American comics: Starting with replicating Superman's talent

Chapter 102 Old Gino Doesn't Like Looking Up

Humans are very strange creatures.

To put it bluntly, it's like two dogs fighting to the death over a bone, but if a third dog appears, the two dogs might unite against a common enemy before fighting to the death again.

To put it nicely, it's like two robbers stealing twenty-two gold coins and dividing them equally, but if three robbers were to divide twenty-two gold coins, two of them might die.

Of course, neither of these descriptions is entirely accurate.

However, upon seeing the white-masked man suddenly appear, Batman and Rashomon tacitly ceased their fight.

"It's you."

"You're the mysterious person who destroyed the Court of Owls."

Batman and Lei Xiaogu spoke at almost the same time.

"Clap clap clap." The mysterious masked man, Gino, clapped his hands enthusiastically. He rubbed his palms and said mockingly, "So, when are you guys going to start fighting? I want to join in the fun too."

Their urgent tone and body language suggested they wanted the two to start fighting immediately.

Gino's so-called "joining in the fun" is just to collect a wave of negative points, and then he can exchange another 4,000 points for a golden legendary card.

Then, when the time comes, go find a magician or something, go to heaven through a medium, find God, swipe his card, and you'll instantly be promoted to the T0 rank of the DC Universe's power rankings!

Let's create the world right here and now!

Thanos? Snap of his fingers? One sneeze and he could kill a hundred, and that wouldn't be too many.

Of course, this is all just Gino's wishful thinking. According to his understanding as a pseudo-comic book fan, God had already "divided" himself into several parts many years ago, with strange and bizarre concepts such as the voice of God and the body of God.

Never take the DC Universe too seriously, because nobody can possibly know exactly how many weird and peculiar settings there are.

But this doesn't stop Gino from earning points. Good stuff, who wouldn't want more?

Hearing Gino's words, Batman, or rather, Ray Xiaogu's already gloomy face became even more unpleasant, as if ice water could be squeezed out of the wrinkles on his old face at any second.

What kind of nonsense is this bastard spouting? Does he think his fight with Batman is like monkeys fighting in a circus?

"You don't want to?"

The white mask spun, sweeping across the two men's cold expressions, and then let out a soft sigh.

He glanced at Batman, who was tense and on high alert, and a smile appeared on his lips: "I remember telling you last time that I would reappear after you became stronger."

"So, how are you ready?"

Before he finished speaking, Gino lightly leaped down from the ten-meter-high wall.

The biological force activated to its fullest extent, causing the marble pavement beneath their feet to shatter with a deafening roar, leaving two deep footprints and pits.

Terror, the extreme fear that followed terror, suddenly gripped Lei Xiaogu's throat as if an invisible hand had been drawn in an instant.

He would swear on the honor of his wife, who had been dead for hundreds of years, that he had never seen such a terrifying human being.

To be honest, the moment that guy jumped off the high wall and landed on the concrete roadside, Lei Xiaogu's hair stood on end. It was as if what jumped down was not a person, but a non-human being, or even a legendary supernatural being.

"Boom!"

Gino controlled the bio-field, lightly activating the command to compress the surrounding air, producing a sharp popping sound.

"Stupid boy."

Lei Xiaogu reacted quickly; he had already figured out who his real opponent was.

The feud with the traitorous Batman can wait; surviving this masked man is the real priority.

He looked at Batman and said, "You and I will take this guy down together."

Batman didn't answer Lei Xiaogu; instead, he was thinking about the retreat plan.

Facing a terrifying opponent you already know without any preparation is undoubtedly a reckless choice. He has no intention of sharing information with Rashomon; on the contrary, Batman plans to use someone else to do his dirty work.

His poker face bobbed slightly as Batman coldly said, "Fine, all of you come at me."

Lei Xiaogu breathed a sigh of relief. If there were two people, the pressure might be lessened. If the opponent was too strong, he could sell Batman and run away.

The two old coin strategists are ready.

Faced with a mysterious figure whose strength is unfathomable, they had no choice but to give it their all.

The three faced off in silence.

"Click!"

Lei Xiaogu bit his finger, and bright red blood flowed down his fingertip. He then smeared the blood on his cheek.

As the leader of the Assassin's Guild and the owner of the Pool of Lazarus, how could Lei Xiaogu not have some secret techniques hidden away?

The next instant, the originally thin old man's body suddenly swelled up.

His shriveled muscles bulged again, becoming even more robust, and his thin body rose from the ground like a giant, with his limbs constantly expanding and growing larger.

Tear~

The clothes were torn and stretched.

The long-term immersion in the spring water has filled Lei Xiaogu's body with a terrifying and strange energy. They can grant Lei Xiaogu greater power for a short period of time, but the price is the loss of some of his rationality, making him furious and bloodthirsty.

"roar!"

Lei Xiaogu, transformed into a giant over four meters tall, roared to the sky. From a distance, he looked like a living, breathing monster.

Those tiny, bean-sized eyes were fixed on Gino's figure. Then, the giant leaped up, creating a violent gust of wind that tore through his clothes, and his massive body charged toward the boy like a giant god descending from the sky.

Despite his terrifying physique, Gino's height of over 1.8 meters looked like a tiny speck.

"Wow, so the Pool of Lazarus has this kind of effect?"

Gino remained calm and stared with interest at Lei Xiaogu's reddish and fiery skin, which looked like the terrifying skin of a demon. Moreover, the surface was marked with unknown pentagram marks, making him look like a demon from hell, both evil and ominous.

"roar!"

Lei Xiaogu's raised fist was filled with unparalleled power, and an unusual flushed smile appeared on his devilish face. He seemed to have already seen the scene of smashing the boy's body to pieces and killing him with a single punch.

then.

He saw the masked man slowly raise his hand and clench his fist.

"boom!"

As the five fingers came together, a series of vibrations echoed in the air, and that terrifying power exploded throughout the maze.

Gino looked up at the falling giant, his expression unyielding beneath his mask: "I don't have the habit of looking up at people."

Then, Gino threw a powerful upward punch.

The speed is so fast that it cannot be detected by the naked eye.

Batman, who had been observing from the sidelines, only saw a gust of wind, visible to the naked eye, gather in the air and, like an air cannonball, travel a straight trajectory before crashing into the muscular monster, Rashomon.

A ring of clouds burst up in the sky!

then.

"boom!"

A deafening sound suddenly exploded in his ears, so loud that Batman couldn't help but cover his ears.

The old man, who resembled a giant god, was sent flying like a kite with a broken string by a single punch. His massive body crashed through the underground passage, scattering rubble everywhere, before disappearing into the dark night as a streak of light.

Tomorrow I'll write two chapters to wrap up this part of the story. From the 4th to the 17th, I finished writing the plots for "Batman: Court of Owls" and "Batman: Year One." During the planning stage, I also cut some parts that weren't very interesting, such as Gordon's growth arc. After all, it would be boring to read a book if a supporting character took up too much space. Next, I'll introduce magical events to address the protagonist's weaknesses in magic. I'll also introduce the first female lead, and I hope to portray her as likable so that readers will enjoy her.

Then next month I might take a day or two off to revise some of the free chapters, removing some poorly written parts. Ah, one thing at a time, haste makes waste, and Xiao Mo always likes to make promises she keeps, so maybe next month I'll be too lazy to revise them (laughing and crying). Over.
