Martin Variety in American Comics.

Chapter 338 Nothing Can Be Done (Please Subscribe, Read, and Comment)
Martin did not use any magic. He poured all his magical power into his body. The bones began to swell first, and then the muscle fibers became thicker.

Ten steps later, Martin's body suddenly grew in size and turned into a five-meter-tall little giant. The gun and shield in his hands and the armor on his body also changed accordingly.

The tiger on the big shield, the fire dragon on the spear, and the various Taiping Dao scriptures on the armor lit up one by one, transforming into all kinds of magical images, like a torrent descending from the sky, following the direction pointed by Martin's spear tip, and charging forward like thousands of troops.

The tree demon was so frightened that it had no idea what to do to survive the horrific attack.

Out of instinct, it shook its body, spit out evil wind, spread poisonous water, and used its roots to drive the land, but none of these could stop Martin from moving forward.

The confusing evil wind and poisonous green water were all dispersed by the Yellow Sky Qi and spread out to both wings, like an advancing battle line, directly rolling over and tearing apart all the tree roots that pounced on Barbara.

"Stop struggling and accept your death!"

Every step Martin took forward left a big footprint on the ground. The ground was shaken by his steps, and cracks appeared, revealing the body of the tree demon.

This time there was no longer any obstruction. Martin held the tail end of the spear, rushed to the front of the waist, and stabbed the spear out fiercely. A fierce flame broke out, burning the branches to ashes, and the tip of the spear directly penetrated into the trunk.

The spear had absorbed the fire energy gathered from the five fire flags, and sent the flames into the body of the tree monster, where they began to spread upward and downward along the trunk.

"No, I don't want to..."

"Help me, help me!"

The tree demon shook its body in fear, trying to call for help from some special existence.

"Forget about it! Even if I send a great immortal down to the mortal world today, he won't be able to save your life!"

Martin let go of his gun and shield, and began to form seals with his hands. The Huangtian Qi in his body surged and turned into smoke and clouds that overlapped like mountains, and finally formed a talisman at the core.

The reason why the Taiping Dao was able to sweep across the entire Han Dynasty in a short period of time was because of its ideals of a peaceful world and its talismans for curing diseases and saving lives.

The ideal of a peaceful world rose up and transformed into Huang Tian, becoming the Emperor of Heaven "Zhong Huang Taiyi".

The talismans that can cure diseases and save lives have become a powerful weapon for the Taoist priests of the Taiping period to travel in the world.

In people's impression, the talisman of Taiping Dao is nothing more than the bowl of talisman water that can cure diseases and save lives, but the various killing techniques created to deal with the Han court's divine generals are equally fierce.

Martin gathered the energy of Huang Tian into a great edict of killing and slapped the tree trunk with both hands.

Snapped!
He simply used brute force to make a deep mark on the tree trunk, and then the talisman symbolizing killing was driven directly into the trunk.

The energy of Huang Tian burst out, instantly illuminating the body of the tree monster. The mighty force surged like a wave, washing over the tree monster from the inside out.

Its body, its soul, its magic power...all began to fall apart under the impact of the Yellow Sky Qi.

With one great decree, the sky collapsed and the earth split!

The tree demon only thought of giving up his body at this time, and wandering the world as a ghost. Although doing so means giving up his body and the magic power he had worked so hard to cultivate, at least he can keep his life and try to make a comeback.

But it made this decision too late.

The killing decree directly tore apart everything of the tree monster. It only felt that the sky was cracking, the earth was collapsing, and the whole world was constantly turning around and being torn apart.

It couldn't even feel what was happening, and thought it had successfully separated the Yin Spirit from its body. It flew out and wanted to leave in the wind.

But after flying only a few meters, it saw its body torn into pieces by the exploding Yellow Sky Qi, turning into countless tiny particles and scattering on the ground.

"I will definitely seek revenge on you, damn Taoist priest. No matter what the price, I will make you feel the pain of being torn into pieces."

The tree demon didn't see its own appearance and was still cursing Martin, flying away.

A talisman emerged from the tree demon's Yin spirit, and then it disappeared between heaven and earth, as if it had never existed.

