Meiman: The Heavens Plunder!

Chapter 313 The Martian Manhunter who hides his identity!

Atlanna in the crowd looked at Steppenwolf and others coldly.

This magic circle was set up by combining Atlantis' magical knowledge and technology with the help of Luo Mingfa.

If Steppenwolf is teleported directly through the Mother Box, she can directly activate the magic circle and catch a turtle in a jar.

Now it's okay for Steppenwolf to attack from the outside, and the magic circle can also be turned into a protective magic circle.

Looking at the enemy outside the protective barrier, Atlanna immediately gave the order!

"Fire!"

"Roger that!"

The next second, countless cannonballs, energy beams, etc. were shot from various turrets, hitting Steppenwolf and others.

Atlantis's technological level is not weak to begin with, and this is Atlantis's base camp.

How could they, who were in a favorable location, not use high-tech weapons and foolishly fight in hand-to-hand combat with Steppenwolf and others?

Seeing the overwhelming fire attack, Steppenwolf's expression changed drastically!

It tried to dodge, but couldn't.

The only thing he could do was hold his own weapon in front of him to block the attack.

Steppenwolf can still resist, but his men don't have the ability to do so.

Under the cover of powerful firepower, all the demon-like troops let out a scream and were blown to pieces!

Realizing this situation, Steppenwolf was furious, but there was nothing he could do.

"Damn guardian, I will definitely come back!"

"I will eventually get the Mother Box, and then you will fall into fear forever!"

After putting down the harsh words, Steppenwolf took out a device and slapped it, and a ball of energy light immediately formed surrounding it.

The ball of light withstood the fire attack and protected Steppenwolf.

Then Steppenwolf's body flashed and disappeared in place, and the ball of light dissipated.

Atlanna from afar saw this and quickly understood.

Steppenwolf used a space teleportation device to teleport himself away.

Steppenwolf left, and the remaining demon-like soldiers were all blasted to pieces in a short time.

Out of caution, Atlanna scanned the sea area repeatedly to confirm that Steppenwolf had really left before disarming the magic circle.

Then, she contacted Luo Ming and told him what happened here.

After learning that Steppenwolf failed to snatch the Mother Box and was repelled by Atlanna, Luo Ming was not surprised.

Steppenwolf's strength is not bad. In the original work, Diana, Batman, Cyborg, The Flash, and Aquaman combined cannot defeat him.

It's not surprising that Atlanna can't defeat Steppenwolf head-on.

It is normal to rely on weapons and magic circles to repel Steppenwolf.

…………

metropolis.

In a certain military base.

General Swannick returned to his lounge after a busy day.

The recent emergence of Steppenwolf and demonoids has attracted the attention of major countries in the world.

The person responsible for dealing with supernatural events is naturally very busy.

Back in the lounge, Swannick was stunned because he found someone waiting for him inside.

A young man sat on his chair and looked at him seriously.

Upon closer inspection, Swannick recognized the young man's identity.

"Luo Ming, super traveler, why did he come to me?"

As one of the persons in charge of supernatural events in the Kingdom of Ugly, Swannick knows all about the major superheroes in the Kingdom of Ugly.

Not to mention his true identity, so he knew Luo Ming.

Doubts arose in his mind, but Swannick remained calm on the surface and looked at Luo Ming seriously.

"It is illegal to break into a military base without permission, Mr. Luo Ming?"

Seeing Swannick taking the lead in attacking him, Luo Ming smiled and didn't take it seriously.

"First of all, I also have legal status officially."

With a flip of his hand, Luo Ming took out a special certificate and showed it to Swannick.

In the DC world for many years, Luo Ming's power has already penetrated all aspects of Chou Country, and it couldn't be easier to create several identities for himself.

After taking back the certificate, Luo Ming looked at Swannick playfully.

"Besides, you are not from Earth."

"If the official people knew that their General Swannick was a Martian, how do you think they would react?"

Hearing Luo Ming's words, Swannick was shocked!

