Superman Marvel Adventures

Sutter shook his head after hearing this, saying, "This time it really isn't Hydra. I investigated this person before when I heard about the plan: Barry Turner, from a family of teachers, a passionate young man with an overwhelming sense of justice. Before the plan was carried out, Hydra approached him but were imprisoned by him. However, I suspect he's the mastermind, but it's just a suspicion."

After a moment of contemplation, Treund asked, "What exactly is the person behind this trying to do?"

Satur said calmly, "I think it's a test. They want to find out Superman's true strength this way. That's why I brought you here to watch the show as soon as you arrived, so you could get a general idea of ​​Superman's strength and be more careful in your future actions here. Although you keep saying that Superman is powerful, I know that you don't really think Superman is that powerful. You don't need to deny it so quickly, otherwise you wouldn't have left the slaves in Canada waiting for your orders."

Terry was taken aback, then smiled wryly, "You really can't hide anything from me. It seems the higher-ups know what I'm thinking too, right?"

Sattel shrugged and said, "You can figure that out yourself. Anyway, the adults won't care about the process. As long as the result satisfies him, you can do whatever you want. Well, at least that's how it is for me."

Just as Terry was about to speak, he saw Superman descending from the sky on the screen in front of him and immediately swallowed his words. Sutter also instantly snapped from his casual demeanor back to a serious expression, watching Superman descend from the sky on the screen and block the golden beam aimed at Barry and Joe with one hand.

“Come on, show us what you’ve got, Superman, Adam Stark, America’s pride!” Sutter murmured.

On the screen, Superman blocked the attack aimed at the two men and led them to a safer place. Then he returned to the front of the bank and walked into it step by step. Static appeared on the screen, and it took several tens of seconds for it to return to normal before the scene inside the bank began to appear.

"Aren't you worried that Superman will discover your surveillance?" Terry asked.

Satur shrugged and said, “Superman won’t care about any of that, because he’s focused on saving people right now. There are still nearly thirty hostages in the bank. Most importantly, although these surveillance devices look very futuristic, they are actually magical alchemical products. And according to reliable sources, Superman has zero knowledge of magic and zero resistance to it! You can hurt him with magic, of course, provided you can hit him!”

Chapter 227 Testing the Waters II

Turning our attention to Superman

Adam, who was just about to go to sleep, suddenly received a message from Athena saying that a group of robbers armed with superweapons had taken control of a bank and installed soundproofing measures, resulting in the deaths of thirty or forty police officers. Upon hearing this, Adam immediately got up to prepare for a rescue, knowing that Athena wouldn't notify him without conducting an investigation.

In less than a minute, Adam had appeared above the hijacked bank and noticed the problem. The area across the street from the bank was bustling with activity at this time, with everyone cheering for the victory, but here it was completely quiet. Apart from the police below and the bank protected by some unknown energy, there was no one else around.

"Athena, check the protective shield below. I'll go down and rescue people first!" After saying that, he quickly landed and blocked a beam of light as thick as an arm with one hand. Then he frowned because he realized that he was almost knocked back several steps by the beam of light with his strength.

"Thank God, you're awesome, Barry! Superman really is here. Your abilities are really useful, not just useless at all!"

Just then, Adam heard a voice full of excitement and hope. He turned around and saw a black policeman holding a young policeman who was soaking wet, looking at him excitedly.

"You're all alright, gentlemen. You're very brave, especially Mr. Barry!" Because they already knew before they came that someone had used superpowers, or rather, mutant abilities, to ask for help from the outside world to spread the word about what was happening here, upon hearing the black police officer's words, they immediately guessed that it was this young police officer who had revealed his mutant identity at a crucial moment. That took a lot of courage, especially at a time like this.

"Superman is here. Damn it! And he blocked my attack just now!"

"Damn it, how did Superman know about our operation? Didn't we set up soundproofing devices a long time ago?"

"Who knows? But it's alright if he comes. We still have a big weapon we haven't used yet. Haha, let him taste the power of our Gale Thieves!"

Just then, Adam's powerful hearing picked up a voice coming from inside the bank.

