Chapter 292 Death
"I-
As the BOSS entered some unknown phase, bathed in the red sunlight refracted by the atmosphere, Joey hesitated to speak.
The reason he was able to stop himself from speaking Tibetan was because he was once again pinned to the ground by Ultron, who suddenly unleashed tremendous speed.
After tearing apart Ultron's vibranium fingers, the opponent's attack came again. Due to the change in light, Joey's speed had already decreased to a certain level, and he almost couldn't dodge in time and was swatted to death like a mosquito.
Fortunately, Batman managed to increase the power of the Green Lantern Ring, and the materialized phantom of the Bat God immediately lunged forward, knocking Ultron 30K to his knees.
Having caught his breath, Joey decided to conserve his energy and landed on the ground. However, as soon as his feet touched the ground, the metal layer beneath him began to twist and move, forcing him to hover in the air with his feet off the ground.
Ultron 30K's use of this planet was not yet at a level of complete mastery, or perhaps this was part of Ultron's conspiracy.
He doesn't need to use any extreme methods to quickly win the battle; he only needs to slowly wear down Batman and the Kryptonians' will and strength to achieve final victory.
Under the red sun, Kryptonians gradually weaken after exhausting their stored energy, reverting to the level of normal species within the Kryptonian ecosystem.
Although it still has a physique built up by tens of times the force of gravity, it is somewhat insufficient against a super A1 like Ultron 30K.
Moreover, it's not just the Kryptonians' physical bodies that are weakened by the red sun's rays.
On the other side, Kara was also gradually losing momentum. Her armor still provided sunlight, but its strength had decreased significantly. The blade in her hand was no longer as sharp as before, and she was no longer as easy as cutting through melons and vegetables.
With the threat from Kryptonians greatly reduced, Ultron 30K dealt with Batman's giant green lantern projection with ease, even having time to taunt him:
"I don't know if you've read Greek mythology, but your race is really like Achilles."
Achilles, the demigod hero of ancient Greece, was dipped into the River Styx by his mother while he was young, making him invulnerable to weapons and immortal. However, the part of his foot that was not soaked in the water of the Styx became his only fatal weakness, and Achilles indeed died because of it.
"I realized this when I first started upgrading myself—there is no such thing as perfection, and every seemingly powerful hero has his fatal weaknesses and vulnerabilities."
As expected of Ant-Man's "ultimate solution to all problems," Ultron 30k, after being defeated by Kryptonians several times, has thoroughly identified the "Achilles' heel" of the Kryptonian race through energy spectrum analysis.
Having addressed its weaknesses tens of thousands of times, Ultron is eager to celebrate its victory.
"That's why I always win—because I'm always one step ahead of you heroes, and I can always find your weakest points and exploit them."
Boom!
Batman, the "pilot" driving the giant projection, once again dragged Ultron into the rhythm of free fighting: "Don't get too excited!"
"Really? I can see the sweat on your forehead," Ultron said, recharging his energy nodes and cracking the green light projection with two punches.
"How long can an ordinary person like you hold out?"
Without Superman's interference, dealing with this ordinary person in front of him, who possesses a lot of unknown technology, would be a piece of cake.
"—" Although he didn't reply, Batman knew that Ultron was right.
His will was already overwhelmed, and he was now just gritting his teeth and holding on. Under the red sun, they had fallen into such an unfavorable situation in the blink of an eye.
The only saving grace is that Ultron has only replaced the yellow sunlight with red. Under this mild environmental change, Superman still has some ability to protect himself before his energy slowly runs out.
If the other party could learn from this example and create a weapon that could fire high-energy rays, just like Batman himself or some other guy who dislikes Superman did, then Pyra would do exactly what he feared. Just as Batman finished thinking about it, several metal cubes popped out from Ultron 30K's back, transformed and assembled in mid-air, turning into a drone in the form of an Iron Man suit, carrying hand cannons and chest cannons.