"This is unreasonable!"

Martin dealt with the tree demon and picked up the gun and shield again, but did not reduce his size.

After the tree demon disappeared, a large empty hole was left on the ground. The space that was once supported by the tree roots now had no support and began to collapse.

Looking from far away in the sky, this hole looks like a horrible scar on the earth, which makes people shudder.

"This place is about to collapse, what are you waiting for?"

Barbara saw the tree demon disappear, put away the long knife, saw Martin standing on the edge of the hole that was about to collapse, and rushed directly to him.

Martin maintained a god-like state. Barbara wanted to drag him away, but she couldn't. She could only urge him anxiously with words.

"I'm waiting for something else to pop up!"

Martin thrust his spear into the ground, and the collapsing hole instantly froze in place and was directly frozen.

"A group of zombies and a thousand-year-old tree demon. These two things have nothing to do with Gotham. Why did they appear in this city?"

Martin is not a conspiracy theorist, but the city of Gotham is too special.

Creatures like zombies and thousand-year-old tree demons, which look powerful, cannot survive in Gotham.

Because this city is the stage specially created by Barbatos for Batman. Although Barbatos's vassals were driven away by Martin, the huge amount of electrum in every corner of this city has caused zombies to appear in Gotham.

Because these evils are too low-level and cannot compete with the power of Barbatos.

"So what if there's something fishy about this matter?"

Barbara looked at her watch. There was no way to determine the time in Gotham by the sun in the sky.

"You turned the entire cemetery upside down, and the tree demon was turned into dust by your magic. There is nothing left. There are no clues. There is no place to find it even if we want to investigate."

Barbara didn't see anything in the cemetery and wanted to persuade Martin to leave first and then make plans.

"Oh, I should have held back before!"

Martin knocked his head with some regret, then put away his gun and shield. His magic power faded and his body began to return to its human size.

"Even if only some of his soul is left, I can use magic to find something from his memory."

Martin didn't say much. He was actually so impatient to protect Barbara.

At that time, the tree demon focused its attack on Barbara.

Even if Barbara is agile, she might encounter some accidents when facing an attack from a monster with thousands of years of experience.

So Martin used heavy force and beat the tree demon to pieces.

He does not regret this decision. Even if he had to do it again a thousand times, he would still make the same choice without hesitation.

In response to Barbara's persuasion, he nodded heavily and walked out of the cemetery with her.

"Stay away for now. I'll handle the situation."

After Martin left the range of the hole, he prepared to withdraw his magic power and restore the hole created by the tree demon.

All the zombies in the cemetery were beaten into powder by Martin. Although the corpses did not survive, they all became part of the soil as the cemetery turned over.

However, most of the bodies in this cemetery were turned over by the gravekeepers to see if there were any parts on the bodies that could be sold on the black market. After such a tossing, most of the bodies were destroyed by the gravekeepers, torn into pieces, and thrown directly into the coffins and buried again.

So even if Martin carefully protects these zombies, the families of the deceased will not get a complete body in the end.

Boom!
Martin stomped his foot on the ground, and the magic power left behind disappeared instantly. The hole, without any object to support it, collapsed at a faster speed.

The khaki dust mist rose up and directly covered the entire cemetery.

Martin took out the "Shi Gan Dang", the spirit stone spun twice in his palm, then he smashed it directly to the ground, and began to gather the vitality from the surroundings.

Earth is thick and has a cohesive force.

The spirit stone fell to the ground, and the dust that was originally rising into the sky instantly fell to the ground. The soil around it also began to gather, and the collapsed hole began to slowly bulge.

Without the gentle spring rain, there will be no spring for the dead tree.

Martin simply filled the sunken hole in a hurry, summoned the spirit stone back, and prepared to leave.

"I hope that the relatives of those bodies will not come after me after seeing the cemetery become like this."

Martin put aside the question of the tree demon's origin for the time being and prepared to leave with Barbara.

Barbara didn't actually care about any of this. She felt sorry for the families of the deceased, but that was all.