Adam immediately said to Barry and Joe, "Alright, I'll move you to a relatively safe place first. There are some houses around here that I can't check inside, which means there's a problem there. So stay in the place I designate and don't move around without permission."

After hearing this, Joe helped Barry up and said, "Okay, Mr. Superman, we won't act on our own."

Barry frowned. "You mean there are several houses we can't check? Is there no one left around here?" he asked.

Adam nodded and said, "That's right, there's really no one around here. You're right, this seems to be a conspiracy against me. I discovered as soon as I entered that this place has been distorted by strange energy, and I can't get out for the time being."

Barry's face darkened, and he said with some regret, "I'm sorry, Superman. If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have been tricked by these people."

Adam smiled dismissively and said, "Don't talk nonsense. If I hadn't come, these people would have killed you all and then tried to scheme against me in another way. That's not your problem at all. You did the right thing; you saved these people's lives. You should be happy about it because you're a hero right now!"

Joe nodded and said, "That's right, Barry, you saved our lives. And I believe Mr. Superman can handle this."

Adam said, "That's right, I can handle these things. Okay, let's get you to a safe place first!" After saying that, he used his speed to quickly move the surviving police officers to a safe location and then handed them a device.

"This is a protective device. Turn it on now. If I return safely, this device will automatically turn off without requiring you to do so. Understand?"

Barry immediately understood Superman's meaning and nodded, saying, "Yes, I understand."

Adam smiled and said, "Well, gentlemen, I'll be leaving now!" He vanished instantly and reappeared at the bank entrance.

Although it was written at length, all of this happened in just five minutes. So when Adam returned to the bank entrance, the robbers inside hadn't made any moves yet. What made Adam feel uneasy was that he found he could no longer hear the conversations inside the bank and had to fight back.

"Alright, I hate things that aren't certain, Athena, isn't it ready yet?"

"Not yet, Master. We are surrounded by magical barriers and technological products. The other party seems to be an exceptionally powerful alchemist, capable of perfectly combining magic and technology. If Christine hadn't taught me some magical knowledge, I might have malfunctioned after you came in. Moreover, we are currently unable to contact the mainframe and can only rely on you to bring your microcomputer to perform calculations. So, Master, you may have to wait a while."

As Adam walked into the bank, he said, "Well, it's not the first or second time you've messed up at crucial moments. The fact that you're still here when I call shows that you've improved, Athena."

Athena retorted angrily, "Hmph, Master, you're one to talk! I'm learning magic for your sake, aren't I? Where have I ever seen a super-intelligent computer learning magic? I'm ignoring you."

Adam quickly apologized, "Oh dear, Athena, it's alright, don't be angry, I didn't mean to." Before he could finish speaking, he was suddenly struck by a powerful impact and instantly sent flying.

Adam was clearly incredulous. Apart from being humiliated when he first debuted and being humiliated after his Phoenix Awakening, he had never been knocked away before, especially not in a situation where he didn't have time to react. Although Adam was indeed a bit careless, and there was a suspicion that his opponent had launched a sneak attack.

"Haha, boss, this weapon is really powerful! Did you see that? I sent Superman flying! Haha!"

Just as Adam shook his slightly dizzy head and cautiously stood up to guard against being ambushed, he suddenly heard this sentence.

"A weapon? Oh, it must be that beam weapon from earlier. No wonder I didn't have time to react." He muttered to himself, then floated towards the direction from which the voice had come from.

To Adam's dismay, the other party wasn't there at all, and his X-ray vision had malfunctioned due to the strange energy shield. Adam had no choice but to move forward again, hoping to find the other party. Just then, Adam suddenly felt a heavy weight. Caught off guard by this heavy feeling, he lost his levitation and crashed into the ground with a bang, creating a large, human-shaped hole.

"Master, it's twenty times the gravity!" Athena reported the situation to Adam with great accuracy afterward.

Adam gritted his teeth and stood up from the ground, saying, "I know, I was just careless for a moment. This kind of pressure is nothing, but these guys have really angered me!" With that, he suddenly burst out and punched through the wall next to him, pulling out a deformed silver metal object from the middle.