Then he stared at Luo Ming.

Luo Ming's words were undoubtedly telling him that the other party knew his true identity.

This shocked Swannick. He had been hiding on Earth for many years, but he had never revealed his identity.

Seeing Luo Ming's victory, Swannick frowned.

"How do you know me?"

For people like Luo Ming, there is no need to deny their identity.

Swannick now wonders how Loming discovered him.

Seeing this, Luo Ming smiled mysteriously.

"If you want others to know, you have to do nothing unless you do it yourself!"

He didn't explain, but kept it secret. After all, he couldn't tell Swannick that he had read movies and comics and knew about him from them.

Swannick, on the surface, is an official general of mankind, but in fact, his identity is Martian Manhunter.

Centuries ago, Mairon and Saki, the Green Martians who lived on Mars, gave birth to a pair of twins. This was unusual in Martian culture as twins were rarely born.

The eldest brother was named Ron Rontz, which means "Supreme Light" in Martian language;

The younger one was born as a mutant Martian and did not inherit the telepathic ability of Martians. He was named Malafak, which means "Heart of Darkness."

As an adult, Ron became a "hunter", the equivalent of the Martian police.

He and his wife Mylia lived in a modest house and gave birth to their daughter Cam.

Many years later, Ron's mutant brother Malefak became very resistant to Martian culture and hated his own nation, so he frantically designed a genocide plan against his own people, and created a species called the "Ronmir Curse" Release the virus to his own people.

The virus spreads telepathically, infecting patients when they communicate telepathically, and leaving a shadow in the minds of those who suffer from it.

The Martians' fear of fire was exploited to make them imagine that they were being burned, and the mental stress was constantly aggravated, eventually leading to the spontaneous combustion of the body and death.

Ron asked his wife and daughter to avoid using telepathy as much as possible to avoid being infected, but they still couldn't escape their bad luck. They were infected one after another and burned to ashes in front of Ron's eyes.

The family tragedy left indelible scars on Ron's heart and almost drove him crazy.

As for how he came to earth, it seems a bit coincidental.

On Earth, a scientist named Oder designed and manufactured a transmission machine using legendary ancient Martian technology.

He wanted to try to make contact with extraterrestrial civilization, so he chose Mars, which is closer to the earth, and started the equipment.

As a result, the transmission light beam traveled through time and space and hit the Martian Manhunter on Mars centuries ago who was grieving for the death of his family, and brought him to modern Earth, landing in front of Dr. Oder's laboratory in Colorado.

Dr. Odd accepted Ron and nursed him back to health.

But the painful Martian was still heartbroken, and established a spiritual connection between him and the doctor, allowing the doctor to understand the tragedy that happened on Mars.

So the doctor is determined to help Ron get out of this shadow.

He used his spiritual connection to create a science fiction-like story background in Ron's mind.

In the end Ron En got out of the haze of family ruin and regained his rational mind.

Dr. Odd led him to want to become a great guardian, using the name "Martian Manhunter".

But soon Dr. Oder died of a heart attack.

Ron became a human again and could not return to Mars.

He used his transformation skills to turn himself into a human appearance, took a homophonic earth name "John Jones", and lived in the fictional Middleton of Ugly Country.         He joined the Middleton Police Department again, but Use your superpowers to help the earth's police maintain justice and protect the earth, your second home.

After that, he kept changing his identity for various reasons.

In the end, he changed his name to Swannick and became a military figure in the Ugly Kingdom. Then he was promoted step by step and became a powerful general.

Closer to home.

Luo Ming looked at Swannick and said seriously:

"Mars Manhunter, I'm not interested in your affairs. I came to you this time to invite you to join a team."

"In the near future, a powerful enemy will invade the earth."

"The demon-like creatures that have appeared in major countries recently are the vanguard of the enemy."

"In order to better protect the earth, it is better for us to unite."

"This team usually does not interfere in the affairs of major countries. It will only take action when there is a crisis on the earth and a powerful enemy invades."

"........."