"Gotham is such a chaotic place, and everyone knows it. Although selling corpses is shameful, it is profitable. Those who participate in this business are not just gravekeepers."

Although Barbara didn't say it explicitly, Martin understood the implication of her words.

It's not just cemeteries and hospitals that sell corpses. If the family members of the deceased are desperate or have completely lost hope in life, selling corpses is not a big deal.

"Gotham has been run by the Court of Owls for hundreds of years. There are electrum hidden everywhere, and with the power of Barbatos, it is not so easy to change."

Martin confessed: "I even thought about destroying Gotham and rebuilding it. But I thought you wouldn't accept such a plan, so I gave up."

When Barbara heard the first half of Martin's sentence, her heart jumped into her throat.

If anyone else said something like this, Barbara would just think that person was a lunatic.

But Martin not only has the ability and means, but most importantly, he will never show mercy if necessary.

Fortunately, Martin didn't have the habit of panting when he spoke. Barbara's heart sank again when she heard the second half of his words.

"Just don't tell Bruce about this idea, otherwise he will go crazy and monitor you."

Martin smiled and shook his head: “Actually, I don’t need to make such a plan at all.

The Earth will soon enter a new era. Enemies in the universe have already noticed this place. The preliminary probing and reconnaissance have been completed, and now it’s time to get serious.”

"Are you kidding me? Aliens?"

Barbara was very surprised, as she did not expect Martin to reveal such shocking news.

Martin frowned at her and said, "The Alliance has already announced this information. Why are you surprised?"

"Uh……"

Barbara felt uncomfortable with Martin's gaze, and replied with a sullen smile, "I've been busy enjoying the feeling of being free recently and haven't paid any attention to these things."

“You are also…”

Martin was very surprised. In his impression, Barbara was a very self-aware person, but he didn't expect that she would treat the alliance's affairs in this way.

Barbara subconsciously closed her eyes and turned her head away, afraid of seeing Martin's disappointed look.

"Forget it, this isn't your fault."

Martin did want to teach Barbara a lesson with words, but then he gave up the idea:
"Since the establishment of the alliance, many major issues have been discussed with Bruce, Clark, Diana and others by me, and then the decisions have been made. You are just executing, and you have no sense of participation. It is normal that you cannot feel the authority of the alliance."

"So you want us to join the discussion in the future?"

Barbara's eyes suddenly lit up. She didn't know the situation of the alliance yet, so she was naturally curious.

"It depends!"

Martin has no interest in one person, one vote.

Although in theory, superheroes are more suitable for the order under the context of neoliberalism.

But this is not the case, the members of the so-called Big Six do not just have special abilities.

"However, you will need to receive training later, at least to understand the alliance's system first."

As Martin spoke, sirens were heard in the distance.

Gordon had received Martin's call a long time ago, but the Gotham police finally arrived after he had solved the trouble in the cemetery.

"This speed...well, it's fast even for Gotham police."

Martin complained about the speed at which the Gotham police acted.

But in fact, this is already an efficient action by the Gotham police.

The police in the United States are trained thugs. Even in the best cities, scandals and violent incidents break out from time to time.

The Gotham City government is basically at a standstill. The police and other thugs cannot benefit from the order, so they naturally turn to various gangs.

Bruce had long had the idea of performing surgery on Gotham, but before there was only the Bat Family, who were weak and could destroy but not build.

With the help of the Justice League, Bruce was able to free himself and start taking action against the people in the city government.

But it will take time for this thing to take effect, and it will take some time for it to affect the Gotham police.

"Let's just..."

Martin wanted to tease Gordon, a daughter slave, but suddenly he smelled something unusual.

Without even thinking, he raised his hand and pushed Barbara out of the cemetery. She rolled two hundred meters before stopping.

Then, Barbara, who was unharmed, watched as the cemetery suddenly came alive and turned into an evil creature with a dark base, countless hands and countless eyes, and it opened its mouth and swallowed Martin into its stomach.

Then, the evil creature disappeared.

Martin also disappeared, and only an empty space was left in the cemetery.

Barbara watched all this happen but could do nothing.
