Comic: Becoming a Phantom Thief to Steal Hearts

Before anyone could react, Lionel flew out of the window and flew towards Beach City without looking back.

Lionel felt very heavy at the moment. When the light fell from the sky, ordinary people might only feel the violent vibration, but it was different for him with super hearing.

He could hear lives bursting like exploding balloons under the violent explosion. The sound covered by the explosion was so insignificant, but it represented the loss of lives.

The experience of these past few months seemed a bit too much for a half-Kryptonian less than a year old.

He came above Beach City.

A huge crater is left on the outskirts of Seaside City, as if it had been hit by a meteorite.

The center of the crater is sunken for an unknown number of meters, and the slope is very steep. As you go down, the soil turns red, and many places are burned into crystals by high temperatures. Some rocks melt and turn into magma that reaches thousands of degrees, emitting an incandescent light. Flow down the slope.

Beach City disappeared.

This originally bustling seaside city was easily destroyed, along with the eight million people living there who had no time to evacuate.

Lionel lowered his head and looked at the deserted pit, feeling inexplicable sadness well up in his heart.

The cell phone in his pocket suddenly rang.

"Where have you been?" Luther asked on the screen.

Lionel was originally in a state of confinement, but when Luther saw many demon-like enemies in the city, he knew something must be wrong.

Superman is still dead to the outside world, and the Justice League has to deal with Mongol, and the defense of the earth is vacant.

Luther immediately realized that this was a unique opportunity, an excellent opportunity to gain favor with the citizens of Metropolis.

As a result, Lionel was released to fight against the sudden army of demons. However, Luther did not expect that Superboy, who was originally dedicated to his work, was directly abducted by Spider-Man. There was no news for a long time. The signal of the weapon appeared again, and the demon army had been wiped out by the mages who came to support.

Luthor's face didn't look good now. He looked at Lionel's appearance that resembled Superman, and once again felt a trace of regret in his heart.

The Superboy he spent so much resources recreating kept letting him down, and it seemed like the money was wasted.

However, Lionel had not seen Luther's emotions yet. He turned his blue eyes slightly and said, "I am in Beach City now."

There was still some hope left in Lionel's heart, hoping that the guardian was not as cold as he saw.

However, Luther frowned. The sudden heavy workload made him very irritated, and he did not pay attention to Lionel's awkward little thoughts.

"What are you doing there? There's nothing there now." Luther said impatiently, "Something big has happened. I need you to stay in Metropolis."

The light in Lionel's eyes disappeared.

"Lex, you're not my boss."

"I really am." Luther pointed to his arm.

Lionel looked at his arm, where the Lex Group logo was pinned to his black leather coat.

"I thought..." Lionel opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't say those words. Finally, his expression became firm, "But it's not the case now, and it won't be the case in the future."

Seeing the struggle between Raven and the Three Palaces, he seemed to understand that obedience was not the only way, and he could definitely take the path he believed in.

So, Lionel tore off the logo on his arm, held it in his hand and looked at it for a few seconds, then let go of it without any hesitation, letting it go with the wind.

"Lionel!" Luther's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot. Although he had the idea of ​​destroying Lionel, he never expected that Lionel would betray him first, just like carefully The feeling of a raised milk dog biting his hand.

"I warned you..."

Not wanting to hear what Luther said next, Lionel hung up the phone first. Looking at the black screen of his phone, he felt a lot more relaxed.

Turning his eyes to the silent seaside city again, Lionel's voice dropped.

"Sweet dreams, Beach City..."

"Click"

There was a sudden sound like breaking glass in the air.

"Huh?" Lionel made a suspicious nasal sound.

In a place of absolute silence, any sound he made was crystal clear to him.

"illusion?"

"Kakaka..."

As soon as he finished speaking, this strange sound in the air sounded more frequently.

Lionel's eyes widened in shock.

There were many dense gaps in the space in front of me, it was really like looking through a mirror that was about to break.

"What the hell..."

Lionel couldn't help but stepped forward and touched it with his fingertips.

"bang"

The mirror-like space suddenly shattered, and among the debris in the sky, he saw the reality.

The huge pothole disappeared, replaced by a complete seaside city, and the noisy voices filled my ears again.

This time, Lionel did not complain about the noise at this moment, but murmured in great shock: "Beach City...is everything okay?!"

Not only Lionel was floating in the air, but the people in Beach City also looked like they were surviving the disaster.

Some people couldn't help but groped their whole bodies, trying to confirm that they were not missing any organs. Some people hugged their family and friends excitedly, muttering excitedly, and some people ran and jumped on the street to vent their anger, thanking God. Bless.

For these eight million people, what just happened was too incredible.

The moment the light beam descended, the entire world was enveloped in a layer of white light that could see nothing.

Everyone felt as if they were in another latitude, watching helplessly as a shock wave visible to the naked eye pushed away the air, forming a ring that spread at a speed of kilometers per second, directly blowing away the surrounding buildings. Crush.

This feeling is really wonderful, as if they have all turned into a group of ghosts, watching their hometown be destroyed.

As the temperature at the center of the explosion gradually decreased, the light yellow-white color of the entire space gradually turned into light yellow, yellow, and then orange and red, changing with the attenuation of the temperature.

The energy is flowing continuously, the terrible high temperature distorts the air, shock waves burst out, and the earth waves roll. The area covered by the light pillar has become a crater landform, and the area is still expanding rapidly.

Countless people's faces were illuminated by white light, their faces dull, and only light beams remained in their sight.

Suddenly, the accumulated energy exploded with greater force than before. The fire and smoke spread at high speed, like an ever-expanding cover, and the howling hot wind swept out.

"Are we already dead?" Someone couldn't help but said to himself.