The robots raised their hands and aimed, unleashing a barrage of blood-red energy beams at Kara, who was still battling the other robots in mid-air.
Kara, already at her limit, was restrained by countless robots, making it impossible for her to escape unscathed from such a concentrated attack.
As the beam swept across, her battle suit finally broke through the critical point of energy balance. Her bio-field could no longer maintain its balance and quickly exhausted its energy under the scorching heat of the red sun beam.
With her strength waning, Kara was unable to even maintain flight, and after a scream, she plummeted straight down like a kite with a broken string.
Gravity isn't even her biggest threat to survival right now; don't forget that before she lost her mobility, she was fighting a swarm of Ultron drones.
I'm afraid that before she even crashes to the ground and becomes crippled, she'll be devoured alive by the Ultron drones that are chasing after her!
"Kara!"
Upon seeing this, Joey immediately set off, recklessly charging headlong into the Ultron robot horde, tearing one obstacle after another to shreds.
As his energy was depleted, Joey's body sustained a variety of wounds, including burns, cuts from sharp blades, and frostbite. Although these wounds healed rapidly, they were nothing compared to being completely exposed to the yellow sunlight.
Soon, he caught up with Kara's falling speed and cut the robot horde in half. The blade that Kara had given him earlier had also broken completely.
Fortunately, he managed to catch Kara before she hit the ground. His bio-force field neutralized the kinetic energy accumulated during the fall, and Joey landed with Kara in his arms.
"You shouldn't have come to save me. You've exhausted your energy; you'll die too!"
"Shut up."
Joey had already become accustomed to ignoring Kara's subconscious stubbornness, saying that he shouldn't have come to save her; when he caught her just now, the corners of her mouth were curved more pronounced than ever before.
"At least we're not dead yet."
At this point, he could directly experience the disastrous consequences of the rapid loss of his internal strength. An indescribable sense of fatigue struck from both a psychological and physiological level, causing him, who had almost no fatigue, to begin panting heavily.
In this intensity of combat, relying solely on the meager amount of supplementary yellow sunlight provided by Joey or Kara's suits is simply insufficient.
The Ultron robots that continued to swarm towards the two of them were like a swarm of bees, overwhelming them. Joey couldn't even count their number, let alone predict their flight trajectory.
Holding Kara in his arms, Joey forced out the last bit of energy from his body and was about to leap up again to avoid the enemy when he found that his feet were rooted to the spot and he could not move.
"?"
Looking down, he saw that the steel beneath his feet had turned into fluid, firmly restricting his movements.
The Ultron robot in the air unleashed various superpower attacks, swooping down towards Joey. After several attempts, Joey, still unable to move, looked at Kara in his arms.
"Don't do that!"
Kara, still recovering, realized what Joey was about to do and almost screamed, "You'll die!"
The continuous deaths would have unimaginable consequences, as Kara had already told Joey. Now, Joey clearly wanted to throw her out of the attack range and let her bear the brunt of the superpower attack alone.
Joey ignored Kara's objections, lifted her up in a shot put pose, and used his limited strength to help her fly:
"Get out of here!"
After throwing Kara away, the overwhelming Ultron robots finally collided with Joey, and the attacks of different attributes almost tore Joey apart.
Perhaps because he had experienced death too many times in his dreams, Joey, who was pierced by a diamond spear and whose skin was burned off, did not even feel any pain. He only felt his consciousness gradually sinking downwards. "You are still alive. It's amazing."
After scanning Joey's body and finding that his physiological reactions were still strong, Ultron realized that such an attack would hardly kill him. So he summoned two special drones, which quickly approached Joey and emitted red light.
With a deafening roar, a red mushroom cloud rose into the sky. This was a massive explosion created by Ultron, mimicking the yellow sun grenade that Kara had previously detonated, producing a spectra identical to those of the red sun.
When the smoke cleared, Joey was nowhere to be seen.
"It doesn't matter"
I also have another sample.
All of this was part of Ultron's plan.
