"The World Engine's downward thrust has stopped!"
In the rapidly falling air, Clark struggled to reach out and push the World Engine, attempting to push it away from the city that was now vividly before his eyes. He looked up to see that amidst the crimson radiance and the sound barrier, the thrusters that propelled the World Engine from above had completely died — in other words, the World Engine was now in a state of free fall.
"Saber has succeeded … Zod … Zod has been subdued."
Clark couldn't help but feel a little sad. Although he hadn't known Seiber for a long time, there was only one way that Seiber could have subdued Zod. His biological father's best friend, an old soldier who had spent his entire life fighting to save Krypton, had finally died on this land that was considered to be conquered by Krypton?
"Don't relax. This thing weighs thousands of tons. Even if it falls into the city, it will still be destroyed! Listen to me! Clark, try your best to slow down its fall! "
Professor Charles' voice rang in Superman's mind. "Tony and the War Machine will help you. I will set up a force field below. Remember? Let it fall into the sea! "
Clark's figure left the World Engine. He rushed to the bottom of the rapidly falling steel object and used all his strength to push it. However, compared to the accumulated kinetic energy of the World Engine, this little bit of reaction force was nothing. But in the next moment, two steel robots, one red and one blue, rushed down from the sky. Their armor still had traces of the battle just now.
"Superman? We're here to help you! "
Tony's body rushed to the bottom of the World Engine. His hands held up the mechanical object above his head. On the other side, there was the War Machine painted in the style of the American flag. Tony's good friend, the Air Force Colonel James Rhodes held up the other side. The three of them stood in a triangular position outside the falling World Engine.
"Superman! Rhodes! Listen to me … 3, 2, 1! Push!! "
Boom!
The eight thrusters of the two steel mechs were fully activated at this moment. Clark also roared angrily. The three of them pushed the giant steel mech upwards with all their might. The force of more than 700 tons from three directions slowed down the speed of the world fortress, but it was still fatal!
In the city of New York below, countless people saw the huge thing falling from the sky. Perhaps sensing that it was close to the ground, the three huge steel claws below the world engine slowly opened, making it look more like a black demon claw falling from the sky. Anyone with some common sense knew the terrible consequences of that thing crashing down.
Thus, in an instant, the entire city began to riot. In the face of a destructive threat, ordinary people were like ants that had been doused with water. They could only run around in panic. Rationality no longer belonged to them at this moment.
"Professor! We did our best! Are you ready? "
Tony bellowed out crazily. At the next moment, a thick spiritual barrier opened up in the sky below the three of them. At the top of the triangular wing building, Professor Charles spread out his arms, letting his tremendous spiritual power gush out like a tidal wave. It was like the sturdiest shield that shrouded the sky above New York.
Clang!
The world engine smashed down. The moment it hit the spiritual barrier, its speed suddenly came to a halt. Professor Charles clenched his left hand into a fist. At the moment when the spiritual barrier was broken, he made a punching gesture. A huge amount of spiritual power was like a fist, fiercely smashing at the bottom of the world engine, reducing its speed once again. However, this thing was too heavy. Even Professor Charles' all-out attack couldn't change the fact that it was falling.
"Go! Go! We'll be crushed to death! "
Tony looked at the sky less than 1000 meters below and shouted at Rhode and Clark. Rhode immediately jumped out from under the engine, while Clark gritted his teeth, unwilling to leave. Tony held on for a few seconds. Feeling the unshakable weight above him, he gritted his teeth and jumped out of the world engine.
"Clark, my child, as the only life form born naturally in the last era of Krypton, growing up on Earth, you have endless potential. How can you tap into your potential? Keep testing, keep breaking through … You will eventually become the god of this world! "
Joe Ale's voice rang in Clark's mind before his consciousness disappeared. He had a feeling that he could stop this disaster! He raised his head and looked at the black steel above his head. He gritted his teeth. Under the pressure of the power that exceeded his limit, every muscle and nerve in his body tightened. Every cell in his body was roaring, and every bit of strength was squeezed out.
Like a warrior waving a sword to challenge a giant, he was not willing to give up under the fearlessness that could be called stupid.
"I don't want to be a god …"
"I just want to be Clark Kent … I want to protect this world and not let it repeat the same mistake!"
"Ahhh!"
Kent's angry roar rang out 300 meters above New York. The people who could only close their eyes and wait for their deaths couldn't help but look up. They saw the black machine that represented destruction as it descended. They also saw the blue and red figure that was as small as an ant under the machine, but still persisting with all its might.
He was trying to save them!
"Come on!"
No one knew who was the first to shout, but soon, in the shadow of the world engine, thousands of people shouted together in downtown Manhattan.
"Come on!"
Hearing the voice behind him, Kent's gaze became more determined, as if a new power was born from his body. With the help of the professor's invisible soul power, he lifted the engine that weighed thousands of tons and fell diagonally towards the sea outside New York. The cold metal scraped the top of the tallest building in Manhattan. Amid the screams, he successfully dragged it out of the city.
Clang!
In the collision between the world engine and the pier building, Clark's exhausted body was thrown out, and the world engine was like a giant claw that fell into the water. In an instant, the world engine stirred up tsunami-like waves, slamming on the pier and cleaning everything along the way.