"Congratulations, Master! You have obtained the world's rarest metal, mithril!" Athena congratulated Adam with a gloating smile.

"Mithril? Magic?" Adam crumpled the mithril in his hand into a ball and placed it in the space of his belt. It was a belt that Christine had reforged for Adam using alchemy, and it contained storage space.

"Athena, how many magical materials do you think I can get after I demolish this place?"

Athena shrugged and said, "I don't know, Master, but I'm sure these masterminds are starting to feel the pinch. Oh, and one more thing I need to remind you, Master, the gravity is still increasing; it's already fifty times the normal gravity."

Adam nodded and said, "I can sense it. It seems that what I just destroyed was not gravity magic, but something else. But it's okay. I'm still happy to demolish houses by force. It's a good way to vent my frustration."

Chapter 228 Testing the Waters (Part 3)

As Adam felt the gravity getting heavier, he became annoyed and began to dismantle the surrounding walls. Since magic circles couldn't be activated remotely, the most likely place to hide them was the walls around him. Unfortunately, because there was also a thin layer of magical energy on the walls, Adam couldn't use his X-ray vision to find the magic circles, but he could disable them by force.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

After a few loud noises, Adam tore down all the walls in the house that had trapped him. Just as Adam was clapping his hands and looking at his accomplishment, Athena made a sarcastic remark that was quite unforgiving.

"Oh dear, Master, why did you tear down all four walls? Wouldn't it have been easier to get out if you just tore down one wall?"

Adam's lips twitched, somewhat speechless (a seventh-rank official). After all, he had only wanted to vent his frustration at being schemed against, which was why he had demolished all four walls. Hearing Athena's explanation, he felt a bit foolish. Therefore, he glared at Athena fiercely before quickly walking forward.

Athena covered her mouth and chuckled, then frowned and whispered, "It seems they've been preparing for this for a long time. But who or what organization did this? Or have they all joined forces?"

Adam's ears twitched as he heard Athena's words. He said in a deep voice, "It doesn't matter who did it. Now we can only hope that the other party won't harm the hostages. If the other party is so heartless as to kill the hostages, that would be the worst thing that could happen."

Athena listened and said, "That is indeed a possibility, and it is quite likely. Their target was Master, but now that you have arrived, those hostages have lost their value and may have already been killed."

Adam shook his head and said, "No. There's still a sliver of hope. You continue to analyze the energy shield around us at an accelerated pace. I'll deal with this guy in front of us!" He then stopped and looked at the person who had suddenly appeared in front of him with a somewhat solemn expression.

This was a white man about 2 meters tall. But Adam saw no sign of life in him; the man was as if he were dead. The man's eyes were fixed on him, and he kept repeating the words, "Kill Superman!"

Just then, the person opposite moved, appearing almost instantly in front of Adam and throwing a punch at Adam's face. Adam reached out to grab the other person's wrist, but the other person's speed was somewhat unexpected, and he was almost hit. Fortunately, at the crucial moment, Adam turned his head and dodged the attack.

Adam narrowed his eyes. He sensed the fluctuations of magical energy emanating from his opponent once more. At this moment, the person closed in and delivered a knee strike to Adam's chest. Adam's strength far surpassed his opponent's, and he had become serious. He crossed his arms to block the opponent's thunderous attack, then grabbed one of the opponent's legs and threw him away.

With a loud crash, the person smashed through a wall, then nonchalantly dusted himself off and stood up.

"So Superman is nothing special after all!" he said, his tone extremely arrogant. He seemed utterly disdainful of Adam's performance just now.

Adam grinned and said, "Oh, so it can talk. What a fun toy! Is it the man watching me from behind the scenes?"

The man was taken aback, then said, "I don't know what you're talking about?"

Adam said, "Alright, I've already realized that what's in front of me is a combat robot that combines magic and technology, so there's no need for you to deny it! Tell me, what is your purpose?"

The robot stood there blankly without saying a word, then attacked Adam again, leaving Adam somewhat helpless and angry. Once the robot realized it had discovered him, it immediately severed contact. Then, after some time, Adam dismantled it into a pile of scrap metal.

