American Comics: Today's Big News

Chapter 94 I'm Not Human Anymore!

Gotham police officers looked up at the monster and drew their pistols to return fire.

The monster looked slender, but bullets couldn't hurt it at all.

As the three thin legs rose and fell, the nearest fire truck was destroyed on the spot, and the gasoline leaking from inside the vehicle caused it to explode again.

[Submit or not?]

Connors looked up at the monster's slender, arthropod-like limbs. The gossip system made him realize that the event that led to the formation of the original Justice League in the comics, the "Invasion of the Hundred Martians," was just beginning.

The monster before us is a biological machine created by the White Martians for combat.

Superman was defeated in the first wave of attacks and lay on the ground for a long time without getting up.

The white Martian bio-machine ignored "Superman" Clark, who was temporarily rendered incapacitated by the reappearance of chaotic and abstract images in his brain.

It seemed to be simply following its destructive instincts, beginning to fire beams of light capable of piercing everything in all directions.

In an instant, the surrounding buildings, which were already on the verge of collapse, collapsed, and dust and smoke scattered everywhere.

Just then, with the roar of fighter jets, Batman flew across the sky in his bat wings and met the strange-looking alien creature.

Two missiles detached from the bat's wings and flew straight toward the giant creature, causing a violent explosion on its surface.

Although it was still not damaged in the slightest, attention shifted from the destruction of the surroundings to Batman.

Batman, piloting the Batwing, began his performance in the air. In his hands, the fighter jet truly seemed to become a nimble, oversized bat, constantly maneuvering and turning in the air, leading it towards the outskirts of Gotham.

Superman took to the air again, but this time he didn't use his heat vision; instead, he closed in on the monster.

The fist blasted out, carrying a sonic boom cloud.

With a muffled thud, the monster was knocked over by Superman's punch and fell to the ground. Batman then fired countless bullets from the sky, which kept hitting the monster with a series of rapid bursts.

"Superman" Clark flew through the air and stood on the monster's head, punching the huge, red patch that resembled an eye again and again, successfully shattering it.

Clark reached in and forcefully pried open the red patch, revealing the biological tissue inside. Batman seized the opportunity to throw a Molotov cocktail into it.

Since his lack of firepower against the Kryptonians last time, it seems that Batman has completely upgraded his weapon system and is now using firearms. Connors' "Athena's Vision" allowed him to see the details of Batman and Superman's weapons when they fought the White Martians, which impressed him.

"Little Pa, look!"

Harley pointed in the direction of the meteorite.

The meteorite had been dormant after the first monster emerged, but now, with the first monster falling, it has begun to stir again.

The second monster, the third, and the fourth.

However, after defeating the first monster, Superman looked up and let out a mournful cry, then turned and flew away, leaving the remaining monsters all to Batman alone.

"He actually ran away, Papa. Isn't it your turn to step up? I remember you seemed to be about to use some new move at the edge of Gotham Forest."

Harley Quinn watched Superman fly away with a start, then poked Connors' cheek with her finger.

"We can't kill them all. Let's go watch the news." Connors grabbed Harley's playful little hand and said, "Watch the news?"

Harley didn't understand why Connors was suddenly interested in the news.

But having spent some time in Gotham Forest, she now emerged like a wild woman, finding everything new and intriguing, and eagerly followed Connors around.

Batman is struggling alone against the three-headed monster, the Flash is nowhere to be found, and Wonder Woman has not arrived in Gotham.

You don't need to go back to your apartment to watch the news; there are large screens right there on Gotham's main streets, showing anchors speaking on screen.

"The alien attack paralyzed Gotham's major transportation systems."

"At the same time, we received reports that more and more similar monsters are landing around the world, including Paris,"

Cairo, Malaya — the numbers are increasing exponentially per hour.

"We need the help of superheroes, but at this time Batman is fighting hard in Gotham, Wonder Woman is fighting five against one in Boston, the Flash is struggling in Central City, and Aquaman has come to the ground to join the battle."