Puff!
In the middle of the pier, in a crater, Clark, who was smashed into the ground, smiled weakly. He breathed a sigh of relief, closed his eyes, and entered a deep sleep after being weakened. He received the sunlight from the sun and began to slowly recover his strength. Beside him, some brave dock workers carefully approached him. They silently looked at Kent who was lying in the crater. Finally, under the command of the foreman, they pulled him out of the ruins.
"Move! Get out of the way! He needs to rest … "
"Who is he?"
"I don't know … But I know that he is the hero who saved half of New York!"
On the sea outside New York Harbor, the world engine, nearly two hundred meters high, stood quietly in the setting sun. The afterglow sprinkled on the surface of this giant black metal creation, as if announcing that the earth had passed another difficult period of survival.
But the authorities will not let it stay here. Compared with SHIELD, Sky Sword Bureau is more or less unknown. It is more in line with the image of a legendary secret department, trying its best to hide everything in the dark. Occasionally, a ray of light will leak out, piercing the darkness that shrouds the world.
But this kind of hiding does not mean that it is weak. A department that can be on par with SHIELD cannot be weak.
Buzz!
Spatial fluctuations appeared over the coastline near New York. The mirror-like space was smashed by some kind of force. At the moment when the shining fragments scattered in all directions, a silver-gray ring-shaped fortress appeared in the sky above New York. Compared with the space-age style of the Helicarrier, this ring-shaped fortress looks more like a work of the future era.
It is like a steel fortress floating in the sky. Outside the steel wall, there are five sharp towers, which are five headquarters, responsible for a part of the work of this sky fortress. Under the shining energy grid full of technological sense, the energy convergence in the center of the ring-shaped fortress became more and more obvious, like a dark red blade about to be unsheathed. Its target is the world engine quietly supported above the sea below.
This extraterrestrial creation was too dangerous. It had to be completely destroyed.
But at this time, Zheng Xian's voice came into the ring-shaped fortress:
"Stop the attack! Pull the engine to the sea outside New York and wait for the next order! "
Buzz!
The light used for the attack began to soften in the next moment. Under the drive of the anti-gravity traction device below the five mechanical towers, the World Engine, which weighs thousands of tons, was slowly lifted from the sea. Eventually, it hung in the air as if it was pulled by an invisible chain, and then it was taken farther away by the ring-shaped fortress.
This scene was clearly recorded by the fearless New York reporters who were squeezed on the ruins of the pier. Especially when they saw the eastern country's logo spray-painted on the fortress, many of the reporters had a mess of ideas in their minds. Maybe they could use this incident to create a wave of hype. Other reporters surrounded the unconscious Clark, waiting for the savior of New York to wake up so that they could report a wave of first-hand news.
Reporters, especially those who sniffed out big news, were simply the most terrifying creatures in the world.
"Kuang"
The ring-shaped fortress flew extremely fast. After a while, it placed the World Engine in the designated position. The UA Outer Fleet has gathered on this deserted island, ready to carry out the transfer work of this alien creation.
In the center of the deserted island, Fury, who returned from the Helicarrier, looked at the World Engine that was slowly placed on the beach in the distance with his hands behind his back. His one eye shone with a special light.
General Zheng Xian's projection stood beside him and he whispered, "It's yours.
"It's yours now. Happy working with you, Fury."
"I feel like I've suffered a loss … Mr. Zheng, you took a complete Alien Flagship, but you threw a non-combat thing to us."
Fury tried to bargain, and a smile appeared on the corner of Zheng Xian's mouth. He looked at Fury gently:
"Why don't we change it? I take the World Engine and you take the Alien Flagship? "
"Uh … forget it."
Fury looked at the World Engine with a serious face: "This thing is too dangerous. SHIELD, as an international defense organization, is responsible for keeping this weapon that can destroy civilization."
"Hoo"
As soon as he finished speaking, a figure flapped his wings and landed on top of the World Engine. Fury's face immediately became ugly. Zheng Xian's projection glanced at Saber, who had folded his wings, and he smiled.
"Here comes your trouble, Fury, I'll go first."
"Shua"
His projection almost disappeared into the air along with the ring-shaped fortress, leaving SHIELD and the UA fleet on the sea. Opposite Fury, the demonized Seiber sat calmly on top of the world engine. His Venom armor was formed into a black trench coat. He took out a cigar from his sandalwood fan and lit it up. His arms were propped up on the cold metal below, and he leisurely blew smoke rings.
He looked at Fury, who was standing on a ring-shaped aircraft, slowly rising into the air. He reached out and patted the cold steel surface.
"Fury, it's time to distribute the loot. I think I have a good relationship with this World Engine. Why don't you give it to me?"
"Don't even think about it!"
Fury flatly refused with a gloomy face. Behind him, four blue beams of light appeared. Tony, Robert, War Machine, and Quicksilver appeared behind him. Obviously, the Director was ready to defend the loot by force.
"Shua"
Silver Krypton liquid metal rushed out of the interior of the World Engine. Under the control of Saber, it formed a lifelike demon figure in the sky behind him. More than a dozen glued metal claws swayed back and forth around Saber's body. He stood up and looked at the four people behind Fury. His voice became cold.
"I said, this thing … is mine!"
