Chapter 371 Those captivating eyes are truly mesmerizing!
The rewards revealed this time are basically all related to Superman.
Putting everything else aside, Superman's red underwear and Clark's glasses are simply the most classic unsolved mystery set in the DC Universe.
As is well known, early DC Comics characters were quite abstract, and almost every male superhero wore his underwear on the outside.
Superman even wore his bright red underwear on the outside, making it look like he was celebrating his zodiac year.
Batman is relatively better off; he just wears his black underwear on the outside and stays hidden in the shadows all day, so no one can see him, which preserves his cool image.
But the most outrageous one has to be Robin. He was wearing a cape and uniform on his upper body, but only a pair of shorts on his lower body, with bare legs and boots. The scene was simply an eyesore. When he stood next to Batman, it was hard not to wonder what their relationship was.
However, as times changed and audience aesthetics evolved, these superheroes finally figured out the correct way to wear underwear and realized that underwear is always worn inside.
But undeniably, those red underwear have become one of Superman's iconic looks.
The same applies to Clark's glasses.
Superman flies around in a tight suit all day long, and everyone in the world knows him. But as soon as he puts on his glasses and becomes Clark Kent, no one can recognize him as Superman, which is ridiculous.
Previously, viewers complained that the writers were forcibly making him less intelligent. It wasn't until later that the official explanation was added, saying that Superman has a biological perspective, and when he wears glasses, he automatically distorts the perceptions of those around him, making them think that Clark and Superman are completely different.
The logic is hard to explain, it's a biological perspective.
Cause and effect are hard to establish, but superhuman speed and power are possible.
These are the two laws of the DC universe.
Then there's the "Electric Eyes" gadget, which can make your eyes so powerful they can electrocute you—physically speaking, similar to the heat rays of Kryptonians, except instead of electric current, they emit high voltage.
Combining power and a sense of authority, it is a rather good prop.
Du Mu had already experienced the power of the Kryptonian armor before.
Those Kryptonians had just arrived on Earth, and even without absorbing solar energy, they were able to easily overpower Clark while wearing this suit of armor.
Of course, this has a lot to do with the physical constitution of the Kryptonians themselves. The truly powerful ones are the Kryptonians, not the Kryptonian armor.
The fact that the Kryptonian armor could withstand Clark's attacks is enough to prove its powerful defense, which is far superior to most armors that Du Mu has seen. It truly deserves to be the pinnacle of Kryptonian technology.
Finally, there's the skill "Sin of Pride".
While fighting General Zod, Du Mu was envious of the Kryptonians for having the sun as an infinite energy source, which made him more and more energetic as the fight went on. He never expected that the game system would give him the same skill.
His stats will be comprehensively improved as long as he is exposed to sunlight; the stronger the sun, the greater the increase.
It's basically a scaled-down version of a Kryptonian's physique.
With these props and equipment, Du Mu could go back to Marvel and cosplay Superman.
Du Mu allocated the free attribute points.
The next moment, his attribute panel was updated.
[Attributes: Strength 115, Agility 75, Constitution 75, Spirit 75]
After adding points, Du Mu burst out of the Kryptonian spaceship through the hole in the top of his head. The helmet of the Ultron armor opened automatically, exposing his skin to the sun.
Golden sunlight poured down, but there was no scorching heat; instead, one could feel a continuous flow of energy entering their body.
The energy consumed in the battle was rapidly replenished at a visible speed, and it was fully restored in no time.
He couldn't help but stretch out his arms, tilt his head back slightly, and close his eyes to bask in the sunlight.
The surviving citizens below all noticed this scene and stared blankly at the backlit figure above them.
Du Mu suddenly opened his eyes and heard a fierce fighting sound coming from below.
He looked down and saw Bruce, Diana, and Barry locked in a fierce battle with three surviving Kryptonian warriors.
To be precise, it was Diana who fought three Kryptonian warriors all by herself.
These four non-human beings possessed terrifying mobility. Bruce, wearing heavy anti-superhuman armor, had increased his attack and defense capabilities, but his mobility was significantly reduced, making him unable to participate in the battle and only able to look for opportunities to intervene from the sidelines.
Barry's speed was enough to keep up with the pace of the fight, but it was as if he had no brakes. Every time he charged in, he would fall flat on his face and be unable to get up for a long time. He was just a liability.
Diana rolled her eyes at the two useless men and could only stand alone against the combined attack of three Kryptonian warriors.
She wielded the God-Slaying Sword with impenetrable skill, and her protective silver bracelet blocked wave after wave of attacks, showcasing her tough and strong character.
However, the three Kryptonian warriors already had high stats and worked together seamlessly. Under their relentless attacks, Diana struggled more and more, and her breathing gradually became rapid.