"Oh dear, Master. You're being so wasteful!" Athena complained, somewhat displeased with Adam's actions.

Adam was taken aback and asked, "What's wrong?"

Athena pouted and said, "If you can capture this robot, I can create a body for myself. Furthermore, we can create our own robot army."

Adam looked at the pile of scrap metal at his feet and explained, "This thing has a self-destruct device inside. Look, this is it. I don't want to go back with a bomb. Who knows if there's any tracking magic or something on it?"

Athena said, "But we don't need to be afraid of this at all. With her help, we don't need to worry about these magic (psychic techniques) at all."

Adam stomped on one of the robot's eyes, popping it out, and said, "Even so, I can't take the risk. Besides, this broken robot can't withstand your system at all. At most, you'll just get a remotely controlled toy."

Athena knew all this, but she was a little unsettled when she saw the robot that perfectly combined science and magic. She didn't want to be just a communication tool; she wanted to be able to help Adam.

Adam could roughly guess Athena's thoughts at a glance, and smiled slightly, saying, "I said before that I would create a perfect body for you, so don't let these things confuse you, Athena. I hope that you can eventually upgrade to become a new life form, rather than a highly intelligent robot."

Athena briefly froze upon hearing this, but quickly returned to normal, saying, "Oh, I understand!" Then she fell silent, staring intently at the data analysis in front of her.

Adam didn't care about Athena's strange state, or rather, he had gotten used to Athena's abnormal behavior. After all, after Athena's first self-evolution, she had become different from other intelligent programs and was moving in an unknown direction. Adam himself was also looking forward to Athena eventually becoming a completely new life form, breaking free from the shackles of the network and machines.

Okay, back to the main topic. After a brief conversation with the mastermind, although the other party only said one sentence, Adam never encountered any other creatures he could communicate with. The robbers who had attacked him at the beginning were nowhere to be found. This made Adam anxious. If it dragged on, the hostages would be in great danger. However, because the entire bank building was shrouded in magical energy, he couldn't use his X-ray vision and could only rely on his ears to listen to the robbers' conversations little by little. After going through many different kinds of battles, he finally arrived at the underground vault.

Adam arrived at the vault and found the door tightly shut, crackling with electricity, clearly indicating a strong electrical charge. On the other side, the robbers had used their weapons to create a hole, suggesting that the men had escaped through this opening. Now, Adam faced a dilemma: should he chase after the robbers, or open the vault to rescue any potential hostages inside?

Without a doubt, Adam glanced at the hole in the wall through which the robbers had escaped, and then immediately went to the vault door. It was the only way to break through; the other parts were several times thicker than the door.

"This must be the final test, right? To see if I'll get electrocuted?" Adam muttered to himself as he gripped the bank vault door with both hands.

*Crackling sound!* The violent electric current surged through Adam's hands and body, its intensity amplified by magic to an extremely high level. With a snap, the ring on Adam's finger, the defensive magical artifact specially crafted for him by Christine, finally stopped working!

A muffled groan escaped Adam's lips involuntarily. Then, the numbness and pain in his body caused him to roar as he ripped the alloy door of the bank vault off and threw it to the ground. He then knelt on the ground, panting heavily.

Clap! Clap! Clap! Clap! A series of clapping sounds came from inside the bank vault, followed by a man's mocking voice.

"Look, isn't that our superhero Superman? What happened? Why is he kneeling on the ground? Oh dear, why does he look so disheveled?"

Adam looked up at the man wielding a strange weapon inside the vault, and behind him, three naked women, clearly defiled, bound to his side. His eyes sharpened instantly; Adam was enraged. (To be continued)

Chapter 229 Adam's Wrath

Adam stared at the man before him, his eyes red, and said, word by word, "You've gone too far! Just to test my strength, you dragged innocent people into this mess. Very well, you've successfully angered me!"

But the man scoffed at Adam's words; in his eyes, Superman was already a sitting duck. Please search for the most complete and fastest updated version!

"Really? Mr. Superman, you're planning to avenge these people? Heh, I'd love to see you take your revenge, but alas, you're probably too weak to move by now, aren't you?"