Luo Ming briefly explained the matter to Martian Manhunter.

After hearing Luo Ming's words, Swannick fell into deep thought.

After a while, he looked at Luo Ming steadily.

“What happens if I don’t join?”

"No, my organization doesn't force people to join."

Although he wants to form the Justice League, there is no need to force people to join.

Swanick looked at Luo Ming deeply and suddenly smiled.

"It seems that if I don't join, there's nothing I can do!"

Now that Luo Ming had come to the door, after thinking about it, Swannick decided to join.

"Let me make it clear first that when I act with you, I will not act as Swannick, but as myself."

"I don't want to lose Swannick just yet."

Swannick would make this request because of his special status.

Once exposed, neither the military nor the government will tolerate him continuing to stay in this position.

Hearing this, Luo Ming waved his hand.

"I thought it was something. Isn't this normal?"

"The superheroes who are active now are all hiding their identities and not showing their true identities in front of the public."

"I and others in the alliance have no interest in revealing your identity."

Seeing Luo Ming say this, Swannick nodded.

Then the two discussed some details, and then Luo Ming left.

…………

Furry Bear Country.

In an abandoned chemical factory occupied by Steppenwolf.

A circle of light appeared, and then the figure of Steppenwolf appeared here.

After returning to his base, Steppenwolf looked gloomy.

The operations to snatch the mother boxes failed one after another. It was strange that he was in a good mood.

He knew where the two mother boxes were, but he just couldn't get to them. This made Steppenwolf more frustrated than ever.

With no choice, Steppenwolf can only target the last mother box.

It found its men and asked about the situation.

"That mother box on land, how come you are looking for it?"

"We haven't found it yet, but we have found some people who have been in contact with the Mother Box. Their bodies carry the smell of the Mother Box. If we catch them, we will definitely find the Mother Box."

"Okay, catch them quickly!"

…………

In a certain house in the metropolis.

After a tiring day, Silas came to the house where Victor lived.

I found this place to be a mess.

This made him a little confused and didn't know what was going on.

Before he could figure it out, a demonoid came here.

In Silas's frightened expression, the demonoid came to him and grabbed him.

The demonoid sniffed at Silas and showed a happy expression.

"You smell like the Mother Box, and it's very strong!"

"You must know the whereabouts of the Mother Box!"

After saying that, Silas couldn't react, so he kidnapped him and took him to an underground waterway between Metropolis and Gotham City.

This underground sewer is a temporary stronghold for the demonoids, which mainly imprisons the humans captured by the demonoids who smell like Mother Boxes.

These captured humans are basically scientists who have studied the Mother Box.

These scientists include those from Metropolis and Gotham City.

The disappearance of the scientists soon became known to the government officials.

Some witnesses who saw the demonoids appeared described and drew them.

It's just that they look like demons in their mouths, and they look like Batman.

Officer Gordon, who received the news, did not believe that Batman would do such a thing as kidnapping a scientist.

Batman has protected Gotham for so many years, how could he do something like kidnapping a scientist now?

It's just that Gordon believes in Batman, but others don't.

Under pressure, Gordon had to go to the top of the building, turn on the searchlight and call Batman.

This will not only prove Batman's innocence, but also understand the truth of the matter.

After a while, Gordon saw Batman appear.

When Batman showed up, Gordon didn't mince words.

He took out a stack of information.

"Several scientists have disappeared recently. According to eyewitness descriptions, they look like this."

On the drawing, there is a little man with bat-like wings.

Batman took one look and knew what was going on.

"This thing is called a demonoid, and it is a subordinate of aliens. They captured those scientists in order to find the Mother Box."

"As for the mother box, you'd better not know about it."

"These intruders are not something you can resist. Just do your job well."

"Don't worry, my team and I will rescue those who are missing."

"........."

Batman selectively told Gordon something.

Gordon nodded and did not refute Batman's arrangement.

However, when he heard that Batman still had a team, he became a little curious.

"How many people are on your team?"

"........."