A Kryptonian warrior seized the opportunity to circle behind Diana, his eyes suddenly flashing red, about to unleash a heat beam.
Sizzle—!
Suddenly, two beams of yellow lightning shot down from above, striking the Kryptonian warrior squarely in the chest.
He convulsed and flew out, crashing heavily to the ground, a charred hole burned into his chest, his body still emitting black smoke and sparks.
Du Mu descended slowly from the sky, without a helmet, wearing Ultron armor. Kryptonite was embedded in the back of his right hand, and an octagonal gray stone with an adorable little pig pattern on it was embedded in the back of his left hand.
This is the piercingly powerful prop that Du Mu just acquired.
Actually, it has a more familiar name, called the Pig Talisman, but it was later forcibly renamed by a certain king of witty remarks.
"Those eyes are so captivating, so incredibly captivating."
Du Mu was very satisfied with this.
Now he can stand still and attack like a Kryptonian.
The moment Du Mu landed, the Kryptonian warrior on the ground suddenly turned deathly pale. The deadly radiation from the Kryptonite was frantically eroding his cells, and a strong sense of weakness instantly swept over his body, completely rendering him unable to fight.
Without any hesitation, Du Mu brought his right hand together, forming a sharp cone that pierced the heart of the Kryptonian warrior.
Bruce narrowed his eyes slightly upon seeing this.
"You defeated General Zod?"
Du Mu nodded, looking modest: "It was a narrow victory. I fought him for three hundred rounds, a battle that shook the heavens and the earth. In the end, he was about to unleash a powerful move that could shatter half the earth, so I had no choice but to break my seal and release all my strength to kill him."
"What a pity, I originally saved this move specifically for you."
Bruce:
""
How many tricks did you hold back for me?
Bruce knew this guy was a smooth talker; he never told the truth. At least one or two out of ten of his sentences might be lies, and the rest were definitely lies.
Apart from the fact that General Zod is dead, you can't even trust the punctuation marks on the rest of the information.
"Spider-Man! You're still alive!"
A surprised voice rang out.
Du Mu turned his head and saw Barry getting up from the ground, his face full of excitement.
[NPC: Barry Allen]
Codename: The Flash
【Favourability: 60】
[Comment: The conscience of the Justice League, the fastest man, the switch to reboot the universe, the first to kill in major events, Talk Man, Old Man with Cold Legs, Hawaiian God of War]
This was the first time Du Mu had ever seen an NPC with such a high initial favorability rating.
He raised an eyebrow: "What, shouldn't I be dead?"
"No, no, no, that's not what I meant!"
Barry quickly waved his hand and explained, "I just saw you being grabbed by that alien and thrown into the black hole. I thought you were already dead."
Du Mu chuckled: "That was on purpose. Those Kryptonians would cause even greater destruction if they stayed on Earth, so I used myself as bait to lure them all into another dimension, and then I took care of them all at once."
Bruce's lips twitched slightly; only a fool would believe that.
"I see! I knew Spider-Man couldn't have died so easily!" Barry exclaimed in realization, his face filled with admiration.
Bruce:
""
As for his assessment of Barry being correct, that's truly foolish.
With his idol right in front of him, Barry was so excited he stammered, "That's right, I'm Barry the Man, no, I'm Flash Allen, oops, I'm the Flash! Spider-Man, I'm your biggest fan, I've liked you since I was a kid."
Du Mu chuckled and said, "You look a bit older than I am. I've only been in the business for a month or two."
Barry quickly explained, "I meant Spider-Man from the comics. I read Marvel comics when I was a kid, and I have the complete Spider-Man comic book series and various figurines at home. I never imagined there was actually a Spider-Man in real life!"
"Of course, whether in comics or in real life, you're my idol. Um... could you sign your autograph for me?"
Du Mu was a little surprised. No wonder the other person had such a high level of favorability; it turned out that the other person was a fan of his.
"Of course, no problem."
Du Mu readily agreed.
He pulled out a marker, reached out and grabbed the black cape behind Bruce, quickly signed Spider-Man on it, then tore off a piece and handed it to Barry.
Bruce's face darkened instantly, and he gave Ganmu a death stare.
Barry carefully took the cape fragment, treasuring it dearly, and repeatedly expressed his gratitude: "Thank you, Spider-Man! You're a great hero!"
"No, my friend, you are the real hero."
Du Mu patted Barry on the shoulder and asked cheerfully, "I see you have extraordinary potential; you'd be great material to be a superhero. Interested in joining our team? Our team has..."
"7
"I do!"
Before Du Mu could finish speaking, Barry agreed without hesitation.
He asked excitedly, "What's the name of our team?"