"Faced with an increasing number of monsters and damage, everyone has one question in their mind—"

"Where was Superman when we needed him most?"

Harley Quinn watched with curiosity as the news footage switched between different parts of the world, and said with some confusion:

"Wouldn't these extraterrestrial beings be affected by the bacteria and fungi here if they came to Earth?"

Little did I know that Connors looked at Harley with some surprise:

"No wonder Ivy gave you the Ashes of Withering."

Harley Quinn blinked, looking confused.

Connors had no intention of steer the conversation off course. Instead, he used the ability to "magnify" and "fallen warhorse" once again to fly swiftly toward the World Congress building.

World Parliament Building.

"Superman" Clark is currently violently destroying an underground entrance with his fists.

Clark tore apart one heavy iron door after another, following the images that kept appearing in his mind, until he arrived at a place that resembled a laboratory.

On the enormous experimental apparatus, a green humanoid creature is trapped inside, its eyes tightly closed.

Clark used violence to tear open the experimental equipment binding the green creature, released it, and supported its extremely weak state.

"If you had been a second later, I could have opened the machine and saved you the trouble."

Connors brought Harley here and spoke to "Superman" Clark.

Clark, supporting the green creature, said, "He had been trying to contact me telepathically, but it was all interfered with by the static magnetic field. Fortunately, with the arrival of the alien creature, he used telepathy continuously, and finally I found this place."

"I came to Earth to warn you, but I was captured and imprisoned here by Earthlings who are trying to study me in order to develop their own 'superman'."

The green humanoid creature seemed to recover from its weakness very quickly, and stood up straight as it spoke.

"It's very strange that all three of you believed what I said, but I still need to change my appearance; perhaps that will make things better."

After saying that, he changed from a pointed head and slender body to a more human-like appearance, but still green and dressed—he had been naked before.

"I am John Jones, I am—"

Connors continued, picking up where John Jones left off:

"Mars Manhunter, right?"

John Jones, one of the seven pillars of the Justice League, also known as "Mars Manhunter".

John nodded, confirming Connors's idea.

"Superman" Clark wasn't surprised by Connors's performance; if Connors hadn't come, he wouldn't have been surprised at all.

That's why he would find it strange:

"We must unite armed forces worldwide to combat this—"

Before he could finish speaking, the sounds of gunfire and treading tracks rang out outside, and searchlights shone in his direction.

"Halt! Superman! And you guys over there! You've trespassed into a restricted area. I order you to surrender immediately, and leave that green monster here!"

The World Congress official was surrounded by armed guards, he said loudly.

"Superman" Clark quickly pulled the crowd behind him:

"Wait, I'll vouch for John Jones; he's the key to this disaster!"

The World Parliament officials shook their heads, and other officials walked over and blocked their way:

"No way."

"No, this is the only way to save the world!" Clark said urgently.

"That's why we can't let him leave alive."

World Congress officials said that his body then began to deform, twist, and melt.

Everyone turned into slender, white, cheese-like creatures covered in black mold.

They are all white Martians who have invaded Earth, and the members of the World Council have long been infiltrated!

(As shown in the picture)

Superman Clark never expected this to happen; his pupils dilated, and he looked utterly shocked.

The white Martians gradually surrounded them, and at this moment, Connors suddenly stepped forward to meet them.

"Here it comes, here it comes, Little Parr is about to use his new trick!" Harley Quinn clapped her hands and laughed.

As Connors and the white Martian drew closer, "Mars Manhunter" John Jones frowned.

Standing in front of the White Martian, Connors turned and smiled at Clark and the others, then began to use his ability "Mimicry," targeting the White Martian.

As his body twisted and melted, Connors also transformed into a white figure with a hollowed-out body:

"I'm sorry, I'm an undercover agent."

"I'm not human anymore!" Connors thought to himself as he watched Clark's dumbfounded expression, Harley's shocked look, and John Jones's puzzled expression.
