increasing excitement. Superman Clark's power was simply too immense. Hadn't he already unleashed his power, even using a massive amount of technology points to unleash all his potential?

However, when facing Superman Clark, he was still undoubtedly at a disadvantage. This is the power of Superman, the most powerful force in the world!

"This is an extremely exciting power. If possible, I hope to have the opportunity to fight you again next time."

Nolan Locke didn't want to continue fighting.

No, it should be said that he wanted to fight, but couldn't continue.

……

Chapter 432 Freshmen

Lolock had already felt his body. Given Daji's current situation, he no longer wanted to continue interacting with Superman Clark. Continuing the stalemate with Clark would not benefit him. He had already achieved his goal of witnessing Superman Clark's power, and continuing the fight would only be a futile drain on his body.

But for the god-like Clark, how could he let Nolan Locke leave him so easily? Looking at Nolan in front of him, Locke finally showed a hint of anger in his eyes. He was not willing to let Nolan Locke leave so easily, so he unleashed his even stronger speed without hesitation.

It wasn't until this moment that Nolan Locke realized with horror that Superman Clark hadn't actually unleashed his full power before. Now, his power was even able to increase once again, which was enough to prove that what Superman Clark had shown before was not his full potential. Nolan Locke wasn't even sure if he had unleashed his full potential yet. After the appearance of Vibranium and Zhang Li, Nolan Locke felt a strong sense of excitement.

For him, witnessing a true opponent is an extremely difficult thing. After all, he has seen too many enemies, but these enemies were not too difficult for him. Not everyone can fight against him. Now he will fight against someone who surpasses Norak.

For the first time, he experienced what it meant to be evenly matched, even being subtly suppressed. This was despite Nolan Locke using all his power; the fact that this could still happen was proof enough of Superman Clark's immense strength. But now, Superman Clark had unleashed even greater power, completely overwhelming him. While this was, in a sense, a blow to Nolan Locke as well.

But beyond the attack, what's more important is that it excites Superman Clark's power, which is far more than that. That's enough to prove that he can become even stronger. The reason is very simple: although Superman Clark's power is very strong, what Nørnock needs to do is use his technological power to surpass and enhance himself. The third-generation super soldier's power is not enough.

Then let's use the power of the third and fourth generation super soldiers. For Noah Rock's customers, as long as it's economical, it's not an impossible thing at all. Moreover, obtaining Superman Clark's power is also not impossible. The reason is very simple: with its technological capabilities, it's possible to analyze the same power as Superman Clark. If such a method could be obtained, then it would naturally be an excellent option for Noah Rock.

Although some of the previous attempts to replicate Superman Clark were clumsy, such as Destruction and other Superman beings, they were ultimately just inferior copies of Superman Clark.

However, this was not very important to Nolan Locke, because he was very clear about the limits of his power. Nolan Locke knew very well that his technological system was fully capable of replicating the power of the super-long-range Clark, as long as he could do that.

So for that fallen passerby, the power of Superman Clark meant that he might reach a certain level in the future. However, that was no longer important. Since Superman Clark did not want him to leave, Nolan Locke had no choice but to use some of his own methods to ensure his safe departure. After all, he did not want to be captured by Superman Clark. If he were captured by Superman Clark, it would be a huge problem for him.

So without any hesitation, Nolan Locke opened the small box. Inside the box was Nolan Locke's trump card, Lesson. Although Lesson didn't seem like a big deal, its power was enough to make Superman Clark give up. The moment Nolan Locke took out Lesson, a look of panic appeared in Superman Clarke's eyes. He had to admit that although he was very confident in his own power...

However, it's also very clear to what extent Kroos has restrained his power. Perhaps for an ordinary person, even with Lesson, defeating Superman Clark would be extremely difficult, but Nolan Locke is different. The power Nolan Locke just unleashed was enough to make Superman Clarke fall behind. Under such circumstances, even if Superman Clark wanted to fight against Nolan Locke in some way after gaining Lesson, it would be extremely difficult, because Nolan Locke could possibly keep up with his attack speed.

Under such circumstances, if the opponent possessed the time, they would have the potential to control the battle. However, it was clear that he was not someone who gave up easily. For him, what he wanted to do was very simple: he wanted to fight against everything and naturally wouldn't let Nanlock go. He unleashed his strongest power without hesitation, trying to seize the time from Durant, or rather, to take that time away. But Locke was also very decisive; he didn't retreat. At this moment, he charged directly towards Clarkston Clark, because he knew very well that as long as he could defeat Ultrasonic Clark...

Then everything that followed became incredibly simple. Nolan Locke unleashed his fastest speed, releasing all the dark matter into his body, reaching his true limit. Even before, although Nolan Locke had also unleashed a large amount of dark matter, he had ultimately held back, since this matter was no simple thing; it required a large amount of technology points to create.