"The Super Seven, how about it? Isn't that a cool name?"
"Indeed, it sounds like a heroic group."
"5
""
Bruce watched the two idiots' conversation and suddenly felt that the team's future was bleak.
Bang!
A loud bang was heard, and a dark figure flew towards them.
Du Mu narrowed his eyes, immediately pushed Barry aside, and reached out to catch the dark figure steadily in mid-air.
Looking down, he saw that he was holding Diana in his arms.
Du Mu said earnestly, "You saved me last time, and I saved you this time. Now we're even. We owe each other nothing from now on. You can't take advantage of my kindness and try to take advantage of me."
Diana said expressionlessly, "Before you say that, could you please take your hands off my legs?"
"Oh, sorry, I forgot."
Du Mu, with his eyes fixed straight ahead and the demeanor of a virtuous gentleman, slowly lowered Diana down.
To maintain his gentlemanly demeanor, he moved exceptionally slowly, as if afraid that Diana might accidentally fall.
What should have been a half-second action took more than five seconds to complete.
Diana rolled her eyes dramatically.
She must have been blind to associate this guy with Steve.
However, she didn't care about these trivial matters. Her gaze returned to the two Kryptonian warriors in the distance, and she whispered, "It's good that you're still alive. Come with me and take care of them."
Du Mu waved his hand: "No need, I can handle these two. You can rest for a while."
After saying that, he started walking slowly toward the two Kryptonian warriors.
The two Kryptonian warriors tensed up instantly and took a half-step back to create distance.
They had already shared intelligence and knew that the person in front of them possessed kryptonite, which could counter them. The only way to deal with Du Mu was to keep their distance and wear him down.
Du Mu saw through their thoughts and chuckled, "Don't worry, you two are just cannon fodder, not worth my money."
He raised his hand, removed the kryptonite embedded in the back of his right hand, and casually tossed it to Bruce behind him for safekeeping.
Immediately afterwards, Du Mu beckoned to the two Kryptonian warriors: "Your general has died by my hand. You are now the last remnants of the invasion of Earth. As long as you can defeat me, I will let you leave Earth alive."
"General Zod is dead?"
The two Kryptonian warriors' expressions changed drastically, their eyes filled with shock and disbelief.
They immediately contacted General Zod, but received no response.
After a brief silence, the two simultaneously erupted in angry and desperate roars.
General Zod was their leader and the last pillar of their Kryptonian reconstruction plan. His death meant that their Kryptonian reconstruction plan had failed.
They completely lost hope, all their reason collapsed instantly, and regardless of whether Du Mu had any ulterior motives, the two of them, with red eyes, charged towards Du Mu at the same time.
The Kryptonian warrior on the left threw the first punch, his fist hurtling straight at Du Mu's face with a whooshing sound.
Du Mu neither dodged nor evaded, but directly raised his fist to meet the attack.
The sun was blazing, and the Sin of Pride skill was at its peak. His entire body was frantically absorbing the sun's energy, and all his stats were skyrocketing.
Bang! !
The two fists collided without any fancy moves, producing a muffled blast of air, followed by a sharp, teeth-grinding cracking sound.
The Kryptonian warrior's fist bones shattered inch by inch, starting from his knuckles. The enormous recoil force traveled up his arm and throughout his entire body. Before he could even scream, he was blasted away, his body leaving a long trail on the asphalt.
"So strong!"
Du Mu grinned.
With the blessing of the Sin of Pride, these Kryptonian minions are no match for him.
Upon seeing this, the Kryptonian warrior on the right immediately stopped in his tracks, glaring fiercely at Du Mu. His eyes suddenly flashed with a blinding red light, and two scorching rays of heat shot straight towards Du Mu, causing the air to distort slightly.
"What are you looking at!?"
Du Mu, never one to back down, immediately glared back, his eyes shooting out two thick beams of yellow lightning.
Two streams of energy, one hot and one electric, collided violently in mid-air. Without any stalemate, the Kryptonian's heat ray was almost instantly swallowed by the electric light, and the yellow electric light continued its momentum, directly smearing the Kryptonian warrior's face.
"Ugh!"
A harsh groan erupted as the Kryptonian warrior convulsed violently, his entire body engulfed in a burst of electric light, slamming him to the ground, causing the earth to tremble.
His entire face was charred black from the electric shock, and his eyes were severely damaged, emitting wisps of black smoke.
As the Kryptonian warrior struggled to his feet on the ground, Du Mu leaped down from the air and stomped heavily on his head.
The asphalt road surface cracked with dense, spiderweb-like patterns, and the Kryptonian warrior froze, then fell silent.
In just a few seconds, the two Kryptonian warriors were completely defeated.