It wasn't until everything fell silent that everyone realized that the tragic image of being destroyed was like a faint shadow floating on them, and that the people and objects around them actually looked intact.

"This must be a miracle!"

"God bless us!"

Except for the blessing of gods, people could not find any reason, but in the dark corner, someone was lying on the ground like a dead body.

"...I feel like I'm going to be drained dry." He said quietly, "I have never felt that mirror magic consumes so much magic power."

"I really didn't expect that the big crisis you were talking about that needed to be dealt with was this." Jason grinned and said, "You really had to tell me earlier, otherwise I would definitely have prepared weeks earlier!"

"Yes, yes, even if it's for an experiment, have you ever thought about what would happen if my magic didn't succeed? Are the two of us committing suicide for our love? That would be too tragic."

"Death is true, but this is completely different." Jason sighed.

It is his own business to die alone, but if he failed just now, eight million people would die. This responsibility is really unbearable.

"You helped me just now, thank you." Jason said.

He knew that he alone would not be able to sustain the magic that protected an entire city.

"Can you still hold on?" he asked.

Jason fell into a brief silence after hearing the answer.

"...I also know your situation, but is there really no other way?"

"Okay, if this is your choice." Jason propped up his weak body, "You have helped me so much, then I will definitely help you with all my strength, after all..."

The blue-green eyes reflected a face exactly like his own.

"Jason help Jason."

……

The superheroes defeated the enemies from the universe, but they also saw the blow from the war world to the earth. They obviously won, but everyone looked unhappy.

Looking at the crowds who warmly welcomed him back, the Flash couldn't help but ask, "Um...where did that shot fall, and what was the damage?"

The reporter was stunned for a moment, "Landed in Beach City..."

"What?!" The Flash opened his eyes wide, but someone was faster than him.

Green Lantern Hal Jordan grabbed the reporter's collar in full view of everyone, his voice trembling, "You...what did you just say?"

Hal previously went to Oua for the alien virus that was released on the earth. He just happened to return from the battle with Mongo. Before returning to the earth, he was still bragging to everyone about his timely return and giving Mongo the final blow. one strike.

However, at this time, great joy gave rise to sorrow, and the sudden bad news made the strongest Green Lantern unable to bear it for a while.

"No, no, no." The reporter finally responded, "Beach City is fine."

"Ah..." Hal took back his hand, "I don't like this joke."

After he finished speaking, he flew directly in the direction of Beach City. No matter what, he had to confirm it with his own eyes.

"Is Beach City really okay?" Iron Man checked the information on the Internet. After all, everyone could clearly see Meng Ge's action of pressing the button.

"Huh? God blessed Beach City?" Iron Man said in confusion.

Also rushing to Coast City at the same time were the two mages from Kama Taj.

"Have you seen that video, Wang?" Strange frowned and said, "That magic is the mirror space."

Mirror space is the most famous magic of Master Gu Yi. Its principle is to construct a space that is exactly the same as the space in which it is located, overlapping the original space, so that people cannot tell whether they exist in a false or real world.

Due to the many aspects involved, this magic is too difficult. Only a few people have mastered it over the years. In this generation, besides Strange, it is Jason.

"I know, it should be Jason." Wang sighed, worry flashing in his eyes, "This kid is too messy!"

They all knew that even though Jason was very talented, he was not the Supreme Mage after all. Protecting an entire city's magic was too much for him.

"Tell me where Jason Todd is." Strange used a tracking magic.

An arrow that only mages can see appeared in front of them. Strange and Wang looked at each other. It was a good thing to find Jason, but as a mage, he could be pointed out by the most basic tracking magic. This This also shows that Jason's current state must be very bad, and he can't even use the anti-tracking magic.

Strange's face was dark, "I told you to watch Jason carefully. I hope what we find is not a mummy!"

"Don't curse the child yet." Wang said speechlessly.

Strange snorted coldly and walked aggressively in the direction of the arrow.

Looking at Strange's back, Wang shook his head. This guy is just a hard-spoken man with a soft heart.

When the two found Jason in the abandoned warehouse, someone was lying on the magic circle that had lost its function.

"Yo." Jason raised his head and greeted the two of them.

Seeing that Jason still had the energy to say hello, Strange was relieved in his heart, but the expression on his face became more and more cold. He came straight to Jason and took a look at the magic circle on the ground.

"Should I praise you for remembering to draw a magic circle that condenses magic power?" Strange said with a sneer.

"Tsk, time is too urgent." Jason said, "It won't be like this next time."

"You want another time?!"

Wang first checked Jason's body and breathed a sigh of relief after finding that he was just out of strength. He looked at him reproachfully, "This time, you were indeed too impulsive."

He didn't know why Jason knew something was going to happen in Beach City. He and Strange were no different from everyone else who was watching the light beam falling. Only Jason came to Beach City as if he knew something in advance and tried his best to protect it. Everyone in this city, but...

"Next time you encounter something like this, you need to tell us." Wang said, "I brought you out. If something happens to you, how should I explain to Master Gu Yi?"

Faced with Wang's concerned words, Jason looked away uncomfortably. He thought of the master who always had a smile on his face. Master Gu Yi probably knew about it, not to mention that in Kama Taj Learning magic is a transaction between two people.

"...I'm sorry, Wang." Jason said.

But Wang's concern for him was genuine.

"Well, let me take you back to Kama Taj to raise you first." Wang drew a circle, and the scene of Kama Taj appeared on the other side of the circle.

But Jason shook his head, "I won't go back."

"what?"

Jason stood up reluctantly, "My goal has been achieved, Master Ancient One, thank you for your teaching this year."

The voice of Master Gu Yi came from the other side of the circle.

"You're welcome, Jason, it's a deal, but you can always come back to Karma Taj."

Jason raised his lips slightly, "Thank you, Master."