Under these circumstances, he naturally wanted to conserve some energy, but now, for the sake of a thrilling battle, Nolan Locke couldn't care less about that. His speed exploded several times in an instant, enough to shock Superman Clark. He hadn't expected Nolan Locke's speed to reach such a level; it was far more powerful than he had imagined. Under these circumstances, both of them unleashed unprecedented speed and power.

Meanwhile, the satellites in the distance were observing the battle. As the intensity of the fight between the two intensified, everyone's gaze became even more terrified. Lex Luthor also observed this through the television broadcast, never expecting that the two's power had reached such a level.

Although Nolan Locke had another lesson, he still couldn't completely suppress Superman Clark. While lessons do have some power over Superman Clark, it requires getting close to him first, and Superman Clark was fully prepared.

Naturally, he wouldn't let Locke get close so easily. Or rather, while the power of the lesson was immense, it couldn't possibly drain all of Superman Clark's power instantly before contact. This was an abstract concept. If Nolan Locke could directly insert the lesson into Clark's body, he could naturally defeat Superman Clark completely. But otherwise, trying to defeat Superman Clark from a great distance was simply impossible.

Regardless, Dunn Luke had already gained the upper hand in this battle thanks to his time, and for Lanklock, that was enough. He suddenly retreated and distanced himself from Superman Clark. Superman Clark did not attack him immediately because he was somewhat wary of the Kryptonite in front of him.

Although Nolan Locke's power wasn't as great as his, with the ability to counter him, Nolan Locke was indeed an extremely deadly threat. He had witnessed countless opponents, some cunning, some possessing great strength. But no one had ever reached Nolan Locke's level. Now, he felt a sense of fear; if he continued fighting Nolan Locke, he knew he might die.

For Ultrasonic Clark, this was an extremely improbable event, but now that reality was unfolding before his eyes, he ultimately retreated, driven by this fear.

Nolan Locke remained calm, even a faint smile playing on his lips. He knew perfectly well what Superman Clark's mindset was. Although Superman Clark possessed immense power, his mindset had never been that of a political fighter. This was because, quite simply, his power made him almost impervious to pain, and naturally, he felt no threat of death.

Even though some people might cause him trouble through his lessons, they couldn't make him truly feel despair. But now, with the lessons he possesses, plus his immense power, he's capable of making Superman Clark reach that level. Naturally, Superman Clark will feel an extreme fear, a fear that will drive him to do many irrational things. Naturally, this is enough to make Superman Clark feel fear in that instant, causing him to choose to retreat.

"I think our battle should end here. We can continue fighting next time, but you probably won't recognize me then."

Nolan Locke began to speak, but Beyond Clark's expression turned somewhat ugly. For him, this was an extremely bad thing, and he did not want to leave like this.

However, things have now spiraled out of control. While Superman Clark's power is formidable, after using the lesson, he can no longer completely restrain himself. Therefore, Clark has fully achieved his goal. This means that Superman is not invincible.

He can do what he wants without worrying too much about Chang'an's existence. After all, Cao Ren is not only countered by Ke Shi, but also has many weaknesses, which Nolan Locke can use to punish Chaoyang Clark.

The eyes of the entire world were fixed on the two of them, but Nolan Locke quickly turned and left. Superman didn't give chase; he wanted to, but his body stiffened at that moment, unable to move. It wasn't until much later that Superman Clark landed on the ground, his face pale and somewhat unwell.

He knew he was scared, something he couldn't even imagine, but that was reality, and it had actually happened.

So for Superman Clark, his face was extremely grim. He suddenly imagined himself doing such a thing, backing down in this battle, but it had already happened, leaving him no room for regret.

He could only tell himself that this wouldn't happen again when he encountered the Collector. He was a warrior, a superhero, a guardian. No matter how powerful the enemy was, he had to do it. He had to defeat the enemy and save the world.

Nolan Locke had achieved his goal by leaving Superman Clark, and naturally didn't want to delay any longer; further delay wouldn't bring any significant benefit. The moment it hit the ground, it felt an intense pain coursing through its body.

This is because there is enough power to activate it again. For Nolan Locke, this terrible curse has tormented him for a long time, and he can no longer continue to try to go with everyone. Naturally, this is not of much benefit to him.

"After getting ready for the wedding, we need to move on to the next step of our plans."

Nolan Locke spoke calmly to Redfire, explaining that he needed to proceed with the next step of his plan: to completely remove his own body, undergo a new physical transformation, and then use that new body to appear in the world and resolve new events.

Now he has a new identity: the president of Locke Technology.

The CEO of this technology company also serves as a great cover for his identity, enabling him to solve the vast majority of problems, although many people are completely unaware of its existence.
